“She took my cat on less than a days notice, treating her like her own, and when my flight got delayed a day, she was super understanding. Would recommend to anyone who has pets. I will be using her again indefinitely”
“First time using a pet sitter or pet service. Didn’t need the services until my cat got diagnosed with diabetes. Glad to find this app and Cathryn. Thanks for taking good care of my best friend while I was away.”
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I’ve spent most of my life caring for animals and building trusting, meaningful relationships with them. I’m deeply passionate about animal welfare and have worked in a variety of roles including groomer, doggy daycare attendant, veterinary assistant, and dog trainer. Currently, I’m a full-time student studying Wildlife Management and Ecology, which gives me a flexible schedule that works well with pet sitting. Whether you need daily walks, medication administration, or just someone to give your pet loving attention while you’re away, I offer dependable care tailored to your schedule and your pet’s unique needs. I specialize in in-home pet sitting services that prioritize your pet’s comfort and routine. My services include: • Walks and exercise • Feeding and playtime • Medication administration • Personalized attention and companionship I’m a full time student majoring in Wildlife Management & Ecology, but I still maintain a flexible calendar that allows me to reliably fit in pet care around my classes. I’m always happy to coordinate with each client to find visit times that work well for both of us, so your pet receives consistent, thoughtful care and attention. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on maintaining a familiar, low-stress environment where your pet feels safe and secure. I provide attentive care tailored to their routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and any specific needs they may have. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality so I can offer care that feels comforting and consistent while you’re away.
“I am so grateful for Ashley! Ashley played with Melman during each visit and also scooped his litter box. I felt so much better knowing that she visited my kitty and gave him some social time while I was gone. She was also ready to help with drop-in visits for Melman on very short notice, and even found the time to schedule a meet and greet beforehand. Thank you Ashley!”
“If you are in need of an amazing sitter who will care for your pet as their own, Julia is the person to book! We've worked with Julia many times, and each is as wonderful as the last. She is thorough, thoughtful, and engaging. My little guy Dodie absolutely adores Julia, and I can relax and vacation with peace of mind knowing he's safe, well-fed, and well-loved when we're away.”
“Excellent attention to details, willing to accommodate me when I booked the wrong date, dropped what she was doing & headed over to care for my babies while I was out of town. 10/10 would recommend Sarah to anyone!!!”

About: I have taken care of many animals during my life and really just want to help out any way I can. I love all animals and know that they need special care to stay happy and healthy. During the Summer, I am home from college and like helping my community with any pet needs they may have. I do have other main jobs that I work at and my availability may be limited. I just need to know that dates early on, to see if I am available to help out. By going to your home, your pet feels more safe and happy while you are away. I will come and keep your pet company and make sure they stay safe while your out.
About: My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I have had dogs in my family since I was 10. I have a flexible schedule and work part-time, so I can work with many other time requests and schedules. I can care for your pet on weekends also. I have a very large yard for your dog to play in and I have 2 friendly dogs to keep them company. I can crate your pet also if needed.
About: I've been around animals my entire life. I was a co-owner of a pet sitting business here in Wisconsin for approximately 15 years and I have experience dog sitting, house-sitting and walking those pups. (and some cats too). I've taken Canine first aid and CPR classes and also attended and participated in dog training, behavior and obedience seminars. I've volunteered for a few rescues, spay/neuter events, fundraising events for the humane society, walks, provided transports and fostered many dogs. A few even became my own for awhile. I am retired from 25 years in law enforcement and I and have lots of time to devote to taking care of your pets. I enjoy keeping active and love walking. I am responsible, prompt and would enjoy hanging out and keeping your animals company. My schedule is pretty flexible and open. I do not do overnight stays however I can stay for longer periods of time if necessary. I know dogs love their own homes and it causes them stress when they have to leave, so I prefer to watch pets in their own environments. I am flexible to whatever you may need to make your animals comfortable, playtime, walks, potty breaks and can provide some cleaning if needed. I would treat your home and your animals as though they were my own.

Tracy E.
“I highly recommend Tracy for caring for people's pets through Rover - whether they be dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, etc. She and I owned and operated a pet-sitting service in Wisconsin for about 12 years and she was fantastic with all our clients' pets, tending to their every need and being highly observant of any changes in their behavior, mood, or health, and alerting the owners immediately if something didn't seem right. If veterinary care was needed Tracy made certain it was received in a timely manner and the owners were continually updated on how the pet was doing afterward. On a personal level, Tracy and I also shared several dogs together over the years and she demonstrated the same kind of love and attention to our clients' pets that she did with our own dogs. Being a former cat owner, Tracy has a keen understanding of them, as well. In general, Tracy has a deep and profound love of all animals, even making sure that wild birds around her yard and neighborhood cats that are mostly living outside are constantly fed and watered. Anyone hiring Tracy to care for their beloved pets could rest assured that they would be treated as if they were her own and they'd be in the best possible hands while you're away - whether for a day or several days at a time.”
