“Rhandee did a great job with our pups and was very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dogs prior to our trip, which was super appreciated. We would definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I don’t remember a time without them. I have worked with a lot of animals that needed medications for healthcare problems. I do currently work a full time job and a volunteer job but I am looking to expand my horizon and spend more time with animals. My pets have a fenced in yard at home, I do also have a barn that I love to take the dogs out to to run at.

About: I've cared for cats and dogs my own as well as other owners, for the last 20-plus years I also have experience with other kinds of animals. I protect animals fiercely and I am extremely receptive of detail and specifics that any pet owner may have for me. I have varied availability throughout the week and weekend. Although I have another job, and have a family, I still have flexibility to do pet care. :-) I care for my own animals deeply in one of my top priorities is meeting their needs. I probably even go above and beyond for someone else's pet as I understand that someone else is putting their fur babies in my care. I appreciate good communication and I pay attention to details that a pet owner may have for me.

About: Your pets health and wellbeing is my top priority. I take the time to connect with them and be there for them while you are away. It can be an anxious time for pets, but I am calm, patient, and compassionate towards them. I have experience caring for family pets big and small, working dogs, and horses/goats while owners are away for extended periods of time. My first dog was a loving, energetic German Shorthaired Pointer who taught me self awareness as a pet owner. I currently work a seasonal position 7am to 3:30pm during Monday-Friday and I am available to house/pet sit while you’re away. Just send me a message and we can talk about how I might best help your family’s most important member :) Caring for your pet is a very important job that I take seriously. When I am with them I take the time to play/interact with them and make sure they are getting enough physical and mental exercise.

“Once again, Jesse is incredible with our pets. She cares for them just like we would, and I couldn’t leave them with anything less than that level of love and care. Thank you Jesse for being awesome!”

About: I have had cats for more than half of my life and dog-sat for around the same amount of time. I used to dog sit two huskies all the time, had a dog of my own for a short time, and have experience dog sitting for labs as well! I have even taken care of a bearded dragon and snake on multiple occasions. Rover does not list animals other than cats and dogs directly but I am happy to arrange care for another animal as well, including exotic animals, for a fee that can be discussed. I am volunteering at the humane society and am very involved in caring for animals as much as I have time for. I am excited and ready to care for any and all pets that need it and will stick to specific details given. I won't hesitate to ask questions about the care of your pets when I have them to make sure your pet gets the utmost care and love while you're away or busy, and id yoy have plants that need watering, say the word and I'll do that too! I am currently full time in senior year of high-school and volunteering for two hours a week on the weekends, but I graduate in a month and will have all the time in the world to pet sit! I follow every instruction for food, water, walk, and treats and ask questions if I am unsure of something. I tend to stay longer than needed for check in visits just to give pets some company if I have the time. Unless pets are not very social, they will get all kinds of attention, and if they have any anxiety or behavioral differences I will be very careful and act however is best for them. I am very sure to be on time for visits and will be very specific to follow instructions for walking or being taken outside.

“As always, another great sitting! Phillip has sat our old gal several times, she has a hard time with accidents when we are gone (and Phillip never makes us feel like she’s an inconvenience, even though it’s a lot of cleaning). This time, Wiggles was comfortable enough to eat solid food with him (has never happened before with a sitter!) and that’s a true sign of how safe she must feel! Great pics and a happy dog, thanks Phillip!”

About: I have had dogs since my childhood and have worked with breeds of different sizes and backgrounds, including some with special needs. In my home life, I have two cats that I adore and spend much of my free time with. I’m available all day on weekends, as well as from 5:30pm onward on weekdays (typically). If you have specific requirements for your animal let me know and we can create a schedule that works best for you! I can perform any specific needs that your pet may need. One of my own pets has special medical requirements, so I am familiar with taking care of animals that need extra care.

About: I have several years of experience caring for many different types of animals. I have been a cat owner my whole life, so am very comfortable caring for cats (indoor or outdoor) in any capacity. I have previous experience dog-sitting for both small and large dogs, as well as senior dogs. I have experience providing drop-in visits for potty breaks, walks, feedings, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications, playtime, extra cuddles, as well as staying overnight to provide daily care for pets whose owners are out of town for multiple days. I also have some experience checking in and feeding farm animals such as chickens, guineas, farm cats, and cows. I am a big animal lover that has been around animals my whole life. I would love to give you peace of mind when you are away from home to know your pets are being looked after and well cared for! Currently a full-time college student and working part time in the Madison area. I have a flexible schedule so can do drop-in visits or stay overnight with pets if you live within a decent commuting distance to Madison. Comfortable caring for many different types of animals. I can provide most anything from a quick check-in, to an overnight stay if feasible. I am able to provide walks or outdoor time for dogs, comfortable cleaning litter boxes or other pet cages, and can even administer medications if needed too.

“We (and our dogs) loved having Nicole sit for us. She is an excellent communicator and took care of our pups like they were her own. I’d absolutely have her stay with our dogs again—and based on their lukewarm reaction to us coming home, I think they’d like to see her again too. 🤣”

“Amanda was a godsend when our house sitter cancelled last minute. We met her first then her with her dog, Sedona, and I knew right away this would work out really well. You see my dog, Millie, doesn’t warm up to people easily and doesn’t always play nice with other dogs but Millie instantly liked both of them. Amanda stayed at our house along with Sedona, so Millie was spoiled having her two new friends stay with her. They went on many walks and Amanda sent me lots of pictures while we were gone. I will definitely use Amanda again!”

About: Lifelong pet owner and experienced sitter! Having managed a multi-pet household (3 dogs, 2 cats), I’m an expert at maintaining routines, administering care, and ensuring every pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. All of my pets were specific in their needs and that individualized care is the best route. Pet sitting turned into a side hustle during college, and I loved it so much that I continued to balance it in my schedule after I graduated. As a teacher, I bring patience and organization to every visit, ensuring your furry family members get the care they deserve. I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy puppy play to the specific boundaries of a senior cat. Before the school year comes to a close on June 5th, I will only be able to care for a pet before 7:30am and after 4pm. Once I finish up with teaching classes, I will have a very flexible schedule to help out whenever needed! I treat your home with the utmost respect and your pets with the deepest affection. My goal is to maintain their familiar routines in their own sanctuary, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and completely at ease until you return.

About: I’ve loved dogs since I can remember. Since my parents are allergic I could not own one growing up so I volunteered walking all different sorts of dogs at our local shelter. Along with that, I’ve dog sat most of my life and brought shelter dogs on road trips and many other fun adventures. I work nights at Starbucks, so I have mornings, early afternoons, and nights open ( as I only work until 7:45pm) ! I have three days off a week to go on adventures, and looove being outside! Making a pet feel comfortable and loved is so so important. Any instructions are always followed and I love being able to create my own bond with the animal as well!

“Sam took excellent care of my dogs and home. I was happy to get pics and updates, as well as to come home to a clean house. He even washed the bedsheets ? I recommend Sam for both house and pet sitting!”

“Emma was a great sitter! We will definitely use her again! She sent lots of updates and our guy was very happy the whole time. She also kept our house very clean.”

Laurel S.

“Ana did a great job with Willow. She pictures daily and reassured me Willow was good. Ana is professional and loving. Ana was also very flexible with me when I needed an extra night last minute. I will definitely be booking with Ana again!”
