“We were so happy with Jamie's house sitting, we would ask her to stay with our dogs again in a heartbeat. We have two large (50+lb) dogs - one is very anxious, and the other is standoffish with new people, so I had been hesitant to bring an unknown person in to watch them while we were out of town. Jamie seemed to win them over with ease. During our meet & greet, my anxious dog was climbing up on her and demanding love by the time Jamie sat on the couch. And, partway through the week we were gone, we received a wonderful note from Jamie declaring that our standoffish dog was now accepting belly rubs (a status almost none of our relatives have reached!). Jamie was wonderful with text messages and pictures, and great about reaching out if she had any questions. But the proof is in the pudding - we came home to two amazingly happy, calm dogs, who had spent the week we were gone getting love and peanut butter from a fantastic dog sitter!”


“I’m so thankful I found Carole two years ago! She’s amazing with my senior dog, Miley! Carole is communicative and so in-tune with Miley’s needs—she’s the best and I can’t imagine anyone else caring for Miley.”

“Carly was so great to work with! She was prompt to respond and set up a meet and greet! She was able to work with our schedule and took great care of our pets. I got daily updates with some great pictures of Melody and Theo! Would definitely like to work with her again!”

“Evelyn did a fantastic job taking care of our pup for a long weekend. She made sure he had food, plenty of walks, and all the snuggles while we were gone. Thanks for everything, Evelyn!!”

“We could not have asked for a better dog sitter. Catherine stayed at our home with our dog for 12 days and took exceptional care the entire time. She sent daily updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind. Our dog was happy and healthy when we returned. We would absolutely book Catherine again and recommend her to family and friends.”

“Alex is great with animals, respectful, kind, caring and compassionate. She is great with communication and made me feel like my pets were being well cared for. Highly recommend!”

“It was our second time hiring Elizabeth, another positive experience. My pooch likes his walks and we are grateful she is ok with taking him. She is great with giving updates and sending photos. Upon return the house was just as we left it.”

“Carrianne is the best!!! She is always keeping us in the loop with updates and pictures. She takes such good care of our pup and our home when we are out of town! Simply the best!!!❤️”

“Riley is great with our crabby old men and we appreciate all the pictures she sends! It was even their birthday on Monday and she sent a video of her singing happy birthday to them 🥺”

“Jessica has taken care of our cats, pup, and home while we’re traveling multiple times. She is such a wonderful sitter, and we’re really grateful to have found her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and wonderful to work with!”
“Kathryn is just wonderful! She is patient, kind, and our boys have the best time with her when she watches them - you can feel their joy through the lovely updates she sends. :) Highly recommend her for all your pup-sitting needs!”

“Could not recommend more! Was amazing with my dog and when I got stuck and had to stay an extra day got me out of a tight spot by continuing to look after my dog! I would recommend to anyone and will be using again!”
About: Hi my name is Nora! I'm 21 years old and recent grad from University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. I have lots of pet sitting experience. I have house-sat while taking care of more than three pets, including cats and dogs. I have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medicine and pills. At my own home I have 2 rescue dogs. In addition, I'm very comfortable taking care of puppies I have potty trained and crate trained dogs in the past. I am comfortable with both cats and dogs. I LOVE animals, they are so nurturing and smart and it is so fulfilling caring for animals. I currently work part-time so my schedule is very flexible and I am very adaptable. I am communicative and can always find the best solution. I currently work only about 20 hrs a week allowing for lots of time to walk and care for pets! I am a very gentle and caring pet sitter I strictly follow the client's instructions and ask questions when needed. I like to ensure that the pets I sit for are very comfortable with me.
“Julianna was incredible! She stayed at my house for a week while we were gone to watch Sophia. She kept me updated on everything that was going on and gave her some extra love when she needed it. Sophia doesn’t love being away from us but Julianna made sure she was okay and did everything she could to make sure she was happy! Would definitely recommend her <3”
“Ashley took absolutely excellent care of our cat while we were out of the country for a week! I knew from the moment she met our cat during our meet and greet that our little girl was going to be in great hands. Throughout the trip, Ashley reached out with check-ins and photos reflecting how well she was being taken care of. She also responded quickly to any messages and went above and beyond watching our place. We (and our cat) look forward to seeing her again in the future!”

“Very hard for me to leave my baby! But Bowie was at ease with Travis right away (and she can be particular about men)! He did a great job of making sure I felt comfortable and putting my mind at ease by sending lots of great pictures where Bowie looked happy and she got lots of walks and outdoor time!”

“We had Keisha stay for a 7 day sit for our dog and cat. Keisha was incredible and everything we could have ever wanted in a sitter! She sent us updates at least daily, sometimes more with pictures which is what we requested! I made an error and she was flexible with adding another day to her stay! Could not recommend her enough, we will definitely use her again in the future!!”

“Jackie stayed in our house with our dog for the weekend and she was great. Our husky Zero is our baby and a bit particular sometimes but she took it all in stride. She sent pictures throughout the weekend and reached out when she had questions. We also tried to make the house nice and neat for her time here and when she left we were wondering if she actually touched anything it was still so clean! We highly recommend Jackie and plan on booking her in the future when we're away for any extended amount of time.”

Jamie was simply amazing & incredibly reliable! I was in the UK for nearly one full month and Jamie house sat with my two dogs and two cats. One of my dogs is very high energy and the other is 15. During my travels, my older dog, Macy, developed a second round of vestibular disease. Jamie immediately noticed the change in Macy's coordination and reached out to me. We coordinated a same-day visit to the vet, followed by regular medication. The condition required Jamie to carry Macy up and down the stairs for the remainder of the sit. Jamie took care of Macy while still ensuring my high-energy dog got the play time he needed. I cannot say enough about Jamie's dedication and communication skills. Highly recommend!
Lily absolutely exceeded my expectations with her attention to detail, genuine care and concern for my pups, and thoroughness! My dogs were well taken care of with feeding, walking (carefully in a heat wave), fireworks, and just general companionship. I also returned to my home probably looking better than how I left it - well cared for, cleaned, and plants alive and well. The daily updates were fantastic and very reassuring. Lily is amazing and I hope we can book again :)

Travis took incredible care of our two dogs and handled a genuinely chaotic situation with so much calm and flexibility. The night before we left, our AC failed during a heat wave. While we were stuck across the country juggling an HVAC company and a landlord who wasn’t prioritizing the issue at all, Travis kept the dogs safe, comfortable, and monitored. He checked in regularly so we knew how they were doing, and he adjusted his schedule so repairs could be made. His support made a huge difference for our peace of mind during a very stressful situation for us and I’m sure him. One of our dogs is anxious, skittish, and extremely high‑energy, and Travis did an amazing job letting her warm up at her own pace while still getting her out for consistent walks. Both dogs were well cared for the entire stay. We’re so grateful for how he handled everything and will absolutely book with him Again. Thank you Travis!

Riley was wonderful with our boys. They are relatively recent rescues, so have some behavioral quirks. Riley quickly sussed out how to approach the boys. She sent regular updates and photos, which I so appreciated!! I wouldn't hesitate to have her stay with Rocky and Gordo anytime!

Lauren was great! She stayed with my pups while I was at summerfest for the day. She was so responsive, gave updates, and my boys loved her. She was extremely respectful of my space and even sent a video of locking the door and giving the key back since I wasn’t home yet. Will be using her services again!

First time user of Rover, and we love Sydney! Our dogs loved her, which one of our dogs is not a fan of strangers. But he approved so much that he jumped up and cuddled next to her immediately. Which DOES NOT happen! She was thorough with asking questions. We will be using Sydney again!

Evelyn was great to work with! She was prompt and very flexible when we needed to do the meet and greet on short notice. She took good care of Theo and Melody, they both seemed quite content when we came back from our trip! Daily updates with photos are always appreciated. Would definitely like to work with her again!

Jackie was amazing with my French Bulldog, Hazel. I was out of the country for a week and she stayed at my condo with Hazel. She sent me updates throughout the day and kept Hazel active, which I love. I would highly recommend Jackie for your dog sitting needs and will definitely use her again.

Laura was absolutely wonderful and my dog, Rocky, seemed very happy to be with her while we were gone! I reached out to Laura last minute when my other arrangement fell through. We squeezed in two meet and greets within a week just to be sure Rocky was a good fit for her and vice versa. She took notes and really listened to all of the info I shared about Rocky’s needs, quirks, etc. I felt very confident in leaving him with Laura and having her stay at our home. She sent a daily update with a few photos each day, and Rocky was happy as a clam playing, snuggling, and walking to the park with her. I highly recommend Laura and plan to have her stay with Rocky again later this summer!
