“Alex was great! He handled our high energy dog very well. Millie was a happy girl when we got home! He followed our instructions and I felt very comfortable that Millie would be well taken care of on the drop in visit. Would definitely recommend Alex!”

“Can't recommend Heidi highly enough. She took care of my two fur babies while I was on a business trip for work, and even went the extra mile of leaving the trash for pickup on trash day, and running me to the travel plaza for the shuttle pickup on the day I left. She stayed in constant communication with me and even checked on them late when we had a derecho come through the night after I left. I will definitely be requesting her to check in on my babies again the next time I have to travel for work. Unrelated but also notable - she takes professional-level pet photos that she includes in the daily check in cards. She missed her calling as a pet photographer!!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, I’ve worked with seniors and puppies and everything in between! I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare and have done lots of grooming for both cats and dogs! I am available night and day! I am easy to reach and am ready to come at any time! I am a stay at home cat mom! I have 2 cats of my own, I give them the best nutrition and brain stimulation! I am constantly researching the best for both cats and dogs!
About: Most of my pet care experience comes from pet sitting dogs for my neighbors, family, and friends. I also have personal experience due to living with 3 dogs of my own, and a cat. I have experience with senior dogs that have difficulty moving and are on a specific diet. I currently work part-time and as a student! Due to this, my schedule is incredibly flexible and open! Most weekday evenings, weekends, I am available! I know the importance of routine, safety, and trust when it comes to our pets. This is why I make sure to follow your guidelines to the T so that your pet is as comfortable as possible.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years and currently have two dogs of my own that I take on regular walks and lots of adventures. I’ve also helped care for my sister’s two dogs over the past 5 years whenever needed. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and love. I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family because dogs truly are the best! I work full time Monday through Friday and am available for pet care after 4 PM on weekdays. I have open availability on weekends for walks, drop-ins and playtime. Since I have two dogs of my own, caring for pets is already a big part of my daily routine, and I love making sure dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. In my home, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and love throughout the day. Since I don’t have a large yard, I take my dogs on regular walks and make time for play and enrichment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their normal routine consistent so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I’m very flexible and happy to follow any specific instructions, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, crate routines, or extra cuddle time. Just let me know what your pet needs, and I’ll make it happen!
“She was wonderful! Professional, knowledgeable and kind. Most people that love their animals find it stressful to leave. I can't tell you how comforting it is to find someone you trust. She treated them like I do. She checked their paws in the cold like I do and made sure they didn't get too cold. She shared pictures so I could see they were playing and happy. I will be using her again. I'm already thinking of future visits. If you choose her you will not be disappointed. Your pets will be well cared for and loved.”

About: Hi, my name is Olivia. I was looking for extra money so I figured why not do something I love? I adore all kind of animals, big or small. I have been taking care of animals for about two years now. I've watched my neighbors dogs and my friends dogs/cats. And I have always received good feedback. I am also very active so I will have no problem playing with and walking your pets! I feel like what sets me apart is that I am very passionate about animals and I don't believe in doing anything half way. Either do it above and beyond, or don't do it at all. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I just got back from two years of working abroad and haven’t started my new job yet so I have plenty of free time for the time being! :) When caring for your pets, I try to care for and love them as much as you do! Also, when it comes to house sitting, I try to keep the house clean and tidy so you can return home to a neat house.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 10 years old. Family, neighbors, and friends have always trusted me to do so. They bring extra happiness to my every day life! I have always said, we don’t deserve animals. I have a special place in my heart for them! I am looking to do this as an extra source of income to help provide for my family. This sounds like a great opportunity for me to make some income while doing something I love! I am flexible. I have two dogs, and two cats of my own! One is a border collie ( 5 years old) who loves to herd the cats around the house and stare at them. The other is a black lab (1.5 years old) who is a big teddy bear and doesn’t know his own size but, is a gentle giant. The two cats mind their own business but, come out for cuddles every so often. They definitely love their treats! We unfortunately do not have a fenced in yard but, we have dog leads that our dogs are able to be let out on. We also let them run free when we are out there with them. They love tossing the ball around and chasing after it! Having a friendly/safe neighborhood has made it very enjoyable for walks as well. Our home has hardwood floor throughout the main living areas so, it is easy for clean up if needed! We are animal friendly 🥰🐾
About: My mother breeds miniature Australian shepherds and I used to work with her for 10 years taking care of newborn, teenage, and adult dogs. I have done everything from training, bathing, giving medications, and plenty of animal loving! We would board all types of dogs big to small too. I grew up with many dogs in my household and know first hand how our animals are our children and how to care and make them feel so very loved. I am currently a flight attendant and my schedule varies month to month. The days that I am home I will be able and can send you my schedule a month in advance. I have a spacious apartment with a dog park attached as well as a wonderful walking trail to get your furry loved one the exercise they need. I do have a cat that keeps to himself but loves dogs. If you’re dog just wants the company I do allow dogs on my couch and bed. Have plenty of toys, water and food dish, and pee pee pads just in case.

About: I am a mother of both the human and furry type! I truly believe our pets are a member of the family. I've had dogs, puppies, cats, kitties, guinea pigs, fish, toads, frogs, you name it, Ive had them! I love them all! I grew up with pets and feel there is no love like your dogs love! I Currently have two dogs, one of which is a Great Pyrenees that I have rehabilitated from a broken leg he sustained at nine months old. So I really do know the dedication and love it takes to care for an animal. I'd love to help anyone out with their dog needs. I'm also willing to help out with other animals in the home if needed. I love kitties too..
About: As a passionate pet sitter, I bring a wealth of specialized skills to the table. I’m experienced in puppy and kitten training, ensuring your young furry friend learns good manners while you’re away.

With a deep understanding of animal behavior, I create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for pets of all ages.

I'm currently a student at UW-Stout, so I'm usually around for quick or last minute drop in for emergencies and I'm always willing to be flexible! I cannot accommodate for pets in my home, as I live in a small apartment not suitable for multiple animals. However, I will provide my best care and services wherever they are needed within each clients preferences and needs.
About: I have loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I’ve always had a dog since i was little and i always adored them. I have worked with dogs for about a year now at Camp Bow Wow, where we supervised play, grooming, and gave breakfast and dinner. I’ve had experience with almost every kind of dog you can think of, and I’m good in any kind of situation. I am only working mornings and am completely free in my late afternoon/ evenings. I would love to spend my free time with some furry friends i’m able to come to you! i’m at college so i do not have my dog at school with me! But i Typically bring my dog for a walk everyday! He is super active so i try to get him outdoors and get some energy out!
About: provide loving, experienced care for your dog, drawing from a lifetime of owning pets and growing up with a mom who’s a professional dog groomer. Whether it’s playful puppies or gentle senior dogs, your pet will feel right at home with me. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, as I work part-time at night, allowing me to dedicate my daytime hours to caring for your pets. Balancing school and family life has taught me exceptional time management, ensuring your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes to ensure your pets remain comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care needs, to give your pets the best experience possible.

About: Dogs, cats and birds have always been a part of my life. As a child, we even had a pet crow named Butch! I work from home so your fur or feather baby won’t be left alone. My last two dogs passed away after months of battling cancer. My siberian husky had nasal cancer and my papillion had lymphoma. I have experience providing palliative care for dogs that are not feeling well and probably need extra love and attention. Currently, my resident dog is a foster failure named Peppy. Occasionally, I will have a foster dog in addition to my resident dog. I would disclose that information before booking. I currently work from home and my schedule is very flexible. After work, I walk my dog either around the neighborhood or we go to Red Cedar trail or to a park in town. I can easily crate your dog if you request it but it’s ok if he/she sleeps wherever. My dog freaks out in a crate (he was a breeder release) so he sleeps wherever he chooses. He is very gentle and has no teeth so I will not care for any aggressive dog.
About: I've taken care of dogs of various breeds, sizes and ages for family, friends, and now people on Rover. I must say, I've met some pretty awesome dogs and people through Rover. I am retired, but clean a couple houses and a furniture store on a part-time basis. The longest I'm away is typically 4 to 5 hours on cleaning days. I don't have a dog of my own at this time. My Ella, sadly crossed the rainbow bridge in December of 2021. Crazy how your life totally changes when they are gone. I miss all my dogs more than anything and will some day have another dog or two. In the meantime, I get my dog fix by taking care of other people's dogs. I will provide exercise and companionship for your dog(s) as if they were my own. I know how hard it is to leave them when you want some time away. I will do my best to keep them on the schedule and routine they are used to.
