“Marley goes above and beyond and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Our cat has to take medication and she did great handling that. We were out of town and I trusted her completely. She offered updates and pictures and we knew our cat was in great hands. Her knowledge and professionalism sets her apart from the rest! :)”


“Stephanie took excellent care of my diabetic dog who had some surprise additional restrictions after a tooth removal earlier that week. Additionally, she left my house spotless.”


“We feel so lucky to have found Travis - he is so responsible, conscientious, and fantastic with our dog. We have had him sit for us a few times now and will continue to request his services as often as possible! Our house gives him two thumbs, and two paws up!”



“Leah was excellent and kind, a good communicator, and made our pups very happy. One of our dogs had surgery recently before Leah’s stay and she handled the complicated medications easily.”

About: I love dogs and animals - they really are the best! I have owned three for many years, raising two from being puppies, and addressing challenging behavior with an older doggo, in addition to fostering multiple rescue dogs. I recently moved to WI, and my pets stayed home with my partner for now, and miss my furry companions and want to provide love and care for yours while I’m here! I am happy to work with you on what’s best, whether that is house sitting, boarding, or simply letting your animals out on walks or to go potty. Let’s chat! I currently work from home and have a remote job, so can provide your dog with any needs or attention that makes sense based on their schedule. I have some in-person meetings that occur throughout the week, and am generally around on the weekends regularly. If planning on boarding or daycare, my apartment is very dog-friendly, with many residents having pets and there are plenty of amenities available, whether walking around the neighborhood on leash or playing in the apartment’s fenced in dog run, that will give your pet what it needs. I can easily crate, take out for potty breaks, etc. I am also mindful of dog reactivity regardless of my own or neighbor’s dogs.

“12 out of 10. Jessa truly saved me with a last minute request after I had a few rover sitters canceled on me. She came and met my dogs and also was gracious enough to keep an eye on my garden. I will absolutely be using her in the future.”


“Maddie took such good care of our dog when we were away. We could tell at our meet and greet that Ferdinand and Maddie were a good match. Just knowing he was in good hands, being well fed and going on walks, gave us great peace of mind. She also helped us out by bringing in our mail, Amazon packages and wheeling our trash and recycle bins in for us. We were so happy to receive some very cute pictures of Ferdinand. You are an amazing sitter, and we will be recommending your services to all of our friends and family who have animals. Thanks a million Maddie!”


“Morgan was great! She stayed three nights with our cat. It was comforting knowing that he was getting attention and snuggles while we were gone. He was in a good mood when we returned home. I could tell that he was well-taken care of. I would use Morgan’s services again!”


About: Ive always been available for friends or family if they were going out off town and needed help caring for their pets. I’ve also had pets in my home for as long as I can remember! Me and my wife have always said whenever we get a big piece of land we were gonna adopt as many dogs as we could possibly fit on that land 😊 I will be there in your home to give your pet some much needed attention and love while you are away! I have a 6 year old daughter who loves animals so I’m sure she would love to get to hang out and take care of your fur babies as well! As of right now I am available after 11:30am each day. I work part time for UW in the morning’s From 7:30-11:30. Weekends are available as well! I will take care of your pets with the care and attention that they need and deserve. I love to be there when you aren’t able to be 😊

About: Hi! I'm Hailey. I am totally obsessed with animals, despite being a healthcare worker. I'm currently a student nurse at the UW, but it doesn't mean I can't spend time with animals! In my profile, you'll see pictures of two yellow labs; these two are gone now, but I grew up with them, and they taught me so much about life and love. I have spent time volunteering with the DCHS, Heartland Farm Sanctuary (where you see the emus), and Feathered Friends. Most recently, I adopted a disabled kitty cat and a labrador rescued from a puppy mill. Both of them fulfill my life in ways I can't even begin to explain. Having worked in nursing and volunteered with animals, I am no stranger to compassionate care! Other than going to classes, my life revolves around my dog. She goes everywhere with me, and we exercise for at least an hour together every day. Every room of my house has a dedicated spot for her! Your pets would be treated no differently (unless that's what you want!) My partner and I maintain a child-free and drug-free home in a quiet neighborhood. Our home is peaceful and low-stress, perfect for any pup. As for walking, I always carry personal protective equipment (pepper spray, alarms, location trackers) to maintain safety. I alone will be your beloved pet's caretaker per Rover policy.
