We felt super comfortable after meeting Beth and having a couple of meet n greets. Mia seemed to feel comfortable as well. We will definitely book Beth again next time we need a pet sitter!!”

“Our dog Chewy was excited to meet Korah the very first time and every time she saw her. Korah is enthusiastic and energetic. She sent pictures & notes every day of how well Chewy did each day. Her notes were reassuring that Chewy was eating, drinking and happy playing with his new friends. It was a great experience for Chewy. We felt confident that Chewy was receiving great care. We will definitely have Korah care for Chewy the next time we are gone.”

“Our pup is turning 3 in June and we had never left her with anyone. We found Kessia and felt an instant connection. She confidently, but gently assured our pup and us that there was nothing to worry about, and her two pups instantly welcomed ours in playful banter. We have no concerns in leaving our pup with Kessia.”

About: I’ve watched my neighbors animals. I’ve had pets of my own. What sets me apart, I would say. My heart. I wish I could have animals full time. Just can’t where I am. I work full time during the week, home every weekend. I’ll always make time to care for your pet/pets! Treat them like they’re mine. Ty. I have a secure entrance and an extra door coming to my apartment. I’ll always make sure they are on a leash outside. And they are welcome anywhere inside

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and honestly can’t remember a time when I wasn’t surrounded by pets. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I regularly dog sit for friends and family, and I genuinely love it. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I show up with patience, energy, and a lot of love. I take pet care seriously, but I also truly enjoy it. Being around animals is my happy place. I probably like them more than humans, but I’ll let your pet be the judge of that. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I’m typically home and have a flexible schedule. I’m usually out for a couple hours most days, but otherwise I’m around and able to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. On weekends I’m also fairly flexible and either at home or doing low-key activities, so I can adjust easily to the needs of each pet. I enjoy making pet care a consistent part of my routine and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I provide calm, attentive care based on each pet’s needs and comfort level. In my home, I keep things very relaxed with lots of supervision, cuddle time, potty breaks, playtime, and regular outdoor walks on a leash. I also make sure pets are fed on schedule and always have fresh water. In a client’s home, I prefer to focus on walks and potty breaks or quick check-ins depending on what’s needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking closely to their normal routine.

About: Having had pets all my life, I really understand how special dogs and cats are. I promise to treat your furry family member with the same care, respect, and love that they would expect at home. I have a flexible schedule and would like to fill my free time. Although I plan to go back to school in January, I’ll still be available for pet sitting. I have a fenced yard where your pup can play freely, and a cozy, smoke-free home perfect for snuggles. Currently, I don't have any pets in my home, and I'm preparing my space to be comfortable, warm, and welcoming for stays.

“My dog Kylo stayed with Kim and her family for the first time for about a week, and although it’s always a little nerve-wracking leaving him with a new sitter, especially for an extended length of time, Kim was gracious and communicative before and during my trip. She sent photos and even reached out when he had some tummy issues so we could help him feel well again. I’m truly grateful to have found her and will definitely book with her again.”

About: I love dogs and have two of my own - a little man named Sid and big golden named Ruby. Everyone in my family has a dog as well so I am very used to being around pets. I am an active person and would love to walk, run with, or care for your dog! I work 2 days a week and I am flexible on weekends, so just let me know what you're thinking! We have two kids at home, 3 and under, so must be okay with sweet kiddos. I live in home with a big fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs. I have a small dog and large dog who get along very well with other dogs. They get super playful around other dogs, so your dog would surely have a fun time and get all his/her energy out! I am working part-time and home with my babies the other days, allowing a lot of flexibility with caring for your pet. We have some occasional things planned for weekends but are otherwise pretty open! I have a fenced in, nice yard for dogs to play and run in. We live in a great walking neighborhood. We have two dogs to keep your fur baby company as well as two young children. Animals must be kid-friendly for our home!

About: I have owned dogs and cats since I was a child. I started volunteering at my local animal shelter when I was 14 and I also was employed there for 8 years. I own 3 cats currently and take care of indoor and outdoor dogs for family and friends. I work an 8-430 m-f job so any dog sitting will be around this schedule. Potty breaks during the work week will be approximately 8 hours apart because of this but can provide more during the weekdays. Drop in visits and walks can be any time on the weekends but I'm the evenings during the week! I have a yard but it is not fenced in. I do have cats that can keep yours company as long as they are cat friendly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Foster home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Foster.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Foster sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in WI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
