“We have had Shannon dog sit a couple of times over the last month and couldn’t be more grateful of her great care! We will definitely continue to use Shannon for drop in visits and dog sitting in the future, as needed. So nice to come home to have our dog content and happy!”
“Jacalyn is awesome. Great communication skills. Punctual. We have one dog that doesn't take well to strangers, takes a long time to warm up, yet at the first meet and greet, he went right up to her for pets. I was impressed. Our other dog wanted her attention also. I would highly recommend her for all pet care needs.”
“Evita was absolutely amazing with both of our dogs. She took great care of them and even pivoted during unforeseen circumstances to ensure our dogs stayed loved on and safe while we were gone. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: Nice to meet you! My name is Courtney. I created my business because I too struggled to find a reliable dog sitter for my pets. I wanted to provide professional, trustworthy care to my fellow pet owners. People have described me as confident, responsible, and compassionate. I am very passionate about working with pets. I’ve worked with hundreds of dogs, ranging from all dog breeds and sizes. I have been a dog trainer and dog sitter for over 10 years, and I truly have a passion for dogs. Take me to a dog park and I can tell you about every single dogs play style, body language and behavior. What sets my dog sitting and boarding services apart is my understanding of the canine mind and their unique needs for enrichment and reinforcement, crucial for their health and happiness. I have extensive training and real world experience training K9s and companion dogs which requires creativity, patience, and compassion. I also have extensive knowledge of various dog health issues, having cared for blind dogs, deaf dogs, and those with special needs. I firmly believe there are no 'bad' dogs and strive to cater to each client's specific needs. Reactive, nervous, or anxious dogs are always welcome in my care without judgment. Ensuring dogs' safety is my top priority because, like you, my dogs are family, and I treat every pet as such. Trusting somebody with your pets can be nerve wracking, and you can be assured the care, safety, and well being of your family member is taken seriously. “Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.” George Eliot Important note: I have a three day cancellation fee, so please be sure to let me know if your plans change as soon as possible. Last minute cancelations result in other pet parents unable to use my services, so I cannot wave or adjust for my fee. I appreciate clients understanding! Please note that dogs are not to be taken off property during their stay (Unless veterinary related) is it my main priority that pets are safe and secure in our home and yard. Our yard provides ample space for dogs to run, chase a ball, and play with their buddies. My drop off and pickup times are split between AM and PM. My drop off times range from 8-10AM, and 5-8PM. Times outside of those periods will be charged for a day or half day of daycare. I appreciate owners being as close to a planned time as possible to allot time for myself and other clients. As a full-time dog trainer, I work from home alongside my lead trainer, so there is always someone at home! My commitment to being home means that the dogs receive continuous supervision and attention, enhancing safety and well-being. I enjoy hiking, swimming, and gardening in my small garden. When dogs stay at my home, safety is my top priority. To ensure a secure environment, I implement several measures. 1. Supervised Outside Play: Dogs are only allowed outside under direct supervision. This allows me to monitor their behavior, prevent any potential conflicts, and ensure they stay safe from external hazards. 2. Matching Play Styles: I carefully assess the play styles of each dog and only allow those with similar temperaments to interact. This minimizes the risk of misunderstandings and conflicts, promoting an enjoyable playtime for all dogs. 3. FI Collars. If requested by the pet parent, I use FI collars for safety. These smart collars provide real-time location tracking, ensuring an added layer of security. This technology helps me keep track of each dog’s whereabouts, giving pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are safe. 4. Fence: Our property is 1/3 acre and includes a 6 foot fence. Dogs are carefully monitored and I implement 50 foot long lines if needed for escape artists.
“Sarah was a wonderful house/dog sitter while We were away. She is mature, professional, reliable, and flexible. I felt completely at ease having her stay with my pup. She sent pictures and a little recap of the day each evening which was perfect. Plus, she was easy to communicate with, set up a meet and greet with, and work out a schedule with. She left everything as it was and clean! Luna seemed happy and got lots of love. Thank you Sarah! I will definitely ask for your help in the future :)”
“Tegra was amazing with our quirky doggo. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Tegra provided updates and loved on our pup while we were away for almost two weeks. Upon returning home, we could tell puppers was anxiety free and our home was in excellent order. 1000% would use Tegra again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs between the ages of 1-14 [human years] for many family members and neighbors since I was a teen. I have had two labradors and two golden retrievers throughout my lifetime, and have taken care of breeds ranging from Corgi to Vizsla to German Shepherd. I am very family-oriented, and will take care of your pups like they are my own! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to give lots of love and attention to your canine family members. I am a very active individual, and love to incorporate dogs into my routine to satisfy their energetic hearts and souls! I would love to hear about any particular needs, struggles, or enjoyed habits that your dogs may have. I want them to enjoy our time together as much as I will!!
About: I pet it all of my phones and families dogs whether it’s from short visits to letting the dogs outside to go potty or overnight stays. I have been doing this for over two years now, but it’s been a lot more frequent over the past two years. I have always loved dogs. In fact I have two big dogs one purebred German Shepherd and the other dog is a great Pyrenees mix. I am working with Rover now because I’m trying to be able to afford an apartment for myself and just take care of my basic necessities. I know how well I will want my dogs taken care of if I needed a sitter so I try to provide that same care to my clients! I can usually make any time work as best for you. I don’t have a full-time job. It should be my primary job right now. I can do anything you need me to do. Feeding the dogs, letting them out to go potty, taking them to play, taking them on a walk, etc.
About: From working/volunteering at shelters to pet sitting for friends and family, I have 10+ years of experience caring for furry friends of all ages, personalities, and sizes! Most all of my pet care has been limited to cats and dogs, but I am willing to work with small critters, birds and reptiles with the right care instructions/tutorials. I am not typically squeamish, so I am open to handling clean up and medication - please message me for specifics. As a dog mom myself, I understand that each pet requires different levels of care and attention, and am willing to meet them where they’re at! However, I do not offer training services and might not be the most compatible caretaker for pets that exhibit aggressive behaviors (I am open to discussing). Additionally, I am a full time graduate student, so care in the early morning and evenings will work best for my week day schedule. I will be available some holidays (i.e., Thanksgiving). My availability may also change from time to time, so please be sure to check my profile or message me. Choosing me means your pet will receive quality care, and that all the updates you receive will include cute pics! As a full time student, my weekday availability might mean limited check-ins, but your pet is always the priority! - Monday & Tuesday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 5 PM - Wednesday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 7 PM - Thursday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 5 PM - Friday: 6:00 AM - 8:00 AM; after 3:00 PM - Saturday & Sunday: Flexible! I will need a few hours in the morning and some afternoons to volunteer. For pet sitting, I can provide the following: - Feeding and hydration - Exercise and play - Maintenance and cleaning of pets environment (e.g., litter box, crate, etc.) - Medication administration - Light housekeeping (e.g., bringing mail in, watering plants, taking out trash, etc.) - Text/photo/video updates

About: Just moved back in with my two retired parents. We have a big unfenced yard with a 50ft dog run going from the front porch to a tree. Growing up we’ve always had dogs and I have my own dog in adulthood for 9 years now. But, who can ever get enough dog time in their life, am I right?! I would love the opportunity to walk more dogs either by them selves or with my dog Maggie whom loves meeting new dogs herself and is very friendly. We would also love to dog sit or board, if dog sitting I could bring my dog Maggie along or leave her with my parents if that’s the preference. Having raised a puppy before I am very very patient with dogs and have lots of love for all breeds and temperaments! I am super accomodating to you and your dogs needs so let me know if you have any questions or preferences, I look forforward to meeting all the cute doggos! I work as a server, mostly at night and some Saturday mornings. I also have Thursday and Sundays off. I am available for all services from 6am to 2pm any day and boarding or doggy day care Thursdays and Sundays.

About: I’m a caring, patient, and responsible pet lover who understands that pets are part of the family. I know how important it is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and keep you updated with photos and messages. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and respect I’d want someone to give my own. I maintain a consistent weekly routine and value being dependable and organized. I work full-time during the week, but I plan my time carefully to make sure I can give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m happy to accommodate morning and evening walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and weekend care based on my availability. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to stick to their normal routines and keep owners updated while they’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, dietary needs, and any special instructions before providing care. I’m attentive, patient, and responsible, and I make sure pets are supervised appropriately and kept in a safe environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions carefully. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own.
About: I have had pets all of my life, dogs when I was younger and until I moved up to Milwaukee, and I've had a cat for the last 3 years. I do my best to make sure pets feel cared for and loved. I have spent a lot of time getting my cat Sybil to "sit", "stand up", and "lay down". So I at the very least I have a lot of patience I currently work 9-5 but I work from home on Thursday and Fridays! So I have a pretty flexible schedule to take care of your pets. I make sure to follow your instructions to a T. I will likely not let them out of my sight for the duration of my stay with your pet.
“Wow! What can I say? Margaret exceeded every expectation I had for Uecker’s care today! As a new puppy mom who’s only had him for three weeks, leaving him with someone for the first time was a little nerve-wracking. But Margaret made me feel completely at ease. She didn’t just watch him—she played with him, loved on him, reinforced the commands we’ve been working on, and treated him like he was her own. The best part? Walking through the door and finding Uecker snuggled up right next to her. My heart absolutely melted. It was obvious he felt safe, loved, and completely comfortable. I truly couldn’t be happier with the care Margaret provided. Book her before I do, because with my busy schedule, I’ll definitely be calling her again! Thank you so much, Margaret. Uecker already adores you, and so do I!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grafton
We had a wonderful first experience with Amanda! She watched our dog, Loki, overnight and took excellent care of him. She arrived on time, kept everything clean, communicated with us throughout the stay, and sent plenty of updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we got home, he was happy, relaxed, and it was clear he had been well cared for. We could tell he received lots of attention and affection while we were away. We would absolutely book with Amanda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Grafton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Grafton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Grafton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
