“Appreciate Jolie's diligent care for my buddies while I was away. Communicated well and tended to each of my dogs specific needs. Would be happy to have her back the next time I need a sitter.”


“We had last minute plans and Katie came to our rescue! One of our dogs just had a minor surgery and one was full of energy - and both were well taken care of during our day trip. Thank you!!”


“I am incredibly grateful to Alexandria for watching my dog, Topi. She is not only kind and pleasant, but she genuinely cares for Topi’s well-being. Alexandria went above and beyond to ensure Topi was happy and comfortable. Her attentive and loving nature truly sets her apart. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”


“Natalee was phenomenal with Remora! Consistent updates, cute pics of my cat, and very reliable with scheduling and coordination. Natalee took great notes to make sure Remora was cared for the best as could be. Thank you!!”



“Megan stayed at our house for 6 nights while we were out of state. She was extremely communicative, sent lots of photo updates, even brought over her parents Aussie for a playdate (with my permission of course)! Bonus, she even groomed Oakley! We came back to a clean house and happy dog. Would highly recommend Megan.”


“Tessa is amazing, definitely recommend her for your sweet pups! She shows genuine care for dogs. Tessa watched our dog while she’s recovering from a partial ACL tear and we felt so comfortable with her ability to administer her meds and follow her activity restrictions. Tessa gave our busy border collie the exercise she needs through runs and playing in the yard! We got lots of pictures and updates throughout. Overall, totally recommend Tessa!”


“Salem took fantastic care of our dog while we were gone. They sent us regular photos and updates and my dog looked like she was having a great time. Our house was in great shape, too!”


“Travis is truly remarkable! We arranged a meet and greet where he invested time in getting to know our dog. He made sure to understand Remy's needs and ensured a perfect match. Travis went above and beyond by agreeing to house and Dog sit for 8 days. During his stay, Remy not only had the pleasure of regular walks but also relished the companionship at home. It's evident that Travis provided a level of care that exceeded our expectations. Our home was left in pristine condition, and to top it off, our neighbors were quick to compliment Travis on his friendly demeanor. Remy, our Husky German Shepherd Rescue, is eagerly anticipating his next stay with Travis. It's heartening to see such a positive connection between them. Travis has proven to be more than just a sitter; he's become a trusted companion for Remy. We're grateful to have found such a reliable and caring individual for our beloved pet.”



“Leah was great with my 2 dogs and 2 kitties. They liked her and wanted to nap on her and play with her. She sent a couple pictures while we were gone which is nice for my kids to see. The house was neat and tidy when we got home, which I love, as I left it that way.”


“Coral was excellent! She was communicative and reliable, and sent lots of pictures. Oatmeal seemed to really like her almost immediately, based on how cuddly she looked in pictures. This was our first time leaving the cat with a sitter and Coral was a great choice.”


“Samantha is a very good worker. She is very responsable and she is always on time. She took care of Rokko very well and Rokko was very happy since the first moment. We appreciated her work very much.”


“Vanessa is a great cat sitter! She gives my cats plenty or playtime and petting. She sent pictures of the cats to me everyday while I was on vacation with a report on how they were doing. Totally gave me peace of mind while I was away and allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying about my cats. :)”


“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.”


“Joshua was fantastic from the start! He took such great care of Millie & Hope and provided daily updates. The house was spotless after a week of being gone & the dogs were very happy!! Would certainly recommend Joshua and will definitely use him again 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!”


“Annmarie has watched Winston for us multiple times now. She really goes above and beyond to make sure our boy is well taken care of! Our pup is not an easy dog, and requires multiple attempts at walks and potty breaks. She's patient and caring with him - making sure all his needs are met while we're away! Not only does she take great care of Winston, she goes above and beyond to keep us updated while we're away. We're so grateful to have found such a wonderful pet sitter.”



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.

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.

Heistand pet parents share their Rover experiences
Payton was the dream pet sitter! She was extremely communicative, easy to work with, professional, attentive, and took amazing care of our pets. It's easy to be nervous when inviting a stranger into your home to take care of your pets, but Payton was so approachable and easy to work with from the beginning. We got photos every single day, as well as regular text updates. She even did some chores around the house such as taking our garbage bins in and some general tidying! Our pets loved her and were very well cared for.

Lynelle was fantastic house sitting our dog Maeve! She sent us some glamour shot pictures of her doing puzzles and on a walk, showing that she was doing okay in the process. She gave timely updates and made sure we were in the loop on everything that happened during the day. Maeve took to Lynelle extremely well, we’d be happy to repeat again!

Cynthia did an amazing job with my dog, Hachi. He has never been away from me in 5.5 years and is very attached to me. Cynthia spent the night at my house and Hachi was relaxed, ate, took his meds and went upstairs to bed. He was also willing to walk with her (which is rare) I was updated with texts, photo and a video throughout the 24 hours period. I am so grateful to have found Cynthia. I was beyond amazed at how well Hachi did! Thank you!
