“Katie is amazing!! We have 2 very energetic dogs and she made sure to take them on a good walk and play in the backyard multiple times to get their energy out! Our one dog even had some tummy issues and she made him chicken and rice 🥹 we trust Katie with our pups and will definitely utilize her again!”

“Elizabeth was wonderful with Ollie! He took to her right away. She sent lots of pics which I appreciated! She also took great care of my home. Would highly recommend!!”

About: I've been pet sitting in the Madison area during my entire time in undergrad and pharmacy school. My petting sitting experience has included dogs, cats, and birds. I am comfortable giving medication, both orally and injectable. I never shy away from those that need extra special medical attention and love. I've been fostering mostly dogs the last 6 years. While out in Montana for residency, I foster failed and moved back to Wisconsin with the sweetest lady, Sydney. Now that I am back in Madison and working part-time, I want to fill in my free time with walks, drop-ins, and occasional house-sitting (Sydney will stay home with my partner). My schedule is flexible. Always open to checking my calendar to see if your needed dates/time work! My work schedule varies at this time. I can be adaptable to the pet's routine. I can usually work around whatever the pet's needs are. I try my best to replicate the pet's normal routine as best as I can with the instructions given to me by the owner. Whatever is best for the pet.
“Maddie was an excellent dog sitter to our three dogs, two huskies and a Jack Russell. The pictures sent during our trip helped us feel at ease knowing they felt safe. Plus, her extra effort walking the pack above and beyond was amazing. When we arrived home, they were so relaxed almost like we hadn’t been gone! Even our one dog who is anxious was very quick to settle in like no time had pass. We would recommend Maddie to anyone!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Maureen was wonderful! She accommodated my last-minute request and took great care of my dogs. Excellent communication, lots of great pics - I knew my boys were in great hands. Thank you, Maureen!”


“Scott was our first introduction to Rover. We really appreciated that he could come on short notice to sit with our 22-week old puppy. We loved Scott's relaxed and gentle way with our dog who is so excited to meet someone new, but is still in manners training in how to greet people. Scott quickly picked up on what we were trying to teach and went along with that routine. Scott arrived on the dot of our agreed time and we plan to ask him to come again!”

“I needed a last minute house sitter and luckily Grace was available and so accommodating. She is the sweetest and my 3 month old puppy had such a great time playing with Grace. I would love her to come back and watch my puppy again!”

“Kim was a great pet sitter for our 2 dogs and cat! She was super communicative and responsible. We will definitely book with her again the next time we’re in need of a pet sitter.”

“Annemarie was a WONDERFUL dog sitter for my pup! She was so attentive and kept me informed the entire time, and Laika absolutely adored her. I will definitely be rebooking!”

“Anna did a great job taking care of Sonora. We felt comfortable leaving her in Anna’s care. We had a string of bad sitters prior to Anna, and it was so nice to have peace of mind this time while being out of town. Would definitely book again!!”

“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!”

“We were very pleased with Karina house sitting for us! She asks about specific commands, dietary needs, and preferences of our dog, which was incredibly sweet and thoughtful. She also provides detailed updates and appears to really adore and read pup personalities well. We would highly recommend Karina and will definitely reach out to her again!”

“Samantha was wonderful with our 3 fur babies. Very attentive to their needs and wants. Our 3 even pouted when she left! Highly recommend, she went above and beyond for our babies!”

Heistand pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our second time booking Julia, and she did a great job again! She handled both of our cats really well — our spicy one and our overly affectionate, sneezy one — and managed their very different personalities with no problem. It’s such a relief to know they’re in capable hands while we’re away. Highly recommend!
We can not say enough good things about Raven! Our pets mean so much to us, and finding someone you can fully trust to take care of them the same way you would is a daunting task. Rest assured if you have Raven watch your babies they are in great hands! Our dog has a hard time with new people and he loved her from the very first meeting 💗 she's so kind and attentive and we came home to a clean home and happy pets. You can't ask for more 😊

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!
