“Great communication and gave a lot of helpful tips and advice about our puppy! It’s our first one and she was so knowledgeable and friendly with our Tater:))) thanks so much for everything!!”

“Ryan was great. He stopped by once a day to check on my cat, feed him, and clean the litterbox. And we received a picture of my cat every day. Ryan jumped in at the last-minute request, and we greatly appreciated his timeliness and availability. Thank you, Ryan!”

“Allegra was absolutely wonderful with our two senior dogs! She gave them the extra care and attention they needed, and her beautifully written, detailed report cards gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after — we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”

About: Our kids LOVE dogs, they pretty much live for them. We can't have our own right now, so we want to love on yours while you're away! We've owned our own dogs, and both of the adults grew up taking care of and loving dogs. We're happy to help reinforce any training that you're doing with your pup! We work during the week, but we can spend the weekend giving full-time care to your dog! We are open to watching your pup during the week, but they would be home alone from about 9am-4:30 pm. Just send me a message if you need longer care than the weekend and we can discuss details! We have a fenced backyard with plenty of room for dogs to run and play fetch. We can offer plenty of outside time and bathroom breaks, we're happy to keep your pet on their typical schedule!

“Ashton was 100 % reliable and went above and beyond the scope of her cat care responsibilities! She was very kind, caring, patient, and loving to both of my two cats who have very different personalities (catalities) and dietary needs. Both cats adjusted very well to my being gone and my return due to Ashton's conscientiousness and her modifying the pet care to each cat's individual unique needs. Everything went smoothly while I was away for an extended period of time. I have really appreciated Ashton and this service! Thank you, Ashton! :-)”

About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats through personal pet ownership, animal shelter volunteering, fostering, and pet sitting for friends and family. During my undergraduate years, I spent several years volunteering at animal shelters and fostering animals with a wide range of ages, personalities, and care needs. I've cared for young puppies, kittens, adult cats, senior dogs, and older rescues who were still learning potty-training routines. Through these experiences, I've become comfortable working with shy, nervous, and anxious animals, as well as dogs who need extra patience on walks or tend to pull on the leash. I also have experience with basic puppy training, reinforcing commands, managing potty-training accidents, and caring for multiple pets at once. I'm experienced with administering both oral and injectable medications, and I understand the importance of carefully following each pet's specific care instructions. I grew up caring for my family's pug, who lived to be 15 years old, and I currently have a sweet 4 year old rescue dog. I've also fostered and cared for multiple dogs and cats in my home, so I'm familiar with managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. One of the biggest things fostering has taught me is that every animal is different. Some pets want to play all day, while others prefer quiet company or need a little extra time to warm up. I love getting to know each pet individually and making sure they receive the attention, patience, and affection that works best for them! I'm currently a graduate student at UW-Madison, and one of the best parts of my schedule is that my lab allows me very flexible hours! This gives me plenty of freedom throughout the week to work around your pet's routine and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Since I'm not tied to a traditional 9 to 5 schedule, I can make time for dog walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and overnight house sitting. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, your kitten wants some extra playtime, or your furry friend just needs someone to keep them company while you're away, I'm happy to help! I also have a 4 year old rescue dog of my own, so walks, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with animals are already part of my everyday routine. I'm available most days and am happy to coordinate around your pet's usual schedule. I know how important consistency is for animals, especially those who are younger, older, or a little anxious, and I'll do my best to keep their routine as comfortable and familiar as possible. And of course, I'll always make time for plenty of cuddles, playtime, and pictures of your little fur babies! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! Through my experience volunteering at animal shelters and fostering dogs and cats, I've learned how important it is to be patient, attentive, and respectful of each animal's individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for shy or anxious pets, energetic puppies, senior animals, and pets who may need a little extra attention or reassurance. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care needs. I also have experience administering oral and injectable medications and understand the importance of following the instructions provided for each pet. I live alone with my sweet 4 year old rescue dog, who gets along very well with other animals. I've also cared for multiple cats and dogs in my home before, so I understand the importance of paying attention to each pet's personality, comfort level, and boundaries. I'm mindful of keeping pets secure during walks, being attentive to their behavior, and making sure they feel comfortable in their surroundings. I also treat every client's home with care and respect. Communication is really important to me, so I'm always happy to send regular photos and updates during visits or overnight stays. I want you to be able to relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention while you're away!

“Austin did a great job. Followed cat care instructions perfectly and went above and beyond in keeping things tidy and clean. I highly recommend him.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Lynne! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated while we were away. It was clear our pups were happy and well cared for, which gave us great peace of mind. We would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”

“She’s amazing as always! I feel so at peace knowing that Jacki is taking care of my dog Gimli when I’m away. She provides great updates and consistency.”

“Cloey was such a great sitter for my cat, Gloria! She sent me so many pictures of her each day, and gave me a thorough description of all the fun things they got up to while she was there! I will definitely be reaching out to Cloey again when Gloria needs a sitter!”

About: I've been caring for cats for over three years and have hosted more than 10 cats for overnight boarding and drop-in visits. Cats are my focus, and I've learned that the first few days matter most — a new environment can be genuinely stressful for them, so I never rush the process. I live in a large single-family home with plenty of space. Your cat gets their own quiet room to settle into on arrival, with food, water, litter, and hiding spots all to themselves. Most cats relax within 3–7 days, though every cat is different and I always go at their pace. I also have two resident cats (both 2+ years) and a friendly 2-year-old dog. All three are calm and well-socialized. If you'd like your cat to have company, I can introduce them slowly once your cat is comfortable — many guests end up making friends. If you'd rather your cat stay in their own space for the whole stay, that's completely fine too. It's your call. You'll get photos and videos throughout the stay so you can see how your cat is doing. I'm happy to follow your feeding schedule, litter preferences, and any routines that help your cat feel at home. Just let me know what your cat likes and I'll take it from there. I work from home most days, so I'm around for a good part of the day and can check on cats regularly rather than only at set times. Cats get fresh food and water in the morning, litter scooped at least twice a day, and play or quiet company in the evening when they're most active. For boarding guests, I check on the isolation room several times a day — short, calm visits so your cat gets used to me without feeling crowded. I'm home every evening and overnight, so your cat is never alone for long stretches. For drop-in visits, I'm flexible on timing and can usually fit in morning and evening slots. Just tell me the schedule your cat is used to and I'll match it. In my home: I live in a large single-family house with a fenced yard and no cat access to the outdoors — all windows are screened and doors stay closed, so there's no escape risk. Every boarding guest starts in a private room of their own with food, water, litter, a bed, and places to hide. That separation isn't just for introductions — it also keeps things clean and low-stress if your cat is shy or has never boarded before. I have two resident cats and one dog, all friendly and used to visitors. They never have access to a guest's room unless the owner has asked for gradual introductions and the cat is clearly comfortable. Most cats settle in 3–7 days, and I let each cat set the pace. I ask that boarding cats be up to date on vaccinations and flea prevention, and I keep the vet's number and your emergency contact on hand for the whole stay. I'll let you know right away if anything seems off — appetite, litter box, or behavior. In your home: I follow your routine exactly as you've written it — feeding amounts, medication, litter, and any spots your cat likes to be left alone. I keep doors and windows secured, bring in mail or packages if you'd like, and send photos and a short update after every visit so you know what happened while you were away.

About: My husband and I have a 2 year old Lagotto Romagnolo and before that we had a Bassett hound mix, growing up I always had cats and have helped friends over the years with walking their dogs/short term care for their animals! I work for myself from home and my schedule is extremely flexible making it very easy for me to work with others schedules, especially during the day! We have a large fenced in backyard at our home. We practice positive re-enforcement in our home with our dog and believe whole heartedly in that practice!

About: I have taken care of pets for 10 years now! I have experience with all sizes of dogs and puppies. My family and neighbors have relied on me to make sure their pets are cared for while they’re away. I am a college student so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to taking care of pups in the evenings and between classes on weekdays. I am not available on most weekends. I will treat your pet and home with respect and ensure they are cared for. I think it is very important for pups to be comfortable in their environment.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was in high school. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and groom their pets. I work during the day mostly but I can provide care during the day if needed especially in the evenings, overnight, and on the weekends. I provide a safe environment for your animal to walk, play, and be themselves. I can even help provide structure and training to your animal if needed.

“Matthew was exceptional! Really needed someone to take my dog out multiple times a day for a few days. He was always on time. Really took good care of my dog. Couldn’t be more grateful. It’s so nice to find someone you can trust to take care of your furr baby. Thank you Matthew.”

Rita R.

“I appreciated having Fanny as my first pet sitter experience on Rover so much! She was not only amazing with my cats (one of whom is very hesitant with new people), she also helped me understand the booking on the app and was very flexible when my vacation times changed. Would definitely recommend her for any pet care needs!”

Betsy B.

“Stacey took great care of my two cats and was up for the challenge of taking care of them in the early stages of their introduction to each other. She sent lots of cute photos and helpful updates, and I can tell that she really loves cats.”

Sarah G.

“Thank you so much Paula. You are so great! You went above and beyond for the boys and I cannot express how grateful I am! Thank you for all of the photos you sent, being patient with Bear, and accepting Blueberrys very exciting “hellos”. I hope we can work together again in the future and I know the boys feel the same ❤️ Thank you again for treating the boys like your own ❤️”
