About: What sets me apart is both my personal and professional experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently work at Dogtopia, where I care for and supervise dogs daily. This has helped me become patient, attentive, and comfortable working with different temperaments and energy levels. I also have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. My senior dog, Otis, had arthritis, so I learned how important patience, comfort, and attentive care are for older pets. I also helped raise and train our pug puppy with basic training, routines, and socialization. Because of these experiences, I understand that every pet has different needs depending on their age and personality, and I always try to make pets feel safe, active, and cared for like they’re my own.⭐️😊 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work at Dogtopia, where I help maintain a safe, clean, and fun environment for dogs of all sizes and personalities. 🐾 My job has taught me the importance of paying close attention to dogs’ behavior, safety, and overall well-being throughout the day. When I’m home, I also spend a lot of time caring for my own dog. I enjoy taking him on long walks by the lake, staying active with him through runs and playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care every day.🦮🏃‍♀️❤️ When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I make sure the environment is clean and secure by checking doors, gates, food, and anything that could be unsafe or easily gotten into by curious pets.🤗 I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and individual needs to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while their owner is away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I always try to make pets feel safe, cared for, and at home.

“We had a great experience with Travis, and will absolutely book with him again. He was responsive, easy to communicate with, and kept us updated while we were away. Our dogs were happy, healthy, and well cared for when we returned, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“This was our first time using Rover for our 2 frenchies and Melanie was so awesome!! She asked clarifying questions when she wasn’t sure about something, sent the cutest pictures and provided detailed updates after every visit. Normally I feel guilty leaving the dogs home when we travel but they looked very happy and with her updates I knew they were being well taken care of. We will definitely be using rover and Melanie’s help again in the future!❤️”

“Kristine was awesome with my cat Winnie. She can get scared with new faces but Kristine was kind and gentle with her. 10/10 would book with her again!”

About: I have two kitties at home that are my babies, I understand how difficult it can be to find a trustworthy caretaker. I am reliable and will treat your pets with the utmost care and respect! I currently work full time on a rotating 2-2-3 schedule so I have flexible weekday and weekend availability in the early morning, afternoons, and evenings. At home, I care for my two cats, I know how important it is to keep exit doors shut, keep harmful foods out of reach, and stick to a strict routine. I bring that exact same high level of alertness and respect into your home during drop-in visits. When we are out on walks, your pets will have my full, undivided attention. You can trust that I will strictly follow all of your specific instructions regarding locking up your house, leashing, commands, and food allergies to ensure your pet is safe.

“Amazing job! Definitely would recommend. Took great care of my animals and even went above and beyond and cleaned up after them.”

“Jenna is always so patient with our pup, and always helps by following through on our pup’s training goals while taking care of her. We are constantly grateful to have her as our sitter!”

Katie C.

“Lily is wonderful! She is so accommodating and truly cares for our pups even though they can be a tad difficult! We truly appreciate her and the care she has when she watches or checks-in on our pups!”

About: I love all pets, big and small! I’ve pet sat for family and friends (from puppies to tripod cats) over the last few years. I don’t have any pets of my own so I always enjoy meeting new dogs/cats :) I work 9-5 (mon-friday) and typically work from home once a week. I’m available when I wfh, weeknights and weekends! Would love to use some of my free time to take care of your pets. For overnight stays, I’m available to stay at your house. I know every pet has their own personality, routine and quirks - I do my best to stick to what makes them feel comfortable. I’ll follow your care instructions and treat your pet the way I’d want someone to treat my own. Whether that’s a long walk, trip to the park, pup cup or being a house hippo, I’m happy to accommodate.

“Abby was very friendly upon our meet and greet and took great care of our kitties while we were away. She sent updated photos of every visit of clean litter boxes and fresh water bowls and food.”

Alex H.

“We’ve never used rover or left our Rottweiler alone, so we were very nervous at first, but Allison could not have been any better! She updated us every day and took amazing care of Bowser. We highly recommend her and will be rebooking her in the future :)”

About: I have been taking care of pets of all kinds for friends and family since a very young age. My parents' friends and coworkers use me as their go-to for pet sitting, and I am honored that they trust me to take care of their precious family members. I have walked dogs of all kinds, and I have house-sat for families with dogs, cats, and everything in between. I also spent my high school years volunteering at the local animal shelter, so I would like to say I've seen it all! I actually recently graduated from Marquette University and I am working full time now. I can totally spend all day with your pet on the weekends, but during the week my time is more limited. If you have a pet that needs frequent potty breaks I may not be the right fit for you during the work week. I am happy to discuss if you have any questions! I am not able to bring your pet to my own home, but I am happy to come to you for your needs. I promise full respect for you, your pet, and your property, and I will care for your pet exactly as you tell me to. I would be happy to take your pet for a short walk around the block, a long trek, or even take them for a trip to the park.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats in my life for my whole life. I have experience taking care of animals of all ages from young to geriatric. I’ve been entrusted to babysit animals in many different houses. I chose to be a zookeeper as a profession and now train and take care of animals for a living. I’m really passionate about animal care and would love to help take care of yours! I work as a zookeeper, and my schedule changes each week. I am flexible with having some weekdays off and sometimes whole weekends. I’m flexible with early mornings or evenings as well! I don’t have any pets currently, so your pet would be the only one in my household while I watch them. I am also comfortable coming to your home to take care of any pets as well. They will have my full attention! I love being active in whatever way your pet needs, whether that is taking them outside for exercise or giving them some fun enrichment! I’ve dedicated my whole life to animal care.

“Jessica took great care of my cat! It was clear from the daily cards that my cat warmed up to her quickly, and they spent good quality time snuggling and playing together.”

Justin C.

“Berenice was consistent and kept my cats from guessing at what time they will eat and get some cuddles. I appreciate this because they do not like change. She communicated via Rover only which was a bit hard because of where we were so next time I will insist on getting texts instead if possible. She was also very responsive when I asked her to do something.”

About: Taking care of dogs is something I have enjoyed for much of my life, even a malanois can’t resist my affection! I’m very excited to have fun with your fur baby! I am currently working part time so my availability is open to help you and your lovely pet! I am able to easily balance your pet care with my own schedule. Figuring out your pets needs is crucial, then building a good routine around play, rest and bathroom breaks. Building a good routine is very important for me to develop a good relationship with your friend!

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 8 years old and have loved taken on the responsibilities. I also have experience taking care of friends' and family's variety of pets. I currently have my own 1 year old Australian Shepherd who has taught me so much about raising and training a dog. I will give your pets the attention, time, and patience that they deserve. I currently work remotely so I am very flexible with providing pet care and ensuring that your pets get quality time! I love spending time walking, playing fetch, or exercising with my dog everyday and would love to do the same with yours. I am always thoughtful of a pet's needs and am respectful of their space. I practice good spatial awareness with my own high energy dog and understand how important it is to properly monitor a pet's behavior. I currently have availability at any time of day throughout the week. For my own pets, I ensure that they are properly fed and watered throughout the day. All of them have designated time to play each day and are groomed regularly. I will give this same attention to care to any animal I watch and am responsible for. While house sitting or dropping, I follow instructions given to me as best I can and I respect you and your pets' space. Whatever is best for you, I will accommodate!

“I’m so happy to have found Kayla! She immediately put me at ease about leaving my cats in her care. I am already booked with her again next week! Highly recommend ?”
