“Noah was awesome. My two dogs Hobbs (Great Dane) and Maverick (German Shepherd) can be a handful and Noah did an amazing job with both of them. Super communicative and caring. 11/10”


“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my fur babies! And for sending randoms pics and videos! I missed them but felt at ease knowing they were in such good hands!”


“Melissa stayed in our home and cared for our two pups while on a last minute trip. She was so caring to our aging pet who is 15 and diabetic while also managing our high energy labradoodle. Melissa has tremendous experience in caring for animals and issuing special medical attention if needed, she gave our pet insulin with every meal and always asked a question to make sure things were just right. We feel pretty blessed to have found Melissa to care for our home and pets while away. She left the house more tidy that when we left and went above and beyond for our family. We are so thankful to have found someone so kind and caring through Rover!”


“We are so happy we found Eleanor on Rover. We needed to find a less traumatic experience than overnight kenneling for our two boys and found our way to Eleanor. She responded very quickly and soon after we had a great meet and greet. The boys LOVED her from the minute she came in. We visited for a long time and decided it was a match. This was an overnight stay while we traveled, which is a first for us, so we were a little nervous. But from the moment she came in, the boys were all over her. We couldn’t have been happier with the attention she rained on them and the updates and photos she sent to us. We were proud dog parents at the company Christmas Party 🎄☺️ When the next event takes us away overnight, Eleanor will be our #1 choice to stay with our boys.”


“Ava was awesome! She came over on a holiday weekend and took great care of our two dogs. Highly recommend!”


“Sarah has been absolutely incredible. Her communication skills are incredible. She is extremely patient and understanding”



“Our first experience with Kaitlyn was awesome! She was very responsive to my messages, and her time with our rescue dog, Kyah, seemed to go very well. She stayed in touch throughout her stay at our house, Kyah was well taken care of, and the house looked as though no one had even been here (other than her taking care of her dishes and bedsheets, which I greatly appreciated). She is a wonderful sitter and we will definitely be using her again.”


“Erin was great! It was our first time having someone watch our dog but Erin quickly put our nerves at ease with a pre visit meet & greet. Communication was thorough and she kept me updated (with photos) of our pet during her stay. Would highly recommend, and would utilize her services again in the future!”


“Macy was AMAZING! She stayed the nights with my dog so he wouldn't get lonely. Kept in contact with me so I knew he was doing great! Also I could tell when I got home how happy he was to have her there. It was perfect!!! Thank you soooo much Macy!”


“Amazing sitter. My fur baby clearly loved her to pieces. I had her housesit for me to keep him company and I received multiple daily updates of how he was doing. Will definitely have her back to watch my mocha again ?”


About: I’ve been around dogs, cats and other pets my whole life. I grew up on a hobby farm and have over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all ages—from kittens and puppies to seniors. I currently have two dogs of my own and know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Since I work from home, I’m able to be flexible and give your pet the attention they deserve, whether that’s regular walks, check-ins, or just some extra company during the day. I’m also a clear communicator and will always keep you in the loop while you're away. Looking forward to getting to know your pet! I work from home, so I am flexible about what time of day I can drop in on your pets. I can also bring my computer and work from your home if needed. Weekend availability varies but I keep my schedule up to date on Rover. I take care of pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment. I'll follow the routine you provide—whether it’s feeding, walks, or medication—and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, double-check doors and gates, and always keep you updated with how things are going. Whether it’s a drop-in, walk, or overnight stay, you can count on reliable care and clear communication.

“Tina did an amazing job! Our dogs loved hanging out with her! It was the first time we had anyone stay overnight with them and she completely put our minds at ease . She’s reliable, trustworthy, very knowledgeable, and loves your animals like her own. She’s prompt (even started early), sent lots of photos, great communication, and she did excellent with our anxious gal. We’ll definitely be in touch, for future visits!”


“Curtis and Alberta were great! They communicated with us throughout the entire stay! We got lots of videos and updates on how all our animals were doing. It was nice to have a weekend away not stressing about it our animals were doing okay. We will definitely be reaching out for future pet sitting gigs and will be recommending them to everyone!”

“Stacey was great and checked in with my little dog every day at our scheduled time. She was even able to accommodate some of my elderly dogs issues which was appreciated. Thanks”


“Absolutely amazing! Have used this app before and will not choose anyone else, took it upon herself to do more than just house house / dog sit!”


“Mickayla was a fabulous dog sitter!! She sent updates throughout the night and I knew my dog was well cared for. I’ll definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”


“Kirra was great! Helped us out with a last minute request for the weekend and sent plenty of photos.”


“Priscilla was fantastic! 100% recommend. I’ve called other sitters from Rover that I wouldn’t recommend, but I would definitely call Priscilla again. She sent tons of pictures and videos, and was very detailed oriented and respectful.”


About: I have owned dogs all my life. I feel all dogs are unique and have traits that make them loveable and special. I treat my pets with the same respect I treat the rest of my family. I enjoy animals and love being around them. I will talk with them, walk them, play fetch and love to pet animals. I exercise regularly so i would walk them daily or more if needed. If in Green Bay i can come home at lunch to take them out for potty break. I have invisible fencing and 1 friendly dogs. I am flexible and allow dogs on furniture . I pay attention to pets and talk and pet them regularly.

Kerstyn L.
“Couldn't say too many good things about Kerstyn! She is thoughtful and patient with not only her pet's but that of others. She has rescued her own two dogs and has so much patience in training and taking care of them, truly never met a pair of dogs more spoiled yet well behaved. When ever I travel I rely on her to watch my cat and take care of him, and I always come back to a healthy and happy kitty! He recently went through a bout of nausea, and has to take medicine for it, and I could trust her to be responsible enough to make sure his medications were received correctly and timely. She's the best!”
