About: WE'VE MOVED! Same great care, new location featuring a larger home and more land to play :) We are an active family with 3 children (and one on the way) who love to play outside, take long walks, and even run with our dog. Animals are well-loved in our home and welcome on the furniture. I would love to include your pet in any exercise needs as well! We are available for walking pets before 8 am and after 4:30 p.m. every day. I can also do mid-day drop-ins if located in the Wausau area (best if northeast side of Wausau as I work in the Industrial park or near Merrill since my husband works there). We have a 3500+ sq foot house and 10 wooded acres, so there is plenty of room for more pets to house overnight. My kids absolutely love playing ball and walking the dog, too! We have an energetic black lab who loves to play. I believe in being active and playing as much as possible with my family (but am totally ok watching dogs who love to nap :) ).
“Nicole R. took amazing care of our Bailey. She provided photos each and every visit. With Bailey being an older dog and needing more drop ins Nicole was very reliable and dependable!”
“Julia was great! She did a meet a greet to go over everything and let her out in the time frame I asked for, she even turned on a puppy show for emma while I was away at work. Very nice lady! Would book her again.”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was very young. I’ve watched friends pets when they go out of town and I currently have my own cats and a dog! I’m currently only working part time and from home, so I will have plenty of time to spoil your pups with all the love and attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard! I also have a friendly pup that would love to keep yours company and play and walk with! <3

In my previous years, I’ve owned a hobby farm with various types of animals, such as ducks, geese, three dogs, one cat, two bunnies and chickens as well as some birds! Currently, I just own one dog named “Bean”. She is my entire world and my best friend. I understand the importance of the little details when it comes to drop in visits and dog walking. I can communicate well on each visit and I take pride in my level of care towards anyone’s animal 🩷 In my daily routine, I would care for a diverse group of animals, including a beloved tortoise and cat, as well as ducks, geese, goats and a hedgehog!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and ferrets since I was very young. I’m a civil engineer, but I love spending time with and taking care of animals more than anything! I take care of my friends’ and family’s pets all the time! I have a husky mix named Nirvana and a cat named Murphy. My english springer spaniel, Bowie, passed away last year from cancer. I’m experienced with walking dogs that are very strong and pull hard so you don’t have to worry about that being an issue! I’d be honored to be chosen to take care of your pet; I know how much my pets mean to me and I’ll make sure to take care of your pets as if they were my own! I currently don’t have a job, so I’m available to help take care of your pets whenever needed! I’m fine with early morning or late night care, and I can stop by as many times as needed! I’m willing and able to do anything for your pets at your home! My dog is slightly reactive so unfortunately I won’t be able to provide services at my own home.
About: Hello! My name is Ella, and I recently moved back to Wausau after graduating from college in Montana. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Natural Horsemanship, a horse-training method focused on understanding animal behavior and building a relationship based on communication and trust. My degree also included coursework in animal health, animal husbandry, and classes taught by both large- and small-animal veterinarians. My Fiancé, Cooper, also earned a degree in Natural Horsemanship with a minor in ranch management. Like me, he has spent much of his life around animals and is comfortable caring for a variety of pets and following specific care instructions. I grew up on a hobby farm and have had horses nearly my entire life. Dogs have always been part of the family, too—we’ve had everything from Labs and bird dogs to little Jack Russells! I currently have an energetic Blue Heeler who loves joining me on horseback rides and hikes. I’ve also grown up caring for a wide variety of animals, including parrots, dogs, cats, horses, fish, and even a squirrel! This experience has taught me that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I started my own dog-sitting business in high school and continued pet sitting throughout college in Montana. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and fish, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. I am also comfortable administering medications and providing specialized care when needed. Just let me know what your pet needs, and I’ll do my best to make it happen! My goal isn’t just to make sure your pet is fed and cared for—it’s to make sure they are happy, comfortable, safe, and enjoying their time while you’re away. I want you to be able to relax and enjoy your weekend or vacation knowing your animals are in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) family members! I work part time and on my own schedule - I run a small horse training and lesson program from home. I can easily fit pet care in throughout my daily routine and am very flexible. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual needs while treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own. Before each booking, I like to learn about your pet’s normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. I follow those routines as closely as possible so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you’re away. I am attentive to safety and make sure doors, gates, crates, and other areas are secure, and I’m careful to follow any instructions regarding your pet’s access to the home or yard. I’m also comfortable administering medications and providing additional care when needed. I want you to feel completely comfortable while you’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
“Thank you so much for taking care of my Othello! I could tell he had been well cared for when we came home. I also appreciated the additional photos and the fact that he let you pet him means he must have really trusted you! I hope to be able to book again with you!”
“Becky is absolutely superb with our dogs!!!! We are so lucky to have her as part of our doggie care! Our dogs are very happy with her. And we feel confident they are getting top quality care.”
About: I'm a long term pet owner with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently own a 16 year old dog and two cats. I also have experience caring for large dogs and birds. I'd love to be able to take care of your pets and show them all the care and attention they deserve. I'm free to care for pets on weekends and during the week. I am currently retired and able to provide services both in your home and alternatively, board in my home. I own my own home in the country which includes a large backyard on a quiet road. I provide minimum daily walks for dogs and am happy to do more upon request.
About: I’ve had two dogs growing up, a mini boxer and a French bulldog. I’ve cared for them all my life. I have bathed, walked, fed, and gave them so much love. We got our Puppy when I was 14, so I have a lot of experience caring for puppies as well. I didn’t grow up in a home with cats, but I love them too. I’ve had lots of experience cat sitting and get along with them well too! I am a masters student at UW-Stevens Point, in the Natural Resources department. I will not be able to provide services mid day Fridays or Mondays, but I am flexible the rest of the week! I will always follow your directions and keep a good baseline of contact with you! I am not allowed to board pets in my apartment, but I will always be respectful of your space as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
