“Angela was amazing and went above and beyond for our pups. I felt comfortable from the moment I met her & she took excellent care of our 2 little dogs for 10 nights in her home during a historic blizzard. She still took them for walks & sent us updates throughout our trip. She was very accommodating with drop off & pick up times & I would absolutely use her again!”

“This was the first time I let someone else watch my dog and was pretty nervous. However, Alison was great and I felt confident leaving my pup with her. She kept him active and gave me the perfect amount of updates. Whenever I need someone to watch him again, I will go right back to her. She is the freaking best. Could not have gone better.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels — from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or administering medications, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I understand how important routine, patience, and positive attention are to your pet’s well-being. I’ve also worked with shy or reactive dogs, and I’m comfortable following any special instructions to make sure your pup feels safe and loved while you’re away. My schedule is currently wide open, so I’m flexible and ready to accommodate your dog’s needs — whether it’s daily walks, last-minute bookings, or ongoing care. I’m available weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Let’s find a time that works best for you and your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always keep dogs on-leash during walks (unless in a secure, off-leash area with your permission), avoid unsafe routes, and stay alert to other animals or hazards. I closely follow your instructions and routines to keep your pet feeling secure and cared for.
“Kristin was amazing with our dog! Her family truly took care of him like he was their own. Our pup got lots of exercise, tons of snuggles and had his own vacation on the farm. Kristin sent us regular updates, so we were able to see how much fun he was having exploring their land. I’d highly recommend her care and will be bringing our dog back in the future!”

About: I’ve owned dogs & cats for over 10 years. I would do anything for my fur babies, just like I would do anything for yours! I’m currently working full time but looking to fill my down time with a walk in the evening or sitting on the weekends! I’m willing to take on any task big or small. I have a fenced in yard and pups to keep yours occupied otherwise I love a drop in to get the energy out while you’re away.
“Teresa has been incredible from helping a fur mom dropping off her baby for the first time to making Riley feel welcomed and loved. I received pictures and updates daily, always keeping me in the loop. She took such great care of Riley, I almost wondered if she would even want to come home.LOL. I will absolutely use Teressa again to watch my baby girl.”

“Bobbi was a fabulous sitter to my dog Duke. She’s caring, responsive and connected with us often while watching Duke. Her yard is a playground for all pups. Truly grateful to have found her! One of my best experiences with Rover!”

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.
About: I have been a dog owner for 6years and a cat owner for 16, I have 2 beagles, age 3 and 6. My oldest gets ear infections often, hes had back problems and had a benine melanoma removed from his head so I understand the extra care some animals may need. I know stubbornness. Iv trained them as puppies and they are great with other dogs or pets. I would do anything to live my dream and care for other pets the way I do. I have so much love and compassion, pets are the people you want to talk to. I lost my cat of 16yrs and it hit me hard, animals are my world. I give all my attention to pets, I am a very observant, fun, loving, adventurous, caring pet owner. I do work a full time job but I'm willing to help out with any pets when im done saturdays, if need me to pick them up to board I will. Anytime of day Sundays and Mondays and I'm free for holidays too! I have a fenced in yard with 2 loving, fun, outgoing,lazy,heartwarming beagles you would ever meet that love company! I will be out watching all dogs who are over. There will be timeout areas if someone gets out of hand. I absolutely love walks! No matter the weather. I love meeting new animals and experiencing the world in their eyes. Your dog will be my dogs friends by the end. I will leave an imprint on your animals life, I want to be the best I can for your pets. Any needs your animal has I got it. I love helping others out and experiencing different places and how other pets lifestyles are.
“Sara was awesome! Got pics and updates and so understanding when our plane was delayed! The dogs had a nice fenced in backyard to play abs got lots of love♥️ We absolutely love her and will use her again.”

“Alex was great! Fantastic communications from the meet and greet through drop off and pick up. He sent photos of our pups almost every day. They were well taken care of and happy when we picked them up!”


About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and treat every dog like my own. I have the most experience with hunting breeds and high-energy dogs, but I’ve also cared for small dogs. Since I miss having my own dogs around every day, caring for others’ pets truly fills that void and is something I genuinely love doing. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I have most nights and weekends available. I’m even willing to bring your dog along with me when possible so they have plenty of company and attention. Daytime availability Monday–Friday between 8am–5pm is more limited, but I’m willing to discuss options for check-ins in the Howard/Suamico area. I make sure each pet is well cared for, comfortable, and given plenty of attention while you’re away. Depending on the dog’s needs and your preferences, that can include walks, playtime outside, backyard exercise, or trips to the dog park if allowed. My goal is to keep them active, happy, and on a routine that feels familiar and stress-free.
About: My partner Jonah and I are huge dog people, eager to take care of your fur baby! We unfortunately are not in a place yet to have our own, so we are using Rover as a way to spend some quality time with dogs in the area. Jonah grew up with dogs and is used to having them around. My family got a puppy named Ember several years ago that I am very familiar with caring for as well. Though we don’t have a dog in the house, we have watched a few dogs here and know it is a safe and welcoming environment for them. Jonah works a flexible job and can be home with the dog during the day, while I work as a teacher and am always home in the evenings and on weekends. Your fur baby will always have the attention and care that they need in our household! We are open to walking dogs, pet sitting, and overnight boarding, all of which we have experience with. We hope you consider using our services! Skye - Available on weekdays after 3:30pm and most weekends all day Jonah — Flexible job where he chooses his hours - can be available most weekdays and weekends So between both of us, someone would always be there to care for your pet(s)! :) We do not have a fenced in yard but are used to taking dogs out on leash. We have a very spacious backyard and park nearby that we love to walk in, as well as a dog park close by. We are very empathetic with animals and approach them where they’re at, since all pets have differing needs and preferences. We like to make your pet feel as home and comfortable as possible while you’re away!
About: I love dogs and am excited to start this new journey. I’ve had a dog for the majority of my life and while I am not in a place to have a dog of my own right now I am happy to help take care of yours I am a nurse working night shift looking to take care of dogs on my days off. My schedule varies week to week but I can be flexible I have a mostly fenced in yard with a decent amount of space for your dog to play in. I live near a park that is great for walks. I am also willing to bathe your dog if necessary.
“She was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! My boys were super happy when I went and saw them and Melissa gave me many updates. She was very kind and very down to earth, would absolutely recommend and will come back if I need someone to watch my dogs again!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have two dogs and three cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple pets, different temperaments, and busy routines. I also work full-time as a nurse, which means I’m highly dependable, detail-oriented, and trained to stay calm in any situation. I’m experienced with administering medications, following specific care instructions, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. Whether your pet needs a reliable walk, drop-in visit, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like my own—safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m currently off for the summer (I work as a school nurse during the year), so I have very open availability for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. During the school year, I still offer consistent morning, evening, and weekend availability, making me a great fit for ongoing or repeat care needs. Your pet will be treated like part of the family in my home! I have a full, happy pack of my own—3 cats and 2 dogs—who all get along wonderfully and love to play. Because of that, I’m very experienced in managing a multi-pet household and making sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and included. My home is stocked with plenty of toys, cozy spots for relaxing, and all the pet supplies needed to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer a quieter space to unwind. You can expect lots of supervised playtime, affection, and a clean, pet-friendly environment. I treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure they get the care, attention, and love they deserve while you’re away.
Howard pet parents share their Rover experiences
I highly recommend Kay and Austin. Oscar has separation anxiety and this was his first time away from home. Kay and Austin made sure Oscar got lots of attention, including play and lap time (which he loves). Kay even put a chair next to her as she worked, since her laptop was occupying her lap and Oscar wanted to be closer to her than the floor. Kay and Austin’s dogs are very gentle and sensed how much Oscar wanted to interact with them. Oscar appears to be calmer from his positive experience away from home.

Shanna is amazing. My dog is very attached to me but when we get to her house he goes right in and loves to play with his friends. She takes great care of him and sends me lots of pictures and updates. We’ve used her for several extended vacations and she always so flexible with our timing and communication. We appreciate her and couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Heather was amazing! They were available with short notice and very flexible with pick up and drop off which was very appreciated as they were watch our dog for our wedding weekend and our timeline changed a bit! Ella had a fantastic time which we saw through photos and video! I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to any of our friends and family.
