“Super reliable, professional, and clearly cares about the dogs. Communication is always quick, updates are timely, and I always feel confident knowing my dogs are in great hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, cats and dogs. I have experience with all age ranges of pets. I enjoy taking care of mine and my family members pets! I often watch my parents 2 year old energetic boxer mix, as well as 3 cats, one who has heart failure. I also love spending time with my sisters 5 year old mini doxie. I’m comfortable cleaning up messes, cleaning litter boxes and providing basic medical needs. I look forward to meeting the furry important members of your family and providing the best care I can! I have an open availability for Monday-Friday from 6am-3pm. I’m available for longer walks if needed or short in and out trips. I take my parents dog Willie on walks around local parks, he’s a very energetic dog and likes to pull. So I take it one step at a time with him and give him ample time to soak in all the enrichment of the environment around us.
About: I have been around animals my whole life, mostly dogs. I am well-equipped to take care of your pets and make sure they are safe while in my care! I currently work full-time 8-5 Monday through Friday, so I am only available on the weekends right now! However, we can work out something if you need me for the week or longer than that! I am so excited to apart from your pet's care, and to provide you with a stressless time away from them. I will be able to do walks and drops ins throughout the weekdays as well! I will always put the safety of your animals first! I will make sure to know everything about where I walk them and make sure to know how the dog reacts to certain environments and events. Not only that, but I provide photos and updates regularly to keep the stress of being away from them as minimal as possible.
“Overall a great person. Very easy to work with, easy to reach, fast reaponses, punctual... Took care of our dogs by giving them walks while we were on vacation. The pups loved Allison. Thank you for everything!!”
“Kaleyanisa is the best! Sargent instantly fell in love with her. Animals can tell when someone loves animals. When she stopped to meet Sarge, we were giving him some cheese cubes for a treat. So today when she came to walk him she brought some homemade treats that were like a cheez-it, but for dogs. Sarge is a very fussy eater & he loved the snack. Talk about going above & beyond. Kaleyanisa is communicative, responsible & trustworthy….what a quality person! I’m so glad we met her. I trust her 100%!”
“Kayla is the best! She has been coming to walk my dog & play with him for a long time & everything has always been great. Would recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pups!”

About: I've had pets my whole life. It started small with turtles, then graduated to cats and finally dogs. I have experience with many breeds and pets with allergies. I can administer oral medication but don't have experience with injections. I have one dog of my own currently, a Great Dane. I currently work a pretty flexible schedule at my job so dropping early in the morning or later in the evening is no problem at all. I do not provide house sitting in my home, I would come to your house to watch your fur baby where they feel the most comfortable.
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since a child and have feed, played, and walked them. I'm good at reading their body language and adjusting the environment when necessary. I’m available most days, with work only Mondays and Thursdays from 8–5. I schedule pet care around each pet’s routine and needs and what works best for everyone. I follow feeding schedules, respect each pet’s personality, provide plenty of attention, play, exercise, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. I also love getting to know each pet and what they like.
About: My whole life I have been around dogs, I have trained a family members dog, and have been trusted to feed and take care of them. I'm currently working at a part time job, so i will have plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties! Ask me about my availability!! I have been taught from an early age to respect everyone, everyone comes from a different background. That includes animals of all shapes and sizes, animals have a way to make people happy and I love being around them for that reason.
About: I have had huskies and pit bulls as pets over the last few years. so hair does not bother me one bit. i have had large dogs most of my life. I have work experience as a dog bather/groomer assistant as well as experience when working within a kennel bussiness distrbuting food, walking, cleaning kennels, in a vet clinic giving medication, ect. Your pet's safety is my number one priority. I will follow ay procautions or directions given to me for the care of your pet. I live a pretty active life style and if your dog likes to go on runs he/she can be my running partner. i love all animals so if there are others in your home i might end up saying hello to them too. I have pet rat, guinea pigs, rats, leopard gecko, fish, and cats of my own I am well rounded with my animal experience I have very open flexibility with my hours. I am also pretty open on last-minute availability. Currently only working part-time and would love to meet your pets I only offer pet sitting in the client's home because I have pets of my own. But if we plan ahead, we can do overnights.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, with a special appreciation for senior pets and those who need extra patience or consistency. One of the most meaningful experiences I've had was adopting a 12-year-old cat that developed chronic kidney disease (CKD). I cared for her through nearly four years of treatment, managing medications, hydration, appetite, weight, and daily routines until she passed away just shy of her 16th birthday. That experience taught me the importance of careful observation, consistency, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior that can indicate something isn't right. I also have experience caring for a Yorkshire Terrier and understand the unique needs of toy breeds, including their size, energy, and safety considerations. Several family members and friends have larger dogs that I take on walks and care for when they're away. Professionally, my background is in consulting and project management, which has made me highly organized, dependable, and detail-oriented. I follow instructions carefully, communicate proactively, and believe pet owners deserve regular updates and photos so they can enjoy their time away with confidence. My goal is always to care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care while maintaining flexibility. I currently offer overnight house sitting, typically from approximately 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m., when many pets appreciate the comfort of having someone with them overnight. During the day, I may have other work or personal commitments depending on the booking, but I always communicate my schedule in advance so expectations are clear. I strive to keep pets on their normal routines for meals, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and companionship while respecting the schedule that works best for each household. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially seniors or pets with medical needs, and I do my best to minimize disruptions to their daily routine. I am able to pick up your animal and drop them off for an additional fee ($10 / day). When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is maintaining the environment and routines they already know. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, exercise, household rules, and any special care your pet requires. I take time to build trust with each animal, allowing shy or anxious pets to become comfortable at their own pace. Safety is extremely important to me. I pay close attention during walks, keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets for changes in behavior or health, and never hesitate to contact an owner if I have a question or concern. I also treat every home with the same respect I would expect someone to show mine, keeping it clean, secure, and well cared for during your absence. Communication is a key part of my service. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing and can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: (I go by Sera, pronounced like Sarah) - I've had cats all my life (& friends with dogs) - Animals love me and I'm good with kids too -I promise to treat your pets with the best care I'm currently employed and I do have my own vehicle. I can work part time or full time, days and nights. I can care for exotic pets too. I cannot care for pets in my home as I have three cats who haven't had other pets around and don't really like other animals.
“This was my first experience using Rover and I connected with Ashlee inquiring about her services. She was kind enough to meet with me first as I had never had anyone but family care for my dogs. I was thrilled to receive my River cars with pictures and details each day about her visit to care for them. I will be utilizing her services again as I had piece of mind that my babies were well-cared for during our vacation. Thank you Ashlee!”
About: I have been dog sitting/house sitting for 16 years. I love all animals and have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve taken care of up to 3 dogs and 2 cats at once so I’m comfortable with many animals. I enjoy dog walking, great way to burn off their energy or taking them to the dog park if ok with owners. I don’t mind grooming or bathing dogs. I live in an apartment so I can take care of up to 2-3 dogs per day/night. I am very flexible to the type of training per owner, just let me know your preference. I have two cats myself so the dogs would have to be ok with them otherwise there is a separate room I can put them in for the day, nights would not work unfortunately. I’m in school currently for veterinarian and would love a small side job for extra cash. I currently work 1p-8:30p so I would be able to walk/drop in early and mid mornings and late evenings. I don’t work weekends so if you need a getaway I can watch over your babies so you can relax! I have a large yard, not fenced in but have a 200ft zip line leash. I have two extra bedrooms if your pet needs some alone time. My husband and I have one dog who is 7 months and loves to play. I am very comfortable with specific needs for your pets. My goal is to make them comfortable in my home or yours.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Janesville
We booked Brandy to come walk our pup a few days per week for the month of January. The temps were extremely cold on some days, but she still showed up and used her judgement when it came to whether our pup was getting too cold outside or not! She also was flexible when it came to our son getting sick and needing to cancel a few days last minute. Def will continue booking with her.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Janesville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Every walker 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.

- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
