About: I’ve been watching dogs and cats since I was young. I love to walk dogs and spend lots of time playing together. I also enjoy caring for cats. I’m very reliable and am a good communicator. I would love to spend more time helping out with pets! I recently moved here and would love to watch some new furry friends. I’m employed part time currently and looking for full time work. I am very respectful of other people’s homes and properties. I am clean, quiet, and will communicate as often as you would like. I love to play with cats and dogs and will give them lots of attention.
About: I’ve always grown up and helped take care of family pets. I had mostly big dogs growing up. There’s no breeds that I’m really scared of or anything like that. I currently have two pets now one is a seven month Alaskan malamute and one is a one year-old domestic short hair. I only work two days a week and my job is pretty flexible so I’ll have really any time to be able to give your dog or cat all the love and attention that they need I will do what the pet parent says to do on guidance for the pet. I have had experience with kennel training lease training all of that if you have a fenced in yard, I’ll it’ll be better.
About: I’ve had pets since childhood, but my greatest experience has come from fostering dogs as a family since 2018. Over the past 8 years, we’ve welcomed more than 50 dogs into our home, each with their own personality, history and needs. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, young adults, breeder-release and puppy-mill dogs, shelter and reservation dogs, and dogs returned to rescue. My experience includes fearful or shut-down dogs, high-energy dogs, separation anxiety, potty and crate training, medications, and medical or post-surgical care. Most of our fosters have been small to medium-sized dogs, with some larger breeds as well. I’ve learned that every dog adjusts differently, and I’m comfortable giving them the time, patience, routine and space they need to feel safe and settle in. Our own 9-year-old Chihuahua, Spotter, was one of our early fosters—we adopted him in 2019! Since then, he’s shared his home our foster dogs. Dogs staying with us aren’t treated like boarders; they become part of our family while they’re here. I work from home most weekdays, so dogs staying with us are rarely alone and naturally become part of my daily routine. They usually hang out with me in my home office, relax on the couch, or find their favorite cozy spot nearby. We have a large, privacy-fenced yard, and I build outdoor time into my day with morning, lunchtime and afternoon breaks, plus plenty of evening yard time. We also enjoy after-dinner walks. About once every five weeks I work in the office. On those days, my husband or son is often home, my husband can come home over lunch for a potty break, and my son is home from school by about 3:00. Because fostering has been part of our family life for years, having another dog in the house already feels like a normal part of our routine—not an interruption to it. Safety and comfort come first in our home. We have a large yard enclosed by a wooden privacy fence, and dogs are supervised outside until I know and trust their habits. Our deck can also be gated off for an additional secure area. Guest dogs live as part of our family rather than being separated into a boarding area. They’re welcome on the couch and furniture and can spend the day with me in my home office. At bedtime, I try to follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible—whether that means sleeping in their crate, on a dog bed, or another comfortable spot. Owners should bring their dog’s crate if they normally use one. Because we have a small senior Chihuahua, Spotter, all guest dogs must be dog-friendly and safe around smaller dogs. A meet-and-greet is an option before first-time guest doggy stays if there is concern. My years of fostering have taught me to watch body language, introduce dogs thoughtfully, and recognize when a dog needs extra space, reassurance or a slower adjustment. I’m also comfortable with medications, puppies, dogs still working on house-training, and dogs who may need extra patience settling into a new environment. Most importantly, I want your dog’s stay to feel as much like home as possible. I’ll follow the routines and instructions you provide and keep you connected with regular photo and message updates.

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.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Knapp commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.
To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
