“Natalia did an amazing job with my fur babies. She gave them much needed love and attention they needed. I am so happy to know my babies were loved and taken care of us when we were away”


“Rhonda was fantastic! We needed a cat sitter on short notice and turned to the Rover app for the first time—so glad we found her. She responded quickly and was happy to help. We met beforehand and she was so friendly and easy to talk to. While we were away, she kept in great contact, sent us adorable pictures, and clearly took wonderful care of our cat, Q. He warmed up to her and trusts her, which says a lot! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book her again.”


About: I grew up with springer spaniels in our home and understand that each breed has different needs. I adore dogs and would always make sure yours is safe and cared for. I work full time but can manage a fur baby walk or a check in before work and after work! Being flexible whenever on the weekends can work too. Pups have always been part of my life and I will care for them in the best way possible. Lots of love and attention for the furry friends.

“Cecilia was absolutely great! She communicated well and asked about the dogs habits and needs before she went to visit so she knew about any special needs. She also sent a ton of pictures which was very much appreciated. I live that she spent so much time with our pets and made sure they weren't lonely or bored.”


“Beth was wonderful to work with! She took care of our two cats and kept everything clean and tidy while we were gone for a month. We couldn’t be happier with how well everything went. She checked in with us throughout the month and she was always quick to respond. She is also very personable and caring. It was easy to relax on vacation knowing our cats were well taken care of. We highly recommend Beth for taking care of your animals!”


About: I’ve had three dogs in my life, and two currently, so I’ve been around pets since I was little. I have experience dog sitting, walking, playing, and taking care of basic needs. I love to take long walks so getting dogs their exercise in will be a perfect addition to my weekends! I work a full time job, so while I am open to check ins or dog walking after I get home for the day, I will mainly be available on the weekends. I treat other people’s pets like my own, and will follow any instructions left for me very carefully. I want to make sure the pet feels safe and comfortable around me, and love to bond with them by playing, cuddling, and sticking to their routines.

“We hired Maya to give our dogs a potty break while my husband and I were out for the day, and she was absolutely wonderful! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pups weren’t stuck inside all day. Maya was prompt, reliable, and kind. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring with your pets.”


“Alyssa was so great with communication and sending us photos and documentation of her visits with our dog! We are super grateful for her care and will absolutely be booking her again in the future”


About: Until college, I had never lived in a home without a dog. And from a young age, I was taught everything I need to know about caring for them. Between my parents, we currently have five dogs, a cat, and four guinea pigs. My siblings and I have been working hard for years to care for our fur-babies, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I work every weekday from 7am to 5pm, so I can’t work on weekdays, but I am completely free on weekends to care for your pup! During weekdays, my work schedule limits my communication, which is why I offer same day booking and cancellation for the weekends! I can’t imagine a better way to spend my Saturday and Sunday! Back home, I care for all five dogs differently, based on their breed and personality. Our oldest mutt needs constant brushing, our golden retriever needs weekly shaving, our terrier needs to be leashed when outside, our labrador needs her thunder shirt for storms, and our chihuahua needs training to be friendlier to guests. I am prepared for all kinds of pups!

About: I provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and those with special diets or medications. I'm also great with shy or anxious pets and enjoy building trust with them. Caring after pets fits perfectly with my usual schedule. I'm free on weeknights and completely available from Friday through the weekend, making weekend getaways easy to plan! When I care for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I give them plenty of attention, playtime, and love, just like you would. I also keep everything clean and make sure they’re well-fed, exercised, and happy while you're away.

About: I’ve fostered dogs since I was in fourth grade, sometimes multiple at a time. Varying in size and age, sometimes cats as well as dogs. I am currently a junior at UWL and work an on campus job. I am going to school full time and my job does block off some of my time but I am willing to work my schedule around the fur babies. I live in the dorms so I will not be able to take the dogs into my home but I can easily take care of them in your home and easily crate if necessary. They will be provided with plenty of love and attention.

“Bella was so wonderful! She came and kept Boone company while we were at a wedding in town. We felt safe and comfortable with our dog in her care. It was nice that she sent pictures and updates too! Thank you again Bella!”


“Emma is absolutely wonderful with my dogs and they loved her. She communicated with us as needed and to provide updates and even sent pictures. I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. 10/10 recommend!”


About: I have helped raise both of our families dogs (American water spaniels) from puppy to adult age, mainly taking them on walks and teaching them tons of fun tricks. I have also house sat for various family friends to watch their dogs as they are away on vacation (one house with two golden retrievers and another house with a bosten terroir) I am a student at UW- La Crosse, so I would be able to walk your dogs either between classes or after classes as a fun study break! I love taking pets on walks/runs to get their energy out. If I am house sitting I like to stay in the areas where they like to be so that feel as comfortable as possible with their owners away while also making sure they have ample amounts of water through the day!

About: Why I’m the Student Sitter You and Your Dog Can Count On Hi, I’m Addie, a college sophomore with a lifelong love of dogs and a track record of showing up when it matters. I’ve lived with and cared for a variety of breeds, so I’m comfortable meeting your dog’s unique needs. Reliability you can set your watch by. Quick bonds, low stress. Dogs warm up fast because I speak their language—patient introductions, play at their pace, and plenty of positive reinforcement. Clean, organized care. I keep my space tidy and leave your home exactly as I found it—often cleaner. Flexible schedule. Safety first. I follow leash rules, monitor weather conditions, and send photo updates so you’re always in the loop. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats reliability and responsibility as non-negotiables—and treats your dog like family—let’s chat! I am flexible and available as I am a college student. I can work around your schedule depending on the time of year. Let's chat! Clean, organized care. I keep my space tidy and leave your home exactly as I found it—often cleaner. Flexible schedule. Safety first. I follow leash rules, monitor weather conditions, and send photo updates so you’re always in the loop.

About: I have four young rescue kitty boys at home who love kitty company! Willy has been with me the longest, going on his third year, while Bob Barker has been here for two, Killian for one, and Geffie Many-Toes (polydactyl) since January, after my sweet old boy, Guy, passed. I have been a companion for cats for the past 15 years, have lived happily with dogs and guinea pigs at various times in my life, have goldfish, and have helped to raise game fowl. I also volunteer at the Coulee Region Humane Society in their Wildlife Rehabilitation program, where I feed wild baby and adult animals of all kinds. I am calm around animals, which has helped me to befriend cats, dogs, and crows alike. I have cared for senior cats, including palliative care for two dying kitties of my own, including administering intravenous fluids and liquid and pill-form meds. My boys will not let me trim their nails, though! Whether it's a cat, dog, guinea pig, or fish, I will treat your pets like my own. If you board cats with me, I will follow your usual feeding schedule if it works with my full-time job schedule, which requires me to be on site approximately 6 hours a day M-F. The rest of time, I work from home. I usually feed my boys twice a day, morning and evening, and clean their litter boxes and refill waters once a day, unless the boxes need more attention. If you board with me, I have a guest bedroom that I use for my guest kitties. If they are used to being with other cats and are staying for several days, I will trial introductions to my boys (if you want this experience) after a couple days of segregation. This room has its own litter box and water, windows to sit it, a closet to hide in, and a bed to lay on. This also allows for cats who are free-fed to have their food available without my boys eating it all, or for me to feed your cats their own food, away from my boys. If your cat's stay is confined to the guest room, I will spend a couple hours at day, at least, giving your fur baby some attention with rubs and playtime. If you hire me for drop-ins for cats, dogs, or other animals, I will set up a time to meet your fur family and introduce myself to see if we are a good fit. I will follow your instructions for feeding, toileting, play, exercise, and other pet necessities. This includes pets and playtime, walks, and play. Depending on how many times per day you want me to stop by and how much attention your pet requires, I will dedicate at least an hour (unless you pet prefers less!) per visit. If your pet needs more time, I will work that in.

She has always had dogs in her family and she is constantly playing with them in her back yard and taking them for walks. I have 2 elderly dogs and 2 younger large dogs. Ella is top notch with all the ages and requirements of my dogs. One is on a special diet and she makes sure that particular dog gets special attention when doing the feedings.

Kendra S.
“My name is Julie Schmitt, and I am Kendra's Mom. I vouch for my daughter in that she is responsible, punctual, caring, and is a very capable young individual who would make a great asset as your dog caretaker. Our family has had dogs for several years. Throughout this time, Kendra has played a key role in the training and caring of our dogs. She simply enjoys spending time with them - walks, jogs, hikes, or just hanging out. She is observant, knows when they aren't feeling well in addition to having the patience to teach them fun party tricks. Kendra has experience in both small and larger breeds, and has house sat for people who were on extended family vacations. I have no doubt Kendra would take great care of your dog, giving them the attention they need. I would defiantly recommend Kendra for your dog needs - dog walker or house sitting, she would be a great asset.”

“Rebekah is a gentle and compassionate caregiver for her four furry life companions Willy, Bob, Killian and Gef. She has also cared for my two good furry friends Blackie and Dash.

She has been a good friend of mine for a very long time and has always been compassionate towards the companions we all love so much.”
