“Jennifer brought our geriatric dog who needs to use a heavy ramp to get in and out of the car to and from our wedding. She was wonderful, prompt, flexible and navigated our giant venue. Jennifer made everything with Nyla flow so smoothly. I would love to book her again for anything dog related.”
“Nikki is great to work with! She was quick to respond and took care of our three cats so thoughtfully while we were away. I’ll definitely recommend Nikki to anyone looking for trustworthy and reliable support with your four legged family members!”
“Elisabeth was the best. It was so hard being away from the girls this long for the first time ever. But Elisabeth made it easier. She care for my dogs and communicated regularly. I would highly recommend Her to everyone looking for a caring pet sitter!”
“Alysha is the best! This has been a busy out of town season for us as we travel frequently to watch our daughter compete at college swim meets. Alysha has been there for us and we could not be more thankful for her care of Lola while we are away.”
“This was my first River experience and Camille made it an excellent one! I needed late night help over the weekend at the last second and Camille was quick to respond. I truly appreciated her taking time out of her weekend nights to come meet and care for our dog! I appreciated that she sent pictures and gave me updates on how the visits went (although I’m sure that’s part of the Rover process). We will definitely be using her down the road!”
About: I’ve loved animals since I can remember. I am full time online veterinary technician school, white working in a vet clinic. I also work as a veterinary assistant at a vet clinic. I have six pets three rabbits who live in a separate room, two cats, and one dog. I have a big heart for animals in need and animal rights so when possible I try help re-home animals in need of a different environment and a more suitable life. My first priority when watching a pet is making sure all their needs are met and they are as relaxed and comfortable as possible. If they’re happy I’m happy. . . . I currently work full time, 4 10 hour days. I am able to stop in before and after work and if close enough I can stop in during my lunch break. I live in the lower half of a house three bedroom with an unfenced yard. All my pets are friendly, house broken, and my dog is trained.
About: My family and I truly enjoy watching other family’s animals. It allows us to help families not worry about their pets when they are not able to take care of them. I’m a full time teacher, so I have quite a bit of flexibilities during the summer time. I am available to board during the school year as well. I am available after 3:30 to tend to animals during the school year. I have a fenced in back yard and take our own dog for a walk daily. We have one dog, 2 cats, and one hamster. They are all very friendly.
About: We have over 20 collective years of pet caring experience and currently have a 5 year old Bichon, August, that we love to spoil. We adopted our 14 year old poodle, Scrappy, from a local shelter. So, we have plenty of senior dog experience, in case your baby takes medication daily. We understand the concern of leaving your pet at a kennel as we, like many others, have had bad experiences in the past. We just moved into our new home and have plenty of room for your fur baby. Our community is very pet friendly and has a huge dog park where your dog can run around with other dogs, play on the agility course or relax in the shade under one of the many trees. Not only will we take your pooch out regularly, but we will send pictures frequently. We will treat your dog like it's our own! We both look forward to taking care of your dog!
About: I have 15+ years of professional pet care experience through shelter, boarding, dog daycare and rescue experience. I previously managed a large scale, highly awarded facility in Madison. I can offer a vast amount of knowledge to make sure your pet not only has a great time while you are away but also is safe and well card for. I offer walks and drop in visits most days of the week. I currently have week day availability Tuesday - Thursday 2pm or later and any time Friday - Sundays. Walks can be in your own neighborhood, at a nearby trail location of your choosing or off leash at my rural home in our 1.75 acre fenced in yard. (Additional travel fees may apply for locations other than your home.) Your pup will come home tired from not only physical exercise but also from mental stimulation as I will encourage them to use their sniffer and their brain with basic obedience. I also offer a limited amount of Pet Sitting services in customer homes only. I am not able to sleepover in customer homes due to having pets/children of my own but can offer house sitting on a drop in basis and make multiple, extended visits to your home daily at your preferred times. I look forward to meeting your and your pet! I work a part time job Monday - Thursday. Pet sitting clients must be okay with a 7 hour day those days, but other days are much shorter. At our meet and greet we will discuss safety protocols for getting your pet inside and outside safety as well as ensure they have a collar/harness setup that is secure for walks.
“Sandina took good care of our two Weims and communicated very well with us; including pictures. Her multiple drop-in visits were done as expected, and she gave the doggies all the opportunities they needed to "do what they needed to do."”
About: I had pets my whole life, cats and dogs, so I know what they need. Love, cuddles, and attention! I have a beautiful and sassy calico cat who is good with other animals and a sweet Corgi named Georgia who loves making new friends!! I am a grad student at UWM. I live in an apartment but there are amazing walking trails and a dog park close by! You’re dogs will have lots of room to play!! Dogs will go with me on walks every night and played with to get all the zoomies out! Cats will get lots of cuddles and pets while I spend my evenings at home. Either dog or cat will be well taken care of! My pets have always been well taken care of. They are fed, cuddled, clean, and given all the love. In my home you can promise your pet will be on their own vacation while you are on yours! If sitting at your house is preferred, have peace of mind knowing your pet will be let out every morning and evening, be walked, and given plenty of playtime in the evening!
About: Any pet is like a family member and best friend. I full-heartedly believe this! Providing the best care for your pet is so important. I aim to provide the best care possible and bring happiness to your pet's life! I am currently enrolled at Madison Area Technical College for Criminal Justice. I am lucky enough to have online classes, so I can schedule my days around them! I have always been passionate about taking care of animals, and when I heard about this job opportunity, I could not pass it up! I will care for your pet in your home like it was my own, ensuring it is safe and your home is looked after. I am very honest and trustworthy. I will always aim to provide the best care to your pets.
“Carole was wonderful and accommodated a last minute request. She came when she said she would and didn’t just let the dog out, she spent time with him (and his furry kitty brother). We will gladly use Carole again and so appreciate this service!”
“Maggie is very responsive, friendly, and compassionate about animals. She took great care of my babies, and made this dog Mom feel at ease leaving my new puppy for a couple of hours. Highly recommend Maggie :).”

Lizet S.
“Wonderful visit from Lizet. I would recommend if you need drop in care.”
Julie G.
“Julie is a very kindhearted, animal loving, active person who would take wonderful care of your fur baby. I have known Julie for many years and she volunteers to help people in need whenever she can. I trust her wholeheartedly with my three kitties. Her only reason for becoming a pet caregiver is to help people in need, who find it difficult to travel or be away due to worry for their pets. Your pet would be in good hands with Julie.”
Stephanie S.
“Stephanie was wonderful to work with, even navigating my ever changing schedule, last minute adjustments as to what days to let the dogs out.”
Sergio & Shannon D.
“Shannon and Sergio have the time, energy and love to share with your pet. Caring for dogs has always been a common passion they share. They currently have two fur babies of their own, including a senior dog they recently adopted. They diligently love and care for their dog’s health and well-being, which makes them the perfect candidates as dog sitters for Rover.com. I know they will treat and care for every dog as if they were their own.”
Robin B.
“Robin has a great deal of dog experience and is a very kind, responsible, and conscientious person. She worked at the Humane Society for several years, and then at a large doggie day care and boarding facility. She has fostered many dogs and puppies for Paddy’s Paws, which is an excellent dog rescue organization. Robin is very knowledgeable about dog psychology and health and she treats every dog with compassion and respect. She is one of the very few people I would trust to care for my own dogs and I give her the highest recommendation.”
Tori A.
“Tori was great! She sent check in and out times and pictures of my dog after each visit. This provided piece of mind. I highly recommend Tori!”

Morgan H.
“Morgan watched my dog whenever my family and I would go on vacations. She started watching Bailey (our golden lab) when she was in high school and continued on for many years. Once Bailey passed and we got Thor (a black lab), she continued on and watch Thor. We would vacation about 2 times a year and Morgan was always available. Bailey and Thor were always walked, let out, feed, and happy.”
Rylie D.
“Rylie is amazing with all animals. She truly loves animals and it shows by how loving and responsible she is when taking care of them. Rylie has cared for my animals including dogs and cats for years. I am always comfortable leaving my animals knowing Rylie is caring for them. She has been great letting them out while I am at work and staying at the house when I am away for the weekend or on vacations. I don't know what I would do without her. I would definitely recommend Rylie.”
