“Julia has been a huge help for me whenever I am out of town! She always takes great care of my cat Bella and is sure to send pictures and a note. I feel confident that my cat is in good hands with Julia. Would definitely recommend her!”


“Tracy was absolutely delightful! During our initial visit she was very thorough - taking notes on personality and play habits along with the basics of care. By the end of the visit I felt like we were old friends. I loved the videos of our cats. They're skittish and seemed much more at ease with her than I expected for the first time having her watch them. I very much look forward to working with her in the future! Thank you Tracy!! 💖”


“So grateful to have Kelly so close by to stop every day while I was gone to Florida for a week. I came back to a delightful and un-stressed kitty - while my Harry was stuck like glue to me for a few days, I could see that he’d gotten plenty of attention from Kelly. Will make use of her services again!”


“I highly recommend Kelly! She is super nice and very punctual. She sends pictures of my cats and they have definitely been more affectionate towards her and grown to like her a lot!”


“Kayla was awesome sauce once again! I requested her to take care of kitty on short notice and she came through. We appreciated her flexibility and the quality care she provided for Mila. I can tell she has got love for her, and that brings peace of mind😻. She also followed all my instructions and that was super helpful when I got home. Thanks for your A+ service Kayla, we will keep in contact… especially for our next vacation👍😎”


“Jenny is an exceptional pet sitter who went above and beyond in caring for my cat, Louie. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals was evident from the moment she started. She sent updates with photos of Louie, showing him looking happy and content. Not only did Jenny follow Louie's feeding schedule meticulously, but she also spent quality time playing with him and giving him the attention he needs. She noticed his favorite spots around the house and made sure to give him scratches and pets just where he likes them. What impressed me most was her conscientiousness. She kept the litter box impeccably clean and even noticed when Louie was being a bit shy and knew exactly how to coax him out with his favorite toys. She left detailed notes about his daily activities, eating habits, and general mood. I returned home to find a happy, well-cared-for cat who clearly had been given lots of love and attention. Jenny's professional yet caring approach gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitter. She's truly a gem!”


“Mark did a remarkable job...so remarkable that I think KodaBear misses him! He sent pictures or videos with every visit and gave him all his medications with ease. I will, without question, be asking him to take care of KodaBear again in the future. Thank you, Mark!”


“Very happy with the services provided by Travis. He went above and beyond with the care of our loving companion Champa, he would send us daily pictures of him and would communicate with us about him as well as was more then happy with Champas feeding schedule. My wife and I highly recommend Travis to anyone looking for a cat sitter and will be going through him again next time we need.”



“Allissa was a perfect fit for our newly adopted rescue kitty and our cranky parrot. She knew just how to read their behavior and got the job done efficiently with time left over for play and cat cuddles. This was our first time using a Rover petsitter and it was a great experience. We will definitely be asking Allissa back in the future!”


“Would highly recommend Carissa. Very sweet and great with our dogs. Our dogs have never been left with anyone besides family. She stayed in contact with me the entire time we were gone. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing our dogs were in caring hands.”


“Emilie took excellent care of our pups while I was away for a wedding. She sent great pictures and I knew they were getting all the love when we couldn’t be there. Would love to have her back another time!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs for as long as I can remember. My mom currently has six dogs so to say our house was a quiet one would be a major understatement. I absolutely love fur animals and would honestly love to have my own; however my boyfriend and I travel a lot and know it wouldn’t be fair. I definitely have the most experience with dogs but can watch other pets as well. I love running and going for walks and just being outside. I really like bringing dogs running with me because they keep me company. I can’t wait to meet your little fur baby! I work full time but I work remote. So I can easily come over and take your dog for walks during the day or at night. I can also easily watch them overnight. I do travel a lot so sometimes weekends are hard but I plan out my schedule months in advance so I’ll likely know right away if I’m busy or not. My boyfriend also works every third weekend so I’m generally home then and would love to have your pet as my companion. In my home i do not allow the dogs on the couch, unfortunately. Otherwise, I’d say everything else is fine. I take them out for walks (usually a mile or two) twice a day and a run/walk during lunch. I love helping them get exercise! As far as discipline goes, it really depends on what the owner recommends as it is not my animal so I would never overstep anything.

About: I have had pets of all sorts my whole life and can't imagine life without them! Time with pets is well spent! I was a dog groomer for over 10 years and loved spiffing up the pups! I have patience and a good understanding of personalities, behaviors, and temperaments. I recently lost both of my beloved companions and would love to be able to help you with your pet care needs. I am very flexible with my schedule so most anytime works for me:) I am not working at the moment and recently lost both of my sweet dogs and both of my wonderful cats. I am an Occupational Therapist/Health Coach and may work in the area again in the future, but for the time being I would love to give some dogs my extra love and attention. I'm very flexible with my schedule so most any time works for me. I will take your pups for walks and give them some good play time. I have about 2 1/2 acres that is not fenced, but dogs would never be unattended. I would walk them on a leash and if they are well behaved can have a little freedom in the back yard to play ball/frisbee etc. Dogs will have freedom to walk around if my home when I am there, but I also have a large kennel I can use for bedtime or for their comfort if they prefer that.

About: My love for animals started as a child. I grew up on an organic dairy farm in Menomonie, Wisconsin where I raised and cared for our farm animals. Over the years, our friends have asked us to watch their pets at our house to which we enthusiastically agreed. We've had a variety of animals in our care from dogs to bunnies. We absolutely adore animals and truly love the opportunity to care for them in our home. We are a homeschool family and are home quite a bit most days. There are occasional activities that our kids are involved in and errands that require us to step away but other than that we are home. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for animals to explore. Our neighborhood is full of friendly dogs out for walks. We have a spacious downstairs. We are a homeschool family and are often home during the day to snuggle and care for you sweet fur babe(s). Jon also works from home twice a week! We have a fenced in yard which is a huge plus for the dogs that visit. We can let them out easily for bathroom breaks and provide them plenty of exercise. My kids love to throw the ball for dogs that like to play fetch. We also have a great neighborhood for dog walking.

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and abilities through volunteering and pet sitting. While I’ve only formally trained my own dogs, I’ve gained plenty of real-world knowledge by working with everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need a gentler touch. I'm patient, reliable, and genuinely passionate about making pets feel loved, safe, and happy while their humans are away. Whether it's a long walk, some playtime, or just quiet cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs—because every animal deserves to feel at home, even when they’re not! I work full time but fully remote from my home office so I am available for morning, lunch, or after work walks or feeds when you are rushing to get to work or travel. I typically do not care for pets in my own home as my dog is picky about which dogs are around and I don't want to put anyone at risk. I am happy to come to you!

“Julie has the sweetest heart for people and for dogs! She is kind, responsible, energetic, outgoing, and so much fun!! Julie has such a nurturing personality and at the same time is always up for an adventure! Watching her interact with my puppy, Bodhi, is the sweetest thing! He immediately felt comfortable with her from the first time they met and always is wagging his tail and happy to see her! She asks great questions to get to know your dog well and is detail oriented, organized, keeps a wonderfully clean house/yard, and will give your dog all the love and attention it deserves!”


Daniela A.

“Daniela is an AMAZING pet lover and caretaker. She has watched my now 4-year old cavapoo since she was a puppy and has always done an amazing job. She is super responsive and trustworthy. I would 100% recommend her if you are looking for someone to watch your fur baby :)”
