“Emily is great. I can tell she really cares for animals and my dog (and fish) would agree. She’s punctual and shared plenty of picture updates while we were away. I definitely recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs! 😃”
“Petrea was very efficient and Sweeeet. I’d never been away longer than a day with my kitty. This was a week and she was played with and fed well and got better every day with her fear. Pictures were sent to me every day. Came home to a healthy baby. Thank you Petrea. I’ll use her again for sure!”
“Amanda was excellent with my kitties again. Her attention to all the details of the house while she was present is amazing. She has continuously provided top notch service going above and beyond just taking care of the kitties, with keeping an eye on the house as a whole.”
“This is our second time and we will for sure use her services in the future. We love getting detailed reports, pictures and videos and our cats are so happy/well adjusted when we get home. We have a diabetic cat and Joyce is able to handle her insulin levels and a shy cat who has come out of her shell and loves when Joyce visits! She always plays with them and reaches out with any questions or concerns. So dependable and trustworthy. We are so happy to have found someone to take such good care of our girls when we go out of town. Definitely recommend! 10/10”
“They did a great job taking care of my cat, Erika, who was not very happy about us leaving for a few days. Brittany sent me a picture of Erika each day, even when she was being uncooperative and trying to hide. She was responsive to text messages and kept me updated. I definitely recommend Brittany and Branson!”
“Jaymee quick drop in to make sure our Stella was comfortable with her coming into the house without us there. We really appreciated this extra step she took to make sure Stella will be good when we have her come back to sit with Stella for a longer time.”

“This was my first time using Rover for my dog, I was a little nervous about my dog not being cared for by family. But Isabel was so kind and friendly. She sent me messages and pictures of my Oliver when I was away. I was so impressed by this service. I know my dog is a handful but he seemed very happy the whole weekend. I will absolutely recommend Isabel!! I hope she is available to help next time I am out of town. Thank you so much Isabel!!!”

About: Growing up I lived in the country with cows, horses and chickens next door. We always had many cats and dogs because we had the space and they just knew we would take them in if they didn't have a home. I wish I had the space now to have more animals but since I dont, it would be an honor to take care of yours. My experience with animals would be having a cat that needed shots daily for diabetes, a blind dog, dog that had seizures, taking care of friends and family's pets. Some which needed daily medicine or had a lot of energy : ). I ppreciate the trust they have in me to take care of their fur family members. Each pet, like humans, have their own personality. I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule N/A not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable

About: I graduated in May of 2025 from the Madison Area Technical College Veterinary Technician Program, then passed the VTNE to become a Certified Veterinary Technician. In school we worked with dogs, cats, horses, cows, and lambs. I have had dogs since I was a child, and I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I worked on a farm taking care of horses for about two and a half years from 2020-2022. I've taken care of pets for friends/family for many years as well! I currently work at a vet hospital, though I am out on FMLA. Unfortunately, that means I can only take on pets less than 30 lbs at the moment. If you're looking for someone to take extra care of your pets, please reach out to see if we're a good fit! I'm currently working full time as a certified veterinary technician at a veterinary hospital. I work 40 hours a week with a varying schedule. Generally I work 8 am - 6 pm four days a week (my day off during the week changes each week). I work on Saturday about once per month. My rover clients will be scheduled around that availability. I currently live in an apartment with a cat and will not be able to watch clients' pets in my home. If I am watching pets in the client's home, I will take care of them the way I would take care of mine. I am respectful and conscientious of your personal space and privacy.
“Miriam was great with my dogs while I was out of town and the last minute booking wasn't an issue. One of my dogs takes medicine every few hours and Miriam was able to administer it with no problems.”

Machesney Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
I highly recommend her! We used the drop-in visit service 3 times a day for 5 days while I was away. She was very friendly, reliable, and took great care of my dog. She made sure he got plenty of walks, stayed on top of his allergy medication, and always had fresh food, water, and treats. I was so happy knowing he was getting attention and care while I was gone. Unfortunately, my pup wasn’t the happiest camper because he’s my little Velcro dog and is used to going everywhere with me! That has nothing to do with the care he received—she did a wonderful job. If anything, this experience taught me that next time I’ll probably book an overnight or house-sitting service for him. Thank you for taking such great care of my boy. I would definitely book again! 🐾❤️
Brittany was so easy and helpful to work with. She was super friendly and my reserved cat was happy to see her. I loved and pictures and communication while I was away. It really gave me a piece of mind that my kitty was safe and happy. This was my first time using Rover and I am very glad I chose to go with Brittany. I will use her again int he future!
Karen was great with our old man cat. He's a bit shy but loves attention and so it was nice to see that he warmed up to her quickly. She was responsive, caring, and took care of all the cat's needs without ever missing a step. We'll definitely rebook if we're traveling out of town again in the future!
