Pet Sitting Maple Wood

“Jen was amazing with our quirky dogs. Our one dog will usually not go out to potty for anyone but us. Jen was able to get her outside to potty 2x while she was here!!! It really shows how caring and sweet Jen. We truly appreciate her helping us out last minute and we will definitely have her check on our pets again.”

“Keezing is incredible as always! It’s hard for us to find someone who we are comfortable leaving our dogs with, and he gives us absolute peace of mind when he’s taking care of our dogs! I would highly recommend him!”

“Megan is such a great sitter for my girl! She takes her time with Peach, even when she gives some sass, and gives her the space she needs, while also making sure she has plenty of playtime and all her needs are met! I’m thankful to have found her.”

About: I’ve always lived in a household with cats and dogs - growing up, my parents had cats and dogs and now that I live on my own, I have 2 kitties of my own - Pumpkin and Jasper! I have pet sat for neighbors, friends, and coworkers and am always so happy to do it! I work fully remote and have flexible hours, so it is easy for me to drop in! I also could work at your home and spend time with your babies if you have wifi! I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with my 2 kitties. I’ve had them both since they were kittens - one is 5 years old now and the other is 3 years old. They are spoiled with treats, play time, brushing, and kisses!

About: Eric and Rachel share a love for their beloved Aussie-beagle Lilo and fostering rescue dogs together. We know that it is never easy to leave your beloved dog with someone new, and in a new place. As our own Lilo has struggled with separation anxiety before, we know how important it is to have a pet sitter who is present, patient, and able to cater their care towards a dog’s specific needs. Rachel has taken care of 6 different family dogs growing up, including a border collie, golden retriever, Boston terrier, 2 mixed breeds and a silky terrier. Eric has taken care of his family dog (chihuahua minpin) since birth till now (11 years old). Together, we have fostered 22 rescue dogs these past two years, ranging from a high energy Great Pyrenees to 3 Border Collie puppies all at once, to a completely afraid and anxious Beagle mama and Shiba Inu mama that are recovering from very difficult situations. We have also looked after American pit bulls, large Newfoundlands and a Rhodesian Ridgeback, and senior doggies who have hip difficulties and special diets. Our own dog is a 3.5 year old Aussie-beagle, so we particularly love the herding dogs. :) We both have lots of experience working with dogs of all kinds of temperaments and needs, especially high energy dogs who require a lot of attention and care, and administering medication to dogs who have special needs. Rachel also loves cooking her home cooked meals for her dog, and can do that for yours too, if you need! We both work from home and have all weekends free. Our flexible schedules together allows us to bring dogs regularly on walks and to look after them consistently. We follow instructions really well, and can take care of your dog according to your requirements. We allow dogs to roam and sleep freely in our home, but we can also crate your dog easily if you prefer. We know how to work with your dog with lots of gentle care and love.

“Taylor was wonderful with Louise. She came everyday, kept his bowl filled and spent time with him. Was very pleased with her service and she sent a bunch of photos. Thanks Taylor!!”

“Shayanne was absolutely wonderful! She was super attentive, sweet, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She was also incredibly flexible and easy to communicate with, which made everything so stress-free. I felt completely comfortable knowing my cat was in good hands while I was away. I would absolutely book with Shayanne again and highly recommend her!”

“Sofi was patient and caring for my dog. My dog warmed up to Sofi more and more each drop in visit. She was great at communicating and sent adorable pictures. Very reliable!”

“Ben provided excellent care for our dog and cat while we were on vacation for a week! He did 3 drop-in visits a day, arrived on time, and provided pics and videos. THEN, when our flight was delayed and we were stuck for two additional days, he covered those visits as well, which was amazing as we were already under a ton of stress due to the delay. We will definitely book Ben again and highly recommend.”

About: Hi! I’m Madison, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for animals in both shelter and home settings. I volunteered with Shelter from the Storm Animal Rescue as a behavioral assessor, where I was trained to observe animal behavior, body language, temperament, and individual needs. I also helped write biographies for adoptable animals, which gave me even more experience getting to know animals as individuals and understanding their personalities and needs. My family also fostered animals, so I’m very comfortable working with anxious, shy, or nervous pets. I understand that some animals need extra patience and time to feel comfortable with a new person. I’m very in tune with animal behavior and pay close attention to body language, comfort levels, routines, and changes in behavior so I can help your pet feel safe and relaxed. I work a hybrid-remote job and am only in the office 1-2 days a week depending on workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care and to spend extra time with your pets that may need more human interaction and snuggles! I’m absolutely comfortable working with anxious, fearful, or timid animals and will give them the patience and space they need to feel comfortable. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and in good hands while you’re away! I work a hybrid-remote job and am only in the office 1-2 days a week depending on workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care and to spend extra time with your pets that may need more human interaction and snuggles! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. My background as a trained animal behavioral assessor helps me recognize signs of stress, fear, discomfort, or overstimulation and adjust my approach accordingly. I’m especially comfortable with shy or anxious animals and will never force interaction before they are ready. I prioritize safe handling, secure doors and gates, and making sure pets cannot accidentally escape. I also respect your home by keeping things clean, following your instructions, and making sure everything is as you left it when I leave. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

“Talia and Stephanie were great caretakers for my kitties! Their rover cards were full of cutie pictures, and it was clear my girls adored them. Would 100% book again!”

About: I have taken care of my family and friends pets for many years. I try my best to understand the pets energy that they display and follow any directions given by the owner that makes the pet feel comfortable and safe. I work as a baker so I have several days where I am done with work either by 11 AM or 1 PM. I am also occasionally available all day on Fridays. I respect the directions given by the owner and try my best to understand the energy given by the pet I am sitting. I do not want to cross any boundaries that make the pet feel unsafe. I am patient with pets and try my best to make them feel comfortable and loved.

“Thank you for responding to my request to help with Sophia today. It sounds like she ate well and felt like walking more today! Thank you for taking good care of her!”

About: I have taken care of pets for 10 years now! I have experience with all sizes of dogs and puppies. My family and neighbors have relied on me to make sure their pets are cared for while they’re away. I am a college student so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to taking care of pups in the evenings and between classes on weekdays. I am not available on most weekends. I will treat your pet and home with respect and ensure they are cared for. I think it is very important for pups to be comfortable in their environment.

“Patrycja was wonderful to our cat - very attentive and responsive at all times. We loved getting daily updates from her during our trip. We could tell that she really cared for our cat through her messages. We also booked Patrycja super last minute and she was so patient and cooperative about key arrangement, etc. We highly recommend Patrycja to the Rover community! :) Will definitely book her again for our future trips.”

About: I’ve been hired by members of my community to, dog sit, walk, and accompany pups on overnight stays in the past up to 3 dogs at a time. I’m committed to caring for your pet like a member of your family! I grew up with dogs my entire life and I want to expand my personal network! Weekends free when I am in town! Expanding my dog sitting network! On quiet weekends I like take the pup(s) on neighborhood walks. Week days I work hybrid in Verona so my check in availability is limited to a close proximity to the office. With new clients I usually schedule an in person meet-up to get introduced to your pet and get to know your preferences for feeding, outdoor potty time, toys, sleeping arrangement, house sitting requests, exit and entry to your home, medications, etc. I follow written and verbal directions with care. For home check ins I will briefly check your home to make sure things are as you left them. I check your pets water supply and give them adequate snuggle or play time indoors and outdoors before leaving locking entry and exit ways.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience with all kinds of sizes and personalities, from little Chihuahuas to bigger dogs like Pit Bulls. So whether your pup is tiny, big, energetic, or a little nervous, I’m comfortable and happy to care for them. I love dogs with big personalities just as much as I love the cuddly, snuggly ones. I’m always happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the kind of attention they enjoy most. Whether that means going on walks, playing, giving belly rubs, brushing their fur, or simply hanging out and keeping them company, I’m up for it! My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, like they’re getting their own little vacation too. I’m currently very open and flexible with scheduling! Whether you need me to drop by for a quick check-in, take your pup out for a walk, or stay with them for a longer visit, I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s needs. I currently can’t have pets stay in my home, so I'll come to you! I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and use the toys, food, harnesses, and anything else they’re already comfortable with. Just show me what they like and how you normally care for them, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of while you’re away.

About: I have owned 4 dogs in the past 30 years; a Chihuahua/Toy Terrier, a Chihuahua/Shitzu, a Dachshund/Corgi and I recently owned a Toy Poodle - who was elderly, anxious, blind and toothless. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge and I miss her so. She was my world! My past dog sitting experience includes overnight care for; a Keeshond, a Terrier, a medium sized mixed breed, a Japanese Chin/Poodle, a Standard Poodle, a Sheltie, and a Pomeranian. Dogs are my special interest and I enjoy loving and caring for them. My 30 years of experience with different dog breeds and temperaments has shaped my ability to have realistic expectations, intentional patience and flexibility with the individual dog personalities that I have encountered. They are all good dogs and I love them all! I am available most days and evenings. I can make home visits to let your dog/s out, walk your dog/s, and/or pet sit overnight as needed. I am flexible with how I can care for your pet. My intention is to keep your dog/s in the routine that they are familiar with so that they can be the calm, happy dog/s they are destined to be.

“Sarah as always took great care of our cat! She is very communicative and always sends photos. We are always very happy when traveling to know our girl is in good hands!”
