About: I have taken care of large Akitas my whole life. They were very difficult to walk and struggle with other dogs so plenty of experience with more difficult walkers. I also currently live with a Jack Russell! Recent UVA Law graduate waiting for my job to start in January so available almost any time of day. Need more of a heads up for last minute walks to make sure I can be there, but other than that I am a trustworthy young adult with a lot of time on her hands! Handle everything I do with extreme care. I will make sure to treat your pet with the upmost care and concern necessary for any walk or check-in.
“Cheyenne did great with our cat as always. Our cat needs a daily pill these days, and Cheyenne was really thoughtful about finding the right approach to pilling her so that she'd still have our cat's trust. She's a pro.”
“Jacob was great! He came by to check in on our dog while we were away for the day and was super friendly, responsible, and easy to communicate with. He sent us photos and updates during the visit, which we really appreciated. We felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands and would definitely book with Jacob again!”
About: I grew up on a farm, which is pretty much where my animal obsession began! I was surrounded by cows, pigs, horses, chickens, cats, dogs — basically if it had fur, feathers, or hooves, I probably helped take care of it. Growing up around so many different animals taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and how every animal has their own unique personality. Ever since then, animals have just naturally been a huge part of my life! I’m a full-time nurse with a flexible schedule, since I only work 3–4 days a week. That means I have plenty of time, energy, and attention to dedicate to your furry friends! Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I love making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I accommodate to every pets needs! I have crates, I do structured playtime and go on long walks to exert energy. I also have a friendly dogs who would love to keep your pet company.
About: Raised around large dogs, puppies and high energy, I have the patience and knowledge to take care of your furry family members with care and compassion. I have experience with puppies to seniors who may need extra attention to detail. I work a full time job with work from home flexibility to be present for your fur-children. I enjoy taking long walks, trips to the park and providing cuddles in my after hours. I live in a quiet apartment community fit with lots of green space, public parks and paved trails to make sure your pet gets lots of fresh air and exercise.
About: I grew up around animals and have 2 spoiled, adorable cats myself. I also have experience pet sitting for friends and family as well as dog walking. I work full time, but have flexible lunch breaks, evenings, and weekends. I am very active, so I would love to take your dogs for a walk, hike, or run. I am also free to stay occasional overnights if needed. Since my cats' security is my priority, I will not be able to host your pets in my home. However, I would love to spend time with them in their own space and can keep them company for evenings, weekends, and overnights.
About: I have a lot of experience with animals, especially cats and dogs. Growing up I had multiple rescue dogs and a cat. In addition to my own pets I regularly take care of my neighbors’ dogs. In the past I worked for Cherokee Kennels and volunteered for Shelter from the Storm and the Dane County Humane Society. I am currently working part time and would love to care for your pups and kitties in my free time. I am looking for jobs primarily in the evenings and weekends. I care very deeply for the health and wellness of all animals. In addition to feeding my own dog her diet specific food and treats and walking her we love to play and cuddle. This is the kind of care I have with others’ pets too.
“Kylie was absolutely wonderful with our cats, Georgie and Weezy!! She was punctual, attentive, and kept us updated with photos and messages during her drop-in visits. Georgie really liked her and she tends to be more timid with strangers. We’ll definitely book with Kylie again!”

Only the best for your pets because I get it you want the best for them!:) I love to play and give scratches but I’m also willing to cuddle like I said !
About: I have dog sat many different breeds and ages of dogs. I love to go on walks or play outside with younger pups, but am also happy to relax and cuddle on the couch with an older dog. I am a recently graduated college student who is looking for an enjoyable side gig while still working a part time job that doesn’t have set weekly hours. I love dogs and am always down for a walk or cuddle. I prefer a fenced in yard, but understand if that isn’t available. I enjoy playing with the dogs and laying around with them after a long walk.
About: I have 10 years of experience by caring for puppies, seniors, and the ages in between. I also love playing, cuddling, and going for walks!

I am very comfortable with all different types of animals and love to care for them. Sadly they will not be able to come to my apartment due to my roommate’s allergies.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses, and have experience in oral med administration with both cats and dogs. I have a soft spot for the big dogs (they're lap-sized if you commit!). I run half marathons so getting good exercise in will be no problem (even in Wisconsin weather!). I'm currently training for distance running, so you can expect great exercise for your pet! Whether it's a long meandering sniff-ari or an intense loop around the neighborhood, I would love to know what fits your dog best. As I'm in your home, your instructions are paramount. You know your pet better than anyone, and I am happy to keep their normal routines in place. I like getting to know each animal and their unique personality, and while I *love* giving snuggles and pets, I understand some pets prefer their space.
About: I have extensive experience around all kinds of animals with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I love being around animals and am patient and attentive to make sure pets can feel comfortable and safe. I grew up with dogs, cats, and a guinea pig so I am well versed in pet care. I also understand the importance of routines, communication, and trust when caring for someone else's pet. I have worked as a pet sitter in Grand Rapids Michigan in previous years and engaged in pet walking, giving medication, and overnight stays with dogs. As a student, I am organized and responsible with caring for animals, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them! I'm currently working part time training to become a CNA, so I have lots of free time to take care of your pets! My weekends are completely open for any consistent care, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets company. When caring for pets within a client's home, I always follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, crate routines, litter box cleaning, and any other special care needs. I’m very attentive and make safety a priority by keeping doors secure and monitoring pets closely. I also believe trust and communication are extremely important when caring for someone else’s pets, so I’ll always provide updates and photos to help owners feel reassured that their pets are happy and in good hands.

About: Growing up with two dogs, and always playing with friends' and neighbors' pets, I have always loved spending time with animals! I’ve been dog and cat-sitting for the past 5+ years. I will provide as much exercise as needed, play with, feed, and bathe pets. I would love to continue meeting and taking care of new pets through Rover! I am currently a student at UW-Madison but I will work around this schedule in order to have plenty of time during the day to look after your pets! I am also available on weekends and my schedule is pretty flexible depending on your needs, and I will always make sure that your pet is my number 1 priority during the time they are in my care! I will adjust how I care for your pets based on their needs and preferences! I love to snuggle with pets, but I know some want to play, which I will also attend to.

Jen is a wonderful, kind and caring pet sitter and our dog just adores her (and he’s picky!) Jen consistently provides text and photo updates, and we can see how comfortable our dog is with her. He loves to snuggle with her, show off his favorite toy, and show her all the best places to sun or get cozy. We are so grateful for the TLC and care Jen brings to every visit. Our dog has special medical needs and various medications, all of which Jen competently handles. We look forward to booking her again and again!
