“In my forty years of having dogs, Vanessa is the best dogsitter I have ever had. But to call Vanessa a dogsitter is not enough. She truly cared for my dogs, and by extension me: I did not have a single moment of worry or concern in my 6 days out of town, not with Vanessa caring for my dogs. I was lucky to find Vanessa. You would be lucky, too.”

“Second time booking Liz in two weeks and she was great once again! Even took care of our outdoor plants for us which we really appreciated. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Kristine was awesome with my cat Winnie. She can get scared with new faces but Kristine was kind and gentle with her. 10/10 would book with her again!”

“Leandra did an amazing job with my dog while I was out of town, came home to a very happy pup. Very timely with updates and made sure to take lots of pictures, highly recommend!”

“MeRae took great care of the kitties while I was away. Sent lots of photos and the kitties seemed really happy and active during their daily check-ins. Knowing that MeRae has cats of her own made me feel confident leaving the cats in her care. Highly recommend and I’ll be booking again! :)”

“Jessica was amazing!! She sent photos and updates, I knew my pup was having a great time. Really happy to meet her, I never have to worry about Russell being alone.”

“Lexi has always been great with our two kitties, super responsive and kind. She goes above and beyond every time we are out of town and couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet like they are my own. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, energetic with playful dogs, and gentle with senior animals who may need extra support and slower-paced care. I’m also very detail-oriented and make sure routines are followed closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I communicate consistently with pet owners through updates and photos so they always know their pet is happy and well cared for. What sets me apart most is the amount of genuine attention and affection I give to each pet. I don’t just “watch” animals — I spend quality time with them to make sure they feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for while you’re away. I'm currently nannying on weekdays from 8:00am - 4:30 pm, so I’m available for morning visits before work, evening walks/check-ins, and overnight care depending on the pet’s needs. I’m especially flexible on weekends and have much more availability for walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and quality playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent, stress-free, and fun. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime, and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I have two large-breed dogs at home, so I’m comfortable handling bigger, high-energy dogs, and I have also frequently dog sat for smaller-breed dogs with different temperaments and care needs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care requests.
“Avery was great with my dog! Followed all requests and went above and beyond. She was very communicative and accommodating. I would definitely recommend booking with her and I will again too! :)”

“Emily took great care of my three kitties while I was gone. She was wonderful at communicating and following the instructions I left. The litter area is clean and she watered my plants! I highly recommend her for your pet care. A+++”

About: Hi, my name is Missy I've had a great deal of experience with all different kinds of animals. I worked with a local vet helping place feral cats in homes and providing excellent care for them. Including helping pregnant feral cats with delivery and maternal care. I have volunteered at the Wisconsin Humane Society. There I worked in the Wildlife rehabilitation center as well as the dog care center. I currently own dogs and cats of my own and I recognize how important it is to provide excellent care as well as exercise and playtime. I have past experience in boarding and dog sitting in my home which has always been a great experience. Can't wait to give the love and care your dog(s) deserve!
“Sydney connected with Leo very well on our meet and greet, which is hard to do because of his age and anxiety. From the photos she shared they had a good first visit.”

About: I have had dogs my whole childhood, and been around dogs since I could remember. I understand that every pet has unique needs and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I had a miniature dachshund growing up- so bonus points for a weenie! 🌭 I’m currently working part-time this summer so I have a lot of time to care for your pets. My schedule is kinda random as I am in healthcare currently. I either work from 7-1pm or 1-8pm. Fridays I have mornings available until 12pm, and Saturday evenings, free Sundays. I have two Maine Coon cats at my home currently. They are very friendly but a little skiddish. We have a litter robot at our home, and they are very spoiled & loved!
“Megan was so wonderful!! Our sassy cat loved her and we could tell he felt comfortable with her and was calm when we got home after a week away. We are so thankful to have found her and are way more confident with leaving in the future!”


About: Taking care of dogs is something I have enjoyed for much of my life, even a malanois can’t resist my affection! I’m very excited to have fun with your fur baby! I am currently working part time so my availability is open to help you and your lovely pet! I am able to easily balance your pet care with my own schedule. Figuring out your pets needs is crucial, then building a good routine around play, rest and bathroom breaks. Building a good routine is very important for me to develop a good relationship with your friend!
“Initially, Ivy came over for a meet and greet and our dogs took to her quickly, which is always a huge sign for me! Since then she’s been accommodating, personable, easy to communicate with and great with our dogs! I’d highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! I would be an amazing pet sitter because I love animals. Ever since I was little I have had pets whether dogs, cats, ducks or turtles. I am currently in college and away from my dog Nalla so taking care of your pet would honestly be special for me too. One of the main reasons I am on rover is because I love to walk and hike and figured why not add a companion. Hi! I am currently on break from work and school so I can make anything work! I am available everyday of the week at any hours necessary! I sadly cannot have any pets in my home because I live in an apartment but I can take that out for walks in areas near me! I also am used to taking care of a dog when I am home so can do whatever the owner needs!
Merrill Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cindy had been wonderful! She asked questions about Vladimir’s schedule, behaviors, even where he likes to sleep. She pays close attention to directions and details and is an excellent communicator! I feel very comfortable leaving Vladimir in her care. I know he will be loved on, cared for, and is safe. Vladimir loved her immediately and we’re lucky to have found her!

Jill was extremely kind and professional. My cat is honestly pretty rude to sitters. Jill was great at noticing her body language, giving my cat her space, and even finding her when she managed to get into an unusual hiding space. She's a great and reliable caregiver for your pets!

Kaitlin was amazing! She took great care of our kitties while we were out of town. Her communication was stellar. She took the initiative to bring in some mail and a package that snuck through before we asked her to. Highly recommended! We would definitely book with Kaitlin again!
First time use of Rover and Valerie for condo visit to feed my cat, His LLordship Llewyn of Wales. Very impressed with Valerie as she showed genuine concern, attention to detail including favorite play toys, accuracy in following instructions, and excellent communication skills including sending multiple pictures. I would highly recommend Valerie for in-home pet visits. Thank you!
