“Robert housesat with our 2 dogs and was fantastic with the pups and as a houseguest. He worked so well with our pups and their personalities. Robert's communication is very helpful and reassuring. I was "at peace" during our entire trip away because he sent regular updates and stayed in touch during our travel days. Robert is very professional, communicative, and so good with animals. You can tell he really does this for the joy he gets taking care of your pets. You will not be sorry if you book Robert!”
“Askley dog sitted at our house for the weekend. She was very responsive to initial inquiry as well as continued communication. She was professional yet very friendly and asked appropriate questions about our dogs . Our dogs are quite a handful but she developed a fast relationship with them. She sent pictures and brief update daily. So glad we found an amazing caregiver thru Rover!”
About: I’ve had animals for my entire life and have learned how to take care of them since I was a kid. Throughout the course of my life I’ve had about 8 dogs and over 20 cats. My mom is also a foster parent for a local rescue so she’s had about 100 animals come through her home over the past few years that I’ve been able to interact with and help take care of. All breeds and ages as well :) I’m currently a graduate student and working part time, but my schedule can be flexible as long as there are a few days advanced notice. My weekends can also be flexible, with notice. I will not be taking care of pets in my home, as I don’t have a fenced in yard and also have two cats that aren’t very friendly to visitors. I am committed to keeping your pets safe and following whatever rules or routines you have in place for your pets, as well as provide updates and pictures while I’m caring for your pet.
“Travis did a great job with our two dogs and cat! He was very attentive and caring to our animals, which we greatly appreciated. He sent us pictures and kept in touch with us daily too, which we asked for and loved. He was also very responsible at our home and left it in the same condition in which he found it. Highly recommend and will hire him again.”
“Our home & animals were well cared for and the place was left in better shape than we left it. Daily pics and happy animals. We’re sad Kaitlyn isn’t staying in the area for long because we’d definitely book her again.”
“Glad I chose Nate to stay at my house for a week while I was on vacation. He went out of his way and bought a new leash for my dog Lacy after it snapped. He is very good with communication and sent me pictures of how she was holding up. Highly recommend and will be having him do it again.”
“Tatyana is awesome!! Stayed at our house for two weeks to take care of our dogs and she rocked it!! Not only did she take care of the dogs but she also took good care of the house. Looking forward to working with Tatyana again in the future!!!”
“Mary followed all my instructions perfectly and left copious notes about her time with the dogs. My dogs can be challenging but she handled them like a pro! My house was just as I left it when I returned.”
About: Growing up I have always been around animals. I've had dumbo rats, fish, cats, and dogs, so I've had a variety! I have been a regular dog walker & cat sitter for several families since I was a freshman in HS. My senior year of High School I was a Youth Apprentice at Four Lakes Vet which taught me so much about how to care for animals and learn more about the world of Veterinary Medicine. I'm currently a sophomore at University of Wisconsin-Madison studying Animal and Veterinary Biosciences! I am currently a sophomore at University of Wisconsin-Madison studying Animal and Veterinary Biosciences. During summer, spring, and winter breaks I am typically very available for any kind of pet sitting. During the summer I coach a swim team in the evenings and the first part of my Saturdays are usually busy until 1-2pm due to coaching swim meets for the team. When caring for animals in my home I am very affectinate and attetnivde to what they need and when they need it. For clients pets I make sure I am following the correct instructions and because I'm Fear Free certified from working at Four Lakes Vet, I make sure to not overwhelm the pet. I am usually very good and monitoring their anxiety or stress levels and make sure to respect boundaries! I also make sure to respect the privacy throughout the home of the clients as well!
“Sam took excellent care of my dogs and home. I was happy to get pics and updates, as well as to come home to a clean house. He even washed the bedsheets ? I recommend Sam for both house and pet sitting!”
“Ashley did a great job pet sitting for Tallee! She has been having seizures and Ashely was confident and willing to stay with her at my home. It really helped me enjoy my time away without worrying too much, knowing she was there with Tallee. I'm so happy to have her help!”
“Mallory has been amazing! She has watched my dog twice now and each time has gone very smoothly. My large dog is very sweet once you know him but has a protective streak that can make initial meetings difficult. However, Mallory instantly put him at ease and clearly knows when to give dogs space and how to best approach. My dog loves her and I always feel comfortable leaving him in her care. 100% recommend!”
About: Dogs bring so much joy to my life, and I love giving that right back to them. I’m new to Madison and working as pharmacy resident so don’t have time for my own pup but have so much love to share! I work full-time as a pharmacy resident during the day, so I’m available for evening walks after 5 PM on weekdays. I have full availability on weekends. Safety is always my top priority on walks. I stay attentive, use secure handling, and tailor each walk to the dog’s pace and comfort level.
About: I have had cats for more than half of my life and dog-sat for around the same amount of time. I used to dog sit two huskies all the time, had a dog of my own for a short time, and have experience dog sitting for labs as well! I have even taken care of a bearded dragon and snake on multiple occasions. Rover does not list animals other than cats and dogs directly but I am happy to arrange care for another animal as well, including exotic animals, for a fee that can be discussed. I am volunteering at the humane society and am very involved in caring for animals as much as I have time for. I am excited and ready to care for any and all pets that need it and will stick to specific details given. I won't hesitate to ask questions about the care of your pets when I have them to make sure your pet gets the utmost care and love while you're away or busy, and id yoy have plants that need watering, say the word and I'll do that too! I am currently full time in senior year of high-school and volunteering for two hours a week on the weekends, but I graduate in a month and will have all the time in the world to pet sit! I follow every instruction for food, water, walk, and treats and ask questions if I am unsure of something. I tend to stay longer than needed for check in visits just to give pets some company if I have the time. Unless pets are not very social, they will get all kinds of attention, and if they have any anxiety or behavioral differences I will be very careful and act however is best for them. I am very sure to be on time for visits and will be very specific to follow instructions for walking or being taken outside.
“Ashley was wonderful - came all the way to us for a meet and greet and gave good vibes right away. Before our event, she came on time and provided updates and we felt very reassured. Our pup also loved her right away. Would recommend!”
“12 out of 10. Jessa truly saved me with a last minute request after I had a few rover sitters canceled on me. She came and met my dogs and also was gracious enough to keep an eye on my garden. I will absolutely be using her in the future.”
“We were very pleased with Karina house sitting for us! She asks about specific commands, dietary needs, and preferences of our dog, which was incredibly sweet and thoughtful. She also provides detailed updates and appears to really adore and read pup personalities well. We would highly recommend Karina and will definitely reach out to her again!”
“I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Elizabeth. She was so diligent about following Gus's routine, so great about keeping us updated on how things were going, and above all SO kind and understanding of our pups needs as a spicy/reactive dog. She left me completely at ease and able to relax on our trip. I am so glad we've found her and that our baby has someone he will not just be comfortable with, but excited to spend time with while we are gone!”

Ashley was phenomenal in every aspect of caring for our pet. Before we booked, she came by for a consultation so we could make sure it was a good fit for everyone, which immediately put us at ease. From the very beginning, she was caring, compassionate, and accepting. We were away for 11 days, and Ashley went above and beyond by sending us daily updates and photos. It was so reassuring to see our pets happy and well cared for while we were gone. Her professionalism, communication, and genuine love for animals made the entire experience stress-free. We highly recommend Ashley and would gladly trust her with our pet again!
Alicia stayed with our dog Hazel for a long weekend and we will definitely book her again! Hazel sometimes struggles to warm up to new people but she loved Alicia immediately during our meet & greet. Alicia asked lots of good questions to make sure she was prepared to care for Hazel, and she sent us photos every day.
I booked Jen to sit my senior dog who is very sweet but particular, and she did a fantastic job. Super clearly asking about his needs and his schedule so I could go on a family trip with no worries about my boy. Super timely and clear updates with fantastic pictures that made me feel immediately comforted. I’m looking forward to booking with Jen again when Peanut needs some extra care.
Jeanette was wonderful with our dogs. She came by for a meet-and-greet before our week long trip so they could get comfortable with her ahead of time, which we really appreciated. She was a great communicator throughout the stay, sending regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind while we were traveling. There was also a thunderstorm while we were away, and Jeanette was especially patient with our anxious dog, making sure she felt safe and comfortable. We returned home to a tidy house and very happy dogs. We would book Jeanette again and recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.
Scott really helped us out with a week of drop-in visits for our two dogs, one of which is rather unpleasant with strangers. He also agreed to oversee our coop of chickens which was very helpful. Scott was accomodating and generally a good communicator, and the pups seemed to like him. I think he did a fine job. We would definitely work with Scott again.
