House Sitting In Nakoma League

“Maureen did an amazing job house-sitting our dog and two bunnies. She asked great questions and was very detailed oriented when understanding the care guide. Highly recommend!!”

“Tatyana is a reliable and caring sitter. She stayed at our house with our 11.5-year-old German Shepherd and provided excellent care, and tremendous peace of mind for us. Having worked at a kennel previously, she is comfortable around all types of dogs (and ours is a big boy). She sent periodic updates and followed our instructions well. We highly recommend her for short or extended care.”

Marlys M.

“Wonderful experience with Marri! Kept us informed of our pets throughout her stay, took delightful photos, and was very respectful. Would gladly rebook.”

Christopher G.

“Sidney was amazing! She sent me pics and updates of my pup and took great care of him while I was away, I would 100% recommend her!!”

About: Hiello! I’m a lifelong animal lover and UW medical student with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for my own pets—my cat Aya (10 years) and my Italian Greyhound, Artemis (4+ years). I understand that every animal has a unique personality and needs, and I treat each pet in my care with the same patience, gentleness, and attentiveness I give my own. You can trust that your pet will be safe, deeply cared for, and truly loved while you’re away. I also have training in BLS for med school and have handled medical care for my own pets and quite a few medically complex animals! As I'm already walking my own dog and taking him out regularly, adding another dog (or dogs) to the mix is no problem! :) I am an MD/PhD student currently in my PhD years and have flexible hours for work. I can board dogs, but won't be able to board other cats (although I can do any drop-ins throughout the week). I am available for drop-ins any day except Tuesday night between 5-8pm, but I could do afterwards if needed. In my apartment, pets are cared for in a calm, structured, and loving environment. I have multiple spaces available so pets can have quiet downtime or separation if they need it, while still feeling safe and comfortable. My dog is very friendly and enjoys the company of other animals, but I always prioritize each pet’s individual comfort and boundaries. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and rest—and provide plenty of affection and supervision. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and maintain your pet’s normal schedule to help them feel secure and stress-free.

“It was so nice to know we had a reliable, kind and experienced pet sitter! Amy took care of our two dogs, cat, and gecko and sent great pictures during her stay. We were lucky to have her!”

“Dustin was an old acquaintance of mine so I already knew that he’s a kind and wonderful person. I did NOT know that he’s also a puppy whisperer (though not surprised!). Dustin took care of our energetic 4 month-old great pyr/retriever puppy while we were away for a week. He kept her company within his flexible work schedule. She was happy and engaged, safe and healthy. He also kept her space tidy, vacuumed before we got back, and did our mail and trash. He communicated daily over text with pics and updates on how she was doing, which helped us to miss her a little less. :) Dustin is 100% reliable and a stand-up guy. Highly recommend!”

“Katy is so wonderful that I have to leave a second review. We’ve been going through a big transition and Katy continues to meet each of my boys where they are at. Her hyper awareness, consideration, and kindness allow me to travel and not stress about any of the boys.”

Robyn S.

“Ann (again) did a great job watching our dog and house while we were on an 8 day vacation!! She sent us plenty of pictures along the way and we have high confidence in her to do it again for us next time we need her.”

Gregory B.

“Louisa and Sammy did an excellent job of taking care of our 7 month old puppy! They spent time playing with her and working with her on training so she is prepared for her puppy class tomorrow! Thank you!”

Ben D.

“Smooth meet-up & sitting experience, and great level of communication! She was reliable and trustworthy in taking care of our pups and the house. Would definitely work with you again and looking forward to it!”

Hanna E.

“Excellent, kind, considerate dog sitter. Briana sent us pictures daily of our dog, she walked him extensively and also helped to work on some training with him. Briana knew how to handle our dog who has some reactivity and anxiety. She was respectful of our home, prompt and great with communication and care !”

Amy K.

“We (and our dogs) loved having Nicole sit for us. She is an excellent communicator and took care of our pups like they were her own. I’d absolutely have her stay with our dogs again—and based on their lukewarm reaction to us coming home, I think they’d like to see her again too. 🤣”

“Nate house sat for our 2 dogs and 1 cat while we were away for a week. He was really wonderful - sent regular photos and updates, took the dogs to the dog park several times, and left the house in great shape. We absolutely recommend him and will definitely rebook with him in the future!”

Jackie B.

“Katie was great with my dog. You can tell she really cares about my guy and appreciates his quirkiness! I will definitely have Katie watch him again. In fact, she is watching him again next weekend!”

About: Hi all, my name is Alina and I’m new to Rover :). I have been a reliable dog/cat sitter for family, friends, and co-workers for a few years. I am a respectful, friendly, animal-loving soul that is free all summer to care for pets and make them feel safe and happy! I am starting medical school in the fall so I am excited to get some time with furry friends this summer. I love getting animals outside for walks and playtime. I am happy to work with pets of all ages. I am starting medical school at UW-Madison in the fall so I am not working any particular job this summer other than pet-sitting. With this, my schedule is very flexible and I’m available just about any day of the week/weekends except a few select dates. I’m happy to work early mornings and late nights too if needed. At my client’s home, I care for pets by following their feeding routine, brushing their fur, and incorporating lots of playtime and exercise. While I haven’t been previously asked, I would also be happy to bathe pets if requested!

“Teagan did a great job watching our dogs while we were out of town! She was very attentive to our needs and sent us updates to let us know our girls were having a good time.”

Julian S.

“Ray is amazing! Any fur baby would be lucky to have her as a sitter. Our senior pup, Ralphie, fell in love with her! She lovingly cared for him and even sent us updates and photos while we were away. She was very professional and we would never hesitate leaving our dog with her again!”

Colleen Q.

“Julia was so pleasant and professional! She asked great questions to prepare for her time with Princeton, and you could tell she really cared - Princeton warmed up to her immediately :) I highly recommend Julia and would definitely hire her again!”

Aisha B.

“Corrine did a fantastic job taking care of our pup. The house was well taken care of and Corrine was great with keeping us updated and sending pics. Will absolutely recommend Corrine and would love to have her stay again!”
