“Rhonda was fantastic! We needed a cat sitter on short notice and turned to the Rover app for the first time—so glad we found her. She responded quickly and was happy to help. We met beforehand and she was so friendly and easy to talk to. While we were away, she kept in great contact, sent us adorable pictures, and clearly took wonderful care of our cat, Q. He warmed up to her and trusts her, which says a lot! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book her again.”


“She did an amazing job with our two pups. Stopped by on time and gave them plenty of play time and potty breaks. We got some very cute pictures of them playing afterwards which was also wonderful!”


“Ajia was wonderful! We love her! She sent updates and pictures. She followed our instructions and requests. She did exactly what we wanted and more. We will definitely ask her back. She’s our new cat sitter. 🐱”


“We hired Maya to give our dogs a potty break while my husband and I were out for the day, and she was absolutely wonderful! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pups weren’t stuck inside all day. Maya was prompt, reliable, and kind. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring with your pets.”


“Cali and Skylar were amazing. One of our pups is nervous around strangers and they were okay with taking some time to get to know him and executed the care plan perfectly. We will definitely be booking with them again!”


“Linsie was AMAZING with our dog, Ellie. Our dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times meeting new people, but Linsie was so calm and kind with her! We even asked short notice and she was able to come through and help us! Thanks again, Linsie!”


About: Although I am newer to dog sitting, I have stayed at family and friend’s homes with their dogs multiple times in the last year including following feeding schedules, walking, playing fetch, and more. I love to play fetch with dogs and sometimes end up enjoying it more than they do. I have a high energy personality that is also nurturing and sweet. I personally one day want at least one dog of my own so this is good experience in and of itself to learn about different breeds. I would love to get to know your dog :) I do work a job 8-5pm during the weekdays, but am open on the weekends and would be willing to stay the night at your home. I offer checking up on your dog during my open breaks during the day, playing fetch, walking your dog, pee breaks, and following a feeding schedule that you have. I am also open to learning new skills that you are open to teaching me and that are within your comfort.

“Laura did awesome! She was so quick to communicate, sent me photos every day, and let me know exactly how Sawyer was doing when she visited. I felt very comfortable having her check in on him and will definitely re-book with her in the future.”


About: I love animals and share my life with my boyfriend, two cats, and a dog. Our home is filled with their playful energy and affection. For years, I've enjoyed dog walking and dog sitting for friends and family, finding joy in every wagging tail and happy bark. Animals bring such warmth and companionship, and I cherish every moment spent caring for them. Whether it's cuddling on the couch or taking long walks, they make life richer and more fulfilling. I am currently employed as an Athletic Trainer for Emplify Health (formerly Gundersen) for the past 6 years. As much as I love providing care for the student-athletes at Central High School, I also love providing care for animals! I am typically at work in the afternoons starting around 1:00pm so I am available in the mornings on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am available most weekends for pet care as well. My boyfriend and I currently have 2 cats and a dog that we care for. I take our dog, Daisy, on walks daily to ensure she is getting her exercises as needed. As a larger dog, I know the needs she has for her activity level. I have worked with her on commands as well since she was a puppy.


About: Hello! Thank you for taking a moment to view my profile. I am an experienced, compassionate pet sitter and I also have a degree as a Vet Tech, so you can be sure your pet will be in good hands. I have taken care of pets in my neighborhood for over 25 years now, and have many long-term clients. I enjoy long walks, running, playing, snuggling, you name it. I don't just show up and sit there. I have experience giving meds, changing bandages, and more as well, so if there's an extra step needed to ensure your pet is healthy and happy, I am able to assist. Why I love dog sitting I have had animals my whole life, grew up on a farm. I’ve been pet sitting for 25 years for a large variety of pets. I’m comfortable with all breeds, ages, and temperament. My experience administering medication Yes. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I have administered pills, shots, ointments, etc. I have worked in a traditional clinic setting as well as in some pretty remote locations in Mexico so I am well versed in a variety of meds and situations.

“Bella was so wonderful! She came and kept Boone company while we were at a wedding in town. We felt safe and comfortable with our dog in her care. It was nice that she sent pictures and updates too! Thank you again Bella!”

I keep my space tidy and leave your home exactly as I found it—often cleaner. Flexible schedule. Safety first. I follow leash rules, monitor weather conditions, and send photo updates so you’re always in the loop. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats reliability and responsibility as non-negotiables—and treats your dog like family—let’s chat! I am flexible and available as I am a college student. I can work around your schedule depending on the time of year. Let's chat! Clean, organized care. I keep my space tidy and leave your home exactly as I found it—often cleaner. Flexible schedule. Safety first. I follow leash rules, monitor weather conditions, and send photo updates so you’re always in the loop.

About: I’ve been around dogs since age 10, I’ve slowly learned more about legitimate dog training since having my own dog. I prioritize dogs wellbeing over everything. I work from home on Mondays and most Fridays and usually leave the office around 4pm during the week days and am completely free during the weekends. Chat with me and we can work around your schedule and pup’s needs! I have one pup of my own in a small one bedroom apartment and for that reason do not allow in home boarding but if my pup is welcome in yours I am more than happy to stay in homes!

“Lindsay gets a 5 star rating from us! She was great with out two kitties! She took the time to try and get to know them and learn their habits. She was in daily contact with us sending pictures and notes about each visit. We would feel very comfortable hiring her again!”


“Kiana was amazing during her drop in visits with our cats. She was able to get them to play and eat treats. She kept the litter boxes clean and the kitties happy. She even watered my plants! Kiana is a great communicator and I will definitely be using her again!”


About: Hi, my name is Megan. I have been volunteering at my local Humane Society, for over 2 years, so I’ve had lots of experience with so many different breeds of dogs! I enjoy all types of animals. Potty breaks I know are important along with tons of play time. I am able to learn/ adapt to your pets needs! All animals are wonderful in my eyes! Lots of pets and scratches, and belly rubs also included! I personally would love to be able to watch your pets. It’s my dream job I’d say! I’m very laidback, and have a calm personality . Also I’ll treat your pet as I would my very own. I work part time! So most days I am available to walk or watch your animals! Just message me to talk more about how I can care for your animal(s)! I would do anything for my animals. There is a fenced in big back yard! My 2 dogs love it. I keep my two dogs as healthy as possible! I love them like family.

About: I have dog sat for 4 years now! I can take care of any size dog. I am working full time 8-5 M-F. I am able to come home during lunch to take the dogs out as well with your request. Happy to stay overnight, and I am fine with sleeping on the couch. Weekends I am happy to stay at your house full time. Will ask for approval when I leave the house unless permission is granted before hand! Let me know if you want pictures of your pups and updates, or if you need time away from the dogs I can take care of anything without updates. Please give me any details regarding food, routines, medicine, and other duties you would like me to complete! I clean up when I leave as well, so everything will look the same as when you left! :) I have taken care of my two family dogs since a very young age. Dogs love me, and I love them. I would be very happy to take care of your dog/dogs when you have other business to attend to. I graduated Viterbo Spring 2024 and have a full-time job, but I am able to let the dogs out at lunch during the week and stay overnight as well. I am completely free on weekends, and would love to spend my free time caring for your awesome dogs. I would like nothing more than to offer you a cheap alternative to a kennel for your dogs on weekends. I provide care to other dogs by responding to their needs, giving them space, attention, and of course playtime whenever they need them. I love to go on walks with dogs, and I learned different techniques to respond to different behaviors at the Coulee Region Humane Society. When meeting for the first time, it is important that I can recognize the body language of the dogs to ensure their comfort and safety as well as my own safety. Meet and greets before sitting are highly recommended.


About: I've taken care of animals my whole life. Growing up my family had a small hobby farm where we cared for many animals. Since moving out I have owned and helped train multiple working dogs, including the pointer I have now. I have no problem administering medications if needed. I already walk my multiple times a day so your dog will get plenty of exercise. My girlfriend works from home and I have a flexible work schedule so we are available any time you may need. Your dog will always have someone around if they like constant attention! I live in a house with a large, mostly fenced in backyard. My dog has never met someone he doesn't love, and will run/play until he can't stand anymore! Plenty of room for exercise and play!
