“I found Taylor last minute when I needed to find a sitter for my babies which at first made me nervous. However, not only did Taylor make a huge effort to make my babies happy she was very helpful with drop off and pick up times as well. It was very obvious in the pictures of my babies and updates she sent me my pups were comfy. I will definitely schedule with Taylor again as she made me comfortable to leave my puppies with her the minute we met and saw the environment my pups would be in.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life — not just cats and dogs, but ducks, goats, pigs, and more! That experience taught me how every animal has its own personality and needs. I’m patient, observant, and I pay attention to the small things that keep pets happy and calm. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a shy cat, I meet them where they are and make their comfort my top priority. My job is very flexible, so I’m able to fit pet care into my day with ease. I’ll always make time to check in, play, and give your pet the attention they need — no rushing, just genuine care and consistency. When I’m caring for your pet, I do everything I can to make them feel at home — whether that’s in your space or mine. I stick closely to their normal routine so they stay comfortable and relaxed. I make sure they’re fed, played with, and loved on, and I always keep things clean and cozy. My yard is currently unfenced, but any outdoor time will always be closely supervised to ensure their safety. I also send regular photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how your pet’s doing — they’ll be in loving, dependable hands the whole time.
“Absolutely Great Sitter!!! I would highly recommend. Emily made such an extra effort with the goats on my farm and even tried to milk one that was having difficulties. She followed all my instructions and I would hire her again.”
About: I grew up around animals my entire life and I’ve watched over family friends and friends animals as well. I absolutely love animals and now I personally have 4 dogs. Whether they’re high energy or a couch potato every animal deserves to be loved and their boundaries respected! My work as an EMT only has me working 2 days out of the week so I’ve got a good bit of free time! Being able to work around those 2 days is really easy. On my off days I’d be able to check on your animals 2-3 times a day! I love walking as well, it clears my mind, so the more walks your dogs need the better for us both! While I don’t offer to take any pets into my own home due to my own pets, I am willing to come see your fur babies. I was raised to always respect someone’s home and privacy. Your animals will be well taken care of at all times in my presence with respect to your rules and guidelines.
About: Throughout my life I've grown up around and cared for many dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. I've also had the wonderful opportunity to participate in my high school's doggie daycare, where we walked, played, and provided grooming services to dogs. My lifelong love for animals has led me to become a student at Texas A&M majoring in Wildlife and Fisheries, and for my freshman year I was a member of a service dog training organization called Patriot Paws. Currently I'm volunteering weekly at a wolfdog sanctuary where I clean enclosures and care for the wolfdogs that reside there! My availability should be accurately reflected on my calendar. Im usually available all times of day and any day of the week. I prefer at least 2 days notice for a booking. When caring for pets, I'll try to care for them in the same way they're used to when their owners are home. If there's any specifications for feeding, walking, etc. I'll follow it as close as I can.
About: I've been around dogs my entire life. Growing up, I was always responsible for feeding, bathing, and walking my family's pets. I am also a student majoring in pre-veterinary medicine and hoping to become a veterinarian. I love all animals deeply and strive to make every dog that comes under my care feel loved and wanted. I have a gentle nature, and I am very patient with animals. If you have a rowdy pup, that is no problem! My schedule is relatively open, except when I have classes. Currently, my schedule is Monday: Unavailable Tuesday: Available after 10:45 am Wednesday: Unavailable Thursday: Available after 10:45 am Friday: Available after 10:50 am Saturday and Sunday: Open availability I am able to come and stay in your home, as well as check in on your pup every 2-4 hours to ensure everything is okay. I am a night owl, so late-night check-ups are no problem for me either! I try to keep the environment as close to your routine as possible. Ensuring your pup's comfort is my top priority, so everything will remain as is. As long as I am shown the ropes on how everything is maintained, then you can trust that everything will remain the same as when you left it. I will also provide frequent updates and contact you in the event of an emergency.
About: My family has had animals of all kinds for many years, and a few of my own. My experience with different breeds is wide! My grandmother was a veterinary technician her whole career so nothing but the best care is acceptable! I am full time in Human Resources while also attending college part time, but I try my best to work around client needs! I have a fur baby of my own named Ollie that I rescued from the animal shelter and he is my whole world. We enjoy hikes on the weekends and cuddles on weeknights always. My goal is to make sure that whatever service you need for your furry family member is met and that you have peace of mind that their care is exemplary. I work a fairly flexible schedule, my full time job is a 9-5. I typically leave for lunch and come home on my breaks being that I live ten minutes from my job! I have college classes Monday and Wednesdays from 5:30-7:00. Pets are family after all! Your pets will be allowed on furniture if they please and be walked on a consistent basis! I’m all about the cuddles as well! I’m very flexible to what your individual pet needs, and their routine. My goal is to make their time away from their family as comforting and smooth as possible. Wether you’re on vacation, or away for work the goal is that your pet is in good hands so that both you and them do not have to stress!
About: Overall, I combine passion for pets with professional care to create an exceptional experience for both dogs and their owners. It’s an Adventure for everyone Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, seamlessly woven into my activities. Each day begins with morning walks, ensuring that the dogs get fresh air and exercise to start their day off right. After their walks, I dedicate time to feeding, grooming, and providing any necessary medications, tailoring the care to each pet's specific needs. Throughout the day, I prioritize playtime and mental stimulation through interactive games and training sessions. This not only keeps them entertained but also strengthens the bond we share. I incorporate regular check-ins to monitor their health and behavior, making adjustments as needed. Weekly, I schedule longer outings or adventures, such as trips to the dog park or nature walks, allowing for socialization and exploration. I also set aside time for grooming sessions, ensuring that all pets remain clean and comfortable. Overall, pet care is not just a task but a joyful routine that brings fulfillment and structure to my days, ensuring each pet receives the love and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I create a welcoming and safe environment equipped with plenty of space for play, comfortable sleeping areas, and access to outdoor areas for exercise. This setup is ideal for pets that thrive in a home-like setting and allows for close supervision and personalized attention. Ultimately, I adapt my services to meet the needs of each pet and their owner, ensuring the best possible experience for both.
“Kellie had great communication from beginning to end. She is dedicated and was great with Miss Kitty. And she was available last minute over the holiday. It was so nice to not worry about my fur baby while we were out of town. I would definitely recommend her for future stays.”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Onalaska stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
