“Felicia was great to work with! She was flexible with my schedule changes and extremely accommodating and caring for our dog we just adopted from a rescue. I will definitely have her come check in on our pets again. I enjoy getting the pictures and updates from her.”

About: Dogs, cats, & other animals have been a part of my family for as long as I can remember. I’ve pet sat for several friends and family members, and never had any complaints! Currently I’m working part time, so I’m pretty open! Weekends and afternoons are perfect, but I’m also open to morning check-ins and walks. I love getting outside and exercising, and I know that it’s such an important part of pets’ routines too! No dogs at the moment, but we do have several cats, both indoor and outdoor! Comfortable with walking dogs, and I can adapt to any commands that you use for them. I never ever use aggression to teach pets, but still firm with them. Unable to run with dogs, but absolutely can go for walks and/or play fetch with them outside.

“Our normal cat sitter was having a new baby while we were going out of town, so we had to find someone new. I found Rebecca after another sitter that I had lined up backed out and I was so glad I did. She did a great job! I also cat sit for Rover, and Rebecca gave the wonderful care that I always try to give my own clients. We appreciated the notes, and pictures from each day that she visited. My kids were upset about leaving their 3 kittens for so long, but they felt better seeing that they were in great hands with Rebecca. I will definitely use Rebecca again and recommend to others families with cats.”


“Angela was very patient and accommodating to the needs of both our dogs. She took her time to let our more introverted dog warm up to her and feel comfortable. She played with our dogs during each check in. Received detailed updates and a lot of photos with each check - really putting our minds at ease while we were out of town. Would recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced & reliable pet sitter.”

About: I don't charge strictly by the number of animals. Instead, I base pricing on the overall time, care required, and complexity of the visit. Whether you have one pet or several that share the same routine, I'll provide a fair quote. Hi! I'm Gabriella, and I've been caring for animals my entire life. I grew up on a small farm raising pigs, chickens, and rabbits, and I've never been without dogs or cats. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life, from feeding and cleaning to recognizing when something isn't quite right. I've been providing pet care through Rover since 2021 and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and hobby farm animals. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, playtime, medication, or just someone to keep them company, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I'd want for my own animals. I'm also comfortable caring for livestock and multiple-animal households, making me a great fit for families with hobby farms or a variety of pets. I understand that every animal has its own personality and routine, and I strive to make each visit as stress-free and consistent as possible. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered!) family members! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I offer morning, afternoon, and evening visits and do my best to accommodate your pet's normal schedule. I understand how important consistency is, especially when you're away, and I'll communicate with updates and photos after every visit. Every pet is cared for according to their individual routine and your instructions. I'm experienced with dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, pigs, and hobby farm animals, so I'm comfortable caring for multi-animal households. Safety is always my priority, whether that means double-checking gates, using leashes, crating when requested, administering oral medications, or making sure fresh food and water are always available. I'll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I give my own.
“Emily was very communicative, even through the last minute notice and some challenging weather. It was a comfort to know our cat was well cared for in our absence.”

“We had a wonderful experience. He took such thoughtful care of our dog and was incredibly flexible when our timing shifted. He also handled a little accident with complete kindness, which meant a lot to us. Our dogs were happy, calm, and clearly well loved. Highly recommend!”

About: I can hardly remember a time where i didnt have at least one pet. I volunteered at animal care and dogwash places throughout highschool as well as taking care of my grandmother and other seniors in life I am looking for work but currently unemployed and always able to give your pet only the best care and time I walk and drive I care for pets in my home by feeding them the proper food,giving them water,snuggling and playing with them,taking them on walks to excersize as well as getting them outside for bathroom breaks

“Katrina was such a lifesaver! I have struggled to find a good sitter for my big doggies as they can be really timid of strangers and occasionally make it difficult to socialize. Katrina was so patient and they warmed up to her immediately. I got tons of pictures and videos while I was away and I could clearly see they made a new great friend. I'm so thankful for her help, would absolutely recommend!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs through friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve handled feeding, walks, playtime, and overnight stays. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and routines and always aim to make them feel safe and comfortable. I am currently seeking for a job and have a really flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I could possibly do weekends, but it depends on how available I can be to help. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any other specific instructions provided. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their own environment.
About: I have raised a boxer puppy on my own, I have also owned dogs all throughout my life both big and small. I think what separates me from others is my motivation for dogs to live the health lifestyle they deserve. I have also dog sit for family members in the past. Right now I am going to school part time so most of my schedule will be open Mon-Fri. I cannot do Sunday walks or drop in’s but I can do Saturday on occasion. For drop in visits I will take them pee and for a quick stroll unless requested otherwise or it is a puppy that has not received all shots then they will just get a quick pee break and some play time. For dog walking services I will do 30 minutes or 60 minutes upon request (prices will vary based on time spent walking). I will also provide treats for leash training (owner will be required to inform me of any allergies dog may have).
About: I have many years of experience with dogs and cats through personal pet ownership and former employment as a Veterinary Assistant/Kennel Attendant. My husband and I have 6 spoiled dogs and two cats that we adore. I enjoy taking my dogs for walks in the park and throwing a tennis ball for some play and exercise. I I have experience taking care of senior dogs and blind dogs. Also some grooming experience through an on line course and 150 externship hours. I am currently working full time but have weekends off. I am available afternoons Monday through Friday and am currently providing nail trims on dogs and cats. I do not do at home day care yet but I do offer dog walking and drop in visits for feeding, walking and play time.
“Jules was fantastic with my puppys. The videos and pictures during the visit were so nice. Great to know my dogs are having so much fun with someone whos loves dogs. Would absolutly ask Jules to watch the dogs or chickens anytime!”


About: Hi! I work as a Paraeducator at a school, so I have summers off and I can’t think of a better way to spend that time than caring for dogs! I’ve always been an animal lover, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup needs playtime, snuggles, walks, or just a calm and caring presence while you’re away, I’m here to help! ☺️ My schedule is pretty open during the Summer besides spending every other weekend with friends and family. Once I go back to work in September, I will only be able to house sit as long as it is in reasonable distance from my workplace. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or favorite toys and treats. I know every pet is different, so I pay attention to their personality and comfort level, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. I will also make sure to keep the home clean and secure while you’re away. I’ll give updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is always to treat your home and your pet with the same respect and love I would want for my own.

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.
