About: I've taken care of a variety of dogs since I was very young. I grew up with labs and I am very comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I took care of my yellow lab/retriever mix, Blue, for so many years; taking her on long walks, giving her baths, making sure she got along with our neighbor dogs. I also helped out taking care of my neighbor dogs from time to time. After my dog died at the age of 15, my family didn't think we would get another dog. 7 years ago, we got a new puppy, his name is Brooks, and he is a yellow lab. He is very different than our old dog. He has lots of energy, he has ran away a couple times but always came back or we found him, and we lived on 2 acres of land so that helped. He is our first inside dog, so he loves cuddles, treats, sleeping, playing catch and sneaking downstairs where he is not supposed to be. I have lots of experience with dogs and I appreciate and love them very much! I am currently working at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse, so I have the summer off. During the school year, I have Fridays off and I am done by 3pm the other days. On Mondays and Wednesdays I have slower mornings. I can help out throughout the day and on weekends. I live in an apartment building but there is an area with lots of grass and next to the building and around the area. My building doesn’t allow pets so I am not able to house pets at my place, but I can always talk to my landlord.
About: I have taken care of my own dog as well as taken family friends dogs on walks and runs. I am currently training for a half marathon, so if your dogs loves long runs or long walks I would love to help them get outside and exercise. I currently am working part time on top of school. Most days I can take dogs on a walk or run in the morning to later afternoon! I currently live in an apartment where pets are not allowed, so for now I will stick to taking dogs on walks and runs whether that’s around a safe neighborhood or at a park.

“Sara did a great job with our boys. Theo's shots (diabetic) can be a bit intimidating, at first, and she handled them beautifully. In addition, Louie is quite wary of new people and by mid-week his photos show that he's comfortable enough to come out and supervise what she was doing. We'll undoubtedly be booking future visits and would absolutely recommend Sara to anyone who's looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. Ive dealt with multiple dogs at once, all with different personalities. From shy, energetic, to reactive. I have done everything from daily walks, to overnight stays for clients. Handling the different routines. Another plus is that I grew up fostering dogs, so I have experience with a lot of different breeds creating a very patient and observant demeanor. I am currently working part-time and looking for some extra work. My availability is pretty flexible as long as you are as well! I can either do stop by's for walks once a day, or a multiple day care schedule, with 2-4 hours of being out of the house. I'd love to chat and work something out! When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, and any house rules. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of bathroom breaks, and safe, supervised time outside. I spend quality time with each pet, whether that means playing, training practice, gentle cuddles, or just giving them company so they don’t feel alone. It is all about respect and I respect your home also respect your home, treating your space the same way I’d want mine treated.
“We were relieved to see how much Amber cared for our pup while we were out of town! She did drop-in visits for us and was sure to give our pup lots of attention and love. We enjoyed getting updates including photos that showed how much our pup loved her.”


About: I have always grown up with a dog and find them to be a lot of fun! I would love to bring a dog along for evening walks or stop in to check on them. I have experience caring for dogs to make sure they are taken care of for the weekend. I am a college student and my schedule this summer will be fairly flexible. I am free most evenings and normally throughout the day as well. I have a lot of experience in others peoples homes, as I babysit and have dog sat for numerous families in my community. I will be respectful and responsible if entering your home and when taking care of your furry family member.
About: Every since I was young I would walk dogs for friends and family. Once I finally turned 18 I was able to work for a doggie daycare! Talk about dream come true! Hey pet parents, I promise to always do my best when having your fur child/children under my care ❤️ (I also would like to mention that the rates are high because this app only gives a very small percent of what you pay) I don’t mind long walks, and trips to the park! Snuggles and movies work too 🩵 I can provide any needed service for your fur baby/ babies! (I also would like to mention that the rates are high because this app only gives a very small percent of what you pay)
About: Grew up on a farm with lots of cats and dogs. I have a 15-year-old border collie mix that can no longer go for long walks. Hoping for the opportunity to take some other pups on walks too! I work as a nurse, so I am more than willing to administer medications and injections. Being that I have an elderly dog myself, I am no stranger to senior care or special needs. I currently work as a nurse full-time, but I am available after 5 pm to help with taking your dog out or checking in on your kitty. I am available most weekends as well. I cannot offer pet boarding, but I am willing to check in on your furry family members! I am always willing to lend a hand when life gets busy. Although my background is in human care, I can administer CPR, medications, and injections. Just let me know!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have taken care of them since I was young! I love them way more than people. I am counting down till I can have my own little pack of dogs. I’m used to dogs that pull on leashes, but it’s a plus when they’re an easy walker :) I currently am in college so whenever I don’t have classes I am completely free! Once a month for one weekend I work on a military base, but other than that I would love to spend my time with a pup! I am willing to do whatever to keep your dog’s routine normal. I am used to crate training, routine dog walks, etc. No judgement from me :)
About: I currently have a 1 year old husky puppy who is as sweet as can be. I grew up with several Shetland sheepdogs, miniature poodles, and other small critters. I have also spent countless time volunteering at dog rescues. At these rescues, I have helped with medication administration, socialization, and worked with puppies-senior dogs. Monday through Friday any night after 5:00pm I can be available. I currently work 7:30-4:00. On the weekends, I am completely free for whatever you pets may need. In my home, my dog currently sleeps in bed with me, is free roaming throughout the day. With daily walks and trips to our dog park. In your home, I will respect whatever rules and requests you may have. I get everyone views training, socialization, and other factors differently. I will do my best to respect your needs and keep your furry one company whenever you need an extra eye.
About: I’ve spent the past two years dog-sitting for several families, caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I handle walking, feeding, playtime, and grooming, making sure each dog feels happy, safe, and loved. I also helped organize a dog adoption event at my hometown dog park to promote responsible pet care and help puppies find forever homes. I’m a college student with weekends free, so I can dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m flexible and happy to follow your pet’s routine to make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away. I follow all care instructions closely, supervise pets at all times, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home. I provide regular feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection to keep pets relaxed and stress-free. I treat every pet like family and work to create a calm, loving environment while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates to ensure peace of mind.
About: Growing up I have always cared for pets. Ranging from rats to cats and dogs! I have also worked for 2 years at a doggy daycare center.

I have always had a love for animals and am will to take care of them at any chance I get. I work hard in ensure a safe environment for all of my clients as well as my own pets. Safety always comes first and is my top priority.
“Lauren was very helpful, caring, punctual and was a great communicator for her drop in visits for my cat! She literally went the extra mile and walked up my snowy icy driveway when her car couldn’t make it up! My cat is a bit standoffish with new people, but he warmed up to her after just one visit! I will definitely be requesting Lauren to help out with my cat in the future!”

“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: Growing up with two dogs and a kitten sparked my lifelong love for animals. While I’m not yet in a position to adopt a pet of my own, my partner and I both grew up surrounded by furry friends and deeply miss the snuggles, walks, and unconditional love we shared with them back in our hometown. Caring for your pets would be a wonderful way for us to fill that space and share our love for animals! My partner and I both work full-time in professional roles Monday through Friday, but my workplace is conveniently close to home. This allows me the flexibility to take lunches and breaks as needed, ensuring I can meet your pet care needs with reliability and attention. I currently don’t have any pets in my apartment, but I live in a pet-friendly home with a backyard (unfenced) and easy access to nearby trails for walks, if that’s something your pet enjoys. I’m very relaxed when it comes to pet preferences—pets are welcome on furniture and even in bed with me! I’m happy to be flexible and follow your specific directions to ensure your pet feels right at home.
About: I grew up with many different dog breeds. I can administer medication, feedings, walking, running, and give them all the potty breaks in the world. I love all animals and will treat yours like my own. I’m currently working part time and out of school for the summer. I’ll be free during night time routines or early morning walks and all day on my days off. I follow specific instructions for your fur baby and keep him or her safe and cared for during my time with them. If they need to be crated before I have to leave, that will be done. They will also be given any enrichment that you had planned.
Onalaska dog parents share their Rover experiences
It goes to show how passionately focused you are, since you noticed she slows down at the end of her walk. I noticed that too. She is 9 years old and I do not walk her enough. Thank you so very much for caring for her as detailed as you do. Because of that I never hesitate to reach out and ask for your help. LuCee absolutely loves her time with you!!

Annie did they drop in feeding and walk both dinner and next day breakfast for my two border collies. She also agreed to come for a meet and greet prior. My pets loved her and she did a phenomenal job. I’ve already recommended her to a friend and would absolutely use her again. I would happy to be a reference if need be.
