“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Rose was fantastic with our two dogs. She was attentive, caring, and clearly experienced. From the regular updates and photos to the extra time spent making sure our pups felt comfortable and loved, everything was perfect. We had to book Rose last minute before we had to leave for the hospital to have our second baby and she took the job with a short notice. Our dogs can be hyper at first, but they warmed up quickly to Rose. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and a clean space. Highly recommend Ross and will definitely be booking again!”
“Ellie did amazing with Ridley(cat). She understood how anxious he gets and familiar with the steps to keep his stress levels low. She even went as far as reaching out and checking to see if he had issues with storms and if she needed to assist with anything to help him. I really appreciate how thorough she is with her reports and how she interacts with him. So glad to have Ellie and will be booking again!!”
About: I'm an animal lover who has grown up with pets in my life since I was a kid. I grew up in rural Wisconsin so not only did we have the standard cats/dogs around but we also cared for cows and other farm animals. I'm very comfortable with helping your dog/cat take medicine as I have experience giving pills/eyedrops etc to several pets that I've looked after in the past. There's plenty of space for your pet here! We live in a 3 bedroom house with a huge unfinished basement which we use as a 38 foot X 18 foot animal play area which is especially handy on those snowy/rainy days where it's hard to get those high energy dogs outside for a good walk/run. There's also plenty of space in both the front and back yard to allow for pets to run around. The neighborhood is in a low traffic subdivision with lots of pet owners so everybody keeps an eye out for each others pets and walks are quiet and safe as there's no through traffic in the area.
“Catarina went above and beyond caring for our 12 year old dog, Seve. She is a dog whisperer and he warmed up to her so quickly. Even on rainy days she entertained him with games—it was like he got a full doggy daycare experience! Will definitely be using her a lot in the future!”
About: I owned a dog for a couple years who had a disease that required special care when eating and drinking water, he had a lot of medical needs. I became profiecent in his needs and provided great care before he passed. With that said, I have experience with taking care of dogs with special needs. I also have experience raising a puppy from very young, so I understand reactiveity in dogs and have learned different ways to calm them down or pay special attention to them during moments of high reactivity ( like during walks) I am currently work remotely from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during my day that allows me to do side quests such as rover I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog who loves playing with other dogs! so your fur baby would have a best friend to play with during the day. I can also easily crate my or your dog

About: I've grown up on a farm most of my life and babe absolutely loved animals basically since I was born, I grew up with dogs in the home and have always loved animals my entire life, I want nothing but the best for every animal. I am currently a high school senior and work part time at a pet care place, weekends are usually my time to be able to do these, but occasionally before and after school during the week can work for me as well. In my own home I have a loving puppy, and 3 wonderful kitties, as well as fish, my puppy is very friendly and loves most dogs so if you would like company for your dog on a walk he would love it, my pets stay at my parents home as I live in a no pet apartment, but I still go see them every night, I'm excited to see your wonderful fur babies
“We have house rabbits and needed someone trust worthy to bunny-sit them. I found Brianna on rover and upon doing a face to face realized she would treat my bunnies with love and respect. She listened to and agreed with me when we discussed how rabbits should never be handled by the scruff since they don't have a scruff. While we were away she came in and kept the bunnies fed, treated and clean! Both rabbits were excited when I came in the door from our trip and they asked for treats and greets. I could tell Brianna spent some time playing with them. Over all it was an unusual pet to sit and she rose to the occasion professionally and was trustworthy. I highly recommend Brianna for walking and visiting your precious furry friends anytime!”

Becky H.Star Sitter
“Becky has watched our 2 very needy cats when we have gone out of town a few times. She is an amazing pet sitter. She was able to handle giving meds to both of my girls including getting eye drops in my squirmy 12 lb cat. My one cat is really picky about who she likes and is anxious around most people, but Becky's calm and soothing nature with animals really helps her and she is big fan of Becky. I always know when Becky watches my cats that they will be loved like they are her own cats.”
