About: I've worked with dogs of all ages and I've learned caring for them is about more than just meeting their basic needs—it’s about giving them love, attention, and a happy, fulfilling life. From daily walks and playtime to nutritious meals, I make sure they feel safe and well-cared for. Senior dogs need a little extra TLC, like cozy resting spots, joint support, and gentle exercise to keep them comfortable, and I’m always ready to give them the care they deserve. No matter their age, every dog should feel loved, secure, and looked after like family. I am currently a full-time college student but I am home for the summer and have a pretty open schedule and would love to help take care of your pups! Caring for pets in someone else’s home means providing them with comfort, routine, and the same love they’re used to while their owner is away. I make sure they feel safe and cared for by sticking to their regular schedule, giving them plenty of attention, and keeping their space clean and familiar. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just some quiet companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to ensure they’re happy and stress-free so their owners can have peace of mind.
About: As a dedicated and compassionate dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by providing personalized attention to meet each dog’s unique needs. My experience includes working with puppies, training them in basic commands and routines, and caring for senior dogs who require extra patience, gentle handling, and sometimes medication administration, as well as previous shelter dogs who need a little extra love. I believe in creating a safe, comfortable, and joyful environment, making sure each dog feels right at home. With a deep love for animals and an understanding of canine behavior, I’m committed to giving your pet the best experience possible, filled with playtime, exercise, and lots of affection. Additionally, I have a certification from Fear Free Shelters care program! I am currently working part-time and going to school full-time. My schedule is often changing, but I will keep my calendar updated and am happy to be flexible with your pets’ needs! I provide personalized pet care in your home, ensuring your furry friend feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your established routines, including feeding schedules, exercise, and playtime, while also offering companionship and attention. During my visits, I engage your pet with activities that suit their needs, whether that’s a long walk, interactive play, or some quiet cuddle time. I also keep a close eye on their health and well-being, reporting any concerns back to you. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well-cared for while you’re away.
“Emily took such good care of my cats while I was out of town for a few days. My cats really seemed to like her too!! She followed all care instructions left, even the silly ones. I would 100% book with her again if I needed someone to watch my cats. Thanks again, Emily!!”
“Michelle has been excellent ! We are so fortunate our Mabel had such awesome care and attention . We felt very comfortable having Michelle in our home and spending time with our best girl ! I highly recommend Michelle to anyone who loves their pet(s) and wants the security of knowing they are loved and cared for 1,000% of the time . I was nervous to use Rover as I am first time user . Michelle made it so easy and comfortable .”
“Heidi was great with our cat Sarge while we were away! I was confident he was in good hands. She helped administer his medications too and he was very happy all around when we got home. We will definitely rebook with her next time we go on a trip!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 7+ years, from tiny Chihuahuas to large Rottweilers. I’ve trained my own puppies and my sister’s too, so I know how to handle all ages and energy levels with patience and care. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable approach and genuine love for animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or drop-ins, I treat every dog like my own! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I only work Monday and Tuesday mornings, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week to focus on walks and drop-in visits. I love spending my free time with animals, and I’m available for both regular and last-minute bookings. I only provide care in clients’ homes or during walks, ensuring pets stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and prioritize safety—whether it’s using secure leashes, keeping a close eye during walks, or making sure doors and gates are properly closed. Building trust with both pets and their owners is my top priority, and I treat every home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own.
“Dan took great care of my cat while I was away. He asked great questions about care and send me daily updates and pictures which was comforting. I would definitely book Dan again!”
“Jasmyn really helped us have a piece of mind while away this last weekend! She was great at giving updates & we had no issues with both our energetic golden & cat! She was very attentive & sweet. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Meaghan was amazing! Our cat warmed right up to her and was clearly well taken care of. She went out of her way to make sure that our cat had everything extra clean, tidy and well stocked every day. She even got her to come out from under the bed on the first day. I can’t recommend her enough and I know that Meaghan would take care of anyone’s pet like her own.”
About: I have had all kinds of dog breeds while growing up as a child. They are such sweet pets to have. I have one senior dog of my own named moose, he's a chocolate Lab mix, and one German Shepherd named Phoebe. Plenty of walking experience, medication experience, and lots of love for dogs. I used to watch animals for neighbors, feeding them, walks, and play time. I am currently working Full time, however with it being Summer I have more free-time on my hands. I love animals of all kinds, and being outside is wonderful. I think this is a great opportunity to make some new furry friends as well as save up. I take my dogs out for walks as much as I can, they love swimming and going to the beach. So I could definitely do that with your dogs. As well play with them (fetch, tug o' war, etc).
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and birds since I was 12 years old. Neighbors, friends and family relied on me to walk and feed their pets. I also worked for a veterinarian for about 2 years and I am currently going to school to become a veterinary technician. I have a 1 1/2-year-old dog that I am currently training her to be a therapy dog. I am available 7 days a week while working full-time Monday thru Friday. I’ll be able to pet sit in your home. Check out my calendar to see what days I’m not currently booked. In my clients' homes, I give the animals all of my attention and follow any special directions the client leaves for me. I am a firm believer in leaving things better than how I found them, so I am always sure to clean up, lock up, use common sense, and follow proper & appropriate protocol and instruction.

Racine dog parents share their Rover experiences
Samira did a great job with our pup, who struggles with anxiety, is geriatric, and has a few health issues. We had a pretty emotionally loaded event to attend and the last thing we needed was to worry about our dog! Thank you for being 100% caring, trustworthy, and professional!!
