“Madalyn is amazing! She does a very good job taking care of my boys while im away for work. She follows instructions extremely well, and the follow ups is excellent! I highly recommend Madalyn for your fur babies!”

“Your Review Michelle Z. took care of my two cats, one of which is totally blind. I knew the first time I met Michelle, she was the right person for the job, but she far exceeded my expectations. She helped me troubleshoot getting rid of uninvited guests to the food bowls, volunteered to come for extra visits when the need arose, washed out the wet food cans before throwing in the recyclable bin and she kept the house, the floors, the litter boxes and the food bowls spic-and-span. I highly recommend Michelle, and will request her in the future, Lee R.”

“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 have one dog and one cat that tend to stay upstairs. I absolutely love animals, So I hope to have my own little hobby farm one day. If your pet is in my home, please know they’ll always feel loved, safe and most likely tired out from all out walks. I believe humans and animals benefit from exercise which helps with behavior, same for humans. So bring your pup to me, and they’ll be tired for you:) Also, I have a special place in my heart for special-needs animals that need a little extra love and patience. I have been doing dog-watching for the past four years, in addition to working part-time for 10 years. I work at a school right down the road, which is perfect for dog watching. I leave at 7am, and I’m back by 11am each day. I do boarding, play dates, pickups, drop-ins, and trips to the dog park. I have a fenced-in yard, so your dog may play, run, or simply get some fresh air. I spend my time walking dogs, feeding them, playing, cuddling, kisses, relaxing on the porch and constantly opening and closing the door so they can go outside. Ha! It’s my life, and I truly love it.
About: I’ve taken care of French bulldogs since I was 16 years old. I tend bond quickly with animals and have patience with animals that are aggressive or overly anxious. I’ve good with cats and dogs, as well as exotic pets like ferret's. I am currently working a full time job, and am also a college student dispite this I am quite good about time management. I care for my own cat and frequently help out with my sisters dogs that need to be walked and watched. When previously working for her I take the dogs for average of 3 walks one in the morning, then afternoon, then night. When it comes to pet care I will be able to do basically anything needed. If an animals needs to be put in the crate I am easily able to do so. If a pet were to get dirty I am good with cleaning if needed. I am a very determined individual who can cut stubborn animals nails if needed, but I also am good with animals who have issues. As I have experience with owning an aggressive dog myself.

About: Hi! I’m Kassie. I’ve always loved animals and have spent years caring for pets of my own, as well as helping family and friends with theirs. I recently worked as a Client Service Representative at a veterinary clinic, where I spent every day interacting with dogs, cats, and their owners. That experience strengthened my understanding of animal behavior, the importance of routine, and how to help pets feel comfortable in unfamiliar situations. I also have experience maintaining aquariums, so if you have fish, I’d be happy to care for them too. I’m comfortable feeding fish, checking equipment, top off water if requested, perform basic maintenance according to your instructions, and helping keep aquatic pets healthy while you’re away. At home, I have two spoiled cats who mean the world to me, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, aquarium care, or medication exactly as you’ve instructed, I’ll care for them with patience, kindness, and the same attention I’d give my own pets. I’m currently available on short notice and have a flexible schedule, so I’m happy to help with last-minute bookings whenever I can. I’ll also send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m currently available with a flexible schedule, so I can often accommodate weekday, evening, weekend, and even last-minute bookings. Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I enjoy making sure every pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit or a longer stay, I’ll make sure your pets are well cared for while you’re away. I know every pet has their own routine, so I always do my best to keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box care, playtime, or aquarium maintenance. I’ll respect your home, keep you updated with messages and photos, and treat your pets with the same patience and care I give my own.

About: I used to foster animals, and I am an animal/ wildlife photographer In my spare time. I grew up with animals and love hanging out with them. I am currently working part time and have extra days to care for your pets :) I love animals - I am a wildlife/ animal photographer in my spare time. I have a lot of grassy area and walking space to take dogs out and a cozy environment for your animals to relax in while visiting.
“Shawn was super nice and friendly and helped my wife and I out by checking in on our 3 cats while we were out of town. He made sure they were all fed, two of them got their medication with their meal and that they had clean litter boxes. Shawn communicates great and provides photos with a quick description of how the check-in went. We will gladly book Shawn again when we need a cat sitter!”

About: Hello! My name is Elena, and I specialize in caring for dogs of all backgrounds—including rescues, seniors, and pets with unique needs. As the owner of three rescue dogs myself, I understand that every pup has their own personality, history, and comfort level. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with: Recognizing stress, fear, and anxiety cues Supporting dogs with behavioral quirks or anxieties Providing consistent routines, medication if needed, and patient care When I care for your pet, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect timely communication, photo updates, and a sitter who truly respects the bond you share with your furry family member. Your pets will be cared for as if they were my own—because I know how much trust it takes to leave them with someone new. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to provide consistent and reliable care for your furry friend. As a nursing student, I have honed my skills in time management, responsibility, and compassionate care, which seamlessly translate into my pet care services. Ensuring the safety, trust, and well-being of pets is paramount. In my home, I maintain a pet-proofed environment with secure locks and designated safe zones, ensuring cleanliness and comfort with regular cleaning and a consistent schedule of feeding, walks, and enrichment activities. Health monitoring is a priority, with regular checks for signs of illness and immediate veterinary attention if needed.
“Jamie went above and beyond what I was expecting. She went the extra mile and showed him new commands and kept me updated in depth with every visit. I highly recommend her and will use her services again soon.”

“I wasn't sure what to expect from my two.. but everything was great! I love the pics and the "bathroom" updates. Joe is great with the "big one..Seamus" and the "little one" warmed up after she realized Joe had food...lol!”

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.
“Jahaira is super on top of everything and makes travel easy - so glad to have found her! She has watched our guinea pigs multiple times and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy & healthy. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to rest assured that their pets are in caring hands.”
About: I’ve had my oldest dog since I was 5 and my second since i was 7. I have been taking care of them since I was a kid and love meeting new pets! I am currently working part-time only a few days a week so I am available a lot during the week and especially during the weekends. I have a fence in my backyard and gates to block the spaces between so they don’t try to squeeze in between them. I also have a camera in my backyard to check before I take them outside.
About: I have always had dogs & loved them since I was born. My parents would travel a lot & I would stay and take care of my dogs, I even helped care for and raise 2 litters of puppies! When my siblings, friends, or family friends are out of town, I am always asked to take care of their dogs. I now have an 8 month old puppy of my own, & he is treated like a prince. I have taken him, and my family dog both to training classes, so have experience there. I think I am considered over others to watch people's pets because of how much they know I genuinely care for animals. I ensure their dogs are fed and watered at a timely manner, loved on/cuddled, and happily exercised. I have always had a special bond with all dog breeds and almost all animals, and promise to provide quality care for anyone's dogs/pet :). Pet care naturally fits into my daily/weekly routine, as I have a dog of my own as well. I currently have a job at a bar/restaurant, however I am only working most weekends. This leaves most of my week days quite open. I have used most of this time doing fun things with my own dog, so I thought "why not do fun things with other dogs that need the care?". How do you care for pets in your home and/or your client's home? This will vary depending on which service you offer. Of course caring for pets will vary based on the home, but in my own, I have a fenced in yard with a large amount of space for them to run around in and play. Inside my house I have a cozy living room in which we can hangout in, and a mud room to wipe paws and eat breakfast and dinner and drink water. For another's home, I would abide by their pet rules and use the space they have to maximize my time with their pet/s. Along with this, I am more than willing to take their pets for walks, or even to the dog park if they would like.

About: Hi, I’m Stella! A reliable, active, and genuinely attentive pet sitter who wants your dog or cat to feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. I’m the type of person who will happily spend extra time playing, going on a walk, giving belly rubs, or just hanging out with your pet if that’s what they need. I know every animal has their own personality and routine, so I’m big on following their normal schedule rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m especially comfortable with active dogs who enjoy getting outside, but I’m equally happy spending a quiet afternoon with a cat who would rather observe everything from the couch. I’ll keep you updated with photos and little check-ins so you know your pet is doing well while you’re gone. My goal is simple: you get to enjoy your time away without worrying about your pet, and they get to have a fun, comfortable time too. If your pet is looking for someone dependable, attentive, and actually excited to spend time with them, I’d love to meet them! 🐾 I am self employed with my own personal training business, so I have a relatively flexible schedule! I am able to pop in every few hours if needed, and am more than happy to get some walks in for both your dog and myself. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment where they can feel right at home. I keep routines consistent—mealtimes, walks, play—and give lots of love and attention. I closely monitor their behavior and health. You’ll also get regular photo and video updates, so you always know they’re safe and happy. Lastly, I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations.

About: I grew up with pets, I have 3 dogs my oldest one is 11. I watch over a friend's dogs as of right now. I'll be able to walk your dog however long you would need me to and make sure they have water and are fed if needed. If there's any messes I see around I'll clean them up. My friend has a cat and I love going over to his house to pet her. she's grown a liking to me and I have to her as well, I give her treats time to time and pet her a lot. I don't know how to clean a litter box. but I can definitely give your cat some quality time and play, feed the cat and make sure they have water. I always make sure my pets have water, especially after a walk or if it's a hot day out. Love to play with my dogs and lay with them in the couch.
About: I raised a Siberian Husky and a St. Bernard/ Shepard for about 5 years until I separated. I have I have had experiences with friendly giants like Great Dane and Mastiffs all the way down to littles like Frechies and also cats. I’ve also have experience working in a doggy daycares, overnight boarding daycares and an Emergency Vet Hospital. I’ve had hands on and off training from dog trainers while working. I currently live in Mount Pleasant. My daughter is 13 years old, also a gentle giant herself. She has a lot of experience with specifically dogs of large and medium sized. She is looking to make some extra money so she can go to Disney World with her choir group at the end of the year! If you and your pets are comfortable with my daughter assisting with walks and cares, you would be a big part of her milestone with her first job! If this isn’t something you’re comfortable with, that is still okay! I will come alone with the extra care and love I promised! Pet care fits into my schedule for mornings and nights. I work a 3-8pm schedule right now. Summer will change to 6am-11am. It also fits because my daughter loves the animals she cares for and she’s good at it, of course with supervision:) I love to spend my time with pets and my 12 year old daughter as she says “can we get a dog”, this would be a heart start for her! My pets weren’t really on a schedule. They were free fed because they are picky and spoiled. We went for walks whether it’s a short walk or a 35 min walk around the neighborhood because I did have high energy dogs. I do not have a fenced in yard so we do have a leash. They would get bathed about twice a month in my own home. Unfortunately, my husky had passed away so we are down to one.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Racine
Pete was Awesome!!! Fist off, my dogs are rescues. They have idiosyncrasies (lol). Taffy puts up defences when meeting new people. So much so, that two prior interviewees turned down the offer. Peter, who is a gentle giant, won her over during the interview. Not with his giantness, but his amazing gentleness. Usually it takes some time for Taffy to trust someone, but she found something in Peter to trust right away! The rest of the week went incredibly smoothly. I got texts every evening (he offered photos but i declined). Both Tanka and Taffy assumed "Belly Rub" positions once Peter arrived. I heard such great reports that when I got home, I had to tearfully sit down with them and ask if they would rather go and live with Peter. Just kidding, I couldn't ask that question for fear of the answer!! When I came home, my doges were normal. Not filled with fear, anxiety, depression or anything that separation might cause. That means Peter did not just feed, water, and let them outside. He gave them loving care in my absence. He treated them as I would treat them. That is the sign of an excellent caretaker!! He will always take care of my dogs, dean

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Racine choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
