“Emily has been wonderful with Heisenberg! I am so grateful for her help. I was nervous to have a stranger take care of him, but I couldn't be happier with how well it has worked out.”
“I am a repeat client with Sarah! Sometimes house sitting and sometimes drop-ins. She never disappoints. Yesterday she came by three separate times for drop-ins providing potty breaks and play time while I had a long day away. She sent several pictures each time and provided detailed info on what all they did during the drop-in, Sarah for sure has a way to make you feel comfortable the times you need to be away from your pet.”
“Mallory was an absolute wonder to work with, she helped me feel less nervous about leaving my babies and even more as my first time using Rover. She sent me great pictures and sent personalized updates so I know she was there with them! Would absolutely recommend Mallory.”
“It was a pleasure having Kelly watch after my puppy Stormi. I received many updates, pictures and videos during her time visiting Stormi. I will definitely be booking with her in the near future. Thank you Kelly!”
“Lilly was AMAZING! Followed instructions well and gave extra attention to the girls. I like that she sent pictures of snuggle time with them and pictures that showed she was feeding, watering and cleaning the litter properly. I'm going to book her again in a few weeks!”
“I could tell our pup was very happy and comfortable with Katie. Katie was both friendly and professional. I was pleased with all of photos and regular updates we recieved. It was clear she gave our dog plenty of exercise as our dog was pooped. I will definitely be booking again.”
“I can't thank isabelle enough for all the help! She made sure my cat was well fed, hydrated and happy. She kept me posted with photos and was quick with responding back to any of my messages. She is very personable and trustworthy which made me feel confident with handing my keys to her to take care of my cat. She even went out of her way to keep my house tidy while I was away. I would highly reccomend isabelle and will be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Katie was awesome and our Luna loved her! Luna tends to be shy at first with new people but she warmed right up after a day and loved all the attention and playtime she was getting. Katie was thorough with her updates & sent great photos as well, I highly recommend and will be rebooking!”
About: I've always had pets in the house since I was little, dogs and cats mostly. I have two of my own dogs, trained them both when they were puppies. I also volunteered at the Wisconsin Humane Society for 8 years, I was a dog walker, which entailed cleaning rooms, walking them, feeding them, playing with them, etc. Always had so much fun seeing all the types of dogs coming in. I'm currently working full time but I normally work the same days, shifts varies from week to week. But I would like to add more fun to my life and not so strict with work work work. So I would love to add more Rover days to my weeks as time goes on. I have a fully fenced yard, plenty of space in the yard and in the house. I have baby gates to rooms that don't need to be entered and at the top of some of our steps to prevent falls. Always pay attention any unusual signs that the pet might be in distressed. Also aware of little things as I come across them with the fur babies.
“Mary is amazing! My pup is my everything and he is in the best care with Mary. She gives a great update with how the visits go! We are beyond lucky to have her in our life!!”
About: I’m nurturing, detail-oriented, and patient, with a calm, animal-led approach. I build trust with shy or anxious pets and treat every animal like family. I’ve helped raise a dog, currently have three cats, and know how to tune into each pet’s unique personality. I always provide photo updates and prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. While I don’t administer medications, I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I care for my three cats and enjoy spending my evenings walking dogs or doing drop-ins. Caring for animals fits perfectly into my routine. I spend my evenings providing walks and drop-ins, and I’m always tending to my own three cats.
About: My unconditional love for all animals. Every cat or dog that I meet I treat and cherish as if they were my own fur baby. I do work a full time job, 8-4 Mon-Fri. However, I am looking to use some of my free time taking care of your fur baby! I do my best to maintain whatever routine you have with your fur baby. I am willing to go the extra mile to make your pup feel safe and comfortable while you are away.
“Tess did a great job checking in on my dog while I was at work. She was available on short notice and came over to meet him before the visits. She communicated well and gave me good updates!”
About: I grew up with pets my whole life - ferrets, fish, cats, and primarily bigger dog breeds (cocker spaniels and Labradors). I'm the kind of person who will show up to a party and hang out with your dog instead of the people for 3 hours. It is a given that I love animals, and ever since I moved from my family after covid, I am not able to have a long-term pet in my living situation. I do sometimes take care of my neighbors cat, however I'd like to spend more time with dogs as they are my favorite. I currently work doing pizza delivery around 30+ hours a week. I can come home once or twice a shift between deliveries, but Id say that your pet needs to be comfortable being alone for at **LEAST** 4 hours at any given time. I've already had issues with a clients dog not handling my schedule well and damaging property as a result -- so I need to be clear on this. I am not home 24/7, but I can try my best. I also prefer a minimum 2 day notice for requests. You can still attempt to request boarding if its last minute, I get it, life happens. But I cannot guarantee a confirmation on anything less than 2 days. I have a fenced in backyard and currently no other animals or people in my home. I can provide a safe and comfortable living space for a dog. I do not mind if they are on my furniture or if they want to sleep in my bed at night.
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience working at a kennel, where I cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I regularly pet sit for friends and family, and I’m also a proud dog mom to two large pups of my own. To me, pets are family—and I’ll care for yours with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. I’m extremely responsible, detail-oriented, and highly communicative, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’m especially safety-focused during walks, drop-ins, and boarding—I’ll closely monitor your pet to make sure they’re secure, content, and well cared for at all times. I also have experience with senior dogs and pets with medical needs, and I’m comfortable administering medication when needed. You can trust that your pet will be in kind, capable, and attentive hands. I’m currently working full-time from home, allowing me the flexibility to care for your pet through the day when boarding. For drop-ins/walks, I’m usually available midday and from 4PM-8AM. I will provide transparent expectations prior to booking to ensure I’m the right fit for you. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I require a meet and greet for the pets prior to any in-home boarding to make sure all dogs are comfortable. Pending your needs, I’m happy to crate your dog when needed. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy and relaxed during our time together.

Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out, Brooke gives him so much attention and affection. We trust her completely—she’s not just a sitter, she’s part of Rocky’s extended family. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet caregiver.”
River Bend pet parents share their Rover experiences
Michele took such fabulous care of our babies! They can be shy with new friends, but warmed up to Michele so quickly - especially rare for our reserved calico. Rover cards were detailed and the photos were so cute! Highly recommend if you are seeking someone who will care for your pets like their own.
This is our second time booking with Emily, and we’ve loved her so much that we’ve referred friends to her who confirm the same sentiment: She is just fantastic at what she does. Her experience with young children as an elementary school teacher certainly translates to being phenomenal with furry friends! We were concerned that our shy calico would hide, but she was happily making friends within a few visits. Rover reports were detailed (and so sweet!) each day. Cannot continue recommending Emily enough!
Katie was phenomenal! She took great care of our three cats while we were away. She sent regular, detailed updates about how our cats were doing and sent pictures. This was our first trip away from our pets but I felt better knowing Katie was there to care for them. We will definitely rebook with Katie in the future. Thank you!
Alexandra came to walk my dog on short notice when I had an unexpectedly busy day, and he came home with a huge doggy smile on his face. I was home so got to greet her at the door and she is very pleasant and friendly. Will definitely be using her for future pet care!!
