“Valerie took Kodak on some adventures this week! She’s so flexible and willing to try new things to keep our puppy entertained and happy. She took him swimming at a lake and some public lands for new scenery. Valerie is proactive and super informed about our pets needs and health. Kodak loves hanging with her :)”

“Giovana is amazing! She still took our pup out when it was raining and dried her when they got back instead of cancelling since I was out of town. I highly recommend her!!!”

“FANTASTIC! Thrilled to see in our first meeting how she controls and trains during the walk which is much needed for my very excited pup. Tabitha has been a great communicator & timely. Great pics and walk recaps. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I've already booked her for more walks.”

About: We just lost our beloved Pitbull of 10 years in December. While not ready to own a new dog, I would love to be around them! I’m very active and would love to take your dog for a nice long walk and give them all the pets and snuggles needed! I’m currently a stay at home mom and have a lot of time during the day to hang with your pet! I am typically home all day. We live on 5 acres but do not have a fence. Our dog was trained to stay in the yard. We have a long tie out for dogs if they do not stay in the yard.

“My Dad’s dog, David (yes, that’s the dog name bestowed upon him by the shelter!), just had his first walk with Maddie. My Dad said Maddie was very friendly and David enjoyed his walk!! Maddie responded to my request for this walk right away and has been easy to work with. I appreciate her understanding in that I’m coordinating these walks for my Dad. So far so good!! We are happy with Maddie and will continue to have her walk David!”

About: I've grown up with dogs and have hands-on experience caring for all ages, from puppies to senior pets. I’ve done puppy sitting for friends, currently volunteer with Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue, and previously volunteered at the local Humane Society. As a pre-vet student at UW-River Falls, I’m passionate about animal care and always provide safe, loving attention to every pet I meet. I also trained 4 service dogs through the FETCH program through Can Do Canines for one year. As a college student, I’m excited to fit in walks and drop-ins between classes or after classes, and I’m also available on Saturdays for a couple of visits or walks. I have another job other than walking dogs and doing check-ins, so I work around those hours as well. I’m happy to care for dogs and cats for drop-ins or on walks, no matter their age—always making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: I’ve had pets all my life and have fostered many puppies and dogs over the years. I have experience in puppy training, high anxiety dogs, shy dogs, active dogs and seniors. I work from home and am home 24/7. We have lots of playtime outside in the backyard especially when the weather is nice. I have lots of toys, a doggy pool and a yard to play in! I have a 5ft fully fenced in yard that allows my dogs to get lots of playtime, including a doggy pool. I am home all day so your pet will not be left alone.

About: I’ve worked at a dog daycare and boarding before and have experience with dogs of different sizes and care needs. I love getting to know all sorts of dogs! I currently have an open schedule and am very flexible. I have lots of availability to look after dogs! Just message me for more details! I love playing with dogs and will make sure your dog is well taken care of when you get home! I can handle all different types of dogs and their personalities.

About: I have worked in a veterinary clinic since the summer of 2023. I am currently a pre vet student at the University of Wisconsin River Falls. Hoping to grow more and get more experience with animals doing this. Let me know if you have any questions! I am currently a full time student at the University of Wisconsin River Falls in the pre vet program and am looking for some extra experiences! I am always willing to get whatever the animal is in need of, love being outside with animals and getting them exercise, I have experience working in a veterinary clinic since clinic with many dogs, cats, and a few rabbits. I have dog sat for many friends and family members in the past.

About: I've grown up with dogs in the household and currently have 2 in the house. I have fostered dogs, including puppies in the past, all of which were adopted out. I have been put in charge to watch other families and friends dogs while they are away. I do work 2 other jobs but have free time that I would love to spend with animals. This job is something that would bring me joy and help me not miss my dogs at home when I am not living there. I live on a quiet street with a nice backyard and a fence on both sides of the house to separate us from the neighbors.

About: I've taken care of or helped take care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager. I have now also helped with basic care duties for sheep, chickens, and horses since starting with Rover. I work from home so rest assured your animals will have me around for most of if not all hours of the day. Working remotely provides flexibility to accommodate all schedules! By me coming to you, it helps keep your animals more comfortable in their own space. If I am not available for house sitting during the dates you are looking for we could certainly chat about drop in options. I follow your routine! Walks, bed times, feedings, etc I try to make your dogs routine as normal as possible as to not create stress while you're gone. I do my best to stay in contact every day with photo/video updates as this is what I would hope for if someone else was caring for my dog.

About: I have had pets of all sorts my whole life and can't imagine life without them! Time with pets is well spent! I was a dog groomer for over 10 years and loved spiffing up the pups! I have patience and a good understanding of personalities, behaviors, and temperaments. I recently lost both of my beloved companions and would love to be able to help you with your pet care needs. I am very flexible with my schedule so most anytime works for me:) I am not working at the moment and recently lost both of my sweet dogs and both of my wonderful cats. I am an Occupational Therapist/Health Coach and may work in the area again in the future, but for the time being I would love to give some dogs my extra love and attention. I'm very flexible with my schedule so most any time works for me. I will take your pups for walks and give them some good play time. I have about 2 1/2 acres that is not fenced, but dogs would never be unattended. I would walk them on a leash and if they are well behaved can have a little freedom in the back yard to play ball/frisbee etc. Dogs will have freedom to walk around if my home when I am there, but I also have a large kennel I can use for bedtime or for their comfort if they prefer that.

About: I'm Sara and I love dogs and I'm at my happiest when I'm with pups. Rover allows me to meet and take care of a wide variety of dogs from different breeds to sizes to personalities! I have one pup named Lucky. As you will read in my reviews, he has met many different breeds and ages of dogs over the years and loves making new friends. I know how hard it can be to be away from your furry friends. It can often be stressful and daunting to not only leave them with a stranger, but find someone you trust to care for your loved one. I am dependable, reliable, fun and loving and I will make sure to stay in constant and consistent communication with pet owners. I care for each dog who stays at my home as my own, which means total spoilage, lots of kisses and tons of cuddles. I'm home by 4pm M-Thursday and home by 11am on Fridays. Have a flexible schedule to be able to run home at lunch for potty breaks. I have a private fenced in backyard and will only take your pup or pups during the stay. For crate trained dogs, I have access to a few different size crates or feel free to provide your own.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life! I grew up on a farm and have experience caring for lots of different animals. I currently have a very friendly 5 year old, cattle dog mix, named Wilson! I am familiar with high energy dogs, and lazier ones! I work from home, so have very open availability. My normal working hours are 7-3. I can normally make any time work! Available most weekends as well! I have a fur baby of my own that can keep your animal company. Animals are always supervised! I treat all animals like they are part of the family. They can make themselves and home and are allowed on the couch, if that’s their style!

About: I've had pets (dogs of all sizes, cats, fish) since I was 7. I currently have a dog of my own. I've trained her. I am always happy to watch, play, feed, bathe, and walk dogs. I am a stay-at-home dog owner, which means taking care of your dog is my main priority! Doggy day care and boarding is always available. I usually accept all dogs. I only refuse service if the dog has previously bit me and/or continued aggression. I have one very friendly female dog (spayed) who loves to make new friends and spend time with old ones. I keep dogs typically in the living area, uncaged. I only cage dogs if the owner requests it, and in a different room from the other dogs. I do have another helper (my fiance), as he also enjoys dogs very much. My walking route is usually around Glen Park, I change it up as needed to boost the adventure for your dog(s). **Water will ALWAYS be available and replenished for your dog(s). Food schedule based.**

About: Hello! I have always loved dogs and grew up with them, but couldn’t wait to get one of my own. My husband and I adopted our dog 8 years ago. Our dog likes to be near but doesn’t like to cuddle, so bonus points if your pup wants to cuddle with me! For dog boarding, we’d love to have your dog join us for the evening. Our default is to keep our dog and yours separate, but if you want them to interact just let us know that is okay! Our twins (6 years old) love dogs and are used to them, but if you do not want your pup interacting with them, just let me know. For dog walking during daytime hours, I have quite a bit of flexibility while my kids are at school! My kids are in Kindergarten so I have a lot of time for your pet while they are at school! I would leave your house at end of school and spend time/dinner with my family before heading back to your house. I have a fenced in yard and a crate inside our house. I will default to keeping our dogs separate unless you have a larger dog that you say will want to play, and I will always feed dogs separately.

About: I’ve had all kinds of pets growing up ranging from lizards, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, frogs companion animals, and many more. I’m currently a student at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, studying animal science, hoping to pursue a career as a veterinarian. I have a very diverse background in animal care. I’ve spent many hours working in veterinary hospitals, shelters, and farms. I’ve experienced working with animals, big and small and not afraid to take on your challenging but loving animals. I’m very dependable and flexible and always strive to bring the best care your animals. As stated before, I’m currently a student looking for more animal experience. Doing so will allow me to use my skills to provide a better experience for your animals. Not only that but creating bonds with not only you and your animals will allow me to connect true bonds with both clients. As someone who’s owned and taken care of many pets, I’ve learned the quirks of owning animals. Well, providing a fun experience for your animals I’m well aware of the safety concerns of taking care of animals, and well prepared for emergency situations

About: I've taken care of dogs from a young age, Neighbors and family friends have always called me when help is needed. I enjoy all breeds of dogs! I work part-time right now so I'm around most days but prefer working anytime from 7 am-5 pm. I have a family dog of my own so I am aware of the exercise and attention needed by dogs. My dog at home gets at least 2 walks a day and is taken out frequently. I love taking my dog on far works or runs and enjoy the company of dogs.
