About: Even at a young age, I am very trusted by friends, family, and my community. I have spent countless hours with all breeds, sizes, and ages. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart and I cherish each old and new relationship! I am blessed to still have my 12 year old red fox lab in my life, so I take care of her daily. I have many loved ones who sometimes need help caring for their pets and I am always first on their list to contact. I love to be outside and partaking in physical activity, so I would love to provide a service for walking/exercising your pets! When clients communicate with me how they want me to meet their dogs needs, I will do everything I can to meet that expectation!
“Tabitha has taken care of our fur babies multiple times now. My pets love her and have been very well taken care of. Tabitha is very responsive. I highly recommend her.”
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: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, which led me to study veterinary technology at the University of Wisconsin River Falls. In recent years, I’ve worked full-time in both primary and emergency veterinary clinics, gaining hands on experience in roles ranging from receptionist to veterinary assistant. This background has given me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’m comfortable working with all types of dogs whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and anxious, stubborn, or even reactive. I also have experience handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, including those who need extra patience and care. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, while also reassuring you that your family member is safe and healthy. Pet care fits well into my routine as a full-time student at the University of Wisconsin–River Falls with a flexible schedule. During the school year, I’m mostly available afternoons and evenings, and after mid-May I’ll be more open, with a part-time job that varies week to week. I have reliable transportation and am open to overnight care, with occasional early mornings if needed. I prefer advance notice but will do my best to accommodate last minute requests. I tailor my time with each pet based on their needs to make sure they feel comfortable and fully cared for. I believe that care should be based of each pet or families needs. I plan to try and keep the pets routine as similar to what they have now as possible. I don’t want them to be confused. I would prefer to go based off the pets needs. Whether walking for 30 mins or giving medications and snuggling. I am willing to even take your canine to a dog park of choice as long as I had selected papers for vaccine information.

I’ve worked at a boarding and training facility for 9 years of all animals horses, dogs, cats. I’ve also was an assistant at a vet clinic so I have tons of hands on experience. I currently also work at a training facility in River falls called Crystal Clear Canine Training. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and know what it’s like to leave animals in other people’s care, you only want the best. Like I said above I currently work at a training facility throughout the week but always get a lunch break so I am able to stop in if need be. I’m completely free Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I follow feeding, walking, and care instructions precisely while providing regular updates with photos and notes on the pet’s well-being. Cleanliness and safety are always a focus, ensuring food and water bowls are fresh, litter boxes are maintained, and the home stays tidy. My experience in animal training allows me to reinforce positive behaviors and help manage any stress or anxiety the pet may experience in their owner’s absence. Having worked in the veterinary and training fields for years, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I strive to provide the best care possible.
About: Growing up, my family has always had pets, so I’ve been around animals my whole life. We’ve also done in-home dog sitting for the past 10 years and have fostered numerous dogs and cats through Lucky Paws Rescue for about 8 years. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and sizes, from puppies to seniors and small to large dogs. I also have experience fostering paralyzed dogs and caring for animals with medical needs, including diabetic pets and those requiring medications. I’m a college student who works full time during the summer normally a 3-midnight shift. I’m looking for fun side hustle during the day so dog walking/pet sitting is something I’d be good at and enjoy! I love pets with all my heart! My dogs at home have the option of leash walking and a fenced in yard, both work very well for them. While pet sitting and fostering I’ve had to handle all sorts of dogs while leash walking; the ones that chew the leash, tug, and the easier the ones, but I love them all! Every pet I visit will be treated with love, care, and patience.
“Valerie is so thorough & is teaching my dog great habits! She always leaves him treats and new toys & is thoughtful about what our puppy enjoys. You will not be disappointed hiring her!”
About: I would love to take care of your fur baby🐶🐾 I truly believe our pets are our family, and they deserve to be treated with patience, love, and attention. I’ve grown up with huskies and understand their energy, intelligence, and big personalities. I had a husky growing up, and now I rescued one of my own — so I’m very used to daily walks, playtime, structure, and staying active. I’m also a foster mom, which has given me experience with dogs of different temperaments, backgrounds, and needs. Caring for foster dogs has taught me patience, adaptability, and how important it is to make every dog feel safe and comfortable. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs — from small Yorkie/Shih Tzus to big Labs. I’m comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also have experience administering medications, including oral medications, eye drops, ear drops, and other basic care needs. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in capable and attentive hands. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my routine! I currently work in the service industry, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule. My usual days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays, which allows for extended availability those days. On most other days, I’m available for morning walks and check-ins if you reach out in advance. Since I already have an active routine with my own dog, adding walks and care for your pup fits in perfectly. I’m happy to communicate and coordinate to find times that work best for both of us! 🐾 I treat every pet like they’re part of my family, with care, respect, and plenty of love. My husky has gone through several training courses, so I’m used to teaching commands, helping with training, and teaching new tricks when needed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I create a calm and positive environment, supervise them closely, and adapt to each pet’s personality. You can trust that your furry family member will be in loving hands! 🐾

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a River Falls stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
