Abbey took great care of Frankie while we went out for a few hours! She sent a few check in photos to let us know how he was doing, which we loved. We would definitely book with Abbey again. Thank you!

Victoria did an amazing job with Panini! I feel she really went above and beyond. I got photos throughout the visit which I really appreciated. Panini, my cat, was very well cared for and I definitely recommend booking with Victoria!

About: I have had dogs for over 25 years now, both small and large breeds. I also have experience giving them medications when needed. I currently have 2 doodles and a pitbull mix at home. I work full-time but I have a flexible schedule and can work remotely when needed. As long as I have some notice, I can accommodate most schedules without any issues. I'm dependable and love dog cuddles! I will make sure all of their needs are met and provide play and love! If they have any special needs I am more than capable of handling that with care as well.

Ali, is simply the best. She is so sweet, caring, and loving to our Stella. She did a wonderful job and kept us updated with lots of cute messages and pictures. She is a neghibor a few streets down and we did not even know it, but so glad we do now. We can't wait to have her back!!

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve helped look after dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from high-energy pups to shy seniors who need a gentler touch. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly rely on me because I’m attentive, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with their pets. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved, whether we’re playing, going for walks, or just relaxing together. Your pet will get reliable care and plenty of affection while they’re with me. I have 1 year dog kennel experience that inspired me to become a vet assistant to hopefully start my own commercial business in the future! Thank you for considering me and contributing to my experience it is greatly appreciated and your animals will be treated like my own! I’m in school studying to become a veterinary assistant, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. My class schedule is flexible, giving me lots of availability on weekends and most weekdays. Since animal care is already a big part of my life, I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, and reliability for your pets. I do online. For pet sittings I do have a night part time job Monday-Thursday 11:00pm-3am and Saturdays 5pm-9pm so I can always stop by before and after and if your dogs are anxious I can always spend the night but I don’t plan on sleeping at your home. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first when im caring for them in your home, follow your feeding, potty, and exercise routine so they feel secure and settled. If you don’t really have a route with pups and are a go with the flow person like I am I can provide, 8-10 potty’s breaks and lots of attention. For safety during walks in my neighborhood, there are no sidewalks so we walk against traffic so we can see oncoming cars with dogs on the right side of me farthest away from the road in grass. In the winter, I follow a cold-weather walking policy for safety: if it’s too cold for me in an t shirt it’s too cold for them! Usually requests winter weather gear like boots and coat but one can be provided(washed after every use with pet safe detergent). (Black puffer and no slip socks.) Night time walking- don’t worry about the days getting darker I’ve got it covered with my reflective gear, flashlight, collar light clips, and more. Thank you for understanding and helping keep your pet safe!

Emily is great. I can tell she really cares for animals and my dog (and fish) would agree. She’s punctual and shared plenty of picture updates while we were away. I definitely recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs! 😃

About: I work from home, so I am able to walk my own dogs 2-3 miles a day. I know how much they enjoy it and would love to be able to help others out that are not able to walk their pets as much as they would like. I frequently go on walks and runs multiple times a day, so adding a four-legged friend to my walking would be perfect. My work schedule is very flexible so I’m able to move things around as needed. I do not currently care for other pets in my home. I have 3 Siberian Huskies all under the age of 5 so it’s already a full house!

About: I’ve cared for dogs since the age of 5. I provide personalized, reliable dog care with constant communication, treating every dog like my own so owners can leave without worry. I currently work a full-time job from 7a-3p. I am available any time outside of those hours excluding boarding overnight. I am available on weekends. While I don’t have a fenced yard, dogs are never left unattended outdoors. All bathroom breaks and outdoor activities (walks, etc) are done on-leash with close supervision.

About: Growing up I lived in the country with cows, horses and chickens next door. We always had many cats and dogs because we had the space and they just knew we would take them in if they didn't have a home. I wish I had the space now to have more animals but since I dont, it would be an honor to take care of yours. My experience with animals would be having a cat that needed shots daily for diabetes, a blind dog, dog that had seizures, taking care of friends and family's pets. Some which needed daily medicine or had a lot of energy : ). I ppreciate the trust they have in me to take care of their fur family members. Each pet, like humans, have their own personality. I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule N/A not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable

About: I graduated in May of 2025 from the Madison Area Technical College Veterinary Technician Program, then passed the VTNE to become a Certified Veterinary Technician. In school we worked with dogs, cats, horses, cows, and lambs. I have had dogs since I was a child, and I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I worked on a farm taking care of horses for about two and a half years from 2020-2022. I've taken care of pets for friends/family for many years as well! I currently work at a vet hospital, though I am out on FMLA. Unfortunately, that means I can only take on pets less than 30 lbs at the moment. If you're looking for someone to take extra care of your pets, please reach out to see if we're a good fit! I'm currently working full time as a certified veterinary technician at a veterinary hospital. I work 40 hours a week with a varying schedule. Generally I work 8 am - 6 pm four days a week (my day off during the week changes each week). I work on Saturday about once per month. My rover clients will be scheduled around that availability. I currently live in an apartment with a cat and will not be able to watch clients' pets in my home. If I am watching pets in the client's home, I will take care of them the way I would take care of mine. I am respectful and conscientious of your personal space and privacy.

About: I used to be on rover with my mom as dog sitters. We had a lot of happy customers many of whom would book with us multiple times. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I am available for dog walking and drop in visits. I may or may not be able to do walks every day of the week depending on what time the dog goes for a walk. When I am taking care of a pet wether it’s someone else’s or my own I do my very best to ensure that animal is get everything they could possibly need to be happy and thriving.

About: I have been taking care of animals for roughly 13 years. We always had pets growing up and I did a lot of dog sitting in high school. I grew up on a farm so I have experience taking care of all sorts of different animals I work for a school district so I have fairly short hours during the day and have weekends off. I also have summers off as well as several random days off and full weeks here and there. I work less than half the year so I am very flexible. My house is already pet proofed with locks and baby gates. We have a dog area that is fenced in and has a doggie door connected to our screened in porch that is shaded.

About: My name is Thomas, and my girlfriend's name is Emily. Together we have 8+ years of experience with pet care. Emily grew up on a farm around animals, and I grew up with a dog. We also own a fur baby together and have had her since she was a puppy. She is now 8 years old. Emily is a real estate agent and works from home all day so will be able to tend to your pets whenever they are in need. I am home in the morning, afternoons, and weekends so will be able to help out with overnight stays. We are a cage free home that allows pets on the furniture and bed. We care for pets by taking them on walks throughout the day and ensuring each one is catered to for its individual needs. We would love to watch your furbaby today! Reach out with any questions. I work from home so am able to tend to the dogs anytime they need something. I can care for them in anyway the owner requests. I will take the pets on walks, and make sure they are fed. I will treat them as if they were my own pet and make sure they feel safe and loved while they are in my care.
