“Did a great job managing our house full of animals while we were away for two weeks. We came home to happy healthy animals, and I could tell they'd been well-cared for!”



“Ashley was GREAT! I had a last minute trip pop up this weekend and she immediately responded to help me out. She even dropped what she was doing to come meet her that night! She was super responsive while I was away, and Brooklyn is worn out tonight- which I know is because she had so much fun! Thanks again, Ashley!”


“10 stars needed! ❤️ left Keisha w/ a huge task!! She went above and beyond from every aspect ~ so accommodating… most importantly~ she took great care of the high maintenance rugrats and notably after being gone for 4 days ~ I know the dog didn’t leave the place spotless 😉 I’m a 1st timer on this app so I was anxious prior to our initial meet and great, having a stranger in your house and trusting them with your little loves was new for me.. No worries were needed… it couldn’t have been a more perfect experience!! ❤️”


“Mallory is so nice! She ensured that Kermit was comfortable despite fireworks and a thunderstorm in the same weekend. She sent us updates twice a day to reassure us that he was doing okay.”



“Blythe was amazing! I booked with her based on her endless positive reviews and was not disappointed. I have a blind senior dog who needs medication and Blythe went above and beyond to make me feel less anxious about leaving her for the first time for a long weekend. She was communicative, patient and kind—I will definitely be booking with her for my next trip.”


“Rachel is amazing! One of our dogs is hesitant with new people, and Rachel deals well with her noise and makes her feel comfortable quickly every time. Our dogs love spending time with Rachel and we love getting regular photos of all the fun they're having :)”


“Emily did a great job with our older dog. She communicated any concerns she had with him. The house was left in pristine condition. We were thankful to have her staying with Louie.”


“Berenice was great!!! She was easy to get in touch with and sent lots of pictures! My puppy was so happy to see her and tuckered out when I saw him indicating that all his physical and mental needs were met during his full day of care. Trustworthy and reliable! Would definitely book again”


About: I’ve had at least 1 pet my entire life, so I’m no stranger to caring for pets in my home. Beginning in middle school and until now, I’ve been entrusted by family, friends, and coworkers to take care of their pets while they’re away. I have experience with house visits, walking or dog park trips, and overnight care. While I don’t have direct experience with pets who require medical attention, I’d be happy to learn with you. I do have experience with senior pet care. Overall, I guarantee I’ll take care of your pet like my own! I recently graduated from PA school and am job searching currently, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I’m available for daytime care or overnight care daily. When looking after your pet, I will always take care of them like my own. I’m happy to play with them in the yard, take them on walks or to the park, lounge with them on the couch on a rainy day, or crate them if needed. I can stick to strict meal or medication times and will ensure they have potty breaks with appropriate clean up.

“Alex was a great person to have watch our dog. He made sure she was walked, fed and protected when she was scared that we were not here. He is a kind and respectable man. He even made sure that any dishes he used were ran thru the dishwasher before he left. We will definitely look to have him sit for us again when we are out of town again.”


“Jenn stayed at our house for a weekend away. One of our dogs recently went blind and we felt in-home care was our only option. Jenn didn't seem concerned about managing our blind dog, senior greyhound, and cat. I appreciated that she came out twice to the house to meet us and talk through our routine. I was also impressed that she read up a bit on greyhounds since Leo was the first greyhound she watched. She was great about communicating her schedule and sending us pictures. We would definitely try to schedule with Jenn again.”


“Sarah was a spectacular house sitter for our pets and home. She was kind, friendly and respectful of the home! I would highly recommend to anyone in the Milwaukee area!”


“Samantha did a wonderful job during an overnight say with my Sasha. She came to meet Sasha beforehand and get a quick tour of the house and rundown of Sasha's schedule. During her stay, she sent lots of pictures and updates. She also left my home cleaner than when I had left! I am extremely appreciative of Samantha's care that she put towards watching my fur baby.”

About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently share my home with three cats and one dog - it's a full house! I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, including my own 13-year-old who needs daily medication. I also grew up with huskies, so I'm no stranger to high-energy breeds and the active care they require. On the flip side, I'm just comfortable with laid-back pus - my pug keeps things goofy and fun. Whether it's administering meds, going for long walks, or just providing companionship, I bring patience, energy, and love to every pet I care for. I work full-time remotely, which gives me the flexibility to offer morning and afternoon drop-ins and walks during the week. On weekends, I'm fully available for all listed services and can accommodate a wider range of times. My home has a partially fenced yard and system of tall gates inside to safely separate cats and dogs when needed, so every pet can feel secure and relaxed. I'm happy to kennel your pup if that's part of their routine or needed for comfort. Your pet's safety and peace of mind are always my top priority.

“I could not say enough great things about katie! As a new dog mom to a puppy, she was so patient and so attentive to my boy. Katie sent tons of pictures, videos and kept me updated routinely on anything that had changed. She was a respectful house guest and provided excellent care to my dog while I was working very long hours for three consecutive days. My mama heart was at ease knowing I had such an excellent person taking the best care of my dog!!”


About: I have loved pups and dogs my whole life! I have been a helping hand to friends and family and their pets when needed. I also have worked in the medical field for over 20 years, with emergency experience. I am currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with or walk your pups. I am available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Weekends can always be worked out! I make sure everything and everyone is safe and secure (doors/fences locked) when going for a walk. I want the pup to know that all is well and are in good hands.

Root Creek pet parents share their Rover experiences
This is the second time we have booked Stephen and Wipawee, and once again, they did an excellent job house sitting our dogs! They were attentive, walked our dogs, played with them in the backyard, and showered them with love and affection. We trust them completely and appreciated their dedication to ensuring Cameron and Colby were happy and well cared for. They were also very supportive and accommodating to our needs. Highly recommend!

Makenna watched my two bulldogs for the weekend and she did an excellent job. I was given constant updates and pictures, and my boys seemed very happy. She even brought some treats for them. When I came home, my place was just as I left it. Will definitely ask her to watch my dogs in the future!
