About: I'm an animal lover who grew up with lots of beloved cats and dogs at home. Today, I have a sweet and silly cat named Yukon Cornelius. I walked dogs as a part-time job in college and would love to get out and spend time with furry friends again! As for sitting, I'm a Reading Teacher who works remotely, which will allow me to spend quality time with your beloved pet- in their own home- while you're away. There are less teaching opportunities in the summer, so I have plenty of time to dog-walk between classes. And since I mostly work remotely, I can pet-sit in your home and spend plenty of quality time with your furry friend. When pet-sitting in your home, I know familiar patterns are important in keeping pets healthy and happy. I am dedicated to following feeding, play, and exercise schedules.

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 like 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.

“Katie is the absolute best! Our cat, Sammy, was happy and well-fed and cared for during our time away. We were a bit worried, as Sam is rather shy, but Katie had no problem making friends with him. We are so very grateful! Thanks so much, Katie!”


“Lilly was amazing with our two cats while we were gone for a week! Both of our girls absolutely loved her (even our shy kitty) and warmed up to her instantly. She is very communicative and goes above and beyond. Do yourself a favor and hire her! ?”


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.

“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.”


About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so I understand how stressful it can be to find someone to take care of your pets while you’re away or even just gone for the day at work. Our pets are the whole world to us so it’s important you find someone you trust. I hope that once you get to know me I can be that person for you! I have over 13 years experience as I have been around animals my whole life. I love learning their little personalities the things they love whether it’s going for a walk and they have a specific fire hydrant they always stop at or a specific toy at home they always love to play with. Currently I have a cat named Stella who has provided me lots of experience in anxious cats as well as in tricks on giving medication. I am currently a substitute teacher with the summer off so I can provide pop in visits throughout the week as well as the weekends! Safety of pets is my number one priority with your pets as well as my own. I will always care for your pet like they are my own when I am with them to ensure they have adequate care. I will get to know your pet and notice when things may seem off if they aren’t feeling well. I also maintain safety when walking with your pet and making sure to learn their temperament before walks as well.

“Angie was wonderful with communication and photos. I would highly recommend and would use again. Thank you!”


“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!”


“Mary is a great communicator - she let me know when she was at my house and sent pics during her visit. Overall, she was a caring, attentive friend to my furries! I would absolutely partner with Mary again. 😊”


“Love Jennie! Keeping her for a long time!”


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.

About: I've always grown up with dogs and have a sweet dog of my own. I am the go-to pet watchers for all of our friends, and would love to care for your pup while you're away! I work a flexible job with remote/WFH capabilities most days of the week. I am available most evenings and weekends to care for your dog. They will be treated like part of the family! I have a mostly fenced in yard to allow for backyard play, convenient access to walking trails and am always happy to take your pup for a walk depending on their schedule/preference. I have a playful, energetic dog of our own that loves all new friends. Your dog will be treated like part of the family while they are in my care!

Root Creek pet parents share their Rover experiences
Tess is absolutely phenomenal with the way she cares for my little man and the love she has for him shows beautifully. Her photos and stories about their walks makes me smile and know he is in excellent hands while I'm at work!

Mary did a great job of taking care of all Sophie’s needs while I was away! it was so nice to have that peace of mind!

Jenn takes very good care of our dog Rosie. She takes pictures and gives detailed comments. I highly recommend her.

Another successful vacation in the books because I knew I could trust Michele to care for our furchildren and give them love while we were gone. They all love when she comes by to care for them and play 9-gazillion rounds of fetch and tug-of-war. Michele is absolutely THE BEST!

Taylor was great and was prompt when she did two drop-in visits for me and my puppy. You'll be happy with her service and care while taking care of your furry children.

We booked Cassandra for midday walks and we are so pleased with the care she provided Frankie with! She is communicative, kind, timely, and met all of our expectations. Thank you Cassandra!

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!

If Amanda’s available, she’s my go to sitter! My cat adores her. Another happy kitty that I came home to!

Amanda is great with my dogs and is super flexible which is so helpful. We have been using her for months and have loved having her watch them!!

She let my dog out while I was out of town for a week. She was very responsive to messages and sent lots of updates. Everything went very well.

Liz is my first choice for looking after my cats when I'm away, especially for a long trip. She takes great care of them, sends lovely updates, and is careful to note changes that she sees with them. Highly recommend!

Milo and I appreciate your care while I’m away. I have peace of mind that he’s well taken care of by 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!!

Katherine is great and so patient with our pets! Follows instructions, clear communication. Thank you so much!

Hailey spent time with my cat while I was out of town. She was so sweet - sending numerous photos & detailed report cards. It was so comforting knowing Hailey was taking care of my fur baby. Will definitely book with her again.
