“Charley was amazing with our pup Maisy! She was calm and happy when we got home from an 8 day trip. PLUS - our house was spotless! Fantastic job, we will use him again.”
“Alex did a great job with Tucker. She bonded with him immediately, he was feed, walked and pampered. Communication was excellent, we got lots of photos and updates. We will definitely use Alex again”
“We were so happy to have Carole staying at our house and taking care of our puppy! We were sent many updates and assured that our dog had been well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Emily did a fantastic job watching Tuukka while we were traveling to India for a wedding. She sent daily updates with lots of photos and we knew our pup was well take care of when we were away!”
“Carrianne did a wonderful job caring for my dog when I went out of town for a weekend. Penny takes some time to warm up to people and Carrianne was very patient and understanding throughout that process. She followed the care instructions I left and sent daily updates with important information (e.g., walks, eating habits, general behavior) with photos. She also stayed overnight in my apartment and left everything really tidy. I couldn't be happier with the care Penny received and will definitely rebook for future travel plans!”
“We were very happy with the communication and attention to detail while watching bella. Not only did she take great care of our dog but also our house 🧡 we would definitely recommend her and use her in the future”
“Ashley took absolutely excellent care of our cat while we were out of the country for a week! I knew from the moment she met our cat during our meet and greet that our little girl was going to be in great hands. Throughout the trip, Ashley reached out with check-ins and photos reflecting how well she was being taken care of. She also responded quickly to any messages and went above and beyond watching our place. We (and our cat) look forward to seeing her again in the future!”
“Elizabeth took amazing care of our dog Layla while we were away. She kept us updated with sweet messages and photos, and we could tell Layla was happy and well-loved the whole time. We came home to a relaxed, content pup — we couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommend Elizabeth and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Catie is a gem! We met twice before she stayed with our two small dogs for 4 nights. Catie updated us frequently and left our house spotless… and our dogs love her! She is kind, highly reliable, a great communicator and is a truly lovely person. So happy to have found her!”
“I couldn’t have picked a better place to leave my dog. I needed a last minute dog sitter and luckily for me Camila was available. When we arrived we were welcomed by Camila and her mom and my dog rushed over happily. Their home is lovely and my dog loved the backyard. Camila makes sure to send updates and pics so I knew my dog was having a great time. I can’t thank Camila and her mom enough for helping us short notice and giving my dog a wonderful stay. I would highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Our family had recently experienced a loss of our other pet. It was a tough time for travel but Jessica supported our other pet while we were away. She kept us informed and made the world of difference being away during such a difficult time.”
“The best Rover sitter I have had. Communicative, clean, great with Gertie, and an all around kind, responsible, and trustworthy person. Thank you Acacia! It means the world to me 🥰”
“Jackie was great. This was our first time having someone come to our house to watch our (almost) 11 year old chocolate lab. He can be finicky and has pretty strong anxiety, but Jackie was great with updates, and when we came home, Otis seemed in great shape...much better than taking him somewhere else. Would highly recommend Jackie, especially to anyone who is new to Rover and unsure of whether or not to book.”
“Evelyn did a fantastic job taking care of our pup for a long weekend. She made sure he had food, plenty of walks, and all the snuggles while we were gone. Thanks for everything, Evelyn!!”
About: Hi my name is Nora! I'm 21 years old and recent grad from University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. I have lots of pet sitting experience. I have house-sat while taking care of more than three pets, including cats and dogs. I have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medicine and pills. At my own home I have 2 rescue dogs. In addition, I'm very comfortable taking care of puppies I have potty trained and crate trained dogs in the past. I am comfortable with both cats and dogs. I LOVE animals, they are so nurturing and smart and it is so fulfilling caring for animals. I currently work part-time so my schedule is very flexible and I am very adaptable. I am communicative and can always find the best solution. I currently work only about 20 hrs a week allowing for lots of time to walk and care for pets! I am a very gentle and caring pet sitter I strictly follow the client's instructions and ask questions when needed. I like to ensure that the pets I sit for are very comfortable with me.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and stay with their pets while they’re away. I especially enjoy longer stays because it gives dogs time to feel comfortable and settled, and I love being able to build that trust with them. One of my favorite parts is taking dogs on enriching walks, keeping them active, engaged, and happy, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to keep up with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship, especially during longer stays when consistency and routine are important. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by sticking closely to their normal routine and giving them lots of attention and care. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of clients’ homes, and committed to providing reliable communication and updates throughout each stay.
“Jamila is the Best! Repeat dog walking and in-house sitting and she is consistently great with our now 9year old dog and cat. She is a part of the pack now :)”
“Riley was wonderful with our boys. They are relatively recent rescues, so have some behavioral quirks. Riley quickly sussed out how to approach the boys. She sent regular updates and photos, which I so appreciated!! I wouldn't hesitate to have her stay with Rocky and Gordo anytime!”
“Stephen and Wipawee watched my dog and my sister’s dog at my house while we went away on a family vacation. The dogs were well cared for, had plenty of attention and were taken great care of! Couldn’t have asked for better sitters.”

Madeline house sat for me for over a week and did a great job with my timid Chihuahua and Cat. She gave me daily updates and handled their daily routine and activity needs effortlessly. My dog who's slow to warm up to new people was actually sad to see her leave by the end of the sitting period. Highly recommended.
Lily absolutely exceeded my expectations with her attention to detail, genuine care and concern for my pups, and thoroughness! My dogs were well taken care of with feeding, walking (carefully in a heat wave), fireworks, and just general companionship. I also returned to my home probably looking better than how I left it - well cared for, cleaned, and plants alive and well. The daily updates were fantastic and very reassuring. Lily is amazing and I hope we can book again :)
Travis took incredible care of our two dogs and handled a genuinely chaotic situation with so much calm and flexibility. The night before we left, our AC failed during a heat wave. While we were stuck across the country juggling an HVAC company and a landlord who wasn’t prioritizing the issue at all, Travis kept the dogs safe, comfortable, and monitored. He checked in regularly so we knew how they were doing, and he adjusted his schedule so repairs could be made. His support made a huge difference for our peace of mind during a very stressful situation for us and I’m sure him. One of our dogs is anxious, skittish, and extremely high‑energy, and Travis did an amazing job letting her warm up at her own pace while still getting her out for consistent walks. Both dogs were well cared for the entire stay. We’re so grateful for how he handled everything and will absolutely book with him Again. Thank you Travis!
Riley was wonderful with our boys. They are relatively recent rescues, so have some behavioral quirks. Riley quickly sussed out how to approach the boys. She sent regular updates and photos, which I so appreciated!! I wouldn't hesitate to have her stay with Rocky and Gordo anytime!
Jackie was amazing with my French Bulldog, Hazel. I was out of the country for a week and she stayed at my condo with Hazel. She sent me updates throughout the day and kept Hazel active, which I love. I would highly recommend Jackie for your dog sitting needs and will definitely use her again.
Laura was absolutely wonderful and my dog, Rocky, seemed very happy to be with her while we were gone! I reached out to Laura last minute when my other arrangement fell through. We squeezed in two meet and greets within a week just to be sure Rocky was a good fit for her and vice versa. She took notes and really listened to all of the info I shared about Rocky’s needs, quirks, etc. I felt very confident in leaving him with Laura and having her stay at our home. She sent a daily update with a few photos each day, and Rocky was happy as a clam playing, snuggling, and walking to the park with her. I highly recommend Laura and plan to have her stay with Rocky again later this summer!
Marilia was wonderful! Our cat, Zoe, was clearly in highly experienced, responsible, and caring hands. Marilia kept in close touch with any questions that came up and send regular updates. The entire experience gave us great peace of mind and we hope to hire Marilia for future cat-care needs.
Sara and Ethan were excellent dog sitters! They watched three dogs at my house and were great about getting them out on regular walks, giving lots of attention and pets, and sending regular updates and communication. My dogs loved having them and I loved that they had a hybrid/remote work schedule that allowed them to be close to the dogs throughout the day! Ethan and Sara are a great team!
Jessica is an absolute pro when it comes to dogsitting. We recently rescued two dogs, and they can be quite a handful as they're acclimating to their new home. She was unfazed with Rocky's barking, and had Gordo snuggling in no time. Jessica sent regular updates and photos, which made me feel better, since it was our first time away from them overnight. I highly recommend Jessica, and would love to have her back in the future.
