“Joseph watched my dogs for a full week. He was in constant communication with us, sent tons of pics, it was obvious the dogs were well taken care of! Thank you so much Joseph!!!!”


“Abby did a great job taking care of Levi! She was very kind, communicative, and kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing Levi was in good hands.”

“Jessica was amazing! She communicated with us every day and sent us pictures/videos of the dogs, which my daughters really enjoyed. She took extra special care of our geriatric dog, making and feeding him human food, per our request. We will definitely be hiring Jessica again! Thank you for taking care of our fur babies! Brandy”
“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!”


“Cathy was fantastic! She was very easy to work with, and very friendly to our dog, Joey. You can tell she has plenty of experience with pets. We definitely plan on hiring her again!”

“Elizabeth was wonderful! Our pups were well loved and safe. She was trustworthy and went above and beyond to make sure the house was left in excellent condition. We look forward to having her back.”

“Jackie was amazing with the dogs and you could tell by how calm they were when I got home that they had a great weekend. I would recommend and will have her watch my dogs again.”

“We were thrilled when Travis agreed to watch our pup, Opi. Travis came over in advance to meet us and Opi. We knew he was a great match when he immediately greeted Opi and started petting him. Travis is responsive and sent us photos everyday. Opi really seemed to enjoy his time with Travis! Not only did Travis take excellent care of Opi but also our house! We would definitely recommend Travis to anyone needing a pet sitter and we will for sure use Travis again when we travel. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our house and pup were in the best of hands. Thank you again!”

“Madeline is a great and responsive sitter. She took great care of our boys, and she charmed our skittish boy. He even crawled on her lap... amazing while he is a lovebug he does not usually warm up that quickly.”

About: I have experience dog sitting over multiple days on several occasions. I’ve cared for Great Danes, Chihuahuas, and a pug, and grew up with family dogs including a Sheltie, Australian Shepherd, and rescue Pit Bull/Boxer mix. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m currently attending UWM, my schedule has some good-sized gaps between classes, which gives me flexibility during the week for drop ins or walks. I’m also generally free Friday through Sunday I provide care in the client’s home and will follow their instructions and their pet’s normal routine. I’ll keep pets safe and supervised, respect their space, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and care.
“I am so thankful for Giovanni! I was new to the Rover App and honestly didn’t expect to find someone who would be willing to take care of two nine week old energetic puppies that were not even potty trained. Giovanni agreed to puppy sit in my home for three days! He was extremely patient, gentle, and kind with Cedar and Ivy. From day one I was confident that Gio would care for the puppies the same way I do. He was communicative with me regarding his arrival time and during the day he provided me with an update on the puppies. It was a pleasure getting to know him. My only regret is that I didn’t get a picture of Gio with the puppies! Next time, Gio! 😊”


About: I pet it all of my phones and families dogs whether it’s from short visits to letting the dogs outside to go potty or overnight stays. I have been doing this for over two years now, but it’s been a lot more frequent over the past two years. I have always loved dogs. In fact I have two big dogs one purebred German Shepherd and the other dog is a great Pyrenees mix. I am working with Rover now because I’m trying to be able to afford an apartment for myself and just take care of my basic necessities. I know how well I will want my dogs taken care of if I needed a sitter so I try to provide that same care to my clients! I can usually make any time work as best for you. I don’t have a full-time job. It should be my primary job right now. I can do anything you need me to do. Feeding the dogs, letting them out to go potty, taking them to play, taking them on a walk, etc.
About: I’m a caring and responsible pet sitter with experience taking care of 3 dogs and 5 cats. I’m comfortable providing pets with attention, companionship, feeding, walks, and the care they need to feel safe and happy. I truly enjoy spending time with animals I have a flexible schedule and can make time for pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I follow each pet’s routine, provide food, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention while keeping them safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for.
“Tegra was amazing with our quirky doggo. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Tegra provided updates and loved on our pup while we were away for almost two weeks. Upon returning home, we could tell puppers was anxiety free and our home was in excellent order. 1000% would use Tegra again.”

“Maggie did a wonderful job with Morgan & Frankie. She arrived when asked and even stayed longer then planned due to a flight delay. I received pictures and the dogs seemed happy and at ease. She said they were well behaved-everything a dog Mom wants to hear. She will help us again in a few days and I have total confidence they are in good hands and they will be happy to see her. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life, giving me years of practical experience with feeding, exercising, and basic leash etiquette. Responsible, punctual, and attentive to special instructions or temperaments. Excited to give your dog the attentive care and company they deserve! I am currently a student at Marquette University. With that being said, I have consistent availability in the afternoons on weekdays. I also have weekends open regularly. I am able to meet whatever the needs of your pet are. I have raised dogs from two months up until the age of 17. Whether it be crate training, diet restrictions, or potty training, I have experience in all.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rufus King
This was our first time using Rover and having someone pet sit (outside of family), and it could not have gone better. Jessica provided lots of pictures and updates, made sure the dogs had food and water and gave my senior dog his medication. I would absolutely recommend!

Hannah was absolutely wonderful! She took such amazing care of my pets and my home, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The little pet “report cards” were such a thoughtful and personal touch that made me smile! It was clear how much care and attention she gave them. Most importantly, I had complete peace of mind knowing my pets were safe, happy, and in loving hands while I was away. That kind of reassurance is priceless. I would wholeheartedly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their furry family members! ❤️

Mika was so amazing! I knew my dog was in great hands and felt at ease our whole trip. They asked us how many daily updates we wanted and kept us in the loop with what was going on. I never felt the need to reach out to check in, I knew things were going smoothly.

Evita was excellent! She is incredibly responsive and communicative. We greatly appreciated regular updates with pictures on how things were going while we were away. Along with our dog being well cared for, our house was also well tended. I will absolutely be reaching back out any time we need a sitter.

Sara and Ethan were excellent. They swooped to the rescue to cover a full week just a few days before we left (a different sitter canceled last minute). Our pup Bailey adored them, but more importantly, we could tell how genuinely they adored him. He was in great spirits when we returned and had been well looked after. They followed all our guidance and were consistent in providing daily updates. Our house was in great shape too, having watched Bailey here. We will be booking them again soon!

Cathy was wonderful. She is a great communicator, responded quickly and clearly, and was always sending photos which was much appreciated. She was great with my golden retriever who was quickly drawn to her and well taken care of. Will be seeking to rebook in the near future.

Acacia is lovely! She did a great job staying with our frenchie for a weekend, making sure he was fed, walked, and sooo well loved! She is great at sharing updates and helping coordinate all the loving pieces of our travel. Can’t wait for her to come over again in the future!

Elizabeth was a dream. This was our first time booking with her and she was a great communicator, so incredibly kind and gracious. She took such great care of our 3 crazy pups and our home, even leaving us a little treat and note for when we returned. So grateful for her, her flexibility and the care our dogs received :)

Jessica is 100% reliable and cares for my dogs with love and attentiveness. I felt completely confident in leaving for five days with my dogs in her care. She sent me updates and pictures to put me at ease. When I returned home the dogs were happy and that makes me happy. I cannot recommend Jessica highly enough.

We ( and our girl Daisy) love having Yacob as a house/ dog sitter! He always does a great job taking care of her, is attentive to her needs and available when we check in with him. We always feel confident that Daisy is in great hands with Yacob when we are gone!

This was our second time having Nikki watch our dog for a three night stay, and everything went great as usual. My dog was expertly cared for, walked twice/day, fed and loved. My house was cleaner than we left it! Will definitely hire Nikki again she was great and kept in communication with us during our trip. Thanks again, Nikki!
