About: I’ve been looking after fluffy frens of all shapes and sizes from a young age. My time doing a full house/dog sitting gig was for my grandparents and their French bulldog, Sugar (miss you, Sugs!). Since then I have been the go-to for my friends and family for taking care of their for legged family. I make sure your fury family gets the love and care they need, whether you just have one smol dog or a pack of greyhounds. I currently had a stretch of rough health luck, but my ails are your pups gain! I’m currently on the mend, and it’s going well, but between jobs, so my schedule is wide open. I’ll have the time to give your pups the TLC they deserve! Currently unavailable to board pets at my house, but I will make sure to treat all pets in a safe and caring way. I’ll treat them like a newborn baby, because hey, in a way they are!
“Emily was great at communicating with us the entire stay, and we could tell from all her updates and pictures that our pups loved having her around. Our flight ended up getting delayed because of the blizzard rolling through Wisconsin this past weekend, and Emily was able to help make sure our pups were let out and fed while we figured out how to get back to Milwaukee. I would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone else looking for expert and friendly care for their pups on Rover. Thank you again!”
“Keisha is wonderful! Our pups are very shy but Keisha did a great job helping them warm up. She is sweet, communicative and flexible, and even sent us pics of the girls while she was watching them!”
“Julianna Stayed in my house for five nights/six days and took excellent care of my large, high-energy Siberian Husky. It can be hard to find a trustworthy house/dog sitter sitter outside of personal friends and family, but I couldn’t have been more satisfied.”
“Scott was our first introduction to Rover. We really appreciated that he could come on short notice to sit with our 22-week old puppy. We loved Scott's relaxed and gentle way with our dog who is so excited to meet someone new, but is still in manners training in how to greet people. Scott quickly picked up on what we were trying to teach and went along with that routine. Scott arrived on the dot of our agreed time and we plan to ask him to come again!”
“We could not have asked for a better dog sitter. Catherine stayed at our home with our dog for 12 days and took exceptional care the entire time. She sent daily updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind. Our dog was happy and healthy when we returned. We would absolutely book Catherine again and recommend her to family and friends.”
“Riley is great with our crabby old men and we appreciate all the pictures she sends! It was even their birthday on Monday and she sent a video of her singing happy birthday to them 🥺”
“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.”
“I am a first time user of Rover.com and was nervous about leaving my dogs with someone the dogs and I didn't know. The meet and greet with Jackie helped put my mind at ease. Jackie did an amazing job taking care of my 2 dogs at my house for a little over 2 weeks. One the dogs does not trust people. It did not take him long to warm up to her, which says that she has good, calm energy. It was great that the dogs could be at home and she would come to them. I think this made the dogs less anxious. She sent us great pictures and promptly responded to texts. I would highly recommend Jackie and I would definitely use her again.”
“Molly absolutely crushed it- I can’t say enough good things. Our dogs have huge personalities, some bizarre behaviors, and special needs (and so does our weird old rental house) and she handled all of it with aplomb. Our resident canine klutz tore his paw pad the night before we left, and even though we totally sprung this development on Molly at the last minute, pro that she is, she jumped in and changed his dressings, kept the area clean, AND kept the dog calm to prevent further injury. He was basically fully healed upon our return. Thanks, Molly! We will be back if you’ll have us- with fewer surprises next time, we hope!”
“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!”
“Cindy took care of our dog Frankie and our house and is hands down the best Rover experience we have ever had!!! After our meet and greet we knew Frankie and our house were being left in good hands. We returned home without having anything to worry about thanks to Cindy! She is booked for our next trip! She is absolutely wonderful!”
About: Taking care of dogs is something I have enjoyed for much of my life, even a malanois can’t resist my affection! I’m very excited to have fun with your fur baby! I am currently working part time so my availability is open to help you and your lovely pet! I am able to easily balance your pet care with my own schedule. Figuring out your pets needs is crucial, then building a good routine around play, rest and bathroom breaks. Building a good routine is very important for me to develop a good relationship with your friend!
“Maiah did a terrific job taking care of my dog. She gave us daily updates and photos, left the house clean and even stayed with my dog so she didn’t get lonely! Amazing!”
“Stephen and Wipawee watched our dog for the second time. They took excellent care of him. They kept us informed with pictures and updates throughout our trip. They were very respectful of our home and even brought in our mail and took our trash out to the curb. 100% recommend them and will definitely ask them to dog sit again in the future!”
“Ivy was a fantastic sitter for our dog! He can be fearful meeting new people, but Ivy was so patient with him and they were besties in no time. We received lots of updates and photos, our apartment was left in great condition and our dog’s needs were met above and beyond. Knowing he was in good hands made being away a lot easier. :)”
“Emily was wonderful - communicative, friendly, and our dog and cat clearly loved her. She sent amazing pictures and updates and allowed us to feel completely relaxed about being away. Thanks, Emily!!!”
“Awesome job! Would highly recommend. Expert care of our needy, elderly Great Pyrenees, and pure wizardry with our little shepherd who can be tricky unless you’re in her pack.”
About: I’m the designated dog walker for family and friends because I love going on walks, and dogs love coming with me! I grew up with a dog but only have two cats of my own— so I miss having that four-legged friend to go with me! I’d love to take your dog out for a walk/run, or just let them stretch their legs. Cat owners, I’m happy to give your kitties as much or as little space as they need while making sure they feel the love :) I don’t work Fridays or Saturdays, so I am free to help anytime then! Definitely looking to fill my Fridays up with some time outside, and I’d love to take your dog with me - or check in on your cat! I usually walk my parent’s and brother’s dogs (about 80 lbs each) so I know how to handle bigger dogs on leashes who tend to stray from the sidewalk. I can clean up after them, feed them, and give them all the pets! For my cats at home, I love to play with strings or catnip - and can cater to their personality as need be.
Saint Joseph pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alena did a great job taking care of my pup! I booked on short notice, and she was extremely gracious and accommodating, and even she made time for a meet and greet prior. She was prompt in responses when I reached out and sent check-in updates and photos as well. I would definitely recommend and will be rebooking if the need arises!
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She communicated wonderfully from the start and even met with me ahead of time to get to know my dog’s routine and feel comfortable with the space. While I was away, she sent daily updates with pictures of Stewart completely abandoning dad to cuddle with his new friend! 😂 I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.
Cindy took care of our dog Frankie and our house and is hands down the best Rover experience we have ever had!!! After our meet and greet we knew Frankie and our house were being left in good hands. We returned home without having anything to worry about thanks to Cindy! She is booked for our next trip! She is absolutely wonderful!
Paige is an amazing, young woman and was so loving to my pups. We had a hard journey driving from FL to Milwaukee, and I wanted someone to hang with them while catching up with friends. I could not have picked anyone better. Within minutes, my little Elsa was in love with Paige and King had a new girl friend! I searched the night before and thank God, Paige was the answer :) Obviously, highly recommend Paige.
Esterah was so great with our pets during the house sitting. Our dog is very nervous and she was patient with him when she first arrived. We got lots up updates. She asked questions during the meet and greet and the house sitting which was much appreciated. We came home to a clean house and happy pets!
Jamila was amazing with my senior dog Vladimir! She’s helped with feedings and overnights at my house. She is kind, thoughtful, and Vlad loved her! She followed all my instructions and handled my old man with care. We will be asking her to watch Vlad again in the near future! I’m grateful to have found her!
Nicole was simply fantastic. Walter is a new rescue, and has only been with me for about two weeks before I had to travel for work. Nicole kept all of my anxiety about leaving him at Bay, she was incredibly communicative, very patient with my anxious, crazy boy, and even left me a full page document of notes about her observations on him as I’m continuing to understand who he is. While I was away, I was telling some of the individuals I was with about everything she was doing for Walter and they all begged me to give them her information. Will absolutely be reaching out to Nicole in the future!
