“Rhonda was fantastic! We needed a cat sitter on short notice and turned to the Rover app for the first time—so glad we found her. She responded quickly and was happy to help. We met beforehand and she was so friendly and easy to talk to. While we were away, she kept in great contact, sent us adorable pictures, and clearly took wonderful care of our cat, Q. He warmed up to her and trusts her, which says a lot! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book her again.”


“Cecilia was absolutely great! She communicated well and asked about the dogs habits and needs before she went to visit so she knew about any special needs. She also sent a ton of pictures which was very much appreciated. I live that she spent so much time with our pets and made sure they weren't lonely or bored.”


About: I grew up with springer spaniels in our home and understand that each breed has different needs. I adore dogs and would always make sure yours is safe and cared for. I work full time but can manage a fur baby walk or a check in before work and after work! Being flexible whenever on the weekends can work too. Pups have always been part of my life and I will care for them in the best way possible. Lots of love and attention for the furry friends.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly love caring for them. I grew up with a variety of pets including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and bunnies, which gave me a deep appreciation for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience providing pet care, including overnight stays, administering medications, and keeping pets comfortable and happy in their home environment. I always focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine—whether that’s mealtime schedules, daily walks, playtime, or a bit of training and structure. I’m also experienced in caring for senior pets and can support their specific needs with patience and care. My goal is to treat every pet like family and give you peace of mind while you're away. I can also send you daily updates/photos of your fur babies so you know they are being well taken care of! I have both a dog and cat that I take care of every day. My dog is a three year old energetic lab/springer mix and I have a one year old orange kitty. I love getting outside and having playtime or going on walks with my dog and playing with my cat. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, following any specific instructions you provide—like feeding schedules, medications, or routines. When pets stay with me, my home is set up to be a safe and welcoming space where they can relax and feel at ease. During drop-in visits, I’m respectful of your home and make sure to keep everything just as I found it. In all cases, I take the time to build trust and move at each pet’s pace to ensure they feel secure and loved. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets.

“We hired Maya to give our dogs a potty break while my husband and I were out for the day, and she was absolutely wonderful! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pups weren’t stuck inside all day. Maya was prompt, reliable, and kind. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring with your pets.”


“Really lucked out finding Ally to check in on my dog during the day, they quickly became great friends 🥰 she made effort to get to know him & his little quirks. They go for little adventures and she shares many great photos, she is so sweet and so happy to have found her!”


About: Pets make me happy and have such a joyful presence. I love being around all animals and taking care of them. I grew up on a farm and have been around lots of animals all my life. I have been with pets as they have passed and been around all age groups of animals. My aunt trained and showed Australian Shepherds. I help her with that a lot. Animals do a service for us so I would love to help out with any sort of pet care and do a service for you! I am currently going to college. I have free time at different times of the day each day. I can totally make pretty much anything work though. I have dog sat many times. I feel bad when pets have to sit in a kennel all day or cats all alone. I love to bring my cat out side with me and play with him in the grass. I will feed pets if needed. Let them, brush them, throw the frisbee or a ball. I will make sure there environment is safe with enough food and water.

“Jennifer is a wonderful sitter who took our dog for a walk after feeding him. She is highly responsible and caring and I plan to have her help out often. Thanks so much Jennifer!”


“Alyssa was so great with communication and sending us photos and documentation of her visits with our dog! We are super grateful for her care and will absolutely be booking her again in the future”


About: I’ve fostered dogs since I was in fourth grade, sometimes multiple at a time. Varying in size and age, sometimes cats as well as dogs. I am currently a junior at UWL and work an on campus job. I am going to school full time and my job does block off some of my time but I am willing to work my schedule around the fur babies. I live in the dorms so I will not be able to take the dogs into my home but I can easily take care of them in your home and easily crate if necessary. They will be provided with plenty of love and attention.

“Emma is absolutely wonderful with my dogs and they loved her. She communicated with us as needed and to provide updates and even sent pictures. I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. 10/10 recommend!”


About: I love animals and share my life with my boyfriend, two cats, and a dog. Our home is filled with their playful energy and affection. For years, I've enjoyed dog walking and dog sitting for friends and family, finding joy in every wagging tail and happy bark. Animals bring such warmth and companionship, and I cherish every moment spent caring for them. Whether it's cuddling on the couch or taking long walks, they make life richer and more fulfilling. I am currently employed as an Athletic Trainer for Emplify Health (formerly Gundersen) for the past 6 years. As much as I love providing care for the student-athletes at Central High School, I also love providing care for animals! I am typically at work in the afternoons starting around 1:00pm so I am available in the mornings on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am available most weekends for pet care as well. My boyfriend and I currently have 2 cats and a dog that we care for. I take our dog, Daisy, on walks daily to ensure she is getting her exercises as needed. As a larger dog, I know the needs she has for her activity level. I have worked with her on commands as well since she was a puppy.

About: Growing up with two dogs and a kitten sparked my lifelong love for animals. While I’m not yet in a position to adopt a pet of my own, my partner and I both grew up surrounded by furry friends and deeply miss the snuggles, walks, and unconditional love we shared with them back in our hometown. Caring for your pets would be a wonderful way for us to fill that space and share our love for animals! My partner and I both work full-time in professional roles Monday through Friday, but my workplace is conveniently close to home. This allows me the flexibility to take lunches and breaks as needed, ensuring I can meet your pet care needs with reliability and attention. I currently don’t have any pets in my apartment, but I live in a pet-friendly home with a backyard (unfenced) and easy access to nearby trails for walks, if that’s something your pet enjoys. I’m very relaxed when it comes to pet preferences—pets are welcome on furniture and even in bed with me! I’m happy to be flexible and follow your specific directions to ensure your pet feels right at home.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for family and friends for 3+ years. Growing up with dogs, I’ve always been big into play dates, walks, and giving them lots of love. I’m big into walking/running and would be more than happy to have your dog tag along if you’d like! I do work full time, typically between the hours of 7-4, but my schedule can vary from day-to-day. With my dogs in the past, I’ve always made time to accompany, exercise, and entertain them because they deserve it. I will always make time pets of any kind. Pets with me will not only be in good hands, they will be cared for, loved, and exercised like all great dogs deserve. With me previously having dogs who were very full of energy, I enjoy doing all of this stuff more than anything. I can hardly look at a dog without petting it!

Holly K.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Holly as a dedicated and compassionate pet enthusiast. While she does not currently own a dog, she keeps in very close contact with her two family dogs back home. Daily, she will FaceTime family members or request pictures to check in on them. Additionally, she makes frequent trips home to spend time with them regardless of their need of supervision. She makes sure they have nutritious meals and get lots of exercise while showering them with endless, and I mean endless, affection. Her commitment to their well-being is evident through her treatment of them basically as family members. Anyone would be fortunate to have someone as thoughtful and responsible as Holly looking after their animals.”
