“Natalia was wonderful. She spent a lot of quality time with our Lily - much more than other sitters we have had in the past - and kept us updated frequently. From her updates, you could tell that Natalia was really giving Lily her full attention because her descriptions of Lily's activities included all those little quirks that you would only know by being attentive. Lily took to Natalia right away when usually she is a little skeptical of new people. We came home to a relaxed, happy dog. We would highly recommend Natalia.”


“Luke was great with Ellie! And was great at sending photos of their time together. I always stress leaving her behind so his communication was very helpful in keeping my stress at bay.”


“Preston came over prior to dogsittting for a meet and greet with the dogs. We have 3 large dogs which can be a lot. She did great with them over the weekend! We would definitely book her again!”


“We love Addie! She has house sat for us a couple times now and done a drop in visit as well. She is quick to respond and willing to work with you on shifting times or unexpected situations. If she has a question or concern about your home or pup, she asks. Addie is also thoughtful and we can tell our pup enjoys having her around!”


“After needing to find a new sitter, we came across Annie on Rover. We were pleased with her reviews and really liked her experience working at a veterinary clinic. Annie is quick to respond, polite, and professional. She met us for a 'meet and greet', stayed a single night as a trial run, and then spent the last 3 nights taking care of our dogs in our home. We have a Great Dane and a Vizsla for a combined 220 pounds of dog with very different personalities which can be challenging at times. Annie said that she really enjoyed looking after our boys. The house was just as clean as when we left it and the boys seems tired and happy. She also gave us a text update and a few photos which we appreciated. We highly recommend Annie!”


“Ella was amazing with our pup during her weekend stay! She was kind, courteous, and completely trustworthy. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Lima was in such good hands. Ella kept her on schedule, sent updates, and gave her so much love and attention. We’d absolutely book with her again!”


About: I’ve had animals for my entire life. Anything from dogs, cats, horses, fish, tortoises, and hamsters - you name it, I had it as a pet! I have certifications in animal care from Holly and Hugo, including animal anatomy and physiology, diet, grooming, training, and CPR for dogs and cats. I have 2 dogs of my own, a Great Dane and a Shih Tzu and have experience with both small and large dogs. I currently work full time during the week but I am available on nights and weekends for pet care. I am also available to do drop ins and walks when needed. I care for your pet in your own home for your convenience, so your pet will be comfortable and happy at home while you are away! I just ask for a schedule for the dog/cat/animal so they can stay on their schedule!

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since I was a kid and have loved watching family and friends dogs as well. I worked in a dog-daycare for about a year so I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities. My dog I got as a puppy and my family dog is now 14 so i have a good understanding of all ages and their needs. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to tend to your dogs and all their needs, my work is very flexible so with notice I can usually make anything work. I am very thorough about reading and following any instructions given, I will keep strict supervision of your dog, i worked with dogs in a boarding and daycare center for almost a year so my main job was watching and making sure all the dogs are safe, if anything happens to come up I will contact you immediately and I always make sure I know what vet I can contact.

“Lacey was the perfect housesitter plus more! She was so great with our pets and went above and beyond to keep our home together while we were away, including some household cleaning we didn’t ask for, but deeply appreciated. It was so relieving to come home to a home that was cleaner than when we left it! We will 💯 check with Lacey the next time we need care. 10/10 recommend!”


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!

About: I have been working with animals professionally since I was 13. I worked at the Wisconsin Humane Society for 8 years, walking & playing with dogs, and socializing other animals such as cats and rabbits. I have worked as an “Animal Wrangler” at summer camp, tending to new puppies, reptiles, small mammals, etc. around camp! I have lots of experience as a pet sitter for family and friends, and I’ve also been taking care of my own pets my whole life: dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, snakes, you name it! My 2 kitties (Bella and Luna), crested gecko (Rango), and cornsnake (Pabu aka Mr Noodle) are my life. I call them my kids - I’ll treat your pets like I treat my own. I work a regular 8 - 5 on weekdays, so I’ll be available for visits in the evening, and I’m available full time most weekends. Message me and we’ll work something out! I have 2 very friendly cats who have lived with 2 dogs their whole lives up until now, a friendly cornsnake, and adorable created gecko. My fiancé and I call them our kids. We adore all animals and will give your babies some extra love. I don’t have dogs of my own here, so I’d love to be able to take care of yours, for both our sakes! 😊

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was ten years old. In my family, pets have always been a big factor in creating a loving home. My bond with animals is very important to have in my life, which is why I am passionate about for caring them. Family members have relied on me to take care of their dogs and cats. At the moment, I have a cat and a dog who I truly love and care for the most. I hope that seeing this lets you know I care very much for our furry babies. I currently am going to school and working part time. I am looking for new ways to help others and making a little money on the side. I have always enjoyed taking my pets for walks and know that other families would appreciate it as well. I usually get extra time where I am available to trying to new things and feel this is what I should be doing. In my home I have two pets a dog and a cat who I adore very much. I have always treated them like they are my children and give them what they need. I always let my pets go outside and take them on walks as well. I feed them with the right meals they deserve and give them as much love as I can. I have always made sure my pets stay healthy and fit to enjoy their lives as long as they can. No matter what I always try to do the best I can to give the best life for my pets.

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.”

Shelby pet parents share their Rover experiences
Heather was terrific. Her sharing of photos and stories of her time during her stay was welcome, funny and heartwarming. Our dog was at ease, jovial and a bit tired when we showed up, all good things for a German Shorthair Pointer. In the past we have relied on friends and family, none of whom were available this time, so we went with Rover. We couldn't be more pleased.
