“Natalia is amazing. This is the second time I’ve used her and my very picky cat knows Natalia and seems to enjoy having her as a sitter. I feel fully comfortable to relax, instead of worry, about Calypso when Natalie is there.”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“Beth was wonderful to work with! She took care of our two cats and kept everything clean and tidy while we were gone for a month. We couldn’t be happier with how well everything went. She checked in with us throughout the month and she was always quick to respond. She is also very personable and caring. It was easy to relax on vacation knowing our cats were well taken care of. We highly recommend Beth for taking care of your animals!”
“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.”
About: I provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and those with special diets or medications. I'm also great with shy or anxious pets and enjoy building trust with them. Caring after pets fits perfectly with my usual schedule. I'm free on weeknights and completely available from Friday through the weekend, making weekend getaways easy to plan! When I care for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I give them plenty of attention, playtime, and love, just like you would. I also keep everything clean and make sure they’re well-fed, exercised, and happy while you're away.
About: Until college, I had never lived in a home without a dog. And from a young age, I was taught everything I need to know about caring for them. Between my parents, we currently have five dogs, a cat, and four guinea pigs. My siblings and I have been working hard for years to care for our fur-babies, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I work every weekday from 7am to 5pm, so I can’t work on weekdays, but I am completely free on weekends to care for your pup! During weekdays, my work schedule limits my communication, which is why I offer same day booking and cancellation for the weekends! I can’t imagine a better way to spend my Saturday and Sunday! Back home, I care for all five dogs differently, based on their breed and personality. Our oldest mutt needs constant brushing, our golden retriever needs weekly shaving, our terrier needs to be leashed when outside, our labrador needs her thunder shirt for storms, and our chihuahua needs training to be friendlier to guests. I am prepared for all kinds of pups!
“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’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.
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.
“Ally is SO sweet! She really helped ease my mind leaving my foster kittens home while I worked by checking on them, playing with them, feeding them, and sending me the cutest photos! Great communication, very professional - highly 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.
“Heather is a true cat-sitting superstar! She did an amazing job taking care of my furry friends, and I couldn't be happier with her services. Not only was Heather prompt and reliable, but she also made sure my cats were entertained and content during my absence. When I returned home, my kitties were purring with joy, clearly showing they had a blast with Heather. If you're in need of a top-notch cat-sitter, look no further. Heather is the real deal! five stars all the way!”

“I highly recommend Eileen for your pet care needs! She was so gentle, caring and enthusiastic to walk and care for my Bear.

She has always had dogs in her family and she is constantly playing with them in her back yard and taking them for walks. I have 2 elderly dogs and 2 younger large dogs. Ella is top notch with all the ages and requirements of my dogs. One is on a special diet and she makes sure that particular dog gets special attention when doing the feedings. She walks them and cuddles them! She is a sweet girl and very reliable. She is also great at communication and texts me with updates. I would highly recommend Ella for any age dog(s)😍”

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.”
