“Jenna is absolutely wonderful. This was our first time ever using a app like this before so it was very scary for us but Jenna helped us through it. Sent us daily pictures and updates and made us feel comfortable will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

“Bobbi was very communicative and reliable with check ins on my dog. She did great with my senior rescue who is usually very timid and shy, but she got out her out for two walks a day! Will definitely book with Bobbi again!”

“Thanks again for taking great care of Luna & Marci! Travis has been watching my dogs for years before he joined the Rover platform and my dogs always love to see him. Glad he made the move to Rover - just makes it even better having booking, payment, communication all in one convenient app.”

“Great communication and support for our pup. Jessica spent plenty of time with him while we were away and we loved seeing the pictures of him too! Would recommend!”

“We are so happy to have found Jenny to care for our dogs while we’re away! She is very punctual and communicative. We loved receiving pictures of our fur babies from her every time she visited. She is very friendly and warm. Our dogs, who are normally wary of new people, both fell in love with her instantly. She didn’t even seem to mind that they are a little naughty and like to jump up on people when they first come in. We will definitely be requesting Jenny again in the future. Even when her whole neighborhood flooded while we were gone, she was putting on her boots and ready to WALK to our house to check in on our doggos. So even in a natural disaster, you can depend on Jenny to be there for your animals while you’re away.”

“Ellie was very professional, polite, trustworthy, and has a great head on her shoulders. I knew as soon as we met that she was the right fit for my boys. She was really flexible with her availability too. I have 2 cats and one is very outgoing and one is shy at first. He felt comfortable coming out to eat and get pets when Ellie came. She has excellent communication skills, followed directions and asked questions when necessary. We would definitely use Ellie's services again. We had a great experience using Rover for the first time also. We have used multiple different friends, some who even have cats, in the past, but they did not meet our expectations or quantity standards. Ellie was the opposite of our previous experiences and really did a fantastic job. The cats really liked her. She gave them treats, pate with their probiotics, opened the sliding door to give the boys fresh air and a nice view of the grass, birds, and pond out back. It was a wonderful idea and much appreciated!!! The cats both love looking outside and bird watching. I would highly recommend you give Ellie a chance and let her take care of your pet(s). You will not be disappointed. Thanks soo much Ellie!! My cats are my world.”

“Thank you so much for the updates and for taking care of our three furballs so we could spend some much needed time away with family! Olivia is very dependable and I would highly recommend her anytime for your pet care needs!”

About: If your smaller non-shedding dog (up to 40 lbs) does not like other pets, I'm your sitter! There are no other pets in the house, and I specialize in dogs who do not like other animals. Have owned and loved dogs my entire adult life. In retirement I've chosen not to own one, but I miss those little guys so much and would love to love on your precious pet. I am retired and can fully care for your smaller (up to 40#), potty-trained, non-shedding dog. On weekends in the summer I may talk to you about your friend joining me at my camper. I will provide care for your smaller non-shedding dog without other animals in my home. Perfect for those cuddlers who would rather not have competition for my attention!

“Brandi is great to work with and my Brenda Mountain dog just loves her! She sent lots of photos and was great at communicating. I would highly recommend!!”

About: With many years of experience with pets of all kinds, loving and caring for animals is a passion of mine and always has been. I’ve grown up with a house full of pets my entire life. My experience has given me a natural level of comfort with animals and trust is established quickly. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, seamlessly blending into my lifestyle. Here’s how it typically fits in: 1. **Morning Care**: I start my day early to attend to the pets. This includes feeding them breakfast, refreshing their water, and taking dogs for a morning walk or play session. For cats, I ensure they have fresh food and engage them with some interactive play. 2. **Regular Check-ins**: Throughout the day, I take breaks to check on the pets, ensuring they are comfortable and have access to their essentials. This includes monitoring their behavior, providing companionship, and offering short play sessions. 3. **Afternoon Activities**: In the afternoon, I dedicate time for more structured play or training sessions, especially for dogs. 4. **Evening Routine**: As the day winds down, I prepare dinner for the pets, ensuring they receive the appropriate portions. After dinner, I spend quality time with them, offering affection and playtime before settling down for the night. By integrating pet care into my daily and weekly schedule, I ensure that each pet receives the attention, love, and care they need, while also maintaining a balanced and fulfilling routine for myself. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's home, involves a comprehensive approach tailored to each animal's specific needs. Here’s how I typically manage pet care: 1. **Daily Routine**: Establishing a consistent daily routine is crucial. This includes scheduled feeding times, regular potty breaks, and exercise sessions. For dogs, I ensure they get walks or playtime, while for cats, I provide opportunities for interactive play and exploration. 2. **Feeding**: I follow specific dietary guidelines based on the pet’s age, size, and health requirements. This involves measuring out portions, offering fresh water, and accommodating any dietary restrictions or preferences. 3. **Health and Hygiene**: Regular grooming is essential, especially for dogs with longer coats. I brush them to prevent matting and reduce shedding. 4. **Exercise and Enrichment**: Physical and mental stimulation is vital for pets. For dogs, I incorporate walks, fetch, and playdates, while for cats, I provide toys, scratching posts, and climbing structures. 5. **Safe Environment**: I ensure that the living space is safe and comfortable. This includes removing any hazardous items, providing cozy resting areas, and ensuring that pets have access to safe spaces where they can retreat when they need. 6. **Communication with Clients**: If caring for a client's pet, I maintain open communication, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns they may have. This includes sharing daily logs of activities, behavior changes, and any observations regarding their pet's health. By combining these elements, I create a nurturing and safe environment that promotes the well-being of pets in my care, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-loved.

“Jennifer was great! She was excellent at communicating and asking the right questions to get at the best care for our two senior cats. She sent updates and photos, and we felt confident our kitties were getting the best care possible while we were gone!”

About: I’ve had pets for my whole life including multiple dog breeds, cats, lizards, and fish. I have pet-sat for friends and family for a few years and I am excited to start officially working as a pet caretaker! I am currently studying Zoology at UW Madison and I am looking forward to pursuing a career in animal care and rehabilitation. During the summer, I work part time minimally so I will have plenty of time to care for your animals mid-day, overnight, and everything in between! I do not offer animal care out of my residence but I will gladly drive the distance to care for your pets inside of your house! I will feed, leash, harness, and kennel animals as requested and bathe and administer medication if appropriate.

“Alli did an excellent job! We felt confident she would know exactly what to do for our animals. Her communication was timely, and she provided lots of details and photos. We will definitely book Alli again!”

I've been dog sitting for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments for 20 years. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing fetch, and of course, lots of snuggles!

I live in an apartment with lots of areas to walk and play. I can also come to you if that is your preference, just let me know.

About: Since I was four I took care of my own dog who recently passed. I am looking to fulfill my growing need to love for and take care of animals. I volunteer at my local animal shelter where I watch cats and dogs of all ages and breeds. I have dogsat dogs as big as Newfoundlands and as small at Shih Tzus. I currently have two jobs and I am going to college in the fall but I am looking for this to be an end of summer job. I know how to use crates, gates, and doors needed for blocking the pets off or keeping them contained. I also know basic safety for dogs and cats as I had to be trained to volunteer at my animal shelter.
