About: Over 12 years professionally caring for dogs, and I’ve owned them for 30 years. Professional dog groomer, nail care and light clipper clean ups available. I’m a professional pet groomer working to get my in-home grooming service going. In the meantime, I’m doing gig work, which means the most flexible schedule to make it work for you. Excellent at following instructions and communication. I believe in positive reinforcement training and responses to behavior. I’m extremely strong due to my job, and will have no problem handling any size dog with any behavior level. I am well versed in dog body language and psychology.

“Emily is a sweet woman who is definitely an animal lover! My dog fell in love with her and thoroughly enjoyed each walk they went on. I highly recommend Emily as she is dependable and will be wonderful with your fur baby!”



“Hillary did an amazing job walking my shy pup and quickly won her over! In addition to being amazing with my dog, Hillary did and excellent job communicating with me about how my dog did on their walks, tactics she used to help build up my dog's confidence, and Hillary even helped clean up a potted plant that my dog had knocked over one day. I would highly recommend Hillary to anyone looking for care for their pets!”


About: I have experience with every kind of dog! Puppies, senior dogs, I am also used to administering medication to dogs. I have been working as a k9 coach for the past year! I am super patient, kind, and understanding I have a super flexible schedule! I am very open to anything last minute. I can do multiple walks a day as well! I am also more than happy to just stay the whole day if house sitting! I would say my animals are so spoiled! I am very gentle. I am someone who believes that yelling at an animal won’t do anything. So I would say I have a very gentle but effective approach.

About: I have had pets ever since I was born and love nothing more than quality time with animals! I am a college student looking for some much needed time away from the books and surrounded by pets. I currently have classes on Monday and Wednesdays and am looking to spend time caring for fur babies every other day of the week! I absolutely adore all types, sizes, ages, of pets and want to help you and your family out in any way I can. I am available throughout the weekdays to help let your dog out, take them on walks, feed them, and so much more! I also have experience washing dogs if needed.

“Matthew provides excellent service! He has walked our Berner multiple times and always provides detailed reports and photos afterwards. He takes extra care on hot days to make sure our dog stops for water breaks during the walk and has a full water bowl when he leaves. Matthew handles our big dog well and definitely recommend his services!”


About: I've been pet-sitting since I was young and have always loved spending time with animals. I also worked at a dog daycare where I gained hands-on experience with various breeds and temperaments. I learned effective training techniques for puppies and how to care for senior dogs with extra needs. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just good company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away! I'm currently a student living on campus, but I’ll be available for long-term pet care starting in June. Over the summer, I’m open to dog-sitting, boarding, and house-sitting for extended periods, and I’m happy to work around your schedule to provide flexible, reliable care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly—free of hazards and tailored to their needs and routines. I pay close attention to any instructions provided, from feeding and medication to favorite toys or walk times. I also prioritize trust and communication by keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages, so they feel confident and reassured while they’re away. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just being a calming presence, I treat every pet like they’re my own.

About: Hi, I’m Jade! A little about me: I grew up in a home with a Great Dane, bunny, and cockatiel! My passion for animals took off through one of my first jobs working in a pet store. More recently, through an amazing fostering experience, my passion grew and I became all-in for animals. I work currently as a receptionist at a vet clinic and plan to get my vet tech license in a couple of years. I love all parts of my job, but most of all seeing the patients!!! I am new to Rover, but I have been watching the pets of my friends and family for years. I have cared for dogs with special instructions and have done check-ins, morning and night, as well as stay-overnights. I love animals of all kinds, and am excited to get to know yours and get all the cuddles I can! I am interested in expanding my care and experience in taking care of animals, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with special cases! It is my hope that I can earn your trust to care for your fur baby(ies) like they’re my own while you’re away :) I’m mostly doing pet care on my weekends and days off, where I will be most readily available to make sure your pets get the most thorough care I can give. I can, however, do very early morning and later night check ins if needed. I want to make sure you feel comfortable with your pet in my care and am happy to send you as many updates and pictures as you need! I will handle your fur baby with so much love and affection and make sure I stick to any instructions you may have for me!

About: My friends and neighbors are always asking me to continue to watch their animals when they are on vacation, I started at 15, I am 21. I also have experience with taking care of pets while babysitting. I am going for Occupational Therapy, as I am a very caring person which is why I would love to help out when people need care for their pets. I am currently a student at UW-Madison. I am able to work around my class schedule! Besides class, I am always free to take care of someone’s loved pet! I am great with making sure your pets get the time outside they deserve. I love being outside and going on walks. I will make sure your pet is fed, taken out, and given as many pets as they want!
