“Emily did a fantastic job watching Tuukka while we were traveling to India for a wedding. She sent daily updates with lots of photos and we knew our pup was well take care of when we were away!”

“We had Keisha stay for a 7 day sit for our dog and cat. Keisha was incredible and everything we could have ever wanted in a sitter! She sent us updates at least daily, sometimes more with pictures which is what we requested! I made an error and she was flexible with adding another day to her stay! Could not recommend her enough, we will definitely use her again in the future!!”


About: I’ve been looking after fluffy frens of all shapes and sizes from a young age. My time doing a full house/dog sitting gig was for my grandparents and their French bulldog, Sugar (miss you, Sugs!). Since then I have been the go-to for my friends and family for taking care of their for legged family. I make sure your fury family gets the love and care they need, whether you just have one smol dog or a pack of greyhounds. I currently had a stretch of rough health luck, but my ails are your pups gain! I’m currently on the mend, and it’s going well, but between jobs, so my schedule is wide open. I’ll have the time to give your pups the TLC they deserve! Currently unavailable to board pets at my house, but I will make sure to treat all pets in a safe and caring way. I’ll treat them like a newborn baby, because hey, in a way they are!
“Emily is incredible with my senior dog, Bernie. She's gentle and patient and is understanding of the unfortunate accident or 2 requiring clean up on some visits. I have peace of mind knowing she will be there for Bernie!”

“It was our second time hiring Elizabeth, another positive experience. My pooch likes his walks and we are grateful she is ok with taking him. She is great with giving updates and sending photos. Upon return the house was just as we left it.”


“Scott was our first introduction to Rover. We really appreciated that he could come on short notice to sit with our 22-week old puppy. We loved Scott's relaxed and gentle way with our dog who is so excited to meet someone new, but is still in manners training in how to greet people. Scott quickly picked up on what we were trying to teach and went along with that routine. Scott arrived on the dot of our agreed time and we plan to ask him to come again!”

“Cindy took care of our dog Frankie and our house and is hands down the best Rover experience we have ever had!!! After our meet and greet we knew Frankie and our house were being left in good hands. We returned home without having anything to worry about thanks to Cindy! She is booked for our next trip! She is absolutely wonderful!”

“Maiah did a terrific job taking care of my dog. She gave us daily updates and photos, left the house clean and even stayed with my dog so she didn’t get lonely! Amazing!”


“We love these two! We know they love our dogs and they treat them like their own. (Sometimes we wonder if our dogs even want to come back home!!) It's so nice to know that our dogs are so well taken care of when we have to be away. Thank you!”


About: Taking care of dogs is something I have enjoyed for much of my life, even a malanois can’t resist my affection! I’m very excited to have fun with your fur baby! I am currently working part time so my availability is open to help you and your lovely pet! I am able to easily balance your pet care with my own schedule. Figuring out your pets needs is crucial, then building a good routine around play, rest and bathroom breaks. Building a good routine is very important for me to develop a good relationship with your friend!

“Jamila is the Best! Repeat dog walking and in-house sitting and she is consistently great with our now 9year old dog and cat. She is a part of the pack now :)”

“Molly is the best! She is very patient and caring with our senior dogs. She takes initiative to engage and enrich our pups with lots of fun and play. Of equal, if not greater, importance is her quick thinking when unforeseen events arise. She’s shrewd, highly responsible, and I trust her in an emergency. She is always our first choice. All around, she’s a stellar human and highly capable sitter!”

“Julianna was incredible! She stayed at my house for a week while we were gone to watch Sophia. She kept me updated on everything that was going on and gave her some extra love when she needed it. Sophia doesn’t love being away from us but Julianna made sure she was okay and did everything she could to make sure she was happy! Would definitely recommend her <3”
“Lexi was great with my particular and somewhat shy senior dog. We planned drop-ins prior to the full weekend, which worked great for Lexi and my Coco to get to know each other a little. Lexi is very responsive and gave updates. I will feel more comfortable taking trips and time away with Lexi caring for my girl!”

“Ivy was a fantastic sitter for our dog! He can be fearful meeting new people, but Ivy was so patient with him and they were besties in no time. We received lots of updates and photos, our apartment was left in great condition and our dog’s needs were met above and beyond. Knowing he was in good hands made being away a lot easier. :)”

They are my favorites 🙂↕️ Availability: Wednesday: 8am to 10:30am/ 5pm to 10pm Thursday: 5pm to 10pm Open availability on Friday, Saturday and Sunday If you have any questions or requests outside of my schedule, I will do my best to work with you.

“Jackie took such great care of Daisy for me while I was out of town for several days. I didn't worry about a thing while I was gone, she sent texts with photos and updates. Everything was fantastic and I will definitely call her again!”

“This was our first experience with Rover and we feel so fortunate to have found Jenn. It was our first time leaving our two dogs in the care of someone other than family. She sent us regular updates and photos. We can home to two very happy and well taken care of pups! Jenn was very responsive and professional. We would certainly use her again and highly recommend her.”

“Ashley took absolutely excellent care of our cat while we were out of the country for a week! I knew from the moment she met our cat during our meet and greet that our little girl was going to be in great hands. Throughout the trip, Ashley reached out with check-ins and photos reflecting how well she was being taken care of. She also responded quickly to any messages and went above and beyond watching our place. We (and our cat) look forward to seeing her again in the future!”

“Melissa watched my kittens for five days while I was away and she was absolutely great! Very dependable and provided updates. She sent me photos and was a great communicator. She took excellent care of my kittens and home. I had peace of mind while away from them for the first time while they were in Melissa’s care. I highly recommend her and I’d love to have her care for them again in the future. Thanks Melissa!”

Story Hill pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alena did a great job taking care of my pup! I booked on short notice, and she was extremely gracious and accommodating, and even she made time for a meet and greet prior. She was prompt in responses when I reached out and sent check-in updates and photos as well. I would definitely recommend and will be rebooking if the need arises!

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She communicated wonderfully from the start and even met with me ahead of time to get to know my dog’s routine and feel comfortable with the space. While I was away, she sent daily updates with pictures of Stewart completely abandoning dad to cuddle with his new friend! 😂 I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

Amanda was wonderful. This was the first time we traveled without our puppy and we were a bit apprehensive. However, Amanda eased our concerns. She arrived a few minutes early which signaled a level of reliability that was very welcome. While we were away, Amanda provided regular updates and pictures. As a result, we were able to enjoy our vacation. And our puppy seemed to genuinely enjoy Amanda. We will definitely use Amanda again. We would feel very comfortable leaving our puppy with her.
Cindy took care of our dog Frankie and our house and is hands down the best Rover experience we have ever had!!! After our meet and greet we knew Frankie and our house were being left in good hands. We returned home without having anything to worry about thanks to Cindy! She is booked for our next trip! She is absolutely wonderful!

Paige is an amazing, young woman and was so loving to my pups. We had a hard journey driving from FL to Milwaukee, and I wanted someone to hang with them while catching up with friends. I could not have picked anyone better. Within minutes, my little Elsa was in love with Paige and King had a new girl friend! I searched the night before and thank God, Paige was the answer :) Obviously, highly recommend Paige.

Esterah was so great with our pets during the house sitting. Our dog is very nervous and she was patient with him when she first arrived. We got lots up updates. She asked questions during the meet and greet and the house sitting which was much appreciated. We came home to a clean house and happy pets!
