“Mackenzie was great! She did a stop in visit to feed my three cats and went above and beyond. Not only did she send plenty of photos, she also took a quick look at the litter boxes. Would go with again!”

About: I have had pets my entire life. At this time, I am petless, so I would love to love on your pets. Family and friends have relied on me to watch, walk, and play with their furry friends. I and my husband are retired so we have a lot of time to spend with your dog and will walk them a few times a day and play with them. They will always have someone with them. I take younger dogs for a morning, afternoon and night walk. I adjust the number of walks and distance if they are older dogs. I also play with them. They can sleep on the bed and furniture.
About: We lost our sweet Blue (11 year old labradoodle) 3 years ago of bone cancer, and have recently become empty nesters. We LOVE dogs, and our cat has missed his canine companion. Our yard is over an acre, and includes a wooded area. We are also located near beautiful trails that we can walk to. Both of us work from home the majority of the time, and we will only open our home up to furry house guests if we are sure that at least one of us is available to be home the majority of the day. Your dog will love the extra love and attention that they will receive, and we tend to be a bit lenient with letting dogs on furniture/beds. Most of our neighbors own dogs, and there are young children next door. That being said, a dog that is friendly with other dogs and not wary of children would LOVE a vacation with us. I am working part time, and my husband works at least 1/2 of the time from home. We are flexible with dog schedules, and have experience with "elderly" dogs with special needs. We have a large yard (over an acre), which is not fenced in. Our neighborhood connects to walking trails and parks, so your dog will have ample exercise opportunities. We are extremely flexible with our schedules, and can adapt to meet your dog's current routines.
About: I've been taking care of all types of animals for several years. Including snakes, lizards, cats dogs, and even a tarantula. I've provided exercise, care and the same love I have for my animals at home. I care daily for my own two cats, and work part time as a pet/ house sitter. Please check with me for my upcoming availability. I can rearrange my schedule to suit your needs. I will take care of your animal's needs with attention and care. Whether that means following a special meal plan, going on ten walks a day, or anything else they require. I’m happy to provide references from past clients. If you ever have any questions or concerns, feel free to call or text me anytime. My phone is always open to you.
“Miranda is thoughtful, thorough, and so compassionate. She took excellent care of our four cats, one of whom is elderly and ill and on his final chapter. We felt so relieved knowing that he was in good hands while we were away.”
About: I recently rescued a senior beagle from Alabama, and she is truly the queen of my home! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have always been the go‑to pet helper for friends and family. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I have years of hands‑on experience with small dogs, senior pups, and gentle, patient care. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog attention, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I I work 2–3 twelve‑hour shifts a week, and the rest of my days are completely open. My schedule is flexible, so on my days off I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, drop‑ins, and giving pets lots of attention. Even on work weeks, my schedule doesn’t change much, so it’s easy for me to plan consistent care. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. On walks, I use secure leashes, stay alert to other dogs and distractions, and keep a calm, steady pace. During drop‑ins, I follow your routine exactly and make sure your home is locked and secure before I leave. I’m gentle, patient, and always respectful of your pet’s comfort level. You can trust that your pup and your home are in good hands.
About: I've lived with animals my entire life. Growing up, we had five dogs, four cats, bunnies and guinea pigs, snakes and lizards, fish, and chickens. Currently, while living at home in the summers, we have snakes, lizards, spiders, a cat, and three dogs, one of which is mine. My dog Winston is a service dog in training that my mom and I are owner-training. While I'm in no way a professional trainer, I can help with teaching or maintaining the basics with any dog. I'm currently home for the summer from school and waiting on an application for a part-time job. I am free most of the day right now, as I haven't started working yet. So, I can come over and take care of any pet's needs most any time. I can take care of your animals' needs any time, whether it's taking them on a walk, letting them outside, feeding, cleaning up, or playing with them. My dogs at home are crate trained, so if your dog also stays in a crate at certain points of the day or night, I can easily crate them.
“Melita did an amazing job taking care of my dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter and would happily book with her again in the future.”


“Wonderful sitter! Took extra care to spend time with our pets to make sure they weren't alone & provided us with updates. We'll absolutely be thrilled to work with Paul again for future trips.”

“Ambria did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and went above and beyond bringing in our mail and taking care of the garbage. We felt completely confident that our cat was in good hands. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”

“Madeline has helped out with Cleo twice now. She has been amazing taking great care of her and taking her on walks and sending lots of photos of her! She truly does a great job!”

About: Hi there! I'm Olivia, a dedicated and passionate dog lover with extensive experience in pet care. I have volunteered at numerous humane societies, providing care and companionship to dogs of all breeds and sizes. I also have multiple dogs of my own, ensuring I understand each pet's unique needs. I have also helped family friends and neighbors with pet sitting as well! My experience includes volunteer dog walking at HAWS in Waukesha (3 years) and the Eau Claire County Humaine Society (1 year). I have a Chocolate Lab named Ellie (4) and a Yellow lab/husky mix named Lexi (8). In addition to this, I have also dog-sat many of the dogs in my neighborhood and taken care of smaller animals such as rabbits. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine. I have lots of free time to dedicate to your pets. Being home for the summer from school means I have even more flexibility to accommodate your schedule. Whether it's early morning, midday, or evening walks, or pet sitting, I'm available to provide the best care for your pet. I am available on weekdays and most weekends. In your home, I ensure your pet stays in a familiar environment. I provide feeding, walking, playtime, and any other necessary care to keep your pet comfortable and happy. I am well-equipped to meet your pet's specific needs. I know how important pets are; they are family. I can confidently say that I will always do what is in the best interest of your pet and take care of them like they are my own.
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve cared for cats since childhood, regularly looked after a spirited but lovable German Shepherd, and spent time around various animals including livestock. Currently, I work at a premium dog kennel and daycare, where I’ve gained valuable experience managing dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. What truly sets me apart is my deep rooted love and comfort around animals. I connect with them easily and genuinely enjoy their company more than anything else. Their well-being is always my first priority. My work schedule can vary between 6 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., but pet care still fits naturally into my routine. I work at a dog kennel/daycare, which gives me the unique ability to bring dogs with me if I have a long shift or if they need all-day supervision. Dogs are evaluated for daycare, and if they’re not comfortable around others, they’ll go into private play—where they get one-on-one outdoor time every few hours. The accommodations include beds, water bowls, and even free dog food if needed. I cover the cost myself, so your pet’s comfort and care are always a priority. We also offer baths at my work, which could come in handy for some dog owners. Since I’m unable to bring pets into my home, I offer in-home sitting and care. I believe the best care comes from following the pet owner’s instructions closely—no one knows their pet better than they do. I’m here to provide exactly what they feel is best for their pet’s comfort and routine. Through my work at a professional dog kennel, I’ve gained valuable experience recognizing signs of stress or discomfort in animals. If a pet seems uneasy with me or their environment, I adjust immediately to ensure they feel safe and secure. Additionally, if you're a beginner pet parent with any questions or concerns about caring for your pet, I’m happy to offer guidance and advice to help you feel confident in your role as a pet owner.

Sussex cat parents share their Rover experiences
Allison was an amazing sitter for our four cats — Stanley, Pebbles, Murphy, and Harley. Stanley is a full-time attention hog, but Allison made sure everyone got their cuddles and pets during each visit. She also flawlessly handled Stanley’s nightly oral medication (6/6 successful doses 👏), which is no small feat. All cats are on various different prescription foods, and she fed them perfectly, kept water bowls full, and made sure dry food was always available. We loved the detailed Rover report cards and all the photos — it was clear she spent the full hour with them, just as requested. I know we are coming home to happy, well-cared-for cats and total peace of mind. She also brought all our packages into the house, which is a bonus.
