About: I have worked with three doggy daycares with different social settings and dynamics small groups to groups of 45. We are trained to care for dogs, of any breed. Poop, or throw up I can handle it. I work part-time my schedule shifts, are Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. However, I can change my shifts to meet your schedule needs. never be afraid to ask and always ask me a week in advance. I have been trained through three different doggy daycare programs that have introduced different training protocols to understand the needs, health, Dog AID, behaviors, and more of different breeds. Your fur babies or little ones will receive all the love and care they need. I will keep you updated with videos, photos, or even FaceTime to show you how everything is going when I visit a client’s home. I always follow and respect the rules, and if I notice anything unusual, I will report it and ask questions, because your pets’ well-being is my top priority.
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.
“Samantha did a great job for us tonight, Thanksgiving, and it was so nice to arrive home to dogs that had been cared for and fed before we got home. We were gone for hours and it was so appreciated that Samantha took time on her busy holiday to take care of our Furry Herd! We have five dogs, three of whom need medication (one is a fairly complicated regimen of three pills and two eye drops for just one of the dogs), and she pulled it off without a hitch. Thanks again, Samantha!!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years! I had dogs growing up and I have my own cat now. I also have my own turtle! I work full time but am able to let dogs out depending on distance throughout the day. I am more than willing to spend quality time with your animal! I am able to stay/visit at houses to support your pet. I am unable to bring cats or dogs into my house due to my cat being a solo cat (her preference).
“Nicole was great! Very thorough on her notes following a visit. Great pictures of my pooch. Always arrived on time. And really treated my pooch with lots of love! Thank you, Nicole”


About: I've grown up with rescue dogs my whole life. For the past 17 years, I've been living and teaching overseas, and no matter where I've been in the world, animals have been part of my family's life. There's something about pets that goes beyond companionship; they're a witness to our lives with no strings attached love- It's our responsibility to be their advocates. Right now I'm home with my little one (11 month old), so I have the time and presence to give your dog or dogs the care, love, and reassurance they need while you're away. Whether it's a neighborhood walk or a longer hike, I'm up for it! Puppies, seniors, anxious pups- I'm happy to help! Being at home with my baby means I have a flexible routine, so pet care fits in easily throughout the day. I can work around what your dog needs, whether it's a morning walk, a midday drop in, or afternoon hike. I know dogs do best with a consistent rhythm, routine, and presence. I can come to you so your dog feels comfortable in their own environment, with their own routine. I'm happy to be a familiar, safe person for them so they can thrive and feel comfortable. I'll follow your lead on feeding routines and anything special that helps support your dog. You know your dog best, I'm there to keep things as consistent as possible while you're away.
About: I’ve been a proud rescue dog mom for 6 years and understand how much our pets mean to us. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I’ll treat them like family. I have experience caring for both dogs and comfortable with pets of all temperaments. I am especially sensitive with dog with separation anxiety as my own dog suffers from that as well. I'm reliable, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I bring a strong background in responsibility and trustworthiness from my job as an Asset Protection Manager. My job requires attention to detail, discretion, and a high level of reliability-all qualities I bring to every job. I’m here to be a responsible and reliable pet care giver while giving your pet the love and attention they deserve—so you can have peace of mind while you're away! I have a very open and flexible schedule—perfect for giving pets the time and attention they deserve! I'm able to adjust my routine to meet each pet's needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions you provide. I pay close attention to each pet’s comfort level and personality, whether that means giving them space to settle in or showering them with affection. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and aim to keep things tidy and calm. In my home, pets have a cozy, safe environment with plenty of love, supervision, and room to relax. Communication is key, so I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! Growing up with both dogs and cats, I was the pet caretaker in my family—handling daily walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles. Those early experiences sparked a love of caring for animals. For the past 4 years, I've been dog walking and pet sitting for a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, belly rubs, or playing fetch, I'm happy to match their energy and routine. I am available for drop in visits/walks in mornings before I go to work and am available anytime after 3pm in the evenings. On the weekends I am available all day. My goal is to make pet care as convenient for both you and your animals! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I am committed to providing a safe and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. If your pet has specific needs, routines, or accommodations, I am happy to make adjustments in my care routine to ensure they feel comfortable. I make sure every pet gets the walks, playtime, supervision, and companionship they need each day.
About: Animals are truly my passion. I hope to have a lot of them someday when I have the money, time and land. In the meantime I’m on rover to spend time with dogs, help people out, and be productive during my free time. I love an excuse to get up early during the week and go for a walk or just hang out with the fuzzy babies. I work part time as a hairstylist and I want to fill the rest of my time doing something that makes me happy! I love physical exercise, I love animals, so I know that I can help pet owners! (I also love animals snuggles) When I stay at your house with your dogs/cats I will be there when agreed upon and overnight if agreed upon. I need to be able to leave for at leave a couple of hours each day I am staying. I’m there for feeding, playing, potties, snuggles, treats, sleeping, and whatever else the furry ones need!
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.
About: I have taken care of my own dogs ever since I was young. I volunteered at the humane society in Waukesha WI for 6 months and spent time with mostly dogs but all animals. I have watched my family and friends dogs many times as well. I am a college student and it is hard being away from my fur baby so I am looking to spend time with some animals and help out where people need it! I am a full time college student with 3 in person classes and 2 online classes so my schedule is super flexible to stop in last minute or help wherever is needed. I unfortunately am not able to host any pets in my home because I am living in the dorms. But taking care of a pet in a clients home sounds great and I will be respectful of the space and clean up after myself.
About: I grew up with dogs, all my life and know how to take care of them and look after them and give them the care and love they need. I am looking for side hustles to make a bit of extra cash, so I am free throughout the week whenever you need a dog sitter or walker. In my house I always make sure that my dogs have fresh, clean and cold water to drink. I always take them on frequent walks in bathroom breaks.

About: I have been living with and caring for animals my entire life. I learned from an early age how to care for and train animals. I can train your puppies on potty training, teaching them new tricks. I taught my dog how to use a doggy doorbell to let me when he needs to go potty. I also grew up around family who were experienced vet techs, who have taught me how to care for common pet injuries, etc. I'm currently beginning training for substitute teaching. But otherwise have a pretty open schedule. So I can be available most times for your pet care needs. I can let your dog outside or take them for walks while you're working so they can get out when you're not home. If you're in Waukesha county I can take them to the dog park and get them some exercise. I can sirens some time teaching them tricks. I'm open to what care you'd like your pup to receive.
“One of my cats is very anxious and shy. Heather did a fabulous job! He was not eating well for the first few days and as such was not getting the med that was put in his food. She was able to “pill him” successfully which helped his anxiety and he came around and stopped hiding and ate a little better the rest of the days I was gone. Peace of mind that all was being addressed! I would book her again in a heartbeat! Thank you Heather!”

“Ashley was able to help us out on very short notice. We were at a wedding out of town and she came to our house to give our dog his afternoon medication. She actually sent a video of her giving the medication at the time we had scheduled with her. It’s amazing to find someone who really cared for our dog. We will definitely use Ashley again!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sussex stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sussex choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Sussex with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
