About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—growing up in a home full of fish, birds, cats, dogs, and rodents taught me early on that pets are family. I truly believe every animal deserves love, patience, and attentive care. Today, I share my home with my friendly dog Birdie, who loves meeting new furry friends and makes a great playmate. My two kids are also passionate animal lovers, and together we create a safe, warm, and pet-friendly environment. I’m experienced in administering medications, whether pills, drops, or topical treatments, and I’m happy to support pets with special needs. I also offer daily walks for exercise and enrichment, and I’m comfortable with crate training if it’s part of your routine. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or relaxed, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own. I work full-time during the week, but on my weekends off, I love spending my time caring for animals. Pet care has always been a part of my life, and I’m excited to offer reliable, loving support to fellow pet parents when I’m available. Whether it’s weekend drop-ins, walks, or cuddles while you’re away, I’m here to help give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is fully pet-friendly and thoughtfully pet-proofed to ensure a secure environment. I use baby gates to create designated pet areas, so dogs can have their own space or be kept out of certain rooms when needed. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard—perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Fresh water is always available in multiple areas of the home to keep pets hydrated throughout the day. Whether your pet loves to run or relax, they’ll have a secure, comfortable, and caring space to enjoy.
“Lydia did a great job dropping in to take care of my cat. She had to give pills, kept me updated well, and sent pictures every time! My cat seemed happy when I returned and the house was well taken care of. Would hire again!”
“Joan provided absolutely fantastic care for our senior cat! She gave lots of updates and clearly made the extra effort to make Gus feel cared for while we were away. She is extremely communicative. Thank you Joan!”
“Tina does an amazing job with our girl, Stevie. She’s thorough, fun, and so knowledgeable with dog care. We always know Stevie is taken care of and happy when she is with Tina. And Tina does a little training when she checks in on Stevie which is so great!”
“Jen was amazing! We loved getting daily updates and pictures. We could always tell from the photos that our boys were having the time of their lives. Can't wait to have Jen back again!”
“Hailey did amazing the pups were happy and we were happy. We only cut our trip short because I got sick but we will definitely be using her again. Thank you Hailey for taking care of Luna and Kane.”
“Very reliable! Nasimul and Dominique would lmk when they started and ended the visits. Sent tons of pics and were super responsive. They even brought up packages for me and took it upon themselves to sweep up litter from my living room!”
“Alexandria was amazing she went above and beyond for our family while out of town. My dog Indy looks forward to her visits and she took care of my hens too. Amazing.”
“Katherine was very responsive and flexible. She seemed to put a lot of thought into making sure my cat was having a good time, making sure that she had both play time and cuddle time.”
“Keely was great. Good communication and took wonderful pics of my cats during her visits while making sure everything was in order. Couldn’t have gone any smoother.”
“Anna has been amazing each time shes dropped in! My dogs need to be kept separated and she makes sure that of it. I feel like my babies are in safe hands! She includes a detailed description of the drop in visit with multiple pictures. I plan on hiring her again! Thank you!”

“Samantha has been so wonderful with my Australian Shepard. She gives amazing updates and always sends multiple picture updates! She is a great and compassionate sitter, Jonee and I appreciate her!”
“Vanessa really has a way of putting me and the cats at ease. She was very professional during the meet and greet, took notes while I explained the feeding routine and asked relevant questions. I left for my trip knowing the cats would be in good hands. She also takes great pet photos. I felt like she really respected each of my cats and their individual boundaries. I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone needing cat care.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals. Spending time with pets is truly one of my favorite things, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality, whether that means playing with an energetic dog, giving extra attention to a cuddly cat, or providing gentle companionship to a senior pet. I believe pets thrive when they feel loved, comfortable, and understood, so I focus on building trust and creating a positive experience for them while you're away. Being around animals brings me so much joy, and I take pride in making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. You can count on me to provide plenty of affection, attention, and personalized care, along with regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands. I am currently a nursing student at UW Madison and have time throughout both the week and weekend to spend time with your pet! Typically earlier or later in the day is best for me but I am able to be flexible. I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and at ease — feeding them on schedule, going on walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from their owner. I spend a lot of time giving attention and affection, whether that’s active play for energetic pets or calm companionship for seniors or more relaxed animals. I always try to make them feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also send updates so you know how they’re doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Carley is a delight and such a wonderful sitter! Incredibly sweet and a natural with animals, I had no worry at all leaving my pups in her care. Regular check-ins and photo updates throughout the weekend. I highly recommend Carley and will definitely try to book her again.”
“Kathryn was amazing! Kept gus busy, happy, and enriched. Provided great updates and the best photos ever!!!!! Reliable and great communication :) 10/10 recommend”
“Keezieng's assistance was a lifesaver this holiday season. His politeness and kindness when meeting us and our cat Olivia was reassuring and he did a great job of updating us during his visits while we were away. We’re so grateful for the excellent care provided!”
“Megan is awesome!! Megan was able to help us with feeding and checking in on our cats. Our cats have different foods/needs and Megan handled it all well! Definitely will use for pet sitting again!!”
Truax pet parents share their Rover experiences
Baylee was AMAZING! She was flexible with the times she was able to stop over, carefully watched the weather and opened and closed the windows so the cats could stay entertained while we were gone but the house didn’t get wet 🙃 our shy cat even came out to see her every time she stopped over! She kept us up to date with pictures and information with each visit. Would definitely use her again
Vanessa is a pleasure to work with - relaxed, pleasant and professional: she gave me confidence that my beloved critters would receive competent and reliable care. The app facilitated an easy exchange and the photos at each visit are a comfort. Vanessa will be at the top of my list to ask for assistance next time I’m leaving town.
Mary is wonderful! We hired her to check on our cat, Kirree, last minute before going out of town for a weekend, and Mary was responsive, trustworthy, and enthusiastic. She shared clear and descriptive updates and pictures from her visits with Kirree. She seems to have a way with cats and Kirree was thrilled to see her. I will definitely hire Mary again.
Alex was great and took wonderful care of my K9 child. He was great about communicating and providing photos during check-ins etc. I would highly recommend Alex as a trustworthy, professional pet sitter to take care of your fur babies while you’re away. Will book him again!
It was a pleasure meeting with Christine and having her watch our cat, Kuzya. It was easy to communicate with her and arrange everything. She understood how to connect with Kuzya and sent us great pictures and updates. We will definitely contact her again when we need a cat sitter!
Lily took great care of my cats and was extremely patient in attempting to give one of them her medication. She even came back an additional time one day to try again, which I really appreciated. My cats were well cared for, and it was clear she genuinely wanted to do a good job. There was one day when I had to reach out to confirm she had stopped by, and she apologized, explaining that her phone had died during the visit. Overall, I appreciated her effort, reliability, and care for my pets!
