“Kaitlyn was amazing! She updated daily and made sure our babies were so well taken care of. She went above and beyond and I’m so grateful we chose to book with her. I will absolutely be booking her for any future needs for our pups.”
“Sumer went above and beyond! She was there for me in a time of crisis and I will never forget that. She helped me out and was very flexible when it was really needed. Also, my dogs love her! I can't believe how fast my shy guy came out of his shell for her! Yay Sumer! Thank you so much!”
“Mary did such a great job taking care of my dog! She kept me updated and was reliable. She would send me picture/video updates daily and I could tell my dog loved being with her. I felt really comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Definitely recommend!”
“Deanne did a great job making me feel comfortable with leaving my puppy with her over a three day weekend. She sent updates with how he was doing with pictures . Which I found comforting being far away . I would book with her again .”
“I left my 15+ year old Jack Russell mix for two weeks. He has anxiety issues, as well as other issues that come with old age. I was concerned about leaving him as I had never left him anywhere before. Theresa was wonderful! Blackie thrived in her care! He slept like a rock, ate like a pig, got to play with other dogs and spend lots of time outdoors in the sun! I wouldn’t think of leaving a dog with anyone else! Thank you!”
“Wonderful! Her home was well kept and she was very attentive to my dogs! I loved the updates and the way she made them a part of the family during their stay. I would definitely bring them back!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was really young. Other than always having a dog of my own, I’ve taken care of pets of family, friends, and neighbors. This past year has really been the first time I’ve been without a pet. My daughter and I have a lot of love and attention to give any furry friend. I have early mornings and late afternoon-evening open Monday-Friday open and most weekends are completely open. Holiday time will have more availability with my Thanksgiving and winter break. I have a pretty big yard and a quiet neighborhood perfect for taking walks. I plan to do my best to make sure your pet feels as at home as possible when in my care.
“Traci provided a wonderful experience for my pup! It was my first time leaving her since I adopted her and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the whole experience. Traci made my girl feel right at home and sent me updates and pictures that really eased any worries I may have had. I will definitely request Traci again in the future.”
“Thomas & Emily are the best pet sitters ever. The love & attention given to Abbey was exceptional. Abbey loved playing with Monster & she was treated like their own which made it so much easier to be away. We loved the updates, photos & video. Meds were also given morning & night. We highly recommend Thomas & Emily. We will definitely use them again. Thank you both so much.”

“Brandi was very understanding & accommodating of our schedule. She provided great feedback during Winnie’s stay. She was professionally able to deal with all her needs, she even pulled a tick off her! Thanks Brandi”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sarah accommodated our last-minute request to watch our 3-month-old puppy for two days. Rip and Mayla were so friendly and playful when we stopped by for a meet and greet. And Sarah's obvious expertise and calm demeanor made it clear that this was a good fit for us. She was always quick with responses, sent daily updates with several pictures spanning the course of the day, and gave a very thorough rundown of how our puppy did his entire time there when we arrived to pick him up. It was clear that she had his best interests at heart. And any time we need a puppy sitter, she will be the first person we contact. 10/10 Highly recommend.”
“She took such good care of my puppy, she was in constant communication and sent pictures almost daily. She super spoiled my baby and he had a blast the whole time! She even went above and beyond and took him to be groomed at her shop.”
“I feel like we have found a diamond in the rough. Jacqueline, Kris and Bella are so kind and truly are dog lovers. We received updates with pictures during Piper's stay. Their fenced in yard was perfect for Piper to run and sniff. Cannot say enough positive remarks regarding the excellent care Piper received. We highly recommend Jacqueline's family for daycare or boarding, and will be boarding again in the future!”
“Erika did a fantastic job caring for our dogs. Since this was our first vacation in several years, I was nervous about leaving them for an extended period. Lincoln, our senior, requires multiple medications and supplements, and Bella struggles with separation anxiety. Erika and Ryan were so reassuring during the meet-and-greet that I felt at ease immediately; seeing Bella flip over for belly rubs was the best sign! While we were away, we received photo and video updates twice a day. I loved her comments and how she picked up on our dogs personalities 😊 It was clear the dogs were happy, enjoyed their numerous walks, and was never left alone. I’m so grateful to have found Erika and Ryan —they truly understood our dogs' needs and gave them so much love!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my fur babies received while I was away from Emily, her sons, and their pup Gertie! She's incredibly attentive and has a genuine love for animals. I received daily updates with photos, videos and notes of their daily adventures. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter! She is so kind and loving to our dogs.”
“Great communication from Ashley! I received pictures and videos and continual love from afar about my sweet boy. Huge yard and a great home for any doggie. Excited to have Bowie hosted there again, highly recommended! Great experience!”

“Kelly was wonderful. Our dogs truly felt at ease and enjoyed every visit. Loved the picture updates that truly put our minds at ease that our fur babies were in great hands. I will definitely be calling on her again and highly recommend her.”
“Olivia was absolutely wonderful while we were away! She dropped in twice to let our dogs out, feed them, and make sure they were well cared for. She treated our home with so much respect and care, truly like it was her own. One of our favorite parts was all the beautiful pictures she took of the dogs while we were gone, it gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile seeing how happy and comfortable they were. You can really tell she genuinely cares about animals.”
“Amanda was an incredible help while I was away taking such great care of my cats! She went above and beyond, not only making sure they were well cared for but also leaving my home even cleaner than when she arrived. Her daily updates were so thoughtful and reassuring, giving me total peace of mind. Plus, she has such a great vibe—I feel like we’d get along so well in everyday life! Thank you so much, Amanda!”
“Victoria did an amazing job with Panini! I feel she really went above and beyond. I got photos throughout the visit which I really appreciated. Panini, my cat, was very well cared for and I definitely recommend booking with Victoria!”
About: When I worked on a farm for a couple of years, I had many very sweet, loving barn cats to take care of. I now work in a veterinary hospital and help care for cats daily when I'm at work. I currently have one cat of my own - Tippy! I am especially interested in taking care of animal's minds as much as their bodies. I think mental enrichment is just as important as physical health. I strive to keep up to date knowledge and to always continue learning about physical and behavioral health!
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, with a special appreciation for senior pets and those who need extra patience or consistency. One of the most meaningful experiences I've had was adopting a 12-year-old cat that developed chronic kidney disease (CKD). I cared for her through nearly four years of treatment, managing medications, hydration, appetite, weight, and daily routines until she passed away just shy of her 16th birthday. That experience taught me the importance of careful observation, consistency, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior that can indicate something isn't right. I also have experience caring for a Yorkshire Terrier and understand the unique needs of toy breeds, including their size, energy, and safety considerations. Several family members and friends have larger dogs that I take on walks and care for when they're away. Professionally, my background is in consulting and project management, which has made me highly organized, dependable, and detail-oriented. I follow instructions carefully, communicate proactively, and believe pet owners deserve regular updates and photos so they can enjoy their time away with confidence. My goal is always to care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care while maintaining flexibility. I currently offer overnight house sitting, typically from approximately 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m., when many pets appreciate the comfort of having someone with them overnight. During the day, I may have other work or personal commitments depending on the booking, but I always communicate my schedule in advance so expectations are clear. I strive to keep pets on their normal routines for meals, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and companionship while respecting the schedule that works best for each household. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially seniors or pets with medical needs, and I do my best to minimize disruptions to their daily routine. I am able to pick up your animal and drop them off for an additional fee ($10 / day). When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is maintaining the environment and routines they already know. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, exercise, household rules, and any special care your pet requires. I take time to build trust with each animal, allowing shy or anxious pets to become comfortable at their own pace. Safety is extremely important to me. I pay close attention during walks, keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets for changes in behavior or health, and never hesitate to contact an owner if I have a question or concern. I also treat every home with the same respect I would expect someone to show mine, keeping it clean, secure, and well cared for during your absence. Communication is a key part of my service. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing and can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Brynna did an amazing job!! We were so comfortable leaving our babies in her care. She checked in on time and shared photos along the way! We were able to enjoy our Wedding day without worry! Thank you so much Brynna!! Looking forward to the next time!!”
“Kristen dropped in twice a day to feed our cat while we were out of town. She checked in with me each time she went by and even sent pictures of Jude looking fat and happy. Knowing someone was there checking on things made being away from home much less stressful. When we got home everything in the house was just as we left it and Jude was so much more chill than she usually is when we get home. Kristen was very nice and easy to make arrangements with. I would definitely recommend her and will book her again if needed.”
About: I've owned many animals over my life, cats, dogs, horses, chickens, lizards. I've taken my dogs to animal chiropractors, trained my horse and distributed meds accordingly to my senior animals. I've also pet sit for my older siblings on many occasions. I understand that the needs of every animal is different and needs to be attended to. I am currently trying to apprentice in a very competitive field and pet sitting is my in between job while I look for better positions. I live on a small farm, before my dogs passed I walked them twice a day, I have bout toys and boxes to entertain my cats, handled my lizard with care and an appropriately sized tank, and trained my horse slowly and it has really kept him healthy in his old age. Animals in my care will receive the attention, exercise and safety they need. I have a very open schedule as I am not yet employed but have applied at pharmacies. I also work a couple shifts at the Cold Stone and get to bring home ice cream oftentimes. I feed them and change their water every everyday, play with them, search for enriching toys for them to play with. With. Sometimes I put on TV for them and my girl cat likes when I rock her.

“Chanse and her children (who are absolutely adorable!!!) took amazing care of Doc and Gunner. My husband and I were able to enjoy family time without worrying about our babies.

Thank you!!!!!”

“Stacy has been watching Trixie about 2 to 3 times a week since I adopted Trixie at 4 months old over a year ago. She's been a godsend allowing me to work downtown and have care for Trixie. She goes above and beyond, and I'm pretty sure Trixie thinks she's her mom :) Thanks for everything Stacy!”

About: e grown up with dogs my whole life and consider them part of the family. I love being around dogs and have experience house-sitting, walking, and caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling different energy levels and individual needs, and I always make sure dogs feel safe, cared for, and loved while in my care. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I have a golden retriever puppy, and since I grew up with dogs, caring for him feels very natural to me. Every day starts and ends with walks, and throughout the week I make sure he gets plenty of exercise and socialization by taking him to the dog park regularly. At home, we spend a lot of time playing tug-of-war or fetch to keep him active and engaged. Because he has a sensitive stomach, I also prepare fresh homemade meals for him twice a day, so meal prep is built into my routine as well. One of my favorite parts of the day is winding down in the evening by cuddling up with my pup and reading a good book. Overall, caring for him is woven into both my daily schedule and the way I like to relax and spend my time. I am going back to school in the fall and do not currently work so my schedule is extremely flexible to take care of your pups :) I provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment for pets in both my home and my client’s home. In my home, pets have access to a secure fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. I also have a friendly golden retriever puppy who enjoys being around other dogs, but I can easily separate him if a pet prefers their own space or needs a calmer environment. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I have experience caring for dogs with sensitive stomachs, so I’m comfortable preparing fresh meals, following dietary restrictions, and administering basic care as needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel comfortable and cared for while away from their owners. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their familiar routine and environment. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, cleanup, and lots of companionship, while also treating the home respectfully and keeping owners updated with messages and photos.
“Brandi was WONDERFUL. She was so welcoming and accommodating despite us intruding on a holiday weekend, and so welcoming of our Pup. Throughout our days of doggy daycare, we received updates and pictures and video of our Piper enjoying her stay and new friends, and at the end of each day, we received a very happy (and very ready-to-go-home-and-nap) dog. We used her back-to-back for two days, and Piper recognized she was going got another visit on Day 2 when we turned down Brandi's road, and immediately started crying excitedly in anticipation, all but pulling me out of the car when we opened the door! It's a shame we're not closer to Janesville for regular use of booking, but if we're ever needing to go through the area en route to our destinations, Brandi will be our first choice for daycare or boarding.”

“Amanda is super kind and flexible. My dog Lucy absolutely adores walks/but can also be a bit difficult. Amanda has been accommodating and great for both of us. Thank you!”
“Mari helped us with a drop-in visit with less than a weeks notice. She was great with our dog, who can be nervous of new people. Mari didn’t push our pooch beyond what she wanted to do, and we felt very appreciative knowing she was looking in on her while we were away for the day. I would highly recommend her.”
About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve helped look after dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from high-energy pups to shy seniors who need a gentler touch. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly rely on me because I’m attentive, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with their pets. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved, whether we’re playing, going for walks, or just relaxing together. Your pet will get reliable care and plenty of affection while they’re with me. I have 1 year dog kennel experience that inspired me to become a vet assistant to hopefully start my own commercial business in the future! Thank you for considering me and contributing to my experience it is greatly appreciated and your animals will be treated like my own! I’m in school studying to become a veterinary assistant, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. My class schedule is flexible, giving me lots of availability on weekends and most weekdays. Since animal care is already a big part of my life, I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, and reliability for your pets. I do online. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first when im caring for them in your home, follow your feeding, potty, and exercise routine so they feel secure and settled. If you don’t really have a route with pups and are a go with the flow person like I am I can provide, 8-10 potty’s breaks and lots of attention. For safety during walks in my neighborhood, there are no sidewalks so we walk against traffic so we can see oncoming cars with dogs on the right side of me farthest away from the road in grass. In the winter, I follow a cold-weather walking policy for safety: if it’s too cold for me in an t shirt it’s too cold for them! Usually requests winter weather gear like boots and coat but one can be provided(washed after every use with pet safe detergent). (Black puffer and no slip socks.) Night time walking- don’t worry about the days getting darker I’ve got it covered with my reflective gear, flashlight, collar light clips, and more. Thank you for understanding and helping keep your pet safe!
“I’ve used Rover in the past and after an initial meeting, have had great luck with dog walkers. Michelle is even a step above those walkers. Her kindness and patience in allowing my timid dog to get used to her slowly, over a few visits, was such a relief. Michelle’s a rockstar! 😊”

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for nearly my entire life, so your furry friends will be in very experienced hands. I find genuine joy in being around animals and truly love the bond that comes with pet sitting. Since I believe staying active is essential for a happy pet, I especially enjoy taking dogs on long walks. It’s a great way for them to burn off energy and explore, providing a mutual benefit of exercise and fresh air for both myself and your pup! Lifelong Experience: Hands-on care with a variety of animals since childhood. Large Animal Familiarity: Comfortable and capable with both large and small dogs Active Care Style: Dedicated to ensuring your pet gets the movement and stimulation they need. I’m currently a full time college student and attend classes two days a week. This allows me to have an open and consistent schedule to care for the needs of clients! Growing up, I participated in dog obedience training with my county’s 4-H program. This experience allows me to promote a safe and nurturing environment while allowing the dog to have a positive experience.

I pay close attention during walks, keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets for changes in behavior or health, and never hesitate to contact an owner if I have a question or concern. I also treat every home with the same respect I would expect someone to show mine, keeping it clean, secure, and well cared for during your absence. Communication is a key part of my service. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing and can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Brandi was very understanding & accommodating of our schedule. She provided great feedback during Winnie’s stay. She was professionally able to deal with all her needs, she even pulled a tick off her! Thanks Brandi”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sarah accommodated our last-minute request to watch our 3-month-old puppy for two days. Rip and Mayla were so friendly and playful when we stopped by for a meet and greet. And Sarah's obvious expertise and calm demeanor made it clear that this was a good fit for us. She was always quick with responses, sent daily updates with several pictures spanning the course of the day, and gave a very thorough rundown of how our puppy did his entire time there when we arrived to pick him up. It was clear that she had his best interests at heart. And any time we need a puppy sitter, she will be the first person we contact. 10/10 Highly recommend.”

“Erika did a fantastic job caring for our dogs. Since this was our first vacation in several years, I was nervous about leaving them for an extended period. Lincoln, our senior, requires multiple medications and supplements, and Bella struggles with separation anxiety. Erika and Ryan were so reassuring during the meet-and-greet that I felt at ease immediately; seeing Bella flip over for belly rubs was the best sign! While we were away, we received photo and video updates twice a day. I loved her comments and how she picked up on our dogs personalities 😊 It was clear the dogs were happy, enjoyed their numerous walks, and was never left alone. I’m so grateful to have found Erika and Ryan —they truly understood our dogs' needs and gave them so much love!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my fur babies received while I was away from Emily, her sons, and their pup Gertie! She's incredibly attentive and has a genuine love for animals. I received daily updates with photos, videos and notes of their daily adventures. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter! She is so kind and loving to our dogs.”
“Great communication from Ashley! I received pictures and videos and continual love from afar about my sweet boy. Huge yard and a great home for any doggie. Excited to have Bowie hosted there again, highly recommended! Great experience!”
“Julia was absolutely a dream! She took such incredible care of our Weimaraner, Mozzie. Great communication, great photos and she made sure he had his own vacation while we were away! 10/10 and will rebook again!”
“Lauren and her family were great! She was so flexible and paid attention to all the details. My dog came back happy and tired from having fun! We will be back next time we’re in the area needing a sitter!”
“I felt that Marble was in good hands and didn’t have to worry about him at all during our trip while he was with Bath. He seemed very happy in the pictures she sent on his walks! Thank you!”
