“I recommend booking with Ty! We have rebooked Ty multiple times because he does such an amazing job of taking care of my two dogs. He is very understanding and responsible. He gives updates and sends pictures that make me well assured they are in good hands.”
“Jasmyne was awesome! She watched my little girl overnight while I was in town for the eagles game. She updated me throughout the night with pictures and everything. Her dog Raven got along great with mine. Nova was very hesitant to eat in a new environment so Jasmyne even tried sitting with her on the floor to help ease her anxiety. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter in the area! Thank you so much Jasmyne!”
“Our cat Buddy stayed with Angela and her family for 4 days. Although Buddy is known for hiding away when with strangers, he was very comfortable with Angela’s family right from the start and I have pictures of him snuggling with them 🩷 I will definitely be asking Angela to pet sit for Buddy again in the future!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving both our dogs with Julie. She is a great communicator, considerate, and understanding of some family circumstances that unexpectedly came up. We will definitely use Julie again when we return to La Crosse. It's always a great feeling knowing our fur kids are safe, sound, and well cared for. Thanks so much, Julei!”
“Rebekah was great! Lots of playtime and walks. Blaze had a great time. Also appreciated photos and updates. I felt very comfortable leaving her even though it was her first time there. Woukd definitely go back again. Thanks so much!”
“Jenny was phenomenal. She’s very flexible on times of pick up and drop off. She sent multiple pictures of Wiley having fun running around and playing. He was more energetic on pick up and even seemed as if he wished to stay longer. Both of her dogs were playful and accepted Wiley into their home with out any issues. Both Wiley and I are extremely pleased with this experience, and can’t wait until the next time Jenny can watch him again when I need to be out of town.”
“Susan was the perfect sitter for my Shiba Inu! She took good care of him, took him on multiple walks, and even baked him dog treats! Plus she’s a delightful person who’s easy to coordinate with. I can’t recommend her highly enough!!!”
“Holy Cow do these guys love dogs! My dog is higher energy if you let it happen. Im pretty sure he is happy/sad to come home. I got pictures and updates daily. They appreciated his weirdness and really gave Joey a vacation like we were having. I would 100% recommend to everyone AND may even treat my dog to a visit even if we are in town. You won't regret booking this couple!”
About: I used to work at a doggy daycare and I worked with horses for about a year, so nothing scares me. I fostered a dog for a year until she found her forever home and now I have my own rescue. She is my whole world. I will treat your furbabies like my own because I know they are your whole world too. I work 2 part-time jobs with a lot of availibility/flexibilty. I typically work either midday or evening, but it changes daily. I would work well with a flexible schedule. We would go for many walks during the day. My dog loves to play so they can tire each other out. If comfortable with other dogs, we could visit the dog park.
“We left our border collie Maddie to stay with Erica during a 5 day trip. Erica was super nice and sent us daily updates with photos and videos, and we could tell Maddie had a ton of fun during her stay.”
About: Love all fur babies. Have been taken care of all sorts of critters since I was little. Love all shapes and sizes. Excited to start babysitting. I worksl from home full time and we are home most days. Walks and plenty of play time in our back yard would hapen all day. We have a nice big fenced in back yard and theee dogs and two cats that love to play. We love playing fetch and have lots of toys.
“We had a last minute request for a full day appointment in Decorah. Jenn was available and close to where we were. She was awesome and our dog acclimated quickly. She took him on a walk with her two dogs and they had a great time! Would definitely use her again!”
“Couldn’t recommend Erica and Ciara enough!! It was my first time boarding my dog and was really anxious about it. They were great with keeping me updated and sending pics, and also very patient with my dog, who was very worked up since it was her first time away from home. I am so thankful for the care they provided!!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog Emmett with a sitter from Rover and I was very nervous. Ty's frequent professional communication leading up to Emmett's stay, along with excellent reviews from others in the community who know Ty (including his Coulee Region Humane Society volunteer supervisor) put my mind at ease. Then Emmett's initial "trial" morning with TY was a big success! Emmett enjoyed playing his favorite game of "popcorn throws" with Ty and getting lots of snuggles. Already have booked Emmett for a longer stay with Ty when I need to be out of town for work next month :) Thank you Ty!”
About: Farm-raised animal lover with attention to detail. Calm, patient care built on trust, enriching walks, and outdoor adventures tailored to your dog's unique personality and needs. Pet care is currently my primary focus, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I can dedicate my time and attention to each pet, ensuring they receive reliable care, exercise, companionship, and a calm, consistent experience every visit. I care for every pet as if they were my own, always respecting their routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether in your home or out on a walk, I focus on building trust through calm, patient interactions while providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, fresh water, affection, and attentive care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have always been an avid animal-lover. From childhood into adulthood, I have owned and cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds & fish. My family & I currently share our home with two dogs, a bearded dragon, a Russian tortoise, & a ball python. I have several years of professional work experience in animal care (zoo, kennel care, walking, basic grooming) and wildlife / parks & recreation—both of which are relevant. I enjoy the outdoors and keeping all of our furry (& scaly) friends happy. I will board dogs, small mammals, reptiles & birds in my home! Upon request, I can do drop-in visits for cats or exotic animals within a 15 mile radius. I am currently a stay-at-home mom & so my schedule allows me to be at home majority of the time. If I need to leave the house, it’s never for more than a couple of hours. I have a large four-story home, which provides amble space for pets to play or to be separated if need be. I utilize crates for dogs who need or prefer it. Our yard is unfenced, so I use slip leads and tie-out cables for potty time.
“Monica was so great with our dog Finn while we were away for a weekend. She was super responsive and sent us pictures to keep us updated on how he was doing. Would highly recommend her!”

“Linsie was great! Very communicative and thorough, and made sure to spend time with my two cats. As someone who was a Rover provider myself for a few years before this, I can say she ticked all the boxes!”
About: Between jobs. Looking for a productive/enjoyable way to fill my time. I’ve had small dogs, giant dogs and every size in between. I’ve successfully leash trained several dogs and am happy to impart my skills on them, if you’d like. I’m a single mom who typically travels for work. I am, however, currently between jobs, and looking for my next contract. Making me available 8am-4:30pm. All care would need to be in your home. If crated, I can clean/change crate bedding, clean water and feed if needed. I can exercise your pet through play or a 30 min walk. I’d be happy to work on basic obedient skills as well.
“Christie was great to work with and great with our kitty! I was so worried about leaving my young kitten for a week but she made the experience stress free. She provided several updates and lots of pictures! I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to stay with their pets and in their home!”
“Jade took great care of Luna and Casper Kitty while they boarded with her. Both cats were comfortable and well looked after the entire time. She communicated with me daily and sent photos, which was so reassuring. I felt very confident leaving them in her care and would happily book Jade again!”

“Ambrosius had a lot of fun with her walks and doggy play! She came home and slept amazing. She was very happy and even got so comfortable she took a nap (rare for her at others houses). Thank you so much for making my puppy happy and feel loved.”
“Angela was excellent with my dog, Vaida! Vaida struggles adjusting to new surroundings, but Angela was a pro with her. Angela provided consistent communication & I was able to stay updated throughout the week. It was great to know Vaida was in good hands.”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous but my overall experience was positive with AJ. We have a 1 year old mixed breed dog that is very playful and happy around pretty much everyone. We met in a park near AJ’s home and he was promptly on time and communicated well. I asked several questions about the plan for the day and everything seemed reasonable to me. For me personally I just wanted someone that would keep my dog active and happy for the afternoon, also sneak in the occasional nap is okay too. When the day was over we met in the park again and (on time) and my dog was happy to see me. Thumbs up!”

“Our boxer had a great stay with Justine. When we picked her up from daycare she was happy, but quickly fell asleep in our truck from all the fun activity she had with Justine's dog. A nice experience. 😀”
“Gilman's experience with Erica was outstanding!! He has tons of energy and she knew how to keep him busy. He was showing some obnoxious behaviors when we got to her house. She was so understanding and just knew how to keep him busy and get him tired out. She shared photos with me through texting which allowed for reassurance on this first time experience for me. I highly recommend Erica and we will be visiting again! Thanks for everything Erica (and all)”
