“Theo has so much fun with Karen and her family! It is so wonderful to have such a trustworthy, kind, and responsive person to watch my pup when I have to go out of town. 10/10 recommend booking with Karen!”


“Tonya made our pup feel so loved with plenty of cuddles and walks! Willow felt comfortable right away. She sent us a couple photos and messages each day so we knew how she was doing!”

“Monika is truly the best at what she does. Our dog Sophie always looks at visits as a vacation when we go on vacation. She just loves the family and the dogs that live there. The backyard that is fenced in is wonderful. This is truly our dog’s home away from home. If I could give higher than 5 stars I would. They are fantastic and I recommend them with the highest possible regard.”


“Kelly is amazing, I booked very last minute with her because a previous sitter I booked the week prior fell through. With only 2 hours notice she was flexible to accept our pup for a weekend as we headed out for camping. She gave important updates and assured our dog was happy and healthy. Will definitely be returning!”

“Cassandra was great! We used her for an overnight stay on our wedding night! She was flexible with different people doing drop off and pick up and sent me great photos of my pup Franklin!”

“Shannon and David did AMAZING with my dog. Their communication is top notch and they sent me updates along with pictures while they watched him. I highly recommend and wish I would have found them sooner as I need services a couple of times a year!”

“Landon, MaLese and and family are great with my dog! She gets so excited when she knows we're going over there, and they take great care of her, with regular updates throughout the visit. Highly recommend!”

“Nicole & Derek were great, very welcoming and friendly, and loved that our boys🐶🐶could sense the same. Thor & Titan were very comfortable from the moment we walked in, and their little Winston🐶was a perfect playmate. The updates and photos were comforting, and letting both sleep with them on the bed spoke volumes. We don’t take lightly who we entrust our fur babies with, and these guys will definitely be our first call when needed. Thanks again for the exceptional care! 5-stars all day long!!!!!😎✌🏻”

“Jessica and Jacob are fantastic. Have left Bailey with them and their ever so cute kids many times now. Full trust in them. Great communication, care, walks, playing, cute pics. Bailey comes back happy and very tired (a good thing!) Highly recommend!”

“Carman was a wonderful sitter for my pup! He was returned to me happy and clean. I would recommend carman to anyone who wants their pet taken care of. You can tell that Carman really loves dogs to because Bud was spoiled the entire time with love and attention (: we will be using Carman as our regular sitter from now on. Thank you so much Carman!”

“Jennifer did a great job with our pup. We enjoyed the photos updates. She doesn’t have a fenced yard but she is not anywhere near a main road and had a nice space for him to go out. She also took him for walks often. Our dog was in good spirits when we picked him up. Would highly recommend using her!”

“Dynette is an amazing sitter! She took such loving care of our dog, Calvin, while we were away, sharing frequent updates and photos so we knew he was doing well. It was so reassuring knowing Calvin was in such good hands while we were gone. We highly recommend Dynette and will definitely book with her again next time we need a sitter.”

“My dog had so much fun running around Paula’s yard and playing with her own pups while I was out of town for a week. She is truly a dog person and I felt confident that he was in good hands. As a bonus, I was so happy and relieved to receive updates from her and photos throughout the week so that I could see that he was having fun and doing just fine. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Jenny was so easy and great to work with. She responded very quickly to my last minute plans and was able to watch my dog. She’s very sweet, communicative, and followed instructions well. Clean house and had another dog in the house, but my dog did great with her’s. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby! I would definitely go with Jenny again!”


“We planned a very spontaneous 5 day trip to warm weather and found Mike on rover. We met with him and felt really good about our interaction and his interaction with our pup. Georgee is just 5 months old so I was a little concerned about leaving her but I had absolutely nothing to be concerned about! Mike sent us updates, photos and videos daily. Georgee got to socialize with other dogs which was awesome! I felt comforted knowing our little Georgee was being so well taken care of. We will definitely be using Mike in the future! Highly recommend!”

“Our 6 month old puppy had a great week with Julie and Jon. We received updates and pictures daily and returned to find a happy puppy. Thanks for taking good care of our baby!”

“Jessica was fantastic about taking care of my dog. They gave me daily update and could tell they really wanted to make her comfortable. They were responsive to all of my questions it was such a great experience.”

“Valerie was great with our two kitties! Our boy cat is typical not trusting of new people and can be hard to work with, and she was very patient with him! Our girl cat became best friends with Valerie!! She was very thorough with her duties, had great communication and I know our kitties were well taken care of!”

“Mark did a remarkable job...so remarkable that I think KodaBear misses him! He sent pictures or videos with every visit and gave him all his medications with ease. I will, without question, be asking him to take care of KodaBear again in the future. Thank you, Mark!”


“Vanessa is a true cat-lover and our cat was comfortable with her from the first time they met. She took excellent care of him while we were away on vacation, followed directions, and I would highly recommend her to other cat parents.”

“Kelly did an absolutely great job with my big yellow tom cat, Harry. She spent time with him so that he wasn't extremely needy when I got home, outside of just being glad to see me! She kept me updated on any concerns with him and even offered to water the plants on my deck. HIGHLY recommend Kelly K.”

About: I grew up with animals all throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and help my mom foster for Cocos Heart and other animal rescues. I’ve worked with many different dog breeds through my past job at PetSuites and through pet sitting. BACK FOR THE SUMMER!! I’m currently working part time at two jobs during the week but will be able to make check-ins in between shifts. The weekends I’m available anytime for check-ins or walks! I try to provide more than just the basic needs to my pets and any pet I care for. This includes feeding and medications, walking, playing, and hanging out with the pets to keep them company. I’m relatively active so I can take the pets for longer walks and runs if requested. I always put the pet first and make sure they feel safe and comfortable with my presence.
About: My lifelong passion for animals began on our family’s organic dairy farm in Menomonie, Wisconsin, where I learned the dedication required to care for animals of all sizes. Over the years, we have opened our hearts and home to our friends' pets, gaining extensive hands-on experience with everything from energetic dogs to gentle bunnies. As a homeschool family, someone is almost always home to provide continuous love, attention, and structured care. We spend plenty of time outside so your pet will have lots of opportunities to exercise and spend time in the sun. Your pet will enjoy full access to our house and a large, securely fenced yard perfect for safe outdoor exploration. Located in a peaceful, dog-friendly neighborhood, we offer a warm, reliable, and attentive home-away-from-home where your pet will be treated like family.

Respect is very important to me and showing respect to your animals and you is more than everything to me. I have taken care of (walked, home stay, drop-in) a variety of pets and will send updates and messages throughout our visits and time together. I love all animals but dogs have a special place in my heart ❤️. I am a high school student but get out at 11 everyday so I try and take advantage of that opportunity as it allows me to be flexible for your needs. I’m a very clean and organized pet owner! Their bowl of water is always filled and cleaned, I’ll clean up after your pets as needed, and the environment in which the pet is in will be tidy for you to come home to.

I will follow all directions given to me regarding the care of your pet. I want to make them and you as comfortable and happy as possible!

“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Makayla was absolutely wonderful—super sweet and thorough when she came to meet our cat and go over all of the instructions. While we were away, she checked in every day with thoughtful notes and the cutest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even brought in some packages that were delivered, which was such a nice extra touch. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we’ll definitely be booking her again. We’re already planning to have her help with dog walking, too. Highly recommend!”


“Amazing experience! Oriana is so sweet, she responded right away with my short notice request squeezed us in for a meet and greet and was very flexible. I really loved the communication and photos. A very cold day but she bundled them up and ventured and played inside with the! I will definitely be using her in the future”
About: I've had more than 2 dogs in my home my entire life, from 8 week old puppies to seniors. I have experience giving the dogs medicine when they need it. I work part time at a retail store, so I am never working more than 9 hours at a time, I usually only work 4-5 hours normally. I make the pets my priority when I am caring for them and I watch their behaviors so I can catch anything out of the ordinary. I follow feeding directions and potty schedules.
“She was amazing with Beans. Love the daily pictures. Super thoughtful, brought in some packages that were left out in the rain for us. Very happy with the service.”

“Ella took my last minute booking request twice now and she is amazing. Jude and Canela love her. She kept me updated, she was professional and punctual. I would definitely have Ella watch my dogs again!”

“This was the first time we used Rover. We left Gunner for a daycare day to start. Carolyn and Kristopher were great with Gunner. Carolyn wrote down all the details of Gunner’s normal routine and his particular needs. He came home very tired which was a win. We will be using them again in February for a longer stay. So thankful we found such wonderful people to leave him with.”

“Absolutely wonderful experience! Karen was so kind and welcoming to our very energetic pup! She has great attention to detail and took the time to truly get to know our dog and his unique personality and needs. Getting updates and pictures of our dog having the time of his life with Karen and her family made us feel so at ease knowing that he was in great, loving hands. We will definitely be reaching out to Karen in the future and our pup can’t wait to go back! ☺️❤️”

“Jessica and Jacob were amazing sitters! Very friendly and professional. My pup went to their house for daycare for a few days and had a great time with their family. Will definitely book again!”

We absolutely love and adore animals—especially dogs. 🤍 We recently lost our beloved Morkie, Brooklynn, unexpectedly due to kidney failure in August. She meant the world to us, and we miss her dearly. While we’re not quite ready to welcome another dog of our own just yet, we would love to share our hearts and home by caring for your pet.

“Every time Jack visits Mike it goes very well. Even though my dog doesn't need a sitter often, Mike has taken the time to know my dog and his personality and treats him very very well. I really trust Mike with my dog. I will use Mike every time I need to be gone more than a couple of hours. He's great!”

It was clear that Kit was well cared for and loved — Giovana truly treated her like part of her own family. We’re so grateful for her kindness and attention, and we’ll definitely be using her services again!”

“Our dog Aggie had a great time with Julie! When we booked, she asked if Aggie would be ok having another dog around. We said Yes and the two Cockapoos had a wonderful day together. We appreciated Julie being willing to take on a second dog since we were asking last minute.”

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and abilities through volunteering and pet sitting. While I’ve only formally trained my own dogs, I’ve gained plenty of real-world knowledge by working with everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need a gentler touch. I'm patient, reliable, and genuinely passionate about making pets feel loved, safe, and happy while their humans are away. Whether it's a long walk, some playtime, or just quiet cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs—because every animal deserves to feel at home, even when they’re not! I work full time but fully remote from my home office so I am available for morning, lunch, or after work walks or feeds when you are rushing to get to work or travel.

My dogs aren’t just pets to me they’re family, companions, and the best part of my day besides my wife. My routine naturally revolves around making sure they’re happy, healthy, comfortable, and loved, from walks and playtime to cuddles and maintaining consistent schedules. I work remotely, which makes scheduling flexible and allows me to provide dependable care, consistent attention, and timely visits throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and giving them affection, companionship, and one-on-one attention, which is why caring for pets feels so natural to me. I truly believe dogs are some of the best humans we’ll ever meet, and every pet I care for will be treated with the same patience, love, and attention I give my own.

“Leann was great! Our pup had surgery and she was extra cautious with him. Asked questions. She truly cares and was a great help for us! Thank you! Highly recommend her and she'll be my first request in the future!!”

About: I have never not had a dog…or multiple!😊 I’ve grown up with Labrador Retrievers. With that being said, I can handle the chewing, the energy, the hours of stimulation, and the endless snuggles! I have raised multiple puppies into adulthood, with two currently being my own! From potty training to tricks, to walking on a leash, I have done it all! I also have had family dogs that’s we have had until 12-14 years old that have required special needs due to age. I am a nurse who once wanted to become a vet so I am super flexible from an experience standpoint!😊 I am a night shift nurse who works just a couple days a week! With that being said, my schedule is flexible and I’m almost always home! We are extremely active people who go on multiple walks a day, and I typically run a couple miles a week as well! Weather permitting, we are outside 95% of the time. My dogs are always enjoying the sun on our large deck that overlooks our woods, outside running in the woods, or playing fetch in the yard. We have 2 young and friendly labradors who love to play and meet new friends! We own 2 acres, half of it being woods with trails! This would be for the guests who have a great recall or have halo collars😊 For the ones who struggle a little more with recall, we have a 3 car garage with a doggy door to go in and out of a fenced in area (in pictures)! Also a large deck to catch some rays on, as well as plenty and plenty of walks! I want your pup(s) to feel as comfortable as possible and never want to leave😊 I am extremely flexible and want to stick to their routine as much as possible!

“Theo has so much fun with Karen and her family! It is so wonderful to have such a trustworthy, kind, and responsive person to watch my pup when I have to go out of town. 10/10 recommend booking with Karen!”

“Monika is truly the best at what she does. Our dog Sophie always looks at visits as a vacation when we go on vacation. She just loves the family and the dogs that live there. The backyard that is fenced in is wonderful. This is truly our dog’s home away from home. If I could give higher than 5 stars I would. They are fantastic and I recommend them with the highest possible regard.”


“Kelly is amazing, I booked very last minute with her because a previous sitter I booked the week prior fell through. With only 2 hours notice she was flexible to accept our pup for a weekend as we headed out for camping. She gave important updates and assured our dog was happy and healthy. Will definitely be returning!”

“Cassandra was great! We used her for an overnight stay on our wedding night! She was flexible with different people doing drop off and pick up and sent me great photos of my pup Franklin!”

“Shannon and David did AMAZING with my dog. Their communication is top notch and they sent me updates along with pictures while they watched him. I highly recommend and wish I would have found them sooner as I need services a couple of times a year!”

“Nicole & Derek were great, very welcoming and friendly, and loved that our boys🐶🐶could sense the same. Thor & Titan were very comfortable from the moment we walked in, and their little Winston🐶was a perfect playmate. The updates and photos were comforting, and letting both sleep with them on the bed spoke volumes. We don’t take lightly who we entrust our fur babies with, and these guys will definitely be our first call when needed. Thanks again for the exceptional care! 5-stars all day long!!!!!😎✌🏻”

“Jessica and Jacob are fantastic. Have left Bailey with them and their ever so cute kids many times now. Full trust in them. Great communication, care, walks, playing, cute pics. Bailey comes back happy and very tired (a good thing!) Highly recommend!”

“Carman was a wonderful sitter for my pup! He was returned to me happy and clean. I would recommend carman to anyone who wants their pet taken care of. You can tell that Carman really loves dogs to because Bud was spoiled the entire time with love and attention (: we will be using Carman as our regular sitter from now on. Thank you so much Carman!”

“Jennifer did a great job with our pup. We enjoyed the photos updates. She doesn’t have a fenced yard but she is not anywhere near a main road and had a nice space for him to go out. She also took him for walks often. Our dog was in good spirits when we picked him up. Would highly recommend using her!”

“My dog had so much fun running around Paula’s yard and playing with her own pups while I was out of town for a week. She is truly a dog person and I felt confident that he was in good hands. As a bonus, I was so happy and relieved to receive updates from her and photos throughout the week so that I could see that he was having fun and doing just fine. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Jenny was so easy and great to work with. She responded very quickly to my last minute plans and was able to watch my dog. She’s very sweet, communicative, and followed instructions well. Clean house and had another dog in the house, but my dog did great with her’s. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby! I would definitely go with Jenny again!”


“We planned a very spontaneous 5 day trip to warm weather and found Mike on rover. We met with him and felt really good about our interaction and his interaction with our pup. Georgee is just 5 months old so I was a little concerned about leaving her but I had absolutely nothing to be concerned about! Mike sent us updates, photos and videos daily. Georgee got to socialize with other dogs which was awesome! I felt comforted knowing our little Georgee was being so well taken care of. We will definitely be using Mike in the future! Highly recommend!”

“Our 6 month old puppy had a great week with Julie and Jon. We received updates and pictures daily and returned to find a happy puppy. Thanks for taking good care of our baby!”

“Jessica was fantastic about taking care of my dog. They gave me daily update and could tell they really wanted to make her comfortable. They were responsive to all of my questions it was such a great experience.”


“Communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was clear she was knowledgeable about kittens and pet safety. Alissa was professional, reliable, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We would book again and highly recommend!”

“Our standard poodle stayed with John and Teri earlier this year while we were gone for a long trip, and then again a second time this weekend. We know he is spoiled and loved and feels right at home both by the photos and updates John and Teri share as well as how our dog acts when we drop him off and pick him up. We are so grateful to know he is having a good time when we are gone! John and Teri are wonderful!”

“Callie had another fun stay with Mika and Andrew! She loves playing at their house and they send great updates everyday, which are so exciting for us to read while we’re away. We’re already planning for Callie’s next “vacation” at their house! Thank you!”
