“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!”

“Jasmine is an outstanding Rover for our dog - she is communicative, sends lots of photos, and has always been flexible with our schedule. I know that when we leave our dog with her, he’s going to be in great hands!”

“Great stay cation for Joey! We were heading out of town on a holiday weekend so some of our past Rover boardings were not available. Speaking with Angela I can tell she understands dog behaviors and how to keep my anxious dog calm. I got pics and communication daily. Joey was wore out when he got back and that is not easy to accomplish. Will definitely rebook in the future and highly recommend Angela.”

“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!”

“Erica K. was a wonderful choice for boarding Lydia, a terrier mix, over a long weekend. She was kind and patient, and really took the time to get to know our dog and family. She was willing to both pickup and dropoff, which made the whole process so much easier for our vacation. Erica sent frequent pictures and videos and kept us updated to our dog's situation. She was also open about how her pet sitting style was approached in her home and property. In addition, it was quite apparent that the dogs they sat would have plenty of outside exercise, love and attention, as well as freedom to be a dog. Lydia loved romping around in the snow, lying in front of their fire place, and interacting with their dogs. We also learned that our dog is pretty corteous to cats, but very interested. Their four acres of land and stream are a definite amenity to an active dog's lifestyle. Not only do I highly recommend her services, but I will also be a returning customer to both Rover and her pet care. ~DR”

“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!!”

“Jenny was the best sitter I’ve ever met on Rover, hands down! She gave me regular updates about my pup and sent me tons of photos. I never needed to worry about my dog; Jenny always made sure I knew how he was doing. Will absolutely book her again!!”

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.
“Janelle and Chris are just the best! They love our pup as if he was their own and he always comes home happy, healthy, and in great spirits! I love that we’ve found someone who we trust to love our pup as much as we do while we are away! THANK YOU!”

“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!!!”

“Jared was very helpful and accommodating. Princess was well taken care of and had a lot of cuddles from everyone in the family. I will contact again next time I need a sitter for Princess!”


“Osito had a blast with Sheryl and her son. She has a big yard and my big dog loved it. She sent us videos of them playing outside which he loved. I wanted more vids and pics, but she stayed in touch enough that I didn’t ever worry. I will rebook for our next trip!”

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.

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.

“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!”


About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets, big and small since I was about 11 years old. Are you looking for your dog/cat’s new best friend, I’m your girl! From long walks to playing fetch, and everything in between (bathing, feeding on time, bathroom time) I’m ready for it all! I’m not as familiar with caring for elderly pets or medication, but with a little instruction, I’m a fast learner! I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I’m mostly free the first half of the week (Monday to Wednesday) and weekends (Saturday and Sunday) at anytime, and Fridays after 3 pm. I’m a very patient person and am willing to fit whatever needs your pet requires. Schedules are not a problem for me, if your pet needs to use the bathroom at 6 am every morning, or food is served at 9 am, and goes on frequent walks, I’m very flexible.

About: I have 4 cats of my own. I've had 2 since 2017, 1 as a kitten since 2020, and the newest rescue I saved after he was thrown from a car. I've seen a wide gamut of cat personalities, and I am very accepting of cat boundaries. A nervous cat doesn't deserve less love.
About: The thing that I was most excited about turned 18 for was finally being able to join Rover. I have been dog sitting for 5 years and have owned a dog for 11 years. I have always had the biggest love for dogs. One thing I love to do in my free time is frequently visit a shelter to go and give each one of them a little extra love. 😊 My goal is to give my clients a worry free experience and to always make sure they know there animal is in good care. I would be more than happy to send frequent pictures and updates :) Pet care fits into my routine so naturally because I truly love it! I’m already used to dog sitting often, and planning my days around feeding, walks, and lots of playtime, so adding in new furry friends is honestly the best part of my week. The highlight of my weeks will be getting to meet all sorts of new dogs and see each one of their personalities. I’m a full time college student, but my mornings from 6am-10am and afternoons after 3pm are typically open. By doing rover, this will allow me to get my dog fix while being away from home. ☺️ To start, I typically will require a meet up before the service. My home: I make sure that they have a safe space to go to and I always slowly introduce the dog to my dogs to ensure that it’s not overwhelming, given that they are already in a completely new environment. Another thing that I do, no matter what the dog is, is when everyone is gone I put my dogs downstairs, and the clients dog upstairs, just to ensure that they get there alone time. 😊
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.

“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!”


“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!”

“This was the first time that we have left our puppies (9 months and 9 weeks). Erica and family treated them so well and sent pictures and videos. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our babies 😊”

“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.”

“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.”

About: Hi! I'm Jade, an experienced animal caregiver who believes every pet deserves individual attention, patience, and care. 🐾 I don't believe pet care should be one-size-fits-all. Every animal has its own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable caring for dogs and a variety of small animals, including rats, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, birds, fish, reptiles, and other companion animals. Please note: I do not offer in-home cat sitting in my own home. I do offer drop-in visits and house-sitting visits at your home, where I am happy to care for your cats and other pets while you're away. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, companionship, or someone to stay with them while you're away, I'll treat them with the same patience and care I would want for my own animals. I understand that leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful. My goal is to give you peace of mind by following your instructions carefully, maintaining your pets' normal routines as much as possible, and keeping you updated throughout their care. I'm dependable, patient, observant, and attentive to changes in an animal's behavior or routine. Your pets' safety and well-being come first. Have a pet that isn't a dog or cat? Ask me! I especially enjoy helping families who have animals that can be more difficult to find experienced care for. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can trust whenever you need a helping hand! 🐶🐱🐭🐰🐹🦎🐦🐠🐾 cpr and heimlich trained I'm happiest when I'm spending time with 6 dogs at a time lol it's so much fun! I don't have space to take more than one large dog or 2 small dogs at a time but someday I will! I am working on getting fencing for my yard! I only let 1 dog out at a time. I follow owners feeding schedule. I chart every feeding, drink of water that i see, and every potty break. I send updates daily and am well educated on how to calm an anxious dog!
“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!”

“This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience working with Laura. She was quick to respond and it was easy coordinating our visits with her. The updates she provided gave us peace of mind that our dog Jordy was in good hands for the day. We would definitely work with her again in the future! Jordy seemed happy to spend the day with her in her home.”

I mainly live in Jackson Hole, WYoming but I own my own home here in Winona. I am here some parts of the year and I would love to open up my schedule to dog care! I am very flexible during the day.

“Linsie is extremely professional and detail-oriented. Her text responses are also super quick and she was able to agree to walk my dog with short notice. I had no problem trusting her with my fur babes. Thank you! It was a wonderful experience.”


About: HELLO! I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from pups to senior pets who have special needs. I have done stuff like this ever since I was in middle school. I am very flexible with my time. I do have a cat allergy but that won’t stop me from that either! I’m always here to help you’re best friend 😊 Im very flexible with my schedule for a couple months! I can do early mornings to late nights. I’m always able to help with anything! I’m very detail oriented and need straightforward instructions in order to properly care for a pet. The more straightforward the instructions the better! I treat any pet as if they were my own. Maybe a chance to spoil with my special frozen pet friendly watermelon slush for the hot summer days? Or a little trip to get a pup cup? My dogs are spoiled and I miss them so much so this would be a win-win for the both of us 🤣

“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!”
