Personalized care for your dog or cat - Madison
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Madison
“Thanks to Kelsey and her husband for watching our dog on somewhat short notice. First time use of the Rover app and felt completely comfortable with a multiple day boarding with them. I could tell by the texts and pictures we received that she was well taken care of and got plenty of attention and exercise while in their care. Would definitely book with Kelsey again!”
About: In all my 26 years of living I have had a dog in my home! I could never see my self living without one! I’ve had all breeds so I know how to handle and care for each one! I will care and treat your pup like family with playtime, cuddles and walks while you’re away! 💙 Pet care is a natural daily part of my routine. My fiancé and I are home regularly as she works from home so there is plenty time to give your pups the attention and care they need! I’m comfortable with maintaining schedules and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I have a big fenced in backyard and I have two dogs that love playing with other pups and will help keep your pups active! There’s plenty of time during the day for them to run free and get energy out in the backyard!
“Bodhi stayed with Angela for three nights. Since we hadn't left him with a sitter since before Covid, we were quite nervous. But from the time we did a "meet and greet" with her, we immediately felt at ease. His stay with her was wonderful! We received lots of photos and videos and we could tell that he was relaxed and not stressed. She provided plenty of love, attention, and enrichment times. Thank you, Angela, for taking such good care of our Bodhi. He will definitely be back!”
“Great experience overall. This was my first time leaving my dogs with anyone. Melissa and Matt were very good with them and kept in contact with me for updates and photos. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. For the past 6 years, I’ve also provided pet sitting for friends and family, giving me experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual routine and needs. I take pride in providing loving, dependable care and making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home except on Monday’s , which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide regular check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m also available for pet care on both weekdays and weekends, making it easy to work around your schedule. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel right at home. I have a fully fenced-in yard where pets can safely play, run, and get plenty of exercise. I also have two friendly dogs of my own—a Golden Retriever and a Boxer/German Shepherd mix—who love making new friends. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles while following each pet’s normal routine and individual needs.
“Maria was amazing! She came through for us at the very last minute and literally saved our vacation. She treated our sweet senior dog like family and that’s all I could ask for ! So grateful for her !”
“Amanda and her husband were absolutely wonderful with our 11 month old puppy, Theo! He loved playing with their 2 pups and running in their fenced in backyard. Amanda was so accommodating and sent us updates with pictures of Theo each day of our trip. It was very comforting knowing that he was with someone who cared so much! We would happily book with Amanda and her husband again.”
“Our pups really enjoyed their stay- and we really enjoyed getting photo/video updates throughout the stay! Debbie and Eddie couldn’t have been nicer and really helped us out by watching our two on such short notice! Will definitely be using them again!!”
“They are really nice, caring people and have the perfect setting to board. My Andrew was very well cared for and loved while I was gone. Would definitely use them again.”
“Natalia did a great job at watching my dogs! My one dog was very scared and by the next day they were hanging out on the couch. I think my dogs are mad I picked them back up.”
“This was the first time I used a Rover sitter and I couldn’t be more happier! Kyle was amazing!! He sent me pictures and kept in contact with me to let me know how things were going. He gave my dog constant attention and took him for walks. I truly think my dog misses him, which makes me very happy cause I know he was well taken care of by Kyle!!”

“I was so pleased with my dog’s stay with this boarder. She sent me daily updates and made sure I knew Oreo was being treated with the BEST care! This was my first experience leaving Oreo with a someone outside my family and all of my insecurities went away the very first day he was there. I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out again if I need to leave Oreo again!”
“Doggy heaven for our pup while we were away! Brandon did an amazing job at updating us throughout our time away with pictures everyday and Cookie had the best time! 🙂”

About: I just moved back to Ohio and I have had pets my whole life and lost my baby a bit ago. I know how they are family and deserve all the love. My dog was older and had a lot of health issues so I am familiar with different medication that may be needed. I’m currently in grad school for nurse anesthesia and study most days from home. I have a pretty open schedule except Thursday and Friday morning-afternoon but can be available early in the am or that evening. Happy to answer any questions. Anytime except Thursday and Friday 6am-4pm (I have clinical at the VA for grad school) I have online lectures so I can have open availability during the rest of the week and weekends. I can discuss as well. I would prefer to watch your loved one at your home or do day sitting/walks. My current family dog is very timid and a rescue and is scared of literally everything so I don’t want to stress him out
“Amanda is pure awesomeness. She took care of my four fur babies that are my life she is so good with them that I think they are still waiting for Amanda to stop by. She did amazing all the hat I requested and my girls are picky the house 🏠 s clean she understood everything about my babies and did not let us down .

About: Hello! I currently work at a dog boarding and daycare center. I absolutely love taking care of the dogs daily. I’ve gained tons of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare setting, providing attentive, compassionate care to ensure each dog felt safe and comfortable. As well as feeding, exercise, playtime, and basic health monitoring while supervising group interactions to encourage positive behavior and prevent conflicts. I’ve developed strong skills in handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities while maintaining a clean, organized, and stress-free environment 🐾🩷 Pet care is a central part of my daily schedule through my work at a dog boarding and daycare center. Each day involves hands-on responsibilities such as feeding, exercising, supervising playgroups, monitoring behavior and health, and maintaining clean and safe environments for the dogs in my care. Because my workday is structured around consistent routines and animal needs, I am accustomed to prioritizing timely care, attention, and safety. This experience allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my schedule while remaining reliable, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s individual needs. When walking pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and enjoyment at all times. I ensure each walk is suited to the dog’s age, energy level, and temperament, providing appropriate exercise while maintaining control and awareness of surroundings. I pay close attention to behavior, leash manners, and potential hazards, and I follow any specific instructions regarding routes, pacing, or handling. Throughout the walk, I offer positive reinforcement, patience, and attentive care to ensure each pet feels secure, stimulated, and well cared for.
About: grew up loving and taking care of animals throughout my whole life - dogs and cats were a major part of my everyday life. I’ve had the pleasure to take care of animals especially cats and dogs throughout all stages of life. I will treat your sweet fur babies with love and treat them like my own I am currently working at the local schools as a van driver so lucky for your sweet fur babes I have 10 am - 1 pm completely open! I can come during those times for check ins, mid day walks, potty breaks, etc. I also am available after 4:30 pm on weekdays and have weekends totally free as well. I can be flexible! I completely understand that leaving your home and four-legged family members in someone else’s hands can get nerve wracking. I take pride in being respectful and ensuring your home stays secure, your pets are well cared for, and just making sure you are at peace of mind with my visits. I am big on sending real time updates so my stay will never be a guessing game. I would love to set up a meet and greet to help build trust and calm any anxieties as well!
“We had Alexea for a long weekend. I would highly recommend her to watch your cat or dog. She took great care of my 2 kitties and the house. She sent us pictures of be our cats and watered all our plants outside. We came home to a perfect house!!”
“Adara was absolutely wonderful with Javi and Tamale! From the start, it was clear she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care — she was attentive, gentle, and really listened to everything I shared about their needs and routines. The regular updates she sent gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, which says everything. We will 100% be booking with Adara again — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pets like her own!”
About: Growing up I have had a variety of cats. Indoor outdoor. They were always around. Easy to care for. They must have a clean litter box, fresh water and food. I’m able to give medication when needed. I’m reliable and trustworthy. My job is to keep them safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was old enough to. I grew up with German Shepherds and have spent years training, loving, and looking after them. Beyond my own pets, I’ve also cared for the animals of friends and neighbors. I’ve been around animals my whole life, and giving them love and attention has always come naturally to me. Pet care is my full-time focus right now, so I have plenty of availability to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve! I have a large yard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time with plenty of space to roam. For safety, I use a secure tie-out stake and lead, so your pet can play while staying within a safe area under my supervision. Pets stay indoors overnight in a cozy, clean environment where they’ll feel safe, loved, and cared for like family!
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover; I have cared for my own pets most of my life, and did my first ever (non-family) pet sitting job when I was about 12 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals. My husband and I currently have a dog and cat indoors, along with a pair of cats and fifteen ducks outside. My current pup, Abby, has taught me a lot about dog body language and behavior, so I'm better equipped than ever to interact with anxious dogs. I work full time, but can still provide house sitting services if you're comfortable with me being away during the day Monday-Friday, and can provide drop in and walking services early mornings/evenings during the week. Most weekend days I can be available all day. I'll be sure that I have and understand any instructions you have for your pets to ensure that they get the care they expect and deserve. I've also just completed a PetTech first aid and CPR class to be sure I'm able to keep your pets as safe as possible.

“Angela is awesome. Teddy P had a blast at daycare! Angela you are friendly and caring!! I really appreciated the photos during the day. I'm so happy that you'll be boarding my furbaby during my upcoming cruise. Thank you so much!”
“Macy had a great day with Leslie and all her fur friends. This was Macy's first time away from home and Leslie did a great job with easing my mind and making Macy feel welcome. Leslie has great communication and sent videos throughout the day.”
“Andrew provided excellent care for our precious dogs. He kept them exercised, hydrated and rested. He sent pics and updates and made us feel so relaxed about our decision. Will definitely have Andrew watch our pups again!”
“Amanda, Aaron, and their precious pups are wonderful! ???? Our 12 week old little girly has been socialized with all ages, shapes, and sizes of people, but not with other furry friends! Well, She had a daycare day today! She was nervous and shy at first, but then couldn’t care less about me when I came to pick her up!??♀️She loved playing and hanging out with new friends! Amanda updated me and sent me photos throughout the day! They have their house set up so they can separate the dogs if need be, and she took them out one at a time so as not to have them wrestling around in the wet mud, etc. I appreciate that! ☺️ I can tell Amanda and Aaron love dogs- we are so thankful! ?????”
About: I have taken care of dogs since i was under 10 years old! I volunteered at an animal shelter and know how to help train! I currently am working from home so I have plenty of time to care of animals , train with them, and play with them as well! I myself have a half fenced in yard. I have a lovely corgi/aussie dog for your pup to play with! I can also crate if you need!
About: I always bring a treat depending on the pups diet. There will always be plenty of kisses given. I like to help with training. I can have Spot sitting on command after 30 minutes. Playing indoor or outdoors is my favorite thing to do. Especially hide and seek or playing in the pool. I’m good at observing dogs habits to understand what they do and don’t like. I volunteer with a local rescue and have helped with fostering. I am more than happy to help with an special needs and understand that they are all different. I enjoy helping animals, if I see them scratching their ears... I’ll gladly scratch them for them. I would feel bad not helping them out. I have experience watching deaf, blind, reactive/temperamental dogs. I am confident in working with them. My 2 dogs are spoiled rotten and socialized. They love meeting new pups. They sleep with me each night. I do respect owners wishes, if you do not want them on furniture. I will gladly abide. I have a client that has a list of things her dogs can and cannot eat. I take the owners wishes seriously. I’m very easy going and thrive on direct communication.
“Brandon was amazing with our dog Dixie and made everything very easy. With this being our first time outside of family dog sitting he kept us in the loop with everything going on. We will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Kelsey is wonderful. Truly a Godsend. She has a bright aura about her. I noticed it as soon and I met her. She took great care of my Little Dude. I had no worries about his care when I left him…He came home exhausted. She attended to him the entire time he stayed at her home. I would recommend her to anyone. She also watched him at the last minute. I can’t thank her enough for her help. Little Dude and I will definitely be back!!”
About: I currently have a 4 year old mini Australian shepherd. My experience includes watching a puppy overnight, helping train a deaf dog, and taking neighbors dogs on walks. I am a teacher so I am available all of June-August to provide all day care for dogs or just walk dogs during the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home where dogs are treated like family. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and lots of affection. I follow each dog’s routine and make sure they feel happy and relaxed while they’re away from home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i had my first dog in the first grade. A white Samoyed. When she was 3 she has 7 puppies! I was obsessed with them. We sold 6 and kept one. So we had 2 big white Samoyed’s that I had the responsibility of raising and attending to. They were my whole world. I’m always the first to be asked to watch someone’s dog because if there’s one thing I’m passionate about, it’s loving on dogs. I now have a mini dachshund who i love so much. I have experience with puppies, big dogs, little dogs, and senior dogs. I’m able to train puppies and care for senior dogs who would need more help in their day to day activities such as meds, frequent potty breaks, and patience. I also had an internship with the lake humane society in high school and have a special place in my heart for rescue dogs/cats who could use some extra love. I am currently a stay at home mom with my 8 year old who is in school and 1 year old who both love dogs I figured i could help out some dog momma or daddies who aren’t able to be home with them all day. I am able to let your dog out every couple hours. And even take them for brief walks. We have plenty of dog toys to share, bully sticks (while supervised), treats, and extra dog bowls if needed. My husband is a realtor so is home most of the time if i am not. I crate our dog at home when we leave. I also have a camera just in case to make sure she’s okay while we’re gone. We moved so we don’t have a fenced in yard anymore. But had leads if they want to stay outside for a longer period of time. I also live next to my parents who have a fenced in yard where i could take them if you feel more comfortable with that.
“Kyle was absolutely wonderful! He helped me and my family out in a pinch!! He treated our dogs like his own and was an amazing communicator! He went out of his way to pick up our girls and sent many pictures. Highly recommend and we will use him again! 😊”
About: My passion for caring for animals began in childhood while growing up on a farm. From a young age, I helped clean stalls, collect fresh chicken eggs each morning, and care for a variety of animals. I was always the kid begging my parents for more pets, and animals quickly became my greatest source of comfort through a tough childhood. I have over 10 years of hands-on experience working on a horse farm, where I learned the value of consistency, safety, and attentive care. In addition, I’ve fostered bottle-baby kittens, assisted my mom in breeding golden retrievers, and helped raise her litters many times. My love for animals has no boundaries — I’ve worked with everything from farm animals to dogs, cats, and even jumping spiders, which I currently breed. I have two dogs of my own — Meme, who is 6, and Pia, who is 3 — and they are my whole heart. They have a daily routine I take seriously: outside time at 6:00 a.m., treats before I head to work, a midday potty break, and an evening 30-minute walk at 5:30 p.m. On weekends, we enjoy adventures at the park or exploring new places. I understand how important structure and routine are for pets, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve provided a wide range of pet care — from weekend stays to week-long vacations — both in my home and in others’. Whether it’s an active pup needing exercise, a senior dog requiring gentle attention, or a young animal that needs extra patience, I’m flexible, attentive, and committed to giving each pet the love, safety, and care they deserve. My pups have an entire routine each day. In the morning they go outside at 6:00 am. I do have a fenced in back yard, so I leave my sliding glass door open so they may come in and out. The get treats in the morning before I go to work. I do return home for lunch to let them out to potty. I return home around 5:30 each day and we go for a 30 minute walk. They get their bedtime treat and we start again the next day. On weekends I do like to take them to the park or on adventures. My pups would love some friends, and sleep overs. I know how important my dogs routine and/or schedules are and I would take your pup’s routine just as seriously. The amount of care I offer for pets on a regular basis always fluctuates. I have had pups for a week long vacation, and I have also had just weekend stays. Various weekends I do stay at others homes and care for their pets. I’m very flexible.
About: I have been a dog-lover as far back as I can remember. I can provide a loving home for your dog and ease the anxiety of being apart. I am trustworthy and dependable. Being a pet owner myself, I understand fully that our pets become valued members of our families and should be treated as such. I have a fenced-in yard and will make sure that your pet receives lots of love, adequate exercise, and playtime in addition to the essentials. I live in a nice neighborhood conducive to walks and I am also near several parks should we crave a change of scenery. I work part-time, but my schedule is flexible. Between myself and my daughter, our Rover guests are rarely left alone. I enjoy an active lifestyle and look forward to meeting you and your pet! Questions are welcome! Thank you for your consideration!

About: I’ve been responsible for the care of pets most of my life. Pets are family to me. I love getting to know their individual personalities and supporting their needs. My routine varies daily and weekly. Weekends and evening are more open but, depending on the day and mommy schedule, I can sometimes be available during the day on week days. Overnight stays can be available for house-sitting if my 14 pound, male dog, Franklin, can accompany me; he is very friendly and attached to me. I will connect with you one-on-one about your pets individual needs and follow their schedule and routine as you identify me to do. I respect your space and guidelines.
“Sandy was awesome! She walked my pup, played with her, and fed her. She also sent pictures and stayed in contact. I really appreciate her helping me while I was out of town. Derby seemed so happy after being with her. Can’t say thank you enough!”
About: Ive taken care of all sorts of dogs my entire life, whether theyre my own, family friends, or volunteering at shelters. I especially have a lot of experience dealing with scared or anxious dogs, this is because all of my pets are rescued from bad situations so I have learned over time how to read their body language and act exactly how they need to be comfortable. I am very available during the summer months so if you reach out I am more than sure that I will be able to work something out with you! For dog walking if there is a neighborhood I will happily walk your dog in that neighborhood. However if it is not available I have my car set up to keep your dog safe in the backseat, granted that theyre ok being in a car, this way I can take your dog to a nearby park to walk. If your dog is not comfortable being in a car and there is not a neighborhood set up, im sure we can work something out! I always bring anything and everything your dog could need on a short walk such as a water bowl, bags, extra leashes, and treats.
About: I am very responsible by nature and love taking care of my cats and dogs. My relatives constantly leave their pets in my care and I love it. I work, but am very flexible. If you need reasonable assistance I can be there in the morning, during lunch and at night as needed. I will come to your house and let ur pets out and feed them. Can do weekends and during the week mornings or nights as needed
About: I have taken care of dogs since i was under 10 years old! I volunteered at an animal shelter and know how to help train! I currently am working from home so I have plenty of time to care of animals , train with them, and play with them as well! I myself have a half fenced in yard. I have a lovely corgi/aussie dog for your pup to play with! I can also crate if you need!
About: I just moved back to Ohio and I have had pets my whole life and lost my baby a bit ago. I know how they are family and deserve all the love. My dog was older and had a lot of health issues so I am familiar with different medication that may be needed. I’m currently in grad school for nurse anesthesia and study most days from home. I have a pretty open schedule except Thursday and Friday morning-afternoon but can be available early in the am or that evening. Happy to answer any questions. Anytime except Thursday and Friday 6am-4pm (I have clinical at the VA for grad school) I have online lectures so I can have open availability during the rest of the week and weekends. I can discuss as well. I would prefer to watch your loved one at your home or do day sitting/walks. My current family dog is very timid and a rescue and is scared of literally everything so I don’t want to stress him out
About: I've been around animals since I was very young and love all of them. They are part of my family and will be treated as such while they're with me. I enjoy going on walks and keeping pets happy and entertained. I believe it's very important to know your fur babies will be in great hands when boarding with me. My beloved dog Mario is no longer with me; he lived for 13 wonderful years and was the best dog anyone could ask for. I haven't been able to get another one since then. Watching and caring for other pets makes me happy and brings me joy. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. Working from Home is a blessing and has given me the flexibility to care for others pets. I do not have a fenced yard, but I live in a development that gives me plenty of opportunities to go for walks. As long as they come with a leash we will be walking.
About: Hi my name is Briana! Your dog will have play time outside if raining then we play inside. I have many years of experience with cats and dogs. I love animals of all sizes. I am easily reachable by text or phone call. I love being outside so your dog will get as much exercise as they need. I go above and beyond to take care of dogs. I provide a lot of love. I am excited to care for your pup and treat them as my own! I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you! Even though I work full-time, caring for animals is something I naturally build into my day. My mornings and evenings are spent feeding, playing, and snuggling with my two cats, so I’m already used to keeping a consistent routine. On my days off and during flexible hours, I have plenty of time to check in on your pets, give them love and attention, and make sure they stay happy and comfortable while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, plenty of playtime, and lots of love and attention. For dogs, that might include walks or backyard play; for cats and small animals, it can be interactive play or cozy companionship. I also respect your home, keeping things neat and making sure your pets are happy and relaxed until you return.

About: Hello! I currently work at a dog boarding and daycare center. I absolutely love taking care of the dogs daily. I’ve gained tons of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare setting, providing attentive, compassionate care to ensure each dog felt safe and comfortable. As well as feeding, exercise, playtime, and basic health monitoring while supervising group interactions to encourage positive behavior and prevent conflicts. I’ve developed strong skills in handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities while maintaining a clean, organized, and stress-free environment 🐾🩷 Pet care is a central part of my daily schedule through my work at a dog boarding and daycare center. Each day involves hands-on responsibilities such as feeding, exercising, supervising playgroups, monitoring behavior and health, and maintaining clean and safe environments for the dogs in my care. Because my workday is structured around consistent routines and animal needs, I am accustomed to prioritizing timely care, attention, and safety. This experience allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my schedule while remaining reliable, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s individual needs. When walking pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and enjoyment at all times. I ensure each walk is suited to the dog’s age, energy level, and temperament, providing appropriate exercise while maintaining control and awareness of surroundings. I pay close attention to behavior, leash manners, and potential hazards, and I follow any specific instructions regarding routes, pacing, or handling. Throughout the walk, I offer positive reinforcement, patience, and attentive care to ensure each pet feels secure, stimulated, and well cared for.
About: I’ve spent the past several years working hands-on as a veterinary assistant and dog trainer, and I truly love what I do. In the clinic, I’ve helped care for pets of all ages and temperaments, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for during what can sometimes be stressful visits. As a trainer, I focus on building trust and clear communication between dogs and their owners, using patience and positive reinforcement to create lasting results. Whether I’m assisting in medical care or helping shape better behavior, my goal is always the same—happy, healthy pets and confident, informed owners who feel supported every step of the way. I’m currently working part time and home with my children 4 days a week and when I’m at my part time job I’m only there till 12pm. So I will have lots of time to spoil your fur babies with all the love and attention! I have worked in the veterinary field for over 7 years and currently working as a dog trainer part time your pets will always be properly taken care of and looked after with lots of play time and walks! If boarded in my home if I am not with them I would have them in a crate for rest times if not crate trained we can figure something out always open to help your pets feel the comfort of home away from home!
“Amanda was amazingly attentive, patient, and loving to our rambunctious little two-year-old puppy. She did an amazing job of getting him exercise, and sent awesome pictures. We would highly recommend her, and definitely plan to become repeat customers!”
About: I currently have a 4 year old mini Australian shepherd. My experience includes watching a puppy overnight, helping train a deaf dog, and taking neighbors dogs on walks. I am a teacher so I am available all of June-August to provide all day care for dogs or just walk dogs during the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home where dogs are treated like family. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and lots of affection. I follow each dog’s routine and make sure they feel happy and relaxed while they’re away from home.

“Thanks to Kelsey and her husband for watching our dog on somewhat short notice. First time use of the Rover app and felt completely comfortable with a multiple day boarding with them. I could tell by the texts and pictures we received that she was well taken care of and got plenty of attention and exercise while in their care. Would definitely book with Kelsey again!”
