I really appreciated the stay Sadie had with Mary. I will definitely use this service again. Thanks Mary!”
“As always Judy is amazing. Worried about leaving my pup for as long as I did but the constant updates and knowing how well my pup was doing gave me more ease and comfort. I highly recommend Judy”

About: I love taking care of dogs. I will walk your dog in the Spring, Summer and Fall in good weather. Your dog will have my 3 year old Maltese to play with. I’m CPR trained and if needed, with calling you first, take your dog to my home town ER hospital (hope we never need to use that). Your dog must be potty trained for outside. My grandchildren all love dogs, they visit sometimes. I have been with dogs all my life. So rest assured I’ll take care of your dog while I take care of mine and my grandchildren. I will have play time and potty breaks. Will try to teach your dog new tricks. I’ve taken training classes with Pet Smart. You won’t regret placing your pet with me.
“Halligan was such a great host with our German shepherd. She sent fantastic and welcomed updates every morning. She got our dog out frequently and was so amazing. We will be booking with her again!”
“Our dog Oakley seemed to have loved his time with Julie and her family for the weekend. She has 2 dog which our dog seemed comfortable with after the meet and greet. She sent photos and videos of their adventures. Missed our pup for the weekend, but glad we got updates and knew he was in good hands. Also having some other pups to play with was great since he doesn't normally have that type of activities so I'm sure he enjoyed himself.”
“This was my first time using Rover. I was pleased to find an experienced host close to my home. Salena was good about confirming our logistics and sent a couple of updates during the stay. My dog seemed to enjoy his time with her and her pets. I will look for her again, the next time I need to travel.”
“Kiana was fantastic and very accommodating! My baby loved having her as a sitter and had a blast spending the night and having a play date with another doggie the next morning. Overall great experience for myself and my dog!”
“We will book with Molly again! Our fur babies had to stay with her for 2 days/1 night Molly was amazing with our babies Perrito and Gregorny. We had to find a dogsitter last minute and we found her. The day before we needed a sitter, she offered to do a quick meet and greet to see if Perrito and Gregorny would get along with Skyy (Molly's 3 yr old pet) and it went well. During Perrito and Gregorny's stay at her place, she kept us updated and sent us pictures! It was great knowing that they are all warming up to her, our babies can get pretty shy and easily get scared. I believe they also warmed up with Skyy eventually. Thanks again, Molly!!! 🫶🏽”
“My dog had a wonderful time at this house and I received many pictures of her having fun. The family was also accommodating to our needs when we had some trouble getting back at the time we predicted.”
“Frankie did an amazing job of taking care of Sammi. She sent pictures and video. Very sweet,kind, dependable. I felt very comfortable going away for the weekend entrusting Sammi to Frankie and her business partner Gabe!! ??”

About: Hi! I’m a full-time worker with a consistent schedule, offering dependable evening and weekend pet care. I have experience caring for dogs and am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m very responsible, detail-oriented, and will always follow your instructions closely. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like my own. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind. I’m currently available for drop-in visits and dog walking during weekday evenings and weekends. I’d love to help care for your pet! I take my dogs of daily walks to help both them and myself get out of the house more! I like to try and get them with other dogs as much as possible so they are big fans of the car which is also another thing I enjoy doing with them! If I am just coming to your home, I focus on your dogs and what you and they need! I love all animals of every size. I just to give them the care you want them to have!
About: I have a passion for rescuing animals that need a home and would love to help take care of any cats or dogs. I have two dogs and two cats that are all rescues. I've also rescued two other dogs, in the past, that I had to put down and fostered a cat. I have experience with puppies and kittens to senior animals that needs medication several times throughout the day. Although I have a full time job during the week and have drill one weekend a month, in my free time I like to keep busy and am willing to help out! Vet checks and keeping up with any recommended treatment is a priority to me. I treat all my animals like members of the family. This year, my dog, Karen, had to start getting injects for her allergies - I'd do anything for my fur babies! This year I decided to volunteer at my dog's boarding and daycare facility for fun!
“Katie provided excellent companionship and care for Chelsea while I was gone. When stopping in to feed her, Katie stayed and played with her, she even brought a few new toys. I received daily updates and images.”
About: I've had three black labs in my life, who have turned me into a dog obsessed human! When I attend social gatherings, I am usually found hanging out with the dog giving it some loving attention. When I was younger I walked my neighbors' dogs. One of these dogs was deaf and I learned different ways to communicate with him. I am friendly and compassionate and will provide your pet with warmth and snuggles while you are away! I work full time during the week, but evenings and most weekends I'm free to care for dogs. Whether your pup is looking for a quick walk, a mozy around the neighborhood, an active, engaging play session, or an overnighter- I will, with the occasional help of my labrador, Bella along with our dog friend, Frankie, make sure to keep your pup happy and occupied. I have a fenced in yard, a couple of friendly dogs of my own, and can crate your pup with their own crate, so please provide if crating is preferred. I prefer a meet and greet to ensure a good fit for your pup. That would look different depending on the service. Dog walking and House Sitting: I will meet you and your fur friend at your home - this will help establish trust and familiarity for the dog while you are there. At this point we can go over the safest entry into your home, routines for your pup, and any specific care requirements. Doggy Day Care and Boarding: You will meet at my home. Where I will bring my two dogs out to meet you and your pup (everybody leashed) and we can talk and sniff and ensure initial vibes are correct for everybody's safety. When we confirm that the dogs are showing no signs of threat/discomfort, we can move everybody into the gated area of our yard and let your dog off leash. We have lots of smells and space to roam about, so this should be an exciting little adventure for your friend. At this point you can share any specific care instructions and routines important to your dog's happiness.
“Alyssa was on time, communicative and professional. It was nice to not have to worry about my old boy while at work. She did a great job taking care of him! My dog and I are looking forward to booking with her again. ❤️”
“Mya was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and she went above and beyond any expectations! She cared for my animals so well and kept me updated which I greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend.”

Travis 🐾 I have had the pleasure of growing up on a farm surrounded by around animals my entire life. My family has owned many gorgeous retrievers that I fell in love with and took care of. I’d be in charge of walking, letting them out or dog sat for the weekend once I was older. Growing up this way has been a positive learning experience that lead me to be a great dog owner. 10 years ago I adopted Sadie, my first baby. She’s a beautiful lab mix. I have learned so much in the last decade about training dogs. I’ve taken puppy training class and still use a lot of that knowledge till this day. Sadie is extremely well trained and if I could I would 100% be a dog trainer. I’m not a dog whisperer but I definitely have a good understanding of how to handle pups and adult dogs. Dogs are easily my main love, but all animals have a special place in my heart. I value the connection and constant love they show towards their owners. I treat my dog like my daughter and would love to have have more one day. It would be a pleasure to care after your family member. I work full time M-F, with the ability to stop at home during the day. Also my wife is home most Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. So we work together to let the dogs out at appropriate time and keep them on their feeding schedule. Weekends are fun times with plenty walking, hikes, swimming, and dog parks if the owner is comfortable with us doing so. We go for two to 3 walks a day with our playful lab pups. We always have dogs on leash, and we have multiple kennels for our dogs if needed.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 8. I pay attention to all the pets that I care for. I also am very good at attending to dogs with anything they need. I am looking to do this full time and I am flexible with anyone’s schedule. I am home most of the time except to run errands. I have a big house and big yard that is fenced in. I live 5 minutes away from a big dog park. I also live with my mom and two of my siblings. There are four medium sized dogs that live in this house and enjoy playing with most other dogs.
“Emma dropped in on our two cats (one of which needed medication every 12 hrs) during our trip and was very communicative during the visits. She sent pictures every day and even cleaned everything up on the last visit. We will definitely use her again for our next trip.”
About: I have taken care of many different types of animals in animal shelter settings and have worked at Blue Pearl Emergency Vet. This included potty breaks, play-time and giving them food and their medications when needed. I have taken care of diabetic animals and animals with injuries, etc. I have also had many different types of animals since the day I was born. I have a flexible schedule and am willing to work around different work schedules or vacation times, etc. I am interested in helping whenever needed. I will follow different directions as given or told depending on the animals needs and what is best for the family and animal. It will vary depending on what is needed.
About: At the moment I have a cat at my own. This has shown me how to better car for a cat. I have learn tha some cats like wet food over dry food. My cat love a laser pointer. I take every pet to be an individual with their own special needs
About: I’ve sat for teachers, family, and friends. --I also pet + house sit on other apps and am quite new to rover -but not sitting-- Usually a mix of cats and dogs, but I would love to sit turtles, birds and other pets! I have experience house sitting and caring for multiple cats at a time.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Banner
“Emma was great, she went above & beyond to make sure Indagos stay was great! She's so good with him. I'm so thankful she likes him & Indago liked her. I was worried being a blue healer with lots of energy. Only God could provide such a great dog sitter for him. 💛🐕💛”
“Bandit absolutely loved going to Judy’s house! He had so much fun and was so snoozy after! She gave lots of updates and I loved that she took lots of pictures! Thank you! Will be using her again!”
“Frankie was so nice. We met before the scheduled date. She gave a detailed and great description before the drop off time and made sure everything was fine. Riley came back happy.”
About: I’ve worked with variety of species, specializing with dogs! I have skills with grooming and training. I have 4 of my own dogs and do dog sports as well! I work from home so I have extra time to care for your pets and am able to move around my schedule. Saturdays are the only days I may not be able to take same day bookings! I understand crate and gate management and will make sure your animals are happy and healthy! As of right now I can’t offer boarding in my own home but maybe in the future
About: ☀️$35/night for bookings during August 1st-September 30th! Discount applied at booking. Does not include Rover's booking fees. Holidays discounted to $43/night. When your pup comes here, you can expect heart, home, and a whole lot of wholesome fun! 🐾💛 Our business model is built on trust, transparency, professionalism, and safety. We are also fully insured by a third party. ✔️ We have owned a dog all our lives! We currently have one dog, Sadie, who is the most affectionate hostess you could meet. 🥰 Between Bryan and Emily, hours are logged volunteering at the humane society, dog-sitting for large and small dogs alike, and experiencing all personalities. With over 15 years of personal experience pre-Rover and over 5 years on Rover, we treat dogs personally, as the individuals they are! Developing a personal understanding is our priority so that the dog feels comfortable and well-loved, even if mom or dad aren't there. The activities naturally follow! Our family favorites are long walks, visits to the dog park, and zoomies around the house. Our family can't wait to add your dog to our fluffy circle of friends! We have one toddler. We have enough space to keep her separate from the dogs we take on and take every precaution to promote complete safety. Regardless, we do require all dogs to be tolerant of children as a baseline precaution! (*PLEASE NOTE* Dogs MUST be friendly with other dogs and children. A meet and greet is required prior to any new bookings. Due to the fact we want to accommodate daycare and boarding clients, we require as a prerequisite that your dog be good with other dogs as there may be times they overlap. We take every precaution to keep any overlapping dogs separate unless/until we are 100% confident they will be safe and friendly buddies! We will also *always* ask first about your comfort level with overlapping bookings! For new clients, overlapping is avoided if at all possible. Sometimes, it just happens, be it a few hours of daycare or a pickup/drop off. Thank you for understanding.) Emily is a stay at home mom. Bryan works a mile away and comes home for lunch! We try to make it a daily routine to fit a walk into the morning or the evening. Our schedules are extremely conducive to pet care! *EXPANSION COMING SUMMER 2026* A personal home environment with large kennel standards. ✨ Fully insured with policies built on trust. We live in the spacious upper unit of the duplex we own. Our home is dog-proofed - everything edible is either well out of reach or, in the case of our trash can, has a child lock. Our yard is not fenced in (soon to change, stay tuned!) so we ensure our dogs are securely leashed before exiting. Currently, we max out at two dogs taken in at a time, only with explicit owner permission to overlap dogs from different households. When we expand in August '26, we will raise that to 4 with the ability to keep small dogs (30lbs and under) completely separate from large dogs, and keep all dogs separate from each other. We regularly clean and sanitize dog spaces and dishes! Emily and Bryan are experienced in dog behavior. We monitor all play very closely and keep dogs in separate rooms at meal times. Dogs are encouraged to join us on the couches and overall treated like family – minus the access to human food, of course, much to their chagrin. ;)
“You have a great place for a pup to hang out! Thank you for taking care of Duke, he must have had a great time because he’s all tuckered out! We hope you’re available next time we are in the area. Take care, and thanks!”
“Emily communicated great before and during our dog’s puppy daycare with her. Her and her husband were both super friendly and listened to our comments regarding our puppy. Our dog got along great with their dog, Ruby. This was a really great experience and I’d highly recommend Emily to anyone.”
“Ryan was very accommodating and thoughtful as we dropped our dog off for an afternoon. He listened and was engaging as we discussed our pup’s routine. We would go back to Ryan next time we are in the area.”

About: Hi I'm Matt. I'm a big animal lover, and have been in the animal field for 15yrs working with all different types of wildlife. Have experience in giving vaccines(IM or SQ), oral meds, and basic care. I have since moved onto a new adventure in lawncare. I have been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with a German Shepherd, a purebred Samoyed, and a tabby cat. Currently, I have 2 beagle-shepherd mixes, Hunter and Holmes, who are 2 of the sweetest boys you will meet. We are often outdoors taking our daily walk, hiking local state parks, camping, or just working in the yard. I have always loved being around animals, especially dogs, and find that having them brings such happiness to life. The boys and I are together daily. I currently work typically Mondays thru Fridays sometimes varied or longer hours. However, we always make time to go for a walk daily, and on the weekends typically are out exploring. Hunter gets meds twice a day in a pill supplement as well as I trim their nails and baths occasionally. I currently rent a duplex that has a fenced backyard, and also have a spare bedroom and wire kennel if needed. Typically my dogs free roam during the day, and are good to be alone overnight or up to 10hrs which can allow me to spend time with your furry friend.
“Best Rover ever. My corgis were so happy with the two days they were there and they usually never get that excited with anyone else. Recommending everyone in Milwaukee area to go see her for doggy needs”
About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets since I was 12 which includes staying overnight at their homes when they are gone for weeks. I do long and short care sitting for pets. I love to spend time with pets and making sure they get the care they deserve. I am currently not working right now but will have a part time job soon. I will talk with the owners and work out a good schedule that will work best for all. Growing up we have used an invisible fence and radio collars to keep our dogs in our yard. We made sure to check in on them periodically while they were outside. While I'm taking care of my friends pets, I would play inside and outside with them, go on walks with them, and make sure they get the best care.

About: I've worked over 16 years with dogs and cats at a local animal shelter. I have assisted hundreds of people over that time with training, and also trained many dogs to set them up for success. I can bathe, trim nails, clean ears. I'm extremely responsible and reliable and have completed several cerificate courses regarding training, care, behavior modification, in addition to my hand's on experience.

About: I’ve been a dog owner since 10 years old and have not gone without mans best friend since! I currently live on 23 acres in the country and long walks and chasing balls packs in most of the day with my 4 dogs Jetta, Odie, Ruby and Rowley. All dogs are dog friendly and well mannered. Graduating puppy classes to canine good citizen classes, plus dabbling in agility and herding. I currently work Weekends Friday-Sunday and my week is filled with lots of outdoor time on my hobbies farm. Lots of free time during the week helps me have fun with my animals and enjoy the sunshine. All my pets are cat and dog friendly and have full freedom of the property. New comers are always on a 12 foot leash during playtime and walks, unless E-collar trained. When first meeting owners I go over your dogs recall manners and slowly introduce them to the pack on a long property walk. This helps incorporate pack leadership and expelling energy at the same time.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I had my own dog for 16 years, from childhood through her senior years, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency dogs need at every stage of life. I regularly walked her and taught her commands like sit, shake, and roll over. As she got older and developed health conditions, I continued caring for her with patience and attention to her changing needs. I’ve also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society and used to go with my mom when I was younger, which helped me become comfortable around dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’m dependable, caring, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I’m home from college for the summer and looking for a fun, active way to spend my weekdays doing something I genuinely enjoy. I only work a few nights a week, so I have a pretty flexible daytime schedule for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I’ve always loved being around dogs, so this feels like the perfect side job for me while I’m home. I enjoy getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals, and I’d love to help give your pets some extra attention, exercise, and care during the day. When caring for pets, I always try to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. During walks I keep dogs closely leashed, pay attention to our surroundings, bring water and waste bags, and make sure not to walk too far especially in hot weather or with older dogs. For drop in visits I make sure pets have fresh food and water, get attention and play time, and that everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also know how important pets are to people, so I’d always keep owners updated and send pictures when I can.

Not only am I experienced with dogs and cats, I am also experienced with special needs pets and administering medication. I am currently searching for full time employment, but as of right now I am very flexible! Once a do acquire employment, I am still flexible but will update my availability! I can follow instructions to the letter, and offer enrichment activities such as walks or playtime.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and recently I’ve been going to the cat cafe here to make sure I know how to properly socialize with kitties!

“Travis is amazing with our two dogs! We feel lucky to have found him. He welcomes and follows our detailed dog care instructions. The dogs always seem happy and tired after spending time with him.”
About: I have owned and watch dogs but also cats. I have a love for animals and I get very excited meeting new ones. It’s the best experience to me. I’m available anytime. I would be able to do last minute set ups. I’m sometimes away from home around 2-4 pm but that’s not often Everyone in the house loves animals, especially dogs. The most love is given like their our own. We get very excited and take them out for long walks. My dog has been around puppies before and he loves to be around other dogs.

“We will book with Molly again! Our fur babies had to stay with her for 2 days/1 night Molly was amazing with our babies Perrito and Gregorny. We had to find a dogsitter last minute and we found her. The day before we needed a sitter, she offered to do a quick meet and greet to see if Perrito and Gregorny would get along with Skyy (Molly's 3 yr old pet) and it went well. During Perrito and Gregorny's stay at her place, she kept us updated and sent us pictures! It was great knowing that they are all warming up to her, our babies can get pretty shy and easily get scared. I believe they also warmed up with Skyy eventually. Thanks again, Molly!!! 🫶🏽”

About: As someone who loves both dogs and cats, I understand that every animal has a unique personality. I know that some pets want nonstop playtime while others prefer quiet companionship. I take the time to make pets feel comfortable and respected, helping reduce stress while their owners are away.

I only work a fees shifts a week so I can be there for your pets a majority of the day!! I have a 1 bedroom apartment but it’s always clean, and there’s plenty of room! I do have a cat of my own so I would prefer to watch your pet at your home!
