“Mary took such wonderful care of our dog while we were gone for a week on vacation. She sent pictures every day and went on daily walks. Her dog is such a sweetheart and our dog loved every minute. She came back home happy and not stressed out like she would after getting kenneled. So glad we were able to use her services. We highly recommend!”
“Christine is great. She responds to messages really quick. She set up a meet and greet the day I messaged her about boarding. She took time to explain everything to me and she has a fenced yard for my dog to run. She sent me several photos during the stay. She also took my dog to dog park to play. Her schedule is also very flexible. I had to drop off my dog in early morning and pick up in late night and she accommodated our requests. My dog looks really happy when I pick her up. I will definitely choose her again next time I am out of town.”
“There are no words to express how thankful we are. Traci and her family made our family feel completely at ease while we were away for the very first time. This was our first experience leaving our baby with someone else, and trusting another family to care for him was a big step for us. Traci and her family treated our boy as if he were their own. She kept us updated, which we deeply appreciated, and you can see in the photos just how comfortable and safe he felt. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. For anyone considering care, we highly recommend Traci and her family. They are truly the best. And their dog, Wilfred — the cutest, kindest boy ever — made the experience even sweeter.”
“Emma took very good care of my lab mixes. They enjoyed their walks and being outside in their big back yard. They're older dogs so didn't play much but felt Emma did a wonderful job meeting their needs!”
“The dogs had a great time during their first stay here! Sumer and her family were able to take them some what short notice as our long time boarder was unexpectedly moving out of town and we really appreciated that. They took great care of the dogs and our dogs had fun playing with their pups. They have a good size backyard and we were happy to get pictures and updates that they were doing well. Thanks again!”
“We felt Teddy was very well taken care of. He got lots of love, plenty of tennis ball throws, and sweet cuddles from Heather and her daughter. It felt great knowing Teddy was in such good hands while we were away.”
“Clarissa really looked after our dog while we were on vacation for 8 days. She picked him up and ripped him off. He came back looking healthy and relaxed. Much better than boarding. Will use her services again in future.”
“Ryan and his family were amazing when watching cooper! We will never go back to a boarding place after leaving cooper with them. They sent us pictures and let us know what he was doing throughout the day. We definitely be reaching back out to Ryan and his family!!”
“Kristin and Bruce did a great job with my older dog, Madigan. She is sometimes anere xious to be away from home, but she was at ease from the minute we walked in the door. This is the first time in the last six years we did not have someone come in to the home. The pictures showed a relaxed, happy dog and her tail and ears were high when I arrived to pick her up. Dogs know people and she is loyal to "her pack", but our dog loved being a part of Kristin and Bruce's pack. I highly recommend Kristin and Bruce. You will not be disappointed!”
“Theresa was fantastic with our pup and we would definitely highly recommend her. He had opportunities to play inside and outside and Theresa sent photos while we were away which were great to see. You can tell she loves her pet guests and treats them like family.”
“Sarah did a great job with our highly anxious dog. I know she was really stressed being away from our family, so we appreciate all Sarah did. She worked with us when we had to adjust who picked our dog up and we had no issues.”
“Marie's place was a perfect fit for my curious dog. I know he had plent of attention and was even able to help with chores! He was clearly very comfortable and I know we will be asking for Marie's help again.”
“Ashley is super friendly and fantastic pet sitter. My dogs were happy and comfortable at Ashley's home. Bonus: My dogs loved hanging out with her sweet dogs. I absolutely recommend her and her home!!! I've already scheduled another visit. Highly recommend!!!”
“Tessa has been an absolute delight and I'm so glad to have trusted her with my Trixie. She helped celebrate Trixie's birthday and took her on so many walks and ample outside time! Highly recommend Tessa (and Tennessee)!”
“Ryan and Martha took wonderful care of my dog. They treated her as a member of their family. They took her for walks and sent daily pictures. I will certainly ask them to care for Ella again when needed.”
“Christina (and family) took care of Bucky (our toy poodle) for two weeks. It was really hard to leave him for that long but it was sooo obvious Bucky had a great time. We hope they'll take him back in the future (if not for two weeks!).”
“Juan has great! He and his son were very attentive with our dog. We were sent pictures throughout the day, and given updates about how our boy was doing! He has very high anxiety with strangers, and he had no problem calming down and napping with this family! When booking, we were told another dog would also be in Juan's care. He made sure that was okay with us, and went above and beyond to make sure our dogs never crossed paths (as we don't know if our dog is good with others yet) If you need a sitter, Juan is a great option! Very flexible, kind, and an overall great influence on your furry friend!”
“Our quirky rescue pup was so well taken care of while we were away! In every update we got it was clear that our dog was feeling more and more comfortable and was left in good hands. We will definitely book again!”

“Caleigh is a great cat sitter. This was our first scheduled house sitter/ cat sitter with her and she exceeded our expectations. One of our kitties was ill during the time we were away and Caleigh sent reports, pictures, and also suggested changes for her care of the kitty that we discussed by text. It was clear that she cared for him and was giving him close attention. Both kitties were content and calm when we returned and everything in the house was clean and neat. We highly recommend her.”
“Hailey was amazing with my two cats! From the photos she shared, I could tell that they were completely happy and comfortable with her. She sent detailed reports and lots of photos, which gave me peace of mind that the kitties were doing well while I was away. Thank you, Hailey!”
About: I have had animals and cared for animals since I was young. On top of my personal animals, I have also dog and cat sat for family friends. I have also dealt with a diabetic cat and it’s shots. I am mostly just available on Fridays after 10:30 and on the weekends. I do sometimes have the availability for an afternoon (after 4) walk or drop in. I can care for your animals as you see fit in your home and follow your standards for your animals and home. If wanting some play time with another dog, I can also bring my own dog, who loves other dogs, for some play time.
“Samantha was wonderful! She was great with communication and left me feeling totally confident leaving my cat in her care. Would recommend and rebook with her again in a heartbeat!”

About: I have 2 dogs of my own. Also I have experience with older dogs and puppies. I love all animals! I'm not scared of much either! I currently work part time. So I'm pretty open. Tuesdays and every other Sunday I'm available afternoon. That could potentially change if more work comes in. I care for my pets by taking them to the dog park twice a week making sure they have food and water. Also making sure they are utd on their shots. For taking care of your pet tho that would go off of how you would want me to take care of your animals. You are the owner. I'm just there to help you out and take care of your animals.
About: I have owned cats my whole life, both indoor and outdoor. I am very comfortable providing care to cats of all ages. I have experience caring for senior cats, sick cats, or kittens. I can administer medications if necessary, and can provide the BEST cuddles for your kitties (if they allow it!) I have two cats of my own currently, so I know how mischievous they can be or needing playful stimulation when home alone for too long. I would love to give you peace of mind in making sure your cat is well cared for and looked after when you are away from home.
About: I have over 25 years of experience caring for cats of all personalities, from playful and social to shy and independent. I understand that cats require patience, respect, and a calm environment to feel safe. I follow your cat’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, litter box care, and any special instructions. I am comfortable administering medications if needed and paying attention to changes in behavior or health. I keep your home clean, your cat comfortable, and provide updates so you always know your pet is safe and cared for. Your cat will not just be checked on. They will be understood, respected, and cared for with intention.
About: I have taken care of many different pets throughout my life but have a special love for dogs and cats! Past employers, neighbors, friends and family have all relied on me to care for their furry friends and I would love to care for yours as well! I am available any time of day to care for your furry friends, however, I typically tend to do most of my walks during normal working hours when clients are unable to walk their dogs or take them outside due to working away from the home. As a huge animal lover, you can ensure your pet will receive lots of love, affection, and treats from me! I love to take long walks and make an awesome fetch partner.
About: Hello! I am an experienced cat caretaker, having taken care of cats since I was 13, and professionally pet sat for the last two years. I would love the opportunity to provide a nurturing and fun environment for your cats in your absence!
About: I grew up on a horse farm. I always had dogs for most of my life . Except when I lived in an apartment for a short time where I could not have one. My sister and I use to have fake dog shows as kids. It was so much fun. Now I have 2 loveable doggies of my own that i adopted . They love our fenced in backyard and my daughter and I walk them every day as a team.When Taylor was a toddler we would go out and visit grandma and aunt / sister and give chino her dog lots of love and walks. Also in the last 5 years my late moms dog rosie who was also adopted. Dogs are great.
“This was my very first experience using a pet-sitting service. I chose Estefanny because of her very high ratings and she did not disappoint. My ancient kitty Larry doesn't do well staying by himself anymore. Estefanny not only assured that he had regular meals, water, and meds, but she also stayed with him at night so he wasn't lonely. Larry clearly loved her. She sent an update and photos every day, many of which showed him on her lap or in the spare bed, so he was obviously comfortable sleeping with her. To be honest, I expected her to be great with Larry. What I didn't expect was, after 5 nights sleeping at my house, I couldn't even tell she had been there. The place was exactly as I had left it - I swear she packed out her own garbage! Estefanny clearly cares for pets and is pleasant, reliable, and responsive. The highest recommendation I can give her is that I'm headed out of town again next month and I've already booked Estefanny to take care of Larry. The whole experience was just terrific!”

“Sarah and her pack did awesome!!! Can't thank her enough for taking in Winnie on such short notice. When I picked up Winnie I was taken back at how much Winnie had bonded with Sarah in such a short period of time. Sarah was aware of Winnie's IBD issues and updated me on how she did. I really appreciated her for that!!!! This family definitely loves dogs!!!”
“Brandi was amazing! She helped us out on short notice, took great care of our dog, and sent lots of photos and updates throughout the day. Our dog is usually very anxious, but he felt comfortable with her, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We felt completely confident leaving him in her care and would happily book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
“This was our first time using Heather (and the family!!) for daycare for Nola! He had a blast and came home happy and tired. We are using Heather again for a longer trip and our worries about leaving Nola at home have evaporated!”
About: Former full-time human medical provider of 18 years; now available for pup sitting. Takes frequent walks with the neighborhood dog pack. Owner of one special dog named Tennessee. I’m free to organize my schedule between pet sitting and working on my business. Currently available most days until July 20th! Will update calendar when I know more. I like routine. I think pets appreciate kibble and potty breaks on a familiar schedule. I will honor your wishes for care, play, walks, and socializing.
“Theresa was very nice and very accommodating. She sent pictures of our Goshi and I am sure Goshi had a great time as he was all pooped out when we got home. Thank you Theresa for taking care of Goshi!”
“So flexible and helpful with my pup! I trust her 100% and know when I pick my dog up she will be tired from playing outside, with toys or with other dogs! I highly recommend Ashlee and will continue to use her for all of our dog sitting needs!”
“Very wonderful place and family for my dog to stay! She managed to squeeze us in on short notice, take him early in the morning, and sent me a few pictures and small updates throughout the day. He freaked out for a bit when we left but later made himself quite at home and fell asleep on her. Highly recommended taking your pet here if you need a sitter!”
About: I've cared for cats and dogs my own as well as other owners, for the last 20-plus years I also have experience with other kinds of animals. I protect animals fiercely and I am extremely receptive of detail and specifics that any pet owner may have for me. I have varied availability throughout the week and weekend. Although I have another job, and have a family, I still have flexibility to do pet care. :-) I care for my own animals deeply in one of my top priorities is meeting their needs. I probably even go above and beyond for someone else's pet as I understand that someone else is putting their fur babies in my care. I appreciate good communication and I pay attention to details that a pet owner may have for me.
About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life. I house and dog sit for a variety of people based on recommendations. I am very passionate about animals and will always take very good care of them. I am currently only working as a pet sitter. I love pet sitting because I get to meet pet parents and care for a variety of different animals. I am a stay at home mom looking to combine my love for animals with be able to stay at home with my daughter. I own 3 cats and two dogs. I have experience grooming both dogs and cats professionally. I clean the cats litter once a day. There is always water available for all my pets. I provide enrichment exercises throughout the day for my dogs such as lick mats, puzzles, and toys. My dogs also have access to the fenced in back yard as well.
About: I have had animals since I was very young so lots of experience. Have owned 3 rescue dogs who are just like members of my family. Recently, I have been helping friends with their animals when they vacation and am looking to extend my client group to the local area. I am very active so walking dogs is very enjoyable for me. I am free most mornings and nights and have longer breaks during my work day that would allow flexibility for drop ins and walks all week. I am able to come to your home and provide for your pet's needs including walks, feeding, potty breaks etc. I've even been known to clean a litter box or two. Can provide references upon request.
About: I have cared for every type of animal from childhood varying from dogs, cats, horses, and goats. I have cared for these animals from birth to end of life care while administering end of life medications. I’m currently available throughout the week and weekends while I’m in between jobs. I currently do not have any restrictions in my schedule for my availability. I do have a new baby at home and would like to be able to bring her to long stays if it is a good fitting for your family and pets. If not, I completely understand and have alternative arrangements for her. I have a (small) fenced yard and two small dogs (pugs) who can keep your dogs company. I can also crate if needed. The fence is not equipped for large dogs and is approximately four feet high.
“Jenny and Darin were great! They provided updates throughout the day and took great care of our slightly anxious puppy :) Will definitely book with them again!”
“This was our first experience leaving our dogs at day care. We were nervous, but everything went great. Evelyn took wonderful care of them, took every nuance into consideration (one of our dogs is still a puppy), was always in touch and sent us cute pictures. The dogs came home stress free. Definitely recommended and we will be back again.”
About: My love for animals started as a child going to dog shows and pet sitting for friends. I love watching shows like Caesar Milan and PitBulls and Parolees. Over the years, I have owned multiple cats with varying personalities and temperaments, petsat, and walked all sizes of dogs from chihuahuas to Irish wolfhounds. Also, I have worked with aggressive or easily overexcited breeds. If your pet is like this, just let me know and I will do my best to care for them. I decided to become a professional on Rover because I am passionate about animals and enjoy every minute with them. It also provides me with the flexible hours I need to care for my young daughters. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I am currently a full time mom, but have plenty of time to play with, walk, and care for your fur babies while my girls are in school. I am available after 8:30 am for drop ins or walks. For boarding I am able to keep overnight. I have a large, fenced yard for dogs to run, play, and do their business. I can keep pets separated upstairs and downstairs if needed. I am very respectful of other's personal property if you need me to care for your pets in your own home.
“Kristin and Bruce provided exceptional daycare services. My senior dog initially had anxiety being in a different home. Kristen and Bruce were very attentive and made her feel comfortable.”
“Martha is so great, she accommodated us last minute which was so helpful! She sent update pictures which I really appreciate! Uma was in great care and had fun with her boys. They took her for walks and played with her. I’d recommend Martha and her family :)”
“Robert was flexible and communicative. I wasn’t worried about my dogs in his care at all, and they seemed to have had a great time based on how tired they were when they got home. We look forward to working with him again in the future.”
“Nelly had a great time with Priyanka! Sometimes Nelly is timid in new situations but she seemed comfortable with Pri right away. We appreciated receiving some cute pictures of the fun times she was having, with walks and cuddles and lots of attention. We will definitely rebook with Pri the next time Nelly needs day care or boarding!”
“Yecid was very attentive to my dog's care. He followed Max's feeding instructions and kept me informed and sent me photos throughout the day. I truly recommend this sitter. Thank you for your services, which I will use in the future.”
“Emily responded quickly to my request for daycare and we did a meet & greet the day before to make sure my dog Wolfie and her two dogs Gus & Bailey got along. It was perfect, all was good. The actual day of daycare Wolfie couldn’t wait to get inside Emily’s house! Wolfie played a lot and was very chill/tired for the evening. Emily is very nice and took great care of my pup! Highly recommend. Thanks Emily!!”

About: I specialize in walking, running, or playing ball with your high energy dog(s). I currently am an approved foster for two Malinois rescues and have experience with working , herding, and hunting breeds. I am a previous large animal vet tech with ample small animal experience. In addition, I can provide pet medication services. I am in Janesville and Beloit on a daily basis. I have a fairly flexible schedule to provide services for pets outside of my home.

I prefer to schedule our first meet and greet with you present so your pet feels comfortable with me. At that time, we can discuss your expectations and your pets current schedule.

About: Since the 90s I have been a continuous pet mom. Before that I grew up with animals of all sorts and have such deep love for them. Once I was able to adopt my own I started a legacy. From Kingu, a liver spotted Dalmatian and her daughter Chiquita (banana at times) I helped to birth along with 8 other puppies; for a short while my sweet kitty and vagabond Puti; adding a guinea pig living with us for 8 years named Pomi; the most loving Zoe the cockatiel, who loved to jump into the shower for a steam bath and various fish varieties in a colorful aquarium; you name it, we had it! My daughter and I created a home full of life and love shared for many years. I continued to rescue Vedder Bear the Chesapeake bay retriever needing special care for diabetes and lastly my sweetest Moumou, a pit terrier mix who turned 16 years of age. She has passed away a few months ago and my heart is sore and I am not quite ready for a new pet! However, I have a calling to be of help for all the pet moms and dads out there and share my love for our four/ three/ two legged family members! As of 2025 I can also add chicken whisperess to my profile! What a joy!! I hope to soothe your mind and heart while you are away from your beloved family member. <3 I have an online Vintage store, a local booth at an antique mall and am an Artist. Great passions and loves of mine! I work from home and I have a mostly flexible schedule, which allows me to open up time for another angle of my passions, my love for animals. It makes me happy as I am a nurturer by nature! ;-) Frankly, it is purely selfish to care for pets! I love animals, they get my attention the minute I am around them, because their presence is special. I added as a safety precaution, a personalized “Sitter” collar tag, your pet will wear while with me. It is meant to be just in case! Recently, I had a dog from Texas here and I realized that if any out-of-town dog especially would ever get loose/ lost, I would want them to be found with a local phone number. However, this is not something I expect to happen, but I just want to make sure! ☺️ I added the look of the tag in my pictures. If the pooches are in my vehicle for a ride. I have dog seat belts (x2) I use. Each one is special! I can't help myself! I feel into the needs of each animal. Playful to shy, young to old, special needs or easy peasy. I adapt to what their mom/dad want me to tend to, as well as nurture their unique personality. What certainly helps is heaps of experience with my own pets as well as pets of others I cared for ;-) My house is tailored for dogs, as I up until recently had my dog Moumou here with me. In my photos section, you can see some images of the back yard and house. ;-) As an additional safety precaution I have an especially made "dog sitter tag" I put on the collar while your pet is with me. Even though I do not anticipate any issues, I want to assure they are easily identified.

Dogs are such an important part of my life, and I’ll care for your pup like they’re one of my own. I always go above and beyond to make sure dogs feel safe, loved, exercised, and happy while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or extra attention, I’m committed to providing the best care possible. I also have a reliable vehicle and can transport dogs to local dog parks if they need more exercise than a walk can provide or if you don’t have a yard available. I work full-time in Madison Monday through Friday during standard business hours, so I may not be the best fit for services that require potty breaks or walks during those times. However, I do occasionally have flexibility in my schedule and may be able to accommodate certain requests, so please don't hesitate to ask if I can make it work. My evenings and weekends are typically very flexible and available. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I’d love to chat and see if I’d be a good fit for your pup! :)
About: I have had cats for more than half of my life and dog-sat for around the same amount of time. I used to dog sit two huskies all the time, had a dog of my own for a short time, and have experience dog sitting for labs as well! I have even taken care of a bearded dragon and snake on multiple occasions. Rover does not list animals other than cats and dogs directly but I am happy to arrange care for another animal as well, including exotic animals, for a fee that can be discussed. I am volunteering at the humane society and am very involved in caring for animals as much as I have time for. I am excited and ready to care for any and all pets that need it and will stick to specific details given. I won't hesitate to ask questions about the care of your pets when I have them to make sure your pet gets the utmost care and love while you're away or busy, and id yoy have plants that need watering, say the word and I'll do that too! I am currently full time in senior year of high-school and volunteering for two hours a week on the weekends, but I graduate in a month and will have all the time in the world to pet sit! I follow every instruction for food, water, walk, and treats and ask questions if I am unsure of something. I tend to stay longer than needed for check in visits just to give pets some company if I have the time. Unless pets are not very social, they will get all kinds of attention, and if they have any anxiety or behavioral differences I will be very careful and act however is best for them. I am very sure to be on time for visits and will be very specific to follow instructions for walking or being taken outside.

“Mary took such wonderful care of our dog while we were gone for a week on vacation. She sent pictures every day and went on daily walks. Her dog is such a sweetheart and our dog loved every minute. She came back home happy and not stressed out like she would after getting kenneled. So glad we were able to use her services. We highly recommend!”
“Christine is great. She responds to messages really quick. She set up a meet and greet the day I messaged her about boarding. She took time to explain everything to me and she has a fenced yard for my dog to run. She sent me several photos during the stay. She also took my dog to dog park to play. Her schedule is also very flexible. I had to drop off my dog in early morning and pick up in late night and she accommodated our requests. My dog looks really happy when I pick her up. I will definitely choose her again next time I am out of town.”
“Emma took very good care of my lab mixes. They enjoyed their walks and being outside in their big back yard. They're older dogs so didn't play much but felt Emma did a wonderful job meeting their needs!”
“The dogs had a great time during their first stay here! Sumer and her family were able to take them some what short notice as our long time boarder was unexpectedly moving out of town and we really appreciated that. They took great care of the dogs and our dogs had fun playing with their pups. They have a good size backyard and we were happy to get pictures and updates that they were doing well. Thanks again!”
“We felt Teddy was very well taken care of. He got lots of love, plenty of tennis ball throws, and sweet cuddles from Heather and her daughter. It felt great knowing Teddy was in such good hands while we were away.”
“Clarissa really looked after our dog while we were on vacation for 8 days. She picked him up and ripped him off. He came back looking healthy and relaxed. Much better than boarding. Will use her services again in future.”
“Ryan and his family were amazing when watching cooper! We will never go back to a boarding place after leaving cooper with them. They sent us pictures and let us know what he was doing throughout the day. We definitely be reaching back out to Ryan and his family!!”
“Kristin and Bruce did a great job with my older dog, Madigan. She is sometimes anere xious to be away from home, but she was at ease from the minute we walked in the door. This is the first time in the last six years we did not have someone come in to the home. The pictures showed a relaxed, happy dog and her tail and ears were high when I arrived to pick her up. Dogs know people and she is loyal to "her pack", but our dog loved being a part of Kristin and Bruce's pack. I highly recommend Kristin and Bruce. You will not be disappointed!”
“Sarah did a great job with our highly anxious dog. I know she was really stressed being away from our family, so we appreciate all Sarah did. She worked with us when we had to adjust who picked our dog up and we had no issues.”
“Marie's place was a perfect fit for my curious dog. I know he had plent of attention and was even able to help with chores! He was clearly very comfortable and I know we will be asking for Marie's help again.”
“Ashley is super friendly and fantastic pet sitter. My dogs were happy and comfortable at Ashley's home. Bonus: My dogs loved hanging out with her sweet dogs. I absolutely recommend her and her home!!! I've already scheduled another visit. Highly recommend!!!”
“Ryan and Martha took wonderful care of my dog. They treated her as a member of their family. They took her for walks and sent daily pictures. I will certainly ask them to care for Ella again when needed.”
“Juan has great! He and his son were very attentive with our dog. We were sent pictures throughout the day, and given updates about how our boy was doing! He has very high anxiety with strangers, and he had no problem calming down and napping with this family! When booking, we were told another dog would also be in Juan's care. He made sure that was okay with us, and went above and beyond to make sure our dogs never crossed paths (as we don't know if our dog is good with others yet) If you need a sitter, Juan is a great option! Very flexible, kind, and an overall great influence on your furry friend!”
“Brad was really great with communication and flexible. Cass seemed to have fit in well with his pack and made herself right at home in his place. I would definitely let Brad watch my doggo again :)”
“Tanya and her family were wonderful with Murphy. It was his first time at a sleepover and he loved it. Was so happy and we received the cutest Halloween/fall pictures while he was there.”
“My dog cooper has a lot of anxiety and has chronic condition. Jeremy and christina accommodate us very well and were very careful with cooper. I could tell cooper had nice time there, we will definitely continue booking with them and highly recommend them for all pet parents.”
“Michelle (and family) took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town for 2 days, even keeping her calm during a storm. Great communication, too!”
