“Brandi did a wonderful job caring for our pup Maggie for our weekend away. This was the first time being away from our fur baby and she made it easy for all of us to know Maggie was having a super fun time! Thanks Brandi!”
“Tammie is always great with my pups! She is their happy home away from home. Great care, great sitter, great people. I wouldn’t want to take my girls anywhere else for extended care.😊”
“Christy is AWESOME!! If I could give her 10 stars, I would! She took such loving care of Nash for the week that we were on vacation, and Nash made so many new friends, too! She kept us updated with pics and videos so that we never wondered if he was missing us (he wasn't 😃). I will be looking for Christy's availability whenever we need a sitter again!”
“Luna absolutely loved staying with Colleen. Colleen took great care of her, kept us updated with photos and videos, and was very flexible with us. We will definitely be using her again!!”

“Kara and Ben have a beautiful, kind, and loving family. They welcomed my high energy puppy girl into their home, and she clearly had fun playing with their dog and kids for many days while I was in the hospital. I get the sense that they want their kids to experience different pets for the learning experience, which is very cool I think. They seem to enjoy the experience overall, which made it so comfortable for me. Thanks so much!”
“Nick is caring and active Boarder. He made Nikki and I comfortable with our first "sitter" experience and Nikki really took to him. She seemed really happy with him and Im really grateful for that. Im relieved that I can get away and trust that my dear dear fur child is cared for with such detail. Very grateful we know Nick!!”
“Hannah is the perfect sitter for our dog, whether we need to leave him for a long day or a longer than 2 week period. She clearly has a good understanding of animals in general, creating a calm but stimulating environment, making our pet feel secure and happy. We feel fortunate to have found Hannah as our dog’s home away from home when we can’t take him with us.”
“Andrea is a thoughtful, caring sitter who provides regular updates and photos . She responds quickly to messages. She has a nice, fenced backyard. We will be having her care for our dog again soon!”
“Xao was AMAZING?!! She took care of my Skyy extremely well!! I was so pleased with all the pics and videos I rec'd bc they showed my fur baby so happy! It was an awesome plus she had small fur babies as well bc now they are friends?! The attention Skyy rec'd was phenomenal and again the special care displayed was appreciated and EVERYTIME I travel without Skyy I know she will be in the best care with XAO?...THANK YOU Rover for having a true fur baby professional on your site☺️...”

“Goose was so happy staying with Leora. I was in town for business before heading to Carbondale to attend a memorial for my brother who passed in March. While I’ve had to work Goose stayed for both boarding and day care. He was happy to see me and happy to go back. I recommend Leora”

“Cali did amazing with our 3 cats and us being out of the country. She did great with our 1 very difficult cat. Kept 2 separate from one, so no fighting. They warmed up to her better than expected. Cali gave wonderful daily updates, pictures. This was our first time using this app and our first time leaving our babies. I felt very comfortable! Cali was respectful to our home as well! We are extremely satisfied!!”

“We have a nervous girl and it was the first time leaving her while we’re on vacation. By the last visit, our Winnie was taking treats out of Nicole’s hand - she doesn’t even normally do this with me! Nicole provided detailed updates and pictures even when Winnie was hiding.”
“Kayla was a delight to have care for my kitty! She was timely and kind with all communications and did an outstanding job. Very caring and quite thorough. Would gladly have her pet sit again!”
“Thank you for coming to check on Walle on a short notice! It helps to give him some time while we are gone for a few days to have some human exposure. He's SO used to me being home ALL THE TIME, since I work from home. I didn't want him to get too depressed while his dog brother gets to hang with us in St.Louis. Thank you again for stopping by to check on my handsome barn cat prince!”
About: We've been taking care of select dogs for many years for friends and family, knowing that dog owners tend to worry about their pets when they're away and want someone who understands that and will care for their pets as they would. we've always had dogs until recently, I also photograph dogs for fun. We often board a dog who has seizures and requires medication and have watched other unusual dogs including puppies and dogs still healing from surgery. For many years we volunteered at the local humane society. We have a fenced in yard that our late beagle mix of 18 years regularly tried to escape and repeatedly failed. Dogs in our home are considered guests and are treated as such. I currently work from home, so letting dogs out regularly and giving regular attention is no problem at all. I'm done with work in the afternoon which leaves me plenty of time to get dogs out for exercise and socializing. Dorothy, my wife, also has plenty of daytime open for play time and extra loving. I work from home and regularly take play breaks, Dorothy, my wife is home most days and offers lots of love. We try to get to the dog park now and then on the weekends. We have a modest fenced in back yard with a wooded lot behind us, I walk dogs regularly in several areas. We keep also keep a toybox full of dog toys :-)
“Skylar is awesome and very kind I immediately felt comfortable & trust in her, which felt great as I can enjoy a much needed getaway! Skylar, handled things really well with both my cats and household. Apparently it didn’t take long for my cats to sense Skylar could be trusted and came out for her! I can’t express my gratitude enough to finally having someone like Skylar☺️ Thank you Rover for the connection with Skylar! Thank you Skylar for your compassion and your love for animals because Dusti & Graci knew it & I could see it!!”
“Rhonda was wonderful! I was so nervous about leaving my very shy rescue kitty, Buddha, with a sitter while I went on vacation. Rhonda took such good care of him! He was so comfortable that he eventually came out from under the bed and let her brush him. That was a first for him as he doesn't like strangers! Amazing! She sent photos daily, and I felt 100% confident that he was in the best hands with Rhonda. Buddha has a new friend and kitty sitter! I couldn't be happier and now know I can go on vacation with no worries. Thank you, Rhonda!”
About: I grew up playing with farm cats, and now I have my own orange cat that is indoor/outdoor when home, and once escaped while we were away from home - so I understand the terror that comes with a missing pet!! I’m very lucky he was found by a kind person.
“Toodles doesn’t feel very comfortable with many people, clearly Shana has the magic touch. After the first post I was able to relax and enjoy my time away! So reassuring and made me feel at ease knowing he was fine and well taken care of! Thank you Shana!”
“Cassidy was amazing with our 2 kitties! This was our first week away since we adopted them 2 years ago, and I was very nervous as I didn’t know how they would react. Cassidy was wonderful with keeping us updated with their care. Everything I requested, she took care of. She really put my mind at ease. We will definitely request her help again in the future :)”
“Julia did a great job. She met my kitties before her visit. She checked in and sent pics to show me how they’re doing. She also took the time to send a little update. She does a great job!”
About: ****Our family is growing June 2026. We will be taking a pause from watching our four-legged friends starting in June '26 and expect to resume services in September '26. May '26 bookings may be possible, and we will start considering bookings for September and beyond starting in August**** Together we both have extensive experience with dogs of all ages and types. We have experience raising puppies, including those being raised to be future service dogs. Additionally, we have experience working with special needs dogs that are blind or require daily insulin treatment. We currently have two dogs, a 5 year old black lab and a 2 year old golden retriever. Both are highly socialized and get along well with dogs of all sizes/personalities. Ochai is well-known at the Rib Mountain dog park as being one of the sweetest dogs to people and dogs alike. We both volunteer our time at the Humane Society of Marathon County. Furthering our experiences with dogs of many backgrounds and temperaments. You may see a featured adoptable dog that is currently at the shelter in our photos. This dog is one we personally think may be a great addition to a family, especially one that already has a dog! Sometimes we send our dogs to daycare so we can open up our home to a shelter dog for the day and give them the relaxing day they deserve so much. Of course, on the days we do this, we aren't available to offer daycare/boarding. If you have a HSMC graduate pup from May 2023 onward we would love to see our old friends again! Please let us know and we will offer a free day of boarding or daycare as a token of appreciation for adopting a HSMC pup! When we confirm a booking you should know that at least one of us will likely be with your dog at all times, day or night. We both work from home quite often and before confirming a reservation we will check/adjust our schedules to make sure someone is going to be home during the day. It is important to your pup's experience and safety that someone is watching them at all times. NEW! Tractive GPS Tracking The safety and wellbeing of your dog is always important to us and we know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet behind. That is why we have added a GPS tracker to utilize. Not only will your furry loved one's location always be known at any given second, but we can also track their health to make sure they are doing well during their stay. -We currently only have one device, so it is not a guarantee your dog will be utilizing it during their stay. If you would like to guarantee it for your pup during their stay, we can accommodate these types of requests at the time of booking for $5/night or $25/stay. -We can share access to the tracker so you can know your pups location at any time and can check in on their health. It will show various information like their sleep activity and exercise information. This is only available if you reserve the tracker ahead of their stay. ---NEW! We are now privately insured outside of Rover. This allows additional and even more comprehensive coverage for your pup while they stay with us. Through PSA we are able to offer up to $2,500 in deductible free veterinary care if your pup gets hurt/ill.--- Our house features a spacious half acre yard that is fully fenced in. You will get plenty of pictures and updates of your pup under our care. Please let us know the frequency of pictures/updates you would like and we will be happy to show you how your pup is doing. If the weather is nice, I will try to get outside and take some pictures with an actual camera for you to enjoy. Our goal is to provide quality care and take care of your pup just as much as we do our own. We love helping people and having them know their pup is being well cared for when you can't be with them.
“Lindsey was awesome once again! Our dog Ellie was being a little shy/timid this time but Lindsey sent us updates along the way and seemed to have won Ellie over by the end of the stay.”
“I highly recommend Ashley, she took excellent care of our two kitties showing her experience, knowledge, and love for animals. She took the time to meet us, making sure she understood all my instructions while also getting to know our kitties and what makes them feel comfortable. She is a great communicator and gave us consistent updates with lots of pics. The level of care she showed became obvious when we were met by two calm, happy kitties.”

“Randee was so accommodating. He has a nice area for any dog to get there exercise and sunbathe. Tonka was certainly tired when he came home. We’ll definitely be asking Randee for another play date!”

“We immediately felt comfortable leaving Quito at Nick and Dorothy's despite never having used Rover before. They were responsive, quick to provide photos of our pup, and were very, clearly "dog people." 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I've taking care of dog for a year plus now. My friends and family trust and relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and have their pets stay overnight at my house. My house is especially a good environment for dog because my yard is fenced and the dog have their own furniture and their own room. I'm currently a stay at home dog mom and a bake at home so I have plenty of time to play and walk your pet which I love doing. My yard is fenced and I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company while he/she is here. I have plenty of toys and treats available for the dogs as well.
About: Having grown up on a farm, I have been around dogs and other animals all of my life. I love all animals and have a special fondness for dogs. I will treat your dog like my own. Please let me know about any special needs your dog has, from dietary restrictions to behavioral concerns-I am very accommodating and will do my best to make the transition from your house to mine as seamless as possible and would like your help in understanding how best to do that for your dog. Please include the following in your care instructions and/or inquiry if they apply: - Food or environmental allergies - Toy or treat restrictions - Any history of destructive behavior - Any history of reactivity (such as barking/lunging on leash, guarding food or toys, or uncontrollable excitement) towards other animals or humans - Any history of separation anxiety - Any other special needs, likes or dislikes that I should be aware of I work from home much of the time during the week so am available for doggy daycare or boarding often during the week in addition to weekends. I am able to crate your pet if that is what they are used to for during the night. Please bring their crate with you and any other items they feel comfortable with while crated.
About: I have owned horses and dogs my whole life and have a love for animals. I have been watching family friend’s dogs for years and I wanted to get more into pet sitting/walking! I also volunteered at the humane society all throughout college so I have a lot of experience with cats of all personalities as well as dogs that may be shy or have triggers. I currently work from home 3 out of the 5 days which makes it easy for me to pet sit during the week and ensuring full care!! I also work 7 am to 3:15 pm so I have all afternoon to do any dog walks and check ins! At my home I have room for a crate if needed. I also have a long leash for going potty outside along with leashes to go for many walks!

I also won't shy away from cleaning up after your pets and will adhere to specified household rules. Boarding is available on a case-by-case basis, as I only board one family pet(s) at a time. Because of the cats that I have, boarding is done in a separate living space away from the house. It's fully furnished, has heat and air conditioning, and is about the size of a studio apartment. I also live on 80 acres with plenty of walking trails in the woods, well-managed fields, and even a small pond. I will be with your pets the entire duration of their stay and will get them out multiple times during the day! If you request that I take them out on the walking trails, I do ask that your pets have tick medication on them.

My goal is for every pet to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. 🐾💛
“I needed someone to walk my dog on very short notice. Kayla said she was available and within the hour she had my dog on a walk. When they returned, it was clear that my dog enjoyed her walk and was comfortable with Kayla, so now she'll be walking her twice a week for me. I'd definitely recommend her to others looking for a dog walker!”

About: Hello all! I have been on Rover for almost 7 years now and have loved every minute of it! Rover is basically a second job to me because I am so booked with furry clients! I do work full time at a hospital 35 minutes from home (3 12’s a week). This means my availability will be slim, but please still shoot me a message to see if we can make something work, even if it’s a doggy play date! I know how busy life gets, but I promise to love your furry friends as I love mine! I know the importance of taking care of a dog, because it is such a huge responsibility, being a dog owner myself. As busy people, we have family, friends, and social life. Whereas dogs only have us. They deserve all of the time, love, and affection that we can give them. All dogs deserve to be loved and taken care of properly, and that is something that not all people can do! That is why I am here to help. I do better with drop in visits and dog walking at this moment. Occasionally, a weekend spent in the comfort of the pup’s home! Feel free to shoot me a message to work something out! I send hourly updates, if not more. I also will not watch a pet until I’ve interacted with them positively. I like to know the outlay of your home so I can make your pet as comfortable as possible!

“Hannah is the perfect sitter for our dog, whether we need to leave him for a long day or a longer than 2 week period. She clearly has a good understanding of animals in general, creating a calm but stimulating environment, making our pet feel secure and happy. We feel fortunate to have found Hannah as our dog’s home away from home when we can’t take him with us.”
“She has a great setup for dogs. Country setting and plenty of room. Very accomodating in the care of Holly. Holly was able to stay outdoors in the shade or sun and come inside at night. Thank you.”
“Solia and Mike were great care givers for Kona. It was comforting to have a knowledgeable Vet Tech in charge while we were away. Thank you Solia and thanks for keeping us updated with photos while we were gone.”
“Brooke was OUTSTANDING with our pup! Daily updates with pictures, tons of lovings and cuddles, and plenty of walks while we were away. We brought home one very happy boy! I highly recommend her when you're in need of the best out there to take care of your fur baby!”
“Goose was so happy staying with Leora. I was in town for business before heading to Carbondale to attend a memorial for my brother who passed in March. While I’ve had to work Goose stayed for both boarding and day care. He was happy to see me and happy to go back. I recommend Leora”
About: Hello! My name is Elicia and I have been around animals my entire life. I currently have 3 dogs (4 including my husband 😂) Doug, Cooper and Nala. I love to spend time with animals, and know the struggle of finding someone trust worthy to take care of your kids! I have great references, and am pretty flexible when it comes to the needs and care of you and your pets. I promise to love on them and treat them as if they were my own, no matter how big or how small! I am also open to discussing payment options as well - I am here to work with you and your babies! Looking forward to chatting with you! I have a full time job, 7a-4p Monday - Friday in Wausau. I have the option to work from home 1 day a week if needed, but cannot work from home on Mondays or Fridays. If you’re located close enough to my employer I can let your pets out at lunch! I currently have no restrictions when it comes to caring for pets. I have cared for puppies all the way to elderly dogs. I have no allergies, so nothing to worry about there! I can take them for walks, to the dog park, and am willing to do everything I can to keep them on their schedule and stress free!
