“Edith is the sweetest dog lover out there. My dog was so happy when I picked him up and could tell he was well loved and cared for. I will be booking with Edith anytime I need in the future!”

“Our 2 dogs stayed at Sarah's for about a week earlier this month. The stay was great! We got daily updates, including photos and videos. They have a fantastic large fenced in yard where they could safety run and play. They had lots of playtime, but also lots of snuggles and love. They were both clearly enjoying their own vacation at Sarah's while we were gone on ours. It was so refreshing to know they were so well cared for while we were away- we have already rebooked them for our next trip!”

“Rona took excellent care of our high energy dog! He absolutely loved getting to explore and sniff around her spacious backyard, and he was very exhausted when we picked him up. We appreciated her daily updates and pics/videos. This was our first time having Rona take care of our dog, and we would happily book with her again.”

“My 4 legged member of the family had the blessing of spending the weekend with Stephanie. She kept me updated on his stay with videos and pictures. He went for walks and played in their backyard.”

“Pretzel has a great 2 week stay. Duane& Lauren took great care of him and he has lots of playtime and walks to keep him busy. Their place is warm and cozy even in the cold winter!”

“Kevin had a great time! This was the first time he stayed over night without us and he did great. Kevin had another dog to play with and I don't think he missed us (well not too much anyway). I would definitely use Val again and recommend him highly.”

“Amanda was wonderful! She sent videos and pictures of Cece the entire time we were gone. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone and plan to use her again in the future!”

“Paula went above for my senior dog. She even slept on the couch with her when she wouldn’t sleep in her crate! I’d definitely have her watch daisy again, maybe not overnight next time though ??”


“Jesse was great! He provided boarding for our dog. He responded quickly to my request for booking, we met the next morning at a dog park so my dog could get to know his dog, and he was very flexible with scheduling drop off and pick up. He sent us a bunch of pictures and videos of our dog while we were away. I would certainly recommend Jesse if you're looking for help taking care of your dog.”
“We left our dog Toffee with Jenny and her family for 5 days while we attended a work conference, and we could not have asked for a better experience! This was our first time using Rover and leaving Toffee with someone we didn’t know, so we were definitely nervous at first. Jenny immediately made us feel comfortable with constant updates, pictures, and videos throughout the entire stay. Toffee had the absolute best time running around in her huge backyard, playing with her kids and her two dogs, and getting so much love and attention. It truly felt like he was treated as part of their family. You can tell Jenny genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing Toffee was happy, safe, and so well cared for. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be booking with Jenny and her lovely family again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Tony has watched Dessie well over a dozen times in the past year and a half. Though she is typically quite nervous around other humans as a rescue, it’s clear that Tony has earned her love and affection. She has a great time playing with all the other dogs and I love getting photos of her every day while I’m away. Tony is extremely reliable and my go-to whenever I need someone to watch my precious girl.”

“Emma was a great sitter during our weekend away! She sent tons of great pictures, took Tico for a walks and best of all, her dogs and Tico loved each other and played all weekend. He was exhausted when he got home. Happy dog, happy us! Thanks Emma!”

“Stephanie was an amazing sitter. She messaged me daily with pictures too. Walks, playtime and belly rubs were a daily occurrence with Mack. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come back home. 😊”

“This was the 2nd time Katie and Samuel’s family took care of Jarvis while we were away. We were very excited when they were available for these dates because Jarvis had a great time with them the first time. They did such an amazing job with him again and it really seemed like Jarvis felt right a home. They always send frequent updates and pictures which is really appreciated :)”

“Erik and his family are the rare sitters that my boys actually enjoy. Upon arriving for their second stay, the boys were off, happily exploring and settling in. They usually have separation anxiety with any sitter, even in my home. It was such a relief that they didn't follow me to the door. I could tell from the photos and videos during their stay and at pick up that they were genuinely happy. It means so much that I know that my little guys are truly cared for! As a single dog mom, dog sitting eats into my budget, but a great experience is a worthy investment in their long-term well being.”

“Cleda was great! My dog looked so happy in every photo, and Cleda made everything super seamless and stress-free. Definitely going to use her again in the future!”

“Christina was amazing!!! Offered for us to come take a look at her place before the boarding!! Was very flexible with drop off/pickup!! Made sure to ask questions about sky and her needs to make her as comfortable as possible!! Sent lots of pictures and updates and did was great about making sure sky was eating!”

“Chelsea has been wonderful at checking in on our cat, Blue! We can always tell Blue was well taken care of when we get home. Chelsea is kind, reliable, and sends thoughtful descriptions of her visits with plenty of photos :) We definitely recommend her!!”

“Amanda was great to work with and took excellent care of our two cats. One of our cats is diabetic, and she had no issues administering his insulin. Our other cat is very shy, but by the end of Amanda's visits, she had even come out to see her. We will definitely trust Amanda with our cats again in the future.”


“Heather did a wonderful job with her drops in visits with my cat, Benny. She was very attentive at the meet and greet and provided awesome updates throughout her visits.”


“Krista did such a great job watching our cats and keeping us updated during a longer trip away from home. Our cats seemed to really like her based on photos we were sent and daily updates!”

“Tonisha took great care of our kitties while we were on vacation! We really appreciated the photos and videos she sent every day. We would love to have her sit for us again in the future!”


“Megan is the best!! She was very flexible when our kept changing and was always willing to work with what we needed! She provides the best cards and pictures of our girl and I know she is in the best hands with her.”


“Darby did a great job with our cats! She was confident and asked great questions at our meet and greet. Our boys felt comfortable and she was able to pill our tricky cat. Darby has great attention to detail and really cares about the boys and building a positive relationship with them. It is clear that she really cares about her work and care for the animals. We are so fortunate to have found Darby! Thank you Darby!”

“We continue to book Claire each time we need a sitter. With Claire caring for our 4 cats, we can have a stress-free time away from home knowing our family is in good hands. Two of our cats get medication twice daily, and all of them have more complicated diets than scoops of kibble in a dish. We appreciate the time and care Claire puts into each visit to ensure our cats' needs are met and then goes above expectations to give them all attention and play time. She is also a great cat photographer!”


“Where do I begin?! I'm so very happy to have found Adrianna on Rover! She is very professional and a true animal lover. My cat, Hannah (who is an excellent judge of character), warmed up to her right away. I will definitely book Adrianna again!”

“Cassandra was great to have!! She took a somewhat late holiday booking and we so appreciate her help with our Peach. She can be pretty nervous and apprehensive and Cassandra gave her the space that she needed.”


“Katelyn took great care of my cat and made sure she got lots of playtime and attention. She was also able to be flexible when our travel plans changed last minute.”

“Sydney was great—very helpful, communicative, and professional. Would love to book her again; the whole process was painless and I never felt anything less than confidence and trust.”


“Kathryn did an amazing job caring for my grumpy old cat, Rumor. He doesn't usually like strangers, but she got him to play with toys and always spent time with him. I felt better knowing that she was checking in on him everyday!”


“This was my first time using Rover and Jennifer was fabulous ❤️ Her updates and photos she provided each day brought me total peace of mind! My cat got into something she shouldn't have and Jennifer let me know right away and kept me updated about the situation as the days progressed. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Hi Elizabeth, I just wanted to say thank you for taking such great care of Fox! I really appreciated the updates while I was away. It’s clear you gave her lots of attention and care, and I could tell she was happy and comfortable with you. I’d absolutely trust you again and would happily recommend you to others. Thanks again!”
“Ben and Kassy were awesome! My dog DouDou was only 8 months old and very nervous and shy and we booked a daycare first to let him get along with them and make new friends. They try their best to help familiarize him with their place, and their dogs. I can tell they love dogs a lot!”

“Tony watched my dogs for a couple days in a row and he was great! He is very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the day. Will definitely request services through him again in the future.”

“Eric and Rachel took such good care of my little girl! They helped her feel comfortable and provided great pictures and updates throughout the day. So grateful for their compassion and caring personalities!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and have always had one. I know the dedication and time it takes to give dogs the care and attention they need. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets’ care while they were on trips and I have always found it enjoyable and rewarding. I am currently in grad school and so have flexibility for walks and drop ins! If your pup is comfortable with other dogs, I am happy to welcome them here. We have an extra bed and plenty of toys to share! I have evenings and weekends free, so I am available to play and walk after 4:30pm and on weekends! I have the availability to stop home during my day to let pups out for potty and a play break! I have a pup of my own so your dog will always have company. If necessary, I have a crate that your dog can use to keep them safe. I also have plenty of toys to share :)
About: I work remotely and have a fenced in yard so I’m able to look after and hang out with your dog throughout the day. My dog, Milo, is a pup who is the chillest pup I’ve ever met but also loves to play with other dogs and say hi to strangers. I make an effort to make sure owners pets stick to their schedules and I enjoy the active time with them too. I work from home allowing me to watch over pets throughout the day and ensure they have enough outside time and whatever else they may need. I try to stick to owners house rules and routines. I’m an early bird allowing for morning time to get energy out and for pets to start their day with me.
“Emma was super sweet and I could immediately see that she was a dog person. She took great care of our dog and we felt assured that he would be safe and well taken care of. Highly recommend for the Madison area!”

“Manuela was great with our dog and I know our dog loved spending time with her! I was nervous to leave our dog with a new person at first, but Manuela met us beforehand and made sure we were comfortable. I would definitely recommend Manuela to anyone looking for care for their pet! She treats pets as if they were her own!”

“Julie has taken great care of Arnie! He loves to play with Zilla and hang out in the yard. We will definitely bring him to Julie for more daycare in the future!”

“Edith is your dream sitter. She posts daily photos and updates of your pet. She obviously loves what she does. She is a lovely soul and my Mimi, who can be shy, had her tail up in the photos which made me feel reassured that she was in a safe, loving environment.”

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.
“Wolfy had such a great day with Mary and her family. He can back very happy, and Mary sent several lovely photos of his time. Mary was also flexible with me when my plans changed after booking, which was so appreciated.”
About: I try to provide training for your dog using simple commands and treats. I have a corgy. He likes eating poop, so I am firm with him but lovely. I believe I take my time to rub his belly or play with my dog before feeding him or going for a walk. I always keep treats and bags. I currently have a job from home, with a flexible schedule. I always go outside for walk 10 to 20 minutes o play with tennis ball. I used to go outside 2 or 3 times a day. In the morning the firts walk is longer. I have many different toys and a medium-sized blanket if he needs to rest. They can also go on my couch. If he needs more privacy, I have a big cage with blankets and pillows. I live in an apartment with 2 beds to a bath.
“Grace was great to work with! She was very quick to respond and provided me with the peace of mind that my dog was well taken care of. Highly recommend Grace to anyone in the Madison area!”

“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!”

About: I am a huge dog lover. I love all kinds of dogs and have grown up with all different kinds of dogs of varying size and temperment. My family has had 2 havanese dogs and 2 newfoundlands so I have experience with a variety of sizes. Recently, I lost my soul dog, Max. Max was a shepherd mix and was my whole world. My husband and I had Max since he was a puppy and are looking to get our dog fix by helping out others. We understand the stress finding care for your dog can create, and we would love to help provide a safe and fun environment for your dog when you need it. We have a large yard (unfenced) and safe neighborhood for walks. We also have 2 children, aged 5 and 3. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available most of the time from home any given week. I have 2 children, aged 5 and 3, and they would love to help care for and love on a doggy. I have a large, unfenced yard in a quiet, safe, and dog friendly neighborhood. Our dog Max was always free to run around the yard without any issues. Dogs are allowed inside, on our furniture and I still have Max’s dog bed for use as well. I am also happy to pop in by your house to walk your dog if that’s needed.

About: I've always had pet dogs and cats since childhood. At this time my husband and I are unable to have a pet of our own, but I frequently house sit and watch pets for friends and family. I work as a school counselor, so I have plenty of availability during the summer to care for your fur-buddies! I am energetic and enjoy playing with excited animal friends, and I also hold firm boundaries and can support your training. I work at a school, so I have plenty of time over the summer to love and care for your pets! I teach summer school from eight to noon a few weeks over the summer, and I also teach occasional yoga classes, but besides those commitments, my time belongs to the fur-babies! I am very energetic and happy to go for long walks or play with dogs to tire them out! I am also clean and detail-oriented so I will take good care of your home if you are away. During the school year I work as a school counselor so I value service to others, honesty, integrity, and sharing joy and kindness.
“Mary was amazing to work with. She was very gracious about our last minute need, and wonderful with our dog Toliver. He really enjoyed their walks, and I felt like he was in great hands. I would book with Mary again in a heartbeat.”

About: I’m all of my friends and families first choice to watch their pets when they are out of town. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds of dogs and many cats as well. I’ve always had dogs in my life growing up so I’m very familiar with reading their body language and knowing how to care for them. I work full time but have a lot of flexibility to check on your pet throughout the day and have the opportunity to work remote as well I’ve never a met a pet that didn’t like me. I’m very good at reading dogs body langue and knowing what they need. Cats also like me and I’m good at reading their body language as well
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals. Spending time with pets is truly one of my favorite things, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality, whether that means playing with an energetic dog, giving extra attention to a cuddly cat, or providing gentle companionship to a senior pet. I believe pets thrive when they feel loved, comfortable, and understood, so I focus on building trust and creating a positive experience for them while you're away. Being around animals brings me so much joy, and I take pride in making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. You can count on me to provide plenty of affection, attention, and personalized care, along with regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands. I am currently a nursing student at UW Madison and have time throughout both the week and weekend to spend time with your pet! Typically earlier or later in the day is best for me but I am able to be flexible. I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and at ease — feeding them on schedule, going on walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from their owner. I spend a lot of time giving attention and affection, whether that’s active play for energetic pets or calm companionship for seniors or more relaxed animals. I always try to make them feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also send updates so you know how they’re doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Tofu has such a great time when Kathryn walks her! Kathryn is flexible and we always feel like Tofu is getting the same level of attention and care that we give her! Will definitely book again in the future”

About: What sets me apart is my dependable, loving care. I treat every dog like family, giving patient attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of love. I work mornings in retail, finish later in the afternoon so I am free later in the day. I enjoy being active, but always plan my schedule around pets to ensure consistent, loving care. I adapt to each pets needs. I grew up with cats and dogs, and provide walks, cuddles, space if needed, plus updates, photos, and lots of love, care, and attention.
“Jamie is awesome! She went above and beyond our expectations while taking care of our boys!! She is very professional and took the time to meet the boys before our scheduled dates with her. We got great pictures from her!! We will definitely be using her again”


“So very happy with walks with Carley. She is solid, confident, relaxed and positive. I have a dog who can be challenging (reactive) and she is more than up to the task!”


“Erika is great! She was very prompt in replying to my inquiry and very accommodating for a day visit on Thanksgiving! Lucy took to her right away! It was welcoming to know Lucy was in good hands and was calm and relaxed when I returned. We're looking forward to having Erika come again!!”

About: I've been a devoted cat and dog owner for more than 20 years and have cared for pets through every stage of life—from energetic puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats with changing needs. I'm comfortable with large dogs and understand the patience, consistency, and attentiveness they require. What truly sets me apart is my reliability and respect. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets and your home in someone else's care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I'll care for your pets as if they were my own, providing plenty of affection, exercise, and companionship while keeping you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. Because I currently work part-time and complete remote projects, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, and overnight care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and love getting outside for walks, so caring for pets is something I look forward to—not something I try to squeeze into a busy schedule. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and bedtime routines. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I do not offer boarding in my home because I have a guardian dog who prefers not to share his space with other dogs. By caring for pets in their own homes, I'm able to give them my full attention while keeping them comfortable in the place they know best. I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect that I would my own. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Ben was great with my large standard poodles. He did a previsit and asked a lot of good questions. He knew how to slowly earn their trust. Ben sent pictures and updates from each visit. He also administered medication. We will definitely have him care for them again.”

“Kelsey took our dog Pivo in a walk and we could tell by the picture she sent that he loved it. Kelsey was very nice and very punctual with the scheduled walk time. We would definitely ask her again.”

About: I always had a dog. The house isn’t a home if you don’t have a dog. Family brings there dog over. Every one gets along I’m working part time . Will have time to play and walk your dog. I care for dogs. I have a dog name Louie. We’re always outside I have a big fenced in yard . I have a dog so my house is dog proof. I have a one story house on a quiet street.
About: I have cared for pets of all ages and types for many years, as well as been a pet owner and foster mom for many years. Dogs, cats, rabbits, hampsters, birds, chickens, fish, lizards etc. My family and friends have trusted me to care for, walk, feed, bathe, administer medications and give all the love and snuggles to their animal family members when they are away. I work part time and remote, so I have the flexibility to give all your pets the time, attention and love you need for them. I have a bit of a zoo at my house, so I am more than happy to care for your pets at your residence at this time.
About: I have done petsitting (cats and dogs) for over 15 years. Usually for animals where I personally know the owners and have spent time with the animal to create a bond/relationship. I want to full disclose with new perspective pets parents: I have a full time, in-office job with the standard business hours, Monday through Friday. If that's not what you are looking for in a house sitter, I understand. If I had a pet of my own, I would ensure all their needs are met. As a petsitter, I would to ensure their animal's life doesn't change or I could make it better in some small way especially since their parent(s) is gone I stay at the animal's home to care for them so their life isn't different than what it usually is for them. Changing their environment can be quite shocking and stressful to them. I try not change their lifestyle too much while the parent is gone
