“Is very flexible and was available when needed! We loved getting the pictures and updates on vacation. It gave us peace of mind that Remi was doing great while we were away.”
“Chelsea and her family took such great care of our two pups while we were away! We enjoyed the daily updates and pictures she sent us. We would definitely book again with Chelsea!”
“Lisa gave our coco excellent care over the weekend. She sent us updated photos as to how coco was doing during her stay with them. Coco had a blast!! Thank you Lisa for creating a safe, super fun weekend for our little coco. Coco can not wait to start doggy daycare by Lisa too!! If there were more than 5 stars I’d give them all to this pet sitter❤️❤️❤️”
“Rachel was amazing! I was a little worried because I had to leave Dakota for so long - a little over a week - and he is still a puppy. But she was fantastic! He was well taken care of and happy.”
“I've never taken my dog to a sitter ever. Frank got recommended to us by another Rover user, so we did a meet and greet and I felt completely comfortable with the care my dog was going to receive. My sweet girl is a senior with some special needs and she was loved and cared for in the best way possible. I was able to enjoy my trip without the nagging worry that my fur baby was going to be unhappy. We were so comfortable with the care she received that we booked again for a shorter stay soon after.”
“Lucy loved the stay at Don’s house. He was very accommodating to our energetic pup who loved to run in his fenced back yard. We received photos and updates throughout the stay that showed Lucy was being loved and cared for the same as if she were at home. When I picked Lucy up she was excited to see me but was not anxious to leave lol!! I would highly recommend Don and his adorable dog Billie to anyone looking for a caring, responsible pet sitter. Lucy hopes to go back soon!!”
“Sadie’s was a great pet caregiver to our 4 month old puppy. This was the first time we left him with someone for a few days, and, he loved it! She shared pictures throughout his stay of his playtime and nap time. He was a tired puppy when he came home. He will visit with her again!”
“Maria’s house was perfect for my dog Tasha because Tasha HATES other animals and Maria doesn’t have any pets. Tasha was pampered, and Maria sent me some really adorable pictures of her while I was out of town. Then, when my plane was extremely delayed on my way home, Maria stayed up to past midnight so I could pick Tasha up before heading home. I was so appreciative. 10 stars!”
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 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!
“I was super impressed with the care our Bernese Mountain Dog Bailey was given during her stay with Bobbie. Starting with the great communication and quick responses to the photos she sent during her stay down to the treats Bobbie sent home for Bailey after her stay. I could tell Bobbie loved having our Bailey stay with her and that Bailey was happy staying with Bobbie and her family. The twice daily updates while we were gone definitely put our mind at ease and could tell she was happy and having a good time through all the photos that were sent. We will definitely be using Bobbie again.”
“It was our first time using Rovers and leaving our dog, PJ, with someone who was not family. Mark and Susan were great with her and provided us updates over the weekend while away. Appreciated them having a meet & greet prior to us leaving her for the weekend. PJ got lots of walks and attention and was very content under their care. Overall, a great first experience. We will definitely reach out to them in the future when are in need of care for PJ.”
“Once again Jessica and Chase took great care of our puppy! I feel so comfortable leaving her with them overnight, and I get pictures and updates of her stay with them for a peace of mind. Great people!”
“Kristina is so great with our puppy, Olive! We were nervous about leaving Olive with someone new since she’s still pretty young, but right away we felt at ease with Kristina and it was evident that Olive absolutely adored her! We’ve now booked Kristina twice and will continue to do so - our pup loves playing at Kristina’s and comes home tired and happy!”
“Korri and James place is Mica’s home away from home. Thank you both for loving Mica and giving us peace of mind when we’re away. There is no one else I’d trust with Mica. Appreciate you!”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”

“We used Lisa for drop in care while camping and she took amazing care of our rabbit and sent tons of photos to ease our minds while gone. She kept his pen nice and tidy and gave him free roam time so he could stretch his legs. We’d definitely use Lisa again and recommend her for anyone looking for a bunny sitter!”
“Tiffani has been fantastic with the cats in her care. She takes excellent care of the animals and they warmed up to her right away! I will always rebook with her as the need arises. Thank you Tiffani!!!”
“Ella was amazing watching our kitties while we were gone! She had great communication and sent us multiple pictures everyday to check in! She is very kind and even got our very shy kitty to open up to her! We will absolutely book with her again and I will recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter!”
“Rachel is the best sitter ever! One of my us is a VERY fearful dog and she worked with him until he was comfortable with her. Plus made all the visits and took so very good care of my pets through this terrible ice, snow, and single digits crazy weather in (along with the electricity going on and off) nashvile had this year over Christmas!! I was so fearful about leaving my pups to go on our out of state trip and she ended up being a lifesaver!!! Thank you Rachel you are truly the best!!!!”
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!
“Grim and Mathieu were happy and healthy when I returned! I appreciated Debbie's heads up about a few things she noticed during her visits as well as her notes about how they were doing. I would definitely book her again!”
“Katie was excellent. We had a short meet and greet before our booking. She provided updates during her visits and had great communication with us the entire time. Ozzy really loved his time with her.”
“Very prompt and punctual. She hung out with my dog, Willow, and even made a pile of sticks for her in the yard (her favorite things in the world are her sticks). Lots of photos and videos of their time together were appreciated”
“Laura was absolutely incredible! She treated my animals like her own, followed my instructions to a T (because one of my cats takes meds), used the Rover card daily with detailed updates and plenty of cute photos, and showed my cats plenty of love when I was away and unable to. She was phenomenal and I will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
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.
About: Love for animals! I believe animals should be treated with kindness, respect and love. I have raised, taken care of and babysat dogs, cats and other animals since I was young plus have been blessed with a variety of furbabies over the years. I am very patient and understand that each person/animal has their own way and schedule that I’m more then willing to learn. I would be very happy to spend time with your furbaby/furbabies playing, cuddling, feeding and/or walking... I don’t mind doing last minute appointments, helping with vacations or even just being someone’s back up person. We all need a little extra help once in a while. I have a lot of experience with cats also and would be more than willing to come to your house to feed, brush, clean the litter and play, to give them exercise. Same with birds or any small animals. Thank you for reading and I hope to meet your furbaby someday soon!!
About: Practically my whole life I've taken care of kitties. I've had 8 cats total in my lifetime, each of them living long lasting lives. Currently 4 of those 8 are still alive and healthy! I have two senior cats, both 15, and 2 younger cats, one 8 and one 2, all female. I know how to give oral medication, and you can guide me through injections if needed. I've cleaned plenty of litter boxes in my life too. I currently occasionally care for my neighbors kitties when they go out of town since I'm always around so often. You'll never have to worry about your cats when I'm taking care of them! I'll send you plenty of photos and videos too.
“Emily was outstanding! She completed several early morning drop-ins for our cats over the holiday period with no problem. We had somewhat specific instructions and Emily was able to complete everything with ease. Through the photos and updates Emily provided daily, it was evident our two cats were very comfortable with Emily and enjoyed her company. When the need arises for future drop-ins, we will definitely book with Emily again!!”
“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. ❤️”
About: I’m reliable and know how much you love your animals just like I do. I will take care of your animals like they are my own.

“Blue had another fun day spending the afternoon with Emma and her dog Lola. Nice to have a welcoming environment for Blue when we can’t take her with us to some events. 😀”
“Highly recommend Chelsea! She was very easy to communicate with and was able to take Voss on short notice when we had to be in town unexpectedly. My dog had a fun day playing with her dogs in the fenced back yard and house. She even trimmed his nails for us which was really great. We’ll be back if we need care in Oshkosh again!”

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: Hello! My name is Sadie. I’m a board certified behavior analyst who works with children on the Autism Spectrum. I have a soft spot in my heart for all animals- I was that child that stepped over ants to avoid squishing them. I grew up with a Springer Spaniel, cats, and a rabbit (: I currently have 3 cats, Nimi, Gizmo, Figarro, and a dog named Perci. Additionally, I have experience caring for ferrets, goats, sheep, and fish. I’ll treat your animals as my own, and show them endless love and care. I’m super excited to meet you and your animals! I currently work full time M-F, but do make my own schedule. I see a lot of my clients either before or after work. I also have weekends off! Meet and greets are important to me for boarding to ensure it’s a good fit for your dog. However, I understand if it is not feasible. I have a dog and 3 cats who are free to roam the house and are allowed on furniture. My dog sleeps with me so yours is more than welcome to join the snuggle party! I also have a daughter (3 years old) who loves her animals, so your fur baby will get lots of love from all of us.
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.
“I would highly recommend Frank And Julie as your next Dog Sitters. After being referred to them, when I reached out, I had let Frank know I was having a hard time locating them in the Rover app. He went out of his way to help me get things going. Once we were able to set up a time for an initial meet and greet, due to a really bad storm that was rolling in, they were flexible with changing the time for us. That’s when we got to see the fantastic location (their house and property), where they take care of the dogs. While we were getting to know them, they were getting to know our dogs, and asked lots of great questions to make sure they understood how we approach our pups. In addition to their fenced in yard, they have acres and acres of land and are very happy to take dogs out for walks to let them burn their energy. A couple days later, our dog spent the day with them and everything went really really well, and our dogs were so very tired out when we got them back. We even got lots of pictures while we were gone for the day which we really appreciated. Frankie and Julie really understand what it is to be a pet owner and strive to treat our dogs as their own. Again, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for day-to-day dog sitting, and we are looking forward to using them for an upcoming vacation.”
“Bobbie and Clark have watched our rescues a couple of times now, and seemed happy to see them again. Our most sensitive hesitant dog tried to follow Bonnie back the house when it was time to come home! Feel relieved to have them available to watch our loved ones when we can’t be home.”
“Kota was great with our pup Amelia. We hadn’t ever had anyone else watch her and kota definitely put my mind at ease by sending lots of pictures and updates. We aren’t from the area but if we are ever back we would definitely have her watch Amelia again. Also love that she has a fully fenced yard, huge plus and add more peace of mind.”
“This was a last minute need so it was great he could watch Cody with very short notice. Cody is an older dog and does not take change well, so it was fantastic he was excited to return the next day which means Cody really enjoyed his stay. Great care and communication! Cody was all smiles!”
“My Jojo loved her stay with Maria today! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. I appreciated all the timely communication- even before we arrived. Amazing service. Thank you so much!”

“Alyssa was great to work with. Great communication, was easy to schedule a meet and greet with, and everything went fantastic on the actual walk. She followed instructions, took lots of photos, and my dog seems to have enjoyed himself! Would definitely book again.”

“Chelsea and her family took such great care of our two pups while we were away! We enjoyed the daily updates and pictures she sent us. We would definitely book again with Chelsea!”
“Lisa gave our coco excellent care over the weekend. She sent us updated photos as to how coco was doing during her stay with them. Coco had a blast!! Thank you Lisa for creating a safe, super fun weekend for our little coco. Coco can not wait to start doggy daycare by Lisa too!! If there were more than 5 stars I’d give them all to this pet sitter❤️❤️❤️”
“I've never taken my dog to a sitter ever. Frank got recommended to us by another Rover user, so we did a meet and greet and I felt completely comfortable with the care my dog was going to receive. My sweet girl is a senior with some special needs and she was loved and cared for in the best way possible. I was able to enjoy my trip without the nagging worry that my fur baby was going to be unhappy. We were so comfortable with the care she received that we booked again for a shorter stay soon after.”
“Lucy loved the stay at Don’s house. He was very accommodating to our energetic pup who loved to run in his fenced back yard. We received photos and updates throughout the stay that showed Lucy was being loved and cared for the same as if she were at home. When I picked Lucy up she was excited to see me but was not anxious to leave lol!! I would highly recommend Don and his adorable dog Billie to anyone looking for a caring, responsible pet sitter. Lucy hopes to go back soon!!”
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. From energetic dogs to cuddly cats and senior pets needing extra attention, I provide personalized care for every animal I meet. 🐾❤️ I’m currently working part time as a server at a restaurant and the shift are very short 4-5 hours. 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!
“Korri and James place is Mica’s home away from home. Thank you both for loving Mica and giving us peace of mind when we’re away. There is no one else I’d trust with Mica. Appreciate you!”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
About: My love and compassion for animals is what sets me apart from other dog sitters. From little on I have always had a pet to now having two very spoiled dogs of my own. I have worked with pets from all different sizes and ages. Pet care in my daily schedule is a priorty. Having two dogs of my own I know how important it is for them to exercise, whether it be going to the dog park, a walk in the neighborhood or playing in the backyard I will make sure your pets needs are met! As a dedicated dog sitter, I go above and beyond to provide personalized care tailored to your dog’s unique needs and personality. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and my commitment to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for your furry friend.

Whether it’s extra cuddles, a favorite toy, or a specific routine, I ensure your pet feels right at home, even when you’re away. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities!
“Kota took on my 13 week old puppy and I am so pleased with how well my puppy did at her home! Kota snuggled and loved and cared for her like she was her own! She communicated daily and sent the cutest pictures! I give my highest recommendation to her! So much better than a kennel when you need boarding! Your pet will be welcomed into their home and treated like a family member!”
“Nikki went above and beyond watching our dog this weekend! You can tell she genuinely cares for animals and was great at communicating and provided lots of updates and pictures along the way! We felt comfortable and safe out of town knowing our dog was in great care and having fun with Nikki and her dog, Nelson. We would definitely book with Nikki again in the future!”
“Amazing Dog Sitter! We were extremely impressed with the care of our dog, Karma from Dennis! Leaving your beloved pet with someone new can be nerve racking but Dennis immediately put our minds at ease! He took such wonderful care of our dog, made sure he got plenty of walks and exercise, and regularly sent photos and videos that truly brightened our days. It was obvious that our dog was happy, relaxed and having so much fun while we were away. He was having his own little vacation! Knowing he was in such caring and capable hands gave us so much peace of mind. Dennis treated him like family and we are incredibly grateful for the love and attention he provided. We highly recommend Dennis to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind and dependable pet sitter. Thank you for making such a difficult thing so much easier for us-we couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
“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.”
“Lisa did such a great job with our baby Nilah! We have been working really hard with training but a high energy golden can be really challenging. We appreciate Lisa’s patience with Nilah. She also had other dogs to play with throughout the week. Lisa has an extremely friendly family too so we knew our pup was in the best hands.”
“Molly did a really great job looking after Perrito and Gregorny. I believe our pups love her and Skyy! She updates us regularly about the boys which is a relief, being away from them for about a week. There were some unfortunate things that happened (whining during bed time, and accidents around the house) but Molly was really understanding. Thank you so much again, Molly, for taking care of Perrito and Gregorny for the second time 😊”
About: I have lived with dogs since I was born and have never had a time in my life where I was dog-less! I grew up with Border Collies and Labs mostly, but have experience with all breeds and sizes. I currently have a 1 1/2 year old Yellow Lab who is a gentle giant! He plays well with other dogs and loves to go hiking, camping, walking, running, and play fetch! I work as a Registered Nurse in surgery so I am well-versed in medications including side effects, administration, and emergency care. I am able to perform basic training skills for younger dogs or help enforce specific training for older dogs as well! My boyfriend, Ben, and I live together and Ben will often times work from home 2-3 days during the work week. I currently work full-time as a nurse and have hours that may vary from day-to-day but generally work 6:30am - 3pm. I am available after 4 pm to walk, play, or give potty breaks. My boyfriend works from home several days a week and would be able to assist me with the dogs as well. I am available most weekends for overnight stays, walks, potty breaks, etc. I currently have a Yellow Lab, Waylon, who gets extensive playtime both before work and after work. He is very friendly and likes to play with others if they are willing to play with him! He is able to read a room and also be around other dogs contently who may not be as excited to play. Waylon loves to snuggle and go for walks! There is a large dog park 10 minutes from our house but also two city parks to run in within a 8 minute walking distance. Along with the parks, we have a fenced in back yard where the dogs can run and have very close access to Lake Winnebago if your pup enjoys swimming!
About: I’ve walked dogs since I was 8 years olds, started house sitting at 13 for dogs, cats, and small animals. I considered my years of experience after adulthood for frosting cats and dogs. As well as my personal experience with horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, and more. I love them all and my kids do too. We are currently a single dog household with no cats, much to my kids disappointment. We are hoping that providing our children a wide range of experiences they will understand what the long term responsibilities will look like before adding another permanent furry family member. I work from home 95% of the time, only going in office once a month. My children are all young so we aren’t gone all weekend at sporting events and spend most of the time at home. While I do not have a fenced yard directly tied to the house there is lots of room on site to explore on walks and get exercise. There is also a fully enclosed fenced paddock if they enjoy playing fetch off leash. Our furniture is pet friendly but we will respect your rules. A ranch level house so only a drop down step into the living rooms and a few off the back porch making this a smooth retreat for your little legged friend or senior dog.
