“Heather took care of our dog Mars for 8 days, and we had such a great experience. She sent updates every morning and evening with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Mars clearly had the best time playing with the kids, going on walks, and enjoying the backyard. It really felt like he was part of the family. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and will definitely be booking with Heather and her family again this summer!”
“Sandy is truly the best rover I've had for my little ones. She's so attentive & always takes pictures and updates me everyday! My boys truly love staying over there and love how amazing she is with them ❤️”

“Ashley and her family were fantastic. I received update pictures of Coco. She took Coco for walks and her care for Coco was exceptional. I want to thank her again.”

“Emma was very well taken care of and had a great time with Andrea and her pup Lincoln! We got plenty of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. She was also very easy to communicate with and we were able to set up a meet and greet prior to her staying with them. Highly recommend!”
“I went to Mexico for 5 days and needed a reliable sitter for my high energy German Sheppard/Husky mix and Sunshine went above and beyond to make sure my trip was stress free! Get ready for lots of puppy playtime, several daily pictures, and a ton of love and cuddles from Sunshine and her family. I feel so lucky to have found such a great and reliable caretaker like Sunshine!!!”
“I am very comfortable having Kim & her family take care of my dog. Lucy isn't away from us very often and is nervous. I think Kim knows dogs and has the patience to work with her.”
“I was looking for a last minute sitter and found Lizarea on the Rover App. She was so kind and sweet. Very attentive to Oakleys needs like how often he's fed or how often he needs to be taken outside. Oakley felt right at home and was able to get comfortable. It was great to get photo updates, I really loved it! I would highly recommend Lizarea! She's absolutely great ^_^”
“"Auntie Miranda" was amazing!! She took care of our pup as if he were her own. She took him on walks and provided plenty of cuddles. She was prompt with messages and also sent many pictures of our happy little guy! Miranda went above and beyond by taking Yoshi to the groomer and trimming his nails! We will absolutely book her again.”
“Alyssa is amazing. She LOVES pups and takes care of them like they were her own. She cuddles them, plays with them, walks them, and does whatever you ask her to do. She is a delight to deal with, so positive and loving. I received photos, videos and puppy updates periodically every day. I highly recommend Alyssa. You’d be lucky to have her caring for your pup!”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with Dottie. Being new to the area and having to travel for business, I was very nervous finding a new sitter as Dottie has some extra needs in her older age. I appreciate Rachel’s updates and willingness to help in a time of need. Thanks again, Rachel!”
“Monica took excellent care of Enzo. She ensured Enzo went on long walks and provided plenty of updates throughout his stay. I would gladly request Monica to watch Enzo again in the future. Many thanks!! 🙏”

“Diamond was a life saver. This was my first time using rover and it was a last minute need! She scheduled a meet and greet and then took Gunter the next day for the weekend. She sent pictures of him throughout the weekend so I knew he was in safe hands. I will definitely recommend and use her services again in the future.”
“Danielle was perfect! She was great with communications from the initial request up to pickup time. We were confident our pup was in great hands! We highly recommend Danielle and look forward to working with her again!”

She was super organized and took down all of his information (including all of my little notes about his quirks). I got pictures and assurances that he was doing well the entire time I was away. Scamp came home happy and tired. Will definitely book again!”
“Tony was great with Archie. He sent photos and videos which I really liked to see. Archie looked like he really enjoyed himself. Would highly recommend Tony. Thanks again for having Archie in your home”

“Ky did a wonderful jobs with our two cats. She was patient with our one cat who is nervous around new people. She gave detailed updates and send photos everyday. We felt very safe leaving out pets with her and would definitely use her again in the future !”
“I would highly recommend Marisa to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Our cat is very shy and doesn’t want to be around strangers at all so naturally we were concerned prior to leaving him. Marisa got him to come out and play on the first day! I was surprised and expected him to hide for at least one day. She sent updates twice per day and lots of pics. We were very happy, grateful, and it put our minds at ease knowing we trusted Marisa with our baby, Coco. I will definitely request to book her again for our next trip.”
“Cat was great and has a lot of understanding of dogs, which she used to give my guys such great service. Good notes, clear communication, excellent rapport with the pets.”
“My second time booking with Kaylee. My kitties were well fed and happy to have her company! I really Appreciate her updates about them. She takes great pictures of the cats that help out my mind at ease about leaving them alone.”
“David is a gift from Heaven!!! Our cat Sophie loves him, and we love him! We feel we are soooo lucky to have found him, because he is just perfect in every way. He is definitely "family" - a wonderful cat lover as well as a great person!”
About: (I go by Dakota, so some testimonies might call me that) I started off pet sitting for neighbors when I was about 14. I would feed, let out, and walk the dogs, and feed and clean cat litter boxes as needed. I moved up to dog sitting for family friends, old coworkers, and coworkers’ clients about three years ago, where I would do the same, and even bathe dogs if needed. I have experience pet sitting rodents and reptiles as well! I am currently not working a job, so I have all the time to give your babies the love and attention they need and deserve! I have experience with body language in dogs, so I can always tell when your baby is happy, upset, or uncomfortable. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, no problem! I can take your fur baby on a secure leash outside!
About: I’m super energetic and love all animals I have had 2 dogs 3 cats and 3 lizards in my life time! They all have been my pride and joy. I’m also a mom to a 2 year old boy who loves animals as well I currently work nights and looking for something to keep myself busy during the day when I’m off. Walking and watching animals will help me be more active and get me out of the house. I care for all pets by playing with them giving them attention and being attentive to their needs. In a clients home like being respectful of the animals comfort zone and pay attention to every and all cues they animal may give the last thing id want is a stressed out animal under my care
About: I am definitely more of a cat person than a dog person. I truly love both, but with being a cat mom myself, they do serve a special place in my heart. I have experience with strict feeding routines that I follow to a T, and respect for cats who aren't so social!
“Kiersten is great. I reached out to her as I have been struggling to give my cat a liquid medicine for an upper respiratory infections, as well as eye and ear drops. After spending two hours of fighting him, and not getting a drop into him, I waived the white flag and went online to see if I could hire someone to do this for me twice a day. I found Kiersten, and she accepted. She is great with my cat, and very friendly. Always on time, and pleasant, no matter how much of a fight my cat puts up. Thank you Kiersten for everything!”
“My somewhat shy and very skittish pups. Emmi and Avrie, loved Megan from the first moment they met her! She took great care of them while I was away and even gave one a bath after a "fecal incident", including snuggle time after so my pup was warm and calm before Megan left. She even put my personal bedding in to wash so I didn't have to come home to a mess!!! I will definitely be using her again :D”
About: I have had all kinds of dogs & a cat since I was a kid; Schnauzers, Beagles, Pittie mixes, and a Chihuahua. My girlfriend & I currently have a 10 year old pitty named Cannoli, a son to be 2 year old pitty- Great Pyrenees named Carl and 2 12 year old chihuahuas named Tyson and Felix. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets while they are away.

Would love to regularly walk or drop in with your furry friends weekly or a few times a week! Active pet sitter near parks & walking trails. I enjoy taking pups on long walks or runs outdoors, or even just providing some company in the house while your are away.

“We love Sandy and so do our dogs! We honestly don’t know what we would do without her. She takes such great care of our girls that they seem completely unimpressed when we come to pick them up at the end of each stay. Highly recommend!”
“Meagan and her family are fantastic. Our dog loves going to their house and always comes home tired. Meagan has been very flexible and has helped our family with last minute boarding during a family emergency. 10 out of 10 recommend.”
About: Growing up I’ve always had multiple pets and was in charge of all the things that came along with taking care of pets. I have experience with cats and dogs and have owned quite a few of my own! Throughout the year I house sit for family and friends and watch up to 3-5 pets at a time! Work a flexible schedule so I am available a lot of throughout the week, I can make most times work currently as my schedule is. I do not have a fenced yard but I am very experienced with dog walking and letting dogs out with no fence. I can crate if needed. Also there is a dog park at my complex so I can bring them there!
“This is the second time Kim has taken care of Mae. As always Mae had a great time and was very well taken care of. Kim was a big help as I had a last minute schedule change and she was able to take Mae and provide a loving home for her so she did not have to stay home alone for 16 hours. Will use Kim again for sure.”
“April has been watching both my pups for quite some time now. They go to April multiple days a week for a full day. I receive photos, updates with concerns, etc. My pups are well cared for and are definitely wore out by the end of the day! I would definitely recommend her services. She even has meet and greets if other dogs will be present on days my pups are there and makes sure it is a good fit. It is very scary finding someone genuine to take care of your fur babies but April does wonderful and takes great care of them. Thanks!”
“Wonderful with my boy! Accomodating and I loved receiving photos and updates during the day. My pup is now happily snoozing away his exciting fun day! Very pleased! Will use again!”
“We were visiting Dubuque and needed care for our dog while we did a few non dog friendly things. We found Diamond! She was quick to respond and took wonderful care of our dog. Diamond was active with Golde by taking her on several walks. She kept in contact with us the entire time. Highly recommend her and will definitely use her again when in the area.”
“My Kizmet loves his time at Karen's! He's excited each drop off. Karen is great with introductions & clearly knowledgeable with animal behaviors. So thankful my Fur-boy & I have found her for our time in Racine! I'd definitely recommend her services, & her Lola is such a sweet fur-girl, Kizzy loves his time there!”
“Sunshine and her two wonderful children are the absolute best! This was the first time my 12 month old miniature long hair Dachshund has stayed with anyone and I felt that she was extremely well cared for. Will definitely use Sunshine again!!”
“Rob did a wonderful job with Greta, our CavaBear. Greta has anxiety; especially around other dogs, due to a couple of negative experiences with unleashed neighborhood dogs; so we were so grateful to hear that he only takes one dog at a time. She looked so content in the picture Rob sent us 🥹 Our reason for, and time of, our need for a Rover was pretty unorthodox, but Rob was so flexible, understanding and laid back. If we are ever in the Sturtevant, WI area again, we hope Rob will be available to watch Greta 🐾”
“Heather took such great care of my girls! She responded quickly, sent lots of updates and the pups were good and tired when I picked them up. I will definitely be getting in touch with her next time I stay in Kenosha!”
“I would recommend Jody to anyone who cares about how there dog is cared for☺️ I felt like she cared about my dog as much as I did. He was taken care of with every aspect that gives you a sense of comfort. I consider me and my best friend very lucky to have found Jody.”
About: Looking for a reliable dog sitter? Look no further! I am a passionate animal lover with years of experience taking care of animals. Your furry friend will receive the best care and attention while you're away. Rest assured that your dog will be in good hands with me as I provide a safe and loving environment for them. Hire me as your dog sitter and give yourself peace of mind knowing that your pet is well-cared for in your absence. As a caregiver for people, animals hold a special place in my heart. I see them as little humans without voices who also require care and attention. Incorporating pet care into my daily or weekly routine is a priority for me. Whether it's feeding them, walking them, or simply spending quality time together, I ensure that their needs are met just like I do for the people I care for. It brings me joy to provide love and support to these furry companions who rely on me for their well-being. Taking care of animals is not just a task - it's a meaningful part of my daily routine that enriches my life in countless ways. Providing a secure and comfortable space for the pets to roam and play. Ensuring that all doors and windows are properly closed and secured to prevent any potential escape. Keeping harmful substances and objects out of reach of the pets. Following a feeding and exercise routine tailored to the pet's needs. Being attentive to any signs of distress or illness in the pets and seeking immediate veterinary care if needed. Overall, caring for pets in a secured environment requires attention to detail and a proactive approach to ensure their safety and happiness.
“Love Jennifer! She’s amazing with my dogs. She’s so reliable and dependable. She’s my go to because she treats the dogs so well. She’s great with communication on how they’re doing too. ♥️♥️”

“Heidi is so kind and really helped us out when we needed a sitter during our daughter’s graduation party. Our dog can be a bit anxious and also is a runner when off leash, but she was up for the challenge, and we couldn’t be more thankful for her help. Her two dogs are adorable and we’re super friendly towards our dog. I without a doubt will be using her again!”

About: I have been pet sitting dogs and cats since I was only 13 years old. When my grandparents were out of town, I would ride my bike to their house to watch over their cats and let out their dog. Now, I'm home from college and looking for a job that involves animals and I would enjoy doing. I am currently taking jobs for summer! I will be home from college May 23rd-early August! Returning clients will get priority over new clients when it comes to bookings. I can walk dogs, let them out, play with both dogs and cats, feed the animals, bring in mail and packages and water any plants as needed.
“She always does amazing, goes above and beyond expectations! She provides LOTS of photos and gives a bunch of little details on how the walks went. Super grateful to have such a wonderful and caring person walk Maverick! 🥰”
About: Hi! Devoted animal lover here! I've taken care of animals my entire life as I grew up with dogs, cats, as well as birds. As a teenager I volunteered for training with an animal organization! More recently, I worked at a doggy daycare for an approximately 1 year. However, I decided to venture off on my own as this allows me to give every animal a customized experience. We create a permanent bond and familiarity. Animals are magnificent, they will tell you exactly how they feel without a voice. I give them the floor and listen to them. I understand boundaries and allow your fur baby to set them and I follow suit happily! ☺️ Separating from your child and putting your trust into someone else to care for your fur baby is daunting, nerve wrecking, and exhausting. I whole heartedly understand this as I’ve made people put my babies on the phone while I was away laughing but serious! I’m extremely communicative and you will ALWAYS receive real time updates and of course unlimited pictures!!! One day I hope to get into animal photography until then you may or may not see me laying on the ground to get the best angles of your fur baby with my iPhone! 📱 ALL are welcome!! My love knows no age, breed, or size!!! I’m a mother to 2 senior pets both cat and dog.🐕 In total I have 5 children. 4 cats all adopted from shelters, as well as my senior dog carrot! I realized at a very young age I wanted to run a mini rescue operation ❤️ Consultation is always free. Please let me know anything you would like me to know about your doggo prior to meeting! :) Pet care is my life. I’m a full time fur mom and a full time fur care taker. This is always something I’ve been passionate about and have finally been able to open up my availability completely! My pets are pampered! I love all fur babies as my own because it is simply impossible for me not to do so! I currently don’t offer in my house sitting because my senior dog gets stressed easily.
About: I am a life long dog lover. I've had dogs since I was a little kid, and currently, 2 chiweenies at home. I have worked as a dog walker and a dog sitter in the past and I enjoy dogs of all shapes and sizes! I can provide a cozy home for your pet where they will get plenty of cuddles, scratches, and probably some silly songs made up for them. I work from home, so I am home all day to keep an eye on your pet and to administer any care. I take frequent breaks and have time to play, take dogs on a walk around the block, etc. I require pets to be child, and dog friendly, since I have a 4 year old daughter, and 2 chiweenies at home. I also would not be a good fit for destructive pups (chewers and scratchers) unless they are kennel trained. I have a big fenced yard but a runner or escape artist would not be a good fit as one portion of my fence is shorter than the rest. Other than that, I can accommodate many pet needs. I have room for a kennel if needed, and a big bed for pets who prefer more cuddles at night. Please feel free to ask about anything else!
About: Ive been around animals for a decent part of my life. I’ve grown fond of having animals around, with 3 of my own kitties. I’m very diligent and patient with all animals. I can handle pups that pull. I’m versatile and work with all breeds. I strive to satisfy not only you , but also your pups. I would love to be a part of your fur babies journey!! :) I am fully available and very flexible with scheduling. I’d love to grow in experience and gain the skills I need to best take care of your pets(Home Experience Not Professional) I’m always available to take a stroll, play, and hang out with your fur babies. I will do my best to keep them happy and let them sight see. Thank you for the opportunity. I will always respect your space and follow the directions you give me. I appreciate good communication so that I can give the best service.
“Michelle was prompt in responding, friendly and outgoing with our pups, and asked great questions about them! We re-booked her promptly and highly suggest her services if you're in the greater SE-WI area.”
About: Hello! My name is Elena, and I specialize in caring for dogs of all backgrounds—including rescues, seniors, and pets with unique needs. As the owner of three rescue dogs myself, I understand that every pup has their own personality, history, and comfort level. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with: Recognizing stress, fear, and anxiety cues Supporting dogs with behavioral quirks or anxieties Providing consistent routines, medication if needed, and patient care When I care for your pet, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect timely communication, photo updates, and a sitter who truly respects the bond you share with your furry family member. Your pets will be cared for as if they were my own—because I know how much trust it takes to leave them with someone new. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to provide consistent and reliable care for your furry friend. As a nursing student, I have honed my skills in time management, responsibility, and compassionate care, which seamlessly translate into my pet care services. Ensuring the safety, trust, and well-being of pets is paramount. In my home, I maintain a pet-proofed environment with secure locks and designated safe zones, ensuring cleanliness and comfort with regular cleaning and a consistent schedule of feeding, walks, and enrichment activities. Health monitoring is a priority, with regular checks for signs of illness and immediate veterinary attention if needed.
About: I love animals and I know how hard it can be to balance life and your pets. Let me help you achieve that balance! Getting to hang with your pet would be such an honor- thank you for trusting me! I have a pretty flexible daytime schedule, so I can work around what you need. I have two dogs, a cat and a couple of fish, so needless to say I’m an animal lover! I am happy to listen to your needs and see what I can do to help you! I enjoy playing with your pups, as well as walking!
About: Hi there! I’ve had the joy of caring for my mom’s and friends’ dogs over the years, and I was also a proud dog mom myself for over a decade. My sweet girl passed away last September, and while I’m not quite ready to bring another pup into my life full-time, I truly miss the companionship and would love the chance to care for your dog while you’re away. I have experience with senior dogs and pups who need special medical attention, including administering medication and monitoring health conditions like seizures. I understand how important it is to provide patient, attentive care—especially when a dog has unique needs. Whether your dog loves long walks or just relaxing on the couch, I’m happy to meet them right where they are. I’d be honored to give your pup the love, attention, and comfort they deserve in your absence. I work from home and occasionally out in the field, but I'm never gone for more than a few hours—and I can adjust my schedule to be home the entire time if needed. Outside of work, I am a homebody, so you never have to worry about your dog being alone at night. While I do not have a fenced yard, I have a small courtyard and live in a residential neighborhood, which is excellent for walking. Inside my home, your dog is free to go wherever they like. No place is off limits (I am used to having a sliver of the bed).
About: I’ve dog sat for many people in the past including a senior dog. I grew up with dogs in the household. I currently have two cats and one is a kitten. I have cared for both dogs and cats, young and old. I’m currently going to school full-time, but it is online so I have time to walk and dog sit or cat sit your animals. I also do have two cats at home so I can’t sit for your animals at my home but am more than happy to come to your home. I will respect your home when I come over. You can include a list of things I need to do and will do them. I will also pick up your dogs for dog walking or you can bring them to my home as well.
About: ** I will be temporarily increasing my rates due to gas prices, current or past clients this will not apply to. Once the prices go down I will adjust my rates. Thank you for your understanding!** Hi there, I'm Nichole, and the dog in my profile picture is Chance! She was my best bud for 12 years so senior doggos are my heart! She helped me be familiar with giving oral medication and needing lots of naps and low-key play times! Besides Chance, I’ve had dogs whose ages range from 5 months to 10 years of age, and a variety of different breeds and sizes! I am comfortable with tug of war, playing fetch, or a good snuggle and belly rub. Currently we have two kitties and a doggo that just turned a year and an half (we’re working on behavioral needs with her so I’m very patient!) Are walks your furry best friend's favorite thing to do? Just leave me a note or give me instructions (if needed) in case they are really energetic or have a bigger than life personality so I know what they need. I can of course send pics of your best friend enjoying themselves on our walk, play time or even if they’re snoozing or chowing down on a meal. Do not hesitate to check in either asking how they are! It is my priority to be here while you’re away and to help you feel comfortable with their care even if I am just doing a check in. I know that their mom or dad is the best, but it’s my hope to help them not miss you as much while you're gone so I will make it a fun time for them and love them and care for them like they were my own. As far as how pet care fits into my daily routine, I would be available to walk or do check ins any time after 5 pm Monday-Friday. Weekends are free for the above mentioned as well as house sitting, unless we can figure out something for house sitting, I am unable to do that during the week unless your dog is okay being alone for 8 hours. For house sits I can do up to 4 days due to me currently working at school but once there’s a break or summer break I would revisit that. :) I will care for your pets as if they were family. I will be as hands off or hands on as needed depending on what they like or need. :) I also do have my husband come with me to all meet and greets due to safety reasons. He will not come to the walking or drop ins when being done.
About: I have had animals my whole life. I have experience with dogs primarily, but I have experience with fish, Guinea pigs, cats, and birds! Any time friends/family leave town, I’m the one they call. Always open to questions☺️ I currently have my kitty Sol in my home, but I always take care of my 2 pups on the weekend, and I took care of them everyday when I was a kid! Dogs are my Bestfriend☺️ I have special treats and food I feed to each of my dogs, as they are different ages and breeds. I try to stay on top of new diets I see online, and vet check them beforehand. I have always followed the rule: leave the area nicer when you found it, so if the dog has an accident, no problem!

About: My uncle bred certified schnauzers and I was always willing to lend a hand where needed. I also grew up around other breeds such as German Shepard, beagles, Shitzus, Great Pyrenees and many others. So I am fine with any size dog. I am off almost every weekend and have a lot of time on my hands during the day. I do this because currently I can’t have a dog so I plan on treating yours as my own. I will respect your home as if it’s my own. Shoot need a little clean up I will sure be down to do a little cleaning.

“Heather took care of our dog Mars for 8 days, and we had such a great experience. She sent updates every morning and evening with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Mars clearly had the best time playing with the kids, going on walks, and enjoying the backyard. It really felt like he was part of the family.

I feel so lucky to have found such a great and reliable caretaker like Sunshine!!!”

“I was looking for a last minute sitter and found Lizarea on the Rover App. She was so kind and sweet. Very attentive to Oakleys needs like how often he's fed or how often he needs to be taken outside. Oakley felt right at home and was able to get comfortable. It was great to get photo updates, I really loved it! I would highly recommend Lizarea! She's absolutely great ^_^”
“"Auntie Miranda" was amazing!! She took care of our pup as if he were her own. She took him on walks and provided plenty of cuddles.

We will absolutely book her again.”
