Highly-rated overnight sitters - Fontenoy
“Melissa and her family was amazing! We were so nervous bringing our very geriatric dog (16yr, 5mo) to anyone, but she really made us feel at ease. She has experience with other geriatric dogs and her own yorkie. We received an update and pictures of a very happy dog while we were on vacation. He was ready to go when I said I'd pick him up but didn't want to leave. He was even tired when he got home from the fun at her house. Highly recommend!”
“Excellent sitter! Updates & pictures every day. Shanna has a caregiving nature and truly in tune to animal needs and behaviors. We definitely recommend and would love future pet sitting! Thanks Shanna!”
“Mary was amazing!! My dog does not normally like new people but he loved Mary and she took great care of him. I even had to book last minute because of a funeral. I was able to be fully present with my family at our time of loss because my dog was so well cared for. Thanks Mary!!”
“Heather and her husband Chris were amazing. We got updates all the time without even asking… which honestly meant a lot to us. Our dog looked so happy in every photo and she came home tired which is always a good sign. Heather was super quick to reply to any message and booking with her was way easier than I expected. We were in a bit of a bind since we needed a sitter only 10 days out and she still made the whole thing smooth and even fit in a meet and greet. You can tell right away how much they love dogs so I knew my Finely girl was really in good hands. I would book with them again without even thinking twice!”
“Kristal and Scott were really great sitters. My Sophia was well taken care of and loved by them. She sent me updates on her and pictures almost on a daily basis. I would recommend them and use them in the future.”
“Bobbi was a fabulous sitter to my dog Duke. She’s caring, responsive and connected with us often while watching Duke. Her yard is a playground for all pups. Truly grateful to have found her! One of my best experiences with Rover!”
“Mackenzie and her doggie Wilson were awesome! Instant connection with our elderly dog and you can tell she is a total dog lover. Sent fun photos every day and it was obvious our old gal was having a nice time. Mackenzie’s house is immaculate too, by the way. I highly recommend!”
“10/10 Highly recommend! Jamie did an amazing job with our pups. We haven't left them before for any period of time, so were a bit nervous about how they would do. Jamie was exactly the person they needed. She welcomed them into her home and made their stay absolutely perfect.”
“We are so grateful to have found Anu and her family to care for our Ginger. Ginger loves going there to play and visit. They have become like her second family! She's already had 3 stays and a 4th one planned. Highly recommended!”
“Jeffrey was amazing with communication from the start of booking all the way to the end of the trip. He truly eased my fears of leaving my dog for the first time ever. He took her on walks and just gave her so much love and TLC. He gave daily updates on my dog and even sent pictures. Eased my heart for sure. He was truly amazing with my dog Belle and I will definitely be using him in the future.”
“Teressa was great to work with leading up to and through our departure out of town. We had a nice, short meet n greet. She was very flexible with us, and took great care of our sweet pup. She sent regular updates and photos unlike a previous Rover we used. We look forward to booking Teressa again soon!”
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
“We loved working with Kimberly. She watched our dog for the first time and suggested a meet and greet to make sure she was a good fit with her own dog. We loved that and it made us trust her from the start. When we met her, Kimberly asked us many questions about our dog that made us feel like she would take very good care of her. Also, Kimberly’s home is quite literally the perfect set up for dogs. We know that our dog loved staying there and we enjoyed the updates Kimberly sent us throughout her stay. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Rebecca was incredibly flexible and accommodating. Weather caused chaos in our return plans and she waited up until 12:30am for us to pick up our dogs. Last time we traveled we kenneled our dogs and they came back stressed which lasted a week. This time they obviously had played hard as they were tired the first morning, but were right back themselves!”
About: I have had horses and dogs along with all sorts of animals my whole life. I have assisted with litters of puppies and worked years in a veterinary clinic. My animals are my family and I will care for yours in the same way! I work Monday through Friday 8-5 and am off on the weekends I would be available after work and on the weekends. If that works let me know! I also take my small dog to work with me and my springer goes to daycare next to my work. I have a large fenced in backyard! Pets are like family in my home!! They are allowed on furniture! I have many years of experience from 6 pounds to 150 pound Great Danes.
“Cristy took excellent care of our goldendoodle, Luna. Luna loved playing with her dog Duke! They had great time running out the backyard and hanging out on couch. We really appreciated the pictures and updates.”

Cat caregivers near you - Fontenoy
About: Cats have always been my favorite animals, despite working with just about every domestic animal. Grumpy cats (my personal favorite- I love a challenge!), playful kittens, Velcro cats, they’re all so fun to interact with. I’ve grown up taking care of cats, and have an almost annoying amount of knowledge about them. I am experienced in medicating especially difficult cats, and I can trim nails as well!
About: My family and I had a dog of our own for about 13 years during my childhood, allowing me to gain experience in feeding, training, and walking dogs. Now that she has sadly passed away, I would love to give other pets the same love I am no longer able to give to my own pet. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to smother your pets with my love! Late mornings and early afternoons are the times that typically work best for me, but I am flexible and willing to try anything! I will only allow pets that are fine being outside because my house does not allow pets indoors. I have a large yard surrounded by fields in a rural area where pets are free to roam in sight as long as they’re well-trained.
“Jeanne took excellent care of my cats! She watched my cats shortly after I moved so they were still stressed in their new, unfamiliar environment, but they were comfortable with her and even came out to play!”
About: I used to have cats and have raised kittens, but I can no longer have cats of my own because my husband is allergic. I miss having and will enjoy being around them when I sit for yours.
“Melissa did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She was timely, sent updates and gave them plenty of attention. Would definitely book again with her!”
“We were very comfortable having Teressa in our home. She was attentive to our cats and house. She takes great photos and we loved getting the updates. We came home to happy cats!”
About: Any aged cat will always be a "kitten" to me! I grew up surrounded by felines, including caring for a beloved diabetic cat, so I am highly experienced with accurate medication scheduling and pilling. More than anything, I understand that cats are all about consent. I know how to read their body language, respect their boundaries, and let them set the pace for affection. Whether your kitty needs a patient pal to sit quietly nearby, a gentle playmate, or precise medical care, I am ready to be your purr-fectly reliable helper!
About: I have 2 dogs and love talking them on walks during the week. I’ve also volunteered at the humane society helping to care for the animals. I work part time at Kwik Trip during the week from 9 am until 12 pm so I’m available to walk dogs anytime after 12 pm during the week. I don’t work on the weekend but anytime after 12 pm works best for me to walk dogs on the weekend. I have 2 dogs and they love other dogs. There’s a dog park in Green Bay that I visit and a trail in Green Bay that I love walking my dogs on.
“Lily did a great job with our cats! One of our cats responded to her as expected each visit, which was on camera... she engaged and played with him on each visit. Although Lily called out for our other cat, she (the cat) is much more aloof even to us and typically slept through Lily's visits. Cats were well cared for by Lily. Would definitely recommend her to others and will book her with other trips in the future. Thanks for taking great care of our cats Lily!”
“Carly came into our home before the trip to meet and get to know the cats and routine. It was lovely to be able to talk with her before and throughout the visits. My two cats loved her very quickly and she got pictures that are now my favorite of the kitties. Will be the first I contact for any further kitty sitting needs! 10/10”
About: With over 5 years of cat-sitting experience, I provide attentive, reliable care related to each cat's unique personality and needs. I have worked with cats of all ages and temperaments. My priority is creating a calm, safe environment where your cats feels safe while you are away.
“Allison did an awesome job checking on my cat Shannan. Updated me on what was going on for the 5 days I was away. Allison provided pictures everyday! I would recommend her for anyone who is going away for a long period of time.”
About: We love caring for dogs! We have 2 dogs, both turning 2 in July. They both love all animals. We are experienced with cats and dogs. I would prefer dogs with experience with cats but they are fairly savvy and we have safe places within our home for them if needed. We work full time but we are available during weekends. We can be available for most weekend nights and kennel if needed during the week. Our home is extremely dog friendly. Fenced in backyard, many toys. Our home is their home! We will take them for walks daily and get plenty of exercise and activities. They will have plenty of activity to tire them out by the time they will get home.
About: I grew up with two dogs in the house as well as have watched and taken care of multiple friend’s pets when they have been out of town. I also have three cats of my own. I work full time from 8-5:00pm Monday through Thursday. 8am-11:30am on Friday. Weekends work well for overnight care. Available before and after work and days off are full attention to pet. I make sure that they are properly nourished and taken care of as well as given attention so that they don’t feel alone. I treat them as if they were my own.
About: Before I adopted, I put a lot of time into researching how to take care of cats and the best ways to keep them happy and healthy! I am very very picky on what brands of food I use and try to mix it up once in a while so they don’t get too dependent on one brand or flavor. However, my boy Gus is very demanding when it comes to cheese so I fold every now and then! I care a lot about my cats and will be just as attentive to your babies!!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Fontenoy
“I feel so comfortable leaving my pup with Melissa. My pup has such a good time and always comes home tired from playing all day! Would recommend, have used her more than once, and will definitely use her in the future.”
“Shanna is a delight and took fantastic care of Keely. I only wish she lived closer to our home so she could be our full time sitter. Our dog came home happy and exhausted.”
“Bonnie was amazing with our dog Cinnamon! We were in town for my daughter’s dance competition when a blizzard completely changed our plans. Bonnie was incredibly understanding and accommodating when we unexpectedly had to stay an extra night because travel was so dangerous. She even offered to help with anything Cinnamon might need since we hadn’t planned on being away another day. Cinnamon had a wonderful time playing with Bonnie’s fur babies and came home happy and completely exhausted from all the fun. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pup like their own, Bonnie is fantastic. Highly recommend!”
“Shelby was wonderful and communicated with us the entire stay and kept us updated on how they were doing. We are traveling and went to a Packers game and toured Greenbay. Pistol Annie and Stetson had great care and would highly recommend Shelby to keep your fur babies.”
“Mackenzie was the absolute perfect dog sitter for our sweet Maverick! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. It was clear she loved and cared for him as if he were her own, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away at the Packers game. She kept us updated with pictures and made sure Maverick had everything he needed — including lots of love and snuggles! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and who truly loves animals. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy!”
About: A Home Away from Home for Your Beloved Pet Animals have always been at the center of my life. I’m the kind of person you’ll see pulled over on the side of the road, coaxing a frightened or injured animal to safety. Caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's who I am. When one of my dogs developed severe arthritis and could no longer enjoy walks, I repurposed a wagon and some old downhill skis into a sled so she could still take in the fresh air and sights of winter. That’s the kind of care and creativity I bring to every animal in my life. Your pet will be treated like family here. Whether they’re most comfortable relaxing in a private room or hanging out with the rest of us in the house, we make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. If your pet prefers some solo R&R, we absolutely respect that too. For peace of mind, I use a pet camera so I can keep an eye on things throughout the day—and I’m happy to share photos and updates with you during their stay. With hands-on experience in animal shelters, rescues, and private training facilities, I’m confident working with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My background has also given me extensive knowledge of animal health, medications, and disease management. If your pet requires medication or has special health needs, you can trust that they’re in capable hands. Additional Experience & Amenities: Certified in Animal CPR and Basic Life Support (BLS) Experienced with grooming basics including ear cleaning and nail trimming Fully fenced-in yard for safe playtime Mini pet pool and lots of toys for enrichment in warmer months Important Notes: All pets must be up-to-date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention (during summer) We require a meet-and-greet before your pet's stay to ensure a good fit for everyone Please let us know if your pet has any behavioral issues (around food, toys, or beds) or requires a specific medication or feeding routine We’re so excited to meet you and your furry friend—and to provide them with the love, care, and comfort they deserve! Thank you! I work full-time but come home for lunch. So your pet wouldn't wait more than 4 hours to be let out. We spend alot of time outside, like to go for walks or just relax in the backyard. I have a large fenced in backyard providing lots of room to run and play. I have a entire room dedicated to the pets that stay over if they need some quiet alone time. They are welcome to be in the house with the rest if my family but have the option to have their space as well.
“Isaiah is a very knowledgeable and nurturing dog sitter. He handled my rambunctious pup with expert care, and his dog Finley graciously scaled down his play to match my wee one. Would highly recommend for walking, watching, or boarding.”

“I truly appreciate Colleen for taking care of my fur baby all day! She is super nice and took very good care of my fur baby! I definitely recommend her. If and when I am back in Greenbay I will for sure do another booking with her.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who recently retired, and I’m looking to fill my days with some extra puppy love. My pup, Cullen, and I are a duo that loves company. Since I’m home throughout the day, your dog will have constant supervision, plenty of backyard time, and all the belly rubs they can handle. We’re looking for friendly companions to join us for neighborhood strolls and afternoon naps. Your pup won’t just be "staying" here—they’ll be part of the family! Since I am retired, my schedule is completely dedicated to pet care. Your dog will enjoy 24/7 companionship and a consistent routine, as I am home full-time to provide potty breaks, backyard play, and plenty of cuddles. Cullen and I are very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and we look forward to a Meet & Greet to ensure a perfect match! We offer a fully fenced-in backyard featuring a beautiful koi pond. To ensure a safe and harmonious environment for everyone, I look for guest dogs who have a solid foundation in basic obedience and a 'gentle' temperament around water and wildlife. My own dog loves making new friends, and I prioritize active supervision to ensure all 'fur babies'—and my fish—stay happy and safe!

About: I have been lucky to have owned pets nearly my entire life. Mostly dogs, but a cat and fish as well. My family fur baby passed in 2022 after nearly 14 years being our companion. I watch friends and family pets, and help them spur of the moment requests to drop in and let pets out. I recently retired, so I can be flexible with your needs for pet sitting. I can do drop in visits, or overnight at your place or mine. There are no other pets or children at my home. I will follow your instructions on feeding and handling your pet. I can give your pet all of my attention.

“We had a last-minute Rover request, and Bobbi responded quickly and made booking easy. Even though it was a short stay, we could tell our dog had a great time especially with Mercy, their adorable pug! Bobbi shared updates and photos, and Nova seemed to really enjoy their spacious backyard. Bobbi was so kind and welcoming. We’d absolutely recommend her to others!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since i was 8. My extended family all has dogs and would often ask me to help out with them. My family currently owns a a golden retriever named Hank and a lab named Mabel. I trained both Mabel and Hank as puppies, and my previous dog Diezel as a therapy dog. I understand the importance of affection and routine in your pets life and am happy to give that to them! You can count on me to make your pet feel comfortable, loved and happy. I currently have pretty open availability as I am currently out of school for the summer. During fall, I will have availability in the evenings and weekends. I am comfortable with kenneling, free range pets, free feeding and scheduled meals. Whatever you feel comfortable with! I’m happy to take your pet on walks or play with them in your own home.
About: Hi, I'm Melissa! I grew up surrounded by pets, and that passion grew into a lifelong career in animal care. I bring over a decade of professional facility experience to Rover, including serving as a Pack Leader at Tailwaggers Doggy Daycare and spending seven years as a specialized Caregiver at the world-renowned Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. There, I worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and behavioral needs, including dog-selective and dog-aggressive behaviors. Currently, I keep my skills sharp working part-time as a Kennel Technician at a daycare and boarding facility right here in Green Bay. Because of my professional background, I’m highly experienced with administering medications, recognizing subtle body language, and reinforcing basic training. I know how important routine is, so I am more than happy to strictly follow whatever household rules you have set for your pet. Whether your furbaby is a social butterfly or a quiet soul who needs a patient, gentle approach, I have the intuitive skills to make them feel safe and loved. When I’m not caring for your pets, I’m hanging out with my own senior "puppy," a 9-year-old dog named Alba (pictured with me!), and my 14-year-old "kitten." I love house-sitting, overnight stays, and dog walking, and my ultimate goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're away. I can’t wait to meet your furbabies! My part-time schedule as a local kennel technician makes me incredibly flexible for pet sitting! I work from 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM – 6:30 PM (about 25 hours a week), which leaves my entire midday window from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM wide open for lunchtime walks, playtime, and companionship. I am also available for quick check-ins before my morning shift, and my evenings are completely free after 6:30 PM for late-night cuddles and dedicated overnight stays. Because my daily job already centers around professional feeding, medicating, and cleaning, keeping your pet's routine seamless and sanitary between my shifts is second nature to me! My goal is to keep your pets in their happiest, most comfortable element, which is why I specialize in caring for them right in their own home! With over a decade of professional animal facility experience and a huge heart for all creatures, I pride myself on being the next best thing to you when you’re away. I am fully backed by Rover and prioritize open, consistent communication—sending you regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they are in safe hands. As a major bonus, I am an exceptionally tidy person who genuinely enjoys cleaning. My past clients have always loved coming home to happy, healthy, stress-free pets and a thoroughly clean, respected house! 🧽🐾

I work part time at Kwik Trip during the week from 9 am until 12 pm so I’m available to walk dogs anytime after 12 pm during the week.

“Allison is amazing! We have a very shy, very large, very old dog - we had a couple meet and greets with Allison to introduce the shy pup, and she really took the time to get to know both us and the pup. Long story short, she’s all around awesome and we’re looking forward to having her help in the future ?”
About: Since I was born our family has had dogs in our house. I grew up with a Sharpei, a Border Collie-German Shepherd mix, and Pit mix; all rescues from local animal shelters and humane societies. Each of them had completely unique personalities, from being protective, to extremely energetic, and dealing with anxiety, I understand how each dog, and owner, embodies a unique relationship. I have helped dog sit for our neighbors in the past and take have taken dogs out for walks during the day when they have to work long hours. I am open to all breeds, ages, and energy levels. I am a professional hockey player, and just finished my first full pro season, so the summer is considered my off-season. I still have morning commitments to my sport so working with Rover works around my odd work hours and fills in the rest of my day. I am extremely active, and can be the same way with dogs looking to get their exercise in for the day as well. I am available between the early afternoon hours through the evening Mon-Fri, but visits outside of that time frame or on the weekends can be worked out as well ahead of time. My first goal is to make your pet feel safe and comfortable with me to make sure they enjoy the experience of spending some of their day with me. My goal is to have positive experiences for both your dog and myself. I understand some dogs can be nervous or have specific habits, so I will follow any instructions given to me on how to properly care for your dog. Whether that is taking them out to exercise, proper ways to give them food, as well as ways to help them feel more comfortable during my visits. My parents’ dog, Marcel, is a pit-mix rescue who has anxiety and very specific eating habits that we have catered to daily over the past several years, so I understand the uniqueness of each dog and situation.
About: I love taking care of all different kinds of pets, I love working with pets that have unique personalities. There is still so many breeds of both dogs and cats that I would love to be able to take care of. I am currently working part-time at a pet boarding/ daycare facility and still going to school. I still seem to have time that I feel as if I am wasting and need something to fill that void. In my clients home I will try to stick to the instructions that they give me when I am caring for their pet. I will also do anything extra depending on the pet and the different needs that they may have. (Ex. If they are a senior pet or a puppy)
About: We have experience with aggressive dogs, training dogs, administering medication, excellent communication, attention to detail, and lots of love in whatever way best suits the pet! Starting August 1st I will be around the house just leaving to get kids from school M-F. My husband works from home and we have 3 responsible teenagers that assist (14,16,17) your pets will always have someone around and attending to their needs. I have a fenced yard, a 5 year old husky mix who is super submissive and gentle, a cat who can handle himself and will either play with your dog or hide and watch from a safe distance :). We have had fosters before and if there is any cat to have around your dog it’s him! We love going for walks, playing fetch, tug of war, walks, or just cuddles! Whatever your animal is up for!
About: I have several years of caring for many breeds of dogs. German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Pugs, mixed breeds, Golden Doodles, Retriever mix, Chugs. I have been honored to have several dogs that have lived into their senior years. Most recently taking care of my 15 year old Retriever mix. I’m currently working as a teacher. I am available evening and weekends. Come, June I will be available during the weekdays to care for your puppy, adult dog, or senior dog. I will provide your best friend with love and attention. We have a 12 year old Chug that just lost her best friend, Buster this spring at the age of 15. She would love some company.
About: I have had dogs since I was a child. I adore all animals but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I have fostered puppies and dogs which included medication administration. I have a senior dog myself now and have been adapting his care to adhere to his age. I have trained puppies before with potty training, teething, and walking on a leash. I work full time during the week but have a fairly flexible schedule. Primarily available on the weekends to love and care for your pets. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. I have a crate if needed. I will respect and follow any instructions when caring for your fur babies in your home. I will love and treat them like my own.
“Melissa does so well with sunny. She comes in on time, and made it so much easier for us as my wife had surgery and I was working from home. Highly highly recommend. I never worry where sunny is or what hes up to and he loves seeing her.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, I know nothing other than dogs. Raised both boys and girls. Currently, raising a 105 lb., 3 year old red gold retriever Mowgli and loving it. He plays well with others! Until further notice, I’m open at all hours of the day. I usually start my day around 5 am to about 9 pm per my puppy’s routine. However, open to any at the time being. I am taking a short leave from my full time position. My home is a family home we’ve grown up in the last seven years or so- plush grass, friendly dog neighbors, friendly neighbors, a lot of exercise in walking (I’ve gone as far as a half marathon once, not saying that’s the plan though unless you’re looking to train for a half marathon of course… lol)
About: Not only have I had dogs my entire life but I worked at a zoo from the age of 15-20! I worked with all kinds of animals and I love them all! Currently I have a couple different jobs and I go to school, but my nights after 8 are open during the week and I can take your pets on walks or check in on them in between my classes! Unfortunately I am not allowed to have animals in my apartment but I am willing to come to you to make your pets feel more comfortable! I give lots of love and attention to animals!
About: I've had dogs my entire life they've always been more like siblings to me than pets. Right now I have an Australian Shepherd and a German Shepard, I love them very much but now that I've moved out of my parents house I don't see them every single day and im missing some pet love!! I am a caregiver to the elderly and disabled as well but love giving care to any and all in need!! Very easy to work with. Shoot me a text. 😉 Caregiver all around 💞 I love being of service and giving care whether it be humans or animals, I enjoy what I do. Ask me more :) I do not board animals at this time due to having my own kitten, she is being introduced to other pets but is not yet fully comfortable

“I reached out to Kaitlyn to see if she could accommodate a short notice dog walking request, as I’ve been a little under the weather and my dog was starting to go stir crazy. She responded to my request quickly, communicated when she was on her way, walked Luna for the full 30 minutes and was very friendly! Luna is a happy girl and I would absolutely hire Kaitlyn again!”

“Melissa and her family was amazing! We were so nervous bringing our very geriatric dog (16yr, 5mo) to anyone, but she really made us feel at ease. She has experience with other geriatric dogs and her own yorkie. We received an update and pictures of a very happy dog while we were on vacation. He was ready to go when I said I'd pick him up but didn't want to leave. He was even tired when he got home from the fun at her house. Highly recommend!”
“Excellent sitter! Updates & pictures every day. Shanna has a caregiving nature and truly in tune to animal needs and behaviors. We definitely recommend and would love future pet sitting! Thanks Shanna!”
“Heather and her husband Chris were amazing. We got updates all the time without even asking… which honestly meant a lot to us. Our dog looked so happy in every photo and she came home tired which is always a good sign. Heather was super quick to reply to any message and booking with her was way easier than I expected. We were in a bit of a bind since we needed a sitter only 10 days out and she still made the whole thing smooth and even fit in a meet and greet. You can tell right away how much they love dogs so I knew my Finely girl was really in good hands. I would book with them again without even thinking twice!”
“Bobbi was a fabulous sitter to my dog Duke. She’s caring, responsive and connected with us often while watching Duke. Her yard is a playground for all pups. Truly grateful to have found her! One of my best experiences with Rover!”
“Mackenzie and her doggie Wilson were awesome! Instant connection with our elderly dog and you can tell she is a total dog lover. Sent fun photos every day and it was obvious our old gal was having a nice time. Mackenzie’s house is immaculate too, by the way. I highly recommend!”
“10/10 Highly recommend! Jamie did an amazing job with our pups. We haven't left them before for any period of time, so were a bit nervous about how they would do. Jamie was exactly the person they needed. She welcomed them into her home and made their stay absolutely perfect.”
“We are so grateful to have found Anu and her family to care for our Ginger. Ginger loves going there to play and visit. They have become like her second family! She's already had 3 stays and a 4th one planned. Highly recommended!”
“Jeffrey was amazing with communication from the start of booking all the way to the end of the trip. He truly eased my fears of leaving my dog for the first time ever. He took her on walks and just gave her so much love and TLC. He gave daily updates on my dog and even sent pictures. Eased my heart for sure. He was truly amazing with my dog Belle and I will definitely be using him in the future.”
“Teressa was great to work with leading up to and through our departure out of town. We had a nice, short meet n greet. She was very flexible with us, and took great care of our sweet pup. She sent regular updates and photos unlike a previous Rover we used. We look forward to booking Teressa again soon!”
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
“We loved working with Kimberly. She watched our dog for the first time and suggested a meet and greet to make sure she was a good fit with her own dog. We loved that and it made us trust her from the start. When we met her, Kimberly asked us many questions about our dog that made us feel like she would take very good care of her. Also, Kimberly’s home is quite literally the perfect set up for dogs. We know that our dog loved staying there and we enjoyed the updates Kimberly sent us throughout her stay. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Rebecca was incredibly flexible and accommodating. Weather caused chaos in our return plans and she waited up until 12:30am for us to pick up our dogs. Last time we traveled we kenneled our dogs and they came back stressed which lasted a week. This time they obviously had played hard as they were tired the first morning, but were right back themselves!”
About: I have had horses and dogs along with all sorts of animals my whole life. I have assisted with litters of puppies and worked years in a veterinary clinic. My animals are my family and I will care for yours in the same way! I work Monday through Friday 8-5 and am off on the weekends I would be available after work and on the weekends. If that works let me know! I also take my small dog to work with me and my springer goes to daycare next to my work. I have a large fenced in backyard! Pets are like family in my home!! They are allowed on furniture! I have many years of experience from 6 pounds to 150 pound Great Danes.
“Sara and her family provided a wonderful home for our two dogs while we were on a trip! They have a large fenced-in backyard where they could run around and play with Luna. They came home happy and pooped from all their fun. We are so grateful, and will definitely use them in the future!”
“We were so happy to find Aryn on Rover to care for our dogs for a weekend away! She was especially patient with one of our dogs that experiences separation anxiety. We really appreciated her communication and care for our dogs!”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
