“Anu and her family are wonderful and took amazing care of our Daisy while we were on vacation. It is clear that they love dogs and are very knowledgeable caring for them. Discussed food, meds, routine and behaviors ahead of time. Great communication and appreciated the many photo and video updates while we were away. I would definitely book with Anu again.”
“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!”
“Erika is an angel! First of all she agreed to care for our puppy 2 days after being spayed. Then our puppy did not do well and became ill with diarrhea and vomiting. She kept in close contact with us and continued to care for her. She had to make special food for our pup because of her diarrhea. Erika is just the sweetest person you will meet and she even washed all of the items in her kennel. We can not say enough positive things about her - if you need an angel to take care of your dog baby consider Erika!”
“Emily and her family took great care of my pup! She send lots of pictures and I truly felt like she cared for my dog as her own. Her house was clean and inviting and she was easy to communicate with. I would book with her again!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Emily and Bryan. They were wonderful, sending lots of videos and pictures throughout the stay. We knew that our dog was getting exercise, playtime and lots of cuddles! We will definitely book with them in the future!!”
“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!”
“Melissa and her mother were very welcoming and accommodating for our stay with them. Due to a change in plans on my part, she allowed me to pick up my dog earlier than arranged which was very nice. They notified me of my dog's progress and sent pictures of her stay.”
“Thank you, Shanna, for taking such good care of our pups! We appreciate your easy-going manner and our dogs appreciated the cuddles and care. The toys were a huge hit and a very thoughtful surprise. You were so accommodating and made our trip worry-free. You rock!”
“By far my dog’s favorite sitter! She is always treated like part of their family and she has so much fun playing with their dogs. I love all the photos and the run down of all the fun playtime she got during the day!”
“Clooney Marie was very well taken care of by Chase & Jessica. This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous at first. Highly recommend this couple. This dog mama was so happy my girl was in a good place with good people.”
“Karen took great care of our boy- very communicative and patient with his minor separation anxiety- if we find ourselves back in town we’ll be happy to work with her again!”
“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!”
“Amazing!!! They sent pics every day, had a really cute house in a great walking neighborhood! Their youngest dog was a great buddy for my high energy doggo! As much as I hate leaving my dog, I would have zero concerns about leaving him with Kelly and their entire family again.”
“For a recent week - long vacation, we left our 3 year old golden doodle with Jeff. This was our first time using Rover and leaving her in someone else's home. After an initial meet and greet, we felt very comfortable with Jeff and Ember loved his fenced in yard. We liked the photo and written updates we received while vacationing. Jeff provided daily walks and outside time. He respected Ember's schedule and tried to maintain her schedule. In addition to our toys and treats, he also provided some. We will definitely use Jeff's boarding for future get aways.”
About: With over 17 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a lifetime of hands‑on knowledge and a genuine love for pets of all ages. I’ve raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years and have helped neighbors for many years with reliable cat‑sitting and general pet‑care support. My background includes basic training skills, experience with a wide range of temperaments, and the ability to provide gentle care for seniors, energetic play for younger dogs, and everything in between. Our home offers a family‑style, country‑living environment where pets can relax and enjoy plenty of space. Dogs have access to both indoor and outdoor dog‑run areas, regular walks, and supervised playtime. Light grooming—such as brushing and simple upkeep—is also available to help your pet feel clean and comfortable throughout their stay. I treat every pet like part of the family and strive to make their time here safe, enriching, and full of the comfort they deserve. I work from home, which allows me to flexibility to help keep a consistent and attentive routine for the pets in my care. Dogs can enjoy potty breaks, playtime, and walks throughout the day, including: • Early‑morning walks • Midday/noon walks • Later‑day or early‑evening walks Your dog will also have 24‑hour access to a safe indoor/outdoor dog run, giving them freedom to stretch, sniff, and relax whenever they’d like. For downtime or pups who prefer structure, I provide a clean, comfortable crate area upon request. My flexible schedule and home setup ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and a calm, country‑style environment throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Our home offers a secure, family‑friendly environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. We provide a fully fenced indoor/outdoor dog run, giving dogs a safe space to explore, stretch, and enjoy fresh country air throughout the day. For structure, naps, or dogs who prefer their own space, I offer a clean and comfortable crate option upon request. Dogs enjoy regular walking options, including strolls around our spacious lawn and yard area, perfect for sniffing, exploring, and getting gentle exercise. Our home is a true family setting, with children who are experienced and respectful around pets, a friendly and playful three‑year‑old Labrador retriever, and a gentle house cat who is calm around visiting animals. This creates a warm, social atmosphere for pets who enjoy companionship and calm routines for those who prefer quieter spaces. I strive to provide a safe, trustworthy, and welcoming environment where every pet feels cared for like one of our own.
“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.”
“I'm thrilled to share my fantastic experience with Kristina, who cared for Hiro. Hiro had an incredible time and returned home happy and content. Kristine provided excellent care, and I appreciated her commitment to ensuring Hiro's well-being. She helped burn energy out of my high-energy Samoyed pup; I highly recommend her services! I will definitely book with her again when I go out of town!”

“Our normally well-behaved dogs decided to ransack their room while we were gone for an afternoon. Upon her arrival at our house, not only did Amanda straighten up their mess but she also fed them, spent plenty of time with them outside, sent me pics of her visit, and even left them treats for Christmas. Would highly recommend Amanda to anyone seeking a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter who goes the extra mile for her clients.”
“Another week away knowing Karlee would take good care of our 2 kitties. Her drop in visits are more than just the standard litter cleaning and food/water refills. It’s obvious she’s a caring animal lover, as she seeks them out every visit to provide some loving and kitty playtime. Will definitely contact her again whenever we travel - she provides a comforting peace of mind that our babies will be well cared for while we’re gone.”
“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!”
About: I love all animals. I have taken care of my family, friends, and my own pets for years. I am a huge believer in play and fun. I assist pets with a more active lifestyle with love. I am reliable and will treat your pet as my own. I too have been on extended trips and felt the worry associated with being gone. I understand how to calm pets and make the experience positive for all involved. I am an effective communicator and will give updates for piece of mind. I have had behavioral training. I hope to be your regular and become a true friend/ helper for your pet reducing all anxiety and offering a wonderful experience for your beloved pet. Good care and vibes only.
About: I have been around cats all my life. I grew up with a family of cats as a child. I had my own pet cat Marley in my early adulthood. I had him for 14 years. He is currently living with a friend who wouldn't give him back to me after watching him for a few months. I miss him, but it's all for the best as I have just recently moved to Bremerton. I also had a Saint Bernard who passed away of brian cancer in July 2021 at the age of 9.
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!
“Jenna did great and was very flexible. She even got some pets in with my rabbit who is usually wary of strangers or people in general so im very happy with the job she did!”
“Bethany was great ant accommodating all my needs and requests. My normally shy cat made a great connection and enjoying everytime she came over. Would 100% recommend Bethany to anyone with pet sitting needs.”
“Anne was wonderful with my cat, Lia. My cat seemed to enjoy the visits and extra attention. Anne was also great with communication and sending photos of what Lia was up to. Will definitely reach out to Anne in the future when needed!”
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.
About: I have grown up with several felines and canines my entire life. I have been responsible for their care for several years, including several animals in their older years. I possess a quite relaxed personality, which is beneficially picked up by most animals. I am also capable of providing necessary exercise for animals of an increased energetic disposition. Dog walks can be taken at a leisurely pace, or one more accelerated, depending on dog's needs. I am looking to supplement my current income, as well as enjoy the company of more cats and dogs. My current job offers flexible hours, so I am available most hours during the afternoon to night for necessary care needs (walks, feeding, letting out,vet appointments). I look forward to satisfying your pets needs.
“Brittany did a fantastic job with my crew of 4 dogs!! They loved her. She gave updates after each visit and was very quick on her response. I will absolutely reach out to her again to care for my fur babies. Thank you Brittany!!!”
About: Hi, you can call me Lolo. I am a big lover of dogs and had a small dog growing up. I have been walking dogs since the summer of 2021. I have experience with walking medium sized and smaller dogs, but I am open to any size and type of breeds. I even have experience watching cats and had birds growing up as a child. I am currently a stay at home mom which gives me more flexibility and choosing to do what I love the most, which is spending time with and taking of dogs! I am very responsible, attentive, and outgoing which are all some qualities I think are very important when it comes to taking care of dogs. I am looking forward to meeting you and your sweet dog(s)! I am a stay at home mom and have a lot of downtime to spend some time with your dogs. Pet care is a job for me and my schedule is very flexible! I have crate training experience. My neighborhood is very safe and I live in a house with a lot of trees and woods so the dogs can run around. There are not too many dogs around, so you won’t have to worry about other dogs!
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!

“Emily took such good care of our Obi! Emily and her family took him in like their own! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was very attentive to all our puppy’s needs 😊 🩷 Would highly recommend Emily for all your pets needs!”
“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!”
“Erica was a god-send when we couldn’t take our dog with us to an event out of town. Her profile told me she’d be great and I was so grateful she was available. It was only for 5 hours but she managed to get our sometimes finicky and whiny dog to settle and eat her food when given! I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Kenzie is an awesome dog-sitter. She clearly loves the dogs and mine was Very Excited to go to her home. In the last minute I decided to board my dog instead of doing doggy daycare, and Kenzie was completely flexible! I will definitely use Kenze's services again! Thank you!!”
“Our rescues feel comfortable going to Bobbie and Clark’s and love to snuggle with the whole family. Thank you for giving them a secure environment away from home!”
About: Our family loves animals. We have a comfortable home with a large yard. We have three caring boys that love pets. We are not quite ready to bring a dog into our home full-time because of traveling, but we love to have the company of a pet from time to time. Recently, our youngest has been showing allergy symptoms, so we are only able to watch hypo-allergenic dogs. The dog is treated like our own and spoiled during their stay with us. I work from home with my skincare business, so most of the day, I am home with the pets. We welcome potty trained dogs to our home that do well with children. We can adjust our care style to what makes you most comfortable. I also love to do drop in visits and fill the Rover cards with lots of info and pictures to keep your mind at ease. For these visits, the dogs can be any breed. I work from home and set my schedule, so being a Rover sitter is a nice little extra for me. It is easy to work with and around schedules. We have a large, unfenced backyard. We take dogs on nice walks around our neighborhood. We only board one dog at a time, so it feels like a family setting.
“Cristy was amazing! Her home was so cute and tidy. She has a sweet little dog that played so well with my dog whom normally doesn’t care much for others. Cristy was kind, communicative, and flexible.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Love using Sarah for dog sitting! She is so flexible and I can always count on her with last minute bookings! Frankie leaps out of my arms to go greet her family and pups ❤️ Will continue bringing frankie ❤️”
“Bonnie was great! Our dog and hers had so much fun playing and she accommodated us for a last minute booking. Will definitely book again next time we are in the green Bay area and need pet care 😊”
About: I love taking care of dogs. I will walk your dog in the Spring, Summer and Fall in good weather. Your dog will have my 3 year old Maltese to play with. I’m CPR trained and if needed, with calling you first, take your dog to my home town ER hospital (hope we never need to use that). Your dog must be potty trained for outside. My grandchildren all love dogs, they visit sometimes. I have been with dogs all my life. So rest assured I’ll take care of your dog while I take care of mine and my grandchildren. I will have play time and potty breaks. Will try to teach your dog new tricks. I’ve taken training classes with Pet Smart. You won’t regret placing your pet with me.
“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.”
About: Please read the entire profile. I did grow up with a Dalmatian dog. My dad was a firefighter, and came home with Pepper Christmas morning. My sister had a mini goldendoodle. I would stop daily after work around 3:45pm to play and take walks. I took a separation package from my employer 5/1/25 and now would like to offer walks, daycare, drop in visits and boarding . With boarding, For larger dogs, they WILL be crated at night. Your dog will be crated when I play pickleball in the mornings. I do have a crate(s). Please note if sending a request there may be a delay in responding due to pickleball between 9:30 - 12:30 approximate times. I currently have two dog walking appointments from 11:45am -1:45pm Monday-Thursday. Having retired 5/1/25, I have the time to provide loving care, playtime and walks with your pet. I will provide pictures and updates to you. No fence but can play fetch in the front/backyard or take your dog to dog park if they are ok with it. Please provide details or special needs. I look forward to providing belly rubs, snuggles and loving care.
“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!”
About: I and my family are available to take care of your pet during the day, overnight, whenever is needed! We have owned several dogs and cats over our lifetimes and have taken care of many peoples pets. We have a deep passion for animals and will give your pet the very best care. We have been very active with Rover and have owned dogs for roughly 20 years and are only recently without dogs since our last one passed away a few years ago.

Please feel free to contact me to reserve the days you need pet sitting or other services. I have a fenced yard to keep your dog happy and entertained. If your dog needs to be crated when no one is home, please provide the crate.
“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: I grew up with cats, dogs, cows, goats etc. so I have always been around and taking care of animals. I regularly take care of friends and families dogs/cats and am very patient. I used to work in nursing and most recently as a chemist, but am looking for supplemental animal love and interactions! I have availability and flexibility as needed Sunday through the week. I can do mornings, evenings or afternoons. I can accommodate most changes as this is my primary work. I have a closed in backyard and basement. I have two cats that can be separated or blocked off to separate areas of the house.
About: I grew up around cats and have been living with dogs since I was 20. My first experience with dogs was my roommates/bestfriends Rottweiler. I knew the dogvtill the day he died. I got my first dog when I was around 30, a Saint Bernard. He pasted away July 2021, he was my best buddy. He suffered from cancer his last months and needed lots of special care. I have no problems caring for senior dogs, big dogs, active dogs, lazy dogs or puppies! I have experience managing multiple large breed dogs at the same time. I currently am unemployed as I just moved to Bremerton(to be with my girlfriend) a few weeks ago. I love dogs, they are my favorite. I treat dogs with respect and kindness. Lots of playtime, petting, and walks. If the dog is looking for attention I will give it to them. I lived with a Saint Bernard, there was no ignoring him!
“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: 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.
“We are fortunate to have Annie on an on-going basis to visit our dog Molly for potty breaks and walks while we are at work. Annie always responds promptly to any communication, questions or booking inquiries. When she visits Molly she leaves a detailed log about the visit. It's obvious that Annie loves pets and she goes above and beyond to give Molly love, affection, attention, exercise and an outdoor break each visit. When Annie is scheduled to visit, we know Molly will receive great care and a needed break and that gives us tremendous peace of mind. We love Annie!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with unique needs, including reactivity and behavioral challenges. I rescued my Australian Cattle Dog when she was three years old and have spent years training her and learning how to safely and compassionately manage reactivity around other animals and, at times, children. Through this experience, I’ve developed strong skills in reading animal body language, using positive reinforcement, and creating calm, structured environments. I truly love all animals and understand that every pet is different. I've taken care of friends and families pets in the past and I always have the absolute best time! I’m patient, attentive, and committed to providing the best possible care while you’re away, making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I’m currently in my last semester college, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility in my schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my days, and I can give animals the attention they deserve. Spending time with furry friends is honestly the best way to spend time between and after class! I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and respect the rules and preferences set by their owner. I take the time to understand feeding schedules, play habits, and any specific instructions so that everyone feels comfortable and at ease. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for pets.
About: I owned a dog for over a decade, and babysat dogs/ cats many times. I worked with animals at a zoo so I’m good at reading them and respecting their boundaries! I work second shift (3-11pm) M-F so check ins would work best for those days. I can still dog/cat sit during the weekdays if you’re are okay with your pets being alone for a full shift, or being watched by my parents (while pets are boarded at our house). My weekends are completely open! I have a large backyard and tennis court. I also live near a very nice bike trail for long walks. I have no other animals in the house. I have ramps for small/old dogs.
About: I’ve worked with variety of species, specializing with dogs! I have skills with grooming and training. I have 4 of my own dogs and do dog sports as well! I work from home so I have extra time to care for your pets and am able to move around my schedule. Saturdays are the only days I may not be able to take same day bookings! I understand crate and gate management and will make sure your animals are happy and healthy! As of right now I can’t offer boarding in my own home but maybe in the future
About: Several years of experience with out pay. I have been around pups and dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. I am extremely great with animals. I promise to take care of your family member just as I would my own. Mine are most likely better taken care of then most people's children! I am very efficient, caring and wear my heart on my sleeve. I also have fostered animals in need. You will be nothing less than happy with my services. I am used to working with large animals to small animals. I want to be able to make the animals feel like they are at home when they see me walking through the door. I hope this all helps you when considering me.
About: I am specialized in training all types of dogs! I make sure that the dog is taken care of and is having a blast while the parents are gone! I am very outgoing, active, and good at communicating. I currently work part time as a server so I am available whenever just may have to step away for a couple hours to waitress. I have tons of grass area at my house, and have a ton of room as well for the dog to move around and play when needed!
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: 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! 🧽🐾
About: Hello. My name is Kirsten. Thank you for considering me to take care of your fur baby(ies). I have been pet sitting for three or more years. In 2014, I had fought my phobia. I had a fear of dogs which I continued to fight. After two years, I started to volunteer bringing therapy dogs to nursing homes and I even started pet sitting an english Mastiff, Golden retriever and three cats. I have found my love for dogs and cats and continue to petsit. I also go on fun walks with dogs. I also have taken care of rabbits as well.

I am currently babysitting from 7:30am to 1pm on weekdays and I work 5a to 5p on Saturdays. I have open availability besides those times. I don’t provide boarding in my own home but when I am caring for pets in your home, I ask that you please provide to me in writing what medications, feed times, veterinarian numbers, your number, and all other information.

“Anu and her family are wonderful and took amazing care of our Daisy while we were on vacation. It is clear that they love dogs and are very knowledgeable caring for them. Discussed food, meds, routine and behaviors ahead of time. Great communication and appreciated the many photo and video updates while we were away. I would definitely book with Anu again.”
“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!”
“Erika is an angel! First of all she agreed to care for our puppy 2 days after being spayed. Then our puppy did not do well and became ill with diarrhea and vomiting. She kept in close contact with us and continued to care for her. She had to make special food for our pup because of her diarrhea. Erika is just the sweetest person you will meet and she even washed all of the items in her kennel. We can not say enough positive things about her - if you need an angel to take care of your dog baby consider Erika!”
“Emily and her family took great care of my pup! She send lots of pictures and I truly felt like she cared for my dog as her own. Her house was clean and inviting and she was easy to communicate with. I would book with her again!”
“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.”
“Our dog had a great stay with Emily and Bryan. They were wonderful, sending lots of videos and pictures throughout the stay. We knew that our dog was getting exercise, playtime and lots of cuddles! We will definitely book with them in the future!!”
“Melissa and her mother were very welcoming and accommodating for our stay with them. Due to a change in plans on my part, she allowed me to pick up my dog earlier than arranged which was very nice. They notified me of my dog's progress and sent pictures of her stay.”
“Thank you, Shanna, for taking such good care of our pups! We appreciate your easy-going manner and our dogs appreciated the cuddles and care. The toys were a huge hit and a very thoughtful surprise. You were so accommodating and made our trip worry-free. You rock!”
“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!”
“Amazing!!! They sent pics every day, had a really cute house in a great walking neighborhood! Their youngest dog was a great buddy for my high energy doggo! As much as I hate leaving my dog, I would have zero concerns about leaving him with Kelly and their entire family again.”
“For a recent week - long vacation, we left our 3 year old golden doodle with Jeff. This was our first time using Rover and leaving her in someone else's home. After an initial meet and greet, we felt very comfortable with Jeff and Ember loved his fenced in yard. We liked the photo and written updates we received while vacationing. Jeff provided daily walks and outside time. He respected Ember's schedule and tried to maintain her schedule. In addition to our toys and treats, he also provided some. We will definitely use Jeff's boarding for future get aways.”
About: With over 17 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a lifetime of hands‑on knowledge and a genuine love for pets of all ages. I’ve raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years and have helped neighbors for many years with reliable cat‑sitting and general pet‑care support. My background includes basic training skills, experience with a wide range of temperaments, and the ability to provide gentle care for seniors, energetic play for younger dogs, and everything in between. Our home offers a family‑style, country‑living environment where pets can relax and enjoy plenty of space. Dogs have access to both indoor and outdoor dog‑run areas, regular walks, and supervised playtime. Light grooming—such as brushing and simple upkeep—is also available to help your pet feel clean and comfortable throughout their stay. I treat every pet like part of the family and strive to make their time here safe, enriching, and full of the comfort they deserve. I work from home, which allows me to flexibility to help keep a consistent and attentive routine for the pets in my care. Dogs can enjoy potty breaks, playtime, and walks throughout the day, including: • Early‑morning walks • Midday/noon walks • Later‑day or early‑evening walks Your dog will also have 24‑hour access to a safe indoor/outdoor dog run, giving them freedom to stretch, sniff, and relax whenever they’d like. For downtime or pups who prefer structure, I provide a clean, comfortable crate area upon request. My flexible schedule and home setup ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and a calm, country‑style environment throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Our home offers a secure, family‑friendly environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. We provide a fully fenced indoor/outdoor dog run, giving dogs a safe space to explore, stretch, and enjoy fresh country air throughout the day. For structure, naps, or dogs who prefer their own space, I offer a clean and comfortable crate option upon request. Dogs enjoy regular walking options, including strolls around our spacious lawn and yard area, perfect for sniffing, exploring, and getting gentle exercise. Our home is a true family setting, with children who are experienced and respectful around pets, a friendly and playful three‑year‑old Labrador retriever, and a gentle house cat who is calm around visiting animals. This creates a warm, social atmosphere for pets who enjoy companionship and calm routines for those who prefer quieter spaces. I strive to provide a safe, trustworthy, and welcoming environment where every pet feels cared for like one of our own.
“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!”
“Denise is very friendly! She invited us over for a “meet and greet” before we booked and that was super helpful. She kept us up to date with texts and pictures while we were away. Marlo was well taken care of care of, and it was so nice to travel “worry free”. We’d highly recommend and will definitely book again! Thank you so much!”
“We have never boarded our cat before but needed to in order to allow for open house to be held at our home. Korri was communicative, kind, and fair in her pricing. She had an extra room available for our cat who doesn’t always get along with other cats which provided peace of mind leaving our 10yo cat. We received multiple updates and photos every day which further eased our minds. Would definitely book with Korri again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Judy was great. My rather standoffish Mastiff loved the stay. She looked happy and ‘well played with’. She was so happy when I picked her up-it made being gone soooo much easier. Great communication and pics.”
