“I highly recommend Shawn And Joey. Bella warmed up to them right away. Dogs can tell these things. After initial meeting, we had no qualms about boarding. They updated us daily, with photos of walks, dog park, playing with other dogs. When we arrived to pick her up, she wasn't super excited to leave. Thank you for your outstanding care and keeping our minds at ease. We'll definitely bring Bella again when we need long term care.”

Im relieved that I can get away and trust that my dear dear fur child is cared for with such detail. Very grateful we know Nick!!”

Christina B.

“Hannah is the perfect sitter for our dog, whether we need to leave him for a long day or a longer than 2 week period. She clearly has a good understanding of animals in general, creating a calm but stimulating environment, making our pet feel secure and happy. We feel fortunate to have found Hannah as our dog’s home away from home when we can’t take him with us.”

Laurie C.

“Moose loved being at Randee’s so much so that he was hesitant to leave his friends! We loved getting all the updates and pictures of Moose! Thanks Randee!”

I also have a friendly pup that would love to keep yours company and play and walk with! <3

About: I have owned both indoor and outdoor cats throughout my life and have an incredible love for each cat’s unique personality. I’ve been cat-sitting for the past five years and truly enjoy getting to know each new furry friend! I have experience administering medications, caring for cats with different needs and personalities, and providing plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I understand that every cat is different—some want lots of cuddles and attention, while others prefer their space and a little time to warm up. I’m happy to meet your cat wherever they are most comfortable. When I care for your cat, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your kitty is doing well! I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets, and I would love the opportunity to provide your cat with a comfortable, caring experience while you’re away.

“Skylar is awesome and very kind I immediately felt comfortable & trust in her, which felt great as I can enjoy a much needed getaway! Skylar, handled things really well with both my cats and household. Apparently it didn’t take long for my cats to sense Skylar could be trusted and came out for her! I can’t express my gratitude enough to finally having someone like Skylar☺️ Thank you Rover for the connection with Skylar! Thank you Skylar for your compassion and your love for animals because Dusti & Graci knew it & I could see it!!”

Jerry S.

“Becky was so wonderful! She stopped in twice a day to watch our cat Percy while we were away and she took great care of him. She went above and beyond, playing with him, sending updates, and gave us complete peace of mind that he was being well taken care of. Percy definitely misses her since we have come home, he seems even more playful after her visits. We are so thankful to Becky and highly recommend her!”

About: I've owned cats my entire life. I'm currently retired and able to care for your animals as my own. Currently a parent to two male cats, Benny and Jimmy.

About: I’ve had two dogs growing up, a mini boxer and a French bulldog. I’ve cared for them all my life. I have bathed, walked, fed, and gave them so much love. We got our Puppy when I was 14, so I have a lot of experience caring for puppies as well. I didn’t grow up in a home with cats, but I love them too. I’ve had lots of experience cat sitting and get along with them well too! I am a masters student at UW-Stevens Point, in the Natural Resources department. I will not be able to provide services mid day Fridays or Mondays, but I am flexible the rest of the week! I will always follow your directions and keep a good baseline of contact with you! I am not allowed to board pets in my apartment, but I will always be respectful of your space as well.

About: I've taking care of dog for a year plus now. My friends and family trust and relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and have their pets stay overnight at my house. My house is especially a good environment for dog because my yard is fenced and the dog have their own furniture and their own room. I'm currently a stay at home dog mom and a bake at home so I have plenty of time to play and walk your pet which I love doing. My yard is fenced and I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company while he/she is here. I have plenty of toys and treats available for the dogs as well.

“Christy was able to take Nala on for daycare very quickly! Nala came home tired every day and really enjoyed spending time at Christys! Christy was honest, gave great feedback on Nalas day, and made us feel super safe dropping our fur baby off every day!”

Erica S.

“Due to a family emergency, I needed last minute doggie daycare, but my regular provider was already booked. Leora allowed me to meet her on short notice. Thankfully, Leora and her fur babies, Kiwi and Daisy, made my boy, Toby, feel right at home. My boy seems happy to go to his new friends' home and content when he returns home. I trust Leora to watch after my fur kid and I do not trust easily. Thank you, Leora, for being a genuine pet lover.”

Connie Y.

“Brandi is amazing! I needed a sitter at the last minute until my husband was released from the hospital and we live 1 and 1/2 hour’s from hospital so we were in a jam. Brandi was so nice and accommodating! My dog Auggie had a great time! It’s just he needed. Thanks again Brandi! ❤️”

About: Having grown up on a farm, I have been around dogs and other animals all of my life. I love all animals and have a special fondness for dogs. I will treat your dog like my own. Please let me know about any special needs your dog has, from dietary restrictions to behavioral concerns-I am very accommodating and will do my best to make the transition from your house to mine as seamless as possible and would like your help in understanding how best to do that for your dog. Please include the following in your care instructions and/or inquiry if they apply: - Food or environmental allergies - Toy or treat restrictions - Any history of destructive behavior - Any history of reactivity (such as barking/lunging on leash, guarding food or toys, or uncontrollable excitement) towards other animals or humans - Any history of separation anxiety - Any other special needs, likes or dislikes that I should be aware of I work from home much of the time during the week so am available for doggy daycare or boarding often during the week in addition to weekends. I am able to crate your pet if that is what they are used to for during the night. Please bring their crate with you and any other items they feel comfortable with while crated.

Lynn & Earl G.

“It was our first time ever using Rover. We needed to find someone to watch Gunner in a pinch when we found out we weren’t allowed to leave him alone in the hotel room that was ‘dog friendly’ 2 nights before a wedding. Hannah was available to watch him and she was only 10 minutes away from the venue. She was amazing and sent us pictures and was very accommodating for the pickup time. We would definitely recommend. Thank you!”

Nicole R.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and ferrets since I was very young. I’m a civil engineer, but I love spending time with and taking care of animals more than anything! I take care of my friends’ and family’s pets all the time! I have a husky mix named Nirvana and a cat named Murphy. My english springer spaniel, Bowie, passed away last year from cancer. I’m experienced with walking dogs that are very strong and pull hard so you don’t have to worry about that being an issue! I’d be honored to be chosen to take care of your pet; I know how much my pets mean to me and I’ll make sure to take care of your pets as if they were my own! I currently don’t have a job, so I’m available to help take care of your pets whenever needed! I’m fine with early morning or late night care, and I can stop by as many times as needed! I’m willing and able to do anything for your pets at your home! My dog is slightly reactive so unfortunately I won’t be able to provide services at my own home.

About: Hello! My name is Ella, and I recently moved back to Wausau after graduating from college in Montana. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Natural Horsemanship, a horse-training method focused on understanding animal behavior and building a relationship based on communication and trust. My degree also included coursework in animal health, animal husbandry, and classes taught by both large- and small-animal veterinarians. My Fiancé, Cooper, also earned a degree in Natural Horsemanship with a minor in ranch management. Like me, he has spent much of his life around animals and is comfortable caring for a variety of pets and following specific care instructions. I grew up on a hobby farm and have had horses nearly my entire life. Dogs have always been part of the family, too—we’ve had everything from Labs and bird dogs to little Jack Russells! I currently have an energetic Blue Heeler who loves joining me on horseback rides and hikes. I’ve also grown up caring for a wide variety of animals, including parrots, dogs, cats, horses, fish, and even a squirrel! This experience has taught me that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I started my own dog-sitting business in high school and continued pet sitting throughout college in Montana. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and fish, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. I am also comfortable administering medications and providing specialized care when needed. Just let me know what your pet needs, and I’ll do my best to make it happen! My goal isn’t just to make sure your pet is fed and cared for—it’s to make sure they are happy, comfortable, safe, and enjoying their time while you’re away. I want you to be able to relax and enjoy your weekend or vacation knowing your animals are in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) family members! I work part time and on my own schedule - I run a small horse training and lesson program from home. I can easily fit pet care in throughout my daily routine and am very flexible. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual needs while treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own. Before each booking, I like to learn about your pet’s normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. I follow those routines as closely as possible so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you’re away. I am attentive to safety and make sure doors, gates, crates, and other areas are secure, and I’m careful to follow any instructions regarding your pet’s access to the home or yard. I’m also comfortable administering medications and providing additional care when needed. I want you to feel completely comfortable while you’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

“Skylar is very flexible with our schedule. Tilly is very happy when I get home after her walks with Skylar! Skylar was very easy to create a plan with when she first came to visit. The house is always cleaned up after Tilly's indoor playtime, too! I would highly recommend her! Thank you, Skylar!”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover who enjoys spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and pay close attention to their routines, energy levels, and personalities. I have experience with high energy and dogs with arthritis and other conditions, i also have experience with cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm environment, I adjust to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m patient, responsible, and always focused on keeping pets safe and stress-free. I also believe its good for the animal to have trust in the person watching over them I can also help with: * Walks and exercise * Feeding and fresh water * Playtime and companionship * Basic grooming/brushing * Potty breaks and cleanup * Photo and message updates while you’re away I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week.

“I had an amazing first experience using the Rover app with Melissa! Chopper seemed comfortable, happy, and well taken care of the entire time. Melissa communicated incredibly well and sent lots of updates and pictures, which gave me a peace of mind. She was also very sweet, flexible with her availability, and active with Chopper. Melissa took Chopper on several long walks, and it was clear he had a great time with her. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring, active, and reliable sitter. I look forward to booking with her again for Chopper in the future!”
