“Christine is the absolute best. She made us feel very comfortable with leaving our pup and was awesome about keeping us updated. I think our dog liked being with Christine more than at home! It was such a blessing finding such an amazing dog sitter!!!”
“Kristin & family provided attentive & thorough care for our energetic puppy! Receiving regular updates was appreciated, as was their clear & responsive communication.”
“Huge thanks to Laura and Shadow for taking such great care of our pup while we were out of town! It gave us such peace of mind knowing that he was safe, loved and having a wonderful time. And we loved all the adorable updates. Thank you!!”
“Boomer had a great time with Dan! We appreciate that he took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand and showed us around the space. When we picked Boomer up, it was clear he had a good time and really tuckered out! Thanks again Dan.”
“Super nice family and home with fenced yard. We needed someone on short notice due to a family emergency. Katie and Samuel offered to be flexible with our return date which we greatly appreciated. Juneau seemed to have done fine.”
“Ryan and Martha took wonderful care of my dog. They treated her as a member of their family. They took her for walks and sent daily pictures. I will certainly ask them to care for Ella again when needed.”
“Nicole has a lovely house in a nice neighborhood. She sent me updates on my dog, with pictures and was able to take the dog for daily walks. I'm in between jobs and this was a most affordable great quality yet homely option.”
“We left our dog Toffee with Jenny and her family for 5 days while we attended a work conference, and we could not have asked for a better experience! This was our first time using Rover and leaving Toffee with someone we didn’t know, so we were definitely nervous at first. Jenny immediately made us feel comfortable with constant updates, pictures, and videos throughout the entire stay. Toffee had the absolute best time running around in her huge backyard, playing with her kids and her two dogs, and getting so much love and attention. It truly felt like he was treated as part of their family. You can tell Jenny genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing Toffee was happy, safe, and so well cared for. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be booking with Jenny and her lovely family again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle (and family) took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town for 2 days, even keeping her calm during a storm. Great communication, too!”
“Emily was great with our big, young and very energetic dog! She has a great fenced in yard and our dog had a blast! He was very tired when he got home! We would definitely use her again!”
“We had a wonderful experience! This family took excellent care of our mini goldendoodle while we were on vacation—so kind, attentive, and thoughtful. They sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us total peace of mind and showed he was happy and having fun. Highly recommend!”
“Fabulous! Mack gave her 4 paws up and he would have given her more but he only has 4 paws. He has been online trying one to buy me more airline trips so he can go back to Steph and live the good life. Can’t praise her enough. Deb Spencley”
“AMAZING!!! Lindsey is a very sweet person and an incredible dog care taker. We left for a family trip for few days and our dog stayed with her. We did not have any worries. We got updates from her daily and our dog had so much fun playing with Lindsey’s dog. Great communication too. If I could, I would give her 10 stars!!!”
“Robert was a wonderful dog sitter. He truly loves dogs and took great care of Murphy. He took him on numerous walks every day. He kept us updated with pictures. He was always quick to reply and very accommodating. We would definitely use him again!!”
“Emily and her family were so great with Jarvis! They sent plenty of update pictures and he seemed to have an amazing time!! We will definitely be looking to have them take care of Jarvis again :)”
“I wish I could stay with Jodi, her loving care and beautiful home and safe yard are absolute heaven!! It is obvious from the moment you meet Jodi that she Loves dogs and that she is a gentle and kind person. Her home and garden is designed for dogs comfort and safety and would make any dog feel at home. While we were away Jodi sent photos and movies several times daily and we could see how happy and at home our buddies were. Our dogs are like children and I am so grateful to Jody for giving them a home away from our home and for giving us peace of mind. Nothing could be more precious!!”

About: I have had my own pets since college, but grew up with dogs. I’ve had a range of dogs from border collies, to labs, to Great Danes, to Basset hounds. I also have had numerous cats. All of my dogs have lived long, exceptionally spoiled lives, and I follow current dog training suggestions for behavior. I’ve raised a few litters of Danes, and most recently, a litter of Bassets. I have a full time job during the week so am really only available on weekends, but depending on location, exceptions can be made especially if it is for just check-ins. I’m willing to come to your home and follow your pet rules so your pets stay comfortable and safe, and don’t have their routine disrupted.

All critters lodging are fed seperatedly and are taken for daily walks. Couches and beds are pet zones and we want all guests to feel at home, comfortable and secure.

“Hillary looked after my three kitties while I was away on the holidays. She made sure my babies got some affection while also checking that everything was in order! :)”

I’ve cared for cats with all kinds of personalities — from playful and outgoing to shy cats who need a little extra patience and comfort. Through both personal and professional experience, I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, giving medications if needed, and understanding cat behavior and body language. I truly love earning a cat’s trust and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away 🐾

About: Hi! I’m Kasi and I live in Mineral Point, WI I've grown up with pets my entire life. After losing my dog Lacey in 2021, it's felt quite strange not having a pet close by. I've taken care of both dogs and cats for over 4 years. Neighbors family and friends have counted on me to walk, feed, and make sure they go to the bathroom. I also work part time at a local pet daycare center so I've gotten to know pets very quickly. Each pet I've cared for has left their pawprint on my heart in some way shape or form-and forever will! I currently work remotely in Mineral Point, and also work full time for a non profit organization. I am able to stop by if you ever need me to. I have stayed at family homes to provide care for pets. I adhere to any instructions provided by each pet owner to ensure they maintain the same schedule before, during and after my stay. I ensure to maintain constant communication with pet owners, and let them know how their pet is doing.

I would love to give you peace of mind in making sure your cat is well cared for and looked after when you are away from home.
About: I have always been a cat lover. I grew up with a cat in my home and ever since, I’ve loved having them around. I would estimate I’ve taken care of 20-30 cats for friends and family throughout my adulthood, mostly in their homes.
“Mackena did a great job with my kitties ! We had a meet & greet prior to my trip so she could meet the girls and get a "lay of the land". She was great about providing lots of wonderful pictures and detailed updates the whole time I was away. It gave me great peace of mind to know they were getting positive attention. Would definitely book with Mackena again!”
About: I have had a passion for dogs since I’ve been 11. I have been walking, help train, and taking care of dogs for some time now I love everything to do with animals!

Right away in the mornings the dogs get taken outside, then it’s breakfast, and then outside some more!

About: My name is Gina. I have pet sat and worked in doggy daycares for several years. I enjoy the reprieve of being around and interacting with animals.

“We used to have Leonardo stay in his crate while we were at work, but we knew he deserved something better. After looking through several profiles, Jamie really stood out. Once we read more about her, we felt confident Leo would have an amazing time with her and her dogs. Now he comes home completely tired and even falls asleep in the car, which says everything! Jamie is so kind and welcoming. we couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for him. We would absolutely recommend her. Thank you, Jamie, for treating Leo like your own while we’re at work!”
“Lindsey was great! Super professional with a nice open yard setup for our pup. She was extremely prepared, clean, and fantastic with communication. Our pup seemed happy as a clam when we picked him up! 10/10, highly recommend”
“Kristin and Bruce provided exceptional daycare services. My senior dog initially had anxiety being in a different home. Kristen and Bruce were very attentive and made her feel comfortable.”
“Martha is so great, she accommodated us last minute which was so helpful! She sent update pictures which I really appreciate! Uma was in great care and had fun with her boys. They took her for walks and played with her. I’d recommend Martha and her family :)”
“Gen hosted our pup on his first birthday and went out of her way to make him feel special on his big day. It definitely put this worrying puppy mom at ease knowing he was having such a fantastic time with Sasha and Gen while we were gone. His face always perks up when we pull into their driveway and he never wants to leave!”

“Jenny and Darin were great! They provided updates throughout the day and took great care of our slightly anxious puppy :) Will definitely book with them again!”
“Kate is amazing! Not only does she send you updates but she also is consistent with the training you and your dog are working on. She treated my dog like it was her own and I feel like my dog is so safe with her. Definitely going to Kate again!”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with Marley’s experience with Joyce. Joyce was very good about sending photos that really reassured us that Marley was getting along nicely. Marley was so well-cared for and had such a good time! In fact, Marley laid down outside the car, as we tried to leave, as if to say, “Aw gee, do we have to go home already?””
“Nelly had a great time with Priyanka! Sometimes Nelly is timid in new situations but she seemed comfortable with Pri right away. We appreciated receiving some cute pictures of the fun times she was having, with walks and cuddles and lots of attention. We will definitely rebook with Pri the next time Nelly needs day care or boarding!”
“Brenda and her girls are dog whispers. They collected our dog, who has bad separation anxiety and he instantly warmed to them, which never happens! They shared lots of photos of him too! When they dropped him off, he was in a happy playful mood, so we knew he had a great time!”
“Elena was my first Rover experience—she really exceeded my expectations! She sent status updates and pictures throughout my pup’s visit, and he really enjoyed playtime with the other dogs. I definitely would love to bring my dog back the next time I need someone to watch him. Thanks so much for making it great for us!”

About: I love dogs! Let me cuddle and love your dog while you’re away! I love to stay active outside and take walks/jogs outdoors. Before committing to a dog myself, I want to experience some of the restrictions that come with having a dog (being home immediately after work/during the day to let the dog out in normal non-Covid times, not staying out too late on the weekends, etc). Hopefully I can use Rover to get my dog fix until I’m able to make the decision to get my own dog. I have severe cat allergies and am allergic to some large dogs, which is why I favor small dogs. I prefer non-shedding dogs to keep my allergies in check. Reach out if you have questions!

I also have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate short-notice bookings, making things easy for busy pet parents.

I'm happy to schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet ahead of time to make sure everyone feels comfortable. Please feel free to ask any questions about my services—I believe in open communication and want you to feel completely confident that your furry family member is in good hands while you're away.

About: Hi my name is Jasira (Ja-Sigh-rah) and I am a loving puppy mama who is an all around pet lover! Those big doggie eyes just melt my heart every time. If your pet is staying at with me, they will feel like they are part of our family. Your pup will receive the same love and attention I give to my puppy and will be handled with extreme care. If you’re a cat lover you’re definitely want to book with me. Your pretty kitty will get all the love or space they want. I work from home so it is very easy for me to social distance.

He is always kept up to date with his shot records, flea/tick prevention, and everything that makes a happy healthy pup. In your pet's care bag, I mainly need to have your pet's food, favorite toy, and leash & poop bags. Other things you can include are food/water bowls, brush and any specific treats. Your pet must be clean upon drop off. Unfortunately if not, you must be willing to pay grooming fees or cancel our booking.

I’m happy to accommodate any specific needs or schedules that your dog may follow. Since I work from home I am able to walk my dog three times a day, play and have time for play. Treats of course are involved(with permission). I walk my dog in our neighborhood. It is very safe and there are lots of other friendly dogs to say hi to. I make sure to have my dog on a leash prior to opening any doors. In Yoshi’s playhouse all dogs are carefully watched and protected.

“Christine is the absolute best. She made us feel very comfortable with leaving our pup and was awesome about keeping us updated. I think our dog liked being with Christine more than at home! It was such a blessing finding such an amazing dog sitter!!!”
“Kristin & family provided attentive & thorough care for our energetic puppy! Receiving regular updates was appreciated, as was their clear & responsive communication.”
“Huge thanks to Laura and Shadow for taking such great care of our pup while we were out of town! It gave us such peace of mind knowing that he was safe, loved and having a wonderful time. And we loved all the adorable updates. Thank you!!”
“Boomer had a great time with Dan! We appreciate that he took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand and showed us around the space. When we picked Boomer up, it was clear he had a good time and really tuckered out! Thanks again Dan.”
“Ryan and Martha took wonderful care of my dog. They treated her as a member of their family. They took her for walks and sent daily pictures. I will certainly ask them to care for Ella again when needed.”
“Nicole has a lovely house in a nice neighborhood. She sent me updates on my dog, with pictures and was able to take the dog for daily walks. I'm in between jobs and this was a most affordable great quality yet homely option.”
“Michelle (and family) took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town for 2 days, even keeping her calm during a storm. Great communication, too!”
“Emily was great with our big, young and very energetic dog! She has a great fenced in yard and our dog had a blast! He was very tired when he got home! We would definitely use her again!”
“Fabulous! Mack gave her 4 paws up and he would have given her more but he only has 4 paws. He has been online trying one to buy me more airline trips so he can go back to Steph and live the good life. Can’t praise her enough. Deb Spencley”
“AMAZING!!! Lindsey is a very sweet person and an incredible dog care taker. We left for a family trip for few days and our dog stayed with her. We did not have any worries. We got updates from her daily and our dog had so much fun playing with Lindsey’s dog. Great communication too. If I could, I would give her 10 stars!!!”
“Robert was a wonderful dog sitter. He truly loves dogs and took great care of Murphy. He took him on numerous walks every day. He kept us updated with pictures. He was always quick to reply and very accommodating. We would definitely use him again!!”
“Emily and her family were so great with Jarvis! They sent plenty of update pictures and he seemed to have an amazing time!! We will definitely be looking to have them take care of Jarvis again :)”
“Ryan, Krista and the rest of the family take great care of our pups. We’ve used them twice (so far) and will likely use them for future trips. Very comfortable recommending them to others. We appreciate that they sent pics and short videos almost every day showing them having a great time at the dog park, playing with Yoyo in the fenced in backyard, and just relaxing with the family.”
“Please read! I will be there first to admit I was skeptical of using Rover. I carefully scanned through profiles of those willing to watch the two dogs we have, a Great Dane and a boxer. Cilyr was so much more than we could have asked for! She and I agreed having a meet and greet prior was a great choice to make sure the dogs would have an easier transition. Cilyr went to every length to ensure she had asked questions we may not have thought of: do the dogs have allergies? Require specific routines? But I was really blown away when she brought to my attention that she does not have a truck large enough for our Great Dane in the event he would need to get to a vet emergently however, she has already arranged with a friend and neighbor that she could borrow theirs should an emergency arise. I knew at that moment She was that absolutely perfect choice to watch our dogs. This was not just a” side gig” for her, she genuinely cares so much for animals and helping others! When I brought the boys back for their week long stay they took about a day and a half to fully adjust. I know this because Cilyr went above and beyond to make sure I knew the boys were doing well and sent pictures! It was so heartwarming to get those little messages and pictures and know our boys were in great hands. Through those pictures you could see our dogs easing into their day and feeling safe and loved. Before we had even returned from our vacation we had discussed that we will hands down take our dogs back to her any time we need to leave them. The personal touches are unmatched to anything we’ve experienced in the past and we will absolutely recommend her every chance we get! Thank you Cilyr!”
“Christina and Jeremy did great with our dog. She hadn't spent a ton of time with other dogs or cats before her stay, but C and J were so confident that it would work out and it did! They were super-responsive while we were gone and sent many sweet photos :) We would absolutely have our pup stay with them again.”
