“What can I say? Melissa was amazing. Needed a sitter for our Weimaraner at the last minute. Needed to leave town for family reasons. Called the usual suspects. They gave me the dog and pony show. No pun. Ridiculous what you got to go through to board your dog these days. A few of my friends and customers recommended Rover. I went on there and checked it out. In about 30 minutes from first seeing it, to signing up, I had already booked Melissa to watch our dog Kaiser. I arranged to bring him over, and she couldn't have been any more sweet. I can really tell that she loves animals. Very cool chick too. Our dog was in good hands the couple days he was there. When we got him back, he was well rested, and had none of the anxiety boarding can bring on. It's great to know I have someone that I can rely on if we leave town for any reason to watch after our pooch. I couldn't recommend her anymore. Thank you!”
“Kristal and Scott did a wonderful job taking care of our Rosie Rae. They kept us updated and sent pics daily. I recommend them highly. Very nice couple and very clean house Will absolutely use them again.”
“Jeff was fantastic with Maggie and Jabba and went above and beyond during their stay. He was incredibly attentive to their individual needs, handled some extra care logistics for me while I was away, followed their instructions closely, and kept me updated throughout the trip. Both dogs came home happy and clearly well cared for. I felt very comfortable having them with Jeff and would absolutely trust him with them again.”
“Holly is wonderful. It’s very obvious that she LOVES dogs-she has 3 of her own that are treated like kings/queens. Our Louie even slept with her daughter in her bed overnight! This means a lot because Lou is a very anxious pup! Highly highly recommend! ? ~Amy Craig”
“Melissa and family were great. Perfect location for me and Winnie had a blast. The daily pics let me know he was in great hands! I am glad I found Melissa and will use her again and again.”
“Heather and her husband were so great with our dog, Sheeva. It was our first Rover experience and we had a wonderful experience with them. They sent photos and updates every day so we could see how she was doing and that was very much appreciated. Sheeva was a happy and tired girl when we picked her up so it was clear she had a great time. We will be booking with Heather again!”
“It was our first time using Angela. Everything seemed neat and organized. Nice fenced yard for the dogs to play. Our dogs seemed happy to see us and were well taken care of. We will use Angela again”
“Shanna was incredible! She took care of our boy somewhat last minute + he honestly had more fun than he would have with us :) If we’re ever in town again, we would gladly leave Zeb in Shanna’s care.”
“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!”
“Mackenzie was wonderful! It was the first time boarding our dog, Riley and we were a little nervous with him being away from home. Mackenzie put our minds at ease. She was so welcoming to us and Riley. We loved getting the updates and pictures from her. We knew Riley was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Mackenzie.”
“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, Duncan, was very comfortable and happy to stay with Denise and her family. They did a wonderful job keeping us updated with his stay and how he was doing. It was nice to see the pictures that she shared with us and from those pictures I felt very good about how Duncan was being taken care of. We really appreciated how they treated him as their own. A big thanks to her and her family!”
“Colleen was a wonderful furmama replacement. We have traveled across the country using Rover along the way and we couldn’t be happier finding her. Any Packers who need a caretaker should look no further. Well even if you aren’t a Packer. ?”
“Nix had a great time at Kerstyn's home. She is a great communicator and updates you frequently. Nix was wore out after 2 days of playing with her 2 pups. They all got along great ! We will use Kerstyn again in the future, Thanks again !”
“I am here amidst a move, not yet settled, and with a ton of work travel. I had to go out of town for four days, and needed care for my dog Ollie who, needless to say, is a bit bewildered by the whole enterprise since we have been living in hotels for a few weeks. I reached out to Kaylyn because of the excellent reviews she already had from several other people. And it was definitely the right choice! Kaylyn and her husband have a dog of their own who is extremely friendly and welcoming of other dogs. Ollie warmed up quickly and did well with Kaylyn and her husband, as well as their dog. He came home safe and happy, and tired! I will absolutely be contacting Kaylyn again for care!”
“Our pup was so happy to be at Breanna and Olivia’s! He loved playing with their dogs. I appreciated all the photos that were shared during his stay. It was clear he was well cared for. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“I absolutly love Alex and her husband. They are very flexible and are wonderful with my boy. They have always welcomed him with open arms and are so easy and a joy to work with. I love getting pictures and updates while I am away and can always trust my boy will have a great time. It's also always a joy to see their two dogs. I know my dog is safe and happy with Alex while I am away.”

“Erin did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats. She administered medicine, feed, watered and gave them comfort while we were on vacation. We highly recommend her.”
“Jenny was amazing with our cats. Our cats are a little spoiled and we play movies for them on YouTube and at some point on Saturday YouTube decided not to work. Jenny found something else to play for them. So thoughtful and went above and beyond. Thank you so much, Jenny!!!!”
“Melanie is the best! She sends plenty of pictures and is quick to let me know if anything changes with her schedule. I was nervous about leaving my cat for a few days while gone on vacation, but I know that she is in good hands with Melanie.”
“Maddy was so amazing!! She communicated super efficiently and quickly, and she also asked any questions she had, so I knew my kitties were getting the best of care! It was such a peace of mind being out of state.”
“Angelica was a perfect house and cat sitter for my 3 high maintenance kitties. Although they never actually told me much about the 9 days Angelica spent with them, they were all healthy and as happy as they get when I returned. Everything was as it should be when we returned, definitely recommend Angie for pet sitting.”
“I was so anxious leaving my two cats while on a two week trip abroad - I’d never been away from them so far or for so long. It took a couple of days, but then they warmed right up to Jeanne. She had tuned into what they needed and provided consistent care - along with great updates and photos from each visit for me - allowing me to focus on my trip. When I returned, I found two happy, well-adjusted cats waiting for me. It was such a relief to know they were in such good hands with Jeanne!”
“Jeffery came for a drop by visit on short notice and did a wonderful job making Rio feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend him and will certainly be requesting his services again.”
“Eleanor was exceptional! Sweet, personable and eager to learn how to give our kitty her insulin injections! She came to our house 4 times on her own to practice and make sure we were both comfortable. She learned and practiced outside of our scheduled vacation times! Our kitty has multiple issues that were all handled with love and compassion. I can’t believe we found such an angel! Absolutely amazing. I will use her again and again and recommend her to everyone I know❤️”
“Breanna is exactly the person you need to care for your pet! She was flexible as we needed her last minute since our other sitter didn’t work out. She loved our kitten as her own. She took sweet photos and videos which helped when missing our baby. Her messages were detailed, and you could tell she got to know the personality of our kitten! Would highly recommend Breanna and would definitely have her as our sitter again!”
“This was our second time to use Zalexis's services to house sit and care for our cat and we were just as pleased this time as we were the first! She's always quick to respond to messages and send pictures. We returned to a happy cat and everything spic and span. Thanks again for a job well done!”
“Carly is great! She did drop in visits with my two cats while I was out of town for 4 days. She sent me a lot of pictures and videos during her visits. The kitties were so happy when I returned home and I felt great about letting them stay in their own home!”

“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.”
“Melinda was amazing dog sitter! She watched my dog for three days in a row. I dropped her off off each morning, and she was so happy and excited to go back every day. Melinda sent me regular pictures and videos, which gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”
“Always a joy to have Shanna watch my little Doodle. She takes care of him so well. His little tummy was upset so she made him some chicken amd rice to settle his belly. She asked me first.to see if it was ok. Love having her with my dog”

About: PLEASE read the Entire profile as it contains details of my daily activity while I care for your dog. I grew 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 . During your boarding, Larger dog's 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 11:30 - 2:00pm Monday-Thursday. Your pet will be crated during this time. I have the time to provide loving care, playtime and walks with your pet. I will provide pictures and updates to you. Looking forward to having your dog while you are away 🐾🦴 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.
“Shelby, her family and thier dogs welcomed Nala in on short notice and treated her like one of their own. This was our first experience leaving our puppy with a non-family member and we couldn’t be more happy. Shelby’s home is filled with love and we couldn’t have been more pleased with her care of Nala. We will definitely use Shelby again!”
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!
“We had the same dog sitter for 3 1/2 years, when she told us she could no longer watch Peyton. I was crushed and didn't know how I could find a new sitter that I could trust. I read just about every Rover option in the area that met certain criteria. We tried Kaylyn for the first time and Peyton came home a happy dog. She has a lot of fears having come from a tough background before we adopted her, so she would show fear if it didn't go well. We plan to use Kaylyn again!”
“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.”
“Mackenzie was an absolute joy to work with! She was highly communicative and we could tell she was very much a dog lover! Muggs had such a great time at her house with her. She asked all the right questions and we felt very comfortable with Mackenzie. Muggs will be back to visit! 😃👍🏼 Thanks Mackenzie!”

About: Hello there! My name is Julia, and I would be honored to care for your pet :) I will send personal pictures to you daily along with updates on how things are going. In my free time, I spend time at the local dog shelter walking dogs of all different behaviors, ages, and breeds. My childhood dog passed away a few years ago, and I realized I find true joy in caring for other dogs- they are my passion! My full time job is dogsitting, and I have a part time cleaning business, so I am very flexible to care for your dog's needs any time throughout the day! I have the luxury of time and flexibility of being available to cater to your dog's needs any time of day. Daily walks are a necessity, and dog is always on a leash outdoors when staying at my house. I want your dog to be the safest and happiest when in my care. Since I have my own cleaning and dogsitting business, I have flexibility all throughout the weekdays and weekends to care for your pet and meet all their needs while they are in my care. I do have a fenced in yard, and so if your dog loves running around outside to work off some energy & fetch a ball or toy, I have the perfect space for that! I also thoroughly enjoy taking dogs on long walks, and have a park nearby my house that is great for walking through.
About: I have had several dogs since I was a child, but my favorites were our German Shepherd, Princess, and our Aussiedoodle, Winston. In high school, I had a part time job working at a doggy daycare and would often take care of my grandparents dogs whenever they were traveling. I have a son at home who is 16 and he too is an animal lover! We’ve discussed getting another pet, but right now, we’re just not ready to make that lifetime commitment. So instead we decided this would be a fun way to get in some doggy playtime, help others, and make a little money to put toward my son’s college fund. I work from home Thursdays and Fridays, with a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your furry family members and take them for walks/runs. We currently do not have a fully fenced backyard, but we do have plenty of backyard space to play in. Depending on the time of day, my son will be home to give him or her some extra cuddles! **I do require that you bring your dog's food when boarding, as introducing a new diet can potentially lead to gastrointestinal upset.**

I feel so much better each time that he is getting the attention he needs and deserves and Amme provides that each and every time.”

“Meg is amazing!!! She has been a total life saver. I work long hours in the health care field and she has been walking Benny everyday during the week . She comes between 11:00-1:00 everyday.

When we got him back, he was well rested, and had none of the anxiety boarding can bring on. It's great to know I have someone that I can rely on if we leave town for any reason to watch after our pooch. I couldn't recommend her anymore. Thank you!”
“Jeff was fantastic with Maggie and Jabba and went above and beyond during their stay. He was incredibly attentive to their individual needs, handled some extra care logistics for me while I was away, followed their instructions closely, and kept me updated throughout the trip. Both dogs came home happy and clearly well cared for. I felt very comfortable having them with Jeff and would absolutely trust him with them again.”
“Holly is wonderful. It’s very obvious that she LOVES dogs-she has 3 of her own that are treated like kings/queens. Our Louie even slept with her daughter in her bed overnight! This means a lot because Lou is a very anxious pup! Highly highly recommend! ? ~Amy Craig”
“Melissa and family were great. Perfect location for me and Winnie had a blast. The daily pics let me know he was in great hands! I am glad I found Melissa and will use her again and again.”
“Heather and her husband were so great with our dog, Sheeva. It was our first Rover experience and we had a wonderful experience with them. They sent photos and updates every day so we could see how she was doing and that was very much appreciated. Sheeva was a happy and tired girl when we picked her up so it was clear she had a great time. We will be booking with Heather again!”
“It was our first time using Angela. Everything seemed neat and organized. Nice fenced yard for the dogs to play. Our dogs seemed happy to see us and were well taken care of. We will use Angela again”
“Shanna was incredible! She took care of our boy somewhat last minute + he honestly had more fun than he would have with us :) If we’re ever in town again, we would gladly leave Zeb in Shanna’s care.”
“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!”
“Mackenzie was wonderful! It was the first time boarding our dog, Riley and we were a little nervous with him being away from home. Mackenzie put our minds at ease. She was so welcoming to us and Riley. We loved getting the updates and pictures from her. We knew Riley was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Mackenzie.”
“Shelby was great. Without hesitation, she was more than willing to accommodate our goldendoodle with his daily medication schedule. She provided frequent updates while we were away and made is away of any possible concerns.”
“Our dog, Duncan, was very comfortable and happy to stay with Denise and her family. They did a wonderful job keeping us updated with his stay and how he was doing. It was nice to see the pictures that she shared with us and from those pictures I felt very good about how Duncan was being taken care of. We really appreciated how they treated him as their own. A big thanks to her and her family!”
“Nix had a great time at Kerstyn's home. She is a great communicator and updates you frequently. Nix was wore out after 2 days of playing with her 2 pups. They all got along great ! We will use Kerstyn again in the future, Thanks again !”
“I am here amidst a move, not yet settled, and with a ton of work travel. I had to go out of town for four days, and needed care for my dog Ollie who, needless to say, is a bit bewildered by the whole enterprise since we have been living in hotels for a few weeks. I reached out to Kaylyn because of the excellent reviews she already had from several other people. And it was definitely the right choice! Kaylyn and her husband have a dog of their own who is extremely friendly and welcoming of other dogs. Ollie warmed up quickly and did well with Kaylyn and her husband, as well as their dog. He came home safe and happy, and tired! I will absolutely be contacting Kaylyn again for care!”
“Our pup was so happy to be at Breanna and Olivia’s! He loved playing with their dogs. I appreciated all the photos that were shared during his stay. It was clear he was well cared for. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“I absolutly love Alex and her husband. They are very flexible and are wonderful with my boy. They have always welcomed him with open arms and are so easy and a joy to work with. I love getting pictures and updates while I am away and can always trust my boy will have a great time. It's also always a joy to see their two dogs. I know my dog is safe and happy with Alex while I am away.”
“I would definitely recommend Todd as a sitter! He took my dog for walks and she enjoyed playing in their fenced yard. My dog had an operation recently and was still on antibiotics every 12 hours. Todd made sure she got her medicine on time and texted me after each dose to let me know she got it. He also sent pictures and kept me updated with how she was settling in. Very happy with her stay with Todd and his family.”
