“Brandi and her family are awesome! My husband & I went on a 5-day trip and needed care for our two dogs, about 70 lbs each. The initial meet-and-greet went well and we knew they would be in good hands. Our bloodhound/basset hound mix has occasional seizures (once per 3-6 months) and Brandi was comfortable with that, thankfully. Brandi has a big fenced backyard where the dogs worked out their energy. Daily photos and updates made us confident that our boys were happy and enjoying their stay. Our pups actually slept in bed with Brandi like they do at home! Ha! We will definitely be contacting Brandi again and absolutely recommend her!”
“Stacy welcomed my dog into her house and treated him as her own. Rudy loved playing and snuggling with her family! She communicated well and made sure she understood his needs. I will use Stacy again.”
About: I've been a dog owner for as long as I can remember. I currently have one nine year old Chihuahua mix on seizure medicine twice a day. We have a fenced in yard with a chain link fence perfect for letting your dog run around. I am usually up by 5am to go for a run or cycle. I work from home regularly so I can be flexible with letting the dogs out. I have a fenced in yard with one friendly dog of my own to keep your dog company. I have cameras in the home to keep an eye on the pups if I do need to run out.
“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sarah accommodated our last-minute request to watch our 3-month-old puppy for two days. Rip and Mayla were so friendly and playful when we stopped by for a meet and greet. And Sarah's obvious expertise and calm demeanor made it clear that this was a good fit for us. She was always quick with responses, sent daily updates with several pictures spanning the course of the day, and gave a very thorough rundown of how our puppy did his entire time there when we arrived to pick him up. It was clear that she had his best interests at heart. And any time we need a puppy sitter, she will be the first person we contact. 10/10 Highly recommend.”
“Brittany was very sweet and easy going. She took excellent care of our dog and sent picture updates while we were gone. We will definitely contact her in the future when we need pet sitting again!”
About: I had a golden-lab for 6 years until we lost him to cancer earlier this year. My kiddos and I miss him a ton and would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby until we are ready to get another dog of our own. I work fully from home so I have a lot of flexibility all week and any weekends we are home/available as well. I am confident your pet would have LOTS of love and attention! I have a nice fenced in yard and great neighborhood available for daily walks. We have a great safe space to care for your pet!
“5 stars!! ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 💫 ⭐️ Jessica is amazing! She graciously dealt with our uncertain and hetic schedules. She went over and above, driving to my home to pick my dog up. Even when he was initially bashful/scared, she waited and took extra time. Gave him extra love and care, car rides, treats, and nap time together. I felt he was safe, content, and at ease while in Jessica’s home. We will definitely be hiring her again!!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She updated daily and made sure our babies were so well taken care of. She went above and beyond and I’m so grateful we chose to book with her. I will absolutely be booking her for any future needs for our pups.”
“Emily and her family gave our 4-month old puppy all the love and attention one can hope for when leaving a furry friend for the day. He got to play in a fenced yard with other dogs and came home nice and tired. We’ll definitely book with her again in the future!”
“My puppy had such a good time!!! My girl is very shy and nervous around strangers but Chanse and her family were so sweet and good with her!! Would 100% go back any time I need a dog sitter!”
About: My husband and I are frequently taking care of our grand pups! Both 4 years old. We treat them like our own. One’s a chocolate lab, the other is a dachshund. I am an early riser. I get my morning exercise done then am pretty free the rest of the day. With the exception of an occasional appointment here and there. We do not have a fenced yard but would do daily walks. We have a path near our home. We also have lots of dog toys.
“Sumer was perfect! This is my first time using Rover and I was very apprehensive leaving my baby with someone I did not know. From the very first message, I felt more and more comfortable. When the time came to drop Raven off, I saw how she reacted to Sumer and I was immediately at ease. I trust dogs’ reactions to people. Her spirit is so welcoming and I knew my baby was in good hands. I received multiple updates and pics throughout the stay. I love that she was allowed on furniture and able to be cuddles like she is at home. She looked happy in every pic and it made me feel so much better while I was away. 10/10! Raven will be back :-) Thank you!”
“Traci provided a wonderful experience for my pup! It was my first time leaving her since I adopted her and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the whole experience. Traci made my girl feel right at home and sent me updates and pictures that really eased any worries I may have had. I will definitely request Traci again in the future.”
About: I’ve covered private care, dog walking, training, vet settings and grooming over the past 20 years. Currently I’m the lead groomer at a local doggie daycare specializing in behavioral rehabilitation. This means dogs in my care get folded into my pack and taken along for our day. We have a 1/3 of an acre to relax on and can reinforce training or loose leash pack walks during their stay. As I work with dogs full time, we can easily fold 1-2 dogs into our daily routine. Structured feed times, crate rotation, daily training and lots of playing in the yard are already a part of our day. Dogs can come to work with me if necessary where they will have yard access for potty breaks and a private area indoors, or stay home with my older girl who prefers the peace and quiet of sun bathing, and midday breaks for walks or time in the yard. We have a large home and yard to accommodate everyone, employ structured meal times and crate and rotate when necessary so everyone has 1-1 time at home.
“Nicole is so wonderful with our pups! She is so attentive and loving! Our pups love her and love to spend time at her house! And Otis is the sweetest dog ever! And Archie is adorable! Thank you for such great care!!!!!”
About: My first job was as a kennel attendant at a local vet clinic where I learned a lot about animal care. I have also worked at a boarding facility. Since working there, I have started my own pet sitting service called “Bodens Buddies”. I started this service for a number of reasons; one, to give my dog Boden unique social opportunities, and two, because I believe pets thrive in a home setting even if it’s not their home. I am currently working part time as I continue my college studies, so I have plenty of time to commit to your pet(s)! My schedule is flexible! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog of my own. I also have two cats who can be spaced in another area if needed.
“Thomas & Emily are the best pet sitters ever. The love & attention given to Abbey was exceptional. Abbey loved playing with Monster & she was treated like their own which made it so much easier to be away. We loved the updates, photos & video. Meds were also given morning & night. We highly recommend Thomas & Emily. We will definitely use them again. Thank you both so much.”

“Kaitlyn was absolutely wonderful with keeping us in the loop about our three cats while we were away on vacation. Getting updates and photos at each check-in and being notified when she arrived each time without having to ask for them seriously put our mind at ease. Highly recommended!!!!”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life, inside and outside cats. I personally have 3 cats ranging from 1 y 7months to almost 3 years old. I have a calico female, orange male, and a grey & white shorthair male. I love to play with my cats and make them toys!
“Monica did a fantastic job taking care of my kitty. She arrived on time every day and spent time with him. After a couple days my kitty, who is scared of everyone, started letting her pet him. I will call on Monica again when I go out of town. 😊”
“We’re so happy to have found Samantha to care for our Al sweeties while we’re away. She sent lots of pics and a very thorough rundown of each visit. I appreciate all of that so much.”
“We just got home, Zoey had a lot to say about everything, but mostly she was saying that Erica and Kayla both did a great job with her. All is well, and Zoey says to call her Rover friends the next time we go away!”
“Ashlee has been a wonderful help to me with dropping in to care for my rambunctious doggos! I really appreciate her scheduling flexibility, and patience with me being newer to the app. So glad I found you! Thank you for your help!! :)”
“Tia has been fantastic with my big girl Blaze! Always on time, provides pictures. She gives Blaze attention, play time, and potty time. I will continue to book Tia as long as I can. Highly recommend”
“Chanse took excellent care of our two cats during drop-in visits and sent us pictures and updates of how the visits went each time. I would definitely recommend her, and will be booking her again.”
“Brandi messaged me with daily on how my cats were doing and how they were constantly getting comfortable while staying with her. One of my cats is shy and scared around new environments, and Brandi was patient with her until my cat was comfortable in the new environment. My other cat is a bit of a weirdo, but felt at home very quickly. I will definitely have Brandi house my cats again.”
About: Hi! Everyone has their passion in life. I've tried many different things in life and my passion is with animals, whether it be caretaking, feeding, walking, socializing and nurturing. I have years of experience with family pets including dogs, cats and hamsters.

I love all animals and would love to help yours be the happiest they can be. I'm available throughout the day to take care of your loved one. I can take care of a variety of needs including walking, feeding, socializing and more. Your trust in me with your pet is very important. And everyone's expectations with pet safety is different.

“Chanse was top tier and made my puppy’s stay the best it could be! She worked with him on his house breaking, playing with her children, helping him fall asleep when anxious, and helping when he had an upset tummy by feeding him chicken and rice. This was my first time boarding my puppy and I have to say, working with Chanse was well worth the 45 minute drive out to Janesville. Thank you so much Chanse, I will definitely be booking again with you on my next trip!”
About: I have always had a dog or multiple dogs in my life. I treat them like family. My friends come to me when they need their dogs watched! I am currently unemployed. I had experience working with animals at Petco and I had a previous job working with puppies from age 8weeks up and LOVED it! I would like to do it again. I have two chihuahuas that are allowed to have free roam of the house and yard. They know their boundaries and do not get leashed in the yard. They are allowed on anything but the counters and table! Sleep with me every night and go on walks. I have one with allergies to grass and he gets bathed regularly.

“This was my first time using this service and we were out of state, so I was nervous about all of it. Then I met Victoria and she is absolutely wonderful!! I was worried leaving my puppy with someone I hadn't met before, but everything went so well!! Victoria was so nice and attentive to my Larry. She sent messages, photos, and videos throughout Larry's visit. We just did doggie day care, dropping him off in the morning and picking him up in the evening, and I knew he enjoyed himself, because he was excited to go back in the morning. When we come back to Wisconsin, I will definitely contact Victoria again for puppy sitting!!”
“Sarah and her pack did awesome!!! Can't thank her enough for taking in Winnie on such short notice. When I picked up Winnie I was taken back at how much Winnie had bonded with Sarah in such a short period of time. Sarah was aware of Winnie's IBD issues and updated me on how she did. I really appreciated her for that!!!! This family definitely loves dogs!!!”
“So flexible and helpful with my pup! I trust her 100% and know when I pick my dog up she will be tired from playing outside, with toys or with other dogs! I highly recommend Ashlee and will continue to use her for all of our dog sitting needs!”
About: I am a certified veterinary technician with an additional certification in massage and rehab therapy. I have been working in the animal care industry since 2012 and have worked with and trained dogs for a long as I can remember. I offer expert level care for medically complex cases and a fear free approach for anxious pets. I have experience working with anxious and aggressive dogs as well as competition trained dogs. Being crate trained is a must for overnight stays. I do have 1 large crate here but encourage you to bring your pet's crate from home if able. Self- employed with a flexible schedule, I have all day availability and can also do early morning and late evening drop ins. I only take 1 client at a time so that I can give your pet the care and attention they deserve. Because I only take one client at a time, I can offer a stress free stay for animal aggressive pets. I wash all toys and blankets and sanitize all the floors and dishes between every stay.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I have a 7 year old golden named bode. I am familiar with medication distribution and other restrictions. Bode was diagnosed with lymphoma at 5 and has been in remission for 2 years. I grew up with labs as well as shitzus and my dad has a 9 year old golden. I would prefer to meet any candidate prior to boarding as they will be in the same space as my golden, he’s a gentle giant and gets along with all animals. He is a service animal so I have experience in training and younger dogs as well. I work from home full time and have a lot of free time to give during the week. Weekends are busy for me at the moment but will slow down come winter. I work from home so week days are great I have a lot of flexibility for walks and play time and potty breaks. Very attentive and will have my golden to play with. Big grass area to play at but no fence, live in a townhome with lots of toys. Since I work from home I’m very attentive and responsive.
About: Safety is always my number one priority, and snuggles are a close second. While I don’t consider myself a professional dog trainer, I have a lot of hands-on experience training my own dogs and enjoy doing fun, light basic training with pups who are willing participants. Above all, my goal is to make your pet feel completely comfortable and happy in my care whether that means going for walks, getting extra snuggles, or engaging in a little positive, low-pressure training. I work part-time for my family business and have the flexibility to take my work with me anywhere. That means your pet gets plenty of attention and care! I truly love animals and make them a natural part of my daily life, it’s something that brings me a lot of joy and fulfillment I have three playful, friendly, and highly socialized dogs in my home. Crating is available if needed for your pet’s comfort and safety. My yard features a secure 6-foot privacy fence with plenty of space for your dog to run, play, and explore.
“We needed someone at the last minute for two days of daycare while we were on the road. Maura and her husband were wonderful! Their love for dogs really show through in their personalities. They had other dogs during Gus's stay and he came back to us pooped out from all the fun he had. if we lived in the area, we would definitely have Gus visit Maura again!”
“Nicole is absolutely wonderful. I came to her with a dog who was super anxious at his last sitter (to no fault of the sitter), stubborn, and a senior, and she is so understanding and kind. Ollie is vocal and set in his ways, and she was able to make his experience super positive and he really seemed to like her. I will absolutely be booking her anytime she is available, and as long as she wants Ollie back.”
“Sarah took my dog, Ida, at the least minute for daycare this week. I received regular updates and photos, and my mind was at ease the entire time. Ida had a great time with Sarah, her husband, and her dog! They made sure she got outside every few hours and kept track of how much she ate and used the potty the whole time. They were very conscious of her allergies as well. I will definitely book again!”
“Absolutely amazing experience with our dog sitters! 🐾 They took such incredible care of my mini dachshunds, Nugget and Muffin, and treated them like their own. I got updates, photos, and total peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious how much they truly love animals, and my pups came home happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. Nugget and Muffin can be a little spoiled and needy at times, but they were so patient, attentive, and loving with them. I honestly couldn’t ask for better people to trust with my dogs. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitters! 💕”

“My dog had a great time staying at Tina and Cameron's for a fun-filled day of daycare. She enjoyed two walks, got to run around in their large fenced in backyard, and was able to socialize with their two dogs! Tina was so sweet and I felt really comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. You can tell right away that her and Cameron are extremely knowledgeable and have a lot of experience in caring for dogs. My dog came home very happy and ready for a nap - perfect! :) Definitely will be a repeating customer!”

About: Caring for others (especially animals) is truly my passion! I was a nanny for over 5 years which opened me up to pet care as well. Since most families I worked for had pets, I took on the responsibility of caring for them as well as their children. Hi there! Just a little bit about me! Caring for others (especially animals) is genuinely my passion! I was a nanny for over four years which opened me up to pet care as well. Since most families I worked for had pets, I took on the responsibility of caring for them as well as their children. I do not work outside of the home which means I can dedicate all of my time to your pet! I usually take one booking at a time, so if your pet doesn’t get along with other pets that’s no problem.

So I take it one step at a time with him and give him ample time to soak in all the enrichment of the environment around us.
“Kaleyanisa is the best! Sargent instantly fell in love with her. Animals can tell when someone loves animals. When she stopped to meet Sarge, we were giving him some cheese cubes for a treat. So today when she came to walk him she brought some homemade treats that were like a cheez-it, but for dogs. Sarge is a very fussy eater & he loved the snack. Talk about going above & beyond. Kaleyanisa is communicative, responsible & trustworthy….what a quality person! I’m so glad we met her. I trust her 100%!”
“Kayla is the best! She has been coming to walk my dog & play with him for a long time & everything has always been great. Would recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pups!”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since a child and have feed, played, and walked them. I'm good at reading their body language and adjusting the environment when necessary. I’m available most days, with work only Mondays and Thursdays from 8–5. I schedule pet care around each pet’s routine and needs and what works best for everyone. I follow feeding schedules, respect each pet’s personality, provide plenty of attention, play, exercise, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. I also love getting to know each pet and what they like.
About: I’ve had my own dogs but I’ve also spent about 7 years as a foster mom to needy dogs and have had the pleasure of watching 14 dogs pass through my home on their way to a forever family . I’ve had dogs in heat , sick with heartworm and kennel cough . I currently have a 11 year old foster failure pit bull that is completely comfortable with me being gone for long stretches of time and all hours as well , he has access to the yard with doggy doors . I’m recently retired and am looking for new ways to occupy my time other than clocking in !! My dog is 11 and we typically are super low key and I have no commitment on a daily basis . At the present time I would be doing only in your home care , my dog is old and used to being an only dog , too late to change . I can easily do anytime or even overnights , he’s used to me being gone
About: I have cared for my own pets, clients pets along with working in veterinary medicine for 10 plus years. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds of dogs. I not only am reliable and caring but experienced in medical care. I am a stay at home wife and mother. I have an open schedule with tons of time to dedicate to your pets and their needs! I would offer the same care, love, and compassion to your pets that I give to my own! I have the knowledge and skills to be alert and aware to bring anything that might seem off to your attention.
About: I have grown up and worked with animals my whole life. From having both dogs and cats growing up, to working as a Sea Lion trainer at the Milwaukee County Zoo, I have learned how to care for, and train, animals on a daily basis. It’s fun to get to know their different personalities, what motivates them, and understanding what will make their day positive. I love going on long walks or just lounging and giving lots of pets. Along with caring for animals, I work as a part-time nanny! I am a part-time nanny with a flexible schedule, which allows me to take jobs such as dog walking, or sitting, to fill in my schedule on my off days! Taking care of a pet is the same as taking care of someone else’s child. Their needs come first and it’s important to know what they enjoy and what motivates them. It’s equally as important to gain their trust and create a safe relationship with them, even if it’s only for a small amount of time. A positive relationship in return gives a positive experience.
About: I have had huskies and pit bulls as pets over the last few years. so hair does not bother me one bit. i have had large dogs most of my life. I have work experience as a dog bather/groomer assistant as well as experience when working within a kennel bussiness distrbuting food, walking, cleaning kennels, in a vet clinic giving medication, ect. Your pet's safety is my number one priority. I will follow ay procautions or directions given to me for the care of your pet. I live a pretty active life style and if your dog likes to go on runs he/she can be my running partner. i love all animals so if there are others in your home i might end up saying hello to them too. I have pet rat, guinea pigs, rats, leopard gecko, fish, and cats of my own I am well rounded with my animal experience I have very open flexibility with my hours. I am also pretty open on last-minute availability. Currently only working part-time and would love to meet your pets I only offer pet sitting in the client's home because I have pets of my own. But if we plan ahead, we can do overnights.
About: My preferred name is Sera. . I've had cats all my life and had friends with dogs. I dogsit as a side hustle since I can't have a dog myself (yet). I promise to treat your pets with the best care I'm currently employed and I do have my own vehicle. I can work part time or full time, days and nights. I can care for exotic pets too. I cannot care for pets in my home as I have three cats who haven't had other pets around and don't really like other animals.
About: My whole life I have been around dogs, I have trained a family members dog, and have been trusted to feed and take care of them. I'm currently working at a part time job, so i will have plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties! Ask me about my availability!! I have been taught from an early age to respect everyone, everyone comes from a different background. That includes animals of all shapes and sizes, animals have a way to make people happy and I love being around them for that reason.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, with a special appreciation for senior pets and those who need extra patience or consistency. One of the most meaningful experiences I've had was adopting a 12-year-old cat that developed chronic kidney disease (CKD). I cared for her through nearly four years of treatment, managing medications, hydration, appetite, weight, and daily routines until she passed away just shy of her 16th birthday. That experience taught me the importance of careful observation, consistency, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior that can indicate something isn't right. I also have experience caring for a Yorkshire Terrier and understand the unique needs of toy breeds, including their size, energy, and safety considerations. Several family members and friends have larger dogs that I take on walks and care for when they're away. Professionally, my background is in consulting and project management, which has made me highly organized, dependable, and detail-oriented. I follow instructions carefully, communicate proactively, and believe pet owners deserve regular updates and photos so they can enjoy their time away with confidence. My goal is always to care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care while maintaining flexibility. I currently offer overnight house sitting, typically from approximately 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m., when many pets appreciate the comfort of having someone with them overnight. During the day, I may have other work or personal commitments depending on the booking, but I always communicate my schedule in advance so expectations are clear. I strive to keep pets on their normal routines for meals, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and companionship while respecting the schedule that works best for each household. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially seniors or pets with medical needs, and I do my best to minimize disruptions to their daily routine. I am able to pick up your animal and drop them off for an additional fee ($10 / day). When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is maintaining the environment and routines they already know. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, exercise, household rules, and any special care your pet requires. I take time to build trust with each animal, allowing shy or anxious pets to become comfortable at their own pace. Safety is extremely important to me. I pay close attention during walks, keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets for changes in behavior or health, and never hesitate to contact an owner if I have a question or concern. I also treat every home with the same respect I would expect someone to show mine, keeping it clean, secure, and well cared for during your absence. Communication is a key part of my service. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing and can have peace of mind while you're away.
“This was my first experience using Rover and I connected with Ashlee inquiring about her services. She was kind enough to meet with me first as I had never had anyone but family care for my dogs. I was thrilled to receive my River cars with pictures and details each day about her visit to care for them. I will be utilizing her services again as I had piece of mind that my babies were well-cared for during our vacation. Thank you Ashlee!”
About: Hi! My name is Mariah. I previously managed a high volume dog and cat boarding facility for 4+ years. I am an approved foster for four different dog rescues in WI. I have over 10 years of experience taking care of dogs, cats, and farm animals. I have competed in obedience and showmanship classes, and am always signing up for more group or private lessons with both my personal dogs and foster dogs. There’s always more to learn when it comes to training! I have experience with all breeds, sizes, ages, temperaments. I am very comfortable administering medications, and giving subcutaneous and intramuscular shots (ex/insulin). My clients rely on me for quality care - and I take pride in providing these services as if they’re my own pets, as well as ensuring peace of mind for my clients while on vacation. I currently work full time - I took on a new job with consistent M-F hours, but I am home in the early evening, and always have weekends off to spend time with your furry friends. Since I’m not home during the day M-F it is important your dogs do well and would be fine while I am away from your home or mine. Dogs boarding at my home will need to be comfortable in a kennel until I return. I have a fenced in yard and 4 very friendly, playful, well socialized dogs for your companion to play/interact with. I can easily crate every body for feeding, breaks for rest between play, etc. - I do this anyway with my dogs to ensure everybody is getting the correct portions of food :) all my dogs go for walks - so if your dog is good on a leash, we can include them too!
About: Hi! My name is Victoria, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. We grew up with Siberian Huskies and learned from an early age the importance of providing pets with love, attention, exercise, and consistent care. Because of that experience, we have always had a special place in our hearts for animals. My husband and I are both lifelong dog lovers who grew up with dogs and understand that pets are family. We have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. Our home is a loving, pet-friendly environment where your furry family member will be treated like one of our own. I am a teacher, which means I am available all summer long and have a flexible schedule. We are able to provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day to ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved while you are away. Whether your dog enjoys playing outside, going for walks, receiving belly rubs, or simply relaxing with people who love animals, we will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and we are committed to providing dependable, loving care and regular updates for your peace of mind. As summer time is finally here *yayy* I want to fill my time with some furry friends! I am available for most of the summer, and during the school year, I work during the day, but have decent hours to be able to come home and play in the afternoons! I have a private, secure yard where your pet can safely play and relax. I also don’t have any children, so your fur baby will receive my main attention, care, and love during their stay.

“Brandi and her family are awesome! My husband & I went on a 5-day trip and needed care for our two dogs, about 70 lbs each. The initial meet-and-greet went well and we knew they would be in good hands. Our bloodhound/basset hound mix has occasional seizures (once per 3-6 months) and Brandi was comfortable with that, thankfully. Brandi has a big fenced backyard where the dogs worked out their energy. Daily photos and updates made us confident that our boys were happy and enjoying their stay. Our pups actually slept in bed with Brandi like they do at home! Ha! We will definitely be contacting Brandi again and absolutely recommend her!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sarah accommodated our last-minute request to watch our 3-month-old puppy for two days. Rip and Mayla were so friendly and playful when we stopped by for a meet and greet. And Sarah's obvious expertise and calm demeanor made it clear that this was a good fit for us. She was always quick with responses, sent daily updates with several pictures spanning the course of the day, and gave a very thorough rundown of how our puppy did his entire time there when we arrived to pick him up. It was clear that she had his best interests at heart. And any time we need a puppy sitter, she will be the first person we contact. 10/10 Highly recommend.”
About: I had a golden-lab for 6 years until we lost him to cancer earlier this year. My kiddos and I miss him a ton and would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby until we are ready to get another dog of our own. I work fully from home so I have a lot of flexibility all week and any weekends we are home/available as well. I am confident your pet would have LOTS of love and attention! I have a nice fenced in yard and great neighborhood available for daily walks. We have a great safe space to care for your pet!
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She updated daily and made sure our babies were so well taken care of. She went above and beyond and I’m so grateful we chose to book with her. I will absolutely be booking her for any future needs for our pups.”
“Emily and her family gave our 4-month old puppy all the love and attention one can hope for when leaving a furry friend for the day. He got to play in a fenced yard with other dogs and came home nice and tired. We’ll definitely book with her again in the future!”
“My puppy had such a good time!!! My girl is very shy and nervous around strangers but Chanse and her family were so sweet and good with her!! Would 100% go back any time I need a dog sitter!”
“Sumer was perfect! This is my first time using Rover and I was very apprehensive leaving my baby with someone I did not know. From the very first message, I felt more and more comfortable. When the time came to drop Raven off, I saw how she reacted to Sumer and I was immediately at ease. I trust dogs’ reactions to people. Her spirit is so welcoming and I knew my baby was in good hands. I received multiple updates and pics throughout the stay. I love that she was allowed on furniture and able to be cuddles like she is at home. She looked happy in every pic and it made me feel so much better while I was away. 10/10! Raven will be back :-) Thank you!”
About: I’ve covered private care, dog walking, training, vet settings and grooming over the past 20 years. Currently I’m the lead groomer at a local doggie daycare specializing in behavioral rehabilitation. This means dogs in my care get folded into my pack and taken along for our day. We have a 1/3 of an acre to relax on and can reinforce training or loose leash pack walks during their stay. As I work with dogs full time, we can easily fold 1-2 dogs into our daily routine. Structured feed times, crate rotation, daily training and lots of playing in the yard are already a part of our day. Dogs can come to work with me if necessary where they will have yard access for potty breaks and a private area indoors, or stay home with my older girl who prefers the peace and quiet of sun bathing, and midday breaks for walks or time in the yard. We have a large home and yard to accommodate everyone, employ structured meal times and crate and rotate when necessary so everyone has 1-1 time at home.
“Nicole is so wonderful with our pups! She is so attentive and loving! Our pups love her and love to spend time at her house! And Otis is the sweetest dog ever! And Archie is adorable! Thank you for such great care!!!!!”
About: My first job was as a kennel attendant at a local vet clinic where I learned a lot about animal care. I have also worked at a boarding facility. Since working there, I have started my own pet sitting service called “Bodens Buddies”. I started this service for a number of reasons; one, to give my dog Boden unique social opportunities, and two, because I believe pets thrive in a home setting even if it’s not their home. I am currently working part time as I continue my college studies, so I have plenty of time to commit to your pet(s)! My schedule is flexible! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog of my own. I also have two cats who can be spaced in another area if needed.
“Victoria was so helpful last minute. She did a great job taking care of Chloe - giving her lots of walks and attention. She sent me great photos too. Definitely recommend her and will request her again.”
“Ryan and his family were super sweet and updated us regularly. Hank had a great time and was taken great care of. I plan to bring him back if they are available next time I am in need of a sitter in the area!”
“Tanya was a godsend when it came to watching Butters our Border Collie puppy after a few surgeries leaving us unable to give him the best care. Our original sitter fell through and Tanya was able to squeeze in a meet and greet to make sure it all worked out for us. She provided updates and pictures that made me feel so much better about leaving him for a week. Tanya and her family truly took care of Butters as if he was their own family pet. She will be my go to in the event of needing boarding again and I can’t thank her enough for the care she gave our pup in our absence. She washed his blanket and sweater before sending him home and even made the cutest ornament of him for our tree. The little touches really make a difference. ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Mary and her husband are like an aunt and uncle to my Ivy. She loves going to their house and playing with their sweet dog :) I get lots of pictures during Ivy's stay with Mary and she always looks so relaxed and happy!”
“First time using Rover. Brad was available for Thanksgiving. Close to home. Flexible on drop off and pick up times. Responsive. Sent pup updates. Had other dogs to play with. Fenced in yard. Easy to work with. Would recommend and use again.”
“Ashlee kept our Sallie Mae for a couple days and was a great experience. Communication was great all the way from scheduling a meet and greet to drop off and pick up. Will use her again for sure.”
About: I have an 8 year old coonhound named Trigger. He is the light of my life. I love to care for family and friends dogs in my free time. I work 50% from home and 50% in the office. I am off Saturday through Monday. I have the flexibility needed to provide care as needed. I have an incredibly friendly and easy going coonhound named Trigger. In his older age, he has become quite the couch potato. In his younger years, he loved going to doggy day care to romp around. We have a large unfenced yard for dogs to enjoy.
