“We have had the same dog sitter since our 5 year old dog was born. She was unavailable for our most recent vacation, so used Rover for the first time and ended up deciding to go with Bobbi (and her family) and have our 2 doggies stay with them for our time away. We had a quick meet and greet to make sure our 2 doggies got along well with her dog, which went great. Bobbi sent reassuring messages and pictures every single day of our 12 day trip. Typically when we pick our pups up from our other sitter, particularly after a longer trip like this, they cry with joy to see us... run all over with excitement they cannot contain. This time when we picked them up, they seemed happy to see us, but not nearly as excited as usual, which to us indicated they MIGHT have preferred to just continue to hang with Bobbi and crew. It honestly couldn't have went better! We are so happy to have found Bobbi!”
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
“Cristy took excellent care of our goldendoodle, Luna. Luna loved playing with her dog Duke! They had great time running out the backyard and hanging out on couch. We really appreciated the pictures and updates.”
“Korri was fantastic!!! Would absolutely contact her again if we needed someone to take care of our dog. We had a wedding out of town and Korri sent so many updates which was amazing to feel like our gal was being taken care of well. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!!!”
“Kristina is so great with our puppy, Olive! We were nervous about leaving Olive with someone new since she’s still pretty young, but right away we felt at ease with Kristina and it was evident that Olive absolutely adored her! We’ve now booked Kristina twice and will continue to do so - our pup loves playing at Kristina’s and comes home tired and happy!”
“Very nice couple! We could tell they really cared about our dog and wanted to give her a good experience. She is older and has many different medications that need to be given at all different times and they handled all this very well. Highly recommend.”
“By far my dog’s favorite sitter! She is always treated like part of their family and she has so much fun playing with their dogs. I love all the photos and the run down of all the fun playtime she got during the day!”
“Savannah did a wonderful job taking care of our little pooch for two nights. She was very accommodating of our schedule and we greatly appreciated it. We will not hesitate to have her watch him again! Both of our Rover.com experiences so far have been 5 star!”
“Friendly and responses quick to your messages . Also she was great with Sam !! Gave me updates on how he was doing ! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter !”
“Maria was great! While on vacation we got delayed an extra night due to a tropical storm and she was quick to help and eased any worry of having a safe place for our dog. Chewy is a great pup but in need of a little extra attention and Maria easily fulfilled this as she only watched one dog at a time having Chewy return to us happy and healthy! We were also able to see updates on him through the pictures she sent and could see his personality still shining through as he was definitely comfortable in her care.”
“Brooke is so sweet and our dog Milton is so comfortable with her. It was his first time boarding with someone who isn't family and we're so glad it was with Brooke. Will definitely book again.”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Gina was great with Riley. We haven’t left him with people we didn’t know before and she did a great job of watching him and keeping us updated. Riley is quite energetic and he got many walks and time to explore to get his energy out. Highly reccomend Gina to anybody.”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Daniel was fantastic! We choose him to dog sit out German shepherd for her first over night not at home. We did a meet and greet first and then she stayed over for the weekend. He made me feel very comfortable and even sent me some photos of my pup! Timber really seemed to enjoy her stay and the adventures (walks) they went on! We will definitely keep Daniel in mind when we need another dog sitter.”
“Samantha and Twix were great sitters for our pups during our weekend away! We appreciated the videos and photos throughout the stay and would definitely rebook in the future :-)”
“Mitzi was so well treated. She was walked and made to feel at home while staying there. I highly recommend Caitlin and Samuel. They are very friendly and I plan to keep them in mind for future needs.”
“We are so grateful to have found Anu and her family to care for our Ginger. Ginger loves going there to play and visit. They have become like her second family! She's already had 3 stays and a 4th one planned. Highly recommended!”

“Josh does a fantastic job watching Aspen. He always makes sure she enjoys his company and that she gets energy out. Josh also goes above and beyond, leaving detailed notes about his visits and takes plenty of pictures. I would highly recommend Josh to care for your dog.”
“Sherry did a great job with our two cats, one having a health condition which needed special feedings twice a day and one day of a med. She did a great job with that and sent me pictures and videos to help me relax while away. The cats were fed and happy when we returned and the pet areas were tidied up nicely!”
About: Hello! Over the last few years, I have gained experience in caring for dogs in daycare and boarding settings, as well as in some training settings. The knowledge that I have gained from these experiences sets me apart because I now know the importance of building trust with pets. I am an advocate for positive reinforcement training methods, and have some experience with Fear Free methods as well. While I do not have any dog training certifications, I have had the opportunity to work alongside some wonderful dog professionals who have expanded my knowledge and understanding of what it means to advocate for all dogs, especially those who may be a bit more fearful. If you have a pet who needs to take things slow, or has some behaviors that may not make them successful in a dog daycare setting, I would be happy to see if I can make it into their "safe people" club! After 3 years working full-time in the dog care industry, I have become fluent in dog body language and communication. If you have questions about your dog's behavior, I'm happy to give you my best input and point you in the direction of resources that may be a good fit for you and your pet! I am also happy to take care of baths and nails for dogs as long as you have supplies. I have 3 years of professional experience in both, but no haircuts:) I am working part time in the mornings and evenings for a few hours at a time, so I can fill my schedule around those hours with hanging out with your pet! In caring for your pup, I will monitor their behavior and ensure they are happy and excited about any activities we may be doing. When on walks, I like to keep away from any other dogs or people we may come upon, just to ensure everyone's safety and comfort. I keep a close eye on our surroundings, both on walks and in homes, to ensure nothing ends up in the mouths of curious pups that shouldn't be there.
“We are very pleased with Samantha’s consistency and communication. When there were concerns she didn’t hesitate to reach out. She is mature, reliable and trustworthy. We would definitely have her take care of the fur baby again!”
“We’ve been having Jessy come every weekday for about a month now to let our girls out. She has been super reliable, communicative and easy to work with. We really appreciate her assistance as we transition to both pet parents working outside of our home.”
“Allison did a wonderful job taking care of my pet Callie! She was very quick, responsive, and gave detailed feedback of how my cat was doing. Would definitely recommend her and use her to petsit again!”
“Amy and Grace are great! They took amazing care of our 4 cats and paid attention to every detail. They took the time to get our shy cat to take her medication and played with our energetic one. Thanks for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Travis was fantastic with our kitties! We hired him to stay with them and we couldn’t be happier with his services. We got multiple updates with pictures, and came home to a well kept home. Very reliable, great communication, and overall just a very nice person whose love for animals is obvious when you meet him. We’ll hire him again. 10 / 10 would recommend Travis.”
About: Pet care for 20+ years! I have a true heart for animals and a passion for exercising with them to promote their physical, mind and spiritual health! I will love yours like my own!❤️ I work full time M-F in pediatric health care and take care of our animals before and after work. I am also free most weekends! My husband works from home and has a flexible schedule during the day. Our daughter (11 years old) also loves to help with the animals! We are an outdoorsy, nature-loving family! We love to walk the dogs in the neighborhood and let them play and sniff all over our large yard. We currently have 2 dogs living with us - Oreo, a terrier, and Duke, a tripod yellow lab! Both are friendly rescue pups:)
“Amanda really understands cat care conscientious cuddly and compassionate. Turns out after a 6 week absence I need not have worried with Tiger in Amanda's care. I recommend her highly”
About: Although I truly love all animals, cats have a special place in my heart. I grew up in a household of 1-2 cats and always found so much joy in playing with them and even pretending they were one of my “students” in my imaginary classroom. Whether they’re super energetic or sleep 90% of the day, I love both! I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! ☺️
“Caitlin was amazing, this was my first time using this app amd at last minute request she will willing to help. Very friendly and great communication. My cat looked like she had a great time and will use her again!”

“We had a last-minute Rover request, and Bobbi responded quickly and made booking easy. Even though it was a short stay, we could tell our dog had a great time especially with Mercy, their adorable pug! Bobbi shared updates and photos, and Nova seemed to really enjoy their spacious backyard. Bobbi was so kind and welcoming. We’d absolutely recommend her to others!”
“Emily took such good care of our Obi! Emily and her family took him in like their own! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was very attentive to all our puppy’s needs 😊 🩷 Would highly recommend Emily for all your pets needs!”
“Quite gracious and friendly. Bobbie and Clark were most accommodating on short notice. They were great with our dog who clearly had a terrific time in Bobbie and Clark’s wonderful care.”
About: Since childhood, I have been responsible for the care of various animals, including dogs, cats, and small animals of diverse species. Among these, dogs hold a special place in my heart as my favorite animal. As a full-time stay-at-home mother, I am constantly at home with my children and dogs. During the summer months, we thoroughly enjoy spending time outdoors. I have a spacious backyard that is not fenced in, but I have a long tie-out if needed for your furry friends. Your pets will be well cared for.
“This was a last minute need so it was great he could watch Cody with very short notice. Cody is an older dog and does not take change well, so it was fantastic he was excited to return the next day which means Cody really enjoyed his stay. Great care and communication! Cody was all smiles!”
“Cristy was amazing! Her home was so cute and tidy. She has a sweet little dog that played so well with my dog whom normally doesn’t care much for others. Cristy was kind, communicative, and flexible.”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, horses, ducks, and rabbits. I also had a great deal of time with other animals such as cows, and chickens at my Grandpa's dairy farm. One of my past jobs was being a dog sitter, to care for them, and do some training as well. I loved it! 🙂😁 I now have a German Shepard and Husky mix named Apollo, and I love teaching him new things, spending time with him, and of course taking care of him. 🥰❤️ I'm currently working as a house cleaner, and although I love the job, I would like to work some more hours. Sometimes clients cancel or reschedule cleanings resulting in less hours. I'm looking to do this hopefully full time, as I miss working with dogs. 🙂😁 I currently have a huge yard, but I can also give walks if suggested. I'm welcoming any animals except cats due to my boyfriend being allergic. I will do my very best to help any of your fur babies feel at home. 💌😁
“Love using Sarah for dog sitting! She is so flexible and I can always count on her with last minute bookings! Frankie leaps out of my arms to go greet her family and pups ❤️ Will continue bringing frankie ❤️”
“Kimberly and her sweet son were so kind and welcoming. She was very conscientious of my dog's needs and sent many photos/updates throughout the day. Playtime and trails walks wore her out! She slept the whole way home. Thank you for taking such good care of our Emma!”
About: Hi, I’m Melissa! What sets me apart is my deep lifelong passion for animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs and cats from their very first days all the way through their golden years. On top of that, we’ve had horses for over 20 years and many outdoor cats too! I’m very comfortable giving medications, shots, and, of course, providing lots of love and attention. Taking care of pets isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. Right now, I have a super flexible schedule since I’m not working outside the home, which means I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I’m available anytime and happy to fit into your pet’s normal routine. I live on a 10 1/2-acre property, so there’s plenty of safe space for dogs to run, explore, and just be themselves. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time to take care of and play with your pups or cats. I’m available anytime Monday through Friday. I have a 10 1/2 acre property with plenty of room for animals to run and get their energy out. I have a long leash and I also have crates.
“My Jojo loved her stay with Maria today! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. I appreciated all the timely communication- even before we arrived. Amazing service. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve had my own pets since I was little. I’ve had hamsters, goldfish, frogs, bunnies, hamsters and a dog. I also have a few years experience with taking care of my grandmas cats.

I am a very organized person so I will keep everything clean and tidy.

In married life I had golden retriever and multiple Tri Shelties. Also have the pleasure of grand dogs to care for occasionally. My last Sheltie Cooper passed 10/2020 and I would love to care for your precious fur baby. I am an active retired female with lots of time & energy to care for your loved one. My hours are very open and I can be flexible with schedule I have a nice backyard with long leads/leash to connect pet indoors before letting out. Also very nice trail walks in area. I enjoy keeping your dog in good shape with a little exercise and a calm relaxing home to come back to
About: Hi! I am a dog lover living on 2 acres in the country with my family and our friendly terrier mix rescue. We have loving home with kids ages 4–13 who adore animals. Your pup will get plenty of attention, daily walks, playtime, and frequent potty breaks since I’m home throughout the day. I treat every dog like part of the family and want them to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am new to this app but I have dog sat with labs and bernadoodles in the passed. We would love to meet you and your pup! I work remotely therefore myself and my pup, Marlee, are available 8am to 4pm weekdays. Overnight stays on weekends and also overnight stays Wednesday-Friday. I can be flexible based on need. I am on 2 acres in the country. Your dog will experience plenty of play time and potty breaks in the yard. Lots of attention from myself and my kids. Walks if needed and lots of cuddles!
About: I have had pets all my life! Including dogs, cats, geckos, and fish. I am super passionate about dogs especially, as is my husband. I have dog sat for numerous families in the past, and would love to put my skills to use by hosting pets, and dog walking! We are an incredibly dog friendly house, where dogs are treated as humans. We have a sweet two year old hound mix named Charlie. He LOVES all people and dogs, and would also love some friends to play with! We have done training classes with him, and are very knowledgeable about dogs. We would love to share our passion with you, and your furry friends! I am also a moderator for an online group as well!
About: I've always had dogs in our family and sense getting older continue to love them. I handle all the training for my dogs and even do bikejoring with them! I frequent the local dog park weekly and go on frequent walks as well. I have a large fenced in area (and an electric portion on top to defer dog nappers!) With free access of water and feedings twice a day (or more if your dog needs it!) your pups will feel right at home with me. I have basic first aid knowledge and did complete a semester of vet tech in collage so I can handle pretty much anything from pills to injections. Your dog will be treated like family and thus will get better treatment than most humans! LOL I’ve been running and maintaining my own business as a handywoman for the last few years but miss the interactions with other dogs! My schedule is very flexible for that reason. As stated in a previous section I have a fenced in yard with free access of fresh water and feeding done twice a day. My dogs are both house trained and crate trained. They also are great with other dogs. In my fenced in backyard it’s about 90% privacy fence and is currently in the process of being cleaned up after the pool had a leak and ruined a lot of the stuff we had back there including a jungle gym for the dogs.
About: I’ve had dogs in my home all my life!! Just looking to hang out with some pups and help out! Dog has to be good with a baby in the house and another dog. We have a mini Australian shepherd. Dogs will get walked at least 2 times daily! I am fully available weekdays and weekends! I do not leave the house for more than a couple hours at a time and would love to take your dog with me for car rides if I leave when possible! I will take excellent care of your fur baby! I can let them out as many times as preferred and I am okay with any kind of feeding schedule!

“Josh and my dog Jaxon got along great from the start. This was my first time having someone other than family take care of him so I was nervous but his daily Rover cards with the description of the day and pictures are awesome and makes my day away from my dog better. Jaxon gets so excited when he comes over now because he loves going on walks with him and the treats he gives him!”
About: I have been caring for dogs my entire life! I grew up with dogs and started dog sitting and dog walking at age 12. Since then i have worked at a doggy daycare, feeding, caring for, cleaning, exercising, and administering health care to all breeds and types of dogs! I am currently enrolled in college but am able to work really any day of the week depending on the times! I am most available in the afternoon but am overall very flexible and willing! I always make sure to provide your pet with a safe, calm environment while also keeping them entertained. I will be fully responsible for your pet and make sure it is well taken care of!
About: I have always had a dog in the house since I can remember and now have 2 loveable dogs that we walk often. Sadie is 13 years-old and Cooper is 7 years-old and they are the best of friends! My son asked for this to be his first job because he loves dogs so much. He has been walking ours for 1 year now and was always helping us with them since he was little. He is at school now so it will just be me and possibly my 7 year-old daughter who loves dogs and would be coming to unless you ask for no kids :). My son will be back to helping once school is finished. They both have been very responsible with our dogs, helping to bathe them, soothe them, scoop poop and walk our dogs for awhile now. We are all very responsible, trustworthy, respectable caring family. we would love to help take care of yours the best we can, while you are away :) I am a stay-at-home mom and homeschool my 2 kids, so we have a lot of flexibility in our schedule to help meet your dog needs. My son and I will only be offering dog walking and any other dog care needs you may need in your home. We do not do overnight sitting, but we would love to visit your dogs and love on them and give them lots of attention while we are there.
“Samantha was great with Zero! Gave him plenty of excercise and sent over great pics!!! She was mindful that it is hot out and gave him some fresh water so he could cool down. Would definitely have Samantha come back and walk Zero again! Thank you!”
About: I've been taking care of my friends, family and neighbors dogs for as long as I can remember. Anything from daily to week long periods I have fed, walked, and cared for those animals, as well as overnight stays at either my home or theirs. Pet care fits extremely well into my routine, I am an online college student with a majority of free time and flexibility. I am typically up early and readily available most of the time. I remain especially cleanly in my own home and clients, making sure to clean/ tidy up after the pet as well as stay attentive to their needs. Another way I care for pets is by enjoying their company, talking, playing and interacting with them on walks and at home to make sure they are safe, happy and attended to.
About: I've spent my entire life having animals and loved them for my entire life. I've had cats my entire life, and often this is not lent itself well to me also owning a dog. We currently own three cats one 12 year old lady, and two 2 year old brothers. When I was young I would walk the neighbor's dog just so I could get some dog time in. In college and after college I had several roommates who had dogs I lived with, who I would also help care for either just for fun or while they were gone. I have also taken care of friends dogs while they are out of town on vacation. I have experience with cats from 6 weeks old all the way up to end of life. I have experience in giving cats medication, special diets, special instructions and any other quirks your cat may have. I'm experienced in walking dogs, playing with dogs, feeding dogs (including special diets) and while I love larger dogs, I currently am unable to care for them due to a medical condition and it only able to care for a small dogs. I'm currently taking a break from my career and have very flexible availability, both during the week and on the weekends. I do request 24 hours notice. I will take care of your pets with the instructions you leave me with. I will rely on you as the pet parent to make all major decisions and follow your rules as best as possible. I am great with communication and will regularly communicate with you to show you how your pets are doing while you're out of town and ask any questions that arise while you're gone.
About: Thank you for considering me to be your trusted pet sitter! I have had dogs in my life since I was a young child. I have owned my own dogs for 11 years. I have experience with both puppies and seniors alike! My family and I are definitely “dog” people in every way! I offer personalized, one on one care for your furry family member! I currently work full time from home with a very flexible schedule and am home all weekends as well! I can accommodate your dogs routine into my day! I have experience with giving both oral and injection medication. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around regular drop-in visits and dog walks, making sure each pet receives consistent care, attention, and exercise. I plan my routes and time blocks efficiently so I can be dependable and flexible for clients, whether they need recurring walks or occasional drop-ins. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so it’s a priority in my routine rather than something I squeeze in. I provide attentive, in-home drop-in care so pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. During each visit, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, take care of potty breaks or litter box needs, provide playtime, walks if requested, and plenty of affection. I also follow any specific routines or instructions the owner provides, administer basic medications if needed, and keep the home tidy by cleaning up pet-related messes. I always prioritize safety, consistency, and communication, and I send updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: Experienced pet lover and devoted fur mom of two offering compassionate, reliable care. I treat every pet like family and focus on creating a safe, loving, stress-free experience while you’re away. You can expect attentive communication, dependable service, and personalized care tailored to your pet’s routine and personality. My fiancé and I do work full time, and so if you opt for a week day stay, know they’ll be home alone :) My fiancé and I work FT jobs, but we are home earlier afternoon and have the whole night to love on them. We do not have a fenced in yard so plenty of walks are had! We make sure if we have your pet on the weekend, that we get things done early in the day so we have the rest of the time playing! We treat all dogs like they are own. I ask for vet information and if you will be gone for over a week, I ask that you inform your vet that your pet is with a babysitter. We do not have kids in the house FT, so there are no toys to be chewed on, just dog toys :) We do require all dogs to have all vaccinations.
“Briana came out and walked my dog for me for a week while I had longer working hours. Duke loved her, she was prompt and had great communication! I so appreciated her coming out of her way to get him out and will absolutely be booking again!”
About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals at various ages/health levels/behavioral attitudes. I see every animal as an individual requiring specific care and love to learn about what makes them each unique. I grew up caring for chickens, had a dog in agility, along with a pet parakeet. I lived in Myanmar during peace corps and quickly became known as the "cat house" because all the stray cats would go in and out of my house--and I ended up caring for 3 litters of kittens alongside the mothers (thankfully getting them both spayed). I've done some fostering and overnight pet-sitting, and would meet your pets needs wherever they're at! I will be substitute teaching starting in the fall, so before that my schedule will be quite flexible, then afterwards I’ll still be available and flexible (I don’t plan to sub every day as I’m also an online student) but wouldn’t always be able to do midday visits. However, just ask! I only provide care in the pets' habitats as I can't guarantee my cats would get along with all animals, but I promise to leave the house looking the same as it did when I came in, use the appropriate leash/harnesses on walks, and keep litter boxes clean.
About: Hello my name is Kylee. I have grown up with dogs my entire life. My family owned a dog daycare for several years that I took every opportunity to go there.. I have experienced in pet sitting. My biggest emphasis while pet sitting is keeping the pet parent daily informed with updates and pictures. I have an appreciation for pets with special needs meaning health related things, because my dogs has a strict diet that needs to be followed I am currently working as an activity director at an assisted living. My hours are 7:45 to 4:15 Monday- Friday. Once every month I do work weekends. I have a fenced in yard that has recently been put in. My dogs are extremely friendly with all types of dogs and cats. I am 100% open to staying at your place if you would prefer that instead.
“Bango seems to really enjoy his walks with Travis! I LOVE the pictures I get of Bango that Travis takes during the walks. Travis is very accommodating for whatever you need!”
About: I’ve spent several years providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection to keep pets happy and relaxed while their families are away. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment so every pet feels comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly rhythm, especially since I work from home three days a week. On those WFH days, I’m able to offer flexible, consistent attention—perfect for pets who enjoy companionship, regular check‑ins, or a steady routine. I build feeding times, walks or play sessions, potty breaks, and general wellness checks around my work blocks, making sure pets get the care and interaction they need throughout the day. On the days I’m in the office, I plan visits intentionally to keep each pet’s routine stable. Whether it’s morning care, midday enrichment, or evening check‑ins, I make sure every pet gets predictable, comforting attention. Because I’m used to balancing a hybrid schedule with pet responsibilities, I’m very organized and reliable about maintaining consistent care all week long. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine, environment, and comfort exactly the way they’re used to. I follow the owner’s instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, medication needs, and any household rules—so pets feel secure and stress‑free. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, whether they need extra play, quiet companionship, or a slow, gentle approach. I keep the home tidy and respectful, making sure food and water areas stay clean, litter boxes or potty routines are maintained, and any messes are handled right away. I also pay attention to small details like closing gates, locking doors, turning lights on or off as requested, and keeping the home feeling lived‑in and safe. Throughout the stay, I send updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing.
About: Growing up I've always been surrounded by pets of all sorts; dogs and cats and many others. Currently since I've moved out on my own I have a few of my own furbabies (my three cats Penny & Minx & Cheezeburger) that being said I live in my own home.If you choose me then you are helping me give some love to a furry critter who might need that extra help from a new special friend! I currently work first shift and have oodles of love to give hense why I 3 furbabies of my own haha. Typically you can find me fixing things around my house and with summer around the corner I crave to walk more hense why I think being a dog walker would be a interesting twist on how to spice up my life. Depending on your service that is needed we could further talk about what the expectations are. May it be a walk or feeding or simply to give them the good old belly rubs; just being there will be quite the joy.

“We have had the same dog sitter since our 5 year old dog was born. She was unavailable for our most recent vacation, so used Rover for the first time and ended up deciding to go with Bobbi (and her family) and have our 2 doggies stay with them for our time away. We had a quick meet and greet to make sure our 2 doggies got along well with her dog, which went great. Bobbi sent reassuring messages and pictures every single day of our 12 day trip. Typically when we pick our pups up from our other sitter, particularly after a longer trip like this, they cry with joy to see us... run all over with excitement they cannot contain. This time when we picked them up, they seemed happy to see us, but not nearly as excited as usual, which to us indicated they MIGHT have preferred to just continue to hang with Bobbi and crew. It honestly couldn't have went better! We are so happy to have found Bobbi!”
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
“Korri was fantastic!!! Would absolutely contact her again if we needed someone to take care of our dog. We had a wedding out of town and Korri sent so many updates which was amazing to feel like our gal was being taken care of well. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!!!”
“Friendly and responses quick to your messages . Also she was great with Sam !! Gave me updates on how he was doing ! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter !”
“Brooke is so sweet and our dog Milton is so comfortable with her. It was his first time boarding with someone who isn't family and we're so glad it was with Brooke. Will definitely book again.”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Gina was great with Riley. We haven’t left him with people we didn’t know before and she did a great job of watching him and keeping us updated. Riley is quite energetic and he got many walks and time to explore to get his energy out. Highly reccomend Gina to anybody.”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Daniel was fantastic! We choose him to dog sit out German shepherd for her first over night not at home. We did a meet and greet first and then she stayed over for the weekend. He made me feel very comfortable and even sent me some photos of my pup! Timber really seemed to enjoy her stay and the adventures (walks) they went on! We will definitely keep Daniel in mind when we need another dog sitter.”
“Samantha and Twix were great sitters for our pups during our weekend away! We appreciated the videos and photos throughout the stay and would definitely rebook in the future :-)”
“Mitzi was so well treated. She was walked and made to feel at home while staying there. I highly recommend Caitlin and Samuel. They are very friendly and I plan to keep them in mind for future needs.”
“We are so grateful to have found Anu and her family to care for our Ginger. Ginger loves going there to play and visit. They have become like her second family! She's already had 3 stays and a 4th one planned. Highly recommended!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, horses, ducks, and rabbits. I also had a great deal of time with other animals such as cows, and chickens at my Grandpa's dairy farm. One of my past jobs was being a dog sitter, to care for them, and do some training as well. I loved it! 🙂😁 I now have a German Shepard and Husky mix named Apollo, and I love teaching him new things, spending time with him, and of course taking care of him. 🥰❤️ I'm currently working as a house cleaner, and although I love the job, I would like to work some more hours. Sometimes clients cancel or reschedule cleanings resulting in less hours. I'm looking to do this hopefully full time, as I miss working with dogs. 🙂😁 I currently have a huge yard, but I can also give walks if suggested. I'm welcoming any animals except cats due to my boyfriend being allergic. I will do my very best to help any of your fur babies feel at home. 💌😁
About: I’ve had dogs growing up and it’s safe for me to say I am truly a dog person. I did most of the training with my families most recent dog Zola. Besides that I love being around all sorts of dogs. They are truly man’s best friend! I’m a full time student at UW-Platteville along with playing football so I’m pretty unavailable during the week. However most weekends I’m wide open especially on Sunday all day and Friday afternoons. I have a very good understanding of dogs behavior from growing up around them and being around them most of the time. I will make sure your dog stays busy and out of trouble.
About: Growing up I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember. I have 5 dogs, a cat, bunny, & a few reptiles. I’m a stay at home mom and have vet tech experience. If you need extra care I am more then happy to do what I can to assist your pets needs and have a flexible schedule. If I am caring for them in my home, I have a fenced in back yard for your pup to roam around and get their zoomies out 🐾💜
“Sarah has been an excellent host for our dachshund Rupert! She has been very gracious navigating his tendency for separation anxiety and he has come back home both times in a great mood where other experiences we can tell he's tired from being away from us and anxious. She's very communicative, sending updates and photos through his stays and very flexible with dropoff and pickup. We hope to have him back when he needs a place to stay!”
