“We left our dog Toffee with Jenny and her family for 5 days while we attended a work conference, and we could not have asked for a better experience! This was our first time using Rover and leaving Toffee with someone we didn’t know, so we were definitely nervous at first. Jenny immediately made us feel comfortable with constant updates, pictures, and videos throughout the entire stay. Toffee had the absolute best time running around in her huge backyard, playing with her kids and her two dogs, and getting so much love and attention. It truly felt like he was treated as part of their family. You can tell Jenny genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing Toffee was happy, safe, and so well cared for. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be booking with Jenny and her lovely family again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Ryan and Martha took wonderful care of my dog. They treated her as a member of their family. They took her for walks and sent daily pictures. I will certainly ask them to care for Ella again when needed.”
“Our two dogs had a great stay with Michele and her family, and we couldn't be happier with their care! We've had a long-term house and dog sitter who recently relocated away from town, so our dogs had never had the experience of staying away from home without us before. We were a little concerned about how that would go, but right from the start we were reassured by Michelle's friendliness, her evident dog smarts, and her long experience with (sometimes challenging) pups. Before and throughout the boarding process, communication was just right -- clear and relevant, frequent enough to be reassuring but not at all excessive. When we returned home and picked up the dogs, they were in great shape: happy, relaxed, and clearly in no rush to leave Michelle and her family behind :) We'll definitely hope to have them stay again in the future.”
“Robert was a great host for Mazzi. He sent daily updates/photos. Robert has a large backyard that Mazzi loved to run around during play time.”
“This was the 2nd time Katie and Samuel’s family took care of Jarvis while we were away. We were very excited when they were available for these dates because Jarvis had a great time with them the first time. They did such an amazing job with him again and it really seemed like Jarvis felt right a home. They always send frequent updates and pictures which is really appreciated :)”
“Mary and her family were absolutely wonderful sitters for Grizzy! They took great care of him during a cold snap, making sure he was warm and comfortable. Mary sent wonderful updates and absolutely adorable pictures, and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“My two golden retrievers had such a great time! They came back home happy and tired after a fun weekend. Lee did a great job sending photo and video updates and making my babies feel right at home!”
“Neko came home exhausted so he must have had a wonderful time! Judd and Becky were so kind and worked well with us on a last minute request and we will absolutely use them again!”
“Very friendly and dependable. Timely communication, and great pictures and updates during the stay. Confident that Louie got lots of attention, exercise, doggy socialization, and love.”
“Fabulous! Mack gave her 4 paws up and he would have given her more but he only has 4 paws. He has been online trying one to buy me more airline trips so he can go back to Steph and live the good life. Can’t praise her enough. Deb Spencley”
“Cleda was great! My dog looked so happy in every photo, and Cleda made everything super seamless and stress-free. Definitely going to use her again in the future!”
“Edith is the sweetest dog lover out there. My dog was so happy when I picked him up and could tell he was well loved and cared for. I will be booking with Edith anytime I need in the future!”
“Beatrice did a great job watching over Chopa :) She sent messages and pictures to provide updates during the boarding which was great! I would definitely reach out to her again when we need boarding service again”
“Zara had a blast, definitely a safe and fun place for her to stay. She was very well cared for and we received updates while we were gone for almost a week.”
“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.”
“Our three dogs had a great night with Allison! She was easy to work with and laid back. Dogs got to chill on the couch, luxury access to special beds and blankets. Thanks for a great stay!”
“Da Yeon was wonderful!! Jada had a great time and we felt very comfortable leaving her. We were sent pictures, which was also great. Additionally, Jada had been groomed when we picked her up which was an added bonus! We will definitely use Da Yeon in the future!”

“Tucker was amazing — he took great care of my fur baby and provided pics regularly AND he was gracious and unflappable in the face of some unforeseen challenges. Flexible, great communicator, and left the house cleaner than he found it. Great with following directions and proactively taking care of all the things — he even noticed the light on the automatic feeder and refilled it before I even messaged him about the notification I’d received. Perhaps best of all, he saw AJ for the loving, playful kitty that he is—so I knew AJ was feeling comfortable and that he was in good, kind hands. Would definitely recommend to others and would be glad to have his help again!”
“Natalie was an amazing sitter! She followed our directions and sent lots of wonderful pictures and updates. She went above and beyond in bringing in our mail and cleaning up after one of our cats. Our three kitties were well cared for and loved while we were gone. Will definitely hire again!”
“Emily was fantastic with our kitty - she was also extremely responsive and easy to coordinate with even though our booking request was pretty last minute. Would absolutely book again!”
“Anaya was a wonderful cat sitter! She took excellent care of phoebe, was very responsive and flexible, and sent some amazing pictures of phoebe as well! Highly recommend her”
“Amy was great! I could tell see really cared about the cats. She did an amazing job catering for my more shy cat, making sure she got food even though she was hiding.”
“Carlee did an excellent job taking care of my two cats. I felt totally comfortable with her after our meet and greet where her cat knowledge became clear. My cats loved her and I had peace of mind knowing they were in good hands.”
“My kitty cat adores Krista! He greets Krista at the door (which he doesn’t do for just anyone) and loves to play with her. Also, Krista writes really cute & fun reports on their visits. We highly recommend her to care for your pets!”
“Taylor was wonderful! She opened her home to my two cats while we were on vacation, and they had their own little area to roam and play. They were well loved and cared for, and I highly recommend Taylor!”
“I really appreciate the love and attention Rhiannon gave during the visits. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands while I was away. The updates and photos were so thoughtful and made me feel connected even from afar. Thank you for keeping everything clean and making ssure they were happy and comfortable. I’ll definitely reach out again next time I need help. You were amazing!”
“Robert was fantastic while taking care of our cats. He communicated clearly, shared fun pictures, and let us know if there were any problems. Robert was also flexible in helping us cancel a visit when we had to cut our trip short. Would definitely book Robert again to visit and care for our cats!”
“This was my second time booking with Alissa and she was just as great the this time around. One of my kitties had an accident, and Alissa helped clean up and kept me updated throughout her drop-in on how my cat was doing. She’s very reliable and definitely my new go-to for watching my cats!”
“Austin was great to work with! He sent daily updates along with photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. He consistently checked in and kept me informed on how everything was going. I also really appreciated his flexibility and willingness to help out on short notice. Would definitely book with him again!”
“Stacey took great care of my two cats and was up for the challenge of taking care of them in the early stages of their introduction to each other. She sent lots of cute photos and helpful updates, and I can tell that she really loves cats.”
“Courtney was great from start to finish! She was excellent and responsive with her communication. She gave lots of updates and photos while we were gone and made sure both cats, who each have quite different temperaments, got a good experience. I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“We went on vacation for a week. One of our cats is kind of sickly and does not eat well without encouragement. Erin B came once a day, fed all three cats, cleaned their litter boxes, and gave them love and attention. We loved the daily photos and Rover Cards. Thank you, Erin B!”
“Louisa and her daughter did a great job of communicating with me, though their stay was short. My cat loved the attention they gave her. Her coat was beautifully soft and clean from all the brushing. I would definitely schedule them again when I am out of town.”
About: I’ve had cats all my life and often have luck getting cats people say don’t like men to cuddle up with me. My current cat has several health conditions so I’m used to taking care of cats who need a little extra care.

“Julie has taken great care of Arnie! He loves to play with Zilla and hang out in the yard. We will definitely bring him to Julie for more daycare in the future!”
“Jenny and Darin were great! They provided updates throughout the day and took great care of our slightly anxious puppy :) Will definitely book with them again!”
“My pup loves daycare with Bobby. He is typically anxious when I leave him, but not with Bobby! He gets so excited to jump out of the car and spend the day in Bobby’s beautiful yard & enjoy walks around the neighborhood. He is satisfied and tired when he gets home, and it relieves the pressure for me to fit in longer walks after the workday. Despite managing other day-to-day commitments through Rover, Bobby provides my dog the attention and care he needs to make him comfortable and happy. Bobby’s home has plenty of space to make any dog feel at home and fit various needs. I’m so grateful I found Bobby close by and I recommend his daycare service to anyone trying to find a flexible, communicative, and friendly daycare option for their doggo!”
“Last minute, but with wonderful communication and top care. I got lots of photos and updates on my old girl. She has separation anxiety so probably not the easiest. But Taylor and her husband are lovely people and took good care of her for the evening! Many thanks❤️”
About: Former full-time human medical provider of 18 years; now available for pup sitting. Takes frequent walks with the neighborhood dog pack. Owner of one special dog named Tennessee. I’m free to organize my schedule between pet sitting and working on my business. Currently available most days until July 20th! Will update calendar when I know more. I like routine. I think pets appreciate kibble and potty breaks on a familiar schedule. I will honor your wishes for care, play, walks, and socializing.
“Wolfy had such a great day with Mary and her family. He can back very happy, and Mary sent several lovely photos of his time. Mary was also flexible with me when my plans changed after booking, which was so appreciated.”
“Kristin and Bruce provided exceptional daycare services. My senior dog initially had anxiety being in a different home. Kristen and Bruce were very attentive and made her feel comfortable.”
“Christine was awesome. She took a late booking and looked after Ollie for the day. She sent updates, photos and made sure she was a good fit before her stay. Will book again”
“Hanna watched my Kira today. She sent me pictures and assured me that Kira was having a great time. She has a nice fenced yard and her dog Sadie is so sweet! Sadie also has the same amount of energy as my dog, they played well together. Kira is wiped out from today’s play day and can’t wait to see Hanna and Sadie again next week!”
“Manuela was great with our dog and I know our dog loved spending time with her! I was nervous to leave our dog with a new person at first, but Manuela met us beforehand and made sure we were comfortable. I would definitely recommend Manuela to anyone looking for care for their pet! She treats pets as if they were her own!”
“Monica is wonderful with Luna. She is communicative and kind, providing multiple updates throughout her stay. Luna had a great time. We look forward to Luna spending time with her again and highly recommend her services.”
“Goose had so much fun! Helen and her mom were the best at making goose feel comfortable and sending lots of updates! I will definitely be rebooking.”
“Grace was a wonderful host for our Golden retriever puppy. She took excellent care of Scout and was very communicative. She even took the time to brush out some of the tangles behind Scouts ears!”
“Lorelei and Gail watched Pistachio for us while we were getting married! They sent us so many of pictures and videos of Pistachio happily playing with their dogs, it made our eventful evening even better. Pistachio came home tired and happy. We truly appreciate the care and communication.”

“Trisha went above and beyond in her time with our two boys today! I am sure they had a wonderful time on their walk and then she played fetch with them which, guaranteed, made her their new best friend!! 🐶🙏🐶”
“Anaya was wonderful with our two dogs. She was always on time and provided timely responses to questions and updates on our fur babies. We would love to have her take care of our dogs again!”
“Hannah has been amazing with my dog. He’s a bit anxious and she has been incredibly patient with him and is building a strong bond with him. Hannah has been super communicative and has been great to work with all around!!”
“I will definitely be booking Robert again, and highly recommend him to anyone! I was luckily enough to book him fairly last minute, and he was kind and willing to help. He walked my dog Daisy twice a day for a two day period. He always took daisy on her full 30 minute walk, and was very communicative, which I really appreciated. Additionally though, my lovely neighbor was telling me a few days later how she had loved talking to Robert. Unbeknownst to me, they had struck up a really nice conversation. It means something when you like your dog walker, but when your neighbor is raving about them, it means even more!”
“My dog loves Hannah! She is reliable and always shows up on time! She makes sure to let me know if she uses the bathroom and is overall very good at what she dos and I highly recommend her!”

I have two friendly cats that are willing to be friends with your pets but they will be upstairs. There are multiple grassy areas to run around in around my condo and trails to walk your pet that will allow them to play in. Treats treats treats❣️
“Sophie was fantastic with Alfie! She walked him for 5 days and did an amazing job every time — always reliable, punctual, and clearly great with dogs. Alfie came back happy and tired out after each walk. I’d highly recommend Sophie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring walker. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Hillary did an amazing job walking my shy pup and quickly won her over! In addition to being amazing with my dog, Hillary did and excellent job communicating with me about how my dog did on their walks, tactics she used to help build up my dog's confidence, and Hillary even helped clean up a potted plant that my dog had knocked over one day. I would highly recommend Hillary to anyone looking for care for their pets!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I’ve always loved animals, and love sitting for them. I’ve walked and taken care of dogs from puppy to senior age. I love getting to know dogs and giving them the best care! I work at a coffee shop in Madison, but I am able to walk dogs before 7 am and after 3 pm. I’m very active, so I’ll make sure your pup gets good exercise! I am good at bribing hesitant dogs to go into a kennel if needed. I’m very detail oriented, so before I leave, I’ll make sure every door is locked, every food and water is filled up, and everyone is safe
“Ashley does a great job with my anxious 70lb pittie and really pushes him to walk far (which is something we normally do). She’s punctual and reliable. I’m so lucky to have found her!!”
“Paula was amazing! I know our little guy can get unsure meeting people, by his tail wags he was happy to see her! She was very understanding, accommodating, and showed lots of love to Harvey! She took care of him at our home and at her house. From the pictures he looked like he was in a resort getting sunshine! Highly recommend her she is super caring and nice! Thank you Paula!”
About: I'm an animal lover who has years of experience with dogs, cats, and rabbits! I educate myself on animal behavior and find that it really helps me be able to meet their needs. Not afraid to administer medication or go the extra mile for whatever a loved pet needs. I'm available Monday-Friday during business hours, 9-4:30pm. I'm very flexible and weekends are also available upon request, especially if it's a long duration of sitting needed. I'm completely ready to adhere to any standards that clients have in their home. I am very communicative and will reach out if instructions need clarification.
About: I’ve worked/volunteered at the Humane Society for two years. I’ve watched friends dogs since I was 12 years old. Love to take dogs on walks, to the dog parks and just spend time with them. I have 2 dogs already at home so I can only watch your pets at your house. I currently work full time so pretty much work around my full time job. I’m more available in the afternoons, there are some days that i can do mornings. I treat them like my own with all the tender love and care they need. I have a fenced in backyard that the dogs love to play in.

“Ronalisa did wonderfully! Floyd is high energy and can be pushy- so at first I was worried as we had never boarded through Rover before. But it was quickly apparent than Rona was confident and capable even with young and crazy dogs like Floyd. She always got back to me quickly and sent the cutest videos of them playing fetch, swimming, and hiking around. Her dogs are also great too! They helped Floyd play appropriately but still have fun. I would love to board with Rona again”
“Good communication & flexible with drop off & pick up. Emily made me feel comfortable leaving my girl. She didn't even need the anxiety meds I sent! (my dog, not Emily) =)”
“My 4 legged member of the family had the blessing of spending the weekend with Stephanie. She kept me updated on his stay with videos and pictures. He went for walks and played in their backyard.”

“Elmer absolutely loved staying with Manjusha and Midhun. They sent so many wonderful updates and photos, and kept him well entertained. He was only slightly disappointed to be leaving them to come back home with us 😋. I'd definitely book with them again! Easy to communicate with and flexible with scheduling.”
“Jessica was phenomenal! She watched our 2 dogs over our wedding weekend. We wanted one of them to join us for a bit and she was so helpful, even came and picked her up. She sent lots of photos and updates. We had a meet and greet on her yard so our dogs could meet hers. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up, I cared for rabbits, hamsters, mice, and a pet rat. Today I share my home with my 13 year old cat, Meeko, and my housemate’s friendly 12 year old dog. I recently said goodbye to my senior cat after 16 wonderful years together. During the last few years of his life, I administered medication multiple times a day and became experienced in caring for an aging pet with extra medical needs. That experience strengthened my patience, attention to detail, and understanding that every pet deserves individualized, compassionate care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own pets. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks before and after work, as well as evenings, weekends, and holidays. I also offer limited weekend boarding for one dog at a time so I can provide each guest with plenty of individual attention and care. My goal is to be flexible while making sure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know pets thrive on routine, so I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to medications, favorite toys, and bedtime routines. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of affection. I understand that having a stranger in the house can be stressful for both pets and owners, so I’ll always treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. For boarding, I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play. I only accept one boarding dog at a time so I can provide a calm, personalized experience and ensure every pet receives plenty of attention. My home also includes my cat and my housemate’s dog, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable around cats and other dogs. This helps create a calm, safe environment for everyone.
“Margaret was great with our dog, Comet! She sent photos and updates and Comet seemed very happy both in the photos and when we got back. I would highly recommend booking Margaret and we will try and book her again in the future!”
