“Lindsay was quick to respond to all my messages and made it easy to arrange drop off and pick up. She sent a number of photos of my dog and took her for a number of long walks, just what the dog needs to balance her abundance energy. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Super nice family and home with fenced yard. We needed someone on short notice due to a family emergency. Katie and Samuel offered to be flexible with our return date which we greatly appreciated. Juneau seemed to have done fine.”
“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”
“We had a wonderful experience! This family took excellent care of our mini goldendoodle while we were on vacation—so kind, attentive, and thoughtful. They sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us total peace of mind and showed he was happy and having fun. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Gatsby has stayed with Edith on multiple occasions and always has a wonderful time! We love all of the updates that Edith sends and we know that he is getting the best of care while we are away. Even when our dog has less than stellar behavior Edith takes it all in stride and keeps us updated. Thank you Edith!”
“Just picked up Roux from what I fondly refer to as "Camp Cleda". While happy to see me, I think he is always a bit sad to leave his second home. This was a 2 week trip and I always worry a bit. But Cleda continues to be responsive, kind, and Roux loves her. So thankful!”
About: I have four dog nieces and nephews that I love very much and occasionally watch. I check in on my neighbors dog when needed. I successfully dog sat a Great Dane for a week who I fell in love with. I have a large fenced in yard that is the best for zoomies. I work from home M-F with a flexible schedule to take the dogs out to play or for a walk. The summer months I may be less available during the weekends but during the winter I will have more availability. I have a fenced in yard that is large enough for dogs to run. There are no other animals or children at this house making it a relaxing and peaceful place if the dog needs a more chill environment. I do have two doodle nephews that can come to play if the dog needs to socialize.
“Mary took our dog for our wedding weekend and she was great! Pugsy had a great time with her dog, going on a walk, and going to the dog park! She sent pictures and we did not worry about Pugsy at all! We will definitely book with Mary in the future!”
“Our quirky rescue pup was so well taken care of while we were away! In every update we got it was clear that our dog was feeling more and more comfortable and was left in good hands. We will definitely book again!”
“Robert cared for our two cats over a 13 day span. He was so caring and supportive of them. We are very grateful to have peace of mind while we were away. His daily updates brought us a smile. Thank you Robert!”
“Michelle was amazing! She was super responsive and the boys seemed like they had a great time. She kept us updated every day with messages and pictures. We would definitely go back :)”
“The friendliest family! I had car issues and Martha came to the rescue to grab my dog from the side of the road AND dropped her off at the end of the stay. My favorite rover provider to date”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we were very pleased. ***** We had a meet & greet before booking and I could tell right away that Lucy Liu would be taken care of and left in good hands. 🩷 Hanna was amazing with our 8 month old Shih Tzu. She also would keep us updated and sent pictures to let us know how our sweet girl was doing. We will definitely be booking with Hanna and Sadie (her sweet 3 yr old Boxer) again!!! 🩷🐾🩷 PS.. She also taught Lucy Liu to finally conquer going up stairs, YaY! Thank you again!! Kelli & Tony and Lucy Liu”
“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.”
“I can't recommend Stephanie highly enough! She recently watched our dog, Hazel, and she was truly wonderful from start to finish. From the moment we dropped Hazel off, Stephanie provided excellent and frequent updates, including photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that Hazel was having a great time and felt completely comfortable in her care. Stephanie was incredibly reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely treated Hazel like her own family. Hazel came home tired, happy, and clearly well-loved. If you're looking for a trustworthy, loving, and professional sitter on Rover, book Stephanie—we certainly will be booking her again!”
“Could not be more happy about the care our girl received! She was well taken care of and we received lots of pictures and videos so we knew what she was up to while she was there. Would absolutely book again! :)”
“Cub had an amazing time staying with Lee for an extended weekend. We got daily updates and pictures/videos, and Lee has a great fenced in backyard for dogs to run around and play in. He was also very flexible with drop off and pickup times which was extremely convenient.”

“Natalie cared for my cranky kitty Ozzie with so much confidence and enthusiasm! She graciously accepted an unexpected change in our schedule at the last minute. I will definitely request her services again and highly recommend her to anyone as a caring and compassionate sitter. Thank you so much Natalie!”
“Austin was great! He came over and met the cats before he took the job and we discussed any concerns we have. He gave us pictures of the kitties every time he took care of the cats, played with our youngest kitty every time, and was very understanding when we got the dates of our trip wrong. He even took in the recycling container that we left out and a giant Chewy box (which we were not expecting!). Will definitely consider hiring Austin again in the future if needed! :)”
“It was our first time leaving our kitty for an extended period of time - Anna took excellent care of our girl! She eased my worries with frequent text and photos updates and was very patient getting to know our cat. We also ran into some technical issues (on my end) and Anna was very flexible! We are so grateful for her.”
“Jennifer did her usual great job looking after our three cats. We especially appreciate the pictures she sends us after each visit. It gives us great peace of mind having her care for our girls when we are on vacation. We look forward to having Jennifer stop by when we are out of town in the future.”
“Jennifer was such an amazing sitter for my furry babies. She took her time to ask questions and understand well how to care for them. The updates and pictures always were on point and left me feeling that my babies were in very caring and capable hands. Next time I will look for someone to look after my babies I will go for Jennifer.”
“Thank you for watching felix! Cleda communicates well, very thoughtful and loves animals:) she always leaves a thorough summary each day about your pet and how the visit went. I definitely would recommend Cleda hands down no worries with her at will. Thanks again!”
“Hannah is the best cat sitter!! She helped us out last second cat sit need and could have appreciated it more. Her updates and photos are always great. She is really an excellent cat/house sitter.”
“Maiya did a great job with our cats; she sent pictures every day, the cats loved her, and the house was very clean when we came back from vacation. (She watered the plants and got the mail in as well).”
“Ryan was great. He stopped by once a day to check on my cat, feed him, and clean the litterbox. And we received a picture of my cat every day. Ryan jumped in at the last-minute request, and we greatly appreciated his timeliness and availability. Thank you, Ryan!”
“Yvonne did such an amazing job caring for my kitten, Fazzie. She has such a warm, calming personality that made everything so much easier for him, and he absolutely adored her. She truly went above and beyond. When we ran into issues with my key fob, she even took time out of her day to work with the leasing office to get it fixed. Throughout the entire time I was away, she made sure every one of his needs was met and that he received plenty of love, attention, and comfort. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable hands. I would 100% book with her again.”
“My dogs really like Allegra and she seems to be great with them too. She was great during our meet and greet and spent time to get to know the pups. Will hire again for sure!”

“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Fast response, super friendly. Taylor was able to take our pup at short notice so we could have a family outing and not worry about the dog. He played all day and had a great time.”
About: I've had dogs all my life, of all shapes and sizes. Happy to work with you to meet all the needs of your little critter. I work from home so I am quite flexible and can come visit most times of the day. I also stay up late so late night visits are fine. Honestly, I am happy to work with you. Each pet is different, so if your pet has specific needs, I'm happy to do what will make them comfortable and happy.
“Holly was very receptive to caring for our dog on short notice when we had to be in Madison for a family member’s hospitalization. The home, fenced in yard, companionship of their dog Mocha was wonderful for our little guy. I could tell he was exercised and loved while in her care.”
“Martha is so great, she accommodated us last minute which was so helpful! She sent update pictures which I really appreciate! Uma was in great care and had fun with her boys. They took her for walks and played with her. I’d recommend Martha and her family :)”
“Jeanette is wonderful! Panda had an absolute blast at her house. He was completely worn out and slept for a full 10 hours when he returned home. Jeanette also sent me a lot of pictures and videos of Panda during his stay. When I arrived to pick him up at her house, Panda looked so comfortable on her couch that it almost seemed like he didn’t want to leave. I wholeheartedly recommend her and will definitely book with her 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!”
“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.”

“Allegra has been so helpful, not only in walks but also advice! My dog has had a crusty nose that hasn’t gone away even with vets advice and she was able to give me tips that got it so much better.”
“Jennifer is great with my big, goofy Mastiff-Pitty mix! He loves his walks with her and loves when she comes to pup sit at the house. It’s all goofy smiles from the pup!”
“Michelle is spectacular! This was my first Rover experience and I was quite concerned my pup wasn't going to cooperate with a (relative) stranger for a walk BUT from the moment they met for a Meet and Greet Michelle was his friend. It's obvious she truly loves dogs and I know mine loves the time they spend together. I strongly recommend Michelle to any Rover user and will recommend this app to friends.”
About: I have experience working at Paw Pals taking care of cats and dogs. I have also raised and cared for hamsters, horses, birds and bunnys. I'm currently working part-time to only care for animals so I have plenty of time for your animals! Let me know when you need me and I will be there! They will get the time they need. ❤️ Your pet will have the whole downstairs to themselves and lots of play space. 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❣️
“Molly takes excellent care of my dog. She is communicative, very respectful of my home, kind to my dog, and ensures my dog’s safety every booking. I am lucky to have found Molly. I will definitely book again!”
“Stephanie was great with my sometimes challenging Australian cattle dogs. She communicated well, was flexible in terms of exact timing, and really seem to enjoy my pups, and they really like her. Highly recommended.”
“Ashley was so wonderful! Helped me in a pinch and did it so professional! Shared updates and pictures. This was my first time using Rover and was a touch nervous, but I can now say I’d definitely do it again! Thanks, Ashley!”
“Victor always does a great job with my little Buddy. Sometimes I am nervous about how my dog might react around a new person, but Victor has been amazing and Buddy loves when he visits. Definitely recommend!”
“Alisyn has been wonderful with our dog, Indy! We would highly recommend her for dog walking. She is professional, dependable, and communicative. Most importantly, she made Indy feel very comfortable right away. We greatly appreciate the Rover (Report) Cards and photos after every walk. Thank you, Alisyn!”
About: Our kids LOVE dogs, they pretty much live for them. We can't have our own right now, so we want to love on yours while you're away! We've owned our own dogs, and both of the adults grew up taking care of and loving dogs. We're happy to help reinforce any training that you're doing with your pup! We work during the week, but we can spend the weekend giving full-time care to your dog! We are open to watching your pup during the week, but they would be home alone from about 9am-4:30 pm. Just send me a message if you need longer care than the weekend and we can discuss details! We have a fenced backyard with plenty of room for dogs to run and play fetch. We can offer plenty of outside time and bathroom breaks, we're happy to keep your pet on their typical schedule!
“Jennifer was easy to communicate with and took good care of Tony on his walk and fed him. She arrived as scheduled and kept us updated along the way. We would definitely ask Jennifer to walk Tony again in the future. Thank you!!”
“Michelle is great!! My dog is very shy and slow to warm up to people so I was worried about finding someone to walk him while we are at work but Michelle has been awesome!”
About: I work from home and have flexible hours. My dog loves to play with other dogs and would love to have a friend on walks or to play in our fenced-in yard! Also available to go on solo walks if needed. Can also have behaved dogs stay over during day or night; they will get plenty of love from our dog and our two daughters. Can take the dog for walks, to dog parks, or just hang out in our back yard. I work from home. I can take dogs for walks or dog parks most times during the week, as my meetings can be handled from my phone. If dogs are friendly with our dog, the dog can come play at our house in our fenced in back yard. Weekend mornings are usually free for walks, and depending on kid activities can fit in walks and feedings during the afternoon/evening. I have a fenced in yard and a dog (Australian Shepard) that gets along with almost every dog he’s met. Have many dog toys for play. Neighborhood for walks is quiet and has many friendly dogs. At client’s home, will provide feedings, walks, and/or in-home playtime.
About: I work as an ICU RN and even though this entails humans, I extend my knowledge to animals. It allows me to identify and problem solve health and behavioral issues, with the tools to create solutions. I genuinely offer compassion to all animals, not just cats/dogs. I give my time, respect and patience. I have taken care of all kinds of pets; different species, breeds, sizes, temperaments, and needs, ever since I was a child. My childhood home was always filled with an abundance of animals (& also reptiles, aquatic life and arachnids). I look forward to meeting your extended member of the family! :D The perk of being a RN is that I only 3 days a week. This leaves me extra time during the week for other activities. I am an animal lover, so what better way to fill a few hours of time than with more furry friends! I will not be doing boarding at my own home. I will however treat your home with respect and follow guideline for providing the best care for your fur baby!
“Joseph is great with our AmStaff. The basics of timely and great communication definitely met. But then way above and beyond in his care and exercise of a high energy 5 year old Staffie. Koda is is noticeably and positively impacted by the days Joseph visits. Strongly recommend!!!”

“Amy was a great host. She is a genuinely nice and honest person. This was exhibited immediately when Amy agreed to met Elsa and me the night before our booking. I appreciated the meet and greet, because Elsa had time to transition to Amy's family and home. For the two day booking including an overnight stay, Elsa enjoyed her stay immensely. Amy sent photos and videos of Elsa playing, eating, sleeping, etc. It provided me with comfort to know that Amy was so attentive to Elsa’s well-being. I will continue to engage Amy’s services when I visit Madison, and I recommend others to book with Amy as well.”
“Grace & her wife took such amazing care of our dog, Bourbon, while we were away for two weeks! Grace made this process so smooth, and we felt so secure with our decision from the get go. We received daily updates, and so many photos! Grace went above and beyond and more! 100000/10 recommend Grace, she will take your pet in as if they are her own. Zero complaints, I cannot recommend her enough!! Thank you!!!!”
“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.

“Ryan and Jocelyn (and their girls) are truly incredible. They have watched our dog multiple times now, and do such a wonderful job caring for her! Our dog has quite a lot of energy, and they work hard to take her on walks, play with her, and care for her so kindly. We trust them completely, and would recommend them to anyone! Thank you Ryan and Jocelyn!”
“Gen has been very easy to work with. Extremely flexible on pick ups and drop offs. She gives daily updates with photos. My pup is always excited to see her which says a lot. I have no qualms of leaving my dog with her for multiple days. Definitely a good choice.”
