It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet is well taken care of. We look forward to working with Edith again and we’ll recommend her to our friends.”

“Kristin and Bruce were fantastic. From the moment we stepped into their home they were welcoming of us and our dog, and it was obvious we made the right choice. They were loving and caring and we are certain that carried on throughout our dogs stay with them. Pictures and updates were sent and they kept to her normal routine, even when sleeping. Our dog was excited to see us again...but was torn and demanding good byes from Kristen, Bruce, and the kids (hoping to go back). Definitely a wonderful experience for us and your dog!”

“Cleda was a wonderful sitter for Gauge and August! She sent pictures and kept us updated on how the dogs were doing and how much fun they were having! Although I missed them, I knew they were in good hands and was able to enjoy my vacation without worry. The personalized pawgress report was so sweet and clever, it was nice reading how well the dogs behaved for her. I would highly recommend Cleda to anyone and everyone!!!”
“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!”
“Michelle and her family were fantastic! Her kindness, responsiveness and regular updates put us at ease during our trip, as it was clear our two dogs were having a great time. Their fenced in backyard was a huge plus, as one of our dogs enjoys spending a lot of time outside. We also greatly appreciate their flexibility when our travel plans had to be adjusted. We highly recommend Michelle and plan to have her watch our dogs in the future!”
“Olivia watched my cat, Tony, for 8 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care alongside her two cats. I received daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Tony was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. 10/10!”
“Robert was wonderful. I felt really good leaving my fur baby with him. He sent updates and pictures which I really appreciated. I would definitely book with Robert again.”

I highly recommend Helen and Min to anyone who wants to have there bets to receive 5 star care for their pets.”
“Holly is the BEST EVER!! She loves your pet like it is her own. My dog loved the time with her so much, he was looking for her and her dog for days after he came home. He went there sleeping in a crate at night at my house, to snuggling with me in my bed upon his return. She is the only person I will ever let watch my dog from here on out!!”
“Tessa did an amazing job watching Rena. She gave the best pup-dates complete with pictures and videos so we had peace of mind knowing our gal was doing ok! Tessa took extra care understanding Rena had some anxiety and gave her love, attention, and - most importantly - lots of walks and outdoor time. We can’t thank Tessa enough!”

“Natalie took care of my cat Oliver multiple times while I was away. She is very communicative and accommodative. She has always been a pleasure to work with and goes above and beyond expectations!”
“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!”
“Once again, I am incredibly happy with the care Kim provides to my fur babies. She’s the type of sitter I’d rearrange a trip for to ensure she’s available to watch after my kittens. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“I'm so relieved to have Maiya. I've already rebooked her for my next trip, and I don't even have my tickets for the trip bought yet. Jackson cat is a typical cat, but his stamp of approval is on this review too. As indicated by photo evidence of him coming out from under his bed for a snack on DAY 2! Snag her if you're lucky enough to have the chance.”
“Cleta did an amazing job taking care of our 3 cats while we were gone. She left thorough updates after each visit and took lots of pictures. It made me appreciate our vacation even more knowing our pets were in excellent care!”
“Sabrina took amazing care of our two cats, including our asthmatic boy Sebastian who needs a daily inhaler. We received daily updates and photos, and it was clear the cats were happy and comfortable in her care. On top of that, Sabrina went above and beyond by picking up our mail and even watering a plant (little things that made a big difference). Would definitely recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for a responsible and genuinely kind sitter!!”
“She did such a good job with my 2 fur babies! I was on a long trip (overseas!!) and was so anxious about it, especially with one of my 2 cats needing very specific feeding directions! She was thorough, quick to respond, and it was such a good sign that my shy guy came out to see her every time! So happy with her services and would 1000% book again”
“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.”
“My cats really enjoyed Steve's company and I really enjoyed his attention to detail in caring for them while I was out of town. I won't hesitate to book Steve again & recommend him for drop in visits without reservation.”
“Mandy did an amazing job with our feline friends. We have one who has an owie so has been wearing the cone of shame so I was nervous, but Mandy handled it well, which made me feel comfortable the whole time.”
“Michelle always does a great job. My shy cat loves her. Any time there’s an issue she proactively reaches out. She goes above and beyond what I’d expect from a sitter every time.”
“Allegra has been great with Ozzie and very supportive of our schedule with helping out with his potty breaks, dinners and play times. Ozzie loves to see her every time she visits! Thank you again Allegra for looking after Ozzie 😁🙏🏼”
“Alisyn is amazing! She did such a great job watching my cat Cleo while I was gone for a month and sent so many pictures. She left the apartment super clean. You can tell she genuinely loves the animals she cares for.”
“Oh my gosh, I just can't say enough good things about how well loved my pets (2 cats) and home felt with Whitney checking in while I was out of town. I loved seeing pictures of my girls every day and reading updates about their activities. Whitney kept my plants watered, collected my mail and even took my trash (bagged/scooped kitty litter) to the outside bin rather than leave it in the covered waste bin in my laundry room (which I'd said would be fine). Whitney is really responsive with regard to communication and I really appreciated the lovely note that she left to welcome me home. All in all, she is a lovely and conscientious person and caregiver. I will definitely be asking her to manage my home whenever I'm away.”
“Isabel did an amazing job watching my cat Gio for the week. She was attentive & communicative. I really appreciated the regular photo updates as it gave me peace of mind knowing he was doing well while I was away. She was also very responsive and easy to coordinate with from start to finish. I’d absolutely trust her to watch Gio again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter. First time using Rover and was super happy with how it all went.”

“5 stars! Can’t sing Julie enough praises! I feel so absolutely at ease while my Cookie is in Julie’s care. Thank you for being a safe and comfortable place for our pup.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Gen hosted our pup on his first birthday and went out of her way to make him feel special on his big day. It definitely put this worrying puppy mom at ease knowing he was having such a fantastic time with Sasha and Gen while we were gone. His face always perks up when we pull into their driveway and he never wants to leave!”
“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.”
About: My love for animals started as a child going to dog shows and pet sitting for friends. I love watching shows like Caesar Milan and PitBulls and Parolees. Over the years, I have owned multiple cats with varying personalities and temperaments, petsat, and walked all sizes of dogs from chihuahuas to Irish wolfhounds. Also, I have worked with aggressive or easily overexcited breeds. If your pet is like this, just let me know and I will do my best to care for them. I decided to become a professional on Rover because I am passionate about animals and enjoy every minute with them. It also provides me with the flexible hours I need to care for my young daughters. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I am currently a full time mom, but have plenty of time to play with, walk, and care for your fur babies while my girls are in school. I am available after 8:30 am for drop ins or walks. For boarding I am able to keep overnight. I have a large, fenced yard for dogs to run, play, and do their business. I can keep pets separated upstairs and downstairs if needed. I am very respectful of other's personal property if you need me to care for your pets in your own home.
“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.”
“Helen and her mom were so great to my pup Rooster. They took him on two walks and sent several pictures, which put my mind at ease. Definitely recommend!”
“Edith is your dream sitter. She posts daily photos and updates of your pet. She obviously loves what she does. She is a lovely soul and my Mimi, who can be shy, had her tail up in the photos which made me feel reassured that she was in a safe, loving environment.”
“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.”
About: I've had dogs ever since I was a little kid and would do anything for them. I've also worked with dogs for the past 2 years. I have a Rat Terrier of my own and will make sure to treat your dog like they're my own. I’m used to all kinds of dogs whether it be age, energy level, or condition as I’ve had a mix of all at my job and growing up! I'm a student with lots of breaks between my classes meaning I’m usually only gone for less than two hours and I have lots of free time on the weekends. Max I’ll be gone is four hours, but that rarely happens. My dog is very friendly and energetic, but also knows when a dog doesn’t want to play. She’s very silly and loves to sleep! I live near the lake and can take your dog out often as there’s a nice trail along the lake and campus is pedestrian friendly. I live in an apartment, so I’m looking to host dogs who are comfortable in a quieter environment. Since I share walls with neighbors, I’m best suited for dogs who aren’t big barkers. That being said, I love dogs with a personality! A little energy and playfulness is totally welcome, I just ask that barking is kept to a minimum. Dogs are allowed to free roam around the apartment whether I’m with them or gone. If your puppy has energy to burn but knows when to settle down, we’ll get along great! In your own home I will take on any type of dog with any energy level! I will make sure to care for your dog while you are away just as you care for them while you’re in your house. A dogs safety and their comfort are a top priority for me! I also have a fenced in patio with dog grass if your pup needs a quick potty break!
“Robert was flexible and communicative. I wasn’t worried about my dogs in his care at all, and they seemed to have had a great time based on how tired they were when they got home. We look forward to working with him again in the future.”
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.
“Jiayi has been super helpful watching my 13 week old golden retriever puppy! I was nervous to leave him with anyone since he’s still so young, but Jiayi sent pictures, videos, and updates multiple times throughout the day. She has everything needed for a puppy and goes above and beyond. I never worry when I take him to her house as I know he’s in great friends and gets to play with her dog Luca. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a daycare:)”

“Allegra has been walking our mastiff and doing a great job working on leash skills. We got Bixby as a rescue so he’s needed a lot of extra TLC to relearn things at 3-4 years old. Allegra totally gets him.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
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.
“Jennifer was great with my big, goofy mastiff-pitty mix! And Jupiter/JuJu loved his walk and sniff time with her…he came back ready for a nap! Glad to have Jennifer on board as part of Jupiter’s team!”
About: I’m very attentive and adaptable, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need a little extra patience. I follow routines closely and always focus on creating a calm, positive experience. care fits seamlessly into my routine. I’m not working a full-time job, so I have the flexibility to prioritize walks, drop-ins, and quality time with each dog. I love staying active, and spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy every day. I’m flexible and attentive, and I always follow your rules and routines. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in your home.
“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!”
“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!!!”
“Austin did a great job walking Carmello. He responded to a last minute booking and I couldn’t have been more happy with his services. Have already booked him again and hopefully more in the future.”
“Michelle was fantastic! My dog Samson took to her right away and she did a great job keeping me updated on how he was doing while I was away on vacation, which gave me huge peace of mind. Will definitely use her for dog walks in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been caring for dogs since I was around 10 years old. I grew up around dogs, helped train my family’s pups, and have been the go-to dog sitter for family and friends for years. I’m comfortable with walks, baths, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, or a little goofy, I’ll treat them like they’re my own :) I’m currently a graduate student finishing my final courses online this summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available by request in the mornings, afternoons, and on weekends, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. My goal is to be flexible and reliable so I can step in and provide consistent care whenever you need help with your pets :) I always aim to make them feel as comfortable, safe, and loved as possible. I’m very adaptable and I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs. Before any booking, I like to ask a few questions about your pet’s habits, personality, and preferences so I can provide the best care tailored specifically to them. I follow feeding, walking, and medication routines closely and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. If I’m in your home, I also respect your space and keep things clean and consistent for your pet so they feel secure in their familiar environment.
“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!”
About: I've had cats, dogs, fish, and rodents, and would love to share my time with even more beloved pets! I worked at a vet clinic for awhile, so safety will be my number one priority. I currently volunteer with a local cat rescue. I even worked with a wildlife rehabilitation center a few years ago, so no animal would be outside my comfort zone, although I have little experience with reptiles. I work full time during the week, but will have about 45 minutes to devote to your furry friend around midday! I am flexible before and after my job, and am often available during weekend days and holidays. I will not offer boarding services, however, I am happy to schedule my time around your fur baby to ensure that they get the love and care they deserve! I am comfortable caring for (feeding, walking, brushing, etc.) and medicating (with instruction) dogs and cats, if necessary!
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❣️
“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!”

Emily was excellent with communication, updates, and giving Dove her daily pill. I knew Dove was being so well taken care of, and I (and she) look forward to having her stay with Emily again in the future!”
“Taylor did a great job making sure Madigan was comfortable and adjusted. Madigan enjoyed her stay and the care she received. The only unknown was how Madigan would tolerate the cats and some dogs since her diagnosis of advanced heart disease. She did okay sometimes and sometimes not. It probably fluctuates with how she's feeling in the moment. There were no major issues. I highly recommend Taylor as an option for your pet!”
“Brad was available on very short notice for us to get away for the weekend. We are very thankful that he took on our gentle giant. Mac had a great stay and we got picture updates as well.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Sophia’s care for our dog Shorty! From start to finish, she was a pleasure to work with. Her communication throughout the entire stay was outstanding — she regularly checked in and sent photos that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Knowing Shorty was in great hands made all the difference to us. Most importantly, Shorty came home happy, relaxed, and comfortable, which says everything about the care Sophia provided. We highly recommend Sophia. We hope to book with her again!”
