“They did a great job providing updates and showing that our dog was having a great time. They were responsive and easy to work with, and could tell that they really cared for our dog.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Lindsay took great care of my dog, Taydo. Long walks, snoozes on her couch, and photos to keep me updated. I believe LIndsay to be completely trustworthy which is really important for a pet sitter.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Thank you guys very much for watching Boni. I think she had a great time with you guys and she was very tired when she got home. I think she loved having a fenced in yard.”
“Edith was wonderful,she kept me updated everyday with pictures and text messages. We were gone for ten days and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was taking care of and giving the best care to my two dogs. 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.”

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!”
“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!!!”
“Stefanie and her family were so loving to my little dog Dolly! I cant say enough about how accommodating they were while I was away in Arizona for the week. I highly recommend them for your pups dog sitting needs! Will be using them again in the future for sure. Dolly sure does miss them all!”

“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!”
“Our cats warmed up to Marri quickly which was great and also surprising since they don’t usually like strangers. Marri gave us good updates every time and took plenty of cute photos too”
“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.”
“I can’t recommend my Alissa enough—truly one of the best experiences I’ve had. From the very beginning, she handled everything with so much ease, patience, and professionalism. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and just genuinely kind throughout the entire time. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in her care, which says a lot. She went above and beyond in small ways too. Overall, she made the entire experience stress-free and seamless. I would recommend her 100 times over without hesitation!”
“Carlee went above and beyond when a few unexpected things happened during her time with my two cats. I highly recommend her to anyone for her attention to detail and care!”
“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.”

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.
“Courtney was great with our senior cats! She gave them lots of snuggles and pets during drop in visits, and she really went the extra mile in cleaning up some accidents that the cats had in the house. It was really wonderful to know that the cats, and our home, were cared for so well.”
“Nate cat sit for me for a little over a week and was exceptional. It was my first time away from my two cats for so long, and Nate’s frequent updates and pictures really helped put me at ease. Nate frequently spent extra time with them, and I know they’re currently missing how much Nate played with them. I would highly recommend Nate and will use him again.”

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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Yecid was very attentive to my dog's care. He followed Max's feeding instructions and kept me informed and sent me photos throughout the day. I truly recommend this sitter. Thank you for your services, which I will use in the future.”
“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: 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.
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!
About: Hello there! While growing up with dogs it was very clear to me from an early age that dogs are the most warm amazing creatures. While we don't have any pets of our own right now our most recent best friend was a rescue Maltipoo who required special care and I truly adored taking care of her. Which is why you can trust me to love your family member as of it were my own! My typical day is really flexible. l workout in the morning however, I stay at home so I'm lucky my entire day has plenty of time freedom so I can love and cuddle your fur baby 24/7 which is important to me. I grew up in this area and have been here my whole life. My husband and I bought a house in Fitchburg 5 years ago and absolutely love our safe quiet little neighborhood. We have sidewalks and I love walking dogs- most likely wouldn't even see anyone else on our walks because of how quaint it is here. I can easily crate your dog if you prefer but in my home your pet is created like a human and is welcome to sleep in bed with me and to follow me around and be my shadow during the day!
About: I am a person who truly loves taking care of dogs. I believe they are extremely important members of our lives and our families. Dogs bring joy, love, and positive energy into our home, and they always make us feel happier and more comfortable. I enjoy spending time with them, caring for their needs, and making sure they feel safe and loved. For me, dogs are not just pets, they are loyal companions who make our home a better place. Many years ago, I worked as a caregiver, and I have many years of experience taking care of dogs. Through that experience, I have learned how to understand how dogs feel by observing their actions, behavior, and body language. I pay close attention to their needs, moods, and energy levels to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Caring for dogs is something I take very seriously and do with patience and dedication. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I follow the pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, playtime, and rest. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language to understand how they are feeling and to meet their needs. I also keep their living area clean, provide exercise and companionship, and communicate with owners to ensure their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Robert is one of my favorite Tover sitters. He is incredibly professional and takes good care of my little peanut, Ziva. Gives walk reports and sends a few pix during the day. Highly recommended; I have referred him a few others. He is a busy guy - book early! Thanks so much🐾♥️🐾.”
“5+ stars. Such a great sitter. Our dog Holly had a wonderful time there. Holly did a ton of running and playing with the other dogs. Originally we had Holly to just be watched during the day. I had something come up that night and Emma agreed to keep Holly overnight and I picked Holly up afternoon next day. Emma is an awesome dog watcher and I highly recommend!! Will be back again!! A+ work”

“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!”
“I needed some last minute help with my senior dog, and Alissa responded back quickly and was able to help me out!! She came to meet our pets and get the layout, and helped us out almost right away! She is very kind and gentle with our Murphy and even gives our two cats some loving even though we booked her for a dog walk! As someone with OCD and anxiety, my brain and body feel comfortable and safe with Alissa taking care of our senior puppy when we aren’t at home. Looking forward to hopefully booking with her again!!”
About: Currently in medical school so looking to make some extra money. I’m always the first one asked to watch pets for friends, family, and classmates. I’ve got my own fur babies but I can never get enough and love to help ensure other peoples pets are well taken care of when they are away. I love to send photos to update owners. I’m currently in school with a reduced schedule for the summer so I’m able to have a flexible schedule right now. Come fall things will be different I’m used to working with pets who have all manner of needs and personalities. I’ve always been good about making a good bond with new pets and respecting their personal space while also keeping them entertained and safe.
“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!!”
“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.”
“Appreciated Bobby walking my dog twice a day while I was out of town unexpectedly. Enjoyed receiving pics and the logistical updates from the walks. Set my mind at ease.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life and currently care for my own pets, including a senior cat with special dietary and medical needs. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable monitoring behavior changes, administering routine care, and following detailed instructions. As a psychology graduate from UW–Madison, I am patient, observant, and dependable. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to build trust while keeping routines consistent. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, medication management, or simply a calm and reliable presence, I will care for them as if they were my own. I am especially comfortable with cats, senior pets, shy animals, and pets that benefit from extra patience and attention. I ’m currently building my pet-sitting business and have a flexible schedule for drop-in visits, dog walks, and cat care throughout the week, as well as house-sitting. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make every effort to follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and playtime. I’ll always communicate clearly and provide updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can relax and maintain as much of their normal routine as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise needs, and any special care requests. I am attentive to behavior changes and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages throughout their stay. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“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: I’m an incoming veterinary student and pet owner. I’ve grown up taking care of my cat and dog and love spending my time with animals. I have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past 3 years. Daily dog walks are an important part of my routine and I have a flexible schedule. I love meeting new people and animals on the island! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and am an active person. I also keep my dog leashed and am amenable to dog’s specific needs.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life which convinced me to get my own dog a little over two years ago! I really enjoy taking dogs on walks and adventures around town. My dog is black and has thick fur so it definitely depends on the weather where we end up going on a walk (whether there is water or a shaded area). I also enjoy taking dogs to the dog park if they enjoy other pups. I can watch small dogs and big dogs (who might pull the leash a little harder). I am a teacher currently so I have the summer to have a chill job that’s flexible for my needs and other peoples needs as well. I will treat your pets as if they were my own. If you have a schedule where you need to let your dog out every other hour I can help out. I can also do something more chill where they just need to be fed early morning or late at night. Taking trips and being busy is part of life so I will help ease your stress about your little fur babies schedule.
About: I’ve take care of dogs for over 10+yrs. When family are out of town they always call me. I like to take dogs on long walks, feed them and take them to the dog parks. My full time job is ending with in the next 2weeks so I am free for the whole summer. When the summer is over I’ll only be available after 2:30pm I will be watching the dogs at the clients home or watching the dogs out on the community. This will also depend on the rules of the clients home
“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!”
“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!”

“Juan has great! He and his son were very attentive with our dog. We were sent pictures throughout the day, and given updates about how our boy was doing! He has very high anxiety with strangers, and he had no problem calming down and napping with this family! When booking, we were told another dog would also be in Juan's care. He made sure that was okay with us, and went above and beyond to make sure our dogs never crossed paths (as we don't know if our dog is good with others yet) If you need a sitter, Juan is a great option! Very flexible, kind, and an overall great influence on your furry friend!”
“We appreciate the photo updates and great care Astro gets with Da Yeon and her partner. Both kind and take him for walks and let him snuggle with them on the couch- they treat him like family.”
“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!”
“Margaret was beyond sweet and accommodating, she took excellent care of my senior pup and gave her plenty of attention, care, and exceptional feedback. We’re new to the area and will only book with her, she's earned a trusted client. Highly recommend Margaret for any pet sitting needs!”
