“Jessica is the best sitter I have ever had on Rover!!! She took great care of my Mickey and provided lots of updates throughout each day. Will definitely book with her again, my dog had a great time with her and her dogs!!”
“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!”

“Jessie was great. He's expensive, but absolutely worth it. My dog came down with an illness a week before a planned vacation, I needed to board her with someone that could administer her meds and where she was isolated with other dogs. Jessie was able to handle her situation, and spoiled the heck out of her as well. I'd definitely book with him again.”

“Brittany did a great job taking care of my three cats, including dealing with some inappropriate urination one of my cats was doing. She did an extra cleaning of the pine litter boxes which I really appreciated.”

“Joan provided absolutely fantastic care for our senior cat! She gave lots of updates and clearly made the extra effort to make Gus feel cared for while we were away. She is extremely communicative. Thank you Joan!”
“Heather was so great looking after our fur babies! We were gone for a week on a road trip, and the regular updates, including videos of our kitties playing helped me know they were all happy and healthy, and relieved any anxiety I had about being gone for so long. It was really great. Heather was also very on top of the litter boxes and trash, and very thoughtful and considerate. I would absolutely contact her again next time we are out of town.”

“Katherine was very responsive and flexible. She seemed to put a lot of thought into making sure my cat was having a good time, making sure that she had both play time and cuddle time.”
“Vanessa was absolutely wonderful! Great communicator — with people and pets alike. Very attentive to my kitty and spent time laying on the ground and meeting him where he was to earn trust and make him comfortable. Definitely recommend!!”

Made sure to ask questions about sky and her needs to make her as comfortable as possible!! Sent lots of pictures and updates and did was great about making sure sky was eating!”

“I knew Alyssa was going to be the perfect pet sitter for my two kitties when I first met her and she was super cuddly with my little gray boy. But when she sent not only photos but a video which featured my very nervous, very reclusive gray tuxedo girl my first impressions were confirmed! Alyssa was wonderful. I trusted her with my precious buddies and in my home and will definitely trust her in the future!”
“Keely was great. Good communication and took wonderful pics of my cats during her visits while making sure everything was in order. Couldn’t have gone any smoother.”
About: I’ve had cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been helping care for them since I was 10 years old. From feeding and grooming to playtime and snuggles, caring for cats has always come naturally to me. I’m experienced with administering medications, including pills and topical treatments, and I understand the importance of gentle, stress-free handling. Whether your cat is playful or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home.
“Carly took care of Chester for 1 week as drop-in sitter. My cat looks healthy and handsome as ever. I arrive with a chatty cat greeting me and I get it. I will book Carly again in the future because she not only took care of my cat’s needs (spoiled-prince) but she also respected my place and she is trustworthy and professional.”
“Anna is wonderful! Our cats love her and she sends us the best updates when she is checking on them. She puts us at ease when we are away. Looking forward to having her check on our cats in the future!”
“Mersadies came through for us on a holiday weekend at the last minute! She was a wonderful sitter to our three cats. She was very responsive and sent us great feedback and some sweet photos. Our cats were happy when we came home and our home was clean! We would definitely book her again 😊”
“Kathryn did an amazing job caring for my grumpy old cat, Rumor. He doesn't usually like strangers, but she got him to play with toys and always spent time with him. I felt better knowing that she was checking in on him everyday!”
“Keezieng's assistance was a lifesaver this holiday season. His politeness and kindness when meeting us and our cat Olivia was reassuring and he did a great job of updating us during his visits while we were away. We’re so grateful for the excellent care provided!”

“We were lucky to have Cynthia as our dog sitter. Cynthia and her family were able to watch our dog Gary on short notice, which made us really happy. Right from the beginning, Cynthia communicated with us well and was very friendly and understanding. We felt comfortable leaving Gary with Cynthia. She sent regular updates with photos and wrote a lovely Rover card at the end, filled with pictures and lots of details. It was so thoughtful and sweet. We would definitely recommend her to others without hesitation. Cynthia is professional, kind, and genuinely loves dogs. Thank you for taking such great care of Gary and being an outstanding dog sitter!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Mace. We haven’t had a night out since we got him. So we were able to enjoy a soccer game without worry. Thank you Ben!!”
About: I work remotely and have a fenced in yard so I’m able to look after and hang out with your dog throughout the day. My dog, Milo, is a pup who is the chillest pup I’ve ever met but also loves to play with other dogs and say hi to strangers. I make an effort to make sure owners pets stick to their schedules and I enjoy the active time with them too. I work from home allowing me to watch over pets throughout the day and ensure they have enough outside time and whatever else they may need. I try to stick to owners house rules and routines. I’m an early bird allowing for morning time to get energy out and for pets to start their day with me.
“Jieqi was very responsive and welcoming to us and our puppy. Luna was well cared for and we received a photo and update even for just a 4 hour stay. I highly recommend Jieqi and will be using her again.”
“Our 2 year old Norfolk Terrier Finn recently spent the day with Robert and had a fabulous time! Lots of walks for Finn and pictures sent to us during the day. I had great piece of mind knowing that Finn was well cared for by Robert, who is great with dogs (as well as people too)! I would have Finn stay with Robert again for sure!”
“Briana is such a kind and empathetic individual! Although my doggy day care was last minute, I felt reassured that Semi was in good hands. Truly someone you can trust with your pups!”
“Hi Elizabeth, I just wanted to say thank you for taking such great care of Fox! I really appreciated the updates while I was away. It’s clear you gave her lots of attention and care, and I could tell she was happy and comfortable with you. I’d absolutely trust you again and would happily recommend you to others. Thanks again!”
“I just can't say enough about how amazing Sarah and Zach are and how much it means to us to have our active social 1 1/2 year old lab in their care. They understand him, take care of him as one of their own and make it so easy to coordinate and communicate.”
“Emily took great care of our pup, Toby! He is 10 weeks old and she was capable of managing the extra needs of a young puppy. Emily was very communicative and responsive to messages. We would send our pup to be cared for by her again!”
“AJ (Julie) was so great!! My Rambo and her Duncan played all day each day of his 4 days in her care & AJ sent me the funniest, cutest photos of the two of them. She even takes them to the park! Rambo comes home absolutely exhausted each day which is pretty fantastic!”
“Our 3 dogs love going to Kara’s. They run in the door and barely look back at us. We know they’re having a great time by the photos Kara sends us during their stay. She takes wonderful care of them.”
“Nicole and her kids were great. They were very kind and caring with my dog snooper. They have two other dogs that of course want to protect their owner .. but Nicole was careful to keep them on leash or contained during meet n greet. She thoughtfully considered my apprehension about leaving snooper with 3 dogs (they had another for day care I learned later) and figured out ways to keep the dogs separated. The kids were so loving to little snooper I think he had a lot of private attention! Nicole sets a great example for dog care for her kids—- as did her father who was around during meet and greet. So nice to see children take such loving interest in animals.”
“Grace was great to work with! She was very quick to respond and provided me with the peace of mind that my dog was well taken care of. Highly recommend Grace to anyone in the Madison area!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages since I was a child! I grew up on a farm and have had Rottweilers, Pitbulls, cats, horses, and lots of animals of various sizes in between. I love all dogs and cats from chihuahuas to Great Danes and would love to care for your pet as well :) I currently work 3 days a week so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available 4 days out of the week and will have those 4 days off to devote to your pet! I live right on the Katy Trail and walk there everyday. I have no pets of my own so there’s no need to worry about negative interactions. I am also willing to take your pets to any appointments they may have!

About: I’m all of my friends and families first choice to watch their pets when they are out of town. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds of dogs and many cats as well. I’ve always had dogs in my life growing up so I’m very familiar with reading their body language and knowing how to care for them. I work full time but have a lot of flexibility to check on your pet throughout the day and have the opportunity to work remote as well I’ve never a met a pet that didn’t like me. I’m very good at reading dogs body langue and knowing what they need. Cats also like me and I’m good at reading their body language as well

“Anna is always communicative, professional, punctual, respectful, and, most importantly, fantastic with my animals! Both my dog and cat have warmed up to her so much in the last few months and look forward to her visit every Friday.”
“Lora was reliable and really gave extra. She came out before hand to learn the dogs and their routes. I am currently disabled and she was so helpful bringing in packages. She took each dog on extra laps if they failed to do their business the first round. We will not hesitate to call Lora the next time we need someone.”
“Our Great Dane loves Ben. He has had great communication with us during all of his walks and has made sure that Bruno has “done his business” in the mornings. He is our favorite walker”
About: I have lived with large dogs my entire life and own 2 cats of my own, one of which I take for walks outside on a leash every day. I am responsible, communicative, and compassionate. Pet happiness is very important to me! I am currently unemployed so my time is very flexible, both during the week and weekends. I am usually unavailable Friday afternoons but that can be flexible as well I love caring for animals in the way that clearly makes them feel safe and happy whether it is the smallest, weirdest, or most random things. I am happy to tailor the experience to each individual pet and their owner, and take safety and communication very seriously as that is what I would want for my cats
About: I am currently working from home, so I have ample availability. I have a large black lab with special needs, so I know what animal lovers do for their pets!! If your pet needs a little extra attention, I have what you need! I can walk up to three dogs at a time, and am willing to work with hard to handle animals if the fit is right. For overnight stays, your pet will have to get along with my sweet 6 year old lab, and she loves to make new friends. Know how hard it is to leave your pet in the hands of someone else, so I will make sure they are safe and happy when they are with me. Please let me know if you have questions!!!!

“Oliver was great with our three dogs, and they warmed up to him right away! Thanks so much for the walks, Oliver :) We'd absolutely recommend Oliver and will reach out to him for any future pet care.”
About: I have been an animal lover all of my life; from dogs, to cats to rodents and turtles and more. I know that a well-trained pet requires attention and routine. I am proud to offer consistent potty breaks, playtime and walks to keep your best friend happy and healthy while you are away. I am more so available on the weekends (Friday-Sunday) but am willing to help with daily potty breaks, meal time and walks throughout the week. I have a pretty flexible schedule so if you do require overnights during that week, I am willing to accommodate. I look forward to helping you feel more secure in your decision to use a pet sitter over leaving them in a kennel. Your pet family will be welcomed as one of my own.
“Ernst is super friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. We have 70 lbs adolescent pup who has a lot of energy to give. Ernst is great at keeping our pup in line. I already notice an improvement in our pet’s loose leash walking!”
About: I have done petsitting (cats and dogs) for over 15 years. Usually for animals where I personally know the owners and have spent time with the animal to create a bond/relationship. I want to full disclose with new perspective pets parents: I have a full time, in-office job with the standard business hours, Monday through Friday. If that's not what you are looking for in a house sitter, I understand. If I had a pet of my own, I would ensure all their needs are met. As a petsitter, I would to ensure their animal's life doesn't change or I could make it better in some small way especially since their parent(s) is gone I stay at the animal's home to care for them so their life isn't different than what it usually is for them. Changing their environment can be quite shocking and stressful to them. I try not change their lifestyle too much while the parent is gone
About: I work from home so I can care for your pets on a flexible schedule... I have experience taking care of both dogs since I was a teenager. I'm a mommy to 2 cute cats & 1 dog. I have trained, groomed, lived with, cared for, & walked both dogs & cats (yes, cats!). I absolutely love all animals & treat all creatures with respect & care. I'd love to bring light & love to your precious pets whether they need some activity, food, or just company! Because I work online in my own business, my hours are flexible. I enjoy taking time away from the screen to go out in nature for walks or give care to pets. I am time-conscious & take each pet's needs & pet owner's preferences seriously. I would be sure to treat each pet as my own, with lots of love & respect.

“Val provided excellent care for my lab 9 month old puppy. He communicated well and kept me updated with pictures. Penny seemed very happy and comfortable with Val. I definitely would recommend Val for your dog boarding needs. He is great!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. My family growing up never had less than 3 pets at a time so I've grown up loving and rescuing animals including taking care of outdoor feral cats,stray dogs, etc. I currently have two cats of my own and hope to have more in the future at the very least by fostering :) Besides when working my 9/5 or rover I spend most of my free time with my cats. I also keep a cat crate and food in my car in case I ever see any stray cats and I have a humane trap at home. I have raised puppies and kittens from 2 months old and have had elderly pets that have lived to be 19 years old so I have experience with lots of pets of different ages, breeds, and personality types. I've taken care of upwards of 7 cats all in the same household so I am also experienced with caring for multiple pets including households with multiple cats and also dogs. I also have experience to varying degrees with deer, rabbits, horses, chickens, quail, and fish. I think pets are family and best friends and I am excited to meet yours and give them lots of love and attention I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick For daycare or boarding for dogs I would prefer they are cat friendly but accommodations can be made for sure! Currrntl due to my job I can’t do morning drop ins or walks during the work week but can on weekends and can still do boardings. There are some afternoons where I occasionally have avilability and my availability is subject to change so please feel free to still message to ask :) I still do have lots of weekend free time too :) I’m happy to watch multi pet house holds and do daycare for multiple dogs if you have more than one! During meet ups I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick In my own household I would provide them with their own toys, food and water bowls, and take them for lots of walks if applicable. My pets and any animals here are allowed to be on the furniture like the couches and bed but I usually put a blanket and a small bed on the ground in case some babies feel more comfy with that. I am more than happy to also crate them!
“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.”
“We love this sitter! Juan and Gabriel have become our go-to sitter! Our dog (who has severe social anxiety) absolutely adores them! I would highly recommend booking with them! They are very accommodating for a last minute night out, being late for drop off, or having special requests! Overall great and compassionate people to be around!”
