“Lindsey was great with my dog! She made sure to update us with photos and activities throughout the days. Thank you Lindsey for showering my fur baby with love and lots of walks!💕”
“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.”
“Kristin and Bruce did a great job with my older dog, Madigan. She is sometimes anere xious to be away from home, but she was at ease from the minute we walked in the door. This is the first time in the last six years we did not have someone come in to the home. The pictures showed a relaxed, happy dog and her tail and ears were high when I arrived to pick her up. Dogs know people and she is loyal to "her pack", but our dog loved being a part of Kristin and Bruce's pack. I highly recommend Kristin and Bruce. You will not be disappointed!”
“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!”
“Ryan and Martha and their family have been a saving grace for me! Willow loves going over there, and clearly feels right at home. They send photos throughout her stay, and are so gracious with their time and thoughtfulness.”
“Stephanie was an amazing sitter. She messaged me daily with pictures too. Walks, playtime and belly rubs were a daily occurrence with Mack. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come back home. 😊”
“Olivia was great with our senior dog. She was very responsive throughout the process, sending daily updates, which we loved receiving. I highly recommend her and will be reaching out again when I'm in need.”
“I am so glad we chose Cleda to watch our sweet girl Coda during our week-long trip. I was so nervous to leave her, as she is a shy, anxious pup and this was her first time away from us since we adopted her. But from Cleda's first picture update less than an hour after we dropped her off, I could tell Coda was in the best hands and already comfortable with Cleda. We so appreciated Cleda's daily updates and we felt like we could really tell Coda was enjoying her stay and what she was up to. We definitely plan to return to Cleda for all future dog-sitting needs, and we know our pup will be so happy about that! Thanks Cleda & Roxie!”
“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 did an excellent job hosting our dog for a week at his house. We received regular updates with photos and he was incredibly responsive, always replying in a timely fashion. When we first met, he struck me as a true "dog person" which is what we wanted! I would recommend Robert to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“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.”
“Becky and Judd have treated Neko so well and if he was there own! They have worked with us on short notice stays, and always keep me updated on how well he’s doing! Neko loves going over there to be watched by their family!”
“Helen & Min are absolutely wonderful sitters they welcome our little girl Moxie into there home as if she is a member of her family. Your pets will first class treatment when staying with Helen and Min.”
“Our little pup Rena absolutely enjoyed her stay with Tessa! We were given the best pup-dates throughout the day and enjoyed seeing pictures of our pup having the best vacation with Tessa and Tennessee. Thank you for your care, attention, and love to Rena! Tessa was also super flexible with drop off after we had to deal with a medical emergency and I am so grateful for that!”
“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!!”

“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.”
“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!!”
“Jennifer is great with my old man kitty that needs a daily pill and has a sensitive tummy. I love the daily pics and not having to worry about him while I’m gone.”
“Such a well dog sitter! Came to meet my dog and asked a lot of good questions on how to provide and care for my dog! She came did her thing just like how I told her and she went beyond! Gave me a lot of photos during the care and a lot of note taking on how my dog was! Definitely will book again and recommend her!”

“Allegra was absolutely wonderful with our two senior dogs! She gave them the extra care and attention they needed, and her beautifully written, detailed report cards gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after — we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”

“We are looking to find someone to board Ollie with for weekends. To start him out slow (he has separation anxiety), we had a Meet and Greet, a short (3hr) stay and later, a full day stay. Julie was clear that her dog Zilla's comfort with Ollie was a priority, which I fully support. I won't want to trust my dog to someone who isn't looking out for ALL the dogs involved. Julie was very responsive with messages, showed us around her home and yard and was generally very calm and patient. While the dogs didn't end up getting along well enough for this to work out long term, Ollie warmed up to Julie and was definitely as calm as I've seen him after being left.”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“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: 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.”
“Our dog Halla is a rescue dog and he is very scared and nervous around new people. Robert has watched him few times and I am grateful that he understands that Halla needs time and space to get to know him. I am sure Halla will be in good hands when our family goes on a vacation this summer.”
“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.”
“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.”

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.
“I’m so thankful to have Allegra as a dog walker- she is a rock star! I feel so safe with her care with the dogs, and she always has great feedback after every walk.”
“Jennifer was fantastic! Both dogs loved having her walk them. Can’t thank Jennifer enough for giving the dogs the attention they needed while we were away from home for the day.”
“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!”
“Nate just started walking my dogs for me while at work. My dogs like him and seem very happy from the pictures. He is very flexible for last minute walks. I really appreciate him taking good care of my girls while I’m away.”
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!
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!
“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!”
“Austin does a great job of meeting the high energy needs of my pup, including taking him on a good distance walk and even upping the pace to a jog at times. It gives me great peace of mind to know he’s tuned in to the needs of my dog.”
“Stephanie is great, and I'm going to have to come up with reasons to book her again, because my pups are going to miss her. Punctual, good communication, and comfortable with ACDs, which is not always easy. Highly recommend.”
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 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
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since high school and have over 10 years of experience with pets of all kinds. I also started training service dogs in middle school, so I’m comfortable working with different temperaments and routines. I love making pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away! I’m currently a pharmacy student, so my schedule during the school year is structured and reliable. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting around classes and study time, and I enjoy having pets as company during quieter parts of the day. During the summer, I work but still maintain availability for pet care, especially evenings, weekends, and longer stays. I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable and able to stick to their normal routine. I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and well cared for by following feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any house rules closely.
“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 have been dog, baby, and house sitting since I was 10 (~13 years). I have personally had a cat and 4 dogs throughout growing up and have taken diligent and loving care of them from walks/runs, veterinary care, to lots and lots of snuggles. I'm currently a student doing predominantly online classes, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to fit pet care into the routine. I also lead a very active lifestyle taking multiple walks/jogs throughout the day that would only be enhanced with a furry companion. I live in an apartment with no other pets and I have a very clean and safe indoor living area as well and could always crate him/her if needed.
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.

We highly recommend Sophia. We hope to book with her again!”
