“Kristin and Bruce (and their kids) took amazing care of my dog for the week he was with them! They took him on walks and to school pickup, sent the sweetest photos and helpful updates, and were just incredibly pleasant and helpful throughout. My dog came home happy, tired, and well loved and I am so appreciative for all the effort they put in to make that happen!”
“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 did a fantastic job watching our doggy James! Super friendly and very easy to work with and flexible around our schedule. Her and her family were a pleasure to meet and made the entire experience easy. We are very happy and will absolutely book with her again!”
“Ryan and Martha took wonderful care of my dog. They treated her as a member of their family. They took her for walks and sent daily pictures. I will certainly ask them to care for Ella again when needed.”
“Robert was great with our puppy and provided regular updates. Very flexible with working with us on a pick up time when circumstances caused some big delays on our end.”
“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.”
“Excellent! I really appreciated all the updates and photos from Stefanie. Great communication and flexible with drop off and pick up times. Will definitely use again in future.”
“Neko came home exhausted so he must have had a wonderful time! Judd and Becky were so kind and worked well with us on a last minute request and we will absolutely use them again!”
“Our three dogs had a great night with Allison! She was easy to work with and laid back. Dogs got to chill on the couch, luxury access to special beds and blankets. Thanks for a great stay!”
“Taylor is a fantastic sitter!! Super friendly, she sent daily pictures and updates of our sweet Maggie. It was truly a home away from home from her. Next time we're out of town, Taylor will be the first to come to mind!”
“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.”
“My pup, Toby, had an awesome time staying with Sarah and her pup!!! She took him out for walks multiple times a day, plus a quick run, which is perfect for my high energy puppy. She kept me updated through out the weekend with texts and pictures. Sarah, you were amazing! Thank you again for taking care of the Tobe-master!”
“Edith is a fantastic! My dog Maxx absolutely loves spending time with her. She keeps me well informed with regular updates and photos, so I never worry when I’m away. Edith is also very flexible with my schedule and has been very accommodating. I feel completely comfortable leaving Maxx in her care. Being new to Madison, we were lucky to have found her.”
“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!”
“Very friendly and dependable. Timely communication, and great pictures and updates during the stay. Confident that Louie got lots of attention, exercise, doggy socialization, and love.”
“Our dog loved spending time with Cleda! There were a few other dogs that were her size that she loved to play with. We loved getting nightly updates from Cleda about how our dog was doing (with pictures) and appreciated that she was very responsive. This was our dog's first week away from home, and I think she would be happy to go back to Cleda's house.”
“Grace took great care of our golden retriever. She stayed in touch and sent little updates with photos about the days events. I would be happy to work with Grace again anytime.”

“Natalie was a fantastic pet sitter. I felt that she cared for my cats as if they were her own and she sent photos every day. I trust her and will hire her again.”
“Tucker was amazing — he took great care of my fur baby and provided pics regularly AND he was gracious and unflappable in the face of some unforeseen challenges. Flexible, great communicator, and left the house cleaner than he found it. Great with following directions and proactively taking care of all the things — he even noticed the light on the automatic feeder and refilled it before I even messaged him about the notification I’d received. Perhaps best of all, he saw AJ for the loving, playful kitty that he is—so I knew AJ was feeling comfortable and that he was in good, kind hands. Would definitely recommend to others and would be glad to have his help again!”
“Jennifer took great care of my cat Strudel. I was on my first vacation away from my cat and Jennifer’s consistent updates and photos helped reassure me she was in good care. Despite being a very shy and cautious cat, Strudel actually warmed up to Jennifer fairly quickly, which was very nice to see too! Overall, I’m very happy with the care Jennifer provided for my cat!”
“Annalise did a great job taking care of my cat Gus! She was consistent in the time she came to feed him and even added an extra visit when our travel plans changed!”
“Bro is very dedicated, transparent, and really cares about my pets. It has been a very long 2 months of scheduled weekly visits and I am happy to come back to my pets all well-taken care of. I definitely recommend Steve to anyone looking for responsible pet sitters.”
“Emily was fantastic with our kitty - she was also extremely responsive and easy to coordinate with even though our booking request was pretty last minute. Would absolutely book again!”
“We loved Lauren! She was great caring for our kitten with several drop in visits while we were out of town. The pictures she sent were great and our kids loved being able to see their beloved kitten while always from home.”
“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!”
“I was so happy that Whitney was available for a return engagement with 'my girls.' I left with absolute confidence that my cats and my home would be lovingly cared for and I wasn't disappointed. I can't recommend Whitney highly enough. She's kind, considerate, dependable and thorough. I hope that our schedules will always be in sync so that I can leave my girls and home in her capable hands when I need to be away. Thank you, Whitney!”
“Taylor did great checking on our cats for a few days. Super fast to respond to messages and very kind, we really appreciated knowing our cats were in good hands.”
“Return customer here!! Jess was so great with my cat. My cat isn’t a fan of new people (she still hides from people she’s known for months) YET Jess was able to get her to warm up enough for some pets. I really appreciated her pictures and descriptions for each visit. My cat was well taken care of and I plan to use Jess as my petsitter the next time I’m away.”
“Courtney was a fantastic cat sitter for our 3 boys. Being out of the country is difficult with pets and Courtney provided us with daily updates and photos. Our cats can be shy and she made them comfortable in her care and they enjoyed her visits as well. I am definitely going to hire Courtney again. Thank you!”
“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! :)”

“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!”
“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❤️”
“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 :)”
“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.”

“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.”
About: I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had experience with animals of all kinds and learned early on that every animal has their own personality, needs, and quirks! Whether your dog needs a long walk, some extra playtime, medication reminders, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I’m also comfortable with puppies, energetic dogs, and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated while you’re away. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Also at my fiance’s flower shop pets are welcome, so I’m often around animals even when I’m not at home. This makes it easy for me to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I work from home, so they’ll have plenty of company throughout the day, along with walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I grew up on a farm around all kinds of animals, and I really enjoy having pets around. I’m happy to let them settle into their own routine, whether that means playing fetch all afternoon, curling up on the couch, or taking a nice long nap. I’ll follow any instructions you leave and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with us.
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Christine was awesome. She took a late booking and looked after Ollie for the day. She sent updates, photos and made sure she was a good fit before her stay. Will book again”
“Grace was a wonderful host for our Golden retriever puppy. She took excellent care of Scout and was very communicative. She even took the time to brush out some of the tangles behind Scouts ears!”
“Eddie’s daycare stay at Cami & Christopher’s was great! Eddie was very comfortable in their home and enjoyed playing with their pup Brutus. Cami & Christopher provided regular updates and pics and took Eddie on multiple walks. Eddie and Brutus did not want to leave each other when it was time to go home! Thanks Cami & Christopher, Eddie looks forward to the next daycare visit at your place!”
“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.”

“Hannah has been amazing with my dog. He’s a bit anxious and she has been incredibly patient with him and is building a strong bond with him. Hannah has been super communicative and has been great to work with all around!!”
“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 a lifelong animal lover, experienced pet owner, and former veterinary assistant who cares for both dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and patient with your pets. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, cleanup, and providing lots of love and attention while you’re away! 🐾 I work full-time during weekdays, so my availability is mainly evenings and weekends. I’m fully available on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and extended care, and I’m happy to help provide reliable, loving care around my work schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a former veterinary clinic assistant and experienced pet owner, I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any special care instructions to help your pets feel safe and stress-free. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to providing a calm, loving environment.
About: I'm an animal lover who has years of experience with dogs, cats, and rabbits! I educate myself on animal behavior and find that it really helps me be able to meet their needs. Not afraid to administer medication or go the extra mile for whatever a loved pet needs. I'm available every single day of the week - morning, midday, and evenings. I sometimes take an hour or so of classes in the evening which are extremely easy to work around, I'm very flexible and typically don't travel for holidays. I'm completely ready to adhere to any standards that clients have in their home. I am very communicative and will reach out if instructions need clarification.
“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.”
“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!”
About: I’ve worked/volunteered at the Humane Society for two years. I’ve watched friends dogs since I was 12 years old. Love to take dogs on walks, to the dog parks and just spend time with them. I have 2 dogs already at home so I can only watch your pets at your house. I currently work full time so pretty much work around my full time job. I’m more available in the afternoons, there are some days that i can do mornings. I treat them like my own with all the tender love and care they need. I have a fenced in backyard that the dogs love to play in.
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.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog lover who treats every pup like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddle time, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind! I'm a part-time student who takes morning classes Monday-Thursday. I am typically at home the majority of the day, but if I am ever away I will return home for about an hour to take any guests out during lunch (12-1PM). Weekends, I am mostly free. Drop-off/pick-up can be anytime! My schedule is pretty flexible during weekends so if you need a specific time, I can make it work. I'm very accommodating. Just let me know in advance when you are thinking about booking and I can check my schedule for that day. If you have a busy schedule, I can also pick-up and drop-off for free! Let me know what your fur-baby's routine is like (sleep, eat, play schedule). I hope to make your fur-baby comfortable while you are away. For DROP-INS: I have experience with drop-ins for dogs, cats, and fish! If you would like me to do a short walk during the 30 minute drop-in for your pup, let me know! I typically like to refresh their water, give a treat (if you allow it), and make sure they go potty! For cats, I will make sure their water & food is replenished and will clear out litter boxes! I will also water your plants, bring in your mail/newspapers (if requested). Thanks for considering me! Let’s set up a Meet & Greet! **Holiday Rates will also be applied for Easter, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day weeks/weekends** I’m currently working part time with plenty of time for fuzzy friends! I haven’t found my perfect pet just yet, so I have lots of love to give! I have loads of experience training young and old pups, no matter the service your looking for I would love to incorporate good habits for your pet!
About: I am 37 and have worked professionally with dogs for 10 years during my 20s. I began working in a boarding and daycare facility when I was 18. Since that time I have worked for other kennels as I have moved. I received my training certification in 2010 from Animal Behavior College and volunteered extensively at a shelter in Kansas City. I have volunteered with numerous rescue groups providing training and foster homes along with many boarding facilities. I love pet sitting and getting the opportunity to make a animals happy while their parents are away- all the rewards of being the fun aunt :) Experience with pets who have medications/diabetes/special needs. HOUSE SITTING: I work from home, with appointments throughout the day so your pets won't be left alone for long. I am flexible fitting into your pets routines, watering plants, and any other up-keeps that need done while you are away. A majority of the time I work from home while having occasional appointments out of the home. This gives me plenty of flexibility to ensure that your pet gets 1:1 time and gets outside when needed. I like to follow my clients routines so their pet can predict as much as possible. My experience has given me a little bit of the super power to predict the future, which leads to me to taking extra safety steps “just in case”
About: We are a family of four that wants to get a dog some day when our children are a bit older. We have two daughters aged 9 and 5. We love to do dog sitting so we can still enjoy a dog in our home. I am a high school teacher and my wife stays home 3 out of 5 days/week with our two young daughters. My wife grew up with Labradors and I grew up with Maltese and Terriers. We cannot wait to have our own dog again. Will your dog be the one to convince us of what type of dog we want for our family? We look forward to meeting you and treating your dog like they are part of our family! Because we do not currently have a dog and only take one dog at a time, your dog will be very well cared for and receive tons of attention and affection! **once in awhile, we may have two bookings that overlap slightly depending on pick-up/drop-off times, but if that happens we will communicate that with you! My wife is home Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays with our daughters. On Mondays and Tuesdays, we are gone from 8:30-4:00. If that is too long of a period for your dog to go without a potty break please let us know! I am a teacher at Memorial highschool (just 5 mins from our home) and can easily come home during my lunch break for a quick dog walk! We have a fenced in yard for your dog to explore. Otherwise, we will let your dog roam anywhere in the house! If needed, we have baby gates and are able to section off parts of our home.

About: I have had a dog growing up and enjoy taking care of them. I have dog sit and cat sit for the past 3 years in my hometown. I love taking dogs and walks or giving cat cuddles while also taking care of your pets needs. I’m currently between jobs and can plan to be home or available for drop in visits with enough heads up. I’m pretty flexible on times and days but just need to plan ahead. I am very curious and cautious while taking care of not only your pet but your home. I will clean up after your pet and respect your space.

“Maria Belen is better than we ever hoped for!! She took care of our puppy who requires a lot of work with love, patience and dedication. She was willing to take her even though she is still working on potty and crate training. She sent us tons of great updates, pictures and videos and took lots of time asking questions and getting to know our puppy’s routines and what would be best for her. Maria and her husband both cared for our 4 month old puppy like she was their own! They even gave us the sweetest present of a paw print picture! We would recommend them to everyone and pick them every time!”
“Da Yeon provdes a safe and comfortable home away from home for our older dog. He is a nervous guy, but he feels comfortable during his stays with her. Highly recommend Da Yeon!”
“My boy stayed with Duane and Lauren and had a great time. They are so kind and communicative with pupdates throughout their stay. I have already recommended them to friends and will definitely use them again!”
