We highly recommend Michelle and plan to have her watch our dogs in the future!”

Words to describe Olivia include: loving, thoughtful, intelligent, caring, and dependable. We are definitely returning and highly recommend Olivia to anyone!”


About: We love our dogs! We love to be outside in our fenced in yard, throwing a ball or frisbee. We live in a neighborhood that has sidewalks so we often go for long walks. My partner works from home and is a huge dog lover. I work during the week but am around all weekend. We can accommodate around requests We let our dogs roam around the house and the fenced I. Yard. We can crate if needed but we typically do not. We do not allow dogs in beds. Please note the we have a 6 year old, so any dogs we sit need to be good around children
“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!!”

I really enjoyed reading the Rover card every day, and I’m glad to see that she built such a wonderful friendship with my cat. I also have to emphasize—Mandy is a great photographer! Many of the photos she took are cute enough to be portraits (I secretly saved some of them🤭).”

We needed cat care because we had a family medical emergency that sometimes caused me to be distracted and mess up booking - Jennifer always noticed my errors and helped me fix them.”


“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!”
“Jennifer was such an amazing sitter for my furry babies. She took her time to ask questions and understand well how to care for them. The updates and pictures always were on point and left me feeling that my babies were in very caring and capable hands. Next time I will look for someone to look after my babies I will go for Jennifer.”

“It was a wonderful experience having Laura look after my cat Oliver again. She’s watched him before, so it was really nice knowing he was with someone familiar.

“Julie let me know a new dog would be present at the same time as my dog, and she made sure to attempt to make introduce successful with a 3rd dog. She let me know she was able to keep dogs in separate areas as needed, let dogs have space from each other, and make sure my pup was safe and comfortable.”

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❣️
“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 was very responsive. She answered questions quickly and sent a lot of great pictures. My dog actually had a healthy amount of play and sleep instead of being overstimulated all day like she would at a traditional day care.”

“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.”

“Elena was my first Rover experience—she really exceeded my expectations! She sent status updates and pictures throughout my pup’s visit, and he really enjoyed playtime with the other dogs. I definitely would love to bring my dog back the next time I need someone to watch him. Thanks so much for making it great for us!”

“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❤️”

“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.”

“My dogs really like Joyce and Luca and came home happy and sleepy-they clearly got plenty of exercise. Their place is spacious and clean and Joyce sent several great pictures and videos throughout the day. She is organized, the communication was excellent, and she has a good way with dogs. I will absolutely be bringing my buddies back to Joyce’s 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.”

“Nelly had a great time with Priyanka! Sometimes Nelly is timid in new situations but she seemed comfortable with Pri right away. We appreciated receiving some cute pictures of the fun times she was having, with walks and cuddles and lots of attention. We will definitely rebook with Pri the next time Nelly needs day care or boarding!”


About: I am a previous dog owner and current cat mom. I grew up watching dog and cat training shows on TV and going to in person purebred dog and cat show events. I enjoy spending my time with furry friends. I'm a in-home caregiver to my mom so I have lots of time to take care of your pet. I have weekly events on Sundays and Wednesdays, but can easily work around those times. I have a long line for when your pet is outside and lots of patio seating to supervise and play with your pet the whole time. I also have a crate for indoor use.
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.”

“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.”

“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!”


“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 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!”


“We have worked with Jennifer for a couple months now. She has been on top of the ball for quick responses and short notice weekend availability. Very professional and reliable. Raja, our dog, looks forward to his walks with her as well. Thank you for all of your hard work!”
“Austin is fantastic! I love all of the pictures, updates, flexibility, and care he takes while walking Mazie! She always looks so happy and excited! Will recommend Austin to anyone and everyone!”


“Michelle was absolutely fantastic with Kona. Our pup is nervous around new people and Michelle was amazing on her first visit/walk to meet her in advance of her house/pet sitting. After her walk and getting to know Kona, Michelle did a thorough walk through of our house and asked all the little questions and details that I’d never think to talk about before she comes to sit. I’m so confident that she will be an amazing sitter while we are away!”

“Stefanie was so great with our dog—it was clear during the meet and greet that he felt comfortable with her very quickly. Communication was also great. We are very fortunate to have found her!”

“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!!!”

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!”
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.

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.
“Highly recommend! Jiayi took the time to learn my dog and provide great care for her. My dog was able to relax and unwind with her and I had peace of mind knowing she was being cared for. Jiayi also does a great job with communication.”

About: Hello my name is Stephany Dos Santos and I have both baby sat and walked dogs for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of a wide range of dogs including Yorkshire, Gold Retriever, Mini Australian Shepherd, Poodle, Chihuahua , and etc. What you would love about me is that with my different experiences I could handle any dog because I treat them equally and also as if they were people. I am available any time of any day and to walk or sit your dog! I am a very funny and energetic individual which makes it easier for me to get along with dogs and run around with them. I would really love to be there when you need me most! Thank you for reading my profile and I hope to meet you! I currently work in a lab, and my schedule is pretty flexible than most other individuals. I am typically at work from between 2 to 4 hours a day. I have the flexibility to leave work whenever I need to and then if I needed to come back I could. Therefore if I am staying over And I see myself being at work for more than six hours a day, then I would just split my day and half and go home and walk or feed whichever animal I’m working with, then head back to work. I currently live in an apartment complex. It does allow animals. There is a large park by my complex, which, if there were a dog with me, I would take them there. In my apartment itself I have a lot of toys and it is a safe environment
