“Erika responded very quickly and kindly to messages. She accepted my kind of finicky dog without hesitation. The boarding facility was clean and well kept. My separation anxiety dog seemed to have a wonderful time while there. Highly recommend!”
“Another amazing time with Dallas and Co. I could tell Blue had another great stay with her and was pretty tuckered out when we got home, Blue looks forward to the next stay and can't wait!”
“Bobbi took such good care of our baby while we were on vacation. I never have to worry about him when he is with her and it gives us such peace of mind. She is the best!!!”
“Absolutely fabulous sitter and family! Ginger loved her stays with Anu and her family. Their dog Norah is the sweetest and was a great teacher for my young golden pup. I will definitely be booking in the future. Highly recommended!!??”
“Shanna went above and beyond to make the pups feel at home! They got lots of cuddles and playtime in the fenced-in backyard. I felt very much at ease knowing they were extremely well cared for while I was away.”
“Melissa is amazing and she is very flexible and is very nice and respectful she was willing to watch my dog again after just watching three days after. So is a good one”
“Mary was amazing!! My dog does not normally like new people but he loved Mary and she took great care of him. I even had to book last minute because of a funeral. I was able to be fully present with my family at our time of loss because my dog was so well cared for. Thanks Mary!!”
“Mackenzie was so great caring for our dogs Zoe and Lacy! Was so relaxing on vacation have zero worries about the care our dogs were getting. They had a blast and we loved the pictures and videos we received during their stay. A++++++++++++”
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
“Kristal did an awesome job taking care of our 'baby" and making her feel at home while we were out of state for a wedding. She kept us up on how Shasta was doing & sent pictures each day. It was good to see how she had found her favorite spot in their home & also enjoyed their outside fenced-in yard. Since they no longer have a dog of their own & only take in one boarder at a time, she had more attention than some days at home! We would definitely take her to Kristal again.”
“Heather and her husband Chris were amazing. We got updates all the time without even asking… which honestly meant a lot to us. Our dog looked so happy in every photo and she came home tired which is always a good sign. Heather was super quick to reply to any message and booking with her was way easier than I expected. We were in a bit of a bind since we needed a sitter only 10 days out and she still made the whole thing smooth and even fit in a meet and greet. You can tell right away how much they love dogs so I knew my Finely girl was really in good hands. I would book with them again without even thinking twice!”
About: I've taken care of animals of all different species and sizes throughout my life, I've always found a deeper connection with animals, and the more I care for them, the more I see that. For Dogs, I can get along with most, although I am admittedly spooked by bigger or more aggressive dogs (Cane Corso's for reference). And as for cat's, I'm always willing to take carr of another feline friend, my closest animal companions in life have been cats! I can respect a cats boundaries very well. Notes: For dogs with Clicker training, I do own a clicker. I cannot allow other cats in my home, as one of my cats is not friendly with others. I'm typically up very early to feed my cat and spend whatever free time I have giving him attention and love while I relax. I am currently unemployed, so I can tend to pets around the clock! My yard is not fenced, I can keep a dog close if need be. I am more than willing to take pets on walks to the park, or outdoors in general. I can adapt to most any animals schedule pretty easily. My house is pretty large, so most animals will have plenty of space to roam and get comfy, and I can make accommodations for any special pet gear needed. List of tasks or care instructions would be highly appreciated, and would help me stick to a given schedule.
“We were so happy to find Aryn on Rover to care for our dogs for a weekend away! She was especially patient with one of our dogs that experiences separation anxiety. We really appreciated her communication and care for our dogs!”
“Denise and her family were great with my dog Mason. She kept communication with me the whole stay and sent a lot of pictures of Mason with her kids and their dog. It made my time away much more relaxing knowing Mason was being well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Denise and her family to anyone!”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Teresa has been incredible from helping a fur mom dropping off her baby for the first time to making Riley feel welcomed and loved. I received pictures and updates daily, always keeping me in the loop. She took such great care of Riley, I almost wondered if she would even want to come home.LOL. I will absolutely use Teressa again to watch my baby girl.”
“Sara was awesome! Got pics and updates and so understanding when our plane was delayed! The dogs had a nice fenced in backyard to play abs got lots of love♥️ We absolutely love her and will use her again.”

“Melissa did a great job with watching my cats. She did everything that I asked her to do. She sent photos & messages to let me know how things were going with my cats. I will ask her to cat sit again in the future! Thank you Melissa 😊”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life, so loving your cats will be just as easy as loving mine! I have experience with kittens, adult cats and sick cats, and have experience administering oral medications as well as giving them that extra love they need when they’re not feeling well! I’ve worked with cats of all ages and temperaments, so I’m not scared of a few hisses, although I will respect their boundaries when need be. I’m a natural cat lover, so loving your little furbabies will come easy to me!
“I'm so grateful that I booked with Dallas to check in on our cat! She took care of everything and provided an update that gave me peace of mind while being away. Her communication was excellent and the whole process was smooth. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: Cats have always been my favorite animals, despite working with just about every domestic animal. Grumpy cats (my personal favorite- I love a challenge!), playful kittens, Velcro cats, they’re all so fun to interact with. I’ve grown up taking care of cats, and have an almost annoying amount of knowledge about them. I am experienced in medicating especially difficult cats, and I can trim nails as well!
“Our normally well-behaved dogs decided to ransack their room while we were gone for an afternoon. Upon her arrival at our house, not only did Amanda straighten up their mess but she also fed them, spent plenty of time with them outside, sent me pics of her visit, and even left them treats for Christmas. Would highly recommend Amanda to anyone seeking a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter who goes the extra mile for her clients.”
“We’re so grateful for the great care our cats received! She made sure they always had fresh food and water and kept an eye on everything while we were away. Our cats are pretty shy and tend to hide, but it gave us peace of mind knowing they were being checked on. We really appreciated her help and would happily recommend her!”
“Bethany was great ant accommodating all my needs and requests. My normally shy cat made a great connection and enjoying everytime she came over. Would 100% recommend Bethany to anyone with pet sitting needs.”
“Karlee is a great pet sitter. She provided excellent care for 8 days with 2 visits/day. She always provided a visit write up and lots of photos to keep us informed. The Rover app allowed us to easily communicate to confirm pets behavior or eating tendencies. She also helped us on garbage day and by collecting our mail each day. When we need future pet care, Karlee will be my first option.”
“Anne was wonderful with my cat, Lia. My cat seemed to enjoy the visits and extra attention. Anne was also great with communication and sending photos of what Lia was up to. Will definitely reach out to Anne in the future when needed!”
About: Hi, you can call me Lolo. I am a big lover of dogs and had a small dog growing up. I have been walking dogs since the summer of 2021. I have experience with walking medium sized and smaller dogs, but I am open to any size and type of breeds. I even have experience watching cats and had birds growing up as a child. I am currently a stay at home mom which gives me more flexibility and choosing to do what I love the most, which is spending time with and taking of dogs! I am very responsible, attentive, and outgoing which are all some qualities I think are very important when it comes to taking care of dogs. I am looking forward to meeting you and your sweet dog(s)! I am a stay at home mom and have a lot of downtime to spend some time with your dogs. Pet care is a job for me and my schedule is very flexible! I have crate training experience. My neighborhood is very safe and I live in a house with a lot of trees and woods so the dogs can run around. There are not too many dogs around, so you won’t have to worry about other dogs!
About: I have grown up with several felines and canines my entire life. I have been responsible for their care for several years, including several animals in their older years. I possess a quite relaxed personality, which is beneficially picked up by most animals. I am also capable of providing necessary exercise for animals of an increased energetic disposition. Dog walks can be taken at a leisurely pace, or one more accelerated, depending on dog's needs. I am looking to supplement my current income, as well as enjoy the company of more cats and dogs. My current job offers flexible hours, so I am available most hours during the afternoon to night for necessary care needs (walks, feeding, letting out,vet appointments). I look forward to satisfying your pets needs.

Since I play a role in day to day activities and chores on the weekends dairy, I am able to bring your pup along with me and my other two pups to go about our day on the farm!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been involved in their daily care including feeding, walking, and playtime. As a former college athlete, I’m very active and dependable, and would love to take your dog on walks and runs. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and will take care of your pet like it’s my own. I also have experience with off leash training! I recently graduated college and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize your pet’s needs. As a former college athlete, I’m used to maintaining a consistent routine and being dependable. I’m available throughout the day and can adapt to your pet’s specific schedule.

I have a large backyard and plenty of indoor space for dogs to play and relax. I live in a quiet, residential area that is great for walks, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and your pet’s comfort.
“Kenzie is so great with our pup!! Her entire family treats her as if she was theirs :) She loves to visit and always comes back tired from playing with other dogs and the family. Finding Kenzie has been a blessing because as our pup has aged she just doesn’t do well with kennel boarding anymore. Highly recommend her to anyone that wants their dog to feel loved while you are away!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, and even the more unique critters! I have experience with animals of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. As a proud pet parent to two Great Danes, I understand just how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. My top priorities are making sure your pets feel happy, safe, and comfortable while you're away, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine—I’m a stay-at-home mom, and I work around my kids’ homeschooling schedule. That means I’m home throughout the day and night, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. If your pet is staying with us for boarding, they’ll never be left alone—we’re always home, and your furry friend will be treated like part of the family. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday cuddles, or nighttime check-ins, I have the flexibility to meet your pet’s needs with love and consistency. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure environment where animals can relax and feel at home—whether I’m visiting your house or welcoming your pet into mine. I follow each pet’s unique routine and take time to understand their needs, behaviors, and preferences. I’m experienced with crates, medications, feeding routines, and even a little light training reinforcement if needed. In our home, your pet will be surrounded by love and never left alone—we’re always home, and your pet will get plenty of attention and care. I live with two gentle Great Danes and two calm, pet-friendly cats, all of whom are well-socialized and respectful of new guests. We keep our environment clean, peaceful, and low-stress to make every pet feel safe and welcome. I’m also happy to go the extra mile—whether that means watering your plants, bringing in packages, or keeping you updated with sweet photo messages. I truly care about your pets and your peace of mind.
“Bonnie was amazing with our dog Cinnamon! We were in town for my daughter’s dance competition when a blizzard completely changed our plans. Bonnie was incredibly understanding and accommodating when we unexpectedly had to stay an extra night because travel was so dangerous. She even offered to help with anything Cinnamon might need since we hadn’t planned on being away another day. Cinnamon had a wonderful time playing with Bonnie’s fur babies and came home happy and completely exhausted from all the fun. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pup like their own, Bonnie is fantastic. Highly recommend!”
“Always a joy to have Shanna watch my little Doodle. She takes care of him so well. His little tummy was upset so she made him some chicken amd rice to settle his belly. She asked me first.to see if it was ok. Love having her with my dog”
“Shelby, her family and thier dogs welcomed Nala in on short notice and treated her like one of their own. This was our first experience leaving our puppy with a non-family member and we couldn’t be more happy. Shelby’s home is filled with love and we couldn’t have been more pleased with her care of Nala. We will definitely use Shelby again!”

“Mackenzie was the absolute perfect dog sitter for our sweet Maverick! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. It was clear she loved and cared for him as if he were her own, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away at the Packers game. She kept us updated with pictures and made sure Maverick had everything he needed — including lots of love and snuggles! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and who truly loves animals. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy!”
About: Please read the entire profile. I did grow up with a Dalmatian dog. My dad was a firefighter, and came home with Pepper Christmas morning. My sister had a mini goldendoodle. I would stop daily after work around 3:45pm to play and take walks. I took a separation package from my employer 5/1/25 and now would like to offer walks, daycare, drop in visits and boarding .

Please note if sending a request there may be a delay in responding due to pickleball between 9:30 - 12:30 approximate times. I currently have two dog walking appointments from 11:45am -1:45pm Monday-Thursday. Having retired 5/1/25, I have the time to provide loving care, playtime and walks with your pet. I will provide pictures and updates to you. No fence but can play fetch in the front/backyard or take your dog to dog park if they are ok with it. Please provide details or special needs. I look forward to providing belly rubs, snuggles and loving care.

“I truly appreciate Colleen for taking care of my fur baby all day! She is super nice and took very good care of my fur baby! I definitely recommend her. If and when I am back in Greenbay I will for sure do another booking with her.”
“Isaiah is a very knowledgeable and nurturing dog sitter. He handled my rambunctious pup with expert care, and his dog Finley graciously scaled down his play to match my wee one. Would highly recommend for walking, watching, or boarding.”
“We had a last-minute Rover request, and Bobbi responded quickly and made booking easy. Even though it was a short stay, we could tell our dog had a great time especially with Mercy, their adorable pug! Bobbi shared updates and photos, and Nova seemed to really enjoy their spacious backyard. Bobbi was so kind and welcoming. We’d absolutely recommend her to others!”
About: I have been lucky to have owned pets nearly my entire life. Mostly dogs, but a cat and fish as well. My family fur baby passed in 2022 after nearly 14 years being our companion. I watch friends and family pets, and help them spur of the moment requests to drop in and let pets out. I recently retired, so I can be flexible with your needs for pet sitting. I can do drop in visits, or overnight at your place or mine. There are no other pets or children at my home. I will follow your instructions on feeding and handling your pet. I can give your pet all of my attention.

“Melissa does so well with sunny. She comes in on time, and made it so much easier for us as my wife had surgery and I was working from home. Highly highly recommend. I never worry where sunny is or what hes up to and he loves seeing her.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with unique needs, including reactivity and behavioral challenges. I rescued my Australian Cattle Dog when she was three years old and have spent years training her and learning how to safely and compassionately manage reactivity around other animals and, at times, children. Through this experience, I’ve developed strong skills in reading animal body language, using positive reinforcement, and creating calm, structured environments. I truly love all animals and understand that every pet is different. I've taken care of friends and families pets in the past and I always have the absolute best time! I’m patient, attentive, and committed to providing the best possible care while you’re away, making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I’m currently in my last semester college, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility in my schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my days, and I can give animals the attention they deserve. Spending time with furry friends is honestly the best way to spend time between and after class! I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and respect the rules and preferences set by their owner. I take the time to understand feeding schedules, play habits, and any specific instructions so that everyone feels comfortable and at ease. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for pets.
About: I owned a dog for over a decade, and babysat dogs/ cats many times. I worked with animals at a zoo so I’m good at reading them and respecting their boundaries! I work second shift (3-11pm) M-F so check ins would work best for those days. I can still dog/cat sit during the weekdays if you’re are okay with your pets being alone for a full shift, or being watched by my parents (while pets are boarded at our house). My weekends are completely open! I have a large backyard and tennis court. I also live near a very nice bike trail for long walks. I have no other animals in the house. I have ramps for small/old dogs.
“We are fortunate to have Annie on an on-going basis to visit our dog Molly for potty breaks and walks while we are at work. Annie always responds promptly to any communication, questions or booking inquiries. When she visits Molly she leaves a detailed log about the visit. It's obvious that Annie loves pets and she goes above and beyond to give Molly love, affection, attention, exercise and an outdoor break each visit. When Annie is scheduled to visit, we know Molly will receive great care and a needed break and that gives us tremendous peace of mind. We love Annie!”
About: Several years of experience with out pay. I have been around pups and dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. I am extremely great with animals. I promise to take care of your family member just as I would my own. Mine are most likely better taken care of then most people's children! I am very efficient, caring and wear my heart on my sleeve. I also have fostered animals in need. You will be nothing less than happy with my services. I am used to working with large animals to small animals. I want to be able to make the animals feel like they are at home when they see me walking through the door. I hope this all helps you when considering me.

About: I love taking care of all different kinds of pets, I love working with pets that have unique personalities. There is still so many breeds of both dogs and cats that I would love to be able to take care of. I am currently working part-time at a pet boarding/ daycare facility and still going to school. I still seem to have time that I feel as if I am wasting and need something to fill that void. In my clients home I will try to stick to the instructions that they give me when I am caring for their pet. I will also do anything extra depending on the pet and the different needs that they may have. (Ex. If they are a senior pet or a puppy)
About: I grew up around cats and have been living with dogs since I was 20. My first experience with dogs was my roommates/bestfriends Rottweiler. I knew the dogvtill the day he died. I got my first dog when I was around 30, a Saint Bernard. He pasted away July 2021, he was my best buddy. He suffered from cancer his last months and needed lots of special care. I have no problems caring for senior dogs, big dogs, active dogs, lazy dogs or puppies! I have experience managing multiple large breed dogs at the same time. I currently am unemployed as I just moved to Bremerton(to be with my girlfriend) a few weeks ago. I love dogs, they are my favorite. I treat dogs with respect and kindness. Lots of playtime, petting, and walks. If the dog is looking for attention I will give it to them. I lived with a Saint Bernard, there was no ignoring him!
About: My family and I had a dog of our own for about 13 years during my childhood, allowing me to gain experience in feeding, training, and walking dogs. Now that she has sadly passed away, I would love to give other pets the same love I am no longer able to give to my own pet. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to smother your pets with my love! Late mornings and early afternoons are the times that typically work best for me, but I am flexible and willing to try anything! I will only allow pets that are fine being outside because my house does not allow pets indoors. I have a large yard surrounded by fields in a rural area where pets are free to roam in sight as long as they’re well-trained.
About: Hi, I'm Mel! I grew up surrounded by pets, and that passion grew into a lifelong career in animal care. I bring over a decade of professional facility experience to Rover, including serving as a Pack Leader at Tailwaggers Doggy Daycare and spending seven years as a specialized Caregiver at the world-renowned Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. There, I worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and behavioral needs, including dog-selective and dog-aggressive behaviors. Currently, I keep my skills sharp working part-time as a Kennel Technician at a daycare and boarding facility right here in Green Bay. Because of my professional background, I’m highly experienced with administering medications, recognizing subtle body language, and reinforcing basic training. I know how important routine is, so I am more than happy to strictly follow whatever household rules you have set for your pet. Whether your furbaby is a social butterfly or a quiet soul who needs a patient, gentle approach, I have the intuitive skills to make them feel safe and loved. When I’m not caring for your pets, I’m hanging out with my own senior "puppy," a 9-year-old dog named Alba (pictured with me!), and my 14-year-old "kitten." I love house-sitting, overnight stays, and dog walking, and my ultimate goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're away. I can’t wait to meet your furbabies! My part-time schedule as a local kennel technician makes me incredibly flexible for pet sitting! I work from 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM – 6:30 PM (about 25 hours a week), which leaves my entire midday window from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM wide open for lunchtime walks, playtime, and companionship. I am also available for quick check-ins before my morning shift, and my evenings are completely free after 6:30 PM for late-night cuddles and dedicated overnight stays. Because my daily job already centers around professional feeding, medicating, and cleaning, keeping your pet's routine seamless and sanitary between my shifts is second nature to me! My goal is to keep your pets in their happiest, most comfortable element, which is why I specialize in caring for them right in their own home! With over a decade of professional animal facility experience and a huge heart for all creatures, I pride myself on being the next best thing to you when you’re away. I am fully backed by Rover and prioritize open, consistent communication—sending you regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they are in safe hands. As a major bonus, I am an exceptionally tidy person who genuinely enjoys cleaning. My past clients have always loved coming home to happy, healthy, stress-free pets and a thoroughly clean, respected house! 🧽🐾

About: Hello. My name is Kirsten. Thank you for considering me to take care of your fur baby(ies). I have been pet sitting for three or more years. In 2014, I had fought my phobia. I had a fear of dogs which I continued to fight. After two years, I started to volunteer bringing therapy dogs to nursing homes and I even started pet sitting an english Mastiff, Golden retriever and three cats. I have found my love for dogs and cats and continue to petsit. I also go on fun walks with dogs. I also have taken care of rabbits as well. There is no other way to have the best day ever but to have the best day ever with your fur babies. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet(s). I am currently babysitting from 7:30am to 1pm on weekdays and I work 5a to 5p on Saturdays. I have open availability besides those times. I don’t provide boarding in my own home but when I am caring for pets in your home, I ask that you please provide to me in writing what medications, feed times, veterinarian numbers, your number, and all other information.
“Allison is amazing! We have a very shy, very large, very old dog - we had a couple meet and greets with Allison to introduce the shy pup, and she really took the time to get to know both us and the pup. Long story short, she’s all around awesome and we’re looking forward to having her help in the future ?”

“Erika responded very quickly and kindly to messages. She accepted my kind of finicky dog without hesitation. The boarding facility was clean and well kept. My separation anxiety dog seemed to have a wonderful time while there. Highly recommend!”
“Another amazing time with Dallas and Co. I could tell Blue had another great stay with her and was pretty tuckered out when we got home, Blue looks forward to the next stay and can't wait!”
“Bobbi took such good care of our baby while we were on vacation. I never have to worry about him when he is with her and it gives us such peace of mind. She is the best!!!”
“Absolutely fabulous sitter and family! Ginger loved her stays with Anu and her family. Their dog Norah is the sweetest and was a great teacher for my young golden pup. I will definitely be booking in the future. Highly recommended!!??”
“Shanna went above and beyond to make the pups feel at home! They got lots of cuddles and playtime in the fenced-in backyard. I felt very much at ease knowing they were extremely well cared for while I was away.”
“Melissa is amazing and she is very flexible and is very nice and respectful she was willing to watch my dog again after just watching three days after. So is a good one”
“Mackenzie was so great caring for our dogs Zoe and Lacy! Was so relaxing on vacation have zero worries about the care our dogs were getting. They had a blast and we loved the pictures and videos we received during their stay. A++++++++++++”
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
“Heather and her husband Chris were amazing. We got updates all the time without even asking… which honestly meant a lot to us. Our dog looked so happy in every photo and she came home tired which is always a good sign. Heather was super quick to reply to any message and booking with her was way easier than I expected. We were in a bit of a bind since we needed a sitter only 10 days out and she still made the whole thing smooth and even fit in a meet and greet. You can tell right away how much they love dogs so I knew my Finely girl was really in good hands. I would book with them again without even thinking twice!”
About: I've taken care of animals of all different species and sizes throughout my life, I've always found a deeper connection with animals, and the more I care for them, the more I see that. For Dogs, I can get along with most, although I am admittedly spooked by bigger or more aggressive dogs (Cane Corso's for reference). And as for cat's, I'm always willing to take carr of another feline friend, my closest animal companions in life have been cats! I can respect a cats boundaries very well. Notes: For dogs with Clicker training, I do own a clicker. I cannot allow other cats in my home, as one of my cats is not friendly with others. I'm typically up very early to feed my cat and spend whatever free time I have giving him attention and love while I relax. I am currently unemployed, so I can tend to pets around the clock! My yard is not fenced, I can keep a dog close if need be. I am more than willing to take pets on walks to the park, or outdoors in general. I can adapt to most any animals schedule pretty easily. My house is pretty large, so most animals will have plenty of space to roam and get comfy, and I can make accommodations for any special pet gear needed. List of tasks or care instructions would be highly appreciated, and would help me stick to a given schedule.
“We were so happy to find Aryn on Rover to care for our dogs for a weekend away! She was especially patient with one of our dogs that experiences separation anxiety. We really appreciated her communication and care for our dogs!”
“Denise and her family were great with my dog Mason. She kept communication with me the whole stay and sent a lot of pictures of Mason with her kids and their dog. It made my time away much more relaxing knowing Mason was being well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Denise and her family to anyone!”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Teresa has been incredible from helping a fur mom dropping off her baby for the first time to making Riley feel welcomed and loved. I received pictures and updates daily, always keeping me in the loop. She took such great care of Riley, I almost wondered if she would even want to come home.LOL. I will absolutely use Teressa again to watch my baby girl.”
“Sara was awesome! Got pics and updates and so understanding when our plane was delayed! The dogs had a nice fenced in backyard to play abs got lots of love♥️ We absolutely love her and will use her again.”
“We loved working with Kimberly. She watched our dog for the first time and suggested a meet and greet to make sure she was a good fit with her own dog. We loved that and it made us trust her from the start. When we met her, Kimberly asked us many questions about our dog that made us feel like she would take very good care of her. Also, Kimberly’s home is quite literally the perfect set up for dogs. We know that our dog loved staying there and we enjoyed the updates Kimberly sent us throughout her stay. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Shelby was AMAZING! We left the country for a week and a half and were so nervous about leaving our dog with someone new, but Shelby made us so comfortable by letting us come and meet her first and then sending lots of cute pictures and messages throughout our pup's stay. Shelby and her family gave our pup so much love and attention, and he had a great stay. He had so much fun he didn't want to leave when we finally came home! We'd recommend her to anyone and will definitely be back!”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
