“Our dog Dexter had the best weekend with Rhonda! He met new friends, had many walks, and was a happy boy when we picked him up! Thank you Rhonda for taking such good care of Dexter for us! We will definitely book Rhonda again! ❤️”
“Gabriel was great, my poppy had a great time with him and his puppy Mel. Lots of playing and wrestling, and Gabriel was great about sending pictures/updates all weekend. 5 Stars!”
“Jessica took such great care of Herman! He had so much fun playing with new friends and visiting the dog park- he had just as good of a vacation as we did!”
“Working with Julia and Colin was our first Rover experience and we could not be happier with how it went! Julia is extremely communicative and made the process easy. Our dog took to them very quickly and we could tell she was made comfortable in their home. We look forward to booking with them again!”
“Kim did such a wonderful job caring for my pup, even when he was a bit hard to handle right away. She was communicative and transparent and worked hard to make sure that he was active, comfortable, and well-loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.”
“Yolanda took very good care of both of our babies. As we were dropping them off one of our dogs was bleeding from biting their lip and Yolanda quickly took care of it and healed the injury. We received photos of our babies and we also had a very detailed conversation about how our babies were while in their care which made us feel more comfortable as we do have pit bulls and they have a bad stigma on them but the understanding that Yolanda and her husband have with this breed was very important and reassuring to know that we are able to trust them with our dogs.”
“Ashlee did wonderful taking care of my 11yo Shih tzu and 2yo Goldendoodle. She took them on walks, and sent me updates while I was on my trip!! She was flexible with the time changes in my travel and made it easy for me to pick them up!! I know my pups were in great care with Ashlee!! Thanks again ☺️”
“Elizabeth provided 4 days of boarding for our dog. We were able to book her with short notice. Although my dog was nervous around children, she was able to help my dog get used to them. She is responsive and very accommodating. Our return flight was late and she was able to adjust our pickup time without any issues. Would highly recommend for boarding your dog.”
“Willow had a great time! Laura took great care of her and sent a photo every day. She got along well with Diesel, and she ate all her food, which means she was very comfortable at Laura’s house. Knowing she was doing well allowed us to enjoy our vacation more. We will definitely book Laura again!”
“Lisa was great with my dog and made it a smooth pick-up and drop-off process. I could tell my dog was comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely recommend booking with her!”
“MJ and his wife were so caring towards Stevie while we were away! They cared for him like he was their own, and sent so many thoughtful updates. Stevie was sad to leave at the end of his stay with them. Thank you!!”
“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”
“Andrew and his family treated my Oscar as part of their family. He was in constant communication with me while I was away in Italy for almost 3 weeks. Andrew is very kind and very easy/flexible. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a trustworthy person to watch their furbabies! Thank you Andrew!”
“Stacy did a great job with Bear. He seem very comfortable lying on the couch when I came to pick him up. She sent pictures every day or so showing me how Bear was doing. Thanks Stacy. I will be booking Bear another time with in the future. Two thumbs up.”
“Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾”
“We couldn't be happier with Sarah! Her and her family were incredibly reliable, warm & welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure Moose was comfortable and well-cared for. When our flight was changed last minute, Sarah was understanding and flexible. We appreciated the daily updates and so many amazing photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy Moose was during his stay. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! We will absolutely be rebooking for our next vacation.”
“We were able to book with Rebecca pretty last minute when our sitter had to cancel! We were able to quickly set up a meet and greet at her house the next day! They sent pictures and videos and kept us updated with how our dog was while we were away!”
“This is a repeat of a fantastic experience, my pup loves coming over! Always great videos and pictures, and this time a splash pad experience which was amazing and hilarious. Thank you so much!!”
“Ashley and her family did an excellent job watching my two pups. Both seemed to be enjoying themselves while I was away. I got updates and pictures periodically so I was always in the know of what they were up to. Ashley was accommodating with time drop off and pick up. I appreciate the time and love you spent with my babies.”

“Ilene was fantastic and went above and beyond my expectations which is so greatly appreciated! Ilene’s communication and timeliness is perfect and even provided me with adorable pics & videos of playtime with Rozz which warmed my heart while I was away. Ilene’s love and care for animals is exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend Ilene for any of your pet care needs!”

Very grateful for a phenomenal sitter like Hope. 😇”

“This was a great first experience with Rover. Travis took the time to learn how to give my cat insulin and did great! We appreciated the daily check-in card, and I really appreciated Travis bringing in a few packages that were delivered which we totally forgot about. Love knowing that we have someone we trust to watch our floof. Much thanks!”

About: I'm currently going into animal behavior and care, I have taken care of senior cats with health issues and taken care of young cats since I was 12. I specialize in making sure your pets have the best care, I follow your instructions to a tee.
About: I have 2 Maine Coon cats at home- and I dearly love them (more than most people) so much. I have always had a pet cat growing up and they hold a special place in my heart. One of my Maine Coons actually had FIP and was on a long journey of healing- and it now been cured for 2 years. I have experience with administering medications, and obviously am a professional litter box cleaner. ❤️🐱
About: Growing up on a farm, there was hardly ever a time when a cat wasn't around. I've been privileged to love and care for indoor cats since 2018, including my own, roomates', and several cat sitting jobs while I was in school. My experience ranges from kittens to seniors and I have experience administering medications both orally and topically. Above all, my approach to cat care is guided by respect. If your cat wants to play, I am happy to play but I also understand if they are more comfortable hiding until I earn their trust. In cat sitting jobs past, I have played endlessly with string toys for high energy young male cats and read aloud for the sweetest of little old ladies. Whatever the approach, I let your cat decide.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Borchert Field
About: Hi there! We are lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience and two sweet pit bulls of my own. Our home is shared with my playful and loving 3-year-old boy and my silly, affectionate 1-year-old girl, who both love making new friends. We've spent many years in responsible dog breeding, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, socialization, and individual needs. Whether your pup is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, We are confident and comfortable caring for all personalities, ages, and breeds. With me, your pets will be treated like part of the family — plenty of love, attention, structure, and fun. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive environment where every dog feels at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! --- If you want, I can also tailor it to a specific service (boarding, drop-ins, walks, etc.) or adjust the tone to be more professional, playful, or concise. I offer flexible scheduling for pet boarding thanks to my role with a property management company, which allows me to be home often and adjust my availability as needed. This flexibility helps me give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout their stay. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we kindly require all pets to have their own crate during their stay. Crates provide a secure, familiar space for your dog to rest and relax, especially during downtime or when we briefly step out. Their safety and well-being are always our top priority. Also provide your pet with their favorite food/treats for their stay. We are also able to provide that for an additional fee.
“Kim is amazing! We always have her watch our dachshund Wendi whenever we go out of town or have an event to go to. She is so responsive and such a kind person! When she’s watching our dog, we know our dog is in great hands.Our dog always comes home happy and sleepy after hanging out with Kim and her dog! Thank you!!”
About: Hi, my name is Andrew and I love dogs! I raised my dog Mushu from a puppy (now passed) and am an active dog uncle to Luella. My goal is to provide you with the peace of mind that your dog is getting the love, care, and attention they need. I am currently available to book most days of the week as dog care is my passion. Please feel free to reach out to set up a meet and greet. I am currently available to take care of pets in client’s home. I am flexible with needs, dates, and times. Let me know how I can help 🙂
“I could not recommend Mike and his wife Heather more! My dog has been consistently going going there for a year and as a young doctor working up to 28 hours in a row, I would not be able to have managed without them! They are very flexible and truly do love working with dogs. Recently, my dog got very mambas colitis and needed to go to the vet twice. Initially I wasn’t able to take too much time off but thankfully Mike was there. He offered to even cook Whiskey boiled chicken and rice and even offered to come to the vet with us the second time because he was genuinely concerned as well. I have a very anxious dog, but have been able to leave him while on vacation and not worry because I was getting constant updates- both good and bad about how he was doing, how much he was barking, how he was pooping, etc. it helped me enjoy my vacation more. I would highly recommend them for anyone who has a dog that is anxious and needs more one on one attention or with a chaotic schedule like myself.”
“Mickey loved his afternoon with Jessica! She took him for walks and made him feel at home. He was relaxed and happy when I picked him up. Jessica is such a kind soul, we feel extemely fortunate to have found her!”
About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for my large family & friends for years and just decided to see if anyone else would need the service. I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. I like hanging out with the pets like little buddies, getting some days of cuddles and then sending them home 😅. It’s the perfect way to get some fur baby time until I’m ready for my next dog or cat in the future. This is not a business for me, it’s something I have enjoyed doing for my family and friends, and if you want your beloved pet to be in a calm but fun, comfortable environment while you’re away, I can extend my service to you. I recently started doing home stays/drop ins for the pet sitting too and enjoyed it. I currently have a really flexible schedule with a lot of availability. I live with my dad that occasionally says hi if the dog or cat is friendly but mostly the house is big enough that they never cross paths. I have a fenced in yard and a big house with a lot of space that I can also section off by closing doors. I typically take the animals out several times a day, feed them, and let them roam around the house or snuggle with me. I like when pet owners bring a bed for their pets so I can make them their own space but they’re welcome to chill with me in whatever I’m doing. I’m youthful, active, and responsible. I have a naturally friendly, calm demeanor that animals and people respond well to. I have no pets right now but used to have a pit/black lab mix that I loved dearly so I love pits and other breeds with historically bad reputations. I frequently sit my aunt’s beagle mix who’s just a little old pup that sparked my interest for pet sitting cuz it was so fun to have visits from him. He and my old dog are in a bunch of my pics. With all animals I just try to make them comfortable and let them feel at home.
“My dog Nala loves going to daycare with Dane. He is very flexible and does a great job taking care of Nala. She also really enjoys hanging out with his dogs and having a yard to hang out in for the day. Would recommend Dane 10/10.”
About: I’m a true animal lover. If it has paws, scales, fins, or whiskers, I’m already invested. I’ve cared for and fostered all kinds of pets over the years—dogs, cats, aquatic babies, reptiles, and the tiniest furry friends like bunnies and hamsters—so I’m comfortable across the board. To me, pets aren’t “just pets”…they’re family. My approach is calm, patient, and gentle. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and respect their boundaries so they always feel safe, understood, and comfortable. At home, I’ve got my own little zoo—2 sweet cats, a bearded dragon, 2 geckos, 4 snakes, and an adorable mouse—so trust me, I’m no stranger to unique personalities and specialized care. I would love to care for your pet when you need a break, go on vacation or when you make other plans. You can be assured that your pet is in good hands. To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. 📍 Located in Milwaukee – Capitol Heights area 🌻 I work from home so I’ll always have time to play, feed and love on your pet babies. I’m always flexible with their needs (bathroom breaks, medication, shyness) to make sure they are always comfortable. If my schedule or availability changes, I always send out updates to my calendar right away. ❤️ To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space for pets to roam, play and toilet if needed. Pets are always welcome to bring their own items. My 2 lovely cats are usually shy and more of the watching type, so they won’t bother your pets but will surely admire them from their cat trees. All activities and toileting are supervised. There is no smoking of any kind in my home or pet areas. There are some pictures of our living space in the photo collection on my Rover profile.

I just love spending time with my dog, taking him on walks, cuddling with him, and playing fetch with him!

About: Hi! My name is Sam, and I have a huge love for animals — especially dogs. I live on the first floor of a duplex in Riverwest and work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and lots of time to give pets the attention they deserve. I have two cats and a dog of my own, so I’m very used to different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I’m currently available for dog walking, dog day care, and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Pets in my care get plenty of cuddles, playtime, exercise, love, and attention. I treat every animal like they’re one of my own. To make sure every pet gets calm, focused care, I take a limited number of bookings each day. I typically take up to two walks or drop-in visits per day, depending on timing and location. If I’m providing dog day care in my home, I usually don’t schedule additional walks or drop-ins that day so everyone gets the attention they deserve. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I work from home full time during the week. My schedule is overall very flexible and I provide frequent outdoor time and exercise. My yard is fenced in and secure. Pets I watch are treated like royalty and get lots of attention, exercise, and loving! I allow dogs on my furniture and provide a lot of positive reinforcement.
About: I’m a kind and goofy gal that loves dogs with my whole being. I own a beagle named Luna that I love spending time with. Her mom needs to hustle to get more funds for our journeys and all the Trader Joe’s treats. I am constantly the friend that takes care of my friend’s dog and enjoy every moment. I hope you give me the opportunity to spend time with your pet! I’d be happy to expand on my experience and passion. My entire schedule revolves around my dog. I’m thinking about how to move things around for her and always checking if I can bring her with. I enjoy our three walks a day on our remote work from home days. I’m open to taking care of pets at my home or their own as long as you’re okay with mine being with us. I’d be happy to introduce them beforehand. I’m a horrible liar and believe in karma, so I treat everyone and their homes like I would want others to treat mine. Hopefully this isn’t too cheesy lol
“If we could give her 10 stars we would! She made our visit to Milwaukee so much easier. We were nervous leaving Otis while we enjoyed our day out. Michelle assured us he would be fine playing with the other dogs and she was right! She sent pictures of Otis playing and you could tell he was happy and having fun. He also slept very well that night! We appreciate her watching Otis. We couldn’t be more happier of how his care was!”
About: 20+ years experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and breeds! Professional, punctual, caring, and fun! My services are especially catered to meet your pets needs. Experienced with administering medications and older aged animals as well. Daily pics and report will be provided to owners each day you are away! Enrichment, toys, and treats are supplied. I look forward to working with your furbabies! I'm currently doing this full-time time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm also available weekends and holidays. 🐶❤️ I have no kids or pets. Your pet will be pampered and treated as one of my very own! As well as receiving 1:1 attention and lots of TLC. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed. Snuggles are welcome.
“Monica was a lifesaver! She was able to watch my little pupperoni (Ciri) last minute. Monica sent me photos of Ciri throughout the day so that I knew how she was doing. It was quite adorable to see how attached Ciri was to Capone. Monica truly set my fears at ease with leaving Ciri for the first time. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I grew up with 6 other siblings and we always had animals around. I lost our beloved family dog about two years ago and I do not want to commit to raising another one since I like to travel. But on my down time, I am willing to walk your dog, spend time with them, and love them up as much as possible. I just recently got an apartment in Milwaukee to be closer to my family so I am looking for something to do and to help out an owner who may need it. I recently retired so I have a lot of flexibility, and a lot more time to spend at home and to care for your dog. It’s just me and my wife that live in the home and she would be available to help if needed. We live in the country on a one acre lot so your dog would have a big area to roam! I can have a pet stay at my house during the day but unfortunately it’s not allowed in my apartment for overnights. If it’s easier to come to your home, I am willing to do that!
About: What sets me apart is both my personal and professional experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently work at Dogtopia, where I care for and supervise dogs daily. This has helped me become patient, attentive, and comfortable working with different temperaments and energy levels. I also have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. My senior dog, Otis, had arthritis, so I learned how important patience, comfort, and attentive care are for older pets. I also helped raise and train our pug puppy with basic training, routines, and socialization. Because of these experiences, I understand that every pet has different needs depending on their age and personality, and I always try to make pets feel safe, active, and cared for like they’re my own.⭐️😊 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work at Dogtopia, where I help maintain a safe, clean, and fun environment for dogs of all sizes and personalities. 🐾 My job has taught me the importance of paying close attention to dogs’ behavior, safety, and overall well-being throughout the day. When I’m home, I also spend a lot of time caring for my own dog. I enjoy taking him on long walks by the lake, staying active with him through runs and playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care every day.🦮🏃♀️❤️ When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I make sure the environment is clean and secure by checking doors, gates, food, and anything that could be unsafe or easily gotten into by curious pets.🤗 I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and individual needs to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while their owner is away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I always try to make pets feel safe, cared for, and at home.

I am comfortable and confident with walking, feeding, bathing, etc. I am a full-time grad student, and I also work a part-time job. My schedule is a little different each weekday, sometimes with breaks in the middle of the day. I am available all day, every other weekend. I do not currently care for any pets in my home. I am not currently accepting jobs that require a pet to stay in my home.

About: As someone who grew up on a small farm, I have been around a variety of animals since birth. I have experience caring for a variety of species and am comfortable handling any animal. I have volunteered with local animal shelters for over a decade, so I also have extensive experience caring for pets with behavioral issues and medical needs. I am a part-time sitter who is providing pet care services in addition to my full-time work. However, as a professor at a local university, I have a very flexible daily schedule and can easily provide pet care during typical business hours. Additionally, I do not work in the summer, which increases my availability from mid-May to September. I am very intentional about the number of clients I take at a time to ensure that I can provide comprehensive care to booked clients. I believe open communication is most important to be able to provide safe and reliable care for your pets. During our meet and greet, I will ask many questions to ensure that I have a full picture of what caring for your pet requires and how to meet your expectations. As someone who uses a Rover sitter to care for my pets when I am away, I personally understand the trust that is needed to leave your pets in someone else's care. I strive to build trust with clients by showing up when I say I do and following all instructions provided to me. And, it is not just about building trust with you but also your pet! If your pet has any behavioral issues or quirks, it's important for me to know this so that I can ensure safety for your pet and myself. This will help me adjust my interactions with them so I can build trust with your pet and respect their boundaries. The more information I have, the better!
“Jackie was extremely attentive and great with our Daisy! Our dog warmed up to Jackie right away, and thoroughly enjoyed the walk with her. We are looking forward to many more!”
About: I recently moved here for school and miss having pets around after growing up around pets my whole life. Caring for animals is something that comes natural to me and I enjoy spending time with them. I try to be reliable, patient, and attentive as I understand pets are family. I currently only work part time and have an open schedule both weekdays and weekends. Once I start school in August my schedule will likely be available in afternoons and weekends exclusively. I care for pets in the home by keeping their routine consistent, giving them attention, exercise, and affection. All while making sure they are comfortable, safe, and stress free while you are away.
“Jake has been fabulous with my dog— he clearly has a great energy with animals and his dog Atlas has been a major bonus as Hanu loves playing chase with him. Additionally, he’s prompt and professional with his replies and shares some adorable photos. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a walker!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and more. I currently work as an enrichment specialist/dog handler at a dog daycare, where I supervise and care for dogs of all sizes with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. Before working professionally with dogs, I also spent years walking and caring for pets for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m comfortable with shy dogs, high-energy dogs, puppies, and senior pets, and I always focus on making animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m very attentive to behavior, routines, and body language, and I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals instead of just rushing through visits or walks. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my priority. I’m currently working part-time so I have lots of free time and space for your pup(s)! I am free every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with all day availability and flexibility! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I have professional dog handling experience, pay close attention to behavior and routines, and have a fenced yard for safe playtime. Something I’d also prioritize are play breaks! Play breaks/rest for dogs are just as important as exercise, which is something most people miss!
“Aubrey did a great job communicating when she had issues getting into our apartment. She was able to get in and let Sunny out to go potty which is exactly what we needed!”
About: Hi my name is Nora! I'm 21 years old and recent grad from University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. I have lots of pet sitting experience. I have house-sat while taking care of more than three pets, including cats and dogs. I have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medicine and pills. At my own home I have 2 rescue dogs. In addition, I'm very comfortable taking care of puppies I have potty trained and crate trained dogs in the past. I am comfortable with both cats and dogs. I LOVE animals, they are so nurturing and smart and it is so fulfilling caring for animals. I currently work part-time so my schedule is very flexible and I am very adaptable. I am communicative and can always find the best solution. I currently work only about 20 hrs a week allowing for lots of time to walk and care for pets! I am a very gentle and caring pet sitter I strictly follow the client's instructions and ask questions when needed. I like to ensure that the pets I sit for are very comfortable with me.
About: Hi, my name is Andrew and I love dogs! I raised my dog Mushu from a puppy (now passed) and am an active dog uncle to Luella. My goal is to provide you with the peace of mind that your dog is getting the love, care, and attention they need. I am currently available to book most days of the week as dog care is my passion. Please feel free to reach out to set up a meet and greet. I am currently available to take care of pets in client’s home. I am flexible with needs, dates, and times. Let me know how I can help 🙂

“Kim did such a wonderful job caring for my pup, even when he was a bit hard to handle right away. She was communicative and transparent and worked hard to make sure that he was active, comfortable, and well-loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.”
“Yolanda took very good care of both of our babies. As we were dropping them off one of our dogs was bleeding from biting their lip and Yolanda quickly took care of it and healed the injury. We received photos of our babies and we also had a very detailed conversation about how our babies were while in their care which made us feel more comfortable as we do have pit bulls and they have a bad stigma on them but the understanding that Yolanda and her husband have with this breed was very important and reassuring to know that we are able to trust them with our dogs.”
“Ashlee did wonderful taking care of my 11yo Shih tzu and 2yo Goldendoodle. She took them on walks, and sent me updates while I was on my trip!! She was flexible with the time changes in my travel and made it easy for me to pick them up!! I know my pups were in great care with Ashlee!! Thanks again ☺️”
“Elizabeth provided 4 days of boarding for our dog. We were able to book her with short notice. Although my dog was nervous around children, she was able to help my dog get used to them. She is responsive and very accommodating. Our return flight was late and she was able to adjust our pickup time without any issues. Would highly recommend for boarding your dog.”
“Willow had a great time! Laura took great care of her and sent a photo every day. She got along well with Diesel, and she ate all her food, which means she was very comfortable at Laura’s house. Knowing she was doing well allowed us to enjoy our vacation more. We will definitely book Laura again!”
“Lisa was great with my dog and made it a smooth pick-up and drop-off process. I could tell my dog was comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely recommend booking with her!”
“MJ and his wife were so caring towards Stevie while we were away! They cared for him like he was their own, and sent so many thoughtful updates. Stevie was sad to leave at the end of his stay with them. Thank you!!”
“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”
“Andrew and his family treated my Oscar as part of their family. He was in constant communication with me while I was away in Italy for almost 3 weeks. Andrew is very kind and very easy/flexible. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a trustworthy person to watch their furbabies! Thank you Andrew!”
“We couldn't be happier with Sarah! Her and her family were incredibly reliable, warm & welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure Moose was comfortable and well-cared for. When our flight was changed last minute, Sarah was understanding and flexible. We appreciated the daily updates and so many amazing photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy Moose was during his stay. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! We will absolutely be rebooking for our next vacation.”
“We were able to book with Rebecca pretty last minute when our sitter had to cancel! We were able to quickly set up a meet and greet at her house the next day! They sent pictures and videos and kept us updated with how our dog was while we were away!”
“Wonderful sitters! They took amazing care of Milo, very kind people. It was clear from the start how much they genuinely love animals. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter! Milo says thank you!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We had last minute work done in our house where the cats had to be gone. Aidan and Dani were amazingly patient with our four cats who have quite unique personalities.”
“Ester did such a good job with our Golden Retriever! We reached out last minute and she was so accommodating. Quick response time, and Tucker had a blast. 🐾💗”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier with Dawn and her husband! They were so welcoming at our Meet and Greet and made us feel very comfortable leaving Zeke overnight. She sent us updates and pictures of him having a blast in their back yard, so I could tell Zeke was having a great time. I highly recommend Dawn and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Auria did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Pippin, and was so flexible when we needed to adjust the length of our trip due to unforeseen travel complications. We so appreciate Auria and feel at ease when we drop our fur baby off. Highly recommend Auria, as always.”
“Cindy was very welcoming to both me and Pepper. She kept me updated with pictures and my little guy had a good time with her and her furbabies. Looking forward to the next overnight visit.”
“Tracy is the best dog sitter! My dog was given the attention she likes. There were other dogs that my pet met at Tracy’s that she made friends with. She got to play outside and go for walks. It was her dream come true!”
