“Yolanda is our family’s go-to sitter and we wouldn’t want it any other way. We get plenty of pictures and updates, while also given our space to enjoy a trip away and know our pup is happy and safe.”
“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!”
“Marilynn took care of our two sassy lil pups for an entire week. The sassy part is that they don't typically play nice with other dogs - unless they are at Marilynn's! She has worked her dog-whispering magic on them and they have become more sociable. They love Marilynn and we do too:)”
“Really enjoyed working with MJ. He's flexible, accommodating and responds promptly via Rover. My dog has had limited exposure to cats, so really appreciated the time MJ took to introduce Brooklyn to his cats and ensure they were ok. Brooklyn came back tired (tired = lots of fun = happy) and seemed to have had an awesome time.”
“Kim and Tom are THE best . We’ve had many stays and all have been great . Processional/ Reliable and Safe . Poppy and Dudley the Pugs LOVE coming for visits and can’t wait for the next one .”
“Had a great experience! She was very attentive and caring with Waker, and we felt comfortable the whole time knowing he was in good hands. He got along great with her dog Luna, which was a huge plus. Would definitely book again”
“Clark had so much fun staying with Andrew and his family! They have a big fenced in backyard and I got plenty of pictures of Clark playing :) definitely would book again!”
“Julia and Colin were great! They communicated well and even met Toast before boarding! We received a lot of pictures where our dog was smiling and having a good time with them. We will definitely book again!”
“Ashley was an amazing dog sitter for our pup! She communicated throughout the stay, sent pictures, and made him feel at home! I highly recommend! Thank you for the experience!”
“Ashlee was great with my dog, Sariah! She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend, which was much appreciated. We will definitely book her again when we need a sitter.”
“Mitch was very accommodating with my last minute booking request. After a quick meet and greet, I left my 4 year old pup in good hands for an overnight stay. Mitch has a nice big fenced in yard for the dogs to play, he was very responsive with his communication and provided photo updates. Would definitely recommend.”
“Linda was amazing! She was able to accommodate my dog very last minute, which I truly appreciated. She was very kind and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout her stay. She took her on multiple walks each day and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, and Linda made the experience so much easier than I expected. I could tell that she genuinely cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I’m very grateful for the care she provided and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their dog!”
“Andrew and Taylor were amazing with Ella! They gave us thorough updates, asked great questions, and gave Ella lots of love! We felt confident and at ease knowing Ella was in great hands. We would definitely re-book again!”
“Daniel and his wife are such nice people! You can really tell they are such dog-people who will really love and spoil your dog while you’re gone. They had our dog Griffey for 5 days and he came back a very happy and tired (from all the play time) pup! We will be using Daniel again in the future and look forward to them being a part of Griffey’s life :)”
“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!”
“Alisha was great with my two pugs last weekend. She was very understanding of my quirky older dog's needs. Her boxer is so friendly and a wonderful playmate or pillow for doggy guests!”
“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!”
“Scott was a wonderful sitter to our dog, Phoebe. Excellent communication, professional, and friendly. He sent us a few pics while we were away to let us know how she was doing, which I especially appreciated. Definitely recommend Scott, and his cute dog Lucy, to anyone looking for a sitter and a playmate.”

“We had a great experience with Leandrea. She really helped to put my worries at ease while I was away and took such great care of our 3 cats. I could tell that all three of them were completely stress-free when we returned home which is something I worry about. We will definitely be working with Leandrea again when going out of town in the future!”

“Travis was fantastic!! He helped me out with a few drop in visits with my cat over the weekend and had such a calming presence where my cat instantly felt comfortable with him.

Would highly recommend Travis to anyone who needs a cat sitter - you will not be disappointed!”

“Carrianne was a great pet sitter for my two kitties! She took time in the first visit to let the kitties warm up to her befor diving into care tasks and I'm sure they greatly appreciated that! She was very punctual which really helped keep me at ease when I was away and provided thorough updates at the end of the drop-in visit.”
“We are so glad Kristine was available on Christmas Day to check on our cat. She came a few days prior on late notice for a meet and greet and provided a nice update!”
“Ilene stepped in on short notice to take care of our 4 cats, did a great job once again. Very responsive and caring, even dealing with a barf situation. Great communication, love the pics! Highly recommended!”
“I’m so grateful to Cathy for taking such wonderful care of my cats while I was away for two days! She went above and beyond, even successfully giving medication to one of my cats—something she had never done before. Knowing they were in such good hands gave me real peace of mind. I look forward to working with Cathy again and highly recommend her to other pet owners looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive sitter.”
About: I have grown up with cats and owned cats consistently since I was 16 years old. I have cat sat before moving here from Michigan. I also volunteered at a cat shelter where cleanliness was their top priority to avoid spreading diseases. I understand cats and am proficient at calmly making friends with them. Please let me know if you need someone to go check on them, feed them, clean their litter box and spend some time with them. I can also drive them to vet appointments depending on our agreement. As the title says, I will play with your cats and pet them after patiently introducing myself to them.
“Jasmine did an amazing job watching my cats for 6 days while I was gone. She was super kind and thorough, provided lots of updates and super cute pictures! I felt a lot better about leaving my cats knowing that Jasmine would be watching them.”
“Jessica was able to come on short notice and even cleaned up my puppies potty accidents on the carpet while helping to potty train. Thanks for watching my still in training puppy and also for taking the time to correct him and clean up after him. I will defiantly be hiring again!”
About: Hi! I would be an amazing pet sitter because I love animals. Ever since I was little I have had pets whether dogs, cats, ducks or turtles. I am currently in college and away from my dog Nalla so taking care of your pet would honestly be special for me too. One of the main reasons I am on rover is because I love to walk and hike and figured why not add a companion. Hi! I am currently on break from work and school so I can make anything work! I am available everyday of the week at any hours necessary! I sadly cannot have any pets in my home because I live in an apartment but I can take that out for walks in areas near me! I also am used to taking care of a dog when I am home so can do whatever the owner needs!
About: I’ve been caring for my own Newfoundland dogs for the past 10 years, as well as have extensive pet-sitting experience with a variety of breeds, from German Shepherds to Dachshunds. I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine! I work remotely, which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and daytime care. I’m also available for overnight stays on weekends and can provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship for your pets. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any other care needs, while giving them plenty of attention. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own and keep you updated with photos and messages along the way.
About: I'm a fur-baby "empty nester" who isn't quite ready to bring another cat into our home, but I still have plenty of love to give. Our sweet Oliver passed away in March 2026 at the age of 19. He was the last of our four beloved cats, all of whom lived long, happy lives into their senior years. Between my partner and me, we've loved and cared for four cats from kittenhood through their senior years. I personally adopted two of my cats as kittens from the Wisconsin Humane Society, and together we cared for all four through every stage of life. That experience taught me not only how to care for playful, energetic kittens, but also how to patiently support senior cats who may need a little extra time, gentleness, or help with their daily routines. I believe every cat benefits from mental stimulation and play. Whether it's hide-and-seek, chasing a laser pointer, pouncing on toy mice, or simply spending quiet time together, I'm happy to tailor my visits to your cat's unique personality and needs. I know how much our pets mean to us because mine were truly family. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away.

“Thank you so much to Kim! Kim was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog Mushi today. She's very friendly and made us feel very comfortable about leaving our lab mix rescue with her while we enjoyed the Milwaukee Zoo. She walked Mushi and also gave us updates as well as pictures. I highly recommend her to watch your dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life and finally got my own pup in 2023. I love all breeds, sizes and ages and cater my care specific to every dog’s needs. I am very patient and keep up with guidelines and research to ensure I’m doing my best as a dog mom and carer of animals in a daily basis. I’m currently between jobs and home all day, meaning I have flexibility every day. I love getting my steps in, so I am more than happy to take your pup on long walks and will happily provide drop in visits! While boarding or daycare with me, your dog will join me and Killian on our walks, get treats, lick mats, and I can take them to the dog park if you’d like and feel safe enough to. I am a trustworthy person who treats every being and environment like her own. I understand animal’s body language and barks/growls and will ensure their safety and comfort. I love dogs and cats of all sizes and am able to handle big dogs on walks as my boy is 80lbs. I prioritize their safety, comfort and enrichment. I live near Roverwest, so just lmk if you’re comfortable with me taking your dog over!

I am working towards certification in dog training too! While watching or walking your pup I will be sure to watch for opportunities to learn! When it comes to your pets care you deserve someone who knows all about them! I will take the time to learn about your pet and your routines to keep your pet comfortable and happy in your absence! I am currently working part time! I have plenty of time throughout the day most days to do check ins and walks for your pets!

“Emily was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated throughout the day with lots of pictures and messages, which made me feel so comfortable knowing my puppy was in such great hands. It was clear she genuinely cared for him and treated him like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I can’t wait for our next visit. Emily is truly amazing, and I highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! My name is Nikki! I am a yoga, travel, and pet lover! I have years of experience fostering dogs and cats in the past. I have fostered special needs cats and dogs and do have experience in that area. My last experience was fostering a beautiful one eyed special needs pup who got adopted within weeks! I can't wait to start meeting new furry friends! I have a very flexible schedule! I am home all day as I work remote in Human Resources.

I’m also available for day care with my wonderful cockapoo - Johnny, who loves all animals. Open to bed cuddles if needed!
About: We love animals but aren’t in a place in our lives to have our own. We’d love to be able to get some pet love while still being able to keep our flexible lifestyle. We thought pet sitting would be the best way to do so! We genuinely love pet sitting/housesitting since we just love doing new things together. We are very responsible and are almost always reachable by text. We have a car and are willing to travel to you. We are excited to hear from you soon :) I only work in office Tuesday through Thursday from 9-5, other than that I am usually home. On those days I can feed them before and after work. Ethan (my boyfriend) also works fully remote so he’ll be around to take care of the pets on the days I’m in office. A midday walk is a great way to get him out of the house We have the top level of a duplex. It’s a pretty open space. We love to go on walks and spend time with furry friends. We’re really good about sending photo updates and checking in with the owners throughout the day.
“monica was so nice and professional. pinot was so happy and tired from all the walks when he came back home. monica sent me 3 pictures throughout the day when my dog was at her doggy day care.”
About: I had a 12 year old puggle who was my best friend! He was walked every day of his life. Now that he has passed, I am looking to spend time with other furry companions! I am recently retired, so I have lots of time and a very flexible schedule! I love all dogs and am very gentle with all pets. I love downtown and know all kinds of routes for your pets. I am an active person so long or short walks are easy for me to do!
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
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.
“My very anxious mini bernadoodle immediately bonded with Ray! She had a great time and came home with exhausted! Ray is conscientious and loving, my dog loves her! We will definitely call her the next time we need someone to watch Georgie!”

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.

About: I have experience working with a wide range of different breed and sizes of dogs. I worked at a doggie daycare and it was an absolute joy. I have taken care of dogs since I was young. Been surrounded by pets my whole life! From dogs, cats, snakes, fish, hamsters, rabbits ect. People trusted me from a young age with their pets because they naturally floated towards me. From small dogs to big ones. I have taken care of family dogs and friends of family pets. I always volunteered to do anything that involved animals. Not only do I currently handle dogs as my job but I also do baths! I took care of horses and other farm animals down in SC when I would visit family. My family are know to have ranches so animals have been a keen part of my life I'm taking a break from my part-time at a doggy daycare so I got plenty of hours for you dogs needs! I'm available all week for majority of day. I'm able to follow regular routines if informed by my clients in order to minimize confusion and be more comforting for the pets. When it comes to my client's medications for their dogs, I am punctual with how it's administered to their dog. If given permission, I'd bring treats and have them do fun little tricks to build trust between the pets so I'm not just a stranger
About: My name is Karina and I've owned and cared for cats my entire life. While I've always wanted to add a dog into my family, my father is allergic. However, I never resist mingling with dogs whenever I can! I'm very experienced with caring for cats, including feeding, cleaning the litter box, etc. I am so open to home visits to check in on dogs as well as walk them. Outside of animals, I'm a pharmacist! Additionally, I love to travel, go to new restaurants, and cozy up with a good book. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have! I do work full time (~ 11 hour shifts) so an animal who would need 24/7 care may not be the most ideal for my schedule, however I do have consecutive days off pretty frequently. I will listen to you and your wants/needs and how you care for your animals. Overall, I want to keep your animals as comfortable as possible whether that means sticking to a routine or something else!
“Riley was wonderful with Rocky! It was great to receive pictures from their walks each day. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable walker :)”
“Jessica is amazing! Our dog Gabby stayed with her during the day and they got to enjoy nice walks, go to the park and get lots of play time. Jessica kept us updated during the day and sent us lots of cute pictures. Gabby is excited to see her again!”
“My puppy girl is always so excited to see Kayla for her walks! Kayla is great! She is an excellent communicator and has been reliable. I can tell she is good with my puppy based on how long they are able to walk for and the sweet pictures Kayla sends of her. Seriously the best dog photographer out there which is an added perk ;)”

“Needed someone to look after my dog while I was working during the holidays and Gabi did a great job at looking after him and sending updates. Would absolutely recommend and book again!”
About: I don't actually call myself that, that's what my friends say I am. I've literally never met a dog I didn't get on famously with. I respect the fact that they are individuals with their own needs. I don't mean to sound too self assured with the title, but I earned it from friends. Whether it's running on the Lake Michigan shore or just finding a nice sunny spot to sit for a while, your pup is going to have a fulfilling day. I have huge flexibility so no worries! A last minute trip or planned weeks in advance, we can work something out. I'm here for you! Even same day! I strive for communication as much as possible between animal and human. If they're not feeling like socializing, I don't force anything. Everyone has different needs. My experience in a dog daycare really helped me read and understand dog body language to head off any issues that may arise when you're watching 12 dogs.

“Yolanda is our family’s go-to sitter and we wouldn’t want it any other way. We get plenty of pictures and updates, while also given our space to enjoy a trip away and know our pup is happy and safe.”
“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!”
“Marilynn took care of our two sassy lil pups for an entire week. The sassy part is that they don't typically play nice with other dogs - unless they are at Marilynn's! She has worked her dog-whispering magic on them and they have become more sociable. They love Marilynn and we do too:)”
“Really enjoyed working with MJ. He's flexible, accommodating and responds promptly via Rover. My dog has had limited exposure to cats, so really appreciated the time MJ took to introduce Brooklyn to his cats and ensure they were ok. Brooklyn came back tired (tired = lots of fun = happy) and seemed to have had an awesome time.”
“Kim and Tom are THE best . We’ve had many stays and all have been great . Processional/ Reliable and Safe . Poppy and Dudley the Pugs LOVE coming for visits and can’t wait for the next one .”
“Had a great experience! She was very attentive and caring with Waker, and we felt comfortable the whole time knowing he was in good hands. He got along great with her dog Luna, which was a huge plus. Would definitely book again”
“Sarah and her family took great care of Goose while we were gone for a quick overnight! Goose got lots of walks around the neighborhood and played well with their kids, both in the yard and outside. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future!”
“Mary was so nice and caring with my pup who was a bit anxious to go somewhere new. She was communicative and gave lots of updates during my dogs stay. Would definitely book again ☺️”
“Clark had so much fun staying with Andrew and his family! They have a big fenced in backyard and I got plenty of pictures of Clark playing :) definitely would book again!”
“Ashlee was great with my dog, Sariah! She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend, which was much appreciated. We will definitely book her again when we need a sitter.”
“Mitch was very accommodating with my last minute booking request. After a quick meet and greet, I left my 4 year old pup in good hands for an overnight stay. Mitch has a nice big fenced in yard for the dogs to play, he was very responsive with his communication and provided photo updates. Would definitely recommend.”
“Linda was amazing! She was able to accommodate my dog very last minute, which I truly appreciated. She was very kind and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout her stay. She took her on multiple walks each day and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, and Linda made the experience so much easier than I expected. I could tell that she genuinely cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I’m very grateful for the care she provided and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their dog!”
“Andrew and Taylor were amazing with Ella! They gave us thorough updates, asked great questions, and gave Ella lots of love! We felt confident and at ease knowing Ella was in great hands. We would definitely re-book again!”
“Daniel and his wife are such nice people! You can really tell they are such dog-people who will really love and spoil your dog while you’re gone. They had our dog Griffey for 5 days and he came back a very happy and tired (from all the play time) pup! We will be using Daniel again in the future and look forward to them being a part of Griffey’s life :)”
“Rebecca was wonderful with my dog Aspen. She was responsive and easy to communicate with, sent updates and photos, and took great care of my dog during her overnight stay. Thank you, Rebecca!”
“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!”
“Alisha was great with my two pugs last weekend. She was very understanding of my quirky older dog's needs. Her boxer is so friendly and a wonderful playmate or pillow for doggy guests!”
“Scott was a wonderful sitter to our dog, Phoebe. Excellent communication, professional, and friendly. He sent us a few pics while we were away to let us know how she was doing, which I especially appreciated. Definitely recommend Scott, and his cute dog Lucy, to anyone looking for a sitter and a playmate.”
