“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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:)”
“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!”
“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!”

“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!”
“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!”
“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!”

We will be using Daniel again in the future and look forward to them being a part of Griffey’s life :)”
“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 .”

“Kelli was amazing with my dog Dusty!! She sent frequent updates throughout my time away and made me feel very comfortable through the whole process. My dog definitely loved spending time with her. Would highly recommend Kelli and will definitely be using her services again!”
About: My dog Fletcher and I would love company while I work from home. I love dogs and have the flexibility to go on walks and play outside during the day!

“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!”
“Chelsea was a wonderful sitter to work with! She gave us plenty of updates and did not have any issues with our cat's care routine. We would defiantly hire her again to cat sit :)”
About: I’m a regular dog foster and walker at MADACC, so I’m comfortable catering to all different pup personalities and needs! I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was young, from puppies to senior with medical needs. I work remote 3 days a week and have no pets of my own, so I have lots of availability to give your dog the attention and care they need! Whether you’re looking for a walker or somewhere to take your pup for a long weekend, I can make most things work. I have a spacious apartment in a dog-friendly building where your dog will have plenty of space to lounge around! I live close to the Summerfest grounds so I have plenty of access to green space for long walks, or just a quick jaunt around the block depending on their preferences. I treat every dog I care for like my own, so you can rest assured your pup will be well cared for with me!
“Avery was so kind and accommodating with our two senior cats. She did a wonderful job of keeping us up to date with photos and details of her visits. Thank you so much for taking great care of our girls!”
“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!”
“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.”
“I am so happy to have found Laurie when I needed someone to take care of my cat Harley while I was gone on an extended vacation. First she explained how Rover works as I was new to the app and helped me fix up a couple things. While away she spent time with Harley as agreed. She worked with him wonderfully where he was snuggling with her by the end. I got pictures every day of their different interactions. Upon return, Harley was in good spirits. He missed me but having someone spend the time she did was perfect for him. The house was in excellent order also. I highly recommend Laurie if you need a pet sitter.”
“Berenice was consistent and kept my cats from guessing at what time they will eat and get some cuddles. I appreciate this because they do not like change. She communicated via Rover only which was a bit hard because of where we were so next time I will insist on getting texts instead if possible. She was also very responsive when I asked her to do something.”
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.
“I cannot say enough about Heather and Alex. This was the first time I had to leave my cat, Pinky, for two weeks and I was nervous. Most other 'in-home' boarders that take cats, have cats of their own, which presented a problem for me as Pink doesn't really get along with other cats. She's been declawed and I was worried that in a house with a bunch of other cats, she'd be bullied:( But Heather and Alex only commit to one Rover boarder at a time. They work from home and so one or the other of them is almost always there. Their home is spacious, clean and has a lovely large screened in area, which my girl loved. They sent plenty of updates with pictures and videos. In fact Pink looked so comfortable, I was actually getting jealous. I'm so relieved to have someone reliable and would use them again in a heartbeat. Thanks so much guys!”
“Megan was so wonderful!! Our sassy cat loved her and we could tell he felt comfortable with her and was calm when we got home after a week away. We are so thankful to have found her and are way more confident with leaving in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats my entire life and currently have two of my own, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of personalities! From shy hiders to confident attention seekers, volunteering at the Austin Animal Center for the past year and half has given me hands on experience with cats of all temperaments and needs. I understand that every cat has their own routine, quirks, and comfort level, and I always aim to keep things as stress-free and familiar as possible while you’re away. As a certified crazy cat lady, I can promise your fur babies are in good hands with me 💓
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.
“We’ve never used rover or left our Rottweiler alone, so we were very nervous at first, but Allison could not have been any better! She updated us every day and took amazing care of Bowser. We highly recommend her and will be rebooking her in the future :)”
About: Growing up with 4 dogs (3 at one time), I’ve experienced every stage of a pet’s life, from playful puppy years to senior care.

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 am available all day and have a very flexible schedule for last minute needs. I know that things come up with busy schedules and I am very accommodating for those last minute emergencies. I am home all day working and am available for frequent potty breaks or walks. I am very active as well and don’t mind longer walks with active dogs. I am available for walks or visits in a home. I’m also available for day care with my wonderful cockapoo - Johnny, who loves all animals. Open to bed cuddles if needed!
“Kristine was GREAT! She was very flexible since our schedule was very fluid. She accommodated us and Quincy loved being there. THANK YOU Kristine!! When we are in the area, we will use Kristine again. Rover always provides great doggie day care”
“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!”
“Friendly, flexible, and most importantly my little dog seems super happy and worn out after spending the day playing with theirs! Seems like a safe and fun fit for my fur child and will continue to rebook!”
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!
“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!”
“Gabriel took Lucy to the lake, introduced her to other dogs, and she didn't want to leave when I picked her up. He accommodated my short notice request and I'm so grateful that Lucy had somewhere safe to go while I headed to work.”
About: I have worked fully remote for 10 years now which has given me the opportunity to devote lots of time to my own dog as well as friends and family! Experience in senior care and medications including oral and injection. Being home every day gives me lots of time for potty breaks, walks and treats. I have a dog of my own, Fern, who is a sweet and mellow 12 yo Bichon Frise. I also live blocks from the lakefront in a very dog friendly part of Bay View! I have staked leashes in both the front and back yard and am always closely supervising potty breaks and time outside. I also have a pet camera so I’m able to monitor when I’m not home for a couple hours.
About: All my life animals have been a part of my life! I have always had a dog or cat in the home growing up. I just love spending time with my dog, taking him on walks, cuddling with him, and playing fetch with him! Same with my kitten she can be the biggest cuddle bug, or Ms. Independent (I love her either way)! I am currently exploring pet care as a full time job!

We take walks daily, and visit a local dog park 2 to 3 times a week.
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.
“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 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!
“Dan and Holly watched our puppy, Roxy, for 4-5 days when we went on a trip to AZ a few weeks ago. My husband, two boys, and I knew that Roxy would be taken care of and be well loved! Of course we missed her while we were gone, but Dan and Holly are great communicators and sent pictures and messages to assure us that Roxy was doing well! Roxy LOVES spending time with Dan, Holly, and the dogs!”

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.
“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.”

“Berenice was great with our pup! She quickly gained her trust with treats and wiped her paws off after walking in the snow. She was on time and respectful of our home. Will definitely use Berenice again!”
“Jessica went above and beyond all expectations! She was great with Sullivan and even brought in a package off of our porch when she dropped sully off. Amazing walker and will definitely book again! ☺️”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and this is something I enjoy to do on the side, to take care of your pups! I’m working full time during the week, but usually off by 12:00, making me available between 1:00-6:00 to come care for your pet for walking/playing and for them to go outside! As of now, I plan on being available to take your dogs out to go to the bathroom, come play and would love to walk them.
“I have had my sweet little dog for over 15 years. No one has walked her except for family members and the people at doggy daycare. She is also deaf and partially blind. So I was extremely nervous to have somebody else walk her. But this was perfect! Leandrea did a great job with Jolie! She was on time, didn’t mind Jolie dragging her around the condo building several times, and give her kisses. It was wonderful to hear and to see Jolie happy and excited in all the pictures.”
“Jodi is so great! She is very flexible with my last minute booking and has been great with our dog! She presents with great communication as well! Would recommend!”
About: No kids or pets of my own and a big Jeep means my outdoorsy lifestyle is open and flexible for your fur babies. I'm experienced with dogs from all walks of life. You name it, I'm down for it. I have confident experience with reactive dogs and big breeds especially. I'm a part time barista, working mostly evenings, so morning and mid-day walks work best for me. I am available for night walks after work as well, if that works for your schedule. Weekend boarding is best with advance notice, as I occasionally pick up Friday and Saturday shifts at the coffee shop. I live on the second floor with access to a fenced in backyard. Hardwood floors in home. No kids or other pets of my own. I do have houseplants if your dog is sensitive to soils, fungus, or has a history of plant eating. Crating is an option I'm comfortable with if that's what helps your furry friend feel safe, though my ideal set up is to share my whole space and enriching lifestyle with your pup, or to visit them in their home where they're already comfortable. I'm mobile with the Jeep as well, so we don't have to stick to my neighborhood if your dog is reactive and needs some extra space.
“Wonderful Rover experience! Everything you would want when considering someone to care for your fur baby - Laurie is very responsive, professional, genuine, and caring. 10/10, will definitely use her services again and would recommend.”
About: My family has had dogs and cats for most of my life. But my apartment at the moment doesn't allow them so I'm looking for opportunities to walk dogs. I work from home so I have plenty of time to pop out and walk a dog in the neighborhood. Looking forward to dog walking again! I keep dogs on a leash and we stay on the sidewalk while walking. I also keep dogs away from other dogs to avoid any situations.
“Yesterday was the first time walking our dog. Jessica communicated when she would arrive, when walking our dog, where they walked and shared photos of our dog taking a walk. I was out of town and felt very confident that Jessica was taking good care of our dog. We will have Jessica take care of Louie, our dog, again.”
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
“Chelsea too very good care of my dog - hanging out when he preferred a cuddle over a walk or spending time outside when that was his preference. All the while, she kept me up to date with messages and photos.”

About: I've grown up around pets my entire life and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I was raised with dogs-especially a Golden Retriever from the time I was seven years old-which taught me responsibility, consistency, and how important routine, exercise, and attention are for a happy dog. I'm very comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic grooming, and understanding different personalities and energy levels. In addition to dogs, I've also grown up with cats since l was a baby and have extensive experience caring for them as well. I understand cat behavior, feeding routines, litter box care, play, and the importance of respecting their space while still giving them affection and attention. I truly love animals and treat every pet as it they were my own. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and patient, and I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. Whether it's walks, drop-ins, or extended care, my goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. It fits perfectly into my week at any time from 10:30 am to night time at 7pm. I can take them along and burn some energy out no matter if I come to the house or take them on walks. I could have them as long as you need I have a fenced in yard if I bring the dog(s) back to my house. When I am at your home I will be able to take them outside play fetch, teach them tricks and healing and commands that you wish to be taught. I can do this both at my house or at yours and of course taking them on walks daily.

“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!”
“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.”
“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:)”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”

We will be using Daniel again in the future and look forward to them being a part of Griffey’s life :)”

About: My dog Fletcher and I would love company while I work from home. I love dogs and have the flexibility to go on walks and play outside during the day! I’m currently a student at KU so I have plenty of flexibility between classes and my part time job. I’m most available on weekends but also random times through out the day. I will be sure to know the surrounding of client’s homes in order to keep track of pets and understand where they are allowed to go. I want to ensure safety of clients pets.

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.”
“Joe has very helpful when assisting me in a last minute booking due to another sitter not responding to me upon dropping my dog off. He also kept me very updated throughout the day letting me know how my little guy was doing! Would recommend and will definitely be rebooking! Thanks!!”
