“How and Lilly did a great job, as usual! CC seemed to have a wonderful first night at their place and they sent multiple updates and photos that put my mind at ease. Highly recommend!”
“Rebecca and Dave did a wonderful job with my dog Suki and were very communicative from start to finish. They have a great environment for the pups and are good people. I know my lil girl had a great vacation while I was on mine!”
“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!”
“Katrina was a great sitter! She updated us regularly throughout the visit on how our pup was doing. We did one day of daycare with her before an overnight weekend and that worked perfectly! Our pup was so comfortable with her and they got along great! We will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Laura took such good care of our dog, Plum, for a week while we were out of town. She sent me photo updates of Plum playing with her dog Diesel every day, and it was clear that her family was showing him so much love. I am so grateful to Laura for watching over Plum for us and being so responsive, reliable, and warm. Her house was also super close to the airport which made pick up / drop of very convenient and a safe fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in. I highly recommend booking with Laura and will do so again next time!”
“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.”
“Mary is the best!!! She’s taken care of our pup many times and she’s our go-to sitter. We always get lots of pictures of their walks and adventures and we can tell our dog loves being with her! Highly recommend Mary for pet care!!”
“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!”
“Zachary was great with my petsitting needs - especially given that I reached out for the first time within a week of needing the help. He fit me into his schedule for a meet n greet (which went really well), I really liked that he had a fenced in backyard. The stay was arranged for 5 days (I ended up coming back a day early and was able to pick him up early). Zachary provided updates early in the stay to let me know how my dog was settling in. Zachary was very responsive to my messages and was quick to reply. If you have a dog with separation anxiety (like mine), it was great that he lives in a house, so there were no wall neighbors (such as apartments) to worry about with any barking. If I find myself traveling for a few days again, I will definitely reach out to see if Zachary is available to watch my dog!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I could not be happier! Dawn and her husband were wonderful sitters. My dog, Jax, was obviously comfortable within minutes of walking in the house. Through out his stay Dawn would send pictures so I could see for myself how ‘chilled’ Jax was. I highly recommend Dawn and would definitely leave Jax in her care again.”
“I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Ashley and her family. Penelope has stayed with Ashley before, and it is so clear how much they genuinely adore her — and the feeling is absolutely mutual! Ashley is incredible about sending me photos and little updates throughout the day, so I always know how Penelope is doing and what kind of fun she is getting into. There is such a difference between knowing your pet is being well cared for and knowing she is being genuinely loved while you’re away, and with Ashley, I never have to worry for a second. Her entire family is so incredibly sweet to Penelope, and she is clearly completely comfortable and happy in their home. When I picked her up today, she genuinely seemed like she would have preferred to stay with them rather than come home with me — which I suppose is the highest praise a pet sitter can receive 😂 Ashley has become someone I completely trust with Penelope, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We will absolutely be back!”
“Kim (and her husband Tom) are the best sitters. Kim is very responsive, communicative, and truly seems to enjoy all of her dog visitors. She has a fenced-in yard, and pets of her own that just go with the flow. Don't like her too much though because I want her to be available for ME! Ha!”
“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!”
“Gabriel treated our dog like his own. He took him out for many walks per day and my dog loved playing with his cute little one! He was super communicative and sent us updates every day. We won't hesitate to book with Gabriel again.”
“My anxious dog settled in beautifully with Frank and his two little dogs, allowing me to enjoy a worry-free two week vacation. Frank sent updates with photos which greatly reassured me that all was going even better than hoped. Honey clearly enjoyed a relaxing time with Frank in his home and made new friends with his dogs. I highly recommend Frank and would not hesitate to rebook with him!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, even dogs that can be leash, collar, and dog aggressive when walking. I am mostly available later in the week and weekends due to being a full time student, but have breaks in between my school days! There is a green area for dogs down the street from me and a quick 15 minute walk towards the lake for more walking paths!
About: I am currently a foster parent for the Humane Society and have grown up with dogs all my life. I have crate and potty trained several puppies and worked with older dogs on behavioral needs. I am off of work in summer and have availability to spend time with pets! I can take dogs for a walk or just play with them. I’m used to caring for my foster animals throughout the day. I have a medium sized crate in my apartment, along with a park and trails right across the street! There are plenty of nice walks and a fenced in pet park nearby.

“Angie was great with my little gal, Siggy! Even though she is pretty shy, Angie was patient and gave her plenty of snuggles and love. She was super responsive the whole time, and you can tell she's a genuine animal lover. New go to cat sitter :)”
“Leandrea did an absolute wonderful job with my kitty! It was the second time I hired her and I have nothing negative to say about the experience! Thank you for everything :’)”
“Danielle took excellent care of my cat while I was out of town - she was even able to brush him, which he normally hates! Great communication and daily updates. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Chelsea came by while I was out-of-town to drop-in on my cat José for three days. She fed him, changed his water, cleaned out his litter box, and played with him. I would definitely book Chelsea again and would recommend her to anyone looking for drop-ins!”
“Courney was the absolute best. She helped me with more than just watching my animal. She helped bring in the mail when it got delivered and even went out of her way to get toys for my pet during Christmas time. She is an animal lover for sure. If there is anyone that I would rebook again with it would be her.”
About: I have experience with cats of all walks of life, shy independent cats, social snuggle bugs, and even the cats who don't exactly appreciate the work I put in, all our feline friends deserve confident and dependable care no matter their lifestyle. My husband is allergic to cats, so we can't have any of our own. Getting to hang out with yours for the weekend, in whatever capacity, is something special I get to look forward to.
“Heather is a fantastic pet sitter! I appreciated the thorough communication and great care she gave to Toby's preferences and needs. I felt Toby was in great hands and would love to work with her again!”
“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.”
“Jessica did a great job attending to the needs of our cats. She was timely, prompt and provided thorough notes and pictures of her visits. Additionally, she went above and beyond by cleaning up messes and even bringing in a package for us. I would reccomend her to all. Thanks Jessica!”
“Kristy did a great job caring for my kitty. She was prompt and clear with all our communications, starting with the first meeting, and was very pleasant to work with. I'll definitely contact her again next time.”
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 💓
“Kaleigh was ready and available to get me setup with the dates I needed, even with short notice. My cats were loved and cared for exactly to my instructions and even helped the turtle even though that was optional. I received clear pictures of each cat per visit which gave me piece of mind. I do plan to re-book with her for our next trip.”
“Nicole was wonderful! She took great care of my cat and kept me updated the whole time. I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty, and felt totally at ease while I was away. I would absolutely book with her again!”
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!

“Alexandrea took great care of my 12 week old puppy Driggs. 😊 She sent me lots of photos of Driggs and kept me updated on how he was doing. She also watched him back to back last minute and I appreciated her willingness to do so! I will definitely be using her again and totally recommend her!”
“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!”
“It was our first time using the day dog care services and they were so patient with our Cooper I also really appreciate the last minute accepting our request to dog sit when we had no one to watch our dog last minute. It was very convenient and we had a great experience for our first time.”
“Linda was super accommodating for a last minute booking, she was very flexible with the pick up and drop off times and she was very kind to us and amazing with our babies!”
“Wendy is the absolute best! Professional, always gives so much love to my Dexter and all her other doggie pals that come over. She gives plenty updates and pictures to assure you that your fur baby is having the time of his his/her life! She’s the best and so friendly and loving. Safety is a big concern of mine. As I’m an over protective dog mom. Quality 10/10 safety 10/10 communication 10/10 and flexibility with scheduling 10/10.”
“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!”
“Katrina is super communicative and really friendly. Our pup seemed to be really comfortable with her, and her sweet dogs. We needed a new sitter and are feeling really positive about Katrina being a great fit.”
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.
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: 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.
“Yshonda treated my Kingsley so well and kept me informed with pictures and videos. I was able to work without anxiety knowing she was caring for my fur baby.”
“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!”

“Bernice is very kind and easy going- I never used rover so she helped me understand the process. She was great about coming at the time agreed upon and took great care when walking my dog!”
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 comfortable with dogs from all walks of life. 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.
“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!”
“Angela took such good care of our boys! She was on time, a great communicator and sent awesome photos! Would highly recommend her for your pet’s care needs!”
“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! ☺️”
“Chelsea was great with my bully Rocky! She responded to my inquiry extremely fast and was communicative the whole time. She sent me a picture of my fur baby on his walk and I could tell how happy he was!”
“Leandrea always provides stellar service and communication no matter what she does. We had Leandrea stay in our house and used her walking services. Each time she was awesome in both caring for my scared dog and with communication!”
About: I’m a reliable and attentive pet sitter. I provide the exercise, affection, and midday relief they deserve. I treat every pet like they’re my own!

About: My sister and I grew up playing and helping our older neighbors in the area walk and take care of their dogs. My family has had cats my whole life that I’ve had experience taking care of. In high school I’d house/pet sit friends & family friends’ dogs & cats while they were on vacation, & started rover sitting during college! An actor, bartender, & graduate of UWMilwaukee with an open schedule! Looking to fill that time taking care of, spending time with, and getting to know your pets! I love the outdoors and I can take your dogs on lots of walks based on their needs! I always check if doors are locked before I leave/sleep & make sure to put away anything that pets can get into if they are left to roam. I stay clean so I make sure to clean any mess I or the pets create. I can also crate your pets if needed.
“Darcy is always so excited to hear Diana’s voice at the bottom of the stairs. She charges down to greet her. They give each other a lot of attention. I highly recommend a walk and visit from Diana. Darcy is waiting for their next walk.”
“Steven was fantastic! As a first-time dog owner, I’ve never left my puppy alone or with anyone else until now, so this was a big step for me. I’m so grateful to have found someone I (and Moose!) trust and feel comfortable with. He took great care of Moose, and it definitely showed - Moose is happy and completely worn out after the day. Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
About: Hi there! I’m Karla DJ, your soon-to-be pet care companion! By day, I work at a desk with computers, so I cherish the breaks I get to spend caring for pets—it’s the perfect way to recharge! In my free time, I love DIY projects and training my own dog, Lola. I’ve been an animal lover all my life, growing up with two turtles, a guinea pig named Bobo, a Shih Tzu mix named Chucho, and a Pomeranian named Princess. Over the years, I’ve also been a rescue mom and the go-to dog sitter for friends and family. One of my favorite stories? While living in Houston, I met the sweetest rescue pup and instantly knew she was meant to be mine—that’s how Lola, my loving Carolina mix (and partner in crime!), joined my life. Now, as I train Lola at home, I’d love to extend that care to your pets too! Whether it’s a refreshing walk, a fresh bowl of water, or some extra playtime and treats, I’m here to make their day brighter. Plus, I live with my sister, so your furry friends will get double the love and attention! I can’t wait to meet your pets and help make their days happier! I'm a morning person and my day starts a 5am! With so much time I'd love to be more productive and help others with their pets. I'm available all day Saturday to Sunday and during the week depends but very flexible from Monday to Wednesday. **I'm happy to help with all your pet care needs!** Whether it's refilling food and water, administering medications, keeping your home pet-secure, or providing walks and car rides - I've got you covered. Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priorities! Let me know how I can best care for your furry friend. I look forward to helping!
About: I have worked at a dog daycare for the last 7 years and have watched friends, family, and neighbors pets including dogs, cats, and lizards. I also babysit. I am now working as a dolphin trainer and am usually only available on my days off, but the timing of my shifts does vary daily and weekly. I just moved to the area so caring for your pets will help me get to know the area better. I am a full time zoological specialist so I’m really only available on my days off or if your pet is okay on their own for a longer period of time. I am currently in an apartment so I am only able to come to clients homes, but that doesn’t mean my level of care is any less!
About: Growing up in a two dog household and volunteering at our local humane society, I was constantly surrounded by dogs and animals as a child. Into adulthood, I have years of experience with puppies, elderly dogs, and many personalities as I professionally dog walked for Gentle Hearts in Denver, and foster cared for the Montana Humane Society while constantly dog sitting for friends and family. Professional past includes house training the pups, feeding, walk training, lots of playing, and constant daily routine! I have cared for elderly dogs with medication care, carrying them outside, hand feeding and bathing. I have a deep belief in positive reinforcement training, and highly discourage using force or fear when caring for a dog. I believe in using treats, playtime and outside zoomies as a reward for good behavior. The importance of a dog feeling safe, loved, and positively trained is my priority! I have caring experience with animals from hamsters to lizards, to kitties, birds and farm animals (I volunteered on farms caring for sheep, cows, and horses!) I have one eight year old dog of my own currently, after our fourteen year old dog just recently passed away. We miss him dearly and hold him in our hearts every single day. I truly have been surrounded and cared for dogs and pets my whole life, and can’t wait to assist in caring for yours! I currently am available to dog walk and pet-sit on Monday until 4 pm, Tuesdays until 4 pm, and Fridays until 4 pm. I work in the service industry as a server and bartender, and tend to be busier at night. I am unavailable on Saturdays as I work doubles at the restaurant. I believe in positive reinforcement training, by giving treats, pets and playtime as a reward. I am capable of walking small to extra large dogs, with much experience from pups to elderly. I believe in three walks a day for a healthy dog, and will typically take your pet on a 30-60 minute walk if they are healthy and able!

“Marilynn took great care of our pup. We felt comfortable leaving town knowing he was in good hands. She even brushed him before he came home. We will be using Marilynn again :)”
“How and Lilly did a great job, as usual! CC seemed to have a wonderful first night at their place and they sent multiple updates and photos that put my mind at ease. Highly 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!”
“Katrina was a great sitter! She updated us regularly throughout the visit on how our pup was doing. We did one day of daycare with her before an overnight weekend and that worked perfectly! Our pup was so comfortable with her and they got along great! We will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Kayla was awesome ! Her communication was out of this world . My babygirl 🐶 really enjoyed her staycation . I’ll definitely book again — and if you’re considering booking with Kayla don’t hesitate!”
“Laura took such good care of our dog, Plum, for a week while we were out of town. She sent me photo updates of Plum playing with her dog Diesel every day, and it was clear that her family was showing him so much love. I am so grateful to Laura for watching over Plum for us and being so responsive, reliable, and warm. Her house was also super close to the airport which made pick up / drop of very convenient and a safe fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in. I highly recommend booking with Laura and will do so again next time!”
“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.”
“Mary is the best!!! She’s taken care of our pup many times and she’s our go-to sitter. We always get lots of pictures of their walks and adventures and we can tell our dog loves being with her! Highly recommend Mary for pet care!!”
“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!”
“Zachary was great with my petsitting needs - especially given that I reached out for the first time within a week of needing the help. He fit me into his schedule for a meet n greet (which went really well), I really liked that he had a fenced in backyard. The stay was arranged for 5 days (I ended up coming back a day early and was able to pick him up early). Zachary provided updates early in the stay to let me know how my dog was settling in. Zachary was very responsive to my messages and was quick to reply. If you have a dog with separation anxiety (like mine), it was great that he lives in a house, so there were no wall neighbors (such as apartments) to worry about with any barking. If I find myself traveling for a few days again, I will definitely reach out to see if Zachary is available to watch my dog!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I could not be happier! Dawn and her husband were wonderful sitters. My dog, Jax, was obviously comfortable within minutes of walking in the house. Through out his stay Dawn would send pictures so I could see for myself how ‘chilled’ Jax was. I highly recommend Dawn and would definitely leave Jax in her care again.”
“Kim (and her husband Tom) are the best sitters. Kim is very responsive, communicative, and truly seems to enjoy all of her dog visitors. She has a fenced-in yard, and pets of her own that just go with the flow. Don't like her too much though because I want her to be available for ME! Ha!”
“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: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, even dogs that can be leash, collar, and dog aggressive when walking. I am mostly available later in the week and weekends due to being a full time student, but have breaks in between my school days! There is a green area for dogs down the street from me and a quick 15 minute walk towards the lake for more walking paths!
“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 is a great communicator. He provided a wonderful environment for Jameson. Very attentive to our needs. Very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would recommend him to everyone who is interested in getting great care for their dogs!”
