“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!”
“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!”
“Yolanda and Rashad’s years of experience caring for all kinds of dogs showed in their confidence taking in our sweet, old pup, and managing him among many others. Their kind, calm demeanor also made him feel comfortable and welcome in their home. Best of all, he returned to us, healthy and well.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Kim was amazing with Millie! Millie stayed with her for three nights, and Kim kept in touch and sent us pictures every day. It looked like Millie had a wonderful time and was very happy and comfortable with her. We had such a great experience and would definitely have Millie stay with Kim again!”
“I can't be thankful enough. He was not only perfect in taking care of my 8 month old puppy, he was flexible in timing as well if you want an ease of mind I do 100% recommend him.”
“Monique was awesome! She’s an expert in introducing all the pups to each other and making sure play is safe. We received regular (sometimes hilarious) updates that assured us that Coltrane has happy and healthy. The space is amazing and Coltrane loved it! We also received a report of how Coltrane’s time went, which was great. I would definitely recommend Monique and book with her again.”
“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 🐾”
“MJ was great, my usually shy skittish dog immediately felt comfortable and started playing with the other dogs staying there. MJ clearly understands animals”
“Angela was absolutely amazing! I received multiple pictures a day of my dog enjoying spending time with her pups and family. She was treated her as if she was a part of the family. In fact, when I went to pick her up she didn’t want to leave ha! I would most definitely book Angela again in a heart beat. -Allie”
“Laura did a great job with my pup again! I know that he is well cared for and safe when she is taking care of him. He always has a great time with her dog Diesel and goes on nice walks. I love how he always comes back to me good and tired! I highly recommend Laura and I will definitely be using her again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“This is the first time we have boarded our dogs with Maria and Nayibe. We were so pleased with the regular updates they provided. Maria and Nayibe were so kind and caring, always attentive to our dogs' needs. They kept us informed on how our dogs were doing and sent pictures daily. They even went to great lengths to ensure our dogs ate well, which was a common concern for them when we were away. Our dogs were so comfortable that they were in no rush to leave. We will definitely use Maria and Nayibe's boarding services 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!”
“Elizabeth and her family took great care of our dog for 3 nights! We appreciated the photo updates and thoughtful communication. Would definitely recommend Elizabeth to anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Sherry was so amazing in accommodating my senior pup within her home. Tedi was very comfortable and was able to enjoy all of her favorite things with Sherry from naps on the couch to car rides. I appreciated the photos and updates I received and could not have felt more comfortable being away from Tedi for an extended period of time. Definitely will be asking for a repeat stay should her schedule allow!”
“Katie and her family have watched our dog a few times. Our dog loves it at Katie's. She runs up to the door all excited to stay. Katie is very responsive and has been flexible when needed. She is a great communicator and makes it so I don't have to worry about our dog while we are away.”

“Whitney was amazing with our two cats! She left wonderful comments and pictures from each visit and our place was very clean when we came home (usually there is litter everywhere around the litter boxes) ? Will definitely have her take care of them again!”
“Angela was amazing! We have two cats, one of which is quite afraid of new people and hides under the couch. Angela was able to draw him out and earn his trust very quickly, which meant we could relax on vacation without worrying that he was spending an extended period of time with no snuggling, petting, or playing (which has happened in the past with other sitters). We were thrilled!”
“Carrianne was amazing with my cat Millie! Very nice and friendly in our initial meet and put such great care towards my cat. Incredibly thorough updates with super cute pictures!! Will definitely be reaching out again next time I need services, 10/10 recommend!!”
“We had a great experience with Danny. He was patient with our rescue cats and very communicative throughout. Lots of photos and video which we really appreciated. We would gladly use his services again!”
“Ilene took such good care of my cats while I was out of town. She sent me so many pictures and it was so nice and reassuring to see how much fun my girls were having while I was away. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“We are very happy with Vicki’s taking care of our cat, who we found in great shape after 18 days we were gone. Vicki went over and above our expectations. Getting regular updates and pictures was very comforting and appreciated. We are so glad we discovered Vicki on Rover, hope we can have Vicki to cat sit for us again and would recommend her to anyone looking for an extended pet care.”
“Hanna did an amazing job caring for our two cats while we were away on vacation. She was incredibly reliable, communicated regularly, and sent plenty of photos that gave us peace of mind while we were gone. It was clear our cats were well cared for and comfortable in her hands. This was our second time booking with Hanna, and we will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Travis stopped by for a short meetup and walkthrough before my trip. He became fast buddies with my kitty, and also put me at ease knowing my kitty would be in great hands while I was away!”
“Kim has great communication and attention to detail. She clearly cares for animals dearly so I felt very comfortable having her check in on my cats. She gave nice updates and pictures.”
“Jan was great!! Super friendly- sent me pictures of Milo. I will definitely schedule again with her and recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter! Thanks:)”
About: I've loved cats for as long as I can remember. My first pet was a cat named Cindy, along with her sister, Soncy. A few years later we adopted a tabby named Oliver. I grew up with Cindy & Soncy for about 15 years, and once we adopted Oliver, we have had him for 10 years. I currently do not live with the cats anymore, now that I have adopted a dog. But I am very familiar with the everyday care that cats need, including feeding, litter boxes, playtime, affection, and giving them space when they want it. I know that every cat has a different personality and that some want constant attention while others are happiest doing their own thing. Whether your cat wants to play, cuddle, make biscuits, or simply have some quiet company, I am happy to meet them where they are at.
About: I have taken care of cats of every age nearly my entire life. I currently have 3 long-haired cats with all very different personalities! I am knowledgeable in cat body language and how to respond to certain cues a cat is showing me. I am a big fan of using Fear Free tactics to gain the trust of any cat I interact with!

“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.”
“My 4 month old puppy had a fantastic morning with Auria and her 2 dogs. Elliot was able not only to socializie with adult dogs, but also a soon to be 4 year old grand-daughter. Sounds like my puppy did very well -- now I can add that to his Rover profile!! Auria's dogs did not bark at Elliot when we arrived and were very relaxed, yet full of energy, and friendly to our puppy. I hope that when the need arises we can bring Elliot over again. I wouldn't hesitate to make it a regular dog day care, since it was such a positive experience (for everyone!). Thank you Auria for being available when I was looking for daycare the night before.”
“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!”
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: After several busy months on Rover with almost nonstop bookings, I have had such great stays with dozens of dogs, no accidents in the houses, no bites, no runaways, zero negative experiences. I feel confident that with me, you’re getting a premium stay for your pets for a really good value! I’m incredibly hands on and present with the pets, with them 24/7 and very adaptable with the different needs and personalities. I’m attentive with different care instructions and really shower the animals with positive attention 😊 I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. 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 because 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.
About: I helped raise my own two family dogs and ensured that they were always walked, bathed, fed, and happy. It's also a habit of mine to go take the extra step like wiping my dogs and make sure they are clean after they've been outside. I've also taken care of my neighbor's dogs alongside our own family dogs, so I have experience handling multiple pets at once. I work full-time, Monday through Friday, while working from home 2-3 days a week. I also go to workout classes in the evening. Normally, if working from home, I take the dogs out for a walk in the morning. On other days, I take them for a walk in the evening. I normally take pets out 3 times a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and night. I make sure the dogs have a dedicated spot for food and bed. I have both a park and a dog park, 5-10 minutes away from my apartment, which I can take the pets to for a walk or some dog play time. There are also multiple yard-like grass areas where the dogs are meant to do their business. If pets stay with me for longer than two weeks, I bathe them every other week.

I know how to give cats and dogs proper care and attention. I have worked with hundreds of animals professionally through my work in multiple animal shelters as a kennel tech and shelter manager. 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! I have 7 years of professional experience and 4 years of education in animal behavior. With this I am able to keep a keen eye on the safety of your pets environment!
“MJ was amazing with Bobo and warmed up to him in such a short amount of time (usually it takes a while and even days!) He knew how to read Bobo and knew exactly how to interact with him. Definitely will be seeking out MJ to look after Bobo many more times.”
“Jan provides excellent care of Hercules. I get photo updates throughout his stay and messages as necessary. Herc is always exhausted and ready for a nap after a full day of play.”
About: Hi! I’m Andrew, and I provide dependable, attentive, one-on-one care for dogs. My goal is simple: to help your dog feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities over the years, including family dogs, regular clients, and dogs I’ve walked and cared for in home settings.

“Jessica is our favorite sitter! When I pick Mickey up from a stay with Jessica, he is happy and tired from his walks with her, in a very good way. She is so kind and gentle with him, I know my senior pup is in very good hands.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and patience I have for animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level rather than treating every pet the same. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I’m able to make time throughout the week for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I provide loving, attentive, and reliable care while following each pet’s routine and individual needs. I prioritize safety, comfort, feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep their pet’s routine consistent. I’m also happy to send updates and photos for peace of mind.

“Carrianne was able to help us with a last minute walk for our dog. She took the time to stop by the day before to meet him. We appreciated the help and would book her again if the chance comes up!”
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. Full time pet sitter, meaning I’m home all day with flexibility every day. I love getting my steps in, so I am more than happy to take your pup on long walks! While boarding or daycare with me, your dog will join me and Killian on our walks, get treats, lick mats (with your consent of course) and cuddles. 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. Im an introvert, so I stay home most days and when I do step out, it’s only for a few hours and I do have a pet camera to keep an eye on the doggos. 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!

“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: I have had experience caring for many different kinds of animals throughout my life, such as dogs, horses, guinea pigs, and fish. 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 on the weekends. 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.
“I needed a walker yesterday because I couldn’t be physically away from my home, so I was there when Andrew arrived. He texted when he was on his way, arrived promptly, and spent a couple of extra minutes greeting Rosie, on her level, letting her check him out and get comfortable with him - I was pleased. When they were out walking, a friend happened to see them and called me to tell me that she was impressed with how patient and gentle he was with her. He obviously made a positive impression on Rosie because she was very excited when he returned in the afternoon for her 2nd walk. I will definitely use Andrew for my future needs.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I’m reliable, patient, and will always treat your pets like they’re my own. I also have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them!

“My dog gets excited when she hears that her friend Daniel has arrived for their afternoon walk. He seems to enjoy his time with her as well and is very kind and communicative. I've only had positive experiences with Daniel.”
“I’m so glad I found Jan on Rover! She is a great dog walker. When she came and met our puppy prior to her first walk I could tell she is a big dog lover. Her job is flexible so she is able to be flexible with coming over as well. Great at communicating about the walk/playtime. Our puppy had a stomach bug and she kindly cleaned up his accidents when she came over. I also overbooked her and unfortunately had to cancel a few walks. She was very nice about it. I will definitely be using her again! I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Travis did a very good job walking my dog Mikah while I was away. He is very friendly and my dog warmed up to him instantly. He was very persistent with the report cards and sending photos. Definitely would work with him again and recommend!”
About: My dog care history began when I was in middle school and became caretaker for my family dog, Charlie (a Shiba inu mix). I have walked and cared for dogs of many different sizes and all ages both in my personal life and professionally. I have over 3 years if experience at doggy daycares. In my personal life I have cared for my dilute tortie Smokie for 7 of her 8 years. I have also cared for reptiles and amphibians at the Urban Ecology Center and am trained to handle snapping turtles. I love animals of all kinds. I work part time and currently have a very open availability. I am willing to work weekends and holidays. Please ask me if I'm available! I believe in the importance of safety, health, and enrichment. Your animals needs - both physical and emotional - are a priority to me. I put in the time and effort your animal deserves.
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.
About: I am a part time college student. I am going to school to get my ECE Degree. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 by volunteering at humane societies and having my own dogs. I also worked at a doggy daycares throughout Florida and Wisconsin. I love all dogs like they are my children. I would love to own my own rescue center but as of now I want to gain more experience with taking care of different breeds and just express my love of animals to the world. I hope that you choose me to be a temporary parent for your dog and that he or she is in perfect hands and will feel at home. Thank you. Hopefully we speak soon. I work third shift for Target and dog sit during the day. I make sure they are taken out three-four times and feed twice a day. I care for them like they are children. Go on walks, feed, cuddle. Run like crazy and crash from exhaustion. I also love getting to know the dogs personality.

She took her on multiple walks each day and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind.

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!”

“Kim was amazing with Millie! Millie stayed with her for three nights, and Kim kept in touch and sent us pictures every day. It looked like Millie had a wonderful time and was very happy and comfortable with her. We had such a great experience and would definitely have Millie stay with Kim again!”
“Monique was awesome! She’s an expert in introducing all the pups to each other and making sure play is safe. We received regular (sometimes hilarious) updates that assured us that Coltrane has happy and healthy. The space is amazing and Coltrane loved it! We also received a report of how Coltrane’s time went, which was great. I would definitely recommend Monique and book with her again.”
“MJ was great, my usually shy skittish dog immediately felt comfortable and started playing with the other dogs staying there. MJ clearly understands animals”
“Laura did a great job with my pup again! I know that he is well cared for and safe when she is taking care of him. He always has a great time with her dog Diesel and goes on nice walks. I love how he always comes back to me good and tired! I highly recommend Laura and I will definitely be using her again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Elizabeth and her family took great care of our dog for 3 nights! We appreciated the photo updates and thoughtful communication. Would definitely recommend Elizabeth to anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Sherry was so amazing in accommodating my senior pup within her home. Tedi was very comfortable and was able to enjoy all of her favorite things with Sherry from naps on the couch to car rides. I appreciated the photos and updates I received and could not have felt more comfortable being away from Tedi for an extended period of time. Definitely will be asking for a repeat stay should her schedule allow!”
“Katie and her family have watched our dog a few times. Our dog loves it at Katie's. She runs up to the door all excited to stay. Katie is very responsive and has been flexible when needed. She is a great communicator and makes it so I don't have to worry about our dog while we are away.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Lisa was amazing with our dog Winston. She made it easy for us to leave and feel at ease on our vacation. She is extremely kind and it was obvious to us she worked very hard to make sure Winston was happy and comfortable in her home. Communication was great and we appreciated the updates and the photos. We already have another stay with Lisa on the books.”
“Evita was great with my pups. She was super welcoming and her home was perfect for my dogs. They really enjoyed her backyard and all the playtime. Thank you!”
“According to our dog sitter review specialist, our little Chihuahua, Cosita... she had a wonderful overnight visit with Auria and is looking forward to her return visit in a few days. She was very pleased with the care she received and enjoyed meeting and interfacing with the other dogs. We were also impressed with the great care that Cosita received and have a few more visits scheduled.”
“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.”
