“Maria and Nayibe were wonderful. My dog did great there. They sent lots of updates, photos, and videos. My dog loved the fenced in backyard. Maria even let my dog sleep in her bed at night! It was perfect. I could relax an enjoy my time away knowing that my dog was receiving such good care.”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“Katrina is wonderful. She was a great sitter for our dog for an extended vacation and we really appreciated her care. We didn’t worry about Abbey at all. Abbey was obviously happy at Katrina’s house and loves to hang out with her dogs! Thanks so much Katrina!”
“Sarah, Dan and their girls were amazing! Badger loves children and had a ball. They provided pictures during the stay which helped calm our nerves. We noticed he was exhausted when he got home which is a good sign. We would definitely use them 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!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary and would highly recommend her!! She boarded our dog in her home for nine nights. She was extremely responsive and flexible, and sent lots of pictures with our dog playing and going on walks to his favorite places. We could tell how much she enjoys animals. Thank you for taking such good care of Auggie! 😀”
“Teri did a wonderful job caring for Winnie! She sent us daily updates and photos, reviewed all of our care instructions during our drop-off and made sure everything went smoothly. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been pet sitting small and medium dogs and cats for 8 years through house-sitting, daily walks, and multiple check-ins while families are at work or away. I currently work until 3:30 Monday-Thursday (sometimes a mix of in-person and virtual) and virtually on Fridays. I don’t work Saturdays or Sundays so I am completely free those days. My schedule is flexible and open for walks, check-ins, and house sits! Pet safety is my number one priority. I treat every pet with love and kindness to establish trust. I respect and honor the wishes of every owner regarding both pet care and house care.
“Miko loved staying with kristi! She sent me the cutest videos and pictures of my little guy. And was so friendly and accommodating for my last minute booking! I would definitely have him stay again if needed!”

“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!”
“Jessica took great care of my cat! It was clear from the daily cards that my cat warmed up to her quickly, and they spent good quality time snuggling and playing together.”
“Tressa was friendly and pleasant to us (cats' Mom & Dad), and - best of all - was warmly greeted by our 2 cats beginning with her very first visit! She must have the VIBE. She was professional and prompt, and sent us reports about and pictures of our fur babies every day that we were away. We felt very comfortable leaving her in charge, and will gladly do so again.”
“Jackie took great care of our cat on short notice when we decided to go out of town for Thanksgiving. I could tell from the pictures she sent that our cat was very, very happy!!! Thanks, Jackie!!!”
“The experience with Abigail was awesome. We have never used Rover and she made it super easy and made us feel comfortable with someone coming into our home and taking care of our babies. Our boys (two cats) loved having Abigail here to feed them and play with them! When we need someone to watch our boys again, Abigail will be the one we call!”
“Happy to refer Jessica as a fantastic pet sitter. Communication was on point and we felt confident leaving Bowie in her capable care. Will definitely be working with Jessica again.”
About: My biggest flex is that I trained my cat. She can sit, lay down, and stand up on command (with treats of course). I spend a lot of time making sure she feels well played with, and I would love to do the same for your pet!
“We are thankful for Travis’ help when we are away. He always shows up when promised and we feel our furry friends are safe and in good hands with him. . :-)”
“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!!”
“It’s hard to be away from an elderly cat with health issues but Hope makes sure he’s very well taken care of and always brings me peace of mind while I’m away!”
About: I grew up with two cats and two dogs, so I’ve been around pets for most of my life! I got my own dog five years ago, and I have been taking care of her ever since. I love any and all types of pets, and I have am flexible with times and can accommodate mamy different schedules. Along with taking care of my own dog, I am available throughout the day to stop in and check on/walk dogs. I am also available any day to stay over as a sitter. My one and only priority would be taking care of your pet. I would never be intrusive or inappropriate in your home. I would treat it with the respect I would want from a sitter.
“We have hired Angela twice, and would love to have her again. We have 2 very shy cats and they actually come out and play with her. Angela is very thorough and gives us updates with pictures during every visit.”
“Carole is wonderful with animals, especially our older cat Penelope. She’s so thoughtful in her approach to pet care. Grateful whenever she is available!”

“Kim is amazing! We always have her watch our dachshund Wendi whenever we go out of town or have an event to go to. She is so responsive and such a kind person! When she’s watching our dog, we know our dog is in great hands.Our dog always comes home happy and sleepy after hanging out with Kim and her dog! Thank you!!”
“Mickey loved his afternoon with Jessica! She took him for walks and made him feel at home. He was relaxed and happy when I picked him up. Jessica is such a kind soul, we feel extemely fortunate to have found her!”
About: I adapt my energy to your pet’s needs, whether it’s a high-energy playtime session or providing a calm, comforting presence for a relaxing day I’m currently working part time on weekends and my hours do get cut short. Im available on boarding for weekends and weekdays at 10am and mostly anytime that works for you on weekdays will work for me. I have a dog park next door across from the apartment and a lot of walking and grate spots to walk around out through my neighborhood. And you dog can be crated if needed.
“Monique was great! She was very straightforward about the process and how she has dogs in her home, which I appreciate greatly! Tatum has separation anxiety and finding an option that he feels comfortable and safe is really important! She communicated during the day on how he was doing and even got a report card and treats for his first day! This was amazing and I will be working with Monique again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Having our dog stay with MJ has been a great experience! We recently adopted a dog with fairly severe separation anxiety, and I'm not sure how we would have made it through the first months without having someone like MJ to watch her during the day while we work on alone time training. He's always very communicative and flexible, and our dog just loves him. You couldn't ask for a better dog sitter!”
About: I owned a dog growing up and cared for and trained one with my family. I sit for friends and family from time to time and I love to play and take dogs for walks and, if they are able, runs of up to a few miles! I have a fenced in yard, and my kids (4, 8) are also great with animals. I work from home. With the exception of rare travel days, school drop-offs, and evening events, I will always be around the house to care for your pup. Your pet will get the attention it needs, as I work from home and I have a fenced in yard, as well as young boys that are great with animals. Frequent outside visits and play times are very doable.
“Monica was a lifesaver! She was able to watch my little pupperoni (Ciri) last minute. Monica sent me photos of Ciri throughout the day so that I knew how she was doing. It was quite adorable to see how attached Ciri was to Capone. Monica truly set my fears at ease with leaving Ciri for the first time. Thank you!”
“Amy was great with my pup. She took time with us for meet and greet which was reassuring and helpful. Stayed in touch and sent pics while my pup was with her—highly reccomend.”
About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for my large family & friends for years and just decided to see if anyone else would need the service. I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. I like hanging out with the pets like little buddies, getting some days of cuddles and then sending them home 😅. It’s the perfect way to get some fur baby time until I’m ready for my next dog or cat in the future. This is not a business for me, it’s something I have enjoyed doing for my family and friends, and if you want your beloved pet to be in a calm but fun, comfortable environment while you’re away, I can extend my service to you. I recently started doing home stays/drop ins for the pet sitting too and enjoyed it. I currently have a really flexible schedule with a lot of availability. I live with my dad that occasionally says hi if the dog or cat is friendly but mostly the house is big enough that they never cross paths. I have a fenced in yard and a big house with a lot of space that I can also section off by closing doors. I typically take the animals out several times a day, feed them, and let them roam around the house or snuggle with me. I like when pet owners bring a bed for their pets so I can make them their own space but they’re welcome to chill with me in whatever I’m doing. I’m youthful, active, and responsible. I have a naturally friendly, calm demeanor that animals and people respond well to. I have no pets right now but used to have a pit/black lab mix that I loved dearly so I love pits and other breeds with historically bad reputations. I frequently sit my aunt’s beagle mix who’s just a little old pup that sparked my interest for pet sitting cuz it was so fun to have visits from him. He and my old dog are in a bunch of my pics. With all animals I just try to make them comfortable and let them feel at home.
About: I have had dogs of my own since I was 9 years old. I LOVE dogs--especially small ones! I have trained all of my dogs. I board friends' dogs in my home all the time, and am now excited to move into boarding strangers' dogs here on Rover! I work full-time, a mix of in-office and at home. I work from home on Thursdays and have flexibility on Fridays, so it works best for me to be able to provide boarding on long weekends (Thursday-Sunday). I am happy to provide your pet with seamless care and match what they are used to in your home. I have a large yard and a quiet neighborhood. My home has many rooms and I have some gates so that I can separate pets if needed. I also have a puppy play pen for smaller/younger pups who need their own space.
About: I love dogs and animals - they really are the best! I have owned three for many years, raising two from being puppies, and addressing challenging behavior with an older doggo, in addition to fostering multiple rescue dogs. I recently moved to WI and figured I’d give my fur baby some friends to hang with. I am happy to work with you on what’s best, whether that is house sitting, boarding, or simply letting your animals out on walks or to go potty. Let’s chat! I currently work from home and have a remote job, so can provide your dog with any needs or attention that makes sense based on their schedule. I have some in-person meetings that occur throughout the week, and am generally around on the weekends regularly. If planning on boarding or daycare, I now live in a home with a nice backyard. I can easily crate, take out for potty breaks, etc. I am also mindful of dog reactivity regardless of my own or neighbor’s dogs.
“This was first experience with a sitter as well as our puppy's first time with a sitter, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We appreciated the love, attention, and updates. He was well cared for, and we could tell he was happy and comfortable. Thank you for taking good care of him Max.”
“Erin was an excellent host for Katie for daycare! She greeted Katie outside with a treat. We were updated with pictures throughout the day: including Katie playing with their dogs, relaxing like the queen that she is, and exploring the neighborhood on a walk. Erin was flexible with pickup times which really helped with a changing schedule due to travel delays. Already booked another stay for Katie.”
“Markie and Logan came home smiling and tired, which is really all I ask. they had a blast playing with all of the other dogs, and Logan didn't want to come inside from Joe's back yard!”

“Mac did a great job with my pup Cody! He took him on a nice long walk and sent great pictures. His communication was excellent and he was very easy to work with. I highly recommend Max and will be using him again in the future!”
“Alex is an excellent dog walker/caretaker. My dogs love her and she is 100% reliable. She goes out of her way to help her clients. Her communication is excellent and timely. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi! I'm Kalina. I've been around animals my whole life, and they've always been a huge part of it. I've worked with rescue dogs and have experience with pets of all different personalities, so I know that every animal deserves patience, understanding, and care that's tailored to them. I have two cats and a deaf dog of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. My deaf pup has taught me a lot about paying attention to body language, being patient, and finding what works best for each individual pet. Whether your pet is full of energy and loves to play or would rather curl up on the couch, I'm happy to follow their routine and make sure they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll treat them like they're my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I know our pets are family, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until you're back home. Care for your pet fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. That allows me to be available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet's needs. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or spending extra time keeping your fur baby company, I'm happy to work around their routine to help them feel comfortable, happy and cared for. When I'm caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'll carefully follow any instructions you leave regarding feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and any other special needs or preferences. I've been around animals my whole life and have experience working with rescue dogs. My mom also fosters dogs, and I've cared for many of her foster dogs while she's away. That experience has taught me to be patient with dogs who may be shy, anxious, or still adjusting to new people and environments. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they're my own. I'll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident they're happy and well cared for while you're away.
“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! ☺️”
“Met with Maggie for a meet and greet and a walk. Maggie was very responsive and prompt. She was communicative in the app, providing pictures and updates on their potty breaks as well. I’m looking forward to working with her again.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Travis is so kind and knowledgeable, I felt comfortable with him right away. My dogs were also comfortable with him very quickly and that means a great deal to me. He has been reliable and a great communicator.”
About: My experience ranges from small dogs, energetic and easy-going, to medium sized dogs, highly energetic and those with high anxiety. I work best with dogs that have basic training and a medium range of needs. I’m familiar with pets who take scheduled medications and have specific rituals to their daily routines. I am also a big cat lover. I have experience with my own cat of 19 years. I am well versed in her behaviors and also medical needs. I also have experience handling reptiles, like iguanas and bearded dragons. I would love to take great care of your furry friends and provide them with the care they deserve while you are away! I currently work at a hospital with a flexible work schedule. My week to week schedule can vary greatly depending on the workload I have pre scheduled. I would love to fit your care needs into my schedule and coordination is greatly important when it comes to taking care of these animals! I know each household has specifics to how they like they pet cared for; including the time they eat, how to handle the dog, doing/practicing certain commands when doing tasks, etc. I myself like to stick to a routine with my dog and would most definitely follow your own with the same respect.
“Emma was so great with our dog Gus! She was very professional, took the cutest photos and was super prompt with her responses. We will definitely book her again!”
“Miriah was great. We weren’t home and Miriah texted me when she arrived, during the walk, info about feeding Louie, etc. I felt very confident that our dog was well taken care of.”
“Elise walks my dog twice a week, and it’s been a fantastic experience. She is friendly, reliable, and genuinely loves dogs. My dog took to her right away and looks forward to her visits. I also appreciate the reports, pictures, and consistency—she go above and beyond. Highly recommend to anyone looking for dog walker! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog walker!”
“Mika is great! They are incredibly caring and good with my dog. They have helped tremendously with his loose leash walking while making sure he gets lots of energy out. My dog loves them!”
About: I had dogs growing up and own two myself now. I just love our furry friends! Familiar with lap dogs, work dogs and hunting dogs. I have a great deal of experience with oral, eye and ear medications for dogs as well as being a nurse at a local hospital by trade. I have a flexible schedule that changes week to week, so I can arrange dog services to fit my work schedule before the week begins. I have a tendency to talk to my dogs, and others dogs, like a crazy person... but I promise I am not crazy. I find the level of attention they feel coming from you is amplified when you speak to them, even if they don't understand what you are saying, lol! I have an athletic dogs as well as a lap dog myself and I am therefore used to medium and high energy levels from them. My condo unit is filled with sun and nice and warm in the colder months. Dogs are allowed to roam when I am home and also my furniture is pet-friendly. I play catch and tug of war with one of my dogs and take them on walks daily. I am happy to do all the same things with someone's pet, or more if the particular dog requires.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and friends and family have often relied on me to help walk or care for their dogs when they are out of town! Besides having had a dog of my own, I used to volunteer at both dog and cat rescues. I love making pets happy and helping to give them the best lives possible :) I am a medical school student so I have flexibility in between school and studying for your pet care needs, from daily walks to house sitting! I make sure to consistently keep an eye out for the pet I’m caring for and will offer frequent and honest communication with you to ensure you know your pet is being very well cared for. I will make sure that there’s nothing around within the home that could harm your pet.
