“Lisa was great as always! She made my dog feel comfortable and kept me informed of how she was doing. My dog seemed very happy and I appreciate everything Lisa did! Definitely recommend. 😊”
“Rhonda was great with our dog. We explained all of his "quirks" and she was very understanding. She sent us text updates and pictures. It was a great relief to know that he was well taken care of. We'll definitely book future dates with Rhonda again!”
“We had a great experience with Kellene taking care of our pup. She was very responsive before and during the stay, and sent many updates/photos. Ozzy and coco got along great and it was nice to have a meet and great before to make sure the stay would go well. She treated Ozzy like her own pup and took him for walks, lots of play time and cuddles. We couldn’t ask for anything more!”
“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!”
“Jacquelin and her husband have been a wonderful find and we could not be more grateful for her and her husband’s incredible care for our guy, Teddy. We were gone for 10 days for our spring break and were a little nervous being gone that long. Teddy comes from a one dog household and normally stays at home with a family member or friend; however this trip was too long for an arrangement like that and could not have been more pleased with the care, concern, consistent communication and love given to our sweet guy! We would not hesitate to use them again. Thanks so much 💛”
“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”
“Andrew helped watch my dog, Lucy, during a recent trip I had. He was very flexible and communicative throughout the process with drop off and pickup, and sent great photos throughout the stay to keep me comfortable regarding how Lucy was doing. Would absolutely book with him again.”
“MJ and his wife were so caring towards Stevie while we were away! They cared for him like he was their own, and sent so many thoughtful updates. Stevie was sad to leave at the end of his stay with them. Thank you!!”
“Kim did such a wonderful job caring for my pup, even when he was a bit hard to handle right away. She was communicative and transparent and worked hard to make sure that he was active, comfortable, and well-loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.”
“Yolanda was great Milo had a good time to the point he’s been sleeping at home since we got him back lol! She sent pictures and updates , i felt really good and comfortable dropping Milo off for the week and going on vacation without worrying . I will most definitely be returning when needing a rover !”
“Ann and Arman's family took wonderful care of Luca while I was away on vacation. This was my first time using Rover for dog boarding, so I honestly didn’t know what to expect—but this family truly exceeded my expectations. They are incredibly kind and caring people. Every day I received plenty of photos and updates about Luca, which really helped me relax and not worry while I was away. It meant a lot to know he was in such good hands. Luca came back home happy, and I know he received the best care. It was so nice to see how they welcomed him as if he were part of their own family and made him feel at home while still respecting the rules and routine he’s used to. I would absolutely recommend this family—they are exceptional! Thank you, Ann and Arman. We’ll definitely see you again soon :)”
“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!”
“Becky is the perfect boarder! She is very communicative and makes sure all our questions are answered. Our puppy loved her first stay! Becky sent many pictures and updates with all the fun activities our pup and the other dogs were up to. Her yard is such a dog oasis, so much room to run! She was alao very accommodating to our late night pick up with flight delays”
“Karen welcomed our little Betty with open arms. Betty loves to meet new people and she got to meet quite a few new folks thanks to Karen’s friendly condo building. Karen sent pictures throughout Betty’s stay, which we always appreciate. We are so glad to have found Karen and know that Betty is looking forward to her next visit.”
“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.”
“Lacey watched my dog while I was back home for thanksgiving break - she did an exceptional job and provided plenty of pictures! My dog played a lot with her sisters dog and they ran around a bunch in the yard”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I've spent years caring for dogs for friends, family and neighbors. I know that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their individual routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I offer dependable, compassionate care tailored to your dog’s needs, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, boarding, or simply extra companionship and attention. I believe communication is important, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos throughout your dog’s stay or my visit. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment where they can feel happy and secure. My goal is to give both you and your dog a positive experience and complete peace of mind! Pet care fits into my routine outside of my full-time job. I work Monday through Friday, 9–5, so I’m available for morning and evening drop-in visits during the week, which works well for cat care, feeding, litter box cleaning, and check-ins. For dog walks, boarding, and extended care, I’m fully available on weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive exercise, playtime, and supervision. I’m organized and reliable with scheduling, and I make sure each pet receives consistent, unhurried care during the times I’m available. My goal is to provide dependable service while fitting seamlessly into both my routine and the pet’s needs. In my home and in my clients’ homes, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and clean environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure doors, leashes, and any secure areas are properly managed at all times to prevent escapes or accidents. I also keep a close eye on behavior, appetite, and overall wellbeing so I can quickly notice if anything seems off. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the space and treat it with care, keeping things tidy and following all instructions closely. For boarding or daycare in my home, I provide a cozy, pet-friendly space with supervision, attention and regular breaks for exercise, play, and rest. I provide regular updates with messages and photos so pet parents can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
About: I’m a dog/cat mom who is a little obsessed with animals and can’t wait to meet yours! Open for boarding in my home, walks, check ins, feeding, etc. I currently have a standard poodle and a mini poodle who are the center of my life (let’s face it, the run my life!). They love guests and would be thrilled to meet your dog and cat while you’re away. I have 20+ years of experience with dogs and cats, able to give medications, provide senior care, and daily walks, play time. I’d love to help give your pet their very best life! I work a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate your needs. I’m available weekends and most holidays as well. I’ll do my best to work together to find the best schedule for your pet. My dogs have a lovely home and they kindly let me live there too. 😆. The dogs are allowed free run of the house at all times, though I do have crates for when they want some unbothered time, at their choice. I live in a great neighborhood filled with dogs so we meet a lot of friends on our walks, too.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I've spent years caring for cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I know that every cat has their own unique personality, routines, and preferences, and I take the time to help them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. I offer dependable, compassionate care tailored to your cat’s needs, whether that’s drop-in visits, litter box maintenance, feeding, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply providing companionship and attention. I understand that many cats prefer the comfort of their own space, so I always aim to respect their boundaries while making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during each visit.

“Hope was so amazing with my kitty! She left very detailed notes, giving me complete peace of mind while I was dealing with a loss in the family. Hope was extremely communicative and responsive which was very helpful. She not only made sure my kitty’s basic needs were met, but went above and beyond to play with her, too. Very grateful for a phenomenal sitter like Hope. 😇”
“Carole was amazing and kept our grumpy senior kitty happy and well fed! Our place was also spotless upon our return. Definitely recommend her and her crew to take care of your furry family!”
“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.”
“Jessica was able to come on short notice and even cleaned up my puppies potty accidents on the carpet while helping to potty train. Thanks for watching my still in training puppy and also for taking the time to correct him and clean up after him. I will defiantly be hiring again!”
About: 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.
About: Hello! My name is Elaina, and I have been dog-obsessed since as early as I can remember. I’ve grown up most of my life with large breed dogs in the family, and I currently have my own dog, Casper – a super energetic and loving German Shorthaired Pointer/Labrador mix. I happily welcome all dog breeds and ages! As a teacher, I have my summers available to walk, house visit and/or house sit – I couldn’t imagine a more fulfilling way to spend my summer! Please check my availability to schedule a service for your dog! I am a teacher, so my summers are available to care for your dog! I have June, July and August available for dog walking, house-visits and house-sitting. If you would like boarding services for your dog in my home, please keep in mind that I have a dog, Casper. He is incredibly friendly with all dogs – however, if your dog is not comfortable with other dogs, I would not suggest selecting this service. Otherwise, dog walking, house-visits and house-sitting would be no problem!
“Sophia was such a great sitter for Seymour! She came over prior to her drop ins with Seymour to meet him and and pick up our keys. She was super responsive and continued to send updates on how he was doing. We definitely recommend her!”

“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 grew up with dogs and have had them most of my life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. While I don’t currently live with a dog, I truly value the companionship and connection, and I’m able to offer attentive, one-on-one care in a calm, low-stress environment. I have experience caring for senior dogs and managing medications, and I’m patient, reliable, and in tune with animal behavior and their needs. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so I’m around most of the day to give your dog plenty of attention and companionship. I build in regular breaks for outdoor time and walks, so they stay active and engaged. My home is calm and quiet, creating a peaceful environment for their stay. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with easy elevator access, a large courtyard, and a park right across the street for walks and outdoor time. I can crate your dog if needed, but otherwise they’re free to settle in comfortably and are welcome on the furniture if that’s part of their routine. When I’m in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things familiar and stress-free by following their usual routine closely. I pay attention to their behavior and needs so they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
About: I have lifelong experience with animals, having pets all my life and working various animal care jobs. I worked at a doggy daycare for two years in high school, where I gained hands-on experience managing dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. That role helped me become confident in reading dog behavior, maintaining safe play environments, and providing attentive care throughout the day. Growing up, my family fostered puppies frequently, so I’m comfortable with young dogs and understand the patience, structure, and consistency they need. I’ve also had dogs and cats my entire life and have pet-sat for neighbors and family friends for years, caring for both energetic pets and older animals who need a gentler, more attentive approach. I recently graduated from UW–Madison and moved away from home, and I truly miss being around animals. Pet sitting isn’t just a job for me—it's something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I’m very caring, responsible, and dedicated, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I often work from home, so I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m typically not away from home for more than four to six hours at a time, and I’m intentional about making sure pets get regular care, playtime, and affection. Because of my flexible schedule, I can adapt to your pet’s specific needs—whether that’s extra exercise, medication timing, or just lots of cuddles and company.
“My dog Nala loves going to daycare with Dane. He is very flexible and does a great job taking care of Nala. She also really enjoys hanging out with his dogs and having a yard to hang out in for the day. Would recommend Dane 10/10.”
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!
“Monica was great! She sent me updates and took very good care of my dog :) my dog is a nervous and anxious girl, but I felt comfortable leaving her with Monica! I will be using her regularly!”
“George was so happy when I picked him up! He fell asleep as soon as he got home and now is dreaming about his super long walk with Megan. I can tell that George had a wonderful day and Megan went the extra mile to make him eat his food even though he’s been fuzzy because of medication. I will definitely bring George back next time he needs a sitter.”
About: I had a 12 year old puggle who was my best friend! He was walked every day of his life. Now that he has passed, I am looking to spend time with other furry companions! I am recently retired, so I have lots of time and a very flexible schedule! I love all dogs and am very gentle with all pets. I love downtown and know all kinds of routes for your pets. I am an active person so long or short walks are easy for me to do!
About: Hi! My name is Sam, and I have a huge love for animals — especially dogs. I live on the first floor of a duplex in Riverwest and work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and lots of time to give pets the attention they deserve. I have two cats and a dog of my own, so I’m very used to different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I’m currently available for dog walking, dog day care, and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Pets in my care get plenty of cuddles, playtime, exercise, love, and attention. I treat every animal like they’re one of my own. To make sure every pet gets calm, focused care, I take a limited number of bookings each day. I typically take up to two walks or drop-in visits per day, depending on timing and location. If I’m providing dog day care in my home, I usually don’t schedule additional walks or drop-ins that day so everyone gets the attention they deserve. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I work from home full time during the week. My schedule is overall very flexible and I provide frequent outdoor time and exercise. My yard is fenced in and secure. Pets I watch are treated like royalty and get lots of attention, exercise, and loving! I allow dogs on my furniture and provide a lot of positive reinforcement.
“Ellie is the best! She takes such great care of our 1yr old golden retriever you can really tell she’s such a dog lover. We will continue to use Ellie whenever we need some Rover help.”
About: Hi there! We are lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience and two sweet pit bulls of my own. Our home is shared with my playful and loving 3-year-old boy and my silly, affectionate 1-year-old girl, who both love making new friends. We've spent many years in responsible dog breeding, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, socialization, and individual needs. Whether your pup is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, We are confident and comfortable caring for all personalities, ages, and breeds. With me, your pets will be treated like part of the family — plenty of love, attention, structure, and fun. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive environment where every dog feels at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! --- If you want, I can also tailor it to a specific service (boarding, drop-ins, walks, etc.) or adjust the tone to be more professional, playful, or concise. I offer flexible scheduling for pet boarding thanks to my role with a property management company, which allows me to be home often and adjust my availability as needed. This flexibility helps me give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout their stay. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we kindly require all pets to have their own crate during their stay. Crates provide a secure, familiar space for your dog to rest and relax, especially during downtime or when we briefly step out. Their safety and well-being are always our top priority. Also provide your pet with their favorite food/treats for their stay. We are also able to provide that for an additional fee.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teen. I have always had a deep love for animals, and have experience caring for friends, family, and neighbors pets! I am a therapist who works part-time remotely. I have a flexible schedule and I am home most of the day. I am eager to go on long and adventurous walks. I am a tentative dog watcher who enjoys animal company. I also enjoy long walks to the beach and local parks in the neighborhood. If you have a yard and need care at your home, I’m happy to keep an eye on everything from the comfort of your pets familiar surroundings.
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.
About: I’m a kind and goofy gal that loves dogs with my whole being. I own a beagle named Luna that I love spending time with. Her mom needs to hustle to get more funds for our journeys and all the Trader Joe’s treats. I am constantly the friend that takes care of my friend’s dog and enjoy every moment. I hope you give me the opportunity to spend time with your pet! I’d be happy to expand on my experience and passion. My entire schedule revolves around my dog. I’m thinking about how to move things around for her and always checking if I can bring her with. I enjoy our three walks a day on our remote work from home days. I’m open to taking care of pets at my home or their own as long as you’re okay with mine being with us. I’d be happy to introduce them beforehand. I’m a horrible liar and believe in karma, so I treat everyone and their homes like I would want others to treat mine. Hopefully this isn’t too cheesy lol
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I grew up with 6 other siblings and we always had animals around. I lost our beloved family dog about two years ago and I do not want to commit to raising another one since I like to travel. But on my down time, I am willing to walk your dog, spend time with them, and love them up as much as possible. I just recently got an apartment in Milwaukee to be closer to my family so I am looking for something to do and to help out an owner who may need it. I recently retired so I have a lot of flexibility, and a lot more time to spend at home and to care for your dog. It’s just me and my wife that live in the home and she would be available to help if needed. We live in the country on a one acre lot so your dog would have a big area to roam! I can have a pet stay at my house during the day but unfortunately it’s not allowed in my apartment for overnights. If it’s easier to come to your home, I am willing to do that!

“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!”
“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.”
“Rover asks me how well Sylvia enjoyed her time with Travis. Though I’ve asked her a couple of times, she just won’t elaborate. What I can tell you is that Travis is a good communicator and is prompt. 🙂”
About: I love nurturing all living things from children (although I am not yet a parent to a human), to plants and animals alike! I tend to put all living things before my own needs to prioritize their well-being. In addition, I recently took in a crested gecko and have learned so much about caring for reptiles as well. Everyday before leaving my apartment I make sure that both of my pets have plenty of food and water. In addition, I check to ensure that my plants are out of reach from my cat and that my bioactive terrarium is maintaining humidity. I care for pets by making sure they have food, water, a clean liter box, a moist environment, and get taken out for potty breaks depending on which animal I am caring for. I am willing to care for your pets with the same considerations in mind.
About: I have had dogs my whole childhood, and been around dogs since I could remember. I understand that every pet has unique needs and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I had a miniature dachshund growing up- so bonus points for a weenie! 🌭 I’m currently working part-time this summer so I have a lot of time to care for your pets. My schedule is kinda random as I am in healthcare currently. I either work from 7-1pm or 1-8pm. Fridays I have mornings available until 12pm, and Saturday evenings, free Sundays. I have two Maine Coon cats at my home currently. They are very friendly but a little skiddish. We have a litter robot at our home, and they are very spoiled & loved!
“Jessica took the best care of Max! Her communication was impeccable and you could see the quality in her care she provided for our dog. We could tell Max looked forward to his walks with her. We would highly recommend her care with anyone’s pet!”
About: Hi there! I am a former pet groomer with lifelong experience loving animals of all kinds! I have worked with senior animals, puppies, cats, and combative animals with professionalism and levity for 5+ years. I am super excited to get to know you and your animals. I am currently working summer camp jobs, and therefore have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am very excited to get to spend plenty of time with animals while I navigate a new move to the area! My previous job as a pet grooming assistant as well as babysitting animals in the past has given me a lot of experience in keeping animals safe and comfortable. I work extremely hard to understand animal behavior and body language in order to respect animals boundaries. I also prioritize safety when caring for other people’s animals because that is someone’s baby! It is important to me to do a job well, and that includes maintaining safety and care for all animals.
“Katie was fantastic! She walked our dog Lola on short notice and was incredibly accommodating. She was punctual, kept great communication throughout, and you could tell she was genuinely excited to spend time with our dog. Highly recommend Katie and will definitely be booking with her again!”

I offer dependable, compassionate care tailored to your dog’s needs, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, boarding, or simply extra companionship and attention. I believe communication is important, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos throughout your dog’s stay or my visit. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment where they can feel happy and secure. My goal is to give both you and your dog a positive experience and complete peace of mind! Pet care fits into my routine outside of my full-time job. I work Monday through Friday, 9–5, so I’m available for morning and evening drop-in visits during the week, which works well for cat care, feeding, litter box cleaning, and check-ins. For dog walks, boarding, and extended care, I’m fully available on weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive exercise, playtime, and supervision. I’m organized and reliable with scheduling, and I make sure each pet receives consistent, unhurried care during the times I’m available. My goal is to provide dependable service while fitting seamlessly into both my routine and the pet’s needs. In my home and in my clients’ homes, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and clean environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure doors, leashes, and any secure areas are properly managed at all times to prevent escapes or accidents. I also keep a close eye on behavior, appetite, and overall wellbeing so I can quickly notice if anything seems off. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the space and treat it with care, keeping things tidy and following all instructions closely. For boarding or daycare in my home, I provide a cozy, pet-friendly space with supervision, attention and regular breaks for exercise, play, and rest. I provide regular updates with messages and photos so pet parents can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
“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!”
“Sheila was wonderful!! Always on time and so sweet with our little dog. She kept me up to date and sent pictures everyday. She made our time away stress free. I look forward to working with her again!”

I live right by a nice big park with a walking trail, so I can take your pup on a nice nature walk or just have a play in the park
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and stay with their pets while they’re away. I especially enjoy longer stays because it gives dogs time to feel comfortable and settled, and I love being able to build that trust with them. One of my favorite parts is taking dogs on enriching walks, keeping them active, engaged, and happy, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to keep up with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship, especially during longer stays when consistency and routine are important. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by sticking closely to their normal routine and giving them lots of attention and care. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of clients’ homes, and committed to providing reliable communication and updates throughout each stay.
“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!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Emily on Rover. Finding someone that I could trust and rely on was really important and that is what I have found. She walks my dog, Tito, multiple times every week. It makes my day when I get the notification that she has completed a walk with Tito because I can see how happy he is in the pictures that she takes. I have nothing but good things to say about Emily and am so grateful for the quality time that she has spent with my best friend. Thank you Emily! Highly recommend using her services on Rover.”
About: Your dog will be treated like family! My name is Melanie Hobbs and I would love to get to know your pets. I grew up with multiple dogs and cats and I've never been without them in my life. We have rescued all of our pets from shelters and I have loved their unique personalities, although sometimes challenging! Maebelle is skittish and crazy affectionate while Nina can be a bit of a bully and a sweetheart at the same time. They have brought a lot of joy to my house. I love big dogs, small dogs, mutts, and purebreds. If you interviewed my pets, they would tell you, "Melanie? Oh yeah, she's the best!" You can be assured your dogs will be in good hands with me.

“Lisa was great as always! She made my dog feel comfortable and kept me informed of how she was doing. My dog seemed very happy and I appreciate everything Lisa did! Definitely recommend. 😊”
“Sarah and her family provided constant updates of my dog throughout the week. Her daughters seemed really engaged and loving on my dog, making me feel confident she was receiving all the love and affection she gets at home. When I picked her up, my dog seemed so relaxed, almost as if she hadn’t been gone all that time, helping me feel confident she was safe and loved on. Usually after boarding in a facility, my dog is highly anxious, extra agitated and disheveled. None of that here with Sarah. Her and her family were truly the best sitters. I never worried once while away.”
“We had a great experience with Kellene taking care of our pup. She was very responsive before and during the stay, and sent many updates/photos. Ozzy and coco got along great and it was nice to have a meet and great before to make sure the stay would go well. She treated Ozzy like her own pup and took him for walks, lots of play time and cuddles. We couldn’t ask for anything more!”
“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!”
“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 very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”
“Andrew helped watch my dog, Lucy, during a recent trip I had. He was very flexible and communicative throughout the process with drop off and pickup, and sent great photos throughout the stay to keep me comfortable regarding how Lucy was doing. Would absolutely book with him again.”
“MJ and his wife were so caring towards Stevie while we were away! They cared for him like he was their own, and sent so many thoughtful updates. Stevie was sad to leave at the end of his stay with them. Thank you!!”
“Kim did such a wonderful job caring for my pup, even when he was a bit hard to handle right away. She was communicative and transparent and worked hard to make sure that he was active, comfortable, and well-loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.”
“Elizabeth is so friendly I immediately knew Spike was in good hands. Even better, her two boys are full of joy and were ready to pet and snuggle with my pup. When I came to pick Spike up, he looked ready to stay with his new friends!”
“Yolanda was great Milo had a good time to the point he’s been sleeping at home since we got him back lol! She sent pictures and updates , i felt really good and comfortable dropping Milo off for the week and going on vacation without worrying . I will most definitely be returning when needing a rover !”
“Ann and Arman's family took wonderful care of Luca while I was away on vacation. This was my first time using Rover for dog boarding, so I honestly didn’t know what to expect—but this family truly exceeded my expectations. They are incredibly kind and caring people. Every day I received plenty of photos and updates about Luca, which really helped me relax and not worry while I was away. It meant a lot to know he was in such good hands. Luca came back home happy, and I know he received the best care. It was so nice to see how they welcomed him as if he were part of their own family and made him feel at home while still respecting the rules and routine he’s used to. I would absolutely recommend this family—they are exceptional! Thank you, Ann and Arman. We’ll definitely see you again soon :)”
“Becky is the perfect boarder! She is very communicative and makes sure all our questions are answered. Our puppy loved her first stay! Becky sent many pictures and updates with all the fun activities our pup and the other dogs were up to. Her yard is such a dog oasis, so much room to run! She was alao very accommodating to our late night pick up with flight delays”
“Amazing. Communicated daily and sent lots of pictures. She made adjustments to help my dog eat while being in a new environment. Will definitely be rebooking.”
“Sara was both completely professional and warm/kind with Kiara. She was ready to set up a meet & greet when it worked for us. She was also patient when our schedule changed a bit for drop off and pick up, and let us shift the times a bit. Most importantly, Kiara had a great time with plenty of walks and trips to the dog part with her new dog friend Josie.”
“Lacey watched my dog while I was back home for thanksgiving break - she did an exceptional job and provided plenty of pictures! My dog played a lot with her sisters dog and they ran around a bunch in the yard”
“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.”
About: I’m a kind and goofy gal that loves dogs with my whole being. I own a beagle named Luna that I love spending time with. Her mom needs to hustle to get more funds for our journeys and all the Trader Joe’s treats. I am constantly the friend that takes care of my friend’s dog and enjoy every moment. I hope you give me the opportunity to spend time with your pet! I’d be happy to expand on my experience and passion. My entire schedule revolves around my dog. I’m thinking about how to move things around for her and always checking if I can bring her with. I enjoy our three walks a day on our remote work from home days. I’m open to taking care of pets at my home or their own as long as you’re okay with mine being with us. I’d be happy to introduce them beforehand. I’m a horrible liar and believe in karma, so I treat everyone and their homes like I would want others to treat mine. Hopefully this isn’t too cheesy lol
About: I’m a dog/cat mom who is a little obsessed with animals and can’t wait to meet yours! Open for boarding in my home, walks, check ins, feeding, etc. I currently have a standard poodle and a mini poodle who are the center of my life (let’s face it, the run my life!). They love guests and would be thrilled to meet your dog and cat while you’re away. I have 20+ years of experience with dogs and cats, able to give medications, provide senior care, and daily walks, play time. I’d love to help give your pet their very best life! I work a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate your needs. I’m available weekends and most holidays as well. I’ll do my best to work together to find the best schedule for your pet. My dogs have a lovely home and they kindly let me live there too. 😆. The dogs are allowed free run of the house at all times, though I do have crates for when they want some unbothered time, at their choice. I live in a great neighborhood filled with dogs so we meet a lot of friends on our walks, too.
