About: I'm a bit newer to cat care as my experience prior to the last few years was only barn cats. That being said, I've definitely grown to love caring for them. I currently care for my neighbors very sassy cat Tang when his owners go on vacation. I also have cared for ferrets and guinea pigs in the past so, as long as I have your instructions and tips I can provide all the love and care your pet needs.

About: Cats have been my companion all my life.. a home is not a home without the pitter patter of little paws. Currently, my fur baby Millie is my only pet but have experience with dog and cat households. I know their needs and can establish a bond with cats easily. And I also know when they need space and just someone to be company without adding to their stress.
About: Hi! I would be an amazing pet sitter because I love animals. Ever since I was little I have had pets whether dogs, cats, ducks or turtles. I am currently in college and away from my dog Nalla so taking care of your pet would honestly be special for me too. One of the main reasons I am on rover is because I love to walk and hike and figured why not add a companion. Hi! I am currently on break from work and school so I can make anything work! I am available everyday of the week at any hours necessary! I sadly cannot have any pets in my home because I live in an apartment but I can take that out for walks in areas near me! I also am used to taking care of a dog when I am home so can do whatever the owner needs!
“Emily is great to work with, she was prompt to respond and set up a meet and greet. And Theo took to her right away! I came back home to a much cleaner house and a well cared for cat. Would definitely recommend working with her!”
About: I have grown up with Golden Retrievers my whole life as my dad hunted with them and trained them for Field trials. We always had three in our home. Once we even had a litter of puppies and there is nothing better than puppy kisses. I personally have had two Black labs, one that was so content to lounge and be a couch potato and my current lab at 8 years old fools everyone into thinking she is 2 or 3 with how active she is. Because of her I understand the importance of walks and her needing lots of exercise, new sights and smells. I have a flexible work schedule and typically only work 3 days a week so I can be there to ensure your pup gets what they need. Happy to play in the yard or walk as needed to make sure your pup is content. Just let me know what their rules are and I'm happy to follow to ensure they are happy and healthy.
“Jeremy was great! He obviously enjoys taking care of animals and he went the extra mile for us to get an extra feeding visit in. We will happily use him again!”
“Michelle was really attentive to our cat and responsive to us. From the booking process to the exchange of keys. She fed him and played with him while also sending plenty of pictures. Would 100% book her again if we needed some help!”
About: While I have more experience with dogs than cats I have owned my own cats and watched my friends cats before. I know just how much our fur babies mean to us and would be more than happy to make sure yours is safe while you're away!

“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!!”
“Small had an amazing few days with Madison, Joseph and Knox! Went on walks and adventures, and was so well cared for. Came home exhausted every evening from a full day of playing with his new friends. Thank you!”
“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: As a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience, I'm dedicated to providing personalized attention and affection to every pet I care for. Whether it's energetic playtime, peaceful walks, or cuddles on the couch, I adapt to meet each pet's unique needs. I understand the importance of routine and communication, ensuring your furry friend feels safe and loved while you're away. Trust me to care for you pet like they're my own! I currently work full-time as a pet sitter so I am completely available for your pets' care! My dog, Phil, is a senior Maltese mix and gets along great with any kind of animal. If your dog does not socialize well with others, please let me know. I have several sitters I can call at a moment's notice to watch Phil. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I follow your instructions closely to maintain their routine and ensure they feel secure in their environment. I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. Building trust with both you and your pet is my top priority, and I'm committed to creating a stress-free experience for everyone involved.
“Monique was so considerate of my needs and my boy’s! She saved me so much hassle by taking Manny on such short notice and sent me updates throughout the day. She’s amazing!”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“Lotte gets along great with Katrina’s dogs and Katrina is wonderful with her and communicates regularly to let us know how who she is doing. We’re thankful to find someone who can watch her regularly.”
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.
“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.”
“My partner and I wanted to spend a couple of hours on my birthday at some places that don't allow pups - after quick and easy communication with Michelle, we booked daycare with her. Our pup is very social with dogs and people but is always super cautious at first. When we dropped Navi off, she was a bit skittish and didn't really want to go in the house. This left us feeling a bit worried. However, Michelle immediately sent us an update with pictures after we drove away showing Navi explore the house and the backyard. Throughout the day I received so many pictures and videos of Navi playing in the pool and with other pups. It genuinely was the best birthday present I could have asked for. It made us so happy to receive so many updates showing Navi living her best life with her new friends. It was clear Michelle loves doing what she does and cares for every pup like they are her own. If we are ever in the Milwaukee area again, we would love to have you watch after our girl again! Thank you again, Michelle!”
“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.”
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.
“Service is always fantastic! They post on social media daily to let you see your pups! We love dropping Mabel off knowing she is in good care! Heated warehouse for playing and plenty of toys! There is also a rest period which is amazing. Mabel is always so tired when she comes home. They offer pet grooming services!!!”

About: I’ve had dogs as part of the family my entire life. I was the trainer of of all our puppies while I was growing up. Now I have two dogs, one with special needs and the other that needs extensive training with reactivity. I can manage medications, reactive walkers, as well as give as many belly rubs and head scritches as needed! I have cared for dogs from puppy to senior. I currently have a remote job that has a lot of flexibility. My schedule does vary and is rather accommodating. I will have my calendar updated accordingly for availability. At this time I will only be providing services at your home since I do have a reactive pup at mine. Also due to that, I will be only providing drop ins and walks.
“Krystal has done a fantastic job taking our high-energy dog on walks. She’s prompt and shares details about how things went afterwards. She’s also been great about following any specific instructions or requests. I feel very confident leaving our dog in her care and highly recommend her.”
“I really appreciated Elizabeth's willingness to do a meet and greet before the first walk. She was super patient and understanding with my anxious pup. Would recommend!”
“Jessica is great! On time every day and very communicative with any changes. She was understanding of any modifications we needed to make with days or times and our Mona looked forward to seeing her!”
“Kathy had a very fast turnaround with a previous day booking. She was very understanding and got along with our pups very well. They seem like they had a wonderful walk. Definitely will request her again!”
About: I am an Elementary teacher during the school year. I truly love all dogs and I am excited to get to spend the summer meeting new dogs! Confident and comfortable with all types and sizes. During the summer my availability is pretty much wide open on weekdays. As far as weekends, I can be flexible if given notice ahead of time. I treat all animals with love and gentleness. I am able to take frequent walks and give a lot of 1 on 1 attention to your pup.
“Riley was wonderful with Rocky! It was great to receive pictures from their walks each day. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable walker :)”
“Michelle was a lifesaver for a last minute booking. Great correspondence, timely arrival and excellent skills with my dog. Will definitely book again. Thank you!”
“Monsserath does great with my shy and anxious dog. She is very patient and understanding and has so much love to give my pup. She is super reliable and I can tell looks forward to seeing my pup every week! I am so lucky to have connected with her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

About: Dogs are my kind of people, loyal, silly, soulful, and always ready for a good walk or cuddle. I bring genuine enthusiasm to every visit, whether it’s tossing a tennis ball for the fifth time or patiently encouraging a shy pup to come out of their shell. Because I truly love dogs, I pay close attention to their routines, moods, and energy levels. Whether it’s a rambunctious retriever or a slow-strolling senior, I adapt my care to what makes them happiest and healthiest. Your dog isn’t just a client they become part of my daily joy. Pet care blends seamlessly into my daily rhythm, acting as gentle checkpoints that anchor my routine. Feeding, cleaning, and playtime create consistency, while weekly tasks like grooming or toy rotation keep things fresh. These moments build a quiet connection between me and my pet and often serve as welcome pauses in a busy day. For happy, healthy pets at home, stick to consistent routines, clean litter boxes and feeding schedules for cats, daily walks and playtime for dogs. Offer cozy spaces, rotate toys, and check their health regularly. A bit of structure and love goes a long way for any furry friend.
About: Growing up, my family and I owned and trained 5 German Shepherds with such different personalities. As an adult, I’ve cared after and trained dogs as small as miniature poodles to large rescue mutts. I have a lot of patience and experience in animals of all training levels, and I love going on long walks. I have a flexible work schedule where I can work from home multiple days out of the week (besides Weds) which allows me to have plenty of time for your fur baby! I am available for long weekend boarding, and always available for drop-in care visits and walks :) I have a spacious apartment and a fenced in dog park located at my residence. I am also within a 10 min walk from two parks! If boarding, I have plenty of space for crating.
“Melainie is so great with our chihuahua mix, Bowser. Bowser is a great judge of character and is very selective with who he will allow to rub his belly and he loved Melainie the second he met her!”
“I have been using these 2 for a couple of weeks with both Wag and now Rover. They have been great to my girl. They are helping her get the energy out in a safe way and even working on her focus in public. Much appreciated ?”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life, I adore them and I'm always excited when I have the opportunity to meet and care for a new fury friend. I have 1 amazing, clean and well-behaved dog-baby. She’s sweet and high energy but doesn’t have playmates so this platform allows me to help out other doggy-parents and gives my dog an opportunity to meet new furry-friends. When your pup is in my care you can trust that they'll be treated with the utmost love, care and respect. My home is always clean and there is a dog park nearby. I respond quickly to requests and provide you with as many or little updates as you'd like while your dog is in my care. If there is a particular schedule/regimen your dog follows, please let me know and I'm happy to accommodate that. I welcome last minute requests and will do my best to help if I can. I work full-time from the comfort of my home so I have the flexibility to keep watch over your dog and tend to their needs. My home is always clean and sanitized. I have a dog who has updated shots and in excellent health. When your dog is with me, I take extra care to make sure they are safe. I follow all instructions given by you regarding food, walks etc. and if checking into your home, your privacy will be respected and your home will be secured when entering and exiting the property. I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide attentive care for your pup, including walks, playtime, and meeting any special needs they may have. Your pet’s comfort and happiness will always be my priority. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and love. In your home, I ensure pets feel at ease, follow their routine, and maintain a secure and nurturing atmosphere.
