“I now know why Yolanda has such great reviews! When I went to pick up my Zoe girl 🐾 I could tell that she had a great time with the family. Yolanda sent pictures and updates of my doggie and I really appreciated it! I 100% recommend her for dog sitting needs! Thank you, Yolanda!!!!”
“Everything was great and happy they took good care of Nia! I appreciated receiving daily photos/videos. Will definitely use them in the future.”
“Absolutely a wonderful visit with Michael for my little dog, Rosie. So much attention and care was given to her. Photos and updates were provided daily. Most importantly, Rosie was given affection and gentle kind care. I can definitely recommend Michael for wonderful pet care.”
“I really appreciated how accommodating & patient Monique was with my BabyDog Fèndi! She sent me some nice pictures about an hour after drop off which made me feel better as I was wondering how she was interacting with the bigger dogs since she’s a small one. Also, throughout her stay she was sending me pics. My flight back came in late, but Monique stayed up to wait for my arrival and I felt that was going above & beyond! Will definitely be using her services again and I highly recommend 10/10✨”
“We were so nervous to leave our 5 month old puppy Harper for the first time over a long weekend, but Cindy made it very easy. We felt she was in good hands with Cindy and had so much fun with the other dogs. When Harper came home after the weekend with Cindy, she was tired out and a happy girl. We will absolutely be booking with Cindy again!”
“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.”
“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 🐾”
“Sherry was wonderful with Nukka! She provided updates regularly, gave Nukka lots of love and walks. When a slight health issue arose, Sherry immediately notified me so I was aware of what she was seeing. I was able to get Nukka into the vet the following day for treatment! Thanks for taking such good care of our girl!!”
“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.”
“Doreen is the bomb.com, she is a loving caring appreciative warm hearted thankful lady, ♥️, she is the best that I've had watching over my pet dog Peepee, she deserves a 10 out of 10, I recommend her, she sends the cutest pictures also, I will ask for her again & again, thanks Doreen”
“Scott and Ashley were fantastic. Their back yard was perfect for Piper to run around in and they took fantastic care of her. They were extremely communicative as well. I look forward to Piper staying at their house again!”
“I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Ashley and her family. Penelope has stayed with Ashley before, and it is so clear how much they genuinely adore her — and the feeling is absolutely mutual! Ashley is incredible about sending me photos and little updates throughout the day, so I always know how Penelope is doing and what kind of fun she is getting into. There is such a difference between knowing your pet is being well cared for and knowing she is being genuinely loved while you’re away, and with Ashley, I never have to worry for a second. Her entire family is so incredibly sweet to Penelope, and she is clearly completely comfortable and happy in their home. When I picked her up today, she genuinely seemed like she would have preferred to stay with them rather than come home with me — which I suppose is the highest praise a pet sitter can receive 😂 Ashley has become someone I completely trust with Penelope, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We will absolutely be back!”
“Maddie loved her time at Angela’s house. She came home tired out for sure. Angela is super responsive and set several pictures keeping us updated. Will certainly rebook with her!”
“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!”
“Elizabeth and her family took really good care of my boy soap. They sent pics every day and updated text messages. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the care that they showed my fur baby and he had the time of his life also. I think he didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Thank Elizabeth and family for taking such good care of my boy soap.”
“Kim (and her husband Tom) are the best sitters. Kim is very responsive, communicative, and truly seems to enjoy all of her dog visitors. She has a fenced-in yard, and pets of her own that just go with the flow. Don't like her too much though because I want her to be available for ME! Ha!”
“Working with Julia and Colin was our first Rover experience and we could not be happier with how it went! Julia is extremely communicative and made the process easy. Our dog took to them very quickly and we could tell she was made comfortable in their home. We look forward to booking with them again!”
“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.”
“Amanda was amazing and accommodating with drop off and pickup. She took the time to really get to know all the details with Rusty and his habbits. She gave updates and pictures. Rusty had a great time and was a sad to leave. 13/10 recommend.”

“We highly recommend Cindy for all of your fur babies ! She communicated awesomely! Sent pictures of our pets and sent them while we were gone. 100% recommended!!”
“Anya was absolutely wonderful and my cat loved her! She was so communicative and provided delightful updates every day including some really good pictures of my Toco who is usually really hard to get good pictures of! 10/10 would definitely have her back as a catsitter any time I need one.”
“Jessica was great to work with!! Super friendly and very responsive, and my kitties loved her : ) I highly recommend her and will be hiring her again in the future.”
“Jen took great care of our cats. She is so sweet and spent quality time with our pets. Her notes were very detailed and we loved the pictures she shared with us. We will definitely book Jen again!”
“Maddalena is very reliable and takes exceptional care of our two kitties! We appreciate knowing our cats are well cared for while we are away. Can’t say enough good things about her! Thank you Maddalena!”
“Courtney is absolutely amazing! Wish I could provide more than five stars! Professional, kind, responsible, respectful, and loving with our boys. Wonderful communication, updates, and pictures. The whole experience was top notch and we appreciate how much she cared about our boys and respected our home. Highly, highly recommend. Thank you Courtney!!”
About: Hi! I’m Montse - mom of kitties Chamoy and Luka. I’ve had these cats for five years and was always a dog person until I had my own feline friends. My orange cat is exactly as you’d expect… rambunctious and incredibly cuddly. Luka the black cat however, is very stand-offish and loves her space. All that to say, I know that cats come with different personalities and I’d love to care for yours however is needed!
“This is the first of three bookings with Aidan and Dani and I was really happy, my cat Gerard was friendly to them, perhaps he recognized caring souls. He was well fed and every day we stayed in touch to report about the visits. Definitely recommend them for in visit situations. My cat does not like going elsewhere so having Dani and Aidan coming to my house was a plus.”
“Cathy is OUTSTANDING! She always sent photos of our cats and gave us detailed updates about our pets and our home while we were away. We are extremely happy with her service and I'm sure we'll hire her again in the future.”
About: I’ve always had pets in my life from little fish to big dogs! I think pets are family, so my love for animals runs deep, and I’d love to spend time with your pet 😊 I have experience with large (100lb+) and small dogs as well as cats. I also have a rescue dog of my very own, so I have experience with pets that need some extra time to warm up. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I am happy to do whatever I can to make your pet feel safe and comfortable 🥰 I work part time, so I’m available for walks and drop-in visits 8am to 7pm most Fridays and Sundays. You may see additional availability pop up when I have extra time though! Great pet care is the way that YOU care for your pet! I’m happy to accommodate whatever you typically do to make your pet happy in your home or on their walks even if it’s abnormal - keeping a consistent routine helps keep your pet happy. Before any services, I do want to meet you and your pet to ensure that we’re a good fit and that I understand your specific care expectations.
“Jenni did a great job with Copper! She even brought her own dog over for a playdate, which Copper loved. We really appreciated getting pics/videos. We would absolutely book again with Jenni!”
“Tegra is super sweet and I immediately felt comfortable into our home and trusting her with our little rascal Kitty cat. Assuming she accepts I'll happily use her services again!”
About: I grew up with cats in my family since I was 7, and have had cats with many different personalities. I am happy to administer medicine, snuggle, be patient with the shy, sassy, and timid cats, and can clean litter boxes. Love them all!

“Yolanda and her family have been so great to work with so far! Yolanda is very responsive, flexible, & respectful of your pet’s needs/requests/concerns. I will be utilizing her services again 🙂”
“Michael and his wife were very kind to champ. They are true dog lovers. Very responsive to our requests. We returned later than we thought we due to traffic and Michael was were very understanding and gracious about it. Thank you!”
“star had a great stay! communication was excellent, and i felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. i especially appreciated how understanding they were when i reached out after her stay to share some new information about her recent hip dysplasia diagnosis. they genuinely cared about her well being, and i wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. thank you for taking such great care of my girl! 🫶”
“Maria provided an early update, as this was Winston’s first time visit with her. A fenced in yard and observing the dogs playing together was noted by me. She asked questions regarding Winston’s care. Communication was good as far as what happened during his day (feeding, etc) and Winston’s came home happy and tired.”
“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: 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.
“I have an almost two week stay booked for my old man puggle. I wanted to do some day visits so he could get used to the changes. She said he did so well and adjusted easily. I am feeling so much more at ease about the stay!! I am so grateful that there are people like her out there.”
“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!”
“Our 1-year old chocolate lab Charlie LOVED hanging at Auria’s home! She sent me a pic during the day (so nice ??) & when I picked him up he was in the happiest mood! Will definitely use her again!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic and put our anxious pup at ease. Dobby thrived with her and Enoch and came home happy and well cared for. We would happily have him stay with her again and would recommend her to others.”
“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!”
About: Updated 08/03/26: 🐾 🚧 Exciting Update! We're putting the finishing touches on our large, fully fenced yard! The project is expected to be completed by the end of August 2026, giving our Adventure Day and boarding guests even more room to explore, play, and enjoy the outdoors safely. Amelie runs WeFriends K9 full-time, providing professional pet care, behavior-focused training, and rehabilitation services. Her greatest success story is her own rescue dog, who was saved just before being euthanized because of behavioral issues. Through patience, structure, training, and trust, he has transformed into a confident, balanced companion. His journey continues to inspire Amelie's passion for helping dogs reach their full potential. Amelie and her husband, Stephen, have been providing pet care through Rover since 2022, while also working with clients independently. Together, we have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities, including many rescue animals. We truly believe that every animal deserves the same balance, happiness, love, joy, and harmony in life that we all strive for. That philosophy is at the heart of everything we do, whether it's an adventure day, pack walk, daycare, boarding, house sitting at your home, training, or simply spending quality time with each pet in our care. We are loving vegetarians. Amelie previously worked at the Wisconsin Humane Society as an animal care technician and has participated in and volunteered with several international animal rescue organizations. She has experience working with many different types of dogs, cats, and other animals. As Stephen is at school for teaching on the weekdays. Most of the time Amelie will be the one who leads the services. Both sometimes work together and sometimes will be only one person shows up for the services. It is always good to support one another. ❤️❤️ Our Services include; - Adventure Day/ PACK WALK/ Individual Walk - DAYCARE but not a typical daycare! - Boarding (sleep over) at our place - Drop-In for a short period of time at your place - House Sitting (Overnight stay) at your place - Gentle Touch Massage to release stress and tension - Dog Rehabilitation/ Training Since we offer a variety of services, we kindly ask that you read the description for each service carefully before booking. Each service is designed to meet different needs, and the details will help you choose the best fit for you and your dog. 🐾 Adventure Day / Pack Walk — 2–3 Hours | $55 This service isn’t currently listed as an option on R o v e r, but we do! Feel free to message us directly if you’re interested to join the pack or would like more information. Each outing includes: - A few pack walks during the time together - Socialization and decompression time - 2 to 3 hours total including travel and transitions We rotate locations (parks, pet-friendly cafe/store etc.) to provide mental enrichment and new experiences. 🐾 Individual Walk (listed on R o v e r) $30 per 30 mins: We can provide a one-on-one walk or include your dog in a pack walk, depending on time, your preference and what's best for your dog. 🏡 Daycare $75 per day (6-8 hours) Not your typical daycare! Think of it as a fun day with a purpose—an extended version of our Adventure Day that combines exercise, enrichment, socialization, and training. Our Daycare includes pack walks, structured rest time, enrichment activities, basic training, and supervised social play. After their Adventure Excursion/Pack Walk, dogs spend the afternoon with us enjoying a calm, relaxing environment where they can rest, settle, and continue practicing appropriate behaviors. This balanced routine helps dogs learn not only how to have fun, but also how to switch off and relax after physical and mental activity. This service includes both pick-up and drop-off if you're located along our Adventure Day route. Pick-up and drop-off times may vary depending on the day's schedule, travel route, and the other dogs joining the pack. 🌙 Boarding at Our Home $90 per night ($50 per night for an additional dog) Your dog becomes part of our structured&well-designed home pack. Includes: - Daily pack walks & outings - Calm rest and downtime - Socialization & Enrichment - Structured feeding & routine - Supervised home environment We balance exercise, mental stimulation, and rest based on each dog’s needs. At this time, we prefer boarding dogs who are already part of our Adventure Day, Pack Walk, or Daycare program. This gives us the opportunity to get to know each dog, understand their personality, routine, and individual needs before they stay overnight in our home. If you're interested in boarding with us, we encourage your dog to join an Adventure Day, Pack Walk, or Daycare session before your trip. This helps make the overnight stay much more comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. Our preference is for dogs that are crate trained. However, we're happy to discuss your dog's individual needs during the Meet & Greet. For example, if your dog is reliable sleeping on their own bed in a designated area throughout the night, we're absolutely open to that as well. Our goal is to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every dog staying with us. 🐾💕 **Adventure Days / Pack Walks are typically held on **Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays** and last about 2-3 hours (occasionally on Mondays or Fridays as well). Please note if we're staying overnight in your home (House Sitting), we'll be away for approximately **4–6 hours** during the day while leading our Adventure Day pack. If your dog is friendly and enjoys being around other dogs, they're welcome to join the Adventure Day with no extra charge! It's a great opportunity for structured exercise, socialization, confidence building, and learning alongside a balanced pack. For **House sitting at your home**, we do our best to adapt our schedule to your pet's normal routine. We'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, bedtime, and any special care your pet may need, so they can stay comfortable in their own home. We have a background in dog psychology and training, which helps us understand canine communication, structure routines, and support each dog’s emotional and physical well-being. Our goal is to provide a safe, structured, fun and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and understood. Many pet parents also notice positive changes in their dog’s behavior at home We normally approach animals with calm energy to make them feel safe, secure, relaxed and not feeling too excited, especially the first impression when it comes to Meet & Greet. It is a warm up ritual to build trust and respect, and to get to know and bound with them. ** Fear Free Certified Professional **
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.
About: I have always had a dog in my life and mostly care for my parent’s dogs however live in Wauwatosa in an apartment with no pets in a very walkable area (I go for 2 walks a day). My family currently has 2 dogs- a 9 year old Atlas Mountain dog named Mila adopted from Tunisia; she is obviously emotionally scarred and usually takes a bit to warm up to people- so I understand the dogs who need some space at first but I know to love & care for each and every dog the same. My family's other dog, Mavis, is a 6 year old high energy border collie! I have experience with visiting and caring for people in the area's pets and also having them stay with me at my apartment to go for plenty of walks and visit many parks near me. I miss living with animals so much, so I happily take in pets to have the company. I will make sure your pet is loved and cared for fully at all times! I am currently working as a therapist doing clinical mental health counseling through a private practice so I am pretty flexible to work around your needs and schedule! Open to price adjustments to what fairly fits your situation best. I am very attentive to their needs and diligent to make sure they are fed, exercised, and cared for - will go above and beyond to care for others above all.
About: Just moved back in with my two retired parents. We have a big unfenced yard with a 50ft dog run going from the front porch to a tree. Growing up we’ve always had dogs and I have my own dog in adulthood for 9 years now. But, who can ever get enough dog time in their life, am I right?! I would love the opportunity to walk more dogs either by them selves or with my dog Maggie whom loves meeting new dogs herself and is very friendly. We would also love to dog sit or board, if dog sitting I could bring my dog Maggie along or leave her with my parents if that’s the preference. Having raised a puppy before I am very very patient with dogs and have lots of love for all breeds and temperaments! I am super accomodating to you and your dogs needs so let me know if you have any questions or preferences, I look forforward to meeting all the cute doggos! I work as a server, mostly at night and some Saturday mornings. I also have Thursday and Sundays off. I am available for all services from 6am to 2pm any day and boarding or doggy day care Thursdays and Sundays. I moved back in with my 2 retired parents I plan on being home if I am dog sitting or boarding but if I had to run out for any reason one of us is always home and your fur children would never be left alone.
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: Hi! I’m Bella, a professional dog trainer with over 7 years of hands-on experience working in advanced obedience, behavior modification, service dog foundations, and sport dog training. I’ve helped dogs and their families work through leash reactivity, anxiety, aggression, impulse control, and high-drive challenges—and I bring that same knowledge into every boarding, daycare, or drop-in service I offer. 🐾 What makes my care different? I provide structure, clear communication, enrichment, and individualized attention—not just cuddles and playtime. Whether your dog is working on manners or needs a calm, consistent place to stay, I’ve got you covered. 📍 Based in New Berlin 🏡 Calm home with safe setup (crate-trained dogs welcome!) ✅ Experience with large breeds, working dogs, and nervous pups 🦴 Optional training add-ons available during daycare or boarding Let me know your dog’s needs—I’m happy to customize care to give you peace of mind and your dog the routine they thrive in. (Website with training info available upon request.) Pet care is a central part of my daily life. I’m home during the day and structure my routine around walks, training sessions, feeding, and enrichment. Whether it’s daycare or boarding, dogs are integrated into a calm and structured environment throughout the day. I provide a peaceful, secure home environment with crate space available (if needed), structured downtime, and consistent routines. Dogs are supervised, enriched, and treated with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I’ve worked with everything from young puppies to high-drive working dogs to those needing a little extra patience or support.
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for cats and have experience with both puppies and adult dogs. I previously owned a Border Collie, giving me firsthand knowledge of the exercise, attention, and training that active breeds need. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I provide a safe, clean, and caring environment where pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I understand that every pet has unique routines and needs, and I always follow owners’ instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and at home. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I’m home for most of the day. Dogs will receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. If I need to leave the house, it’s usually for no more than about three hours, and there is typically someone else at home to supervise and make sure your dog is safe and comfortable. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel relaxed and at home during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a spacious home with plenty of room for dogs to relax and play indoors. There is also a large front and back yard for exercise and fresh air. While the yard is not fenced, dogs will always be kept on a leash or under close supervision when outside. I carefully follow each owner’s care instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications if needed, and any special requirements, to help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home.

“Maddalena is so helpful and flexible! I appreciate her thinking ahead- she saw it would be raining so she took our dog on a quick walk and then played with her inside. Dallie still got some energy out, and we couldn't be happier. :)”
“Dave was FANTASTIC. Our normal rover walker was unavailable & we needed one on short notice. Dave came through for our little 6 month puppy & was amazing. It was a rainy horrible day & he still took our girl out for a walk & then played with her inside to make sure she was truly tired out. He even towel dried her ?He followed all the house directions & I was worry free the entire time he was with our baby girl.”
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 am a true animal lover at heart! My family always owned dogs growing up, I adopted my own, Bear, in 2017 and my cat Luna (aka Tuna) in 2021. After recently losing Bear unexpectedly, I’m hoping to help heal my heart and get some puppy love by offering walks and drop-in visits to your babies! Prior to adopting Luna, I offered in-home boarding for many years through Rover. Unfortunately she’s not a fan of having other dogs around, otherwise we’d still be offering that service. I also worked at a doggy daycare during college because I loved dogs so much, and I wanted to spend time with them even though I couldn't get one at the time. This obviously provided me with lots of experience in handling multiple dogs! I promise to love your furbaby like my own and provide lots of pictures and updates :) I work remotely on Monday/Thursday/Friday so I’m available for drop-ins or walks during the workday! Would love to arrange regular services over lunch time. As some who believes that pets are family, I promise to do everything in my power to keep your pets safe under my care. When I have hired Rover services myself, I love to receive lots of pictures and updates from my sitters, so I promise to do the same for you!
About: Hello and welcome! We take care of/have taken care of all different kinds of pets. We have our own two dogs, as well as six cats. We have experience with multiple different breeds and types of animals, as well as being able to handle many at a time. (We have had up to 9 dogs in our care at one time!) We know how hard it is to leave your pet behind, which is why we will update you with pictures as much as you would like. We have a finished basement if your loved one would prefer to be separated, and also have many open rooms for them to choose from for slumber. The cats have a gated off cat room, only accessible to humans and kitties. The crew and I can't wait to meet you! (Or if you prefer the whole crew won't meet you :)). Dani is currently home full time. At this time Dani is home for almost the entire day, with occasional errands. You can request our schedule for any amount of time to confirm your loved one will be cared for properly and on time. We deep clean all items used after a pet stays, so that they are ready for the next pet to stay. We have extra blankets, beds, crates, bowls, and more. We keep our fishtanks neat and clean, as well as my home. My dogs are extremely friendly even with cats. My backyard is fenced in with access through a back door. When it's nice out we play outside with the dogs where they have access to a kiddie pool to play in the water. I have started to add more outdoor play equipment/toys.
“Krystal continues to do an excellent job walking our dog, Taters. Taters is always excited to see Krystal coming, and Krystal has been flexible and accommodating when our schedules changed and we needed to reschedule walks. She’s easy to work with and is clearly great with dogs!”
“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: 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.
“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!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and love them so much that I decided to work at a Dog and Cat daycare and boarding facility. I’ve been working there for 3 years and have worked with all breeds and ages varying from puppies to seniors and love comforting them and making them happy while also making sure their parents know they are in good hands! I’m currently working part-time and my availability is flexible. I’m willing to make adjustments as long as I am notified at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Depending on the typical routine of the pet, I will follow it as close as possible to make them feel as comfortable as I can. I will keep them busy by going on walks or by playing with them, or if they have lower energy I’ll just make sure to give them extra attention.
“Genesis is everything you’d want in someone taking care of your pet! She was amazing with my senior dog and was a fantastic communicator too! I would highly recommend her services to anyone and will definitely be seeing her again soon! Thanks Genesis :)”
About: My whole life has been around dogs and cats. I grew up with 3 cats and 2 dogs. In my adult life I owned 3 dogs. I’ve helped train puppies of my own all the way to caring for senior dogs. I have watched friends and neighbors animals from checking in with cats daily to housing dogs for a few days to months. I have a very flexible work schedule so I can check on your pet in the morning before work, during my lunch break and after work. If you need me to be at your house full time with your pet I can easily work from home multiple days. I am a digital media marketer so I can work about anywhere and at any time. I have a fenced in yard with 2 very playful dogs if they need any playtime. I know a great dog park for dogs to run and play their heart out. I love going outside so taking dogs for walks is one of my favorite things to do. Since I live with 2 dogs I know how to feed, play, relax and sleep with them.
About: Just moved back in with my two retired parents. We have a big unfenced yard with a 50ft dog run going from the front porch to a tree. Growing up we’ve always had dogs and I have my own dog in adulthood for 9 years now. But, who can ever get enough dog time in their life, am I right?! I would love the opportunity to walk more dogs either by them selves or with my dog Maggie whom loves meeting new dogs herself and is very friendly. We would also love to dog sit or board, if dog sitting I could bring my dog Maggie along or leave her with my parents if that’s the preference. Having raised a puppy before I am very very patient with dogs and have lots of love for all breeds and temperaments! I am super accomodating to you and your dogs needs so let me know if you have any questions or preferences, I look forforward to meeting all the cute doggos! I work as a server, mostly at night and some Saturday mornings. I also have Thursday and Sundays off. I am available for all services from 6am to 2pm any day and boarding or doggy day care Thursdays and Sundays. I moved back in with my 2 retired parents I plan on being home if I am dog sitting or boarding but if I had to run out for any reason one of us is always home and your fur children would never be left alone.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was 7 and currently have one of my own! Big or small I’ll watch them all I work from home 3 days per week, and am happy to provide care for your animals first thing in the morning, mid day, or in the evening. I am also available for weekend care! I have fenced yard at my own home and in my clients homes I will take care of you dog or cat per your instructions only. I am happy to share many photos!
About: I have owned and watch dogs but also cats. I have a love for animals and I get very excited meeting new ones. It’s the best experience to me. I’m available anytime. I would be able to do last minute set ups. I’m sometimes away from home around 2-4 pm but that’s not often Everyone in the house loves animals, especially dogs. The most love is given like their our own. We get very excited and take them out for long walks. My dog has been around puppies before and he loves to be around other dogs.
About: I grew up having three different dogs ever until I was about 13. Over the last couple years, I’ve watched, walked, and overall taken care of several dogs for friends and family. I genuinely love to be around dogs and to play. I work from home full-time so I can give your dog a good amount of attention throughout the day with breaks to play and take a necessary potty or walk. I can watch dogs currently anytime during the work week! I live in an apartment so I don’t have a yard, but the area I live in has grass near by to go to when needed. Otherwise, we do go on walks throughout the day in our apartment community to get some exercise. We hold the safety of the dogs at highest priority so making sure they don’t get into anything they aren’t suppose to and making sure that they have what they need!
About: I’ve taking care of pets since I was 13. I currently have a blind senior german shepherd, and guide him when needed, giving him lots of treats and love. I also have a 1 year puppy and give her frequent time out. I’m planning on working weekends whenever needed to play with doggies and give them the care they need! I can feed them, give medicine, and care for blind and senior dogs. I put my dogs before anything and make sure they have everything they need. Treats, water, food, play time, medicine, supplements, nap time and love.

“I now know why Yolanda has such great reviews! When I went to pick up my Zoe girl 🐾 I could tell that she had a great time with the family. Yolanda sent pictures and updates of my doggie and I really appreciated it! I 100% recommend her for dog sitting needs! Thank you, Yolanda!!!!”
“Absolutely a wonderful visit with Michael for my little dog, Rosie. So much attention and care was given to her. Photos and updates were provided daily. Most importantly, Rosie was given affection and gentle kind care. I can definitely recommend Michael for wonderful pet care.”
“I really appreciated how accommodating & patient Monique was with my BabyDog Fèndi! She sent me some nice pictures about an hour after drop off which made me feel better as I was wondering how she was interacting with the bigger dogs since she’s a small one. Also, throughout her stay she was sending me pics. My flight back came in late, but Monique stayed up to wait for my arrival and I felt that was going above & beyond! Will definitely be using her services again and I highly recommend 10/10✨”
“We were so nervous to leave our 5 month old puppy Harper for the first time over a long weekend, but Cindy made it very easy. We felt she was in good hands with Cindy and had so much fun with the other dogs. When Harper came home after the weekend with Cindy, she was tired out and a happy girl. We will absolutely be booking with Cindy again!”
“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.”
“Sherry was wonderful with Nukka! She provided updates regularly, gave Nukka lots of love and walks. When a slight health issue arose, Sherry immediately notified me so I was aware of what she was seeing. I was able to get Nukka into the vet the following day for treatment! Thanks for taking such good care of our girl!!”
“Daniel was exceptional in taking care of my kitty, Nova! I had so much peace of mind on my trip knowing that she was in good hands, he kept me consistently updated with messages and pictures. I will absolutely be using him again! Nova had such a great time! Daniel is a star sitter :)”
“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.”
“Scott and Ashley were fantastic. Their back yard was perfect for Piper to run around in and they took fantastic care of her. They were extremely communicative as well. I look forward to Piper staying at their house again!”
“We started with a meet n greet a week before Reptar’s first solo stay with Evita and it went really well. The fenced-in backyard is always a perk so he can be off leash and outside. During the overnight stay, Evita sent a check-in with photos to let me know how he was doing. She has also been quick to respond (we have a few more drop offs coming up)!”
“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!”
“Elizabeth and her family took really good care of my boy soap. They sent pics every day and updated text messages. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the care that they showed my fur baby and he had the time of his life also. I think he didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Thank Elizabeth and family for taking such good care of my boy soap.”
“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.”
“Kim (and her husband Tom) are the best sitters. Kim is very responsive, communicative, and truly seems to enjoy all of her dog visitors. She has a fenced-in yard, and pets of her own that just go with the flow. Don't like her too much though because I want her to be available for ME! Ha!”
“Laura took such good care of our dog, Plum, for a week while we were out of town. She sent me photo updates of Plum playing with her dog Diesel every day, and it was clear that her family was showing him so much love. I am so grateful to Laura for watching over Plum for us and being so responsive, reliable, and warm. Her house was also super close to the airport which made pick up / drop of very convenient and a safe fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in. I highly recommend booking with Laura and will do so again next time!”
“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.”
“Amanda was amazing and accommodating with drop off and pickup. She took the time to really get to know all the details with Rusty and his habbits. She gave updates and pictures. Rusty had a great time and was a sad to leave. 13/10 recommend.”
“Scott is a great communicator. He provided a wonderful environment for Jameson. Very attentive to our needs. Very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would recommend him to everyone who is interested in getting great care for their dogs!”
