“Ashlee was very communicate and sweet during Frankie’s stay with her! She was flexible and followed all of our requests. She sent updates with photos each night. Thanks Ashlee!”
“Scott was a wonderful sitter to our dog, Phoebe. Excellent communication, professional, and friendly. He sent us a few pics while we were away to let us know how she was doing, which I especially appreciated. Definitely recommend Scott, and his cute dog Lucy, to anyone looking for a sitter and a playmate.”
“Stacy did a great job with Bear. He seem very comfortable lying on the couch when I came to pick him up. She sent pictures every day or so showing me how Bear was doing. Thanks Stacy. I will be booking Bear another time with in the future. Two thumbs up.”
“We definitely recommend Maria and Nayibe. We were constantly updated with photos and we could tell that our dogs were being well cared for and even pampered. We will be booking again!”
“I highly recommend Laura! Her easy-going & friendly demeanor was evident from our first meeting, making my decision to leave Rupert with her for a long weekend a no brainer. I really appreciated the updates & photos she shared throughout Rupert's stay with her. It was apparent when I picked him up, that he had enjoyed his time with Laura & her pup, Diesel. I will absolutely book with Laura again!”
“Clark had so much fun staying with Andrew and his family! They have a big fenced in backyard and I got plenty of pictures of Clark playing :) definitely would book again!”
“Gabriel was great, my poppy had a great time with him and his puppy Mel. Lots of playing and wrestling, and Gabriel was great about sending pictures/updates all weekend. 5 Stars!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I have a special-needs dog that is blind, and due to loss of sight struggles with other dogs only because he can’t see them coming. Tracy watch Dover Rocky and make sure he was OK with all the other dogs and then sent me some of the cutest pictures of him just relaxing little notes telling me he was getting along with a dog that barked at him earlier. I’m never left Rocky with any other person other than family. Tracy is not part of that family.”
“Daniel and Holly continue to be amazing. They watch buster every time my husband and I go on vacation. They are flexible with time and dates, and buster is always so excited to see them 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!”
“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!”
“Elizabeth took great care of my dog Hank! Communication was great and prompt. She provided plenty of exercise and play time with her dog, and even gave Hank a bath when he got muddy.”
“Yolanda was amazing with our puppy Lola. She was attentive and warm and communicative, with beautiful pictures and adorable quotes. She even helped with training!! She is top notch in all ways!”
“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.”
“My pup developed diarrhea and a bloody stool the day I would be traveling. Her vet was able to diagnose that it was just stomach irritation and nothing contagious. She was still prescribed several things. Despite the last minute inconvenience Michelle was very communicative and accommodating. Throughout my dog’s stay Michelle kept me up to date about how my dog was doing and let me know that she was feeling better! In my time of using rover Michelle has been Lola’s favorite boarder and daycare host yet!”
“She is absolutely the best sitter I’ve used. Her children and her dogs were perfect for Zoe. She has a large fenced yard giving Zoe lots of room to play. I think Zoe thinks I’m totally boring now. LOL I’m so grateful Rebecca sent me updates and pictures. She’s the best!”
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.

“Leandrea did a superb job with my kitty Sunny! I was anxious about leaving him due to him just having surgery a couple of days prior, but I was immediately put at ease with her quality of care! I would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking for all my pet needs in the future! Thank you for being so wonderful!”
“Rosie interviewed Nicole in a Meet and Greet and I heard Nicole say we will get along just fine! And I could see that and it happened! Nicole went out of her way to pave the way for being with Rosie. She wanted to know her habits, asked about brushing her and wanted to know my needs for updates. I felt very comfortable leaving Rosie in Nicole’s care. And from the updates I could tell Rosie felt comfortable with Nicole. I will definitely call upon Nicole again! She cared, was dependable and easy to work with. I may even book a play date for Rosie knowing how they got along. Glad to have River!”
“Kathy is reliable with good communication skills.She respected that our cat is not open to strangers, and didn’t force it, while still getting photos to let us see that the cat was OK.”
“Julia was absolutely amazing! She was kind enough to visit before our booking to grab keys to our home and meet Patty. She spent a long time on her visit and took the cutest pictures! It gave me so much reassurance to see how she was doing each day. This was our first time using a sitter, but Julia made the process so much easier. We look forward to having her visit Patty again! Thank you, Julia!”
“Lexi did a great job of taking care of my 3 cats. They had specific feeding instructions and she handled that very well. She also went above and beyond with the litter boxes which made coming home from vacation much better.”
“Second time booking Liz in two weeks and she was great once again! Even took care of our outdoor plants for us which we really appreciated. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Kristine was awesome with my cat Winnie. She can get scared with new faces but Kristine was kind and gentle with her. 10/10 would book with her again!”
About: **update** I’ve moved neighborhoods! I now live near Wauwatosa! I do have a fenced in yard! I’ll still take clients in Bayview too! ☺️☺️ I had a dog in my house every since I was in elementary school, and loved each one of them more than anything in the world. I have been dog sitting since my mid 20s, and thoroughly enjoy taking care of and loving dogs of all sizes! I work close to home Wednesday through Sunday, no more than 7 hours at a time. That leaves plenty of time for several walks, playtime and the dog park(if allowed). I live 2 blocks from several parks and a 10 minute drive to 3 dog parks. Your pup(s) will get plenty of exercise and have free roam of my house, and can sleep wherever they choose including the furniture and beds(unless otherwise instructed:) )
“Erica was a huge help and accepted my request on very short notice! She did a great job taking care of my cat, Ladybug, and provided updates after every visit. Thanks, Erica!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Leilani is an amazing sitter. She keeps me updated, ends pictures and loves on my little guy, noticing changes in his behavior and demeanor but most importantly, he knows he too and feels comfortable 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.
About: I have had a dog of my own for nine years and think I would be a great fit to take care of your animal. I know what to do in different situations with dogs and cats because I have babysat dogs and cats before. I have a lot of free time to properly take care of your animals. I am willing to spend more time and really make sure your satisfied with my visit. I spend time taking them for walks, grooming them, and just spending time with them. I love exercising my dog and making sure he gets treats for his good behavior.
About: Primarily had two wonderful cats. The first is Ghost who I raised from when she was abandoned and the size of my hand until she passed away at age 19-1/2. The second is Harmony which we adopted and raised from age 3-ish to 18-ish. From time to time I have checked in on friends cats while they are out for basic feeding/kitty litter things, along with some socialization/cuddle time. We have two+ dogs at any time and haven't had cats in a few years, so care would only be at your home just to keep things good for my household.
About: I have taken care of cats since I was a kid. My family observed me being so loving towards the furry friends and felt safe when I were to take care of the cats. I’m very playful and gentle. We all know that cats can get messy- no worries! I’ll be there this clean up any messes.
About: I have a diverse experience of taking care of dogs. One of my previous jobs was working in a dog daycare/kennel where I took care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have been a dog walker and sitter for many years now, and have been around dogs my whole life! I currently own a mini poodle puppy! I am currently a full time student and can help walk your dog on weekends, holidays, and some odd days throughout the week. My schedule does change, so I can’t provide consistent care, but would love to help out when I can! I take dog walking very seriously, and make sure that the dog’s safety is prioritized. It make sure to be very observant of the dog’s surroundings and temperament, and will be ready to pivot whenever necessary. Communication is very important to me, so I am as prepared as possible for every situation.

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.
“If we could give her 10 stars we would! She made our visit to Milwaukee so much easier. We were nervous leaving Otis while we enjoyed our day out. Michelle assured us he would be fine playing with the other dogs and she was right! She sent pictures of Otis playing and you could tell he was happy and having fun. He also slept very well that night! We appreciate her watching Otis. We couldn’t be more happier of how his care was!”
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.
“Drew and Rue are awesome hosts! Luna and Rue became fast friends and they spent a lot of time playing and running around. Drew was kind enough to send pics and video to this nervous fur mom. He also asked if she had any particular routines to follow which was so appreciated. Luna has been good and tired out today so I could get some work done after I picked her up! Highly recommend Drew and Rue, we will be regular clients of theirs moving forward.”

I am currently on a career break and have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to come to your home for pet care.

“Second week of doggy daycare for Penny and she loves her attention from Dan, Holly and whoever else can give her pets and love. She use to not care for other dogs but is starting to interact and play. My heart is happy for this wonderful place for my Penny.”
“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’m a true animal lover. If it has paws, scales, fins, or whiskers, I’m already invested. I’ve cared for and fostered all kinds of pets over the years—dogs, cats, aquatic babies, reptiles, and the tiniest furry friends like bunnies and hamsters—so I’m comfortable across the board. To me, pets aren’t “just pets”…they’re family. My approach is calm, patient, and gentle. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and respect their boundaries so they always feel safe, understood, and comfortable. At home, I’ve got my own little zoo—2 sweet cats, a bearded dragon, 2 geckos, 4 snakes, and an adorable mouse—so trust me, I’m no stranger to unique personalities and specialized care. I would love to care for your pet when you need a break, go on vacation or when you make other plans. You can be assured that your pet is in good hands. To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. 📍 Located in Milwaukee – Capitol Heights area 🌻 I work from home so I’ll always have time to play, feed and love on your pet babies. I’m always flexible with their needs (bathroom breaks, medication, shyness) to make sure they are always comfortable. If my schedule or availability changes, I always send out updates to my calendar right away. ❤️ To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space for pets to roam, play and toilet if needed. Pets are always welcome to bring their own items. My 2 lovely cats are usually shy and more of the watching type, so they won’t bother your pets but will surely admire them from their cat trees. All activities and toileting are supervised. There is no smoking of any kind in my home or pet areas. There are some pictures of our living space in the photo collection on my Rover profile.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats going back to childhood. I have been actively pet sitting for 5+ years and have experience with puppies and kittens, seniors, and pets with special needs. I have also cared for rabbits and am very flexible and willing to learn! I am a teacher, so I am free most of the summer to watch your pet and give them some love! September -May I am still available but with less flexibility I enjoy drop ins and walks so I can give pets attention and care while in their own comfortable environment. I can also watch dogs at my home for those who need overnight visits, but dogs MUST be cat friendly/neutral without history of chasing cats
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 my pets stayed home with my partner for now, and miss my furry companions and want to provide love and care for yours while I’m here! 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.
“Amazing communication and pictures throughout. Soba had such a great time hanging out with Tracie and Penny! She was totally pooped from all the fun we had by the time we got home. Would definitely bring soba back without hesitation.”
“Yshonda has great communication and is very fast at responding. Hotch loves his time with her and he is always so excited to go and play! He always comes home exhausted from a day full of love and playtime!”
“Jill was able to accommodate our request rather last minute and was communicative throughout. She gave our senior dog a wonderful day of companionship; we know she was well cared for and left very happy.”
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.

“Chelsea was great. She was very responsive and accommodating in dealing with multiple changes in my schedule. She also gave helpful updates while on my dog’s walk. I definitely plan to hire her again!”

“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!”
“Sydney was the best!!! She went above and beyond to keep me updated on our pets! And our dog Rigby loved her on their walks together! I definitely will be using Sydney again in the future!!!”
“My little Mario 🐾 gets excited when I tell him Kathy is coming to walk him. She took him for a car ride and to the park for an extra fun time. I got a full report on how my little guy is doing and I’m so happy Kathy takes such good care while I’m away.”
About: I've had multiple dogs over the last 30 years. Mainly Bull Mastiffs, Border Collie Mix, and multiple Pitties. We lately have been adopting older dogs to give them the best end of life possible. For friends I've watched many smaller to larger dogs, comfortable with all. I have experience with all sorts of meds and care, although I prefer to stay away from anything with needles when possible. We've been to the vet more times than I can count, and have gotten good at understanding/reading dog behavior and signs of distress. I have experience with all soft of personalities...shy or alpha, lazy or rambunctious, etc. I like to understand them and work with them where they are at so they enjoy themselves and are happy. I'm a pretty calm presence and in general dogs trust me right away. My wife will joke that I am a dog whisperer as dogs tend to follow my lead easily, but I think it is simply being confident and projecting that you are there to take care of them. I have a very flexible work schedule and am home most of the time. I only have 1 dog right now (Oscar, 82 lb Pitty who loves everything and everyone...he walks around with soft toys like they are his dolls), but will likely be back to 2 in the near future. I walk my pup(s) pretty much every day. We live near Hart Park and the Oak Leaf Trail so getting out to walk along the river/parks is very easy. New to doing this formally rather than just for friends. Normally watch friends dogs at their place. If we take care of your pup in our home, we will always have 1+ pups that will be other-dog friendly. My wife and I have a small Tosa home but fully fenced-in yard to be able to let them out at any time day or night without worry. We have a small main floor but it has 3-4 dog beds and multiple toys (prefer dogs who are ok with soft toys, as our pup(s) don't rip those up. Will likely prefer caring for your pup in your home, it simply mitigates the crowding in the house and any potential conflicts. If I look after any cats, those would be at your house. We no longer have cats and aren't prepped for that in any way.
“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!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been caring for pets for around 7 years and have experience with dogs, cats, and reptiles. I’m patient, dependable, and pay attention to each pet’s routine and personality. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets the love and care they deserve like they’re my own. I work from home full-time, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I don’t go out often, but I enjoy taking walks, going on jogs, and spending time in my backyard with my own pets. Since I’m home most of the time, your fur baby won’t be left alone for long and will get lots of love, care, and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions you provide. I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and make sure pets always have fresh water, attention, and a safe place to relax. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.
“Mary is always reliable and my pup enjoys her company! She is ready to provide my pup with the best walks on a sunny day, in a slippery snow storm, or a gloomy drizzle! The weather does not stop her from making sure my pup has a great time!”
About: I've been around dogs all my life and love giving them plenty of play time and attention. I also just recently gained experience with puppies. They are my favorites 🙂↕️ Availability: Wednesday: 8am to 10:30am/ 5pm to 10pm Thursday: 5pm to 10pm Open availability on Friday, Saturday and Sunday If you have any questions or requests outside of my schedule, I will do my best to work with you. I am a student in college currently. I typically do drop ins, I feed according to how the owner wants their pet fed, I play with them as much as possible and give plenty of love and attention
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and have had the honor of caring for others pets as well! I have cared for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, horses, and birds! I am currently in school and find myself with a lot of free time! I enjoy going for walks and playing with my cat that lives with me! I live in a gated community with a fenced in dog yard! I know lots of great walking areas to bring your dogs too for a little fun adventure!
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.
“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 have extensive experience in pet sitting, having raised my own dogs from puppies to adulthood. I have a 10 year old small Cockapoo and an 8 year old big Golden Doodle, both of whom I've cared for since they were born. Additionally, I have a highly energetic Blue Heeler, so I'm well knowledged in managing dogs with high energy levels. My skills include basic training for puppies, ensuring they learn good behaviors early on, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs. I absolutely love dogs and will make sure they revive the love and attention that they very much deserve. Pet care is a big part of my daily life. I make sure to spend quality time with my dogs every day, whether it's walking, feeding, or playing with them. I ensure pets are comfortable by maintaining a clean, safe environment, providing regular meals, exercise, and playtime, and giving them lots of love and attention.
About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was little. From puppies to seniors, I’m experienced in all stages of life. Seeing dogs happy brings me so much joy. I love being playful with pups but also gentle and caring. I am studying my work but I do have plenty of free time to take care of animals. My schedule is fairly flexible whether it’s early mornings, mid day or evenings. Pups need playtime! I’m always willing to play- having their favorite toy, a fenced backyard or a leash is all I need. I love giving dogs scratches and belly rubs. If needed, I could crate them up/put is designated area.
About: I’ve worked as a dog groomer and at a dog kennel and I’ve also had lots of personal pets of my own from Puppies, Kittens, elder dogs with medications. So I can give your pets medications along with grooming and taking care of them in the aspect of making sure they’re healthy from working in a veterinary clinic in the grooming department. I am completely open, I have a pet cat that lives with my grandma so she’s taken care of fully so I can take care of your pets as needed as much as possible! I can take care of what you need in every aspect, whether you need your dog washed, nails trimmed, brush teeth, cat nail clipping, anything you ask I can bring and do for you for extra if needed! I also have a traveling pet bath with waterless shampoo and brush set for a good grooming if your pet needs it!

“Scott was a wonderful sitter to our dog, Phoebe. Excellent communication, professional, and friendly. He sent us a few pics while we were away to let us know how she was doing, which I especially appreciated. Definitely recommend Scott, and his cute dog Lucy, to anyone looking for a sitter and a playmate.”
“I highly recommend Laura! Her easy-going & friendly demeanor was evident from our first meeting, making my decision to leave Rupert with her for a long weekend a no brainer. I really appreciated the updates & photos she shared throughout Rupert's stay with her. It was apparent when I picked him up, that he had enjoyed his time with Laura & her pup, Diesel. I will absolutely book with Laura again!”
“Clark had so much fun staying with Andrew and his family! They have a big fenced in backyard and I got plenty of pictures of Clark playing :) definitely would book again!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I have a special-needs dog that is blind, and due to loss of sight struggles with other dogs only because he can’t see them coming. Tracy watch Dover Rocky and make sure he was OK with all the other dogs and then sent me some of the cutest pictures of him just relaxing little notes telling me he was getting along with a dog that barked at him earlier. I’m never left Rocky with any other person other than family. Tracy is not part of that family.”

“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!”

“Yolanda was amazing with our puppy Lola. She was attentive and warm and communicative, with beautiful pictures and adorable quotes. She even helped with training!! She is top notch in all ways!”
“My pup developed diarrhea and a bloody stool the day I would be traveling. Her vet was able to diagnose that it was just stomach irritation and nothing contagious. She was still prescribed several things. Despite the last minute inconvenience Michelle was very communicative and accommodating. Throughout my dog’s stay Michelle kept me up to date about how my dog was doing and let me know that she was feeling better! In my time of using rover Michelle has been Lola’s favorite boarder and daycare host yet!”
“She is absolutely the best sitter I’ve used. Her children and her dogs were perfect for Zoe. She has a large fenced yard giving Zoe lots of room to play. I think Zoe thinks I’m totally boring now. LOL I’m so grateful Rebecca sent me updates and pictures. She’s the best!”
“Evita was great with Togepi, she was on her own little vacation while I was away. I could tell Togepi was well taken care of and Evita would make sure to communicate and send me updates when I started to miss my pup. 10/10, would book again!”
“I recently adopted my dog Bruno and he still can be a little skittish at times. When I went on vacation I didn't want to have to board him at a kennel where there might be a little too much simulation for him. Nikki and her family were perfect for him. He stayed with them for a week and I'm confident he was well taken care of because when it came time to pick him up he almost seemed hesitant to leave with me lol. Could tell he was comfortable in the house which says a lot. Will definitely be using Nikki again. Thank you!”
“I felt completely comfortable that my dog was in caring and capable hands! Cindy sent a lot of pictures and kept me informed in regard to my dogs’ stay. Will definitely use her services again! Highly recommend.”
“Ester was great with Zeus. Zeus is very energetic, and had a wonderful time. I was sent videos of him during his stay. Will definitely book with Ester again.”
