“Jessica is the best sitter I have ever had on Rover!!! She took great care of my Mickey and provided lots of updates throughout each day. Will definitely book with her again, my dog had a great time with her and her dogs!!”
“Lorelei was amazing! Nice, large backyard to run and play and I loved that other dogs were there for my dog to play and socialize with. I received pictures and a video of her stay. She answered all my questions and made me feel totally at ease with leaving my pup there. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again!”
“We love Margaret & so does our pup, she’s at ease whenever she gets to the house and sees her favorite dog sitter. She’s the only Rover we choose and we couldn’t be happier with her excellent care!”
“Mary and her family were absolutely wonderful sitters for Grizzy! They took great care of him during a cold snap, making sure he was warm and comfortable. Mary sent wonderful updates and absolutely adorable pictures, and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kaycee and Robert did a great job with our little puppy Milton. We loved that Milton could play with their kids, run around in the backyard with their dog, and feel at home. He’s a handful and came home happy!”
“Sofi took incredible care of our girl! She was always responsive and sent us frequent updates where I could see how happy Kiwi was. She is very knowledgeable about pet care and I would trust her with Kiwi anytime! Thank you again for giving so much love to Kiwi!!”

“Stephanie was great! She was easy to work with, took fantastic care of our pup. Our girl wasn't sure she wanted to leave. She sent lots of pictures and provided a fun and active environment. Would highly recommend!”
“Olivia is amazing!!! Our Nutka stay with Olivia for a week. This was Nutka’s first time away from us which may have been difficult at her 4 years of age. Olivia created adjustment meetings to ensure Nutka was happy and transitioned well. It worked! Nutka loved being with Olivia! Words to describe Olivia include: loving, thoughtful, intelligent, caring, and dependable. We are definitely returning and highly recommend Olivia to anyone!”
“Beatrice did a great job watching over Chopa :) She sent messages and pictures to provide updates during the boarding which was great! I would definitely reach out to her again when we need boarding service again”
“Juan has great! He and his son were very attentive with our dog. We were sent pictures throughout the day, and given updates about how our boy was doing! He has very high anxiety with strangers, and he had no problem calming down and napping with this family! When booking, we were told another dog would also be in Juan's care. He made sure that was okay with us, and went above and beyond to make sure our dogs never crossed paths (as we don't know if our dog is good with others yet) If you need a sitter, Juan is a great option! Very flexible, kind, and an overall great influence on your furry friend!”
“Alicia is such a wonderful fit for our dog, Modi, who loves staying with her when we are out of town! Alicia is so consistent & very reliable!! We highly recommend her services on Rover, as she provides a loving, nurturing home for our senior dog when we are away! 5+ stars 🌟”

“Tessa has been an absolute delight and I'm so glad to have trusted her with my Trixie. She helped celebrate Trixie's birthday and took her on so many walks and ample outside time! Highly recommend Tessa (and Tennessee)!”
“Lindsay was quick to respond to all my messages and made it easy to arrange drop off and pick up. She sent a number of photos of my dog and took her for a number of long walks, just what the dog needs to balance her abundance energy. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.”

“Shannon was fantastic! We had never used a pet sitter for our cats before and were going out of town for the weekend. Shannon was a great choice and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. She was great at sending pictures and texts, and our cats clearly enjoyed her visits. It was so nice to have our minds at ease while we were away.”
“Allison did a really nice job for us. She provided updates and a few pictures of our cat. It was good to see that he was comfortable with her and seemed to enjoy her company. Everything was as expected when we returned and we'd hire Allison again.”
“Darby did a fantastic job of watching my girls. She did a great job at following the directions I went over in the meet and greet, provided good updates about her visits, and my cats enjoyed her company (including the nervous one after she warmed up to Darby) during her time watching my cats.”
“Vanessa was our first experience bringing someone in (other than a close family or friend) to feed and hang out with Finn. We honestly expected him to hide under the bed the whole time she was here, but he warmed up to her immediately, even showed his belly within the first 15 minutes! (per the pictures that Vanessa kindly sent us). We are so relieved and also excited to have re-hired her for the upcoming holiday weekend.”
“Heather did a great job with Zephyr while we were away. She was extremely responsive, is very respectful of Zephyr's boundaries, and took care of things around the house that we asked for help with. We will definitely book with Heather again.”
“Claire was amazing as always with our two boys. She’s 100% reliable and a great communicator. She has just about seen it all and can handle complex care. Would recommend her to anyone.”
“I really appreciated all the updates and pics Alyssa sent. I could tell she was taking excellent care of my cat, Benny, with her drop ins. Highly recommend her services!”
“Joanna did a great job of watching our two boys (kitties) while we were gone for 9 days. She was VERY communicative and gave nice reports after each visit with photos of the boys. She brushed and combed them, played with them and spent extra time with them almost everyday. We highly recommend her and thank her for taking such wonderful care of our boys.”
“Lydia did a great job dropping in to take care of my cat. She had to give pills, kept me updated well, and sent pictures every time! My cat seemed happy when I returned and the house was well taken care of. Would hire again!”
“Kathryn did an amazing job caring for my grumpy old cat, Rumor. He doesn't usually like strangers, but she got him to play with toys and always spent time with him. I felt better knowing that she was checking in on him everyday!”
“We love Abigail and Ian. Not only do they walk our two dogs weekly (one of whom is cranky and the other somewhat challenging to walk), but they can always be counted on to take care of our elderly cat when we are away on weekends. They are wonderful!”
“Megan is awesome!! Megan was able to help us with feeding and checking in on our cats. Our cats have different foods/needs and Megan handled it all well! Definitely will use for pet sitting again!!”
“Keezieng's assistance was a lifesaver this holiday season. His politeness and kindness when meeting us and our cat Olivia was reassuring and he did a great job of updating us during his visits while we were away. We’re so grateful for the excellent care provided!”
“Jen was fantastic with our cats. She was prompt and responsive and was even willing to help with last minute medication changes for one of our kitties. We would definitely book again.”
“Kristopher was amazing pet sitter for our young kitten, Cosmo. He always had cute pictures to send! I know Cosmo was well cared for in his home with both space to play and rest. We would definitely recommend Kristopher for any of your pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve had cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been helping care for them since I was 10 years old. From feeding and grooming to playtime and snuggles, caring for cats has always come naturally to me. I’m experienced with administering medications, including pills and topical treatments, and I understand the importance of gentle, stress-free handling. Whether your cat is playful or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home.
“Stephanie checked on our dogs while we were away for a long day. She left a great recap of their time together and shared a few pics. Communicative and exactly what we needed when we were away the whole day!”

“Toffee and truffle had a wonderful time at Lorelai and Kayla’s place. They sent lots of pictures and were very accommodating with regards to drop off and pick up times.”
“Cynthia was amazing with Popsicle. She really looooves dogs, and she treated Popsicle like family. Popsicle gets so excited when she sees Cynthia! Cynthia sends beautiful photos and the cutest ‘pupdates’ I’ve ever read. Can’t recommend Cynthia enough and have booked her on a recurring basis!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages since I was a child! I grew up on a farm and have had Rottweilers, Pitbulls, cats, horses, and lots of animals of various sizes in between. I love all dogs and cats from chihuahuas to Great Danes and would love to care for your pet as well :) I currently work 3 days a week so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available 4 days out of the week and will have those 4 days off to devote to your pet! I live right on the Katy Trail and walk there everyday. I have no pets of my own so there’s no need to worry about negative interactions. I am also willing to take your pets to any appointments they may have!
“Julie did great job making me and my dog Stella Watson very comfortable from meet and greet thru 1st daycare visit. Stella had wonderful time playing with Zilla and zooming around the yard and house. Will be hoping to visit again soon!”
“Wolfy had such a great day with Mary and her family. He can back very happy, and Mary sent several lovely photos of his time. Mary was also flexible with me when my plans changed after booking, which was so appreciated.”
“Manu is very flexible and communicative! She always treats our pup with the best care. Our pup is always so excited to hang with Manu! Would highly recommend Manu to anyone looking for a dog sitter who gives lots of love and care!”
About: I've had dogs ever since I was a little kid and would do anything for them. I've also worked with dogs for the past 2 years. I have a Rat Terrier of my own and will make sure to treat your dog like they're my own. I’m used to all kinds of dogs whether it be age, energy level, or condition as I’ve had a mix of all at my job and growing up! I'm a student with lots of breaks between my classes meaning I’m usually only gone for less than two hours and I have lots of free time on the weekends. Max I’ll be gone is four hours, but that rarely happens. My dog is very friendly and energetic, but also knows when a dog doesn’t want to play. She’s very silly and loves to sleep! I live near the lake and can take your dog out often as there’s a nice trail along the lake and campus is pedestrian friendly. I live in an apartment, so I’m looking to host dogs who are comfortable in a quieter environment. Since I share walls with neighbors, I’m best suited for dogs who aren’t big barkers. That being said, I love dogs with a personality! A little energy and playfulness is totally welcome, I just ask that barking is kept to a minimum. Dogs are allowed to free roam around the apartment whether I’m with them or gone. If your puppy has energy to burn but knows when to settle down, we’ll get along great! In your own home I will take on any type of dog with any energy level! I will make sure to care for your dog while you are away just as you care for them while you’re in your house. A dogs safety and their comfort are a top priority for me! I also have a fenced in patio with dog grass if your pup needs a quick potty break!
“Emily made us feel extremely safe leaving our pup, Tyke, with her! She had a basket full of toys ready to show him & her home felt so cozy & welcoming. I could tell our pup felt safe with her right away & wasn’t stressed during drop off or pick up Thank you, Emily!”
“Julie was very friendly and accepted our booking late the night before we needed her to look after our dog. She took great care of Truffles and sent us plenty of photos throughout the day.”
“We are very grateful to Tracy. She took care of our adolescent dog with his first experience with daycare. We had a sudden family emergency that required someone to look after our pub. She was open and communicative which was very helpful. Would recommend to others.”
About: I am a person who truly loves taking care of dogs. I believe they are extremely important members of our lives and our families. Dogs bring joy, love, and positive energy into our home, and they always make us feel happier and more comfortable. I enjoy spending time with them, caring for their needs, and making sure they feel safe and loved. For me, dogs are not just pets, they are loyal companions who make our home a better place. Many years ago, I worked as a caregiver, and I have many years of experience taking care of dogs. Through that experience, I have learned how to understand how dogs feel by observing their actions, behavior, and body language. I pay close attention to their needs, moods, and energy levels to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Caring for dogs is something I take very seriously and do with patience and dedication. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I follow the pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, playtime, and rest. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language to understand how they are feeling and to meet their needs. I also keep their living area clean, provide exercise and companionship, and communicate with owners to ensure their pets are happy and well cared for.

I’m free to organize my schedule between pet sitting and working on my business. Currently available most days until July 20th! Will update calendar when I know more. I like routine. I think pets appreciate kibble and potty breaks on a familiar schedule. I will honor your wishes for care, play, walks, and socializing.
“Ben and Kassy were awesome! My dog DouDou was only 8 months old and very nervous and shy and we booked a daycare first to let him get along with them and make new friends. They try their best to help familiarize him with their place, and their dogs. I can tell they love dogs a lot!”

Layla then got to go for her first walk with Lizzi which was a satisfyingly long one around the neighborhood for her. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Lizzi; we booked our next walk right away!”
About: I am prior military so I am a very organized person. I've grown up with multiple pets and especially love dogs! When I was young, I used to walk my dogs all of the time and bathe them bi-weekly! I love animals of all kinds and have no allergies! I am also a very active person and would love to take your pets for walks and spend time with them! I work Monday - Friday until 4pm. On the weekends I am fully available to care for your pet and do whatever you would like! I will do whatever you would like me to do when I am available! Whatever you want, I can provide! I very much enjoy spending any kind of time with an animal, just as they enjoy spending time with me!
“Ashley does a great job communicating and really focused on her time with my senior pup. She's becoming my regular dog walker and I look forward to all the happy pictures of my pup she sends!”
“I needed some last minute help with my senior dog, and Alissa responded back quickly and was able to help me out!! She came to meet our pets and get the layout, and helped us out almost right away! She is very kind and gentle with our Murphy and even gives our two cats some loving even though we booked her for a dog walk! As someone with OCD and anxiety, my brain and body feel comfortable and safe with Alissa taking care of our senior puppy when we aren’t at home. Looking forward to hopefully booking with her again!!”
“Patrycja was a fantastic and professional caretaker for our dog Theo. Patrycja went above and beyond our expectations to give Theo great care and exercise, and did so consistently until we moved to a neighborhood.”

About: Hello, my name is Jackie! I’m a student athlete at UW- Madison. I want a dog very badly but not sure what my post college plans are yet. So I will fill the void with your pet! I’m fine with dogs of all sizes and can take them on as many walks or runs as needed. I’ve had experience with dogs and cats at home. I’m very comfortable with animals and know how to train them as well. I currently take my friends dog out for walks every morning and night but they are graduating this fall so no more puppy in my life. Honestly, letting me walk or watch your dog will be more beneficial for me. They boost my moral by a thousand percent.
“Hannah did a great job with our fairly high maintenance standard poodles. She won them over right away and asked great questions. She communicated well and we felt very comfortable having our babies in her care.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. My family growing up never had less than 3 pets at a time so I've grown up loving and rescuing animals including taking care of outdoor feral cats,stray dogs, etc. I currently have two cats of my own and hope to have more in the future at the very least by fostering :) Besides when working my 9/5 or rover I spend most of my free time with my cats. I also keep a cat crate and food in my car in case I ever see any stray cats and I have a humane trap at home. I have raised puppies and kittens from 2 months old and have had elderly pets that have lived to be 19 years old so I have experience with lots of pets of different ages, breeds, and personality types. I've taken care of upwards of 7 cats all in the same household so I am also experienced with caring for multiple pets including households with multiple cats and also dogs. I also have experience to varying degrees with deer, rabbits, horses, chickens, quail, and fish. I think pets are family and best friends and I am excited to meet yours and give them lots of love and attention I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick For daycare or boarding for dogs I would prefer they are cat friendly but accommodations can be made for sure! Currrntl due to my job I can’t do morning drop ins or walks during the work week but can on weekends and can still do boardings. There are some afternoons where I occasionally have avilability and my availability is subject to change so please feel free to still message to ask :) I still do have lots of weekend free time too :) I’m happy to watch multi pet house holds and do daycare for multiple dogs if you have more than one! During meet ups I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick In my own household I would provide them with their own toys, food and water bowls, and take them for lots of walks if applicable. My pets and any animals here are allowed to be on the furniture like the couches and bed but I usually put a blanket and a small bed on the ground in case some babies feel more comfy with that. I am more than happy to also crate them!
“Easy pickup and drop off, friendly, updates with pictures of my dog during her 1 week stay with them. They got her to eat her breakfast every morning and play and she's a shy nervous girl!”
“Finny had a blast! I got updates every day and I could see how happy and content he was while I was on vacation. I was very comfortable knowing he was safe and having a great time, and when he got home he was good and tired. Thank you so much! I would be super happy to bring him back and would highly recommend.”
“Flash had a fun-filled weekend with Lauren and Gabby. Lots of walks and playtime, and he was a tired pup when we picked him up. We appreciated the photos and videos. Flash is looking forward to his next visit!”
“Duane and Lauren are always so accommodating and flexible when we book with them! Our pup is always exciting to stay with them and it makes me happy to know she likes to be there! Thank you so much Duane and Lauren for always taking care of Stormi!”
“Manu was amazing from our phone interview to our arrival. She met me at the car and helped me get my fur baby inside. She was very caring and my baby sensed it. Normally it takes a bit to warm up to someone, but not the case. She went right to Manu and was very happy and content with her stay. She was loved, played with, and walked. I would highly recommend Manu and if in the area will hire her again. She was someone that I would count on to take excellent care of your fur baby.”
“Excellent! I really appreciated all the updates and photos from Stefanie. Great communication and flexible with drop off and pick up times. Will definitely use again in future.”
“We are so happy to have had Jen care for our dog for a long weekend out of town. It was our dogs first time staying with a non-family member so we were a little nervous but it was clear she loved staying with Jen and had so much fun. Jen is very professional and sent us several helpful updates throughout the weekend. Our dog had the best time with her. We will definitely be requesting future boarding stays with Jen!”
