“Kristin & family provided attentive & thorough care for our energetic puppy! Receiving regular updates was appreciated, as was their clear & responsive communication.”

“Super nice family and home with fenced yard. We needed someone on short notice due to a family emergency. Katie and Samuel offered to be flexible with our return date which we greatly appreciated. Juneau seemed to have done fine.”

“Ryan and Martha took wonderful care of my dog. They treated her as a member of their family. They took her for walks and sent daily pictures. I will certainly ask them to care for Ella again when needed.”

“Huge thanks to Laura and Shadow for taking such great care of our pup while we were out of town! It gave us such peace of mind knowing that he was safe, loved and having a wonderful time. And we loved all the adorable updates. Thank you!!”

“We left our dog Toffee with Jenny and her family for 5 days while we attended a work conference, and we could not have asked for a better experience! This was our first time using Rover and leaving Toffee with someone we didn’t know, so we were definitely nervous at first. Jenny immediately made us feel comfortable with constant updates, pictures, and videos throughout the entire stay. Toffee had the absolute best time running around in her huge backyard, playing with her kids and her two dogs, and getting so much love and attention. It truly felt like he was treated as part of their family. You can tell Jenny genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing Toffee was happy, safe, and so well cared for. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be booking with Jenny and her lovely family again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Michelle (and family) took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town for 2 days, even keeping her calm during a storm. Great communication, too!”

“Edith took wonderful care of my little guy Gatsby and sent lots of updates which was so reassuring! He clearly got lots of play time but she also made sure he had a spot to go if he needed a break. Edith clearly knows dogs and pack tendencies and I knew Gatsby was in good hands with her two aussies. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Gatsby in her wonderful care again. Thanks Edith!”

“Emily was great with our big, young and very energetic dog! She has a great fenced in yard and our dog had a blast! He was very tired when he got home! We would definitely use her again!”

“We had a wonderful experience! This family took excellent care of our mini goldendoodle while we were on vacation—so kind, attentive, and thoughtful. They sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us total peace of mind and showed he was happy and having fun. Highly recommend!”

“Nicole has a lovely house in a nice neighborhood. She sent me updates on my dog, with pictures and was able to take the dog for daily walks. I'm in between jobs and this was a most affordable great quality yet homely option.”

“Fabulous! Mack gave her 4 paws up and he would have given her more but he only has 4 paws. He has been online trying one to buy me more airline trips so he can go back to Steph and live the good life. Can’t praise her enough. Deb Spencley”

“Christine is the absolute best. She made us feel very comfortable with leaving our pup and was awesome about keeping us updated. I think our dog liked being with Christine more than at home! It was such a blessing finding such an amazing dog sitter!!!”

We got updates from her daily and our dog had so much fun playing with Lindsey’s dog. Great communication too. If I could, I would give her 10 stars!!!”

“I wish I could stay with Jodi, her loving care and beautiful home and safe yard are absolute heaven!! It is obvious from the moment you meet Jodi that she Loves dogs and that she is a gentle and kind person. Her home and garden is designed for dogs comfort and safety and would make any dog feel at home. While we were away Jodi sent photos and movies several times daily and we could see how happy and at home our buddies were. Our dogs are like children and I am so grateful to Jody for giving them a home away from our home and for giving us peace of mind. Nothing could be more precious!!”

“Pamela was very responsive and friendly! She came over beforehand for a meet and greet. She also sent a nice summary and pictures each day. I would highly recommend her!”


“I booked Kelly to do a drop in visit while I was out of town last weekend. She came for a meet and greet with my cats mid week, and we got everything set up. Unfortunately I became very sick and stayed home. Kelly was so understanding and even helped me figure out how to get a partial refund. I will definitely be returning to her for kitty care in the future.”

About: Cats have always had a special place in my heart 🐱❤️ While I don’t currently have cats of my own, I’ve spent years caring for cats through friends, family friends, and my best friend’s cats, along with my experience working at PetSmart as a Pet Care Associate for 3 years. I’ve cared for cats with all kinds of personalities — from playful and outgoing to shy cats who need a little extra patience and comfort. Through both personal and professional experience, I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, giving medications if needed, and understanding cat behavior and body language. I truly love earning a cat’s trust and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away 🐾

About: I’ve spent the last 9 years caring for my Doberman, Rockso, including his senior years and ongoing health needs. For the past 3 years I’ve also cared for and trained our energetic German Shepherd/American Bulldog mix, Jett, from puppyhood through adolescence. My experience includes daily exercise, feeding schedules, medication administration, basic training reinforcement, senior dog care, and handling large, high-energy breeds. I’ve also provided pet sitting services for friends and family both in their homes and in ours. We have access to a yard area and I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, active, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or dependable daily care, I’ll treat them with the same attention and care I give my own dogs. Pet care is already a major part of my daily life. My day begins and ends with caring for my own dogs, including walks, feeding, exercise, training, playtime, and monitoring their overall health and well-being. Because I structure my schedule around animal care, adding pet visits, walks, and check-ins for clients fits naturally into my routine. I am typically available during daytime hours and can provide reliable morning and midday visits, walks, feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and make communication with owners a priority by providing updates and photos whenever appropriate. Whether caring for a young puppy, an active adult dog, a senior pet, or a cat that simply needs daily attention, I have the flexibility and experience to ensure they receive dependable care and attention while their owners are away. Every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to follow the owner's instructions and maintain consistency whenever possible. I believe pets are most comfortable when their normal feeding, exercise, potty, medication, and sleep schedules are respected. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible through walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, companionship, and any requested updates to the owner. I treat every home with respect and communicate regularly with photos and messages so owners can feel confident their pets are doing well. When caring for pets in my home, safety and supervision are my top priorities. Pets receive regular exercise, attention, fresh water, feeding according to their schedule, and a comfortable environment to relax. I have experience with large breeds, puppies, and senior dogs, and I understand that some pets need extra patience, structure, or encouragement to feel comfortable in a new environment. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care and treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Natalie was amazing checking on my kitties while I was gone! She sent great pictures and I could tell that they were very loved. Definitely recommend!!”

“Laura is such a delight to work with! My cats told me they had a great time while we were on vacation in their own way. Lois is the most timid cat ever and Laura was actually able to see her! This is unheard of!”


“Ann did a wonderful job with our two cats while we were gone for 10 day! She was excellent at communicating, and sent great pictures each time she visited. Our cats were happy and content when we got home- a sure sign that Ann did very well with them!!”

I have recently retired and my husband is retired which gives us the freedom to be available at home to be with your pets. I am home full time and my husband is retired so care is available all of the time. We specialize in geriatric dogs and offer care as needed Our home is set up for ease of care for elderly dogs. They can get in and out with one small ramp. Ramps are set up around the home as needed. Part of our large yard stays plowed and open during the winter months for small dogs.
“Hillary looked after my three kitties while I was away on the holidays. She made sure my babies got some affection while also checking that everything was in order! :)”


“Fantastic coverage for my 2-week absence. Mandi even got my formerly-feral cat comfortable enough to come out and sit in the hallway during her visits, which is an accomplishment for a stranger! She takes detailed notes and asks all the questions during the meet & greet, and had a great idea for key return under the door.”

“Isabel did an amazing job watching my cat Gio for the week. She was attentive & communicative. I really appreciated the regular photo updates as it gave me peace of mind knowing he was doing well while I was away. She was also very responsive and easy to coordinate with from start to finish. I’d absolutely trust her to watch Gio again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter. First time using Rover and was super happy with how it all went.”

“We used to have Leonardo stay in his crate while we were at work, but we knew he deserved something better. After looking through several profiles, Jamie really stood out. Once we read more about her, we felt confident Leo would have an amazing time with her and her dogs. Now he comes home completely tired and even falls asleep in the car, which says everything! Jamie is so kind and welcoming. we couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for him. We would absolutely recommend her. Thank you, Jamie, for treating Leo like your own while we’re at work!”

About: I am a previous dog owner and current cat mom. I grew up watching dog and cat training shows on TV and going to in person purebred dog and cat show events. I enjoy spending my time with furry friends. I'm a in-home caregiver to my mom so I have lots of time to take care of your pet. I have weekly events on Sundays and Wednesdays, but can easily work around those times. I have a long line for when your pet is outside and lots of patio seating to supervise and play with your pet the whole time. I also have a crate for indoor use.

“Nelly had a great time with Priyanka! Sometimes Nelly is timid in new situations but she seemed comfortable with Pri right away. We appreciated receiving some cute pictures of the fun times she was having, with walks and cuddles and lots of attention. We will definitely rebook with Pri the next time Nelly needs day care or boarding!”

“Elena was my first Rover experience—she really exceeded my expectations! She sent status updates and pictures throughout my pup’s visit, and he really enjoyed playtime with the other dogs. I definitely would love to bring my dog back the next time I need someone to watch him. Thanks so much for making it great for us!”

“Perfect. My pup went into Christina and Jeremy's house a little nervous and came out wagging. Christina and Jeremy were well set up, easy to work with and clearly like dogs. My guy will be back!”

“Gen hosted our pup on his first birthday and went out of her way to make him feel special on his big day. It definitely put this worrying puppy mom at ease knowing he was having such a fantastic time with Sasha and Gen while we were gone. His face always perks up when we pull into their driveway and he never wants to leave!”

“We couldn’t be more pleased with Marley’s experience with Joyce. Joyce was very good about sending photos that really reassured us that Marley was getting along nicely. Marley was so well-cared for and had such a good time! In fact, Marley laid down outside the car, as we tried to leave, as if to say, “Aw gee, do we have to go home already?””

About: I’ve cared for my dog for 10+ years, have experience dog sitting and overnight stays, and love staying active by giving dogs plenty of walks, exercise, and attention.

About: I’ve always been passionate about animal welfare and care. There has never been a time I have not owned animals and currently has 4 cats and 1 dog.

I share a lot of love and attention with my animals and would be happy to share that time and dedication with yours! I have a full time career in Human Resources for a large local employer where I work remote which has allowed me to have so many of my own fur babies! I am pretty flexible and wouldn’t accept a job where I couldn’t meet your animals needs. I have four cats that are well adjusted to dogs (including my neighbors 90 lb golden retriever) and a very social dog that my husband takes to the dog park 4 days a week. I also don’t mind staying at other persons homes as I have before with our neighbors and friends. You can expect that I will always treat your home and privacy with the utmost respect—just as I would want someone to do in my own home. If you have specific rules or instructions, you can count on me to follow them carefully and consistently.

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets and understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I’m especially patient with puppies (helping reinforce routines and basic training) and gentle with senior pets who may need slower walks or extra care. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care,I don’t just “watch” pets, I spend time with them, play with them, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re gone. Feel free to book off rover as well!! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the week. Whether it’s daily visits, drop-ins, or extended stays, I can adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs. I’m committed to being consistent and making sure your pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve. In a client’s home, I treat it with respect and keep everything as normal as possible for the pet—same routines, familiar spaces, and lots of love and attention. I spend quality time with them so they don’t feel alone and make sure all their needs are met. If pets stay in my home, I create a cozy, low-stress environment where they get plenty of care, playtime, and supervision. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy no matter where they are.

I will always keep my schedule up to date on when I am working from home. I currently do not have a pet of my own due to time constraints but I like to think of dogs as hoomans. I like to talk to them throughout the day and always take little 5 min breaks and run around the house with them. They will get plenty of outside walking time as I dont like to sit still myself.

I'm open to using whatever method you're used to for training your dog. I use a prong collar with my pooch on walks, and know how to properly adjust the fit so the collar sits comfortably on the dog's neck. I own my own home, and have plenty of leashes, collars, and toys to occupy your pooch and make them feel like they've won the dog lottery. I'm mostly available on weekends, and work during the week with some flexibility. I'm situated in Verona near the Westside of Madison!

We appreciate that they sent pics and short videos almost every day showing them having a great time at the dog park, playing with Yoyo in the fenced in backyard, and just relaxing with the family.”
