“Our pup had a great stay with Rebecca and Matthew! I was really looking for a home with a family that would interact with her regularly, meet her high energy needs and be able to have her in a calm, family environment ~ they were excellent in providing our pup with everything we were hoping for, and they truly went above and beyond! We are so pleased with her stay; with it being our first Rover experience, we were very relieved with the overall experience, and highly recommend Rebecca and her family.”
“Luana was accommodating, easy to work with and clearly a devoted animal lover. She took great care of our little dog and was especially mindful to make sure he was safe, because he’s a quick, little escape artist. We appreciate her care and will be back when we’re in Wisconsin.”
“Diane and Dale went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule and care for Oliver. He fit right in with their dog, Lexi, enjoyed the walks around the pond and was well-loved. I highly recommend them!”
“Cheryl was great with our dog Ellie and our cats! You could tell she really cared about our animals and took the stress of leaving them alone off of our plates. We will book with her again!”
“Monique was great! Communicated everyday to let me know how Roscoe was doing and sent him home with a great report card that let me know overall how things went. Roscoe had a great time there!!”
“Emily and Bryan truly love dogs and what they are doing. We can trust our dog, Scannon with this caring and compassionate couple. We really appreciated the fun pictures and videos that Emily sent. We will definitely book with them again and would highly recommend to anyone!”
“Lisa and her family take Blue in like one of their own. Blue is always very excited to run in and greet everyone when we arrive. The pics Lisa sends always show a very contented pup during her stay”
“Mary was absolutely wonderful to work with!! She was so accommodating and my dogs loved her! She sent updates every day and I felt so comfortable knowing they were being so well taken care of (and spoiled). Finding a dog sitter that I can trust and that I feel like my dogs will do well with has been a challenge, but I think I have found my "regular dog sitter!" I am looking forward to working with Mary again. I would highly recommend her ~ especially for lower energy, senior dogs.”
“Zoe had a great time with our sitter this past week. They kept me updated on a regular basis and it was fun to see her enjoying herself. I will definitely rebook with the sitter again. They are great!”
“My dogs stayed with Emma for one night while we were in town for a wedding. We were coming from out of town and had to change our arrival time more than once. Emma was very particular with us! 😀”
“Cathy & Matilda did a great job taking care of Jake. He enjoyed playing with the other dogs & enjoyed the special attention they gave him. It was so nice to receive pictures & updates from Cathy during the week. We will definitely ask Cathy & Matilda to sit for Jake again.”
“My dog had a wonderful time at this house and I received many pictures of her having fun. The family was also accommodating to our needs when we had some trouble getting back at the time we predicted.”
“Halligan was so awesome and took care of our puppy this week. I got multiple updates, photos AND videos. It was so reassuring to know that Luna was with someone very caring and dependable. It made going on a work trip that much easier. Thank you, Halligan, so much! <3”
“We will book with Molly again! Our fur babies had to stay with her for 2 days/1 night Molly was amazing with our babies Perrito and Gregorny. We had to find a dogsitter last minute and we found her. The day before we needed a sitter, she offered to do a quick meet and greet to see if Perrito and Gregorny would get along with Skyy (Molly's 3 yr old pet) and it went well. During Perrito and Gregorny's stay at her place, she kept us updated and sent us pictures! It was great knowing that they are all warming up to her, our babies can get pretty shy and easily get scared. I believe they also warmed up with Skyy eventually. Thanks again, Molly!!! 🫶🏽”
“This was my first time having my boy stay at Judy’s and I really appreciated all the contact I had with them all week. She sent lots of photos and updates, I think he’ll be bored silly back home with me! Thank you for taking such good care and making me feel comfortable as well! Beats being in a 3x6 cage all day at a kennel. So glad my Sister recommended Rover to me! Thank you Judy and Team!!”
“Brittni & family were the best dog family we could ever ask for! Luna got along great with their dogs and kids. Brittni sent pictures of Luna with the family and out on walks. Highly recommend!”
“Ryan was awesome with your pup Kimber over the weekend! He provided updates throughout and asked questions when needed. Him and Dexter wore our pup out! We look forward to having Ryan watch Kimber again in the future. Highly recommend Ryan! Thank you, Ryan and Dexter, very much for this weekend!”
“Kayla and Milo were awesome sitters! Kayla did an amazing job housing my dog Kobe and sending picture updates to show he is doing. It seemed like he enjoyed his stay so much. Milo also was a great furry friend to keep Kobe company. With the awesome communication and also being flexible on scheduling, Kayla is awesome to work with. Definitely will book again.”

“Thank you so much! We can tell from the photos you shared that Josie had a wonderful time playing outside and being spoiled with her treats! We will definitely reach out to have you watch our pup again!”
About: My family has an 11yo Golden Retriever that I’ve helped care for since she was a puppy. I also regularly dog sit for family friends who have 2 small dogs, one is 10yo and the other is 2yo. I have experience with walking dogs on leashes and in the open country! I’m also the go-to person in the family to get ticks off of the dogs! I work from home a majority of the time now so my schedule is very flexible! I typically go into the office 1-2 days a week. Since I no longer live at home I don’t get the opportunity to see my family dog every day so getting the chance to get my pet love in would be a great joy as well as being able to help someone else out. I care about making sure that the pet has the proper equipment (leash, bed, toys, kennel) to live safely and happily. I typically like to use a harness leash as it doesn’t pull on the dogs neck when walking. I also make sure that all pets have food and water (food when needed) and that they are not being over or under fed. I also like to make sure that the pets are in a happy, clean home so that they can fulfill the best life possible!
“I admit, I was hesitant at first to hire a pet sitter for my diabetic cat. Renee did 2 drop in visits for 5 days and when I got home my kitties were happy and healthy!! They don't take well to strangers but from the pictures she sent me they had no problem becoming fast friends with her!!! Renee cares about what she does and does her job well! I would recommend her to anyone who wants quality care for their pet. I will definitely be using Renee again in the future!!!”
About: I have dreamed about walking dogs since I was a little girl and now I have found a way to do it and get paid! I have two Weiner dogs at my mom's house, a labordooddle at my dad's, and two cats of my own.I know and love all kinds of dogs and cats! I will care and treat them like they are my own so trust me they will get the best care ever! They may even get a little spoiled... But I can be strict if you have certain rules you want them to abide by! I have training. Please consider me when thinking about who can care for your furry children. I will give them the best care they deserve! I work part time and have a flexible schedule, so I can be available when needed. I have a car for easy transportation as well. My cats get supervised time outside on harnesses and time in the breezeway with open windows to get some fresh air. My neighborhood is good for taking dogs on walks and there is a wonderful dog park near by!
About: Hi! I’m a full-time worker with a consistent schedule, offering dependable evening and weekend pet care. I have experience caring for dogs and am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m very responsible, detail-oriented, and will always follow your instructions closely. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like my own. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind. I’m currently available for drop-in visits and dog walking during weekday evenings and weekends. I’d love to help care for your pet! I take my dogs of daily walks to help both them and myself get out of the house more! I like to try and get them with other dogs as much as possible so they are big fans of the car which is also another thing I enjoy doing with them! If I am just coming to your home, I focus on your dogs and what you and they need! I love all animals of every size. I just to give them the care you want them to have!
“Alyssa was on time, communicative and professional. It was nice to not have to worry about my old boy while at work. She did a great job taking care of him! My dog and I are looking forward to booking with her again. ❤️”
“Grace is amazing! Very friendly & upbeat. She is quick in responding to messages & very flexible with scheduling our dog sitting. She is also very patient in getting to know our sometimes difficult rescue, Bingo.”
“Emma dropped in on our two cats (one of which needed medication every 12 hrs) during our trip and was very communicative during the visits. She sent pictures every day and even cleaned everything up on the last visit. We will definitely use her again for our next trip.”
About: Giving all the snuggles, kisses and attention your lovable pets need. Caring for pets like they are my own. I like teaching the dogs how to do tricks. I have open availability and can work with you! I am available Sundays all day and the rest of the week varies. I am excited to work with you I will make sure to keep a close eye on your pets.

About: We’ve always had animals growing up, and I’ve always had lots of love for them. I am fully comfortable working with different dogs. I currently also work in child care, so taking care of animals is one of my strong suits. I’m 21 now and got my own first puppy in May. My parents have always had dogs but having your own is a whole new experience. BUT the best thing in the world. I’m currently working part time, so I have more time to work with your pup! I am most available in the mornings when your pups got the most energy! We only kennel our puppy if we leave the house, otherwise she sleeps in our room at night and is not in the kennel other times. I believe in more free rein with animals. Our back yard is fenced in. We also have a dog pool for hot days! Depending on what you prefer I can work with/around to accommodate you and your pup.
About: I have 15 years experience with big dogs. I have high energy and will guarantee your dog/dogs will have plenty of exercise. You can trust that your animal will be in safe hands whether you need short or long term care. I’m self employed and have a flexible schedule. Therefore I can make trips throughout the day for potty breaks, walks or feedings. I’m available very early and late hours. I only let dogs out on a leash to keep them safe. I do have a one year old lab that will keep your dog company and on their toes.

“Ryan was very accommodating and thoughtful as we dropped our dog off for an afternoon. He listened and was engaging as we discussed our pup’s routine. We would go back to Ryan next time we are in the area.”
“Mary was fantastic. I have never had to leave my dog with a sitter before so he is very attached to me. Mary was kind and made him feel at home and sent me lots of pictures so I knew he was happy.”

“Emma was great, she went above & beyond to make sure Indagos stay was great! She's so good with him. I'm so thankful she likes him & Indago liked her. I was worried being a blue healer with lots of energy. Only God could provide such a great dog sitter for him. 💛🐕💛”
“Best Rover ever. My corgis were so happy with the two days they were there and they usually never get that excited with anyone else. Recommending everyone in Milwaukee area to go see her for doggy needs”
“Meagan is a 10/10, would definitely recommend!! Meagan is an amazing dog sitter and gives us the peace of mind we needed. Our puppy, Finnegan, runs to her at drop off and has a fun-filled day with lots of indoor and outdoor activity with built in rest time as well. Meagan is extremely mindful and takes the best care of our puppy.”
“Judy and Paul provide the perfect day care for our lab. She needs security and activity. Judy ‘s place is very dog friendly and Paul made sure Rona had supervised play that included fetch, Rona’s favorite pastime. I would recommend Judy and would plan to use her dog care service whenever we are back in the area.”
“Frankie was so nice. We met before the scheduled date. She gave a detailed and great description before the drop off time and made sure everything was fine. Riley came back happy.”
“Cyen is great! My very shy pup warmed up to her in no time. The fenced in yard is nice for potty breaks and playing chase. Communication was great, Cyen even sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
About: Ever since I was little I've always loved dogs! Growing up there were always dogs around and it was so much fun. Fast forward-I am a stay at home mom but was previously a nanny and some of the families had 1 or 2 dogs that I loved playing with, taking on walks, and snuggling. I would stay for 1-2 weeks throughout the year at their house watching their dogs while they were on vacation. From playing fetch, back scratches to belly rubs, breakfast and dinner, and all of the in betweens you'll know your dog(s) is/are in great hands! It's always so much fun walking in the door and having a dog greet you being so happy that you are there! I've done many overnight dogsitting nights as well as popping in once/twice during the day to let them go potty. I do have small children at home so family/child friendly dogs only please :) I stay home with my kids so the day is flexible for potty breaks, drop ins, walks, etc. There are some days where we may be gone for a few hours on an outing. I provide care in my home. Lots of snuggles, play time, and walks (weather dependent). I take care of your pet(s) as if they were my own.
About: ☀️$35/night for bookings during August 1st-September 30th! Discount applied at booking. Does not include Rover's booking fees. Holidays discounted to $43/night. When your pup comes here, you can expect heart, home, and a whole lot of wholesome fun! 🐾💛 Our business model is built on trust, transparency, professionalism, and safety. We are also fully insured by a third party. ✔️ We have owned a dog all our lives! We currently have one dog, Sadie, who is the most affectionate hostess you could meet. 🥰 Between Bryan and Emily, hours are logged volunteering at the humane society, dog-sitting for large and small dogs alike, and experiencing all personalities. With over 15 years of personal experience pre-Rover and over 5 years on Rover, we treat dogs personally, as the individuals they are! Developing a personal understanding is our priority so that the dog feels comfortable and well-loved, even if mom or dad aren't there. The activities naturally follow! Our family favorites are long walks, visits to the dog park, and zoomies around the house. Our family can't wait to add your dog to our fluffy circle of friends! We have one toddler. We have enough space to keep her separate from the dogs we take on and take every precaution to promote complete safety. Regardless, we do require all dogs to be tolerant of children as a baseline precaution! (*PLEASE NOTE* Dogs MUST be friendly with other dogs and children. A meet and greet is required prior to any new bookings. Due to the fact we want to accommodate daycare and boarding clients, we require as a prerequisite that your dog be good with other dogs as there may be times they overlap. We take every precaution to keep any overlapping dogs separate unless/until we are 100% confident they will be safe and friendly buddies! We will also *always* ask first about your comfort level with overlapping bookings! For new clients, overlapping is avoided if at all possible. Sometimes, it just happens, be it a few hours of daycare or a pickup/drop off. Thank you for understanding.) Emily is a stay at home mom. Bryan works a mile away and comes home for lunch! We try to make it a daily routine to fit a walk into the morning or the evening. Our schedules are extremely conducive to pet care! *EXPANSION COMING SUMMER 2026* A personal home environment with large kennel standards. ✨ Fully insured with policies built on trust. We live in the spacious upper unit of the duplex we own. Our home is dog-proofed - everything edible is either well out of reach or, in the case of our trash can, has a child lock. Our yard is not fenced in (soon to change, stay tuned!) so we ensure our dogs are securely leashed before exiting. Currently, we max out at two dogs taken in at a time, only with explicit owner permission to overlap dogs from different households. When we expand in August '26, we will raise that to 4 with the ability to keep small dogs (30lbs and under) completely separate from large dogs, and keep all dogs separate from each other. We regularly clean and sanitize dog spaces and dishes! Emily and Bryan are experienced in dog behavior. We monitor all play very closely and keep dogs in separate rooms at meal times. Dogs are encouraged to join us on the couches and overall treated like family – minus the access to human food, of course, much to their chagrin. ;)
“You have a great place for a pup to hang out! Thank you for taking care of Duke, he must have had a great time because he’s all tuckered out! We hope you’re available next time we are in the area. Take care, and thanks!”

“Emily communicated great before and during our dog’s puppy daycare with her. Her and her husband were both super friendly and listened to our comments regarding our puppy. Our dog got along great with their dog, Ruby. This was a really great experience and I’d highly recommend Emily to anyone.”
About: Hi I'm Matt. I'm a big animal lover, and have been in the animal field for 15yrs working with all different types of wildlife. Have experience in giving vaccines(IM or SQ), oral meds, and basic care. I have since moved onto a new adventure in lawncare. I have been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with a German Shepherd, a purebred Samoyed, and a tabby cat. Currently, I have 2 beagle-shepherd mixes, Hunter and Holmes, who are 2 of the sweetest boys you will meet. We are often outdoors taking our daily walk, hiking local state parks, camping, or just working in the yard. I have always loved being around animals, especially dogs, and find that having them brings such happiness to life. The boys and I are together daily. I currently work typically Mondays thru Fridays sometimes varied or longer hours. However, we always make time to go for a walk daily, and on the weekends typically are out exploring. Hunter gets meds twice a day in a pill supplement as well as I trim their nails and baths occasionally. I currently rent a duplex that has a fenced backyard, and also have a spare bedroom and wire kennel if needed. Typically my dogs free roam during the day, and are good to be alone overnight or up to 10hrs which can allow me to spend time with your furry friend.

About: I've grown up with animals my whole life and have always had a passion for ensuring the wellbeing and meaningful care that each and every animal deserves. I worked at a dog daycare & walking facility in high school, and am now working at a vet clinic since 2023. I have 3 pups and 2 cats of my own and am happy to show all of your fur babies the same amount of love and affection I do my own. I work full-time at an emergency vet clinic but have a fixed schedule. Do not be afraid to message me for more specifics on my availability, as it's hard to properly express through the options on Rover. I am available late at night for drop in visits. I have plenty of experience caring for dogs and I believe every pet deserves time and respect no matter how shy or friendly, young or old. I work with plenty of dogs of all walks of life at my full time job. I understand it can be scary letting a stranger take care of a family member, and I want to ensure you are able to trust that I will care for your babies the best I can.

About: I’ve been a dog owner since 10 years old and have not gone without mans best friend since! I currently live on 23 acres in the country and long walks and chasing balls packs in most of the day with my 4 dogs Jetta, Odie, Ruby and Rowley. All dogs are dog friendly and well mannered. Graduating puppy classes to canine good citizen classes, plus dabbling in agility and herding. I currently work Weekends Friday-Sunday and my week is filled with lots of outdoor time on my hobbies farm. Lots of free time during the week helps me have fun with my animals and enjoy the sunshine. All my pets are cat and dog friendly and have full freedom of the property. New comers are always on a 12 foot leash during playtime and walks, unless E-collar trained. When first meeting owners I go over your dogs recall manners and slowly introduce them to the pack on a long property walk. This helps incorporate pack leadership and expelling energy at the same time.

I look forward to meeting you and all of your fur babies soon! I also offer farm help, as I have experience with smaller livestock. Goats, chickens, guinea hens, ducks etc. Rates and payment options can be discussed in person as I'm unable to add an option for that on here 😀 Having pets of my own, I am constantly taking care of them. Filling their water dishes, giving them their food on time. Making sure they are getting the proper exercise they need. Monthly nail trimmings. Daily exercise inside and outside of my house. Keeping their indoor and outdoor areas clean of 💩 and anything that could be potentially harmful to all pets. I always make sure there is accessible water for all the pets in my home. I also keep feeding schedules logged into my calendar on my phone so that no one ever misses a feeding. Pups go outside at least once an hour unless they show that they need to go out more frequently. Also provide play time, with running around the fenced in yard, playing with toys and tons of snuggles on the couches!

“Brandi was great with my 3 dogs. She was on time. Was able to meet the dogs and I before the first day. There was an issue with the neighbors dog jumping my fence when she was out with my 3 dogs. She handled the situation very well! She sent me a lot of pictures also! I would have Brandi come back and take care of my dogs again!.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I had my own dog for 16 years, from childhood through her senior years, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency dogs need at every stage of life. I regularly walked her and taught her commands like sit, shake, and roll over. As she got older and developed health conditions, I continued caring for her with patience and attention to her changing needs. I’ve also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society and used to go with my mom when I was younger, which helped me become comfortable around dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’m dependable, caring, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I’m home from college for the summer and looking for a fun, active way to spend my weekdays doing something I genuinely enjoy. I only work a few nights a week, so I have a pretty flexible daytime schedule for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I’ve always loved being around dogs, so this feels like the perfect side job for me while I’m home. I enjoy getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals, and I’d love to help give your pets some extra attention, exercise, and care during the day. When caring for pets, I always try to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. During walks I keep dogs closely leashed, pay attention to our surroundings, bring water and waste bags, and make sure not to walk too far especially in hot weather or with older dogs. For drop in visits I make sure pets have fresh food and water, get attention and play time, and that everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also know how important pets are to people, so I’d always keep owners updated and send pictures when I can.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies requiring training and socialization to senior dogs needing patience and special attention. My background includes administering medications, handling dietary restrictions, and understanding behavioral cues to ensure each dog feels safe and loved. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, as I prioritize time for walks, play, feeding, and attention to each pet’s specific needs. I structure my day to ensure pets get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and relaxation. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday play session, or evening cuddle, I integrate pet care seamlessly into my schedule, treating each pet as if they were my own. I’m a college student and love decompressing with a furry friend. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. In my home, pets have access to cozy resting spots, plenty of toys, and supervised playtime in a secure space. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly area and follow your specific instructions for feeding, routines, and special needs. I live on 4 acres of farmland and love taking dogs out for playtime. When caring for pets in your home, I ensure their daily routines remain consistent, providing familiar comforts and maintaining their usual feeding, walking, and play schedules. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you’re always in the loop. My goal is to give your pet the care and attention they deserve while giving you peace of mind

I do have a one year old lab that will keep your dog company and on their toes.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 8. I pay attention to all the pets that I care for. I also am very good at attending to dogs with anything they need. I am looking to do this full time and I am flexible with anyone’s schedule. I am home most of the time except to run errands. I have a big house and big yard that is fenced in. I live 5 minutes away from a big dog park. I also live with my mom and two of my siblings. There are four medium sized dogs that live in this house and enjoy playing with most other dogs.
About: I have over 8 years experience with caregiving for others in the comfort of their own homes. 90% of my jobs have been caretaking for animals, homes, pets, and children because it is what I love to do. I’ve sat for teachers, family, and friends. Usually a mix of cats and dogs, but I would love to sit turtles, birds and other pets! I have experience sitting for spicy chihuahua’s, schnoodles, shih tzu’s, and lots of different fish and cats! I have taken care of a pets with special needs as well! I am not an expert by any means. I am learning more about pets everyday, and i cannot begin to tell you all the different types of breeds i’ve taken care of, but i have a few pictures! I am not a florist, I love me a good succulent though! I love plants, and yes I will water, talk to your plants and do my best to take care of them! Librarian moved back home, looking to gain experience while earning some side cash to travel with! I have a lot of free time in my schedule and want to have furry friends while I solo travel! While working and staying in clients' home i make sure to follow instructions when walking dogs and even basic instructions in the home whether thats closing doors and having specified no pet zones or making sure the cats or dogs are NOT in the toilet! I like to have emergency contacts just in case!
About: Being with animals isn't a job for me, it's my favorite thing to do! I've grown up with animals around me my whole life, and I started walking dogs when I was 16. Almost 20 years later I am still loving on pets whenever I can. I currently own a Bearded Dragon and a senior pup - But I owned special needs kitties for 19 years. Here's some about me and my experience! 70% of my one-time clients have booked me again or become regular clients! Please reach out with any questions on rates, experience, or anything else you want to discuss! Pet Care Experience: - Dogs: Puppies older than 6 months, juveniles, adults and seniors - Cats: Kittens older than 8 months, juveniles, adults and seniors - Small mammals like guinea pigs, hamsters - Reptiles like Bearded Dragons and Leopard Geckos - Fish What can I do that sets me apart? - Medication administration with mild- to moderate-tempered cats (oral, topical, injection) - Experience with Separation Anxiety, high-energy, and pets that don't do well with other animals (keeping walks, etc safe!) - Experience with multi-pet homes and environments. I've watched 13 cats and 2 dogs in the same home once! - Manual feeding assistance for sick pets - LOTS of attention. My visits are longer than most as I love to just sit with pets and give them attention in the ways they need or want. For overnight stays, I'm a homebody so I love to stay at the house and just hang out with the animals! - A LOT of Flexibility: I don't work full-time right now, and my sleep schedule isn't regular. This means I have no issues with adjusting schedules even last minute. Need me to come earlier? Or come back when your flight is cancelled? No problem. - *Cat Whisperer* I have been told by most of, if not all, cat clients that are standoffish like me quicker or more than a normal stranger. I love cats the most, so I think they can sense it ;) - *Coming Soon* Insurance for your pet and home during my stays! Any tips will be going towards that and training classes so I can grow. About me: - I've lived in WI since 2009 - I have 18 years of working experience - clerical, customer, administrative and sales support, retail - In my free time I like going to concerts, listening to music and doing crafts/projects, playing video games or hanging out with my friends and family Currently my schedule is completely open! I am flexible for even last minute bookings or changes. I have my own transportation and things are taken care of for me at home. So long stays, short stays or visits work for me. I work around whatever needs you and your pets have so make sure everyone is as comfortable as possible. I'll ask for a digital or typed/written instructions so I can follow them to the letter! I keep areas clean and make sure everything is secure before I leave a home. I also always send a "closing" message for overnight stays with details like mail collection etc! Your pet's safety and your ease of mind are my top priorities.
About: Hi everyone! My name is Alexandra but I tend to go by Lexy. I have had dogs and cats and so many other animals in my household since before I was even born. My mom grew up on a big farm so she was used to being around animals. She wanted to make sure she had the same experience for my brother and I. I have been a part time dog sitter through word of mouth mainly. I just recently graduated from college with my bachelors in Public Health and am looking for a fun filler throughout my summer while I plan next steps. Animals (especially dogs) are my safe space. So please, entrust in me with your fury friend and I promise you will not regret it! I am currently only working part-time on weekends. So schedule is extremely open and extremely flexible. I am also available to do over nights as I have someone at my house who can watch my animals! I will not be offering any services at my own home as I have a pretty full house of animals. To sustain their comfort I want to keep this separate. At my house I have a fenced in yard but a large yard outside that fence the dogs are able to roam. They have an electric fence so they know how far they are supposed to go.
About: I cared for my former dogs who both had severe types of cancer so i am able to care for animals who may have medical issues I currently Work part time so i can dog/ house sit sunday-thursday and on twth i am not able to do a during the day walk I can only come to your home as I have two dogs who don’t like other dogs. But I am willing to play with you fur babies in your house!
About: I have a big heart for animals and love to make sure that they are well taken care of. Animals are very special to me and I believe they need the best service. During my week I go to classes in the morning and I work remotely in the afternoon. I enjoy exercising so if I am able to go for a walk after work that would be ideal. When I take care of my parents dog I make sure that he has water and food throughout the whole day. I love playing with him when I can and I put him on a leash and walk him outside when it is time for him to go outside.

“Our pup had a great stay with Rebecca and Matthew! I was really looking for a home with a family that would interact with her regularly, meet her high energy needs and be able to have her in a calm, family environment ~ they were excellent in providing our pup with everything we were hoping for, and they truly went above and beyond! We are so pleased with her stay; with it being our first Rover experience, we were very relieved with the overall experience, and highly recommend Rebecca and her family.”
“Cheryl was great with our dog Ellie and our cats! You could tell she really cared about our animals and took the stress of leaving them alone off of our plates. We will book with her again!”

“Halligan was so awesome and took care of our puppy this week. I got multiple updates, photos AND videos. It was so reassuring to know that Luna was with someone very caring and dependable. It made going on a work trip that much easier. Thank you, Halligan, so much! <3”
“We will book with Molly again! Our fur babies had to stay with her for 2 days/1 night Molly was amazing with our babies Perrito and Gregorny. We had to find a dogsitter last minute and we found her. The day before we needed a sitter, she offered to do a quick meet and greet to see if Perrito and Gregorny would get along with Skyy (Molly's 3 yr old pet) and it went well. During Perrito and Gregorny's stay at her place, she kept us updated and sent us pictures! It was great knowing that they are all warming up to her, our babies can get pretty shy and easily get scared. I believe they also warmed up with Skyy eventually. Thanks again, Molly!!! 🫶🏽”
“This was my first time having my boy stay at Judy’s and I really appreciated all the contact I had with them all week. She sent lots of photos and updates, I think he’ll be bored silly back home with me! Thank you for taking such good care and making me feel comfortable as well! Beats being in a 3x6 cage all day at a kennel. So glad my Sister recommended Rover to me! Thank you Judy and Team!!”
