“Erin and family are the best. Wesley had a great time with them and got a new buddy Willow out of the deal. For sure will use Erin again. She had great communication and updated us everyday of Wes’s day.”
“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! 😀”
“Chelsea is Simply Awesome!! She loved on our 2 puppies for a long 10 days while our family enjoyed a very needed vacation. She sent pics and videos each day while we were away!! She was there to comfort our pups when they missed us❤️ We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our pups were in Great hands!! We will be looking up Chelsea for all of our future needs!! Thank you, Chelsea❤️”
“Lisa was amazing! Best rover experience I’ve ever had!! She went above and beyond while my new wife and I got married. She brought our dogs to our picture location even though we were almost an hour late. She is incredible and I highly recommend anyone in the area to book Lisa!”
“Beth took in Nala after our original plans fell through and everything went wonderful. She kept us updated throughout our stay and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable. They treated Nala like she was their own. She came home happy! Will book again without hesitation. Highly recommended.”
“Cheryl & Josh did a great job taking care of my dog for the weekend. We met first for a “meet & greet” which set me at ease & they were very thorough in explaining their process, experience, how they handle new dogs, taking care of multiple dogs & in detailing what they needed from me for the stay. During the stay, instructions for the drop off & pick up were very clear, communication was prompt & I received updates & photos both days. I would recommend Cheryl & Josh for dog boarding.”
“This is the first time I have left my puppy (4 months old) and Mary did a great job. I was pleased that she would watch a puppy, many places or people wouldn't. We will definitely use her again.”
“Amber was amazing! Her and her family helped take great care of my 3 month old pup for a few days while we were in the process of moving. She was super accommodating and helpful, taking him in just hours after us contacting her very last minute while stressed trying to figure out what to do with him. Taking in his “puppy shenanigans” and all like he was one of her own. Amber made sure to keep me updated about how his was doing helping to ease my mind of having him away from home for the first time. Sending me pictures/videos and messages about how his day was going. She also took the time to make sure that my pup was comfortable and entertained. Taking him on walks and being able to run around and play in the yard. Letting him go at his own pace and doing what made him feel safe when he didn’t like the rain or was was scared by her dog at first (he wasn’t the biggest one around anymore and couldn’t terrorize/annoy every living thing like he normally likes to do). She even went the extra mile to wash his bed after an accident over night and have him and all of his stuff packed up nicely and ready to go for me when I got there. My little boy loved playing with her and her family. And having the other dogs around for him to interact with was a bonus. When I tell you he was so excited when he first met them that I didn’t even get a second look over the shoulder or a goodbye before he took off to play with one of the kids ? (I’m still emotionally processing his betrayal ?). I could not recommend Amber enough! Your pet will be greatly taken care of (Not to mention worn out….he’s been napping since the moment we put him in the car) and all of your worries will fade the moment you get there.”
“Sadie’s was a great pet caregiver to our 4 month old puppy. This was the first time we left him with someone for a few days, and, he loved it! She shared pictures throughout his stay of his playtime and nap time. He was a tired puppy when he came home. He will visit with her again!”
“Jamie was great - excellent communication, was flexible and adjusted times/days accordingly as our travel plans changed. Pets were totally fine when we returned and seemed well exercised, even with poor weather conditions. Would recommend and will hire again!”
“Kayla was responsive when communicating w/us including pictures of our pet throughout her stay to assure us our pup was in good hands. She accommodated our dogs separation anxiety needs and was able to make our pup feel comfortable during her short stay. Recommend.”
“Cari and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Russell. He got lots of walks, plenty of play time, and tons of snuggles. He especially liked playing with the girls. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, birds, turtles, lizards, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I have experience with temperamental or reactive animals as well. Animals are my passion and both friends and family know they can rely on me to provide exceptional care, love and respect to their fur babies while they are away. No animal is too big or too small! I am currently unemployed and in the job searching process so I have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether you need dog walking services or in-home care I can more than likely make it work for your needs! I have a beagle/boxer mix who gets daily walks and has a big fenced in yard to enjoy at our home. I also have two cats, a classic brown tabby and a petite tuxedo girly. We are unique as we bring all of our animals camping so they get to experience the outdoors with us! My animals are treated like my children and part of the family which is exactly how I would treat yours. I honestly prefer animals over humans.
“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.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and am now a proud owner for the past 1.5 years! I’m around 1-2 times throughout a typical work day to let my puppy out. She rules this house so no furniture or beds are off limits, which is extended to all the dogs that come into my home (I’ve recently become the extended family dog sitter due to my work schedule). Monday’s-Thursdays I am home 1-2 times during the typical work day for about a half hour each time. Fridays and weekends I’m typically home most of the day, maybe running errands here and there. Allie rules the house here! She is allowed on furniture and beds and this would extend to your baby too. We spend a lot of time outside with water always available and I’m always out with her. We have tons of toys and she doesn’t mind sharing them.
About: Hi! My name is Ryaan, and I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. Animals have always been a huge part of my family, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I also worked for several years at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic care, supervising playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Your pet will be treated like family in my care! 🐾 I currently have just a few 1 hour classes a week on just Mondays and Wednesdays and am home for the most part otherwise making me available for your pets. -fenced in yard -home frequently -able to provide long walks and lots of playtime -safe home (mostly pet proofed) -stairs are needed to be taken to get up to the house and down to the backyard
“Christiana and her family took excellent care of Nola while we were away. She sent daily pics & updates which made us feel at ease that Nola was being well taken care of and enjoying her stay. We will definitely have Nola stay again! ❤️”
“Refine and her family were great hosts! Communication was great and I felt comfortable leaving Blaze with them! If Blaze gets better with potty training I would love for them to keep him again! He was wore out coming home this morning for sure!”

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: Grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. Started pet and house sitting in my early teen years for dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as cats, fish and turtles. Additionally, I have a degree in animal and dairy science and spent half a year as a veterinary assistant at a clinic. I work a full- time job that is typically 8am-4:30pm with some earlier mornings and nights as needed. But schedule can be somewhat flexible to fit your needs! I’d love to care for whatever your pet needs, walking, playing, feeding or just spend some time with them. I’m comfortable taking care of any special needs for your pets as well such as treats, meds, crating etc. and always making sure they are safe, secure and well taken care of!
“Tammy was able to care for our cats with no issues. Weather was very hot when she cared for them and communicated with me about the temperature in the house and asked permission to open windows. Would definitely hire again.”

About: With around five years of hands-on experience in dog care, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how to give dogs the attention, patience, and love they deserve. For three years, I walked and sat for a dog every other day for elderly owners, which taught me how to connect with dogs of all temperaments and needs. In addition, I’ve raised my own Golden Doodle from 8 weeks old to 1.5 years. It wasn’t always easy, but through calmness, steady emotions, and consistent training, I’ve shaped her into the most loving, gentle, and sweet dog I know. I understand the importance of being gentle and patient, staying calm even in challenging situations, and creating a stress-free environment for dogs so they feel safe and comfortable. With me, your dog will get the best care possible, built on experience and a true passion for their well-being. As someone who manages an outdoor pool, my schedule is structured around peak hours, but I’ve found a perfect balance to incorporate pet care into my routine. I have flexibility during the early mornings, evenings, and off-peak hours, which allows me to give your dog the attention they deserve. Whether it’s taking them for walks, playing in the yard, or simply providing companionship, I make sure that pet care fits seamlessly into my day. My commitment to providing reliable and loving care never interferes with my responsibilities as a pool manager, as I’ve carefully arranged my schedule to meet both needs. Rest assured, your dog will receive the best of both worlds! When caring for your pet, whether in my home or yours, safety, trust, and environment are my top priorities. I always ensure a secure space, free from hazards, and follow all instructions regarding your dog’s routine, medications, and preferences to keep them comfortable and safe. I understand the trust you place in me, and I’m committed to building a strong relationship with your dog, treating them with the same love and care I would give my own. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm and enjoyable environment, providing plenty of outdoor playtime and relaxation. My goal is to ensure your dog feels happy, secure, and loved, whether they’re in the comfort of their own home or mine. If they were to be at my home, they would get a very friendly play mate (my Goldendoodle 😊).
“This was my first time using any at home pet sitting service. I have one cat. Courtney did an awesome job watching my Sophie! Her drop in times were right on, and she and Sophie got along great! I would definitely recommend Courtney. She's awesome!”
“Bella took care of Lucina on very short notice, and kept her happy, fed, and entertained as best as a drop in visit could do. She would be my first choice if I ever need a cat sitter again and I'd recommend her to anyone!”
About: I am eager to learn your dog and build a long lasting relationship! I enjoy training in a fun manner, and having dog parties! I do foster care with a local rescue, which has given me experience in so many different types of dogs, and different histories of where they came from. Full success in every dog that has come into my care. I do work full time during the day, Monday thru Friday. I am open to boarding during that time if we see fit. My weekends are wide open for all the dog love needed! I have a fenced in yard, but still usually attend to the dogs anyway, unless it’s too cold, I’ll watch from the door! I have a very dog friendly dog myself that has become accustomed to meeting new dogs and respecting their boundaries.
“Yolanda was wonderful. Very thorough. I wasn't afraid at all because I knew she'd be there to take care of KIDDEY! I would definitely suggest Rover to a friend and have them choose Yolanda”
About: I used to be a certified veterinary technician in Wisconsin and moved to California in July 2019. I have a lot of experience working with dogs and I used to dog sit for some friends over night when I was in college. I grew up with several animals and am an absolute animal lover. Nothing is better than snuggling up and loving animals. I worked as a kennel assistant for a year before becoming a vet tech. I've handled multiple dogs at a time before and love playing with them all. I love all types of dogs and getting them active. I am available at all times of day. I can do over night stays to take care of your fur baby. I will take all the pictures you’d like to keep you updated about your pets stay. With my experience in a vet clinic I've learned to handle all ages, sizes, and different health issues of pets. I am currently a full time student but all of my classes are online so I’m home full time. So your pet won’t be home alone for long during the week. When your pets stay with me they’ll be able to play with my two huskies also. They are great with all pups and know when to give them a break and when to keep playing. I can't wait to make your fur baby feel at home! I’m currently unemployed so your pets will have plenty of attention and play time with me. They’ll have a great balance of play and relaxation. I have a fenced yard and two dogs to keep your pet company. They will get a ton of exercise with these two but they’ll also get a lot of snuggles and love too.

About: I provide reliable, attentive care for dogs at every stage of life—from active adult dogs to seniors (up to 15+ years old). Every dog is different, so I tailor each visit to match their energy level, personality, and needs. For active dogs, I offer engaging, high-energy walks designed to burn off energy, reduce stress, and keep them mentally stimulated. I’m comfortable handling strong or high-energy dogs and making sure they get the exercise they need. For senior dogs, I take a calm and patient approach—focusing on comfort, slower-paced walks, and close attention to mobility and well-being. I understand how important it is to move at their pace while still keeping them happy and engaged. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and trust. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know your dog is in good hands. As a stay-at-home mom with a 3-year-old, I’m home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, consistent walks, and plenty of attention for your dog. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods—I’m available for regular outdoor time, play, and check-ins throughout the day. Whether your dog needs multiple walks, structured routines, or just extra companionship, I’m able to accommodate their needs. My daily routine is active and consistent, making it a great fit for dogs who benefit from frequent movement, supervision, and a reliable environment. Your dog will be cared for in a safe, loving home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and consistent care. We’re a very affectionate household—your dog can expect lots of pets, cuddles, and companionship from both me and my toddler (always supervised). I also have an older, friendly dog who enjoys meeting new friends and playing, but I can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone is comfortable. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine closely and can crate if requested. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority.

About: Hello! My name is Sadie. I’m a board certified behavior analyst who works with children on the Autism Spectrum. I have a soft spot in my heart for all animals- I was that child that stepped over ants to avoid squishing them. I grew up with a Springer Spaniel, cats, and a rabbit (: I currently have 3 cats, Nimi, Gizmo, Figarro, and a dog named Perci. Additionally, I have experience caring for ferrets, goats, sheep, and fish. I’ll treat your animals as my own, and show them endless love and care. I’m super excited to meet you and your animals! I currently work full time M-F, but do make my own schedule. I see a lot of my clients either before or after work. I also have weekends off! Meet and greets are important to me for boarding to ensure it’s a good fit for your dog. However, I understand if it is not feasible. I have a dog and 3 cats who are free to roam the house and are allowed on furniture. My dog sleeps with me so yours is more than welcome to join the snuggle party! I also have a daughter (3 years old) who loves her animals, so your fur baby will get lots of love from all of us.
“Highly recommend Chelsea! She was very easy to communicate with and was able to take Voss on short notice when we had to be in town unexpectedly. My dog had a fun day playing with her dogs in the fenced back yard and house. She even trimmed his nails for us which was really great. We’ll be back if we need care in Oshkosh again!”
“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.”
“Preslie and her family were amazing and took such good care of our Ruby! They were so warm and welcoming, attentive and communicative. Our puppy came home happy and exhausted from all the fun playing with Kaiya. Highly recommend”
About: Although new to Rover as a sitter, we've used Rover frequently for our boys. I've had pets (cats, dogs, fish) ever since I was 14. I don't have special certs but have done puppy classes and have successfully trained our dogs since! One being a Shiba Inu if you know how stubborn they are 😉. I currently have two bernese mountain dogs and love furry friends from small to extra large! I've done drop ins and in home in the past. Im currently mostly a SAHM! I am a RN but only work 16hrs a month. I will have ample time to be at home with all pets. I have a fenced yard (6ft chain linked) and two neutered boys to keep your pets company. I can also always go for walks, fill a small kiddie pool for the dogs to play in, and whatever else your pup enjoys! I can crate as well if need be and tons of pictures can and will always be sent.
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Don for doggy daycare. He sends photo and video updates throughout the day and takes time to ensure my dog is having fun at him home! There is lots of space for him to run and play outside. Don is the best when it comes to communicating and caring for my pup.”
“Emily accommodated us when our plans had to change suddenly and we needed someone to watch our pups for several hours. Her directions were great and she greeted us right away with a smile. The pups were comfortable to walk away from us with her which says a lot. She cleared the hike in advance and kept in touch with us. The boys were happy and mellow when we met to pick them and she was very understanding about their sometimes car sickness. We’d definitely recommend her as she was great with our pups and they can sometimes be a handful.”
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life and I've had my first (adult life) dog for three and a half year. Wila Rose is an Australian Cattle Dog mix. About a year and a half ago we added another rescue, Buckley Quinn. He is a smart but goofy boy. They both go backpacking with us and we do a lot of hiking on our local public land areas. We enjoy playing around in our yard with our limited dog agility set and learning new tricks. We occasionally go swimming but love jumping and exploring new water areas and hiking trails. Wila and Buckley are a huge part of my life. We enjoy hiking, being outdoor, and traveling as much as possible. We do quite a but of training included but not limited to: agility, scent training, shed training, and just some fun party tricks. I am new to Rover so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I have an acre of land (not fenced in). We love to go on walks and sniffaris at our local parks. Buckley loved to play with other dogs and Wila is more of a people dog. They even loves to go backpacking and hiking which often include 10+ miles a day.
About: Hi there! I have had raised dogs and cats since the age of about 12.

“Mary Is A Saint . I Needed A Last Minute Sitter For Bloom & She Accommodated Me . She Loves & Cares For Bloom Like She Was Her Own & I Am Forever Grateful . I Can Tell That Bloom Loves Being Around Her . Mary Energy Is Unmatched . I Highly Recommend ❤️”
About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets since I was 12 which includes staying overnight at their homes when they are gone for weeks. I do long and short care sitting for pets. I love to spend time with pets and making sure they get the care they deserve. I am currently not working right now but will have a part time job soon. I will talk with the owners and work out a good schedule that will work best for all. Growing up we have used an invisible fence and radio collars to keep our dogs in our yard. We made sure to check in on them periodically while they were outside. While I'm taking care of my friends pets, I would play inside and outside with them, go on walks with them, and make sure they get the best care.
About: I have over 10 years pet care experience, 7 of which I have been specifically focusing on dog training. Understanding the minds of dogs and how they think requires a degree of skill and patience, along with consistent application of training techniques. This knowledge of how dogs thinks, interact, and behave helps in every aspect of dog care in itself. It makes every individual pet special because dogs have their own unique personalities, and being able to tap into that and create a bond is different from dog to dog. This is one of the best parts of taking care of people’s pets! Any of your specific needs and accommodations will be met and/or exceeded when in my care, guaranteed! I am a journeyman lineman and I work 4 days a week. Aside from that I own a dog training business where I train dogs on weekends. My wife Teal is home every day for any assistance in care for your dogs and we are both committed to giving the most comfortable and enjoyable stay for your dogs! Trusting someone with these members of our family can be stressful and hard to do at times. I understand better than anyone that giving my pets up to someone can be a daunting task. We need to trust our pets are given the same care they get at home and are loved like one of our own. In this household we have 1 cat and 2 dogs. There is nothing more important than treating your dog equally as good as one of our own. Between my wife and myself the pets we care for will receive our undivided attention and compassion. We incorporate tons of engagement and interactive play time. We are sure to see that these pets aren’t just alone and disregarded. My wife and myself strive to have an environment where animals can have a stress free and fun loving home to reside in until their owners make it back to them. Rest assured that I have been caring for dogs for many years, and training dogs for close to 7 now. You will not find a more loving and compassionate place for your dog than right here!
About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life. I have most experience with medium large to giant breeds. I currently have a lab (8 years old) and a Newfoundland mix puppy (1 year). I have foster dogs in the past, and watched others dogs for an extended period of time and I love all types of breeds. But Big dogs have my heart. Your dogs will be pampered and can be on the couch, bed, or dog bed. We have an enclosed deck perfect for sun bathing pooches or those who love to sit in the cold (like my Newfoundland). Potty breaks will be leashed to ensure the safety of your beloved dog. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible on how to care for a dog. Unlimited potty breaks if needed. Live in a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks. I can provide a pick up and drop off service if you need it. Any dog in my home will be treated as if they were my own. Dog safety and comfortability is my number one priority. They can play all day while you’re away. Your dogs will be pampered and can be on the couch, bed, or dog bed. All new clients must agree to a meet and greet prior to me confirming a booking.

About: My family has had a dog since I was younger and I currently have a mini goldendoodle. I understand how keeping dogs happy and cared for is vital to ‘owners.’ I have a very flexible and open schedule! I like to take my own dog for longer walks to get energy out and relax our minds together. I love playing with them so they’re not just sitting around unhappy. It’s important to me to make sure all of their needs are met as I believe this affects longevity and overall well-being.
About: As far as experience goes there isn’t a time in my life I remember that I wasn’t caring for an animal. From reptiles, to rodents, to cats and dogs, I’ve had them all. From a young age I was taught responsibility and discipline when it came to caring for tiny creatures. Additionally for over two years I volunteered weekly at a local animal shelter. During this time I gained knowledge as to how animals interacted with one another, how to properly administer medication, warning signs to look out for, what to do in emergencies, and deeply studied animal behavior. To add on to that I am currently employed at a doggie daycare. During my time here not only have I gotten to widen my horizons when it came to taking care of animals but I have learned hands on how to bandage a wound, what to do in animal confrontations as well as how to handle the unexpected such as sickness or seizures. Additionally over the last 3 years I have volunteered at different animal welfare programs across the globe. These include Portugal, Puerto Rico, Tanzania and soon Hawaii. During this time I have not only seen hands on other cultures way of taking care of animals but also gained knowledge as to how to better the animal care I provide to clients. As I previously stated I currently am employed at a doggie daycare. Additionally I work at a bakery as well. My schedule changes weekly so it can be hard to give an exact time frame when booking. Typically I work up to 8 hour shifts. I typically prefer to stay in clients homes to keep their pets safe and happy in their own environment. I will be there in the morning before work, and will immediately come back when I get off as well as being there at night. I try to spend as much time as possible with the pets while you are away I typically only offer staying in the clients home and I am comfortable crating animals while gone. I always keep things like medications safely out of reach and secured. Additionally upon booking I typically ask about any health notes, allergies, or special needs as well as a good contact number for your vet in case of emergency.
About: “God speaks to the creatures through the creatures.” -Dr. Chase. “All you need is love.” -John Lennon. Plenty of love I have to give, but I also have the experience of 35 years as a science teacher. I’m well-versed in how animals like dogs and cats talk to us through their gestures. Dogs evolved with humans, and I understand that relationship and how dogs meet our emotional needs. Please read my first four reviews which I received from pet owners that I served even before signing up with Rover. The pet owner decides when treats are allowed, if table scraps are allowed, and how much food to give. The dog decides when it wants to go potty. 😉 Just in case, I usually take the dog out before it decides and always before any discomfort. Snuggles welcome. 🐾🥰😻 When serving you and your pet, I like to send pictures. We can also use FaceTime or Zoom to check in. 🐶🤩 At age 61, I’ve been a retired teacher for 3 years, and my activity level allows me to run or play with your beloved dog. In your home, I follow instructions and do the routine for your beloved just like you would. However, if I’m allowed to give more snuggles, or more walks, or more training than you normally have time for, I’m at your service.
About: Hi! My name is Ryaan, and I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. Animals have always been a huge part of my family, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I also worked for several years at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic care, supervising playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Your pet will be treated like family in my care! 🐾 I currently have just a few 1 hour classes a week on just Mondays and Wednesdays and am home for the most part otherwise making me available for your pets. -fenced in yard -home frequently -able to provide long walks and lots of playtime -safe home (mostly pet proofed) -stairs are needed to be taken to get up to the house and down to the backyard
About: I have grown up around cats and dogs my entire life. I enjoy spending time taking care of others. I am patient and compassionate, your pets well-being will be my #1 priority. I work part time as a CNA in a long term care facility. I am also attending college part time to purse a career in nursing. Over the years I have cared for numerous of my own cats and dogs. Simply by spending quality time with them every day, walking my dogs and cuddling with my cats. I know the importance of spending time with animals and I understand their basic everyday needs.
“I did not know what to expect, being the first time I contacted a dog walker through Rover. Jessica exceeded all my expectations. She did a fantastic job with taking our dog out for 2 different walks (much longer than I expected) throughout the day. We appreciated the many updates; when she started and ended, during the walks, the pictures, messages, and the summary at the end. I would highly recommend her.”
About: Hi, my name is Kayla. I am a photographer and caregiver. I am a very compassionate and patient person. I have always been a big animal lover. I have owned multiple dogs throughout my life and many other types of animals. I love to be active and outdoors. I have a big open back yard for your dog to run around in. I also am knowledgeable with dogs that have separation anxiety.Leaving you're pet with me is like leaving your pet at a Royal Castle for animals. I promise I will love and spoil your baby. I currently only work as a photographer so I have an open and adjustable schedule. I get to make my own schedule and work with my clients. I have a big yard for your dog to play in. I also have a dog that love to play and tire each other out. I have two large crates if dogs need to be crated.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, growing up with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, and even a tarantula, animals have always been such an important part of my life. Even though they can’t talk, they quickly become your best friend and constant companion. I believe every animal deserves to be treated with love, kindness, and the best care possible, no matter their age, size, or breed. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with everything from training playful puppies to helping care for senior dogs, including giving medications and basic health care. I also adopted my two kittens when they were just four months old, and they’re now happy, healthy three-and-a-half-year-olds. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly enjoy. Hi there! I’m new to Mayville and have open availability to walk, play with, and care for your furry loved ones. I always make sure fresh food and clean water are provided, with bowls cleaned regularly to keep everything sanitary. Whether it’s brushing, playing fetch, going on nice long walks, or just giving them lots of attention and love—your pet’s happiness and care are my top priority! I make sure that my cats home environment is safe for them to roam and not get into too much mischief. Water bowls are cleaned. Food is rotated. Pee pads are changed out and litter is changed once a month while cleaning litter box out daily. I am sure that my cats live in a safe environment and are happy and healthy.
About: Let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, or behaviors that I can account for or help with. I would love to help. If you have plants that need watering, mail, or packages that need to be brought in, I can help with that too! I'm retired and love traveling around Wisconsin and the world. Slow traveling is my favorite. I can explore new neighborhoods, cities, and local attractions without being rushed. I will follow your directions for your house and loved ones. Let me know the extra duties like watering, mail, or garbage routine. The house is left cleaner than I found it.
“Lensy is so wonderful! She’s consistently communicative and sends such fun photos. Absolutely incredible to have her care for Petey & shows above and beyond consideration for both my pets :) Look forward to having her walk again!”
About: I have had a dog for 12 years and do dog sitting on occasion. I love dogs and will take care of your dog as if it were my own! We can go for walks, runs, or just take a nap depending on what your dog enjoys. My goal is for both you and your furry friend to be happy. No dog is too big, no dog is too small as long as their tail is wagging I can dogsit them all! I love all dogs and would love to take care of your pet! I can assure they’ll have a great time and come back with wagging tails and happy smiles (maybe some drool too). Pick me to watch your dog and everyone will be happy! (: I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pups! Always ready to go for a walk whenever needed! I have two dogs at home so I know just how badly one occasionally needs a walk! Both of my dogs are relatively large so no matter the size I’m ready to accompany your pup on a walk!
About: I've cared for puppies and senior dogs alike. I've been taking care of dogs my entire life and I am familiar with all breeds. From Daschund to German Shepherd I have been with them all. I currently even own a very well trained Dachshund and shes almost 2 I'm available most everyday rain or shine. I am very attentive and capable of taking care of most any dog. I always take the necessary time to care for a dog as they need it and when they need it I don't offer this service, but I am willing to take care of your pets in your home at any time that you may need it.
About: I’ve grown up raising 2 toy poodles from my childhood. Now as an adult I adopted my first dog of my own, Mabel, who is an 5yr old lab! I also have horses, so have been around all sorts of animals my whole life. Love any and all sizes and breeds of pups! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible and can do last minute/short notice requests no problem! If you need me to spend a little more time with your pet, I can easily bring my work computer with me. I would treat your home as my own. Follow any/all rules you may have as well as rules for your pet. My dog is crate trained when away so I am comfortable having anything to do around crating.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and am now a proud owner for the past 1.5 years! I’m around 1-2 times throughout a typical work day to let my puppy out. She rules this house so no furniture or beds are off limits, which is extended to all the dogs that come into my home (I’ve recently become the extended family dog sitter due to my work schedule). Monday’s-Thursdays I am home 1-2 times during the typical work day for about a half hour each time. Fridays and weekends I’m typically home most of the day, maybe running errands here and there. Allie rules the house here! She is allowed on furniture and beds and this would extend to your baby too. We spend a lot of time outside with water always available and I’m always out with her. We have tons of toys and she doesn’t mind sharing them.
About: I am eager to learn your dog and build a long lasting relationship! I enjoy training in a fun manner, and having dog parties! I do foster care with a local rescue, which has given me experience in so many different types of dogs, and different histories of where they came from. Full success in every dog that has come into my care. I do work full time during the day, Monday thru Friday. I am open to boarding during that time if we see fit. My weekends are wide open for all the dog love needed! I have a fenced in yard, but still usually attend to the dogs anyway, unless it’s too cold, I’ll watch from the door! I have a very dog friendly dog myself that has become accustomed to meeting new dogs and respecting their boundaries.

“Erin and family are the best. Wesley had a great time with them and got a new buddy Willow out of the deal. For sure will use Erin again. She had great communication and updated us everyday of Wes’s day.”
“Chelsea is Simply Awesome!! She loved on our 2 puppies for a long 10 days while our family enjoyed a very needed vacation. She sent pics and videos each day while we were away!! She was there to comfort our pups when they missed us❤️ We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our pups were in Great hands!! We will be looking up Chelsea for all of our future needs!! Thank you, Chelsea❤️”
“Lisa was amazing! Best rover experience I’ve ever had!! She went above and beyond while my new wife and I got married. She brought our dogs to our picture location even though we were almost an hour late. She is incredible and I highly recommend anyone in the area to book Lisa!”
“Beth took in Nala after our original plans fell through and everything went wonderful. She kept us updated throughout our stay and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable. They treated Nala like she was their own. She came home happy! Will book again without hesitation. Highly recommended.”
“Cheryl & Josh did a great job taking care of my dog for the weekend. We met first for a “meet & greet” which set me at ease & they were very thorough in explaining their process, experience, how they handle new dogs, taking care of multiple dogs & in detailing what they needed from me for the stay. During the stay, instructions for the drop off & pick up were very clear, communication was prompt & I received updates & photos both days. I would recommend Cheryl & Josh for dog boarding.”
“Amber was amazing! Her and her family helped take great care of my 3 month old pup for a few days while we were in the process of moving. She was super accommodating and helpful, taking him in just hours after us contacting her very last minute while stressed trying to figure out what to do with him. Taking in his “puppy shenanigans” and all like he was one of her own. Amber made sure to keep me updated about how his was doing helping to ease my mind of having him away from home for the first time. Sending me pictures/videos and messages about how his day was going. She also took the time to make sure that my pup was comfortable and entertained. Taking him on walks and being able to run around and play in the yard. Letting him go at his own pace and doing what made him feel safe when he didn’t like the rain or was was scared by her dog at first (he wasn’t the biggest one around anymore and couldn’t terrorize/annoy every living thing like he normally likes to do). She even went the extra mile to wash his bed after an accident over night and have him and all of his stuff packed up nicely and ready to go for me when I got there. My little boy loved playing with her and her family. And having the other dogs around for him to interact with was a bonus. When I tell you he was so excited when he first met them that I didn’t even get a second look over the shoulder or a goodbye before he took off to play with one of the kids ? (I’m still emotionally processing his betrayal ?). I could not recommend Amber enough! Your pet will be greatly taken care of (Not to mention worn out….he’s been napping since the moment we put him in the car) and all of your worries will fade the moment you get there.”
“Jamie was great - excellent communication, was flexible and adjusted times/days accordingly as our travel plans changed. Pets were totally fine when we returned and seemed well exercised, even with poor weather conditions. Would recommend and will hire again!”
“Kayla was responsive when communicating w/us including pictures of our pet throughout her stay to assure us our pup was in good hands. She accommodated our dogs separation anxiety needs and was able to make our pup feel comfortable during her short stay. Recommend.”
“Cari and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Russell. He got lots of walks, plenty of play time, and tons of snuggles. He especially liked playing with the girls. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, birds, turtles, lizards, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I have experience with temperamental or reactive animals as well. Animals are my passion and both friends and family know they can rely on me to provide exceptional care, love and respect to their fur babies while they are away. No animal is too big or too small! I am currently unemployed and in the job searching process so I have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether you need dog walking services or in-home care I can more than likely make it work for your needs! I have a beagle/boxer mix who gets daily walks and has a big fenced in yard to enjoy at our home. I also have two cats, a classic brown tabby and a petite tuxedo girly. We are unique as we bring all of our animals camping so they get to experience the outdoors with us! My animals are treated like my children and part of the family which is exactly how I would treat yours. I honestly prefer animals over humans.
“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.”

“Christiana and her family took excellent care of Nola while we were away. She sent daily pics & updates which made us feel at ease that Nola was being well taken care of and enjoying her stay. We will definitely have Nola stay again! ❤️”
“Kathleen was absolutely fantastic we had never used rover before so we were a little nervous at first. Kathleen quickly put us at ease and communicated regularly throughout the days. Both our dogs had a great time and were asleep before we got home. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 8, it started with a cat and grew to dogs and snakes and more, working with animals is my dream job. I work factory Monday through Friday but Friday night into Sunday I am available for pet care. I have 2 cats and a dog at my own home, but I am more than happy to dog sit at others homes. I make sure my cats litter boxes are kept clean, I keep their food bowls filled, and I keep their water filled. I walk my dog a lot and I take her out every couple hours to use the bathroom.
“Ryan did an excellent job taking care of our English Shepard Tina. He exercised her and sent pics showing how comfortable she was staying with Ryan and his dog. I'd recommend Ryan to all.”
“Cierria was fantastic. Took such good care of our lab and made sure to send pictures and updates. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Their two dogs were very playful and our dog loved playing with them.”
“My two labs, Ghost and Grogu enjoyed their stay with Dan. Dan was very accommodating to ensure they were content and happy. This was my puppy's first experience with a ROVER experience so I was thankful that Dan made it easy on her and she had fun. When I picked up the girls they were both very excited and full of energy...they were well taken care of. Dan works remotely for his day job - so he was able to take the girls out frequently. I would highly recommend Dan if you have a pup that needs a place to stay while you are away...he's great!”
“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!”
