“Tammie is always great with my pups! She is their happy home away from home. Great care, great sitter, great people. I wouldn’t want to take my girls anywhere else for extended care.😊”
“Morgan was amazing! She was very flexible with our timing needs, and so excited to care for Panzer. I appreciated the picture she sent about 2 hours into the day. I relaxed, knowing our dog was fitting in, and not stressed about missing us. Actually, I’m sure he was kept so busy he didn’t have a chance to miss us. Highly recommend Morgan!”
“It was our first time using a dog sitter (so that was nerve wracking enough) but the process was such a breeze. We went with Christy due to her experience and stellar reviews and both did not disappoint! Christy was great with our puppy - she was in constant communication with us, sent us videos and pictures without asking and even accommodated our late arrival into town by dropping off our puppy at OUR home. We would definitely request her service again for any future needs! PS - extra kudos for having a fenced in yard (took away so many worries for our 7 month old puppy) and our little guy got along wonderfully with her dog Cooper (our guy had a friend to play with the whole weekend!!)”
“Xao was AMAZING?!! She took care of my Skyy extremely well!! I was so pleased with all the pics and videos I rec'd bc they showed my fur baby so happy! It was an awesome plus she had small fur babies as well bc now they are friends?! The attention Skyy rec'd was phenomenal and again the special care displayed was appreciated and EVERYTIME I travel without Skyy I know she will be in the best care with XAO?...THANK YOU Rover for having a true fur baby professional on your site☺️...”
“We were extremely pleased with Brandi! She took such great care of Oakley for us and even gave Oakley her own special Thanksgiving dinner! We loved the pictures sent and the texts about how Oakley was doing! I’m happy we booked with Brandi again!”
“Kara and Ben took great care of our dog, and on short notice! We appreciated their daily updates and photos. Our dog had a great time with their family! We would highly recommend Kara and Ben.”
“Bethany was so good with our lil Gertie! Gertie is usually pretty shy with new people but Bethany got her out of her shell! She sent pictures and updates. Gertie had so much fun!”
“Luna absolutely loved staying with Colleen. Colleen took great care of her, kept us updated with photos and videos, and was very flexible with us. We will definitely be using her again!!”
“Jennifer was great to work with! This is the first time I’ve used any type of boarding service, and she made it easy and made me feel comfortable with everything. I could tell she has a lot of experience with dogs and was confident everything was going to be fine. I look forward to working with her again!”
“Randee was great with Louie! We will not hesitate to have Louie stay with Randee again. Randee was very accommodating and understanding when we had to adjust some drop off and arrival times.”
About: Taking walks around my pond, lots of cuddles, and play will be enjoyed at my home. Open to working with your feeding schedule preferences for your pet. Weekends, I will be home more to play and cuddle. I work outside of home during the week, but in the evenings I will have lots of time to play and have fun. If you have a crate, I would love for you to bring it for the dog. This way, if I am sitting with multiple pets while I'm gone, they are safe. Also, I will always have a leash in my complex.
“Andrea was wonderful. My dog Gracie has severe anxiety and it wasn’t going to work, unfortunately. I ended up having to leave work and take her home. I felt bad for Andrea, but she reassured me she was fine with everything. Some dogs just don’t do well in other people’s homes. Anita”
“Eleanor loved staying with Laurie again. She takes wonderful care of dogs and sends pictures/updates! I can tell that she really cares about the animals when they are staying with her and wants them to be so comfortable…Thank you again!”
About: Hello! My name is Elicia and I have been around animals my entire life. I currently have 3 dogs (4 including my husband 😂) Doug, Cooper and Nala. I love to spend time with animals, and know the struggle of finding someone trust worthy to take care of your kids! I have great references, and am pretty flexible when it comes to the needs and care of you and your pets. I promise to love on them and treat them as if they were my own, no matter how big or how small! I am also open to discussing payment options as well - I am here to work with you and your babies! Looking forward to chatting with you! I have a full time job, 7a-4p Monday - Friday in Wausau. I have the option to work from home 1 day a week if needed, but cannot work from home on Mondays or Fridays. If you’re located close enough to my employer I can let your pets out at lunch! I currently have no restrictions when it comes to caring for pets. I have cared for puppies all the way to elderly dogs. I have no allergies, so nothing to worry about there! I can take them for walks, to the dog park, and am willing to do everything I can to keep them on their schedule and stress free!
“Leora was very good with our fur baby while we went on a 7 day vacation . We got daily picture updates which the kids were always looking forward to and he looked happy. I definitely recommend Leora and will use her again.”
“Taylor was an outstanding host. She took such good care of, hook. She was very responsive and shared everything about his day. She did an amazing job keeping him happy and occupied. I would recommend her to everyone. Thank you so much.”

“Jesika went above and beyond for our Abby Lou. In the past, if someone struggled to give Abby her medicine, they would give up and say sorry there’s nothing I can do and we’d be struggling to find a last minute sitter while already out of town but not Jesika! She went home and literally cooked a meal to mix her meds in with. 😊 Your pets are in good hands here. 🐾”
“Debora was here today for her first drop-in visit. She was prompt and sent a couple pics as requested. She also left a note for me on how the visit went. My pup and her hit it off great at the meet and greet.”
About: I’ve had four cats throughout my life — both indoor and outdoor — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of kitty personalities and routines! I currently have a sweet senior indoor cat who requires oral medication, so I’m experienced and patient with giving meds and caring for older cats. Whether your kitty is playful, shy, cuddly, or independent, I’m happy to go at their pace and make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. 💕🐾
“We have a nervous girl and it was the first time leaving her while we’re on vacation. By the last visit, our Winnie was taking treats out of Nicole’s hand - she doesn’t even normally do this with me! Nicole provided detailed updates and pictures even when Winnie was hiding.”
About: I grew up having cats as our main pet in our house hold. Whether caring for my own cat, my friends cats or my families cats I have cared for young and old cats. I will give your cats the love and care they need, scratches, play time, meals and litter box cleaning if needed.
About: I’ve always loved animals of all shapes and sizes, and got my pup, Murphy about 3 years ago. Although he’s the family dog I was the main caretaker for him and as a puppy taught him basic commands as well as house trained him. I don’t have much personal experience with cats, however, my grandparents had a few growing up and I always enjoyed simply admiring them or playing with them every time I visited. Additionally, I fostered a kitten for a summer and loved the experience! I’m currently away from home for college and miss hanging out around animals; I would love to show your pet some love <3 I’m currently working part time so I’m available most of the week. I enjoy walks with my boyfriend on local trails and around the neighborhood, so the addition of your pet would be no problem at all! If needed, my apartment is pet friendly, I have no kids, and like to keep my space tidy which makes for a versatile space for all needs. I understand that routine is important and would love to help make that easier for the days where it might not be possible. I also hugely value respect in all aspects whether it’s time, space, overall treatment towards another, etc. I think that’s a crucial way to make not only you as a pet owner feel safe but your pet as well.
“reliable and was communicative about scheduling changes. fulfilled my expectations/requests and somehow even managed to sneak a photo of my socially anxious cat that rarely comes out from the under the couch for strangers.”
About: I've had 7 dogs in my lifetime and have taken care of all of them. Right now I currently have a German Shepard husky mix whom I enjoy running with and playing with all everyday as much as possible. Dogs are just like big fur babies and I love it. I am a online student and mother and a part time worker for now. However I'm flexible to work with any dog any day at any time. I have a outside keenel where my dog stays when we leave the house. And a open backyard with woods. Due to this we usually chain him up so he doesn't run off but as long as we take him to the dog park an hr a day he's good. In my home when I'm there I just lay and cuddle with my dog he's he's big lazy potatoe who enjoys naps more than any person I've met so usually he'll be at my feet everywhere I go and lay down for a nap. At others house I'll do whatever they would like me to do with their dogs if there's a fenced yard then we will be outside playing with their toys so they have their fun exercise and bonding moment with me.

My kids are 3 and 1 and are taking after my animal loving ways. They love to help care for our animals and take care of our daily chores. I live on a quiet road out in the country, we have 7 acres and plenty of room to play! I am very flexible and accommodating and always excited to meet new faces!
About: I have owned horses and dogs my whole life and have a love for animals. I have been watching family friend’s dogs for years and I wanted to get more into pet sitting/walking!

“Nick and his wife took excellent care of my two dogs! They sent pictures with updates throughout the day. I will definitely use them again if the need arises. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
About: I've taking care of dog for a year plus now. My friends and family trust and relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and have their pets stay overnight at my house. My house is especially a good environment for dog because my yard is fenced and the dog have their own furniture and their own room. I'm currently a stay at home dog mom and a bake at home so I have plenty of time to play and walk your pet which I love doing. My yard is fenced and I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company while he/she is here. I have plenty of toys and treats available for the dogs as well.
“Christy has exceeded my expectations in doggy daycare for my fur baby! She has great communication with me and and her experience in dogs has helped me in further training and caring for my pup! She will not disappoint you!”
“Absolutely amazing experience. Lovely family..so animal friendly. Our baby loves going to Morgan's home. She had the ability to learn how to be gentle with littles...run like crazy outside and play nice with other pups”
“Randee was so accommodating. He has a nice area for any dog to get there exercise and sunbathe. Tonka was certainly tired when he came home. We’ll definitely be asking Randee for another play date!”
“Jennifer was AMAZING. She had a mini doggie day care day the day Loki visited, which was great for Loki to have other dogs to play with. It was a rainy day, so there was probably lots of mischief going on inside her house. She sent pictures and videos of his stay with reassuring words as this was the first time we used Rover. When i picked him up he was somewhat happy to see me, yet looked back as if he wanted to stay longer to play with his new friends and human. We will definitely have Jennifer take care of Loki in the future.”
“Great experience, Brandi was able to accommodate my Velvet in short notice when we needed it the most, sent picture updates regularly and that made me feel more comfortable, also Velvet liked going back there which means Velvet enjoyed it too.”
“Can not say enough positives about Craig. He was so flexible and accommodating with our changing plans. He took excellent care of Hamlet and sent frequent pictures and updates. He gave our dog so much attention and exercise. Book with him if you have the chance!”
About: Having grown up on a farm, I have been around dogs and other animals all of my life. I love all animals and have a special fondness for dogs. I will treat your dog like my own. Please let me know about any special needs your dog has, from dietary restrictions to behavioral concerns-I am very accommodating and will do my best to make the transition from your house to mine as seamless as possible and would like your help in understanding how best to do that for your dog.

I also live on 80 acres with plenty of walking trails in the woods, well-managed fields, and even a small pond.

If you request that I take them out on the walking trails, I do ask that your pets have tick medication on them.

About: I have cared for many dogs over the years young and old. Whether they are my own, my friends, my families or my neighbors I will provide your dogs with loving care! I will give your dogs play time, pets and belly rubs, walks, meals and love. I am a nurse as my primary job however my job allows me to spend my days off and most weekends off with your pets! I have two dogs at home one puppy that sleeps in his kennel at night and when we are at work. So if your dog needs to be kenneled when no one is at home I am very capable to do so. We also have a 5 year old dog who gets kenneled when we are not home otherwise he gets to sleep by us at night. Both our dogs are out and about playing inside or outside while we are home and we walk our dogs every evening. We also have a cat who is an inside cat who gets lots of play time and belly rubs.
“Erik has been wonderful. He is available during my last minute lunch meetings, or pop up events, to let my puppy out and stretch her legs during a walk. She was shy on the leash when I first adopted her but he has improved her tolerance for walking and is showing improvements. He is so patient and updates me with pictures which is so sweet to see her enjoying each other's company! I am so grateful and happy I found Erik on Rover. You will not be disappointed in booking with him for your pups next walk!”

About: Hi! My name is Quinn. Do you want a fun, experienced, and responsible dog sitter? than you've come to the right place! I am an 18 year old girl who is passionate about animals, dogs specifically! The dogs go on 6 or 7 walks every day around our beautiful neighborhood, and we love taking them down the bike paths and to a dog park! The dogs get to have exciting fun filled days of playing and going on walks. we own three other dogs, Millie, Kaia, and Greta that will love your furry friends. They are full of energy, and will wear your dogs out by running around the yard at full speed! Your dogs will love to play outside on our 20 acres of land. The dogs are always with me when we (my family or I) are outside. We go on long walks, as in over an hour! When we aren't walking with your dog, we will be playing in our yard or the playing inside the house. The dogs are part of our family and we treat them as our own. My family has owned dogs for 30+ years and I have had the responsibility of taking care of our dogs for 8+ years. Please provide the following for your friends before you leave them with us for their vacation: A crate. We understand that your dogs will need some time to themselves, so we always crate inside at night. This way you can sleep soundly knowing your dogs are safe, and they won't get in trouble while we're asleep. Your dog will feel more comfortable in his own crate. You can also bring a small blanket, bed or maybe one of your shirts that we can put in their crate for her/him. Food. Please provide an adequate amount of food that your dog normally eats. Please bring the kind of food your dog is used to eating, and let us know how much and how often your pupper eats. Toys, treats, a bed, leash, collar, harness etc. We can provide some of these things if you don't have them but if you have them, please bring it. Your happy dog, and peace of mind knowing that your dog might just be having a better vacation than you! Pet care fits naturally into my day-to-day life because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently don’t have a full-time job, which means I’m extremely flexible and available—perfect for dogs who need extra attention, consistency, or a customized schedule. I’m organized and responsible, so I can easily balance feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs with the rest of my day. Taking care of pets adds something meaningful to my routine, and I truly enjoy every moment I spend with them. It’s not just a task, it’s something I take pride in. When dog sitting, I make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home. I stick closely to their regular routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions you provide. I give them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise to keep them happy and healthy while you’re away. I also monitor their behavior and well-being, and I’m quick to notice if anything seems off. Whether it’s giving belly rubs, tossing a favorite toy, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like they’re my own.

About: I grew up in a house with up to 14 trained working dogs at a time. I’ve spent years working with and developing the skills needed for them to succeed at trained tasks. I currently have an obedience trained Catahoula Leopard Cur whom I’ve been working with since puppyhood. I’ve boarded and have done drop in pet sitting since age ten. I’ve bred and trained both domestic and working dogs, and have an advanced understanding of dog body language and behavior signs to help the dog communicate. I’ve had years of experience with many different breeds of dogs from terriers, hounds, bulldogs, mastiffs, golden retrievers, doodles, and many more. I’m currently working part time jobs with flexible hours, allowing me to arrange my schedule in a way that suits your needs. A typical day includes people being home almost 24/7, typically no more than 4 hours go by with my dog being alone. I am able to do drop ins when needed, and can work around most requests. I have an unfenced 2.5 acre yard attached to a 80 acre farm. My dogs are allowed to run freely with supervision in the yard. No current barn animals present besides cats and the two indoor dogs. I am also able to provide a small enclosed area to play, with prior notice, and can use different haltering methods to ensure your furry friend will remain in a safe controlled area. In your home I am able to provide any life style you give your dog, whether that be free roaming or supervised on-leash outside time, or any other way to keep your pet safe. I’m always open to different ways to care for dogs because I understand each dog has different needs.

“Tammie is always great with my pups! She is their happy home away from home. Great care, great sitter, great people. I wouldn’t want to take my girls anywhere else for extended care.😊”
“Morgan was amazing! She was very flexible with our timing needs, and so excited to care for Panzer. I appreciated the picture she sent about 2 hours into the day. I relaxed, knowing our dog was fitting in, and not stressed about missing us. Actually, I’m sure he was kept so busy he didn’t have a chance to miss us. Highly recommend Morgan!”
“We were extremely pleased with Brandi! She took such great care of Oakley for us and even gave Oakley her own special Thanksgiving dinner! We loved the pictures sent and the texts about how Oakley was doing! I’m happy we booked with Brandi again!”
“Kara and Ben took great care of our dog, and on short notice! We appreciated their daily updates and photos. Our dog had a great time with their family! We would highly recommend Kara and Ben.”
“Jennifer was great to work with! This is the first time I’ve used any type of boarding service, and she made it easy and made me feel comfortable with everything. I could tell she has a lot of experience with dogs and was confident everything was going to be fine. I look forward to working with her again!”
“Randee was great with Louie! We will not hesitate to have Louie stay with Randee again. Randee was very accommodating and understanding when we had to adjust some drop off and arrival times.”
About: Taking walks around my pond, lots of cuddles, and play will be enjoyed at my home. Open to working with your feeding schedule preferences for your pet. Weekends, I will be home more to play and cuddle. I work outside of home during the week, but in the evenings I will have lots of time to play and have fun. If you have a crate, I would love for you to bring it for the dog. This way, if I am sitting with multiple pets while I'm gone, they are safe. Also, I will always have a leash in my complex.
About: Hello! My name is Elicia and I have been around animals my entire life. I currently have 3 dogs (4 including my husband 😂) Doug, Cooper and Nala. I love to spend time with animals, and know the struggle of finding someone trust worthy to take care of your kids! I have great references, and am pretty flexible when it comes to the needs and care of you and your pets. I promise to love on them and treat them as if they were my own, no matter how big or how small! I am also open to discussing payment options as well - I am here to work with you and your babies! Looking forward to chatting with you! I have a full time job, 7a-4p Monday - Friday in Wausau. I have the option to work from home 1 day a week if needed, but cannot work from home on Mondays or Fridays. If you’re located close enough to my employer I can let your pets out at lunch! I currently have no restrictions when it comes to caring for pets. I have cared for puppies all the way to elderly dogs. I have no allergies, so nothing to worry about there! I can take them for walks, to the dog park, and am willing to do everything I can to keep them on their schedule and stress free!
“Craig is an amazing pet sitter - you can’t go wrong having him care for your fur baby. He spent all of his time with our senior dog Linus, who takes several medications several times a day. In addition, he took Linus on many adventures and played ball with him constantly and had a fun toy box. Linus had his own vacation while we were on vacation. I was able to relax and have zero worries, knowing Linus was in great hands. We would use Craig again in a heartbeat.”
“Solia and Mike were great care givers for Kona. It was comforting to have a knowledgeable Vet Tech in charge while we were away. Thank you Solia and thanks for keeping us updated with photos while we were gone.”
“Leora was very good with our fur baby while we went on a 7 day vacation . We got daily picture updates which the kids were always looking forward to and he looked happy. I definitely recommend Leora and will use her again.”
“Taylor was an outstanding host. She took such good care of, hook. She was very responsive and shared everything about his day. She did an amazing job keeping him happy and occupied. I would recommend her to everyone. Thank you so much.”
“Naomi M. and her family are a wonderful pet sitter for my kitty Taz. I had never had a pet sitter for him before and she worked with me as my schedule changed multiple times and her family has bonded with them so well. I would recommend Naomi for all my pet sitting needs. Laurie L M.”
