“Bruce loves spending time with Tammie! She takes him on lots of walks and gives lots of love. In addition, I was on a work trip and my flight was canceled last night, then delayed today. Tammie graciously managed the uncertainty and made the situation less stressful for me, knowing that Bruce was in good hands. I’m forever grateful that Tammie treats Bruce like her own ❤️”
“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☺️...”
“Brandi did a wonderful job caring for our pup Maggie for our weekend away. This was the first time being away from our fur baby and she made it easy for all of us to know Maggie was having a super fun time! Thanks Brandi!”
“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!”
“Christy was most accommodating when we dropped our dog off and when we picked him up. She sent pictures to keep us updated on how content and happy he was while staying with her. Thank you Christy!”
“Shawn and Joey were great! They were flexible with drop off and pickup times, sent a daily photo and took Cooper for walks. He seemed to enjoy himself and the company of their dog and was wore out when we got him home!”
“Nothing but great things to say about Kara & Ben. They took such great care of my two dogs while I was away for the weekend. I am not from the area and this was my first time using Rover for boarding so I was a little anxious. Both Kara and Ben provided pictures and reassurance that they were being well cared for. I am very appreciative! 10/10 recommend 😊”
“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!!”
“1) Very reasonable pricing 2) Frequent GOOD photos and videos 3) Excellent at giving pills 4) Excellent at getting Scout to eat, which is not always easy 10/10 would recommend Jennifer”
“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”
“Bethany watched Hazel for a brief overnight stay. Bethany was very engaged and knowledgeable. I am very confident with Hazel in her care. I hope to be able to use her services again.”
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life growing up. I currently have one dog, Ruby, who is 2 years old and a cat, Henry, who is 6 months old. I also have two children (ages 5 and 9) who love pets and helping out. My goal is to provide not just reliable care, but peace of mind—so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort so I can respond quickly to anything they may need. I also believe communication is key. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
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!
“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: 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.
“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.”

“Julia did a great job! She showed up at the agreed upon times and did exactly what was asked of her. Very grateful to have someone reliable to take care of my kitties when I am out of town.”
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.
“Sydney was a wonderful sitter for my Petra!! She sent me many photos and updates, and even took my trash out. She was so great with my kitty and provided a sense of relief since I was out of town!”
“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. 🐾”
“Nicole did a great job with drop in visits for my cat Nacho. She sent lots of pictures of them playing and snuggling. I could tell Nacho was enjoying her company! I will definitely use her again!”
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. 💕🐾
“Skylar is awesome and very kind I immediately felt comfortable & trust in her, which felt great as I can enjoy a much needed getaway! Skylar, handled things really well with both my cats and household. Apparently it didn’t take long for my cats to sense Skylar could be trusted and came out for her! I can’t express my gratitude enough to finally having someone like Skylar☺️ Thank you Rover for the connection with Skylar! Thank you Skylar for your compassion and your love for animals because Dusti & Graci knew it & I could see it!!”
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.
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 have many years of experience caring and loving for animals. I have also worked for a couple of Veterinary clinics and have attended a year of school for Veterinary medicine. I am currently a stay at home mom and have a couple of fur babies of my own who get along great with everyone! My Bernese Mountain dog is 7 years and one of the biggest lap dogs you will meet. 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! I also volunteered at the humane society all throughout college so I have a lot of experience with cats of all personalities as well as dogs that may be shy or have triggers. I currently work from home 3 out of the 5 days which makes it easy for me to pet sit during the week and ensuring full care!! I also work 7 am to 3:15 pm so I have all afternoon to do any dog walks and check ins! At my home I have room for a crate if needed. I also have a long leash for going potty outside along with leashes to go for many walks!
“Thank you so much for taking care of my Othello! I could tell he had been well cared for when we came home. I also appreciated the additional photos and the fact that he let you pet him means he must have really trusted you! I hope to be able to book again with you!”

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.
“Daisy loves her visits with Christy. I feel she is well taken care of with Christy being home during the day. Christy is very accommodating and has even picked Daisy up at our home.”
“Brandi is amazing! I needed a sitter at the last minute until my husband was released from the hospital and we live 1 and 1/2 hour’s from hospital so we were in a jam. Brandi was so nice and accommodating! My dog Auggie had a great time! It’s just he needed. Thanks again Brandi! ❤️”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of various sizes and ages for as long as I can remember. I pride myself on providing the highest quality care and attention that all animals deserve. I love animals of all kinds, and my goal is to make their time apart from their owners as stress-free and enjoyable as possible! I'm well versed in animal body language, oral medication administration, and senior care. I'm available to do last-minute bookings, early mornings, late nights, holidays—you name it! I have plenty of time to accommodate you and your pet's needs! I'd love to know everything I can about your pet(s) to allow for the best possible experience! I also won't shy away from cleaning up after your pets and will adhere to specified household rules. Boarding is available on a case-by-case basis, as I only board one family pet(s) at a time. Because of the cats that I have, boarding is done in a separate living space away from the house. It's fully furnished, has heat and air conditioning, and is about the size of a studio apartment. I also live on 80 acres with plenty of walking trails in the woods, well-managed fields, and even a small pond. I will be with your pets the entire duration of their stay and will get them out multiple times during the day! If you request that I take them out on the walking trails, I do ask that your pets have tick medication on them.

“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.

“Skylar is very flexible with our schedule. Tilly is very happy when I get home after her walks with Skylar! Skylar was very easy to create a plan with when she first came to visit. The house is always cleaned up after Tilly's indoor playtime, too! I would highly recommend her! Thank you, Skylar!”
About: I have 4 pets (3 dogs & 1 cat) of my own, so pet care is a daily occurrence in my house. In the past I have cared for neighbors pets on a regular basis. I also, worked at a kennel for one year. Pets are a daily love and life event at my house. I make sure my pets have everything (and more) they need for a happy life. Pets need to trust and be comfortable with people. Pets should not be rushed to know you. If you take the time to let them come to you at their pace the outcome will be better for them and you.

About: I have always grown up with pets as well as taking care of dogs and cats of family friends. I even recently took care of a bird! I have two cats and a dog of my own and I’m looking forward to providing care for your furry family members For the month of September I will be unavailable Monday-Thursday, and from October on I will be unavailable Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Every pet is different so I will be sure to follow any instructions the pet owner leaves for me. I have done babysitting and pet sitting for many different people and different homes so I am used to using extra care with other peoples pets and space.
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.
“Becky is the absolute best. She took care of my dog 100% and was very helpful and understanding. She was very responsive after the walks and how Buster did on the walks. I will use her again.”
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! I also volunteered at the humane society all throughout college so I have a lot of experience with cats of all personalities as well as dogs that may be shy or have triggers. I currently work from home 3 out of the 5 days which makes it easy for me to pet sit during the week and ensuring full care!! I also work 7 am to 3:15 pm so I have all afternoon to do any dog walks and check ins! At my home I have room for a crate if needed. I also have a long leash for going potty outside along with leashes to go for many walks!

“Bruce loves spending time with Tammie! She takes him on lots of walks and gives lots of love. In addition, I was on a work trip and my flight was canceled last night, then delayed today. Tammie graciously managed the uncertainty and made the situation less stressful for me, knowing that Bruce was in good hands. I’m forever grateful that Tammie treats Bruce like her own ❤️”
“Brandi did a wonderful job caring for our pup Maggie for our weekend away. This was the first time being away from our fur baby and she made it easy for all of us to know Maggie was having a super fun time! Thanks Brandi!”
“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!”
“Shawn and Joey were great! They were flexible with drop off and pickup times, sent a daily photo and took Cooper for walks. He seemed to enjoy himself and the company of their dog and was wore out when we got him home!”
“Nothing but great things to say about Kara & Ben. They took such great care of my two dogs while I was away for the weekend. I am not from the area and this was my first time using Rover for boarding so I was a little anxious. Both Kara and Ben provided pictures and reassurance that they were being well cared for. I am very appreciative! 10/10 recommend 😊”
“1) Very reasonable pricing 2) Frequent GOOD photos and videos 3) Excellent at giving pills 4) Excellent at getting Scout to eat, which is not always easy 10/10 would recommend Jennifer”
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!
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.
“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.”
About: I've grown up with pets my whole life - dogs, cats, cows, horses, hamsters, mice, you name it I probably had it at one point. I have a dog of my own as well. I like to say I've had animal experience my whole life, but formally I have had over 8 years of experience in the animal care industry. I have spent time in veterinary clinics, grooming, boarding, doggy daycare, dog training, permanent sanctuaries, rehabilitation facilities, and farms. I have also fostered multiple dogs from a local rescue. I recently earned a degree in animal science and have plans to attend veterinary school. I really really love animals and everything about them, and I would love to spend some time with your pet when you're not able to! I take my dog for two walks a day, a shorter 10-15 minute walk in the morning, and longer 30-45 minute walk after work in the afternoon. On days I am not working, I go on multiple short walks a day. There are paths I walk for both off-leash and on-leash walking. Typical available days are T-F. Weekends vary. Outdoor activities (walks, meeting friends dogs, swimming, fetch, etc.) are my primary methods of exercise and activity with my pet, and would be with clients pets as well. On days it's not so nice I like to work on training inside or find new enrichment activities to keep my pet occupied. I take pride in keeping a pet environment clean, so I regularly bathe and brush my dog, as well as clean food bowls. I will care for my clients pets as I would care for my own.
About: I’m a traveling pet sitter and I love hanging out with all animals! I'm a member to both this and TrustedHouseSitters so I have references on there if you wish to see those I can send screen shots. My girlfriend, Debbie and I travel everywhere by car I'm currently only doing pet / house sitting at your house. If you’d like to FaceTime ahead of time that would be great. I'm excited to meet your dog or cat! I love being around pets so I go on walks or hangout around the house with the dog(s) and provide a safe and chill environment.
“I had an amazing first experience using the Rover app with Melissa! Chopper seemed comfortable, happy, and well taken care of the entire time. Melissa communicated incredibly well and sent lots of updates and pictures, which gave me a peace of mind. She was also very sweet, flexible with her availability, and active with Chopper. Melissa took Chopper on several long walks, and it was clear he had a great time with her. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring, active, and reliable sitter. I look forward to booking with her again for Chopper in the future!”
“I almost hate to leave a good review, because then he will book up :) However, I can't say anything but good things about Craig. My two dogs loved him!! I got many pictures every day, weather hanging out at home or on walks, and they always looked so happy. As a matter of fact, when Craig left, my dog just stood there and stared at the door for a minute (I've never seen her do that!).”
