Personalized care for your dog or cat - Quinney
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Quinney
“Bobbi took such good care of our baby while we were on vacation. I never have to worry about him when he is with her and it gives us such peace of mind. She is the best!!!”
“Chelsea was easy to communicate with and made the whole process easy. We did a meet and greet beforehand and I felt very comfortable with her. I knew my dog was in good hands and will definitely use her again!”
“Anu and her family are the best!! They are so welcoming and our pup Daisy had such a fun time at their place, excellent communication and received many updates throughout the stay. Would 100% recommend 😊”
“This family did an amazing job watching our dogs while we were on vacation! They sent nightly recaps of their day with many pictures and were great at communicating with anything they needed or any questions we had. Highly recommend ? they quickly made us feel at ease having our dogs stay with them, I’d 100% book with them again in the future!”
“I've never taken my dog to a sitter ever. Frank got recommended to us by another Rover user, so we did a meet and greet and I felt completely comfortable with the care my dog was going to receive. My sweet girl is a senior with some special needs and she was loved and cared for in the best way possible. I was able to enjoy my trip without the nagging worry that my fur baby was going to be unhappy. We were so comfortable with the care she received that we booked again for a shorter stay soon after.”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“This was my first time using Rover (or any kind of pet sitting service) and everything was absolutely flawless. Gina was absolutely fantastic! Rover was an excellent choice, also. I had to rearrange dates with her and she was able to do all the necessary “paperwork “. I simply had to “accept “ changes which made me very happy as I’m not really tech-savvy!! From our dogs first meet and greet to the time I picked him up I was 100% confident in her genuine love and affection for animals. I received updates and photos of our dogs having a great time together regularly. I will definitely be requesting Gina & “Mack”, her adorable Chihuahua anytime I need a pet sitter in the future.”
“Once again Jessica and Chase took great care of our puppy! I feel so comfortable leaving her with them overnight, and I get pictures and updates of her stay with them for a peace of mind. Great people!”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Sue & Mark were the perfect hosts for Lucy. Lucy is shy but she warmed up to them right away. They welcomed her into their home and kept me updated. I will be scheduling with them again in the near future.”
“Kelley and her Husband were AWESOME! SUPER friendly and kept me update on my Thorin. My Thorin seemed extremely happy and they took good care of him. Remind you guys, my Throin is. Belgian Malinois and I thought he was going to be too much for Kelley and her husband. But they were able to keep up with him. HIGHLY recommend!!!!”
“Korri did a great job with our fur-baby!! He gets nervous when we leave him and she worked with him to keep him comfortable for the weekend. Lots of pictures and updates were appreciated! Highly recommend. ?”
“Emma was wonderful with Lily. We only needed one night due to a funeral. But she sent pictures and responded to me right away. If you need someone in Fond du Lac she is it.”
“Lisa and her family take Blue in like one of their own. Blue is always very excited to run in and greet everyone when we arrive. The pics Lisa sends always show a very contented pup during her stay”
“Karen and Chris were great with our cat! He can be a bit annoying looking for attention but they were patient and he was spoiled and well cared for. Looking forward to booking with them again.”

“Jenna did great and was very flexible. She even got some pets in with my rabbit who is usually wary of strangers or people in general so im very happy with the job she did!”
About: I have extensive hands‑on experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. From shy, slow‑to‑warm kitties to confident social butterflies, I understand how to read feline body language and adjust my approach to make every cat feel safe and respected. My care includes feeding routines, litter box maintenance, enrichment play, grooming support, and administering medications when needed. I’m attentive to subtle changes in behavior—whether it’s appetite, energy, or mood—so I can keep your cat comfortable and content while you’re away.
About: I love taking care of dogs. I will walk your dog in the Spring, Summer and Fall in good weather. Your dog will have my 3 year old Maltese to play with. I’m CPR trained and if needed, with calling you first, take your dog to my home town ER hospital (hope we never need to use that). Your dog must be potty trained for outside. My grandchildren all love dogs, they visit sometimes. I have been with dogs all my life. So rest assured I’ll take care of your dog while I take care of mine and my grandchildren. I will have play time and potty breaks. Will try to teach your dog new tricks. I’ve taken training classes with Pet Smart. You won’t regret placing your pet with me.
About: I've taken care of cats since I was a little girl, a long time ago. We had kittens, tom cats, and even a very large cat named Casey. I loved them all. My daughter's cat sleeps with me when I am there. My son's cats will lie on my computer. My family and clients' cats love to be brushed, pet, and given treats. Litter boxes are kept clean, and water dishes are cleaned daily. I would love to come sit with your cat. Most important is that they stay in their home environment without any disruption. No cat-itude. I'm looking forward to connecting.
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, cows, goats etc. so I have always been around and taking care of animals. I regularly take care of friends and families dogs/cats and am very patient. I used to work in nursing and most recently as a chemist, but am looking for supplemental animal love and interactions! I have availability and flexibility as needed Sunday through the week. I can do mornings, evenings or afternoons. I can accommodate most changes as this is my primary work. I have a closed in backyard and basement. I have two cats that can be separated or blocked off to separate areas of the house.
“Madalyn does a wonderful job! Our GSD can be quite reactive when meeting someone new, but she handled it expertly. She is very quick to respond, asks all the right questions when caring for pups, and cares so deeply for them. We look forward to scheduling more drop-ins with her in the future if we need someone to watch him. Thanks again!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs on my own since middle school. We've always had a family dog in the household as well as friends and neighbors who would need help with their little ones. I have a BS in Animal Science, have worked as an emergency vet assistant/triage tech for the last 3 years, and have some professional dog training experience. I currently have 2 guinea pigs, and a 2-year-old AND 1-year-old pitty/lab mix that love to come to work with me and go on all sorts of outdoor adventures! Needless to say, my life revolves around animals and I don't know what the world would be like without them! I would love to get to know your little one and be there for them (and you!) when needed! Good communication and planning helps me arrange my schedule and make myself available for your needs. I often have days off during the week so I can spend time with our furry friends while their families are at work. Having worked in an emergency pet hospital keeps me on my toes and I always put safety first. When it comes to walking outside, I double check collar/harness every time to ensure a secure yet comfortable fit that can't be slipped out of. I also know dog body language and signs of illness to monitor and keep people and pets safe!
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities throughout my life, from puppy stages to senior care. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, administering medications, and giving pets the attention and patience they need to feel safe and happy. With my background as a CNA and caregiver, I naturally bring a calm, attentive, and detail-oriented approach to pet care. I understand how important it is to follow routines closely and make sure every pet is cared for as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or extra care, I’m here to provide a reliable and loving experience you can feel confident in. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available for last-minute bookings, drop-ins, and walks throughout the day. I’m currently looking to spend my time doing something meaningful while earning extra income, and caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every pet with the same level of care, attention, and love that I give my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while following any routines or instructions you provide.
About: I love all animals. I have taken care of my family, friends, and my own pets for years. I am a huge believer in play and fun. I assist pets with a more active lifestyle with love. I am reliable and will treat your pet as my own. I too have been on extended trips and felt the worry associated with being gone. I understand how to calm pets and make the experience positive for all involved. I am an effective communicator and will give updates for piece of mind. I have had behavioral training. I hope to be your regular and become a true friend/ helper for your pet reducing all anxiety and offering a wonderful experience for your beloved pet. Good care and vibes only.
About: I have trained puppies, and dealt with animals who needed medicine or injections daily and blind dogs! I’ve also worked with different breeds because i volunteered at a shelter for awhile! I currently only work part time, so I do have lots of time to be taking great care and spending time with your pet! monday-sunday i’m available, after 2pm works best for me! I have a big fenced in yard, and two other dogs as well to keep your pet company, I also own a crate for big and small dogs if needed, I have many treats and lots of toys as well!
About: I have taken care of many different types of animals in animal shelter settings and have worked at Blue Pearl Emergency Vet. This included potty breaks, play-time and giving them food and their medications when needed. I have taken care of diabetic animals and animals with injuries, etc. I have also had many different types of animals since the day I was born. I have a flexible schedule and am willing to work around different work schedules or vacation times, etc. I am interested in helping whenever needed. I will follow different directions as given or told depending on the animals needs and what is best for the family and animal. It will vary depending on what is needed.
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and have a lot of hands on experience with different personalities and needs! I have a German Shepherd and a Boxer, so I’m very used to larger dogs, higher energy, and the kind of attention some dogs need to feel settled and happy. I’m very comfortable with dogs that are more anxious or take a little time to warm up, as well as seniors or pets that need medication or a more specific routine. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and figuring out what makes them feel their best—it’s one of my favorite parts of doing this! My work from home schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy for me to work around what your pet needs. 🙂 I’m available mornings, mid-day, evenings, and overnights, including weekends. Pet care is already part of my daily routine, so I’m not rushing through visits. I make sure your pet gets real time, attention, and care! I keep things safe, simple, and easy for pets to settle into. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can get outside time, and I always supervise while they’re out. Inside, things stay clean and calm, and I can give pets their own space if they need a break or some quiet time. I’m also certified in Pet First Aid & CPR, so I’m prepared if anything unexpected comes up—but most of all, I focus on making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for the entire time!
About: I have had a love for dogs my entire life! I was blessed to grow up with the sweetest Black Lab and my family welcomed a toy poodle to our family when I was 12. In the last couple of years, the family dogs have gone from 2 to 6 with the addition of my in-laws. I am at my happiest when we are all in the same house, each of us with a dog on our lap or at our feet. I don't know what life is like without a dog in it! I lost my 4 year old mini dachshund unexpectedly in 2020. Since then my love for dogs has only grown. I would love to hangout with your furbaby! I currently work a hybrid schedule, working from home most days. My role allows me flexibility throughout the day. I would love to fit in a couple of dog walks and cuddles into my schedule. All dogs are part of the family in my home. I will never treat them differently. I grew up with runners, so have no fear that keeping your dogs safe and home is my number one priority.
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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Quinney
“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!”
“Extremely happy with Bobbie and Clark. Our 6 month old Shepard husky means the world to us and we were confident she was in good hands as the day progressed and we were sent updates. We will definitely be returning to them in the future and we wish we could give them 10 stars on the basis of communication and care for our beloved pet!”
“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 took such good care of our Obi! Emily and her family took him in like their own! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was very attentive to all our puppy’s needs 😊 🩷 Would highly recommend Emily for all your pets needs!”
“We had a last-minute Rover request, and Bobbi responded quickly and made booking easy. Even though it was a short stay, we could tell our dog had a great time especially with Mercy, their adorable pug! Bobbi shared updates and photos, and Nova seemed to really enjoy their spacious backyard. Bobbi was so kind and welcoming. We’d absolutely recommend her to others!”

“i can not say enough wonderful things about Ally…I know our little Ruthie feels the same. From the walks to the park and on the trails, to the play time and rest time Ally was a pro! My only wish is that she lived in Kentucky! We will be in Appleton again soon and hope that Ally is available for Ruthie again…”

“Blue had another fun day spending the afternoon with Emma and her dog Lola. Nice to have a welcoming environment for Blue when we can’t take her with us to some events. 😀”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was ten. From a litter of beagle puppies to King & Queen to Sandy our cocker spaniel and Pepper the Schnauzer. In married life I had golden retriever and multiple Tri Shelties. Also have the pleasure of grand dogs to care for occasionally.

“Cristy was amazing! Her home was so cute and tidy. She has a sweet little dog that played so well with my dog whom normally doesn’t care much for others. Cristy was kind, communicative, and flexible.”
“This was a last minute need so it was great he could watch Cody with very short notice. Cody is an older dog and does not take change well, so it was fantastic he was excited to return the next day which means Cody really enjoyed his stay. Great care and communication! Cody was all smiles!”
About: I have part-time pup named Teddie, who you can see in my photos. I cared for my parents' elderly dog for two months, and I occasional provide daily care for another friend's dog. I'm looking forward to making more pet connections, and I hope to meet your animal companions very soon! I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have significant flexibility in my schedule. I will work with you to make sure all your pet's needs are met! I am happy to care for your pets at your home, or mine. We are best set up to care for dogs at our home, with easy access to our backyard and a longer, outdoor leash (no fence). My eleven-year-old enjoys animals as well, and he often scooters with me during doggie walks. I have experience with elderly dogs and anxious dogs.
About: Since childhood, I have been responsible for the care of various animals, including dogs, cats, and small animals of diverse species. Among these, dogs hold a special place in my heart as my favorite animal. As a full-time stay-at-home mother, I am constantly at home with my children and dogs. During the summer months, we thoroughly enjoy spending time outdoors. I have a spacious backyard that is not fenced in, but I have a long tie-out if needed for your furry friends. Your pets will be well cared for.

“Madalyn is consistent and flexible on scheduling walks! She was so kind to my dog when she realized he was scared of a thunderstorm! She sat with him and came back later to walk him when the storm was over.”
About: I’ve spent several years providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection to keep pets happy and relaxed while their families are away. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment so every pet feels comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly rhythm, especially since I work from home three days a week. On those WFH days, I’m able to offer flexible, consistent attention—perfect for pets who enjoy companionship, regular check‑ins, or a steady routine. I build feeding times, walks or play sessions, potty breaks, and general wellness checks around my work blocks, making sure pets get the care and interaction they need throughout the day. On the days I’m in the office, I plan visits intentionally to keep each pet’s routine stable. Whether it’s morning care, midday enrichment, or evening check‑ins, I make sure every pet gets predictable, comforting attention. Because I’m used to balancing a hybrid schedule with pet responsibilities, I’m very organized and reliable about maintaining consistent care all week long. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine, environment, and comfort exactly the way they’re used to. I follow the owner’s instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, medication needs, and any household rules—so pets feel secure and stress‑free. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, whether they need extra play, quiet companionship, or a slow, gentle approach. I keep the home tidy and respectful, making sure food and water areas stay clean, litter boxes or potty routines are maintained, and any messes are handled right away. I also pay attention to small details like closing gates, locking doors, turning lights on or off as requested, and keeping the home feeling lived‑in and safe. Throughout the stay, I send updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing.
About: I have had animals since I was a newborn, surrounded by cats, dogs, mice, you name it! Continuing my love for animals, I work full time at a doggy daycare, which I have been at for over a year. I have 2 animals of my own, and work at a doggy daycare. Pet care is LITERALLY a part of my daily routine! Right now, I do have a fairly packed schedule. However, I am 100% willing to make time. :) I have a massive yard, with 20 ft. leashes to roam. I also own a friendly chocolate lab, though he doesn’t play much with other animals. I am able to adjust to any potential special needs or wants!
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: I’ve worked with variety of species, specializing with dogs! I have skills with grooming and training. I have 4 of my own dogs and do dog sports as well! I work from home so I have extra time to care for your pets and am able to move around my schedule. Saturdays are the only days I may not be able to take same day bookings! I understand crate and gate management and will make sure your animals are happy and healthy! As of right now I can’t offer boarding in my own home but maybe in the future
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.
About: I have worked with numerous animals since I was 5 years old. I have owned chickens, rabbits, horses, dogs, and cats my entire life. I am a 4-H leader where I teach children how to train dogs and I help them show and prepare their animals at fair. I also show my own animals at the fair. Additionally, I have pet sat for numerous family members over the years as well as friends. I will always be there for your pet and I will make sure they are well taken care of and loved just like they are my own. I am a teacher who is currently on summer break. So my schedule is pretty open during the summer and I have a lot of availability. During the school year, most of my weekends are free as well as when we have breaks. I am flexible and willing to make things work for you! I live on a little hobby farm with my husband. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats who are very friendly. I have everything needed in my home to take care of a dog including a kennel if needed as well as tie outs. We have a lake that is 5 minutes from our house and if your dog loves to swim, I would be happy to take them. I take my dogs all over in the summer and I would make sure your pet gets a lot of attention and exercise as well. Additionally, we have a huge barn and fenced in pasture as well as rabbit hutches in the barn and a chicken coop! Whatever animal you have they can be comfortable at my property. Additionally, if you feel better about your animal staying at home, I am happy to accommodate to that as well.
About: For years I have walked and taken care of my neighborhoods dogs. I even had a dog myself and would take him on walks everyday. I now have a cat with my significant other and love playing with him. When I get home from work I like to go on walks, but I miss walking my late dog so walking and taking care of someone else animal would make me happy and also them. Making sure the yard is safe and doors or fences are close before letting the animals out. Making sure everything is put away and not in reach of the animals unless it is their toys or things meant for them.
About: I've grown up with dogs and once I lived on my own, soon adopted 3 cats. I've had several dogs and cats throughout my life, loving them as my children. Every animal I meet melts my heart in their own special way and I fall in love every time. I would be honored to care for your fur [or scale!] baby/ies! I currently work part time at petco in the mornings mostly. I do have my own animals as well, but find myself also always wishing I had more. I have plenty of time and heart to give! I will feed your animal the directed amount in the directed time. I will play with your cat/dog several times throughout the day. For dogs, potty breaks every 2 hours minimum. And as many cuddles and hugs as they want!
About: I have trained puppies, and dealt with animals who needed medicine or injections daily and blind dogs! I’ve also worked with different breeds because i volunteered at a shelter for awhile! I currently only work part time, so I do have lots of time to be taking great care and spending time with your pet! monday-sunday i’m available, after 2pm works best for me!

I will follow different directions as given or told depending on the animals needs and what is best for the family and animal. It will vary depending on what is needed.
About: I’ve been volunteering at animals shelters for 10+ years and have experience with sensitive pets or unique regimens. I’ve also volunteered at the National Aquarium in an animal husbandry role, so I’m a quick learner if you have pets such as reptiles that need unique care. I grew up with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, mice, snakes, hamsters, chinchillas, and a frog named Fred. I probably enjoy the walks more than the pups and I’ve never met a cat I didn’t like! My name is Melissa and I’m the proud human to three cats - Rosie, Griffon, & Minerva. I became the human to my first cat when I was 6 months old and maintained a wonderful bond with my Princess until she died at the old age of 21. I will treat any companion like they are my own and continue to love them in your absence. I’m always looking for a companion to go on adventures with, if your dog is up for the challenge. But if your cat prefers to nap together - or even ignore me entirely, I can do that, too!
About: I’ve had my own pets since I was little. I’ve had hamsters, goldfish, frogs, bunnies, hamsters and a dog. I also have a few years experience with taking care of my grandmas cats. I have my own online business so I am very flexible with my schedule! & I can work around your pets schedule and needs 😊 Again I will be able to adjust my work schedule to your pets schedule. I am a very organized person so I will keep everything clean and tidy.

I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and figuring out what makes them feel their best—it’s one of my favorite parts of doing this! My work from home schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy for me to work around what your pet needs. 🙂 I’m available mornings, mid-day, evenings, and overnights, including weekends. Pet care is already part of my daily routine, so I’m not rushing through visits. I make sure your pet gets real time, attention, and care! I keep things safe, simple, and easy for pets to settle into. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can get outside time, and I always supervise while they’re out. Inside, things stay clean and calm, and I can give pets their own space if they need a break or some quiet time. I’m also certified in Pet First Aid & CPR, so I’m prepared if anything unexpected comes up—but most of all, I focus on making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for the entire time!
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities throughout my life, from puppy stages to senior care. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, administering medications, and giving pets the attention and patience they need to feel safe and happy. With my background as a CNA and caregiver, I naturally bring a calm, attentive, and detail-oriented approach to pet care. I understand how important it is to follow routines closely and make sure every pet is cared for as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or extra care, I’m here to provide a reliable and loving experience you can feel confident in. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available for last-minute bookings, drop-ins, and walks throughout the day. I’m currently looking to spend my time doing something meaningful while earning extra income, and caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every pet with the same level of care, attention, and love that I give my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while following any routines or instructions you provide.
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.

“Bobbi took such good care of our baby while we were on vacation. I never have to worry about him when he is with her and it gives us such peace of mind. She is the best!!!”
“Chelsea was easy to communicate with and made the whole process easy. We did a meet and greet beforehand and I felt very comfortable with her. I knew my dog was in good hands and will definitely use her again!”
“Anu and her family are the best!! They are so welcoming and our pup Daisy had such a fun time at their place, excellent communication and received many updates throughout the stay. Would 100% recommend 😊”
“I've never taken my dog to a sitter ever. Frank got recommended to us by another Rover user, so we did a meet and greet and I felt completely comfortable with the care my dog was going to receive. My sweet girl is a senior with some special needs and she was loved and cared for in the best way possible. I was able to enjoy my trip without the nagging worry that my fur baby was going to be unhappy. We were so comfortable with the care she received that we booked again for a shorter stay soon after.”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“This was my first time using Rover (or any kind of pet sitting service) and everything was absolutely flawless. Gina was absolutely fantastic! Rover was an excellent choice, also. I had to rearrange dates with her and she was able to do all the necessary “paperwork “. I simply had to “accept “ changes which made me very happy as I’m not really tech-savvy!! From our dogs first meet and greet to the time I picked him up I was 100% confident in her genuine love and affection for animals. I received updates and photos of our dogs having a great time together regularly. I will definitely be requesting Gina & “Mack”, her adorable Chihuahua anytime I need a pet sitter in the future.”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Kelley and her Husband were AWESOME! SUPER friendly and kept me update on my Thorin. My Thorin seemed extremely happy and they took good care of him. Remind you guys, my Throin is. Belgian Malinois and I thought he was going to be too much for Kelley and her husband. But they were able to keep up with him. HIGHLY recommend!!!!”
“Korri did a great job with our fur-baby!! He gets nervous when we leave him and she worked with him to keep him comfortable for the weekend. Lots of pictures and updates were appreciated! Highly recommend. ?”
“Lisa and her family take Blue in like one of their own. Blue is always very excited to run in and greet everyone when we arrive. The pics Lisa sends always show a very contented pup during her stay”
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.
“Don was very responsive and kept us up to date during our dog’s stay. Don was very friendly and our boys came home tired from playing and very happy. Pick up and drop off were a breeze and there was a large yard full of toys for them to play with. I will for sure use Don again the next time we are in the area!”
“I highly recommend Nikki. She is easy to work with and truly loves dogs! She has a nice big fenced-in backyard where the dogs can run and play. Her dog Nelson is a sweetheart as well. Five Stars for Nikki!”
“Mitzi was so well treated. She was walked and made to feel at home while staying there. I highly recommend Caitlin and Samuel. They are very friendly and I plan to keep them in mind for future needs.”
“We were very happy with the service that Susan provided. She took great care of our dogs (Oliver and Stanley) Oliver wasn’t feeling well and she alerted us and kept us updated. We appreciated it. We recommend her service.”
“My dog Luna spent a week at Anna & George's home, which was her 1st time with a pet sitter. She did well, and I appreciated that Anna shared a couple photos during Luna's stay, which helped reassure me since it's a new relationship. Anna kept Luna's routine, including walks and some play time, and gave her lots of TLC.”
