“We always love when our calendars line up and Cricket can stay with Kristin and Bruce. They do an incredible job of taking care of him and making sure he's comfortable - whether it's hanging out with Lauren and Hartley, or snuggled up on the couch with the whole family. Thank you, as always, for everything!”
“Ryan and Martha did a great job making Lucy feel comfortable and welcome in their home. They sent updates and photos to let us know how she was doing. We recommend their services.”
“This was the 2nd time Katie and Samuel’s family took care of Jarvis while we were away. We were very excited when they were available for these dates because Jarvis had a great time with them the first time. They did such an amazing job with him again and it really seemed like Jarvis felt right a home. They always send frequent updates and pictures which is really appreciated :)”
“Stefanie and her family were so loving to my little dog Dolly! I cant say enough about how accommodating they were while I was away in Arizona for the week. I highly recommend them for your pups dog sitting needs! Will be using them again in the future for sure. Dolly sure does miss them all!”
“We had an excellent experience with Nicole! She was reliable and communicative. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality, trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Elmer absolutely loved staying with Manjusha and Midhun. They sent so many wonderful updates and photos, and kept him well entertained. He was only slightly disappointed to be leaving them to come back home with us 😋. I'd definitely book with them again! Easy to communicate with and flexible with scheduling.”
“It is always a great feeling when we have to leave our dogs with Michelle and her family. We know they are in good hands and get treated like family when they are staying at their house. The daily updates and picture are so appreciated.”
“My husband and I were looking for a new pet sitter after our recent move, and we are so happy we found Sarah and her family! Sarah was great about making sure our dog (Colby) had the space and time to meet her dog (Wolfgang) and the members of her family as well as get adjusted to being in a new home. Sarah asked about Colby’s schedule, quirks, and any other important information regarding his care, and she sent pictures and updates on how Colby was doing during his stay. We are so thankful that Colby’s first pet sitting experience post-move was such a positive one, and we know Colby will be so excited for the next time he gets to stay with Sarah and her family! We highly recommend Sarah as a pet sitter if you are looking for someone!”
“Edith was wonderful,she kept me updated everyday with pictures and text messages. We were gone for ten days and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was taking care of and giving the best care to my two dogs. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet is well taken care of. We look forward to working with Edith again and we’ll recommend her to our friends.”
“Pretzel has a great 2 week stay. Duane& Lauren took great care of him and he has lots of playtime and walks to keep him busy. Their place is warm and cozy even in the cold winter!”
“Lindsay was quick to respond to all my messages and made it easy to arrange drop off and pick up. She sent a number of photos of my dog and took her for a number of long walks, just what the dog needs to balance her abundance energy. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Very friendly and dependable. Timely communication, and great pictures and updates during the stay. Confident that Louie got lots of attention, exercise, doggy socialization, and love.”
“It was very important to me that Zeus was in truly caring and reliable hands, and Cylir did an amazing job. She took great care of him, gave him lots of walks, attention, and love. I was also absolutely thrilled with the dog play area where Zeus could dig and really enjoy his time. It truly felt like Zeus was on a little vacation 😊 Thank you so much! We’ll definitely be back.”
“Allison went above and beyond! She treated my dog like she was her own, and I felt completely at ease while I was away. I’m definitely pretty particular about who I trust with my dog, and I had absolutely no hesitations with Allison. She was so caring and loved sending all the pictures (which I obviously LOVED ). It was clear my pup was having the best time and was so well cared for. I would 100% have Allison watch her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“We left our dog Toffee with Jenny and her family for 5 days while we attended a work conference, and we could not have asked for a better experience! This was our first time using Rover and leaving Toffee with someone we didn’t know, so we were definitely nervous at first. Jenny immediately made us feel comfortable with constant updates, pictures, and videos throughout the entire stay. Toffee had the absolute best time running around in her huge backyard, playing with her kids and her two dogs, and getting so much love and attention. It truly felt like he was treated as part of their family. You can tell Jenny genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing Toffee was happy, safe, and so well cared for. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be booking with Jenny and her lovely family again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Rona took excellent care of Basie and Mimi while we were away! She sent us regularly updates of the doggies sleeping, eating, and playing and she made sure that they wore their sweaters when they went outside in the chilly weather. Definitely would book again, she's amazing!”

“Krista was very responsive when I reached out about catsitting and clearly wanted to make it a good experience for all involved. She did! I got many pictures of my sweet boy and a clear update on how he was doing when she visited. Thanks, Krista!”
“Amaya is consistent with her check-ins and patient with my cat who needs time to warm up to a new people. I’ve rebooked with Amaya a few times because I’m confident in the care she gives and her reliability gives me peace of mind.”
“He don’t falter in the face of adversity. He will battle tornado warning messages and rain alerts and still go and check on my meowisaurouses. Steve is one of the best!”
“Austin was great! He came over and met the cats before he took the job and we discussed any concerns we have. He gave us pictures of the kitties every time he took care of the cats, played with our youngest kitty every time, and was very understanding when we got the dates of our trip wrong. He even took in the recycling container that we left out and a giant Chewy box (which we were not expecting!). Will definitely consider hiring Austin again in the future if needed! :)”
“Janay did an excellent job taking care of our cat. She promptly responded to our messages and went out of her way to make our cat (who is a bit skittish) feel comfortable around her. Highly recommended!”
“Mandi is the best! She has done drop in visits with our two senior kitties several times now and she takes such great care of them. She is so easy to work with, a phenomenal communicator, and was so flexible when we asked if she could extend her visits to give our cats extra company after needs changed. Highly recommend Mandi!”
“Jess did a great job taking care of my cat! My cat hides from new people, and she still took the time to find her and send me a photo. The updates she wrote with each check-in always made me so happy. I had to rush and change my travel plans and she was incredibly accommodating, helpful, and was able to change my booking to reflect my new travel dates! I would highly recommend Jess to take care of your pets.”
“Pamela was very responsive and friendly! She came over beforehand for a meet and greet. She also sent a nice summary and pictures each day. I would highly recommend her!”
“Lynne was absolutely amazing!!! It was as so comforting knowing that our little Riley was taken so well care of while we were out with friends. The pictures and follow up notes on their time together was wonderful to receive. We will definitely be booking with Lynne again. She truly cares about our furry family members”
“Annalise did a great job taking care of my cat Gus! She was consistent in the time she came to feed him and even added an extra visit when our travel plans changed!”
“Cilyl is a great sitter, for pets and for house. She was able to interact with our timid cats, and her reports made me laugh and left me certain she cared for my cats and their well being. She also took care of our plants and mail/packages. She is reliable, personable and I strongly recommend her!”
“Alliyah watched our 15 y/o dog for 12 days while we were on spring break. She was easy to schedule with and communicative. Georgie seemed to really enjoy her visits and we recommend her!”
“Tucker was amazing — he took great care of my fur baby and provided pics regularly AND he was gracious and unflappable in the face of some unforeseen challenges. Flexible, great communicator, and left the house cleaner than he found it. Great with following directions and proactively taking care of all the things — he even noticed the light on the automatic feeder and refilled it before I even messaged him about the notification I’d received. Perhaps best of all, he saw AJ for the loving, playful kitty that he is—so I knew AJ was feeling comfortable and that he was in good, kind hands. Would definitely recommend to others and would be glad to have his help again!”
About: I’ve never met a cat I didn’t love. My family had cats throughout my childhood, and I now have two of my own. I am very comfortable with standard cat care and will make sure they are loved and cared for while you are away.

“Kristin and Bruce provided exceptional daycare services. My senior dog initially had anxiety being in a different home. Kristen and Bruce were very attentive and made her feel comfortable.”
“Gen was very responsive. She answered questions quickly and sent a lot of great pictures. My dog actually had a healthy amount of play and sleep instead of being overstimulated all day like she would at a traditional day care.”
“Fast response, super friendly. Taylor was able to take our pup at short notice so we could have a family outing and not worry about the dog. He played all day and had a great time.”
“Lindsey was great!! We were traveling from Virginia via California with our two dogs for a special family occasion and it was pleasure working with Lindsey! She really knows dogs, is kind, and our dogs were loved and cared for! She made sure to keep them safe and well loved. Thank you Lindsey!”
“Kulfi, my 2 year old, golden doodle, had a great time at Meghna and Divyajyothi's! They were able to take him in last minute during the Labor day weekend. They took him for a walk, shared pics throughout the day and were flexible with our requests! Kulfi had a great time with their dog as well. Will definitely keep them in mind for future stays!”
“Jenny and Darin were great! They provided updates throughout the day and took great care of our slightly anxious puppy :) Will definitely book with them again!”
“Eddie’s daycare stay at Cami & Christopher’s was great! Eddie was very comfortable in their home and enjoyed playing with their pup Brutus. Cami & Christopher provided regular updates and pics and took Eddie on multiple walks. Eddie and Brutus did not want to leave each other when it was time to go home! Thanks Cami & Christopher, Eddie looks forward to the next daycare visit at your place!”
“We are looking to find someone to board Ollie with for weekends. To start him out slow (he has separation anxiety), we had a Meet and Greet, a short (3hr) stay and later, a full day stay. Julie was clear that her dog Zilla's comfort with Ollie was a priority, which I fully support. I won't want to trust my dog to someone who isn't looking out for ALL the dogs involved. Julie was very responsive with messages, showed us around her home and yard and was generally very calm and patient. While the dogs didn't end up getting along well enough for this to work out long term, Ollie warmed up to Julie and was definitely as calm as I've seen him after being left.”
“Perfect. My pup went into Christina and Jeremy's house a little nervous and came out wagging. Christina and Jeremy were well set up, easy to work with and clearly like dogs. My guy will be back!”
“Christine was friendly and provided our energetic dog with lots of exercise and treats. Our dog was happy to hang out at her place on the second day of our stay in Madison!”
“Grace was great to work with! She was very quick to respond and provided me with the peace of mind that my dog was well taken care of. Highly recommend Grace to anyone in the Madison area!”
“Hanna saved me in a sticky situation where I needed to board my dog unexpectedly. She was able to alleviate my worries about my fur baby being cared for while I was out of the country and I can’t thank her enough!”
“Wolfy had such a great day with Mary and her family. He can back very happy, and Mary sent several lovely photos of his time. Mary was also flexible with me when my plans changed after booking, which was so appreciated.”

“Michelle is fantastic. I have a service dog who helps me with daily tasks. I was looking for a dog walker just for the winter months when it's hard to get around in my wheelchair. Michelle put me at ease right from the start by asking all the right questions about the appropriate commands to use before the first walk. The best part is that my dog always returns home fulfilled, tired and content. I'm so impressed that Rover offers experienced walkers, even for someone that has a specially trained dog like myself :)”
“My dog Theo really looks forward to his walks with Sara because she is very attentive and fun with him and he is learning new activities on the side. I love the photographs/movies and knowing he is great hands.”
“Austin does a great job of meeting the high energy needs of my pup, including taking him on a good distance walk and even upping the pace to a jog at times. It gives me great peace of mind to know he’s tuned in to the needs of my dog.”
About: Hello my name is Stephany Dos Santos and I have both baby sat and walked dogs for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of a wide range of dogs including Yorkshire, Gold Retriever, Mini Australian Shepherd, Poodle, Chihuahua , and etc. What you would love about me is that with my different experiences I could handle any dog because I treat them equally and also as if they were people. I am available any time of any day and to walk or sit your dog! I am a very funny and energetic individual which makes it easier for me to get along with dogs and run around with them. I would really love to be there when you need me most! Thank you for reading my profile and I hope to meet you! I currently work in a lab, and my schedule is pretty flexible than most other individuals. I am typically at work from between 2 to 4 hours a day. I have the flexibility to leave work whenever I need to and then if I needed to come back I could. Therefore if I am staying over And I see myself being at work for more than six hours a day, then I would just split my day and half and go home and walk or feed whichever animal I’m working with, then head back to work. I currently live in an apartment complex. It does allow animals. There is a large park by my complex, which, if there were a dog with me, I would take them there. In my apartment itself I have a lot of toys and it is a safe environment
“Hannah has been amazing with my dog. He’s a bit anxious and she has been incredibly patient with him and is building a strong bond with him. Hannah has been super communicative and has been great to work with all around!!”
“Highly recommend! Jiayi took the time to learn my dog and provide great care for her. My dog was able to relax and unwind with her and I had peace of mind knowing she was being cared for. Jiayi also does a great job with communication.”
“Pam is amazing with my dog Mila! She is quick to respond and flexible, which I really appreciate as my schedule varies week to week. Mila runs to the door every time she gets here. I can’t say enough positive things about our experience working with her.”
About: Hi! I’ve always had a huge love for animals and honestly can’t imagine life without them. I worked at PetSmart for 3 years as a Pet Care Associate, where I cared for all kinds of animals — from dogs and bunnies to lizards and other small pets. That experience taught me so much about animal behavior, patience, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I also know the doggy Heimlich maneuver, so your pet’s safety is always something I take seriously. I grew up surrounded by pets and now have two of my own as an adult, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm comforting presence, I’ll always treat them like one of my own ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle because animals are truly what I love spending my time around 🐾 I work 8–4 in Wisconsin Dells, and outside of work, caring for animals is honestly my favorite way to spend my free time. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping pets company, it never feels like a chore to me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy ❤️ I’ve always grown up with pets and currently have two of my own, so caring for animals has always been part of my daily life. I love creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away 🐶🐱 When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s home—I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and sticking closely to their normal routine 🐾 In my own home, I care for my two pets daily by making sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime, walks when needed, and a calm, clean environment. I really treat them like part of my family, and their well-being is a big part of my everyday life. When caring for a client’s pets, I bring that same level of care and consistency. I follow instructions closely, maintain feeding and potty routines, give lots of love and attention based on each pet’s personality, and always prioritize safety. I also pay attention to behavior and comfort so pets feel as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. With my experience working at PetSmart and years of caring for animals in both personal and professional settings, I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds and always aim to make them feel secure, loved, and at home!
About: I’ve cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs in addition to raising my own. From daily walks to overnight sitting, I’ve had experience keeping pets happy, comfortable, and on their routine. While most of my experience comes from personal care, I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel loved and comfortable. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends. With a flexible work from home schedule, I can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I also live with my family, including my stay at home mom, who is always around to provide companionship and dedicated care for your pet. We treat all dogs like family in our home. Your pup will have a friendly companion - our own dog, who loves having company. Pets are welcome to relax anywhere in the house, including on the furniture, and my dog is used to snuggling on the bed. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, while catering to their individual needs and routines.
About: I am a cat and dog lover! I have about two years of pet sitting experience. I grew up having cats and now have two of my own that are 2 and 3 years old. I am very reliable, organized, punctual, patient, and flexible. I recently finished grad school and am so excited to have time to get back to pet sitting! My cats are like children to me and I will take care of your pets like they’re my own. My priority is to keep your pets happy and keep you satisfied as a customer! I have a very flexible schedule and can do 30-60 minute drop-in visits or dog walks at any time throughout the day. I only offer drop-ins at this time due to also having my own cats at home. I offer drop in visits in your home where I will feed, clean up after, and play with your pets. I understand the importance of keeping pets entertained while their humans are away and I will spend time doing their favorite activities with them!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 12! I help my neighbors, family, and friends whenever I can. I love all animals :) I have 4 cats of my own! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday 10:30am to 7pm! I have plenty of time in the morning before work for pet care and after work. I'm not able to host pets at my home, but I bring the same level of care and attention directly to yours. I'm happy to follow your routine exactly — feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and all the snuggles your pet needs to feel safe and loved while you're away. I'll keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you always know how your fur baby is doing! :)
About: I have grown up with dogs and have one of my own. i’ve been to training classes with my dog. i’ve walked multiple dogs before as well as dog sitting. I work part time in the evening and have time for pets during the day before 3pm! As well as evening visits and boarding on the weekends! I have a good neighborhood and two easy accessible dog parks! I also have access to east transportation to meet you where you need and best fits for your dog!
“Makayla generously agreed to walk our dog on short notice. She took great care of my 105 lb Great Dane mix, communicated with us very clearly, and was flexible when I needed to swing by to meet a contractor while she was at the house. I’d work with her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve always been involved in taking care of my pets growing up. I have learned that building trust with dogs is the most important to grow a great relationship! Recently moved here- I work from home majority of the day as a full time photographer, so I have lots of flexibility to walk dogs when other owners are at work which seems to be really nice! I do not have the right facility to care for your dog at my home, so I am going to stick to drop in visits and walks.

About: I have a dog of my own and I’ve done boarding, drop ins and walks before. I’ve grown up with dogs in the house and have watched family friends dogs numerous amounts of times. I currently work full time (8-4:30) during the week, but can do evenings on week days and any time during weekends! I am very flexible and can make anything work! I can abide by whatever schedules/routines you have in place. If your dog likes to socialize, my dog would be a great buddy! I understand dogs need to follow certain rules and need to be let out/fed in a timely manner.
