“Karen is simply wonderful. She took our 8 week old Boxer over a long weekend. Despite our pup being so little, she was very willing to meet the dog beforehand to ensure all would work out. Her communication and pictures were wonderful as well. Our pup might sleep for a week after all the fun she had with Karen’s dogs! We are so thankful Karen loved our dog like her own!”
“Deanne was very welcoming as I plan on using her marvelous boarding again! She really cares and appreciates animals. Thanks so much Deanne for peace of mind while we are away from home!”
“I am so thankful for Joanne and the wonderful care she provided for our 16 yo pup, Ginger! Grateful for the wonderful home environment she welcomed Ginger into while we were gone. Appreciate that she works from home allowing her to be more available to tend to pups’ needs. Joanne kept in touch with us by sending occasional updates and pictures giving us peace of mind the entire trip. Thankful she was able to be flexible when we encountered travel related issues. I would definitely come back. Highly recommended!!”
“Sandy was great with my dog Bowser! She sent pictures and updates regularly. I felt extremely comfortable and knew my baby was in good hands with Sandy! Thank you Sandy!! We will see you again, Bowz is already looking forward to his next stay with you! 💕”
“Kam was an answer to my prayers! There are just sometimes I have to be away where my dog, a toy Aussie, can’t go, but I always hated taking him to a kennel. Somehow I found Rover and that led me to Kam. After a meet and greet I knew this was good. Kam, her family and her pets welcomed Cosmo in and treated him like family. She sent pictures several times a day. This was perfect for me to be able to leave him without feeling bad. He had lots of fun there. So glad I found Rover and Kam! It feels good!”
“She was very nice. She responded very fast and sent lots of pictures. She gave updates everyday and let me know how everything was going. Would definitely book with her again”
“Kylie was the best ever! I had a worry free vacation . She was very organized you can tell that she loves what she do! She sent us pictures of jazzy while we were gone she took her for walks and she also groomed her for us! She's so knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. The best experience ever! Thank You”
“Scott did a great job of introducing our dog to the other dog and they hit it off fabulously. He provided great photos throughout the day and updated me on what they were doing. I highly recommend Scott and Ashley and will certainly use them again”
“She took such good care of my puppy, she was in constant communication and sent pictures almost daily. She super spoiled my baby and he had a blast the whole time! She even went above and beyond and took him to be groomed at her shop.”
“Meagan and her family were very accommodating. They took good care of Maverick, who seemed to enjoy his time at Meagan's house. I would not hesitate to use her dogsitting services again.”
“Tracy is great! Good communication and pics throughout the stay. Juniper seemed to enjoy his time with his new dog friends. Super convenient, reasonable price and easy to book. I appreciate having my dog as a part of a family vs. a pet daycare or corporate pet boarding. My dog appreciates the kind of attention that he gets with Tracy. Definitely recommend!”
“Katy and DJ were great. I could tell our pups were in good hands and getting a lot of love while we were away. The daily updates and pictures were a great bonus.”
“My dog absolutely loves Kandice. She was amazing. She’s had my dog for boarding for 3 weeks and I’ve been able to pick my dog up and play with her and drop her back off after. Very accommodating and loves and cares for my dog like her own!”
“Amanda and her son were amazing with our dog Charlie! He's a big boy and can be a lot to handle but they didn't seem to have any issues. This was his first stay with them. He settled in almost immediately. It was just a short stay overnight and he actually ate a couple times. Often he food strikes for the first day or two so this shows he felt at ease with them. We will definitely be booking again for our future needs. Thanks Amanda!”
“I cannot say enough positive for this beautiful and loving family. They treated Ruby like their own and I could tell by the photos she was totally happy and comfortable. A huge thank you to Ashley and her girls for loving Ruby the way I do. I highly recommend and will be a repeat.”
“Debbie is a conscientious and caring dog sitter. She met with me and my dog prior to his first stay with her and asked some great questions! We will definitely seek out her care again!”
“We were at peace on our vacation while our dog Meadow stayed with Carol & Steve. Carol shared some fun photos throughout the week, and Meadow looked very happy as she was playing and getting lots of good attention. Thank you!”
“We could NOT have asked for a better pet sitter for our kitty than Carly! She was easy to coordinate with and very friendly. My favorite part was when she sent me photo and video updates of what our baby was up to. ?”

“We’ve been using Cayla for our Golden Retrievers since October 2025. She is wonderful! She really cares for the dogs and can tell that she really loves seeing them each time. She goes above and beyond for the dogs and us too. Cayla is also extremely dependable, which is huge for us. We feel VERY comfortable knowing that she is taking care of our babies on the days we work. We highly recommend Cayla!!”
“Kaylan has been a godsend for when I go out of town and forget to contact a sitter in a timely manner. She has been able to make strides with Arthur in a short period of time and I appreciate knowing that when I am away, Kaylan and Arthur will play! 😊”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was a child. I’ve owned cats personally and have also “cat sat” for friends and family, by providing check-ins, play, feeding, and litter box cleaning.
“Our cat Po’Boy is 17 years old and requires medications, several small meals per day and companionship when we are out of town. Tami, the Rover house sitter, did a great job of providing the services needed and communicated regularly on how Po’Boy was doing and was always on time for appointments. We enjoyed the pictures sent of Po’Boy. We will certainly be requesting Tami when we go on future trips.”
“Krysten was the perfect person to care for all of our fur babies! It was our first time using an app like this and Krysten guided us through it all, was so kind and caring, and even gave us her discount code. 12/10 amazing job!!! I was nervous about leaving my cat and bunnies with someone I didn’t know, but she cared for them like they were her own. She even left cute pictures and detailed descriptions every day so I didn’t feel anxious! Love love love Krysten and will book her again. :)”
“Stephanie was amazing! I was worried because this was my first time using Rover and going on a longer trip, but she kept me updated and sent photos daily. Even on days I couldn't respond during the wedding, she still made sure I was in the loop! She was flexible to work with and made the kitties felt loved. They were doing great when I got back, food was full, water was clean, and litter was doing good as well. I would definitely rebook her for other trips too!”
About: For the last 10 years I have been the go to pet-sitter for my family, friends and neighbors, and I can be for you also! I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and cats of all kinds. I have three cats of my own Roo, Gus and Noelle and I have taken care of itty bitty baby kittens and helped raised them up to go into their forever homes.
About: I had 2 cats and a dog growing up! No pets currently but happy to play and take care of yours! Currently cannot watch any pets at my home but happy to complete as many home visits as necessary as long as you are relatively close by:) I am not currently working full time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I am happy to discuss any extra care needed for your pet. I am happy to follow specific instructions/feeding schedules as needed. I will also completed any necessary home care tasks as wanted as long as discussed prior.
About: For some reason, every dog I've ever met loves me. I absolutely adore dogs. I've been dog sitting for 17 years for friends and family. I've taken care of shy, skittish, hyper, calm, anxious, and every other type of dog personality. I have a calming way about me that dogs love. I'm incredibly trustworthy, detail oriented, careful, loving, and protective. I am willing to help out in any way needed to make your dog as happy as possible. The dog in my profile is my former dog Roxy. I rescued her from a shelter. She was my best friend. No one would choose her for a forever home because she had a lot of social needs. I was able to work with her on these needs and did a lot of training and she became an amazing dog. I can't wait to meet your dog or dogs and give them the care that they need.
“Your Review Michelle Z. took care of my two cats, one of which is totally blind. I knew the first time I met Michelle, she was the right person for the job, but she far exceeded my expectations. She helped me troubleshoot getting rid of uninvited guests to the food bowls, volunteered to come for extra visits when the need arose, washed out the wet food cans before throwing in the recyclable bin and she kept the house, the floors, the litter boxes and the food bowls spic-and-span. I highly recommend Michelle, and will request her in the future, Lee R.”
“Morgan was great! She met with us prior to our visit to meet Gracie. She was prompt in responding to our request and questions. She took great care of Gracie for her drop in visit. Thank you Morgan!”
“Brandi is amazing cat sitter, our cats love her. When we came back after long trip, I feel like both of my cats didn’t feel we were gone at all. Thanks to her again. Definitely ask her to check our cats again in the future.”
“Madalyn is amazing! She does a very good job taking care of my boys while im away for work. She follows instructions extremely well, and the follow ups is excellent! I highly recommend Madalyn for your fur babies!”
About: I've had cats my entire life and have volunteered at an animal shelter. I've cared for four cats at once in another client's home and I've cared for three at once in my own. I've helped care for a senior pet that needed regular meds and frequent reprieves for bladder control.

“This was our first visit with Deanne. Doggy Daycare was a hit! Cash was happy when I picked him up. He was sound asleep on the couch within a 1/2 of getting home. I think he had a busy day with his new lil buddy!”
About: I have owned and loved dogs my entire life. I have cared for and taken care of dogs through all stages of their lives. I currently have a senior Australian Shepherd and a 4 year old Puggle. I currently work from home full time and am able to provide consistent potty breaks, attention, love, and care during the work week. On weekends, my schedule is open to provide even more time, love, and attention to your fur baby. I have a large backyard (not fenced in, but your dog would be supervised at all times on leashes). Dogs are always welcome in my home and I will treat them like family.
“Friendly, flexible, and most importantly my little dog seems super happy and worn out after spending the day playing with theirs! Seems like a safe and fun fit for my fur child and will continue to rebook!”
“This was first experience with a sitter as well as our puppy's first time with a sitter, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We appreciated the love, attention, and updates. He was well cared for, and we could tell he was happy and comfortable. Thank you for taking good care of him Max.”
“Katrina is super communicative and really friendly. Our pup seemed to be really comfortable with her, and her sweet dogs. We needed a new sitter and are feeling really positive about Katrina being a great fit.”
“Erin was an excellent host for Katie for daycare! She greeted Katie outside with a treat. We were updated with pictures throughout the day: including Katie playing with their dogs, relaxing like the queen that she is, and exploring the neighborhood on a walk. Erin was flexible with pickup times which really helped with a changing schedule due to travel delays. Already booked another stay for Katie.”
“We love Sandy and so do our dogs! We honestly don’t know what we would do without her. She takes such great care of our girls that they seem completely unimpressed when we come to pick them up at the end of each stay. Highly recommend!”
“Maria takes fantastic care of my dog and is always willing to work with my schedule. I know I can go to work and not have to worry when my dog is at her house,”
“My dog was living his best life during his 'Nealy Pack' daycare stays. The house and yard are ideally suited for dogs. He was given much love and attention, and her playful huskies got along splendidly with him. I received updates and hilarious pictures. Book your dog's care with Nealy”
“Heather took such great care of my girls! She responded quickly, sent lots of updates and the pups were good and tired when I picked them up. I will definitely be getting in touch with her next time I stay in Kenosha!”
“Service is always fantastic! They post on social media daily to let you see your pups! We love dropping Mabel off knowing she is in good care! Heated warehouse for playing and plenty of toys! There is also a rest period which is amazing. Mabel is always so tired when she comes home. They offer pet grooming services!!!”
About: I owned a dog growing up and cared for and trained one with my family. I sit for friends and family from time to time and I love to play and take dogs for walks and, if they are able, runs of up to a few miles! I have a fenced in yard, and my kids (4, 8) are also great with animals. I work from home. With the exception of rare travel days, school drop-offs, and evening events, I will always be around the house to care for your pup. Your pet will get the attention it needs, as I work from home and I have a fenced in yard, as well as young boys that are great with animals. Frequent outside visits and play times are very doable.
“Katie was ready for Brogdon when we arrived, and made drop off super easy. He didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up, so I think that’s a great sign :) Katie is easy to communicate with and clearly has lots of experience with animals. Glad we found her.”
“My dog Simba loves going to Kristine’s house for boarding and daycare! It makes me feel at ease that he is having fun, getting exercise, and not anxious there despite his high separation anxiety. Kristine sends pictures and loves all dogs like her own. Simba even knows which house is hers and sprints from the car to her front door! Would highly recommend!!!!”
“Carol and Steve are excellent hosts. Our Cavapoo is extremely anxious and they provided personal attention to keep him calm. I got multiple messages with photos that made me comfortable. Already reserved more days. I would highly recommend their services.”

“We use Carrie to let our dog out while at work and we couldn’t recommend her more!! This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we found her. She is reliable, a great communication and we love the photos we get from her. It is nice knowing our pup, Woody, is in good hands when she goes to take him on walks. You can tell Woody loves her as well. 10/10 recommend Carrie!!”
“Cayla is an amazing dog caretaker! She has a genuine love for animals, and it is apparent in her interactions with them. My dog is my baby, there is not many people besides my family and closest friends I trust with him, but Cayla is someone I can say I truly trust to take the best care of my pup! She makes each animal feel loved and special. I would very highly recommend Cayla!”
About: I’m a guy who falls in love with dogs instantly. Don’t want them back? No worries! Dogs instantly want to be my best friend and I’ve never met a dog that I didn’t like or that didn’t like me. I work from home. My dogs are part of the family. I would take care of your dogs as if they were my own children. I have a doggy door and outside kennel for the dogs to use as needed. I’m also happy to take dogs on a walk and my wife is a super dog walker. We have two dogs-a Pomeranian who is all love and a lab who’s an old girl but who is the best dog you’ll ever meet. I understand dogs. How they communicate, how they operate. I know how to get them to develop good habits.

“Very sweet to the puppy and takes her on good length walk. Also takes her out back to potty if she doesn’t go on the walk (which she never likes doing). Also is great about coordinating times.”
About: I grew up on a farm and ever since I can remember I’ve been taking care of animals. I now have a dog of my own. I know how todo basic training for dogs. I have also pet sitted animals for family and friends for years I currently work for my moms business so I can be flexible with time. I can take breaks whenever and ask off so I’m open most days. I have a fenced in area for my dog to run around it that could be available for play dates. I take my dog for a walk every day. My dog is also very friendly with other dogs so it could keep your dogs company.
About: I've been around animals my whole life! Family and friends have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets, both cats and dogs. I also worked for Wag, which I thoroughly enjoyed and learned so much about caring for pets. My schedule is extremely flexible and I only work part time, so I can care for your pets at almost any time of day, especially mornings and afternoons. In a client's home, the pets are in a familiar environment with an unfamiliar person. So, the first thing I do is give the pets a chance to get used to me! Let them sniff me, let them approach me at their own pace.
About: Hi! I’m originally from Madison, WI and recently moved to franklin. I absolutely love all animals and have over 16 years of experience caring for them,especially cats and dogs! I’ve fostered cats for more than 3 years and currently volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center, where I care for injured and orphaned animals. I’m also working toward a degree in Fish and Wildlife Science, so animals are truly a part of my daily life. I’m dependable, patient, and passionate about providing safe, loving care to all kinds of pets.whether they need snuggles, medication, or just someone to hang out with while you’re away! I work second shift, Monday to Thursday and some Fridays. I'm available until 2:00 pm and Fridays I'm either available all day or before noon. Perfect for those working first shift! I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely and make sure their home is treated with care. I keep feeding areas and litter boxes clean and tidy, and I’m respectful of the pet’s space and routine. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment for your pets.
About: For the last 10 years I have been the go to pet-sitter for my family, friends and neighbors, and I can be for you also! I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and cats of all kinds. I have taken care of itty bitty baby kittens and helped raised them up to go into their forever homes. I spent time working at a doggie daycare, where I gained some experience administering medications such as pills and eyedrops/eardrops. I, myself have three cats Roo, Gus and Noelle I am currently doing pet care full-time, and I can work with your schedule. I can be flexible, just let me know when you need me! With my own cats and I strive to take care of them the best I can, they get the best food, the best water, a lot of play and so many cuddles.

“Krysten is awesome. Great detailed notes, quickly contacted me when we realized we did not leave food out for Gidge. I would book with her again! Happy mom and pupper.”
About: Hi there! I’ve had the joy of caring for my mom’s and friends’ dogs over the years, and I was also a proud dog mom myself for over a decade. My sweet girl passed away last September, and while I’m not quite ready to bring another pup into my life full-time, I truly miss the companionship and would love the chance to care for your dog while you’re away. I have experience with senior dogs and pups who need special medical attention, including administering medication and monitoring health conditions like seizures. I understand how important it is to provide patient, attentive care—especially when a dog has unique needs. Whether your dog loves long walks or just relaxing on the couch, I’m happy to meet them right where they are. I’d be honored to give your pup the love, attention, and comfort they deserve in your absence. I work from home and occasionally out in the field, but I'm never gone for more than a few hours—and I can adjust my schedule to be home the entire time if needed. Outside of work, I am a homebody, so you never have to worry about your dog being alone at night. While I do not have a fenced yard, I have a small courtyard and live in a residential neighborhood, which is excellent for walking. Inside my home, your dog is free to go wherever they like. No place is off limits (I am used to having a sliver of the bed).
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable pet sitter with a true love for animals. I currently have a 6 year old Maltipoo and a cat, and I grew up with two Yorkies, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also worked in a veterinary clinic, which gave me experience with animal care and safety. I treat every pet like my own and can provide dog-sitting references upon request! I currently am very flexible and have an open schedule! I can work around schedules if need be. I’m used to taking my dog out early in the mornings. I care for pets by meeting their needs that they need. I can crate them if needed and have a clean and safe house. To make your fur babies comfortable.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—over 33 years of experience as a dedicated pet parent to dogs, cats, and even crabs and lizards. My deep love for animals led me to work as a veterinary assistant, where I gained hands-on experience with everything from basic care to administering medication and recognizing signs of illness. Whether your pet needs a playful walk, quiet companionship, or a little extra TLC, I bring patience, compassion, and confidence to every visit. I truly treat every animal like family. I work full-time but have a very pet-friendly schedule! I work remotely from home on Thursdays and Fridays, so I’m fully available and present from Thursday through Sunday with no interruptions—your pet will have plenty of attention and company during those days. From Monday to Wednesday, I work a regular 8–5 schedule outside the home, but I always come home mid-day for a full hour-long lunch break to let pets out, go for a walk, or give them some love and attention. I make sure their needs are met and they’re never left alone for too long. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. In my home, we have a cozy and pet-friendly environment with a small fenced-in yard perfect for safe outdoor play. I share my home with two friendly dogs, a sweet cat, an animal-loving teenager, and my equally pet-obsessed boyfriend—so your furry friend will never be short on attention or companionship. Whether your pet prefers quiet spaces or social time, I can easily adjust the environment. Rooms can be closed off for privacy or opened up for free roaming, depending on your pet’s personality and needs. I strive to make every pet feel at home, cared for, and secure—whether they’re here for a short stay or a longer visit.
