“Sarah did a great job with our highly anxious dog. I know she was really stressed being away from our family, so we appreciate all Sarah did. She worked with us when we had to adjust who picked our dog up and we had no issues.”
“Emma took very good care of my lab mixes. They enjoyed their walks and being outside in their big back yard. They're older dogs so didn't play much but felt Emma did a wonderful job meeting their needs!”
“5 stars!! ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 💫 ⭐️ Jessica is amazing! She graciously dealt with our uncertain and hetic schedules. She went over and above, driving to my home to pick my dog up. Even when he was initially bashful/scared, she waited and took extra time. Gave him extra love and care, car rides, treats, and nap time together. I felt he was safe, content, and at ease while in Jessica’s home. We will definitely be hiring her again!!”

“Rebecca was very friendly and welcoming to our dog. She has a large yard and enjoys being outdoors, so your dog will have lots of fun roaming the yard and stretching their legs. She’s a passionate dog lover and has experience which made us feel comfortable leaving our senior dog. We would use her services again!”

“Val took amazing care of our dogs and also was extra attentive in walking us through the entire Rover experience since this was our first time. We picked up very happy and healthy dogs today and couldn’t have been more thrilled by the experience. Thank you so much, Val! Because of you and your updates/pictures we were able to take a much needed vacation without worrying about our fur babies.”
“Tessa did an amazing job watching Rena. She gave the best pup-dates complete with pictures and videos so we had peace of mind knowing our gal was doing ok!

“Meghan and her loving family were so sweet, gentle, and loving to our dog Nolo. He is a sweet dog but also quite human-like in his peculiarities. They welcomed him in and he immediately knew he was staying with them. He looked back with hesitation as I left him in the arms of 6 petting hands. He watched TV with the family and laid under the dinging table and on the couch!! He naturally received a beauty treatment and hair brushing with ease. I could see he felt right at home. Meghan’s family was fantastic and they were all natural caretakers. Nolo will happily go back in the future. Thanks Meghan!”

“Samantha was wonderful! She was great with communication and left me feeling totally confident leaving my cat in her care. Would recommend and rebook with her again in a heartbeat!”
“Sabrina was wonderful with my little kitten, Basil! Having never had a sitter watch her before, I wasn’t sure how she would do with strangers and it turn out she’s a little shy. Sabrina was so patient with her and did such a good job of making Basil feel as comfortable as she could. I was really impressed with the detailed updates Sabrina gave while I was away as well. Would highly recommended her services!”
“Kelly is awesome! My pups took to her right away. She gave an update and sent pictures for each drop in visit. I will definitely be using her for future bookings! Thanks so much Kelly 😃”
“Stephanie was terrific!! Sent me pics of my happy kitties getting attention while we were away from home. Really comforted us and our elderly cat who would not have made it through a stay at a kennel. Took care of everything we asked. Happy all around!!”

“Hayley is amazing! I recommend her wholeheartedly. She takes amazing care of my cats, and they are happy to see her every time she comes! I even confused the dates when I booked her, and she was still able to come and help me out on a day I hadn't included. She's wonderful!!”
“Laura is definitely the sitter you need if your pets have medical issues. She is able to give my one cat his pills and the other cat, an insulin shot. She also sends very cute pictures which gives you a peace of mind that they are in good hands.”
“Caleigh is terrific. She has made it easy for us to go away and not have to worry about our cat. She is patient and kind. Our cat has attitude and Caleigh took the time to meet with our cat and allowed her to get to feel comfortable with Caleigh, which was amazing because we have family members who have never been able to get our cat to feel comfortable. At home we call her "Caleigh the cat whisperer". I've already recommended her to all my family and friends who need a cat sitter!”

“Sarah and her pack did awesome!!! Can't thank her enough for taking in Winnie on such short notice. When I picked up Winnie I was taken back at how much Winnie had bonded with Sarah in such a short period of time. Sarah was aware of Winnie's IBD issues and updated me on how she did. I really appreciated her for that!!!! This family definitely loves dogs!!!”
“Nicole is absolutely wonderful. I came to her with a dog who was super anxious at his last sitter (to no fault of the sitter), stubborn, and a senior, and she is so understanding and kind. Ollie is vocal and set in his ways, and she was able to make his experience super positive and he really seemed to like her. I will absolutely be booking her anytime she is available, and as long as she wants Ollie back.”
“Maura welcomed my girls with open arms! I strongly recommend her services. She treated our girls like her own. She sent us photos while the girls were in her care and even packed a treat bag for them when we picked our girls up! Thanks again Maura!💕🐶🐶🐶💕”
“Absolutely amazing experience with our dog sitters! 🐾 They took such incredible care of my mini dachshunds, Nugget and Muffin, and treated them like their own. I got updates, photos, and total peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious how much they truly love animals, and my pups came home happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. Nugget and Muffin can be a little spoiled and needy at times, but they were so patient, attentive, and loving with them. I honestly couldn’t ask for better people to trust with my dogs. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitters! 💕”
“Shelly was so great with my Vinnie. It was his first time staying with Shelly and he clearly had a blast. He came home happy but exhausted - perfect win. I'm so grateful Shelly was willing and able to care for Vinnie on pretty short notice - we will definitely be back :)”
About: Thanks, Hi, I’m Rylea! I’m a 24-year-old animal lover who has been in the animal care field my entire life. My passion for animals continues to grow with every new experience. I’ve worked as a caregiver at an animal boarding facility, volunteered for 7 years as a Feline Friend at the Dane County Humane Society, worked as a veterinary technician, and spent time in doggy daycare. I now run my own dog grooming business, where I specialize in compassionate, personalized care for every pup. One day, I hope to open a doggy daycare and boarding facility to provide even more services to the pets and people in my community. I’m a flexible, caring person who truly enjoys connecting with pets and their people. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them the love and attention they deserve! I'm the proud owner of a dog grooming business. I love all animals and at this time have plenty of time to also help pet owners who need a good dog sitter or dog walker. In my own home I have a wide open yard but also a fenced in area. I tend to take care of pets in the ways that the owners prefer, to keep the normal routine even though they are in a different home. I also have a dog that loves to play and go on walks so I make it part of my life. My dog would love to have a Friend to play with. If I go to a client's house I tend to follow order on what owners do or want done during the day. It is very important. I would treat your animals as I would my own to create a bond and trust with them.

I am available after 3:30 to tend to animals during the school year. I have a fenced in back yard and take our own dog for a walk daily. We have one dog, 2 cats, and one hamster. They are all very friendly.

About: I genuine care and give attention to every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with puppies who are still learning routines, including basic training and potty schedules, and I’m also gentle and mindful with senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or extra comfort. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I currently work only 2 days out of the week, but my schedule is very flexible, and can switch days if need be! Will accommodate I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable and follow the routine they’re used to. In a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention so pets feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and make sure pets stay on their normal schedule. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean environment with supervised play, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of affection. I always pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and any special instructions from the owner to make sure they feel happy and cared for.

About: I love playing with and keeping dogs active and healthy, and love to treat them like they’re my own. I really like going for walks, to the park, or wherever it is that makes them smile and have fun! I have been taking care/sitting for various friends dogs for a few years, and for my moms dog since I moved out, whenever she needs help. I also had numerous dogs growing up, and have a puppy now! I am very flexible and eager to please, and I love to help anyone out to make their and their dogs lives easier/better.*while you’re on a fun vacation away, your dog will be on a fun vacation back home with me!* I teach September-June during the day so I can let out before and after work, and during the summer I am free all day long!! I always provide a gentle and calming presence when visiting a pet’s home. I want to make sure they are comfortable with my being there, so patience and calmness is something I find really important. Of course if they’re happy to play and get snuggles, I am happy and SO willing to do that too! That’s my favorite.
About: Hi! I’m a college student at the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point and a huge animal lover. I currently work in a doggy daycare and pet boarding facility, so caring for animals is something I do every day—not just as a hobby, but as a job I genuinely love.I have hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments through my job in doggy daycare and boarding. This means I’m comfortable with: Handling multiple dogs at once Reading dog behavior and body language Managing high-energy and shy/anxious dogs Feeding routines and administering basic care I also come from a family farm, so I’ve been around animals my whole life and am used to responsibility, early mornings, and consistent care. I currently work part time as a CNA in Stevens Point. I’m looking for the opportunity to spend more time with animals whenever I can, as they are such a big part of my life. Personally, sitting in the clients home would work best for me, as I am a college student living with a few other roommates, which can be difficult for having pets here :)
About: I grew up on a farm, which is pretty much where my animal obsession began! I was surrounded by cows, pigs, horses, chickens, cats, dogs — basically if it had fur, feathers, or hooves, I probably helped take care of it. Growing up around so many different animals taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and how every animal has their own unique personality. Ever since then, animals have just naturally been a huge part of my life! I’m a full-time nurse with a flexible schedule, since I only work 3–4 days a week. That means I have plenty of time, energy, and attention to dedicate to your furry friends! Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I love making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I accommodate to every pets needs! I have crates, I do structured playtime and go on long walks to exert energy. I also have a friendly dogs who would love to keep your pet company.

About: I have helped take care of animals ever since I was 5. Over the years, I have dog sat for friends and neighbors along with providing support when needed. I have never not had a pet and have always made sure to do my research to ensure I am treating any pet in the best way possible along with ensuring what is and isn’t safe for different animals. I have many friends that come to me first when they need help, especially with their animals. Many of my friends have called me a dog whisperer. I currently work full time from home as an accountant. I tend to be home most weekends and my hours make it very easy to fit any animal into my schedule. I have 2 rabbit currently at my home and my neighbors have a dog, cats, and chickens. I would always make sure that the animal is supervised as I know how important a pet is and the responsibility necessary to ensure it stays safe. I did recently have a baby as well that would be joining me most of the time. I work from home full time and recently had a baby that I take care of full time too. As long as animals are comfortable with a baby, I am always happy to help out. I provide safe, reliable, and loving care for pets in my home or my client’s home by following their normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and medication if needed. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and comfort. I also monitor their behavior closely and keep owners updated for peace of mind.

“Thanks Dayna! We appreciate you taking care of Sammy today. Thanks for giving him snuggles and love while it rained! He likes perfect weather and that’s about it lol. Glad you guys got out before it started raining ! Thanks again !!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life from family dogs to neighborhood dogs. From walks to just potty breaks I can provide the best care. I am currently training my own puppy to be the best hunting companion. He has learned to love his kennel and that it is his quiet space. I work part time Monday through Wednesday I am home by 2pm but need time to let my own puppy have some outside time. Thursday and Friday I am home all day other than the occasional appointments. I am able to spend up to two hours with your pet getting the wiggles out or learning some of the basics. Weekends are my family time so I am mostly unavailable other than a random Saturday if my partner ends up working. At my home we are fenced in on 3 sides from neighbors but I have a tie out available. At your home I am comfortable with crates or not and Im willing and able to clean up any mess your furry companion may make. I am comfortable with walking with a harness or not.
About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician and have experience in pet sitting and the veterinary field for the past 20 years. I owned a pet sitting business for 5 years (2008 - 2012) and experience in general practice, emergency, specialty, and shelter medicine. Having a medical background allows me to pick up on medical issues and emergencies in a timely fashion, allowing for treatment if necessary. I am also able to administer medications as needed. I treat others' dogs the same way I treat my own pets and keep daily routines as close to their normal as much as possible. I work full time at a clinic and part time at the local humane society. I am available limited days during the week for walks and drop in services. Please see the calendar for up to date availability! I discuss your pets routine with you so I can keep it the same as possible during my visits. This helps keep your pet's schedule uninterrupted and allows for calmer and happier experiences!
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and I currently have two of my own...Tripp and Lilly! Dogs are such an important part of my life, and I’ll care for your pup like they’re one of my own. I always go above and beyond to make sure dogs feel safe, loved, exercised, and happy while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or extra attention, I’m committed to providing the best care possible. I also have a reliable vehicle and can transport dogs to local dog parks if they need more exercise than a walk can provide or if you don’t have a yard available. I work full-time in Madison Monday through Friday during standard business hours, so I may not be the best fit for services that require potty breaks or walks during those times. However, I do occasionally have flexibility in my schedule and may be able to accommodate certain requests, so please don't hesitate to ask if I can make it work. My evenings and weekends are typically very flexible and available. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I’d love to chat and see if I’d be a good fit for your pup! :)
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, starting with in-home dog sitting as a teenager and continuing ever since. I have extensive experience with larger breeds, including German Shepherds and other high-energy dogs, and I’m very comfortable handling strong, active personalities. I’m also a Malinois owner, so I understand the level of structure, exercise, and attention that working breeds need. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just consistent, reliable care, I’m someone you can trust to treat them like my own. In addition to dogs, I’ve also provided in-home care for cats and am comfortable with a variety of temperaments and needs. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am a part-tome firefighter/paramedic and have a fairly flexible schedule. I typically end up having a lot of days free especially this summer. Reach out with your needs and we can see what we can work out! I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for your pets. As a firefighter/paramedic, I’m trained to stay calm, aware, and handle unexpected situations quickly and responsibly. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive to behavior changes and make sure your pet is always secure on walks and in the home. I’m experienced with large and high-energy dogs, so I’m confident handling strong or reactive dogs safely. Clear communication is important to me, and I’ll keep you updated so you always feel comfortable and informed while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals my whole life, including my own, friends, and family’s pets. Through high school and college I volunteered at a rescue that specialized in cats. Most recently I worked at a county animal shelter as an animal caretaker. Through the shelter I have had training in handling and care of almost every pet imaginable, as well as extra training in dog behavior. I also have training in foster of special needs / challenging behavior dogs, as well as neonate kitten care. I have experience giving many types of medications as well as iv fluids. I am currently solely focusing on providing pet care, so it is very easy for me to adjust my schedule to accommodate whatever needs your pet may have. I will care for your babies in whichever way you want. In my home, my dog kids are allowed inside or outside whenever they want and are not kenneled. But I will do my best to be consistent with whatever schedule they are used to. I also enjoy jogging if your pup would prefer a faster paced walk.

“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!”
“Heather took fantastic care of our dog while we were away. She sent us pictures and updates and made sure our dog got outside to enjoy plenty of exercise. It felt like our pup was part of her family. I would highly recommend reaching out to Heather if you’re looking for a quality Rover!”
“Meghan and her loving family were so sweet, gentle, and loving to our dog Nolo. He is a sweet dog but also quite human-like in his peculiarities. They welcomed him in and he immediately knew he was staying with them. He looked back with hesitation as I left him in the arms of 6 petting hands. He watched TV with the family and laid under the dinging table and on the couch!! He naturally received a beauty treatment and hair brushing with ease. I could see he felt right at home. Meghan’s family was fantastic and they were all natural caretakers. Nolo will happily go back in the future. Thanks Meghan!”
“Last minute booking and sitter was super accommodating! Kept me posted with pics and videos. I felt super comfortable and that my pup was in good hands as soon as I walked in the door! Highly highly recommend!”
“The friendliest family! I had car issues and Martha came to the rescue to grab my dog from the side of the road AND dropped her off at the end of the stay. My favorite rover provider to date”
“Brad was a good boarder for our dog, Bear. He provided a few messages about how Bear was settling in and getting on throughout his stay. Bear had nothing but good things to say about his stay with Brad. 5/5 would recommend. Just don't book him on the dates I'll need him!”
“Lindsey was great with my dog! She made sure to update us with photos and activities throughout the days. Thank you Lindsey for showering my fur baby with love and lots of walks!💕”
