“Katy & Dennis did an excellent job of taking care of our troop of 3 poodles! They are friendly and very accommodating with our pets. We received pictures throughout their stay which was fun to see...especially all 3 sitting at the same time! Thanks for watching our pups while we were away!”
“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!!”
“Scott & Ashley were wonderful. They took in our dog Kiko and my daughter's dog Ellie, while we were all on vacation in the UK for 10 days. They sent daily updates with photos and they have a great yard for dogs with a fenced in backyard. Scott & Ashley took both dogs for walks twice a day and the although we brought crates for both dogs, they ended up sleeping with both of their boys, which was fine with us and I'm sure Kiko and Ellie loved it! We will certainly contact Scott & Ashley through Rover.com, when the need arises again.”
“No words! As per usual, I procrastinated and needed a pet sitter for two large dogs over Christmas. Kylie was able to accommodate them and upon introduction she bonded with them immediately. I would not hesitate a second to board with her again. A++++++ rating!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sarah accommodated our last-minute request to watch our 3-month-old puppy for two days. Rip and Mayla were so friendly and playful when we stopped by for a meet and greet. And Sarah's obvious expertise and calm demeanor made it clear that this was a good fit for us. She was always quick with responses, sent daily updates with several pictures spanning the course of the day, and gave a very thorough rundown of how our puppy did his entire time there when we arrived to pick him up. It was clear that she had his best interests at heart. And any time we need a puppy sitter, she will be the first person we contact. 10/10 Highly recommend.”
“Jenifer took great care of Hazelnut while we were on vacation. Hazelnut is a little shy but took to Jenifer right away. Jenifer is very responsive and sent us lots of cute pictures while we were away. A+”
“Ellen is amazing!! When I was seeking someone to care for my Finnish Lapphound, I needed to find that special person who cared as much as I do, Ellen is that person. She provided us updates throughout his stay. Their fenced in backyard, is a doggie heaven! We will definitely use her services again!! Rest assured that your pet is in safe and loving hands under Ellen's care. Thank you Ellen!!”
“This is Rusty's third time staying with Anna and her family and she always takes such good care of him! He loves going there and we can always head out on vacation knowing he's in great hands!”
“Joanne was absolutely wonderful with our dog, she was very responsive to our request, accommodating to our time windows, and kept in communication with us the entire time we were gone. She was so loving and welcoming to our dog that he didn’t even want to come home! Highly recommended!”
“They were great! Mikeale was very communicative & quick with responses, sent daily updates with pictures, and accommodated my short-notice stay. Ruby was very tired when she got home <3.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we didn't know quite what to expect. We set up a meet and greet to make sure it would be a good fit. As soon as my dog got out of the car, I could tell she was going to like it there. Alex was very communicative during the whole stay and sent daily pictures of how my dog was doing. This made us very happy to know she was in good hands while we were gone. We will definitely work with Alex again!”
“Nina has stayed with her twice now, and both experiences have been absolutely wonderful. She treats Nina with so much love, patience, and care that I always have complete peace of mind while I’m away. I always receive updates and photos, and it is clear that Nina is happy, safe, and loved. Seeing how comfortable and relaxed Nina is with her means everything to me. She has earned my complete trust, and she will always be my first choice whenever I need someone to care for Nina. I recommend her with all my heart. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my little girl!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She updated daily and made sure our babies were so well taken care of. She went above and beyond and I’m so grateful we chose to book with her. I will absolutely be booking her for any future needs for our pups.”
“Brittany took excellent care of our Rescue Dog Lacie. She sent me updated pictures of her playing and running with the other dogs. I'd recommend her to anybody that needed to board their Dog ?.”
“My dog stays with Doreen for 8 days. He needs medication twice a day. Doreen has taken care of him very well and keep us informed daily with picture. Thanks, Doreen.”
“Rebecca provided kind and insightful care, recognizing how to best make our 12 year old dog feel comfortable while we were away for 2 weeks. He was calm and pleasantly tired after his visit :). We appreciated knowing Charlie was at the home of a dog lover receiving personal, excellent care!”

“Brenna was amazing. My shy and cautious cat accepted her right away. She went above and beyond my expectations, and I highly recommend her. She was communicative and punctual. She provided pictures and updates and even took care of my plants!”
“We had such a great experience with Aubrey! Before we ever left, she took the time to come over and meet our cats, which meant so much to us. She asked thoughtful questions, paid attention to their personalities, and made sure she understood their routines and preferences. It immediately put us at ease knowing she cared enough to build that connection ahead of time. Our cats were comfortable and well cared for, and it was clear they recognized her when she came back. We truly appreciated the extra effort and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate cat sitter.”
“Shannon did a great job checking on Mango and Carley while we were on vacation. It was nice receiving pictures of my cats each day, knowing they were well taken care of for us. Thanks Shannon!”
“Alysha did such a nice job with watching our cats. The were fed, litter boxes cleaned and got some play time with her. Leading up to it she was very prompt in answering questions. We will happily have her come again to watch our cats!! Thanks Alysha!!”
“Cindy did a wonderful job caring for my three cats during out family vacation this spring. She was responsive, sent wonderful photos and videos of my kitties, and left a lovely daisy and note on the last day. She even had my shy cat, Murphy, playing with her and letting her hold him. I highly recommend Cindy and will be calling on her in the future for pet sitting!”
“We were so fortunate to have Hayley as our pet sitter! We had many concerns about leaving our pets and needed help. She was amazing! She is knowledgeable, compassionate and handled our old high need dogs with confidence. It all went so well!”
“Tori was great with our very shy indoor cat and two skittish outside cats. She was very caring and professional the entire time we were gone and let us know about a small problem that was happening in the house. We highly recommend Tori.”
About: I have had cats in my family since the day I was born. Currently, there are five cats in my home and I help care for all of them! I make sure they are fed, have their water changed, and have their litter scooped every day. I have lots of experience with cats of all ages from 2-month-old kittens to 20-year-old seniors. I have been trusted to help take care of other people’s cats as well, and I hope you can trust me now to do the same! I am a college student, and so I am busy on weekdays during the school year, but during the summer, I am happy to do all weekdays and weekends during working hours (depending on my schedule with any other jobs) while you are on a trip that requires leaving your cats at home.
“Katie is amazing! She was available for a last minute request and I could tell my boys adored her. She took pictures and sent me a nice report detailing their visit together. Would absolutely recommend booking with Katie!”
“She is very helpful and dedicated to being the best. I will always use her service if needed in the future. She kept in communication and sent many updates and pictures! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR BEING YOU”
“Ramsey stepped in last minute to care for our kitties and was wonderful! She took such great care of them and kept us updated with plenty of photos and video! We are so thankful to find someone we trust when we are away who love our kitties like we do!”
“DeeDee is great! Our cats loved her! She was very timely with her communication and her care. We will definitely schedule with her for our next trip. You get a message when the care check in starts and when it is done. She also adds a couple pictures of the animal(s) so you can see that they are happy and doing well. Great all around experience!”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. As a special education teacher, I spend my days building trust, creating routines, and providing individualized support—skills that translate naturally to pet care. I have experience with both dogs and cats, from energetic young pets to seniors who need a gentler approach. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while providing owners with peace of mind through dependable care and updates. 🐾💕
About: I’ve owned cats my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally for me. I currently own a cat of my own, finnigan, and he means the absolute world to me. Because I know how much pets are part of the family, I treat every cat with the same patience, attention, and care that I give my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playing and respecting each cats unique personality. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, and keep you updated with photos and messages so that you can have peace of mind.
About: Growing up I always had animals (dogs, hamsters, a guinea pig, a turtle, a cat, sugar gliders) and can’t imagine my life without animals. I adopted my pup right out of college, I know that sometimes it takes a village raising & caring for pets! I love dogs of all breeds, shapes & sizes ❤️ I have dog &cat sat for family members & love doing so! I’m happiest around animals. I’ve walked, played, fed, bathed, and have given medicine to dogs and am comfortable doing so. I promise to send cute pics of them too! I work very part time in the summers which gives me plenty of availability to stop by and love, play with, and/or walk your pet!! I will ensure your pet has food/water, is left where you’d want them (in a certain room, crate, etc), and any other specifics you need or want before I leave! Growing up around animals and having 2 rescues myself I understand that some animals need extra time to warm up &/or certain things (covered crate, routine, medicine, etc.) to help them feel safe and comfortable. I will work with you and try my best to ensure that your pet has whatever he/she needs to feel safe and comfortable!
About: I may be new to professional cat sitting, but I’ve spent years caring for animals including my own cats, dogs, and goats as well as cattle, sheep, llamas and alpacas, horses, birds, and chickens. Cats hold a special place in my heart, and I understand how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and respected in their own space, especially when the people they normally live with aren’t home. I will make sure your cats are fed as closely to their regular routine as possible and will clean the litter box as often as you request. I’m here to make sure your cat receives the attention and enrichment they need while you're away no matter whether they’re playful, shy, or just want a warm lap to nap on. You can count on me to treat your cat (and your home) with even better care than I’d give my own.
About: I am an experienced Certified Veterinary Technician with 20 years experience - general practice, emergency, specialty, and shelter medicine!

About: Caring for others (especially animals) is truly my passion! I was a nanny for over 5 years which opened me up to pet care as well. Since most families I worked for had pets, I took on the responsibility of caring for them as well as their children. Hi there! Just a little bit about me! Caring for others (especially animals) is genuinely my passion! I was a nanny for over four years which opened me up to pet care as well. Since most families I worked for had pets, I took on the responsibility of caring for them as well as their children. I do not work outside of the home which means I can dedicate all of my time to your pet! I usually take one booking at a time, so if your pet doesn’t get along with other pets that’s no problem.

“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!!!”
“My dog had a great time staying at Tina and Cameron's for a fun-filled day of daycare. She enjoyed two walks, got to run around in their large fenced in backyard, and was able to socialize with their two dogs! Tina was so sweet and I felt really comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. You can tell right away that her and Cameron are extremely knowledgeable and have a lot of experience in caring for dogs. My dog came home very happy and ready for a nap - perfect! :) Definitely will be a repeating customer!”

About: Hello! My family and I love animals. We've been on Rover since January 2024! We currently have 2 indor cats and have backyard chickens (in coop) that are pets and lay eggs for us. We live in a quiet Hartland neighborhood in a cul-de-sac that is very low traffic. Part of our yard is fenced for play and potty breaks, and I love taking walks around our neighborhood. The majority of the week, my husband is working from home or I am home. The longest your pet may be left is 6 hours if staying with us during the work week. So usually someone is there to spend time with your pet! We are available any day of the week for boarding. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac. I always practice sit-stay when opening the door to prevent bolting out. Part of our yard is fenced and outside the fence your pet will always be leashed. If I am away for a short period and it's needed for safety or per your preference, we do have a large crate and an enclosed pet gate.

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.
About: While I’m new to formal pet sitting, I’ve spent almost 15 years caring for a wide range of animals — from my own pets and livestock to friends' livestock. I grew up around animals and have hands-on experience with my own dogs and cats as well as various farm animals. Whether it’s feeding schedules, administering basic care, or simply giving animals the attention and enrichment they deserve, I treat every animal like one of my own. I’m dependable, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. If you're looking for someone who understands animal behavior, respects routines, and will treat your pets with care and compassion — I’d love to help. I ensure my goats get fed and have clean water daily. They get weekly enrichment. I also ensure my dog and cat have food and clean water multiple times a day and I provide frequent enrichment for them all day. Pets deserve the same hazard free, clean homes that humans do. I keep my house clean and provide clean food and water to my pets, and would do the same for yours.

So I have some free time to help you and your fur babies out!! I can come to your house to walk your fur baby and give them all the pets they could need. I am willing to do anything else your dog/pet requires during the day :)
About: I have a rescue dog so I have a lot of patients! I’ve always loved animals and I’m working towards volunteering for a foster company! I am working part time so I have a lot of time on my hands to help take care of others pets! I will be able to spend a lot of quality time with your pup! I have a crate if needed for your dog. I do have a fenced in backyard that has multiple toys for dogs. If I come to your house I will follow any rule you have for animals and people in your home.
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!

“Katy & Dennis did an excellent job of taking care of our troop of 3 poodles! They are friendly and very accommodating with our pets. We received pictures throughout their stay which was fun to see...especially all 3 sitting at the same time! Thanks for watching our pups while we were away!”
“Scott & Ashley were wonderful. They took in our dog Kiko and my daughter's dog Ellie, while we were all on vacation in the UK for 10 days. They sent daily updates with photos and they have a great yard for dogs with a fenced in backyard. Scott & Ashley took both dogs for walks twice a day and the although we brought crates for both dogs, they ended up sleeping with both of their boys, which was fine with us and I'm sure Kiko and Ellie loved it! We will certainly contact Scott & Ashley through Rover.com, when the need arises again.”
“No words! As per usual, I procrastinated and needed a pet sitter for two large dogs over Christmas. Kylie was able to accommodate them and upon introduction she bonded with them immediately. I would not hesitate a second to board with her again. A++++++ rating!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sarah accommodated our last-minute request to watch our 3-month-old puppy for two days. Rip and Mayla were so friendly and playful when we stopped by for a meet and greet. And Sarah's obvious expertise and calm demeanor made it clear that this was a good fit for us. She was always quick with responses, sent daily updates with several pictures spanning the course of the day, and gave a very thorough rundown of how our puppy did his entire time there when we arrived to pick him up. It was clear that she had his best interests at heart. And any time we need a puppy sitter, she will be the first person we contact. 10/10 Highly recommend.”
“Jenifer took great care of Hazelnut while we were on vacation. Hazelnut is a little shy but took to Jenifer right away. Jenifer is very responsive and sent us lots of cute pictures while we were away. A+”
“Ellen is amazing!! When I was seeking someone to care for my Finnish Lapphound, I needed to find that special person who cared as much as I do, Ellen is that person. She provided us updates throughout his stay. Their fenced in backyard, is a doggie heaven! We will definitely use her services again!! Rest assured that your pet is in safe and loving hands under Ellen's care. Thank you Ellen!!”
“This is Rusty's third time staying with Anna and her family and she always takes such good care of him! He loves going there and we can always head out on vacation knowing he's in great hands!”
“Joanne was absolutely wonderful with our dog, she was very responsive to our request, accommodating to our time windows, and kept in communication with us the entire time we were gone. She was so loving and welcoming to our dog that he didn’t even want to come home! Highly recommended!”
“They were great! Mikeale was very communicative & quick with responses, sent daily updates with pictures, and accommodated my short-notice stay. Ruby was very tired when she got home <3.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we didn't know quite what to expect. We set up a meet and greet to make sure it would be a good fit. As soon as my dog got out of the car, I could tell she was going to like it there. Alex was very communicative during the whole stay and sent daily pictures of how my dog was doing. This made us very happy to know she was in good hands while we were gone. We will definitely work with Alex again!”
“Nina has stayed with her twice now, and both experiences have been absolutely wonderful. She treats Nina with so much love, patience, and care that I always have complete peace of mind while I’m away. I always receive updates and photos, and it is clear that Nina is happy, safe, and loved. Seeing how comfortable and relaxed Nina is with her means everything to me. She has earned my complete trust, and she will always be my first choice whenever I need someone to care for Nina. I recommend her with all my heart. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my little girl!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She updated daily and made sure our babies were so well taken care of. She went above and beyond and I’m so grateful we chose to book with her. I will absolutely be booking her for any future needs for our pups.”
“Brittany took excellent care of our Rescue Dog Lacie. She sent me updated pictures of her playing and running with the other dogs. I'd recommend her to anybody that needed to board their Dog ?.”
“Rebecca provided kind and insightful care, recognizing how to best make our 12 year old dog feel comfortable while we were away for 2 weeks. He was calm and pleasantly tired after his visit :). We appreciated knowing Charlie was at the home of a dog lover receiving personal, excellent care!”
“Remi did very well staying with Marie and her family. She was wonderful with him! She took him for walks and he also got lots of play time. She updated us often while we were gone as to how he was doing and also sent lots of pics. We will definitely use her as a sitter again!”
“Our Golden Retriever LOVES spending the day at David's when we head up to Green Bay for family events, and I can tell by the pictures that David sends (and how she didn't want to leave David and her dog friends at pick up time) that Arie had an even better time staying overnight for a few days. So glad we found David, and never have to worry how our dog is doing when we're away!”
“Erika was amazing with my dog! She kept me updated multiple times throughout the stay. Erika made sure I felt comfortable with my dog and where he would be staying. Definitely recommend her! You won’t regret it!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and taken care of dogs since I was a very young girl. Starting at the age of 9, I used to watch my neighbors dogs when they’d go out of town. Now, I often dog sit and board my coworkers dogs when needed. My deep love for dogs has driven me to always find a way to care and connect with them. I am free for the summertime to give your pets plenty of love and care all day! With enough notice, I can prepare to board your pets in whatever way you need. I have an unfenced yard and two friendly dogs to give your dog plenty of space and friends to play with. There are plenty of toys and beds that my dogs don’t use and I also have 2 open crates if your dog needs as well.
“Madison and Jeff were very easy to communicate with and kept us advised of all of Roscoe’s activities with texts and pictures . Their boys were very good playmates and kept Roscoe very busy. At night the boys setup “camp” in the living room and slept with Roscoe. Awesome Family!”
