“Frank and Julie are the best! They are very responsive and give great updates with pictures and videos. They have a nice big fenced in area where our pup loves to run around. It’s hard for us to leave our pup, but we know she is in good hands with Frank and Julie. Highly recommend!”
“Chelsea is Simply Awesome!! She loved on our 2 puppies for a long 10 days while our family enjoyed a very needed vacation. She sent pics and videos each day while we were away!! She was there to comfort our pups when they missed us❤️ We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our pups were in Great hands!! We will be looking up Chelsea for all of our future needs!! Thank you, Chelsea❤️”
“Sadie’s was a great pet caregiver to our 4 month old puppy. This was the first time we left him with someone for a few days, and, he loved it! She shared pictures throughout his stay of his playtime and nap time. He was a tired puppy when he came home. He will visit with her again!”
“Gina was wonderful!! She loved Roxy as if she was her own fur baby. Roxy is a senior Yorkie (13-14 years old) who has spent very little time away from us, yet she was obviously happy while at Gina’s as she ate and wasn’t shaking when we left her or picked her up. Gina sent us pictures each day of Roxy playing, on walks and napping with Mack (her chihuahua who is sweet and adorable). Highly recommend!! 10/10 5 STARS”
About: I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, birds, turtles, lizards, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I have experience with temperamental or reactive animals as well. Animals are my passion and both friends and family know they can rely on me to provide exceptional care, love and respect to their fur babies while they are away. No animal is too big or too small! I am currently unemployed and in the job searching process so I have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether you need dog walking services or in-home care I can more than likely make it work for your needs! I have a beagle/boxer mix who gets daily walks and has a big fenced in yard to enjoy at our home. I also have two cats, a classic brown tabby and a petite tuxedo girly. We are unique as we bring all of our animals camping so they get to experience the outdoors with us! My animals are treated like my children and part of the family which is exactly how I would treat yours. I honestly prefer animals over humans.
“Morgan had a wonderful time. She has an autoimmune disorder that causes chronic arthritis. They did a great job of caring for her and understanding her needs. Highly recommend.”
“Beth took in Nala after our original plans fell through and everything went wonderful. She kept us updated throughout our stay and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable. They treated Nala like she was their own. She came home happy! Will book again without hesitation. Highly recommended.”
“Refine and her family were great hosts! Communication was great and I felt comfortable leaving Blaze with them! If Blaze gets better with potty training I would love for them to keep him again! He was wore out coming home this morning for sure!”
“My dogs stayed with Emma for one night while we were in town for a wedding. We were coming from out of town and had to change our arrival time more than once. Emma was very particular with us! 😀”
“Ganelle and her family were great. She was responsive and took great care of my Kena during our holiday break. She sent multiple pictures and updates during her stay. Would highly recommend Ganelle if you were looking for a sitter.”
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 8, it started with a cat and grew to dogs and snakes and more, working with animals is my dream job. I work factory Monday through Friday but Friday night into Sunday I am available for pet care. I have 2 cats and a dog at my own home, but I am more than happy to dog sit at others homes. I make sure my cats litter boxes are kept clean, I keep their food bowls filled, and I keep their water filled. I walk my dog a lot and I take her out every couple hours to use the bathroom.
“Amber was amazing! Her and her family helped take great care of my 3 month old pup for a few days while we were in the process of moving. She was super accommodating and helpful, taking him in just hours after us contacting her very last minute while stressed trying to figure out what to do with him. Taking in his “puppy shenanigans” and all like he was one of her own. Amber made sure to keep me updated about how his was doing helping to ease my mind of having him away from home for the first time. Sending me pictures/videos and messages about how his day was going. She also took the time to make sure that my pup was comfortable and entertained. Taking him on walks and being able to run around and play in the yard. Letting him go at his own pace and doing what made him feel safe when he didn’t like the rain or was was scared by her dog at first (he wasn’t the biggest one around anymore and couldn’t terrorize/annoy every living thing like he normally likes to do). She even went the extra mile to wash his bed after an accident over night and have him and all of his stuff packed up nicely and ready to go for me when I got there. My little boy loved playing with her and her family. And having the other dogs around for him to interact with was a bonus. When I tell you he was so excited when he first met them that I didn’t even get a second look over the shoulder or a goodbye before he took off to play with one of the kids ? (I’m still emotionally processing his betrayal ?). I could not recommend Amber enough! Your pet will be greatly taken care of (Not to mention worn out….he’s been napping since the moment we put him in the car) and all of your worries will fade the moment you get there.”
“Lisa was amazing! Best rover experience I’ve ever had!! She went above and beyond while my new wife and I got married. She brought our dogs to our picture location even though we were almost an hour late. She is incredible and I highly recommend anyone in the area to book Lisa!”
“Michelle took such great care of our pup while we were away for a week. She sent pictures and videos every day to let us know how much fun he was having. Stewie loved the big backyard and the other dogs too. Michelle gave Stewie lots of love and attention, and he looked so happy and relaxed in every photo. Stewie is a picky eater and Michelle worked with him to get him to eat well while he was with her. Stewie was never left alone while he was in Michelle’s care. I would highly recommend Michelle to care for the pets of my friends and family. Stewie was treated like part of their family, and I know he was well taken care of.”
“Kathy accommodated me with a meet n greet the day before boarding. Zoe and Sadie enjoyed their time at Kathy's house playing with the other dogs. Kathy was very helpful and interested in learning about the dogs background and eating habits. In 2 out of the 3 photos Sadie was smiling which tells me she was enjoying her time there. I will book again another time.”
“My two labs, Ghost and Grogu enjoyed their stay with Dan. Dan was very accommodating to ensure they were content and happy. This was my puppy's first experience with a ROVER experience so I was thankful that Dan made it easy on her and she had fun. When I picked up the girls they were both very excited and full of energy...they were well taken care of. Dan works remotely for his day job - so he was able to take the girls out frequently. I would highly recommend Dan if you have a pup that needs a place to stay while you are away...he's great!”
“Mac seemed well cared for when I picked him up from a one week stay with Jori-this is particularly notable since he had never been left with someone he didn’t know well! Jori communicated well throughout the process. Very pleased, and would book with Jori again!”
“This was my first time leaving Charlie with Amy; he stayed for a few days, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the start, I felt such peace knowing that he was in good hands. Amy along with her sweet daughters took amazing care of Charlie —he looked so happy and comfortable in every adorable photo update I received! Communication was great throughout the stay, and it was clear Charlie was treated like family. I am so grateful and will definitely book again! Thank you Amy”

“Sadie did an excellent job with our two cats. She even managed to bring out our shy one. Nobody's done that before. If you hire Sadie, you'll surely be pleased.”
About: Nurturing Animal Expert + Two Mini Assistants Ready to Love Your Pet. We have 3 cats already and we just love meeting new fur babies. My children are typically with me during drop ins but rest assured they understand that cats need space and to not crowd or overwhelm them
“Sarah did a phenomenal job checking on our cats. While we were on vacation our home experienced severe weather (totally unexpected) and lost power. Normally, I would have been an anxious mess. But, Sarah was great and her updates made me feel comfortable......so we enjoyed our family vacation! Thank you Sarah!”
“Marissa was a fantastic sitter for Isla. She can be a shy kitty for strangers, but Marissa sent great photos her everyday, which means Isla warmed up to her quickly. It was a relief for us to know that our kitty was well looked after while we were gone. We will definitely try to book Marissa again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a good cat sitter. Thanks Marissa!”
“Very reliable! Katie took excellent care of our cats, bearded dragon, frogs, hermit crab and fish while we were on vacation. She sent pictures every day and communicated about how they were doing.”
About: I’ve been a cat lover my entire life and currently have two tortie Siamese cats who keep life entertaining every day. Living with cats has taught me that no two are alike. Some are social and curious, others are independent or a little shy. I enjoy taking the time to earn a cat’s trust, respect their boundaries, and care for them in the way that makes them feel most comfortable. What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets who need extra attention. My senior Yorkshire Terrier is blind and diabetic, so I administer insulin injections twice a day and monitor her closely. That experience has made me patient, dependable, and attentive to the little things that can make a big difference. I’m comfortable caring for senior cats, giving oral medications, and following detailed care instructions. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, relaxed, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind through thoughtful care and regular photo updates. 💜
“Emily was outstanding! She completed several early morning drop-ins for our cats over the holiday period with no problem. We had somewhat specific instructions and Emily was able to complete everything with ease. Through the photos and updates Emily provided daily, it was evident our two cats were very comfortable with Emily and enjoyed her company. When the need arises for future drop-ins, we will definitely book with Emily again!!”
About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, and other small animals in the home all my life. I also have years of experience with equine care. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I've had dogs of all ages, so I have experience with both seniors and puppies. Though I have a part-time job, my availability is still quite flexible. Your pet will be housed with mine and treated just as my own. I have a spacious fenced-in yard and plenty of indoor space. My two very friendly dogs will keep your fur baby company. Crates are also available if needed.
“Mercedes did a great job! She let me know when she arrived at our house and left our house. She sent daily pictures and let me know how our Zoe was doing! I’d use Mercedes again!”
“Gabriella was able to help us out last minute and was a lifesaver! She communicated throughout her visits and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Can't wait to book with her again!”

About: Hello! My name is Sadie. I’m a board certified behavior analyst who works with children on the Autism Spectrum. I have a soft spot in my heart for all animals- I was that child that stepped over ants to avoid squishing them. I grew up with a Springer Spaniel, cats, and a rabbit (: I currently have 3 cats, Nimi, Gizmo, Figarro, and a dog named Perci. Additionally, I have experience caring for ferrets, goats, sheep, and fish. I’ll treat your animals as my own, and show them endless love and care. I’m super excited to meet you and your animals! I currently work full time M-F, but do make my own schedule. I see a lot of my clients either before or after work. I also have weekends off! Meet and greets are important to me for boarding to ensure it’s a good fit for your dog. However, I understand if it is not feasible. I have a dog and 3 cats who are free to roam the house and are allowed on furniture. My dog sleeps with me so yours is more than welcome to join the snuggle party! I also have a daughter (3 years old) who loves her animals, so your fur baby will get lots of love from all of us.
“Highly recommend Chelsea! She was very easy to communicate with and was able to take Voss on short notice when we had to be in town unexpectedly. My dog had a fun day playing with her dogs in the fenced back yard and house. She even trimmed his nails for us which was really great. We’ll be back if we need care in Oshkosh again!”
“I would highly recommend Frank And Julie as your next Dog Sitters. After being referred to them, when I reached out, I had let Frank know I was having a hard time locating them in the Rover app. He went out of his way to help me get things going. Once we were able to set up a time for an initial meet and greet, due to a really bad storm that was rolling in, they were flexible with changing the time for us. That’s when we got to see the fantastic location (their house and property), where they take care of the dogs. While we were getting to know them, they were getting to know our dogs, and asked lots of great questions to make sure they understood how we approach our pups. In addition to their fenced in yard, they have acres and acres of land and are very happy to take dogs out for walks to let them burn their energy. A couple days later, our dog spent the day with them and everything went really really well, and our dogs were so very tired out when we got them back. We even got lots of pictures while we were gone for the day which we really appreciated. Frankie and Julie really understand what it is to be a pet owner and strive to treat our dogs as their own. Again, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for day-to-day dog sitting, and we are looking forward to using them for an upcoming vacation.”
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Don for doggy daycare. He sends photo and video updates throughout the day and takes time to ensure my dog is having fun at him home! There is lots of space for him to run and play outside. Don is the best when it comes to communicating and caring for my pup.”
About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets since I was 12 which includes staying overnight at their homes when they are gone for weeks. I do long and short care sitting for pets. I love to spend time with pets and making sure they get the care they deserve. I am currently not working right now but will have a part time job soon. I will talk with the owners and work out a good schedule that will work best for all. Growing up we have used an invisible fence and radio collars to keep our dogs in our yard. We made sure to check in on them periodically while they were outside. While I'm taking care of my friends pets, I would play inside and outside with them, go on walks with them, and make sure they get the best care.
About: Hi there! I have had raised dogs and cats since the age of about 12. I love all animals and am now teaching my 2 young girls to love and nurture all creatures 🥰 we love dogs and cats and are happy to help u with all your pet care needs ☺️ I currently WFH in the evenings and me and 2 little ones love being out and about during the day, we would love to stop in and feed or walk your pets or have your pup come stay for the day to get lots of pets, love , and cuddles I live near menominee park in a lovely quiet neighborhood, I have a lead for outside and we have plenty of space inside. I do have 3 cats, when dogs are in our home they stay upstairs and I make sure they and the dog have the space they need.
“Preslie and her family were amazing and took such good care of our Ruby! They were so warm and welcoming, attentive and communicative. Our puppy came home happy and exhausted from all the fun playing with Kaiya. Highly recommend”
“Emily accommodated us when our plans had to change suddenly and we needed someone to watch our pups for several hours. Her directions were great and she greeted us right away with a smile. The pups were comfortable to walk away from us with her which says a lot. She cleared the hike in advance and kept in touch with us. The boys were happy and mellow when we met to pick them and she was very understanding about their sometimes car sickness. We’d definitely recommend her as she was great with our pups and they can sometimes be a handful.”
About: I grew up with animals and have been dog sitting for 16+ years. I’m experienced with puppies, training, senior care, and dogs of all personalities. I’ve also cared for other animals, including horses and household pets. I treat every animal like family and provide loving, attentive care! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals throughout the day, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply giving them companionship and attention. I’m flexible and happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs and schedule. I have two loving dogs at home who enjoy walks, hikes, retrieving, deer tracking, and swimming. During drop-in visits, I’m happy to feed, play with, walk, and give your pets plenty of attention and love while you’re away.
About: Hi I'm Matt. I'm a big animal lover, and have been in the animal field for 15yrs working with all different types of wildlife. Have experience in giving vaccines(IM or SQ), oral meds, and basic care. I have since moved onto a new adventure in lawncare. I have been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with a German Shepherd, a purebred Samoyed, and a tabby cat. Currently, I have 2 beagle-shepherd mixes, Hunter and Holmes, who are 2 of the sweetest boys you will meet. We are often outdoors taking our daily walk, hiking local state parks, camping, or just working in the yard. I have always loved being around animals, especially dogs, and find that having them brings such happiness to life. The boys and I are together daily. I currently work typically Mondays thru Fridays sometimes varied or longer hours. However, we always make time to go for a walk daily, and on the weekends typically are out exploring. Hunter gets meds twice a day in a pill supplement as well as I trim their nails and baths occasionally. I currently rent a duplex that has a fenced backyard, and also have a spare bedroom and wire kennel if needed. Typically my dogs free roam during the day, and are good to be alone overnight or up to 10hrs which can allow me to spend time with your furry friend.
About: I provide reliable, attentive care for dogs at every stage of life—from active adult dogs to seniors (up to 15+ years old). Every dog is different, so I tailor each visit to match their energy level, personality, and needs. For active dogs, I offer engaging, high-energy walks designed to burn off energy, reduce stress, and keep them mentally stimulated. I’m comfortable handling strong or high-energy dogs and making sure they get the exercise they need. For senior dogs, I take a calm and patient approach—focusing on comfort, slower-paced walks, and close attention to mobility and well-being. I understand how important it is to move at their pace while still keeping them happy and engaged. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and trust. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know your dog is in good hands. As a stay-at-home mom with a 3-year-old, I’m home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, consistent walks, and plenty of attention for your dog. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods—I’m available for regular outdoor time, play, and check-ins throughout the day. Whether your dog needs multiple walks, structured routines, or just extra companionship, I’m able to accommodate their needs. My daily routine is active and consistent, making it a great fit for dogs who benefit from frequent movement, supervision, and a reliable environment. Your dog will be cared for in a safe, loving home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and consistent care. We’re a very affectionate household—your dog can expect lots of pets, cuddles, and companionship from both me and my toddler (always supervised). I also have an older, friendly dog who enjoys meeting new friends and playing, but I can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone is comfortable. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine closely and can crate if requested. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority.
About: Hi! My name is Ryaan, and I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. Animals have always been a huge part of my family, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I also worked for several years at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic care, supervising playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Your pet will be treated like family in my care! 🐾 I currently have just a few 1 hour classes a week on just Mondays and Wednesdays and am home for the most part otherwise making me available for your pets. -fenced in yard -home frequently -able to provide long walks and lots of playtime -safe home (mostly pet proofed) -stairs are needed to be taken to get up to the house and down to the backyard
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs and cats, I currently share my home with two cats and a senior pup. I’ve also raised chickens, quail, canaries, and cockatiels, and I’m always eager to learn about new animals. Whether it’s walks, feedings, or gentle care, I’m committed to providing love and attention. Although, Cat and kitten cuddles are my kryptonite! I am a part time working mom to a 7 year old and my availability is flexible. Walks in the summer time or evening will likely include my son. I am here to help! I am able to ensure that your pet is safe, cuddled and cared for. I can walk often when I’m close proximity to my home, am able to take certain pets in at my house and can help to crate your animals while at work or away if they are used to being crate trained. I am comfortable administering cat meds and some dog medications, of course dependent on your animal and also on how we vibe with each other energy.
“Great experience, Ally did a great job watching Bart. She was very accommodating with us. After meeting both her an Coy we felt very comfortable leaving Bart in her care. We would definitely let her watch him again.”
About: Although new to Rover as a sitter, we've used Rover frequently for our boys. I've had pets (cats, dogs, fish) ever since I was 14. I don't have special certs but have done puppy classes and have successfully trained our dogs since! One being a Shiba Inu if you know how stubborn they are 😉. I currently have two bernese mountain dogs and love furry friends from small to extra large! I've done drop ins and in home in the past. Im currently mostly a SAHM! I am a RN but only work 16hrs a month. I will have ample time to be at home with all pets. I have a fenced yard (6ft chain linked) and two neutered boys to keep your pets company. I can also always go for walks, fill a small kiddie pool for the dogs to play in, and whatever else your pup enjoys! I can crate as well if need be and tons of pictures can and will always be sent.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and truly enjoy building trust with each animal I work with. I have experience with in-home dog sitting for families while they are on vacation, as well as daytime dog walking and regular drop-in visits. I’ve even cared for and traveled with pets of A-list celebrities! Over the years, I’ve primarily cared for medium and large dogs of all personalities, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and calm in every situation, making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. My goal is always to provide consistent care, plenty of attention, and peace of mind for pet parents. I’m currently working part-time, so will have plenty of time to care for your pet. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I intentionally build my schedule around the time and attention pets need. I prioritize consistent visits, walks, and check-ins so each pet gets reliable care and lots of attention. At home I have a black lab! I care for pets as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, consistency, and lots of attention. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible with feeding schedules, walks, and playtime so they experience minimal disruption.

“Adina has been a wonderful addition to our dogs schedule. Daily walks have been beneficial for our high energy dog. She is attentive to our dogs needs and great with communication. We thank her immensely for the service she provides.”
“Sarah was wonderful! She was incredibly patient with both my pup and me. He can be a bit anxious and isn’t used to being away from his family, but Sarah took the time to help him feel comfortable and secure enough to enjoy his walk. Her communication was excellent, and I felt confident that she would treat him with kindness and compassion!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for them has always been a big part of my daily routine. I currently have three dogs and five cats, so I’m very comfortable handling multiple pets with different personalities and needs. Through my own pets, I have experience with feeding schedules, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic care, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable. I’m used to high-energy pets as well as shy or more independent ones. Because I care for several animals at home, I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. I will treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and care that I give my own Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently care for three dogs and five cats at home, so feeding, walks, playtime, and general care are things I do every day. Because of that, adding pet visits or walks into my schedule feels very natural for me. I’m used to managing different feeding schedules, making sure pets get exercise and attention, and keeping their environment clean and comfortable. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I always try to keep their routine as close as possible to what they are used to. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any other specific needs their pet may have. During visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed properly, get exercise or playtime, and receive plenty of attention so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I also keep their space clean, such as scooping litter boxes or cleaning up after dogs during walks. Since I care for several pets at home myself, I understand how important it is to be patient and attentive with animals of different personalities. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, cared for, and relaxed until their owner returns.
About: I grew up with animals and have been dog sitting for 16+ years. I’m experienced with puppies, training, senior care, and dogs of all personalities. I’ve also cared for other animals, including horses and household pets. I treat every animal like family and provide loving, attentive care! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly trust me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m comfortable with puppies who need patience and training reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who require a gentler approach and extra attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work full time. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 2:30pm. During stays, pets are rarely left alone for long periods, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and consistency in their routine. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medication times, and specific care instructions to keep your pet comfortable. I have an unfenced yard and one friendly, well-socialized dog who can provide companionship if your pet enjoys being around others. I always prioritize slow introductions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. If needed, I can easily crate your dog and provide separate spaces for rest and downtime. In your home, I respect your space and follow all care instructions carefully. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels at home.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets for 20 years. Old pets included. I have no issues with giving medication needed for pets or bathing them if needed. I am a stay at home mom of 1! So I have plenty of free time to hangout and take care of cute fur babies! I have a fenced in yard that allows for safe roaming around. Plenty of green grass to roll around and enjoy. Great neighborhood to take dog or cats on walks.
About: “God speaks to the creatures through the creatures.” -Dr. Chase. “All you need is love.” -John Lennon. Plenty of love I have to give, but I also have the experience of 35 years as a science teacher. I’m well-versed in how animals like dogs and cats talk to us through their gestures. Dogs evolved with humans, and I understand that relationship and how dogs meet our emotional needs. Please read my first four reviews which I received from pet owners that I served even before signing up with Rover. The pet owner decides when treats are allowed, if table scraps are allowed, and how much food to give. The dog decides when it wants to go potty. 😉 Just in case, I usually take the dog out before it decides and always before any discomfort. Snuggles welcome. 🐾🥰😻 When serving you and your pet, I like to send pictures. We can also use FaceTime or Zoom to check in. 🐶🤩 At age 61, I’ve been a retired teacher for 3 years, and my activity level allows me to run or play with your beloved dog. In your home, I follow instructions and do the routine for your beloved just like you would. However, if I’m allowed to give more snuggles, or more walks, or more training than you normally have time for, I’m at your service.
About: Let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, or behaviors that I can account for or help with. I would love to help. If you have plants that need watering, mail, or packages that need to be brought in, I can help with that too! I'm retired and love traveling around Wisconsin and the world. Slow traveling is my favorite. I can explore new neighborhoods, cities, and local attractions without being rushed. I will follow your directions for your house and loved ones.

“Gigi is terrific! She's warm and friendly, professional, has experience with a variety of dogs, and seems to really love animals. Everything has gone very smoothly and we could not recommend her more!”
About: I have the most experience caring for Dogs and Cats but have also cared for Fish, Rabbits, a Tortoise, and a Bearded Dragon. I am open to caring for other types of animals. I currently provide childcare 2-3 days per week and will have to schedule around that. I can be somewhat flexible, so if you need help on a day I have marked unavailable, ask. We might be able to work something g out. As a currently pet-less animal lover, I am excited for the opportunity to spend time with and care for your animal(s) according to your instructions.
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 8, it started with a cat and grew to dogs and snakes and more, working with animals is my dream job. I work factory Monday through Friday but Friday night into Sunday I am available for pet care. I have 2 cats and a dog at my own home, but I am more than happy to dog sit at others homes. I make sure my cats litter boxes are kept clean, I keep their food bowls filled, and I keep their water filled. I walk my dog a lot and I take her out every couple hours to use the bathroom.

“Frank and Julie are the best! They are very responsive and give great updates with pictures and videos. They have a nice big fenced in area where our pup loves to run around. It’s hard for us to leave our pup, but we know she is in good hands with Frank and Julie. Highly recommend!”
“Chelsea is Simply Awesome!! She loved on our 2 puppies for a long 10 days while our family enjoyed a very needed vacation. She sent pics and videos each day while we were away!! She was there to comfort our pups when they missed us❤️ We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our pups were in Great hands!! We will be looking up Chelsea for all of our future needs!! Thank you, Chelsea❤️”
“Gina was wonderful!! She loved Roxy as if she was her own fur baby. Roxy is a senior Yorkie (13-14 years old) who has spent very little time away from us, yet she was obviously happy while at Gina’s as she ate and wasn’t shaking when we left her or picked her up. Gina sent us pictures each day of Roxy playing, on walks and napping with Mack (her chihuahua who is sweet and adorable). Highly recommend!! 10/10 5 STARS”
About: I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, birds, turtles, lizards, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I have experience with temperamental or reactive animals as well. Animals are my passion and both friends and family know they can rely on me to provide exceptional care, love and respect to their fur babies while they are away. No animal is too big or too small! I am currently unemployed and in the job searching process so I have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether you need dog walking services or in-home care I can more than likely make it work for your needs! I have a beagle/boxer mix who gets daily walks and has a big fenced in yard to enjoy at our home. I also have two cats, a classic brown tabby and a petite tuxedo girly. We are unique as we bring all of our animals camping so they get to experience the outdoors with us! My animals are treated like my children and part of the family which is exactly how I would treat yours. I honestly prefer animals over humans.
“Beth took in Nala after our original plans fell through and everything went wonderful. She kept us updated throughout our stay and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable. They treated Nala like she was their own. She came home happy! Will book again without hesitation. Highly recommended.”
“Ganelle and her family were great. She was responsive and took great care of my Kena during our holiday break. She sent multiple pictures and updates during her stay. Would highly recommend Ganelle if you were looking for a sitter.”

“Amber was amazing! Her and her family helped take great care of my 3 month old pup for a few days while we were in the process of moving. She was super accommodating and helpful, taking him in just hours after us contacting her very last minute while stressed trying to figure out what to do with him. Taking in his “puppy shenanigans” and all like he was one of her own. Amber made sure to keep me updated about how his was doing helping to ease my mind of having him away from home for the first time. Sending me pictures/videos and messages about how his day was going. She also took the time to make sure that my pup was comfortable and entertained. Taking him on walks and being able to run around and play in the yard. Letting him go at his own pace and doing what made him feel safe when he didn’t like the rain or was was scared by her dog at first (he wasn’t the biggest one around anymore and couldn’t terrorize/annoy every living thing like he normally likes to do). She even went the extra mile to wash his bed after an accident over night and have him and all of his stuff packed up nicely and ready to go for me when I got there. My little boy loved playing with her and her family. And having the other dogs around for him to interact with was a bonus. When I tell you he was so excited when he first met them that I didn’t even get a second look over the shoulder or a goodbye before he took off to play with one of the kids ? (I’m still emotionally processing his betrayal ?). I could not recommend Amber enough! Your pet will be greatly taken care of (Not to mention worn out….he’s been napping since the moment we put him in the car) and all of your worries will fade the moment you get there.”
“Lisa was amazing! Best rover experience I’ve ever had!! She went above and beyond while my new wife and I got married. She brought our dogs to our picture location even though we were almost an hour late. She is incredible and I highly recommend anyone in the area to book Lisa!”
“Michelle took such great care of our pup while we were away for a week. She sent pictures and videos every day to let us know how much fun he was having. Stewie loved the big backyard and the other dogs too. Michelle gave Stewie lots of love and attention, and he looked so happy and relaxed in every photo. Stewie is a picky eater and Michelle worked with him to get him to eat well while he was with her. Stewie was never left alone while he was in Michelle’s care. I would highly recommend Michelle to care for the pets of my friends and family. Stewie was treated like part of their family, and I know he was well taken care of.”
“Kathy accommodated me with a meet n greet the day before boarding. Zoe and Sadie enjoyed their time at Kathy's house playing with the other dogs. Kathy was very helpful and interested in learning about the dogs background and eating habits. In 2 out of the 3 photos Sadie was smiling which tells me she was enjoying her time there. I will book again another time.”
“My two labs, Ghost and Grogu enjoyed their stay with Dan. Dan was very accommodating to ensure they were content and happy. This was my puppy's first experience with a ROVER experience so I was thankful that Dan made it easy on her and she had fun. When I picked up the girls they were both very excited and full of energy...they were well taken care of. Dan works remotely for his day job - so he was able to take the girls out frequently. I would highly recommend Dan if you have a pup that needs a place to stay while you are away...he's great!”
“Mac seemed well cared for when I picked him up from a one week stay with Jori-this is particularly notable since he had never been left with someone he didn’t know well! Jori communicated well throughout the process. Very pleased, and would book with Jori again!”
“This was my first time leaving Charlie with Amy; he stayed for a few days, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the start, I felt such peace knowing that he was in good hands. Amy along with her sweet daughters took amazing care of Charlie —he looked so happy and comfortable in every adorable photo update I received! Communication was great throughout the stay, and it was clear Charlie was treated like family. I am so grateful and will definitely book again! Thank you Amy”
“Thank you, Nikki, for taking such great care of our pup! We really appreciate the pictures and updates. Also, thanks for being so responsive when we messaged you. We felt confident the entire time that Lambeau was in good hands. We will see you again 😄”
“Jasmine was fantastic! She is very professional, always responded quickly to any questions, and took great care of our puppy. She helped with some training (as the puppy was only 12 weeks old) and her own dog, Stryda, was a great playmate and teacher for our puppy.”
About: I grew up with animals and have been dog sitting for 16+ years. I’m experienced with puppies, training, senior care, and dogs of all personalities. I’ve also cared for other animals, including horses and household pets. I treat every animal like family and provide loving, attentive care! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals throughout the day, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply giving them companionship and attention. I’m flexible and happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs and schedule. I have two loving dogs at home who enjoy walks, hikes, retrieving, deer tracking, and swimming. During drop-in visits, I’m happy to feed, play with, walk, and give your pets plenty of attention and love while you’re away.
“Anna loved her stay with Becky!! We got awesome updates throughout the weekend. This was absolutely wonderful & we cant wait to have our baby stay with her again! 5+ stars!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and caring for them brings me happiness, comfort, purpose, and genuine joy every single day. I work during the week, but I spend my breaks and free time caring for animals. I’m also available on weekends, which gives me even more time to bond with and care for them. My two dogs couldn’t be more lovable. My chocolate lab is always ready for outdoor adventures and endless snuggles, while my golden retriever is the sweetest social butterfly who loves other dogs and never turns down extra pets.
