“Laura and her family provided the best home away from home for Charlie. They made sure he was stimulated, brought him with them during their family activities, and encouraged play between their cute dog snd ours. Laura communicated regularly with us and updated us on how Charlie was doing. As a puppy, Charlie was probably a pest, but Laura and family was so good to him. We’d love to have future dog stays with Laura”
“We left our two pups with Ty while we went on a 5 day vacation. We were able to meet and greet before hand and it was really nice to see how great Ty is with dogs. His yard is made for dogs to play! Ty kept in touch throughout the dogs stay with texts and pictures and we came home to happy dogs! Thank you Ty!”
“Karlie took great care of my pup during his stay. He got along well with her dog as well. They got a lot of both play and nap time together! He also came home with a cute bandana! (Thanks again for that). She is responsive, kind and truly loves to care for animals.”
“Kirsten and Kaleb have our Holly amazing care while we were gone for almost two weeks. They sent pictures every day and were so flexible with what we needed, even offering to keep Holly am extra day when we weren't sure we would get back on time. Holly doesn't always get along with other dogs but she loved their dog, Beau!”
“Jenny was phenomenal. She’s very flexible on times of pick up and drop off. She sent multiple pictures of Wiley having fun running around and playing. He was more energetic on pick up and even seemed as if he wished to stay longer. Both of her dogs were playful and accepted Wiley into their home with out any issues. Both Wiley and I are extremely pleased with this experience, and can’t wait until the next time Jenny can watch him again when I need to be out of town.”

About: Hello! I’m Laura, and I’m so excited to welcome your four-legged family member into my heart and home. Having grown up with dogs and raised three of my own beloved pups through to their golden years, I know firsthand that dogs aren't just pets—they are cherished family members. Now that my home is a bit quieter, I have a wealth of love, patience, and attention to share with your dog while you are away. Why Choose Me? Lifetime of Experience: I have over 40 years of experience living with and caring for dogs. Senior Dog Care: Having loved three dogs through their entire lives, I am highly comfortable with senior care, gentle pacing, and keeping strict medication and feeding schedules. A Safe, Loving Environment: Your dog will get my full attention, plenty of belly rubs, and a calm, reliable routine that mirrors the comfort they have at home. Whether your pup is an energetic walker or a professional couch cuddler, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend and give you peace of mind knowing they are in safe, loving hands! My daily and weekly schedule is very consistent, which makes it easy to provide a reliable, stress-free routine for your dog. During the week, my schedule allows me to easily plan my day around a dog's needs. I am always home for dedicated morning, late afternoon, and evening care. Because my routine is highly structured, I can guarantee regular potty breaks, timely feedings, and medication administration on a strict schedule. My late afternoons, evenings, and weekends are wide open and entirely dedicated to pet care. Whether that means going for relaxed neighborhood walks, playing in the yard, or just offering quiet companionship on the couch, your dog will be a central part of my day. I treat guest dogs like family, fitting them seamlessly into a warm, attentive, and loving daily routine. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether a dog is staying with me or I am visiting them in their own home. Having raised three dogs of my own, I know how important a secure and predictable environment is for a pet's peace of mind. In My Home: I maintain a calm, dog-friendly, and completely smoke-free environment.

Dogs in my care are supervised closely, and I follow a strict double-check policy on all doors and gates when entering or exiting. In Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it secure, clean, and exactly as you left it. During visits or house sits, I stick closely to your security routines (locking doors, arming alarms) and ensure your dog is safely secured inside before I leave. My Care Philosophy: Tailored to the Dog: I strictly adhere to your specific rules regarding furniture, feeding schedules, and crate training to keep their routine seamless. On-Leash Safety: I always keep dogs securely on-leash during walks and remain highly alert to our surroundings and other animals. Constant Communication: I love sending daily photo updates so you can see firsthand how happy, relaxed, and safe your pup is!

About: I have extensive experience, caring for cats of all personalities. I understand cat body language and always respect their boundaries. i’m comfortable with shy, anxious, or independent cats and give them the space they need to feel safe. I focus on routines that matter to cats, including feeding, litter, box, care, playtime, and quiet time. I don’t force interactions. Cats are allowed to warm up naturally, and feel comfortable at their own pace. Period with years of personal experience, owning and caring for cats, I know how to provide patient, loving care that keeps them happy and stress-free.
About: I grew up with many outdoor cats on my family’s farm. Also, I’ve taken care of many cats belonging to friends and family in the past.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have taken care of them since I was young! I love them way more than people. I am counting down till I can have my own little pack of dogs. I’m used to dogs that pull on leashes, but it’s a plus when they’re an easy walker :) I currently am in college so whenever I don’t have classes I am completely free! Once a month for one weekend I work on a military base, but other than that I would love to spend my time with a pup! I am willing to do whatever to keep your dog’s routine normal. I am used to crate training, routine dog walks, etc. No judgement from me :)

From shy, energetic, to reactive. I have done everything from daily walks, to overnight stays for clients. Handling the different routines. Another plus is that I grew up fostering dogs, so I have experience with a lot of different breeds creating a very patient and observant demeanor. I am currently working part-time and looking for some extra work. My availability is pretty flexible as long as you are as well! I can either do stop by's for walks once a day, or a multiple day care schedule, with 2-4 hours of being out of the house. I'd love to chat and work something out! When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, and any house rules. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of bathroom breaks, and safe, supervised time outside. I spend quality time with each pet, whether that means playing, training practice, gentle cuddles, or just giving them company so they don’t feel alone.

I’m a college student with weekends free, so I can dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m flexible and happy to follow your pet’s routine to make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away. I follow all care instructions closely, supervise pets at all times, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home.

Communication is important to me, so I provide updates to ensure peace of mind.

“Ambrosius had a lot of fun with her walks and doggy play! She came home and slept amazing. She was very happy and even got so comfortable she took a nap (rare for her at others houses). Thank you so much for making my puppy happy and feel loved.”
“Angela was excellent with my dog, Vaida! Vaida struggles adjusting to new surroundings, but Angela was a pro with her. Angela provided consistent communication & I was able to stay updated throughout the week. It was great to know Vaida was in good hands.”

“Our Sweet Bella struggles with separation anxiety. We needed to find daycare for her while we were visiting family in La Crescent. Ty did an amazing job at working with her. He was flexible, patient, and did what he could to make her feel comfortable. He kept us informed with how she was doing and was prompt at responding to any messages.”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous but my overall experience was positive with AJ. We have a 1 year old mixed breed dog that is very playful and happy around pretty much everyone. We met in a park near AJ’s home and he was promptly on time and communicated well. I asked several questions about the plan for the day and everything seemed reasonable to me. For me personally I just wanted someone that would keep my dog active and happy for the afternoon, also sneak in the occasional nap is okay too. When the day was over we met in the park again and (on time) and my dog was happy to see me. Thumbs up!”

About: I have always had pets in my home my whole life both dogs and cats I am more of a dog person but I absolutely love caring for all animals and I know how difficult it can be depending on the animal my parents most recent dog was a handful he was in and out of several homes before finding his way to ours because of he’s very energetic and sometimes violent behavior but we turned him to a sweetie with time and good training. At first he was rather aggressive towards me and was very difficult to train because of how long he had gone without training which taught me a lot of tricks to deal with a difficult and aggressive dog. I love this job and I hope your pet will enjoy my company as much as I’ll enjoy theirs. I have bathed dogs helped bathe a cat with flees and I’m down to learn anything if you’ll help show me. I do this full time so I am usually always free to offer the most reliable and consistent pet care experience for your pet and I’m always available unless I’m watching other pets. I’d love to do repeat visits to build a better relationship with you and your pet. I do the absolute best of my ability to ensure that your dog feels safe and happy when with me and I hope after meeting me you’re pet is excited to see me again.

About: I have always loved animals and taking care of them. I have had my two dogs for 13 years and sadly, one of them passed away recently. I had other pets before that as well. I frequently watch, feed, play with, walk, and let out other people’s dogs and care for their cats.

I do get an hour for lunch, so I can swing over to the house for your pet if they can’t be alone all day. Unfortunately, my landlord only allows pets that are okayed by them, so I cannot have your pet at my house. But I can come to you and care for your pet(s). With pet sitting in your home, I can spend the night there or do nighttime care and morning care. I can also come multiple times a day and potentially stay all day on the weekend.
About: I’ve had pets since I was a child. Dogs, cats, rats, fish :) Within the last 10 yrs my 16 yr old dog passed away, I had a special needs kitty and now have a small 7yr old dog along with fostering a large number of dogs of all sizes and breeds through a local group.

About: I've taken care of a variety of dogs since I was very young. I grew up with labs and I am very comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I took care of my yellow lab/retriever mix, Blue, for so many years; taking her on long walks, giving her baths, making sure she got along with our neighbor dogs. I also helped out taking care of my neighbor dogs from time to time. After my dog died at the age of 15, my family didn't think we would get another dog. 7 years ago, we got a new puppy, his name is Brooks, and he is a yellow lab. He is very different than our old dog. He has lots of energy, he has ran away a couple times but always came back or we found him, and we lived on 2 acres of land so that helped. He is our first inside dog, so he loves cuddles, treats, sleeping, playing catch and sneaking downstairs where he is not supposed to be. I have lots of experience with dogs and I appreciate and love them very much! I am currently working at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse, so I have the summer off. During the school year, I have Fridays off and I am done by 3pm the other days. On Mondays and Wednesdays I have slower mornings. I can help out throughout the day and on weekends. I live in an apartment building but there is an area with lots of grass and next to the building and around the area. My building doesn’t allow pets so I am not able to house pets at my place, but I can always talk to my landlord.

I work as a nurse, so I am more than willing to administer medications and injections. Being that I have an elderly dog myself, I am no stranger to senior care or special needs. I currently work as a nurse full-time, but I am available after 5 pm to help with taking your dog out or checking in on your kitty. I am available most weekends as well. I cannot offer pet boarding, but I am willing to check in on your furry family members! I am always willing to lend a hand when life gets busy. Although my background is in human care, I can administer CPR, medications, and injections. Just let me know!
About: My husband, Chris, and I love meeting and caring for dogs! We picked up Rover as a side job so we could spend some extra time caring for and playing with a variety of pooches. We are a great option if you want your fur family member to be loved on, taken on adventures, played with, and in constant companionship while you’re gone. We’ll make sure to send you updates and pictures if you’d like, and guarantee to treat your pet as our own. Between my husband and I, we always have someone at home caring for your doggo! This works especially great for those pets that are used to always being with someone. We try to keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible to keep them comfortable and happy in a new environment. Let us know what your furry friend likes to do, and we will accommodate!
About: Hi all! I’m one of those, I love animals more than people types. (No offense to any of you) ☺️ I ugly cry when I see an animal get hurt on TV or in the movies. My mom told me that when I was younger, I used to feed all the ants on our patio bread and my most infamous rescues were saving a one-winged fly and rescuing a bee from drowning in a puddle. *proud moments for me* 😁 I have always had pets growing up, both dogs and cats and several other critters. I currently own 3 dogs that are rescues. I have fostered dogs plus taken care of my friend’s pets and I have experience with pets of all ages including senior and blind dogs as well. The reason I joined Rover is because I have a passion for not only helping animals but people as well. Thank you for taking your time to read this and please reach out if I can help! ❤️ 🐾 As of right now, I am free every day and I am willing to try work with your schedule. Please reach out if you have any specific questions. 🐾 At this time I am not currently caring for any pets in my home due to my three dogs but I also feel that it’s best for a pet to stay in their own home if at all possible. They are way more comfortable and happy in their own space plus it’s easier for them to stick to their normal routine at home. I prefer to go by their normal routine if at all possible. I will discuss specifics for each individual animal as we know they are all different and have their own unique personalities. Together we will find out what works best for both you and them. 🐾

About: Hi! My name is Kiana! I live in La Crosse and work at Gundersen! I’m familiar with all types of dogs, and I can care for cats too!

About: I’ve spent the past two years dog-sitting for several families, caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I handle walking, feeding, playtime, and grooming, making sure each dog feels happy, safe, and loved. I also helped organize a dog adoption event at my hometown dog park to promote responsible pet care and help puppies find forever homes. I’m a college student with weekends free, so I can dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m flexible and happy to follow your pet’s routine to make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away. I follow all care instructions closely, supervise pets at all times, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home. I provide regular feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection to keep pets relaxed and stress-free. I treat every pet like family and work to create a calm, loving environment while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates to ensure peace of mind.

“We left our two pups with Ty while we went on a 5 day vacation. We were able to meet and greet before hand and it was really nice to see how great Ty is with dogs. His yard is made for dogs to play! Ty kept in touch throughout the dogs stay with texts and pictures and we came home to happy dogs! Thank you Ty!”
“Karlie took great care of my pup during his stay. He got along well with her dog as well. They got a lot of both play and nap time together! He also came home with a cute bandana! (Thanks again for that). She is responsive, kind and truly loves to care for animals.”
“Kirsten and Kaleb have our Holly amazing care while we were gone for almost two weeks. They sent pictures every day and were so flexible with what we needed, even offering to keep Holly am extra day when we weren't sure we would get back on time. Holly doesn't always get along with other dogs but she loved their dog, Beau!”
About: I’ve pet sit for many friends and many different animals. I am reliable to feed, walk, and potty your animals. I’m comfortable around all animals. I’ve grown up having pets and adore all pets. I am available most days for intermittent care for pets during the week. My work schedule is consistent, 9:30-630 Monday-Friday during the summer and 12-6:30 during the school year. I am a student at UWL so I have classes but normally am able to create a schedule with you around them fairly easy. I have grown up with a very active family because we have always had very active dog breeds, I love taking them for walks/runs and would love to do the same for your pet. I have no problems staying in and playing with toys as well if that’s what your pet prefers. I also have grown up with cats and am willing to care for them as well.
“What a great experience! Lauren communicates well and shred lots of pictures. Buddy got along with her dogs. Best of all Buddy felt comfortable enough to eat. Highly recommend Lauren.”
About: Hello! I’m Laura, and I’m so excited to welcome your four-legged family member into my heart and home. Having grown up with dogs and raised three of my own beloved pups through to their golden years, I know firsthand that dogs aren't just pets—they are cherished family members. Now that my home is a bit quieter, I have a wealth of love, patience, and attention to share with your dog while you are away. Why Choose Me? Lifetime of Experience: I have over 40 years of experience living with and caring for dogs. Senior Dog Care: Having loved three dogs through their entire lives, I am highly comfortable with senior care, gentle pacing, and keeping strict medication and feeding schedules. A Safe, Loving Environment: Your dog will get my full attention, plenty of belly rubs, and a calm, reliable routine that mirrors the comfort they have at home. Whether your pup is an energetic walker or a professional couch cuddler, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend and give you peace of mind knowing they are in safe, loving hands! My daily and weekly schedule is very consistent, which makes it easy to provide a reliable, stress-free routine for your dog. During the week, my schedule allows me to easily plan my day around a dog's needs. I am always home for dedicated morning, late afternoon, and evening care. Because my routine is highly structured, I can guarantee regular potty breaks, timely feedings, and medication administration on a strict schedule. My late afternoons, evenings, and weekends are wide open and entirely dedicated to pet care. Whether that means going for relaxed neighborhood walks, playing in the yard, or just offering quiet companionship on the couch, your dog will be a central part of my day. I treat guest dogs like family, fitting them seamlessly into a warm, attentive, and loving daily routine. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether a dog is staying with me or I am visiting them in their own home. Having raised three dogs of my own, I know how important a secure and predictable environment is for a pet's peace of mind. In My Home: I maintain a calm, dog-friendly, and completely smoke-free environment. Before any stay, I do a thorough safety sweep to ensure all hazards, cords, or human foods are securely out of reach. Dogs in my care are supervised closely, and I follow a strict double-check policy on all doors and gates when entering or exiting. In Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it secure, clean, and exactly as you left it. During visits or house sits, I stick closely to your security routines (locking doors, arming alarms) and ensure your dog is safely secured inside before I leave. My Care Philosophy: Tailored to the Dog: I strictly adhere to your specific rules regarding furniture, feeding schedules, and crate training to keep their routine seamless. On-Leash Safety: I always keep dogs securely on-leash during walks and remain highly alert to our surroundings and other animals. Constant Communication: I love sending daily photo updates so you can see firsthand how happy, relaxed, and safe your pup is!
“Janelle and Chris were excellent. They were very flexible and accommodating from start to finish. From the time you arrive you can feel their passion toward your pet as if it were there own. It was comforting as we knew Duke would be in good hands and hopefully he behaved well for them! Great young and energetic couple with compassion for your pet.”
“Monica was so great with our dog Finn while we were away for a weekend. She was super responsive and sent us pictures to keep us updated on how he was doing. Would highly recommend her!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have always had at least one dog in my home. My 2-year-old boy, Bentley, loves playing in our fenced-in yard and relaxing in the pool on sunny days! I work full-time, so I am doing this because I truly enjoy helping others, loving on your family member, and creating a fun, safe space for play, comfort, and care. I am available nights and weekends. I am doing this for fun, outside of my full-time job. Happy to be flexible and accommodate as much as I can. Bentley and I frequent our fenced in back yard, go to the park, regular walks and play with his many toys throughout our home. I also have several dog beds. My dogs are able to go on all furniture as well.
