Highly-rated overnight sitters - Shorewood Hills
“Mary and her family were absolutely wonderful sitters for Grizzy! They took great care of him during a cold snap, making sure he was warm and comfortable. Mary sent wonderful updates and absolutely adorable pictures, and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Edith was wonderful,she kept me updated everyday with pictures and text messages. We were gone for ten days and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was taking care of and giving the best care to my two dogs. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet is well taken care of. We look forward to working with Edith again and we’ll recommend her to our friends.”
“Stephanie was an amazing sitter. She messaged me daily with pictures too. Walks, playtime and belly rubs were a daily occurrence with Mack. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come back home. 😊”
“Amazing people who love and care for my pup while he is with them - they also send the cutest pictures and updates! They were also super understanding when I got stuck in traffic on the way to pick my dog up.”
“Cleda was very flexible when my dog’s care needs changed due to an injury that occurred a few days before she was to be boarded. Cleda was very accommodating and I was able to relax while away knowing my dog was in good hands. She got lots of one on one attention from Cleda which is exactly what she needed. Cleda also made arrangements to limit my dog’s physical activity, which was ordered by the vet after the injury. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Jenny and her family did an excellent job watching Teddy and giving him the best experience during the holidays. It was even his birthday and they went above and beyond to throw a birthday party for him! We are so appreciative of how well Teddy was treated and all the photo updates were reassuring. Teddy is looking forward to his next stay! Highly recommend! 🤍”
“Very friendly and dependable. Timely communication, and great pictures and updates during the stay. Confident that Louie got lots of attention, exercise, doggy socialization, and love.”
“Our two dogs had a great stay with Michele and her family, and we couldn't be happier with their care! We've had a long-term house and dog sitter who recently relocated away from town, so our dogs had never had the experience of staying away from home without us before. We were a little concerned about how that would go, but right from the start we were reassured by Michelle's friendliness, her evident dog smarts, and her long experience with (sometimes challenging) pups. Before and throughout the boarding process, communication was just right -- clear and relevant, frequent enough to be reassuring but not at all excessive. When we returned home and picked up the dogs, they were in great shape: happy, relaxed, and clearly in no rush to leave Michelle and her family behind :) We'll definitely hope to have them stay again in the future.”
“I was nervous leaving our anxious dog with someone else, but Robert was patient with his interactions with Kipling and allowed Kipling to settle in at his own pace. Kipling had fun running around the fenced in yard with another dog and Robert kept us up to date with progress reports. Looking forward to the next visit where we can feel confident Kipling is being looked after.”
“My 4 legged member of the family had the blessing of spending the weekend with Stephanie. She kept me updated on his stay with videos and pictures. He went for walks and played in their backyard.”
“Ryan and Martha took wonderful care of my dog. They treated her as a member of their family. They took her for walks and sent daily pictures. I will certainly ask them to care for Ella again when needed.”
“Our three dogs had a great night with Allison! She was easy to work with and laid back. Dogs got to chill on the couch, luxury access to special beds and blankets. Thanks for a great stay!”
“Beatrice did a great job watching over Chopa :) She sent messages and pictures to provide updates during the boarding which was great! I would definitely reach out to her again when we need boarding service again”
“Da Yeon is amazing! We’ve booked with her a couple times and long story short, our dog likes her more than us. She’s flexible, kind and includes our dog in her outings so he can get some time outdoors. Highly recommend!”
“Sofi took incredible care of our girl! She was always responsive and sent us frequent updates where I could see how happy Kiwi was. She is very knowledgeable about pet care and I would trust her with Kiwi anytime! Thank you again for giving so much love to Kiwi!!”

“This was the first time I’ve ever used Rover or had a pet sitter and I was a little apprehensive about leaving my pets! That feeling went away quickly, however! Natalie is Fantastic and I highly recommend her as a sitter for your pets! Each visit she passionately completed all the items on the care list I had left for my three cats and she also sent me reassuring comments and pictures.She also did extra things like just sitting and petting my lonely cats,even playing with them for a while to help comfort them a little.To know that I had a responsible,animal loving person caring for my fur babies while I was away made for a more relaxed,carefree and enjoyable vacation! As I have already said, I highly recommend Natalie to come to your home and care for your pets and I will surely call upon her again the next time I go out of town!”
“Hannah watched our cat for a long weekend. I really appreciated the meet and greet we did ahead of time. She was very communicative during our whole trip, sending lots of pictures and updates. We will be using her again for our next trip.”
“Jen was very professional and communicative. She took excellent care of my 3 cats and sent me many pictures to show they were doing ok. I felt very comfortable trusting her with my cats and will utilize her services again in the future!”
“Eleyna was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Oliver! She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy while I was away. She was very communicative and sent thoughtful updates, photos, and notes that showed how much care she put into every visit. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Oliver was in such kind and capable hands. Eleyna is not only dependable and professional but also genuinely lovely to work with!!”
“Sumedha was a great sitter to our cats! She was very organized and detailed in her reports. Sumedha was also excellent in communicating with us throughout the week. Our cats were well taken care of while we were away!”
“We were so fortunate to have Abigail take care of our cats while we were away! She was thoughtful, professional, reliable, communicative throughout our time away, and my favorite, provided photos throughout the day! Total peace of mind. The cats have already asked when she’ll be back.”
“Yvonne’s a great pet sitter. She is super responsive and goes the extra mile with my cat. My cat has asthma and required a daily inhaler dose. Yvonne was kind and patient to provide my cat with her daily inhaler. When my auto feeder failed, she stayed back to help to reset it so my cat didn’t starve. She also provided me with daily update. When I came home, my cat was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her because she truly cares about pets! I would totally rebook her.”
About: Hi! I’m a graduate student who loves animals and understands how important it is to find someone you trust to care for them. I have experience caring for dogs with different temperaments, including dogs with anxiety and dogs who need medication or extra patience. I’m very responsible, detail oriented, and I take pet care seriously - I know I’m caring for a member of your family. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding schedules, crate routines, and any specific instructions you have. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for drop in visits, walks, and house sitting. I’m reliable and will always communicate clearly about timing and availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort comes first. I follow routines, use secure leashes, provide updates, and create a calm, safe, consistent environment for your pet
“This was my second time booking with Alissa and she was just as great the this time around. One of my kitties had an accident, and Alissa helped clean up and kept me updated throughout her drop-in on how my cat was doing. She’s very reliable and definitely my new go-to for watching my cats!”
“Amy was great! I could tell see really cared about the cats. She did an amazing job catering for my more shy cat, making sure she got food even though she was hiding.”
“Brenda took great care of our kitty who can often be shy. He warmed up to her immediately. She brushed him daily and sent us photos daily. She even came over to take care of him on one of the days during a snowstorm. We also needed her assistance for an additional day which she gladly provided. Highly recommend her!”
“Karly is awesome! She was super communicative, reliable, and conscientious while taking care of my cat, which was comforting since this was my first time leaving my recently adopted fur baby. I’l definitely be reaching out to Karly when I need to travel again!”
“It was our first time leaving our kitty for an extended period of time - Anna took excellent care of our girl! She eased my worries with frequent text and photos updates and was very patient getting to know our cat. We also ran into some technical issues (on my end) and Anna was very flexible! We are so grateful for her.”
“Alana took such great care of our two kitties while we were away! Left great notes and paid special care to their needs. Alana was super reliable and communicated everything we needed to know!”
“Ashley watched our two cats while we were out of town. She described their behavior, played with them, tended to their needs, and sent plenty of pictures! We would definitely have Ashley tend to our cats again.”
“Hillary was absolutely amazing and did such a wonderful job with our cats while we were out of town. She spent so much quality play time with them and helped me figure out why one of my cats had some digestive issues. Loved getting daily updates and pictures too! I know the next time we’re out of town, our cats will be in the best possible hands with Hillary!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Shorewood Hills
“5 stars! Can’t sing Julie enough praises! I feel so absolutely at ease while my Cookie is in Julie’s care. Thank you for being a safe and comfortable place for our pup.”
“Wolfy had such a great day with Mary and her family. He can back very happy, and Mary sent several lovely photos of his time. Mary was also flexible with me when my plans changed after booking, which was so appreciated.”
“Edith is your dream sitter. She posts daily photos and updates of your pet. She obviously loves what she does. She is a lovely soul and my Mimi, who can be shy, had her tail up in the photos which made me feel reassured that she was in a safe, loving environment.”
“Christine was awesome. She took a late booking and looked after Ollie for the day. She sent updates, photos and made sure she was a good fit before her stay. Will book again”
“Manu is very flexible and communicative! She always treats our pup with the best care. Our pup is always so excited to hang with Manu! Would highly recommend Manu to anyone looking for a dog sitter who gives lots of love and care!”
“Jenny and Darin were great! They provided updates throughout the day and took great care of our slightly anxious puppy :) Will definitely book with them again!”
“Eric, Rachel and Lilo were amazing hosts for my puppy! They were super flexible with drop-off/pick-up times, they sent lots of pics/updates, and Cleo came home exhausted. I am extra grateful that they were able to take Cleo last minute. I will definitely rebook with them!”
“Last minute, but with wonderful communication and top care. I got lots of photos and updates on my old girl. She has separation anxiety so probably not the easiest. But Taylor and her husband are lovely people and took good care of her for the evening! Many thanks❤️”
“Helen and her mom were so great to my pup Rooster. They took him on two walks and sent several pictures, which put my mind at ease. Definitely recommend!”
“Shuting was a-mazing with my pup Olive! She not only took her in last minute, but she was so kind and easy to talk to. She was like talking to a good friend. I think my pup had a better day than I had! Next time I’m in the area I will definitely reach out to her again.”
“Holly was very receptive to caring for our dog on short notice when we had to be in Madison for a family member’s hospitalization. The home, fenced in yard, companionship of their dog Mocha was wonderful for our little guy. I could tell he was exercised and loved while in her care.”
“My pup loves daycare with Bobby. He is typically anxious when I leave him, but not with Bobby! He gets so excited to jump out of the car and spend the day in Bobby’s beautiful yard & enjoy walks around the neighborhood. He is satisfied and tired when he gets home, and it relieves the pressure for me to fit in longer walks after the workday. Despite managing other day-to-day commitments through Rover, Bobby provides my dog the attention and care he needs to make him comfortable and happy. Bobby’s home has plenty of space to make any dog feel at home and fit various needs. I’m so grateful I found Bobby close by and I recommend his daycare service to anyone trying to find a flexible, communicative, and friendly daycare option for their doggo!”
“5+ stars. Such a great sitter. Our dog Holly had a wonderful time there. Holly did a ton of running and playing with the other dogs. Originally we had Holly to just be watched during the day. I had something come up that night and Emma agreed to keep Holly overnight and I picked Holly up afternoon next day. Emma is an awesome dog watcher and I highly recommend!! Will be back again!! A+ work”

About: I have taken care of neighbors pets since I was 10 and have always lived with Golden Retrievers. Currently, my family has two 75lb English cream retrievers (3 & 6) who I try to walk everyday when I’m home. I love pets of all sizes and energy levels! I work part time this summer researching at UW. My schedule is very flexible and I have a car to travel with. Reach out to me whenever! I can almost certainly make any time work. I can feed your pets, give medicine, let them out/clean litter, walk them and play with them! Anything needed to keep your pets happy and healthy!
About: I have experience working at Paw Pals taking care of cats and dogs. I have also raised and cared for hamsters, horses, birds and bunnys. I'm currently working part-time to only care for animals so I have plenty of time for your animals! Let me know when you need me and I will be there! They will get the time they need. ❤️ Your pet will have the whole downstairs to themselves and lots of play space. I have two friendly cats that are willing to be friends with your pets but they will be upstairs. There are multiple grassy areas to run around in around my condo and trails to walk your pet that will allow them to play in. Treats treats treats❣️
About: I've spent most of my life around animals and have cared for both cats and dogs of all ages for friends and family since high school. I have a soft spot for older pets, so I understand that they often need more attention, which I am happy to provide. Whether it's sticking to a routine, administering medication, or keeping company, I'm comfortable handing your pet's unique needs. I currently don't have my own pet, but I'd love to care for yours! I'm currently a graduate student who is working from home for most of the summer, so I am available weekdays and weekends to care for your pet. I love taking screen-time breaks throughout the day, and taking care of animals is a great way to do so. I treat every home visit with diligence and respect. I follow routines closely and make sure your animal(s) and home are secure before, during, and after my visit. I appreciate detailed instructions and will send updates as frequently as you'd like.
About: I grew up with cats as pets but i’ve always loved being around all animals. I adopted my first dog in college and that really kickstarted my appreciation for dogs! Since then, I’ve moved to a place where I cannot have pets so sitting through Rover has helped fill that gap in my life. I currently work full time Monday through Friday but can be fairly flexible with my schedule, and I work from home a lot so I could fit a drop-in or dog walking booking into my weekdays from time to time. I am willing to care for your pets in any way needed and am open to learning new things and ways of doing things. I will take your dog on any length walk they need, play outside or inside, feeding, grooming, and just plain spending time with them. As of right now I am only open to providing care in your home, as I currently live in a no pets allowed building.
About: Hi all, my name is Alina and I’m new to Rover :). I have been a reliable dog/cat sitter for family, friends, and co-workers for a few years. I am a respectful, friendly, animal-loving soul that is free all summer to care for pets and make them feel safe and happy! I am starting medical school in the fall so I am excited to get some time with furry friends this summer. I love getting animals outside for walks and playtime. I am happy to work with pets of all ages. I am not working any particular job this summer other than pet-sitting. With this, my schedule is very flexible and I’m available just about any day of the week/weekends except a few select dates. I’m happy to work early mornings and late nights too if needed. At my client’s home, I care for pets by following their feeding routine, brushing their fur, and incorporating lots of playtime and exercise. While I haven’t been previously asked, I would also be happy to bathe pets if requested!
“Ashley does a great job with my anxious 70lb pittie and really pushes him to walk far (which is something we normally do). She’s punctual and reliable. I’m so lucky to have found her!!”
“Sophie was fantastic with Alfie! She walked him for 5 days and did an amazing job every time — always reliable, punctual, and clearly great with dogs. Alfie came back happy and tired out after each walk. I’d highly recommend Sophie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring walker. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Hillary did an amazing job walking my shy pup and quickly won her over! In addition to being amazing with my dog, Hillary did and excellent job communicating with me about how my dog did on their walks, tactics she used to help build up my dog's confidence, and Hillary even helped clean up a potted plant that my dog had knocked over one day. I would highly recommend Hillary to anyone looking for care for their pets!”
About: I am a vet student who has experience taking care of other dogs, cats, and even birds while working in a vet clinic! I am able to administer medications, take care of senior pets, and those with disabilities!! Growing up, I also have taken care of both cats and dogs in my family😊. I am currently only working virtually and part-time for a research paper in veterinary medicine, so I am able to comfortably accommodate Rover and pet-sitting in my schedule! I have learned in the past to adhere to owners’ specific instructions and ask questions if they arise to provide the best care for their pet. While taking care of pets in the vet clinic, I respect their boundaries, closely monitor their health/behavior, and try to minimize any stress or fear they could be experiencing. With pets at home, I love to spend as much time giving them love and affection or stimulating their mind with play-time and toys!
“Michelle is great!! My dog is very shy and slow to warm up to people so I was worried about finding someone to walk him while we are at work but Michelle has been awesome!”
“Kaelyn was great! I was in town for a client-related travel/staying at a hotel and she was flexible for my one-off request and day-of tweaks. She's very easygoing, but has an attention to detail for when we had to switch from dog walks to drop-in visits instead. Given it was a hotel space, she was able to provide A+ care for Delphi given the temporary space/resources even I wasn't fully familiar with.”

About: I have always had pets in my home, dogs, cats, goats, chickens, horses, fish, and even guinea pigs are welcome to be booked! I like training puppies, but I have lots of experience with older furry friends as well. I am currently only working occasional soccer games, and am more than happy to drive anywhere in both the Madison and Whitewater communities! Feel free to reach out with what your needs are and I will be able to confirm with you! I do 10-minute to 1hr long walks depending on your needs, as well as I am willing to take your dog to any play areas, or parks!
About: I have a very high level of knowledge and skills of how to take care of cats of any age and ability and enjoy spending time with all kinds of cats. I have much less experience with and knowledge of dogs but I'm very familiar with the basics of feeding and walking. Friends have described me as a cat whisperer and I like to think of myself as such. Not that I might not have challenges, but I know how to meet and vibe and care for them. I have completely open availability for the next month or so as I am unemployed living with friends and trying to establish myself here. I typically like doing care between the late morning and early evening, but anything can be talked about and arranged. I enjoy spending the day alongside animals, being attentive to their needs by taking them out for long walks, providing healthy snacks and cuddles through the day, and offering a calm energy to relax energetic or otherwise anxious pets. I am confident in caring for pets across a range of personalities, and am happy both giving pets lots of attention and energy and coexisting with more introverted pets.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up, I cared for rabbits, hamsters, mice, and a pet rat. Today I share my home with my 13 year old cat, Meeko, and my housemate’s friendly 12 year old dog. I recently said goodbye to my senior cat after 16 wonderful years together. During the last few years of his life, I administered medication multiple times a day and became experienced in caring for an aging pet with extra medical needs. That experience strengthened my patience, attention to detail, and understanding that every pet deserves individualized, compassionate care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own pets. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks before and after work, as well as evenings, weekends, and holidays. I also offer limited weekend boarding for one dog at a time so I can provide each guest with plenty of individual attention and care. My goal is to be flexible while making sure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know pets thrive on routine, so I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to medications, favorite toys, and bedtime routines. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of affection. I understand that having a stranger in the house can be stressful for both pets and owners, so I’ll always treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. For boarding, I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play. I only accept one boarding dog at a time so I can provide a calm, personalized experience and ensure every pet receives plenty of attention. My home also includes my cat and my housemate’s dog, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable around cats and other dogs. This helps create a calm, safe environment for everyone.
