“Erica is the BEST! She is so attentive, Wally got very comfortable around her very quickly. She is very caring and cautious, asking very detailed questions about my dog's habits and preferences and making sure he is comfortable and happy in her place. I also got many many photos of how my dog was doing, which was so lovely … Highly recommended!”

“Roxy always enjoys going to see Emily and her fur baby. She is always so great with her and she even gave her a rinse off! I always feel confident leaving my pup with her. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!!”

“Anu and her family did a wonderful job of taking care of our Trooper. He had a fantastic time and took quite the nap after getting home from all the playing! They made sure they knew Trooper’s routine and we received pictures and videos multiple times a day to keep us updated on how he was doing. I highly recommend Anu and her family to care for your pet!”

“Mary was amazing!! My dog does not normally like new people but he loved Mary and she took great care of him. I even had to book last minute because of a funeral. I was able to be fully present with my family at our time of loss because my dog was so well cared for. Thanks Mary!!”

“Melissa and her family was amazing! We were so nervous bringing our very geriatric dog (16yr, 5mo) to anyone, but she really made us feel at ease. She has experience with other geriatric dogs and her own yorkie. We received an update and pictures of a very happy dog while we were on vacation. He was ready to go when I said I'd pick him up but didn't want to leave. He was even tired when he got home from the fun at her house. Highly recommend!”
“Kristal and Scott were really great sitters. My Sophia was well taken care of and loved by them. She sent me updates on her and pictures almost on a daily basis. I would recommend them and use them in the future.”

“Anne is wonderful! She went above and beyond to give me ease of mind! My pup was well taken care of with playtime, walks, great sleeping arrangements (in Anne’s bed 😊), and access to a great fenced in yard. Anne gave me frequent picture/text updates. I am not sure my dog was happy to see me because she was so spoiled by Anne. 😊 Worth every penny. 💕”

About: I've taken care of animals of all different species and sizes throughout my life, I've always found a deeper connection with animals, and the more I care for them, the more I see that. For Dogs, I can get along with most, although I am admittedly spooked by bigger or more aggressive dogs (Cane Corso's for reference). And as for cat's, I'm always willing to take carr of another feline friend, my closest animal companions in life have been cats! I can respect a cats boundaries very well. Notes: For dogs with Clicker training, I do own a clicker. I cannot allow other cats in my home, as one of my cats is not friendly with others. I'm typically up very early to feed my cat and spend whatever free time I have giving him attention and love while I relax. I am currently unemployed, so I can tend to pets around the clock! My yard is not fenced, I can keep a dog close if need be. I am more than willing to take pets on walks to the park, or outdoors in general. I can adapt to most any animals schedule pretty easily. My house is pretty large, so most animals will have plenty of space to roam and get comfy, and I can make accommodations for any special pet gear needed. List of tasks or care instructions would be highly appreciated, and would help me stick to a given schedule.

“Amazing! Such a friendly and flexible host with nice dogs and a great yard! Our pup felt right at home. Would recommend to others and will definitely book again if in the area!”

“Makenzie did a great job with our dog for an overnight stay. She is caring , reliable, and great with dogs! She treated our dog like he was her own. Our dog got along great with her dog and they played together nicely. I cannot recommend Makenzie enough. I had no worries the whole time we were away. It was so great knowing our boy was in good hands! Thank you so much and we will definitely be contacting Makenzie next time we need care for our dog!”

About: With over 17 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a lifetime of hands‑on knowledge and a genuine love for pets of all ages. I’ve raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years and have helped neighbors for many years with reliable cat‑sitting and general pet‑care support. My background includes basic training skills, experience with a wide range of temperaments, and the ability to provide gentle care for seniors, energetic play for younger dogs, and everything in between. Our home offers a family‑style, country‑living environment where pets can relax and enjoy plenty of space. Dogs have access to both indoor and outdoor dog‑run areas, regular walks, and supervised playtime. Light grooming—such as brushing and simple upkeep—is also available to help your pet feel clean and comfortable throughout their stay. I treat every pet like part of the family and strive to make their time here safe, enriching, and full of the comfort they deserve. I work from home, which allows me to flexibility to help keep a consistent and attentive routine for the pets in my care. Dogs can enjoy potty breaks, playtime, and walks throughout the day, including: • Early‑morning walks • Midday/noon walks • Later‑day or early‑evening walks Your dog will also have 24‑hour access to a safe indoor/outdoor dog run, giving them freedom to stretch, sniff, and relax whenever they’d like. For downtime or pups who prefer structure, I provide a clean, comfortable crate area upon request. My flexible schedule and home setup ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and a calm, country‑style environment throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Our home offers a secure, family‑friendly environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. We provide a fully fenced indoor/outdoor dog run, giving dogs a safe space to explore, stretch, and enjoy fresh country air throughout the day. For structure, naps, or dogs who prefer their own space, I offer a clean and comfortable crate option upon request. Dogs enjoy regular walking options, including strolls around our spacious lawn and yard area, perfect for sniffing, exploring, and getting gentle exercise. Our home is a true family setting, with children who are experienced and respectful around pets, a friendly and playful three‑year‑old Labrador retriever, and a gentle house cat who is calm around visiting animals. This creates a warm, social atmosphere for pets who enjoy companionship and calm routines for those who prefer quieter spaces. I strive to provide a safe, trustworthy, and welcoming environment where every pet feels cared for like one of our own.
“10/10 Highly recommend! Jamie did an amazing job with our pups. We haven't left them before for any period of time, so were a bit nervous about how they would do. Jamie was exactly the person they needed. She welcomed them into her home and made their stay absolutely perfect.”

“Becca was Awesome! We needed to book last minute and she was able to accommodate. We recieved lots of pictures and updates. My wife and I were very thrilled with the updates. Bo is extremely tired and I can tell they played alot. Would recommend Becca to anyone. We look forward to future bookings.”

About: An LPN by trade, I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Since I was a little girl, dogs and cats have held a special place in my heart, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Anyone who knows me personally knows how deeply I love animals and how important they are to me. My own dogs are truly part of my family—they’re my babies—and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and family members regularly rely on me to watch and board their beloved pets when they travel. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for daily walks, playing, providing companionship, or simply making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When your pet is in my care, I will treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a loving, dependable, and stress-free experience for both you and your furry family member, so you can have peace of mind knowing they are receiving plenty of attention, affection, and care. As a nurse who is currently taking a break from my career, I have the time and flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. My mornings start with potty breaks, breakfast, and plenty of love and attention for the pets in my care. After a relaxing coffee break, we head out for a daily walk, with the distance tailored to each pet’s age, energy level, and abilities—anywhere from a leisurely stroll to a 1–3 mile adventure. The rest of the day includes playtime, cuddles, companionship, and ensuring your pet feels comfortable and secure. I understand how much pet parents miss their furry family members, so I’m happy to send photos and videos to keep you updated and give you peace of mind. Afternoons are typically a time for rest and relaxation, followed by supper and another walk in the evening if needed. Because I am home throughout the day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, exercise, and affection. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable, safe, and loving as possible—just like they are part of my own family. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. While we do not have a fenced yard, I am committed to responsible pet care and will always use a leash when outdoors—without exception. I understand that pets are cherished family members, and I take every precaution to keep them safe. My home is shared with two friendly, low-key dogs who enjoy daily walks, relaxing in the sunshine, and plenty of couch cuddles. They are accustomed to being around other pets and help create a calm, welcoming environment. Whether your pet enjoys activity and adventure or prefers quiet companionship and affection, I will do my best to make them feel comfortable, loved, and right at home.
“Teressa was able to watch our senior dog on short notice, she sent plenty of updates which helped relieve any worries while we were out of town. I so appreciate her making Milo feel at home away from home for the weekend!”


About: I have worked with numerous animals since I was 5 years old. I have owned chickens, rabbits, horses, dogs, and cats my entire life. I am a 4-H leader where I teach children how to train dogs and I help them show and prepare their animals at fair. I also show my own animals at the fair. Additionally, I have pet sat for numerous family members over the years as well as friends. I will always be there for your pet and I will make sure they are well taken care of and loved just like they are my own. I am a teacher who is currently on summer break. So my schedule is pretty open during the summer and I have a lot of availability. During the school year, most of my weekends are free as well as when we have breaks. I am flexible and willing to make things work for you! I live on a little hobby farm with my husband. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats who are very friendly. I have everything needed in my home to take care of a dog including a kennel if needed as well as tie outs. We have a lake that is 5 minutes from our house and if your dog loves to swim, I would be happy to take them. I take my dogs all over in the summer and I would make sure your pet gets a lot of attention and exercise as well. Additionally, we have a huge barn and fenced in pasture as well as rabbit hutches in the barn and a chicken coop! Whatever animal you have they can be comfortable at my property. Additionally, if you feel better about your animal staying at home, I am happy to accommodate to that as well.
“Colleen was a wonderful furmama replacement. We have traveled across the country using Rover along the way and we couldn’t be happier finding her. Any Packers who need a caretaker should look no further. Well even if you aren’t a Packer. ?”

“We greatly appreciated the time and attention Carrie took in caring for our 5 month old puppy! She stopped in twice a day and feed, walked, and played with our pup while we were away at work! Would recommend Carrie to anyone! She was punctual, professional, and did exactly what we asked her to do!”


“Chyna took care of our cat for a week while we were on vacation. Will keep booking with her due to great communication, following directions, and accommodating an elderly cat’s medication routine.”

“Trusting someone to come into your home and care for your animals is never easy… unless you get the chance to book Melissa. She sent photos and messages and went above and beyond. 10/10 totally recommend.”


“We’re so grateful for the great care our cats received! She made sure they always had fresh food and water and kept an eye on everything while we were away. Our cats are pretty shy and tend to hide, but it gave us peace of mind knowing they were being checked on. We really appreciated her help and would happily recommend her!”

“Haley arrived on time, followed the instructions we left and helped with a modem problem that she was able to fix. She asked to meet us and the cats prior to pet sitting which I think is a great idea since we have never used her or this service before. She accepted a package I forgot was coming and followed my instructions upon its arrival. She sent pictures and updates daily which I appreciate. She even took Angel on a short walk in her pet stroller before the rain. I would absolutely hire her again.”


“Karlee was a wonderful sitter for our cat Bobbie. She cared for our kitty as if she was her own, and kept in touch throughout the week, even alerting us to the landscapers in our back yard. We have already booked Karlee for the next time we are away!”


“Bethany was great ant accommodating all my needs and requests. My normally shy cat made a great connection and enjoying everytime she came over. Would 100% recommend Bethany to anyone with pet sitting needs.”

“Anne was wonderful with my cat, Lia. My cat seemed to enjoy the visits and extra attention. Anne was also great with communication and sending photos of what Lia was up to. Will definitely reach out to Anne in the future when needed!”


About: I am an animal lover through and through, cats includes!😄 How I care for cats comes from personal experience. I provide gentle, attentive, and compassionate care for whatever your kitties need. Cats are so fun with their unique personalities and temperaments. I look forward to getting to know your feline friend(s). If you want to know more, here are some of my personal experiences: 1) I grew up with our family cat, Nala. Raising Nala, I learned how to read feline behavior and needs from a young age. 2) Cat sitting for my neighbors’ two timid cats has been invaluable as well. Knowing how to respect space and create a calm environment is key. 3) I also enjoy playing with my brother-in-law’s cat, Kumiko. Knowing how to keep a feline stimulated mentally and physically through their senses is important for any kitties well-being and overall happiness.

“Our normally well-behaved dogs decided to ransack their room while we were gone for an afternoon. Upon her arrival at our house, not only did Amanda straighten up their mess but she also fed them, spent plenty of time with them outside, sent me pics of her visit, and even left them treats for Christmas. Would highly recommend Amanda to anyone seeking a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter who goes the extra mile for her clients.”
“My dog Betty is big, enthusiastic and full of energy. She is a lot of dog. Betty loved Mckenna from the moment she met her and I knew she would be well cared for. Mckenna took Betty out, walked her, fed her and hugged her. I’ve had Betty for four years and this in the first time I have tried something like this. It worked way better than I thought it would and I hope to work with Mckenna again in the future. She is an excellent caregiver.”
About: Hi, you can call me Lolo. I am a big lover of dogs and had a small dog growing up. I have been walking dogs since the summer of 2021. I have experience with walking medium sized and smaller dogs, but I am open to any size and type of breeds. I even have experience watching cats and had birds growing up as a child. I am currently a stay at home mom which gives me more flexibility and choosing to do what I love the most, which is spending time with and taking of dogs! I am very responsible, attentive, and outgoing which are all some qualities I think are very important when it comes to taking care of dogs. I am looking forward to meeting you and your sweet dog(s)! I am a stay at home mom and have a lot of downtime to spend some time with your dogs. Pet care is a job for me and my schedule is very flexible! I have crate training experience. My neighborhood is very safe and I live in a house with a lot of trees and woods so the dogs can run around. There are not too many dogs around, so you won’t have to worry about other dogs!

“Mao was so great with our cat! She followed our feeding instructions perfectly, kept our litter box clean, and was the perfect companion to our little guy while we were away. She always sent us a summary of her visit and photos of our Eggy after each visit. Amazing work!”

About: I have grown up with several felines and canines my entire life. I have been responsible for their care for several years, including several animals in their older years. I possess a quite relaxed personality, which is beneficially picked up by most animals. I am also capable of providing necessary exercise for animals of an increased energetic disposition. Dog walks can be taken at a leisurely pace, or one more accelerated, depending on dog's needs. I am looking to supplement my current income, as well as enjoy the company of more cats and dogs. My current job offers flexible hours, so I am available most hours during the afternoon to night for necessary care needs (walks, feeding, letting out,vet appointments). I look forward to satisfying your pets needs.

“Erica was a god-send when we couldn’t take our dog with us to an event out of town. Her profile told me she’d be great and I was so grateful she was available. It was only for 5 hours but she managed to get our sometimes finicky and whiny dog to settle and eat her food when given! I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“Shelby was wonderful and communicated with us the entire stay and kept us updated on how they were doing. We are traveling and went to a Packers game and toured Greenbay. Pistol Annie and Stetson had great care and would highly recommend Shelby to keep your fur babies.”
“I feel so comfortable leaving my pup with Melissa. My pup has such a good time and always comes home tired from playing all day! Would recommend, have used her more than once, and will definitely use her in the future.”

“Mackenzie was an absolute joy to work with! She was highly communicative and we could tell she was very much a dog lover! Muggs had such a great time at her house with her. She asked all the right questions and we felt very comfortable with Mackenzie. Muggs will be back to visit! 😃👍🏼 Thanks Mackenzie!”

About: Please read the entire profile. I did grow up with a Dalmatian dog. My dad was a firefighter, and came home with Pepper Christmas morning. My sister had a mini goldendoodle. I would stop daily after work around 3:45pm to play and take walks. I took a separation package from my employer 5/1/25 and now would like to offer walks, daycare, drop in visits and boarding . With boarding, For larger dogs, they WILL be crated at night. Your dog will be crated when I play pickleball in the mornings. I do have a crate(s). Please note if sending a request there may be a delay in responding due to pickleball between 9:30 - 12:30 approximate times. I currently have two dog walking appointments from 11:45am -1:45pm Monday-Thursday. Having retired 5/1/25, I have the time to provide loving care, playtime and walks with your pet. I will provide pictures and updates to you. No fence but can play fetch in the front/backyard or take your dog to dog park if they are ok with it. Please provide details or special needs. I look forward to providing belly rubs, snuggles and loving care.

“Isaiah is a very knowledgeable and nurturing dog sitter. He handled my rambunctious pup with expert care, and his dog Finley graciously scaled down his play to match my wee one. Would highly recommend for walking, watching, or boarding.”

“I truly appreciate Colleen for taking care of my fur baby all day! She is super nice and took very good care of my fur baby! I definitely recommend her. If and when I am back in Greenbay I will for sure do another booking with her.”

About: I have been lucky to have owned pets nearly my entire life. Mostly dogs, but a cat and fish as well. My family fur baby passed in 2022 after nearly 14 years being our companion. I watch friends and family pets, and help them spur of the moment requests to drop in and let pets out. I recently retired, so I can be flexible with your needs for pet sitting. I can do drop in visits, or overnight at your place or mine. There are no other pets or children at my home. I will follow your instructions on feeding and handling your pet. I can give your pet all of my attention.
About: A Home Away from Home for Your Beloved Pet Animals have always been at the center of my life. I’m the kind of person you’ll see pulled over on the side of the road, coaxing a frightened or injured animal to safety. Caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's who I am. When one of my dogs developed severe arthritis and could no longer enjoy walks, I repurposed a wagon and some old downhill skis into a sled so she could still take in the fresh air and sights of winter. That’s the kind of care and creativity I bring to every animal in my life. Your pet will be treated like family here. Whether they’re most comfortable relaxing in a private room or hanging out with the rest of us in the house, we make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. If your pet prefers some solo R&R, we absolutely respect that too. For peace of mind, I use a pet camera so I can keep an eye on things throughout the day—and I’m happy to share photos and updates with you during their stay. With hands-on experience in animal shelters, rescues, and private training facilities, I’m confident working with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My background has also given me extensive knowledge of animal health, medications, and disease management. If your pet requires medication or has special health needs, you can trust that they’re in capable hands. Additional Experience & Amenities: Certified in Animal CPR and Basic Life Support (BLS) Experienced with grooming basics including ear cleaning and nail trimming Fully fenced-in yard for safe playtime Mini pet pool and lots of toys for enrichment in warmer months Important Notes: All pets must be up-to-date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention (during summer) We require a meet-and-greet before your pet's stay to ensure a good fit for everyone Please let us know if your pet has any behavioral issues (around food, toys, or beds) or requires a specific medication or feeding routine We’re so excited to meet you and your furry friend—and to provide them with the love, care, and comfort they deserve! Thank you! I work full-time but come home for lunch. So your pet wouldn't wait more than 4 hours to be let out. We spend alot of time outside, like to go for walks or just relax in the backyard. I have a large fenced in backyard providing lots of room to run and play. I have a entire room dedicated to the pets that stay over if they need some quiet alone time. They are welcome to be in the house with the rest if my family but have the option to have their space as well.
About: Our family loves animals. We have a comfortable home with a large yard. We have three caring boys that love pets. We are not quite ready to bring a dog into our home full-time because of traveling, but we love to have the company of a pet from time to time. Recently, our youngest has been showing allergy symptoms, so we are only able to watch hypo-allergenic dogs. The dog is treated like our own and spoiled during their stay with us. I work from home with my skincare business, so most of the day, I am home with the pets. We welcome potty trained dogs to our home that do well with children. We can adjust our care style to what makes you most comfortable. I also love to do drop in visits and fill the Rover cards with lots of info and pictures to keep your mind at ease. For these visits, the dogs can be any breed. I work from home and set my schedule, so being a Rover sitter is a nice little extra for me. It is easy to work with and around schedules. We have a large, unfenced backyard. We take dogs on nice walks around our neighborhood. We only board one dog at a time, so it feels like a family setting.
About: I’ve worked with variety of species, specializing with dogs! I have skills with grooming and training. I have 4 of my own dogs and do dog sports as well! I work from home so I have extra time to care for your pets and am able to move around my schedule. Saturdays are the only days I may not be able to take same day bookings! I understand crate and gate management and will make sure your animals are happy and healthy! As of right now I can’t offer boarding in my own home but maybe in the future

“Chyna is so wonderful! She's so good with the dogs and is a great communicator! I could rely on her 100% and the dogs adored her! You can't go wrong. I highly recommend Chyna!”

“Melissa does so well with sunny. She comes in on time, and made it so much easier for us as my wife had surgery and I was working from home. Highly highly recommend. I never worry where sunny is or what hes up to and he loves seeing her.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about our dog walker! She took such loving care of my two dogs, Roley and Maddie, and treated them as if they were her own. Roley is an older pug and Maddie is a big Anatolian Shepherd, and she was amazing with both of their very different needs and personalities. I truly appreciated her reliability, kindness, and the updates she shared with me, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was obvious that Roley and Maddie were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Finding someone I can trust with my dogs means so much to me, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and compassionate pet sitter or dog walker.”

About: Hello! I've been taking care of pets every since my professors at my university trusted me to dog-sit in their homes. I've always had a love of animals. As a child I spent most of my free time volunteering at my local animal shelter by walking dogs to give them a break and fresh air or training them to help them be more likely to be adopted. As an adult I've worked as a zookeeper (my all-time favorite animal to care for are probably lemurs) and as a high school biology teacher. I've normally utilized word of mouth to grow my pet-sitting business, but since I've recently moved to a smaller town, I decided to test out Rover. I can't wait to meet your pet :) I work from home now so I have an ample amount of time to snuggle, play, and walk your pet! I am currently working from home, which means I can spend ample amounts of time with your pet. Just let me know what you would like to have done and I'm happy to accommodate. Generally I enjoy house-sitting/pet-sitting because it allows your pet to stay in a place that feels comfortable to them. I have my own dog and cat, so if I end up taking care of your pet at my house, we will do a meet and greet ahead of time with the pets to make sure everyone gets along ok.
About: - has had 3 dogs throughout my life, 2 miniature schnauzers and 1 German Shepherd - has dog watched all different breeds throughout high school - had a dog with diabetes and was blind, knows how to give injections, pills if needed -passionate about loving and caring for dogs! I am able to take care of dogs Monday through Saturday, times may differ, but usually free throughout the day, afternoon and evenings generally preferred! I am unable to have pets in my home but I am able to walk them, as well as help them before leaving your home with anything they need to be comfortable until you arrive back!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with unique needs, including reactivity and behavioral challenges. I rescued my Australian Cattle Dog when she was three years old and have spent years training her and learning how to safely and compassionately manage reactivity around other animals and, at times, children. Through this experience, I’ve developed strong skills in reading animal body language, using positive reinforcement, and creating calm, structured environments. I truly love all animals and understand that every pet is different. I've taken care of friends and families pets in the past and I always have the absolute best time! I’m patient, attentive, and committed to providing the best possible care while you’re away, making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I’m currently in my last semester college, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility in my schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my days, and I can give animals the attention they deserve. Spending time with furry friends is honestly the best way to spend time between and after class! I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and respect the rules and preferences set by their owner. I take the time to understand feeding schedules, play habits, and any specific instructions so that everyone feels comfortable and at ease. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for pets.

About: I am training my own dog as a psychiatric service animal and have learned much going through this process. I am not a licensed trainer, but I do have experience in that area, which I enthusiastically bring to each walk. I'm flexible with scheduling and do my best to make things as simple and convenient as possible even if that means scheduling outside of my availability schedule when possible. Additionally, if I have any upcoming dates that I am unavailable this will be communicated well in advance. Availability schedule: Monday= 8am-10am Tuesday= 8am-6pm Wednesday= 8am-6pm Thursdays= 8am-11am (craft fair season), 8am-6pm (rest of year) F= 8am-10am Sat= 2pm-6pm (craft fair season), 8am-6pm (rest of year) My general motto is always leave the space looking better upon leaving then when you first arrived. This applies to animals too. Always leave a pet happier, more content, calmer, etc. after being with them. Have multiple pets? No problem. The more the merrier.
“I found Veronica last minute as I needed help with my pooch as I recover from knee surgery. She won't be my last minute person anymore! She was professional and went out of her way to get my dog out for much needed exercise and a romp on the city bike/run path! Excellent!”

“We are fortunate to have Annie on an on-going basis to visit our dog Molly for potty breaks and walks while we are at work. Annie always responds promptly to any communication, questions or booking inquiries. When she visits Molly she leaves a detailed log about the visit. It's obvious that Annie loves pets and she goes above and beyond to give Molly love, affection, attention, exercise and an outdoor break each visit. When Annie is scheduled to visit, we know Molly will receive great care and a needed break and that gives us tremendous peace of mind. We love Annie!”
About: I owned a dog for over a decade, and babysat dogs/ cats many times. I worked with animals at a zoo so I’m good at reading them and respecting their boundaries! I work second shift (3-11pm) M-F so check ins would work best for those days. I can still dog/cat sit during the weekdays if you’re are okay with your pets being alone for a full shift, or being watched by my parents (while pets are boarded at our house). My weekends are completely open! I have a large backyard and tennis court. I also live near a very nice bike trail for long walks. I have no other animals in the house. I have ramps for small/old dogs.
About: I have taken care of multiple friends pets for days , if not weeks straight. I've worked at multiple shelters helping out with dog walking and cleaning , and I've also volunteered at functions to raise funds for shelters. The joke is with my faculty I am the resident dog guru. I am a teacher so i'm able to do very early walks starting at 5:30am. I have to be at work by 7:30 am. I am done with school by 4:30, except January- March when I have to be back to director musical practice. If you need someone to how sit your pet. I guarantee that I will try my best to be at the house and not running errands, except to go to work. I'm a big believer in if I'm taking care of an animal in their own home that I need to be at that house as long as I possibly can because that pet deserves the companionship and the freedom to be let out to play. I love taking long walks.I enjoy nature and so taking longer walks with animals does not bother me.

About: Several years of experience with out pay. I have been around pups and dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. I am extremely great with animals. I promise to take care of your family member just as I would my own. Mine are most likely better taken care of then most people's children! I am very efficient, caring and wear my heart on my sleeve. I also have fostered animals in need. You will be nothing less than happy with my services. I am used to working with large animals to small animals. I want to be able to make the animals feel like they are at home when they see me walking through the door. I hope this all helps you when considering me.

“Erica is the BEST! She is so attentive, Wally got very comfortable around her very quickly. She is very caring and cautious, asking very detailed questions about my dog's habits and preferences and making sure he is comfortable and happy in her place. I also got many many photos of how my dog was doing, which was so lovely … Highly recommended!”

“Roxy always enjoys going to see Emily and her fur baby. She is always so great with her and she even gave her a rinse off! I always feel confident leaving my pup with her. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!!”

“Anu and her family did a wonderful job of taking care of our Trooper. He had a fantastic time and took quite the nap after getting home from all the playing! They made sure they knew Trooper’s routine and we received pictures and videos multiple times a day to keep us updated on how he was doing. I highly recommend Anu and her family to care for your pet!”

“Melissa and her family was amazing! We were so nervous bringing our very geriatric dog (16yr, 5mo) to anyone, but she really made us feel at ease. She has experience with other geriatric dogs and her own yorkie. We received an update and pictures of a very happy dog while we were on vacation. He was ready to go when I said I'd pick him up but didn't want to leave. He was even tired when he got home from the fun at her house. Highly recommend!”
“Anne is wonderful! She went above and beyond to give me ease of mind! My pup was well taken care of with playtime, walks, great sleeping arrangements (in Anne’s bed 😊), and access to a great fenced in yard. Anne gave me frequent picture/text updates. I am not sure my dog was happy to see me because she was so spoiled by Anne. 😊 Worth every penny. 💕”

About: I've taken care of animals of all different species and sizes throughout my life, I've always found a deeper connection with animals, and the more I care for them, the more I see that. For Dogs, I can get along with most, although I am admittedly spooked by bigger or more aggressive dogs (Cane Corso's for reference). And as for cat's, I'm always willing to take carr of another feline friend, my closest animal companions in life have been cats! I can respect a cats boundaries very well. Notes: For dogs with Clicker training, I do own a clicker. I cannot allow other cats in my home, as one of my cats is not friendly with others. I'm typically up very early to feed my cat and spend whatever free time I have giving him attention and love while I relax. I am currently unemployed, so I can tend to pets around the clock! My yard is not fenced, I can keep a dog close if need be. I am more than willing to take pets on walks to the park, or outdoors in general. I can adapt to most any animals schedule pretty easily. My house is pretty large, so most animals will have plenty of space to roam and get comfy, and I can make accommodations for any special pet gear needed. List of tasks or care instructions would be highly appreciated, and would help me stick to a given schedule.
“Makenzie did a great job with our dog for an overnight stay. She is caring , reliable, and great with dogs! She treated our dog like he was her own. Our dog got along great with her dog and they played together nicely. I cannot recommend Makenzie enough. I had no worries the whole time we were away. It was so great knowing our boy was in good hands! Thank you so much and we will definitely be contacting Makenzie next time we need care for our dog!”

About: With over 17 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a lifetime of hands‑on knowledge and a genuine love for pets of all ages. I’ve raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years and have helped neighbors for many years with reliable cat‑sitting and general pet‑care support. My background includes basic training skills, experience with a wide range of temperaments, and the ability to provide gentle care for seniors, energetic play for younger dogs, and everything in between. Our home offers a family‑style, country‑living environment where pets can relax and enjoy plenty of space. Dogs have access to both indoor and outdoor dog‑run areas, regular walks, and supervised playtime. Light grooming—such as brushing and simple upkeep—is also available to help your pet feel clean and comfortable throughout their stay. I treat every pet like part of the family and strive to make their time here safe, enriching, and full of the comfort they deserve. I work from home, which allows me to flexibility to help keep a consistent and attentive routine for the pets in my care. Dogs can enjoy potty breaks, playtime, and walks throughout the day, including: • Early‑morning walks • Midday/noon walks • Later‑day or early‑evening walks Your dog will also have 24‑hour access to a safe indoor/outdoor dog run, giving them freedom to stretch, sniff, and relax whenever they’d like. For downtime or pups who prefer structure, I provide a clean, comfortable crate area upon request. My flexible schedule and home setup ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and a calm, country‑style environment throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Our home offers a secure, family‑friendly environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. We provide a fully fenced indoor/outdoor dog run, giving dogs a safe space to explore, stretch, and enjoy fresh country air throughout the day. For structure, naps, or dogs who prefer their own space, I offer a clean and comfortable crate option upon request. Dogs enjoy regular walking options, including strolls around our spacious lawn and yard area, perfect for sniffing, exploring, and getting gentle exercise. Our home is a true family setting, with children who are experienced and respectful around pets, a friendly and playful three‑year‑old Labrador retriever, and a gentle house cat who is calm around visiting animals. This creates a warm, social atmosphere for pets who enjoy companionship and calm routines for those who prefer quieter spaces. I strive to provide a safe, trustworthy, and welcoming environment where every pet feels cared for like one of our own.
“10/10 Highly recommend! Jamie did an amazing job with our pups. We haven't left them before for any period of time, so were a bit nervous about how they would do. Jamie was exactly the person they needed. She welcomed them into her home and made their stay absolutely perfect.”

“Becca was Awesome! We needed to book last minute and she was able to accommodate. We recieved lots of pictures and updates. My wife and I were very thrilled with the updates. Bo is extremely tired and I can tell they played alot. Would recommend Becca to anyone. We look forward to future bookings.”

About: An LPN by trade, I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Since I was a little girl, dogs and cats have held a special place in my heart, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Anyone who knows me personally knows how deeply I love animals and how important they are to me. My own dogs are truly part of my family—they’re my babies—and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and family members regularly rely on me to watch and board their beloved pets when they travel. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for daily walks, playing, providing companionship, or simply making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When your pet is in my care, I will treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a loving, dependable, and stress-free experience for both you and your furry family member, so you can have peace of mind knowing they are receiving plenty of attention, affection, and care. As a nurse who is currently taking a break from my career, I have the time and flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. My mornings start with potty breaks, breakfast, and plenty of love and attention for the pets in my care. After a relaxing coffee break, we head out for a daily walk, with the distance tailored to each pet’s age, energy level, and abilities—anywhere from a leisurely stroll to a 1–3 mile adventure. The rest of the day includes playtime, cuddles, companionship, and ensuring your pet feels comfortable and secure. I understand how much pet parents miss their furry family members, so I’m happy to send photos and videos to keep you updated and give you peace of mind. Afternoons are typically a time for rest and relaxation, followed by supper and another walk in the evening if needed. Because I am home throughout the day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, exercise, and affection. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable, safe, and loving as possible—just like they are part of my own family. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. While we do not have a fenced yard, I am committed to responsible pet care and will always use a leash when outdoors—without exception. I understand that pets are cherished family members, and I take every precaution to keep them safe. My home is shared with two friendly, low-key dogs who enjoy daily walks, relaxing in the sunshine, and plenty of couch cuddles. They are accustomed to being around other pets and help create a calm, welcoming environment. Whether your pet enjoys activity and adventure or prefers quiet companionship and affection, I will do my best to make them feel comfortable, loved, and right at home.
“Teressa was able to watch our senior dog on short notice, she sent plenty of updates which helped relieve any worries while we were out of town. I so appreciate her making Milo feel at home away from home for the weekend!”


About: I have worked with numerous animals since I was 5 years old. I have owned chickens, rabbits, horses, dogs, and cats my entire life. I am a 4-H leader where I teach children how to train dogs and I help them show and prepare their animals at fair. I also show my own animals at the fair. Additionally, I have pet sat for numerous family members over the years as well as friends. I will always be there for your pet and I will make sure they are well taken care of and loved just like they are my own. I am a teacher who is currently on summer break. So my schedule is pretty open during the summer and I have a lot of availability. During the school year, most of my weekends are free as well as when we have breaks. I am flexible and willing to make things work for you! I live on a little hobby farm with my husband. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats who are very friendly. I have everything needed in my home to take care of a dog including a kennel if needed as well as tie outs. We have a lake that is 5 minutes from our house and if your dog loves to swim, I would be happy to take them. I take my dogs all over in the summer and I would make sure your pet gets a lot of attention and exercise as well. Additionally, we have a huge barn and fenced in pasture as well as rabbit hutches in the barn and a chicken coop! Whatever animal you have they can be comfortable at my property. Additionally, if you feel better about your animal staying at home, I am happy to accommodate to that as well.
“We were so happy to find Aryn on Rover to care for our dogs for a weekend away! She was especially patient with one of our dogs that experiences separation anxiety. We really appreciated her communication and care for our dogs!”

“Laura boarded Wiley for a weekend. Wiley was well taken care of and enjoyed her Yard. Wiley often has anxiety when we are gone but adapted to Laura and family nicely. He was a happy boy when we picked him up. Laura sent photos and communicated how Wiley was adapting. All went perfectly. I highly recommend Laura to watch your dog.”

“Sara and her family provided a wonderful home for our two dogs while we were on a trip! They have a large fenced-in backyard where they could run around and play with Luna. They came home happy and pooped from all their fun. We are so grateful, and will definitely use them in the future!”
