“Christine was super with Joey, who is a 9 month old 63 pound puppy. I was concerned about her getting along with other dogs. Christine's knowledge and experience came through and she was able to introduce Joey to new dogs successfully, and all were happy and played together. I received lots of pictures and updates which helped me to relax and have a great vacation. Would I have Christine take care of Joey again, absolutely no question about it, she did a great job.”
“We felt Teddy was very well taken care of. He got lots of love, plenty of tennis ball throws, and sweet cuddles from Heather and her daughter. It felt great knowing Teddy was in such good hands while we were away.”
“Sure! Here's a thoughtful review you can leave for Ryan and Martha: --- Ryan and Martha were absolutely wonderful with Yogi! From the start, their communication was excellent — clear, prompt, and always thoughtful. They made dropoff and pickup incredibly easy and were very flexible with the timing, which we really appreciated. Throughout Yogi’s stay, they sent us regular updates and the sweetest photos that clearly showed how happy and comfortable he was. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. You can tell they genuinely care about animals and treat them like part of the family. We would absolutely trust them with Yogi again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, responsible, and communicative pet sitters.”
“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! 🤍”
“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.”
“Mary did an amazing job caring for my dog for 2 weeks. I was concerned leaving her for such a long time, but Mary treated her as if she was her own dog. I received at least one photo from her every day. Right from the start I could see that my dog was healthy and happy.”
“Lindsay was quick to respond to all my messages and made it easy to arrange drop off and pick up. She sent a number of photos of my dog and took her for a number of long walks, just what the dog needs to balance her abundance energy. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Ryan and his family did an amazing job taking care of our dog Tuck! They sent us videos and text messages to keep us informed about how he was doing. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for! We will definitely rebook with Ryan in the future!”
“Emma is just the best!! My winston loves her and always has so much fun! She is very responsive and sends the perfect amount of updates throughout the day to let you know how your pup is doing. Emma is definitely my go-to Rover now!!”
“We had a wonderful experience! This family took excellent care of our mini goldendoodle while we were on vacation—so kind, attentive, and thoughtful. They sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us total peace of mind and showed he was happy and having fun. Highly recommend!”
“Robert was wonderful. I felt really good leaving my fur baby with him. He sent updates and pictures which I really appreciated. I would definitely book with Robert again.”
“Amy was great! Our dog Cobi was with her for 10 days. I felt at ease leaving him with her because I know he was being spoiled and loved on. She sent many pictures and updates. He even came home with a few more toys then he left with. Thanks Amy!”
“Maggie and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Teddy! He stayed with them for almost a week, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Maggie kept us updated every day with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Teddy looked so happy and well cared for—we could tell he was having a great time away from home. Their dog, Nova, was also such a sweetheart, and she and Teddy had a great time playing together. We had zero worries while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend Maggie to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Ms. Ivy had the best time with Michelle. She got to hangout and snuggle with the entire family. She was well taken care of and her meds were administered successfully. Ivy will be staying with Michelle’s family again in April and I know she’ll be so excited to see her new friends.”
“Brad did an excellent job taking care of Madigan and she stayed comfortable even having heart disease. He truly cared about her and let her know it. I highly recommend Brad as an option for your dog's care.”
“Mary took our dog for our wedding weekend and she was great! Pugsy had a great time with her dog, going on a walk, and going to the dog park! She sent pictures and we did not worry about Pugsy at all! We will definitely book with Mary in the future!”
“Laura welcomed our Barley into her home with open arms. She allowed us to come with Barley and check things out before having Barley stay with her. Shadow, Laura's massive golden retriever, is the friendliest pup around and gave Barley the opportunity to learn all the tricks around the house! :) We are so very lucky to have found Laura (and Shadow) and plan to have this be Barley's home away from home in the future!”

“Sydney came over a couple of days while we were out of town to take care of our cat. Our cat is normally scared of strangers and will hide. Not with Sydney. I was so happy when she sent pictures of him out and about. Overall, she did a great job! I would recommend Sydney and hope to continue to use her for future visits.”
About: I have owned cats my whole life, both indoor and outdoor. I am very comfortable providing care to cats of all ages. I have experience caring for senior cats, sick cats, or kittens. I can administer medications if necessary, and can provide the BEST cuddles for your kitties (if they allow it!) I have two cats of my own currently, so I know how mischievous they can be or needing playful stimulation when home alone for too long. I would love to give you peace of mind in making sure your cat is well cared for and looked after when you are away from home.
About: I’m a life-long cat lover and owner. In addition to having my own cats, I’m a foster with a cat rescue based near Madison. I know how stressful it is to leave your fur babies in the care of someone else, and I always treat the cats under my care with the same love and responsibility that I do my own.
“Hillary has been a lifesaver for us when we needed a pet sitter! She was willing to come do drop-in visits for our cats, one being diabetic, for a couple of holiday trips. She was very friendly and communicative, and was willing to work with our shy kitties. Thank you so much for your help, Hillary!”
About: I have grown up around all different breeds of dogs and cats!! I also have a Facebook page called Bethany pet sitting that you can check out my reviews and see all of the pets I have taken care. I grew up on a farm so I have lots of farm experience. If you don’t see a service listed below feel free to message me and let me know what you’re looking for and I can try my hardest to accommodate that request.
About: I have owned all sorts of dogs, big and small, so I know the specific needs for nearly every breed. I am an energetic person so I love to walk/run with dogs, but I also enjoy cuddling up and just giving them loving! At this time, there are no animals of my own in the house. I really hope to find clients that would like recurring stays/visits so I can make more furry friends and figure out the best care for that specific dog. Also, I'm an avid runner, so high energy dogs are very welcome! I work at the hospital nearly every day, but I am able to give your pet my full attention during the weekends. Dogs that are routinely left home during the weekday are welcome during the week, as I am not able to come home and let them out during the day. I am typically gone for about 10 hours a day. We live on a 10 acre farm with tons of room to run and explore (on leash)! We have outdoor farm animals but they tend to mind their own business and don’t bother visitors! Your pet will be treated like my own while in my care, plus some extra treats! ;)
About: As a proud cat parent to two spoiled felines, a curious Bengal and a chatty Oriental Shorthair, I know just how unique and particular cats can be. Whether your kitty is playful and energetic or prefers quiet companionship, I’m here to provide the personalized care they need while you’re away. From feeding and litter box maintenance to playtime, brushing, and cuddles (if they’re into that!), I’ll treat your cat like one of my own. I understand cat body language, respect their space, and know how to earn their trust, on their terms, of course!

About: My name is Gina. I have pet sat and worked in doggy daycares for several years. I enjoy the reprieve of being around and interacting with animals. I have lived with cats growing up and currently reside with dogs. I try to cater to their specific needs as I know each animal is different. I provide affection, exercise and care with walks, play toy/fetch, cuddle/pet, feedings, and I make sure to leave the area as clean as when I arrived. I am playful and will get down and silly with them on their level. I am also respectful of coming into their home/domain. They get to check me out first for approval and allow me into their space.

About: I have had animals since I was very young so lots of experience. Have owned 3 rescue dogs who are just like members of my family. Recently, I have been helping friends with their animals when they vacation and am looking to extend my client group to the local area. I am very active so walking dogs is very enjoyable for me.

I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m confident handling everything from high-energy pups to shy or nervous dogs. I have experience with reactive pups too!

When staying with us, there’s always someone in home to care for pups 24/7! I have a big unfenced yard with long lines in the front and the back so pups can be separated while outdoors. We have a complete living space on both floors so any pups can be separated and still feel at home. We have three pups and a few cats that get along well with others! All of our pups are crate trained, and we have many extra crates around the home in the event we have some crate trained friends over.

“Kate is amazing! Not only does she send you updates but she also is consistent with the training you and your dog are working on. She treated my dog like it was her own and I feel like my dog is so safe with her. Definitely going to Kate again!”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my hands-on experience and dedication. I've fed cats and dogs, walked them, and stayed overnight for extended periods. I've also trained puppies and my own dog, ensuring a well-rounded approach to pet care. Pet owners have relied on me for consistent care, knowing I’m always there when needed. My commitment to providing personalized and compassionate attention makes me a trustworthy choice for any pet sitting job. I am currently a technical college student who only goes to school twice a week while the rest is online, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available to care for your dog Thursday-Sunday most weeks and will give them all the time they need! I like to know the pets routine/schedule and understand any behavior they may have. I would love to know the intentions of me watching your beloved doggy and what you need from me personally to make you and your dog as comfortable as possible.

If your dog needs their own space, we have extra rooms in the house that can be their own during their stay.

Although I have another job, and have a family, I still have flexibility to do pet care. :-) I care for my own animals deeply in one of my top priorities is meeting their needs.

About: I have had experience with both cats and dogs since I was a toddler. In my teens, I became active on surrounding farms so I also bonded with horses and cows. I have experience in dog walking and house sitting for pets. I'm currently a college student, so my summers are very open to fit most times and schedules. I likely will be working a second shift part-time job during the week days. I have a fenced-in yard and two cats. I'm comfortable taking care of all sizes of pets, and I love walking dogs. I have experience in multiple different types of walking environments and weather as well.
About: I work in healthcare. I’m looking to fill my days off with enjoyable things, like spending time with animals! Pets bring so much happiness to my life!

About: I love dogs! Let me cuddle and love your dog while you’re away! I love to stay active outside and take walks/jogs outdoors. Before committing to a dog myself, I want to experience some of the restrictions that come with having a dog (being home immediately after work/during the day to let the dog out in normal non-Covid times, not staying out too late on the weekends, etc). Hopefully I can use Rover to get my dog fix until I’m able to make the decision to get my own dog. I have severe cat allergies and am allergic to some large dogs, which is why I favor small dogs. I prefer non-shedding dogs to keep my allergies in check. Reach out if you have questions!

About: Hi there! I'm Brooke! I have 8+ years of professional animal care experience. I've volunteered at multiple shelters and handled all different kinds of animals, but i've grown up with animals my whole life! I've also dealt with all kinds of animals high energy and low so i'm up for the challenge! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Pretty much my whole days are available to play with your furry friends! i’m available from as early as 7 am to as late as 10 pm! I have an open yard and three dogs of my own to keep yours company (they can be put away if needed) i also have crates if needed as well!
“Does a great job with my dog. Will be calling again for future needs. But my pup is ready to be on his own for the work day. Thank you very much for all your help and expertise!”
About: Hi my name is Jasira (Ja-Sigh-rah) and I am a loving puppy mama who is an all around pet lover! Those big doggie eyes just melt my heart every time. If your pet is staying at with me, they will feel like they are part of our family. Your pup will receive the same love and attention I give to my puppy and will be handled with extreme care. If you’re a cat lover you’re definitely want to book with me. Your pretty kitty will get all the love or space they want. I work from home so it is very easy for me to social distance. My baby is a 3 year old mix named Yoshi. Yoshi loves new friends and is always ready to hang out with many toys to share. He's a sweet pup and will make any guest feel welcome. He is always kept up to date with his shot records, flea/tick prevention, and everything that makes a happy healthy pup. In your pet's care bag, I mainly need to have your pet's food, favorite toy, and leash & poop bags. Other things you can include are food/water bowls, brush and any specific treats. Your pet must be clean upon drop off. Unfortunately if not, you must be willing to pay grooming fees or cancel our booking. I know how scary it can be to leave your baby with someone else so whether it be dog walking, dog/cat sitting you have nothing to worry about! Your pet will have an amazing time and eat some great treats (owner permitted of course)! I have dog puzzles and they will get plenty of fresh air! I look forward to meeting some amazing pets and their humans. Can’t wait to see you! Disclaimer: Same Day/Last Minute Booking Fee May Apply) I’m currently working from home so I’m always available to the furbabies I’m sitting. We’ll have a great day together that will include some playtime, some walks and of course some treats LOL I have a puppy so they have a built in friend. I’m happy to accommodate any specific needs or schedules that your dog may follow. Since I work from home I am able to walk my dog three times a day, play and have time for play. Treats of course are involved(with permission). I walk my dog in our neighborhood. It is very safe and there are lots of other friendly dogs to say hi to. I make sure to have my dog on a leash prior to opening any doors. In Yoshi’s playhouse all dogs are carefully watched and protected.

“Christine was super with Joey, who is a 9 month old 63 pound puppy. I was concerned about her getting along with other dogs. Christine's knowledge and experience came through and she was able to introduce Joey to new dogs successfully, and all were happy and played together. I received lots of pictures and updates which helped me to relax and have a great vacation. Would I have Christine take care of Joey again, absolutely no question about it, she did a great job.”
“We felt Teddy was very well taken care of. He got lots of love, plenty of tennis ball throws, and sweet cuddles from Heather and her daughter. It felt great knowing Teddy was in such good hands while we were away.”
“Sure! Here's a thoughtful review you can leave for Ryan and Martha: --- Ryan and Martha were absolutely wonderful with Yogi! From the start, their communication was excellent — clear, prompt, and always thoughtful. They made dropoff and pickup incredibly easy and were very flexible with the timing, which we really appreciated. Throughout Yogi’s stay, they sent us regular updates and the sweetest photos that clearly showed how happy and comfortable he was. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. You can tell they genuinely care about animals and treat them like part of the family. We would absolutely trust them with Yogi again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, responsible, and communicative pet sitters.”
“Mary did an amazing job caring for my dog for 2 weeks. I was concerned leaving her for such a long time, but Mary treated her as if she was her own dog. I received at least one photo from her every day. Right from the start I could see that my dog was healthy and happy.”
“Lindsay was quick to respond to all my messages and made it easy to arrange drop off and pick up. She sent a number of photos of my dog and took her for a number of long walks, just what the dog needs to balance her abundance energy. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Ryan and his family did an amazing job taking care of our dog Tuck! They sent us videos and text messages to keep us informed about how he was doing. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for! We will definitely rebook with Ryan in the future!”
“Emma is just the best!! My winston loves her and always has so much fun! She is very responsive and sends the perfect amount of updates throughout the day to let you know how your pup is doing. Emma is definitely my go-to Rover now!!”
“Robert was wonderful. I felt really good leaving my fur baby with him. He sent updates and pictures which I really appreciated. I would definitely book with Robert again.”
“Maggie and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Teddy! He stayed with them for almost a week, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Maggie kept us updated every day with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Teddy looked so happy and well cared for—we could tell he was having a great time away from home. Their dog, Nova, was also such a sweetheart, and she and Teddy had a great time playing together. We had zero worries while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend Maggie to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Ms. Ivy had the best time with Michelle. She got to hangout and snuggle with the entire family. She was well taken care of and her meds were administered successfully. Ivy will be staying with Michelle’s family again in April and I know she’ll be so excited to see her new friends.”
“Brad did an excellent job taking care of Madigan and she stayed comfortable even having heart disease. He truly cared about her and let her know it. I highly recommend Brad as an option for your dog's care.”
“Laura welcomed our Barley into her home with open arms. She allowed us to come with Barley and check things out before having Barley stay with her. Shadow, Laura's massive golden retriever, is the friendliest pup around and gave Barley the opportunity to learn all the tricks around the house! :) We are so very lucky to have found Laura (and Shadow) and plan to have this be Barley's home away from home in the future!”
“Christina and Jeremy have been wonderful to work with and my Pomeranian has had great stays with them. Looking forward to booking their services again in the future!”
“Neko came home exhausted so he must have had a wonderful time! Judd and Becky were so kind and worked well with us on a last minute request and we will absolutely use them again!”
“Teddy had a great stay with Kate! We loved getting photo updates, and it was such a thoughtful touch that she sent him home with his favorite toy (Patrick Star!) and a goodie bag. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Kate again in the future.”
“Lee was great with our high-energy dogs. They clearly had a lot of fun in his large fenced-in yard, and Lee provided pictures and updates daily! He was also very responsive and flexible when our travel plans changed”
About: I’ve worked with dogs through volunteering at animal shelters for over 12 years. I have experience fostering dogs of all ages, and I am Fear Free certified. I don’t have a dog myself yet, so I’ll love and care for your pup as though they are my own! I work full-time, so I am outside of the home 8+ hours on weekdays. I can provide care in the morning before work and in the evening after work, and on weekends. I am available most holidays as well. I make sure to earn the trust of every animal I work with, which includes respecting their boundaries as we are getting to know each other. That being said, I’ll make sure your pet gets the food, exercise, and attention they need to feel safe and happy while you are away.
