“My dogs stayed with Emma for one night while we were in town for a wedding. We were coming from out of town and had to change our arrival time more than once. Emma was very particular with us! 😀”
“Frank and Julie were great! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. We got plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. Plenty of walks and play time too! Highly recommend.”
“Percy had an amazing stay! I can tell he felt right at home and loved by Lisa and her beautiful family. I felt at ease being able to enjoy my trip knowing our fur baby was well taken care of. Lisa provided sweet pictures and kept us posted on Percy's behaviors! Thank you so much!”
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
“Gina surpassed all my expectations! Dolly could not have had a better experience with her. She sent me pictures and videos of Dolly enjoying every minute of her little vacation. It is easy to see how much Gina cares about dogs and their owners! She is a ray of light with boundless attentiveness to Dolly's wants and needs. I can't wait until the next time Dolly gets to be with Gina. She makes sure the time is nurturing and fun! Thanks so much!”
“Maria was great! While on vacation we got delayed an extra night due to a tropical storm and she was quick to help and eased any worry of having a safe place for our dog. Chewy is a great pup but in need of a little extra attention and Maria easily fulfilled this as she only watched one dog at a time having Chewy return to us happy and healthy! We were also able to see updates on him through the pictures she sent and could see his personality still shining through as he was definitely comfortable in her care.”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Our dogs settled in and got comfortable enough to snuggle and play with multiple members of the household. We appreciated all the communication and them referencing the dogs’ profiles to make sure they knew how to help them best while we were away. Thanks again!”
“Anu and her family continue to provide our Ginger with a wonderful stay while we travel. Ginger LOVES visiting! She gets lots of play and tons of love. We are so grateful to them for providing such a wonderful service and making Ginger feel right at home. Thank you for another great stay!”
“Very nice couple! We could tell they really cared about our dog and wanted to give her a good experience. She is older and has many different medications that need to be given at all different times and they handled all this very well. Highly recommend.”
“Karen and Chris were great with our cat! He can be a bit annoying looking for attention but they were patient and he was spoiled and well cared for. Looking forward to booking with them again.”
“It was our first time using Rovers and leaving our dog, PJ, with someone who was not family. Mark and Susan were great with her and provided us updates over the weekend while away. Appreciated them having a meet & greet prior to us leaving her for the weekend. PJ got lots of walks and attention and was very content under their care. Overall, a great first experience. We will definitely reach out to them in the future when are in need of care for PJ.”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and caring for them brings me happiness, comfort, purpose, and genuine joy every single day. I work during the week, but I spend my breaks and free time caring for animals. I’m also available on weekends, which gives me even more time to bond with and care for them. My two dogs couldn’t be more lovable. My chocolate lab is always ready for outdoor adventures and endless snuggles, while my golden retriever is the sweetest social butterfly who loves other dogs and never turns down extra pets.
“Korri and James place is Mica’s home away from home. Thank you both for loving Mica and giving us peace of mind when we’re away. There is no one else I’d trust with Mica. Appreciate you!”
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 8, it started with a cat and grew to dogs and snakes and more, working with animals is my dream job. I work factory Monday through Friday but Friday night into Sunday I am available for pet care. I have 2 cats and a dog at my own home, but I am more than happy to dog sit at others homes. I make sure my cats litter boxes are kept clean, I keep their food bowls filled, and I keep their water filled. I walk my dog a lot and I take her out every couple hours to use the bathroom.
“Kota took on my 13 week old puppy and I am so pleased with how well my puppy did at her home! Kota snuggled and loved and cared for her like she was her own! She communicated daily and sent the cutest pictures! I give my highest recommendation to her! So much better than a kennel when you need boarding! Your pet will be welcomed into their home and treated like a family member!”

“Ella was amazing watching our kitties while we were gone! She had great communication and sent us multiple pictures everyday to check in! She is very kind and even got our very shy kitty to open up to her! We will absolutely book with her again and I will recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter!”
“Megan is courteous, thorough, and has been amazing to work with. Our cat, Meeko, was comfortable with her from the very beginning. While we were gone, she sent updates and photos with each visit. You could see that Meeko was comfortable having her around. We came home to a tidy house and a happy cat. What more could you ask for?”
“Debbie took the time to let Mick get used to her. She truly cares about the pets she cares for. If I ever need services in the future, I will definitely be asking for her. I'm sure Mick will miss her.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10, checking in on my neighbors animals while they were out of town and then have always had animals growing up. I have 2 dogs and a cat so we are a very pet friendly family. I currently work very part time and have lots of flexibility to help care for others animals. Would love to help others with their animals when needed. I have a fenced in yard and my fur babies love to have new friends to play. I am also willing to pet sit at other homes and offer whatever flexibility to help!
“Laura was absolutely incredible! She treated my animals like her own, followed my instructions to a T (because one of my cats takes meds), used the Rover card daily with detailed updates and plenty of cute photos, and showed my cats plenty of love when I was away and unable to. She was phenomenal and I will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
“My two cats were well cared for by Tiffani. The photos she sent each day make me believe they were comfortable with her being there. I came home to find them fed and watered, and having been cleaned up after.”
About: Nurturing Animal Expert + Two Mini Assistants Ready to Love Your Pet. We have 3 cats already and we just love meeting new fur babies. My children are typically with me during drop ins but rest assured they understand that cats need space and to not crowd or overwhelm them
About: I’ve been a cat lover my entire life and currently have two tortie Siamese cats who keep life entertaining every day. Living with cats has taught me that no two are alike. Some are social and curious, others are independent or a little shy. I enjoy taking the time to earn a cat’s trust, respect their boundaries, and care for them in the way that makes them feel most comfortable. What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets who need extra attention. My senior Yorkshire Terrier is blind and diabetic, so I administer insulin injections twice a day and monitor her closely. That experience has made me patient, dependable, and attentive to the little things that can make a big difference. I’m comfortable caring for senior cats, giving oral medications, and following detailed care instructions. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, relaxed, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind through thoughtful care and regular photo updates. 💜

I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic care, supervising playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away.

“Wonderful! Alexus took great care of our 2 house rabbits while we were away. She sent updates and let us know how things were going. We came home to happy bunnies with full bellies. I've already booked for the next weekend we'll be away!”

“Highly recommend Chelsea! She was very easy to communicate with and was able to take Voss on short notice when we had to be in town unexpectedly. My dog had a fun day playing with her dogs in the fenced back yard and house. She even trimmed his nails for us which was really great. We’ll be back if we need care in Oshkosh again!”
“Emma was great, she went above & beyond to make sure Indagos stay was great! She's so good with him. I'm so thankful she likes him & Indago liked her. I was worried being a blue healer with lots of energy. Only God could provide such a great dog sitter for him. 💛🐕💛”
“Preslie and her family were amazing and took such good care of our Ruby! They were so warm and welcoming, attentive and communicative. Our puppy came home happy and exhausted from all the fun playing with Kaiya. Highly recommend”
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Don for doggy daycare. He sends photo and video updates throughout the day and takes time to ensure my dog is having fun at him home! There is lots of space for him to run and play outside. Don is the best when it comes to communicating and caring for my pup.”

“Kota was great with our pup Amelia. We hadn’t ever had anyone else watch her and kota definitely put my mind at ease by sending lots of pictures and updates. We aren’t from the area but if we are ever back we would definitely have her watch Amelia again. Also love that she has a fully fenced yard, huge plus and add more peace of mind.”
About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets since I was 12 which includes staying overnight at their homes when they are gone for weeks. I do long and short care sitting for pets. I love to spend time with pets and making sure they get the care they deserve. I am currently not working right now but will have a part time job soon. I will talk with the owners and work out a good schedule that will work best for all. Growing up we have used an invisible fence and radio collars to keep our dogs in our yard. We made sure to check in on them periodically while they were outside. While I'm taking care of my friends pets, I would play inside and outside with them, go on walks with them, and make sure they get the best care.
About: As someone who loves both dogs and cats, I understand that every animal has a unique personality. I know that some pets want nonstop playtime while others prefer quiet companionship. I take the time to make pets feel comfortable and respected, helping reduce stress while their owners are away. From energetic dogs to cuddly cats and senior pets needing extra attention, I provide personalized care for every animal I meet. 🐾❤️ I’m currently working part time as a server at a restaurant and the shift are very short 4-5 hours. I only work a fees shifts a week so I can be there for your pets a majority of the day!! I have a 1 bedroom apartment but it’s always clean, and there’s plenty of room! I do have a cat of my own so I would prefer to watch your pet at your home!
“My dogs had an amazing day! I got updates and pictures throughout the day! They got to go for a walk! My youngest dog was sleeping less than 5 minutes into our drive home. I would give 10 stars if I could!!”
“Extremely happy with Bobbie and Clark. Our 6 month old Shepard husky means the world to us and we were confident she was in good hands as the day progressed and we were sent updates. We will definitely be returning to them in the future and we wish we could give them 10 stars on the basis of communication and care for our beloved pet!”
“Great experience, Ally did a great job watching Bart. She was very accommodating with us. After meeting both her an Coy we felt very comfortable leaving Bart in her care. We would definitely let her watch him again.”
About: Hello! My name is Sadie. I’m a board certified behavior analyst who works with children on the Autism Spectrum. I have a soft spot in my heart for all animals- I was that child that stepped over ants to avoid squishing them. I grew up with a Springer Spaniel, cats, and a rabbit (: I currently have 3 cats, Nimi, Gizmo, Figarro, and a dog named Perci. Additionally, I have experience caring for ferrets, goats, sheep, and fish. I’ll treat your animals as my own, and show them endless love and care. I’m super excited to meet you and your animals! I currently work full time M-F, but do make my own schedule. I see a lot of my clients either before or after work. I also have weekends off! Meet and greets are important to me for boarding to ensure it’s a good fit for your dog. However, I understand if it is not feasible. I have a dog and 3 cats who are free to roam the house and are allowed on furniture. My dog sleeps with me so yours is more than welcome to join the snuggle party! I also have a daughter (3 years old) who loves her animals, so your fur baby will get lots of love from all of us.
“Emily took such good care of our Obi! Emily and her family took him in like their own! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was very attentive to all our puppy’s needs 😊 🩷 Would highly recommend Emily for all your pets needs!”
“We had a last-minute Rover request, and Bobbi responded quickly and made booking easy. Even though it was a short stay, we could tell our dog had a great time especially with Mercy, their adorable pug! Bobbi shared updates and photos, and Nova seemed to really enjoy their spacious backyard. Bobbi was so kind and welcoming. We’d absolutely recommend her to others!”
About: Hi I'm Matt. I'm a big animal lover, and have been in the animal field for 15yrs working with all different types of wildlife. Have experience in giving vaccines(IM or SQ), oral meds, and basic care. I have since moved onto a new adventure in lawncare. I have been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with a German Shepherd, a purebred Samoyed, and a tabby cat. Currently, I have 2 beagle-shepherd mixes, Hunter and Holmes, who are 2 of the sweetest boys you will meet. We are often outdoors taking our daily walk, hiking local state parks, camping, or just working in the yard. I have always loved being around animals, especially dogs, and find that having them brings such happiness to life. The boys and I are together daily. I currently work typically Mondays thru Fridays sometimes varied or longer hours. However, we always make time to go for a walk daily, and on the weekends typically are out exploring. Hunter gets meds twice a day in a pill supplement as well as I trim their nails and baths occasionally. I currently rent a duplex that has a fenced backyard, and also have a spare bedroom and wire kennel if needed. Typically my dogs free roam during the day, and are good to be alone overnight or up to 10hrs which can allow me to spend time with your furry friend.

“Debbie was wonderfully caring for our dog Finley. Paying extra attention that he had a good walk and ate his dinner. She communicated every step of the way and made us feel so comfortable leaving our little guy behind.”
About: I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, birds, turtles, lizards, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I have experience with temperamental or reactive animals as well. Animals are my passion and both friends and family know they can rely on me to provide exceptional care, love and respect to their fur babies while they are away. No animal is too big or too small! I am currently unemployed and in the job searching process so I have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether you need dog walking services or in-home care I can more than likely make it work for your needs! I have a beagle/boxer mix who gets daily walks and has a big fenced in yard to enjoy at our home. I also have two cats, a classic brown tabby and a petite tuxedo girly. We are unique as we bring all of our animals camping so they get to experience the outdoors with us! My animals are treated like my children and part of the family which is exactly how I would treat yours. I honestly prefer animals over humans.
About: I have a mastiff and lab at home so I'm comfortable with walking small or large breed dogs. I can do drop in or walking . Retired after 26 years of working in law enforcement and am much happier spending my days helping with pets. I have a very open and flexible availability. I am not able to care for your pets in my home due to my mastiff being extremely territorial. I am comfortable doing drop in care or walking your pets.
“Sarah was wonderful! She was incredibly patient with both my pup and me. He can be a bit anxious and isn’t used to being away from his family, but Sarah took the time to help him feel comfortable and secure enough to enjoy his walk. Her communication was excellent, and I felt confident that she would treat him with kindness and compassion!”
About: My love and compassion for animals is what sets me apart from other dog sitters. From little on I have always had a pet to now having two very spoiled dogs of my own. I have worked with pets from all different sizes and ages. Pet care in my daily schedule is a priorty. Having two dogs of my own I know how important it is for them to exercise, whether it be going to the dog park, a walk in the neighborhood or playing in the backyard I will make sure your pets needs are met! As a dedicated dog sitter, I go above and beyond to provide personalized care tailored to your dog’s unique needs and personality. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and my commitment to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for your furry friend. I prioritize open communication with pet owners, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your dog is in great hands. Whether it’s extra cuddles, a favorite toy, or a specific routine, I ensure your pet feels right at home, even when you’re away. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities!

About: “God speaks to the creatures through the creatures.” -Dr. Chase. “All you need is love.” -John Lennon. Plenty of love I have to give, but I also have the experience of 35 years as a science teacher. I’m well-versed in how animals like dogs and cats talk to us through their gestures. Dogs evolved with humans, and I understand that relationship and how dogs meet our emotional needs. Please read my first four reviews which I received from pet owners that I served even before signing up with Rover. The pet owner decides when treats are allowed, if table scraps are allowed, and how much food to give. The dog decides when it wants to go potty. 😉 Just in case, I usually take the dog out before it decides and always before any discomfort. Snuggles welcome. 🐾🥰😻 When serving you and your pet, I like to send pictures. We can also use FaceTime or Zoom to check in. 🐶🤩 At age 61, I’ve been a retired teacher for 3 years, and my activity level allows me to run or play with your beloved dog. In your home, I follow instructions and do the routine for your beloved just like you would. However, if I’m allowed to give more snuggles, or more walks, or more training than you normally have time for, I’m at your service.
About: I've worked over 16 years with dogs and cats at a local animal shelter. I have assisted hundreds of people over that time with training, and also trained many dogs to set them up for success. I can bathe, trim nails, clean ears. I'm extremely responsible and reliable and have completed several cerificate courses regarding training, care, behavior modification, in addition to my hand's on experience. I love working with animals! At the moment my schedule is wide open. I am taking onlines classes and am lucky to not have to work a typical 9-5 job. We have a fenced-in yard. Inside my home, I can baby gate your dog(s) in our dining room and kitchen area if need be. Whatever instructions of care I am given will be followed as specified.
About: My family has had a dog since I was younger and I currently have a mini goldendoodle. I understand how keeping dogs happy and cared for is vital to ‘owners.’ I have a very flexible and open schedule! I like to take my own dog for longer walks to get energy out and relax our minds together. I love playing with them so they’re not just sitting around unhappy. It’s important to me to make sure all of their needs are met as I believe this affects longevity and overall well-being.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of different ages and needs. I've trained my own dog since she was a puppy, and she's learned commands such as sit, stay, wait, lay down, shake, roll over, and heel, including walking calmly off leash. Through that experience, I've learned the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. I've also cared for dogs with special needs, including my sister's French Bulldog with a cleft palate, which required extra attention during feeding and daily care. In addition, I've dog sat for a dog that needed heartworm medication, so I'm comfortable following care instructions and administering medications as directed. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and treat every dog like they're part of my own family. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule as a full-time dental hygiene student. While school keeps me busy, I’m organized and able to dedicate time throughout the week to providing reliable care, attention, and companionship for pets. I currently work one day a week at Bath & Body Works, which allows me to balance my responsibilities while making time for pet care. I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding routines, litter box cleaning, and quality time with animals into my schedule. I’m responsible, dependable, and understand how important it is for pets to have consistency and care while their owners are away. I provide pet care in my client's home so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow each owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, medication needs, and any special care requirements. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I will keep their space clean, provide plenty of attention and companionship, and send updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Anu and her family continue to provide our Ginger with a wonderful stay while we travel. Ginger LOVES visiting! She gets lots of play and tons of love. We are so grateful to them for providing such a wonderful service and making Ginger feel right at home. Thank you for another great stay!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and caring for them brings me happiness, comfort, purpose, and genuine joy every single day. I work during the week, but I spend my breaks and free time caring for animals. I’m also available on weekends, which gives me even more time to bond with and care for them. My two dogs couldn’t be more lovable. My chocolate lab is always ready for outdoor adventures and endless snuggles, while my golden retriever is the sweetest social butterfly who loves other dogs and never turns down extra pets.
“Korri and James place is Mica’s home away from home. Thank you both for loving Mica and giving us peace of mind when we’re away. There is no one else I’d trust with Mica. Appreciate you!”
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 8, it started with a cat and grew to dogs and snakes and more, working with animals is my dream job. I work factory Monday through Friday but Friday night into Sunday I am available for pet care. I have 2 cats and a dog at my own home, but I am more than happy to dog sit at others homes. I make sure my cats litter boxes are kept clean, I keep their food bowls filled, and I keep their water filled. I walk my dog a lot and I take her out every couple hours to use the bathroom.
“Kota took on my 13 week old puppy and I am so pleased with how well my puppy did at her home! Kota snuggled and loved and cared for her like she was her own! She communicated daily and sent the cutest pictures! I give my highest recommendation to her! So much better than a kennel when you need boarding! Your pet will be welcomed into their home and treated like a family member!”
“Kathy did a great job. She came through for me at a moments notice when my boarder had a cancellation. Her dogs did well with my boy. He came home happy and tired which is a good thing.”
“Mabel had such a wonderful time staying with Catherine and Andrew. She loved their large fenced yard, and the walks and cuddles she received. I felt very good about leaving her in their care, and hope to again for our next trip.”
“Very helpful in taking care of both my girls, I appreciate the pictures and Don checking in to ask about my senior baby's diet when I had some recent changes with it. Also appreciate the flexibility with pick up and drop off!”
“Susan was wonderful to work with when trying to find a sitter for our dog. She was quick to respond and was so kind to our dog. I loved that she sent pictures while we were away. I highly recommend Susan. :)”
“Nikki will take excellent care of your pup! Our golden doodle, Luna, stayed with her for two nights. Nikki sent a lot of updates and pictures. She has great backyard for the dogs to run around. Hight recommend!!”
“The family took good care of my dog. I received a couple pics and great communication overall with Harley. I would use Harley in the future if they were willing. Thank you guys so much for loving our Gemma!”
“Brianna did a great job with my pup! She sent updates and pictures and was super easy to work with. I couldn’t be happier with how the weekend went. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a safe and loving home away from home for their pet!”
