Personalized care for your dog or cat - Walhain
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Walhain
“Melissa did an amazing job! I would recommend her to anyone! My pup was well taken care of and loved the whole time she was there! Our dog has never been watched out of her home so for her first time ever going somewhere like this Melissa made my dog feel right at home and part of the family!”
“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!”
“This was our first time leaving Osito overnight anywhere outside our home and we left him for 7 nights. Shanna was amazing making Osito feel comfortable. Osito had a chance to interact with other dogs as well (something he previously had not had much experience with) and we got pictures daily of how he was doing. It was great peace of mind knowing that even though we missed him he was having a little vacation of his own. We will definitely be booking with Shanna again when the time comes.”
“Heather gave frequent updates and pictures to ease my mind that our dog was well taken care of and also having fun. She was great in communicating pick up and drop off and offered a lot of flexibility. Thank you Heather!!!”
“Melissa was fabulous with Bear! This was our first time using Rover and we loved our experience! She sent pictures and kept us informed and was very transparent. Definitely recommend.”
“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!!”
“Kristal and Scott did a wonderful job taking care of our Rosie Rae. They kept us updated and sent pics daily. I recommend them highly. Very nice couple and very clean house Will absolutely use them again.”
“Our one year old Bernese mountain dog, Maize, spent four nights with Jeff. She is curious, loves to be outside and check out new smells. His yard was perfect for her! Jeff was perfect for her. He took her on walks and gave her plenty of time to explore his backyard. Maizie was exhausted and slept the whole afternoon when we brought her home. I'm sure she was dreaming about her new friend. Super Experience! We already have another time booked.”
“Great set up with the yard...friendly dogs...and Tara and her husband were very communicative. Dealing with them made you feel like they really cared and it wasn't just a job. Definitely recommend!”
“Oreo and Sky were well taken care of. We received photos every day. Given that Oreo is almost 15 it is important for us to use an at home person. Sky being a puppy can be a bit crazy so she needs outside time. Thank you.”
“Sara was awesome! Got pics and updates and so understanding when our plane was delayed! The dogs had a nice fenced in backyard to play abs got lots of love♥️ We absolutely love her and will use her again.”
“Denise is very friendly! She invited us over for a “meet and greet” before we booked and that was super helpful. She kept us up to date with texts and pictures while we were away. Marlo was well taken care of care of, and it was so nice to travel “worry free”. We’d highly recommend and will definitely book again! Thank you so much!”
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.
“We loved working with Kimberly. She watched our dog for the first time and suggested a meet and greet to make sure she was a good fit with her own dog. We loved that and it made us trust her from the start. When we met her, Kimberly asked us many questions about our dog that made us feel like she would take very good care of her. Also, Kimberly’s home is quite literally the perfect set up for dogs. We know that our dog loved staying there and we enjoyed the updates Kimberly sent us throughout her stay. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Kristin gave regular updates with pics and vids which set our mind at ease that all was well with our pets. I really get a sense that she cared for them like they were her own. Highly recommend”
“Shelby was great. Without hesitation, she was more than willing to accommodate our goldendoodle with his daily medication schedule. She provided frequent updates while we were away and made is away of any possible concerns.”

“Emily always provides a great service for my cat Journey! He loves attention and she manages to entertain him during the visits so he’s not too upset when we get back home. 😻”
“Cannot recommend Emma enough. I booked with her kind of last minute but she was quick to respond and flexible with timing. She was super communicative during her visits with my cat, sending tons of pictures and info about how he was.”
“Amber did a great job in taking care of our pets. We have one dog that is hesitant with new people but Amber did great with her. She was at our house on time and always sent pictures. We will definitely ask her to watch our pets again.”
About: I have had horses and dogs along with all sorts of animals my whole life. I have assisted with litters of puppies and worked years in a veterinary clinic. My animals are my family and I will care for yours in the same way! I work Monday through Friday 8-5 and am off on the weekends I would be available after work and on the weekends. If that works let me know! I also take my small dog to work with me and my springer goes to daycare next to my work. I have a large fenced in backyard! Pets are like family in my home!! They are allowed on furniture! I have many years of experience from 6 pounds to 150 pound Great Danes.
“Jeanne continues to be the best! One of my cats wasn’t feeling her best when I left and Jeanne was very attentive and gave her extra love and got her back to feeling herself while I was gone!”
About: My family and I had a dog of our own for about 13 years during my childhood, allowing me to gain experience in feeding, training, and walking dogs. Now that she has sadly passed away, I would love to give other pets the same love I am no longer able to give to my own pet. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to smother your pets with my love! Late mornings and early afternoons are the times that typically work best for me, but I am flexible and willing to try anything! I will only allow pets that are fine being outside because my house does not allow pets indoors. I have a large yard surrounded by fields in a rural area where pets are free to roam in sight as long as they’re well-trained.
“Carly came into our home before the trip to meet and get to know the cats and routine. It was lovely to be able to talk with her before and throughout the visits. My two cats loved her very quickly and she got pictures that are now my favorite of the kitties. Will be the first I contact for any further kitty sitting needs! 10/10”
About: I grew up with two dogs in the house as well as have watched and taken care of multiple friend’s pets when they have been out of town. I also have three cats of my own. I work full time from 8-5:00pm Monday through Thursday. 8am-11:30am on Friday. Weekends work well for overnight care. Available before and after work and days off are full attention to pet. I make sure that they are properly nourished and taken care of as well as given attention so that they don’t feel alone. I treat them as if they were my own.
“This is the first time I’ve used Rover.COM and had the pleasure of having Teressa watch my cat. She was everything I could have asked for. Always loved up my cat, on time and really have me piece of mind while I was gone. She’s an amazing gal and I will choose her again anytime I need a sitter.”
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs and love them all. I am comfortable administering medication, cleaning ears, trimming toenails and cleaning litter boxes! I have lots of experience with grooming both cats and dogs!
About: With my vast experience of animals, I’ve handled pet sitting jobs from small and large dogs to Siamese cats to hamster care! Along with pet sitting, I have a great amount of experience volunteering in animals shelters and fostering dogs. My flexible schedule will allow me to tailor the best customized care according to you and your pet’s needs. My love for animals shines through in every interaction, and I can't wait to become your trusted pet sitter or dog walker! Feel free to message me with any questions! -Sam I do work a 9-5 schedule. My current availability ranges from Monday through Friday (mornings and evenings) with the availability of some weekends for pet setting! I do live in an apartment building so any potty breaks at my home will include a leashed walk near my building. We do have many grassy areas with a trail nearby as well.
About: I don’t have a ton of experience with cats if I’m being totally honest because we’ve always been a dog household. But I’ve had enough experience with them because of my grandparents always having a cat around which I would occasionally house sit for and take care of along with my childhood best friends house in which I would take care of for weeks at a time while they were out.
“Sara has been a blessing for my cat and I. My cat used to be very anxious when I come home due my work hours; however, since having Sara's drop-ins she is very calm, sweet and playful when I come home-!!. Sara is very sweet and has a calm demeanor. She follows the given instructions , responds to messages on time, send you awesome pictures and videos and you can tell she tries to take care of your pet like one of her own. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Lily did a great job with our cats! One of our cats responded to her as expected each visit, which was on camera... she engaged and played with him on each visit. Although Lily called out for our other cat, she (the cat) is much more aloof even to us and typically slept through Lily's visits. Cats were well cared for by Lily. Would definitely recommend her to others and will book her with other trips in the future. Thanks for taking great care of our cats Lily!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Walhain
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.
“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.”
“Shanna and her husband were awesome, they provided a calm atmosphere for our nervous girls and never tried to push them to do anything they didn’t want to do. Will definitely book again next time we’re in Green Bay!”

“Mackenzie was the absolute perfect dog sitter for our sweet Maverick! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. It was clear she loved and cared for him as if he were her own, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away at the Packers game. She kept us updated with pictures and made sure Maverick had everything he needed — including lots of love and snuggles! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and who truly loves animals. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy!”
“Shelby, her family and thier dogs welcomed Nala in on short notice and treated her like one of their own. This was our first experience leaving our puppy with a non-family member and we couldn’t be more happy. Shelby’s home is filled with love and we couldn’t have been more pleased with her care of Nala. We will definitely use Shelby again!”
“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.”
“Thank you for watching our two young basset hounds. We were able to go golfing on our door County vacation thanks to Julie. She sent regular photos and updates which I highly appreciated.”
“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.”
“Melissa was wonderful! Her family was incredibly sweet, and my dog had an amazing time. She came home happy, relaxed, and completely tuckered out. Melissa has a fenced-in backyard which made lots of outdoors time accessible and she sent photos and updates throughout the day so I knew how things were going. She was very communicative from the start and set up a meet-and-greet beforehand, which helped me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. It’s clear that she provides a safe, positive, and peaceful environment for the pets she watches. I would absolutely book with Melissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who recently retired, and I’m looking to fill my days with some extra puppy love. My pup, Cullen, and I are a duo that loves company. Since I’m home throughout the day, your dog will have constant supervision, plenty of backyard time, and all the belly rubs they can handle. We’re looking for friendly companions to join us for neighborhood strolls and afternoon naps. Your pup won’t just be "staying" here—they’ll be part of the family! Since I am retired, my schedule is completely dedicated to pet care. Your dog will enjoy 24/7 companionship and a consistent routine, as I am home full-time to provide potty breaks, backyard play, and plenty of cuddles. Cullen and I are very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and we look forward to a Meet & Greet to ensure a perfect match! We offer a fully fenced-in backyard featuring a beautiful koi pond. To ensure a safe and harmonious environment for everyone, I look for guest dogs who have a solid foundation in basic obedience and a 'gentle' temperament around water and wildlife. My own dog loves making new friends, and I prioritize active supervision to ensure all 'fur babies'—and my fish—stay happy and safe!
“I couldn’t have been happier with the care and attention Breanna gave to our pets. The whole process was so easy and Breanna was very accommodating. She sent pictures and messages to let me know how our babies were doing and allowed us to have a great day without worrying about our pets. She is a very sweet girl with an obvious love for animals. An overall outstanding experience; I would highly recommend her!!!”
About: I grew up with dogs around and found my soul mate dog in my early twenties. I rescued her from the humane association and we took classes on becoming a therapy dog. She passed too soon from an autoimmune disease about a year and a half ago. I miss having a dog to walk and spend time with. I hope to have a chance to spend time with yours! I work a very flexible hybrid schedule close to home. I am traditionally in the office Wednesday through Friday. My work days can be between 8am and 5pm. I have a fully fenced in backyard with area to roam. I have dog beds, a crate, and toys. I will treat your pet like my own and provide them with support, encouragement, and care!
“Olivia had great communication and flexibility with drop off and pick up times. My dogs were very happy and pooped out from playing all day. I most certainly would have Olivia take care of Daisy and Theo again.”
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.
About: I grew up 5 pets at home. My mom has worked for rover for 5 years, I’ve helped her growing up. I also love animals so much! I am a college athlete here at Green Bay. I live here over the summer to train with my team. I love animals and I can’t wait to meet yours 💛 Growing up with 5 animals at home, it was always a packed house and we made sure they all got time outside and some 101 time!
About: I’ve been around dogs, cats and other pets my whole life. I grew up on a hobby farm and have over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all ages—from kittens and puppies to seniors. I currently have two dogs of my own and know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Since I work from home, I’m able to be flexible and give your pet the attention they deserve, whether that’s regular walks, check-ins, or just some extra company during the day. I’m also a clear communicator and will always keep you in the loop while you're away. Looking forward to getting to know your pet! I work from home, so I am flexible about what time of day I can drop in on your pets. I can also bring my computer and work from your home if needed. Weekend availability varies but I keep my schedule up to date on Rover. I take care of pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment. I'll follow the routine you provide—whether it’s feeding, walks, or medication—and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, double-check doors and gates, and always keep you updated with how things are going. Whether it’s a drop-in, walk, or overnight stay, you can count on reliable care and clear communication.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Walhain
About: I’ve been around all types of dogs for about 7 years, I currently have a 1 year old Rottweiler I’ve had since he was 4 months and trained him since. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine as it aligns perfectly with my love for animals and my organized schedule. Each day, I dedicate specific times for feeding, walking, and playing with the pets in my care. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. My home is pet-proofed to prevent accidents, with secure areas for different activities like play, rest, and meals. I ensure all pets have their own comfortable space and provide them with toys and enrichment activities to keep them engaged. Hygiene is crucial, so I maintain a clean environment, regularly sanitizing feeding areas and bedding. Regardless of the setting, my focus is on providing reliable, compassionate care that ensures the well-being and happiness of the pets entrusted to me.
About: Hi, I'm Melissa! I grew up surrounded by pets, and that passion grew into a lifelong career in animal care. I bring over a decade of professional facility experience to Rover, including serving as a Pack Leader at Tailwaggers Doggy Daycare and spending seven years as a specialized Caregiver at the world-renowned Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. There, I worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and behavioral needs, including dog-selective and dog-aggressive behaviors. Currently, I keep my skills sharp working part-time as a Kennel Technician at a daycare and boarding facility right here in Green Bay. Because of my professional background, I’m highly experienced with administering medications, recognizing subtle body language, and reinforcing basic training. I know how important routine is, so I am more than happy to strictly follow whatever household rules you have set for your pet. Whether your furbaby is a social butterfly or a quiet soul who needs a patient, gentle approach, I have the intuitive skills to make them feel safe and loved. When I’m not caring for your pets, I’m hanging out with my own senior "puppy," a 9-year-old dog named Alba (pictured with me!), and my 14-year-old "kitten." I love house-sitting, overnight stays, and dog walking, and my ultimate goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're away. I can’t wait to meet your furbabies! My part-time schedule as a local kennel technician makes me incredibly flexible for pet sitting! I work from 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM – 6:30 PM (about 25 hours a week), which leaves my entire midday window from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM wide open for lunchtime walks, playtime, and companionship. I am also available for quick check-ins before my morning shift, and my evenings are completely free after 6:30 PM for late-night cuddles and dedicated overnight stays. Because my daily job already centers around professional feeding, medicating, and cleaning, keeping your pet's routine seamless and sanitary between my shifts is second nature to me! My goal is to keep your pets in their happiest, most comfortable element, which is why I specialize in caring for them right in their own home! With over a decade of professional animal facility experience and a huge heart for all creatures, I pride myself on being the next best thing to you when you’re away. I am fully backed by Rover and prioritize open, consistent communication—sending you regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they are in safe hands. As a major bonus, I am an exceptionally tidy person who genuinely enjoys cleaning. My past clients have always loved coming home to happy, healthy, stress-free pets and a thoroughly clean, respected house! 🧽🐾

About: I have 2 dogs and love talking them on walks during the week. I’ve also volunteered at the humane society helping to care for the animals. I work part time at Kwik Trip during the week from 9 am until 12 pm so I’m available to walk dogs anytime after 12 pm during the week. I don’t work on the weekend but anytime after 12 pm works best for me to walk dogs on the weekend. I have 2 dogs and they love other dogs. There’s a dog park in Green Bay that I visit and a trail in Green Bay that I love walking my dogs on.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets for a couple of years. I have dog sat for many different kinds of dogs and have also taken care of cats before. I enjoy dog walking as well. I have two dogs at home and love playing with them and getting their energy out. I currently am in school full time and have a part time job, but am looking to be able to care for pets or provide other services in my free time. I will be out of the green bay area mondays and tuesdays for school, but am around most of the week otherwise! I will make sure that the animals are comfortable and get the best care that they can. I will crate them when needed or can help in whatever ways needed!
“Finley enjoys continuity of having Katherine or Liam to take him for walks. Finley’s parents want honest, trustworthy and kind humans to care for their dog when away at work. Katherine and Liam are those people!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have two dogs and three cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple pets, different temperaments, and busy routines. I also work full-time as a nurse, which means I’m highly dependable, detail-oriented, and trained to stay calm in any situation. I’m experienced with administering medications, following specific care instructions, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. Whether your pet needs a reliable walk, drop-in visit, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like my own—safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m currently off for the summer (I work as a school nurse during the year), so I have very open availability for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. During the school year, I still offer consistent morning, evening, and weekend availability, making me a great fit for ongoing or repeat care needs. Your pet will be treated like part of the family in my home! I have a full, happy pack of my own—3 cats and 2 dogs—who all get along wonderfully and love to play. Because of that, I’m very experienced in managing a multi-pet household and making sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and included. My home is stocked with plenty of toys, cozy spots for relaxing, and all the pet supplies needed to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer a quieter space to unwind. You can expect lots of supervised playtime, affection, and a clean, pet-friendly environment. I treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure they get the care, attention, and love they deserve while you’re away.
About: I've had dogs my entire life they've always been more like siblings to me than pets. Right now I have an Australian Shepherd and a German Shepard, I love them very much but now that I've moved out of my parents house I don't see them every single day and im missing some pet love!!

About: I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember. From a resident shitzu to our now pitbull and golden doodle. My family has been fostering dogs for the past 5/6 years and I’ve seen it all, from special medications to behavioral issues and major anxiety in dogs. Theres no dog or pet that scares me away. With all the fostering I’ve done I have a lot of experience in training and taking care of special needs dogs (I’m also in college studying psychology!). I’m also well versed in giving medications to dogs with most of our fosters needing to get spayed or neutered. Theres no pet I can’t handle. I work as a manager at an adventure park (Champion Valley) so my schedule is mostly on weekends with a few days throughout the week. I’m free almost every morning and night with an occasional shift during the afternoon, I can make almost any time work except weekends during the day but I’m usually off by 7 for late night visits. I’ve house sat for many family friends along with taking care of their pets from cats and dogs to lizards and guinea pigs. I have a ton of experience with crating dogs and making sure they won’t tear up your house. My Mom works for rover and I’ve learned a lot from her with a few visits I’ve gone on with her.
About: I’ve had animals since I was born. Once I moved out of my parents, I instantly got animals of my own. I went to Texas last year to get my puppy, Chase. He’s now a year old pit bull terrier mix who now knows how to speak on command, back up, and many more tricks! I also have an Australian cattle dog that I’ve trained the legendary “bang” trick with a follow up of her playing dead. I occasionally am busy in the mornings until 2pm, just check in with me and I’ll let you know if I can make it or not! I currently live in a house with 2 dogs and 2 cats. They all get along perfectly and we go to a fenced in dog park regularly to get lots of play time. (It’s usually just us there)

About: I have volunteered at my local humane society for over a decade and have been involved in animal rescue since college. I am a pet mama to 3 rescue dogs and a Siamese cat. I have also worked with dogs who have physical disabilities and medical conditions. I am on a semester-long sabbatical from my academic position and now have a very flexible schedule from January-August 2022. I will be unavailable Monday afternoons and all-day Tuesdays. I am used to long walks with my dogs and enjoy working with a range of personalities, particularly the shy dogs. My dogs are used to being crated at night and I am comfortable leashing up, harnessing, and crating dogs.
“I would recommend Kayla to anyone seeking a kind and caring dog sitter. I had a cancelation the evening before an important medical appointment. On short notice Kayla was willing to help and the photos she sent assured me that my little Buddy was in good hands and happy. She definitely will be my first choice when I need a sitter.”
“Allison is amazing! We have a very shy, very large, very old dog - we had a couple meet and greets with Allison to introduce the shy pup, and she really took the time to get to know both us and the pup. Long story short, she’s all around awesome and we’re looking forward to having her help in the future ?”

“Melissa did an amazing job! I would recommend her to anyone! My pup was well taken care of and loved the whole time she was there! Our dog has never been watched out of her home so for her first time ever going somewhere like this Melissa made my dog feel right at home and part of the family!”
“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!”
“This was our first time leaving Osito overnight anywhere outside our home and we left him for 7 nights. Shanna was amazing making Osito feel comfortable. Osito had a chance to interact with other dogs as well (something he previously had not had much experience with) and we got pictures daily of how he was doing. It was great peace of mind knowing that even though we missed him he was having a little vacation of his own. We will definitely be booking with Shanna again when the time comes.”
“Heather gave frequent updates and pictures to ease my mind that our dog was well taken care of and also having fun. She was great in communicating pick up and drop off and offered a lot of flexibility. Thank you Heather!!!”
“Melissa was fabulous with Bear! This was our first time using Rover and we loved our experience! She sent pictures and kept us informed and was very transparent. Definitely recommend.”
“Our one year old Bernese mountain dog, Maize, spent four nights with Jeff. She is curious, loves to be outside and check out new smells. His yard was perfect for her! Jeff was perfect for her. He took her on walks and gave her plenty of time to explore his backyard. Maizie was exhausted and slept the whole afternoon when we brought her home. I'm sure she was dreaming about her new friend. Super Experience! We already have another time booked.”
“Great set up with the yard...friendly dogs...and Tara and her husband were very communicative. Dealing with them made you feel like they really cared and it wasn't just a job. Definitely recommend!”
“Oreo and Sky were well taken care of. We received photos every day. Given that Oreo is almost 15 it is important for us to use an at home person. Sky being a puppy can be a bit crazy so she needs outside time. Thank you.”
“Sara was awesome! Got pics and updates and so understanding when our plane was delayed! The dogs had a nice fenced in backyard to play abs got lots of love♥️ We absolutely love her and will use her again.”
“Denise is very friendly! She invited us over for a “meet and greet” before we booked and that was super helpful. She kept us up to date with texts and pictures while we were away. Marlo was well taken care of care of, and it was so nice to travel “worry free”. We’d highly recommend and will definitely book again! Thank you so much!”
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.
“We loved working with Kimberly. She watched our dog for the first time and suggested a meet and greet to make sure she was a good fit with her own dog. We loved that and it made us trust her from the start. When we met her, Kimberly asked us many questions about our dog that made us feel like she would take very good care of her. Also, Kimberly’s home is quite literally the perfect set up for dogs. We know that our dog loved staying there and we enjoyed the updates Kimberly sent us throughout her stay. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Kristin gave regular updates with pics and vids which set our mind at ease that all was well with our pets. I really get a sense that she cared for them like they were her own. Highly recommend”
“Shelby was great. Without hesitation, she was more than willing to accommodate our goldendoodle with his daily medication schedule. She provided frequent updates while we were away and made is away of any possible concerns.”
“Anu and her family are amazing! The care and attention of our little one’s needs are priceless. From the booking to the stay we have been thrilled with Anu’s communication and knowledge of how to make our dog feel comfortable and happy. So glad we found Anu!!!”
“Nala and Simba stayed over night at Megan’s place. They sent many pictures and made sure our puppies were taken care of. When we picked them up they could hardly keep their eyes open on the ride home. They were tired, happy pups!”
“Holly is wonderful. It’s very obvious that she LOVES dogs-she has 3 of her own that are treated like kings/queens. Our Louie even slept with her daughter in her bed overnight! This means a lot because Lou is a very anxious pup! Highly highly recommend! ? ~Amy Craig”
