“Jennifer was fantastic. Onyx seemed like he had a good time and I knew he was well taken care of. She sent pictures and let me know how he was doing throughout the Stay. Would highly recommend.”
“My dog absolutely loves Kandice. She was amazing. She’s had my dog for boarding for 3 weeks and I’ve been able to pick my dog up and play with her and drop her back off after. Very accommodating and loves and cares for my dog like her own!”
“Maria and Nayibe took great care of my 4 month old puppy for an entire week over Christmas! They went out of their way to replace a food item I had forgot to bring along. I really appreciated the updates, pictures and communication. They went above and beyond for my little one. Would definitely use them again and recommend to others!”
“Kortney was outstanding with our Belgian Malinois and our Border Collie! The dogs felt right at home, and she made sure we were comfortable as well! Highly recommend!”
“Jamie and her family took such good care of Rusty! It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family and they updated us with pictures and messages throughout our vacation. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog Tucker with anyone besides family when we went on vacation & we couldn’t have picked anyone better! We received so many nice pictures, videos & messages about all the fun Tucker was having & really put us at ease about going away for a week. Thank you so much Mary & Brian for treating Tucker just like one of your own doggies. We appreciate everything you did!”
“Kylie took care of our Penny (dachshund) for a long stay while we were on vacation. After meeting her, we felt very comfortable leaving her for such an extended period of time. We felt confident that she would be well cared for and she was! Kylie was flexible and caring during her stay and took great care of Penny, even when her new food gave her tummy trouble...we so appreciated it! We would not hesitate to book again with Kylie in the future!”
“Scott, Ashley and family take such good care of our 92 lb. Weimaraner, Hank. He has a lot of energy and always does well when with the family. He gets at least 2 walks a day in addition to play time in their large fenced in yard. Hank recently stayed with the family for 25 days which is the longest we’ve left him with any sitter. Everything went very well. Scott is great about sending pictures and updates daily.”
“We are so very grateful for Marie. She welcomed our doggy into her house with all the love and attention we could hope for. We were blessed with photos while we were traveling which gave us comfort and made us smile. Our dog came back to us, happy, healthy, clean, and comfortable, which was perfect. Thank you again, Marie.”

“5 stars!! ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 💫 ⭐️ Jessica is amazing! She graciously dealt with our uncertain and hetic schedules. She went over and above, driving to my home to pick my dog up. Even when he was initially bashful/scared, she waited and took extra time. Gave him extra love and care, car rides, treats, and nap time together. I felt he was safe, content, and at ease while in Jessica’s home. We will definitely be hiring her again!!”
“Great communication from initial contact until pick up. Appreciated the daily updates and pictures. Biscuit had a great "staycation" over the weekend. We will use Anna for our dog sitting needs again.”

About: We recently moved back to our roots to a spot right off South St. In Oconomowoc. We had our dog sitting business in San Diego, CA and will miss our furry friends so much! My husband and I both love animals very much and have the perfect set-up to host. We enjoy morning and evening cuddles and allow dogs on the couch and bed :) We will take care of your pup just the same as we care for our own. We have a 4 year old mutt that we adopted 3 years ago who has brought so much joy to our life! She loves to play and enjoys the dog park/hanging around other dogs as much as she can. She loves walks around the lake as I am sure your pup will too! We both have experience taking care of other dogs and have dog sit for many of our friends and family members for extended periods of time when they are out of town. We can provide pictures as little or as often as you would like. Excited to meet your furry friend soon! I currently work 4 days of the week and have every Thursday off. My husband works remotely from home so he is able to tend to your pups needs all day. This schedule works great for our pups that need frequent potty breaks and attention. We have long leashes attached to our back deck so the dogs can enjoy the sun and being outdoors as much or as little as they would like without having to worry about them wandering off! Moxie loves basking in the sun and shade out there as I am sure yours would too! Water bowls always provided and refreshed as needed.
“Cindy Is the ideal cat sitter. I wanted to not have to worry about Baby Bear having a clean litter box and eating his wet and dry food. Cindy was there for him and he’s happy! That’s what a great pet sitter does.”
About: Growing up I always had animals (dogs, hamsters, a guinea pig, a turtle, a cat, sugar gliders) and can’t imagine my life without animals. I adopted my pup right out of college, I know that sometimes it takes a village raising & caring for pets! I love dogs of all breeds, shapes & sizes ❤️ I have dog &cat sat for family members & love doing so! I’m happiest around animals. I’ve walked, played, fed, bathed, and have given medicine to dogs and am comfortable doing so. I promise to send cute pics of them too! I work very part time in the summers which gives me plenty of availability to stop by and love, play with, and/or walk your pet!! I will ensure your pet has food/water, is left where you’d want them (in a certain room, crate, etc), and any other specifics you need or want before I leave! Growing up around animals and having 2 rescues myself I understand that some animals need extra time to warm up &/or certain things (covered crate, routine, medicine, etc.) to help them feel safe and comfortable. I will work with you and try my best to ensure that your pet has whatever he/she needs to feel safe and comfortable!
About: Hi! My name is Marinda and I chose to be apart of Rover because I have always loved animals. I serve as a manager at a local veterinary hospital and have years of experience when it comes to dog watching. I’m hoping this is an opportunity I’ll be able to take care of others dogs! I have always enjoyed all types of dogs and seem to get along with them all as well. Hope to be able to be apart of your pets life! I am a full time employee who would love to have a second job but doesn’t have the time for it, so, I fill in my easy days with Rover! It’s easy to manage with my own hours! First and foremost I read about the pet and what the owners have to say about them. This will give me a good idea for what I am getting into when I enter the owners house. I will already know how the dogs are going to act and I will be prepared. I never leave the doors unlocked/open unless advised by the owner. I will do exactly what the owner has said to do. I will always double check a dog is secured with their leash when going outside, I will also be aware of the weather and how that might switch the dogs needs when going outside.
About: To be completely honest, I was afraid of dogs when I was a child. But since my family got our puppy in 2015, my love of dogs has skyrocketed. Now when I see a dog, I have this intuition to pet them, with permission of course. So with my care, there will always be love in the air! A little fun fact about me is that I love to go for walks. So watch out furry friends, the feeling of being worn out is coming your way! I am a full-time student, however, I do have time during the day on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays to hang around with your furry friends! My time range is from 11-3:30. Or perhaps you’re stuck at work late in the night, and your dog or cat has been crossing their legs to use the bathroom, and I am more than welcome to stop by and take them outside any night of the week (after 6 pm)! Just like people, your animal should have food, water, and exercise. I will take your dogs and/or cats on walks and make sure their dishes are filled with water. And give them lots of pets as well, because what animal doesn’t like a little love?
“Luke is awesome! I would highly recommend him! We have two dogs, one with special needs (she is 2 yrs old and completely blind). He is prompt to respond, communicates well, shares pictures from his visits and takes great care of both of them! Super happy we found him to help us out!”
“We’ve always used family members to look after our fur babies, but this time they came on vacation with us, and we were left with no one to look after Riley and Murphy. Thank goodness we found Susan – she was absolutely terrific! Right off the bat when we first met Susan, we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pets. During the time away Susan sent us text messages and photos which really put our minds at ease. Our one cat, Murphy, is very timid and doesn’t usually come out while strangers are around. Susan was concerned when he wouldn’t come out for dinner. I reassured her that he would come out when he got hungry. I ratted Murphy’s hiding spot out, and she was able to feed him there the next day. I had to laugh when I received the text that she was “quite determined to make friends with Murphy.” By the end of the week Murphy was coming out for dinner and even let Susan pet him! I knew she would win him over 😊 We would not hesitate to use Susan again to look after not only our kitties but our home. We cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you, Susan! Brian, Lorrie (Riley & Murphy)”

About: Welcome to your furry friends pawcation retreat in Eagle, WI. Pet sitting, grooming and showing dogs is my full time passion (can't say job because I love what I do) not just extra income. I take every furry guest seriously and treat them like my own. My home is a retreat for your dog to feel comfortable, safe, relaxed all while enjoying the joys of being in a dog friendly home. I have been caring and showing dogs for over 30 years. My home has a large 6’ high fenced in area with doggie windows for potty breaks. I always go outside with them to supervise as it's just the routine that I do with my own dogs. I only cater to a few dogs at a time and that allows more attention for our furry friends. They can hang out with our resident Field Spaniel furkids, Starlet, Russell, KC and Trixie. Some dogs are quick to play and explore, while some dogs are shy and require more attention. I love all dogs and adapt my approach to your dog’s personality. If you see I am not available for certain dates, but still want service if I can rearrange I try to accommodate. In some examples of accommodation it has turned from pet sitting needs in the sitters home into me traveling to your house instead. ~~~ Check out my review stay photos to have a glimpse of the spoiling that your dog(s) will receive in my care. ~~~ In addition, I match the activities to each furry guest while they are boarding and that includes pets with special needs. Each day or overnights may include dog walks, car rides, playing fetch and simply being a house dog lounging on the couch. Additional services offered include pampering in the doggie spa or focusing on dog training sessions. Think of our home as a pet friendly home for pet sitting and dog grooming. We want all the dogs to feel as if they are home while you are away having fun. Dogs that work well in my home: I do not accept high energy dogs or dogs that are too large to handle. I prefer dogs that are calmer and dogs that can be left loose and do not mark on furniture. Please be honest when making a doggie overnight reservation. I understand dog behavior and know what works well with my own dogs. About my yard: 6’ high fenced yard with doggie windows for the dogs to see outside the yard. (Please note some of the photos seen are from an older house and not my newer resident in Eagle, Wi) Why I love dog sitting: I have been caring for dogs for over 30 years. My house and energy is very calming. My house is a retreat for dogs while the parents are away on vacations. I look forward to having your furkid(s) stay with me soon! Sincerely, Kylie I currently stay at home full time and can dedicate all my time as needed to our furry guests. They are my number one focus! Typical day can be waking up early (between 4am and 6am to let out and feed), all the fun stuff in between and bedtime is around 8pm due to my significant others schedule. 6’ high fenced yard with doggie windows for the dogs to see outside the yard. In addition, I have a safety plan in place because the dogs come first before my needs.
About: I love animals and would love to give you the peace of mind while you are gone. My husband and I understand the importance of finding the right Rover sitter. We both grew up with large breed dogs but I have also had toy breeds. I currently am a stay at home mom and will rarely need to be gone from home for very long. Your pet is my priority while they are in my care and I look forward to spending time with them. The way that I would care for your pets is how I would my pets. They could possibly get better treatment than mine at home… but don’t tell my dog that!
“Kristin took great care of Ace the 2 days he stayed there. She tries to make him comfortable even though he was suffering from separation anxiety. She sent photos both days. Thank you.”
“We had a last minute booking that they were able to accommodate. Great communication before and during stay. We loved getting pics and video, too! Boone well loved and comfortable during his stay. Came home a very happy guy.”
“I dropped off Moose (5 yr border collie mix) for the first time for daycare and to my surprise, he had separation anxiety issues (sitting by the door, whining). Madison was so kind and patient. I received texts updating me how he was doing. Eventually...success! I got a picture of Moose laying next to Madison on the couch looking calm and content. This was a good experience all around. Thank you!”
“Couldn't have asked for a more pleasant experience! Maria & Nayibe were so friendly and took amazing care of my puppy. Additionally they accommodated my daycare request on short notice. I highly recommend them and will definitely utilize their services again in the future :)”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I love to walk and play with them and also have snuggle time if they like that. My schedule is flexible to accommodate their needs! I have not done injections but am willing to do if trained I’m retired so I have plenty of time to care for your pet in my home or come to your home for check-ins and walks. I have a fenced yard and am close to a local state park for long walks. I also live in a very walkable subdivision. I don’t mind a well behaved pet on furniture.
About: I grew up on a farm and have always had and cared for animals. Im also an puppy and advanced obedience trainer. I breed and whelp litters and also offer training lessons or programs. Im also a certified Canine Good Citizen Evaluater. Im a dog trainer with pets of my own. Both my training and boarding pups live life with me and my babes and are cared for just the same. I have an open back yard with plenty of room to move around. I also have steamed out tie outs for those who arent as confident with their recall.
About: I have always had a dog growing up, so I learned from a very young age how to care for a pet. Friends and family have trusted me to take care of their dogs since I was around 12 years old. This includes stopping in the house to take them to the bathroom and feeding them, as well as giving medication if needed. Lots of snuggles and playtime too of course! I have taken care of dogs in the client's home for up to a week and cared for them at my home as well. No need to worry about any complex feeding schedules. I can manage it all. I am very comfortable with any age, breed, and sized dog! I have a one-year-old pup, so I am very familiar with training and puppy classes. I have volunteered at the humane society and when I was in high school, I job shadowed at a veterinary clinic. I currently work as a substitute teacher so my schedule is extremely flexible! During the summer months I am completely open. Weekdays and weekends any time of day. I make my own schedule so there will be no conflicts. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for some off leash playtime! My dog loves to run around playing fetch with a ball or stick. I have a walking path across the street from my home and am walking distance to nature hill for some extra exercise. I always have water, waste bags and small treats with me when going on walks. (My dogs personal favorites are cheerios). I am comfortable walking with any leash, collar or harness. I have two kennels in my living room if your dog needs to be crated. At least one crate is big enough to fit a large or XL dog. I have a baby gate in front of my stairs, and the basement door is always shut. I personally love going to the pet store or drive thru to get my pet a pup cup! I would be more than happy to take your dog for an adventure and for some extra love and enrichment!
About: Hello! My family and I love animals. We've been on Rover since January 2024! We currently have 2 indor cats and have backyard chickens (in coop) that are pets and lay eggs for us. We live in a quiet Hartland neighborhood in a cul-de-sac that is very low traffic. Part of our yard is fenced for play and potty breaks, and I love taking walks around our neighborhood. The majority of the week, my husband is working from home or I am home. The longest your pet may be left is 6 hours if staying with us during the work week. So usually someone is there to spend time with your pet! We are available any day of the week for boarding. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac. I always practice sit-stay when opening the door to prevent bolting out. Part of our yard is fenced and outside the fence your pet will always be leashed. If I am away for a short period and it's needed for safety or per your preference, we do have a large crate and an enclosed pet gate.
“Molly takes the best care of my pup! She provides updates and gives him so much attention, he always comes home exhausted! She is excellent and I highly recommend for anyone needing boarding or daycare!”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with our little sweet pup. He had a walk, breaks, fun with his ball. Heather was extremely accommodating and flexible. Once you meet her, she outs you at immediate ease. Will happily use her again!”
About: I am an animal lover and will take great care of your pet. I have experience owning dogs and currently own a 5 year old Doberman Pinscher named Moon. I am extremely active and love to take dogs on walks, to the park to play and outside to get fresh air. Having experience volunteering at the humane society, I am aware of different pet personalities and cautious of their well-being and comfort. I will honor the owner's rules and routines in order to make the experience positive for all parties involved. I live in an area great for walking dogs and running them with toys. If the pet needs extra attention or additional exercise, I will be able to accommodate with my flexible work schedule. Thanks!
About: I have cared for animals my entire life and truly believe they are part of the family. Over the years, I’ve had hands-on experience with many different types of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, horses, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, amphibians, and more. Animals are my passion, and caring for them genuinely brings me joy. Whether it’s providing companionship, playtime, feeding, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I would give my own pets. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for by someone who is experienced, attentive, and truly loves animals. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I prioritize making sure animals receive attentive and reliable care. I am currently available during the day, which allows me to be flexible and attentive to your pet’s needs. On weekdays, I do drop off and pick up my two children from school (ages 8 and 10), but outside of those short times my schedule is very open. This allows me to provide consistent care, visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship for your pets. Because I structure my day around the animals I’m caring for, you can feel confident that your pet will receive dependable attention and thoughtful care while you’re away. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets, whether they are in my home or their own familiar environment. My home sits on nearly one acre with an unfenced yard, which allows for plenty of outdoor play and exercise. Dogs can enjoy time outside on leash, and off-leash play can be discussed depending on the dog’s training and owner preferences. Inside my home, my own pets have separate spaces, which allows visiting animals to be safely and comfortably separated if needed. This helps ensure a calm and secure environment for everyone. I am also happy to care for pets in their own homes. I am very respectful of clients’ homes and always follow instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s normal routine. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive care including feeding, playtime, companionship, exercise, and administering medications if needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away.

“I had to change the date last minute and Tara was extremely understanding and responded to the new date within minutes. She’s arrived early to meet Jax and stayed later to play with him. I appreciated the extra time she spent with him and he didn’t want her to leave”
About: I’ve watched cats and dogs in various sizes from 5 pounds to 200! I know how to train puppies and I’m ready to put in any work needed to make every animal my best friend and give them the care and attention they deserve! I’m currently only working part time on weekends so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I’m ready to walk, play, cuddle and take care of your best buds! I always respect others homes and try to leave everything as it was. Animals are so comfortable in their home and I always want to keep that and make sure they are happy and safe!
About: I've lived with animals my entire life. Growing up, we had five dogs, four cats, bunnies and guinea pigs, snakes and lizards, fish, and chickens. Currently, while living at home in the summers, we have snakes, lizards, spiders, a cat, and three dogs, one of which is mine. My dog Winston is a service dog in training that my mom and I are owner-training. While I'm in no way a professional trainer, I can help with teaching or maintaining the basics with any dog. I'm currently home for the summer from school and waiting on an application for a part-time job. I am free most of the day right now, as I haven't started working yet. So, I can come over and take care of any pet's needs most any time. I can take care of your animals' needs any time, whether it's taking them on a walk, letting them outside, feeding, cleaning up, or playing with them. My dogs at home are crate trained, so if your dog also stays in a crate at certain points of the day or night, I can easily crate them.
“Ava continues to be amazing with our dog! He’s had some health issues, and she’s been super patient and gentile with him as well as patient with us through quite a few schedule changes due to vet visits.”

I personally love going to the pet store or drive thru to get my pet a pup cup! I would be more than happy to take your dog for an adventure and for some extra love and enrichment!

“Once again Katie and DJ have taken excellent care of my special needs pup. He is so happy to go to their house, he doesn’t even care that I am leaving. LOL 😂 seriously amazing family that love the animals they care for.”
“Jennifer was fantastic. Onyx seemed like he had a good time and I knew he was well taken care of. She sent pictures and let me know how he was doing throughout the Stay. Would highly recommend.”
“My dog absolutely loves Kandice. She was amazing. She’s had my dog for boarding for 3 weeks and I’ve been able to pick my dog up and play with her and drop her back off after. Very accommodating and loves and cares for my dog like her own!”
“Kortney was outstanding with our Belgian Malinois and our Border Collie! The dogs felt right at home, and she made sure we were comfortable as well! Highly recommend!”
“Jamie and her family took such good care of Rusty! It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family and they updated us with pictures and messages throughout our vacation. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!”
“Sommer and her family took amazing care of our dog Butter! She came home very happy and tired from all the fun. This was the longest we’ve left her and we felt at ease the whole time with Sommer’s daily pictures. We definitely recommend Sommer and will use her in the future!”
“Kylie took care of our Penny (dachshund) for a long stay while we were on vacation. After meeting her, we felt very comfortable leaving her for such an extended period of time. We felt confident that she would be well cared for and she was! Kylie was flexible and caring during her stay and took great care of Penny, even when her new food gave her tummy trouble...we so appreciated it! We would not hesitate to book again with Kylie in the future!”
“Scott, Ashley and family take such good care of our 92 lb. Weimaraner, Hank. He has a lot of energy and always does well when with the family. He gets at least 2 walks a day in addition to play time in their large fenced in yard. Hank recently stayed with the family for 25 days which is the longest we’ve left him with any sitter. Everything went very well. Scott is great about sending pictures and updates daily.”
“We are so very grateful for Marie. She welcomed our doggy into her house with all the love and attention we could hope for. We were blessed with photos while we were traveling which gave us comfort and made us smile. Our dog came back to us, happy, healthy, clean, and comfortable, which was perfect. Thank you again, Marie.”
“I feel really comfortable leaving my pup with Joanne. She sent me pictures and updates on Ginger every day - they made me smile! Was wonderful to know my pup was being loved and so well cared for while I was away! Thank you, Joanne!”
“We left our Simba with Savannah for a weekend & it went great ! He enjoyed playing with her dogs & we could definitely tell that he wasn’t so worked up to come home (we have tried boarding locations in the past & he is very eager to get out of there asap & has never truly enjoyed that type of environment). We are very happy that we found Savannah to care for him ! The communication was great & and we are just happy that Simba had a safe/fun experience. We will definitely be booking again in the near future.”
“Christina was great with communication as and took very good care of my dog. Super generous with photos and dog came back home happy. Thank you Christina .. sorry for the delayed review. 😊”
“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”
“Dana is wonderful! She takes good care of Hunter and sends pictures/ videos often. We really appreciate all the attention she gives him, and she is also super flexible. Thanks again, Dana! We appreciate you!😊”
“Cheryl was great with our dog Ellie and our cats! You could tell she really cared about our animals and took the stress of leaving them alone off of our plates. We will book with her again!”
“My dog was apparently incredibly bad with Lauren (NOT HER WORDS. She was very sweet about telling me about his behaviors). Not because of her, but because of it being his first time being away from us and not knowing what to expect. She was patient and communicative with us. She sent a ton of pictures and videos and talked through any problems that's arose. I would definitely work with Lauren in the future.”
“Great communication from initial contact until pick up. Appreciated the daily updates and pictures. Biscuit had a great "staycation" over the weekend. We will use Anna for our dog sitting needs again.”
“Would definitely recommend Amanda as a sitter! Easy communication, easy to book, I appreciated the couple check ins during my dog’s stay! My dog came back looking well taken care of, happy, and tired from her exercise! Will definitely be using Amanda again!”
