“Bobbi was a fabulous sitter to my dog Duke. She’s caring, responsive and connected with us often while watching Duke. Her yard is a playground for all pups. Truly grateful to have found her! One of my best experiences with Rover!”
“Emily and her family took great care of my pup! She send lots of pictures and I truly felt like she cared for my dog as her own. Her house was clean and inviting and she was easy to communicate with. I would book with her again!”
“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!!”
“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.”
“This was our dogs second stay with Erika and we will be back again. Flexible pick up and drop off. Clean kennels and she sends video check ins of the dogs. Highly recommend.”
“Melissa and her mother were very welcoming and accommodating for our stay with them. Due to a change in plans on my part, she allowed me to pick up my dog earlier than arranged which was very nice. They notified me of my dog's progress and sent pictures of her stay.”
“Shanna was incredible! She took care of our boy somewhat last minute + he honestly had more fun than he would have with us :) If we’re ever in town again, we would gladly leave Zeb in Shanna’s care.”
“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.”
“Jeffrey was amazing with communication from the start of booking all the way to the end of the trip. He truly eased my fears of leaving my dog for the first time ever. He took her on walks and just gave her so much love and TLC. He gave daily updates on my dog and even sent pictures. Eased my heart for sure. He was truly amazing with my dog Belle and I will definitely be using him in the future.”
“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!!!”
“Maria’s house was perfect for my dog Tasha because Tasha HATES other animals and Maria doesn’t have any pets. Tasha was pampered, and Maria sent me some really adorable pictures of her while I was out of town. Then, when my plane was extremely delayed on my way home, Maria stayed up to past midnight so I could pick Tasha up before heading home. I was so appreciative. 10 stars!”
“Denise and her whole family are fantastic!! Our dog Miley loved her stay. I highly recommend Denise to anyone who is looking for a kind and compassionate dog sitter!!”
“Mackenzie did a great job making us feel at ease leaving our dog with her while we were in town for a packers game. Our dog was so excited when he met her he hardly said goodbye to us and was in a great mood when we picked him up the next day. Mackenzie was great with communication and sending photos and updates.”
“Rebecca was incredibly flexible and accommodating. Weather caused chaos in our return plans and she waited up until 12:30am for us to pick up our dogs. Last time we traveled we kenneled our dogs and they came back stressed which lasted a week. This time they obviously had played hard as they were tired the first morning, but were right back themselves!”
“Zoe love, love, loves going to Bobbie and Clark's, She fits right in with their dogs, huskies, and their family loves on her. I can't say enough how much she enjoys her time at their home.”
“Jessica & Chase were excellent dog sitters for my Coco. I got pictures and updates each day. They showed so much care and concern for Coco. I will definitely be using them again!”
“This is the second time my best buddy stayed with Kelly. I can’t recommend them more highly. Everything is just super easy and it felt like they genuinely wanted to treat my guy like a member of the family. While on vacation, it was so great seeing daily pics and updates. He got cuddles and play, came back tired but that’s great. Again, I would give 10 stars if it was possible.”

About: Cats have always been my favorite animals, despite working with just about every domestic animal. Grumpy cats (my personal favorite- I love a challenge!), playful kittens, Velcro cats, they’re all so fun to interact with. I’ve grown up taking care of cats, and have an almost annoying amount of knowledge about them. I am experienced in medicating especially difficult cats, and I can trim nails as well!
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.
About: Any aged cat will always be a "kitten" to me! I grew up surrounded by felines, including caring for a beloved diabetic cat, so I am highly experienced with accurate medication scheduling and pilling. More than anything, I understand that cats are all about consent. I know how to read their body language, respect their boundaries, and let them set the pace for affection. Whether your kitty needs a patient pal to sit quietly nearby, a gentle playmate, or precise medical care, I am ready to be your purr-fectly reliable helper!
About: I used to have cats and have raised kittens, but I can no longer have cats of my own because my husband is allergic. I miss having and will enjoy being around them when I sit for yours.
“Thank you so much for everything you did to help with Colby! Jeanne stepped up beyond our original agreement when we had flight cancelation issues that meant we were 2 days late getting home. It was such a relief knowing that our cat was well cared for and had great rapport with her.”
About: I have two of my own cats, so I understand their temperaments and how to read their body language. I have been a life long cat lover and have learned everything there is to know about them. You could say cats are my specialty.
“Leanna was great! So friendly and easy to work with. This is our first time using Rover and she made us feel comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care. Definitely will use Leanna again and recommend anyone looking for some to care for their pets choose Leanna as well.”
“Melissa did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She was timely, sent updates and gave them plenty of attention. Would definitely book again with her!”
“Jenna did great and was very flexible. She even got some pets in with my rabbit who is usually wary of strangers or people in general so im very happy with the job she did!”
About: I have taken care of all kinda of animal since i was a kid. I have worked at a doggy daycare for a few years and i now work at a pet store. I work full time but i am more than willing to do after and before work! I usually have a couple of days off in a row. I love animals and i would do anything that makes them happy. I would do all of the pets, cuddles, and play that they want and deserve. I will make sure they have food at specified times and make sure they have enough water at all times.
About: I have about 10 years of experience with dogs and cats and grew up having aquarium pets like lizards and frogs. I currently have a 1 year old Great Dane mix fur baby (so the big babies don’t scare me) and 2 tabby cats. Both cats brought to me by the cat distribution system 😌 I promise to love on and treat your fur babies as if they are my own. I expect that for my own from a pet sitter. I specialize in walks (can train if interested), day check ins and playtime, overnight cares/feeding, and out of town care. If you’re not sure, just ask, and if I can’t I might know someone who can! I have a very flexible schedule and am available 7 days a week. It really depends on the service you need. Occasionally I will take a vacation as well. I like to meet all pets beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. If the energy is off it won’t work. I want you and your pet to be comfortable with me. It also gives me a chance to see how you engage with your pet to keep that in alignment as well. If it’s a good feel for all, any rules, routines, emergency contact information, needs, don’ts/dos, etc. can be discussed and the initial meet. I want you to feel comfortable about your pet’s care so you can enjoy your workday or vacation without worry. I will send pictures and updates, something I really appreciate with my sitters as well!
About: Since my mother fostered pregnant cats when I was just a young child, I've grown to have over 20 years of cat experience. I am very patient. Wide availability to help care for your cat, experience with newborn to senoir cats.
About: Having grown up surrounded by dogs, pet care comes naturally to me. My experience dog sitting for family and friends has shown me that each furry friend deserves personalized attention and care. Animals have always been drawn to my calm, nurturing energy - just as I'm drawn to them! Whether your pup needs extra playtime, quiet cuddles, or walks, they'll receive the same loving care they get at home. Your fur-babies will be in experienced, caring hands! As a school district staff member (September-June) who is enrolled in college online, I have a flexible schedule and am home majority of the time. Summers are completely open! This means plenty of one-on-one time with your pup, consistent walks, and lots of attention. Whether you need regular bookings or last-minute care, I'm here to help! Your pup's safety is my priority! While I don't have a fenced yard, I provide supervised leashed potty breaks and plenty of exercise options. We enjoy walks on the Fox River State Trail or fun trips to the dog park. Your furry friend will have two friendly pups to socialize with, and can either cuddle on the bed or rest in their crate - whatever matches their home routine!
About: Growing up, we have always either had a family dog or would dog sit family friend’s dogs. I’ve been a dog lover ever since I can remember! I’ve spent much of my life around dogs and knowing how much work and dedication a puppy takes. I have a border collie mix puppy who has taught me a lot!! I currently basically work full time from home. I go on site about 2x/month for a half a day. Otherwise my schedule is pretty flexible throughout the day! I have a yard for a dog to play in. It is not fenced but the dog would be on a leash while outside. We would also be able to crate the dog if that is what you do with your dog at home.
“Alli did an excellent job! We felt confident she would know exactly what to do for our animals. Her communication was timely, and she provided lots of details and photos. We will definitely book Alli again!”

“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!”
“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!”
“Bonnie was great! Our dog and hers had so much fun playing and she accommodated us for a last minute booking. Will definitely book again next time we are in the green Bay area and need pet care 😊”
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.
“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.”
“Cristy was amazing! Her home was so cute and tidy. She has a sweet little dog that played so well with my dog whom normally doesn’t care much for others. Cristy was kind, communicative, and flexible.”
About: I and my family are available to take care of your pet during the day, overnight, whenever is needed! We have owned several dogs and cats over our lifetimes and have taken care of many peoples pets. We have a deep passion for animals and will give your pet the very best care. We have been very active with Rover and have owned dogs for roughly 20 years and are only recently without dogs since our last one passed away a few years ago. Since we like to travel now that we’re older we decided not to adopt any more dogs but miss them and are happy to give our love to yours! We have two cats of our own and can never have too many animals to love on and play with! I or my husband and adult daughter are available full time most days including weekends. Please feel free to contact me to reserve the days you need pet sitting or other services. I have a fenced yard to keep your dog happy and entertained. If your dog needs to be crated when no one is home, please provide the crate.
“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!”
“Quite gracious and friendly. Bobbie and Clark were most accommodating on short notice. They were great with our dog who clearly had a terrific time in Bobbie and Clark’s wonderful care.”
About: Our family loves animals. We have a comfortable home with a large yard. We have three caring boys that love pets. We are not quite ready to bring a dog into our home full-time because of traveling, but we love to have the company of a pet from time to time. Recently, our youngest has been showing allergy symptoms, so we are only able to watch hypo-allergenic dogs. The dog is treated like our own and spoiled during their stay with us. I work from home with my skincare business, so most of the day, I am home with the pets. We welcome potty trained dogs to our home that do well with children. We can adjust our care style to what makes you most comfortable. I also love to do drop in visits and fill the Rover cards with lots of info and pictures to keep your mind at ease. For these visits, the dogs can be any breed. I work from home and set my schedule, so being a Rover sitter is a nice little extra for me. It is easy to work with and around schedules. We have a large, unfenced backyard. We take dogs on nice walks around our neighborhood. We only board one dog at a time, so it feels like a family setting.
“I truly appreciate Colleen for taking care of my fur baby all day! She is super nice and took very good care of my fur baby! I definitely recommend her. If and when I am back in Greenbay I will for sure do another booking with her.”
About: Dog parent almost entire life-usually medium to XL dogs. I am new to SE Florida and happy to help other dog families as Rover has always helped me. Fenced yard. I have a lab mix and he does well with other dogs. Will only host one dog at a time. I am always at home! Your dog will have someone to play with them and provide potty breaks whenever needed, and I work from home. Fenced yard. Lots of room to play outside. House has no steps. My dog is crated at night (his preference) and happy to host your dog crated or without.
“Love using Sarah for dog sitting! She is so flexible and I can always count on her with last minute bookings! Frankie leaps out of my arms to go greet her family and pups ❤️ Will continue bringing frankie ❤️”
“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.”
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!
“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: I grew up with cats, dogs, cows, goats etc. so I have always been around and taking care of animals. I regularly take care of friends and families dogs/cats and am very patient. I used to work in nursing and most recently as a chemist, but am looking for supplemental animal love and interactions! I have availability and flexibility as needed Sunday through the week. I can do mornings, evenings or afternoons. I can accommodate most changes as this is my primary work. I have a closed in backyard and basement. I have two cats that can be separated or blocked off to separate areas of the house.
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 love taking care of all different kinds of pets, I love working with pets that have unique personalities. There is still so many breeds of both dogs and cats that I would love to be able to take care of. I am currently working part-time at a pet boarding/ daycare facility and still going to school. I still seem to have time that I feel as if I am wasting and need something to fill that void. In my clients home I will try to stick to the instructions that they give me when I am caring for their pet. I will also do anything extra depending on the pet and the different needs that they may have. (Ex. If they are a senior pet or a puppy)

I am taking a short leave from my full time position. My home is a family home we’ve grown up in the last seven years or so- plush grass, friendly dog neighbors, friendly neighbors, a lot of exercise in walking (I’ve gone as far as a half marathon once, not saying that’s the plan though unless you’re looking to train for a half marathon of course… lol)

“Bobbi was a fabulous sitter to my dog Duke. She’s caring, responsive and connected with us often while watching Duke. Her yard is a playground for all pups. Truly grateful to have found her! One of my best experiences with Rover!”
“Emily and her family took great care of my pup! She send lots of pictures and I truly felt like she cared for my dog as her own. Her house was clean and inviting and she was easy to communicate with. I would book with her again!”
“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.”
“This was our dogs second stay with Erika and we will be back again. Flexible pick up and drop off. Clean kennels and she sends video check ins of the dogs. Highly recommend.”
“Melissa and her mother were very welcoming and accommodating for our stay with them. Due to a change in plans on my part, she allowed me to pick up my dog earlier than arranged which was very nice. They notified me of my dog's progress and sent pictures of her stay.”
“Shanna was incredible! She took care of our boy somewhat last minute + he honestly had more fun than he would have with us :) If we’re ever in town again, we would gladly leave Zeb in Shanna’s care.”
“Jeffrey was amazing with communication from the start of booking all the way to the end of the trip. He truly eased my fears of leaving my dog for the first time ever. He took her on walks and just gave her so much love and TLC. He gave daily updates on my dog and even sent pictures. Eased my heart for sure. He was truly amazing with my dog Belle and I will definitely be using him in the future.”
“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!!!”
“Denise and her whole family are fantastic!! Our dog Miley loved her stay. I highly recommend Denise to anyone who is looking for a kind and compassionate dog sitter!!”
“Mackenzie did a great job making us feel at ease leaving our dog with her while we were in town for a packers game. Our dog was so excited when he met her he hardly said goodbye to us and was in a great mood when we picked him up the next day. Mackenzie was great with communication and sending photos and updates.”
“Rebecca was incredibly flexible and accommodating. Weather caused chaos in our return plans and she waited up until 12:30am for us to pick up our dogs. Last time we traveled we kenneled our dogs and they came back stressed which lasted a week. This time they obviously had played hard as they were tired the first morning, but were right back themselves!”
“This is the second time my best buddy stayed with Kelly. I can’t recommend them more highly. Everything is just super easy and it felt like they genuinely wanted to treat my guy like a member of the family. While on vacation, it was so great seeing daily pics and updates. He got cuddles and play, came back tired but that’s great. Again, I would give 10 stars if it was possible.”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
About: With over 17 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a lifetime of hands‑on knowledge and a genuine love for pets of all ages. I’ve raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years and have helped neighbors for many years with reliable cat‑sitting and general pet‑care support. My background includes basic training skills, experience with a wide range of temperaments, and the ability to provide gentle care for seniors, energetic play for younger dogs, and everything in between. Our home offers a family‑style, country‑living environment where pets can relax and enjoy plenty of space. Dogs have access to both indoor and outdoor dog‑run areas, regular walks, and supervised playtime. Light grooming—such as brushing and simple upkeep—is also available to help your pet feel clean and comfortable throughout their stay. I treat every pet like part of the family and strive to make their time here safe, enriching, and full of the comfort they deserve. I work from home, which allows me to flexibility to help keep a consistent and attentive routine for the pets in my care. Dogs can enjoy potty breaks, playtime, and walks throughout the day, including: • Early‑morning walks • Midday/noon walks • Later‑day or early‑evening walks Your dog will also have 24‑hour access to a safe indoor/outdoor dog run, giving them freedom to stretch, sniff, and relax whenever they’d like. For downtime or pups who prefer structure, I provide a clean, comfortable crate area upon request. My flexible schedule and home setup ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and a calm, country‑style environment throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Our home offers a secure, family‑friendly environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. We provide a fully fenced indoor/outdoor dog run, giving dogs a safe space to explore, stretch, and enjoy fresh country air throughout the day. For structure, naps, or dogs who prefer their own space, I offer a clean and comfortable crate option upon request. Dogs enjoy regular walking options, including strolls around our spacious lawn and yard area, perfect for sniffing, exploring, and getting gentle exercise. Our home is a true family setting, with children who are experienced and respectful around pets, a friendly and playful three‑year‑old Labrador retriever, and a gentle house cat who is calm around visiting animals. This creates a warm, social atmosphere for pets who enjoy companionship and calm routines for those who prefer quieter spaces. I strive to provide a safe, trustworthy, and welcoming environment where every pet feels cared for like one of our own.
“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!”
“Shelby is the best! Love all the videos she sends, so we feel connected when we are gone. Cooper is so tired out when he gets home, I think he really loves it there! Thanks for taking such good care of Cooper!”
“Lorri welcomed my fur baby Amelia into her home when I dropped her off to spend Oshkosh EAA Adventure. I can tell you it is the first time I have left her with anyone that I walked away with a smile. The photos that I received all week just confirmed that she was having as much fun as I was at the air show!”
“Teressa was great to work with leading up to and through our departure out of town. We had a nice, short meet n greet. She was very flexible with us, and took great care of our sweet pup. She sent regular updates and photos unlike a previous Rover we used. We look forward to booking Teressa again soon!”
