“We definitely recommend Maria and Nayibe. We were constantly updated with photos and we could tell that our dogs were being well cared for and even pampered. We will be booking again!”
“Scott Ashley and their boys are a Godsend for me. Dixie is safe and I am able to relax and enjoy my vacation time. They treat her so well and she is a senior gal who is blind and almost deaf. I get photos throughout my trip and I really enjoy that. I would not leave Dixie with anyone else.”
“Angela was amazing! She was flexible with drop off/pick up, sent us pictures/videos of our Olive. I felt very comfortable having our dog stay with her and her family. Will definitely use again in the future when we go out of town. Thank you!!!”
“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!”
“They are the BEST sitters ever! Penny Bean is excited to arrive at their house (confirmation of how caring they are!). We get photos throughout our trips and they are very accommodating if you want more or less information (based on your style as a pet parent!). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!”
“Gianina was a great host to Kona! She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend! She had a great yard for him to explore, and she took him on nice walks. We will definitely book with her again if we travel!”
“I feel great leaving my dog overnight with Sherry! I appreciate her eagerness to learn my dog’s needs and any specific instructions, and that she’s got a great yard to play in! Would highly recommend and return for care in the future.”
“Yolanda is our family’s go-to sitter and we wouldn’t want it any other way. We get plenty of pictures and updates, while also given our space to enjoy a trip away and know our pup is happy and safe.”
“Paul did an amazing job watching our pup! He "warned' us that he would try to exceed our expectations, and no question he absolutely did. We loved all the updates with photos, and the numerous offsite visits to parks was so fun to see. So comforting while we were such a long distance away. We'd recommend Paul to anyone!”
“Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾”
“I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Ashley and her family. Penelope has stayed with Ashley before, and it is so clear how much they genuinely adore her — and the feeling is absolutely mutual! Ashley is incredible about sending me photos and little updates throughout the day, so I always know how Penelope is doing and what kind of fun she is getting into. There is such a difference between knowing your pet is being well cared for and knowing she is being genuinely loved while you’re away, and with Ashley, I never have to worry for a second. Her entire family is so incredibly sweet to Penelope, and she is clearly completely comfortable and happy in their home. When I picked her up today, she genuinely seemed like she would have preferred to stay with them rather than come home with me — which I suppose is the highest praise a pet sitter can receive 😂 Ashley has become someone I completely trust with Penelope, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We will absolutely be back!”
“Again, Jenifer did a wonderful job taking care of our cavapoo Toby so we could go on our Alaskan cruise. It makes it so much easier to travel knowing he is taken so well care of!!!! Thank you so much Jenifer. We really appreciate you!!!”
“This is the 2nd time Bella has been at Monique’s and she is always well looked after. Monique is great at communicating whether it is while setting up the drop off/pick up or sending us pictures during her stay.”
“Sydney loved her stay with Jennifer and Alex! Their family took great care of her, took her on walks, played in the snow, and gave her lots of snuggles. All safety precautions were taken seriously and we felt very comfortable having Sydney be taken care of by them. Would highly recommend!!!”
“Andrew helped watch my dog, Lucy, during a recent trip I had. He was very flexible and communicative throughout the process with drop off and pickup, and sent great photos throughout the stay to keep me comfortable regarding how Lucy was doing. Would absolutely book with him again.”
“Amazing. Communicated daily and sent lots of pictures. She made adjustments to help my dog eat while being in a new environment. Will definitely be rebooking.”
“Nikki was a great pet sitter for my dog. It was nice that we could meet prior to my dog’s stay so it wouldn’t be such an unknown. Nikki also sent many photos and kept me updated throughout the stay. Nikki is a super find!”
“Had a great experience! She was very attentive and caring with Waker, and we felt comfortable the whole time knowing he was in good hands. He got along great with her dog Luna, which was a huge plus. Would definitely book again”

“Rayanna had great communication and attentiveness while completing drop in visits for my cats. I was very appreciative of her visits and I know my cats were too!”
About: I started caring for cats when i was a veterinary assistant about 10 years ago. since then, i’ve cared for cats for friends, family, and neighbors when they need it. I can: • feed and refresh water bowls • clean out litter boxes • play with your cat(s) • give meds
“Jessica was an amazing caretaker for Figgy, everything went perfectly while we were gone and we could tell Fig enjoyed her daily cuddle sessions! We will absolutely use Jessica for our next trip!”
“Jen sent great messages and pictures each day letting us know what as going on with our two fur babies - gave a lot of comfort to us while we were away. Will definitely be asking her to pet sit again!”
“Meghan was amazing and such a sweet heart! I 100% recommend her and will look for her again in the future for any pet sitting needs. My cats have a strict routine due to health issues and she did AMAZING! I appreciate everything she did for us while we were away for the weekend.”
“2nd time having Paul as our cat sitter - couldn't be happier. He takes great care of our 2 cats, sends regular updates and pictures; our cats are really comfortable with him! Can't wait to have him take care of our cats again in the future ☺️”
“Allison was an amazing sitter for our four cats — Stanley, Pebbles, Murphy, and Harley. Stanley is a full-time attention hog, but Allison made sure everyone got their cuddles and pets during each visit. She also flawlessly handled Stanley’s nightly oral medication (6/6 successful doses 👏), which is no small feat. All cats are on various different prescription foods, and she fed them perfectly, kept water bowls full, and made sure dry food was always available. We loved the detailed Rover report cards and all the photos — it was clear she spent the full hour with them, just as requested. I know we are coming home to happy, well-cared-for cats and total peace of mind. She also brought all our packages into the house, which is a bonus.”
“Mackenzie was great! She did a stop in visit to feed my three cats and went above and beyond. Not only did she send plenty of photos, she also took a quick look at the litter boxes. Would go with again!”
“Kandice was amazing with our kitties! We have four, one of which is pretty high maintenance in terms of prescription meds/food, and she handles it with ease. Will book again!”
“Melita did an amazing job taking care of my dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter and would happily book with her again in the future.”
“Madeline was so good with our boys! (cats) she took the time to meet them beforehand and was responsive the whole time. We gave her detailed instructions and she followed them: able to give medications to 2 of our cats without any issues. We went on our trip with a peace of mind that our cats were well taken care of. thank you Madeline!”
About: We lost our sweet Blue (11 year old labradoodle) 3 years ago of bone cancer, and have recently become empty nesters. We LOVE dogs, and our cat has missed his canine companion. Our yard is over an acre, and includes a wooded area. We are also located near beautiful trails that we can walk to. Both of us work from home the majority of the time, and we will only open our home up to furry house guests if we are sure that at least one of us is available to be home the majority of the day. Your dog will love the extra love and attention that they will receive, and we tend to be a bit lenient with letting dogs on furniture/beds. Most of our neighbors own dogs, and there are young children next door. That being said, a dog that is friendly with other dogs and not wary of children would LOVE a vacation with us. I am working part time, and my husband works at least 1/2 of the time from home. We are flexible with dog schedules, and have experience with "elderly" dogs with special needs. We have a large yard (over an acre), which is not fenced in. Our neighborhood connects to walking trails and parks, so your dog will have ample exercise opportunities. We are extremely flexible with our schedules, and can adapt to meet your dog's current routines.
About: I have taken care of friends and family’s pets for years and have experience with senior cats and dogs. Recently I have been cat and dogging sitting for my friends more frequently while also taking care of my own cats. I am available all weekdays and rotating weekends! I pretty much have open availability and flexibility for whenever you need your little ones watched or cared for. My home is not available for pet sitting but I am available for house/pet sitting at clients homes. I can play with, cuddle, feed and provide medications for your pets in your home.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! Growing up with both dogs and cats, I was the pet caretaker in my family—handling daily walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles. Those early experiences sparked a love of caring for animals. For the past 4 years, I've been dog walking and pet sitting for a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, belly rubs, or playing fetch, I'm happy to match their energy and routine. I am available in the morning and anytime after 3pm in the evenings. On the weekends I am available all day. My goal is to make pet care as convenient for both you and your animals! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I am committed to providing a safe and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. If your pet has specific needs, routines, or accommodations, I am happy to make adjustments in my care routine to ensure they feel comfortable. I make sure every pet gets the walks, playtime, supervision, and companionship they need each day!
“They were so helpful and understanding of situations that came up. I'm also so thankful for them understanding how shy most of my cats are and allowed them to chill out of sight together.”
About: I grew up with several cats and have had one of my own for almost 4 years! I understand that every kitty has a different personality and needs and would love to give them exactly what they need!

“My puppy is 2 months and Maria was so sweet to my doggy! I had a last minute appointment and Maria was so understanding ! She catered to my dog and made sure she played her heart out . She made sure to send lots of videos and updates . Very wonderful. Thank you Maria , will be sending Tour over soon ! :-)”
“Mary and Hanna are AWESOME! We were so worried about leaving our baby alone so we looked into other alternatives. Leaving him with them was the best choice we could have made. Loads of cute pics and the opportunity for him to socialize with other pups. Would completely recommend Mary and Hanna to anyone looking for the best pup care!??”
“Gianina watched my 7 month old puppy for 4 consecutive days. She was awesome to work with and each day my puppy came home happy, healthy, and tired. I truly appreciate her caring for him so well and I would absolutely book with her again in the future.”

“Monique was very nice, she took great care of my dog. She sent me updates and pictures to let me know how she was doing. She is very quick to respond. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her and knowing she will get great care!”
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.
“I have an almost two week stay booked for my old man puggle. I wanted to do some day visits so he could get used to the changes. She said he did so well and adjusted easily. I am feeling so much more at ease about the stay!! I am so grateful that there are people like her out there.”
“Thank you so much to Kim! Kim was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog Mushi today. She's very friendly and made us feel very comfortable about leaving our lab mix rescue with her while we enjoyed the Milwaukee Zoo. She walked Mushi and also gave us updates as well as pictures. I highly recommend her to watch your dog.”

About: I've grown up with dogs currently have 2 at my house. I've also worked at dog daycare for 2 years. I've also dog sit for friends/Family. I have been relied on to feed, play, let out to go to the bathroom I just started a part time job at red wing kennels in Sussex Wisconsin I’m trying to make everything fit into my schedule as best as I can! and looking for something to fill some of my time. I just finished a 9 month program so I didn't have a job when I was in school. working on finding something part time or full time I have 2 dogs at home a 3 year old lab and 13 year old rat terrier mix my dad and I take the lab to the park a lot to swim or walk in the fenced area. If we don't go to the park that day we have big yard we throw the ball and our labs friend who is also a lab comes over a lot to they play together all the time. When it comes to watching other clients dogs I get a list and explanation of what you want me to do with your loved pet who is also like family.
About: After several busy months on Rover with almost nonstop bookings, I have had such great stays with dozens of dogs, no accidents in the houses, no bites, no runaways, zero negative experiences. I feel confident that with me, you’re getting a premium stay for your pets for a really good value! I’m incredibly hands on and present with the pets, with them 24/7 and very adaptable with the different needs and personalities. I’m attentive with different care instructions and really shower the animals with positive attention 😊 I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. This is not a business for me, it’s something I have enjoyed doing for my family and friends, and if you want your beloved pet to be in a calm but fun, comfortable environment while you’re away, I can extend my service to you. I recently started doing home stays/drop ins for the pet sitting too and enjoyed it. I currently have a really flexible schedule with a lot of availability. I live with my dad that occasionally says hi if the dog or cat is friendly but mostly the house is big enough that they never cross paths. I have a fenced in yard and a big house with a lot of space that I can also section off by closing doors. I typically take the animals out several times a day, feed them, and let them roam around the house or snuggle with me. I like when pet owners bring a bed for their pets so I can make them their own space but they’re welcome to chill with me in whatever I’m doing. I’m youthful, active, and responsible. I have a naturally friendly, calm demeanor that animals and people respond well to. I have no pets right now but used to have a pit/black lab mix that I loved dearly so I love pits and other breeds with historically bad reputations. I frequently sit my aunt’s beagle mix who’s just a little old pup that sparked my interest for pet sitting because it was so fun to have visits from him. He and my old dog are in a bunch of my pics. With all animals I just try to make them comfortable and let them feel at home.

Just let me know when you’d like help and we can work together to find what works! I am available for drop-ins. I am NOT available for overnight stays. I understand it can be a weird feeling having a new person come into your home (especially for your pet)! As a guest in your home, I am respectful and patient as your pet gets comfortable with me. I try my best to follow your pets lead, while also being a leader for them. I’ve cared for dogs and cats in other people’s homes many times and prioritize the safety of their home. For example, making sure it’s locked up and left how I found it when i leave, making sure the collars and leashes are secure before walks, and ensuring pets don’t escape when i open the door haha!

I provide calm, reliable, and attentive care for pets of all personalities. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique routine and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, or a drop in visit, I focus on communication and consistency to ensure a smooth visit!! I care deeply about animals and love to work toward making pets feel safe and comfortable.
“Paul helped me out a lot in a pinch! It was a last minute booking, I was from out of town, and my family made dinner reservations. Paul was flexible with the times and went out of his way to accommodate our situation.”
“Maddalena is so helpful and flexible! I appreciate her thinking ahead- she saw it would be raining so she took our dog on a quick walk and then played with her inside. Dallie still got some energy out, and we couldn't be happier. :)”
About: I’ve been around animals ever since I was young! I’ve always wanted to take care of animals and now I want to do more than what there needs are. I work with animals about everyday, so I have worked with them more. I love getting to know each individual pet as I’m learning more! I’m willing to come check in on them every 4-8 hours and care for what they need done including feeding, potty breaks and walks if needed
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I can remember. I have been in charge of feeding/walking to bathing and playing with animals. I always have 3 day weekends!

I will never put them in a harmful situation.In my own home, I have ample space for them to run and play.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and dependable dog lover with over 20 years of hands-on dog caretaking experience. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, personalities, and care levels — from energetic pups to senior dogs requiring extra patience, attention, and medication management. One thing that sets me apart is my flexibility while working remotely. I’m able to provide more consistent companionship and care throughout the day by working from your home when needed. Whether your dog needs potty breaks every few hours, lunchtime playtime, walks, medication administration, or simply someone there to keep them company, I’m happy to help! I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, and I truly treat every pet as if they were my own family member. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry loved one, and I pride myself on being attentive, patient, reliable, and loving. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend!

“Heather was fantastic! She knew how to handle my young, strong Doberman with ease. I will definitely use her again to walk my boy and recommend her to family and friends. Thanks again Heather!”
“Allison was very timely and professional. She was quick to communicate and had no issues with any changes of plans. We would recommend her to others and plan to reach back out to her in the future!”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life. I adopted my first dog, Ziggy in 2009. Unfortunately, Zig had special needs that cut his already short life even shorter. I made sure his days were filled with love, fun and all of the special care he needed. Ziggy inspired me to go on to adopt a kitty, eventually another dog and volunteer with a rescue. Animals are such sweet souls that can teach us so many things. I’m currently available for dog walks and drop in visits during the day and night on weekends. I’m also available weeknights at the moment for both as well. I’m available for walks from 30-60 minutes. I’m also able to stop by and do the basics or hang out and watch an episode of the Real Housewives with your fur baby if that’s what they prefer.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs all my life. I grew up showing dogs, both my family dogs and others. My family back home currently has three dogs, each a different size, from small to large, so I have experience with all sizes. I live in a great area for casual walks, with a dog park and a small lake nearby for the pups that are allowed to swim! I work full-time, in-office Monday through Thursday and from home on Fridays. I take daily walks around my neighborhood in the evening. On weekends, I love exploring a new coffee shop and walking trail or just a longer walk in the areas near me. I’d love to bring your pet along with me on walks and for downtime on the couch afterwards! I don’t have a fenced yard, but there is a dog park where your pup can run freely. Outside of that, we have open grass areas where we can walk. All pups are welcome on furniture at my place and are welcome to enjoy the space as their own. I do have a patio that they’re more than welcome to sit outside and enjoy with me.
About: I haven't been without a dog since age nine, when my parents gave us our first opportunity to develop a bond with a pet, Abby, our beloved English setter. She died the year I graduated from college, and since then I have had two of my own dogs: Gretta, a chocolate lab whom I owned from age 6 weeks until her death at age 13, and Lillie, a springer spaniel who was basically a life-long puppy exploding with energy and a fervor for running, jumping, and all things adventure-related. Sadly, Lillie died in June (at age 13), and we miss her so much. My husband like to travel, so I am not quite ready to adopt another dog yet, but in the meantime, I would love to pet-sit for other dogs so as to be around furry friends who bring so much joy to my life. I'm a teacher, so I'm mainly interested in walking and caring for pets on the weekends and during the summer months, but I can be available other times as well depending on my schedule. My job is to provide love, attention, and a safe and enriching learning environment to any pet in my care. I accommodate as needed depending on the needs of the individual animal.
“Mikaela and Shane are AMAZING!!!! They took such great care of our Maisy while we were away for 5 nights!! Communication was great and prompt, our meet and greet went great and they knew we were a little nervous leaving our girl with a new family so they sent pictures and updates daily that really helped ease my worried mama mind. Maisy warmed up fast and we had no issues at all! Will definitely be using them again for our future dog sitting needs! Thanks so much Mikaela and Shane!!!”
“Angie did an excellent job taking care of our dog. She even sent us pictures and updates every day! She was very friendly and responsive. Due to weather we were back a day and a half later and Angie graciously was able to keep our dog for the extra time. This was such a relief for us! Would highly recommend!!!”
“Cheryl and Josh were wonderful sitters for my dog Molly. They treated her as if she was their own dog. Cheryl was respectful of all the requests that I had made for Molly's stay. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures that Cheryl shared. It was a great comfort for me knowing that I did not have to worry about Molly while I was away on vacation. We will be booking with Cheryl and Josh again!!”
“Cindi was great with our dog Enzo! She kept us updated throughout the trip which was great! I loved knowing that he was safe and enjoying playing with the other dogs.”
“Jennifer was very friendly and receptive to everything. I had to tell her about Kona. She kept me updated with pictures and let me feel confident that she was well taken care of They had two dogs that were very friendly with Kona.”
