About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the lifelong experience and genuine love I have for animals. I grew up in a home full of dogs and have always been surrounded by pets, learning early on how to care for them with patience and attention. Today, I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I treat every pet like my own, with kindness, consistency, and a lot of love. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra playtime, I ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very open and flexible schedule, which means I’m available throughout the day to give your pets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or an afternoon check-in, I’m able to provide consistent, dependable care. My background in teaching also means I’m organized, responsible, and great at following routines—qualities that translate well into attentive, loving pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, give walks or playtime, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and any instructions you leave, whether it’s about medications, crate time, or favorite toys. If I were to offer care in my home, pets would have a calm, pet-friendly space and lots of companionship throughout the day. No matter the setting, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you're away.

“Laura has been absolutely phenomenal with the weekly recurring dog walks. She gained the trust of our skeptical Bernese mountain dog immediately, and of course our golden loves her. Highly recommend!”

“Bridget was great with our two high maintenance standard poodles. The communication was great and they were well taken care of. We would highly recommend Bridget.”


About: I have been helping care for dogs both personally and as a friend since middle school. I began walking my own dog for an allowance in elementary school and loved it so I began to walk dogs for neighbors and family friends in middle school. Since then I have continued to work with dogs helping friends and family complete basic training (Sit, Stay, Lay, Leave it) and continued to learn more about dog behavior, activity needs by breed and body language. When walking your dog you can expect a minimum of a 1 mile walk/at least 20 minutes of actual walking time (or less if requested due to animal's health and abilities). I will ensure your dog is able to take in the sights and smells along the way and is engaged mentally to get some energy out. I work from home and am pretty flexible around my workday meetings. I have regularly scheduled reoccurring meetings from 9-930 on Mondays and Wednesdays but am flexible otherwise. When caring for your pet in your home you are the boss. I will follow any rules, routines or boundaries expressed by you and agreed to by me. Additionally, I will be respectful of your pet and your space. This means monitoring and respecting their behaviors and body language, keeping a clean space in your home, cleaning any mess made by feeding your animal, and cleaning accidents they may have had if provided the needed tools and supplies. When walking your dog you can expect a minimum of a 1 mile walk/at least 20 minutes of actual walking time (or less if requested due to animal's health and abilities). I will ensure your dog is able to take in the sights and smells along the way and is engaged mentally to get some energy out.

“Molly takes excellent care of my dog. She is communicative, very respectful of my home, kind to my dog, and ensures my dog’s safety every booking. I am lucky to have found Molly. I will definitely book again!”


“Natalee is very kind and conscientious, both to us and our pets. She takes great care of them, and they are always excited to see her!”


“Becky was absolutely awesome! This is my first time using Rover and I was nervous to have someone who isn't me walk my boy, but she made things really easy and was very reassuring :) it was so nice to have him out and walking with someone trustworthy! Thanks again Becky :)”


“Amazing service!”


About: Experienced caring for dogs of all sizes, along with house cats, rodents and reptiles. Particular experience with medium and large size dogs who are anxious/reactive. Rates lowered while I establish myself on Rover. I work from home, so your dog will get a lot of attention when I care for them (and they'll probably get a nickname or two). Walks, bathroom breaks, visits to the dog park, and lots of pets and ear scratches all fit into my daily and weekly schedule with ease. I have a lot of experience with anxious dogs in particular, so am used to reading what a dog needs and wants with a close eye. I take care to make sure that a dog is comfortable with me, that I respect their boundaries, that I respond to their needs, and that we remove ourselves from any situation that might upset or overwhelm them. I often ask a pet owner for details about their dog's usual routine, any particular habits they have, their behavior on leash, and what gives them comfort. This helps me better respond to what the dog is sharing about their needs.

“Stacy was great! She was communicative and she listened to all the details about my dog. She is timely and trustworthy, and my dog loves her too!”


About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals. I’ve dog sat several times over the span of a decade. I’ve cared for dog breeds of all ages, sizes and personalities. Whether it was daily walks, overnight stays, and followed detailed care routines. I also love to stay active and will provide long walks in the neighborhood or local parks! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my classes and study time around pet care. Whether it’s starting with a morning walk or stopping by in the afternoon. Typically I am available Monday-Friday. In clients houses, I make it my top priority to care for your space, respect your pets as I would my own home. I stick closely to your pets usual routine for feeding, walks and playtime. And I’ll always keep you updated with photos or messages to see how they’re doing.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life but have professionally done in the past 6 years! I love spending time around animals and I also stay hyper vigilant if there’s any issues going on! I am currently working in sales where I spend all day in Costco, so I'm looking for a way to get outside and make a new community of friends, and get some walk and play time in with a furry friend! Always more than happy to make time for your pet! I have a cat named Theo and he gets fed on a schedule three times a day, which seems to the perfect mix. I like to keep pets on a schedule and active so that they’re getting all the enrichment and care that they need! If there’s not a fenced in yard, I’m happy to go for a walk!

About: As many other animal-lover's, I have had animals in my life ever since I was born. My very first pet was a black cat named Korn that my parents adopted right before having me! Ever since I have never been without animals in my life. I'm knowledgeable in care for cats, dogs, reptiles and other herps, fish, birds, and horses. I personally have two German Shepherds, a cat, and crested geckos. My dogs I got as puppies and trained them with my mother, so puppy duties are easy for me too! Additionally, I used to work as an adoption manager and took care of two facilities that specifically adopted out cats, so I've worked with many different kinds of cats of different ages and disabilities. I have a plethora of experience with many different species and breeds of those species! My schedule is completely open and flexible. I'm able to be molded into your schedule as you need it! Some Saturday's or Sunday's I will be vending at fairs, but they're not often and only a few hours during the one day! I take care of my own animals whenever I am home. I have two german shepherds, one cat, and crested geckos. The mammals in the house all have the same food schedule. My dogs get lots of outside and inside playtime with me and each other! I love playing with Eva too, and she is big into snuggles (drool city when petting her). I also have crested geckos and have their own personal schedule I attend to (feeding 2-3x a week, watering daily, handling the young ones to get them adjusted to human touch.

About: Happy, loving, patient and playful pupsitters who have experience working as kennel manager, dogsitter, and lifelong dog lovers. We love and care for all creatures big and small and happen to love dogs as though they were our own children (and they are.) My partner Jessie and I share all dog duties in our house. Someone is around the house every day of the week, as Jessie often works from home, and our two pups are always home. We strive to never leave our own pups alone for no more than 4 hours so there's always time and room for bathroom breaks. And if the weather is nice we leave the backyard door open for them to roam free (in a fenced area). It is the most ideal place for a dog to have room to move about, activities to entertain, and loving caretakers to help them live their best life. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space to roam, along with healthy wildlife distractions, fun toys, plenty of snacks, and generous room inside the house for everyone to feel cozy, warm or cool, and always nurtured.

About: Please send a message to inquire about availability. -------------------------------- Hi there, we're Amy Lynn and Jesse! We accept small, non-shedding breeds. Examples: Bichon Frise, Maltese, Lhasa Apso, Mini Poodle, Shih Tzu, Havanese, Yorkie, etc.. Please keep in mind that we won't be a good match if any of the following apply to your dog: 1) requires diapers or is otherwise not housetrained (except for rare accidents), 2) has extreme anxiety about being alone, 3) can jump a 4 foot fence, 4) is a shedding breed, 5) dementia-like behaviors (howling at night, disorientation, etc.,) 6) cannot do steps (we have 9 steps to get to our backyard), 7) is destructive (chews furniture, etc.), 8) is blind or mostly blind 9) requires an overnight potty break (rare occasions are fine). Drop-offs can be as early as 7:00 am and pick-ups as late as 9:00 pm. It's much appreciated if you send a message when you're about to leave or have an ETA. Your dog will be with one of us most of the time. When we leave a dog home alone, its usually not for more than 3-4 hours. Our yard is fenced and the neighbors on either side and back of us do not have dogs. We have a camera with audio in our front room to supervise when we're out. Most dogs sleep in bed with us. Please label any items you bring with your dog's name. We provide bowls, poop bags, toys, a crate (just in case), blankets, leashes. Its not recommended to bring toys because other dogs may destroy them.

About: As a passionate and experienced dog sitter, I bring over 5 years of pet-sitting experience and 4 years of hands-on care with my own pup, who I adopted as a puppy and has grown into a playful, loving companion. He’s wonderful with other dogs and children, which means your furry friend will have a built-in buddy during their stay! I provide a fun, safe, and loving environment for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I live in a dog-friendly apartment just 2 miles from a spacious dog park where I frequently take dogs for exercise and playtime. Whether it’s walks, runs, car rides, or simply cuddling on the couch, your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, and activity while in my care. I’ve also volunteered at the Humane Society in Green Bay during college, where I gained valuable experience working with dogs of all breeds and energy levels. I pride myself on being active, attentive, and highly dependable. When your dog is with me, they’re not just being watched—they’re being cared for like family. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pup like their own, provide regular updates, and ensure they feel right at home, I’d love to be that person. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I can’t wait to meet your best friend! I work part time monday - thursday and my boyfriend starts work later in the day so my pup usually is only home alone for 5 hours out of the day and I come home during my breaks. I usually take him potty and feed him at that time and allow for some play time before going back My puppy loves running. He is a high-energy dog so we do walks and he has lots of toys to play with. We also have a balcony so we like to people watch together in the mornings ! If your dog is not into other dogs or high energy, my pup is also crate trained.

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. I love a gentle giant as much as a little yapper. I have three cats, a bearded dragon, and a ball python myself. Dog walks are therapy, and I'm happy to dose meds, clean ears, or spend extra time throwing the ball (or snuggling with a senior buddy). I currently have wide-open availability and very flexible hours. I have organized sports I play in on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, which I simply work around for nighttime/evening potty breaks. I cannot offer in-home sitting at this time. My cats would be too disturbed and unhappy to have another fur baby in their shared space.

“Sarah is a great option for a dog walker. She is very intune with the dogs needs, and sends pictures. She's flexible and responsive. Super appreciate her!”

Vera Court dog parents share their Rover experiences
Mary was great! Our pup doesn’t tolerate the heat well and she even spent some extra time to make sure she wasn’t over heated after her walk!

Bridget was great with our two high maintenance standard poodles. The communication was great and they were well taken care of. We would highly recommend Bridget.

Hannah always takes such good care of my dog! They go on regular walks together and my dog is always worn out and happy afterward!

Jen D. has quickly become one of Gertrude’s favorite people. Jen D. Is reliable and always ready to help out when you’re in a pinch. We highly recommend that you should book Jen D.

I should have done this ages ago, I was struggling last month with pet care but was overwhelmed. Katie made it so easy, helped out with a last minute request, and I was able to relax while out. I definitely will use again!

Becky has been such a pleasure to work with! She is great with our puppy from the get go, and very organized, reliable, and communicative. I’m so happy to have connected with her!

Kooy really helped out for a last-minute need with my dog, Toliver. Toliver liked him and had a great time on their walks. Would definitely book again.

Kat is absolutely wonderful with my dog. My dog is elderly and in the last year had both of her "ACLs" replaced. Kat was happy to work with us on gradually increasing the length of walks, avoid pulling or pressure, and go at my dog's pace. I would recommend Kat to anyone looking for a dog walker or pet sitter.

Christopher is an excellent dog walker! He is communicative, friendly and thoughtful and his love for dogs really shows. Our dog enjoyed her time with him. We will definitely hire him again.

Cori was wonderful and conscientious with my dog, including notifying me and cleaning up when the dog made a mess of her foam dog bed!

I chose Annemarie to walk my brothers dog. Afterwards He texted me the following: She just returned Ricky after about a 45 min walk. Ricky came back in a good mood. The walker, named AnnMarie, was both pleasant and cheerful. She is worth utilizing if needed again.
