“Nikki is great to work with! She was quick to respond and took care of our three cats so thoughtfully while we were away. I’ll definitely recommend Nikki to anyone looking for trustworthy and reliable support with your four legged family members!”
“Sent pics from each visit and gave me detailed updates. Even brought my Amazon packages upstairs for me! Pics showed my kitty was completely at ease and eating up lovin's from her. Thanks Ellen!!”
“Elisabeth was the best. It was so hard being away from the girls this long for the first time ever. But Elisabeth made it easier. She care for my dogs and communicated regularly. I would highly recommend Her to everyone looking for a caring pet sitter!”
“This was my first River experience and Camille made it an excellent one! I needed late night help over the weekend at the last second and Camille was quick to respond. I truly appreciated her taking time out of her weekend nights to come meet and care for our dog! I appreciated that she sent pictures and gave me updates on how the visits went (although I’m sure that’s part of the Rover process). We will definitely be using her down the road!”
About: I am currently a veterinarian assistant in school to become a veterinary technician. The most amount of animals have set for at once is 7 (3 dogs, 4 cats) all needing special diet food, and certain medication’s. overall, I really love animals and hope to make peoples lives easier by being able to take care of them. Currently, I’m in school Monday through Thursday and I work Wednesday through Friday. I am able to watch animals and do things in the morning and in the evening and whenever I would have the free time to go back to the home and make sure they’re ok. I can do whatever you would like me to do, whether that’s free roam or crate. Ultimately, whatever works in your home works for me.
About: I am nurturing and gentle, and will provide your pet with the best experience. I’ve had lots of animal experience with my own pets, and volunteered at the humane society providing those animals with the extra comfort and TLC they need. I am available Monday through Friday as well as the weekends. Early morning, not late evenings. :) Currently I work at 8am, and am off around 5pm. But would be willing to walk/spend time with the animals before/after to make their day that much better :) I have a large yard for the animals to play, plenty of toys, and lots of love to give. :) your animals will thrive in my care.
“Tonia did an excellent job taking care of my two fur babies this past weekend. The communication and texts i received were stellar. She also left a note for me when she left summarizing the stay. I would recommend her for sure.”
“Jayde is very communicative & responsive. Olive is very particular, but enjoys spending time with Jayde. She cares for her like I would. She is very respectful of my home & Olive’s quirks. I will continue to utilize her to care for Olive.”
About: I am a very kind person to animals and people! I try to treat people and animals as I would like to be treated. I would love to care for your pet and will always try to do the best job that I can. Growing up my family always owned a dog and I love all dogs of all sizes. We owned chihuahuas and we owned boxers and pugs. I also own a cat that I love very much! I hope that you will consider me to care for your pets when you are not able to. I promise to treat them as though they were my own. I hope that you will consider me to care for your pet and will do my best. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be fully present with my dogs and cat and any animals I may have the privilege of watching. I typically have a routine with my dogs and cat. They all get fed twice a day. I try to play with them a little every hour and we typically take walks twice a day as well. I do have an outdoor play area for them they go out supervised about 4 times a day
“We recently entrusted our two beloved cats to Jessie while we were out of town, and we couldn't be happier with her service. Jessie is an absolute gem! From the moment we met her, we knew our fur babies were in capable and loving hands. Jessie went above and beyond to ensure our cats were comfortable and well cared for. She kept us updated with daily photos, showing us just how happy and content they were. It was clear that our cats adored her. Jessie's attention to detail and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. We came home to two very happy cats and a spotless house. It's such a relief to know that we have someone we can trust wholeheartedly with our pets. We highly recommend Jessie to anyone looking for a dedicated, responsible, and caring pet sitter. She exceeded all our expectations and we will definitely be reaching out to her for future house and fur-sitting needs. Thank you, Jessie, for your outstanding service and for treating our cats like your own!”
About: I grew up with dogs ,cats, chickens, rabbits! I love puppies and seniors and just want to have a good and fun experience for every pet! I currently work until 2:30 and then open to walk and play with as many dogs as I can! I love being outside and working out so this is best of both worlds! I have two dogs, Lois (1 year old) and Clark (3 years old) of my own and we tend to go to the park or long walks together! I’m very comfortable around all pets!
About: I had pets my whole life, cats and dogs, so I know what they need. Love, cuddles, and attention! I have a beautiful and sassy calico cat who is good with other animals and a sweet Corgi named Georgia who loves making new friends!! I am a grad student at UWM. I live in an apartment but there are amazing walking trails and a dog park close by! You’re dogs will have lots of room to play!! Dogs will go with me on walks every night and played with to get all the zoomies out! Cats will get lots of cuddles and pets while I spend my evenings at home. Either dog or cat will be well taken care of! My pets have always been well taken care of. They are fed, cuddled, clean, and given all the love. In my home you can promise your pet will be on their own vacation while you are on yours! If sitting at your house is preferred, have peace of mind knowing your pet will be let out every morning and evening, be walked, and given plenty of playtime in the evening!
About: family has relied on me to watch over night, daily walks, bathing, playing! I have a dog of my own, i love giving her new stimulation games, or just letting her sniff! i’m looking for a job as i moved home, looking to take daily walks as i will have a ton of time on my hands! I live by a dog park or i have and open area to run around ! Of course depends on the doggies style! Or would love to just have a play date!

Abigail M.
“Abigail was a wonderful pet sitter for our 4 dogs and 4 cats while we were out of the state for 2 weeks. Each of my pets had pretty specific needs such as daily medications and all being fed different food, and Abigail was able to follow my instructions to a tee! Not only was she amazing at staying in touch with me and sending pictures whenever I asked, my pets also loved her! I also love that she has extensive veterinary medicine knowledge and experience, so that if any of my pets got sick while we were gone, she would know what to do! Leaving our pets for that length of time was nerve racking at first, but once we were on our trip, I did not find myself worrying at all. When we came home, my dogs were even treated to a new toy from their new friend, Abigail. I 10/10 recommended her and would 100% book her again for our pet sitting needs.”

Morgan H.
“Morgan watched my dog whenever my family and I would go on vacations. She started watching Bailey (our golden lab) when she was in high school and continued on for many years. Once Bailey passed and we got Thor (a black lab), she continued on and watch Thor. We would vacation about 2 times a year and Morgan was always available. Bailey and Thor were always walked, let out, feed, and happy.”
