“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!”
“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!”
“Megan does such a great job with our kitties! She always gives them lots of love and makes sure they get attention while we are gone. She is extremely responsive and makes us feel like our kitties are well cared for.”
“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!!”
About: I have grown up with dog in my life, Walking them is my job, also my work out. 2 miles at least walk per walk. I grown up with big dogs , walking them is the best way to waste their energy. Also add some work out on my own. For visiting, I work in the 8am-4:30pm , during weekdays anytime before 8 or after 4:30 pm will work for me. On the weekend I usually I can walk them anytime. I live in an apartment I do believe that if you walk him well enough (longer distances, let them smell around) they don’t need a yard. I walk my dog at least one mile per walk. I also play with them at home to make sure they are good to go.
“Kristen was very good at updating us and taking care of everything. She even did the extra thing by bringing our garbage cans. Up to the garage.”
“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 go beyond the basics to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, stimulated, and loved. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and energy levels—from gentle senior pups to high-energy breeds that thrive with agility exercises and interactive play. I love incorporating puzzle toys and movement into our time together to keep their minds and bodies active. I also offer nail trims for both cats and dogs, which saves you a trip to the groomer and helps keep your pet comfortable. Walks are tailored to your dog’s needs, and I’m lucky to have access to a large, green outdoor area for fresh air and fun. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, a calm walk with a senior pup, or enrichment for a curious kitty, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a true love of animals to every visit. Pet care is already a central part of my everyday life. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to take frequent breaks throughout the day—and I use that time to walk, play, or check in on pets. I’m already out caring for my own dog, so adding in extra walks, playtime, or visits with other pets fits seamlessly into my schedule. I love staying active and being outdoors, and pet sitting is the perfect way to combine that with something I genuinely enjoy—spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort and well-being always come first. I make sure fresh water is always available, and I keep a stash of healthy treats on hand (with your permission, of course!). Pets in my care get regular potty breaks outside and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I have extra leashes, cozy pet beds, and a clean, pet-safe environment. I’m also able to travel easily, so I can provide in-home care that keeps your pet in their familiar routine. Whether it's snuggles, structured walks, or playtime in a secure green space, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs and personality.
About: I have a lot of experience with pets, specifically dogs, as I’ve had pets my whole life and really love them. I’ve had both puppies and older dogs so I have experience taking care of both. Besides my own dogs I have dog sat for neighbors multiple times and other family members and find spending time with these dogs to be very enjoyable! I also have a lot of experience dealing with multiple dogs at once as, for most of my life, I’ve had multiple dogs and have dog sat for people that have multiple dogs. I am very comfortable with all kinds of pets! I’m currently working part-time from about 9am-4pm but have plenty of time after this to take care of pets. My weekends are also often free! When caring for pets in clients homes I am sure to respect their home and the rules they have set. I understand that every house operates differently and want to honor that
About: I’ve been caring for family friends’ dogs for the past few years while they’re away on vacation. During that time, I’ve handled feeding, walking, and playtime during my visits. Having grown up with dogs my whole life, I have plenty of experience and love for all pets:) I’m currently a student at UW-La Crosse and am home in the Madison area for the summer! I would love to help out with any of your pets needs! I love to provide attentive care for dogs by taking them on walks, feeding them, and giving baths when needed. I also make sure they have plenty of company, playtime, and, of course, lots of love!
About: As a long time lover of animals and haver of pets, I ensure to provide the same care to the pets I care for that I would expect my own pets to receive. Going out of town can be stressful leaving fur babies at home, but it’s important the care of your pets is not a concern or worry! I work a full time job, 7-4 M-F, but when dog sitting I do my best to ensure the dog is walked before I leave, during lunch if my schedule permits it, and an extra long walk in the afternoon. I like to make sure the pets have a little piece of home when visiting my apartment, so bringing toys, blankets, things like that are always a plus! I am always sure to take them on a walk to familiarize themselves with the area and also let them have some time alone in my space to get to know it. When they are at home, I am very cautious to make sure the pets are not threatened by me, and make sure to act normal as their owners would!!
“We love her coming over and intend to continue using her services again and again!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 10 years old. My family has also had pets since I was born. We’ve always had a dog in our household, 2-3 cats, and we have a horse. When I got a puppy of my own I started using Rover for sitters. I’ve loved my experience with Rover and would love to give back and help pets as well! I am available for drop in visits, boarding, as well as overnight house sitting! I live in Cottage Grove in an animal friendly apartment complex. I look forward to meeting you and your animals! I work full time so I would be available at night for drop in visits, or walks, otherwise I am available to help more on the weekends too! I follow my client’s requests/directions very closely and always make sure to send plenty of updates and photos! I have plenty of experience with overnight dog sitting and will treat your home with the utmost respect! I work full time as a teacher in Sun Prairie. I am available after 3:30 pm Monday through Friday. Weekends are more open for boarding, drop-in visits, or house sitting. I welcome pets into my home by providing a safe and comfortable environment. They will be spoiled and loved while they are with me! Your pet will get all of the attention they need!

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.”
Jacqueline L.
“Jacqueline has been caring for pets for over a decade. She has a calm energy that relaxes even the most anxious pups. Under her care, dogs are walked, played with, mentally engaged, and loved, which ensures her clients go home balanced. And her dog Sam is the perfect intro dog. He's just interested enough in other dogs to make them feel welcome. Talk to Jacqueline about your dog's needs, and I'm sure she'll be able to accommodate them. And ask about nail trims. She's amazing!”
Joselyn B.
“Joselyn has grown up with dogs her whole life. Joselyn has taken care of my dog overnight on multiple occasions with no problem. Joselyn is a very responsible, dependable, and kind person. I have the utmost trust and faith in her to love and care for my pet as I would. I would strongly recommend Joselyn as a pet sitter because she has the experience and the right demeanor for the job. I appreciate the fact I don't worry when my dog is in her care. I hope you consider her for this role. You won't be disappointed!”
Isabella H.
“Isabella is a fantastic pet caregiver! She is responsible, loving, and truly cares for every pet as if they were her own. I trust her to provide the best care, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or overnight stays:) Your pets will be in great hands with Isabella!”
Kyndall O.
“Kyndall has been my primary pet sitter for three years. Her love of animals is evident and she texts updates and pictures. Had to extend my time away last year. Kyndall and another girl split the extra four weeks. While away I rec'd a call from the other sitter that she locked my house key in the house. Kyndall, not at home had a neighbor run over and grab her key for the sitter to pick up. Highly recommend Kyndall!.”
Shatoria W.
