1. Breanca O.

“Breanca was amazing! She was so communicative and made sure we got plenty of photos. We got home and our animals didn’t even seem to miss us, I know that means they got so much love while we were gone. Thank you so much!! I would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing rover!”


2. Lynn N.

“Lynn was AMAZING! She took care of my pups for a lengthy trip and I came home to two extremely happy puppies. She kept me updated throughout my time away, sent lots of photos, and took them on lots of walks. I booked her pretty last minute and she made sure the meet and greet process was swift and easy!”


3. Julia K.

“Julia was a great fit for our dog! She was very flexible when our plans changed several times. Buddy loved her attentive, loving care while she spent the week with him at our home! We are excited to have found a great dog sitter to stay with him while we are away!”


4. Onnika A.
“I have known Onnika for a number of years and she's always demonstrated such passion for animal care and communication. As a Rover sitter myself, she is always my first recommendation to pet parents when I am unavailable because I know she has the experience and drive to provide outstanding service. She develops strong bonds with all her furry friends and thoroughly communicates with clients on how their babies are doing so you can always be sure they are safe and cared for! Not to mention the amazing pictures she takes too!”


5. Morgan G.

“Morgan was great taking care of our dogs while we were out of town! Excellent communication and provided lots of extra snuggles.”


6. Payton H.
“Payton has been exposed to dogs dating back to her earliest years. She grew up in a multi-dog home, with as many as 5 dogs at any given point in time. We believed in teaching responsibility and exceptional pet ownership and Payton participated in the daily care of the dogs in addition to basic training using behavioral principles. I am a doctor of psychology and the applied behavioral sciences instructed us on how to train and develop our dogs. Payton also has watched dogs in our neighborhood, dogs of relatives, and recently stayed in the home of a multi-pet family based on referral. She has the experience and skillset needed for this position.”


7. Katlyn W.
About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was a baby. I have always enjoyed being around animals and playing with them and building trust with them and being able to cuddle with them on tough days. I have had different types of animals in my life. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamster, bearded dragon. I currently work part time as a nanny on mondays and Friday and I also currently am trying to create my own business of refurbishing furniture when I have the time. So I am available most days. If yard is fenced I let them run and play and watch them at all times. Otherwise I will put a leash on them so they stay close. I will also pay attention to where they are at all times.


8. Corey P.
“I have known Corey for many years and he’s a huge lover of animals. He takes care of his own pets with great care and love. He is great with all animals. I would trust him with my pets anytime and anywhere. Lyle”


9. Nathan C.
“Going out of town for an extended vacation was nerve racking for us as puppy parents. Fortunately we had Nate who is a kind, empathetic and caring person who very quickly built a trusting relationship with us and more importantly our dogs. Nate is a natural at building rapport and was able to quickly win our dogs over. We have three dogs and he managed each of their special needs with ease. We also have a very high needs dog in terms of medication along with a regimented walking and feeding schedule. Nate managed this with utmost care and diligence. I would trust Nate 100% with our dogs and would highly recommend him to anyone else be it they have two or four legs.”

14. Madison K.
“Madi loves all animals. She does a great job taking care of her own fur-babies, and would do the same for yours. If you choose to trust Madi with your pet care needs, your pets will leave feeling loved and happy.”

I believe every pet deserves a loving and safe environment, and I strive to provide just that for your furry family members. I am currently available over the weekends, weekdays, and nights.

16. Sara B.
About: I’ve grown up on a farm when I was younger we had a lot of animals growing up, I use to work for a petting zoo in high school. I’m comfortable around a lot of different kinds of animals, I do my best to make sure everyone is happy, well taken care of and safe. I’m currently in the middle of finding a new job so I got a pretty open schedule right now. I’m pretty open on days and nights at the moment. I live out in the country in a small little neighborhood. I have my own black lab who is a very sweet old man. He gets along great with other dogs.


17. Drew R.

“Drew was a wonderful sitter at our home for our Australian Shepard, Smuggler. He communicated with us throughout the weekend and sent pictures. All our interactions with Drew have been positive. We would highly recommend him and will use him in the future.”


18. Bobbie Jo O.

“Bobbie was great! We were so nervous, but she sent us photos of the dogs every visit and even did extra activities with them like reading to them and an art project! One dog had some inflammation while we were gone and she was great about the sudden change of having to administer medication and give that pup extra exercise. We will definitely use her again!”


19. Issac R.
“Issac has a natural talent connecting with dogs and properly training them. I’ve seen him invest countless hours fostering and lovingly correcting dogs who need a strong and loving leader to settle into their potential. He’s also a great teacher of humans! His genuine curiosity, capacity to explain, patient presence, and acquired knowledge all make learning techniques of being a good dog parent from him easeful and a pleasure. I can’t recommend Issac enough. Four out of four paws 🐾 🐾”


20. Taylor R.
About: I’ve taking care of dogs and cats all of my life! I love being around them and spending time to make sure they’re happy and safe. I currently live in Janesville but work in Mankato, so I am used to a regular commute and am able to be flexible with my breaks to care for your pets. I plan to always keep my eyes or ears on the pets at all times. I think it’s important to not keep your pets locked in a cage all day, so roaming around in a safe environment is ideal.
