“Michelle walked our dog every week right after we brought our new baby home. Not only did she do a great job exercising our energetic German short-haired pointer, she was also this little spark of warmth and joy during the quick conversations at doggy picked up and dropped off. We’ll definitely look to her again if we need additional help with the dog.”

“Allison by far exceeded our expectations as a dog walker. We were a little nervous as this was our first time going through the app, but she made the process painless and eased our concerns by her professionalism. At the meet and greet she took detailed notes about our dogs behaviors, triggers, likes/dislikes, daily routine, and asked all the important questions regarding their care. It was comforting to know that she took the time to learn everything about our pups and listened intently about their care instructions. We were very pleased with her services and would definitely recommend her to all new/potential dog parents who are in need of someone reliable and trustworthy to take care of their fur babies. We will definitely try to use Allison’s services in the future!”

“Donna took such good care of my 4-month old puppy and even sent photos to show me he was happy and having fun! This was my first time using Rover and I’m so grateful to Donna for making this a great experience. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have two dogs that I raised and trained from puppies. As a teacher, I can understand how hard it is to have a full time job and have dogs at home waiting on you to come home! I am available on weekdays before 5pm. I find it important to be about 15 min away from the animal- that way I can check in as often as needed and not worry about a lengthy commute. My dogs at home are my entire world!! I am so grateful for the people how have been able to check in or take care of them when I have work or need to go out of town. I’d love to be that person for you!
“Sarah was great! Super friendly, responsible, sweet, and an obvious animal lover. We are lucky to have found her to help us with our dog, Pax!”

About: Hello! Throughout my childhood I have loved and cared for our family’s cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes. Currently, I have two dogs- a Bassett hound and German Shepard mix. We love to go on walks, cuddle, and wrestle. I work in healthcare and am comfortable caring for all living things. I work 3-4 days per week. During the week, I am available after 2:30pm. Some Fridays, I’m available all day. Just ask me about weekends! My schedule changes week to week so please don’t hesitate to ask. Our dogs love to go on walks and then lay in the sunshine for a good coat and teeth brushing. At our home, we have an underground fence that has worked very well for the moderate prey drive temperament of our dogs. For walks, we use a harness and a gentle leader. We enjoy taking our dogs on Wisconsin road trips. This past winter we went to the UP for snowshoeing- the dogs love hoping through the snow.
About: Hi, I'm Meghan! I grew up on a farm, so knowing the responsibility of caring for animals is of great importance to me. I grew up with dachshunds and German Shepherds, so I have experience in caring for both big and small dog breeds. I really love animals, so much so that I almost became a vet. By caring for others' animals, it allows me to get in touch with my passion for furry friends! I have also had a nearly blind dog, who I'd have to prescribe eye drops to, and a dachshund whose back legs no longer worked, so I do have experience in working with animals with disabilities as well. I look forward to assisting you with your furry friends! I work full-time at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, but I work remotely on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays and am usually able to step away to take your furry friend for a walk or just to check in. I'm usually very flexible to others needs. Growing up with dogs definitely instilled a lot of responsibility for me. I always ensure that the animals were fed in the mornings and evenings, and got their mid-day treat. I would help bathe them if they got dirty, and brush them when their coats get a little out of control. I would also take them for daily walks, or just throw the ball around to them. I will also always supply snuggles!

I truly appreciate her commitment to providing excellent care.”
12. Anna T.
“Anna is a fun loving person who is a natural with pets! She is amazing at training and caring for animals (all kinds!). My high energy Border/Healer is sometimes too smart for his own good :) Anna is excellent at meeting his needs and keeping him happy and entertained while making sure he minds his manners. I can also attest to Anna's abilities with slower, calmer pets since she took very good care of our old dog: lots of attention and TLC. She's cat crazy too and loves talking about her fur baby, Bongo :) I would highly recommend her services!”

That’s why he signed up as a host on Rover so that he can not only help others with their pet caring but also find Meta some good friends!”

18. Meghan O.
“There are few people I have met who care about and love animals as much as Meghan. She is experienced in many different pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and even some farm animals! Meghan helped us when we got our new puppy by spending time with the puppy while I worked. Our dog still loves when Meghan comes over and we joke that our dog must have imprinted on Meghan in those early weeks. Meghan is very punctual and very responsive. There are few people I’ve met who care for animals with the same love and dedication as Meghan. She has experience with a wide range of pets—including dogs, cats, rabbits, and even some farm animals. When Meghan is with animals, they seem to naturally gravitate toward her. When we brought home our new puppy, Meghan was a lifesaver. She spent time with her while I was at work, giving her the love, attention, and care she needed during those early weeks. To this day, our dog lights up when she walks through the door. We always joke that she must have imprinted on Meghan! Meghan is punctual, reliable, and responsive, which will give you so much peace of mind while you are away from your pet. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced to care for their pets.”
