“Sarah helped us when we were in a last minute bind and boy did she make sure our small zoo was well taken care of. She was very responsive and sent so many pictures and updates on our babies while we were away! We will definitely be using her in the future!”


About: I used to be a nanny for kids but they had a great Dane pup (8 months) that I also took care of with zero experience so I had to learn fast I work quite a bit but would love to fill up my spare time by taking care of some babies!! Please reach out for any care you need!! If wanted/okay I can bring my pup to keep your pup/pups company to your home! With my delivery job I always carry extra treats, I also tend to have a problem with spoiling!

“She did a wonderful job of keeping me informed and making my fur babies comfortable while I was away.”


“My wife and I had Becky watch our house and dog for a week while we were out of state, and we couldn't be happier with her services! Our dog takes a while to warm up to new people, but she gave us plenty of updates which put our minds at ease, and she was very professional. We had zero concerns while we were away, and we'll definitely try to book Becky in the future if we need a dog/house sitter. Thanks Becky!”


“Mellisa is an over-achieving dog sitter, who wouldn’t want that! She engaged with our two 5 month pups the whole time and tuckered them out. She sent a handful of photos and a summary of their time together which gave us joy and peace of mind. Highly recommend!”


About: Throughout my 18 years, I had 5 dogs all Chihuahuas. They were definetly harder to take care of and train. My recent dog passed away 2 years ago due to skin cancer. I wasn't sure what to make of it. I knew he wasn't going to make it but I still continued to attempted to feed him, clean his sore on his nose and get him diapers to use the bathroom in. When he left, I had a void as if I was missing something. I began dog sitting for a close friend in the beginning of 2025, I realized that I enjoyed being surrounded by animals to comfort me. It makes me feel like I have a friend again. I treated them like they were my own. I followed the schedules and instructions that were given to me and tried to make sure that I was doing everything correctly. I asked questions before and during the pet care to make sure the pet felt safe as if there parents were taking care of them. In the summer, I will be enrolled in a Nursing Assistant course, however, it will only be for 4-5 hours 2 times every week. I am a college student so I will try to be getting as much money as I can to help me achieve my future goals and career. However, I will mostly be free throughout the afternoon and night to achieve the needs of my employer. In my clients home, I will try my best to offer what I can in cases of safety in the environment. If the client doesn't want their cat to be wondering outside then I will try my best to keep them inside. While walking the dog, I will try my best to be patient until they pee or poop. I will try to follow what's best on the schedule for the clients pets.

“Tsewang was so great! We were from out of town and needed a sitter while out for a family party. She was very responsive, on time and dogs immediately loved her! Will be booking her again when we’re back in Wausau 😊”


About: I have a lot of experience caring for different types of animals, including reptiles, cats, and dogs. I'll make sure your four-legged friend feels comfortable, gets plenty of snuggles, has room to roam, and receives quality care. I love animals and spend the majority of my time working from home and caring for my pets. I am available to care for animals nearly 24/7 without interruption and have the freedom to spend time with the pets in my care. I have a two-acre country yard that is unfenced. Dog owners may bring invisible radius fences to use in my yard, or dogs can be leashed or put on runner if needed. If desired by the owner, dog crates can be used if provided. I have a large space for cats to remain undisturbed by household activities and pets.

“1st time having someone other then family watch our doggies. Josh made everything easy and was perfect with our dogs. They loved him. Josh sent us pictures while we were away and it just made us at ease. He communicated fast. Will honestly ask him again in the future.”


“Amy was just what we needed for Molly and Arthur! She stayed with them for the whole time we were gone. She’s incredibly intuitive of their personalities and what they need almost immediately! She’s totally focused on our babies needs, playing, exercising and most importantly loving them! We don’t expect newbie’s to be able to walk them both but she volunteered and accomplished it with no problem! Great example of excellent experience we highly recommend!!! Love you Amy! Thank you!”


About: I walk, feed, bathe, play, and always give pups lots of attention! Dogs are my favorite and I always enjoy making new dog friends. I enjoy every little thing I get to do with dogs. I don’t work many hours during the week. I am available most days of the week so I am always able to watch dogs when needed. I am home every night so I can watch them overnight. I have a very friendly puppy who loves other dogs and can be around multiple dogs. I always make sure that anyones dog is in a safe environment. I hardly ever leave them unattended and unsupervised. We go for walks very often when it is nice out. I take my puppy outside to go potty at least once an hour if not more. I always make sure everyone is fed and happy.

Wausau pet parents share their Rover experiences
Watched all four of our dogs over night, they all loved her. Showed up on time. Was very detailed oriented, paid attention to all our dog’s needs. And sent photos of our dogs throughout the day. She was also available to text for check ins. Would have her watch our dogs again, we were able to leave town with peace of mind that our dogs were well cared for.

Sarah helped us when we were in a last minute bind and boy did she make sure our small zoo was well taken care of. She was very responsive and sent so many pictures and updates on our babies while we were away! We will definitely be using her in the future!

Kaitlyn was awesome and my dogs loved her! She was great at giving updates, sending pictures, and being patient with their different food and medication needs.

We left Nicole with six dogs and three cats. Some require meds or have other needs. She did a wonderful job! We got pictures with each visit and we came home to happy and safe fur- babies. Thank you, Nicole!
