“Katharine and Michael were amazing caretakers for our dog Kami! Right from the start they were very communicative and flexible for us and our dog. They sent updates on their adventures, and made Kami feel right at home. I would recommend them to everyone, and we will definitely have Kami stay with them again in the future.”
“Michelle was wonderful with Harry. She kept me updated on how he was doing with texts and photos. Harry had a great time and made a new friend, Reggie. I will definitely have Michelle watch Harry again.”
“I was so happy to have found Maria and Nayibe for my small Poo-Chon. They have a wonderful, completely dog friendly home and a beautiful fully fenced back yard. They seem to specialize in small dogs and my guy just loved running and playing in their back yard. Maria sent me daily updates and lots of photos and videos. I will definitely use Maria and Nayibe in the future for boarding my little dog.”
“Ashlee was great with my dog, Sariah! She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend, which was much appreciated. We will definitely book her again when we need a sitter.”
“We couldn't be happier with Sarah! Her and her family were incredibly reliable, warm & welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure Moose was comfortable and well-cared for. When our flight was changed last minute, Sarah was understanding and flexible. We appreciated the daily updates and so many amazing photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy Moose was during his stay. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! We will absolutely be rebooking for our next vacation.”
“Dawn and her family provided a comforting setting for our dog Astro. He was the only client they had for the stay which to us is just what he likes. He’s not much a social one, but tolerates well with other dogs if he has to! They paid Astro lots of attention when he needed it. Kept us up to date on anything that was important to tell us and sent pictures to show us he’s doing well! He’s pretty easy to take care of and not a trouble maker for anybody and he knew he was in good hands! Also, we liked that Dawn has a fenced in backyard! Big plus! Thanks again! Mike and Liz”
“Daniel and Holly took excellent care of Brooklyn for the weekend. Sometimes she takes a bit to get comfortable around other dogs but they allow each dog to determine how much or little contact they get with other pups. That was very reassuring. I would feel very comfortable boarding Brooklyn with them again.”
“Ragnar was loved and very well taken care of. We were kept up to date with photos and videos on a near daily basis. She was flexible with us on our drop off and pick up times. Thank you so much for loving on our giant baby while we were away!”
“Mindy is wonderful! My dog Jarvis was so happy staying with her. Mindy does a great job communicating updates and she was very flexible when an unexpected travel delay required me to change our pick up time. I would absolutely recommend her services!”
“Sarah had great communication both before and throughout my dog’s stay with her. Really appreciated the pics she sent and it was great being able to relax and know my pup was in good hands. Thanks so much!”
“Yolanda is our family’s go-to sitter and we wouldn’t want it any other way. We get plenty of pictures and updates, while also given our space to enjoy a trip away and know our pup is happy and safe.”
“Lillian was so great with my Gus. I got lots of videos & photos during his stay to reassure me that my pup was doing well. She took him to dog parks & on a hike & I could tell he was having a blast! Lillian was a great communicator with me and I would definitely book again!”
“Caitlin was so wonderful with Olive. She watched Olive overnight while we are out of town. We were so happy with the care she took of our girl and will deffinitly be using Caitlin again the the future! Cant recommend her enough!!”
“Janice was wonderful with our pup. He got to go on lots of walks and stay active. Communication was great and he came home happy as can be.”
“Words cannot express how wonderful Kathy and Brad are as dog sitters! We left our pup with them for the first time and got wonderful picture updates and knew she was in great hands and we didn’t worry about her one bit. Thank you again!!!!”
“I can't imagine a better place to take my pup when I go on vacation. MJ and his wife paid such great attention to Leo and his habits, and ensure that he was happy and healthy during his stay, as well as helped him acclimate to their family - I think this is the least anxious I have seen Leo without me, especially after such a long time away! I will for sure rebook in the future!”
“I've never left my dog with anyone but a family member, but when I met Nikki and her family I knew he would be in great hands and I was right. Nikki has a wonderful fenced in back yard and mentioned that with my dog being little, she is used to little dogs and would watch him while outside. We were gone for two weeks and I got daily updates and pictures of him making himself at home and it gave me such a peace of mind. Thank you so much Nikki!”
“Marina was awesome! I could tell that my dog was very comfortable around her and her family. She responds very quick and made my first time using Rover a breeze. I would book with her again in a heartbeat.”
“Rebecca did a great job with our Corgi. He loves to play and her pups and other pup guests were a good treat for him. She sent many pictures and updates during our short trip. Very thankful we found Rebecca!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I couldn’t have picked a better family to look after my 2 girls while I was out of town. Scott sent picks and videos every day while yo was gone showing how much fun they were having.”

Wauwatosa dog parents share their Rover experiences
Stajia was absolutely lovely to work with! I loved getting updates and pictures from her, and my dog looked like he was having such a fantastic time in her care! I ended up needing to extend my time, and she was so gracious to accommodate me. I will definitely be requesting her to be my dog-sitter in the future.
Leaving Zooey for the first time was very eased by knowing she was in Krystal’s care. The daily updates and photos confirmed how happy she was, and she has made permanent friends with Krystal’s two very sweet pups. It was a perfect environment for our girl, with lots of playtime and loving attention from a very caring and responsible sitter. We are so happy we found Krystal!
Our dog loves Jill! She takes great care of our dog. We love that she has a fenced yard and is home often to watch over her. I would not hesitate to use Jill again.
Tracie is a considerate and conscientious caregiver for my two older Pugs. My girls need various Eye Drops, special diet and medication’s. Tracie took good care of them and made sure that they were happy and safe. I would definitely use her again for future pet care. One thing to keep in mind is that Tracie owns a fearful dog who is uncomfortable with people visiting the house. So I was not able to see her home; I simply had to drop my girls off and pick them up in the front of her house. Everything was fine.
Our dog had great time with the owner's dog. Lots of energy and play. Cyen sent daily photos of the dogs at rest and play.
Tomah had a great time with James and his pup Huck! Will definitely have her stay with James again in the future
I couldn’t imagine a better pet sitter! We had such a great experience with Bridget. Our puppy is high energy and untrained. Bridget was understanding and patient. She went above and beyond to make sure he’d be comfortable at her house. And I got lots of updates throughout the week. 100% would request Bridget again! Thank you so much!
Love love love Mandi. She is very good with the puppies and very accommodating with Chewy insulin injections and eye drops. Love her updates and videos
Pearl seemed to have a great time with Maggie! I loved how communicative she was while I was away, and she was super flexible and kind when my travel plans went a bit haywire. I would highly recommend Maggie!
Monsserath took great care of our dog Rosie while we were on a trip! Rosie was very anxious when I first dropped her off, but Monsserath was very understanding and helped her settle in. Rosie is scared of other dogs, but Monsserath was able to accommodate that and was very kind. Monsserath does speak more Spanish than English, but between Google and other folks in the house who could help translate, I didn't see it as an issue at all. We would definitely book with her again :)
Caitlin is wonderful. She took great care of my pup while I was away for a few days. She’s very thorough, communicative, and sent pictures along the way. I would absolutely recommend Caitlin.
Jennifer took such great care of our Bernadoodle. She was well cared for, she administered her pills, and our dog was so comfortable in her home. Really appreciate her care for Blue and would use Jennifer again!
Janet and John were wonderful to work with. They took such great care of Maddie and gave consistent updates so I knew she was being well cared for!
Dottie literally runs into Sarah’s place - and she doesn’t really love anyone very quickly but they quickly made Dottie comfortable and at home super fast!! We are repeats for sure 🤍
Oliver had a wonderful time with Michelle and her family. Michelle shared a lot of photos and provided daily updates during Oliver’s stay.
Sofia was so welcoming for our Ella and so sweet! She only watched our dog for a few hours but sent multiple photos and even recommended a Spotify playlist Ella seemed to like. I wish we lived in Wisconsin because we would love to use her more often!
Erin and fam always do a great job at watching our doggo! Their dog gets along super well with Minnie, and I love seeing all of the adorable pictures that she sends during the stay. I always know that she’s in good hands here. ❤️
Lizzy was amazing! We were a bit worried as this was the first time we had been away from our puppy overnight, but she adjusted well and thoroughly enjoyed Lizzy's home. Lizzy sent great updates and was very responsive. I credit Lizzy (and Clover) with helping our puppy come a little more out of her shell with other people and animals!
