“Thank you for watching our two young basset hounds. We were able to go golfing on our door County vacation thanks to Julie. She sent regular photos and updates which I highly appreciated.”
About: I have never NOT had dogs in my life. My entire childhood included dogs. It was our German Shepherd, Dolly, who helped me learn to walk. As an adult, I have always had a fur baby or two. My current job provides me with open weekends. With my family now living out of the area, I have great availability, as well as flexibility. Whether it’s playtime or cuddles, I will do whatever it takes to make your dog(s) happy and provide you with peace of mind and no worries.
“Melissa was a wonderful sitter for my Joey. She communicated frequently and timely, sent pictures and most of all, Joey seemed very comfortable in her lovely home. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life and caring for them has always been a natural part of who I am. From dogs and cats to small animals and farm pets, I’ve gained hands-on experience through years of personal ownership and deep love for animals. In 2021, I began offering professional pet care services, including walking, boarding and drop-in visits. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide range of pets—each with their own personality, needs and quirks. Today, I specialize in doggy day care and basic obedience training, focusing on safe, structured, and enriching experiences for every dog in my care. Whether it’s helping a pup burn energy in a positive environment or working on manners and foundational skills, I’m committed to making each visit fun, safe and stress-free—for both dogs and their humans. I am Dog CPR + First Aid Certified. I also practice Animal Reiki that has many benefits for any animal! Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily life and I’ve structured my week to ensure I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday: I’m available starting at 2:30 PM or later, perfect for afternoon training sessions or evening daycare. Thursday, Friday and Sunday: I’m available all day, offering flexible booking for doggy day care and training, including early morning or mid-day sessions. I currently balance pet care with a second job, but once I’m available, my focus is fully on your pet’s safety, comfort and routine. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. Your pets safety is my top priority! I strive to build a bond not only with your pet but also with you by maintaining open communication and providing updates for every visit. You can count on me to treat your pets as if they were my own, with patience, kindness and lots of love.
About: A Home Away from Home for Your Beloved Pet Animals have always been at the center of my life. I’m the kind of person you’ll see pulled over on the side of the road, coaxing a frightened or injured animal to safety. Caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's who I am. When one of my dogs developed severe arthritis and could no longer enjoy walks, I repurposed a wagon and some old downhill skis into a sled so she could still take in the fresh air and sights of winter. That’s the kind of care and creativity I bring to every animal in my life. Your pet will be treated like family here. Whether they’re most comfortable relaxing in a private room or hanging out with the rest of us in the house, we make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. If your pet prefers some solo R&R, we absolutely respect that too. For peace of mind, I use a pet camera so I can keep an eye on things throughout the day—and I’m happy to share photos and updates with you during their stay. With hands-on experience in animal shelters, rescues, and private training facilities, I’m confident working with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My background has also given me extensive knowledge of animal health, medications, and disease management. If your pet requires medication or has special health needs, you can trust that they’re in capable hands. Additional Experience & Amenities: Certified in Animal CPR and Basic Life Support (BLS) Experienced with grooming basics including ear cleaning and nail trimming Fully fenced-in yard for safe playtime Mini pet pool and lots of toys for enrichment in warmer months Important Notes: All pets must be up-to-date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention (during summer) We require a meet-and-greet before your pet's stay to ensure a good fit for everyone Please let us know if your pet has any behavioral issues (around food, toys, or beds) or requires a specific medication or feeding routine We’re so excited to meet you and your furry friend—and to provide them with the love, care, and comfort they deserve! Thank you! I work full-time but come home for lunch. So your pet wouldn't wait more than 4 hours to be let out. We spend alot of time outside, like to go for walks or just relax in the backyard. I have a large fenced in backyard providing lots of room to run and play. I have a entire room dedicated to the pets that stay over if they need some quiet alone time. They are welcome to be in the house with the rest if my family but have the option to have their space as well.
“Mackenzie was the absolute perfect dog sitter for our sweet Maverick! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. It was clear she loved and cared for him as if he were her own, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away at the Packers game. She kept us updated with pictures and made sure Maverick had everything he needed — including lots of love and snuggles! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and who truly loves animals. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy!”

“Isaiah is a very knowledgeable and nurturing dog sitter. He handled my rambunctious pup with expert care, and his dog Finley graciously scaled down his play to match my wee one. Would highly recommend for walking, watching, or boarding.”
About: With my vast experience of animals, I’ve handled pet sitting jobs from small and large dogs to Siamese cats to hamster care! Along with pet sitting, I have a great amount of experience volunteering in animals shelters and fostering dogs. My flexible schedule will allow me to tailor the best customized care according to you and your pet’s needs. My love for animals shines through in every interaction, and I can't wait to become your trusted pet sitter or dog walker! Feel free to message me with any questions! -Sam I do work a 9-5 schedule. My current availability ranges from Monday through Friday (mornings and evenings) with the availability of some weekends for pet setting! I do live in an apartment building so any potty breaks at my home will include a leashed walk near my building. We do have many grassy areas with a trail nearby as well.
About: Hello! Welcome to your little pup’s home away from home! I will treat each pup like my own! I've been a dog owner since I was a child and have watched many dogs over the last 20 years.

“Stefanie was wonderful to work with during setting up a meet and greet and during the day care. Communication was excellent a s very prompt. Sent pictures throughout the stay, which we greatly enjoyed. Additional bonus she came to our house to pick up and drop off our dog to make our travel easier. We will definitely be using her again”
About: We have experience with aggressive dogs, training dogs, administering medication, excellent communication, attention to detail, and lots of love in whatever way best suits the pet! Starting August 1st I will be around the house just leaving to get kids from school M-F. My husband works from home and we have 3 responsible teenagers that assist (14,16,17) your pets will always have someone around and attending to their needs. I have a fenced yard, a 5 year old husky mix who is super submissive and gentle, a cat who can handle himself and will either play with your dog or hide and watch from a safe distance :). We have had fosters before and if there is any cat to have around your dog it’s him! We love going for walks, playing fetch, tug of war, walks, or just cuddles! Whatever your animal is up for!
About: I grew up with dogs around and found my soul mate dog in my early twenties. I rescued her from the humane association and we took classes on becoming a therapy dog. She passed too soon from an autoimmune disease about a year and a half ago. I miss having a dog to walk and spend time with. I hope to have a chance to spend time with yours! I work a very flexible hybrid schedule close to home. I am traditionally in the office Wednesday through Friday. My work days can be between 8am and 5pm. I have a fully fenced in backyard with area to roam. I have dog beds, a crate, and toys. I will treat your pet like my own and provide them with support, encouragement, and care!
About: I have taken care of a multitude of breeds since i was a child. I have experience with giving and applying medication. I am comfortable with handling puppies to older dogs. I'm avaliable in the am and very flexible and can work with your needs. I do work from home which gives me adequate time for your fur babies. I do have a small yard that your pet can run around in and play. There are two nearby dog parks and i go on daily walks with my dogs. I have 2 toy poodles which are very sweet and they love to play.
About: I'm a 26yo who has owned cats and dogs my entire life. Currently, I'm the parent of a very energetic husky and 2 cats. I am very active and athletic, so keeping up with a dog's energy is second nature. I love taking my pup for runs, walks, swims, and play time at the dog park. He loves to play with other dogs and can be a playmate if you wanted. I have over 20 years experience in personally caring for animals: including feeding, changing litter boxes, play time, cleaning messes, administration first aid and medications, IV injections, and keeping an eye for unusual behavior. I am caring for an animal every day of the week. I can fit in a lot given my flexible work schedule and ability to travel. Everyone has different standards for pet care, and I am open to adapting and curating care based on individuals and pet needs. I can be a great service in keeping your pet active when needed, and to help keep them calm when necessary. I know socializing and connecting are a huge need to properly care for animals, so as an animal lover I always try to find a connection with the animals I care for

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Algoma commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 78 sitters in Algoma, 90% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
