“Nahla is always happy and well-loved when she stays with Amanda and her family. They are very attentive to her needs as a senior dog. She gets wonderful care!”


“My dog Kylo stayed with Kim and her family for the first time for about a week, and although it’s always a little nerve-wracking leaving him with a new sitter, especially for an extended length of time, Kim was gracious and communicative before and during my trip. She sent photos and even reached out when he had some tummy issues so we could help him feel well again. I’m truly grateful to have found her and will definitely book with her again.”


“Molly was great. The dogs seemed to have had a good time, and she was very attentive to whatever they needed. She sent pics of them and kept me updated. I will def use her again.”


“Andy was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog, who has a few health issues and can be a bit antisocial at times. He was incredibly patient, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs who need a little extra care and understanding. My pup has pancreatitis and a strict medication and feeding schedule, and Andy followed everything thoroughly—sending daily updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. He really respected my dog’s boundaries while still giving him plenty of comfort, which is not an easy balance to strike. I could tell he took the time to learn my dog’s quirks and adjust to his needs, which made all the difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again—highly recommend if you are looking for a thoughtful caregiver for your pet! I will definitely be reaching out to Andy to watch my pup again in the future!”


About: I am a recent graduate from UWEC and am looking to take hang out with your furry companions! My family has always had pets and being far away makes me miss them dearly. I currently work part time and am available every weekend to help with your pets. I typically don’t work Tuesdays during the week as well. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex. I am right next to an exit so easy access to the outside! I am near a trail where I can take pets on walks!

“Kasey was very thorough with meeting my dog prior to his stay and making sure his stay would go as smoothly as possible. While we were gone she was so thoughtful in sending messages and pics letting me know how well he was doing. He came home happy, tired and well-cared for. I would certainly use Kasey again in the future for our dogsitting needs! Thanks Again!”


About: I have grown up in a family that has always had 2+ dogs! Dogs are really my best mates that i can cry to feel for. I will make sure dogs behave and dont misbehave. I have gone through two dog training classes with my pups that I believe my skills will help other dogs as well I currently work full time but when I get home, the first thing on my to-do list is to take care of my fur babies. Spending time with them after work from walks to snuggles is my favorite part of the day! i have leashes that will be available to assure that I am able to have your pets in my site at all times! I will make sure that nothing happens to an animal that is not mine!

“Tyler and Caitlin are gold star sitters! They have watched our dog many times and I always trust them to take great care. They are communicative and treat our dog like she’s a member of their family while she’s there.”


About: I grew up showing my family dogs in 4-H shows and now have my own golden retriever at home. Looking to love on some more pets! Teacher SUMMER mode is in full swing so I am available during weekdays and weekends. Willing to set up a regular schedule with your pet! I have 75 pound dog of my own that I can keep ahold of walking. I’ve managed many pets of all sizes over the last three years on Rover with varying levels of need.

About: I have had dogs, cats, and a variety of small pets in my home all my life, and have 8 years of experience in pet sitting. I am a Lead Animal Caregiver at Dunn County Humane Society, and I have been caring for the dogs, cats and the occasional small animals there for the last 5 years. Additionally, I have experience in pet sitting bearded dragons, snakes, exotic fish, exotic cats, donkeys, sheep, rodents, and chickens. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy with years of animal experience, I hope you’ll consider me a good fit for taking care of your pets! I currently work full-time at the humane society, so I am best fit for your pets that need someone for feeding, cleaning, walks, or potty breaks. I would make sure your pets get their necessary resources (food and water), clean any messes or litter boxes, pick up fecal matter in the yard, administer any medication needed (oral or injectable), and get some energy out with some play time.

“Jason was so attentive to our senior dog during her stay with him and made sure she got the walks, medication, and love she needed. He was flexible for our needs with pickup and drop off and kept us updated with photos the entire stay. I can tell when she is stressed at the end of a boarding stay and this was not the case when she was with Jason. We picked up a happy pup! Will definitely be booking with him in the future.”


“Sarah was super flexible with us. She seemed comfortable with a larger dog, and sent a picture and update to let us know everything was going well. We hope to use her again in the future.”


“Katie is Super nice! Loved getting a few photos during our absence. You can tell Katie is an animal lover. Very kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable about dogs! Thank you Katie! Owen misses you!”
