“I reached out to Carissa on short notice and she took both of my dogs in. One of my dogs is scared of everyone and she didn’t let that stop her. They both came home TIRED! Thank you Carissa! Will be coming to her again!”


“Lynn & her husband were a hospitable, kind and wonderful environment for our senior dog to leave in during a vacation. We did a meet & greet and I could tell that they were dog lovers and had a kind attitude towards dogs. They also made sure that our dog was not alone at all due to their sensitive and kind attitude. I would highly recommend them for your dog care.”


“We will definitely request Braydon to watch our dogs in the future. He communicated very well, and id he had a question, he asked it. We had Braydon come to our home. It was so nice to come home, and have everything look the same. Our dogs were happy and safe. Thanks Braydon!”


“Our pups stayed with Lesleigh and her family for a long weekend while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and pictures, and both of our dogs clearly had a great time and were well-loved while we were gone. When our return flight was cancelled and we were delayed 24 hours, she was super accommodating. We were stressed out about getting home, but at least we didn't have to worry about our dogs. We would absolutely book with her again.”


About: I have worked with and cared for animals since I was 12 for fitness and family. I have always grown up with animals of all kinds. I have trained all my dogs I’ve had myself. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as dogs with behaviors such as reactivity. I work in a school during the school year and can come those days before 10 and after 2:30. Summers I have plenty of time to spend and play with your fur babies. Weekends I am pretty busy but can make time to spend with your pets. I have a big 4 acre yard with the ability to crate or leash your dog if needed. I have two cats in my home and my family has 3 dogs in their home on the property. I am willing to work on training and work around a feeding schedule if needed. I am very flexible and am willing to do what will make your pet the most happy.

“This was a last-minute booking and my first time leaving my cat, so I was super nervous. Katie was really reassuring and said she’s worked with nervous cats before, which made me feel a lot better. Plus, she has the sweetest and friendliest cat, which was a big bonus for me!”


About: I have always had multiple dogs growing up and have been a main caretaker and trainer for them. I also have been responsible for taking care of extended family dogs. I love cats as well and would be happy to take care of them as well. I am working this summer full-time 9-5 in fish creek, with free time to take care of and walk dogs after work! During school year I am a student at UW-Eau Claire with a good amount of free time to check in and care for dogs as well as walk them. I’d be able to stay nights at my clients houses if needed and make many trips over when needed to let them go to the bathroom or give them some needed excercise. I’d also be happy to spend time with them so they’re not lonely

About: I grew up on a farm. We had many cats and dogs thru out the years. I've had dog sat my friends and families dogs I do have a full time job during the week. We do have 2 wiener dogs. I am home on the weekends. Your pets would get lot of love and affection I do have a big back yard. I live on a dead end road that makes it easy to give dogs walks. I do put my dogs in my laundry room when I'm not home

“Thank you Madison and Nathan for the best experience. I had never heard of Rover. A friend gave me the information and said they had used the service in the past with great satisfaction. I was skeptical, but within moments a few dog sitters in the Chippewa Fallls area responded. I chose Madison and Nathan, and they were exactly like their advertisement. They made the whole process so easy and comfortable. I was put at instant ease upon metting them and their 6 months old pup. Our puppies hit it off instantly and I knew our Frankie, 4 mo old, Boxer, would be in heaven with a buddy to play with. They kept Frsnkie overnight as we needed to stay in a hotel that did not accept pets, for my daughter's softball tournament. They sent a pic and updates, so I knew all was well. I could not recommend higher. These two were amazing. Thank you.for making yourselves available on such sort notice. Best, The Mathies Family”


“Jessica was such a joy to work with from start to finish! She was flexible with our schedule, sent us updates/pictures throughout our dog’s stay, and clearly took great care of our dog. She is very kind and upbeat. We look forward to booking with her again!”


“8 paws way up!! My 2 dogs would highly recommend Chris and his crew for wearing them out and play, play, playing! Large fenced in yard and other dogs to socialize with - June and Carter will be visiting again!”

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!

“Vera is an exceptional dog sitter. I have a little dog that often gets nervous and anxious around new situations but he warmed right up to her. She sent me pictures and checked in and he was obviously well cared for and had lots of cuddles. The only reason I would not recommend Vera is she would become very busy and I wouldn't be able to hire her again! I do highly recommend her and will reach out again when her services are needed.”


About: Pet’s have been a huge part of my life since I was born. Helping friends and family out with dog sitting, and walking I am there. I’m currently a student looking to be there to help with your schedule and take care of your fur babies. I’m available after 2pm Monday, Wednesday, and the weekends. Following what a client wants for their animal is huge. Making a pet feel comfortable in their own home is made for success. The pet is the number one priority for me.

Delaney B.
“Delaney is a pet-lover to the fullest extent. She is kind and responsive, which is more than appreciated when she dogsits for me. She has cared for my VERY energetic German Shorthair/Lab on multiple occasions, and is great about sending photo updates. She is always on time and is great at taking special requests (such as specific food times, walk schedules, etc) 11/10 would recommend her to care for your fur baby.”
