House Sitting in Angelica

About: I’ve had and been around dogs all my life, from free roaming farm dogs to the most spoiled Pomeranians. I’m the guy who has treats and a leash in his car just in case I see a loose dog running around or hear there’s one nearby. I’m the guy who will remember your dog’s name, but probably not yours. I’m the guy pet owners warn that their dog is anxious of people, only to watch their dog sense my immediate love for them. I work as a freelancer, so my availability is mostly wide open outside of some specific appointments and projects that will be noted in my profile. In your home, I will follow any patterns and schedules you request to maintain a consistent experience for your dog. I have three dogs in my home consisting of two puppies and one senior, so I will not be hosting any appointments here at this time.

“Laila was awesome! I am VERY particular with who I would leave the care to for my Chesapeake Bay Retrievers... as all of us pet owners are. So often I pass on fun places to go because I don't want to kennel my dogs. I found Laila to be communicative to let me know how the dogs were doing; i.e. sending me pics and texts periodically. I came home to a neat house and exactly the way I left it and to happy content dogs. I honestly think the dogs missed her when they realized she was gone and "Mom" was home. I cannot recommend her enough... and I know that will probably increase her unavailability for me when I need her, but she gets a 5 star plus plus plus from me... and again I am super particular with who I let walk or watch my dogs. Thank you Laila!”

“I have 2 small dogs. I was gone for a long weekend and had her come in 3-4 times a day to let the dogs out, feed them and play with them. Bri was great with the dogs. They liked her from the 1st time she came for a meet and greet. I will defiantly use her again”

“Alisha did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs in my home. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the weekend. I will be sure to use her again.”

“Tina did an amazing job! Our dogs loved hanging out with her! It was the first time we had anyone stay overnight with them and she completely put our minds at ease . She’s reliable, trustworthy, very knowledgeable, and loves your animals like her own. She’s prompt (even started early), sent lots of photos, great communication, and she did excellent with our anxious gal. We’ll definitely be in touch, for future visits!”

“Kaitlyn was our first booking through Rover, so of course this was our first experience with Kaitlyn. We most definitely would book with her again. She is a very pleasant, responsible, trustworthy person. She was easy to keep in touch with during the time she stayed with our dog, Stan, and communication beforehand was likewise easy. She gave him his pills with no issues, contacted me when he started scratching his ears, and the cleaned his ears. We like Kaitlyn very much.”

About: My family has had dogs on and off since I was a child. I’ve also been dog sitting for friends and family over the past 5 years-in many capacities: day visits, overnight, single and multiple dogs, different age ranges, breeds and dog walking. I don’t have a lot of cat sitting experience but have friends/family who have cats. I work from home 2-3 days a week, so I’m available more flexible on those days. Weekends and weeknights, I’m a bit more flexible to care for pets overnight or provide drop-ins throughout the day. I have no pets in my house, so your pet(s), will get my full attention. I don’t have a fenced in back yard but am able to use lines if needed, I also have space to kennel your pet if needed. My house is a split level, so I have stairs to get to either floor of the house. My parents do have dogs (in a different household), so if you pets don’t get along with other dogs please let me know.

About: I am from Norway, living in De Pere together with my husband and my 3 dogs. Since I am not working, I have a lot of time to take care of your pets. Always had dogs in my family. Have experience with high demand breeds like Siberian Huskies and senior dogs with health issues. Work as a volunteer at Wisconsin Humane Society. I'm currently volunteering part time at Wisconsin Humane Society and have plenty of time to take care of your dogs. Active person and available for short and long walks. My pets are part of my family. The pets will be treated as family members and receive a lot of love and care. I am hands on and very active with my dogs inside and outside.

“Kirra was great! Helped us out with a last minute request for the weekend and sent plenty of photos.”

“5 star communication- very understanding when my pup wasn’t feeling the greatest and went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable. A+++ 🫶🏼”

About: I was born into a dog family and have been exposed to animals of all sorts starting at a very young age. I have had five dogs in my life. The one that meant the most to me was the one I raised myself. Her name was angel and I started raising her when I was only eight years old. My aunt had a litter of puppies and was giving them away to family and friends, I had gotten an Angel and since then she had been my best friend. Unfortunately, she passed away when I was 19 years old due to breast cancer, but she was my responsibility throughout her lifetime. I had only gotten her when she was a few weeks old, and I had the patience and caring heart to take care of her until the day that she passed. I also had a German Shepherd, a black lab, a pitbull /basset hound mix, and a pitbull who only had three legs. Each one of these animals has had a big impact on my life. I have also had many experiences taken care of other animals besides dogs and cats, including, not limited to snakes, wildlife, fish, hamsters, gerbils, birds, etc. I take special care to each animal that is in my responsibility because I believe that each animal should have their own individual cares met, as well as their own happiness and satisfaction met in life. I work full time as a Team Lead at Paragon Community Services. I work 8am-4pm Monday-Friday with no weekends or holidays. I am available on weekends and holidays unless I am scheduled as unavailable. I am also open to evening services after work :) I will always follow the owners instructions as that is my main priority. Any directions given to me will be well followed! I know crate training, walking on leashes, how to operate bark collars, really anything you will use for your pet and if I don’t I am always able to learn!

“Stacey was great and checked in with my little dog every day at our scheduled time. She was even able to accommodate some of my elderly dogs issues which was appreciated. Thanks”

About: I am 44 years old, have 3 kids, 3 grandchildren and love animals. I have 1 dog and 3 outside cats. I would love to add other dogs to play with and teach everyday. I own my house and have ample running around space and like taking walks and going swimming with the pups. I enjoy all breeds of dogs and don't discriminate against size or age. Please help me to find some friends to get to know and play with. I am currently laid off from work and can give your animals all the attention that they would need and deserve. I also have a minivan, so transporting multiple animals isn’t a problem. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do leash in the yard and go to a spot down the road from my house that has a fenced in area for them to run with no other animals around.

“We have had several Rover pet sitters, but none as good as Jane. She is very motivated and when we had our meet and greet, she was charming!!! Holly and Henry said the same...in their own ways!”

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and have always been drawn to them. My Dad jokes that he would love to be one of my dogs because they are treated like royalty! There are always 2 to 3 dogs in my pack at all times along with 1 to 3 fosters. I have been fostering for Happily Ever After Animal Sanctuary for about 10 years now and have been walking dogs at their Sanctuary facility for almost 13. I love to be around any dog of any size, but always have a soft spot for the shy guys or trouble makers:) I feel it's my job to do what I can to restore the animals faith in humanity after it was let down by the person who was trusted to take care of them. If you have a dog or dogs who need someone to come take care of them while you are away, I would love to do so! Or if you have a long day at work and would like them to get a walk, I can do that too:) Looking forward to meeting you and your dog soon! Missy I will do my best to work your needs into my daily routine. In home care is also an option for any day of the week... I have 5 acres with a fenced in yard and 5 dogs currently living with me. There is a heated garage and greenhouse for separation if needed and I also have crates in all various sizes.

“traci took great care of our pups & house, she followed care instructions perfectly.”

“Larissa was wonderful and an absolute delight to work with!!! Her knowledge and confidence in handling dog's was definitely proven in her first encounter with our brood. She contacted immediately when a situation arose to make sure we were kept in the loop which we greatly appreciated. To find someone who can handle our foursome is a rarity and she surpassed all our expectations. We will absolutely be using Larissa again in the future.”

About: I’m a life long lover of all animals, who has turned my passion into a full-time career. My experience spans from dogs, cats, small animals (e.g. ferrets), reptiles, small farm animals and horses. Before adding my services to Rover I have house sat at barns, taking care of multiple types of different animals in addition to watching the house for 7+ days. I've grown up with dogs my whole life leading me to participate in multiple puppy classes from vet centers and certified training facilities from a young age. Naturally, this had then led me to work professionally with dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and needs while getting comfortable with different harnesses and collars. I understand the importance of honoring body language for non-verbal communication, being conscious of meals + medication and how to maneuver in/out of doors/gates without escapes. My top priority is making sure the health, safety and comfortability of all animals is met to the highest standard. I do have reliable transportation for any emergencies as well and stress that I will not leave your pet until the situation is fully handled. As a calm, level headed and experienced individual, I strive to provide your animal with compassionate care through reliability, consistency, transparency, safety, dedication, and being detail orientated. I have a flexible schedule due to being self employed. My career is focused around feeding horses and training which leaves me with room to attend to the care for other clients animals. When it comes to taking care of someone else's animal, I believe a discussion about what is expected (e.g. feeding times) is vital to quality care first. In addition to meeting all basic needs, I will love the animal as if they were my own!

About: Since I was one month old, I’ve been around animals. I treat them with respect, love, boundaries and instinct. They’re family, and should be treated as such :) I run my own business and make my own schedule, so animal care will be around your schedule. I would ensure your pet’s routines are accommodated. My house and yard are over 3 acres. if there’s a way in which we can care for your pet here, we will and will be quite happy

“Ava was great with my dogs. She made sure to stick to their routines that they are used to!! Communicated with me and kept me informed about their days! Thanks Ava.”
