“Cilyr is a dog whisperer. They have been working with our dog to get him to willingly step into his harness and after a month of patient practice it happened today! Thank you for taking such great care of Irv!”
About: Hello my name is Candida (Candi). I have worked in and with Rescues and Humane Societies throughout the State of WI over the last 30 years. I currently have 4 dogs and live out in the country with lots of room to run. I am very familiar with different behavior issues as well as how to work with your pets to get through those issues. This experience comes from fostering many high risk animals over the years. Your pet will be treated the same in my home as he/ she is treated in your home. If they go on your furniture, they are welcome on mine, etc. I am always willing to go the extra mile, if your pet needs a bath or a nail clip, I am happy to do that. I have experience with training, CPR, Giving Meds both by mouth and shot. Some of my friends lovingly call me the crazy dog lady because of my deep love for dogs, they have feelings and emotions just as we do and I always take that into consideration when caring for them. Given the opportunity I will show you that you can trust me to care for your baby while you are away just as you care for them when you are home. I currently work part time at my own small business so my schedule is super flexible and can be easily worked around your needs. This gives me the flexibility to give your pet all the time and attention they need while in my care. I have four dogs that are the sweetest babies. They get along great with all animals as well as kids. I do not have a fenced yard as we live on 80 acres out in the country, but I do have a portable temporary fencing that can be put up for outside time. We have a large area in the lower level of our home for inside play time. As I said earlier, when your pet is in my home, they will be treated just as they are when they are with you. I know how important routine is to their little minds. If you feed at a certain time, I will follow that routine. I know mine have a very set routine, they surely know when dinner time is. :o)
“We have a reactive dog that needs time, space and discipline. Sidney is very friendly, understanding and willing to work with us to make our pup comfortable. We are happy to book her again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience as a dedicated dog foster. I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Fostering has taught me how to read dog body language, build trust quickly, and create a calm, loving environment where every pup feels safe and cared for. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some extra snuggles, I treat every dog like they're my own. Dog care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and live an active lifestyle. I’m able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day, with regular walks, playtime, and potty breaks. Whether it’s a quick cuddle or an afternoon stroll, your pup will be part of my everyday rhythm. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. In my home, pets have a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of attention and supervised play. In client homes, I treat their space with respect and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure while sticking to their normal routine.
About: I have had one dog for 4+ years, and another dog for 2+. I have dedicated a lot of my life since getting my two dogs as far as training them, taking them on long walks, playing with them, and most importantly, loving them and giving them all the attention they need and deserve. I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of dogs because I currently do not have another job! I prefer to work early in the morning/afternoon. At my home, there is a lot of space for my doggies to run around because there is a park right outside my door which is great! They also have their own play space inside.
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. My kids are grown and have pets of their own who love their g-ma . I have taken care of all sizes and ages of pets over the years. Friends and family have relied on on me to walk feed and most importantly love their pets over the years I currently work flexible part time hours. I Have plenty of free time to work around any schedule. 7 days a week all year around! I will care for your pets as you wish. Keep them on their regular routine and schedule according to your wishes to keep them safe and feeling secure while you are away
About: I would love the opportunity to care for your pet, as I have 18 years of experience in animal care, training, socializing and grooming. I have worked with puppies and kittens, to large animals such as cattle and horses. I promise to provide emotional support, understanding, lots of playtime/ potty breaks, and a safe, calm environment for your pets. I currently work part time as a caregiver for the elderly. When I have time off, I love to spend it with my dogs and my horses. I plan to have a few days open weekly for pet care as I transition into a full time position for animal caretaking. Pets in my home have free range for activities, allowing them to express themselves at all times. Pets in my care will never be crated unless stated by the owner. I will abide by feeding times and rules set by owner, and will contact owner with questions or concerns. I will always maintain a safe and uplifting environment for pets, that includes lots of cuddles and free range on couches if that is a safe space for them. I am flexible with requests or special cares.
About: I’ve worked at Feeder’s Supply, where I cared for a variety of animals and regularly bathed dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My experience there helped me build strong skills in animal handling and care. I’ve also owned many types of pets over the years and currently have two cats of my own. Whether it’s feeding, walking, bathing, or just giving them love and attention, I’m passionate about making sure every animal feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently spend most of my time caring for my daughter and cats, but am looking to share my love with other animals in need of care while their parents are busy! This can include regular services Monday to Saturday between 8:15 am and 4:45 pm; if you need something outside of this, message me and we’ll see what we can work out! For dogs, any equipment must be provided by you to ensure I am using leashes, toys, etc. that fit your pet and they are comfortable with. For cats, I can provide a cat harness or stroller to take them outside in a controlled environment for extra enrichment. I also have a set of cat toys to bring if needed.
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, bunnies - you name it. I love animals & have experience caring for and spending time with plenty. Coming from an owner, I know our pets are our family and deserve the best care & fun! I am a student who also works first shift but has availability before and after!

Communication is great - shoot me a message and I can accommodate!
About: Hi my name is Mackenzie, growing up my family has always had dogs. Growing up in the country, stray animals tend to show up sometimes and my dad was a softie for a fluffy face. Working full time doesn't allow me to spend the time needed to train and take care of a dog, so I'd love to meet yours instead! Proud cat mom for over 8 years but grew up loving dogs. I work fulltime as a nurse and don't have time for caring for a dog so let me play with yours! I normally work 3 days a week so am flexible on when I can walk and play. I have two cats who love dogs. They frequently play with my siblings animals whenever around. My one cat even walked up to a stranger walking their dog down the street. He's always looking for a new friend !
“I felt Riley was in the best care with Brooke! He loves his walks with her and Denali. She is very fast on responding and very good with dogs in need like Riley with her nursing background. Will definitely be a repeating customer”

I also groom Saturdays 10 to 4. The rest of the time I can dedicate to making your pet(s) feel as comfortable and happy as possible! I will always treat your dogs like they are my own with lots of love and care. I have a lot of experience with different personalities and temperaments of dogs, so I am able to provide the most appropriate care for your dog.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10. My family has a doodle and I grew up with him. I graduated last year and I started raising a golden retriever. Her name is Yumi and she is 8 months old now. She has a great personality and there is no dog she can not get along with! I worked at home on weekends and I'm mostly available on holidays. Weekday schedule depends on my research and class schedule. I'm pretty flexible and open to same-day reservations. I have a dog-proofed apartment. If you have a puppy who is not fully house-trained I will be able to take care of him/her. Dogs are allowed on couches and their beds.
About: I've taken care of many dogs and even more cats over the last 38 years. I love them and will love yours like my own. Semi retired looking forward to helping people out.

About: I’m a school counselor (on hiatus) stay at home mom. I have 29+ years of experience pet sitting (starting when I was 8), with 15 of those years being professional dog handling when I used to help raise and train guide dogs for blind people. I have been using a similar dog boarding app for the last few years so I’m starting fresh on Rover but I assure you I’m experienced. I have a friendly pet dog and chickens. What can I offer? I can board your dog at my home or do home visits. I can help with minor dog training. And I’m experienced in several other animals. I have a fenced yard. I’m comfortable with big dogs and dogs with behavioral challenges (case by case). I’ve rescued 4 Rottweilers in the past with unique behavior issues. Why me? I’m particularly in-tune to animal needs, especially when their owners are away. I send lots of pictures and do what I can to keep them comfy. Your privacy is important to me. I respect the vulnerability of letting a “stranger” into your home or being responsible to keep your pet safe. Let’s discuss what I can do for you and your pet. Use this promo code to give pet owners new to Rover $20 off their first booking. Your Promo Code: LINDSS45396 I’m home during the day. Your dog becomes part of my “pack” during their stay, built around their comfort level. I have one pet dog and 2 small kids. Sometimes I have other boarded dogs but I’ll always confirm with both dogs’ families before I book an overlap. I have an infant and toddler that typically travel to gigs with me. Unless I can get my husband to take them after work hours. And two step daughters age 9&10. I put your pets needs as a priority, so if your pet isn’t fond of children, I won’t let my kids bug them. Boarding: dogs spend their stay in the ground floor of my home which is a large space with backyard access. We have a fenced yard. I do require your dog to be crated when I leave the home to run errands. This is for their safety and comfort. If you don’t want your dog interacting with mine, I am experienced in keeping dogs separate and safe. I’ve boarded/sat at least 100 dogs and I’ve never had any issues. Sitting: I can do the basics such as feeding and potty and meds. Plus, I can take your dog for walks or play in your yard. If you prefer, after all your pets cares are complete, I can arrange to bring my computer and work my remote job at your home for a couple hours a day to spend time with your pet. Or watch a movie with them.
About: I have patience. I have worked in a group home and as a job coach for people with special needs. I have always had pets in my home i,e, dogs, cats, gerbils, fish, Chinchilla, and outdoor rabbits. I grew up with pets always around. I have time during the weekday to be able to walk your dogs. I like taking walks during the day and would like to walk them on a continual basis. I walk, feed and care for my dog everyday.I think it's important for dogs to get exercise everyday and on a regular basis if possible.
About: I have started my animal career at pet resorts as an animal caretaker, while progressing to grooming dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments! I studied animal science for one year in college, before deciding to work full time as a groomer. I have had plenty of experience in training dogs, as I have trained two certified service dogs through Custom Canines Service Dog Academy in Madison. When taking care of your furry friend, I will treat them as my own pup! I can also offer nail trims, baths, and light trimming on a case by case basis :) I am working towards getting my dog training certification, so I am looking for a part time job and hands-on hours to sit for the CDPT-KA exam! I will strive to create a safe and comfortable environment with all pups and take extra time with the nervous/shy fur babies! I can accommodate to you as every person and dog is unique ❤️
