“Ella was amazing! She was awesome with our dogs (St Bernard, and a Labrador), go to our B&B early, and was a very sweet person. We highly recommend Ella!”

Martin C.

“She took wonderful care of our 10 week old puppy and 4 year old cat. I highly recommend - if you want someone you can feel safe leaving your home and pets with, this is your person! She rocks!”

Olivia A.

“Eleanor is absolutely amazing with sitting. She stayed two nights and everything went beautifully. My animals absolutely LOVE her. She also made me feel so comfortable, with lots of photos and videos. I am looking forward to hiring her again. I HIGHLY recommend her!”

About: I graduated with a degree in animal science from the University of Wisconsin- River Falls in 2023. I've been dog/ cat sitting for years, I grew up with 2 family labs and I have trained 3 service dogs through a non-profit company down in Madison. Whether I'm hanging out with a high-energy pup or a senior dog who just wants a comfy spot and some company, I always adjust my care to match their needs. I am big on routine, clear communication and creating a calm, positive environment while you're away. Lastly and most importantly, I treat every dog like they're my own: with patience, respect, and plenty of love. I’m available for pet care during mornings and afternoons, with consistent availability throughout the week. While I don’t accommodate last-minute bookings, I’m happy to schedule in advance to ensure your pet gets the attention they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check-in, or afternoon playtime, I’ll work with you to create a routine that keeps your pet happy and comfortable. I specialize in caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure while you are gone. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I’m respectful of your space, keep things clean, and always provide regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet (and your home) are in good hands. My goal is to make your time away as smooth as possible—for both you and your furry family member

“Bridget was great and Vanessa loved her. I appreciated the daily updates with videos & photos. It was our first time trying in home care while we were away and we are very pleased with Bridget as our choice. We will definitely rebook when we go away in the future.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. While I’m not able to have any furry companions of my own right now because of my current living situation, I truly miss having them in my life. I’d love the opportunity to give your pet plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and, with your permission, a few well-deserved treats! I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work full time at home Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm however, my schedule is flexible and I am able to take breaks throughout the day. I can make almost anything work with enough notice. I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay in the environment where they feel happiest and most comfortable. I understand that keeping their normal routine helps reduce stress while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I’ll also follow any specific care instructions you provide to ensure your pet’s routine and needs are met every step of the way.

About: My love for animals started at a young age along with my desire to protect and care for them. What I can offer you is my commitment, dedication, and loyalty. I've completed a year working as a Kennel Assistant at the Central Maui Animal Clinic in Kahului. Basically what I do is clean kennels; set up kennels so it's more of a "comfy" feeling for the animals; take dogs outside to play & poop; provide food & water; and lastly, administer medications if necessary. I admit that I'm not quite comfortable administering medications, but if you explain it to me thoroughly, then I'll be more than happy to do it! I've had a fair share of what it's like working with animals. I mostly specialize in puppies; dogs; kittens; and cats. With that being said, it's safe to say that I do have some experience, but not quite as advanced. I wish I could expand on the services that Rover suggests, but the services that I can offer you are: house sitting; drop-in visits; doggy day care; and dog walking. I look forward to meeting up with you and your lovable fur babies. I'm currently working full-time, 4 10 hour shifts a week from 7:30am to 5:30pm. That means that I have 3 days off (Sunday - Tuesday) and work Wednesday - Saturday. The days that I'm off, I can provide the services that are stated above in "Pet Care Experience". The days that I do work, I can provide house sitting services and drop-in visits since I mostly work through the whole day. Living in a low income apartment has made it difficult for me to care for pets, so it will be very unlikely that I'll be able to care for your pets in my home. Hence, this is why I won't be able to provide any boarding services. I like to think of myself as a very respectful, considerate, compassionate, and trustworthy person. As I've gotten older, I realized that everyone has boundaries. My utmost purpose is to prove to you that you can trust me and that I'll be respectful towards caring for your pets and household as if they were my own.

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.

“Fawn did a great job with Marlo while we were away. She is very responsive to my communication and reached out on the first day with an detailed update. Marlo was happy around her and will definitely hire her again.”

Kris O.

“We give Melissa our HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! She was a pet sitter for us for 6 days/5 nights! We just moved to the area and needed to find a responsible person to take care of our dog while we were out of town. Melissa was super responsive, highly professional and extremely trustworthy. Our pet has a significant medical condition and Melissa kept us updated and was extremely comfortable handling any special needs. She left our home in better condition that we left it. She went above and beyond to take care of our dog and we so appreciated it! We have used many pet sitters in the past, but Melissa was a step above all others!”

Shane F.

“Took wonderful care of our large, spoiled, dog and two cats. Received daily reports and pictures. It was great having a house sitter. I would definitely recommend Melanie to all and would welcome her to again care for our precious pets.”

Elizabeth B.

About: I have had cats since I was born and my whole life have helped take care of them. My life passion is cats and I currently have two of my own. I have experience in administrating oral, topical and injectable medications and have experience with cats with many personalities. I am working full time, so my availability varies, but send me a message and see if I’m available! I’ll do my best to accommodate :) I am always respectful of other people's spaces and act as I would like others to act while they are in my home. I always treat animals with care and respect and do what I can to make sure that they are comfortable.

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog Walter received. Alex was incredibly attentive, responsible and kept us updated with great communication throughout her two night stay. Walter absolutely loved her and so did we. It’s such a relief to know he was in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommend.”

Lori K.

“Gabrielle did an amazing job with our two pups I get anxious leaving them and she put me at ease with staying in contact and picture updates :) we have a senior dog that needs more care and assistance with medications and she nailed it! 10/10 would recommend will have her in our home again anytime! Thank you again!”

Bryanna K.

About: I am a young energetic dog owner of two 1 year-old puppies that have high energy and love to play in our big fenced in backyard. I have also taken care of pets since I was young and grew a passion for it! I do make the schedule for the shop I work at and the partner I live with is the owner of the shop, so we are able to work around the needs of clients as well as the needs for our own dogs. I have a fenced in yard that has plenty of space for the dogs to run around in and two friendly dogs that love other dogs. I am also willing to navigate around people’s feeding schedules or daily routines that are made for their dogs as well!

“Mira was fantastic! Super easy to work with and great with communication. We will definitely book with her again.”

Marissa P.

About: I am still fairly new to sitting but have had good reviews when I have sat. I have a 6 year old black lab pit-bull mix and 1 year old puppy at home. I also have experience with older dogs. I am in college so I have classes most weekdays. I am free all day Thursday and Sunday. As well as Saturday mornings or afternoons and some weeknights depending on my schedule that week. I am flexible too! I will keep a close eye on your dog(s) and am always down to play with them or take them to the park. Whether just walking or sitting I will put my entire effort into your pup.

“Mara took great care of our three big dogs while we were gone for the weekend. They all seemed happy and followed their normal routines with her while we were away. She sent pictures and let us know how they were doing. We hope to have her back the next time we leave town.”

Kathleen H.

“Amber did a great job taking care of our girls! She communicated well with me and my girls were happy when we got home. My dogs will tell when they have been given attention or had a good time because when I get home from being away they act indifferent when we come home like we were never even gone (when they are barking before we even get out of the car we know they are not happy) and after Amber watched them they were super happy! That tells us a lot about their time with the sitter!!”
