House Sitting in Blackhawk Island

“Sam was great with my three dogs while I was out of town for 10 days! I received updates regularly and my house was in great shape when I returned. My dogs were comfortable with her almost immediately, even skittish Maya, which attests to the connection she made with them. Would contract with her again when the need arises.”

“Allison was great. She took good care of my animals, brought in packages, and even stayed an extra day on short notice. I would use her again.”

“Anna is very reliable and it seems that my somewhat, not so sociable kitty, does at times warm up to her. I love getting pictures while I am away. Thanks Anna”

Tami B.

“First time using Sandina and Riley did very well under her watch. 3 pictures. Will definutely use her again.”

“Kristin was great, came home to a very happy puppy and she had a great time with her. I was sent lots of pictures of a happy cuddled pup. I would recommend Kristin to anyone”

“Danielle did an excellent job from start to finish. Because I found out late that our private sitter had to cancel, getting a replacement on such short notice was kind of stressful. Danielle had openings on the needed dates, and she quickly replied to my request. We set up a meet and greet, she came to our house, and the stress was gone. She immediately engaged with both dogs. They clearly liked her. My husband and I went up north, so cell service can be on and off. Danielle sent regular updates which I would see as soon as we were in range. I greatly appreciate that she left the house as neat as it was when we left; actually even neater. I would highly recommend Danielle. Thank you, Danielle for taking such good care of both dogs.”

“Abigail took great care of our senior boy who requires extra attention - meds, mobility issues. Her communication was great, she sent photos of our boy and we returned to a happy dog. Highly recommend!”

“Hayley did a great job with our girls. I can always tell when they are well cared for because when we come home they barely notice we are gone. And they let us know if they are not! :) Hayley kept me well informed and sent pictures. Definitely recommend!”

“Zackary was so awesome! We was super communicative and seemed to spend a lot of time at home with our two kitties boys. He asked questions when needed, checked in often and sent cute pictures! Our kitties were definitely happy when we got home and he was respectful of our space. Thank you so much Zack, the boys will be happy to see you in the future 😊”

“Emma was absolutely fantastic with our large dogs! They are a bit high maintenance in their own ways but they were taken care of perfectly! Will absolutely be booking again in the future!”

“Phillip did a phenomenal job caring for our older dog and cat while we were gone for five days. He followed all our extensive instructions and went above and beyond to clean up accidents, our pup always has them when we leave- he brought his own little green machine over (he asked first!) and carpet cleaned each spot! We got great photos and were kept in the loop each day, we felt confident they were having a great time with Phillip. We will absolutely be booking again!”

About: I have had cats for more than half of my life and dog-sat for around the same amount of time. I used to dog sit two huskies all the time, had a dog of my own for a short time, and have experience dog sitting for labs as well! I have even taken care of a bearded dragon and snake on multiple occasions. Rover does not list animals other than cats and dogs directly but I am happy to arrange care for another animal as well, including exotic animals, for a fee that can be discussed. I am volunteering at the humane society and am very involved in caring for animals as much as I have time for. I am excited and ready to care for any and all pets that need it and will stick to specific details given. I won't hesitate to ask questions about the care of your pets when I have them to make sure your pet gets the utmost care and love while you're away or busy, and id yoy have plants that need watering, say the word and I'll do that too! I am currently full time in senior year of high-school and volunteering for two hours a week on the weekends, but I graduate in a month and will have all the time in the world to pet sit! I follow every instruction for food, water, walk, and treats and ask questions if I am unsure of something. I tend to stay longer than needed for check in visits just to give pets some company if I have the time. Unless pets are not very social, they will get all kinds of attention, and if they have any anxiety or behavioral differences I will be very careful and act however is best for them. I am very sure to be on time for visits and will be very specific to follow instructions for walking or being taken outside.

“Leora stayed at our house for a week to watch our dog while we were out of town and she was amazing! She provided regular updates and took great care of our dog - even including taking her to the vet and taking great care of her when she was sick. Our house was very tidy when we got home and our dog was happy! Thanks, Leora!”

“Eric is first and foremost a very kind person. He is obviously a pet lover, and our dog Daisy enjoys being the beneficiary of his attention. In fact,this morning she was looking for him, and I had to convince her to eat her breakfast! Eric is also great at staying in touch. I never have to wonder how things are going as there are photos and notes to reassure me. I guess I am a helicopter pet mom, so this is great. If I had to go on an extended trip and leave my pup, Eric would be my first and perhaps only choice. If you want to travel with confidence, look no further.”

About: I grew up around all kinds of animals, from horses to bearded dragons! The past 12 years I’ve been working in the animal health care world as a vet tech. Not only will I love and take care of your critter while away, but I know what to look out for as well if they ever show signs of needing medical attention. I have lots of experience medicating animals or giving special attention to those older ones. So please think of me when needing someone you trust to take care of your pets while away, or if they just need some company or a walk throughout the day. I also love farm animals, and grew up on a ranch, so let me know if you need someone to watch your horses, chickens, goats, etc. I’m responsible and dependable, and would love to get to know you and your pet(s)! If you need me to stay at your house, know that I have a dog I would need to bring with me. I am very neat and clean, and would leave your house cleaner then when you left it! I will also advise you of any issues or concerns I’ve encountered while caring for your pet. Full disclosure is important to me, so I won’t hide anything from you I work full time but have the option to work from home if needed. I have a fully fenced in backyard and dog door. When staying with me, your pet will be able to choose from 2 dog beds, the living room furniture or my bed when they want to relax after a fun day.

About: Agnes Mable, my dachshund of 12 years taught me patience better than anyone. I love spending time cuddling, giving belly rubs, sniffling frito feet, & running around the yard chasing them like a screaming banshee. I stay at friends & neighbors houses frequently when they're away to watch their dogs, cats, & fish. I also have friends & neighbors dogs over for weeks at a time. I've been doing this the since moving back to Wisconsin in April 2024. I love taking care of pets like their my own. Once I have a fenced in yard, I will welcome another dachshund into my life, but until then I fill my cup with caring for other's doggos & kitty cats. I'm excited to meet you! Extra treats for pugs & extra belly rubs for the heavy weights that can fetch & return! I work from home & the days I'm traveling for work will be unavailable to book. We'll spend all day together! I've got a spacious yard, large back deck that gets direct sun light for the one's that like to bake, & if they get along with other dogs, sometimes I walk over to my sisters with them to meet my favorite pug, Potato! I live in a duplex on the bottom floor so it's easy in & out, no stairs. My yard is massive with lots of plants & trees to sniff around. I'll always take my fur friends outside on a leash. I do have a small crate available for dogs under 15 pounds, toys, treats, & extra leashes just in case you forget something. Most importantly, I have a big lamby & a small lamby.

“She is amazing! She gave us peace of mind taking care of our seniors while we were at my daughter and son in laws wedding. She pays attention to detail and we appreciated that we knew they our pups were being well taken care of with her.”

“Haydn was amazing with our boys! I am so thankful for the great care she gave them while we were away, and will definitely book again the next time we need a dog/house sitter!”

About: Since I was in middle school, I’ve been caring for pets in other people’s homes in my neighborhood. I’ve been responsible for caring for all kinds of dogs, cats, bearded dragons, fish, ferrets, snakes, chameleons, and more. From dog walking, to drop and go visits multiple times a day, to overnight stays of house/dog sitting for up to 14 days, I’ve been familiar with multiple aspects of pet sitting. I am additionally familiar with wound care, some medical conditions, and medication administration for both cats and dogs. I’ve always had a passion for animal care since I was younger and would watch my dad work as a veterinarian, and am glad I can extend my passion into the community. I’m currently a student, and can work in between my classes depending on the needs of the animals. I have my own reliable transportation, and can work with whatever schedule works best for the pets in question. I am more available on weekends as I don’t have classes, although many of them are online as well. I am always accommodating to the needs of the animals being cared for. I understand that all pets have varying needs and levels of care they require, and will always be willing to work towards that. In the home of the pet, I will always ensure I am keeping as close as possible to the animal’s original routines to avoid unnecessary stress, and can ensure proper time management when pet sitting, both with my arrival time to the home and how much time I spend with the animals. Ultimately, it is the owner’s decision how I care for pets in the home.
