Dog Sitting in Blue Mounds

“Ashley is amazing. We’ve been having her visit with our cat Todd for over a year. He is becoming more high maintenance as he ages and now she’s been on puke duty and hasn’t questioned things one bit. She is easy to talk to and always keeps us in the loop. I highly recommend booking with her for any of your pet sitting needs.”

“Sidney is very understanding and patient with our nervous and reactive pup. Halla isn’t the easiest dog, he needs a sitter who will give him time, space and lots of treats but also he needs strict boundaries and discipline. We are so happy to have found Sidney!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. They ranged from puppies all the way to them becoming senior dogs, and they all came from very different backgrounds. I am especially good with senior dogs. My childhood dog eventually had severe arthritis and needed medication and some extra help. I would do anything for her that helped her feel more comfortable! I also puppysit for some family members so I am also used to the craziness a puppy can bring! I am currently available most days at any time until August 11. My cat does need medication at 8pm, but any other time of the day works for me! I can care for your pets however you need in your home! Whether it's going on a walk, playing outside, or staying inside, whatever is best for them is doable!

“Very responsive. Good with big dogs and really loves them!”

About: I love all animals but have a soft spot for older dogs and cats that might need a little extra love and attention. I grew up with dogs but currently have a 5 year old cat who i adopted. I am a teacher who has much more free time in the summers. I am looking for afternoon/evening weekday jobs and anytime on the weekends. I will come to your home and make your fur baby feel comfortable in their own space. I can also take them for walks and/or play with them in your home.

“Hillary took care of our two cats for 10 days and we have no criticism about her work, even though she was faced with the daunting task of corralling both our girls to administer oral medication every day. She was responsive, professional, pleasant and reliable. I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again.”

About: I’ve always been passionate about animal welfare and care. There has never been a time I have not owned animals and currently has 4 cats and 1 dog. My experience stretches further as I have experience with anywhere from small animals such as chinchillas and guinea pigs to horses and previously working as a vet managing 90 baby deer. I share a lot of love and attention with my animals and would be happy to share that time and dedication with yours! I have a full time career in Human Resources for a large local employer where I work remote which has allowed me to have so many of my own fur babies! I am pretty flexible and wouldn’t accept a job where I couldn’t meet your animals needs. I have four cats that are well adjusted to dogs (including my neighbors 90 lb golden retriever) and a very social dog that my husband takes to the dog park 4 days a week. I also don’t mind staying at other persons homes as I have before with our neighbors and friends. You can expect that I will always treat your home and privacy with the utmost respect—just as I would want someone to do in my own home. If you have specific rules or instructions, you can count on me to follow them carefully and consistently.

About: (WILL BE LEAVING ROVER AFTER AUGUST FOR CAREER PURPOSES) I've been a pet parent for as long as I can remember! I grew up around various dog breeds and other exotic pets so I'm well versed in pet personalities! I've worked in 3 doggy daycares over the past 5 years and have loved every second of it ! I'm able to administrator medication as well to senior or special care pets ! Currently working a few side gigs so my schedule is super flexible! I'm an early bird and can be there as needed but tend not to be around too late at night. I'd love to have​ your furry friend as part of my daily routine ! I'm used to different sized dogs so wrangling them into crates or rooms as needed is no problem ! I take extra care to keep your home clean and loved to make your time away stress free for you and your pet! (As a policy of my own, I don't tend to stay overnight in client homes unless discussed)

About: I have had pets in my house hold my whole life. I have also had many clients in which I took care of animals of all ages and health. I have been responsible for walking, bathing, feeding, grooming, and taking care of medical needs for these animals. Chloe (my fur baby) does everything with me from sunrise to sun set. We usually spend at least an hour at the dog park a day, go for a walk, and play with all of her toys. Her and I would love to have your furry friends join us. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, and I make sure to prioritize it. On a daily basis, I ensure my pet is fed at regular intervals, typically in the morning and evening. I also take them for walks or play sessions to provide exercise and mental stimulation. Depending on the type of pet, I also spend time on grooming, whether it’s brushing, cleaning their ears, or ensuring they have fresh water. When caring for pets in a client's home, I apply the same level of attention and responsibility as I would for my own. I follow the pet's usual routine as closely as possible to minimize stress and maintain their comfort. I make sure to feed them according to the owner's instructions, provide regular exercise (walks or playtime), and ensure their environment is safe and secure while they are in my care. If the pet has specific needs—whether it's medication, special diet requirements, or behavioral concerns—I carefully follow the owner's instructions and communicate regularly to ensure everything is going smoothly. Additionally, I maintain a clean living space for the pets and always clean up after walks or playtime. If I'm providing services like pet sitting, I also ensure to follow any house-specific rules or routines, making the pet feel as comfortable as possible in their own home. I believe in building trust with both the pet and the owner, and I always stay in touch with the owner for updates or any questions that may come up during the care period.

About: I have had 2 dogs, as well as been a dog sitter, walker and runner for the last few years. I love excersing and taking long walks around neighborhoods and trails. I enjoy playing, cuddling and hanging out with furry friends. I have also taken care of senior dogs as well as doggies with terminal illness. I am home for the summertime and have many free hours during the days and nights. I occasionally pick up a night shift however am free all day and am a night owl so I can provide a walk and outside time once I'm home! I have had 2 lovely dogs in the past, and my home is very pet friendly. I make sure their water bowl is always full and have a variety of treats and high quality foods for furry friends. I have had many jobs where I stay at clients homes for weeks at a time, as well as jobs where I drop by 4 times a day to walk and play. I am very flexible with dog care preferences!

“Taylor did a wonderful job again! She was prompt, spent time playing with Lexi and Benji, and kept me updated with pictures/videos every day. I came home to two happy kitties and a clean home.”

About: From cats and dogs, to fish, birds, and reptiles, I have been caring for (and helping others care for) all sorts of pets since I was around five years old and I love to do it. I have experience bathing, feeding and exercising dogs and cats of all ages including puppies/kittens and senior pets! I have just graduated from college and am in need of some extra money while I transition into the next stages of life! I will likely have another full time job but would like to be available some evenings and at least two mornings/afternoons a week. While I unfortunately cannot board animals, I am willing to do whatever it is that you’re expecting and are comfortable with when it comes to caring for your animals in your home, including sticking to feeding expectations, safe and enriching exercise/playtime, kenneling, and other expected care for your pets!

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, bunnies - you name it. I love animals & have experience caring for and spending time with plenty.

Availability every weekend as well! I don’t mind helping on holidays. Frequent dog park goer & walker! Would love to take more doggos with me. I am comfortable with crates. Communication is great - shoot me a message and I can accommodate!

About: Hello! My name is Sandra- Ever since I’ve been little, I have watched, walked, and taken care of many pets.

I personally have a small cat who is my best friend! I make my own schedule at UW hospital a few weeks out at a time, so I am willing to work around your specific needs. I am willing to accommodate each pet’s specific needs. I am very attentive and friendly towards pets! I grew up around dogs and cats, so I will love on them like they are my own!

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 grew up with five dogs. I worked at a dog daycare for the past 6 months. While I worked there, I gave them enrichment, affection, cleaned up poop from the yards, and supervised dogs to make sure they played safely. I am free any time on the weekends. I will be getting a new job so I'm not 100% sure what my weekday hours are going to be like as of right now. I will be taking care of clients' pets in their own home or yard because we live in an apartment and also have three cats.
