“Baily has been to us twice now and each time she has been great! Our dog can be shy but she is able to get him to come out with her. 5 stars!”

About: Hi there! I am an avid animal lover with 17 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities, breeds, ages, and energy levels. I have had 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own, 12 foster dogs (not at the same time!) and have cared for many animals through Rover. I offer drop-in and dog walk services in the Hudson/Stillwater area. I work remote and have plenty of flexibility and availability to help fill in when you want a little help caring for your fur family. No upcharges for holidays either! Whether in your home, in your yard, or out and about, the safety of you pet, and their needs are top priority. I have engaged in a variety of dog training courses with my own dog so have no problem maintaining the rules you have in place for you animal/s.

“Elizabeth did an excellent job caring for my two cats over a long weekend. She was punctual, kind, and quick to learn my cats' specific routines. I have one cat who is quite shy and typically hides from visitors (even family members who visit regularly), but Elizabeth managed to earn his trust on the very first visit. My other cat requires an inhaler twice a day and can be quite squirmy, but Elizabeth administered the dosages without any issues. Elizabeth sent updates after every drop-in visit, complete with cute photos. She even watered my flowers outside. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my pets and my home were in good hands while I was away.”

About: I’ve fostered dogs since I was in fourth grade, sometimes multiple at a time. Varying in size and age, sometimes cats as well as dogs. I am currently a junior at UWL and work an on campus job. I am going to school full time and my job does block off some of my time but I am willing to work my schedule around the fur babies. I live in the dorms so I will not be able to take the dogs into my home but I can easily take care of them in your home and easily crate if necessary. They will be provided with plenty of love and attention.

About: I've had more than 2 dogs in my home my entire life, from 8 week old puppies to seniors. I have experience giving the dogs medicine when they need it. I work part time at a retail store, so I am never working more than 9 hours at a time, I usually only work 4-5 hours normally. I make the pets my priority when I am caring for them and I watch their behaviors so I can catch anything out of the ordinary. I follow feeding directions and potty schedules.

“I'm very impressed with Alexa and how well Molly took to her. I would recommend Alexa for all your pet sitting needs! I will definitely use the services again”

About: Hi, my name is Olivia. I was looking for extra money so I figured why not do something I love? I adore all kind of animals, big or small. I have been taking care of animals for about two years now. I've watched my neighbors dogs and my friends dogs/cats. And I have always received good feedback. I am also very active so I will have no problem playing with and walking your pets! I feel like what sets me apart is that I am very passionate about animals and I don't believe in doing anything half way. Either do it above and beyond, or don't do it at all. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I just got back from two years of working abroad and haven’t started my new job yet so I have plenty of free time for the time being! :) When caring for your pets, I try to care for and love them as much as you do! Also, when it comes to house sitting, I try to keep the house clean and tidy so you can return home to a neat house.

“Rashelle went above and beyond with her services! She was attentive to the needs of my pet and even made sure my home was spick and span! My cat absolutely adored her, and she was great at communicating with me as needed. I am looking forward to continuing to work with her! Definitely recommend!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 10 years old. I have had pets my whole life including dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, birds and reptiles. I would care for your pet like it was my own. I love nature and animals. My pets are part of the family and I know it's difficult to trust someone else with a beloved pet. I am available most nights and weekends. If you work odd hours then I can help out and make sure your pet is cared for. I treat every pet like a member of the family. I would make sure they feel comfortable and secure and know it takes time to grow trust.

About: Being a dog owner is one of the most rewarding experiences to me! I enjoy the love, passion, and intelligence they have. I also understand it can be a lot of work especially when life gets busy, or sometimes you just need someone to stop in and check on them while you are out of town. I am happy to help with a variety of needs! 🙂 I currently work full time with a reasonably flexible schedule! Availability will open up more in a couple of months. Let me know what you are looking for! I completed The Ultimate Canine Communication Masterclass by Larry Krohn, and working on a couple other courses with the intention of eventually getting certified in dog training. A lot of what I learned in those courses relate to proper equipment, dog behaviors and body language, communication, and foundation. Which all play in a role in caring for and keeping your pet safe and having fun!

About: Hi there! My name is Jenna and while I’m home I would love to watch your pup. I am a foster parent for many different rescues in the area including Cocos Heart, Across America Boxer Rescue and Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue. I have fostered everything from 10 week old puppies (yes I have the chew marks on my couch to prove it) to the unforgettable seniors! My home is full of dog beds, treats and all the loving they could ever want. I have a privacy fenced in backyard and provide kennels as well for safe spaces too. I would love to cuddle your fur baby while you are away. I will be returning to the office here in January but I can offer a safe space via kennel or pen while I’m at work (no longer than 8 hours). I do have some hybrid days that I may be home to give extra cuddles. When I’m not working, I’m home. While home, treats, loves, pets, outside time are in the agenda. When I am not home safe space kennel time with soothing music until I return will play. My privacy fence covers 90% of my yard with a fenced gate covering the other 10%. Your fur baby will not be outside unattended however. I also have a boxer that if they get along they are welcomed to play together, however if they don’t get along no worries! Being a foster parent I know how to split my house and time between to babies. I also have cameras set up so I can keep an eye on the babies at all times. Your fur baby will be treated like royalty when they are staying here.

About: Hi! My name is Frankie, and I’ve spent many years caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and personalities. I truly love animals, and my top priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I nanny as well and know these are babies too just with fur! In addition to pet sitting, I work part-time evening shifts at a hospital and am currently a student. My schedule is flexible, and I make sure to give each pet the time and attention they need Safety is a top priority in everything I do. I always take care to follow each pet’s routine, keep them secure in their environment, and watch closely for any signs of stress or discomfort. Whether it’s walks, feedings, or downtime, I’m committed to making sure your pets are safe, calm, and well cared for at all times.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. We have fostered 9 dogs in our adult life with two different rescues, and officially adopted a dog in summer 2022, which was our first pet dog as an adult. Currently, we have a cat and dog, so pets that we watch in our home must be cat, dog, and kid friendly. We have a busy household with 3 kids and 2 adults. We have a 1.5 acre lot and love to go on hikes and to fields to run. We have an adult home/off work 4 of 7 days in a typical week. Would love to find someone close who needs our services for overnight boarding, doggy daycare, cat sitting, and drop in services. We will treat your pup as our own and are more than willing to provide any special care needed for any known quirks or known oddity. I am off Tuesdays and weekends. My husband is typically home Wednesdays and weekends. We have a dog of our own who loves to play with other dogs, so exercising the dogs should be easy as long as your dog is dog friendly. We also like to hike and go on walks in the neighborhood. Occasionally go to the dog park, too! Our yard is unfenced, but 1.5 acres. We do have an electric in ground fence if you would like your dog to wear the collar for it, or feel free to bring your own remote e-collar if your dog is used to that. Our yard is unfenced, so we can do a tie out, leash, or electric collar if desired. We do request dogs be crate trained for temporary times when we leave the house

About: I’ve always been a lover of animals and always had a dog and cat in my house growing up. I’ve worked as a dog groomer for 2 years and miss having the everyday interaction with dogs and cats. I have an emotional support dog of my own, his name is Avett and he’s my little man he came to work at the groomers with me and is friendly with all dogs. Being able to comfort an animal is emotionally fulfilling and being able to treat and cuddle them brings so much joy I love them all as my own. I have a beautiful fenced in yard and home that is able to be a safe haven for your loves when you need help with care. I would love to work with animals again and have the gratifying feeling of caring for them. I’m able to work from home select days which gives me the ability to work with animals. I have a nice fenced in yard with room to run and a wonderful walking trail next to my house to take them on adventures.

“Courtney reliably came twice a day to take care of our fur baby and make sure she was well-fed, had water, and the litter box scooped. We'll definitely request Courtney for future pet sitting needs.”

“Vanessa is a true cat-lover and our cat was comfortable with her from the first time they met. She took excellent care of him while we were away on vacation, followed directions, and I would highly recommend her to other cat parents.”

“Charlotte was great! Showed up, sent photos of everyone, and even offered to clean up cat puke! Will definitely be booking again with her!”

About: My lifelong passion for animals began on our family’s organic dairy farm in Menomonie, Wisconsin, where I learned the dedication required to care for animals of all sizes. Over the years, we have opened our hearts and home to our friends' pets, gaining extensive hands-on experience with everything from energetic dogs to gentle bunnies. As a homeschool family, someone is almost always home to provide continuous love, attention, and structured care. We spend plenty of time outside so your pet will have lots of opportunities to exercise and spend time in the sun. Your pet will enjoy full access to our house and a large, securely fenced yard perfect for safe outdoor exploration. Located in a peaceful, dog-friendly neighborhood, we offer a warm, reliable, and attentive home-away-from-home where your pet will be treated like family.

“Chad was awesome! My Small Munsterlander takes a while to warm up to men. She liked Chad right away! I knew right then he was great with dogs! He played fetch with them and gave them a lot of attention. It really put my mind to ease knowing they were so well taken care of while we’re on vacation! I’m very happy with the service Chad provides!!”

“Martha has been absolutely wonderful with drop-in visits for our <1 year old puppy. She, and occasionally her dog Charlie, have been great playmates with our pup. We trust her with our home and pup and have been super happy to do many repeat bookings with her!”
