Nicole is one of our favorite Rover sitters! She sends us lots of pictures of our happy guy and we know he’s well taken care of when we are gone. Nicole is very trustworthy and Miko is always so very happy to see her :)

Rhonda took the time to really learn the routines of our home and did a great job with our dogs and house while we were away. I appreciated the daily (often multiple times per day) photos and updates. Hope to have her sit for us again!

Nick and Dorothy did a great job taking care of our home and our English Mastiff Oley. We got lots of pictures and updates while we were gone. The house was left in a very clean and orderly fashion.

There’s not enough wonderful things to say about Madelyn, she’s truly the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! The pups loved her, she was so incredibly respectful of our home while we were away, and she communicated often to let us know our babies were doing well. THANK YOU SO MUCH, very much looking forward to having you back soon! 💛

Lindsey was amazing! She took wonderful care our pup and even though this was our first time using Lindsey as a sitter, we knew right away that he was in great hands while we were away. I wish I could keep Lindsey a secret but I can’t, she’s that great and deserves this review. Definitely recommend 🌟!

About: I have several years of hands-on experience pet sitting for friends, family and clients. I have cared for pets of all ages and sizes. My experience includes, my own pets my whole life including puppies, daily walks, feeding schedules, medications, playtime and overnight care. I will provide regular updates with photos and I am attentive to pets routines, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while owners are away. I work full time from 8am-5pm but have the ability to take breaks for drop in visits. I am more than happy to work around this schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a playful and friendly mini dachshund of my own to keep your dog company while you are away. I understand dogs needs and will make sure my home or yours is a safe and loving environment for them.

About: We are an active family with 3 children (and one on the way) who love to play outside, take long walks, and even run with our dog. Animals are well-loved in our home and welcome on the furniture. I would love to include your pet in any exercise needs as well! We are available for walking pets before 8 am and after 4:30 p.m. every day. I can also do mid-day drop-ins if located in the Wausau area (best if northeast side of Wausau as I work in the Industrial park or near Merrill since my husband works there). We have a 2000 sq foot house, so there is plenty of room for more pets to house overnight. My kids absolutely love playing ball and walking the dog, too! We have an energetic black lab who loves to play. I believe in being active and playing as much as possible with my family (but am totally ok watching dogs who love to nap :) ).

About: I grew up with a variety of pets, and I thoroughly love all kinds of animals! My family had a dog about 19years, and we took care of him from puppy years to old age. I have my own dog, Roxy a collie mix, who I raised by myself from 4mo old and she has learned so much! I am a travel nurse so I’m not from the area and I am free any day that I’m not working! I typically do 3 - 12hr night shifts. Since I am not from the area I cannot take animals into my own place, but I am very flexible and willing to accommodate any way that is needed for you and your pet's needs.

She was awesome! Sent us lots of pictures of our pup and cat, kept track of when our pup went out and what she did outside, and when/what they ate. Most importantly, our pets seemed very happy in her care. Definitely would like to book with her again!!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over a decade and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My services include dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting, and I always treat every pet as if they were my own. In addition to caring for pets for family, friends, and clients, I recently provided ongoing care for a dog twice a week over several months. I’ve worked with both small and large dogs, as well as a variety of cats, and have experience handling different energy levels, temperaments, and routines. As a former cat foster, I’m especially attentive to each animal’s individual needs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and compassionate care. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, companionship, feeding, medication reminders, or simply a reassuring presence while you’re away, I’m committed to keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I am a full time online student, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most needs. Just let me know what’s best for you! I will ensure to follow all instructions given whether that’s food restrictions, crating your dog, being outside or playing for x amount of minutes etc.

Leora is a professional. She was excellent with my giant breed puppy, who can be a lot! She was trustworthy, left the house picked up; even washed her bedding and took out the garbage! It is nice not to have to worry about your pet or your home when you are gone. We will absolutely use her again!

Kirsten was amazing with my 2 sweet pups! She sent me lots of pictures and videos which was great because I rarely leave them for long periods of time. She kept me well informed the whole time on how things were going. Kirsten was also very sweet and professional at the meet and greet, so I felt comfortable with her as did my pups. She is definitely worth booking with! I would book with her again in a heartbeat!

Krystle is nothing short of phenomenal! She took on the challenge of an extended stay with my recently-rescued Shepherd. She was patient with his separation anxiety, sent frequent photos and updates and because of her warm personality and ability to connect with my furry guy — I had zero concerns while I was away.
