“Julie was wonderful and very accommodating! She is very laid-back, and it is obvious that she genuinely loves dogs. Her own dogs are adorable and friendly, so it was a great "play time" atmosphere when I dropped my dogs off. I'm very happy I found Julie on Rover! ”
“Finn had a wonderful time with Duane and Lauren. They took such good care of Finn, kept him happy, busy and excercised. Im so grateful! Will book again soon!”

“I've always been worried about having someone watch my dog because I'm always worried he can be a handful, but he did so well with Joan! She was very quick to respond to my request as I had to find a sitter last minute and she took great care of him and was attentive to his needs like his oral medication. Her dogs are very well behaved and were great company for him! He also had a lot of fun with another dog that was over for doggie day-care. Overall a great place for him to be since he loves to have company! She sent a lot of very cute pictures of him with the other dogs and was very flexible with me when I had an emergency and wouldn't be able to pick him up on time. If I ever need someone to dog-sit for me again I will definitely ask Joan!”

“Our dog stayed with Kaycee and her family for 10 days, and we had a wonderful experience. She sent me photos every day, and they took him for walks even though they have a fenced backyard. The kids in the family gave Swift lots of attention, and he played with their family dog. Very sweet family — I highly recommend them for dog boarding.”

“The kids were happy. Good communication, lots of photos and video. It was a great place with a good yard for them to play. She took good care of our perrhijos.”

“Estrella loved going to Sarah's house! She always has a fun time playing with Sarah's dogs and she met a new friend in the regular daycare dog they host. We got lots of adorable pictures and videos and Estrella came home tired and happy!”

“Hope was very communicative about how things were going which was so helpful for our first visit. I loved the pictures and updates on our pup’s day. Hope’s experience helped me to feel good about entrusting our dog with her.”

“Alexander and Hannah did a great job with Cannoli! They were flexible and understanding and tried to ensure she was as comfortable as possible during her stay. I appreciated that they allowed her to sleep in the bed with them to ease her anxiety about being in a new place.”

“Derek and Yoki did a wonderful job taking care of our dog (Captain). They provided great updates and some of the best photos I have seen of Captain. I would highly reccomend them for boarding services.”

“Amanda and Paul’s family is wonderful. I can’t say enough good things. They are loving and sweet, and experienced will all types of dogs. I felt really safe and happy to be leaving my pup in their care.”


About: I love dogs and animals - they really are the best! I have owned three for many years, raising two from being puppies, and addressing challenging behavior with an older doggo, in addition to fostering multiple rescue dogs. I recently moved to WI, and my pets stayed home with my partner for now, and miss my furry companions and want to provide love and care for yours while I’m here! I am happy to work with you on what’s best, whether that is house sitting, boarding, or simply letting your animals out on walks or to go potty. Let’s chat! I currently work from home and have a remote job, so can provide your dog with any needs or attention that makes sense based on their schedule. I have some in-person meetings that occur throughout the week, and am generally around on the weekends regularly. If planning on boarding or daycare, my apartment is very dog-friendly, with many residents having pets and there are plenty of amenities available, whether walking around the neighborhood on leash or playing in the apartment’s fenced in dog run, that will give your pet what it needs. I can easily crate, take out for potty breaks, etc. I am also mindful of dog reactivity regardless of my own or neighbor’s dogs.
“Margaret was beyond sweet and accommodating, she took excellent care of my senior pup and gave her plenty of attention, care, and exceptional feedback. We’re new to the area and will only book with her, she's earned a trusted client. Highly recommend Margaret for any pet sitting needs!”

“Rebekah and Alex were great to correspond with. Super flexible and accommodating regarding meet and greet, drop off and pick up times. Our dog had such a fun weekend at their house. We were provided pictures throughout the weekend and were ensured he was at the right place! Would definitely recommend and board with again!!”

“Edith sent many photos and kept me informed from the moment Ollie was dropped off until I picked him up. He was well taken care of and I would definitely ask her to watch him again.”

“Wystria took great care of my pup while I was away for a long trip. Her consistent photo and video updates helped me have peace of mind about my doggo's well-being. I would definitely book her services again!”

“Suellen was available for last minute sitting for our dog. She is extremely caring and attentive. She did a wonderful job keeping him occupied and provided us with lots of updates throughout the weekend. We could tell he really enjoyed his time with her.”

“Gilian took great care of my dog. Suri had plenty of dogs to play with, lots of outside time and a nice space indoors too. She got to enjoy playing with water and getting yummy treats. Gilian also updated me daily with a report and photos so that I knew my dog was in good hands at all times. Thank you Gilian.”

“This was my second time booking with Tracy and I’m so glad they were available to watch my Rosie. Tracy is professional and passionate about working with dogs, and I feel very secure knowing Rosie’s in good hands.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. My family growing up never had less than 3 pets at a time so I've grown up loving and rescuing animals including taking care of outdoor feral cats,stray dogs, etc. I currently have two cats of my own and hope to have more in the future at the very least by fostering :) Besides when working my 9/5 or rover I spend most of my free time with my cats. I also keep a cat crate and food in my car in case I ever see any stray cats and I have a humane trap at home. I have raised puppies and kittens from 2 months old and have had elderly pets that have lived to be 19 years old so I have experience with lots of pets of different ages, breeds, and personality types. I've taken care of upwards of 7 cats all in the same household so I am also experienced with caring for multiple pets including households with multiple cats and also dogs. I also have experience to varying degrees with deer, rabbits, horses, chickens, quail, and fish. I think pets are family and best friends and I am excited to meet yours and give them lots of love and attention I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick For daycare or boarding for dogs I would prefer they are cat friendly but accommodations can be made for sure! Currently my mon-Fri dog daycare and sitting slots are full. I am occasionally free on weekends or have last minute cancelations and still have some evening avilability so please feel free to still message to ask :) I’m happy to watch multi pet house holds and do daycare for multiple dogs if you have more than one! During meet ups I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick I have availability in the evenings and Friday-Sundays all day I can absolutely do drop ins and walks! Feel free to ask me about dates even if it says busy because I usually still can do drop ins and walks especially in the evenings or I might have last minute cancels :) I am more than happy to board or babysit more than 1 dog from the same household/family :) In my own household I would provide them with their own toys, food and water bowls, and take them for lots of walks if applicable. My pets and any animals here are allowed to be on the furniture like the couches and bed but I usually put a blanket and a small bed on the ground in case some babies feel more comfy with that. I am more than happy to also crate them!
