“Well my Rosie was ECSTATIC to see Jennifer today!! 🥰🥰 I know she'll have a good rest of the day because her best friend came over and gave her lots of love!💜”
“Very appreciative of the work Christine offers. Reassuring knowing my girl is in good hands when we are away.”
“Elisabeth was the best. It was so hard being away from the girls this long for the first time ever. But Elisabeth made it easier. She care for my dogs and communicated regularly. I would highly recommend Her to everyone looking for a caring pet sitter!”
“Nikki was awesome! I love that she wanted to meet my cat first to make sure it was a good match for both of them. She was very knowledgeable about how to interact with my cat. During the drop-in visits, she took care to read the instructions I left and use the information to interact with my cat, including brushing him which he always enjoys. She left detailed report cards. I will 100% be a repeat customer! Thank you for taking such good care of my cat while I was away, Nikki!”
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I specialize in creating a calm and comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s needs, ensuring they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. My attention to detail and genuine love for animals truly sets me apart. I work from home, which means I’m available throughout the day for pet care. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, or playtime, I can ensure your pet has constant attention and comfort. My flexible schedule makes it easy to meet your needs. Safety is my top priority. In my home, pets are supervised, have plenty of space, and are never left alone for long. When caring for pets in your home, I follow all your guidelines and routines to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’ll also share regular updates to give you peace of mind.
“5 stars for Clarissa and Troy! Thank you for loving on my puppy!”
“Alysha is the best! This has been a busy out of town season for us as we travel frequently to watch our daughter compete at college swim meets. Alysha has been there for us and we could not be more thankful for her care of Lola while we are away.”
“Molly was so chill when we got home yesterday. She definitely enjoyed Zack's visits and potty breaks. So happy to have Zack watch our girl! 🥰”
“This was my first River experience and Camille made it an excellent one! I needed late night help over the weekend at the last second and Camille was quick to respond. I truly appreciated her taking time out of her weekend nights to come meet and care for our dog! I appreciated that she sent pictures and gave me updates on how the visits went (although I’m sure that’s part of the Rover process). We will definitely be using her down the road!”
About: I go beyond the basics to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, stimulated, and loved. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and energy levels—from gentle senior pups to high-energy breeds that thrive with agility exercises and interactive play. I love incorporating puzzle toys and movement into our time together to keep their minds and bodies active. I also offer nail trims for both cats and dogs, which saves you a trip to the groomer and helps keep your pet comfortable. Walks are tailored to your dog’s needs, and I’m lucky to have access to a large, green outdoor area for fresh air and fun. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, a calm walk with a senior pup, or enrichment for a curious kitty, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a true love of animals to every visit. Pet care is already a central part of my everyday life. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to take frequent breaks throughout the day—and I use that time to walk, play, or check in on pets. I’m already out caring for my own dog, so adding in extra walks, playtime, or visits with other pets fits seamlessly into my schedule. I love staying active and being outdoors, and pet sitting is the perfect way to combine that with something I genuinely enjoy—spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort and well-being always come first. I make sure fresh water is always available, and I keep a stash of healthy treats on hand (with your permission, of course!). Pets in my care get regular potty breaks outside and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I have extra leashes, cozy pet beds, and a clean, pet-safe environment. I’m also able to travel easily, so I can provide in-home care that keeps your pet in their familiar routine. Whether it's snuggles, structured walks, or playtime in a secure green space, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs and personality.
About: We have over 20 collective years of pet caring experience and currently have a 5 year old Bichon, August, that we love to spoil. We adopted our 14 year old poodle, Scrappy, from a local shelter. So, we have plenty of senior dog experience, in case your baby takes medication daily. We understand the concern of leaving your pet at a kennel as we, like many others, have had bad experiences in the past. We just moved into our new home and have plenty of room for your fur baby. Our community is very pet friendly and has a huge dog park where your dog can run around with other dogs, play on the agility course or relax in the shade under one of the many trees. Not only will we take your pooch out regularly, but we will send pictures frequently. We will treat your dog like it's our own! We both look forward to taking care of your dog!
“Sandina took good care of our two Weims and communicated very well with us; including pictures. Her multiple drop-in visits were done as expected, and she gave the doggies all the opportunities they needed to "do what they needed to do."”
About: I’ve been caring for family friends’ dogs for the past few years while they’re away on vacation. During that time, I’ve handled feeding, walking, and playtime during my visits. Having grown up with dogs my whole life, I have plenty of experience and love for all pets:) I’m currently a student at UW-La Crosse and am home in the Madison area for the summer! I would love to help out with any of your pets needs! I love to provide attentive care for dogs by taking them on walks, feeding them, and giving baths when needed. I also make sure they have plenty of company, playtime, and, of course, lots of love!
“Stephanie was wonderful to work with, even navigating my ever changing schedule, last minute adjustments as to what days to let the dogs out.”
About: I had pets my whole life, cats and dogs, so I know what they need. Love, cuddles, and attention! I have a beautiful and sassy calico cat who is good with other animals and a sweet Corgi named Georgia who loves making new friends!! I am a grad student at UWM. I live in an apartment but there are amazing walking trails and a dog park close by! You’re dogs will have lots of room to play!! Dogs will go with me on walks every night and played with to get all the zoomies out! Cats will get lots of cuddles and pets while I spend my evenings at home. Either dog or cat will be well taken care of! My pets have always been well taken care of. They are fed, cuddled, clean, and given all the love. In my home you can promise your pet will be on their own vacation while you are on yours! If sitting at your house is preferred, have peace of mind knowing your pet will be let out every morning and evening, be walked, and given plenty of playtime in the evening!
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. My father was a German Sheppard breeder when I was growing up. I was always hands on when helping with the puppies, ensuring that we helped raise good family dogs. I was a supervisor at a large doggy daycare and boarding facility until recently when I decided to branch off. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I currently have 3 wonderful dogs of my own and foster kittens when with my husband when we are needed. I will always treat your fur baby with the same love, care, and patience as I do my own. After all, I wouldn’t expect anything less than that for my babies.
About: I’ve loved animals since I can remember. I am full time online veterinary technician school, white working in a vet clinic. I also work as a veterinary assistant at a vet clinic. I have six pets three rabbits who live in a separate room, two cats, and one dog. I have a big heart for animals in need and animal rights so when possible I try help re-home animals in need of a different environment and a more suitable life. My first priority when watching a pet is making sure all their needs are met and they are as relaxed and comfortable as possible. If they’re happy I’m happy. . . . I currently work full time, 4 10 hour days. I am able to stop in before and after work and if close enough I can stop in during my lunch break. I live in the lower half of a house three bedroom with an unfenced yard. All my pets are friendly, house broken, and my dog is trained.
“Carole was wonderful and accommodated a last minute request. She came when she said she would and didn’t just let the dog out, she spent time with him (and his furry kitty brother). We will gladly use Carole again and so appreciate this service!”
“Maggie is very responsive, friendly, and compassionate about animals. She took great care of my babies, and made this dog Mom feel at ease leaving my new puppy for a couple of hours. Highly recommend Maggie :).”

Jacqueline L.
“Jacqueline has been caring for pets for over a decade. She has a calm energy that relaxes even the most anxious pups. Under her care, dogs are walked, played with, mentally engaged, and loved, which ensures her clients go home balanced. And her dog Sam is the perfect intro dog. He's just interested enough in other dogs to make them feel welcome. Talk to Jacqueline about your dog's needs, and I'm sure she'll be able to accommodate them. And ask about nail trims. She's amazing!”

Morgan H.
“Morgan watched my dog whenever my family and I would go on vacations. She started watching Bailey (our golden lab) when she was in high school and continued on for many years. Once Bailey passed and we got Thor (a black lab), she continued on and watch Thor. We would vacation about 2 times a year and Morgan was always available. Bailey and Thor were always walked, let out, feed, and happy.”
Samantha R.
“Sammy and I worked together for about a year at a large doggy daycare and boarding kennel. Sammy is a huge animal lover and is incredible empathetic to dogs' needs. She was always the first to let management know if a dog was sick, injured, etc. and did everything she could to try to make them feel better. She is also well-versed in dog body language and in supervising play with multiple dogs. Sammy is great at communication with dogs and their owners. She has pets of her own, so she understands what important things people want to know about their animal when the owner isn't around. Sammy rescues barn kittens who have been abandoned by their mothers and cares for them. I am lucky enough to have adopted one of the kitties, and he is incredibly healthy and well-adjusted. I would trust Sammy with my own pets any time!”
