“Brandon and Katy are lovely! They were very helpful moving my dog's crate and getting him settled. Sammy had a great time playing and cuddling.”

“I can't recommend Stephanie highly enough! She recently watched our dog, Hazel, and she was truly wonderful from start to finish. From the moment we dropped Hazel off, Stephanie provided excellent and frequent updates, including photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that Hazel was having a great time and felt completely comfortable in her care. Stephanie was incredibly reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely treated Hazel like her own family. Hazel came home tired, happy, and clearly well-loved. If you're looking for a trustworthy, loving, and professional sitter on Rover, book Stephanie—we certainly will be booking her again!”

“Our dog Gatsby has stayed with Edith on multiple occasions and always has a wonderful time! We love all of the updates that Edith sends and we know that he is getting the best of care while we are away. Even when our dog has less than stellar behavior Edith takes it all in stride and keeps us updated. Thank you Edith!”

Shay C.

“Kaycee and Robert are the best! They took such good care of our little dog, who has never spent time away from us. They took him on walks, played with him, and kept him warm and safe. Our dog loved Tank (their dog) and the kids. He had a blast with this lovely family. They are kind and warm people who took excellent care of our dog. It is evident that they are expert dog owners who have fostered and trained many dogs. We will definitely book them next time we leave town. We highly recommend them!”

Hanan A.

“We just completed our dogs 3rd stay at Sarah and Zach's house and we already have stay #4 booked. Our always have so much fun and get lots of outdoor playtime. We love the photo and video updates and especially enjoy knowing they are being so well cared for while we are away.”

“Jesse was a great sitter for our 70 lb pup! She had a great time with him and Lola at the nearby dog park and we were kept up-to-date on how she was doing with pictures and messages.”

Meghan G.

“Shawn did a great job. He checked in ant reasonable times and provided updates while we were away. It’s comforting to see photos of your pet smiling and having a good time while they are at their home away from home. Thanks Shawn!”

Rochelle D.

“Zoe was well cared for at Hannah and her family‘s home. We appreciated the updates and pictures very much. We will definitely have Zoe back again another time when we travel.”

Mary Z.

“Christine was amazing with our dog Wally. We loved all of the pictures and updates we got from her. We look forward to taking our dog to her for future pet sitting needs. 100% would recommend her to a friend. She went above and beyond for us!”

Steph M.

“I would highly recommend having your dog stay with Val. I felt completely content and had no worries with leaving her at his house for one week and having her cared for by him. I know if there was an emergency that she would be in good hands. He has a great yard and she had a blast playing with the other doggies! Thanks, Val!”

Tanya R.

“Ben and Kassy were great. My dog Loki was very nervous and anxious and went above and beyond to help acclimate him to their place and their dogs. They also send me daily pictures and videos. By day 2, he was having a blast! Definitely will be using them again for future trips.”

About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats through personal pet ownership, animal shelter volunteering, fostering, and pet sitting for friends and family. During my undergraduate years, I spent several years volunteering at animal shelters and fostering animals with a wide range of ages, personalities, and care needs. I've cared for young puppies, kittens, adult cats, senior dogs, and older rescues who were still learning potty-training routines. Through these experiences, I've become comfortable working with shy, nervous, and anxious animals, as well as dogs who need extra patience on walks or tend to pull on the leash. I also have experience with basic puppy training, reinforcing commands, managing potty-training accidents, and caring for multiple pets at once. I'm experienced with administering both oral and injectable medications, and I understand the importance of carefully following each pet's specific care instructions. I grew up caring for my family's pug, who lived to be 15 years old, and I currently have a sweet 4 year old rescue dog. I've also fostered and cared for multiple dogs and cats in my home, so I'm familiar with managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. One of the biggest things fostering has taught me is that every animal is different. Some pets want to play all day, while others prefer quiet company or need a little extra time to warm up. I love getting to know each pet individually and making sure they receive the attention, patience, and affection that works best for them! I'm currently a graduate student at UW-Madison, and one of the best parts of my schedule is that my lab allows me very flexible hours! This gives me plenty of freedom throughout the week to work around your pet's routine and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Since I'm not tied to a traditional 9 to 5 schedule, I can make time for dog walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and overnight house sitting. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, your kitten wants some extra playtime, or your furry friend just needs someone to keep them company while you're away, I'm happy to help! I also have a 4 year old rescue dog of my own, so walks, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with animals are already part of my everyday routine. I'm available most days and am happy to coordinate around your pet's usual schedule. I know how important consistency is for animals, especially those who are younger, older, or a little anxious, and I'll do my best to keep their routine as comfortable and familiar as possible. And of course, I'll always make time for plenty of cuddles, playtime, and pictures of your little fur babies! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! Through my experience volunteering at animal shelters and fostering dogs and cats, I've learned how important it is to be patient, attentive, and respectful of each animal's individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for shy or anxious pets, energetic puppies, senior animals, and pets who may need a little extra attention or reassurance. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care needs. I also have experience administering oral and injectable medications and understand the importance of following the instructions provided for each pet. I live alone with my sweet 4 year old rescue dog, who gets along very well with other animals. I've also cared for multiple cats and dogs in my home before, so I understand the importance of paying attention to each pet's personality, comfort level, and boundaries. I'm mindful of keeping pets secure during walks, being attentive to their behavior, and making sure they feel comfortable in their surroundings. I also treat every client's home with care and respect. Communication is really important to me, so I'm always happy to send regular photos and updates during visits or overnight stays. I want you to be able to relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention while you're away!

“Erika was fantastic! We had flight changes and she was very accommodating and allowed us to add a night which helped relieve stress while traveling.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful, trustworthy, and genuinely caring dog sitter! I cannot recommend Ruth highly enough! She took wonderful care of my dog, Titou, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ruth was responsible, attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely committed to making sure Titou felt comfortable, happy, and safe. I particularly appreciated her excellent communication and regular updates, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while we were apart. Ruth clearly understands that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routines. She approaches pet care with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. She provided a welcoming, secure environment where Titou felt completely at home. Finding someone you can truly trust with your beloved companion is invaluable. Titou was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust Ruth with him again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and conscientious dog sitter!”

“From the beginning, Marlene was extremely flexible in coordinating Freya’s stay. Throughout Freya’s stay, I received consistent updates and pictures, which made me smile each time I saw them. I could tell, both from the pictures and from Freya’s great mood when I arrived for pick up, that she had fun and felt comfortable with Marlene. I was thrilled with Marlene’s services, and I would trust Freya with her any time. I highly recommend Marlene to anyone!!”

“It was an absolute delight to work with Annie! She provided exceptional care for Cinnamon and kept me updated with regular pictures and messages. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again anytime.”

“Rachel and Eric were amazing with our crazy puppy. Cleo was a hot mess, but they were so patient, communicative and understanding. They really went above and beyond to make her as comfortable as possible (Eric even slept with her in the living room her first night because she wouldn’t stop crying.) They gave her a ton of exercise, sent lots of updates, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.”

“Tom treated my puppy like his own, was accommodating on my last minute request, and gave me such piece of mind knowing my puppy would be cared for. Thank you!”

Calista L.

“Super nice family and home with fenced yard. We needed someone on short notice due to a family emergency. Katie and Samuel offered to be flexible with our return date which we greatly appreciated. Juneau seemed to have done fine.”

“Brad did an excellent job taking care of Madigan and she stayed comfortable even having heart disease. He truly cared about her and let her know it. I highly recommend Brad as an option for your dog's care.”
