“Michelle regularly does check ins and has done a couple overnights for my pup. She arrives on time, takes great care of my dog, communicates, follow instructions, and sends lots of pics. She is incredibly nice and attentive to my pup and also this nervous dog mom lol. I am very selective in who let care for my gentle giant; I trust Michelle completely and know my baby is in amazing hands. She treats my dog like one of her own, his schedule is followed, and he gets to relax at home with lots of love while I am a way. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could! We are grateful for her at our house!”

“Our little fur baby LOVES Korah! Our pup can be quite particular but Korah’s warm and trusting demeanor made them fast friends quicker than I expected. Korah is an excellent communicator and I can tell she puts her whole heart into every visit. We will definitely be continuing to have Korah drop in and walk our little pup. So grateful to have her!”

About: In the past few years I have raised 3 puppies. A shiba inu, Great Pyrenees and St.Bernard/Alaskan malamute mix☺️ So I have experience with big and little dogs! I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up as well and my neighbors had me watch their pets for them. I’m comfortable bathing, walking, feeding, playing and pretty much anything else! I can’t wait to hear from you!(: I’m currently a self employed artist, this makes my schedule extremely flexible! I’m always looking for more things to fill my days and give me a reason to get out and about☺️ I will continue any routines you have for your pets so they feel at home! I currently have one dog and one cat, but I don’t live alone so I can help you out without having to worry about my future babies not being taken care of! I love bringing pets for walks or just lounging out depending on what they like☺️

“We appreciate the love and care you gave our pups today! We gave extremely short notice and you accommodated us and we thank you for helping our family out on such short notice!”

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. Ive dealt with multiple dogs at once, all with different personalities. From shy, energetic, to reactive. I have done everything from daily walks, to overnight stays for clients. Handling the different routines. Another plus is that I grew up fostering dogs, so I have experience with a lot of different breeds creating a very patient and observant demeanor. I am currently working part-time and looking for some extra work. My availability is pretty flexible as long as you are as well! I can either do stop by's for walks once a day, or a multiple day care schedule, with 2-4 hours of being out of the house. I'd love to chat and work something out! When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, and any house rules. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of bathroom breaks, and safe, supervised time outside. I spend quality time with each pet, whether that means playing, training practice, gentle cuddles, or just giving them company so they don’t feel alone. It is all about respect and I respect your home also respect your home, treating your space the same way I’d want mine treated.

About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of dogs since I was young. My family has a 14 year old Great Dane who I consider my baby. We have also had other smaller dogs such as a mini Aussie doodle and an Italian greyhound. I have been pet sitting dogs since I was in middle school and I always enjoyed spending time with every dog I met. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and I have experience with lifting and carrying very large senior dogs with difficulty jumping, as well as caring for dogs with sundowners. I’m also pretty good at getting most dogs to take their meds. I’m a college student so I mostly have evenings and weekends free. Getting a few hours in outside of my regular schedule is really helpful to me. I am very respectful of your space and I want to make sure the dog feels comfortable most of all. I will carefully read the list of tasks I’m left and make sure that everything gets done so that you can come back home with no concerns about your house or your pet.

“Bear was well exercised. Pictures were timely. Took excellent care of him.”

About: My mom had rescue dogs and cats my entire childhood, and I always helped care for them as her oldest daughter. My mom adopted dogs big and small - as big as a golden retriever, and as little as a chihuahua, and often cared for multiple cats at a time. I grew up in California, where my family pets live with my parents - three dogs and two cats. My cat Momo moved to Eau Claire with me. My parents are planning to retire here, which will be a big move, especially with so many animals, so when the time comes, I’ll be helping move their pets. After living in Eau Claire for a month or so, I house and pet sat for my cousin while she was working on a project out of town for a few months. I bonded with her German Shepherd, Lobo, through long walks and runs, and fell in love with her tiny cat Duchess. Later that winter, while I was still doing the long-term pet sit for my cousin, one of her friend’s rescued a cat who had been abandoned. Due to her living situation, she couldn’t take it in immediately, so Lobo and Duchess had Zia as a guest living with us for a month or so. Beyond helping out my family, I have friends whose animals I help care for on occasion too. One friend reaches out when she needs to go out of town, and I will do check ups or come stay with her needy and sweet cat-named-Kitty. Another friend and I meet up to walk downtown with her cutie little dog Lotta. I record all my walks and runs on Strava, and enjoy posting photos and videos of my furry companions, so if I walk with your pup, I would be happy to share photos if you ask! Last summer, I looked after my co-worker’s chickens and garden for a 3-day weekend, so I’m open to learning how to care for other pets beyond cats and dogs too! I work part-time at the flower shop and my schedule varies week to week based on their need, but I have lots of free time between weekdays and the weekend - I always have a free Sunday. I can easily arrange my schedule to allow for plenty of time between walks, play time, or check ups with animals. I will be brand new to Rover and open to meeting pets’ needs and routines as their human typically would! Right now, beyond my cat Momo, the only other animals I care for are my cousin’s dog and cat when she’s traveling and needs me to fill in, and I care for them as she would - from feeding routines to play time, walks, and cleaning.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, I’ve worked with seniors and puppies and everything in between! I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare and have done lots of grooming for both cats and dogs! I am available night and day! I am easy to reach and am ready to come at any time! I am a stay at home cat mom! I have 2 cats of my own, I give them the best nutrition and brain stimulation! I am constantly researching the best for both cats and dogs!

About: I want to help parents feel at ease if they have to be away from their fur babies. Let me make your away from home less stressful. I am available everyday for drop in visits, playtime or daily walks. I am available all weekend for extended visits and have reliable vehicle for travel or car rides I have a spare bedroom available as a doggie room or cat room if your pet would like more privacy and a fenced in back yard for safety but extra play space to exercise your pet.

About: I know what it takes for a dog to have a wonderful time! Too many dogs spend their days stuck in a kennel, and it breaks my heart. I also believe that it helps a dog to stay in familiar surroundings. I offer in-home pet-sitting, not just for your convenience, but for the best interests of your dog. I’ve raised dogs all my life. Over time, my interests turned to breeding and showing. I presently have my own dogs, Stanley and Stella. 2 mini shar pei. These experiences have made me deeply aware of what a dog needs to be happy and healthy. Meet-and-greets are essential for obtaining all necessary information in advance of the sit and making sure everyone gets along well. You’re entrusting me with both your dog and your home, and I treat that responsibility with the utmost seriousness. I’ll be punctual, and will ask about everything I need to know during the sit. During the stay, I will maintain a daily diary of what your dog and I are up to, so that when you return, you’re assured we had a fantastic time. I have been showing and breeding for over 30 yrs. we had a thriving pet sitting/transport company for many years before retiring to Wisconsin. Don't trust your pets to just anyone. Trust in my experience!! I am able to administer meds either orally or via injection. I am safety conscious and care for your beloved pets! I provide drop in service and house sitting. Iprovide additional services like watering plants and bringing in mail at no additional charge. I pet sit for bogs, cats, birds and horse. Little friends also like gerbils or snakes !! Trust your pet care to an experienced pet sitter ! Feel free to contact me with any questions or for more information. I work full time with Rover. I have a busy schedule so let’s chat and see if I’m available during your time of need a pet sitting or housesitting. I only do care in your home. I do not do any boarding. My belief is your pet will be more comfortable in his own surroundings. This makes for a stress-free pet sitting

“Winnie loved Desiree, as did we! She will be my go to any time we need drop in care.”

About: Hi! I’m a big animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs, cats, and any other pets! I’m happy to match your pet’s energy and routine. My family has always had pets growing up, and I’m always the one seeking out the pets at any gathering. I love earning their trust, making them feel comfortable, and making a new furry friend. While I don’t have any pets of my own right now, I absolutely adore all of my family’s pets whenever I get to see them or care for them! I work as a barista during the days, typically a 6 hour shift sometime in the morning or during the day. Whenever I am not on shift I will be able to care for your pets! My schedule varies occasionally so if you aren’t sure if a day will work, please reach out! When caring for pets, I focus on making sure they are happy, comfortable, and feel loved. I take the time to learn about each pet so I can match their energy and routine. I make sure they get plenty of attention whether that be through playtime or cozy snuggles, and follow all of their care instructions.

About: I am a mother of both the human and furry type! I truly believe our pets are a member of the family. I've had dogs, puppies, cats, kitties, guinea pigs, fish, toads, frogs, you name it, Ive had them! I love them all! I grew up with pets and feel there is no love like your dogs love! I Currently have two dogs, one of which is a Great Pyrenees that I have rehabilitated from a broken leg he sustained at nine months old. So I really do know the dedication and love it takes to care for an animal. I'd love to help anyone out with their dog needs. I'm also willing to help out with other animals in the home if needed. I love kitties too..

About: I grew up with taking care of multiple family dogs. As an adult, I have dog-sat and cat-sat for multiple family members. Although I currently do not have any pets of my own, I would love to help you care for your own! I am a kindergarten teacher, so I am usually gone Monday-Friday 6:30am-5:00pm. Weekend availability will just depend on the weekend! I am certainly willing to be flexible, because I just absolutely love animals! I have an open back yard that I share with other neighbors.

About: My wife Courtney and I grew up with cats and dogs as pets our entire lives and currently have two pets of our own. We currently have a female golden doodle, Lucy and a three legged cat, Donna! We recently lost our older little dachshund and it has left a huge hole in our family. We have experience with dogs of all sizes and have kept dogs up to three weeks with the owners out of country! Fun fact: I am a Chiropractor and have experience with adjusting animals as well! Courtney works a flexible schedule and we have an animal-loving daughter that attends UWEC who will give your pets all the attention they can handle when she’s around! Your pets will be in great hands and recieve lots of love when staying with us. We love cuddling on the couch, walking the trails in our neighborhood, playing tug with all Lucy’s favorite toys and playing fetch in the back yard. Drew works Monday through Friday but finishes seeing patients at 12pm on Fridays so he is available for afternoon drop offs through Sunday night for pickup. Our “during the week” availability depends on the needs of your pet which can be discussed before booking! Courtney’s schedule is flexible and can provide potty breaks throughout the day and occasionally works from home. We have an open back yard and live at the end of a cul de sac so your pets will be safe to play. We also have walking paths through our dog friendly, low traffic neighborhood. We spend lots of time outside with our dog and can provide a safe environment for yours as well. We never leave our dog outside alone since we do not have a fenced yard. We can provide a tie out if you have any worries about your dog not responding to a new persons commands. There is plenty of time spent lounging on the couch watching movies or hanging out while we play cards or board games as well. Since our daughter is off to college, we have a pretty quiet, laid back house, which can be nice for anxious pets. Your companion will have no lack of attention when they stay with us including lots of snuggles and treats (if that’s okay with you!)!
