“Miranda is thoughtful, thorough, and so compassionate. She took excellent care of our four cats, one of whom is elderly and ill and on his final chapter. We felt so relieved knowing that he was in good hands while we were away.”
“Amy took great care of our senior dog and was very patient as he warmed up to her. She provided multiple pictures each drop-in and left detailed descriptions of how our dog was doing, so we knew he was in good hands while we were away. We will definitely use Amy for our next trip!”
“Our first time using Marissa for drop-in visits could not have gone more smooth! She was very personable and easy to work with. Also, very attentive and made sure our pup had a wonderful time while we were away! Highly recommend and will absolutely use her services again for future trips.”
“Paul is very good with my elderly cat. I loved the pictures and the updates! I was able to relax while away knowing that Maynard was in good hands with Paul! I've already got Paul engaged for my next trip!”
About: I’ve grown up with big dogs my entire life. I’m not afraid of any dog and am willing to accommodate to any of their needs since both of my dogs currently require individual care for their medical needs! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pups!! Weekends I am also pretty free since I’m not in school currently and off for the summer! I have 2 dogs myself and I get up with them in the mornings, let them out, feed them, and play with them every morning. I usually then in the afternoon take them out again for an afternoon potty break and play with them outside again. Finally, around 5, I will feed both of them and take them on a nightly walk. I also love to cuddle with my dogs at home and give them lots of treats!!
“Megan was amazing with my cat, Suge. She gave him fresh food & water, was kind enough to empty his litter box on each of her visits and spent some quality time with Suge making sure he knew he was loved. If I leave for another vacation and need someone to check in on Suge…she will be my first call.”
“Jeaneé is the best. We’ve used her several times now. We always get pictures of the adventures they have together, and updates! We know our animals appreciate having her around.”
About: Hello! I’d love to care for your pet! I’ve grown up with larger dogs, and have a 9 year old yellow lab, Moose. She is my fur baby and tends to get spoiled. We are active (walks and dog park visits), as I want your pet to enjoy him/herself. I am a teacher, so my availability is open more so in the summer and holidays. My husband and I do not have any additional children yet, so my schedule can include your pet! I can wash and dry pets, feed them, walk them, brush them, play with them, etc. I house/pet sit for family and friends, and am comfortable around most animals. I’m almost always guilty of asking to pet dogs while doing errands, because that’s just where my heart is. I’d love to give your doggo some love, attention, and fun. I am a teacher, so right now my availablity is just the weekends. However, I am available for longer breaks (holidays and spring!), vacations, and summer. I like to give the pets attention (play or pet them/spend time with them) and keep them engaged and entertained. I like walking and hiking, so taking them for walks or to a park is great!
“Amanda was courteous, prompt and professional. She provided consistent updates and communication for each visit. She demonstrated tremendous patience with our very shy cat. I would highly recommend her and would not hesitate to book her again.”
About: I want you to have someone reliable while you’re away that you can trust to take great care of your pets. I am willing to work around your needs and those of your pet. Foster mom through Wisconsin Humane Society Society. I am available for dog walking daily, and happy to have your dog stay at my house or yours while you are away. You can feel safe and confident that your pet will be well taken care of. I have an unfenced yard, but your pet will always be leashed while outside when under my care. You can feel safe and confident that your pet will be well taken care of.
About: I grew up with pets and excitedly awaited the day I could get one of my own (which I’ve now had for four years). Always having animals around made me realize how important each individual animal’s routine and needs are. I am comfortable and confident in checking in on them, giving walks, feeding them, and working on commands they are trying to learn! I have summers off, so I am available throughout the day during the week. When the school year starts back up, my availability shifts to early morning hours and late afternoon. I prioritize spending time with my dog each day both indoors and outside, so I would be comfortable doing the same for pets in my care! Depending on the personality/needs of the dogs in my care, I am happy to take them around on walks with the ability to socialize other dogs that pass, or to give them space/separation from others if need be!
“Fantastic sitter! She was available on short notice and managed to make it over to walk our dogs despite some things that came up for her personally. Very professional and kept us well informed of what was going on with the pups while she was over. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Sarah is very good with the dogs! She was great about helping me change the booking when I had it on the wrong day. She still came over and took care of them right away after my mistake.”
“Second time we have booked Zarah, this time for drop in visits. She was a great communicator, each time sending pictures of our pups and giving us updates. Extremely thankful we have found Zarah to take care of our dogs!”
About: I have experience with dogs and cats my whole life. I have always been an animal lover! I currently have one 3 year old Golden Retriever who I love and adore. Having to leave my own dog to go on vacation or needing someone to drop-in or bring him for a walk can be stressful. My dog is my family and I want to know he is in good hands while I’m away. I will take care of your pets like they are my own! Every dog is different and needs different care and I will be there to give your dog their essential needs, exercise, belly rubs and love while you’re away! Any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to me. I work part-time so I am very flexible for your pets needs and this gives me a lot more time to spend with them as well. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I am good with putting on harnesses and maintaining control while your dog walks on a leash.

Karlee P.
“Karlee gave both dogs the special individual attention they needed. She gave us great updates. We are looking forward to using her services in the future.”
Julianna M.
“Julianna is just a natural with pets. She’s grown up with large dogs. We have two currently and the bond she has with them both is unmistakable. Our rescue dog came to us with anxiety and lack of confidence. He’s done fabulous because of Julianna’s love, and is her sleepover buddy whenever she’s home from college. He will only do sleep overs with her I’ll add. Our dogs both clearly respect her as a “pack leader”. She knows exactly how to establish boundaries and discipline for their behavior. She also is highly attentive with any home based medical needs that come up - ear drops, first aid care of cuts, scratches, etc. She provides baths, no small task given their sizes and energy! I trust and have total confidence always in Julianna with our dogs. I’ve learned much from her even! She’s fantastic with pets and anyone will be very fortunate to have her for their Rover caretaker.”

“Nicholas was great with our dog! Very happy with his tentative response and his ability to get us in on such short notice.”
Kimberlee V.
“Kim was a pleasure to work with when I boarded by greyhound, Vinny, with her. Vinny is fairly low-maintenance, but Kim went above and beyond nonetheless to ensure that he had a smooth transition to her home. She provided daily pictures and updates about Vinny while I was away, giving me peace of mind in knowing that he was in a safe place. Would recommend Kim for any dog owner who's looking to make sure their pup has a comfortable, loving home to go to while they're away.”
Amanda K.
“As an animal care professional, my standards for animal wellness are very high. Amanda exceeds all expectations; I would trust any pet with her! Your furry family member will be treated as family and so well loved/taken care of! I personally have seen how well Amanda cares for not only her own dog/how much she is loved, but also for everyone else’s around her. She’s one of the few people I would trust and continually come back to! I absolutely would recommend that you book with Amanda, you won’t regret it!”
