House Sitting in Deer Park

“Leah stayed with our two cats for a week while we were on vacation. We got daily updates and photos. You can tell she really cares about their well-being and knows how to go to “speak cat!””

“Greg and his girlfriend, Hannah, were so wonderful. My flight got delayed and I had to find a sitter to watch my two pups for the same day and they were fast to respond and very accommodating! Greg seemed super knowledgeable and sent me updates and pictures of my dogs! They were respectfully of my home and left it just as they found it! Definitely will book with him again :)”

About: I am super fun and energetic. I absolutely love to play and take care of animals. I have a certification in Dog Psychology & Training and I'm available for overnight visits! I'm available for any of your daytime needs for your pet. I have owned, and still own, many dogs in the past so I have no problems with breed restrictions and I'm not hesitant with any dog. If you are looking for someone who will genuinely care for your pet and give them the care they deserve, I'm here! Please consider me when you're looking for a person to care care of your little, or big furry friend! Thank you so very much! I have 3 cats of my own and my parents have 2 dogs, so I'm constantly taking care of animals. I also have 5 foster kittens that mix into my daily routine! Pets in my home are well taken care of. They are given all the food and supplements they need! They also always have clean litter and a vacuumed space, so they don't track litter around the house.

About: As a retired registered nurse, this lifelong passion now extends beyond the hospital and office to my furry friends. Between my own pets and foster pets, over the years, my spouse and I have cared for as many as 20 dogs and 5 cats (not at the same time!). I've adopted 2 dogs with special needs including a chihuahua with a seizure disorder that required daily anti-seizure medication and emergency PR valium and a terrier with kidney failure and anemia. I've taken care of puppies and seniors I've volunteered and support our local animal shelters, ASPCA & SPCA. Scaling back for retirement, we now have a two 5 pound Chihuahua mixes that we love to the moon and back! This Spring, we fostered 2 Chihuahuas from the local Animal Alliance and helped to find forever homes bringing true joy to many hearts. Now it's time to show my love and compassion for your pet! Newly retired, I have more time to love on my dogs. I wake up when I hear their first whimper or bark. I take them to my small fenced back yard for 1st potty. They play a bit while I make a cup of coffee. Then I make their breakfast. Making sure everyone is getting along and not stealing anyone's food. After eating we go out for second potty break. We play inside for a while then cuddle on the couch for AM news. Play time could mean a walk if needed or a game of fetch. When I'm away pet sitting your Pets, my spouse maintains our pet care routine. First and foremost I will make sure your dog is SAFE. Making sure they are not eating or chewing on the wrong things or running out an open door or gate. I will follow your instructions to maintain your dogs routine for feeding, elimination, exercise, play, cuddling, napping and sleeping. All animals enjoy routine, consistency and kindness and I will do my best to provide all this and more to for your pets while you are away.

“Robert was very attentive to our dog. He took him on walks and spent a lot of time hanging out with him. He kept us updated throughout our trip and sent lots of pictures. We were very happy with him. I would highly recommend him and will use him again!”

“We hired Alyssa over Thanksgiving while we went out of the country for the holiday. We chose to have her stay at the house with Yuki because he’s a recent rescue and still a little anxious about his life. Alyssa stopped by a few days before our trip to meet our dog and make sure they were a good fit. They made fast friends and we booked her for the week. Alyssa kept in touch with us by sending texts and pictures throughout our trip to ensure us that Yuki was happy and thriving! Upon arriving home, we found the house in perfect order and she even washed the sheets and folded them up for us! She also wrote us a letter detailing the week and how Yuki did while she was watching him. I couldn’t recommend Alyssa enough! She was excellent with my (sometimes nervous) dog. I would definitely use her again in the future. Worth every penny!”

“I would highly recommend Val to anyone! This was my first time using Rover and I admit to being a little nervous at first. But as soon as I met Val, I knew that our 3 dogs and older cat would be in excellent hands. While away I received video and photos and text updates. Even our cat, who is normally shy around new people, was Val’s best friend within no time! I would gladly call on Val again in the future.”

“Sharon was amazing and so kind your dogs. She sent us updates while we were away and photos. Sharon was so respectful to our home and we loved her!”

Amy P.

“Kayla was awesome. She stayed at our place with our older pup and new puppy. Sent us updates and pictures. We felt totally confident in leaving our pups with her so we could go and relax. Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”

“Wendy watched our shepherd mix, Dakota, while we were abroad for 8 nights. Prior to our trip, Dakota got diagnosed with an illness that required twice a day antibiotics to be given. Wendy made me feel at ease that this would be no problem. I received many updates and knew that Dakota was being very well cared for! Wendy is very thoughtful and kind. She has a very sweet manner with dogs. On a windy day she double checked that Dakota’s outdoor fence had no damage. I greatly appreciate Wendy’s care for my girl!”

About: I grew up with a chihuahua who was part of our family for 11 years, and I currently help care for our 4-year-old rescued Australian shepherd/pit bull mix. I especially enjoy going on walks and getting to know each dog’s personality while hanging out. I graduated from UW–Madison in May and am currently in my gap year before starting medical school. While I’m applying for a gap year job, my schedule is pretty flexible on both weekdays and weekends right now! I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog who loves having company. He’s free to roam the house during the day and sleeps in a crate at night. I’m happy to follow a routine that works best for your dog.

“We had a wonderful experience with Danielle as our in-home dog sitter! Even though it was just for a day, she made a big impression. Finn was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Danielle followed all our instructions perfectly, sent us plenty of updates and photos, and treated our home with the utmost respect. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Finn was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and responsible sitter. Thank you again!”

“Talia was the best pet sitter we've had in 12 years. She spent tons of time with the animals and they really liked her. Both our 15 month old German Shepherd Dog and Siamese cat usually warm up to strangers very slowly, but they sure seemed to love her right away! Lots of pics and communication from Talia kept the worry down too. Book Talia as first choice if you can!”

About: I played tennis in college so I can keep up with any level of activity with dogs, running or walking! I grew up with small dogs but worked with larger dogs later in life. I have worked for Wag, so I have experience working for a pet care company. I work until 5pm most days, but I am off some Saturdays and every Sunday. I am looking to walk/run in evenings or dog sit when needed! I currently don't have my own pet, but I would love to fill that time with caring for one. I am very respectful of a client's demands and I am comfortable with keeping my pets, or those I care for, understanding of the house rules. If a pet is required to stay out of certain rooms, I can assure it will stay that way.

About: I have had pets of all verities for most of my life. I have had Pomeranians, boxers, vizslas, rabbits and cats as personal pets and I have helped friends, family and neighbors with their pet care. Pet sitting is something I enjoy doing. I currently a nutritional services department in catering department for a private school. I would be available for pet care or walks in the evening and over night care during the week. On the weekends or Fridays through Monday morning I am available for around the clock over night pet care. I treat all pets as if they are my own. I will do anything the owner asks in terms of pet care. If you need medication‘s administered, walks, take them to the vet whatever it is you need. I will be more then happy to help I love animals and I love the company of them.

“Finding Kathleen has truly been a Godsend! She watched our puggle Hailey while my wife and I were out of town for our wedding. Hailey warmed up to her very quickly and was so happy to see her when she came over. Kathleen has been so sweet and kind to our puppy and we could not have asked for a better experience. She even took beautiful professional pictures of her and provided regular updates while we were gone. Kathleen was incredibly attentive to Haileys needs and administered medicine to her with no problem which was our biggest concern. She also made sure to keep her active by taking her on long walks multiple times daily. We highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a great dog walker/ Sitter. We will definitely be using her services moving forward.”

“Rachel was a fantastic pet and house sitter! A true animal lover, Rachel was very attentive and thoughtful when it was time to go over care for my high maintenance dog and 2 cats. She went above and beyond to make sure my pets and I were comfortable with the arrangements. Rachel also helped out with every house sitting task that I asked of her. All three animals really enjoyed having Rachel stay with them, and appreciated that she knew their usual routine. I hope to book Rachel for her services again in the future. Thanks Rachel!!”
