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!
About: Hello, I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats of all personalities, and even farm animals! I have worked briefly with shy dogs with an unfortunate past, from young to elderly and have been responsible for administering medicine. I have experience leash-training dogs as well as a few other commands (Sit, Stay, Shake). I am very skilled with cats having had five over my lifetime as well as cat-sitting for friends and family. I also volunteer at an animal sanctuary where I am responsible for ducks, turkeys, and chickens, and sometimes pigs and goats! This includes feeding, cleaning up, replacing water, and at times carrying them. Four of the ducks I look after are blind. I have also cared for special needs cats and dogs who are blind, deaf, or have mobility issues. I love them all and look forward to helping care for your loved ones when traveling requires you to be separated. I do work 9 hour shifts at my day job, either 6am to 3pm or 7am to 4pm, so I am unable to do drop ins or walks during those time frames. My two days off every week are Thursday and Saturday. My availability is as follows for drop ins or walks: Mondays 4pm to 8pm Tuesdays 4pm to 8pm Wednesdays 4pm to 8pm Thursdays 1pm to 8pm Fridays 3:30pm to 8pm Saturdays 7am to 8pm Sundays 4pm to 8pm. For home stays, as long as your puppy is okay with that long day shift, I will walk them before I leave and immediately upon my return from work.
“Great experience overall. Sabrina was very flexible and accommodating on the front end making arrangements, and I felt very comfortable my cat was getting good care while I was away.”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 10 years old. My family has also had pets since I was born. We’ve always had a dog in our household, 2-3 cats, and we have a horse. When I got a puppy of my own I started using Rover for sitters. I’ve loved my experience with Rover and would love to give back and help pets as well! I am available for drop in visits, boarding, as well as overnight house sitting! I live in Cottage Grove in an animal friendly apartment complex. I look forward to meeting you and your animals! I work full time so I would be available at night for drop in visits, or walks, otherwise I am available to help more on the weekends too! I follow my client’s requests/directions very closely and always make sure to send plenty of updates and photos! I have plenty of experience with overnight dog sitting and will treat your home with the utmost respect! I work full time as a teacher in Sun Prairie. I am available after 3:30 pm Monday through Friday. Weekends are more open for boarding, drop-in visits, or house sitting. I welcome pets into my home by providing a safe and comfortable environment. They will be spoiled and loved while they are with me! Your pet will get all of the attention they need!
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.

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!”
