About: Hey Wisconsin pet parents! 🐾 With years of hands-on experience—including running a super-successful dog-sitting business in college—I’ve cared for all kinds of pups with love, patience, and know-how. As a professional animal nutritionist, I bring extra insight into keeping pets healthy and thriving. I have experience with farm animals and household animals! I’d love to swing by for drop-in visits and build my local crew right here in WI—I’m all in for you and your pup! As a responsible pet owner, I ensure my dog gets ample one-on-one time, and my job allows for flexible workdays, including the ability to work from home when needed. I prioritize my pet's care by taking breaks to go home and check on them on busier days, ensuring they receive the attention they need throughout the day. I extend the same level of personalized care to any pets under my care, maintaining routines and providing a nurturing environment to promote their well-being and happiness. Rest assured, when caring for your pet, I will follow all of your requests and treat them as if they were one of my own. With my knowledge and experience in animal care, as well as a genuine kindness towards animals, your pet will be in capable and compassionate hands. I am committed to providing the highest level of care and treating your pet with the utmost respect and attention they deserve.

“Alyssa did an amazing job caring for our two dogs. This was our first time using Rover, and we were completely impressed with Alyssa's reliability and caring nature. She was prompt with every drop in visit, spent time with our dogs, and gave daily updates. I will DEFINITELY contact and use Alyssa's services again.”

About: I have had my own pets since college, but grew up with dogs. I’ve had a range of dogs from border collies, to labs, to Great Danes, to Basset hounds. I also have had numerous cats. All of my dogs have lived long, exceptionally spoiled lives, and I follow current dog training suggestions for behavior. I’ve raised a few litters of Danes, and most recently, a litter of Bassets. I have a full time job during the week so am really only available on weekends, but depending on location, exceptions can be made especially if it is for just check-ins. I’m willing to come to your home and follow your pet rules so your pets stay comfortable and safe, and don’t have their routine disrupted.

About: I’ve been a proud dog owner for over 15 years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pups. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve volunteered at local animal shelters, where I helped walk, feed, and socialize dogs from all backgrounds. I'm comfortable with a variety of breeds and activity levels, and I always tailor my approach to each dog’s individual needs, whether it’s a long walk for an active dog, playtime and enrichment for a curious pup, or calm companionship for an older one. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, safe, and loved. I don't have much experience with cats but am eager to learn and help any cat parent that needs it. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to check on or walk pets during the day or anytime during the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your dog, visiting for a drop in, or staying in your home, I make sure each pet feels relaxed, secure, and loved. During walks, I always use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior and surroundings. For drop in visits, I follow your routine for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks to keep things consistent and stress free. When staying in your home, I treat your space with respect and keep everything clean and tidy while maintaining your pet’s usual schedule.

About: I have dog/cat sat for neighbors when I was younger and I am a huge animal lover. I have experience and will spoil your pet. I currently work Mon-Fri 8am-5pm looking to find a little side gig taking care of peoples pets so they can enjoy getting away every now and then. On leash depends on how the customer cares for their dog. I’m a huge pet lover and love to take care of any size dog or cat.

About: Hi there! I’m a dedicated pet lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. At home, I share my life with two wonderful dogs and a cat, who keep me on my toes and remind me every day why I love animals so much. I have extensive experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, including dogs with mild special needs. I’m very comfortable administering medications (oral, topical—whatever your pup requires) and have done so many times with calm confidence. One of my own dogs struggles with reactivity, so I’ve developed strong skills in managing reactive dogs safely. I know how to read body language, stay calm under pressure, maintain control during walks or encounters, and use positive techniques to keep everyone safe and stress-free. If your dog needs a patient, understanding sitter who won’t get flustered, I’m your person! Beyond dogs, I also have experience caring for cats, rabbits, and even chickens, so I’m happy to look after multi-pet households or other small animals. I work a full-time job Tuesday through Thursday, but I’m mostly available Mondays, Fridays, and full available most weekends for house sitting, drop-ins, or walks. Your pets will get plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and personalized attention during those times—I treat every pet like family. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or feathered!) friends and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work full time, but am able to work from home Mondays and Fridays and am usually home for weekends. During my work from home days I can occasionally slip away from my work to check in on your pet. It doesn’t matter to me if you have a fenced yard, I will gladly take your dog for a long walk to get all of their energy out. I have never believed letter a dog out in a fenced yard is enough exercise. Dogs need physical and mental stimulation.

About: Hi! I’m Kasi and I live in Mineral Point, WI I've grown up with pets my entire life. After losing my dog Lacey in 2021, it's felt quite strange not having a pet close by. I've taken care of both dogs and cats for over 4 years. Neighbors family and friends have counted on me to walk, feed, and make sure they go to the bathroom. I also work part time at a local pet daycare center so I've gotten to know pets very quickly. Each pet I've cared for has left their pawprint on my heart in some way shape or form-and forever will! I currently work remotely in Mineral Point, and also work full time for a non profit organization. I am able to stop by if you ever need me to. I have stayed at family homes to provide care for pets. I adhere to any instructions provided by each pet owner to ensure they maintain the same schedule before, during and after my stay. I ensure to maintain constant communication with pet owners, and let them know how their pet is doing.

“Laura did a wonderful job of caring for our kitty while we were away and provided some bonus help for us like getting the mail and watering our flower pots! We appreciate her help so much!”

“Mackena was the only one to get my dog to eat while I was away for 4 days. My mom (who watches her regularly) and another dog sitter couldn’t get her to eat. I think she was stressed. Mackena went out and bought new dog food which my dog ate! She even told me not to worry about the extra cost. Her response ‘I’m just happy to help’. She is definitely my go to!”

For client’s homes, I always follow instructions given to provide the utmost comfort and familiarity for your pet.
