“Kathy is absolutely amazing! She takes such good care of our dog Camo and treats him like her own dog. Kathy puts so much love, attention and care into every visit. She is dependable, professional and communicates so well with us. We are truly grateful Kathy and highly recommend her!”
“Ashlyn did an excellent job with my scaly babies (bearded dragons and geckos)! Not only did she do the required check in for each drop in visit, but she got everyone to eat without me there (something no sitter has done in 6 years). Will definitely use Ashlyn again, whenever I leave town next.”
“Chelsea took a great care of our cat while we were on a trip. She also shared lots of photos of our cat during the drop in visits, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend Chelsea!”
About: I love dogs so much. My girl is part of the family. I do have a yard leash I use to ensure your pet is safe. I'd be more than glad to meet up in advanced or do a trial day. Please understand my dog is very important to me and my lifeline, so I understand how important your loved one is to you. I am a new mother and want to find a way to stay home with my little one. Thats why im looking for regular customers to care for. I do work during the day but I am able to run home if need be. My boyfriend is home during the day to be with the baby. That is why I want someone who can play with Ellie and keep her company durring those times. I enjoy running so ai can take the dogs with me. I let them have the run of most of the house. I close the bedroom doors when I'm gone but otherwise their free to tear up, chew, and run to their hearts content.
“Heather was wonderful! Clover was well taken care of and enjoyed the walks and play time she had with Heather. We really appreciated the pictures showing that our girl was enjoying her visits. 10/10 highly recommend Heather's services!”
“Cassandra is so friendly and did a wonderful job with with my pets! My dog is pretty shy but from the pictures sent while I was gone, she looked pretty comfortable with Cassandra. She followed through with all instructions perfectly. Thanks so much, Cassandra!”
About: My name is Amber, and I am a recent graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville with a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with an emphasis in Veterinary Medicine. I will be attending Veterinary Medical school in the fall, and crowned a Doctor in 2030. My passion for animal care and medicine began at a young age as an intern in a veterinary clinic as a sophmore in high school. From that point forward, my career goals and purpose were solidified. I currently work in a veterinary hospital from 8am-5pm Tuesday-Friday, and a half day on Saturday. If located in town and necessary, I can always do a check-in on my lunch break. Otherwise, before and after my shift would be the typical visitation routine. When caring for your pets, they will be treated as my own. If servicing in your home, I will treat the area with respect and stick to their normal routine. If they are coming to my house, I live in a two story house with a sizeable yard, but it does lack a fence. I am more than happy to accommodate whatever their needs may be!
About: Hello my name is Eli I’ve had dogs and cats all my life so I feel fairly well trained to take care of your pets needs as well. My grandpa was a veterinarian so I spent a lot time growing up learning how to take care for animals being around him. My family and Friends have relied on me to take care of their pets in the past and I hope you will too. I am a college student and I have breaks throughout the day that I generally go home or in your case hopefully take care of your house or animal. And my nights are almost free every night. I would like to say that I will try to keep your homes and your pets safe and happy while keeping the house the way I found it when I arrive. I pride myself in being a polite, caring and empathetic person so I hope to please the client in anyway I can help.
“Jessica was amazing! It’s obvious she loves animals and we were able to have peace of mind because of her extensive experience with animals. We would love to have Jessica watch Clementine again!!”
“Samantha is AMAZING! She was so good with our high maintenance kitty and followed all of our directions. She even searched all of her hiding spots so she could check on her and send us a pic. Would recommend!!”
About: I’ve owned a dog for about 6 years, but I’ve been around dogs and cats for my whole life. I have experience with food aggression, and things of that nature. Above all, I’m extremely patient and willing to take the best care of your pet! I work 3 days a week, and am usually available 4 days a week, as well as early or later on the days that I do work. My dog is a high energy Australian shepherd. We go for 2+ mile walks daily as well as other forms of mental stimulation! I have no problem taking your dog on a long walk or playing typical pet games!
About: I have taken care of different types of animals for 8+ years. Growing up, my family has had 3 Labrador Retrievers and a cat, which is where my love for animals stems from. I have experience giving medications, dog walking, and simply giving pets to ensure they are loved. I would love to meet your dog and ensure they are taken care of while you are away! I do work a full-time job, which means my early mornings and nights are available for pet care (lunchtime hours as needed). Additionally, my weekends are very free for home stays/visits. Before taking care of someone’s pet in their own home I am sure to ask for all information regarding their normal routine, neighbors, what to look out for, etc. I make sure to follow the owner’s guidance to ensure your pet has a safe and comfortable experience with me.
About: Although I’m new to offering dog sitting services professionally, I have regularly assisted friends and family with their pets, learning how important consistency, patience, and individualized care is. Being trusted in their homes and with their animals has helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. I’m currently working a part time job where I have Tuesday’s off entirely and some days I am only working half days on certain days of the week. I am flexible with my hours and can be available most Tuesday’s and Fridays and part time on Wednesdays. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same care and responsibility I would expect of my own. I follow instructions carefully, maintain clear communication, and prioritize safety at all times.
About: I grew up with multiple dogs in my home. And have always had a natural draw to them. Will gladly go above and beyond to provide them all the love and care while you're gone I currently have a couple part time endeavors and am able to create my own schedule, so am open to weekends and weekdays. Very flexible. I cater to all pets needs when in your home. Including walking, potty breaks, feeding, cleaning up after them, etc. Willing to get mail, and if there's any extras needed by the homeowner
Over 98 pet parents in Dubuque have booked cat sitting
Dubuque cat parents share their Rover experiences
Genesys was great! If I need someone to check on my little guy while traveling again, I know who to rebook. Genesys was reliable and communicative, and also diligent when attending to unexpected snags in the beginning - such as my cat's bumpy first day without me there, and figuring out schedule / communication with a 6 hour time difference. We hit a good flow, my cat warmed up to Genesys quickly, and I came home after 2 weeks to a happy little fellow!
