“We have used Trisha’s services several times. She is very dependable and our cats love when she comes! She is conscientious about cleaning up and the house is the same as we left. We would use her service again without hesitation.”


“I’m a first time Rover user. I have 3 rescues and I needed Brie to watch 2 of them while we took one to University of Wisconsin-Madison Veterinary Hospital. Brie did a meet and greet, asked great questions, was comfortable with the dogs right away. She messaged me when I was worried about how they were doing and sent me pictures, too! She went above and beyond my expectations.”

About: Hi! I'm Breanna, an experienced pet lover and proud dog mom to two amazing German Shepherds who are truly my fur children. I know how important it is to have someone you trust to care for your pets, whether they have paws or whiskers, and I’m here to provide just that—loving, reliable, and personalized care. Although I work full-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate as much time as needed to each pet, based on your family’s preferences. I have hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages—from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets needing a softer touch. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with the care, patience, and love they deserve. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family member—whether they purr, bark, or do both! 🐶🐱❤️ As a fur mama pet care is 24/7 at my house. There is always mud to clean up, coats to brush, and toys to shred! I will care for your pet as if they were my own and to the best ability as I can to ensure they are living the life you allow them to!

“Landon was absolutely wonderful with my girls! He took great care of them, and spent a lot of time interacting with and loving up on them. Landon checked in often with pictures and communication. He left the house neat and tidy. I would highly recommend him to take great care of your pets and your home while you are away.”


About: My adoration of all kinds of animals and my attention to detail make me a wonderful choice to care for your fur babies. I have five animals that I help take care of, and experience with dogs of varied temperaments. I also have experience in administering medications orally. My schedule is flexible, with availability on most weekends during the summer, so I’m available for all of your vacation needs. As a graduated senior heading off to college in the fall, my availability is very flexible throughout this summer. I am also available to schedule last-minute bookings. I am well-versed in feeding, watering, crating, and walking animals. Plenty of time will be dedicated to playtime, snuggles, and lots of love! I will ensure all instructions given are followed to a tee, to give your pet the best care possible.

“Ashleigh was very accommodating to a last minute booking! Even went as far to pick up and drop off my dog from my house! And sent pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”


“Sasa did an amazing job with my dogs. They are a challenge I know. She handled them like they were her own. I would hire her again for sure. She was amazing with them.”


“I was so thankful Samuel was open to watching our little puppy! He watched my elderly dog Darla previously, and he was so patient with her as she was taking a lot of meds and needed TLC. He gave the same TLC to our new puppy, Olav. He's a handful and is learning his manners in classes/practice. Samuel took him outside to play and run off that energy often, and he was a happy little guy when we got home. Will definitely book again. Samuel is awesome! :-)”


“Emma was absolutely amazing to have watch my dog! She sent photo updates and I could tell my dog was very well taken care of! Highly recommend her to take great care of your pet!”

“Marisa was so great with our dog and cat! Our flights got cancelled and delayed multiple times and she was able to keep an eye on them. She gave us peace of mind through all the confusion and stress of traveling.”


About: I have always been a dog lover since I was young, I have had dogs basically my whole life and now I will be starting vet school in the fall! I currently am giving myself a break this summer before I start Vet School this August so doing pet care, walks, sitting will fit perfectly into my routine! I take my dog and my sisters dog for a 4 mile walk everyday. Growing up I had all the responsibilities of caring for a dog, feeding, walking, cleaning, etc. I have worked at two dog daycare boarding facilities for years (Heartland and Cedar Run)!
