About: I've been around animals of all kinds my entire life; cats, dogs, fish, iguanas, guinea pigs, rats...you name it! I've been the go-to sitter for my friends and family for years and take great pride in providing in-home care to their furry (or scaly) family members. There isn't a bigger lover of animals out there! I am the Development Director for ALIVE Rescue in Salem Lakes, WI and volunteer with the animals on a weekly basis. I am certified in fear free training and have experience handling dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and temperaments from puppies to seniors. I have a reputation for cultivating immediate bonds with those that are often considered shy, timid, or unsure of people. I have a special place in my heart for these kind souls and truly believe that all they are is miss-understood. I do my best to offer them a safe space to be themselves – whatever that might look like. I take my time to earn their trust and let them drive how much and how quickly we interact. I believe in my heart of hearts that animals are the purest form of love we have on this planet, and I think they are able to feel that through my energy. I work from home full time which allows me to pay extra special attention to your fur babies. I can make frequent potty breaks, administer medications, or just provide love and cuddles throughout the day. Your pet is my number one priority, I'm here to help you and your fur baby and will take any and all care instructions to heart. I think it's important to keep any schedules and routines as consistent as possible and will take just as good care of your home as I will your four legged angels.

“Liz took the best care of our two dogs. One of our dogs is a bit nervous and she was great about the needs of each dog with different personalities. It was our first time to be away during the night without the dogs and they were perfectly fine with Liz making several stops throughout the day. We will definitely ask for Liz to care for our dogs in the future. She’s very good about communicating and prompt with all the requested visits. I highly recommend Liz. She is so nice and professional.”

About: I have had Guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and fish for pets over the years. I currently have two small dogs of my own! I have experience with dog walking, overnights for dogs and cats, and am comfortable administering most medications. I love animals of all sizes and have no problem going for long walks, playing, and giving lots of pets. I am reliable and will always keep you up to date on how your pet is doing. I will always do my best to allow for schedule changes and would like to tailor things around your needs. I have a car and also have no problem taking public transportation. Please reach out if you are looking for an animal lover who will treat your animal with care, fun, and lots of love! I currently work full time from 7am-5pm M-F and am available anytime outside of those hours. I will do my best to be flexible around you! I have my own dogs, who are friendly to other animals. We don't have any restrictions, but this is pending the dog's behavior and comfort.

“We have great confidence in Janelle. We know that she will come when she is supposed to, will take great care of Jessie and send us awesome pictures. We are so lucky to have found her through Rover.”

About: I grew up with dogs in my house all the time. Whether they were my family's or we were petsitting for friends, I have taken care of my fair share of dogs of all different breeds and sizes. I am a college student, so my weekends are totally free as well as my afternoons on weekdays. A walk with your dog would be a great way for me to take a break from my busy school schedule. I have lots of dog walking experience with all kinds of dogs. I am a dog lover but do not currently have on of my own. I would love to be able to take your dog out for some exercise!!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 including my hound and lab for the last 9 years. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and use dog walks as exercise. I’m flexible, patient and detail-oriented. I’m attending graduate school in the fall and spring with lots of availability in the summer. During the school year, my schedule varies but most of my evenings are free. I will go over any specific instructions with you prior to walks or pet sitting. I am happy to discuss any concerns or special needs!

“As always, great experience with Beth. She is prompt to respond and takes the time to play with Rupert (not always easy! Lol!) which we greatly appreciate. Leaving your pets with someone can be so nerve-wracking. I'm so happy to have found Beth as she truly sets my mind at ease!!”

About: Since being owned by 7 cats ,I specialize in outstanding cat care,always aware of changing health, feeding habits or mood.That being said, dogs are my other passion and I was loved by a scotty and 2 collies of my own along with many different breeds I have cared for outside of my home .My special skill is paying close attention which has improved the life of senior dogs by finding innovative feeding styles and wound /illness attentiveness. I am a jewelry and bead designer and have a flexible schedule as most of my shows are online.This opens my days to loving pet care, last minute feeding needs or walks with dogs. I have cared for many pets in their people's home over the years and have handled every situation with care and integrity.It makes me happy to interact with owners during their time away when I know they miss their darlings.Photos and comments always assure owners and show how happy their pets are in my care.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life and currently have two dogs of my own that we got as puppies and trained ourselves. Additionally, I'm an animal science major at the University of Illinois, which has further fueled my passion for animals, especially dogs. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is my lifelong experience with dogs combined with my academic background. Your furry friends will not only get lots of love, belly rubs, and long walks but they'll also benefit from my commitment to their well-being and happiness away from their owners! I currently have an open availability with some previous dates blocked off due to prior commitments! You can always reach out even if it seems like I’m unavailable! Caring for pets in my home revolves around creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment. With two friendly dogs of my own to keep your dog company, your furry friend will always have a buddy to play with. While I don't have a fenced-in yard, I make up for it with long, enjoyable walks to ensure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. My home is already pet-proofed with secure areas, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment. I could also accommodate other needs, whether it’s crating your dog or adhering to particular routines. Ensuring animals are fed on schedule and always have access to fresh water is also a top priority. I am always watching and being mindful of what the pets are doing, ensuring their safety and well-being at all times. My goal is to provide a trustworthy and nurturing environment where your pet feels right at home.

About: I grew up with a dog and loved him very much. He passed away, and the family has not yet gotten another, but I miss caring for a dog. I love all dogs and cats of any size and any animal, for that matter. I am incredibly attentive to animals and always love giving them care, even when they are not mine. I am almost always home and able to pet sit through the day and overnight. I am currently in college, but taking classes online, so I am constantly available to tend to your pet's needs. I am a very active person who can take your pet on walks or runs more than once each day if need be. If your pet enjoys resting, I will also do it with them as I complete work on my computer and will pay close attention to them or snuggle with them if it's what they like. I will care for each pet depending on their specific needs, whether they need to have walks, use the bathroom often, or receive personal care. My home is very safe for pets, as it was already set up for a dog in the past with carpeted stairs and a yard to play in. The yard has a fence around part of it, but it is still open, so if I take your pet outside to play, I will use a leash and keep them in the yard safely separated from any danger. The only other person living in the home will be my mother, who is also an animal lover, but is generally at work during weekdays.

About: 16 years experience caring for my own dogs. Entrusted by family and friends to reliably care for, play with and love on their dogs, too! Most weekdays and some weekends I am available to provide for your pets needs, such as potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, feeding. Daylight hours are preferred I prefer to care for pets in their own home, or taking for walks, following the directions of the owners, I’d like to know makes their pet special and happy!

“Nicole did an outstanding job taking care of my cat while I was away! She was consistent in making sure his food, litter, and other necessities were well taken care of. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which assured me that everything was going smoothly. My cat was happy and relaxed when I returned, and I could tell he had been in great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely trust her with my cat again in the future!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets (dogs and cats) since I was in middle school. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and helped puppy-sit dogs through the Canine Companions collegiate chapter at my university! I am also comfortable with any size pet, I’ve cared for puppies and kittens all the way up to Great Danes! I’m currently a student, but I have a lot of availability. My class load is light and I’m not on campus much so I have very flexible availability! I am good at following whatever instructions left for me relating to any of the pets’ needs. I have taken care of animals before for other as well as my own pets so I’ll make sure they’re treated well and get lots of love and care!
