House Sitting in Holy Cross

“Paul did an awesome job taking care of our elderly dog. It was difficult to leave her with a new dog sitter (our usual sitter got a new job) but after meeting Paul and seeing that Rheyah was immediately comfortable with him, we felt confident that he would take good care of her. Paul made sure that Rheyah took her medicine multiple times per day, fed her a special diet and even gave her a partial bath every other night to treat her chronic skin condition. He also took her for 2 walks per day when the weather permitted. Paul’s frequent photos and descriptions of what he and Rheyah were doing helped to calm my anxiety about leaving her with someone new. Not only did Paul take care of Rheyah, but he also fed my fish and managed to keep my not-so-healthy plants alive! We are very grateful that Paul’s profile came up on Rover and that he agreed to take care of Rheyah so that we could attend our granddaughter’s 1st birthday. We highly recommend Paul to anyone who needs a conscientious caring pet sitter!”

“Sonja was great in every way with our 4 month old puppy! She was extremely attentive and very detail oriented. She also communicated very well and sent daily updates and photos. We hope to have her back to pet sit again soon!”

“Did a great job managing our house full of animals while we were away for two weeks. We came home to happy healthy animals, and I could tell they'd been well-cared for!”

“As always, Katelyn works magic with Otis. She recently sat for a night when we had to go away for a wedding, and instead of being his usual skittish self when we aren't around, he relaxed and spent much of the time relaxing and cuddling. Thank you, Katelyn!”

“Emma was AMAZING! 3 Great Danes and she handled their clumsy-ness and lap dog tenancies without a hitch. My stupid dogs ran off to the neighbors house and had an incident with the neighbor dog. She handled the situation perfectly and kept my dogs, the neighbor and their dog, and myself feeling safe about the incident the rest of booking. When I got home and apologized again to my neighbor, they said that Emma did great the whole time and were impressed with the way she handled things. 10/10 would recommend Emma!!”

“Jasmine was great- she provided updates & made sure both our dogs were loved on while we were gone. We look forward to having her back!”

“Alyssa was great with Duke. We scheduled two sessions for her to come meet Duke and spend time with home before she stayed with him. The second session she came over he was excited to see her, and met her with wagging tail! The overnight went well with Duke seeming happy and well taken care of. We have reached to to book Alyssa for future visits.”

“Murphy did amazing, especially with Gomez who is pretty scared of new people. It was so nice to know our doggies were in great hands! The picture updates were the best!”

“Diane was a fantastic dog sitter! My pup can be shy around people and dogs he is not familiar with. Diane had Kona sitting on her lap minutes after she arrived to watch him. She took him out for walks multiple times in the 24 hours she was with him. She sent pictures showing how relaxed Kona was with her. I felt like a family member was watching him! I will certainly be contacting Diane in the future to watch my pup! She is a true dog lover!”

“Ju is amazing with our dogs and has always put us at ease while away knowing our babies are well taken care of, not to mention house sitting.”

About: I love walking and with a dog it's even better! I enjoy being outside and spending time with dogs. I will treat your dog as if it were my own, give him/her special attention, and a walk/home while you are away. Dogs have a special place in my heart and I enjoy spending time with other people's dogs, taking them for walks, and giving your dog love and attention. I have had experience walking dogs and taking care of dogs throughout my life. I have 2 rescue dogs are both beagles. I am an avid outdoor enthusiast and love taking them for hikes in the woods, on trails in state parks, and around the neighborhood. I am available for all the services Rover offers. I can board/watch your dogs at my home. I would love to meet you and your dog! I am a teacher and love coming home to my 2 dogs. We spend a lot of time outside and go for two walks a day. I have a fenced in backyard that is about a 1/2 of an acre. Our fence is 6 feet high. I have two dogs myself, so we have lots of treats and toys as well as extra dog beds. I am also a foster for the Humane Society, Midwest BREW, and Fluffy Dog Wellness & Rescue. I have fostered over 20 dogs in my home of all different breeds and ages. I find it really rewarding!

About: Giving all the snuggles, kisses and attention your lovable pets need. Caring for pets like they are my own. I like teaching the dogs how to do tricks. I have open availability and can work with you! I am available Sundays all day and the rest of the week varies. I am excited to work with you I will make sure to keep a close eye on your pets. Make sure that they are safe 100% and go outside with them when they have to use the restroom.

About: I have 10 years of experience caring for pets, including dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, or simply giving a dog some extra affection, I treat every pup like my own. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, basic training, and caring for senior dogs or puppies I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks throughout the week. I love being outdoors and can easily adjust my schedule to meet your dog’s needs I provide a safe and loving environment for every dog. Walks are always on a leash, and I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort. At home, I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I can also follow any specific instructions you give to keep your dog’s routine consistent.

About: I have had pets since I was 1 years old. I have had everything from guinea pigs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hermit crabs and more! I currently have 2 labradors and 2 bunnies with my husband (bunnies have their own room in the house separated from the dogs). I have been an adoption counselor for the Wisconsin Humane Society for 3.5 years. I love animals and am very comfortable around them. My husband and I are comfortable with all sized dogs and breeds! I work from home and have a home office that attaches to the sliding back door. We have a fully fenced in backyard and my dogs love to run around in the back! I have a completely fenced in back yard. The house is always at a comfortable temperature, someone is almost ALWAYS home. Our dogs are probably only home alone 1-2 hours max a day. All medications are kept in the bathroom at the highest cupboard (dogs are not allowed in the bathroom). We do not keep anything on the counters and all doors are shut when not supervised to ensure safety.

About: About me: I grew up with dogs my entire life in my families household, & had a cat for a short time. I showed dairy cattle for the local 4H in High School & loved cows so much I now have a degree in Agricultural Business. Nowadays, my boyfriend & I have 4 cats & I recently purchased my own horse that I had previously ridden for years. I have worked at a handful of doggy daycares, horse & dairy farms, & even a vet. Dogs: I love all breeds & sizes, & have dealt with pretty much anything you can think up- feeding, administering medications, walking, playing, dog fights, high energy pups, nervous dogs. I’ve trained my own pups basic tricks, & can help with keeping up on this while your fur baby is in my care. Cats: My boyfriend & I have 4 cats of our own- ages 17, 16, & 7 months. The best thing about cats is they all have their own unique personalities, & that goes to show in our household! With our senior cats I have had to give pastes, oral medications, & topical ointments. I am no stranger to feeding wet food, or doing daily litter box cleans! Horses: I have been riding/working with horses for about 7 years, & now work for my horses boarding facility part time. My duties at the barn include feeding grain, giving hay, blanketing, cleaning stalls, filling waters & basic tidying. I have worked with hot heads, to super sweet, & some that may just need a little more help with trust. Cows: I have worked on a handful of dairy farms, & worked closely with cows that became show animals for 4H Dairy showing. If you need someone to drop by to lend a helping hand on your hobby farm feeding, filling water, & basic check ins & love - you've come to the right place. I look forward to speaking with you about your animals needs! I work a full time job M-F 7am-330pm. My schedule stays busy with my two other part time jobs either after work or on weekends. I care for my cats daily & have at minimum three shifts at a horse farm a week. I am always open to speaking with animals owners to see how I can best fit in to help you & your pet! I provide care in your own home. I can stay at the home, or stop in & spend time with your animals as needed! I try to be flexible to meet needs, as every animal is different.

About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 19. We love to go on hikes, cuddle and crochet on the couch, and each snacks. Having a dog at such a young age made me realize how much work a pet is. I love the calming nature of dogs and have patience with anything they throw at me. I work full time during graphic design and marketing so nights, weekends, and mornings work best for me. I love hiking, yoga and crocheting. In the summer I spend most of my time outdoors, so if your dog loves hikes we’d be perfect for each other. I will not bring your dog to my house since my furry friend doesn’t get along with other dogs. I will always make sure they are hooked up inside the house before and after a walk. I will always grab small training treats incase walks or strangers are not your dogs favorite.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies requiring training and socialization to senior dogs needing patience and special attention. My background includes administering medications, handling dietary restrictions, and understanding behavioral cues to ensure each dog feels safe and loved. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, as I prioritize time for walks, play, feeding, and attention to each pet’s specific needs. I structure my day to ensure pets get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and relaxation. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday play session, or evening cuddle, I integrate pet care seamlessly into my schedule, treating each pet as if they were my own. I’m a college student and love decompressing with a furry friend. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. In my home, pets have access to cozy resting spots, plenty of toys, and supervised playtime in a secure space. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly area and follow your specific instructions for feeding, routines, and special needs. I live on 4 acres of farmland and love taking dogs out for playtime. When caring for pets in your home, I ensure their daily routines remain consistent, providing familiar comforts and maintaining their usual feeding, walking, and play schedules. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you’re always in the loop. My goal is to give your pet the care and attention they deserve while giving you peace of mind

About: As I said in my headline, I work from home so it is easy for me to pack my stuff up and come care for your pets while you are away. If they will be staying with me they will get spoiled with attention all day. Our backyard is not fenced in but we have a line off our back door from when we had a dog for when nature calls. I am also freely able to let them out for potty breaks while working. My work schedule is very flexible to take your pets for walks or stop in. I currently watch my friends animals when they are away. One household is 2 dogs and 2 cats and the other is just a cat. One of the dogs I have experience administering medication with and dealing with a anxious dog. I also frequently watch a families Boxer when they have errands to run or want to go out for the evening.
