“I have 2 small dogs. I was gone for a long weekend and had her come in 3-4 times a day to let the dogs out, feed them and play with them. Bri was great with the dogs. They liked her from the 1st time she came for a meet and greet. I will defiantly use her again”

About: I have grown up with pets throughout my whole life! My family has always chosen to adopt rescues so we have had a variety of animals. I am proficient in puppy care along with administering medication to animals. I am a recent graduate of UW-Madison and would love to start building a client-base in my hometown area! I have a lifetime of experience with pets, specifically dogs and cats. I also live on a 5 acre hobby farm where I have taken care of chickens, ducks, and miniature horses. Growing up, my family always had 3 dogs (big, little, and everything in between), and they became my absolute best friends along with teaching me the importance of caretaking at a young age! My family has always chosen to adopt rescues so I have a diverse understanding of caring for animals of various ages and medical needs. I provide personal care, ensuring each dog feels safe and loved. I completely understand that trusting your best friend to someone requires trust and I am sensitive to both the physical and emotional well-being of your pet. Whether it consists of walks, playing, or snuggling during those relaxing moments, I will ensure your pet has the best level of care! When caring for pets in your home, I guarantee that they will feel safe and comfortable in an environment they know well! I will make sure to follow your pet's routine, providing playtime, walks, feeding, and any other special care they may need (specifically medication schedules). I will also respect your home as if it is my own by keeping it tidy. I will give daily updates and pictures because I know, from experience, how much that can relieve a person while away from their fur-babies:) Currently, my schedule is very open so I would be able to care for your pet as much as you would prefer! If I have a heads up on the requirements for sitting your pet, I would be able to move around my schedule as necessary to fit your expectations. I currently live with three dogs (big, medium, small) and a cat! I am consistent with potty/play breaks outside as well as sticking to a specific feeding/medication time! I believe all pets need and deserve attention so I find it incredibly important to give them that needed love and affection throughout the day.

“We had Bryanna stay at our house to watch our puppy for a few days. She did come by to meet us and Luna ahead of time to get to know Luna and her schedule. Bryanna did a great job with our puppy Luna. She communicated back and forth as well so we were able to know how things were going while we were away.”

“Liz was so great! She took wonderful care of our 3 dogs, and kept us very well updated while we were away. Even though we hired her for our dogs, she gave our cats a lot of attention as well. Communication was perfect, and we received lots of picture updates. She even left our babies some toys and treats when she left! We will definitely trust her to pet sit again.”


10. Ella D.
About: I have expertise in senior dog care, nurturing puppies, and maintaining clean, safe environments. My knowledge of a variety of medications and emergency protocols has enabled me to provide attentive, reliable service for pets of all ages. My weekly schedule will only consist of Rover and graphic design. This leaving me completely free for any bookings due to the fact that graphic arts is time adjustable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With dedicated effort, I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel secure and loved while you’re away or busy. Listening to your instructions and providing updates routinely by your request.


11. Brooke B.

“Brooke was absolutely fantastic! She sat for Frankie in our home so he had someone to sleep with at night! We couldn't be more pleased with her communication with us and pictures nearly every day! A very conscientious young lady! We met her in advance of her 5 day stay with us and even though Frankie was a little reserved that day, he quickly warmed up to Brooke during the first day or two. We would hire her again in a heart beat!”


12. Leyah T.

About: I've cared for many different breeds of dogs since I was 8. I have taken care of many different types of animals including birds, cats, and even reptiles! Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years. I work four days a week at Fox Valley Tech, and once I get off of work, Chase and I go on adventures. I would love to take your pup along! My dog LOVES any animals. Does not matter how big or small he will keep them company. He is an active part of my life and goes with me pretty much everywhere so you can rely on me to keep your best friend in good company.

15. Sheryl B.
“I highly recommend Sheryl! She is amazing with my pup and spends time playing with him, which is so important. Sheryl is extremely caring, responsible, reliable and all around good person. Sheryl is a great dog-mom who clearly loves her dog and will always take great care of your pet's needs! She does a great job and your pets will love her too!”


16. Brittany E.

“Brittany did an amazing job! She was very attentive while going over care instructions for our Buster. She sent text updates along with pics which helped put our mind at ease. We came home to a happy dog with no issues whatsoever. We will be having her back to care for our fur baby!”


17. Jori R.
“Jori has helped me with my little puppy, and she helped me teach it how to sit, roll over, paw high five and also taught it to wait to eat till I say eat. Definitely would recommend!”


18. Jennifer S.
About: I'm a pre-vet student at the University of Minnesota-- home for the summer and would love to take care of your pet! I have had a variety of different pets growing up, and have cared for the pets of friends and neighbors as well. I am comfortable around all breeds and sizes, and am trained on administering both oral and subcutaneous medication. I'm currently working in the evenings as a server, so for the most part I am available during the day! I have random days off during the week so some evenings will work for me as well. I help provide a warm and safe environment for your pet through both fun and love. I am a very patient person, and don't mind if it takes a bit for your pet to warm up!


19. Ashley J.

“Ashley was an excellent dog sitter. She was a great communicator, shared updates regularly, and did a great job taking care of our two crazy dogs. She was good about administering meds to our 13 year old dog. Moreover she also took really great care of our house while we were away, leaving things clean and taken care of. We would recommend her to others and book her to watch our dogs again!”
