“Very patient with our quirky little guy!”
About: Hi there! My name is Cecilia, and caring for animals—especially dogs—is one of the greatest joys in my life. I have two beloved dogs back in my hometown: a sweet 15-and-a-half-year-old poodle–bichon mix and a 6-year-old goldendoodle with disabilities. They mean the world to me, and being away from them has only deepened my passion for caring for other people’s furry family members. Last summer, I had the privilege of working at a luxury dog boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and unique needs—including those requiring extra patience and special attention. I was trained to read canine body language and behavior, and I learned how to adapt my approach to help each dog—whether a bouncy puppy or a wise senior—feel safe, calm, and emotionally and physically fulfilled. Animals hold a truly special place in my heart. I’m the type of person who pulls over to help a turtle cross the road, stops to meet a cute dog on the sidewalk, or sits with a stray cat to make sure it’s fed. Every animal encounter matters to me. I believe animals are so much more than companions—they’re a vital part of our lives. Their unique personalities and deep bonds bring joy, purpose, and connection, and I feel genuinely honored every time I get to spend time with them. Whether your pup needs a gentle, attentive sitter, an energetic walking buddy, or just someone to love on them like their own family would—I’m here, and I can’t wait to meet them! My schedule is quite variable yet flexible, as I am currently working part-time and attending school to become an EMT. I am often available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays and during the evenings on weekdays, except Mondays and Wednesdays. Depending on my schedule week to week, I may also be able to do check-ins and dog walking during the day. I’m more than happy to tailor my care to meet your dog’s individual needs—whatever that may look like. Whether your pup requires leashed outings only or enjoys the freedom of a fenced-in yard, I’ll follow your preferences closely to ensure their comfort and safety. I want your dog to feel like they’re with family while in my care, and I’m fully committed to respecting both their routines and your home. You can also count on regular updates and plenty of photos, so you feel connected and reassured every step of the way.
“Great to work with! Remmy loved her!”
About: I have taken care of a wide variety of pets from hamsters to dogs to hermit crabs. I love all animals but my apartment doesn’t allow us to have any. I am a track athlete and love to be active so I can do walks or runs too with them! I work remotely and have lots of flexibility throughout the week! While other people are at work I have the availability to take the proper care of your pets throughout the entire day. In others homes I am respectful of people’s privacy, I am there for the pet and for your peace of mind. You are trusting me to take care of your best friend and that is something I don’t take lightly.
About: I provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and those with special diets or medications. I'm also great with shy or anxious pets and enjoy building trust with them. Caring after pets fits perfectly with my usual schedule. I'm free on weeknights and completely available from Friday through the weekend, making weekend getaways easy to plan! When I care for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I give them plenty of attention, playtime, and love, just like you would. I also keep everything clean and make sure they’re well-fed, exercised, and happy while you're away.
About: I have helped raise both of our families dogs (American water spaniels) from puppy to adult age, mainly taking them on walks and teaching them tons of fun tricks. I have also house sat for various family friends to watch their dogs as they are away on vacation (one house with two golden retrievers and another house with a bosten terroir) I am a student at UW- La Crosse, so I would be able to walk your dogs either between classes or after classes as a fun study break! I love taking pets on walks/runs to get their energy out. If I am house sitting I like to stay in the areas where they like to be so that feel as comfortable as possible with their owners away while also making sure they have ample amounts of water through the day!
“Great communication, took lots of pics on the walk, and great with my pup! Would hire again.”
“Sara is excellent! Great with communication. Flexible. Just in general super easy to work with. She was the first Rover person I tried and I have not had to look any farther :)”
About: Until college, I had never lived in a home without a dog. And from a young age, I was taught everything I need to know about caring for them. Between my parents, we currently have five dogs, a cat, and four guinea pigs. My siblings and I have been working hard for years to care for our fur-babies, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I work every weekday from 7am to 5pm, so I can’t work on weekdays, but I am completely free on weekends to care for your pup! During weekdays, my work schedule limits my communication, which is why I offer same day booking and cancellation for the weekends! I can’t imagine a better way to spend my Saturday and Sunday! Back home, I care for all five dogs differently, based on their breed and personality. Our oldest mutt needs constant brushing, our golden retriever needs weekly shaving, our terrier needs to be leashed when outside, our labrador needs her thunder shirt for storms, and our chihuahua needs training to be friendlier to guests. I am prepared for all kinds of pups!

About: Hello, I’m Ashlyn! If you were to ask about me to anyone who knows me, the first thing they would tell you is that I am animal OBSESSED! I have been surrounded by animals + cats alike my entire life. I currently own two big dogs (Pitbull +Aussie) + one small dog (Shih Tzu) and a cat! I strive to ensure your pet has the best experience possible while you are away. Coming from a pet parent myself I know the fear of leaving your bestfriend in someone else’s care can be a lot. That’s why I believe it is important to keep you in the loop for a stress-free time away, while also giving your animal plenty of enrichment and love to distract their worried mind while you are gone. I am experienced with a wide range of different kinds of dogs. From reactive, friendly, and anxious I have seen it all. I am more then willing to work through quirks your animal has in order to make their experience the best it can be! Some training skills I am well-versed in is leash training, socialization, basic manners, puppy care, senior care, and separation anxiety issues. I am so excited to meet your animal and give it the best experience possible! I currently work 9am-4pm Mon, Wed, Thur, Friday. Tuesdays are usually 4am-12pm or 2pm-9pm. Sundays are usually 2pm- 9pm. Let me know your preferred schedule and I am sure we can make it work! I am absolutely able to leave work during my break to let your animal outside and let out some energy if needed! After work I am able to give your pet some exercise whether that is a walk or playing with some toys after work. For house-sitting/ drop ins- I am a firm believer that following a similar routine to what the owner (you) follows will give your pet the least stressful experience possible. I will stick to your potty schedule for your animal as well as feeding. As for exercise, I am up to whatever your dog or cat prefers! I can go for walks, play fetch, provide enrichment with feeding time or play with toys. I am always willing to go to nearby park with your pup if preferred! Whatever your pet loves and makes them feel the safest! For dog-walking, I am willing to walk however long your animal needs! Does your pet have a favorite route? Let me know and I will follow it! Any nearby trails or parks? I am always down to visit them with your pup if wanted! I have personal experience with leash-pulling and minor reactivity so as long as I am made aware of these things and have met your dog, I am more then willing to work through these things on our walk!
“Araya was GREAT. Bailey loved her walks with her. Always timely and always cute pics and a note after every walk. When it was super cold out, Araya suggested some other options, and when Bailey seemed to be super distracted by other dogs, she suggested and started using treats to train her which were effective.”
