“So grateful for Tonya being available at the last moment. I don’t know what we would have done without her! She was great at filling out the Rover “card” and even walked our dog despite the cold weather!! We were very impressed. Thank you 💕”
“Traci is the best! She is a great communicator, takes such good care of my cats while I am away and I appreciate how helpful she is, always looking out for things that may be of concern around the house. 5 stars ⭐️”

“Valerie is so thorough & is teaching my dog great habits! She always leaves him treats and new toys & is thoughtful about what our puppy enjoys. You will not be disappointed hiring her!”

“Kelly is reliable and responds quickly. This is the second time she has cared for our cat while we were out of town. We will definitely use Kelly again if she is available!”

“Jake and Jessica did a great job taking care of our puppies. I think this is the first time we didn't worry about our dog's when we were away because we know they were being taken care of. Thank you Jake and Jessica!”
“Vanessa is a true cat-lover and our cat was comfortable with her from the first time they met. She took excellent care of him while we were away on vacation, followed directions, and I would highly recommend her to other cat parents.”

“Mark did 3 drop-in visits for me over 2 days while I was at work and my mom who normally watches my pets was gone. I have a very new to me 11 year old rescue dog (adopted 4 days before Mark's first scheduled visit), another 11 year old rescue dog, and a pair of 5 year old ginger cats. Everyone seemed to really like him at our meet and greet. I felt very comfortable with him coming into my home. He very quickly had my new guy sitting in his lap! Got everybody out, entertained, fed, and happy. It was such a relief to have someone reliable to take care of my fur kiddos while I was at work. I will definitely ask Mark to help with these guys again!”
“Ashley was great with our 8 year old golden doodle. Responded quickly to our last minute booking request, came right over for a meet and greet and followed through by being fantastic with our dog for several drop in visits over a weekend. She came right on time and sent us plenty of pictures and video so we knew all was well. It was great knowing our fur baby was in good hands and that peace of mind allowed us to relax and enjoy our evenings without worry. We will definitely be booking Ashley again soon!”

About: I have grown up with dogs (yellow lab, nova scotia duck toller), and have had three years of dog sitting experience in homes. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, and love to be active and take dogs out for excersize! I am responsible and don't have any pets of my own right now, so no need to worry about your dog's friendliness with other dogs. I’m a full time school psychologist, my hours are 7:15-3:15 but I’m usually available to stop home during my lunch as well. I am flexible on weekends and school breaks/summer! I live in an apartment in Hudson. I prefer to dog sit at your home, as pets are often more comfortable there in their own space!
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 10 years old. I have had pets my whole life including dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, birds and reptiles. I would care for your pet like it was my own. I love nature and animals. My pets are part of the family and I know it's difficult to trust someone else with a beloved pet. I am available most nights and weekends. If you work odd hours then I can help out and make sure your pet is cared for. I treat every pet like a member of the family. I would make sure they feel comfortable and secure and know it takes time to grow trust.
About: I go the extra mile for the animals and the owners to make sure the pets are getting the best care possible. Respect is very important to me and showing respect to your animals and you is more than everything to me. I have taken care of (walked, home stay, drop-in) a variety of pets and will send updates and messages throughout our visits and time together. I love all animals but dogs have a special place in my heart ❤️. I am a high school student but get out at 11 everyday so I try and take advantage of that opportunity as it allows me to be flexible for your needs. I’m a very clean and organized pet owner! Their bowl of water is always filled and cleaned, I’ll clean up after your pets as needed, and the environment in which the pet is in will be tidy for you to come home to.

About: Hi! I’m Lyric and I’ve grown up taking care of 3 dogs, so I’m very comfortable with all types of personalities and energy levels. I have daily experience with feeding, walking, and managing multiple dogs at once. I’m very reliable, patient, and love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I also make sure to send updates and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands. Whether your dog needs a walk, check-in, or just some extra attention, I’d love to help! I’m available most weekdays in the mornings, midday, and evenings, as well as weekends during the day. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate different schedules, including last-minute bookings when possible. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I always make sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I follow all instructions closely. I’ll also send updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is being taken care of 😊
About: I am a dog groomer for 1 year and love working with pets both at work and outside of work! would love to meet new furry friends I work 8-4 during the week and have weekends off. looking to do some walks after work during the week, and pet sit during the weekend! I follow instructions thoroughly and will accommodate to any specific needs of the furry friends! I understand missing them when away, and want to make the experience better for you and your pets!
About: My love for animals started as a child. I grew up on an organic dairy farm in Menomonie, Wisconsin where I raised and cared for our farm animals. Over the years, our friends have asked us to watch their pets at our house to which we enthusiastically agreed. We've had a variety of animals in our care from dogs to bunnies. We absolutely adore animals and truly love the opportunity to care for them in our home. We are a homeschool family and are home quite a bit most days. There are occasional activities that our kids are involved in and errands that require us to step away but other than that we are home. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for animals to explore. Our neighborhood is full of friendly dogs out for walks. We have a spacious downstairs. We are a homeschool family and are often home during the day to snuggle and care for you sweet fur babe(s). Jon also works from home twice a week! We have a fenced in yard which is a huge plus for the dogs that visit. We can let them out easily for bathroom breaks and provide them plenty of exercise. My kids love to throw the ball for dogs that like to play fetch. We also have a great neighborhood for dog walking.
“Jenny is an exceptional pet sitter who went above and beyond in caring for my cat, Louie. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals was evident from the moment she started. She sent updates with photos of Louie, showing him looking happy and content. Not only did Jenny follow Louie's feeding schedule meticulously, but she also spent quality time playing with him and giving him the attention he needs. She noticed his favorite spots around the house and made sure to give him scratches and pets just where he likes them. What impressed me most was her conscientiousness. She kept the litter box impeccably clean and even noticed when Louie was being a bit shy and knew exactly how to coax him out with his favorite toys. She left detailed notes about his daily activities, eating habits, and general mood. I returned home to find a happy, well-cared-for cat who clearly had been given lots of love and attention. Jenny's professional yet caring approach gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitter. She's truly a gem!”

“Kate was wonderful with my old boy Mr. Man. She took the time to win him over; she really went the extra mile. She brought him some delicious treats and a new toy, and she sent pics and updates to me every day. She is a caring person and has an obvious affinity for kitties. Kate is a lovely woman, and I give her the highest recommendation. Book her to care for your pets; they will be in safe hands.”
