House Sitting Lark

“We give Melissa our HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! She was a pet sitter for us for 6 days/5 nights! We just moved to the area and needed to find a responsible person to take care of our dog while we were out of town. Melissa was super responsive, highly professional and extremely trustworthy. Our pet has a significant medical condition and Melissa kept us updated and was extremely comfortable handling any special needs. She left our home in better condition that we left it. She went above and beyond to take care of our dog and we so appreciated it! We have used many pet sitters in the past, but Melissa was a step above all others!”

“Nicole was fantastic with our dog Evie! She took great care of her and made her feel comfortable even during the storms! We loved getting photos and videos of our pup! We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely be reaching out for future needs! 😊”

“Travis was so great with my crazy boxer boys! They loved having him and did not show any signs of being stressed out with him! Very professional.”

“Jacob was absolutely fantastic with my two dogs! He’s super friendly, extremely communicative, and treated my pups like they were his own family. They loved spending time with him, and I had total peace of mind the entire time. I couldn’t recommend him more!”

“Bridget took amazing care of our dogs while we were on a weeklong trip. One of our dogs (River) got sick while we were away and Bridget took such amazing care of her until we could get home. She treated River like she was her own dog, which we are so incredibly grateful for. She even stayed extra late so River wouldn’t be alone. We were so grateful she was there for both dogs, but especially River! We will most certainly request Bridget again when we travel.”

About: I have been an emergency and critical care veterinary technician for 10 years so I’m very comfortable with senior pets or pets with medical needs. I work relief at two pet hospitals and have 3 children so no 2 days looks alike for me and that’s how I like it. I love to be outdoors and love finding new places to walk and explore with my little crew. I live in the country so my backyard includes trials, fields, and woods to play in. I also love to travel so I know how stressful it is to leave your pup with someone else so I’ll be sure to send lots of pictures and as many updates as you’d like! I work relief/per diem at multiple emergency pet hospitals and I have 3 kids so not one single day looks like the next. My schedule is set about 2 months in advance so just ask about days you need! I have a very low key beagle and 3 small children that are good with dogs. We live in the county so there is lots of room and trails to explore.

“Eleanor went above and beyond! She house sat for us and watched our 2 dogs and 1 cat. She sent plenty of pictures of all the snuggles and play times they were getting. She included confirmation that their daily routines were done and left our house just as clean if not cleaner than when we left. Her communication was amazing and eased our worries about leaving our fur babies. We highly recommend her!”

“Alex is amazing!!!! I have a 17 year old dog, who is mostly blind, and gets very nervous when left alone. It was my wedding weekend, and Alex agreed to spend time with my dog for the rehearsal night and also for the whole day and into the evening on my wedding day. Prior to her stay, we did a meet and greet and Alex was so kind, patient, and caring. I felt a huge weight lift, knowing I had found such a good sitter! I felt much more relaxed about leaving my dog with her, and that really helped me to stay present during my wedding day.”

About: I graduated with a degree in animal science from the University of Wisconsin- River Falls in 2023. I've been dog/ cat sitting for years, I grew up with 2 family labs and I have trained 3 service dogs through a non-profit company down in Madison. Whether I'm hanging out with a high-energy pup or a senior dog who just wants a comfy spot and some company, I always adjust my care to match their needs. I am big on routine, clear communication and creating a calm, positive environment while you're away. Lastly and most importantly, I treat every dog like they're my own: with patience, respect, and plenty of love. I’m available for pet care during mornings and afternoons, with consistent availability throughout the week. While I don’t accommodate last-minute bookings, I’m happy to schedule in advance to ensure your pet gets the attention they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check-in, or afternoon playtime, I’ll work with you to create a routine that keeps your pet happy and comfortable. I specialize in caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure while you are gone. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I’m respectful of your space, keep things clean, and always provide regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet (and your home) are in good hands. My goal is to make your time away as smooth as possible—for both you and your furry family member

“Jenna, did a fantastic job. Took a huge weight off my mind. The dogs loved her and she even brought them to the hospital to visit. And when I got home, the place was spotless!!!! Thanks Jenna”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years, including my own dogs and pets for other families. I’ve done everything from quick drop-in visits and walks to staying with pets for several days while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with different routines and can also give oral medication when needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention and that their normal routine stays as consistent as possible. My work schedule varies from week to week, so my availability depends on the dates requested. I only accept bookings that work well with my schedule and your pet’s needs. Before booking, I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine, how long they are comfortable being left alone, and any specific care they need so we can make sure I’m a good fit. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, walks, medication, and anything else your pet may need. I respect your home, keep things clean, and make your pet’s safety a priority. I also send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and being well cared for.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since i was 8. My extended family all has dogs and would often ask me to help out with them. My family currently owns a a golden retriever named Hank and a lab named Mabel. I trained both Mabel and Hank as puppies, and my previous dog Diezel as a therapy dog. I understand the importance of affection and routine in your pets life and am happy to give that to them! You can count on me to make your pet feel comfortable, loved and happy. I am currently attending UWGB and am unavailable on Monday and Wednesday. Throughout the rest of the week, I am more available for drop-ins and house sitting! I am comfortable with kenneling, free range pets, free feeding and scheduled meals. Whatever you feel comfortable with! I’m happy to take your pet on walks or play with them in your own home.

“There is not enough space here to write all the great things about Sasha! She was a great communicator, and kept me updated throughout the whole visit! This was my first time using rover and she far exceeded my expectations. My dog wasn’t always the best at sleeping for Sasha, but Sasha did everything to make the visit comfortable”

About: My family has had dogs on and off since I was a child. I’ve also been dog sitting for friends and family over the past 5 years-in many capacities: day visits, overnight, single and multiple dogs, different age ranges, breeds and dog walking. I don’t have a lot of cat sitting experience but have friends/family who have cats. I work from home 2-3 days a week, so I’m available more flexible on those days. Weekends and weeknights, I’m a bit more flexible to care for pets overnight or provide drop-ins throughout the day. I have no pets in my house, so your pet(s), will get my full attention. I don’t have a fenced in back yard but am able to use lines if needed, I also have space to kennel your pet if needed. My house is a split level, so I have stairs to get to either floor of the house. My parents do have dogs (in a different household), so if you pets don’t get along with other dogs please let me know.

About: I’m the type of person who goes to a party and makes friends with the dog. My friends know I’m around when they see a blanket covering up their sleeping pup. My family has nicknamed me dog girl because I take on the challenge of caring for all of them during family functions. I have experience with dogs who need medication, eye drops, ear drops, or who have health issues. I work from home so I am able to hangout with your pet all day! I have a very flexible work schedule if appointments are needed. I prefer to care for dogs in my home but can watch in your home, let out during the day, and check on your home if away. At my home I leash all pets when letting them out. Dogs are allowed on my furniture, I even have a chair next to my work desk incase they want to lounge around on the job.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life ever since I can remember. All shapes and sizes, all ages. Whatever is needed will be provided and then some. I hope I can be of service and can’t wait to help! My schedule is very flexible. I’m able to be wherever is needed. Whatever is best for your prt and your family is what will be given. Individualized and personalized care is my top priority. I’m very eager to learn how I can be of service to your pet and families needs.

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for many years, and I truly see them as part of the family. I’m taking a dog groomer certification course, which has given me hands-on experience handling dogs of many different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I am very comfortable reading a dog’s body language, recognizing when they’re nervous or uncomfortable, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’ve also helped in a dog daycare environment, where I gained experience caring for multiple dogs with different energy levels and needs. I’ve cared for dogs at all stages of life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and attention. My experience even includes assisting with a dog giving birth and helping care for newborn puppies. I understand how much attention and specialized care dogs can need during different stages of life. I’m comfortable following individual feeding, potty, medication, exercise, grooming, and daily care routines. I’m happy to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away and give them plenty of playtime, enrichment, affection, and cuddles. My goal is to provide the same loving, attentive care I’d want for my own dog—and to make sure you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I currently work a morning job 3 days a week until about noon, and I work afternoons mostly from home. i also live with multiple people who also can provide excellent care if I am away. My mother is also a Rover pet sitter :). We have our home sectioned off into 3 spots. a transition area for when your pet arrives. That leads into the living room where your pet is welcome on all furniture, plenty of space to play, and access to our fenced back yard. If your dog needs time to adjust to a new space this is a great option for them. We also have 2 bernedoodles, if your pet is comfortable then they are welcome into the the main space of the house with our dogs. They are gentle giants.

About: I currently work full-time in ABA, which has helped me become very patient, attentive, and dependable. I’ve had pets since I was 15 and currently have a cat named Cleo, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. My schedule is also pretty flexible, with some availability during the day. I would treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work full-time in ABA, but my schedule is pretty flexible and I have some availability during the day. I would love to use my free time to care for your pup or cat when needed! I’m happy to work pet care into my daily or weekly routine based on your pet’s needs and schedule. I will always uphold the standards that keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I’ll follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions. I want every pet to feel cared for and comfortable while their owner is away.

About: I have dog/cat sat in the past for neighbors when I was young. I have a high attention to detail and tend to your babies with whatever they need, medications, special routines, etc. I work full time as a 3rd shifter.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life family and friends pets and enjoy playing and taking care of them when needed love dogs of all sizes I’m currently working full time but love animals and helping with them where I can.
