“We could not have been more pleased with Rhonda watching our 2 girls. She arrived on time, sent us pictures of how everything was going, and engaged with our girls. I would highly recommend Rhonda to watch your pets.”


About: I come from a dog family, where we are on our 3rd dog. I love going to dog parks to let dogs run around, taking dogs for extended walks when needed, and even running alongside when training. I understand the amount of care and devotion that a pet needs, and I strive to strengthen that sense of attention with clients whether doing check-ins, boarding, or regular pet-care. I would like to begin dog-sitting in a professional manner. I currently dog sit for family and family friends in the mornings and early afternoons. I am very flexible and can accommodate last-minute requests, making scheduling with me very simple. I would like to incorporate dog sitting more into my schedule to keep myself active and to explore my community more since I recently relocated to Weston. When caring for pets, I love to hold myself and the pet to a schedule to reinforce a sense of understanding and consistency with myself and the pet-owner. I tend to have more alert care when in a clients home/pet since it is not my own, but care for everything like it would be my own.

About: I treat every pup like they’re the main character. Walks aren’t just walks—they’re mini-adventures. I am young, so I got plenty of energy for your pet! I’m currently a full-time student but I do have time in the afternoon after classes which are on weekdays. If you need someone to play or walk your dog, I will be available When pets stay with me, I make sure they feel right at home. They get a cozy, safe environment, plenty of playtime, walks tailored to their energy, and lots of affection. I keep their feeding, potty, and sleep routines consistent so they stay comfortable and stress-free.


“This was Ashley’s first time taking care of Annie and all was well. Annie can be fearful and timid but Ashley made sure Annie had everything she needed while I was out of town for a wedding.”


“As first time Rover users, it was unnerving to just “trust the app,” but we are so glad we did. Hailey was wonderful- checking in with us and sending photos- and we will definitely book her again! Thanks Hailey :)”


About: I had a huskey when I was younger that I took care of everyday. I now have a 1 year old Aussie doodle. I am trained in emergency situations. My current job allows me plenty of time off to play and love your animals. I’m available almost everyday in someway. I have plenty of time and availability to walk and feed and play with your pet. I have an underground fence for my own dog. He is super friendly and loves to play. I live close to the dog park for plenty of fun and exercise. I have multiple crates to use as needed.

“Tsewang was so great! We were from out of town and needed a sitter while out for a family party. She was very responsive, on time and dogs immediately loved her! Will be booking her again when we’re back in Wausau 😊”


“Mellisa is an over-achieving dog sitter, who wouldn’t want that! She engaged with our two 5 month pups the whole time and tuckered them out. She sent a handful of photos and a summary of their time together which gave us joy and peace of mind. Highly recommend!”


“1st time having someone other then family watch our doggies. Josh made everything easy and was perfect with our dogs. They loved him. Josh sent us pictures while we were away and it just made us at ease. He communicated fast. Will honestly ask him again in the future.”


“Sarah helped us when we were in a last minute bind and boy did she make sure our small zoo was well taken care of. She was very responsive and sent so many pictures and updates on our babies while we were away! We will definitely be using her in the future!”


About: I’ve had pets before I could even walk. Lots of experience with all types of dogs and cats of all ages. Your pets will be treated the same as my own with love and care. I currently work from home and do not work weekends. I have availability during the week during my lunches and after work and also anytime during the weekends I currently live in an apartment building that provides me and pooch with a long walking trail. My pets are treated as family in my home and yours will be treated the exact same way!

She’s totally focused on our babies needs, playing, exercising and most importantly loving them! We don’t expect newbie’s to be able to walk them both but she volunteered and accomplished it with no problem! Great example of excellent experience we highly recommend!!! Love you Amy! Thank you!”


About: Throughout my life, I have been surrounded by a variety of pets, and my love for animals has only deepened with each experience. My deep love for pets, combined with my caregiving experience, allows me to approach each animal with the attention and care they need. I am dedicated to ensuring that their health and happiness are prioritized, treating them with the same love and respect as I would my own beloved dog, Buster. I look forward to the opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of pets and their owners! I’m currently getting my Master degree all of my classes are online which allows for my schedule to be flexible. I also caretaker for a girl with Down syndrome which has profoundly shaped my understanding of compassion, patience, and responsibility. This experience has taught me to approach every living being with empathy and respect, ensuring that their needs are always prioritized this is a vital skill in all levels of care taking whether it’s a person or a beloved pet. My own dog also feels like a person sometimes I’d do anything for him! In terms of safety and my home environment, I have an open yard where pets can play and explore freely in a secure setting. My home features two bedrooms, one of which can be designated as a quiet space for pets needing rest or can accommodate their crates if necessary. I also have a medium portable kennel that can be utilized for added comfort and security. My dog is friendly and well-socialized, but I believe in the importance of a proper introduction, so I would like to arrange a meet-and-greet before allowing any animal to stay over. Additionally, I'm more than happy to care for pets in their own homes, ensuring that they receive familiar and loving attention. Your pet's welfare is my top priority, and I am committed to providing a safe and loving environment tailored to their needs.
