Mackenzie did a great job with drop in visits while we were out of town for the night with our senior dog! It was our first time using rover and she kept us updated and made sure everything was locked up and communicated! Will book again! 😄

Amy did a wonderful job for us. She visited Albert, hung out and played with him, policed his food, water and litterbox, and sent photos. We will happily call her again!

Morgan is a wonderful pet owner and caregiver. I have had the pleasure of working with Morgan in dog rescue for 2.5 years. Morgan also has a wonderful home with 3 big, lovable dogs. Morgan is knowledgeable in all things dog related and I would absolutely trust her with either of my dogs. Morgan will definitely be a great pet sitter for anyone out there looking!! :)

About: Together we both have extensive experience with dogs of all ages and types. We have experience raising puppies, including those being raised to be future service dogs. Additionally, we have experience working with special needs dogs that are blind or require daily insulin treatment. We currently have two dogs, a 5 year old black lab and a 2 year old golden retriever. Both are highly socialized and get along well with dogs of all sizes/personalities. Ochai is well-known at the Rib Mountain dog park as being one of the sweetest dogs to people and dogs alike. We both volunteer our time at the Humane Society of Marathon County. Furthering our experiences with dogs of many backgrounds and temperaments. You may see a featured adoptable dog that is currently at the shelter in our photos. This dog is one we personally think may be a great addition to a family, especially one that already has a dog! Sometimes we send our dogs to daycare so we can open up our home to a shelter dog for the day and give them the relaxing day they deserve so much. Of course, on the days we do this, we aren't available to offer daycare/boarding. If you have a HSMC graduate pup from May 2023 onward we would love to see our old friends again! Please let us know and we will offer a free day of boarding or daycare as a token of appreciation for adopting a HSMC pup! When we confirm a booking you should know that at least one of us will likely be with your dog at all times, day or night. We both work from home quite often and before confirming a reservation we will check/adjust our schedules to make sure someone is going to be home during the day. It is important to your pets experience and safety that someone is watching them at all times. NEW! Tractive GPS Tracking The safety and wellbeing of your dog is always important to us and we know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet behind. That is why we have added a GPS tracker to utilize. Not only will your furry loved one's location always be known at any given second, but we can also track their health to make sure they are doing well during their stay. -We currently only have one device, so it is not a guarantee your dog will be utilizing it during their stay. If you would like to guarantee it for your pup during their stay, we can accommodate these types of requests at the time of booking for $5/night or $25/stay. -We can share access to the tracker so you can know your pups location at any time and can check in on their health. It will show various information like their sleep activity and exercise information. This is only available if you reserve the tracker ahead of their stay. ---NEW! We are now privately insured outside of Rover. This allows additional and even more comprehensive coverage for your pup while they stay with us. Through PSA we are able to offer up to $2,500 in deductible free veterinary care if your pup gets hurt/ill.--- Our house features a spacious half acre yard that is fully fenced in. We also use a doggy door to allow the dogs to freely go in and out as they please. We recently bought a doggy pool to help the pups cool off in the hot sun! You will get plenty of pictures and updates of your pup under our care. Please let us know the frequency of pictures/updates you would like and we will be happy to show you how your pup is doing. If the weather is nice, I will try to get outside and take some pictures with an actual camera for you to enjoy. Our goal is to provide quality care and take care of your pup just as much as we do our own. We love helping people and having them know their pup is being well cared for when you can't be with them.

Kirsten goes above and beyond when caring for our pets. She plays with them. She sometimes treats them to catnip and toys too. During Kirsten's most recent visit, we received a Chewy delivery. Kirsten brought all four boxes from outside into the garage. We know that we can rely on Kirsten and our pets love her.

About: I've cared for many pets over the years. Care has included administering medication, walking, bathing, nail trims, vet drop offs, keeping them company, and more. I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Currently my work schedule ends shortly after noon, leaving me the afternoon to check on pets or provide overnight care. At this time, I also have weekends off so am available for weekend care as well. Care for your pet in home is decided by you! If there are off limits areas or things you need done while away, I'm happy to accommodate and respect your privacy and requests. I was a personal assistant for 5 years, so discretion is invaluable.

Kris was great in taking care of our senior dog. As all dog lovers know senior dogs have their own challenges and Kris was excellent in caring for our dog. Her patience, compassion and kindness makes her the best care giver. I tease Kris as being Godmother for our dog. She made sure our dog got her daily exercise by walking the dog on a regular basis. Our dog has never been stressed after visits with Kris. I have left our dog long term and short term with Kris and it’s worked out to be great with her.

About: My family and I have had cats and dogs, fish, frogs, and a rabbit in the past 21 years. I also have furry nephews that I periodically sit for, walk and check in on. My ideal job is hanging out with animals! I can take care of your fur babies from 9am to 5pm during the week. I can do some weekend work with a few days notice. I am available about 15-20 hours a week but can be negotiable for vacations, etc. I can follow the routine you have laid out for me in your home. I can give meds, play with, walk in your neighborhood for familiarity, take your pet to the groomer you are already using, and give lots of love.
