A typical day

Thanks to a large back yard and nearby dog park, high energy dogs can look forward to lots of outdoor time. We love playing fetch and tug 'o war and my home has a cat tree and many toys for feline boarders. When the weather isn't so great we have plenty of toys for indoor play.

Attentive Reliable & Caring

Pet care experience

I have had the pleasure of owning cats for most of my life, including hairless breeds. Recently, I was delighted to welcome a 1-year-old silky terrier named Macchiato into my home. I have been entrusted with pet and house sitting responsibilities since my teenage years. My experience also extends to working with birds, rodents, and I have previously owned snakes. I make it a priority to thoroughly understand each pet I care for, as I believe every animal, much like children, possesses a distinct personality, and their care should be customized accordingly. I have added my partner Tony to my petsitting team after starting my job as Fun Zone Manager at Pizza Ranch in Burlington, WI to ensure all boarders and daycare clients have consistent supervision. Tony has been a dog owner a majority of his life and also has experience as a live-in caretaker of the elderly. He has been an amazing asset and is very loved by all the animals we care for.

We continue to use April as our sitter because she goes above and beyond caring for our two dogs each and every time!

April has been watching both my pups for quite some time now. They go to April multiple days a week for a full day. I receive photos, updates with concerns, etc. My pups are well cared for and are definitely wore out by the end of the day! I would definitely recommend her services. She even has meet and greets if other dogs will be present on days my pups are there and makes sure it is a good fit. It is very scary finding someone genuine to take care of your fur babies but April does wonderful and takes great care of them. Thanks!

They treated my cat with respect, kindness, and care. Heavily reccomend them for anyone who needs a shelter.

Well I'm VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED with April our neighbors called to tell us that April was never there and my dog's were left alone and barking for over 3 hrs straight 😢 and she left an underage child alone which was running around pounding on the floors it saddens me that my dog's were not taken care for and I had to pay for someone that was never there so I probably won't be using Rover in the future 😢
