Pet care experience

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 4 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.

Travis and Jessa are among the best sitters we've found on Rover. We'll send our pups to them every time we can!

Travis and Jessa did an amazing job looking after our one year old retriever. Thank you so much for keeping him so happy and exercised whilst we were away!

This was the first time I needed day care for my baby girl..I was very nervous and hesitant. After searching Rover I found Travis and Jessa and I am so thankful I did. Paisley enjoyed her stay and I was relieved to see that she had fun and was not stressed. So thankful !!

My 2 goldens had a great stay! They were very well taken care of and I received daily updates on them. I’m so happy I found Travis and Jessa to watch my dogs and would recommend them to anyone who wants their pups spoiled while they’re away!

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. 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.

Information Travis & Jessa J. would like to know about your pet

1) Since we have two dogs of our own, your dog must be okay being around other dogs. 2) We cannot accommodate dogs that are free-feeders (have food access at all times). 3) Please let us know if your dog has any special needs ahead of time. This includes any allergies that may be in treats we provide to the dogs. 4) Please let us know of any bad habits your dog may have that we would need to look out for. This may include, but is not limited to: digging holes, chewing on furniture, eating dog toys, counter surfing, trash digging, etc. 5) If there are any habits you don't allow at home that you would prefer not to do at our house, please let us know. This includes jumping on people or being on furniture. 6) We highly recommend you bring food for your dog that it is used to. Switching to an entirely new food can be hard on a dogs stomach. Feel free to bring anything else your dog may appreciate and make their time away from home easier. 7) Please let us know if your dog utilizes a kennel. We have one that can fit a dog up to approximately 60 pounds (golden retriever/lab sized dog).

A typical day

Being at home all day and having a spacious yard, we love to take breaks to play outside. Whether that be fetch or just relaxing outside. We just got a doggy pool that our golden retriever can't get enough of. We have a doggy door, so typically our dogs and the ones we watch love to go outside to lay in the sun. In the evening we like to go on a nice walk to burn off some energy. We live near Bluegill Bay Park and always enjoy a nice walk along Lake Wausau. Our dogs are big fans of the nature trails to take in all the smells and watch the deer. Once the sun sets, we have an endless supply of dog beds for your dog to snooze away the rest of the day.
