“Brandi took great care of my 2 cats while I was away for a week. As someone who gets very nervous about leaving my babies behind when traveling it was nice to know that they were in good hands ☺️”


“Krystal was friendly and professional. She was patient and understanding with our shy cat. Even though the job was a simple daily drop-in to refill water and scoop the litter box, Krystal was reliable and thorough in her daily reports. I would definitely recommend hiring Krystal!”


“I cannot say enough about Amanda’s exceptional care for my four cats. Over the years, I’ve hired many pet sitters, and she is by far the best I’ve ever had. Her attentiveness and compassion made it so much easier for me to be away, giving me true peace of mind. Not only did she provide outstanding care for my cats, but she also went above and beyond by feeding the stray animals who rely on me for daily meals, as well as keeping my backyard squirrels and birds well-fed. She even collected my mail and kept in regular contact with updates, reassuring words, and adorable photos. Amanda is simply the BEST—reliable, thoughtful, and truly devoted. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”


“Emily is great. I can tell she really cares for animals and my dog (and fish) would agree. She’s punctual and shared plenty of picture updates while we were away. I definitely recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs! 😃”


About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life. I’ve cared for animals ranging from mice to horses. I have worked in vet clinics and have done a lot of research on many animals. They are my passion. I currently have the most experience in dogs. I’m actively an apprentice with a local dog trainer to be a positive reinforcement force free trainer. I am also studying canine behavior. I have experience in doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming. I have administered medications ranging from oral medicine to injections (subq and intermuscular). Like I said before, I love em like my own! I am home all day most days. I do have two dogs of my own so they are always outside playing. Pet care is what I do when I wake up to when I go to bed. I’m available most days for play dates, walks, boarding, grooming, and more! I have a large fenced in yard. I also have so so many dog toys. I have two dogs as well so your baby can make friends! I can offer crates when we leave or at night if you prefer! I have plenty of house for them to be in as well, also plenty of people to love on them! Your baby will never be alone!

“Katelyn was awesome!!! She took excellent care of my cats and chicken!! She was there every morning sent me pictures and let me know how they were all doing!!! A definite five stars in my book and I will definitely book her again!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!”


“Kayla is an animal-lover through and through! She is polite, professional, and was exceptionally kind to my bunny. I felt comfortable with her in my home, and welcomed her daughter (who is also and animal-lover) who befriended my sweet bunny! I got cute pictures, she followed all my crazy instructions, and left my pet and my space exactly how I asked her to. I will definitely go to Kayla next time I am in need of a pet sitter! 🙋🏻♀️”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 13yrs old, both young to old and small to big in size. My love for animals makes me pet owner’s #1 call. I have also volunteered my time at my local Humane Society where I use my photography skills to photograph animals for their website and any extra time was spent in playing in the cat room and getting the dogs outside for some play time. I’m hoping to take this career on full time so my availability is open to give you the opportunity to give your pet the care and attention it needs throughout the day. When your pet is with me they have my full attention whether we’re in your neighborhood or my own. My home is located in the country with trails we’ve made through our property to give pets a clear and safe path to roam while on leashes.

About: There's never been a time in my life where I've lived without at least a couple of critters running around, from cats and dogs to crustaceans and weasels. Though I've never made a profit off of looking after others' pets, I've spent a fair amount of time fostering, mainly cats and dogs, and volunteering at my local animal shelter. As a result, I have a lot of experience caring for senior pets who may have medical needs or temperamental issues and younger pets who may need a bit of extra training or encouragement. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I'm no stranger to caring for them. The best part is that I love doing it! I'm currently enrolled in school 9-5PM Monday through Friday, but I'm free to immediately head anywhere I'm needed and willing to spend the night if necessary. On weekends I'm completely free and would be more than happy to stay overnight! My home is overlooked by three older cats and one who turned a year old in July. The youngest is always looking to find a new companion, but the others keep to themselves. We previously had a doberman, so we have a large backyard with no toxic plants and a stainless steel wire leash that allows exploration of the entire yard. Pets will be supervised at all times, and I'd be more than willing to make any accommodations to make sure you feel safe leaving your furry companion with me.

“Panzer loves Brianna! Having her has been wonderful. Her availability is changing and we will be losing her. We will miss her!!! Anyone who books with her is putting their pets in good hands! 🥰”


About: I used to be on rover with my mom as dog sitters. We had a lot of happy customers many of whom would book with us multiple times. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I am available for dog walking and drop in visits. I may or may not be able to do walks every day of the week depending on what time the dog goes for a walk. When I am taking care of a pet wether it’s someone else’s or my own I do my very best to ensure that animal is get everything they could possibly need to be happy and thriving.

“Needed a couple drop-ins on short notice so I contacted Hailey and she got back to me right away. We set up a meet and great for that evening and she was right on time. All 3 dogs just loved her at first sight! After they got their attention we went over all the details of food, water, etc. She was on time to appointments and sent pics during visit. Hailey has great communication and I will definitely use her again.”


About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had cats and dogs of all types since I was a kid. I have experience with a range of dogs from puppies, to seniors, to dogs with disabilities. I currently have three cats and a dog with my partner. I am comfortable with administering oral medications. I am currently not working and hoping to make a daily routine of pet care. I have full availability and am able to accommodate any needs your pet may have. Trust and safety between pet parents and I is vital to me. I take care in keeping people's pets and homes safe, and I am prepared to treat your pets and home with the utmost care.

About: I've been passionate about caring for animals since I was a little girl. Over the years, I've developed strong bonds with the pets I've looked after. My experience includes working at animal shelters, doggy daycares, and farms, allowing me to interact with a wide range of personalities, ages, and breeds. Currently, I have two rescue kittens (7 months and 3 months old), and I look forward to spending time with your furry friend(s)! I work part time currently at a Dog Daycare and Boarding Facility, but I have a lot of free time and days off to spend time with your pets when you’re at work or out of town:) I live in an apartment so I would not be able to care for pets in my home, but I would be willing to House Sit, and I have a reliable source of transportation.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my hands-on experience and dedication. I've fed cats and dogs, walked them, and stayed overnight for extended periods. I've also trained puppies and my own dog, ensuring a well-rounded approach to pet care. Pet owners have relied on me for consistent care, knowing I’m always there when needed. My commitment to providing personalized and compassionate attention makes me a trustworthy choice for any pet sitting job. I am currently a technical college student who only goes to school twice a week while the rest is online, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available to care for your dog Thursday-Sunday most weeks and will give them all the time they need! I like to know the pets routine/schedule and understand any behavior they may have. I would love to know the intentions of me watching your beloved doggy and what you need from me personally to make you and your dog as comfortable as possible.

About: I have had animals and cared for animals since I was young. On top of my personal animals, I have also dog and cat sat for family friends. I have also dealt with a diabetic cat and it’s shots. I am mostly just available on Fridays after 10:30 and on the weekends. I do sometimes have the availability for an afternoon (after 4) walk or drop in. I can care for your animals as you see fit in your home and follow your standards for your animals and home. If wanting some play time with another dog, I can also bring my own dog, who loves other dogs, for some play time.

About: I am a professional, certified dog trainer and I want to bring my skills and passion for pet care to your aid. I have 15 years professional experience working with dogs and 12 years of training under my belt (mostly positive training, no force or intimidation!) I can drop in for potty breaks, or feed and water your pup. I can administer medications and change bandages as I have been trained to do. On walks we can head to the Janesville dog park for the trails or stroll around town depending on your location. If your dog is safe off leash we can even throw in a game of fetch for added running benefits! I can care for more than just dogs, too! I have experience with numerous exotic pets (snakes, lizards, rats, rabbits, and much more!) as well as horses and other farm critters! Chickens, pigs, and others. If you need pet care for your non-dog or cat animals contact me! I will pet sit small caged animals in my home. I will provide photos during my time with your pooch as well, so you can see how their doing and know they are safe and happy! Please NO retractable leashes! If you do not have a standard 4 or 6 foot leash I will use my own to walk your pup! Let me care for your dog when you can't - feed and water, medications, or just cuddles. I'm here to help you, help your pet. Pet Sitting is my only and primary income source and I book up fast! Schedule me sooner rather than later to get the spots you need. Dogs are let out to potty in the location you choose. I will clean up any mess they may have left, especially puppies. I can also give medications or clean cages of small animals. For farm animals, I will feed, water, and can give medicine.

While being with Brenley, Remi has learned almost all basic commands (sit, stay, come, lay down) and more! Brenley is flexible and very reliable. I trust Brenley 100% and I hope when I bring home my next puppy, she can be there to help me in the training process and also be someone I can call if I ever need a dog sitter! I recommend Brenley to any dog owner :)”
