“Sarah and her pack did awesome!!! Can't thank her enough for taking in Winnie on such short notice. When I picked up Winnie I was taken back at how much Winnie had bonded with Sarah in such a short period of time. Sarah was aware of Winnie's IBD issues and updated me on how she did. I really appreciated her for that!!!! This family definitely loves dogs!!!”


About: I am a retired dog dad who is in need of more happy dog activity on our ranch! I love all dogs and look forward to welcoming your furry family member into our home and care. I have a 3yr old German Short Haired Pointer (Ava) that has yet to meet a dog she doesn't get along with or that can keep up with her:) Your dog will be well cared for and will definitely get their workout, if that's what their up for. I understand all dogs have their own special needs and I am more than willing to try to accommodate! I am retired and spend 99% of my time at home on the ranch. When I am caring for dogs, my time away from home, if absolutely necessary would be limited to less than an hour. My homestead is a private wildlife sanctuary in Stoughton that has trails throughout the property for daily hikes on or off leash depending on your dogs trustworthiness:)

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 my own time. 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!

“Brandi was WONDERFUL. She was so welcoming and accommodating despite us intruding on a holiday weekend, and so welcoming of our Pup. Throughout our days of doggy daycare, we received updates and pictures and video of our Piper enjoying her stay and new friends, and at the end of each day, we received a very happy (and very ready-to-go-home-and-nap) dog. We used her back-to-back for two days, and Piper recognized she was going got another visit on Day 2 when we turned down Brandi's road, and immediately started crying excitedly in anticipation, all but pulling me out of the car when we opened the door! It's a shame we're not closer to Janesville for regular use of booking, but if we're ever needing to go through the area en route to our destinations, Brandi will be our first choice for daycare or boarding.”


About: Hi I’m Alyssa and I love animals! I grew up with 2 dogs and have been around cats on several occasions. I will make sure your pets get plenty of attention, care, and love they need while you are away. My friends and family have relied on me to feed, bathe, and walk their pets for over 12 years. I have experience with dogs and cats of different ages and breeds. I also have experience giving dogs oral medications when needed. I work from home full-time so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets needs. I can also take your pet for daily walks and play with him/her throughout the day! I do not have any other pets in my home. I also have a fenced in backyard where I will be supervising and playing with your dog.

“This was our first experience with Rover and leaving our dog with someone other than family. We wanted to find just the right fit and believe Jacqueline is just that. She is great at communication and sends many pictures to reassure us that our precious pup is doing well. In addition, she has a very kind and gentle way with the dogs in her care. Upon arrival to her home, our doodle dashes to the front door, tail wagging and is happy to join Mocha in play.”


“Chanse was top tier and made my puppy’s stay the best it could be! She worked with him on his house breaking, playing with her children, helping him fall asleep when anxious, and helping when he had an upset tummy by feeding him chicken and rice. This was my first time boarding my puppy and I have to say, working with Chanse was well worth the 45 minute drive out to Janesville. Thank you so much Chanse, I will definitely be booking again with you on my next trip!”


About: I have always had a dog or multiple dogs in my life. I treat them like family. My friends come to me when they need their dogs watched! I am currently unemployed. I had experience working with animals at Petco and I had a previous job working with puppies from age 8weeks up and LOVED it! I would like to do it again. I have two chihuahuas that are allowed to have free roam of the house and yard. They know their boundaries and do not get leashed in the yard. They are allowed on anything but the counters and table! Sleep with me every night and go on walks. I have one with allergies to grass and he gets bathed regularly.

“So flexible and helpful with my pup! I trust her 100% and know when I pick my dog up she will be tired from playing outside, with toys or with other dogs! I highly recommend Ashlee and will continue to use her for all of our dog sitting needs!”



About: I grew up on a horse farm. I always had dogs for most of my life . Except when I lived in an apartment for a short time where I could not have one. My sister and I use to have fake dog shows as kids. It was so much fun. Now I have 2 loveable doggies of my own that i adopted . They love our fenced in backyard and my daughter and I walk them every day as a team.When Taylor was a toddler we would go out and visit grandma and aunt / sister and give chino her dog lots of love and walks. Also in the last 5 years my late moms dog rosie who was also adopted. Dogs are great.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for 8 years to a hairless miniature pincher named Otis! We have just added three new cats to the family Ollie, Pepper, and Buster. Over the years I’ve helped friends and family by watching their dogs ranging from toy to large breed. I look forward to meeting your pup very soon! I currently work from home a majority of the time giving me the opportunity to be hands on with your dog and available for play and potty breaks. If I do need to go to the office it is located in Rockford and typically those are quick trips in and out! If at my house I have my dog Otis and kitties Ollie, Pepper, and Buster to keep your dog company and plenty of beds to lay around on. I live very close to a nice park with a great walking trail. At your home I will be very respectful of your house as well as your dog’s needs and routine!

“Our Teddy made good friends with Brynn and her family! He had fun snacks and took a nice long nap when he came home so I know he must have had a good play day! I would leave teddy with Brynn again, absolutely!.”


About: I am the second oldest of 8 kids and I have taken care of pets and kids ever since I was little. I love cats and dogs and get along well with many breeds but prefer small dogs because of strength and we have a huge yard but it’s not fenced in. I am currently available 24/7 and just have small increments of time I would be gone for a doctors appointment occasionally so I can take the dog out often. We keep them well fed and hydrated and cuddle for cats and dog and for the dog we also let him out on the long chain or my son takes him from a walk because he is a larger breed.

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: Get ready for your dog to be spoiled! I am the owner of a 7 acre mini Farm home! Your dogs will absolutely love it here! There are lots of trees around and beautiful grass for them to run around in here. I have always been a natural when it comes to pets, but specifically I love dogs, especially really big dogs! I have had dogs my entire life and I now have a small Shepherd Lab mix at home. I make it a priority to make sure that your dogs are well taken care of, well fed, have lots of fun, and get lots of exercise! So it's more than just a regular boarding/walking experience. Also I am a bit of a photographer so plan on getting lots of beautiful pictures of your dog on the farm from me during their visit. I also have two older daughters who are absolute animal lovers and will play and pet your pups consistently while they are here. I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets, I an usually always home unless I am on a call for thr fire station. My land is not fully fenced off so If need be I will have to walk pups on a leash which is not a problem at all.

“Jax is a gem! We were dog-less for a year before recently diving back in to canine companionship with a teething, potty-training-in-progress puppy (ie, no small feat of dog-watching). We solicited recommendations from friends and also got back on Rover to see if we could find anyone near us, and I was immediately impressed by Jax's experience and so happy to see we live in the same neighborhood. After a positive meet-and-greet, it was clear Jax checks all the boxes for the perfect pet-sitter: clear, consistent, professional communication in scheduling; highly experienced; beyond competent with expertise in training and all elements of dog care; so pleasant to work with; fairly priced. Our pup had so much fun spending time with Jax and Jax's pack, and we feel that Jax truly goes above and beyond, supplying photos and updates throughout the day. Will definitely be booking with this exceptional, highly skilled caretaker in the future, and would recommend Jax's services to anyone!”

I recommend Brenley to any dog owner :)”
