“Randy has been wonderful. Charly needed a true dog person who could read his body language and facial expressions. Randy was spot on and worked great with him from the start. He worked off of Charly's energy and let Charly come to him when he was ready. We had 3 meet and greets with a dog that has been historically difficult to find sitters for and now for the first time we have someone we feel really safe with.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. I have helped neighbors, friends, and family with their pets for short periods and long periods of time. I have my own 4 year old husky/akita mix who loves to play with other dogs and be in company with senior dogs who would prefer a long nap over play. I know how important it is to be able to trust your animals in the hands of somebody else and I’m hoping to be just that. I am currently working part time and will have open availability for weekends and weekdays. I will be taking a few classes once fall semester begins which will take a few hours out of my weekdays. I have a 2.5 acre unfenced yard, but offer two different types of monitored tethering or the option to take your dog to the bathroom on a leash. I have two dogs in my home one being my parents 13 year old lab and my own 4 year old husky. My dogs eat two times a day once in the morning and at night and take 3-5 bathroom breaks throughout the day as needed. Neither of my dogs are food aggressive or aggressive towards other dogs.
“Sara was amazing. She was on schedule which was important for my Shadow’s medication. She also left me notes and pictures on how my cats were doing and gave them some love that they so appreciated. I really appreciated her taking the time to take care of my fur babies.”

About: I have worked at a doggie daycare. I also grew up with dogs and cats my entire life. My parents have two dogs and two cats, and I have a cat. I am a college student with lots of breaks in my schedule to check in on pets or take them for walks. I also have a part-time job in the afternoon, but it is only 1 day a week and every other weekend. I would listen to the client's rules on how to take care of their pet(s). Depending on what the client wants I would do my best to accommodate their needs.
About: Hello! I’m Laura, and I’m so excited to welcome your four-legged family member into my heart and home. Having grown up with dogs and raised three of my own beloved pups through to their golden years, I know firsthand that dogs aren't just pets—they are cherished family members. Now that my home is a bit quieter, I have a wealth of love, patience, and attention to share with your dog while you are away. Why Choose Me? Lifetime of Experience: I have over 40 years of experience living with and caring for dogs. Senior Dog Care: Having loved three dogs through their entire lives, I am highly comfortable with senior care, gentle pacing, and keeping strict medication and feeding schedules. A Safe, Loving Environment: Your dog will get my full attention, plenty of belly rubs, and a calm, reliable routine that mirrors the comfort they have at home. Whether your pup is an energetic walker or a professional couch cuddler, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend and give you peace of mind knowing they are in safe, loving hands! My daily and weekly schedule is very consistent, which makes it easy to provide a reliable, stress-free routine for your dog. During the week, my schedule allows me to easily plan my day around a dog's needs. I am always home for dedicated morning, late afternoon, and evening care. Because my routine is highly structured, I can guarantee regular potty breaks, timely feedings, and medication administration on a strict schedule. My late afternoons, evenings, and weekends are wide open and entirely dedicated to pet care. Whether that means going for relaxed neighborhood walks, playing in the yard, or just offering quiet companionship on the couch, your dog will be a central part of my day. I treat guest dogs like family, fitting them seamlessly into a warm, attentive, and loving daily routine. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether a dog is staying with me or I am visiting them in their own home. Having raised three dogs of my own, I know how important a secure and predictable environment is for a pet's peace of mind. In My Home: I maintain a calm, dog-friendly, and completely smoke-free environment. Before any stay, I do a thorough safety sweep to ensure all hazards, cords, or human foods are securely out of reach. Dogs in my care are supervised closely, and I follow a strict double-check policy on all doors and gates when entering or exiting. In Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it secure, clean, and exactly as you left it. During visits or house sits, I stick closely to your security routines (locking doors, arming alarms) and ensure your dog is safely secured inside before I leave. My Care Philosophy: Tailored to the Dog: I strictly adhere to your specific rules regarding furniture, feeding schedules, and crate training to keep their routine seamless. On-Leash Safety: I always keep dogs securely on-leash during walks and remain highly alert to our surroundings and other animals. Constant Communication: I love sending daily photo updates so you can see firsthand how happy, relaxed, and safe your pup is!
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have cared for all kinds, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. My family has always been full of pet lovers and our home has always welcomed animals of all shapes and sizes. Growing up,I learned how to care for pets kindly, patiently, and responsibly. I currently have a cat of my own, and she truly is my pride and joy. I also regularly care for the pets of friends, coworkers, and family members when they’re out of town or need extra help. I’m a huge animal lover and have a very soft spot for pets. I truly care deeply about their well-being. I’m especially attentive to making sure animals feel safe, comfortable and loved. I would love to provide that same level of care and peace of mind for you and your pets! I work full-time, but have the option to work from home whenever needed, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m especially available after 4 PM, but I’m happy to make other times work as well. I can bring my work computer with me if needed and take breaks as I please, so I’m able to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Your pet safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow care instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised, secure, and stress-free. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any special needs they may have. My home is calm, clean, and pet friendly. I make sure doors and windows are secured, remove any potential hazards, and provide plenty of space for pets to relax and feel at home. I’m very attentive during walks and outings and always use leashes, unless otherwise instructed. I treat every pet as if they were my own and worked hard to build trust so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident in my care.
“We are so grateful to have Araya around to watch our boy for us! She takes the best pictures of him which is always so nice when we’re away. We’ve booked with her multiple times now and are always happy!”

About: I have taken care of my own dog as well as taken family friends dogs on walks and runs.

Most days I can take dogs on a walk or run in the morning to later afternoon! I currently live in an apartment where pets are not allowed, so for now I will stick to taking dogs on walks and runs whether that’s around a safe neighborhood or at a park.

Zaliana did a fantastic job taking care of our fur babies. We have a giant great Dane who can be a lot to handle but she did it with no problem. Our cat enjoyed his snuggle time. She was right on time and very communicative. I will definitely be hiring her again.

Annie did they drop in feeding and walk both dinner and next day breakfast for my two border collies. She also agreed to come for a meet and greet prior. My pets loved her and she did a phenomenal job. I’ve already recommended her to a friend and would absolutely use her again. I would happy to be a reference if need be.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Onalaska with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
