House Sitting in Platteville

“Ellie is a godsend! I booked her last minute and she went over and above while caring for my dog and cat. My dog is very anxious and is not used to me being away. Ellie kept me updated on him, sent pictures and even brought him home with her a few nights so he wasn’t alone. I cannot say enough amazing things about her! She is very sweet and very responsive. Leo and Rambo are both in love with her.”

“Ivy did an amazing job caring for our dog and two pet turtles! I felt confident with her taking care of our babies while we were gone. She was caring and kind with our animals, and she was willing to stay at the house while we were away. I will definitely reach out to Ivy again, and I would recommend her as a pet sitter.”

About: I’ve constantly been surrounded by all kinds of animals throughout my life. I especially love cats as I have 2 of my own but will spread the love to even reptiles! My past experience includes years of dog sitting for a family friend, for stays up to 2 weeks long. The dogs were also older so I had to accommodate their needs as well. I walked, fed, pet, and played with them all while maintaining as similar of a schedule that I could for their comfort. I am unemployed until the summer, when I will be working full-time, so I’m constantly home! My cats are fed around the clock three different times so I’m here for that. I just go to classes for a few hours in the middle of the day and come right home. I am a student who lives in a 2 bedroom apartment with my boyfriend so we have a spare room to cater towards your fur baby in our space. For client’s homes, I always follow instructions given to provide the utmost comfort and familiarity for your pet.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats. As an adult, I’ve always had cats and other critters. My animals tend to live very long, loving lives. I have summers off, so I have quite a bit of availability part of the year. I’m an early riser, so can do mornings easily. Most evenings I’m available for care, walks or feedings. We live on a highway, so our animals have always been inside. The cats usually have free rein of the house and our enclosed deck is sometimes a place they like to be.

“Heather was absolutely wonderful with Oliver. She showed up on time and left as scheduled as well. She sent plenty of photos and videos everyday. Oliver loved staying with Heather as well as the company from Frank. Definitely will book her again!”

“Meg did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Lux, at my venue on my wedding day. She was great to work with and very responsive throughout the entire process. She even took some cute photos of him in his wedding attire! From the moment I met her, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry about a thing. Meg went above and beyond, and I truly could not recommend her enough!”

About: My name is Amber, and I am a recent graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville with a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with an emphasis in Veterinary Medicine. I will be attending Veterinary Medical school in the fall, and crowned a Doctor in 2030. My passion for animal care and medicine began at a young age as an intern in a veterinary clinic as a sophmore in high school. From that point forward, my career goals and purpose were solidified. I currently work in a veterinary hospital from 8am-5pm Tuesday-Friday, and a half day on Saturday. If located in town and necessary, I can always do a check-in on my lunch break. Otherwise, before and after my shift would be the typical visitation routine. When caring for your pets, they will be treated as my own. If servicing in your home, I will treat the area with respect and stick to their normal routine. If they are coming to my house, I live in a two story house with a sizeable yard, but it does lack a fence. I am more than happy to accommodate whatever their needs may be!

“Nora was excellent. She took great care of the house along with my dog and cats. Was communicative and sent pictures. I would highly recommend!”

About: I own two high-energy dogs, Josie and Stella, both raised from puppies, so I know how stressful puppy-parenting can be. Growing up on a farm surrounded by animals is where I developed my love for caring for them, and it’s where I learned responsibility. We often head to the farm for extra playtime and walks, so your pup will have plenty of fun, exercise, and love—no energy left behind! I’m currently in school for respiratory therapy, so I’ve cut back on my hours. I work every other weekend at a memory care/assisted living facility. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m in class from 9 AM to 2:30 PM. Other than that, I’m pretty available around my work and school schedule, and I can’t wait to care for and love your animals! I have two friendly, high-energy dogs who love to play! While we don’t have a fenced yard, we’re lucky to have country property with plenty of space to walk around the fields.

“Taylor was Fantastic with Charlie. Taylor sent pictures and updates all weekend long and even a “happy Mother’s Day” photo from our puppy! A+++++ for Taylor!”

“Mikayla responded to a last minute request for our 1 year Russell Terrier. She arrived early, which we really appreciated, so we had time for a meet and greet. She is very knowledgeable about various breeds and cared for Ella as if she was her own family member. Her dog training experience was very helpful and appreciated since Ella has only been in our family for 4 weeks. We felt Ella was in good hands while we were away. We highly recommend Mikayla for your pet sitting needs.”

“Christine was excellent! She took very good care of our fur kids. When we arrived home they were wore out! Christine sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. Would highly recommend and would request back to care for our 2 girls.”

“HIRE CHRIS. I won the lottery with him. It was my first time using Rover. I have a special needs rabbit who needed a caretaker after a rabbit boarding service was no longer available. I messaged several sitters and Chris was the first to respond. He is responsive and communicative. What I absolutely love about Chris, among many things, is that he asks questions. Not in a "what do I do" kind of way. Rather, "how do I do this to make sure it's done correctly". My special needs rabbit is on a specialized diet. I left Chris with instructions, which he followed to a tee, but he also sent a photo of the food. (My rabbit is feed very soft, watered down pellets and Critical Care due to recent dental surgery). I'm happy that he did because my rabbit can't chew on pellets. He sent lots of photos of Moo, too. Chris was also flexible with the initial meet 'n' greet appointment and visiting my landlord's office to pick up my front door key (which has to be loaned out). One of the reasons I chose Chris was his close proximity to my apartment. I will 5000% hire Chris again for my rabbit sitting needs. He took great care of my very special needs rabbit and Moo liked him too! I recommend him for your pet sitting needs, including small mammals!”

About: I have cared for (and been cared for myself by) animals of every shape, size, personality, and level of care. I’m currently working retail on Main Street in Galena. Days off are Monday-Wednesday, and I will be available for check-ins or overnight stays any other day as well with notice (generally work 6-8 hr shifts) I am a respectful guest in your animal’s home, and will make sure to follow instructions and ask for clarification about their personal rituals and routines. I’m picky about my boys and their care when leaving them with a “stranger”- so you don’t have to feel crazy if you need constant check-ins (I GET IT, and I also take excellent photos 😊). I will likely ask many questions to ensure everyone’s as comfortable as possible. I know my boys turn into nervous wrecks when they sense I’m packing- and so do I!

About: I have been surrounded by cats and dogs my whole life! My family has had Blue Heelers and Beagles, and cats. I have my degree in Agriculture Education, giving me a nice rounded education on the topics of animals. I take pride in allowing your pets to become comfortable with me being in their space (: I have experience with a vast amount of dog breeds, ages, temperaments and training levels. For cats, I understand the importance of routine and comfortability in their lives. I am generally free in the mornings before 8am, and again in the afternoon after 4:30pm. I am a full time teacher, but enjoy helping others with their animals when I am free and on the weekends! I do work from home in Kieler WI, making my schedule very flexible throughout the week days for visits between work hours! When I come into a clients home I always make sure to keep the animals comfortable with me being there by taking the time to get to know their personality and mood! I am a firm believer on reading an animals body language to understand how they are feeling. I also like to make sure I leave your space just as clean as it was when I got there.

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life.I have senior cat that needed care at one time I’m willing to help you with that.

I know how pets get use to their own routine. My dogs let me know when it’s time for food. I will keep on a time schedule you set up Im very respectful, dependable and respectful. I will care for your home and pets as my own. I know how stressful this can be. Let me be one less stress I can help you whatever you need I can do.

About: I recently lost my soul dog, Wilson. He was a 14 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He is in the picture with me. I have a second Cavalier named Auggie. I worked with Wilson to become a certified therapy dog. He retired when he was 10. When he was around 9 he became deaf. Therefore, I have years of experience with a deaf dog. I have experience with dogs from puppy through old age. My grown children also have dogs. I have included some of those dogs in the pictures. We have a bulldog, a golden retriever, a boxer, a lab, and several mixed breed rescues in our family! I have decided to offer my services on Rover to help fill a void after losing my beloved Wilson. I look forward to loving your dog as my own! I work full-time but am home on weekends and have extended breaks in my work when I am home. My home is set up for animals but I am also willing to provide services in your home. For care in my home, I have a large yard in a park-like setting. My house is set up for pets with limited carpet, doggie steps to lay on a comfy couch, windows to watch squirrels and keep an eye on the mailman. I am also available to love your pets in your home.

“Whitney did a great job watching our dog and cat this past weekend. Both pets were happy and the house was in great shape! I would highly recommend Whitney! -Jenni”
