About: I will treat your pet as my own! I will love on them, respect their boundaries they may need, and provide great care for them. I have been dogs for 20 years now and love many kinds of pets! I volunteered at an animal shelter for 6 years and treated each animal as if it were my own! I love to make homemade peanut butter treats for my personal dogs and would love to bring a treat to your fur baby! I have two young kids who are animal lovers them self! We will keep your pet safe and very loved on! I’m open to your schedule and needs that may be required! I’m open to doing drop visits for other animals as well! Look forward to hearing from you! When I’m at home I play and spend time with my two Saint Bernard! I would do the same with your dogs as well. I love to be around pets that’s why I work this into my jobs schedule! I have an open backyard that my dogs go on leashes while they go potty. We also walk our our younger one nightly and get to the dog park several times a month. Therefore, for your loved pet I would be able to do that or let them roam the yard without leash as well. I can take them for walks or to the park if needed.

About: Hey there! I’m Emma an animal lover, adventure buddy, and seasoned pet sitter. I’ve grown up all of my life with many furry pals, including my two sweet kitties, Toast and Jam, and my soulmate pup Daisy, a German Shepherd. Daisy and I adventure all over Wisconsin together, and she’s taught me so much about what it means to truly understand and care for a working dog. It’s the most rewarding job being her momma. I’ve worked with a variety of furry pals with varying temperaments and needs. From high energy adventure pups to shy or reactive pups that take time and patience to build trust with. Whether it’s exploring pretty nature trails or giving your pet the love and peace from their routine at home, I will always bring a calm, confident energy and a deep respect for each animal’s individual personality. Some special things id love to offer: -Personalized care for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments -Experience with reactive and nervous pets. -Long walks, enrichment play, and outdoor adventures -Reliable, respectful house sitting with updates and photos -Positive reinforcement and attentive body language reading There’s nothing more fulfilling to me than seeing and helping pets experience life (through walks or adventures), seeing new places, feeling comfortable and confident, or relaxed and worn out through a full day of love. Whether it’s a slow leisurely walk for a senior pup or a wild goose chase in the backyard. I would be so honored to make your pet feel loved, safe, and excited for their time with me! Pet care has been a huge part of my daily and weekly routine. I currently work four days a week from 9am to 5:30pm, but I have a full hour lunch break that gives me the flexibility to do midday check-ins or walks. I’m an early bird, so I’m happy to fit in a nice walk before work too! I usually finish early on Fridays around 2pm and have weekends completely free, perfect for longer stays, adventures, and extra snuggly time. Whether it’s early mornings, lunchtime visits, or weekend playdates, I ensure to always make your babies feel loved, safe, and well cared for throughout the week. Whether I’m caring for my pets in my home or staying in yours, I will always treat every animal like they’re my own. In a client’s home, I aim to keep pets routines as consistent and comforting as possible-feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles all tailored to their individual needs. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or reactive pets, using positive reinforcement and maintaining a calm and reassuring energy. I keep things tidy and respectful while house sitting, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. If I’m doing drop-in visits or walks, I make sure your pet gets not just the basics, but enrichment too to ware their little noggins out as well. Whether that’s a game, a training moment, or a peaceful walk around the neighborhood giving them time to sniff each and everything they please to! I will make every visit feel like a little adventure or a comforting check-in, depending on whatever your pets needs are!

About: I have always loved taking care of family pets growing up. I can’t have a dog where I live, so want to help others get some stress off their plate while I’m currently able to. I currently have a very flexible schedule, and am available most days of the week or weekend. I spend a lot of time helping my parents around their house in Grafton, but am otherwise pretty free. I’m happy to take your dog on a nice long walk and to communicate with you along the way. I have experience walking family dogs growing up, but since I’m new to Rover I’d prefer to not walk very large dogs (100lb +) that have trouble on a leash.

“Great with my dogs and cats. I appreciate her willingness to and positive attitude. Even my one dog that’s somewhat nervous loves being with her. Thanks Tasia”

About: I have had pets since I was 1 years old. I have had everything from guinea pigs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hermit crabs and more! I currently have 2 labradors and 2 bunnies with my husband (bunnies have their own room in the house separated from the dogs). I have been an adoption counselor for the Wisconsin Humane Society for 3.5 years. I love animals and am very comfortable around them. My husband and I are comfortable with all sized dogs and breeds! I work from home and have a home office that attaches to the sliding back door. We have a fully fenced in backyard and my dogs love to run around in the back! I have a completely fenced in back yard. The house is always at a comfortable temperature, someone is almost ALWAYS home. Our dogs are probably only home alone 1-2 hours max a day. All medications are kept in the bathroom at the highest cupboard (dogs are not allowed in the bathroom). We do not keep anything on the counters and all doors are shut when not supervised to ensure safety.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life and wouldn’t have it any other way. Be it canine, equine or feline, big or small, I take care of them all! My background: - I have been working at a dog kennel for around 7 years now - I work with my mom to run a dog walking/pet sitting business that’s going on 6 years (I am looking to expand personally, create connections and meet new people! If needed, my mom and I can tag-team care to best accommodate you and your family as well) - I currently work at DoodyCalls, and see/interact with dogs on the daily! - I work as a farm/stablehand taking care of a variety of animals and critters (horses, dogs, cats, donkeys, goats, chickens, etc.), and have been doing that for about 10 years - I currently have 2 cats (both American shorthair) and 1 dog (Australian Shepherd). I have lived with dogs my entire life and cats for the past 15 With my experience and background, I am able to care for a wide variety of animals and pets. I specialize in dogs and cats, however I have yet to turn a job down and enjoy a challenge and/or change of pace. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companions! I currently work full-time, so my main focus will be on overnight (which would include morning, midday, evening and overnight care) and evening petsitting. Weekends I am available all day and are the most flexible. Depending on you and/or your pets needs, my schedule can be adjusted as needed and I will do my best to accommodate you and your pets! After meeting with your pet(s) for the first time, I usually go over their routine, ask/answer questions and go over a schedule that works best on both ends. I have treats readily available, and extra leashes if needed! My main mission is to deliver top quality care and make sure your animals feel safe and comfortable while you are away. After every visit I send updates to the pet-parents (pictures included of course!) and ensure stellar communication throughout!

About: Hi, I'm Emily! I have been an avid dog lover for as long as I can remember, and love pups of all shapes, sizes, and age. While living in Chicago I began walking a handful of dogs for a smaller walking/boarding company whose focus was mainly helping disabled or sick pet owners. This really piqued my interest in helping others take care of their 4 legged family members. From there I began volunteering at adoption and rescue centers through PAWS, where I mainly walked and cared for post-op dogs and cats. While working at PAWS was hardly glamorous, it was incredibly rewarding returning healthy animals back to their families. I understand how difficult and stressful it can get to be sure your pup is properly cared for, and would love to help you out as much as I can! My schedule is flexible to meet your needs. I can walk your pup in mornings and/or afternoons Monday through Friday. Weekend availability possible upon request. Our home has baby gates to keep furry friends on the first floor. The backyard is not fully enclosed, but we have a staked leash available.

About: I have had two dogs and they gave me so much joy. I also have volunteer as a dog walker at the Ozaaukee Humane Society. I would be able to dog walk Mondays. Tuesdays and Wednesday mornings. If I would need to evenings after 8 would be fine. Some weekends are open. I would like to be a dog walker. I like to spend time out in nature. I like the exercise and the company of a dog. I can be a dog sitter as well.

About: I am a caring and responsible pet caretaker. A pet is a family member; therefore, making sure they are fed appropriately, walked accordingly, and given the attention they deserve is top priority. I have had three dogs of my own, all rescued, so knowing how to gain trust and provide a comforting environment is my specialty. I also have two cats that have enriched my world as well! I know how to handle both anxious and energetic dogs; each needs the same amount of care and attention, yet knowing how to provide this in a unique and effective manner is important to me. I treat all pets with respect and provide the care and service they need, and I hope to provide this care for your animals as well! Compared to other sitters, my schedule is pretty flexible as I do not work a regular 9 to 5! I am back in school to pivot my career; therefore, I am available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings! (depending on the day and class schedule) At this time, I cannot offer pet accommodations in my own home. With my own pets, I stick to a daily routine for my labradoodle (Dora) and two cats (Candy and Tilo). Regular feeding times, regular walks, and of course, keeping their designated areas clean and tidy!

About: NOW BOOKING SUMMER VACATIONS! I am a mom of 4 energetic boys & one spoiled golden retriever. I enjoy keeping the gang busy outside, on nature hikes & any adventures you can think of to tired them all out. I’ve been on both sides of doggie-sitting and love the convenience of sharing in the comforts of home rather than a kennel. My family loves welcoming new pets into our home—we treat them as our own. I am happy to follow all routines your pet is used to, communicate throughout the day and share pictures! I do request that we do a short meet & greet ahead of time so to make sure that all get along—must work well with kiddos. Our golden is a big baby so she will probably just lay on her back with her tail wagging. I work part-time as a substitute teacher and my husband works from home-- we're rarely gone more than a few hours a day. If your pet likes vehicles, they’ll just tag along with the crew on the few occasions we’re doing pick ups. I have over an acre of yard to play in! My golden is trained w an electric fence, but we also have a long line to keep your pet safe when we’re not out. We have a golden, so your dog would join in daily walks and belly rubs. The dog is just another family member in our crew! We never let our visiting dogs left out unattended and either stay on leash or tethered while we’re outside. I also work with the owner to see what works best for your pet!

“Melissa did a great job! She was punctual and updated us with pictures. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future.”

About: I understand the importance of having someone trustworthy enough to let your dog(s) out to go to the bathroom, to go for a walk with, to play with, and to feed. I rescued my first dog 8 years ago and I wanted the best for him, just like I’d do my best to care for your dog. My dog had a heart condition and I know the importance of him taking daily medication and balancing activity. I am now a “mom” of a 1.5 year old pug. During the school year, I am available many evenings and weekends. During the summer, I’m available almost anytime. I would be willing to feed and play with your dog. I am also able to care for cats. I am open to other accommodations and I would always make sure your door is locked behind me. If you have any questions, please ask! I take care of my dog on a daily basis. She has a ton of energy! As for caring for your dog, I work during the school year, so I have summers off. Between the months of September and May, I'm available after 4:30p and on weekends. If you aren't sure about your schedule and mine matching, please don't hesitate to ask :) I have watched dogs in situations that involve letting them out on a leash or in a fenced in backyard. I’m also very cautious when going on walks with my dog, and I’d do the same for yours. Safety is always number one!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life. I now have 2 dogs, Belgian Malinois/Shepard mix and Chihuahua/Min Pin mix and a cat. My husband is trained in working dog K9 training for puppies and adult dogs. I have taken care of my parents senior dogs as well. We will take and send you as many pictures during your pets stay as you would like! I am a stay at home mom that takes care of kids and pets.

I walk, play, cuddle, keep a feeding routine, and clean environment for my animals and any in my care. . We will take and send you as many pictures during your pets stay as you would like!

“Rye and Rosie had a great walk with Lynnann. I also appreciate how quickly she got back to me!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life; old, young, untrained, lazy, energetic…you name it! I can’t imagine a life without experiencing the love of a furry friend! I’ve raised my own dogs, dog-sat in other’s homes, and dog-sat in my own home many times. I love showering people’s dogs with love when they are unable to! Something that sets me apart is my flexibility. I have plenty of free time during the week to care for your pup(s). I go for numerous walks each day, making it no issue to make sure your pup(s) gets out. In general, I am outside as much as possible too. I try to approach new dogs with a relaxed and comforting demeanor. I have a park across the street from my home with plenty of green space. I am very flexible and will do my best to accommodate your requests! When I am walking, hosting, or watching a dog in a client’s home, you can bet that dog is experiencing no shortage of love and attention!

Your pup will still get plenty of attention, and I can take breaks for walks, playtime, and snuggles.

I also have experience fostering kittens and caring for multiple pets at once, so if you have a multi-pet household, I’m happy to help!
