“Rich did a wonderful job taking care of our special needs cat. Bop has a neurological disorder and requires a lot of extra care and accommodations. This was our first time leaving him so I was extremely nervous. But Rich followed our many instructions to the letter, provided excellent communication and photos, and most importantly, gave him lots of love. It was such a weight off our minds knowing he was in good hands! We will definitely use Rich in the future.”

“This was our first time with Ashley. She stopped by in advance for a meet and greet which reassured us greatly. She was on time for her drop-in visit with our kitty. She took care of all of our cat's needs (food, litter box, treats), spent some time with her, and sent us photos from the visit.”


About: I am an animal lover! I love walking, playing, and taking care of dogs/cats and all other animals! I have two cats. I will play with your dogs outside and I will make sure that they have a good time! I enjoy going on walks! I really love taking dogs for walks! I will dog sit all dogs, no matter size. I have a lot of experience with dogs! For my whole life I have been around animals! I will provide a lot of fun for your dogs and cats! I love giving dogs and cats the love that they deserve! I’m really glad I seen an ad for Rover and can’t wait to dogsit (or catsit) and walk your dogs! Thank you for this great opportunity!
About: I've always been a huge dog lover, tried to take in every stray as a kid, I grew up around dogs like basset hounds, Labradors, poodles and beagles. I've dog sat for boxers who think they're lap dogs, I've sat for younger pups, middle aged dogs, senior dogs, small dogs and big dogs! I go on frequent walks, play tug a war, play fetch, snuggles and affection. Give dogs medication if they need it, whatever makes the dogs happy! I'm very fond of cats as well I love all the different cat personalities and just being able to have some calm moments and snuggle with them. I'm a wife, mom and accountant by day but Thursday-Sunday I have more flexibility to soak up extra pet snuggles. Watching other people's precious pups/cats allows me more animal loving time. I treat all pets just like I would my own pup or kitty cat lots of snuggles, a few treats, safe walks making sure harnesses or leashes are properly worn and make sure they are always in a safe environment.
About: I have been an animal lover ever since I can remember! I worked at Sondel Family Vet & absolutely loved it! I had to unfortunately leave due to having my first child. I always enjoyed spending my days interacting with owners and their pets to make sure they were provided with the best care (While also giving them extra love.) I have also had many pets throughout my life; including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs & bearded dragons. I even recently fostered my first dog who got adopted a few weeks after I took her in! I have worked on farms with cattle & have also taken many equine classes at UW-Madison. So yes, I have quite an extensive resume working with animals! Our evenings & weekends are usually always open. I am a student on break until January 20th. I also work in the evening, but am willing to schedule around this time! Nothing is too much of an ask for your babies! I will always follow directions attentively while also treating them like my own. I also have a 2 year old which will end up needing to tag along with me sometimes. So we know to have boundaries when it comes to her. I am aware of how to safely introduce them as long as you are comfortable having your pup around her.
About: I've worked with all types of dogs and cats and provide a fun and safe experience for them. Im especially skilled with shy or reserved animals (dogs and cats) and harder to manage or aggressive breed dogs. You will be more than happy with the care your animal receives, I understand they are a beloved member of your family. I'm semi retired and available for walking, checking on and pet sitting most days. I'm extremely reliable and guarantee a great experience for your pet. Pets are handled with care and gently at all times. Your pets safety and a positive fun experience is what I can provide every time.
About: I have had dogs since I was to young to remember! My passion has always been making dogs happy! Through having completely different kinds of dogs myself and helping with family and friends I have gotten experience with all type of animals! I am currently only working part time and looking to stay busy walking pups! I live a very active lifestyle and bringing the dogs along is always my favorite. I currently have my own pets whom are extremely social and friendly! I have a big yard any dog would love to run and play in!
About: I have been a dog momma and lover for years. They are my world and I am theirs. Yours will be taken care of at the same level I care for my own! I am sincerely drawn to dogs when I see them. They've got so much love and joy to offer this world, how could you not? I have 3 labs currently and have trained all of my dogs from babies on up. We have almost always maintained a 3 dog household, they get walks everyday so long as the weather permits and plenty of playtime. Rest assured, your pup will be taken care of in the same respect and manner as I care for my own. I work from home so can make time for lunch time appointments if close enough to my home, I work until 5 so can be available in the evenings until 9pm, except for Wednesdays I have volleyball either at 6:30 or 7:30, but can still make appointments work in there. Also around most weekends except for family events here and there and two vacations we take a year. :) I protect them with my life. I love my babies so deeply and am so thankful I work from home so I get to be with them everyday. Yours will be treated no different. Dogs have so much love and joy to offer the world and they only deserve the same in return.
“Rebecca was a treasure! Both for me and my kitters. Pics, and even a video, from each visit, showed how much Zuko warmed up to her right away. Communication before and after was so helpful, since I'd never used a service such as this before. Rebecca's service is definitely a 5-star rating. I'll be calling on her again and again, as needed. Thank you so very much!! NS”

“Kimberly took exceptional care of our babies for 12 days! Our train was running super late, and she even went one more time to make sure they were ok while we were gone. I could not imagine how it would have been without Kimberly. I did not worry for one second with her caring for our pets. She is super friendly, kind and personable and you can tell just how much she loves animals. Would 100/10 recommend Kimberly and we plan on booking her for our future trips as well.”

Ashley is wonderful - respectful, professional, and genuinely loves animals. I’m not sure what else one could want when trusting someone with their pets! I was recommended her and will be recommending to others as well as booking her in the future. Thank you!

I am so grateful for Ashley! Ashley played with Melman during each visit and also scooped his litter box. I felt so much better knowing that she visited my kitty and gave him some social time while I was gone. She was also ready to help with drop-in visits for Melman on very short notice, and even found the time to schedule a meet and greet beforehand. Thank you Ashley!
