“Janice and her husband Mark are delightful. They are obviously both very caring and attentive. They took wonderful care of our dog, Lily, and provided daily updates with pictures. We’ll definitely leave Lily with them again!”
“Christine is the absolute best. She made us feel very comfortable with leaving our pup and was awesome about keeping us updated. I think our dog liked being with Christine more than at home! It was such a blessing finding such an amazing dog sitter!!!”
“Amazing people who love and care for my pup while he is with them - they also send the cutest pictures and updates! They were also super understanding when I got stuck in traffic on the way to pick my dog up.”
“Malena and her son Gabriel took good care of our little guy! She sent several photos, texts and some video to keep us updated and to share how well he was doing. He was obviously enjoying himself while we were away on vacation. The photos of him out walking and playing in the snow were adorable! Some flexibility in drop off and pick up times was helpful. I highly recommend Malena.”
“Emily and her family took amazing care of my dog Dove! They welcomed her as part of the family and did a great job gauging and responding to her energy level as needed. Emily was excellent with communication, updates, and giving Dove her daily pill. I knew Dove was being so well taken care of, and I (and she) look forward to having her stay with Emily again in the future!”
“Robert was amazing. I got updates from him regularly with photos of Baby. I didn’t even have to ask. He has the cutest little French bulldog that kept Baby company as well. Will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Michelle (and family) took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town for 2 days, even keeping her calm during a storm. Great communication, too!”
“Polyanna is a very communicative and responsive, my dog Ziggy had a great time! She even gave a good recommendation for a no pull dog harness as well. I would recommend Polyanna for anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Maegan was SO patient with my pup and sent me regular updates (& pics) throughout the stay. She was also gracious enough to keep her one extra night (on very short notice) when I was unable to fly home the original evening I was supposed to return. This booking was my VERY first time using Rover. And it was a positive experience overall because of Maegan's care 100%!”
“Lindsey did a fantastic job of taking care of Coco. During my trip, I had travel delays and Lindsey was more than accommodating to help with last minute changes. She gave me frequent updates on Coco and I felt very at ease knowing that my fur baby was in very good hands. Would highly recommend!”
“Amy was awesome!!! We were so grateful to know that our little dog was in such capable and loving hands while we were on vacation. She was very communicative and provided great updates. We will definitely book with her again!!! Thanks Amy!!! 💕🐾”
“Thank you guys very much for watching Boni. I think she had a great time with you guys and she was very tired when she got home. I think she loved having a fenced in yard.”
“Christina & Jeremy did a great job with my dog! He was dealing with a rash, so he had just been prescribed medication. It is hard to trust sitters to keep up with your dog’s medication regimen, but when my dog came back, his rash was looking much better. Christina and Jeremy are a trustworthy couple for you to leave your pets with!”
“Ryan and Jocelyn (and their girls) are truly incredible. They have watched our dog multiple times now, and do such a wonderful job caring for her! Our dog has quite a lot of energy, and they work hard to take her on walks, play with her, and care for her so kindly. We trust them completely, and would recommend them to anyone! Thank you Ryan and Jocelyn!”
“Evelin was wonderful with Fletcher! Fletcher had the best time with her and her partner, and loves the dog park in their apartment complex! Evelin sent me lots of pictures throughout his stay and frequent updates. I would definitely have Fletcher stay with her in the future!”
“Mary took our dog for our wedding weekend and she was great! Pugsy had a great time with her dog, going on a walk, and going to the dog park! She sent pictures and we did not worry about Pugsy at all! We will definitely book with Mary in the future!”
About: Whether your dog is shy, elderly, boisterous, or just wants to sniff, my home and back yard are a fun and welcoming spaces for them to just be themselves. I’ve taken more than a dozen training classes with Dogs Best Friend Training, volunteered with Fetch Wisconsin, and cared for several beloved coonhounds, a Giant Schnauzer, and a few mutts, from puppyhood to the Rainbow Bridge. I have a special spot in my heart for older dogs, and even have a ramp exit from my home into the back yard, should anyone’s legs not do stairs. My current pup is a 35-lb terrier/pittie mix rescue I foster-failed with from FetchWI. She loves other dogs and is available for play at any time. I work from home full-time, leaving only for short errands, generally less than two hours every few days. Dogs at my house get frequent potty breaks and playtime in the spacious fenced back yard. Dogs are never left unsupervised outdoors. They can play with my resident dog, who is a very friendly gal with the motto “Delta Delta Delta can I help ya help ya help ya?”. If I have to be gone for a bit there is plenty of room to crate them, or possibly keep them in a separate space. Water is available at all times, indoors and out. For now, I am only accepting one guest dog at a time for daycare or overnight stays. Dropoff and pickup times are 7-9am and 4-6pm Monday through Saturday. Dogs can choose to spend time indoors or out, weather permitting. They can smell the ferns, check out the rain garden, play in the grass, run around under the firs, and say hello to the kids next door. They can zoom around with my resident dog, chill out on the deck or play toss and fetch with me. Indoors they can explore my downstairs and rest on a dog bed, or hang out near me on the futon or the bed. If the weather is too bad for outdoor play I can do informal training and play scent games with them. Dogs that stay three days or more will get a free bath unless requested otherwise.
“Cleda was very accommodating with some last minute changes to my dog's stay. Loved the pictures she sent and the report card when I picked Chloe up. Thank you!”

Julie takes the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, and it shows in the way my dogs light up when they see her. She’s reliable, patient, and genuinely loves animals, which gives me total peace of mind when I’m away. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter.”
