1. Sarah K.
“Very responsive and responsible. The pups did great and it was a lifesaver to have Sarah come let them out. I highly recommend Sarah and will likely be booking in the future.”
2. Mackenzie C.
“THE BEST! What a total sweetheart MacKenzie is. She was very kind and sweet to our dogs. On time for each visit and wonderful updates and pictures. Will definitely be using her again.”
3. Colleen K.
“Colleen is simply phenomenal. With three energetic dogs who have special diets—including one on daily meds—we were initially worried about finding someone who could handle their needs. But Colleen has exceeded all expectations and more. Her level of care, attention to detail, and natural rapport with our pups is truly remarkable. Whether we're away for a long weekend or an extended vacation, we always leave with complete peace of mind knowing that our dogs are in the very best of hands. Colleen's ability to manage multiple dogs with such ease and grace is a testament to her exceptional skills as a pet sitter. We're so grateful for her outstanding service and can't recommend her highly enough!”
4. Amy G.
“Amy did a great job dropping in to feed our two cats, taking care of their litter box, and spending some time giving them some attention. Amy also arrived at our house at the agreed upon time each of her scheduled days. I would recommend Amy, and will request her again if we need someone to take care of our cats.”
5. Morgan B.
“Morgan is a wonderful pet owner and caregiver. I have had the pleasure of working with Morgan in dog rescue for 2.5 years. Morgan also has a wonderful home with 3 big, lovable dogs. Morgan is knowledgeable in all things dog related and I would absolutely trust her with either of my dogs. Morgan will definitely be a great pet sitter for anyone out there looking!! :)”
6. Nick C.
“To everyone who has a dog ...! Nick is our neighbor and friend, and, for the past 15 years (and 2 different dogs) my wife and I have relied on him to take care of our dog(s) whenever the occasion arises that we need to leave her/him behind. To simplify, our first dog was a female Staffordshire Terrier mix named Waldo, 11 years now departed, and our current dog is Mickey, a male Pomeranian/dachshund mix. Dogs love Nick, and Mickey our DooDaw is no exception! Not only is Nick's patient, kind demeanor very successful, he also has the love and skill to administer Mickey's seizure medications (two pills, three times a day down the hatch of a dog who is not fooled by pillpockets!) with equal aplomb. And, when the little guy occasionally has a breakthrough seizure, Nick comforts him as lovingly as we would! Nick's love for dogs is huge; he volunteers for the Humane Society and has taken amazing pictures of many dogs in the Weston Dog Park. His wonderful photos adorn the Humane Society Calendar each year. We wholeheartedly recommend Nick to be a dog sitter, walker and caretaker for your dog! Sincerely, Len and Dawn”

“So grateful I found Lara!! I felt very at ease with her and so did my pups. Lara approached my needs professionally and empathetically. 5 stars!”
8. Jennifer D.
“Jennifer is great! She took great care of my cat and kept me in the loop on everything going on at home while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good pet sitter while they are away.”

About: Together we both have extensive experience with dogs of all ages and types. We have experience raising puppies, including those being raised to be future service dogs. Additionally, we have experience working with special needs dogs that are blind or require daily insulin treatment. We currently have two dogs, a 5 year old black lab and a 2 year old golden retriever. Both are highly socialized and get along well with dogs of all sizes/personalities. Ochai is well-known at the Rib Mountain dog park as being one of the sweetest dogs to people and dogs alike. We both volunteer our time at the Humane Society of Marathon County. Furthering our experiences with dogs of many backgrounds and temperaments. You may see a featured adoptable dog that is currently at the shelter in our photos. This dog is one we personally think may be a great addition to a family, especially one that already has a dog! Sometimes we send our dogs to daycare so we can open up our home to a shelter dog for the day and give them the relaxing day they deserve so much. Of course, on the days we do this, we aren't available to offer daycare/boarding. If you have a HSMC graduate pup from May 2023 onward we would love to see our old friends again! Please let us know and we will offer a free day of boarding or daycare as a token of appreciation for adopting a HSMC pup! When we confirm a booking you should know that at least one of us will likely be with your dog at all times, day or night. We both work from home quite often and before confirming a reservation we will check/adjust our schedules to make sure someone is going to be home during the day. It is important to your pets experience and safety that someone is watching them at all times. NEW! Tractive GPS Tracking The safety and wellbeing of your dog is always important to us and we know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet behind. That is why we have added a GPS tracker to utilize. Not only will your furry loved one's location always be known at any given second, but we can also track their health to make sure they are doing well during their stay. -We currently only have one device, so it is not a guarantee your dog will be utilizing it during their stay. If you would like to guarantee it for your pup during their stay, we can accommodate these types of requests at the time of booking for $5/night or $25/stay. -We can share access to the tracker so you can know your pups location at any time and can check in on their health. It will show various information like their sleep activity and exercise information. This is only available if you reserve the tracker ahead of their stay. ---NEW! We are now privately insured outside of Rover. This allows additional and even more comprehensive coverage for your pup while they stay with us. Through PSA we are able to offer up to $2,500 in deductible free veterinary care if your pup gets hurt/ill.--- Our house features a spacious half acre yard that is fully fenced in. We also use a doggy door to allow the dogs to freely go in and out as they please. We recently bought a doggy pool to help the pups cool off in the hot sun! You will get plenty of pictures and updates of your pup under our care. Please let us know the frequency of pictures/updates you would like and we will be happy to show you how your pup is doing. If the weather is nice, I will try to get outside and take some pictures with an actual camera for you to enjoy. Our goal is to provide quality care and take care of your pup just as much as we do our own. We love helping people and having them know their pup is being well cared for when you can't be with them.
10. Julia N.
“Julia was great! She did a meet a greet to go over everything and let her out in the time frame I asked for, she even turned on a puppy show for emma while I was away at work. Very nice lady! Would book her again.”
11. Renee S.
“Thanks Renee! Everything was taken care of and we all loved the pictures you sent every day. I could tell you played with them a bunch because after eating they led me to the toy basket 😊 I loved it.”
12. Skylar S.
“This is the second week straight that Skylar has helped us out by watching out puppy Skye. As always, she did fantastic taking care of our girl.”
13. Adelle G.
“Adelle took exceptional care of my two cats while I was away on a trip. She went above and beyond with her service, taking lots of notes and pictures. She completed every request I asked of her and even went a step further to make sure my cats felt completely cared for while I was away. She is the biggest sweetheart with a passion for pets. She allowed me have complete peace of mind knowing my cats were being treated as if they were her own. Words cannot describe how much I appreciate her. She is reliable, trustworthy, and is quick to respond. You will not be disappointed choosing Adelle for any of your pets needs.”
14. Lucinda K.
“Just seen this Lucinda is a loving and caring person who loves dogs she is very good with dogs as she knows them so well it's like she can communicate with them it's like they r her best friend”
15. Kirsten R.
“Kirsten goes above and beyond when caring for our pets. She plays with them. She sometimes treats them to catnip and toys too. During Kirsten's most recent visit, we received a Chewy delivery. Kirsten brought all four boxes from outside into the garage. We know that we can rely on Kirsten and our pets love her.”
16. Taylor L.
“We loved having Taylor check in on our cats for us! She made sure to give them plenty of love, and even cleaned up multiple throw-up piles from our cat that eats too fast. She even let us know that the power went out while we were gone and made sure our appliances and everything were turned back on and working. Any time we go out of town and need someone to check in on our cats, we'll definitely be reaching out to her again!”
17. Patti B.
“I highly recommend Patti as a pet caregiver for Rover. Over several years, I had the pleasure of watching her care for my three pets—two cats and a tripod dog—with extraordinary compassion and skill. She would often step in for extended periods while I was away traveling, handling everything from feeding routines to medical needs. Patti is highly experienced in administering various types of medication, including tablets, capsules, fish oil, and insulin shots for cats, which she learned while caring for a diabetic neighbor's pet. She’s also attentive to any prescription diet guidelines, ensuring pets get exactly what they need, but she’s more than happy to give them plenty of snacks and treats where they’re allowed. My dog, a tripod, also has special needs; Patti knows how to apply his carpal brace for walks and has experience trimming both cat and dog nails—a task she handles with a calm confidence that puts pets at ease. She even switched to a less comfortable bed herself to ensure my dog could rest where he felt most secure. In addition to her extensive experience with older pets, Patti has cared for puppies and is well-versed in their energy and needs. Throughout her life, she has looked after a wide range of animals, including bunnies, mice, hamsters, fish, and of course, cats and dogs. One of the best endorsements of her warmth and dedication is my dog’s reaction whenever he hears we’re heading over to Patti’s house—he jumps around with excitement, knowing he’s in for some quality time and love. Although she isn’t a fan of reptiles, snakes, or spiders, she is wonderfully suited to caring for most household pets with love, attentiveness, and expertise. Patti would be an asset to any pet family on Rover. Her dedication and warmth make her a standout caretaker who genuinely prioritizes the well-being and comfort of the pets in her care.”
18. Erica S.
“Very prompt and courteous, flexible with any changes (we arrived home earlier than expected). House was as we left it, dog was well cared for, she even came an extra time in order to not have extended times between check ins. Would book again”
19. Cassidy M.
“This is the second time we’ve booked Cassidy! She is so sweet and gives tons of updates. It makes it so much easier to leave Sydney knowing she is well cared for!”
20. Stephanie D.
“Stephanie watched our golden lab while we were out of town for a week. Our dog Clyde had a great time with her family and dog Crew. We had peace of mind knowing Clyde was in good hands and on a vacation of his own with a live-in playmate!”
