“Ashley is wonderful! She loves my Bella so much and takes good care of her! I bet Bella would keep her all day If she could. Bella absolutely loves Ashley! We will use her for as long as we are in the area”

“I highly recommend Emma. She is experienced with all types of dogs due to her background fostering animals. She handled our large, headstrong dog very well when she walked him around Ada Hayden each day. She is always very prompt when scheduling visits.”

About: I have a big heart for all animals. You can count on your dog/cat provided with genuine care and attention. Since starting Rover, I have come in contact with all types of furry friends, all of them being great experiences. Whether your fur baby likes long walks, quick runs, or is a couch potato, I will fit to all of the needs and wants. I would love nothing more than to be able to help another during a busy week/weekend, or just a busy life. When it comes to availability, I work very well on a schedule - as well as being able to have flexibility. I am off every weekend and Monday, with lots of random days off here and there. I can also make time before or after work. I can promise your fur babies will be treated with more than enough attention, love and respect. I am a part time worker in Portage, Wi. I work (typically) Tuesday - Friday but take quite a bit of work off, when given the opportunity, to spend time at home with my toddler. We are in the works of getting a fence around our yard and hope to have once come fall of 2025. My pets are my children. They are spoiled and loved deeply. We have a long yard leash that our puppy uses as well as constant supervision when outdoors.
“Lexi is very punctual and easy to work with. She takes great care of our pup and went above and beyond with extra requests today to get him some water and put him in his crate when they got back from their walk. Thank you, Lexi!”

About: Friendly and reliable pet care-taker, who can accommodate your pet's every need. I provide walks, feeding, playtime, and any specific requirements your pet may need! I work a flexible schedule: available to check on cats and dogs throughout the day, board pets in my home, or stay with your pet as needed. My home has a spacious backyard with a park very nearby. Your pet would be kept on a leash, but would be provided with plenty of walks and outdoor time. I have an older cat who is friendly with all dogs.

About: I previously owned and operated Happy Tails Pet Sitting for a year and a half, providing reliable drop in visits and walks for dogs with a wide range of needs. I am now the owner of Pauquette Paws in Poynette, WI, where I run a structured, kennel free dog daycare. My hands on experience has given me a strong understanding of dog body language, leash handling, and managing different energy levels. I am especially comfortable with puppies, high energy dogs, and dogs that benefit from clear structure and consistency. I am currently available for drop in visits and walks on weekends. My weekend availability allows me to provide reliable, attentive care when many owners need the most support. Feel free to reach out with your preferred times, and I will do my best to accommodate your dog’s routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With professional experience in both pet sitting and daycare settings, I am highly attentive to dog body language, proper leash handling, and maintaining calm, controlled visits. During drop in visits and walks, I focus on secure entries and exits, safe neighborhood awareness, and following your dog’s routine closely. I am comfortable administering medications if needed and will always provide detailed Rover updates with photos so you can feel confident while you are away. You can expect dependable, professional care and a calm, structured presence your dog can trust.
