“Theresa was awesome with my Elly! I highly recommend for all you pet lovers out there that need a sitter that will provide your four legged baby with lots of love and attention.”
“Brynn was welcoming and reassuring when we dropped our dog off. She asked good questions and seemed very comfortable with our high energy dog. Bryan provided messages when we asked about Bailey. She was very prompt in responding. I would use Bryan as a boarder again.”
“Thank you for taking great care of our pup! When we got back and picked her up she was calm and very happy, a great sign she had a great time and was treated well. Our first rover experience wasn’t so great, but by comparison with this time we can say confidently there was a great difference in quality, thanks again!”
About: I can do just about anything. I have experience with all ages of animals. I trained my own dog with basic commands. I am a very patient person and I will treat your furry baby the way I treat my own. I have a very energetic 2 year old, 40 pound, Belgian malinois/german Shepard that I rescued from our local shelter as a puppy. I walk/run him daily if not twice a day. Caring for dogs and cats is no inconvenience in my daily life. Our backyard is not fenced in, however I have a 50 ft leash available for use to allow dogs to have the freedom to roam and sniff. I can also take them out on a leash myself. For boarding we have an area for dogs to be alone to have downtime. Along with a large crate with a dog bed inside.
“Lisa and her family were amazing with my girls. I have an older chihuahua that was nipping at her when we got there. When I picked her up to go home she came out peacefully babied in Lisa’s daughters arms. My rambunctious young lab mix wanted to show me all the dog pools and had a great time playing with the rest of the pups. She’s keeping my girls again soon for a long weekend and I feel so comfortable in knowing they will be loved on and well cared for.”
About: I am a professional, certified dog trainer and I want to bring my skills and passion for pet care to your aid. I have 15 years professional experience working with dogs and 12 years of training under my belt (mostly positive training, no force or intimidation!) I can drop in for potty breaks, or feed and water your pup. I can administer medications and change bandages as I have been trained to do. On walks we can head to the Janesville dog park for the trails or stroll around town depending on your location. If your dog is safe off leash we can even throw in a game of fetch for added running benefits! I can care for more than just dogs, too! I have experience with numerous exotic pets (snakes, lizards, rats, rabbits, and much more!) as well as horses and other farm critters! Chickens, pigs, and others. If you need pet care for your non-dog or cat animals contact me! I will pet sit small caged animals in my home. I will provide photos during my time with your pooch as well, so you can see how their doing and know they are safe and happy! Please NO retractable leashes! If you do not have a standard 4 or 6 foot leash I will use my own to walk your pup! Let me care for your dog when you can't - feed and water, medications, or just cuddles. I'm here to help you, help your pet. Pet Sitting is my only and primary income source and I book up fast! Schedule me sooner rather than later to get the spots you need. Dogs are let out to potty in the location you choose. I will clean up any mess they may have left, especially puppies. I can also give medications or clean cages of small animals. For farm animals, I will feed, water, and can give medicine.
“Frida was an absolutely phenomenal sitter and so sweet and loving to our dog Blaike. She treated her with warmth, kindness, and patience. Her dogs were loving and playful with our dog and welcomed her with open paws! Frida provided many updates with pictures and videos and let us know how thoroughly she was being cared for and enjoying her stay. Frida truly treats your dog like family and I highly recommend her as your sitter! We will absolutely be booking her for our next trip. Thank you so much Frida!!”
About: We have had a dog or dogs for over 20 years. My husband and I both grew up with dogs as well. Our two dogs have been with us since they were puppies and both of them attended three levels of dog training classes. I work part-time very early in the morning and we spend a lot of time at home because my kids are homeschooled. There is usually always someone at home. I will do as much as I can to accommodate the dog owner’s preference in care for their dog. We have two dogs that can play with your dog. If your dog needs to be in a crate I can accommodate that. Our dogs are not allowed on the couches and chairs but my children do let them sleep in their beds.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was little. I love the energy they have . Keeps me on my feet. They know how to keep me going Part time would be wonderful . Only because I’m on disability and cannot make more then my check sadly . But it’s fine I promise I live in a tiny town no crime. Very nice for animals to go on walks. Gets plenty of play time. Lots of attention. Gotta love themm
“The best sitters on this app! Absolutely professional in the way of doing things and unbelievably lovely with the dog. I’ve left my pup with them twice and she refuses to leave their place when I pick her back up. Super friendly couple and very much involved in their care towards dogs. Thomas and Emily always accommodated my requests and were super helpful in giving my pups medication too. I would 100% recommend them, the best dog sitters ive come across so far!!!”
“Tony was AMAZING. He sent lots of pictures and took our dog on multiple walks a day. He kept us updated and was flexible with pickup/drop off times. Our dog even came back knowing a new trick!”
About: I’ve had 3+ years in professional dog training as well as kennel care. I have whelped litters of puppies and am well rounded for any level of dog. I currently train dogs in general obedience and give riding lessons part-time. I do this all from my home so I would be accessible at any time to your pets needs. My farm is over four acres and is surrounded by corn fields. I have two very well trained dogs that help me socialize client dogs. In the evenings I do crate all dogs.

Kimberly L.
“Kim made us feel so comfortable about leaving our dog at home. Kim's knowledge of animals and immediate repoire with our dog Ewok (a Shih Tzu). Ewok tends to be picky with her people and seeing Kim's approach and attitude, Ewok was immediately comfortable. After returning from vacation we came home to find the house in good shape, Ewok looked groomed and happy and she gave us a great report. Even in the middle of our vacation when we were nervous pet owners. We may have contacted her a. Bit too much. She made us feel comfortable that Ewok was doing well and being looked after. Kim made us feel she was loving and responsible person, and we wouldn't hesitate to ask her to dogsit Ewok again.”
