“My 1st time using any online pet sitting service and I was lucky to have gotten Kim which was also a last minute emergency-request Christmas Break 2023. Kim was above and beyond great, kind, and helpful! My cat doesn't like any human as much as she does Me and now Kim! (My daughter isn't thrilled about that fact. LOL!) I completely trusted Kim with my home, my indoor cat and outdoor critters who also think they're family and can't be forgotten if I'm away. There was no doubt that I wanted Kim this 2nd time I had to be away. If I could give her more $, I always would because you can't put a price to the care and worry you and your pets feel when you have to be away from them. Kim KNOWS how to take care of ALL animals and she will care and respect your home (your pets home)! Thank you Kim for loving my Cat & my new Cat now too! My critters outside were also happy campers. Thank You for taking care of them too!”

“Tara was wonderful! She took great care of Ruby while we were away and even went above and beyond by checking on our chickens for us. It was such a relief knowing everyone was in good hands. We’ll absolutely be using Tara again!”

About: i prefer to go by the name London!! I’ve had pets all my life. I currently have a hamster, two cats, and a leopard gecko in my house. I have loved animals since i was a kid and would love to pet sit for you!! I am currently looking for smaller jobs to do instead of big corporate ones! i’ve found i need something more personal, and think this is just the thing! I care about animals a lot, and have three pets of my own! I currently own a cat, a leopard gecko, and a hamster! I am able to take them out every few hours or sooner depending on what their needs look like, as well as feeding schedules that vary!

“Loren is awesome! Our plans changed due to weather and Covid. Loren was flexible and thoughtful. I’m always anxious about leaving my dogs and cat but with Loren I knew they were well taken care of putting my mind at ease.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love! I have a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with an emphasis in Companion Animal Management, and I’ve spent the past 8 years working with pets in a variety of settings. For the past 2 years, I’ve worked at a veterinary clinic, which has given me even more experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and routines. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I want every pet (and pet parent!) to feel safe and cared for. Whether we’re going for a walk, getting some extra playtime, or just enjoying some company during a drop-in visit, I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, love, and care! 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule where I am able to make time for your pets needs! I am available 7 days a week and at almost any hour. I will treat your pet just like my very own. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, whether it be for work or a trip, and I hope to be able to bring comfort to them and to you while you are away.

About: We love to watch pets grow and learn! We operated a state-licensed in-home daycare for children for 10 years. Now, our family enjoys hosting dogs in our home! We are accommodating and have many repeat guests. Our regular daycare dogs are best friends. We enjoy meeting new pet families. *WE WILL SEND PICTURES, VIDEOS, AND RESPOND AS PROMPTLY AS POSSIBLE TO ANY MESSAGES YOU SEND* **No children are present currently. ** Due to allergies, hypoallergenic pets preferred** Recently we have switched things up. My Husband Paul, is home full-time. I work part-time. I have the luxury of being home in the middle of the day. We have plenty of love and attention to give. My husband and adult children also love dogs, we work as a team. My dogs are rarely to never, without an adult. We have two training periods per day with our dogs and include any dogs that are here as well. Our home is VERY PUPPY PROOF, as we have had the joy of raising puppies in our home recently. My spots fill up quickly so plan ahead. I can’t wait to meet your dogs! Shelby, Paul and Alyssa. I have two friendly Bernedoodles who will gladly run the backyard with your pups! They prefer multiple short visits to the backyard and one or two long play sessions. We go out with the dogs and PLAY WITH THEM. I can keep smaller breeds entirely separated from larger dogs if preferred. However, my dogs are very gentle with small dogs. We rarely leave our babies home alone. We do have XL crates available to keep them safe if they have a short time alone due to an emergency. Guests have the privilege of supervised, free-roaming access to the dog-friendly/dog-proofed main level of the house. We can separate dogs if necessary with walk-through gates. This is something we do during meet and greets, but rarely during an actual stay. I can accommodate eating preferences. Water is available in multiple rooms. I specialize in puppy care and will work on training your dog as well while in my care. I do not accept aggressive or reactive dogs. I require proof of vaccination and flea and tick prevention.

“Thank you!”

About: I’m a compassionate, responsible, and animal-loving person with years of experience caring for children, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and reliability. I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree in social work, where I continue to build strong communication and empathy skills. I bring that same care and understanding to every pet I look after and treat each one like my own! I am currently getting my masters degree in clinical social work which prohibits me from getting a full time job, so I would love to fill the openness of my schedule with caring for animals! I love all animals! I grew up with dogs, and I currently have two cats who I adore. I offer compassionate care and value safety of your animals as a top priority!

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life family and friends pets and enjoy playing and taking care of them when needed love dogs of all sizes I’m currently working full time but love animals and helping with them where I can. Going on walks or just throwing a ball around I can do it all. Whether your fur baby likes to lounge around or be active I enjoy both and with 3 children at home keeping track and cleaning up after them is a regular past time of mine.

“Melissa was fantastic. She came by for a meet and great to get all the instructions of our animals who are a little "exta". My dog loved her. He was texting me our whole trip how nice Melissa was. High suggested !”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, cows etc since I was little. I worked at the Crivitz Countryside Veterinary Clinic for 5 years right out of high school. I want to help others with their pets needs just as I would want the help in return. I live in Shawano, but work in Howard/Green Bay Mon-Friday. I’m able to take care of pet needs in either location, anywhere in between, or slightly past those points! 😊❤️ On weekends I have more availability to do multiple drop in visits and more frequent dog walks. Daycare/Boarding is convenient for nonstop snuggles, chit chats, fetch, walks, treats, and a watchful eye on your fur babies. 10 acres with a pond/river wooded backyard. I have one dog who is high energy, but independent enough to do her own thing. She loves to play fetch, walk the trails in the woods, and car rides. I will always introduce my dog to yours through a baby gate, once they get smells/intro’s over with I like to have them meet outside for a potty break, this method takes the protective instincts away. Guards come down. A little trick I learned from working at the Vet Clinic that hasn’t let me down yet. I can keep them separate from one another also if you wish/request. Though my dog is a fixed/spayed female. I have a split level 4 bedroom house that allows a lot of space in the two living room areas in case your pet prefers their own space to eat/protective. I live 8 min from the Shawano dog park and less than 5 min from the dog beach.

“Jenna is absolutely wonderful. This was our first time ever using a app like this before so it was very scary for us but Jenna helped us through it. Sent us daily pictures and updates and made us feel comfortable will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

About: I had a dog who passed away at the age of 14 which was my best friend. I dog sit animals of family friends every so often when they go on vacations. Pet care fits in very well with my schedule. I’m looking for newer opportunities and try different things out to see what I enjoy doing. In my home we have an open yard in the country where my dogs are free to roam and do as they please. I’m willing to do what is needed to help your pets. I work a full time job during the week working 8 to 4. I do have days off almost every week. My weekends are almost completely free so they can be booked any time of the day on any weekend! At my home we have an open yard in the country out neighbors are a field away on both sides. We let my pups free roam but they know where their boundaries are. Willing to crate fur babies if necessary or do whatever to make a pet parent comfortable.

“Our dog had the best time with Sasha this week. She kept him busy, engaged, and entertained each visit. The daily reports were very detailed and enjoyable to read with plenty of pictures to view, which were always the highlight of my day. Sasha is very reliable, caring, conscientious, and easy to communicate with. I know my dog is already looking forward to another visit!”

About: I have worked with numerous animals since I was 5 years old. I have owned chickens, rabbits, horses, dogs, and cats my entire life. I am a 4-H leader where I teach children how to train dogs and I help them show and prepare their animals at fair. I also show my own animals at the fair. Additionally, I have pet sat for numerous family members over the years as well as friends. I will always be there for your pet and I will make sure they are well taken care of and loved just like they are my own. I am a teacher who is currently on summer break. So my schedule is pretty open during the summer and I have a lot of availability. During the school year, most of my weekends are free as well as when we have breaks. I am flexible and willing to make things work for you! I live on a little hobby farm with my husband. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats who are very friendly. I have everything needed in my home to take care of a dog including a kennel if needed as well as tie outs. We have a lake that is 5 minutes from our house and if your dog loves to swim, I would be happy to take them. I take my dogs all over in the summer and I would make sure your pet gets a lot of attention and exercise as well. Additionally, we have a huge barn and fenced in pasture as well as rabbit hutches in the barn and a chicken coop! Whatever animal you have they can be comfortable at my property. Additionally, if you feel better about your animal staying at home, I am happy to accommodate to that as well.

About: I’m a former pet parent with over 20 years of experience raising rescues. I am missing the energy of dogs and cats and am here to give back to the community as an experienced caregiver. Experience with dogs of all ages and breeds and also cats. I currently work a part time schedule that allows for a lot of time for your pet. Also available for overnights in your home depending on the distance and availability. I keep a very clean home and a tidy yard for your pet. Crates are always welcome. I do not have a fenced in yard, but it sits up against a nice ravine. Happy to let roam in the yard on a rooted line or walk on the path to Peabody park.

About: My husband and I have been watching dogs in our home for over 10 years. Our busy lives of work and family have always held us back from owning our own dog. To satisfy our love for dogs we started watching our friends and families dogs and over the years thru word of mouth we have started getting phone calls asking if we would take on more dogs and then joined Rover. We have experience with small to large dogs, dogs with special dietary needs, dogs that need to be able to run, dogs that want to sit on your lap, to dogs that have medical needs. We believe that dogs should be treated as part of the family. We allow them to sit on furniture, sleep in bed etc.. Our jobs have afford us the ability to be able to adjust our schedules to be flexible and have the option to work from home when we have a dog staying with us. This allows us to be home with your dog to ensure they are getting plenty of play time, outside time and lots of attention. It is very rare that your dog will be home alone for a period of time. Our home is your dogs home... we give the dogs full access to the house. We are non smokers and do not have any pets of our own or small children. We walk the dogs twice a day and have an acre of land that dogs are free to roam, run and play -we like to play ball and tug a rope. We do provide a ground stake with a leash for those that like to run "free". We have ability to work from home and have very flexible schedules when needed. Which in turn allows us to very rarely leave your dog home alone We treat the dogs just as if they were our very own pet.. as part of the family. They have free range of the house .. on the furniture and beds.
