House Sitting in Shullsburg

“Alisha took wonderful care of our precious girls (a cat & a dog - little girls who are rather high maintenance 😊), and our home. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and she provides excellent care! We will definitely be utilizing Alisha's services in the future when we plan trips away from home!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats. As an adult, I’ve always had cats and other critters. My animals tend to live very long, loving lives. I have summers off, so I have quite a bit of availability part of the year. I’m an early riser, so can do mornings easily. Most evenings I’m available for care, walks or feedings. We live on a highway, so our animals have always been inside. The cats usually have free rein of the house and our enclosed deck is sometimes a place they like to be.

“Meg did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Lux, at my venue on my wedding day. She was great to work with and very responsive throughout the entire process. She even took some cute photos of him in his wedding attire! From the moment I met her, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry about a thing. Meg went above and beyond, and I truly could not recommend her enough!”

“This was the second time Ivy watched our dog Stanley for us while we were out of town. She once again did an awesome job. She gave him his meds, walked him when weather permitted and gave him lots of cuddles. She sent daily pictures so that we knew all was well. She also kept a close eye on our house and alerted us to a bird mite infestation by our front door that may have gone unnoticed for quite a while as we don’t regularly use that door. If you choose Ivy to care for your fur babies, you can relax knowing she will give them quality care and attention.”

“Heather was amazing! She got here when she said, stayed later to wait for me. She sent constant updates with photos. She went above and beyond for my pups buying them treats at the farmers market. Most importantly they loved her. ?”

About: I have cared for (and been cared for myself by) animals of every shape, size, personality, and level of care. I’m currently working retail on Main Street in Galena. Days off are Monday-Wednesday, and I will be available for check-ins or overnight stays any other day as well with notice (generally work 6-8 hr shifts) I am a respectful guest in your animal’s home, and will make sure to follow instructions and ask for clarification about their personal rituals and routines. I’m picky about my boys and their care when leaving them with a “stranger”- so you don’t have to feel crazy if you need constant check-ins (I GET IT, and I also take excellent photos 😊). I will likely ask many questions to ensure everyone’s as comfortable as possible. I know my boys turn into nervous wrecks when they sense I’m packing- and so do I!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Family and friends have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages! I’m currently working part-time as a cashier. So I would be available most nights and Saturdays. I am always looking forwarded to hanging out with furry friends. I respect all clients homes and you won’t even tell I was there. I care for our furry friend and clean up after them and myself!

“Nora did a wonderful job housesitting with our dog. She sent updates and pictures to us daily. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog. Appreciate Nora’s professionalism! She was great!”

About: I’ve constantly been surrounded by all kinds of animals throughout my life. I especially love cats as I have 2 of my own but will spread the love to even reptiles! My past experience includes years of dog sitting for a family friend, for stays up to 2 weeks long. The dogs were also older so I had to accommodate their needs as well. I walked, fed, pet, and played with them all while maintaining as similar of a schedule that I could for their comfort. I am unemployed until the summer, when I will be working full-time, so I’m constantly home! My cats are fed around the clock three different times so I’m here for that. I just go to classes for a few hours in the middle of the day and come right home. I am a student who lives in a 2 bedroom apartment with my boyfriend so we have a spare room to cater towards your fur baby in our space. For client’s homes, I always follow instructions given to provide the utmost comfort and familiarity for your pet.

“HIRE CHRIS. I won the lottery with him. It was my first time using Rover. I have a special needs rabbit who needed a caretaker after a rabbit boarding service was no longer available. I messaged several sitters and Chris was the first to respond. He is responsive and communicative. What I absolutely love about Chris, among many things, is that he asks questions. Not in a "what do I do" kind of way. Rather, "how do I do this to make sure it's done correctly". My special needs rabbit is on a specialized diet. I left Chris with instructions, which he followed to a tee, but he also sent a photo of the food. (My rabbit is feed very soft, watered down pellets and Critical Care due to recent dental surgery). I'm happy that he did because my rabbit can't chew on pellets. He sent lots of photos of Moo, too. Chris was also flexible with the initial meet 'n' greet appointment and visiting my landlord's office to pick up my front door key (which has to be loaned out). One of the reasons I chose Chris was his close proximity to my apartment. I will 5000% hire Chris again for my rabbit sitting needs. He took great care of my very special needs rabbit and Moo liked him too! I recommend him for your pet sitting needs, including small mammals!”

“Taylor did a great job house sitting for us and we will definitely re-book with her! It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was there with the dogs. She was so detailed oriented and made sure everything was as we asked.”

About: I recently lost my soul dog, Wilson. He was a 14 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He is in the picture with me. I have a second Cavalier named Auggie. I worked with Wilson to become a certified therapy dog. He retired when he was 10. When he was around 9 he became deaf. Therefore, I have years of experience with a deaf dog. I have experience with dogs from puppy through old age. My grown children also have dogs. I have included some of those dogs in the pictures. We have a bulldog, a golden retriever, a boxer, a lab, and several mixed breed rescues in our family! I have decided to offer my services on Rover to help fill a void after losing my beloved Wilson. I look forward to loving your dog as my own! I work full-time but am home on weekends and have extended breaks in my work when I am home. My home is set up for animals but I am also willing to provide services in your home. For care in my home, I have a large yard in a park-like setting. My house is set up for pets with limited carpet, doggie steps to lay on a comfy couch, windows to watch squirrels and keep an eye on the mailman. I am also available to love your pets in your home.

“Whitney did a great job watching our dog and cat this past weekend. Both pets were happy and the house was in great shape! I would highly recommend Whitney! -Jenni”
