“Carrieanne took great care of our Duke. Our boy is a herding dog can can sometimes be stubborn and a bit difficult, Carrieanne knew how to interact and handle him like a pro!”


“Did a wonderful job! Thorough and flexible! Was there to let our dogs out but was friendly with our cats too! All our dogs loved having him over!”


“Ilene was great! We have a foster cat in quarantine with an infection and wanted someone to spend time with him while we were out of town. Ilene was able to give him some quality time and attention, he was a happy camper. The updates we got were good and the photos were perfect. Thank you!”


“Marilia has looked after my kitty several times now, and she always does a great job. I appreciate that she patiently tries hard to make friends with her, even though those overtures are typically rebuffed by the aloof kitty!”


“Excellent experience as always, Becky takes such good care of our two older kitties whenever we're out of town! They had new meds this time and she made sure they got the right doses. She gives them the individual care they both need. 😊 She even offered to bring in our mail and packages!”


“Kim was absolutely amazing with my dog. I needed a few drop in visits while I was out of town. She took the time to ensure he had everything he needed & was comfortable while I was away. She's great at communication and I didn't have to worry about a thing.”


“Rhonda saved the day with a last minute service. She solved problems (getting in to our place) and went above and beyond to care for our two pups. We are very grateful for her flexibility and good care. Will definitely ask for her again!”


“Camila was terrific with our puppy! Gave detailed notes and great communication.”


“This was our first time using Rover. We would definitely have Becky take care of our cats again. She did a wonderful job of communicating with us and took great care of the cats while we were gone. Thanks Becky for a job well done!”


“Alyssa was responsive and took excellent care of my cat with attention to detail and his unique needs.”

“We had a great experience with Danny. He was patient with our rescue cats and very communicative throughout. Lots of photos and video which we really appreciated. We would gladly use his services again!”


About: I have been passionate about animals, big and small, my entire life! I have volunteered at humane societies, fostered animals in need, cared for the pets of family members and friends, interned at AZA-accredited zoos, and worked at wildlife sanctuaries. Currently I am a full-time licensed wildlife rehabilitator caring for injured and orphaned Wisconsin wildlife with the goal of releasing them back into the wild, but I have previously worked with a variety of domestic animals both in my personal and in my professional life. I am well versed in animal behavior, body language, and positive reinforcement. I promise to treat (and spoil) your pets like they are my own! At the moment I have 3 sweet cats, a high-energy dog, a mischievous chinchilla, and a gentleman of a ball python! Please do not hesitate to reach out and get to know me more! I currently work 4 days of the week at my full time job so I am only available select days. I am eager to spend time with your pets, however, so if my schedule shows I am unavailable, please reach out anyway as I try to be as flexible as possible! It is extremely important to me to use Fear Free tactics when interacting with any animal. Gaining the trust of you and your pet are my top priority!

“Stephen and Amelie are the best! They take excellent care of our babies and our home when we’re away and make us feel completely comfortable when we need to travel without the pups. Our dogs love them too!”


“Great communication, very easy to work with!”


About: I have been house sitting and walking dogs of all shapes and sizes for 7 plus years now. I love dogs and want to make sure they get the love, care, and exercise they need! I have a fairly flexible schedule. I usually don’t start work until later in the day, so I am able to help get your dog moving in the morning and early afternoon. There is no better way to get your day started than with a good walk. My husband and I do work outside of the house, so we do best with pets that are okay being alone for a little bit. I make sure that all dogs I walk are on a leash and held firmly. I also make sure to stay on sidewalks and walking paths to avoid being close to the road as much as I can.

About: i’ve walked dogs for two years in high school and grew up in a family with a lot of dogs. Over the summer I babysat my extended families dogs and I babysat up to 6 dogs at a time. I’m home for a limited time before I go back to college but during the week and afternoons on the weekend I’m pretty much free until i leave on January 7th all of my pets were trained by learning and teaching with a reward system as opposed to discipline or any physical action taken against the animal. When I work for you, your rules become my rules when I’m taking care of your pet and entering your home.


“A life saver! She was very responsive and flexible. I will book with her again in the future. (:”


“Jeff is very conscientious and even has studied the commands we use with our year old puppy. He anticipates issues and asks about them ahead of time. Jeff stays in touch during his visits, making me feel very confident that my pup is in good hands.”



“Auria was a competent, caring, and thoughtful dog sitter. She sent us numerous pictures and detailed updates as to how Lily was doing. I would highly recommend her and have already booked another stay! We truly felt as though Lily was in excellent hands.”
