I would highly recommend Ty for all dogs, big and small. Milo is a small dog who has high anxiety and Ty did everything he could to make him feel at home. It took a few days but I think Milo was finally feeling at home. I would confidently bring him back in Ty’s care. Thanks, Ty!

Kirsten and Kaleb have our Holly amazing care while we were gone for almost two weeks. They sent pictures every day and were so flexible with what we needed, even offering to keep Holly am extra day when we weren't sure we would get back on time. Holly doesn't always get along with other dogs but she loved their dog, Beau!

Jenny was phenomenal. She’s very flexible on times of pick up and drop off. She sent multiple pictures of Wiley having fun running around and playing. He was more energetic on pick up and even seemed as if he wished to stay longer. Both of her dogs were playful and accepted Wiley into their home with out any issues. Both Wiley and I are extremely pleased with this experience, and can’t wait until the next time Jenny can watch him again when I need to be out of town.

About: I’ve pet sit for many friends and many different animals. I am reliable to feed, walk, and potty your animals. I’m comfortable around all animals. I’ve grown up having pets and adore all pets. I am available most days for intermittent care for pets during the week. My work schedule is consistent, 9:30-630 Monday-Friday during the summer and 12-6:30 during the school year. I am a student at UWL so I have classes but normally am able to create a schedule with you around them fairly easy. I have grown up with a very active family because we have always had very active dog breeds, I love taking them for walks/runs and would love to do the same for your pet. I have no problems staying in and playing with toys as well if that’s what your pet prefers. I also have grown up with cats and am willing to care for them as well.

About: I joined Rover to help feed my love of multiple dogs! Since I travel occasionally, managing one dog full-time is enough for me. However, I grew up with 3 to 4 dogs on average. Choose me and your dog will have all the love and attention! I’m in my 30’s and work from home remotely M-F. I volunteer at multiple rescues, so have recent experience with different dog sizes and breeds. When I was younger, I use to be an AKC Junior Handler in dog shows. My personal dog experience ranges from Papillons, Lab/Golden Retriever mixes, Goldendoodles, and a Doberman. I’ve also owned multiple cats growing up, so are also available for feline drop-ins. I even have experience with tiger cubs! I spend a lot of time with my dog and will give your dog the same attention. I am available for walks, drop ins and overnights. I currently work remotely from home so have a pretty open schedule to come take care of your pup at your home or housesit during the week. I take care of your pets at your home so safety is not an issue. This gives my customers an ease of mind that their animal is in it’s normal environment.

About: Between jobs. Looking for a productive/enjoyable way to fill my time. I’ve had small dogs, giant dogs and every size in between. I’ve successfully leash trained several dogs and am happy to impart my skills on them, if you’d like. I’m a single mom who typically travels for work. I am, however, currently between jobs, and looking for my next contract. Making me available 8am-4:30pm. All care would need to be in your home. If crated, I can clean/change crate bedding, clean water and feed if needed. I can exercise your pet through play or a 30 min walk. I’d be happy to work on basic obedient skills as well.

This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous but my overall experience was positive with AJ. We have a 1 year old mixed breed dog that is very playful and happy around pretty much everyone. We met in a park near AJ’s home and he was promptly on time and communicated well. I asked several questions about the plan for the day and everything seemed reasonable to me. For me personally I just wanted someone that would keep my dog active and happy for the afternoon, also sneak in the occasional nap is okay too. When the day was over we met in the park again and (on time) and my dog was happy to see me. Thumbs up!

About: I have always been an avid animal-lover. From childhood into adulthood, I have owned and cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds & fish. My family & I currently share our home with two dogs, a bearded dragon, a Russian tortoise, & a ball python. I have several years of professional work experience in animal care (zoo, kennel care, walking, basic grooming) and wildlife / parks & recreation—both of which are relevant. I enjoy the outdoors and keeping all of our furry (& scaly) friends happy. I will board dogs, small mammals, reptiles & birds in my home! Upon request, I can do drop-in visits for cats or exotic animals within a 15 mile radius. I am currently a stay-at-home mom & so my schedule allows me to be at home majority of the time. If I need to leave the house, it’s never for more than a couple of hours. I have a large four-story home, which provides amble space for pets to play or to be separated if need be. I utilize crates for dogs who need or prefer it. Our yard is unfenced, so I use slip leads and tie-out cables for potty time.

About: I have a dog of my own now and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet! I stay active and go on daily walks (sometimes twice a day), so your dog will get plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I also have two cats, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats and their different needs. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like my own—whether that’s going for walks, playtime, or just giving them love and attention while you’re away. I have a full time job that is very flexible. I go on walks in the middle of the day lots of times, and am also free some mornings and evenings. I care for pets based on each owner’s preferences and routines to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I’m experienced with leash walks, playtime, and outings like the dog park if approved. Safety is always my priority, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and needs. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a fur baby of my own that is glad to keep yours company if needed as well!

About: I've taken care of animals my whole life. Growing up my family had a small hobby farm where we cared for many animals. Since moving out I have owned and helped train multiple working dogs, including the pointer I have now. I have no problem administering medications if needed. I already walk my multiple times a day so your dog will get plenty of exercise. My girlfriend works from home and I have a flexible work schedule so we are available any time you may need. Your dog will always have someone around if they like constant attention! I live in a house with a large, mostly fenced in backyard. My dog has never met someone he doesn't love, and will run/play until he can't stand anymore! Plenty of room for exercise and play!

I can administer insulin and other medications. Minor training experience in a professional setting. Can handle puppies to seniors. I will have plenty of time to devote to your pets, who really are our children. I am home a majority of the time with my own pets.

About: I have always had pets in my home my whole life both dogs and cats I am more of a dog person but I absolutely love caring for all animals and I know how difficult it can be depending on the animal my parents most recent dog was a handful he was in and out of several homes before finding his way to ours because of he’s very energetic and sometimes violent behavior but we turned him to a sweetie with time and good training. At first he was rather aggressive towards me and was very difficult to train because of how long he had gone without training which taught me a lot of tricks to deal with a difficult and aggressive dog. I love this job and I hope your pet will enjoy my company as much as I’ll enjoy theirs. I have bathed dogs helped bathe a cat with flees and I’m down to learn anything if you’ll help show me. I do this full time so I am usually always free to offer the most reliable and consistent pet care experience for your pet and I’m always available unless I’m watching other pets. I’d love to do repeat visits to build a better relationship with you and your pet. I do the absolute best of my ability to ensure that your dog feels safe and happy when with me and I hope after meeting me you’re pet is excited to see me again.

I mainly live in Jackson Hole, WYoming but I own my own home here in Winona. I am here some parts of the year and I would love to open up my schedule to dog care! I am very flexible during the day. I'm a photographer and most of my shoots are in the afternoons or early evening. I can do outings in the morning and afternoon to satisfy all of the physical demands of the doggos! I hit the trails almost every day so I can take them with me for a run/walk :) I also have access to 40 acres of wooded hills that I can take the pups too! The safety of your pet is #1! I am a former vet tech and have a great knowledge of dog care and health. I can administer medications- no problem! If am coming to let your pet out of your house, I can walk in the neighborhood or have a play session in the yard. If your pet is at my home, I have a big, fully fenced yard and I live right across from East Lake Winona, the dog friendly lake :) I am very aware of every situation I take your dog into and can address needs or concerns ASAP. I treat every dog I watch as one of my own :)

About: Hello! My name is Kjelsey, pronounced as Chelsea. I’ve had a variety of pets my whole life - cats, fish, snails, mice, a bunny, jumping spiders, and dogs. I've been a volunteer at the La Crescent Animal Shelter and the Winona Area Humane Society. I love going for walks and hikes with my dog Gunner and my husband, Eric. I’d love to play, walk, chill and relax or engage with your pets. Let me know if your pet is active, learning new tricks, loves playing tug or wants to snuggle, I’m your girl! I’ll treat your fur babies as one of my own. I can’t wait to hear from you and your furry friends! I currently work full time. I’m happy to help and meet you and your fur babies after work! There may be days I can help your pets if I have days off too! I always take notes when I meet you and your pets. I will follow your rules and guidelines and give lots of love to your fur babies!

About: Between jobs. Looking for a productive/enjoyable way to fill my time. I’ve had small dogs, giant dogs and every size in between. I’ve successfully leash trained several dogs and am happy to impart my skills on them, if you’d like. I’m a single mom who typically travels for work. I am, however, currently between jobs, and looking for my next contract. Making me available 8am-4:30pm. All care would need to be in your home. If crated, I can clean/change crate bedding, clean water and feed if needed. I can exercise your pet through play or a 30 min walk. I’d be happy to work on basic obedient skills as well.

I would highly recommend Ty for all dogs, big and small. Milo is a small dog who has high anxiety and Ty did everything he could to make him feel at home. It took a few days but I think Milo was finally feeling at home. I would confidently bring him back in Ty’s care. Thanks, Ty!

Kirsten and Kaleb have our Holly amazing care while we were gone for almost two weeks. They sent pictures every day and were so flexible with what we needed, even offering to keep Holly am extra day when we weren't sure we would get back on time. Holly doesn't always get along with other dogs but she loved their dog, Beau!

About: I’ve pet sit for many friends and many different animals. I am reliable to feed, walk, and potty your animals. I’m comfortable around all animals. I’ve grown up having pets and adore all pets. I am available most days for intermittent care for pets during the week. My work schedule is consistent, 9:30-630 Monday-Friday during the summer and 12-6:30 during the school year. I am a student at UWL so I have classes but normally am able to create a schedule with you around them fairly easy. I have grown up with a very active family because we have always had very active dog breeds, I love taking them for walks/runs and would love to do the same for your pet. I have no problems staying in and playing with toys as well if that’s what your pet prefers. I also have grown up with cats and am willing to care for them as well.

Couldn’t recommend Erica and Ciara enough!! It was my first time boarding my dog and was really anxious about it. They were great with keeping me updated and sending pics, and also very patient with my dog, who was very worked up since it was her first time away from home. I am so thankful for the care they provided!!

About: I have always been an avid animal-lover. From childhood into adulthood, I have owned and cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds & fish. My family & I currently share our home with two dogs, a bearded dragon, a Russian tortoise, & a ball python. I have several years of professional work experience in animal care (zoo, kennel care, walking, basic grooming) and wildlife / parks & recreation—both of which are relevant. I enjoy the outdoors and keeping all of our furry (& scaly) friends happy. I will board dogs, small mammals, reptiles & birds in my home! Upon request, I can do drop-in visits for cats or exotic animals within a 15 mile radius. I am currently a stay-at-home mom & so my schedule allows me to be at home majority of the time. If I need to leave the house, it’s never for more than a couple of hours. I have a large four-story home, which provides amble space for pets to play or to be separated if need be. I utilize crates for dogs who need or prefer it. Our yard is unfenced, so I use slip leads and tie-out cables for potty time.
