“Ty was great! We have always left our dogs at home with family caring for them. It was the first stay for our dogs Ollie & Izzy. Ollie fit in right away but Izzy had some separation anxiety at first. Ty was great with her and gave us daily updates, pictures, & videos. So glad to have found someone like Ty to watch our fur babies. Now we are looking forward to our next trip knowing our dogs are well taken care of. Thanks Ty!”
“Laura took wonderful care of our Moose! She went above and beyond what I had hoped for. He got to sleep with her kids, play with her dogs, go for walks, and I received lots of pictures and updates. I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!! She also wrote up a little summary of his stay at the end, noting some of my dog’s behaviors that I will be addressing with a dog trainer, which I hadn’t observed before and was glad to know about! I appreciate Laura and her family very much.”
“Our 3 boys enjoyed staying with Jenny and her pups. She took great care of them and loved the pictures and updates she sent. She is super easy to work with and boy oh boy, we're our guys tired when they got home. They had such a great time playing with Jenny and her pups. Highly recommend! We already have future dates booked with her!”
“10/10 ! Experience was overall great ! Communication was great and She responded so fast while I was out of town trying to find a sitter . Her family was so welcoming and friendly! Me and my boyfriend knew our 10 mo puppy was in great hands. It was a great choice! Definitely will be my go to when I need a sitter !! Thanks so much again !”
“Susan was the perfect sitter for my Shiba Inu! She took good care of him, took him on multiple walks, and even baked him dog treats! Plus she’s a delightful person who’s easy to coordinate with. I can’t recommend her highly enough!!!”
“Rebekah took wonderful care of our senior dog. Gave him lots of fun and love and her home has a great set up for dogs. She was great about communication and following feeding and meds instructions. It was wonderful to enjoy our weekend knowing our Sven was in such caring, capable hands.”
“Erica did a wonderful job taking care of Lily. I received updates, questions, pictures, videos, and texts about cute & funny things she did. I could tell Erica was caring towards Lily and enjoyed being with her. I will definitely call on her again”

“Karlie took great care of my pup during his stay. He got along well with her dog as well. They got a lot of both play and nap time together! He also came home with a cute bandana! (Thanks again for that). She is responsive, kind and truly loves to care for animals.”
About: Hello! I’m Laura, and I’m so excited to welcome your four-legged family member into my heart and home. Having grown up with dogs and raised three of my own beloved pups through to their golden years, I know firsthand that dogs aren't just pets—they are cherished family members. Now that my home is a bit quieter, I have a wealth of love, patience, and attention to share with your dog while you are away. Why Choose Me? Lifetime of Experience: I have over 40 years of experience living with and caring for dogs. Senior Dog Care: Having loved three dogs through their entire lives, I am highly comfortable with senior care, gentle pacing, and keeping strict medication and feeding schedules. A Safe, Loving Environment: Your dog will get my full attention, plenty of belly rubs, and a calm, reliable routine that mirrors the comfort they have at home. Whether your pup is an energetic walker or a professional couch cuddler, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend and give you peace of mind knowing they are in safe, loving hands! My daily and weekly schedule is very consistent, which makes it easy to provide a reliable, stress-free routine for your dog. During the week, my schedule allows me to easily plan my day around a dog's needs. I am always home for dedicated morning, late afternoon, and evening care. Because my routine is highly structured, I can guarantee regular potty breaks, timely feedings, and medication administration on a strict schedule. My late afternoons, evenings, and weekends are wide open and entirely dedicated to pet care. Whether that means going for relaxed neighborhood walks, playing in the yard, or just offering quiet companionship on the couch, your dog will be a central part of my day. I treat guest dogs like family, fitting them seamlessly into a warm, attentive, and loving daily routine. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether a dog is staying with me or I am visiting them in their own home. Having raised three dogs of my own, I know how important a secure and predictable environment is for a pet's peace of mind. In My Home: I maintain a calm, dog-friendly, and completely smoke-free environment. Before any stay, I do a thorough safety sweep to ensure all hazards, cords, or human foods are securely out of reach. Dogs in my care are supervised closely, and I follow a strict double-check policy on all doors and gates when entering or exiting. In Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it secure, clean, and exactly as you left it. During visits or house sits, I stick closely to your security routines (locking doors, arming alarms) and ensure your dog is safely secured inside before I leave. My Care Philosophy: Tailored to the Dog: I strictly adhere to your specific rules regarding furniture, feeding schedules, and crate training to keep their routine seamless. On-Leash Safety: I always keep dogs securely on-leash during walks and remain highly alert to our surroundings and other animals. Constant Communication: I love sending daily photo updates so you can see firsthand how happy, relaxed, and safe your pup is!
“Janelle was an amazing rover. Incredibly attentive, kind, and you can tell she has such a warm heart and is a true dog lover. She gave us consistent updates about our pup (including pictures)! She and her husband even took our dog on a two mile walk since she knew we had a long drive back home. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: What sets me apart is my wide range of hands-on experience caring for pets with all kinds of needs, personalities, and ages. I’ve worked with young dogs, senior dogs, medium and large breeds, tiny dogs, blind cats, and multi-pet households—and I’m confident handling just about any situation. I’ve cared for 1–3 dogs at a time, 2–5 cats, and households with both dogs and cats together, making me comfortable managing different temperaments and routines at once. I’m also experienced with pets in heat, pets requiring extra patience, and animals who need gentle guidance or special attention. Above all, I’m calm, responsible, and detail-oriented. I make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and loved—whether it’s through slow introductions, careful monitoring, maintaining routines, or giving them the extra comfort they need. I am currently enrolled in college at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. I have access to a car, so I have the ability to travel to get to jobs. I have frequent breaks throughout my days and nights, and weekends are open. I also have the ability to stay overnight if needed or desired. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and currently have two cats and two dogs back home, so I’m very comfortable providing consistent, loving, and attentive care. I also participate in the Doggy Day Out program through the Coulee Region Humane Society, which has given me hands-on experience with dogs of many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. In addition, I frequently help care for friends’ cats, giving me experience with a variety of feline personalities and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routines so they feel safe and comfortable. This includes following feeding schedules, providing plenty of exercise, giving treats (if allowed), cleaning litter boxes, refreshing water, and offering lots of affection and companionship. I always make sure the home stays clean and secure, and I communicate regularly with updates and photos. My approach is calm, reliable, and detail-oriented—I make sure every pet feels cared for, understood, and stress-free while you’re away.

“Our Sweet Bella struggles with separation anxiety. We needed to find daycare for her while we were visiting family in La Crescent. Ty did an amazing job at working with her. He was flexible, patient, and did what he could to make her feel comfortable. He kept us informed with how she was doing and was prompt at responding to any messages.”
“Laura has a lovely home, dog heaven. We could tell right away that dogs were the Priority. Cooper just loved their fenced in yard because after we picked him up, he slept for hours exactly what a mini golden doodle puppy needs for all that energy. We highly recommend Laura for pet sitting!”
“Angela was excellent with my dog, Vaida! Vaida struggles adjusting to new surroundings, but Angela was a pro with her. Angela provided consistent communication & I was able to stay updated throughout the week. It was great to know Vaida was in good hands.”
“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: Current doggy daycare employee. I have owned animals all my life. Dogs have always been a passion of mine. I have recently been accepted to a dog trainer school to become a professional dog trainer. I am hoping to get to have as much experience with as many dogs as possible, to make me the best trainer possible. I am available anytime. I work part time from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. If you have any questions on my availability please ask. Thank you! I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I will follow all of the rules and guidelines you set for your animals feeding time and playtime. Plus I will make the experience for the animal as best as it can possibly be.
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience working with Laura. She was quick to respond and it was easy coordinating our visits with her. The updates she provided gave us peace of mind that our dog Jordy was in good hands for the day. We would definitely work with her again in the future! Jordy seemed happy to spend the day with her in her home.”

“This was the first time that we have left our puppies (9 months and 9 weeks). Erica and family treated them so well and sent pictures and videos. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our babies 😊”
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.
“Ciara was awesome! She took great care of our two big dogs for the day while we were busy touring a local cave. Ciara provided updates and photos showing her pup and ours playing nicely. Highly recommend letting Ciara watch your buddies too!”

I'm an active and aware professional photographer and personal trainer and I enjoy getting dogs out on the trails, socializing, training- you name it! 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.

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: Since I was a young girl I've cared for cats and dogs in various settings. I've volunteered at humane societies, I've worked as a Vet Tech, was a supervisor at a daycare/boarding facility. 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. I do not have a fenced in yard, I use a leash and walk my dog at least once a day, weather permitting. Potty breaks 2-4 hrs for my dog. I can travel as I have a 4wd vehicle. I will play and treat your pets as my own!
About: Growing up with a variety of animals really gave me the compassion and love I have for animals now. Also, it gave me the skill I need to be able to take care of and provide for the different species of animals there are out there. Mostly, it was dogs and cats but I do have experience in caring for hamsters and bunnies. I love to go walking/hiking just to be outside and getting fresh air so i have no problem going on walks. I’m completely comfortable with our furry friends being on my furniture, I know not everybody is but mi casa es su casa. I am a veterinarian technician with my A.A.S. degree and I plan to open up my own business one day whether it be a dog boarding place of my own or my very own shelter/rescue. Either way, this is my 5-10 year goal and his will help me achieve that. I work full time throughout the week. My evenings are available & so are most of my weekends. This month of August will be busy for me on the weekends though. I make sure they are comfortable & I treat them as if they are my own. I make sure they are happy while their person is gone.

About: I've taken care of a variety of dogs since I was very young. I grew up with labs and I am very comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I took care of my yellow lab/retriever mix, Blue, for so many years; taking her on long walks, giving her baths, making sure she got along with our neighbor dogs. I also helped out taking care of my neighbor dogs from time to time. After my dog died at the age of 15, my family didn't think we would get another dog. 7 years ago, we got a new puppy, his name is Brooks, and he is a yellow lab. He is very different than our old dog. He has lots of energy, he has ran away a couple times but always came back or we found him, and we lived on 2 acres of land so that helped. He is our first inside dog, so he loves cuddles, treats, sleeping, playing catch and sneaking downstairs where he is not supposed to be. I have lots of experience with dogs and I appreciate and love them very much! I am currently working at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse, so I have the summer off. This summer I also work part-time at Festival. During the school year, I have Fridays off and I am done by 5:30pm the other days. On Mondays and Wednesdays I have slower mornings. I can help out throughout the day and on weekends. I live in an apartment building but there is an area with lots of grass and next to the building and around the area. My building doesn’t allow pets so I am not able to house pets at my place, but I can always talk to my landlord.

About: I am an animal lover. I have had cats my whole life and dogs for about 20 years total. My "children" are my 3 cats and German Shepherd. I will treat your animal like my own. I do home visits, home stays, and walks. Don't put off your vacation because you don't want to leave your beloved animals. Let me take care of them! Thank you! - Samantha I am currently a remote freelance graphic designer and this allows me to set my own schedule and have flexibility. My husband and I do not currently have children so that also allows me to have a more open schedule without interruptions. I am not a person who has pets without considering their needs and happiness. I play with them, make sure they get medical care, medication, and make sure they feel safe and loved with cuddle time. I know that having a pet is a responsibility and a privilege.

“Ty was great! We have always left our dogs at home with family caring for them. It was the first stay for our dogs Ollie & Izzy. Ollie fit in right away but Izzy had some separation anxiety at first. Ty was great with her and gave us daily updates, pictures, & videos. So glad to have found someone like Ty to watch our fur babies. Now we are looking forward to our next trip knowing our dogs are well taken care of. Thanks Ty!”
“10/10 ! Experience was overall great ! Communication was great and She responded so fast while I was out of town trying to find a sitter . Her family was so welcoming and friendly! Me and my boyfriend knew our 10 mo puppy was in great hands. It was a great choice! Definitely will be my go to when I need a sitter !! Thanks so much again !”
“Susan was the perfect sitter for my Shiba Inu! She took good care of him, took him on multiple walks, and even baked him dog treats! Plus she’s a delightful person who’s easy to coordinate with. I can’t recommend her highly enough!!!”
“Rebekah took wonderful care of our senior dog. Gave him lots of fun and love and her home has a great set up for dogs. She was great about communication and following feeding and meds instructions. It was wonderful to enjoy our weekend knowing our Sven was in such caring, capable hands.”
“Erica did a wonderful job taking care of Lily. I received updates, questions, pictures, videos, and texts about cute & funny things she did. I could tell Erica was caring towards Lily and enjoyed being with her. I will definitely call on her again”
“Erica and Ciara were great!! Communicated very well. Even when we were busy and not always by the phone, pictures were great to look at when we did. Even when something came up, they let us know right away and we came up with a plan. Thank you for taking care of the boys!!”
“Karlie took great care of my pup during his stay. He got along well with her dog as well. They got a lot of both play and nap time together! He also came home with a cute bandana! (Thanks again for that). She is responsive, kind and truly loves to care for animals.”
“Janelle was an amazing rover. Incredibly attentive, kind, and you can tell she has such a warm heart and is a true dog lover. She gave us consistent updates about our pup (including pictures)! She and her husband even took our dog on a two mile walk since she knew we had a long drive back home. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: What sets me apart is my wide range of hands-on experience caring for pets with all kinds of needs, personalities, and ages. I’ve worked with young dogs, senior dogs, medium and large breeds, tiny dogs, blind cats, and multi-pet households—and I’m confident handling just about any situation. I’ve cared for 1–3 dogs at a time, 2–5 cats, and households with both dogs and cats together, making me comfortable managing different temperaments and routines at once. I’m also experienced with pets in heat, pets requiring extra patience, and animals who need gentle guidance or special attention. Above all, I’m calm, responsible, and detail-oriented. I make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and loved—whether it’s through slow introductions, careful monitoring, maintaining routines, or giving them the extra comfort they need. I am currently enrolled in college at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. I have access to a car, so I have the ability to travel to get to jobs. I have frequent breaks throughout my days and nights, and weekends are open. I also have the ability to stay overnight if needed or desired. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and currently have two cats and two dogs back home, so I’m very comfortable providing consistent, loving, and attentive care. I also participate in the Doggy Day Out program through the Coulee Region Humane Society, which has given me hands-on experience with dogs of many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. In addition, I frequently help care for friends’ cats, giving me experience with a variety of feline personalities and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routines so they feel safe and comfortable. This includes following feeding schedules, providing plenty of exercise, giving treats (if allowed), cleaning litter boxes, refreshing water, and offering lots of affection and companionship. I always make sure the home stays clean and secure, and I communicate regularly with updates and photos. My approach is calm, reliable, and detail-oriented—I make sure every pet feels cared for, understood, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old! I have stayed in home, dog walked and more! Contact me to help you! I have a very open schedule and very flexible times during the week and weekend. Let’s chat about days and times that work! Happy to help in any. When an animal needs let out, I go outside with them so nothing happens. I take full care of your pet and all my attention is given.
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.
“Monica was so great with our dog Finn while we were away for a weekend. She was super responsive and sent us pictures to keep us updated on how he was doing. Would highly recommend her!”
