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.

About: I can walk, doggy-sit during evenings and weekends. Prior military knows how difficult it is to trust others to care for your dog. Always a concern of mine when I had to go away for any period of time and so am empathetic to that type of worry and concerns. I can also offer overnights, my home or yours, and negotiable for longer periods. I grew up with dogs so am not intimidated by even the large types, but will need to overnight at your home if the dog is over 40lbs. I have a small female franchie that loves other dogs, cats and people. I work from home most days so can have your dog at my place while you work or are out. My frenchie goes out every 4-5 hours, working from home makes that more convenient. If your dog needs to go out more often it is no problem. My dog is also not allowed to have food constantly, she is fed 3 times a day and sometimes a treat or two, mainly to control her allergies. I have an apartment, the bedroom has carpet but the rest of the apartment does not so I keep my frenchie out of bedroom due to her allergies. If you have a dog with allergies I am familiar with medications and anything else you might need. I have 6 years of experience specific to the bully breed and 10 years or more with other breeds. I prefer that you can drop your dog off with me but can discuss if you need me to pick them up. I also can only take one animal at a time daily.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of working with dogs at every life stage—from the playful chaos of puppy training to the tender, attentive care our senior pups need. In my home, every pet is family. Whether it’s trusted neighborhood walks, cozy overnight stays, or just some much-needed belly rubs, I pour my heart and soul into making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and genuinely happy. I have extensive experience working with anxious dogs and understand the patience, calm energy, and trust it takes to help them feel at ease. I’m also fully comfortable administering medications—whether oral, topical, or injections—so your pet’s health routines are always safely maintained. I know how deeply our animals can comfort and connect with us—especially when we need them most. That’s why I care for every dog as if they were my own. Tail wags, happy hearts, and becoming your pet’s new best friend—that’s what I’m here for. Pet care fits beautifully into my life right now. I’m a 32-year-old single travel nurse currently between assignments, using this summer as a season of pause and purpose while I navigate my next adventure into entrepreneurship. With a flexible schedule and a heart deeply rooted at home, I’m able to be fully present for the animals in my care—because that’s exactly where I want to be. My entire world revolves around my sweet 12-year-old yellow lab, Missy. She’s my heart dog, my daily joy, and the reason I’ve come to cherish slow mornings, long walks, and quiet snuggles on the couch. Being home with her as much as I can is what matters most to me these days—and extending that same love and attention to your pet is something I don’t take lightly. Whether your pup needs a calm, reassuring presence or a new best friend for playtime and companionship, I’m here to show up with open arms (and probably a pocket full of treats). Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family—free to roam, curl up on the furniture, and enjoy all the belly rubs they can handle. We go on daily walks through the neighborhood, explore local trails, and make time for fun at nearby dog parks if they love to run and play. If I’m coming to your home, I’m happy to stick to your pet’s routine and respect any specific instructions you have—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, calming routines, or even helping with small errands or tasks while you’re away. I aim to create a calm, trusted environment wherever I am, so your pet feels safe, seen, and loved.

This is our second time using the Rover app and Nadia. We feel very comfortable with her and so does our pup Nora. We enjoy seeing the pictures and the detailed, how many walks, eat/drink, pee/poop ect. All of the information we get back is so reassuring that Nora is getting taken care of the way we would want. Nadia is excellent at communicating with us and happy she is super flexible with our drop off pick up times. We look forward to having Nadia care for Nora again soon😊

About: Hi Hi! I'm a former vet tech with 20 plus years of experience training and caring for pets! Day outings, overnights or drop-ins are all in my skill set! 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. 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: 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 grown up around dogs and taken care of them my whole life, I have experience caring for all kinds, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. As a recently retired college athlete, I’m always up for long walks, runs, or playtime to help your dog burn off some energy. I’m patient, responsible, and good at understanding dog body language to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. Whatever your furry friend needs, I’ve got it covered! My mornings and early afternoons are usually flexible, making them perfect for walks, drop-ins, or daytime care. I’m reliable, communicative, and always plan ahead to make sure your dog’s needs are a top priority. I can also accommodate evening check-ins or weekend stays depending on your schedule! When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and routine with total respect, like it’s my own. I make sure your dog feels safe and secure by sticking to their usual schedule, giving them plenty of attention, and keeping a close eye on their behavior and well being. I always double check leashes, gates, and doors to ensure your pet stays safe, whether we’re out for a walk or relaxing inside. Communication is a big deal to me, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and pictures so you know your pup is in good hands.

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 can walk, doggy-sit during evenings and weekends. Prior military knows how difficult it is to trust others to care for your dog. Always a concern of mine when I had to go away for any period of time and so am empathetic to that type of worry and concerns. I can also offer overnights, my home or yours, and negotiable for longer periods. I grew up with dogs so am not intimidated by even the large types, but will need to overnight at your home if the dog is over 40lbs. I have a small female franchie that loves other dogs, cats and people. I work from home most days so can have your dog at my place while you work or are out. My frenchie goes out every 4-5 hours, working from home makes that more convenient. If your dog needs to go out more often it is no problem. My dog is also not allowed to have food constantly, she is fed 3 times a day and sometimes a treat or two, mainly to control her allergies. I have an apartment, the bedroom has carpet but the rest of the apartment does not so I keep my frenchie out of bedroom due to her allergies. If you have a dog with allergies I am familiar with medications and anything else you might need. I have 6 years of experience specific to the bully breed and 10 years or more with other breeds. I prefer that you can drop your dog off with me but can discuss if you need me to pick them up. I also can only take one animal at a time daily.
