“Ty was great with Theo. We met twice prior to boarding and Ty knew exactly how to introduce himself and his dogs to Theo. While Theo was staying with him, he communicated daily with texts, videos and pictures. Theo showed no signs of stress when I picked him up. I highly recommend Ty!”
“Our dog seemed happy and well-cared for. William is knowledgable about dog behavior. He also updated us a couple of times with messages and photos so we knew it was going well.”
“Once again Wiley was taken care of excellently. I had pictures throughout the days he was with Jenny and he always looks as if he’s having fun and enjoying the other dogs!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving both our dogs with Julie. She is a great communicator, considerate, and understanding of some family circumstances that unexpectedly came up. We will definitely use Julie again when we return to La Crosse. It's always a great feeling knowing our fur kids are safe, sound, and well cared for. Thanks so much, Julei!”
“Janelle and Chris are just the best! They love our pup as if he was their own and he always comes home happy, healthy, and in great spirits! I love that we’ve found someone who we trust to love our pup as much as we do while we are away! THANK YOU!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog Emmett with a sitter from Rover and I was very nervous. Ty's frequent professional communication leading up to Emmett's stay, along with excellent reviews from others in the community who know Ty (including his Coulee Region Humane Society volunteer supervisor) put my mind at ease. Then Emmett's initial "trial" morning with TY was a big success! Emmett enjoyed playing his favorite game of "popcorn throws" with Ty and getting lots of snuggles. Already have booked Emmett for a longer stay with Ty when I need to be out of town for work next month :) Thank you Ty!”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“Cash got lots of play time with the other dogs and seemed to really enjoy himself. Jamie had great communication with us and sent plenty of cute pics while we were away.”
“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!”
“Jasmyne was awesome! She watched my little girl overnight while I was in town for the eagles game. She updated me throughout the night with pictures and everything. Her dog Raven got along great with mine. Nova was very hesitant to eat in a new environment so Jasmyne even tried sitting with her on the floor to help ease her anxiety. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter in the area! Thank you so much Jasmyne!”

“Having Christine watch our little furbabys while we were gone was a blessing its the first time in 2 years we left them home alone and yet i know with Christine watching them they got lots of loving care, i loved the photos and video updates of our kitties.”
“Rhonda made our first experience with Rover a delight. I knew from the meet-and-greet that she would be a great caretaker for our two cats. Rhonda is very professional and pleasant. Each day, she would send photos to reassure me that the girls had food, water, and clean litter boxes. The next time we need a pet sitter, we hope that Rhonda will be available.”
“Linsie was great! Very communicative and thorough, and made sure to spend time with my two cats. As someone who was a Rover provider myself for a few years before this, I can say she ticked all the boxes!”
“Faith was fantastic with our two kitties! She always made sure that they had enough food and that their litter box was clean and swept up the litter on the floor. She always added the cutest photos of our kitties after every visit. Would absolutely book again!”
“We were so stressed about leaving our kitties for a long trip, but we really hit the jackpot when someone recommended Ajia to us. Lots of pictures and videos were shared with us, and we never worried about a thing! Highly recommend ❤️”
“Ashlyn did a wonderful job with checking in and taking care of our two cats! She was great with communication and gave us plenty of photos of our cats while we were gone.

About: My kitty is my baby so I will treat anyones cat with the same love! I've had cats my whole life and have had my baby, Shiloh, for 5 years. I'm very good playing with cats and thorough cleaning of their areas.
“Randy has been wonderful. Charly needed a true dog person who could read his body language and facial expressions. Randy was spot on and worked great with him from the start. He worked off of Charly's energy and let Charly come to him when he was ready. We had 3 meet and greets with a dog that has been historically difficult to find sitters for and now for the first time we have someone we feel really safe with.”
About: I’ve always loved cats and had a special bond with my cat, Peeka Boo, so I know how important it is to make cats feel comfortable, safe, and loved in their space. What sets me apart is my volunteer experience at the La Crescent animal shelter, where I help clean the isolation room. This has taught me how important it is to pay close attention to allergies, cleanliness, and shelter protocols to keep cats safe and healthy. It also means I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and being extra attentive to each cat’s needs. I know every cat has their own personality, whether they are playful, independent, or shy, and I’m happy to give them the patience and gentle care they deserve.

“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 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.”
“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!”
“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!”

“Gilman's experience with Erica was outstanding!! He has tons of energy and she knew how to keep him busy. He was showing some obnoxious behaviors when we got to her house. She was so understanding and just knew how to keep him busy and get him tired out. She shared photos with me through texting which allowed for reassurance on this first time experience for me. I highly recommend Erica and we will be visiting again! Thanks for everything Erica (and all)”
About: At one time, we were breeders of Champion Golden Retrievers, and have raised many a pup, from small to large breeds. From Bernese to Yorkies, we love them all! Our furbabies are a Shorkie and Shih Tzu who are well behaved and make great hosts and playmates! Large pastures and trails on which to walk, so lots of exercise. Our canine guests will receive lots of love and attention! They will be welcome in our house if well-behaved, and treated like one of the family during their stay. We have excellent references from previous guests and do our best to make sure our every guest feels right at home. We follow all care guides given by our guests owners, including giving meds and treats as owner provides us. I or my husband are home with our guest dogs during stays. Our guests get lots of attention and care. We want to care for them as they are used to being cared for at home. We walk 3-4 times a day or as often as match the home life of our guests. They are cared for in our home and integrated into being cared for as part of our family with 2 little welcoming fur babies.

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.

“Christine did a nice job walking Reo. She was on time and cataloged the whole event with lots of cute photos. Our dog seemed more contented with the amount of activity he received on a busy work day with the extra time outside with Christine.”
“Linsie is extremely professional and detail-oriented. Her text responses are also super quick and she was able to agree to walk my dog with short notice. I had no problem trusting her with my fur babes. Thank you! It was a wonderful experience.”
“Faith did an amazing job caring for my two dogs! From the moment we met, she was incredibly friendly, caring, and attentive to my pets. I was especially impressed with how detailed her Rover Card was—it really showed how much thought and care she put into keeping me updated. Her professionalism, work ethic, and genuine love for my dogs really stood out. When I’m back in La Crosse, I know exactly who I’ll be choosing to care for my dogs again”
About: Hello, I’m Ashlyn! If you were to ask anyone who knows me what I’m like, the first thing they would tell you is that I am animal OBSESSED! I have been surrounded by animals + cats alike my entire life. I currently own two big dogs (Pitbull +Aussie) + one small dog (Shih Tzu) and a cat! I strive to ensure your pet has the best experience possible while you are away. Coming from a pet parent myself I know the fear of leaving your bestfriend in someone else’s care can be a lot. That’s why I believe it is important to keep you in the loop for a stress-free time away, while also giving your animal plenty of enrichment and love to distract their worried mind while you are gone. I am experienced with a wide range of different kinds of dogs. From reactive, friendly, and anxious I have seen it all. I am more then willing to work through quirks your animal has in order to make their experience the best it can be! Some training skills I am well-versed in is leash training, socialization, basic manners, puppy care, senior care, and separation anxiety issues. I am so excited to meet your animal and give it the best experience possible! I currently work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Hours vary week to week. Let me know your preferred schedule and we can make it work! I am absolutely able to leave work (distance permitting) during my break to let your animal outside and let out some energy if needed! After work I am able to give your pet some exercise whether that is a walk or playing with some toys after work. For house-sitting/ drop ins- I am a firm believer that following a similar routine to what the owner (you) follows will give your pet the least stressful experience possible. I will stick to your potty schedule for your animal as well as feeding. As for exercise, I am up to whatever your dog or cat prefers! I can go for walks, play fetch, provide enrichment with feeding time or play with toys. I am always willing to go to nearby park with your pup if preferred! Whatever your pet loves and makes them feel the safest! For dog-walking, I am willing to walk however long your animal needs! Does your pet have a favorite route? Let me know and I will follow it! Any nearby trails or parks? I am always down to visit them with your pup if wanted! I have personal experience with leash-pulling and reactivity so as long as I am made aware of these things and have met your dog, I am more then willing to work through these things on our walk! I am big on taking my dogs and shelter dogs to parks or big areas to run or explore. If this is something you would be interested in, I could totally take your dog out for an hour to exercise them!

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets, big and small since I was about 11 years old. Are you looking for your dog/cat’s new best friend, I’m your girl! From long walks to playing fetch, and everything in between (bathing, feeding on time, bathroom time) I’m ready for it all! I’m not as familiar with caring for elderly pets or medication, but with a little instruction, I’m a fast learner! I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I’m mostly free the first half of the week (Monday to Wednesday) and weekends (Saturday and Sunday) at anytime, and Fridays after 3 pm.

About: I used to work at a doggy daycare and I worked with horses for about a year, so nothing scares me. I fostered a dog for a year until she found her forever home and now I have my own rescue. She is my whole world. I will treat your furbabies like my own because I know they are your whole world too. I work 2 part-time jobs with a lot of availibility/flexibilty. I typically work either midday or evening, but it changes daily. I would work well with a flexible schedule. We would go for many walks during the day. My dog loves to play so they can tire each other out. If comfortable with other dogs, we could visit the dog park.
About: I have over 13 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, from raising puppies into adulthood to understanding how their needs change throughout different stages of life. I’ve learned how important it is for dogs to have healthy outlets for their energy, plenty of attention, patience, exercise, and a routine that helps them feel happy and cared for. I currently have a dog of my own, Reese, who I love taking on walks and runs, as well as three cats with their own unique personalities. Having both dogs and cats has given me experience understanding the very different ways animals communicate, build trust, and show what they need. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, high-energy dogs, and pets who may still be learning their manners or training. I believe every animal deserves patience and the opportunity to feel safe, appreciated, and understood. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, playtime, companionship, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I want to provide the same level of care I would want for my own animals. 🐾 With a flexible part-time schedule and a love for walking my own dog on the daily, I enjoy sharing fun, fulfilling walks with other dogs too. I’ve always been an animal lover and happiest when I’m spending time outside! I have a dog of my own, Reese, who I love taking on walks, runs, and little adventures, along with three cats who each have completely different personalities. Growing up around animals has taught me that every pet is different and deserves patience, attention, affection, and plenty of time to just be themselves. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and finding what makes them happiest—whether that’s an energetic walk, some playtime, exploring outside, or simply having someone there to give them attention. I’m also completely comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and dogs who may still be working on their training or manners. I believe they deserve just as much patience and care while they’re learning! My goal is to give your pet a fun, positive experience while making sure they’re safe, cared for, and getting the attention they deserve. 🐾

I do drop in visits, house sitting, and dog walking. I would love to give your fur babies a bunch of affection and care. I’ll make sure to update you regularly with pictures so you know that your pets are in safe hands. Your pets safety is my top priority.

All rules for your animals will be applied when I am taking care of them. I understand how important routine is!

“Ty was great with Theo. We met twice prior to boarding and Ty knew exactly how to introduce himself and his dogs to Theo. While Theo was staying with him, he communicated daily with texts, videos and pictures. Theo showed no signs of stress when I picked him up. I highly recommend Ty!”
“Our dog seemed happy and well-cared for. William is knowledgable about dog behavior. He also updated us a couple of times with messages and photos so we knew it was going well.”
“We felt very comfortable leaving both our dogs with Julie. She is a great communicator, considerate, and understanding of some family circumstances that unexpectedly came up. We will definitely use Julie again when we return to La Crosse. It's always a great feeling knowing our fur kids are safe, sound, and well cared for. Thanks so much, Julei!”
“Janelle and Chris are just the best! They love our pup as if he was their own and he always comes home happy, healthy, and in great spirits! I love that we’ve found someone who we trust to love our pup as much as we do while we are away! THANK YOU!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog Emmett with a sitter from Rover and I was very nervous. Ty's frequent professional communication leading up to Emmett's stay, along with excellent reviews from others in the community who know Ty (including his Coulee Region Humane Society volunteer supervisor) put my mind at ease. Then Emmett's initial "trial" morning with TY was a big success! Emmett enjoyed playing his favorite game of "popcorn throws" with Ty and getting lots of snuggles. Already have booked Emmett for a longer stay with Ty when I need to be out of town for work next month :) Thank you Ty!”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Cash got lots of play time with the other dogs and seemed to really enjoy himself. Jamie had great communication with us and sent plenty of cute pics while we were away.”
“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!”
“Jasmyne was awesome! She watched my little girl overnight while I was in town for the eagles game. She updated me throughout the night with pictures and everything. Her dog Raven got along great with mine. Nova was very hesitant to eat in a new environment so Jasmyne even tried sitting with her on the floor to help ease her anxiety. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter in the area! Thank you so much Jasmyne!”

About: I used to work at a doggy daycare and I worked with horses for about a year, so nothing scares me. I fostered a dog for a year until she found her forever home and now I have my own rescue. She is my whole world. I will treat your furbabies like my own because I know they are your whole world too. I work 2 part-time jobs with a lot of availibility/flexibilty. I typically work either midday or evening, but it changes daily. I would work well with a flexible schedule. We would go for many walks during the day. My dog loves to play so they can tire each other out. If comfortable with other dogs, we could visit the dog park.
