“Beth took such good care of Buddy that he hesitated to come home with me! He had a wonderful stay complete with walks and toys and treats. I am very grateful. Thank you Beth!”
“Jacob took superb care of my dog during my business trip. I had full confidence Odie was in excellent hands. We returned to find him very happy. I highly recommend Jacob's services.”
“Both my Dogs Neil and Sophie loved Korah. Korah comb their hair daily (including putting a top knot in Sophie hair). Her updates were the best - my dogs were snuggling up to her and playing - gave me peace of mind while on vacation. House was left neat and clean and she even left a treat and a toy for the kids with a lovely thank you card. Very nice job”
“Our dog Zero had such a good time at Amanda's, we actually felt guilty picking him up! Amanda shared regular updates and photos, and, while she maintained Zero's normal routine of walks, meals, and sleep, the extra play and snuggle time the family gave Zero clearly made him one content, tuckered out pup. We would definitely bring Zero to Amanda's for boarding again in the future.”
“Katie was wonderful with Toby! She watched him last minute for us so we could go on a trip. She sent pictures and was super responsive! I would highly recommend and use her again!”
“My dog Kylo stayed with Kim and her family for the first time for about a week, and although it’s always a little nerve-wracking leaving him with a new sitter, especially for an extended length of time, Kim was gracious and communicative before and during my trip. She sent photos and even reached out when he had some tummy issues so we could help him feel well again. I’m truly grateful to have found her and will definitely book with her again.”
About: I love dogs and have two of my own - a little man named Sid and big golden named Ruby. Everyone in my family has a dog as well so I am very used to being around pets. I am an active person and would love to walk, run with, or care for your dog! I work 2 days a week and I am flexible on weekends, so just let me know what you're thinking! We have two kids at home, 3 and under, so must be okay with sweet kiddos. I live in home with a big fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs. I have a small dog and large dog who get along very well with other dogs. They get super playful around other dogs, so your dog would surely have a fun time and get all his/her energy out! I am working part-time and home with my babies the other days, allowing a lot of flexibility with caring for your pet. We have some occasional things planned for weekends but are otherwise pretty open! I have a fenced in, nice yard for dogs to play and run in. We live in a great walking neighborhood. We have two dogs to keep your fur baby company as well as two young children. Animals must be kid-friendly for our home!
“Our pup is turning 3 in June and we had never left her with anyone. We found Kessia and felt an instant connection. She confidently, but gently assured our pup and us that there was nothing to worry about, and her two pups instantly welcomed ours in playful banter. We have no concerns in leaving our pup with Kessia.”
“Awesome sitters! They were flexible on pickup/dropoff times, sent lots of pictures, and really cared for our dogs. We never use sitters so we were nervous to be away from our dogs, but they took such great care of them and made us feel comfortable leaving them. Will definitely book them again in the future!”
“8 paws way up!! My 2 dogs would highly recommend Chris and his crew for wearing them out and play, play, playing! Large fenced in yard and other dogs to socialize with - June and Carter will be visiting again!”
“Tiffany was so amazing and sweet with my Furr baby ! She was super flexible with pick up and drop off and even sent me pictures while he stayed with her! Lives in a great area and overall a super amazing person !! This is where you want your pet staying if you are ever traveling !!”
“Rebecca was fabulous with our pup. She sent updates and was very communicative. When we picked up our dog, she was happy to see us, but obviously well cared for and not anxious at all. Grateful for the help and loving care!”
“We will definitely request Braydon to watch our dogs in the future. He communicated very well, and id he had a question, he asked it. We had Braydon come to our home. It was so nice to come home, and have everything look the same. Our dogs were happy and safe. Thanks Braydon!”
About: I have had a dog since I was 8 years old. I am well experienced in walking, feeding, bathing, etc. dogs. I have never met a dog I haven’t liked and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. My dog is currently a senior dog so I am familiar with caring for older dogs. I am currently in graduate school so i have classes in the morning/afternoon but my evenings are very open to walk or care for your pets!! When caring in a clients home, I make sure to get clear instructions on how to efficiently care for their pet. I make sure I understand their schedule and follow it closely. I also make some time to let the pet get used to me before I do what I need to do to make sure they are comfortable.

About: My mom had rescue dogs and cats my entire childhood, and a few years ago, I adopted my kitty, Momo. Outside of my home, I occasionally help care for friends’ cats when they travel, which some times includes overnight stays, or some times just 2x a day check ins. I love playing or just chilling with cats. I’m happy to match a cat’s energy and play or not play however it seems to like. Unfortunately, I also have experience with caring for cats at end-of-life, as well as caring for cats experiencing illness. I’ve given antibiotics to my family cats and friends’ cats. My cat Momo is particularly difficult to give medicine to - unfortunately it really stresses him out, so I am very acclimated to cat scratches.
About: I have grown up having cats since I was young. I have experience giving medications, preparing special diets, and I’ve also taken care of a cat into her senior years. I currently own two cats of my own and regularly do drop-in visits for friends’ cats.
“Kristy was kind, communicative, and a great sitter for our two kitties while we were out of town! The daily visit cards with photos were much appreciated. I will definitely contact Kristy again next time we go out of town and need a sitter, and I’d definitely recommend Kristy to anyone looking for care for their pets while away.”
About: I've had cats most of my adult life. I also had a dog was kind of a special needs dog. My dog Cooper passed away at 17 years. He was a cavapoo. My cat is not any specific breed. I've had great experience using Rover to take care of my cat.
“Hailey did a great job taking care of our 5 cats during a 3 week period. It was also more difficult than usual due to need to medicate two of them due to recent severe illness. One of these cats is also somewhat shy and can be difficult to medicate. Both of these cats also gained weight beyond their pre-illness weight under her care. All of our cats were healthy and happy when we got back. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve been a cat owner and lover for over 15 years, and caring for cats is something I truly enjoy. My 3 cats are my whole world! As a nurse, I’m comfortable providing attentive, reliable care and recognizing when something may be off. I also have experience caring for diabetic cats, administering medications, and managing special diets and other unique needs. I’d love the opportunity to give your cat the same patience, affection, and personalized care I give my own!
“This was our first visit with Kira. She's reliable, delightful and goes beyond the basics. And, will figure it out! I'll happily request that she takes care of my boy again!! He was relaxed and easily showed her his goofy lovable self.”
“Emma was amazing and wonderful with my orange-flavored boy. She cuddled and loved on him like he was her own fur baby. I will definitely be asking her to care for Robin again.”
About: I was always a dog person until Hazel came into my life over 10 years ago. She is a sassy girl. I adopted Abby about 3 years ago. She loves attention. I look forward to getting to know your feline baby!
About: As a lifelong cat owner and lover, I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, preferences, and routine. I provide caring, attentive, and dependable care to ensure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your kitty enjoys playful interaction, quiet companionship, or simply a consistent routine, I take the time to build trust and meet their individual needs. From feeding and litter box care to administering basic medications and providing plenty of affection (on their terms, of course!), I treat every cat as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your feline friend a stress-free, positive experience. 🐾
“First time that Amanda has taken care of my rabbits and everyone involved seemed to enjoy it. She was able to help me last min and followed my posted directions. Will contact her again next time I need help.”
“Cortlyn was awesome! She was so comfortable with Zeke! With him being reactive I always get a little nervous with leaving him with other people but I felt he was in the best of hands!! Thank you for taking care of our boy!!”

“Fantastic! Our dogs immediately felt comfortable in this calm and loving environment. Amanda sent pictures and messages to update on how they were doing. Could not have asked for more!”
About: I have had a dog in my home since I was born! From BoBo, to now my own puppy, Mani, I have had tons of experience with all kinds of dogs. I have taught Mani sit, shake, down, stay, and come so far! I would love to help people with the basics: walking, feeding, potty breaks, playing, and keeping an eye on them. Additionally, I understand dog behaviors and how to approach different behaviors with caution and care. I am available to help almost anytime during the week and weekends! Starting in September, Tuesdays will be off the table as I will be in school, but so far I am available almost anytime. In the clients home, please let me know how you want me to take care of your dog and how to come into your home with care and compassion!
“Harley had a great time! I appreciate the care and attention Madeleine and Anthony took to ensure he felt part of the group! Loved the pictures and feedback on how he was engaging with the other pups. We’ll be back!”
About: Hey there! I am an animal lover to the core. Let me be your pet's new best friend while you are away! I recently moved back to the Midwest to be closer to family, about two years ago. I was traveling constantly for work, but am now full time work from home. When I lived in another state for work, I did pet care as a part time job with private clients weekly. I grew to absolutely love it and would love to get established back in Wisconsin. I grew up with dogs, cats, and cows my entire life - being raised on a farm. I am the type of person who can’t stop without petting a dog whenever I see one! Providing companionship to your pet is my favorite thing to do. We can go on walks, eat food, and watch the latest Hulu show together! Your fur baby is welcome to sleep with me, on the floor, or in any bed or crate you bring. My two rescue cats absolutely LOVE other animals, so there is no worry there. They are so curious and eventually become besties! Since I am work from home full time now, so I am extremely flexible and they will have constant attention. I do live in an apartment, BUT, I am right next to the walking trail in River Prairie (the loop). I would be more than happy to go on as many walks as needed, and enjoy some sunshine with your fur baby! So do not worry, they can be outside as much or little as you’d like. I am open to care of all animals, all sizes, and all ages. If wanted, I visit my family farm quite often where we have extensive yard and land to run on. It is 100% an option for me to take your pet there if you want them to have some extra smells, especially if they stay long term with me. I’m extremely flexible and want you to not have to worry! While I traveled full time for work in the past, constant updates on my animals back home was crucial to me. I will provide as much or little communication you’d like. I’m here to meet you and your pet where you’d like and keep being away from them stress free. I promise they are in such caring hands! I work from home most days and go on daily walks myself! I would love to have a companion along with me to help make my place less lonely! During the weekends I can give even extra attention! I have access to the loop walk near River Prairie where i can take your pet for a potty break or for a walk! Depending how far they like to go - I can do the full three miles with them, or cut it shorter! I will be here with them to provide food, water, and care. Your pet will be my number 1 priority while I am with them!
About: I grew up with many family pets and helped care for them. I have worked professionally at day care and boarding/training facilities. In 2011 I acquired a Veterinary Assisting Diploma from Horizon School of Veterinary Assisting. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, most days I am available. We can talk and figure out what would work best for you and your companion animal. I will respect your animals current routine already in place and follow through with daily care needs as if you would for them in your home.
About: I’ve taken care of a couple of different types of dogs since I was young. My family and friends trusted their dogs in my care. I’m a college student looking for side work to make some extra money. but haven’t started classes yet, so I have a very open schedule. I create a calm safe environment as well as follow pet routines closely, I handle pets gently, always respect owners boundaries, and prioritize safety in my home and clients homes.
“Jacob was great for Charlie. My dog had a lot of anxiety and never met Jacob before but overall I could tell that Charlie was well taken care of and received lots of good support from Jacob. I would definitely use Jacob again.”
“Molly was great both with booking and during Kona’s stay. She responded very quickly and sent updates throughout the day. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Chris did great with the dogs! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!! He played fetch with our lab until she got tired (who can play fetch FOREVER... seriously forever). He’s very considerate, informative, and a true dog lover! I can tell he does is absolute best to give the pups the excersize and love they need and deserve!”

“Hadyn was wonderful! She watched our Ruby on a last minute notice and sent us regular updates. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Thank you again Hadyn!”
“Carissa was very easy to work with setting up the first meeting/trial run. It is nice to have daycare options when we are at our campsite and want to go do things, without having to leave him at the camper. Cope must have really enjoyed himself because he headed back towards her house, rather than the car when it was time to leave.”
About: I've been around animals my whole life. I have a cat and have had several different dogs. I even fostered dogs for a summer. I'm now divorced and have my kids half the time. My work is flexible and I can add in dog care as needed throughout the day. I homeschool my boys when I have them and work delivery jobs when I don't. My work is very flexible so I can make time for per care any time. I live in town with a small yard. It works best to come to your home as it's most familiar for the animal. My home is a good size but has close neighbors. You can find my personal pet sitting page called Jessica's Pet Sitting on Facebook.
About: I have worked for roughly two years dog sitting for friends and family. Typically these have been in my own home - occasionally overnight. I have a fenced in back yard for my 3 dogs & 2 cats so I have experience with both :) I have complete availability currently, so my dog at home gets quite a lot of walks and park time. If possible, i also try to socialize him with people each day. Typically I take my dog to the dog park in the evening with a long walk in the morning. This works best for my dogs energy levels, but each dog is different. I am also trying to socialize my dog in public as he is a bit scared of humans so we try to hit some breweries here and there.
About: I’ve been watching dogs and cats since I was young. I love to walk dogs and spend lots of time playing together. I also enjoy caring for cats. I’m very reliable and am a good communicator. I would love to spend more time helping out with pets! I recently moved here and would love to watch some new furry friends. I’m employed part time currently and looking for full time work. I am very respectful of other people’s homes and properties. I am clean, quiet, and will communicate as often as you would like. I love to play with cats and dogs and will give them lots of attention.
“Highly recommend Mike—he was incredibly easy to work with, highly responsive, and flexible. He offered up a meet/greet in advance which was incredibly helpful. My pup Taco was comfortable with him right away—he is definitely a dog lover!”

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I regularly do weekend babysitting for a German shepherd and Australian shepherd. I also do drop-in visits for my friends cats when they are gone on vacations. I work full-time from home with the ability to bring my work laptop with me. I have meetings throughout the week but my schedule is pretty flexible. Most weekends I have availability to do walks or visits, though I am sometimes out of town to pet sit. During the week, I can do 1 morning walk before 8AM every day. Some days I have availability at noon for 1 walk as well. Those days will have an extra booking available! For drop-in visits, your pet will be in their own home where they are used to the environment, and I require an introductory visit before taking on new clients. This way we can guarantee a good match for your pet and I. For dog walking, I will provide the safest experience possible for your pet. I can even take them to dog parks if that is allowed. I also require an introductory meeting before taking new clients.
About: Hello, my name is Taryn. I’ve had plenty of experience taking care of dogs as I have had dogs my whole life. Since middle school, I have been pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Not only have I had pet sitting experience with dogs, I have taken care of other animals as well. Those animals range from cats, bunnies, fish, and even chickens ! I will be able to provide you and your pets with the services you need! I just graduated from UW-Stout and am currently living in Eau Claire. I work at my main job on weekdays (in Menomonie). My hours vary, but they are usually only 7 hour shifts or less. I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays unless I already have another gig booked. I am able to provide your pet with whatever service they need, ranging from making sure they have enough food and water to taking them on walks and providing them with entertainment! I am available for dog walking and drop-ins before 5pm on Mondays, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and after 5pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. As for house-sitting, I am available most days as long as your pet is okay with being alone for a few hours! I attend in-person classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, but would have an hour or two to come back to the house to check in! I currently do not offer doggy day care in my own home, but I will be able to keep your dogs company at their respective homes. I can walk them, feed them, play with them, keep them company, and more!

I’m flexible, detail-oriented, and truly love getting to know each animal’s personality. My goal is always to create a stress-free experience — for both you and your furry family. Pet care can fit seamlessly into my routine. I currently bartend and this allows for more flexibility and available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, or house sitting throughout the week — your pet’s needs come first in my day! I have no pets at my home so my casa is your pets casa with no interference. At my 8 plex building there is a much area to run around if they can be off leash otherwise the area is great to walk for potty breaks at anytime. I live in a safe, quiet and less trafficked area which will be great for walks!
“Emma is the best!! She takes amazing care of my fur baby GunnerSky when she comes to walk her while I am at work. Emma always takes GunnerSky on long walks and spends the full amount of time with her. Thank you Emma!! 😊😊”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals.

“Jacob took superb care of my dog during my business trip. I had full confidence Odie was in excellent hands. We returned to find him very happy. I highly recommend Jacob's services.”
“Both my Dogs Neil and Sophie loved Korah. Korah comb their hair daily (including putting a top knot in Sophie hair). Her updates were the best - my dogs were snuggling up to her and playing - gave me peace of mind while on vacation. House was left neat and clean and she even left a treat and a toy for the kids with a lovely thank you card. Very nice job”
“Our dog Zero had such a good time at Amanda's, we actually felt guilty picking him up! Amanda shared regular updates and photos, and, while she maintained Zero's normal routine of walks, meals, and sleep, the extra play and snuggle time the family gave Zero clearly made him one content, tuckered out pup. We would definitely bring Zero to Amanda's for boarding again in the future.”
“My dog Kylo stayed with Kim and her family for the first time for about a week, and although it’s always a little nerve-wracking leaving him with a new sitter, especially for an extended length of time, Kim was gracious and communicative before and during my trip. She sent photos and even reached out when he had some tummy issues so we could help him feel well again. I’m truly grateful to have found her and will definitely book with her again.”
About: I love dogs and have two of my own - a little man named Sid and big golden named Ruby. Everyone in my family has a dog as well so I am very used to being around pets. I am an active person and would love to walk, run with, or care for your dog! I work 2 days a week and I am flexible on weekends, so just let me know what you're thinking! We have two kids at home, 3 and under, so must be okay with sweet kiddos. I live in home with a big fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs. I have a small dog and large dog who get along very well with other dogs. They get super playful around other dogs, so your dog would surely have a fun time and get all his/her energy out! I am working part-time and home with my babies the other days, allowing a lot of flexibility with caring for your pet. We have some occasional things planned for weekends but are otherwise pretty open! I have a fenced in, nice yard for dogs to play and run in. We live in a great walking neighborhood. We have two dogs to keep your fur baby company as well as two young children. Animals must be kid-friendly for our home!
“Our pup is turning 3 in June and we had never left her with anyone. We found Kessia and felt an instant connection. She confidently, but gently assured our pup and us that there was nothing to worry about, and her two pups instantly welcomed ours in playful banter. We have no concerns in leaving our pup with Kessia.”
“Awesome sitters! They were flexible on pickup/dropoff times, sent lots of pictures, and really cared for our dogs. We never use sitters so we were nervous to be away from our dogs, but they took such great care of them and made us feel comfortable leaving them. Will definitely book them again in the future!”
“8 paws way up!! My 2 dogs would highly recommend Chris and his crew for wearing them out and play, play, playing! Large fenced in yard and other dogs to socialize with - June and Carter will be visiting again!”
“Tiffany was so amazing and sweet with my Furr baby ! She was super flexible with pick up and drop off and even sent me pictures while he stayed with her! Lives in a great area and overall a super amazing person !! This is where you want your pet staying if you are ever traveling !!”
“Rebecca was fabulous with our pup. She sent updates and was very communicative. When we picked up our dog, she was happy to see us, but obviously well cared for and not anxious at all. Grateful for the help and loving care!”
“We will definitely request Braydon to watch our dogs in the future. He communicated very well, and id he had a question, he asked it. We had Braydon come to our home. It was so nice to come home, and have everything look the same. Our dogs were happy and safe. Thanks Braydon!”
“I cannot express how well my pup was taken care of. In addition, our return flight was cancelled and Carissa was gracious enough to keep her for TWO ADDITIONAL DAYS, which helped alleviate so much stress. Photos of my dog, regular updates - Carissa is the best caretaker we have ever had.”
“Outstanding dog sitter We can’t say enough great things about Alison! From the moment we met, we knew Buddy was in the best hands. She was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. Having her dogs with Buddy was an added bonus as they got along great. Throughout the stay, we loved getting pictures and regular updates and thoughtful check-ins that gave me total peace of mind. We will definitely use Alison again!”
About: 🐶🐈 I’ve grown up with animals in my household ever since I can remember. All of my friends own pets as well and I have been a trusted sitter for them all! Cats and Dogs are both welcome in my home! 🐶🐈 I am usually available M-TH while working remote. I can be home 4+ hours at a time or more and I will never leave your furry friend alone for long if absolutely necessary for me to leave. 🐶🐈 I live in a very spacious 4 bedroom, 1 bathroom house and have a fenced in yard where I can take your fur baby out to run! It is a very very pet friendly community and we live in a great neighborhood for long walks!
“Highly, highly recommend Alia! This is the first time I used Rover, and I’m super happy with my experience! I had to go out of state for a few days and Alia watched my pup who was sad he couldn’t come with me. He didn’t want to eat and so she hand fed him and kept in touch with me the whole time. I don’t know of many people who would be willing to feed a dog one piece of dog food at a time. So happy for her caring heart! She got him eating again with other foods she asked for permission to feed him. Very happy with her service! Will definitely use her services again when I need to!”
About: Hi! I'm a dependable animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up around dogs, including a reactive German Shepherd, and I've also helped care for both small and large dogs in my family, so I'm comfortable with a variety of temperaments and energy levels. I'm especially good at reading dog body language and making sure dogs feel safe and understood. Whether it's going for walks, playing, or helping a dog burn off energy in a positive way, I focus on keeping things calm, structured, and fun. I'm patient, attentive, and reliable, and I always treat every dog like they're my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy while you're away. I am a college student so after 3pm on Monday's, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I am available for any of the services needed. This way I can board on the weekends for sure. I have an unfenced yard with a puppy that loves to play. I have a crate available for most dogs. I have a 100ft long leash so you don’t have to worry about your pet.
