“Bobbi was absolutely amazing with Franklin! She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she truly loves dogs and treated him like one of her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Anu and her family did a wonderful job of taking care of our Trooper. He had a fantastic time and took quite the nap after getting home from all the playing! They made sure they knew Trooper’s routine and we received pictures and videos multiple times a day to keep us updated on how he was doing. I highly recommend Anu and her family to care for your pet!”
“Maria was great! While on vacation we got delayed an extra night due to a tropical storm and she was quick to help and eased any worry of having a safe place for our dog. Chewy is a great pup but in need of a little extra attention and Maria easily fulfilled this as she only watched one dog at a time having Chewy return to us happy and healthy! We were also able to see updates on him through the pictures she sent and could see his personality still shining through as he was definitely comfortable in her care.”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Bobbie and Clark are too good to be true! If I were to clone myself and times it by 10, that is the kind of love and care they gave my Gracie. She simply became a part of their family and they loved and cared for her exactly like that. Play time, swim time, nap time, all day every day. Bobbie even offered a service of picking her up and bringing her back home! Kind, sweet, genuine people with a real love for dogs ... Feeling so blessed to have found them ❤️”
“Chelsea was amazing great communication always keeping us updated on how Dexter was doing and sending lots of pictures some issues with our flight and she so understanding definitely recommend Chelsea for your pets needs we will definitely be using her again”
“Gina was wonderful!! She loved Roxy as if she was her own fur baby. Roxy is a senior Yorkie (13-14 years old) who has spent very little time away from us, yet she was obviously happy while at Gina’s as she ate and wasn’t shaking when we left her or picked her up. Gina sent us pictures each day of Roxy playing, on walks and napping with Mack (her chihuahua who is sweet and adorable). Highly recommend!! 10/10 5 STARS”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Jessica & Chase were excellent dog sitters for my Coco. I got pictures and updates each day. They showed so much care and concern for Coco. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Kristina is amazing! I cannot say enough good things about her—she watched our pup super last minute and she made him feel so comfortable, so happy, I wasn’t sure he was ready to come home! I don’t think I would have anyone else watch Ryder after our amazing experience with Kristina ?”
“Very responsive and kind. Our dog seemed very happy and they kept us updated throughout his stay. We will definitely be using them again next time we need someone to watch our dog. :)”
“Frank and Julie are the best! They are very responsive and give great updates with pictures and videos. They have a nice big fenced in area where our pup loves to run around. It’s hard for us to leave our pup, but we know she is in good hands with Frank and Julie. Highly recommend!”
“Kelley and her Husband were AWESOME! SUPER friendly and kept me update on my Thorin. My Thorin seemed extremely happy and they took good care of him. Remind you guys, my Throin is. Belgian Malinois and I thought he was going to be too much for Kelley and her husband. But they were able to keep up with him. HIGHLY recommend!!!!”
“Morgan had a wonderful time. She has an autoimmune disorder that causes chronic arthritis. They did a great job of caring for her and understanding her needs. Highly recommend.”
“Kathy did a great job. She came through for me at a moments notice when my boarder had a cancellation. Her dogs did well with my boy. He came home happy and tired which is a good thing.”
“Karen took great care of our boy- very communicative and patient with his minor separation anxiety- if we find ourselves back in town we’ll be happy to work with her again!”
“Mary was amazing!! My dog does not normally like new people but he loved Mary and she took great care of him. I even had to book last minute because of a funeral. I was able to be fully present with my family at our time of loss because my dog was so well cared for. Thanks Mary!!”
“Emma was wonderful with Lily. We only needed one night due to a funeral. But she sent pictures and responded to me right away. If you need someone in Fond du Lac she is it.”

Prices are estimates per visit. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I grew up with 2 cats in my home as a kid until I moved out for college. The only thing keeping me from being a cat lady are my child's allergies. I also help out family and close friends when they are out of town. I'm not afraid of a litter box or a little throw up/hair ball. I understand I'm earning their respect as well :) I would love to be the person to check in on your loved one while you are out of town or working long days and provide a social visit, top up snacks and water, and clean up if needed. I am an RN and have experience with medication administration with dogs.
“Jenna did great and was very flexible. She even got some pets in with my rabbit who is usually wary of strangers or people in general so im very happy with the job she did!”
About: I have extensive hands‑on experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. From shy, slow‑to‑warm kitties to confident social butterflies, I understand how to read feline body language and adjust my approach to make every cat feel safe and respected. My care includes feeding routines, litter box maintenance, enrichment play, grooming support, and administering medications when needed. I’m attentive to subtle changes in behavior—whether it’s appetite, energy, or mood—so I can keep your cat comfortable and content while you’re away.
“Alli did an excellent job! We felt confident she would know exactly what to do for our animals. Her communication was timely, and she provided lots of details and photos. We will definitely book Alli again!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs on my own since middle school. We've always had a family dog in the household as well as friends and neighbors who would need help with their little ones. I have a BS in Animal Science, have worked as an emergency vet assistant/triage tech for the last 3 years, and have some professional dog training experience. I currently have 2 guinea pigs, and a 2-year-old AND 1-year-old pitty/lab mix that love to come to work with me and go on all sorts of outdoor adventures! Needless to say, my life revolves around animals and I don't know what the world would be like without them! I would love to get to know your little one and be there for them (and you!) when needed! Good communication and planning helps me arrange my schedule and make myself available for your needs. I often have days off during the week so I can spend time with our furry friends while their families are at work. Having worked in an emergency pet hospital keeps me on my toes and I always put safety first. When it comes to walking outside, I double check collar/harness every time to ensure a secure yet comfortable fit that can't be slipped out of. I also know dog body language and signs of illness to monitor and keep people and pets safe!
About: I've taken care of cats since I was a little girl, a long time ago. We had kittens, tom cats, and even a very large cat named Casey. I loved them all. My daughter's cat sleeps with me when I am there. My son's cats will lie on my computer. My family and clients' cats love to be brushed, pet, and given treats. Litter boxes are kept clean, and water dishes are cleaned daily. I would love to come sit with your cat. Most important is that they stay in their home environment without any disruption. No cat-itude. I'm looking forward to connecting.
About: Growing up I've always been surrounded by pets of all sorts; dogs and cats and many others. Currently since I've moved out on my own I have a few of my own furbabies (my three cats Penny & Minx & Cheezeburger) that being said I live in my own home.If you choose me then you are helping me give some love to a furry critter who might need that extra help from a new special friend! I currently work first shift and have oodles of love to give hense why I 3 furbabies of my own haha. Typically you can find me fixing things around my house and with summer around the corner I crave to walk more hense why I think being a dog walker would be a interesting twist on how to spice up my life. Depending on your service that is needed we could further talk about what the expectations are. May it be a walk or feeding or simply to give them the good old belly rubs; just being there will be quite the joy.
About: I love all animals. I have taken care of my family, friends, and my own pets for years. I am a huge believer in play and fun. I assist pets with a more active lifestyle with love. I am reliable and will treat your pet as my own. I too have been on extended trips and felt the worry associated with being gone. I understand how to calm pets and make the experience positive for all involved. I am an effective communicator and will give updates for piece of mind. I have had behavioral training. I hope to be your regular and become a true friend/ helper for your pet reducing all anxiety and offering a wonderful experience for your beloved pet. Good care and vibes only.
“Madalyn does a wonderful job! Our GSD can be quite reactive when meeting someone new, but she handled it expertly. She is very quick to respond, asks all the right questions when caring for pups, and cares so deeply for them. We look forward to scheduling more drop-ins with her in the future if we need someone to watch him. Thanks again!”
About: I love taking care of dogs. I will walk your dog in the Spring, Summer and Fall in good weather. Your dog will have my 3 year old Maltese to play with. I’m CPR trained and if needed, with calling you first, take your dog to my home town ER hospital (hope we never need to use that). Your dog must be potty trained for outside. My grandchildren all love dogs, they visit sometimes. I have been with dogs all my life. So rest assured I’ll take care of your dog while I take care of mine and my grandchildren. I will have play time and potty breaks. Will try to teach your dog new tricks. I’ve taken training classes with Pet Smart. You won’t regret placing your pet with me.
“Gabriella was able to help us out last minute and was a lifesaver! She communicated throughout her visits and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Can't wait to book with her again!”
About: I have taken care of many different types of animals in animal shelter settings and have worked at Blue Pearl Emergency Vet. This included potty breaks, play-time and giving them food and their medications when needed. I have taken care of diabetic animals and animals with injuries, etc. I have also had many different types of animals since the day I was born. I have a flexible schedule and am willing to work around different work schedules or vacation times, etc. I am interested in helping whenever needed. I will follow different directions as given or told depending on the animals needs and what is best for the family and animal. It will vary depending on what is needed.
About: I have trained puppies, and dealt with animals who needed medicine or injections daily and blind dogs! I’ve also worked with different breeds because i volunteered at a shelter for awhile! I currently only work part time, so I do have lots of time to be taking great care and spending time with your pet! monday-sunday i’m available, after 2pm works best for me! I have a big fenced in yard, and two other dogs as well to keep your pet company, I also own a crate for big and small dogs if needed, I have many treats and lots of toys as well!
About: I have had a love for dogs my entire life! I was blessed to grow up with the sweetest Black Lab and my family welcomed a toy poodle to our family when I was 12. In the last couple of years, the family dogs have gone from 2 to 6 with the addition of my in-laws. I am at my happiest when we are all in the same house, each of us with a dog on our lap or at our feet. I don't know what life is like without a dog in it! I lost my 4 year old mini dachshund unexpectedly in 2020. Since then my love for dogs has only grown. I would love to hangout with your furbaby! I currently work a hybrid schedule, working from home most days. My role allows me flexibility throughout the day. I would love to fit in a couple of dog walks and cuddles into my schedule. All dogs are part of the family in my home. I will never treat them differently. I grew up with runners, so have no fear that keeping your dogs safe and home is my number one priority.

“Emily took such good care of our Obi! Emily and her family took him in like their own! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was very attentive to all our puppy’s needs 😊 🩷 Would highly recommend Emily for all your pets needs!”
“Bobbie and Clark have watched our rescues a couple of times now, and seemed happy to see them again. Our most sensitive hesitant dog tried to follow Bonnie back the house when it was time to come home! Feel relieved to have them available to watch our loved ones when we can’t be home.”
“We had a last-minute Rover request, and Bobbi responded quickly and made booking easy. Even though it was a short stay, we could tell our dog had a great time especially with Mercy, their adorable pug! Bobbi shared updates and photos, and Nova seemed to really enjoy their spacious backyard. Bobbi was so kind and welcoming. We’d absolutely recommend her to others!”

“My Jojo loved her stay with Maria today! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. I appreciated all the timely communication- even before we arrived. Amazing service. Thank you so much!”
“Cristy was amazing! Her home was so cute and tidy. She has a sweet little dog that played so well with my dog whom normally doesn’t care much for others. Cristy was kind, communicative, and flexible.”
“Highly recommend Chelsea! She was very easy to communicate with and was able to take Voss on short notice when we had to be in town unexpectedly. My dog had a fun day playing with her dogs in the fenced back yard and house. She even trimmed his nails for us which was really great. We’ll be back if we need care in Oshkosh again!”
“Great experience, Ally did a great job watching Bart. She was very accommodating with us. After meeting both her an Coy we felt very comfortable leaving Bart in her care. We would definitely let her watch him again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was ten. From a litter of beagle puppies to King & Queen to Sandy our cocker spaniel and Pepper the Schnauzer. In married life I had golden retriever and multiple Tri Shelties. Also have the pleasure of grand dogs to care for occasionally. My last Sheltie Cooper passed 10/2020 and I would love to care for your precious fur baby. I am an active retired female with lots of time & energy to care for your loved one. My hours are very open and I can be flexible with schedule I have a nice backyard with long leads/leash to connect pet indoors before letting out. Also very nice trail walks in area. I enjoy keeping your dog in good shape with a little exercise and a calm relaxing home to come back to
“This was a last minute need so it was great he could watch Cody with very short notice. Cody is an older dog and does not take change well, so it was fantastic he was excited to return the next day which means Cody really enjoyed his stay. Great care and communication! Cody was all smiles!”
About: I have part-time pup named Teddie, who you can see in my photos. I cared for my parents' elderly dog for two months, and I occasional provide daily care for another friend's dog. I'm looking forward to making more pet connections, and I hope to meet your animal companions very soon! I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have significant flexibility in my schedule. I will work with you to make sure all your pet's needs are met! I am happy to care for your pets at your home, or mine. We are best set up to care for dogs at our home, with easy access to our backyard and a longer, outdoor leash (no fence). My eleven-year-old enjoys animals as well, and he often scooters with me during doggie walks. I have experience with elderly dogs and anxious dogs.
“Love using Sarah for dog sitting! She is so flexible and I can always count on her with last minute bookings! Frankie leaps out of my arms to go greet her family and pups ❤️ Will continue bringing frankie ❤️”
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Don for doggy daycare. He sends photo and video updates throughout the day and takes time to ensure my dog is having fun at him home! There is lots of space for him to run and play outside. Don is the best when it comes to communicating and caring for my pup.”
About: Since childhood, I have been responsible for the care of various animals, including dogs, cats, and small animals of diverse species. Among these, dogs hold a special place in my heart as my favorite animal. As a full-time stay-at-home mother, I am constantly at home with my children and dogs. During the summer months, we thoroughly enjoy spending time outdoors. I have a spacious backyard that is not fenced in, but I have a long tie-out if needed for your furry friends. Your pets will be well cared for.
About: I have had pets all my life! Including dogs, cats, geckos, and fish. I am super passionate about dogs especially, as is my husband. I have dog sat for numerous families in the past, and would love to put my skills to use by hosting pets, and dog walking! We are an incredibly dog friendly house, where dogs are treated as humans. We have a sweet two year old hound mix named Charlie. He LOVES all people and dogs, and would also love some friends to play with! We have done training classes with him, and are very knowledgeable about dogs. We would love to share our passion with you, and your furry friends! I am also a moderator for an online group as well!
About: I’ve worked with variety of species, specializing with dogs! I have skills with grooming and training. I have 4 of my own dogs and do dog sports as well! I work from home so I have extra time to care for your pets and am able to move around my schedule. Saturdays are the only days I may not be able to take same day bookings! I understand crate and gate management and will make sure your animals are happy and healthy! As of right now I can’t offer boarding in my own home but maybe in the future
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, horses, ducks, and rabbits. I also had a great deal of time with other animals such as cows, and chickens at my Grandpa's dairy farm. One of my past jobs was being a dog sitter, to care for them, and do some training as well. I loved it! 🙂😁 I now have a German Shepard and Husky mix named Apollo, and I love teaching him new things, spending time with him, and of course taking care of him. 🥰❤️ I'm currently working as a house cleaner, and although I love the job, I would like to work some more hours. Sometimes clients cancel or reschedule cleanings resulting in less hours. I'm looking to do this hopefully full time, as I miss working with dogs. 🙂😁 I currently have a huge yard, but I can also give walks if suggested. I'm welcoming any animals except cats due to my boyfriend being allergic. I will do my very best to help any of your fur babies feel at home. 💌😁

“Madalyn is consistent and flexible on scheduling walks! She was so kind to my dog when she realized he was scared of a thunderstorm! She sat with him and came back later to walk him when the storm was over.”
About: I’ve spent several years providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection to keep pets happy and relaxed while their families are away. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment so every pet feels comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly rhythm, especially since I work from home three days a week. On those WFH days, I’m able to offer flexible, consistent attention—perfect for pets who enjoy companionship, regular check‑ins, or a steady routine. I build feeding times, walks or play sessions, potty breaks, and general wellness checks around my work blocks, making sure pets get the care and interaction they need throughout the day. On the days I’m in the office, I plan visits intentionally to keep each pet’s routine stable. Whether it’s morning care, midday enrichment, or evening check‑ins, I make sure every pet gets predictable, comforting attention. Because I’m used to balancing a hybrid schedule with pet responsibilities, I’m very organized and reliable about maintaining consistent care all week long. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine, environment, and comfort exactly the way they’re used to. I follow the owner’s instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, medication needs, and any household rules—so pets feel secure and stress‑free. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, whether they need extra play, quiet companionship, or a slow, gentle approach. I keep the home tidy and respectful, making sure food and water areas stay clean, litter boxes or potty routines are maintained, and any messes are handled right away. I also pay attention to small details like closing gates, locking doors, turning lights on or off as requested, and keeping the home feeling lived‑in and safe. Throughout the stay, I send updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing.
About: I have had animals since I was a newborn, surrounded by cats, dogs, mice, you name it! Continuing my love for animals, I work full time at a doggy daycare, which I have been at for over a year. I have 2 animals of my own, and work at a doggy daycare. Pet care is LITERALLY a part of my daily routine! Right now, I do have a fairly packed schedule. However, I am 100% willing to make time. :) I have a massive yard, with 20 ft. leashes to roam. I also own a friendly chocolate lab, though he doesn’t play much with other animals. I am able to adjust to any potential special needs or wants!
About: I’ve been volunteering and caring for cats and dogs since I was eleven years old. I am knowledgable in pet CPR and first aid. I’ve had pets of my own my entire life, including 3 dogs, 4 cats, as well as chickens. I’ve cared for large and small dogs as well as cats. I am experienced in administering medicine to both cats and dogs. I’ve cared for everything from young kittens to elderly dogs. I have multiple long-time returning clients currently. I’m currently a student and have a part time job, so I have mostly evening and weekend availability during the school year. In the summer I usually work in the afternoon into the evenings, so I’m available mornings, after 7-8 in the evening, and most afternoons. I am available to stay over if desired most weekends and weekdays in the summer. My mother also works as my backup when my schedule gets hairy or in emergencies so your pets will always have someone to ensure their wellbeing! I am comfortable letting dogs out in the yard or walking them on a leash depending on the pet and personal situation. I am not currently offering services in my own home.

“Gracie was amazing with my shy, sweet girl. Took her on a long walk and ensured that she was comfortable the whole time! Communication was wonderful as well. Definitely recommend and will be contacting again!”
About: For years I have walked and taken care of my neighborhoods dogs. I even had a dog myself and would take him on walks everyday. I now have a cat with my significant other and love playing with him. When I get home from work I like to go on walks, but I miss walking my late dog so walking and taking care of someone else animal would make me happy and also them. Making sure the yard is safe and doors or fences are close before letting the animals out. Making sure everything is put away and not in reach of the animals unless it is their toys or things meant for them.
About: I have worked with numerous animals since I was 5 years old. I have owned chickens, rabbits, horses, dogs, and cats my entire life. I am a 4-H leader where I teach children how to train dogs and I help them show and prepare their animals at fair. I also show my own animals at the fair. Additionally, I have pet sat for numerous family members over the years as well as friends. I will always be there for your pet and I will make sure they are well taken care of and loved just like they are my own. I am a teacher who is currently on summer break. So my schedule is pretty open during the summer and I have a lot of availability. During the school year, most of my weekends are free as well as when we have breaks. I am flexible and willing to make things work for you! I live on a little hobby farm with my husband. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats who are very friendly. I have everything needed in my home to take care of a dog including a kennel if needed as well as tie outs. We have a lake that is 5 minutes from our house and if your dog loves to swim, I would be happy to take them. I take my dogs all over in the summer and I would make sure your pet gets a lot of attention and exercise as well. Additionally, we have a huge barn and fenced in pasture as well as rabbit hutches in the barn and a chicken coop! Whatever animal you have they can be comfortable at my property. Additionally, if you feel better about your animal staying at home, I am happy to accommodate to that as well.
About: I have a lifetime of experience in loving animals, I’ve had dogs my entire life. I am loving, gentle and kind and will care for your family members as you would! I have had some medical issues so am currently not working and am available whenever your pets need a sitter! I have open an availability currently. I have a big back yard, no fence but enough of an area to safely play outside on long leash if that’s an option for your animals.
About: Growing up I've always been surrounded by pets of all sorts; dogs and cats and many others.

About: “God speaks to the creatures through the creatures.” -Dr. Chase. “All you need is love.” -John Lennon. Plenty of love I have to give, but I also have the experience of 35 years as a science teacher. I’m well-versed in how animals like dogs and cats talk to us through their gestures. Dogs evolved with humans, and I understand that relationship and how dogs meet our emotional needs. Please read my first four reviews which I received from pet owners that I served even before signing up with Rover. The pet owner decides when treats are allowed, if table scraps are allowed, and how much food to give. The dog decides when it wants to go potty. 😉 Just in case, I usually take the dog out before it decides and always before any discomfort. Snuggles welcome. 🐾🥰😻 When serving you and your pet, I like to send pictures. We can also use FaceTime or Zoom to check in. 🐶🤩 At age 61, I’ve been a retired teacher for 3 years, and my activity level allows me to run or play with your beloved dog. In your home, I follow instructions and do the routine for your beloved just like you would. However, if I’m allowed to give more snuggles, or more walks, or more training than you normally have time for, I’m at your service.
About: I’ve been volunteering at animals shelters for 10+ years and have experience with sensitive pets or unique regimens. I’ve also volunteered at the National Aquarium in an animal husbandry role, so I’m a quick learner if you have pets such as reptiles that need unique care. I grew up with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, mice, snakes, hamsters, chinchillas, and a frog named Fred. I probably enjoy the walks more than the pups and I’ve never met a cat I didn’t like! My name is Melissa and I’m the proud human to three cats - Rosie, Griffon, & Minerva. I became the human to my first cat when I was 6 months old and maintained a wonderful bond with my Princess until she died at the old age of 21. I will treat any companion like they are my own and continue to love them in your absence. I’m always looking for a companion to go on adventures with, if your dog is up for the challenge. But if your cat prefers to nap together - or even ignore me entirely, I can do that, too!

This included potty breaks, play-time and giving them food and their medications when needed.

I have a flexible schedule and am willing to work around different work schedules or vacation times, etc. I am interested in helping whenever needed.

I have a big fenced in yard, and two other dogs as well to keep your pet company, I also own a crate for big and small dogs if needed, I have many treats and lots of toys as well!
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and have a lot of hands on experience with different personalities and needs! I have a German Shepherd and a Boxer, so I’m very used to larger dogs, higher energy, and the kind of attention some dogs need to feel settled and happy. I’m very comfortable with dogs that are more anxious or take a little time to warm up, as well as seniors or pets that need medication or a more specific routine. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and figuring out what makes them feel their best—it’s one of my favorite parts of doing this! My work from home schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy for me to work around what your pet needs. 🙂 I’m available mornings, mid-day, evenings, and overnights, including weekends. Pet care is already part of my daily routine, so I’m not rushing through visits. I make sure your pet gets real time, attention, and care! I keep things safe, simple, and easy for pets to settle into. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can get outside time, and I always supervise while they’re out. Inside, things stay clean and calm, and I can give pets their own space if they need a break or some quiet time. I’m also certified in Pet First Aid & CPR, so I’m prepared if anything unexpected comes up—but most of all, I focus on making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for the entire time!
About: I've grown up with dogs and once I lived on my own, soon adopted 3 cats. I've had several dogs and cats throughout my life, loving them as my children. Every animal I meet melts my heart in their own special way and I fall in love every time. I would be honored to care for your fur [or scale!] baby/ies! I currently work part time at petco in the mornings mostly. I do have my own animals as well, but find myself also always wishing I had more. I have plenty of time and heart to give! I will feed your animal the directed amount in the directed time. I will play with your cat/dog several times throughout the day. For dogs, potty breaks every 2 hours minimum. And as many cuddles and hugs as they want!
About: I have had a love for dogs my entire life! I was blessed to grow up with the sweetest Black Lab and my family welcomed a toy poodle to our family when I was 12. In the last couple of years, the family dogs have gone from 2 to 6 with the addition of my in-laws. I am at my happiest when we are all in the same house, each of us with a dog on our lap or at our feet. I don't know what life is like without a dog in it! I lost my 4 year old mini dachshund unexpectedly in 2020. Since then my love for dogs has only grown. I would love to hangout with your furbaby! I currently work a hybrid schedule, working from home most days. My role allows me flexibility throughout the day. I would love to fit in a couple of dog walks and cuddles into my schedule. All dogs are part of the family in my home. I will never treat them differently. I grew up with runners, so have no fear that keeping your dogs safe and home is my number one priority.

“Bobbi was absolutely amazing with Franklin! She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she truly loves dogs and treated him like one of her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Anu and her family did a wonderful job of taking care of our Trooper. He had a fantastic time and took quite the nap after getting home from all the playing! They made sure they knew Trooper’s routine and we received pictures and videos multiple times a day to keep us updated on how he was doing. I highly recommend Anu and her family to care for your pet!”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Chelsea was amazing great communication always keeping us updated on how Dexter was doing and sending lots of pictures some issues with our flight and she so understanding definitely recommend Chelsea for your pets needs we will definitely be using her again”
“Gina was wonderful!! She loved Roxy as if she was her own fur baby. Roxy is a senior Yorkie (13-14 years old) who has spent very little time away from us, yet she was obviously happy while at Gina’s as she ate and wasn’t shaking when we left her or picked her up. Gina sent us pictures each day of Roxy playing, on walks and napping with Mack (her chihuahua who is sweet and adorable). Highly recommend!! 10/10 5 STARS”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Very responsive and kind. Our dog seemed very happy and they kept us updated throughout his stay. We will definitely be using them again next time we need someone to watch our dog. :)”
“Frank and Julie are the best! They are very responsive and give great updates with pictures and videos. They have a nice big fenced in area where our pup loves to run around. It’s hard for us to leave our pup, but we know she is in good hands with Frank and Julie. Highly recommend!”
“Kelley and her Husband were AWESOME! SUPER friendly and kept me update on my Thorin. My Thorin seemed extremely happy and they took good care of him. Remind you guys, my Throin is. Belgian Malinois and I thought he was going to be too much for Kelley and her husband. But they were able to keep up with him. HIGHLY recommend!!!!”
“Kathy did a great job. She came through for me at a moments notice when my boarder had a cancellation. Her dogs did well with my boy. He came home happy and tired which is a good thing.”

He was truly amazing with my dog Belle and I will definitely be using him in the future.”
About: I’ve walked dogs since I was 8 years olds, started house sitting at 13 for dogs, cats, and small animals. I considered my years of experience after adulthood for frosting cats and dogs. As well as my personal experience with horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, and more. I love them all and my kids do too. We are currently a single dog household with no cats, much to my kids disappointment. We are hoping that providing our children a wide range of experiences they will understand what the long term responsibilities will look like before adding another permanent furry family member. I work from home 95% of the time, only going in office once a month. My children are all young so we aren’t gone all weekend at sporting events and spend most of the time at home. While I do not have a fenced yard directly tied to the house there is lots of room on site to explore on walks and get exercise. There is also a fully enclosed fenced paddock if they enjoy playing fetch off leash. Our furniture is pet friendly but we will respect your rules. A ranch level house so only a drop down step into the living rooms and a few off the back porch making this a smooth retreat for your little legged friend or senior dog.
