“This is the 2nd time Bella has been at Monique’s and she is always well looked after. Monique is great at communicating whether it is while setting up the drop off/pick up or sending us pictures during her stay.”
“Yolanda is our family’s go-to sitter and we wouldn’t want it any other way. We get plenty of pictures and updates, while also given our space to enjoy a trip away and know our pup is happy and safe.”
“Cheryl and Josh were wonderful sitters for my dog Molly. They treated her as if she was their own dog. Cheryl was respectful of all the requests that I had made for Molly's stay. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures that Cheryl shared. It was a great comfort for me knowing that I did not have to worry about Molly while I was away on vacation. We will be booking with Cheryl and Josh again!!”
“Paul did an amazing job watching our pup! He "warned' us that he would try to exceed our expectations, and no question he absolutely did. We loved all the updates with photos, and the numerous offsite visits to parks was so fun to see. So comforting while we were such a long distance away. We'd recommend Paul to anyone!”
“Cari was wonderful with our girl Toast! Toast can be pretty anxious, and Cari really took the time to help her warm up and feel comfortable in her home. She gave Toast lots of attention, and her kids were so sweet with her, too. Cari sent us plenty of pictures, which helped us relax and enjoy our time away knowing Toast was being so well cared for. We also really appreciated how flexible she was. It was such a great experience for both Toast and us, and we would happily book with Cari again!”
“Would definitely recommend Amanda as a sitter! Easy communication, easy to book, I appreciated the couple check ins during my dog’s stay! My dog came back looking well taken care of, happy, and tired from her exercise! Will definitely be using Amanda again!”
“My dog had a wonderful time at this house and I received many pictures of her having fun. The family was also accommodating to our needs when we had some trouble getting back at the time we predicted.”
“Christiana and her family took excellent care of Nola while we were away. She sent daily pics & updates which made us feel at ease that Nola was being well taken care of and enjoying her stay. We will definitely have Nola stay again! ❤️”

“We definitely recommend Maria and Nayibe. We were constantly updated with photos and we could tell that our dogs were being well cared for and even pampered. We will be booking again!”
“Scott Ashley and their boys are a Godsend for me. Dixie is safe and I am able to relax and enjoy my vacation time. They treat her so well and she is a senior gal who is blind and almost deaf. I get photos throughout my trip and I really enjoy that. I would not leave Dixie with anyone else.”
“I feel great leaving my dog overnight with Sherry! I appreciate her eagerness to learn my dog’s needs and any specific instructions, and that she’s got a great yard to play in! Would highly recommend and return for care in the future.”
“Heather and family were great to watch our sweet boy while we were gone! She was easy to communicate with before and during the stay and sent wonderful photos while we were gone. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to others as well!”
“Gianina was a great host to Kona! She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend! She had a great yard for him to explore, and she took him on nice walks. We will definitely book with her again if we travel!”
“April and family were amazing! I was nervous at first, however quickly was at ease with all the updates and photos I received. They treated Allie like family and she looked so happy hanging out with them I wasn’t sure she would want to come home! Hahaha”

About: Hi, I’m Ellie! A little about me, I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals from cats and dogs to birds and snakes! And I’ve loved going above and beyond to care for them, for as long as I can remember. I have a 10 year old pup myself (Toby) that has helped me understand the dedication and commitment required when caring for pet; especially during a time that might be a bit difficult or confusing for them. I’ve also learned that each pet has their own personality and I will adapt my care to be able to provide exactly what your pet needs. In addition to pet care, I’ll also be able to provide other house sitting needs such as watering plants, gathering mail or anything else that may be needed.
“They did a wonderful job caring for my baby! It was my first time leaving my cat away from home and without me for over a week, so I was definitely nervous. He’s very high-maintenance, needy, and particular about his routine, but they went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. They listened carefully to his needs, provided excellent care, and communicated with me throughout my trip. The frequent updates and photos gave me so much peace of mind and reassured me that he was happy and doing well. They were incredibly welcoming and treated him like one of their own. I truly can’t thank them enough and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for pet care. Their home is perfectly set up for animals, including the ability to keep dogs and cats separated when needed, which made me feel even more confident leaving him in their care. I would absolutely trust them with my cat again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“If I could I would give her more than five stars Faith was amazing!!! Was able to connect before the visits to go over everything and she remembered everything and was so caring and kind to our cats. I found her very trustworthy and professional. She is now our new cat sitter HANDS-DOWN. very reliable and always responded within a minute if I would send a text. She sent us lots of pictures and spent a lot of time with her cats. I feel she went above and beyond and I am a very particular person when it comes to my babies. My cat Charlie is very nervous around anyone and she calmed him and made me not feel bad about leaving him because I Felt so comfortable with her taking care of him. I highly recommend her and will always book with Faith!”
“Ariel is an upbeat person and my three dogs really loved her during the meet and greet. On the day of her visit, she arrived on time, left me a nice series of pictures and the dogs didn't have problems when she entered the house or took them out. I will definitely book her again.”
“Grace is amazing! Very friendly & upbeat. She is quick in responding to messages & very flexible with scheduling our dog sitting. She is also very patient in getting to know our sometimes difficult rescue, Bingo.”
About: I have over 10 years pet care experience, 7 of which I have been specifically focusing on dog training. Understanding the minds of dogs and how they think requires a degree of skill and patience, along with consistent application of training techniques. This knowledge of how dogs thinks, interact, and behave helps in every aspect of dog care in itself. It makes every individual pet special because dogs have their own unique personalities, and being able to tap into that and create a bond is different from dog to dog. This is one of the best parts of taking care of people’s pets! Any of your specific needs and accommodations will be met and/or exceeded when in my care, guaranteed! I am a journeyman lineman and I work 4 days a week. Aside from that I own a dog training business where I train dogs on weekends. My wife Teal is home every day for any assistance in care for your dogs and we are both committed to giving the most comfortable and enjoyable stay for your dogs! Trusting someone with these members of our family can be stressful and hard to do at times. I understand better than anyone that giving my pets up to someone can be a daunting task. We need to trust our pets are given the same care they get at home and are loved like one of our own. In this household we have 1 cat and 2 dogs. There is nothing more important than treating your dog equally as good as one of our own. Between my wife and myself the pets we care for will receive our undivided attention and compassion. We incorporate tons of engagement and interactive play time. We are sure to see that these pets aren’t just alone and disregarded. My wife and myself strive to have an environment where animals can have a stress free and fun loving home to reside in until their owners make it back to them. Rest assured that I have been caring for dogs for many years, and training dogs for close to 7 now. You will not find a more loving and compassionate place for your dog than right here!
“If I could leave more stars I would! This was a first time for us hiring a sitter for our furbaby, and it worked out so much better than I could have imagined. Hannah was purrfect for us and really spent time with him and made sure he got the attention and love he needed while we were away. She was so attentive and caring the whole time, I don’t have to worry about him at all I knew right away he was in good hands. I really like the way the app works and the fact they can send pictures and videos and you know when they get there and when they leave. I will definitely be utilizing Hannah again when the times comes.”
“Heather did a wonderful job dropping in to help with my two cats while I was on vacation. She came over for a meet and greet beforehand to understand their needs and was even willing to put some jelly in my Oriole feeder during the week. She is reliable and trustworthy and I will definitely have her come over again!”
About: I've had my own cats since I was 11. Have had a total of 10 cats. Currently have 5 with my fiance. Ive had a few that have had some health issues and also have needed to administer meds for years. One of my cats I found in a local bar in 2010, she was pregnant and we had 4 healthy kittens. I still have the mom to this day! Write this better for rover Here’s a polished, Rover-friendly version that sounds warm, trustworthy, and professional: I’ve been a dedicated cat owner since I was 11 years old and have cared for a total of 10 cats over the years. Currently, my fiancé and I share our home with 5 cats, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple pets and their unique personalities. I also have experience caring for cats with health issues, including administering medications long-term, so I understand the patience and attentiveness that requires. One of my most special experiences was rescuing a pregnant cat I found in a local bar in 2010. She went on to have four healthy kittens, and I’m proud to say I still have the mom to this day! Caring for her and her kittens from the very beginning deepened my love and commitment to animals. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to provide them with safe, loving, and attentive care.
About: I’ve taken care of animals, my entire life. It doesn’t matter if it’s fish, rabbits, dogs, or cats. I’ve only had two cats. In my lifetime. However, I’ll tell you some stories about them. When I was younger, my parents had a farm cat named Misty. I learned how to take care of Misty at a very young age because Misty was around when I was born. I learned how to feed Misty, give Misty water, clean out the litter pan, and also just play with Misty inside of the house. Misty was a house cat and stayed in the house at all times. After Misty passed away, my family got a Maine Coon cat named Cowboy. Cowboy was approximately eight months when we got Cowboy and again, I learned the skills of taking care of Cowboy, no matter if it was feeding Cowboy, getting Cowboy exercise or cleaning out the litter pan. Cowboy was again an inside cat and I helped Cowboy exercise in the house by using a laser light to get Cowboy to chase it or even just petting Cowboy and giving Cowboy attention. Because all cats like to be petted and snuggle up with you, while you sit and watch tv. I would be happy to stop at your house and help with your cat along with letting them outside if they go outside. Have taken care of cats while owners are gone.
About: I spent 17 beautiful years raising and caring for my two family cats, navigating everything from playful kitten energy to gentle senior care. Combined with my professional experience starting at an animal shelter followed by employment at a pet store, I know exactly how to keep your feline family members safe, respected, and free of stress while you are away.
“This was my first time using any at home pet sitting service. I have one cat. Courtney did an awesome job watching my Sophie! Her drop in times were right on, and she and Sophie got along great! I would definitely recommend Courtney. She's awesome!”
“Sophie was wonderful with Reign! She came on short notice to let her out, play with her, and make sure she was fed and well cared for. She was dependable, caring, and gave us peace of mind knowing Reign was in good hands. We really appreciated her flexibility and how great she was with Reign. We will definitely be requesting Sophie again!”

About: Hello! My family and I love animals. We've been on Rover since January 2024! We currently have 2 indor cats and have backyard chickens (in coop) that are pets and lay eggs for us. We live in a quiet Hartland neighborhood in a cul-de-sac that is very low traffic. Part of our yard is fenced for play and potty breaks, and I love taking walks around our neighborhood. The majority of the week, my husband is working from home or I am home. The longest your pet may be left is 6 hours if staying with us during the work week. So usually someone is there to spend time with your pet! We are available any day of the week for boarding. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac. I always practice sit-stay when opening the door to prevent bolting out. Part of our yard is fenced and outside the fence your pet will always be leashed. If I am away for a short period and it's needed for safety or per your preference, we do have a large crate and an enclosed pet gate.
“Gianina watched my 7 month old puppy for 4 consecutive days. She was awesome to work with and each day my puppy came home happy, healthy, and tired. I truly appreciate her caring for him so well and I would absolutely book with her again in the future.”

“My dog Cooper had never stayed with anyone but family in his 5+ years so I did a lot of research before I chose Gilian for doggie daycare and I’m so glad I did! She was great at our initial meeting with Cooper and expertly assessed his personality and needs. I had immediate trust in her dog care knowledge and felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care. He had a great time at his first day and was totally tired out that night after playing all day. I look forward to many more fun daycare days for Cooper with Gilian!”
“Mary and Hanna are AWESOME! We were so worried about leaving our baby alone so we looked into other alternatives. Leaving him with them was the best choice we could have made. Loads of cute pics and the opportunity for him to socialize with other pups. Would completely recommend Mary and Hanna to anyone looking for the best pup care!??”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of sharing my home with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, a rabbit, birds, and even reptiles—so I’m comfortable with a wide variety of pet personalities and needs. My fiancé and I currently have five cats, and they keep life fun, active, and full of love. I have a deep compassion for animals of all kinds and all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve also taken in several strays over the years, helping reunite them with their owners or finding them safe, loving homes. That experience has made me especially attentive, responsible, and intuitive when it comes to animal care. I truly value time outdoors and believe regular walks and activity are key to a happy, healthy pet. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like one of my own—with love, attention, and respect. I work part time as a massage therapist this leaves lots of times available for in home pet care. My schedule can be open more then what days/times I have on my profile. Currently I'd be coming to your home to care for or walk your pet. If needed I could possibly board. I do have 5 cats, they sleep most of the day.

About: My name is Jacalyn, and I am a dedicated pet caregiver/house sitter in the West Bend area. When I’m not spending time with animals, I am a freelance artist working on long-term creative projects. Because my artwork is completely mobile, it makes me the perfect companion for your pets! I provide a consistent, calm presence in your home, ensuring your animals are never lonely, stressed, or left unattended for long periods. Specialized Experience & Skills: Unlike standard dog walkers, I have a deep, lifetime background in diverse animal care. You can completely trust me with your entire household ecosystem. Dogs: I grew up with a toy poodle in our home, caring for him when my parents went away. I would also house sit for our neighbor with medium-large dogs as a young adult. I have more recently house sat overnight for friends and my previous boss with two large dogs, providing structured feeding, walks, and plenty of play time. Small Pets: I formerly worked at a pet store where I was responsible for the daily care, feeding, and habitat maintenance of cats, dogs, birds, fish, rabbits and rodents. I also cared for my own pet mice, rats and rabbits over the years. I adore all animals, big and small. Animal Shelter Volunteer Roots: My love for animals started early—I volunteered at our local animal shelter with dogs and cats as a kid, learning how to handle different temperaments, walk the dogs, and keep environments clean and safe. If you have an animal friend that needs care while you're away, dog walking or a permanent home/vacation home that needs house sitting and check ups, don't hesitate to send me a message. I aim to provide the best care for your fur baby tailored around your work day, weekend plans, holiday travel, or seasonal vacations. My radius includes within 15 miles of West Bend.

About: I’ve grown up with numerous dogs and breeds my whole life and got one of my own, Benny, 5 years ago. There was rarely a time in my life that I was not taking care of or playing with a dog; whether it be my family dog or other. It’s a dream of mine to work more with dogs and this is my way to make it come true as I have summers free being a high school biology teacher! During the summer months I would be able to assist letting dogs out for bathroom breaks, playtime and/or walks. I would be able to work most afternoons. I take care of all pets as if they were my own, and my own are spoiled! I love these four legged friends and would only take care of others dogs the way I would want someone to take care of Benny.
“Brandi was great with my 3 dogs. She was on time. Was able to meet the dogs and I before the first day. There was an issue with the neighbors dog jumping my fence when she was out with my 3 dogs. She handled the situation very well! She sent me a lot of pictures also! I would have Brandi come back and take care of my dogs again!.”
About: I have been around animals, my whole life it doesn’t matter if it’s my pets, my friends, pets or even my families pets. I have had rabbits, fish, cats, and dogs. When I was first born and at a very young age, my parents had a cat named Misty. Misty was a farm cat, and I learned at the young age of how to take care of a pet and a cat. It didn’t matter if it was giving the cat exercise, feeding the cat, giving it water or even cleaning out the litter pan. I also at a young age at around eight learned how to take care of a dog as my family got a golden retriever. We got this golden retriever named Sam from Humane Society, and Sam was an older dog about eight years old. I learned how to take care of an older dog, feeding it, giving exercise and water, and of course playing fetch, because what golden retriever doesn’t like fetch. After these animals, I got a Maine Coon cat named Cowboy. Again I learned how to take care of Cowboy by feeding Cowboy, giving Cowboy water and emptying the litter pan along with playing with Cowboy. Cowboy was a bit younger when I got him and was about eight months old. After cowboy, I was Lucky enough to get a black lab as a puppy, named Lucky. I named Lucky Lucky because what dog is not lucky to have me as their owner to take them on runs! Lucky was about four months old and again a potty trained Lucky, took Lucky to training classes and also trained Lucky on my own at home helping Lucky to learn to sit stay and play. After Lucky I got a rescue dog named Dyno, Dyno was a rescue dog from a high kill shelter in Alabama and when I did a DNA test on Dyno, Dyno came out to be a black lab pointer mix with a little bit of terrier and boxer in her as well. Dyno was approximately four months old as well when I got her. I helped Dyno learn to be potty trained took her to training classes and train her at my house as well. I helped Dyno to learn, sit and stay, and also place along with playing dead. I recently just moved out of my house, and unfortunately Dyno had to stay with my parents, because Dyno doesn’t get along with other dogs as well. I did have to be very cognizant, while I took care of Dyno, to make sure Dyno did not injure or hurt other dogs, and keep Dyno safe as well, so I’m very good at making sure and keeping track of dogs when they’re along with other dogs so that they don’t fight. I am smart and know the signs dogs have if they are nervous, worried, or scarred. I moved in with my fiancé, who has a seven year-old golden retriever named Molly, and I am currently taking care of Molly. Molly is an unbelievable golden retriever dog, loves to go for runs and play fetch. If you have a dog that loves to go for runs or walks I will gladly take them for runs and walks to get my exercise in with them. What dog does not like to go for a run? Hope I can help you walk/run and take care of your animals just like I love to take care of my own! I am a police officer and have many days off during the week. So if you need someone to let your furry friends out while at work I am perfect for that. One week I work Monday Tuesday Friday to Sunday. I’m off Wednesday and Thursday the following week off Monday Tuesday and the weekend. In my professional life, I am a police officer, so not only do I take care of animals in my personal life, but also in my professional life when they are lost, and I need to get them back to the owner, or even dropping them off at the Humane Society so they are safe. Recently on the Snowmobile Trail. I actually found a kitten and was able to get the kitten to come to me so that it did not freeze to death in the woods and get it to a business near the Snowmobile Trail so that it could be returned to the Humane Society to stay safe . Based off of my schedule in my professional life of being a police officer, I have many days off during the week. So if you’re at work and need your furry friends to be let outside, I am the perfect person. As I have many off days on Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday while others are working. I can explain my schedule better however here is a break down. Week one. I work Monday Tuesday Friday Saturday Sunday. I am off Wednesday and Thursday Week two. I only work Wednesday and Thursday off the rest of the week. Even if you are home and you’re an individual that doesn’t like to go for runs or walk or are older, I could take care of your animal and let them out take them for a walk or run while you were at home as well, just to get them exercise, I would be happy to do that because then I get my exercise as well. On the weekends, I would be available most all the time as well, unless I am busy, but I would do drop in short notice type calls as well! With me working in the school during the school year, I have off days during the school year that your kids are off as well. So spring break I am open all day, or just even random days during the week they are off as well. So please keep that in mind. In the summer I am free at 2pm to let your dog outside. My schedule just changed and I work night shift. So I am available anytime during the day as long as I’m not sleeping. The days I work stays the same regarding off days and not. Right now I am not planning on having dogs or cats stay at my house with my dog Molly, so this is not something you need to worry about however, if I’m walking or taking your dog for a run, I would make sure to bring my light up light collar for your dog so that your dog is safe whether it’s dark out. If you have one I would use yours. This will make sure your dog has your collar on with its leash and keep your dog or cat safe.
