“I was gone for 10 days and was nervous about leaving my dogs. They had fun making new friends and were well taken care of. Thanks to Melissa for the great job. She reassured this nervous mama via text and let me know my girls were doing great. She even reported that my picky eater ate!”
“For a recent week - long vacation, we left our 3 year old golden doodle with Jeff. This was our first time using Rover and leaving her in someone else's home. After an initial meet and greet, we felt very comfortable with Jeff and Ember loved his fenced in yard. We liked the photo and written updates we received while vacationing. Jeff provided daily walks and outside time. He respected Ember's schedule and tried to maintain her schedule. In addition to our toys and treats, he also provided some. We will definitely use Jeff's boarding for future get aways.”
“Shana is amazing with our cockapoo. She treats him like he’s her family and sends me daily update and pictures. Gary loves going for sleepovers whenever we go on vacation. Definitely recommend”
“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!!”
“Kristin was amazing with our dog! Her family truly took care of him like he was their own. Our pup got lots of exercise, tons of snuggles and had his own vacation on the farm. Kristin sent us regular updates, so we were able to see how much fun he was having exploring their land. I’d highly recommend her care and will be bringing our dog back in the future!”
“My older pug sounds horrible when he breathes, but we are used to it and didn’t give Melissa enough information. She made sure we knew Harley wasn’t settling in very good and she was concerned. After sharing some ideas, they all settled down. Jelly Bean, my young pug, was entertained all weekend and both came home healthy and Happy! She is set up well for caring for our babies!”
“Kristal and Scott were really great sitters. My Sophia was well taken care of and loved by them. She sent me updates on her and pictures almost on a daily basis. I would recommend them and use them in the future.”
“Denise and her whole family are fantastic!! Our dog Miley loved her stay. I highly recommend Denise to anyone who is looking for a kind and compassionate dog sitter!!”
“Anu and her family could not have been more amazing and helpful with my Husky! We had to travel last minute and Anu and her family were there for us last minute so I didn’t have to board our dog. We are so grateful for her great communication, lovely family, abundance of updates and photos, and the unmatchable peace of mind we had while away. Thank you Anu and your amazing family!”
“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.”
“Cass was very good to our fur babies! I have two poodles, one of which is two years old and one that is almost a year old so still a puppy, and she did absolutely wonderful with them. Between the several updates and many pictures, I was put at ease knowing that my babies were being well taken care of. With lots of play, love, and walks they were happily exhausted by the time we picked them up from a fun filled weekend. I would recommend her if you want someone diligent and attentive to your dogs while also giving them many opportunities to have fun and enjoy the outdoors.”
“Colleen was amazing with our senior dog Max! He can be a nervous Nelly in new situations but she was able to settle him. Colleen seems very kind, has a genuine love for animals and seems patient! Highly recommend!”
“Bobbie is amazing. This was Sophie’s first overnight and I was so nervous. Bobbie sent pictures and kept me informed on how Sophie was doing. Because Bobbie is so good with dogs Sophie was comfortable and completely at home. I can’t say enough about how good Bobbie is. I will definitely be using Bobbie again for future trips. Thank you again for being so good with my Sophie.”
“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.”
“Brooke is so sweet and our dog Milton is so comfortable with her. It was his first time boarding with someone who isn't family and we're so glad it was with Brooke. Will definitely book again.”
“Cristy took excellent care of our goldendoodle, Luna. Luna loved playing with her dog Duke! They had great time running out the backyard and hanging out on couch. We really appreciated the pictures and updates.”

“Cassandra was fantastic! She stopped by the week before for a meet-and-greet and immediately sat on the floor to let our three dogs meet her. They took to her immediately. She provided lots of pictures and information when she came over, so we knew just how the dogs were. Highly recommended!”
“Christina has been blessing for me and my cats! - She is very sweet, gentle, caring and truly takes care of your cats as her own. Although I missed my babies when I went on vacation, I knew they were well taken care of and that gave me the peace of mind I needed to relax during my trip. She updates you regularly and is very good at following instructions. She even brought some toys for my kitties! Upon my return, I came back home to happy cats and a clean home! I highly recommend Christina and would hire her again!!”

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.
“Carly is great! She did drop in visits with my two cats while I was out of town for 4 days. She sent me a lot of pictures and videos during her visits. The kitties were so happy when I returned home and I felt great about letting them stay in their own home!”

About: Pet care for 20+ years! I have a true heart for animals and a passion for exercising with them to promote their physical, mind and spiritual health! I will love yours like my own!❤️ I work full time M-F in pediatric health care and take care of our animals before and after work. I am also free most weekends! My husband works from home and has a flexible schedule during the day. Our daughter (11 years old) also loves to help with the animals! We are an outdoorsy, nature-loving family! We love to walk the dogs in the neighborhood and let them play and sniff all over our large yard. We currently have 2 dogs living with us - Oreo, a terrier, and Duke, a tripod yellow lab! Both are friendly rescue pups:)
About: Growing up on a small farm, we always had cats (good mousers), which we as kids were responsible for - feeding, cleaning & playing. As an adult, I've had several cats that were wonderful companions and lived pampered lives, to old age. Currently, I'm fostering my sisters cat (she's indoor/outdoor) with lots of personality. Her box gets scooped 2x/day and she's spoiled with 3 feedings/day. Each cat is different and I love getting to know their personality and playfulness. If medications are needed, I have experience with that, too.

“Melissa was wonderful! Her family was incredibly sweet, and my dog had an amazing time. She came home happy, relaxed, and completely tuckered out. Melissa has a fenced-in backyard which made lots of outdoors time accessible and she sent photos and updates throughout the day so I knew how things were going. She was very communicative from the start and set up a meet-and-greet beforehand, which helped me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. It’s clear that she provides a safe, positive, and peaceful environment for the pets she watches. I would absolutely book with Melissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
About: I've always had dogs in our family and sense getting older continue to love them. I handle all the training for my dogs and even do bikejoring with them! I frequent the local dog park weekly and go on frequent walks as well. I have a large fenced in area (and an electric portion on top to defer dog nappers!) With free access of water and feedings twice a day (or more if your dog needs it!) your pups will feel right at home with me. I have basic first aid knowledge and did complete a semester of vet tech in collage so I can handle pretty much anything from pills to injections. Your dog will be treated like family and thus will get better treatment than most humans! LOL I’ve been running and maintaining my own business as a handywoman for the last few years but miss the interactions with other dogs! My schedule is very flexible for that reason. As stated in a previous section I have a fenced in yard with free access of fresh water and feeding done twice a day. My dogs are both house trained and crate trained. They also are great with other dogs. In my fenced in backyard it’s about 90% privacy fence and is currently in the process of being cleaned up after the pool had a leak and ruined a lot of the stuff we had back there including a jungle gym for the dogs.
“Kristin was a really great! Quick to respond, great communication, and the meet and greet was very helpful. She took great care of Barley for day care and he seemed very happy when we picked him up. We would absolutely return to Kristin if we need coverage when we're in town!”
“Always a joy to have Shanna watch my little Doodle. She takes care of him so well. His little tummy was upset so she made him some chicken amd rice to settle his belly. She asked me first.to see if it was ok. Love having her with my dog”
“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!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my home all my life!! Just looking to hang out with some pups and help out! Dog has to be good with a baby in the house and another dog. We have a mini Australian shepherd. Dogs will get walked at least 2 times daily! I am fully available weekdays and weekends! I do not leave the house for more than a couple hours at a time and would love to take your dog with me for car rides if I leave when possible! I will take excellent care of your fur baby! I can let them out as many times as preferred and I am okay with any kind of feeding schedule!
“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!”
About: I’ve been around dogs, cats and other pets my whole life. I grew up on a hobby farm and have over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all ages—from kittens and puppies to seniors. I currently have two dogs of my own and know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Since I work from home, I’m able to be flexible and give your pet the attention they deserve, whether that’s regular walks, check-ins, or just some extra company during the day. I’m also a clear communicator and will always keep you in the loop while you're away. Looking forward to getting to know your pet! I work from home, so I am flexible about what time of day I can drop in on your pets. I can also bring my computer and work from your home if needed. Weekend availability varies but I keep my schedule up to date on Rover. I take care of pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment. I'll follow the routine you provide—whether it’s feeding, walks, or medication—and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, double-check doors and gates, and always keep you updated with how things are going. Whether it’s a drop-in, walk, or overnight stay, you can count on reliable care and clear communication.
“I feel so comfortable leaving my pup with Melissa. My pup has such a good time and always comes home tired from playing all day! Would recommend, have used her more than once, and will definitely use her in the future.”
“I couldn’t have been happier with the care and attention Breanna gave to our pets. The whole process was so easy and Breanna was very accommodating. She sent pictures and messages to let me know how our babies were doing and allowed us to have a great day without worrying about our pets. She is a very sweet girl with an obvious love for animals. An overall outstanding experience; I would highly recommend her!!!”
About: My Journey in Animal Care: Personal and Professional Insights My experience in animal care combines both personal passion and professional expertise. For more than 20 years, I've had the joy of owning pets with scales, feathers, and fur. On the professional front, I have been involved in pet grooming, boarding, and veterinary clinics. Currently, I serve as a large animal equine veterinary assistant. Living on a farm in the countryside, I don’t have any dogs or cats, which means your beloved pet will receive dedicated, personalized care. I have a very flexible open schedule to suit your needs of finding a pet boarder. I am available weekdays or weekends. We can communicate if there is any changes. Most of the pet parents I work with provide me with thorough instructions for caring for their pets. I encourage clients to arrange a meet-and-greet with me before their pet's stay to discuss all details and address any health concerns. Furthermore, I want the pets to feel completely at ease with both me and my home prior to their stay.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who recently retired, and I’m looking to fill my days with some extra puppy love. My pup, Cullen, and I are a duo that loves company. Since I’m home throughout the day, your dog will have constant supervision, plenty of backyard time, and all the belly rubs they can handle. We’re looking for friendly companions to join us for neighborhood strolls and afternoon naps. Your pup won’t just be "staying" here—they’ll be part of the family! Since I am retired, my schedule is completely dedicated to pet care. Your dog will enjoy 24/7 companionship and a consistent routine, as I am home full-time to provide potty breaks, backyard play, and plenty of cuddles. Cullen and I are very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and we look forward to a Meet & Greet to ensure a perfect match! We offer a fully fenced-in backyard featuring a beautiful koi pond. To ensure a safe and harmonious environment for everyone, I look for guest dogs who have a solid foundation in basic obedience and a 'gentle' temperament around water and wildlife. My own dog loves making new friends, and I prioritize active supervision to ensure all 'fur babies'—and my fish—stay happy and safe!
“Olivia had great communication and flexibility with drop off and pick up times. My dogs were very happy and pooped out from playing all day. I most certainly would have Olivia take care of Daisy and Theo again.”

It was clear she loved and cared for him as if he were her own, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away at the Packers game. She kept us updated with pictures and made sure Maverick had everything he needed — including lots of love and snuggles! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and who truly loves animals. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy!”

About: I am very proud to be a "fear free handler". That's a big thing for me, if an animal is uncomfortable, I am 100% uncomfortable along with them.. learning their little quirks and finding ways to do things in the best way possible for that specific animal is what I do and I absolutely love doing it. I promise your animal will be cared for deeply while in my care. My passion has always been working with animals, providing them with the care and respect they deserve and I have extensive experience in the field. I’ve worked in horse barns, animal shelters, and dog boarding facilities, and I’m skilled in administering all types of medications, including insulin. Whether it’s feral cats or reactive dogs, I have the patience and expertise to help them adjust and thrive, including building trust with new people. I understand how intimidating change can be for animals, and I’m dedicated to making those transitions as smooth as possible. I’ve dedicated countless unpaid hours to caring for animals, driven solely by my love and commitment to their well-being. When you entrust me with your pet, I promise to care for them as if they were my own, providing compassion, patience, and unwavering dedication in every situation. I am pretty open with my schedule. I will love your babies like my own. I do work mon-thurs 3-9pm and Saturday 11-4. I am a perfectionist. If you tell me you want something done in a specific way or at a certain time, please let me know!! I'd be more than happy to jump through hoops to give your baby(s) what they need when and how they need it. I will put your animal above everything else, that's what I'm paid for and that's what I love doing.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring animal lover with a lifelong passion for pets.

I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine.

I make sure pets stay on their regular routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and lots of love and attention. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and independent. I also make sure the home stays clean, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.

“I was gone for 10 days and was nervous about leaving my dogs. They had fun making new friends and were well taken care of. Thanks to Melissa for the great job. She reassured this nervous mama via text and let me know my girls were doing great. She even reported that my picky eater ate!”
“For a recent week - long vacation, we left our 3 year old golden doodle with Jeff. This was our first time using Rover and leaving her in someone else's home. After an initial meet and greet, we felt very comfortable with Jeff and Ember loved his fenced in yard. We liked the photo and written updates we received while vacationing. Jeff provided daily walks and outside time. He respected Ember's schedule and tried to maintain her schedule. In addition to our toys and treats, he also provided some. We will definitely use Jeff's boarding for future get aways.”
“Shana is amazing with our cockapoo. She treats him like he’s her family and sends me daily update and pictures. Gary loves going for sleepovers whenever we go on vacation. Definitely recommend”
“Kristin was amazing with our dog! Her family truly took care of him like he was their own. Our pup got lots of exercise, tons of snuggles and had his own vacation on the farm. Kristin sent us regular updates, so we were able to see how much fun he was having exploring their land. I’d highly recommend her care and will be bringing our dog back in the future!”
“My older pug sounds horrible when he breathes, but we are used to it and didn’t give Melissa enough information. She made sure we knew Harley wasn’t settling in very good and she was concerned. After sharing some ideas, they all settled down. Jelly Bean, my young pug, was entertained all weekend and both came home healthy and Happy! She is set up well for caring for our babies!”
“Denise and her whole family are fantastic!! Our dog Miley loved her stay. I highly recommend Denise to anyone who is looking for a kind and compassionate dog sitter!!”
“Anu and her family could not have been more amazing and helpful with my Husky! We had to travel last minute and Anu and her family were there for us last minute so I didn’t have to board our dog. We are so grateful for her great communication, lovely family, abundance of updates and photos, and the unmatchable peace of mind we had while away. Thank you Anu and your amazing family!”
“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.”
“Cass was very good to our fur babies! I have two poodles, one of which is two years old and one that is almost a year old so still a puppy, and she did absolutely wonderful with them. Between the several updates and many pictures, I was put at ease knowing that my babies were being well taken care of. With lots of play, love, and walks they were happily exhausted by the time we picked them up from a fun filled weekend. I would recommend her if you want someone diligent and attentive to your dogs while also giving them many opportunities to have fun and enjoy the outdoors.”
“Brooke is so sweet and our dog Milton is so comfortable with her. It was his first time boarding with someone who isn't family and we're so glad it was with Brooke. Will definitely book again.”
“Both my dogs had a great time with Rebecca and her family over the weekend! She was very good with communicating updates and I loved hearing how much fun they were both having, especially with their other dogs!”
“We loved working with Kimberly. She watched our dog for the first time and suggested a meet and greet to make sure she was a good fit with her own dog. We loved that and it made us trust her from the start. When we met her, Kimberly asked us many questions about our dog that made us feel like she would take very good care of her. Also, Kimberly’s home is quite literally the perfect set up for dogs. We know that our dog loved staying there and we enjoyed the updates Kimberly sent us throughout her stay. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Kelley was great mom dog for our Golden Retriever Riley. She sent updates & photos during his stay & helped us out by keeping him an extra day when our flight was canceled. I would recommend her & would use her again.”
“Holly and her family are the best thing that could've happened to our 2 pups when we went on vacation! They truly treat them like they are part of their own family, and we received updates and pictures every day. We appreciate them so much for taking such good care, and we'll definitely be using Holly again for pet sitting. 1,000/5 stars!!! ❤️”
“Mackenzie and her doggie Wilson were awesome! Instant connection with our elderly dog and you can tell she is a total dog lover. Sent fun photos every day and it was obvious our old gal was having a nice time. Mackenzie’s house is immaculate too, by the way. I highly recommend!”
“We have never boarded our cat before but needed to in order to allow for open house to be held at our home. Korri was communicative, kind, and fair in her pricing. She had an extra room available for our cat who doesn’t always get along with other cats which provided peace of mind leaving our 10yo cat. We received multiple updates and photos every day which further eased our minds. Would definitely book with Korri again!”
