“We left our dog Toffee with Jenny and her family for 5 days while we attended a work conference, and we could not have asked for a better experience! This was our first time using Rover and leaving Toffee with someone we didn’t know, so we were definitely nervous at first. Jenny immediately made us feel comfortable with constant updates, pictures, and videos throughout the entire stay. Toffee had the absolute best time running around in her huge backyard, playing with her kids and her two dogs, and getting so much love and attention. It truly felt like he was treated as part of their family. You can tell Jenny genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing Toffee was happy, safe, and so well cared for. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be booking with Jenny and her lovely family again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Amanda was great to work with and took excellent care of our two cats. One of our cats is diabetic, and she had no issues administering his insulin. Our other cat is very shy, but by the end of Amanda's visits, she had even come out to see her. We will definitely trust Amanda with our cats again in the future.”

Would highly recommended her services!”

“Shelly was so great with my Vinnie. It was his first time staying with Shelly and he clearly had a blast. He came home happy but exhausted - perfect win. I'm so grateful Shelly was willing and able to care for Vinnie on pretty short notice - we will definitely be back :)”

“Our 3 dogs love going to Kara’s. They run in the door and barely look back at us. We know they’re having a great time by the photos Kara sends us during their stay. She takes wonderful care of them.”

About: I genuine care and give attention to every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with puppies who are still learning routines, including basic training and potty schedules, and I’m also gentle and mindful with senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or extra comfort. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I currently work only 2 days out of the week, but my schedule is very flexible, and can switch days if need be! Will accommodate I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable and follow the routine they’re used to. In a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention so pets feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and make sure pets stay on their normal schedule. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean environment with supervised play, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of affection. I always pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and any special instructions from the owner to make sure they feel happy and cared for.
“Hi Elizabeth, I just wanted to say thank you for taking such great care of Fox! I really appreciated the updates while I was away. It’s clear you gave her lots of attention and care, and I could tell she was happy and comfortable with you. I’d absolutely trust you again and would happily recommend you to others. Thanks again!”
“Cynthia was amazing with Popsicle. She really looooves dogs, and she treated Popsicle like family. Popsicle gets so excited when she sees Cynthia! Cynthia sends beautiful photos and the cutest ‘pupdates’ I’ve ever read. Can’t recommend Cynthia enough and have booked her on a recurring basis!”

“We are very grateful to Tracy. She took care of our adolescent dog with his first experience with daycare. We had a sudden family emergency that required someone to look after our pub. She was open and communicative which was very helpful. Would recommend to others.”

“Our pup had so much fun with Alyssa and her dogs! We were nervous using Rover for the first time but Alyssa was communicative and responsive with us throughout the entire process! Ada can’t wait for her next visit :)”

About: I try to provide training for your dog using simple commands and treats. I have a corgy. He likes eating poop, so I am firm with him but lovely. I believe I take my time to rub his belly or play with my dog before feeding him or going for a walk. I always keep treats and bags. I currently have a job from home, with a flexible schedule. I always go outside for walk 10 to 20 minutes o play with tennis ball. I used to go outside 2 or 3 times a day. In the morning the firts walk is longer. I have many different toys and a medium-sized blanket if he needs to rest. They can also go on my couch. If he needs more privacy, I have a big cage with blankets and pillows. I live in an apartment with 2 beds to a bath.
“My little Westie loves Suellen and her two sweet dogs. They treat her like one of their own. It's great for me to be able to drop her off for the day, knowing she'll have fun and be safe.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages since I was a child! I grew up on a farm and have had Rottweilers, Pitbulls, cats, horses, and lots of animals of various sizes in between. I love all dogs and cats from chihuahuas to Great Danes and would love to care for your pet as well :) I currently work 3 days a week so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available 4 days out of the week and will have those 4 days off to devote to your pet! I live right on the Katy Trail and walk there everyday. I have no pets of my own so there’s no need to worry about negative interactions. I am also willing to take your pets to any appointments they may have!

“Toffee and truffle had a wonderful time at Lorelai and Kayla’s place. They sent lots of pictures and were very accommodating with regards to drop off and pick up times.”
“Emily made us feel extremely safe leaving our pup, Tyke, with her! She had a basket full of toys ready to show him & her home felt so cozy & welcoming. I could tell our pup felt safe with her right away & wasn’t stressed during drop off or pick up Thank you, Emily!”

“Tony watched my dogs for a couple days in a row and he was great! He is very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the day. Will definitely request services through him again in the future.”

“Julie was very friendly and accepted our booking late the night before we needed her to look after our dog. She took great care of Truffles and sent us plenty of photos throughout the day.”

“We are looking to find someone to board Ollie with for weekends. To start him out slow (he has separation anxiety), we had a Meet and Greet, a short (3hr) stay and later, a full day stay. Julie was clear that her dog Zilla's comfort with Ollie was a priority, which I fully support. I won't want to trust my dog to someone who isn't looking out for ALL the dogs involved. Julie was very responsive with messages, showed us around her home and yard and was generally very calm and patient. While the dogs didn't end up getting along well enough for this to work out long term, Ollie warmed up to Julie and was definitely as calm as I've seen him after being left.”

About: As a 19-year-old sitter, I offer compassionate senior pet care and puppy training experience, ensuring patience, energy, and dedication to keep your pets happy and healthy. Pet care is a joyful part of my daily routine, giving me purpose, structure, and happiness. I love making time for walks, play, and cuddles! I care for pets by following their feeding and exercise routines, providing fresh water, administering medication if needed, offering lots of love, and keeping their environment clean and safe.
About: I have lived with and cared for dogs for over 20 years. Past volunteer at the Humane Society to walk dogs. Comfortable with many different dogs. We have flexible schedules which allow us time at home to care for other dogs along with our own. Love playing with and walking dogs! The kids really want more dogs, so this will be a great way to ‘give’ them more dogs! We have two fur babies that love playing and lounging in the sun. The kids enjoy running in the backyard and playing fetch with them.
“Rachel was so great to my puppy when she came over to let her out in the middle of the day, on multiple occasions. She understood her puppy needs and took such great care of her. Rachel sends fun and informative pictures, so I always felt like my puppy was getting the care and attention she needed.”

“Ernst is super friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. We have 70 lbs adolescent pup who has a lot of energy to give. Ernst is great at keeping our pup in line. I already notice an improvement in our pet’s loose leash walking!”

“My dog loves Hannah! She is reliable and always shows up on time! She makes sure to let me know if she uses the bathroom and is overall very good at what she dos and I highly recommend her!”

About: I have 2 large rescues that have been a part of my family for the last 9 years. When I lived in apartments, I helped watch other neighbors' dogs and always enjoyed getting to know them and learn about their routines, hobbies, and quirks. While my family never had a dog growing up, I love being around them now and could never go back to a life without them! Since I work part time at a local farm, and am only just getting my own farm up and running, I have a relatively flexible schedule from week to week, especially during the winter, early spring, and late fall. I am thorough when it comes to taking care of my dogs' health and safety, as well as the health and safety of all pets that are in my care. I am always vigilant about traffic while walking dogs near any roads, and am always careful of walking them near other animals. When in another's home I am respectful of boundaries and rules and always clean up after myself or any messes that a pet may make.
About: What sets me apart is my dependable, loving care. I treat every dog like family, giving patient attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of love. I work mornings in retail, finish later in the afternoon so I am free later in the day. I enjoy being active, but always plan my schedule around pets to ensure consistent, loving care. I adapt to each pets needs. I grew up with cats and dogs, and provide walks, cuddles, space if needed, plus updates, photos, and lots of love, care, and attention.
About: I have done petsitting (cats and dogs) for over 15 years. Usually for animals where I personally know the owners and have spent time with the animal to create a bond/relationship. I want to full disclose with new perspective pets parents: I have a full time, in-office job with the standard business hours, Monday through Friday. If that's not what you are looking for in a house sitter, I understand. If I had a pet of my own, I would ensure all their needs are met. As a petsitter, I would to ensure their animal's life doesn't change or I could make it better in some small way especially since their parent(s) is gone I stay at the animal's home to care for them so their life isn't different than what it usually is for them. Changing their environment can be quite shocking and stressful to them. I try not change their lifestyle too much while the parent is gone

About: I love caring for animals! I have always been asked to care for pets when my loved ones, friends, coworkers, or neighbors are away. I make homemade dog treats with my dogs and I’m sure they will share! I have cared for all ages of dogs, all needs of dogs. If your dog is friendly, and you would be interested in letting them play with my dog Ozzie to wear out some energy, that is an option as long as they can meet first! Nothing beats a middle of the day play date! I can be flexible in my schedule but sometimes it changes fast, I promise to keep my schedule as up to date as I can. When I am not caring for pets, I work full time as an RN. Please note all my rates are negotiable. I do work 12-13hr shifts full time as a RN. With that, I promise to be upfront and honest about my hours so we can figure out additional care if needed. My schedule varies every week so I often have free time during the week. I work every 3rd weekend. I can come by and spend time with your pets, I can take them for walks, make homemade treats with them, or just give them belly rubs and ear scratches! Let me know what you need so we can work it out.
About: I worked 8 years, almost 9, and The Dog Hut LLC. I've helped care for dogs as young as 2 months and dogs well into their senior years. I'm happy to give medication to any dogs that need it and make sure they get extra cuddles and someone to "talk to". I am also very open to more than just dogs. I worked for 4 years at the Dane County Humane Society caring for Guinee Pigs, rats, and a non venomous snake. I am currently between jobs so any day works well for me. I'm happy to come late morning and well into the night to feed, water, and play with your pets who need that. Or just lend a happy presence, for the cats and cat-like pets who just need a simple hello. At my home I do not have a fully fenced in yard but am within walking distance of a few paths so even if your dog will be on leash they will get a wonderful walk in. Bringing their own toys and comfort items will be needed as I only have a cat currently. Also your dog must be cat friendly or will need to have a kennel brought with them should they be staying. I am okay staying over at my client's place should the need arise, can give medication and will give them all the playtime and snuggle breaks they need. I will be wary of weather changes so I can give them quick breaks outside and make sure they still can get energy out should it be an inside kind of day.

About: I am a life long dog lover who lives with my husband, 3 children (ages 3-10) and our 1-year old female mixed breed. In the past, we have had several dogs and cats. We enjoy playing, walking and cuddles with our K9 friends. I am mostly available, depending on current schedule, time of year and dogs temperament. We prefer dogs 35lbs and under. We would enjoy stopping by, walking your dog or housing your dog while you are away. Our family especially enjoys having new pups visit, so we are thrilled to be able to provide this service for you, your family and your K9 family member. Please contact me for specific requests for your needs. We look forward to meeting you and you pup!

About: I am currently working from home with my with my 10 year old puppy. My husband works out of the house, and my kids go to school during the day. I love going on long walks and playing catch in the yard. When your dog stays with me, they will have they certainly won’t feel alone! If you’d like your dog to have more interactions with other dogs, I would be happy to bring our dog, Bailey, on our visits to your home (or I can leave her home). I am looking forward to getting to know your pet and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or concerns. I work from home on Tuesdays & Fridays, which allows me time to care for animals during that window, or on the weekends as well! I have a fenced in yard that would keep you pup safe for potty breaks. We have a 10 year old dog who loves to cuddle up on the couch and play tug of war too!
About: I’m all of my friends and families first choice to watch their pets when they are out of town. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds of dogs and many cats as well. I’ve always had dogs in my life growing up so I’m very familiar with reading their body language and knowing how to care for them. I work full time but have a lot of flexibility to check on your pet throughout the day and have the opportunity to work remote as well I’ve never a met a pet that didn’t like me. I’m very good at reading dogs body langue and knowing what they need. Cats also like me and I’m good at reading their body language as well
About: I will absolutely spoil and love your pets like they are my own! I am a recent graduate from UW-Madison in Wildlife Ecology where I gained animal experience. I also graduated from Madison College with an Associate Degree for Veterinary Technician. I worked in the veterinary field for over a year before attending UW-Madison. I take pride in my ability to care for animals and the love I have for them. My schedule is currently completely open to take care of and spoil all the pets I can. I have a Chocolate Labrador named Jake that would need to come with me when house sitting. He is good with dogs and cats. I might not have a fenced yard, but there is so much space near my apartment for dogs to play and run. There is also a trail close by that I have taken my dog on, which she loves. I have a truck that can transport them. If I am caring for pets in the client's home I have no issue with taking them out to play or on walks. I absolutely love being around pets.
