Personalized care for your dog or cat - Dotyville
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Dotyville
“Emma was awesome! She had our shetland sheepdog for over two weeks. We did a meet and greet to make sure everyone would get along. It went well and we were very comfortable leaving Nikki for a long time with Emma. Communication was fast for everything. Emma sent pics and an update almost everyday. Nikki was clearly enjoying herself. We would definitely have Emma dogsit Nikki again.”
“Emily and Bryan are incredibly nice, caring people who treated our lab, Jewel, like family during our long trip. They kept us updated with great communication and made sure she stayed active and thoroughly loved. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Jewel!”
“Russell had a great time at Lisa's house. He loved her kids and her dog and all the other friends he made. She treated him like family and I think he was sad to leave.”
“Robin is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! She cared for our Golden Retriever, Winston, for four days and kept me updated with plenty of photos, videos, and thoughtful messages throughout his stay. Winston is only a year old and still has plenty of puppy energy, so I especially appreciated all the walks, playtime, and engagement she provided. She was patient when he got a little testy and took her time introducing him to the other pups in her home so he could settle in comfortably. I also loved seeing her reinforce training in the videos she sent. It was clear she was putting real time and care into him, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her hands. We will absolutely book with Robin again, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Diane and Dale went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule and care for Oliver. He fit right in with their dog, Lexi, enjoyed the walks around the pond and was well-loved. I highly recommend them!”
“Chelsea and her family have been watching Bowser and Bali regularly and it is always such a comfort to know they are in such good hands while I’m traveling for work. They love coming over and runs to the door every time we get here. And Chelsea is so thoughtful in the way that she will help to make sure that the visit goes well. We could not recommend Chelsea more! She is amazing!!”
“Judy is awesome! She takes great care in understanding the routine for my doggy. They will make sure your dog is well taken care of and adjusting well. She is very responsive and sends me updates with pictures! 😊 Im happy to book my doggy's stay with her. 💕”
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! All animals will be fed and cared for by owners guidelines. For boarding in my home, I will safely introduce my dogs and if needed they can be totally separated! Whatever works best for your pet!
“Laura is the definition of a perfect rover. I left my golden retriever mix with her for 2 weeks this summer and she took such unbelievable care of our Miso. She welcomed her into her family and home. She was reliable, provided cute photos, brought her to a lake on a family trip and even dropped her off at the end. She was perfect and I can’t wait to use her again. For my first rover experience, this was a dream come true. Thank you Laura and fam!!”
“Rebecah and David were wonderful. They kept us updated and sent us pictures. Barry was in great hands! They gave him lots of attention, love and walks! We will definitely bring Barry back!❤️”
“It was just an overnight visit but the puppies are still exhausted! They’re must’ve had a great time 🥰. Cheryl kept in touch with verifying meds and letting me know they we’re doing great🥰🥰🥰thank you again!”
“Cathy and her family were amazing with our dog! She sent me pictures updating her stay. Our dog took well with her dogs, children and strangers during walks and her stay. We will definitely book with Cathy again!”
“Halligan was excellent! We brought both of our high energy golden retrievers while we were on vacation for 8 days. We met with Halligan beforehand and it helped make our goldens so comfortable. She did a fantastic job updating us every day with photos! We will definitely be bringing our goldens back anytime we go out of town!”

Cat caregivers near you - Dotyville
About: I’ve had contact with all kinds of different cats, dogs, birds, you name it! Animals are truly my passion and making sure that they feel loved and given the best life is all I want to do… I have experience with rescue animals as well as trauma animals with a lot of training and experience with patients and gaining trust.
About: I am eager to learn your dog and build a long lasting relationship! I enjoy training in a fun manner, and having dog parties! I do foster care with a local rescue, which has given me experience in so many different types of dogs, and different histories of where they came from. Full success in every dog that has come into my care. I do work full time during the day, Monday thru Friday. I am open to boarding during that time if we see fit. My weekends are wide open for all the dog love needed! I have a fenced in yard, but still usually attend to the dogs anyway, unless it’s too cold, I’ll watch from the door! I have a very dog friendly dog myself that has become accustomed to meeting new dogs and respecting their boundaries.
“When we had to be out of town all day, Alyssa was a godsend. She came over a couple times to let him out and play, and sent us the cutest photos of him having fun. We will definitely rebook with Allissa again!”
“Tammy was able to care for our cats with no issues. Weather was very hot when she cared for them and communicated with me about the temperature in the house and asked permission to open windows. Would definitely hire again.”
About: I used to be a certified veterinary technician in Wisconsin and moved to California in July 2019. I have a lot of experience working with dogs and I used to dog sit for some friends over night when I was in college. I grew up with several animals and am an absolute animal lover. Nothing is better than snuggling up and loving animals. I worked as a kennel assistant for a year before becoming a vet tech. I've handled multiple dogs at a time before and love playing with them all. I love all types of dogs and getting them active. I am available at all times of day. I can do over night stays to take care of your fur baby. I will take all the pictures you’d like to keep you updated about your pets stay. With my experience in a vet clinic I've learned to handle all ages, sizes, and different health issues of pets. I am currently a full time student but all of my classes are online so I’m home full time. So your pet won’t be home alone for long during the week. When your pets stay with me they’ll be able to play with my two huskies also. They are great with all pups and know when to give them a break and when to keep playing. I can't wait to make your fur baby feel at home! I’m currently unemployed so your pets will have plenty of attention and play time with me. They’ll have a great balance of play and relaxation. I have a fenced yard and two dogs to keep your pet company. They will get a ton of exercise with these two but they’ll also get a lot of snuggles and love too.
About: I have always had animals around in my life. Overall, I have had the pleasure of having 8 dogs, 2 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs, 1 hamster, and lots of fish (both freshwater and saltwater). Additionally, I have had the opportunity to care for the cats of family members. I have experience with: -Positive Reinforcement Training -Leash Handling -Muzzle Usage -Reactivity Training Guided by Licensed Animal Behaviorists -Veterinary Medication Administration Currently, I have one dog, Josie, who is an Australian Shepherd/Blue Heeler Mix. Josie is dog reactive, and I have spent an extensive amount of time working on her training and care. I am currently available to provide pet care Monday-Thursday from 4:30 pm - 9:30 pm. Oftentimes, I am also available to provide pet care at any time on Saturdays or Sundays. I have availability at any time during the day during these days in July 2026: 7/10, 7/11, 7/18, and 7/31. Since I have a dog at home who is anxious and reactive, I am not able to care for your pet in my own home; however, I would love to care for your fur baby where they are most comfortable -- in your home or in your neighborhood. I typically arrive with small treats in a pouch to share, ensuring my greeting is always positive. While at your home, I will ensure your pet receives exercise/play, multiple potty breaks, and refill water/food as needed. I believe in positive reinforcement, ensuring my interactions with your pet are always kind and respectful.
About: I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! I've trained my own puppy and attended several dog training classes, giving me a strong understanding of canine behavior and care. I also have experience caring for a senior dog who is blind, which has taught me patience, compassion, and adaptability. My goal is to give your pet exercise, companionship, and attention while taking the stress out of long days at home. I also happily care for cats and treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐕🐈❤️ Need a helping hand with your pet's care? I'm available for 30-minute walks during the lunch hour, as well as weekend walks, check-ins, and pet sitting. I'd love to help keep your pets happy, active, and cared for. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. During walks and drop-in visits, I provide exercise, companionship, fresh water, and personalized care based on your pet's unique needs. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, and daily routines to ensure consistency and comfort. For pet sitting, I work to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible while you're away, helping them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs, including a blind senior dog. I also care for cats, providing feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and plenty of affection. My goal is to give your pets a positive, stress-free experience and give you peace of mind while you're away. 🐾❤️
“Jessica was great! I am a self proclaimed over worrier and I felt very comfortable leaving my cats with Jessica. She was communicative and flexible to my requests which I really appreciated. We could tell from the pictures that our kitties felt comfortable being themselves and weren’t too stressed by our absence. We would definitely recommend her and will book her again for future services if she’s available.”
About: I've had a bit of experience with cats. Even the least loving cat has an affinity towards me. Not sure what it is, but they feel at home when I'm around. I always give them their space and do my best to treat them as their own individual.
“Lisa is fanstastic! Treats my kitties like her own. Keeps me updated throughout the visits. Would recommend her to anyone needing peace of mind as well as done to keep an eye on their furbabies.”
“Yolanda was wonderful. Very thorough. I wasn't afraid at all because I knew she'd be there to take care of KIDDEY! I would definitely suggest Rover to a friend and have them choose Yolanda”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dotyville
“Emma was great, she went above & beyond to make sure Indagos stay was great! She's so good with him. I'm so thankful she likes him & Indago liked her. I was worried being a blue healer with lots of energy. Only God could provide such a great dog sitter for him. 💛🐕💛”
About: I provide reliable, attentive care for dogs at every stage of life—from active adult dogs to seniors (up to 15+ years old). Every dog is different, so I tailor each visit to match their energy level, personality, and needs. For active dogs, I offer engaging, high-energy walks designed to burn off energy, reduce stress, and keep them mentally stimulated. I’m comfortable handling strong or high-energy dogs and making sure they get the exercise they need. For senior dogs, I take a calm and patient approach—focusing on comfort, slower-paced walks, and close attention to mobility and well-being. I understand how important it is to move at their pace while still keeping them happy and engaged. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and trust. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know your dog is in good hands. As a stay-at-home mom with a 3-year-old, I’m home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, consistent walks, and plenty of attention for your dog. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods—I’m available for regular outdoor time, play, and check-ins throughout the day. Whether your dog needs multiple walks, structured routines, or just extra companionship, I’m able to accommodate their needs. My daily routine is active and consistent, making it a great fit for dogs who benefit from frequent movement, supervision, and a reliable environment. Your dog will be cared for in a safe, loving home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and consistent care. We’re a very affectionate household—your dog can expect lots of pets, cuddles, and companionship from both me and my toddler (always supervised). I also have an older, friendly dog who enjoys meeting new friends and playing, but I can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone is comfortable. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine closely and can crate if requested. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority.
About: I have experience caring for animals of all kinds, though I can currently only offer in-my-home care to dogs. I have always had family pets growing up. I got my own dog when I was in high school. I currently own 2 well-mannered dogs, a hunting labrador and a scent detection pit-mix. I have more than 2 years of professional gun dog training experience, and have trained over 50 puppies/dogs. I currently work from home, so I will be able to accommodate any schedule your pet may need. My own dogs recieve 2 feedings per day (5am and 5pm). We often take a morning walk (typically no less than 1-2 miles, less if I am walking a young puppy or senior dog with mobility issues). Also evening walks if weather is appropriate. I do not allow my dogs to do strenuous activity or rough play right after a meal. The yard is not fenced, so dogs will be on leash or long-line and fully supervised when outside the home. For off-lead outdoor fun we will take trips to the local dog park (not a very heavily trafficed dog park, usually empty). I have experience providing oral and subcutaneous medication to pets, should your pet need medication while in my care.
About: We recently lost our senior dog, so we have lots of doggy love available for your pet! I work from home, so your pet will get lots of attention, frequent visits to the backyard, and a walk at lunchtime. I work from home full time, so I'm here to interact with your pet and provide frequent breaks for play and potty. My boyfriend gets home from work in the late afternoon and will shower your pet with affection as well! I have a small, unfenced yard and will let your dog outside on a long lead to keep him/her safe and under my supervision. Your dog will have access to kitchen, living/dining room, bathroom, and up to 3 bedrooms. Basement will not be accessible.
“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!”
“My dogs had a blast here. My husky usually cries when he is put in the kennel but once I got home and put him in there he fell right asleep. My golden also knocked out in the car and now in the living room. She updated me and was very kind overall. Would definitely book again! Thank you for taking care of my 2 crazy puppies.”
“She was AMAZING! Very flexible when we needed to last minute change from daycare to over night stay. Was great at communication and sending us lots of updates and pictures too! Would definitely book again!!”
About: Hi I'm Matt. I'm a big animal lover, and have been in the animal field for 15yrs working with all different types of wildlife. Have experience in giving vaccines(IM or SQ), oral meds, and basic care. I have since moved onto a new adventure in lawncare. I have been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with a German Shepherd, a purebred Samoyed, and a tabby cat. Currently, I have 2 beagle-shepherd mixes, Hunter and Holmes, who are 2 of the sweetest boys you will meet. We are often outdoors taking our daily walk, hiking local state parks, camping, or just working in the yard. I have always loved being around animals, especially dogs, and find that having them brings such happiness to life. The boys and I are together daily. I currently work typically Mondays thru Fridays sometimes varied or longer hours. However, we always make time to go for a walk daily, and on the weekends typically are out exploring. Hunter gets meds twice a day in a pill supplement as well as I trim their nails and baths occasionally. I currently rent a duplex that has a fenced backyard, and also have a spare bedroom and wire kennel if needed. Typically my dogs free roam during the day, and are good to be alone overnight or up to 10hrs which can allow me to spend time with your furry friend.
“Frankie was so nice. We met before the scheduled date. She gave a detailed and great description before the drop off time and made sure everything was fine. Riley came back happy.”
“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.”
“Preslie and her family were amazing and took such good care of our Ruby! They were so warm and welcoming, attentive and communicative. Our puppy came home happy and exhausted from all the fun playing with Kaiya. Highly recommend”
“You have a great place for a pup to hang out! Thank you for taking care of Duke, he must have had a great time because he’s all tuckered out! We hope you’re available next time we are in the area. Take care, and thanks!”
About: I grew up with farm cats and dogs in the house, and as an adult I’ve cared for fish and a lovebird named Taylor. I currently have three rescue cats and a rescue Corgi, Maggie. My pets range from 5 to 12 years old, so I’m comfortable caring for animals at different stages of life. Maggie came to me a year and a half ago weighing 59 pounds—nearly twice her healthy weight. She’s now down to 38 pounds, and watching her become healthier, happier, and more energetic has been incredibly rewarding. All of my pets are rescues, and I understand how important patience, consistency, and individualized care are. I’m currently between full-time positions, which gives me the flexibility to provide care for cats and dogs seven days a week. I offer drop-in visits, house sitting, daily dog walks, feeding, playtime, medication routines, litter box care, and plenty of companionship. I also welcome both cats and dogs into my home for stays, where they’ll have a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and provide personalized care based on their personality and needs. In my home, I have a small unfenced yard with two tie-outs for supervised outdoor time. I also provide an indoor grass patch to help reduce accidents inside. Dogs can sleep in a large kennel if they prefer one, or they’re welcome to sleep upstairs with me. Cats have access to a separate, safe room away from my cats and dog. They can choose whether to spend time with the other cats or relax on their own in their private room. To ensure every pet receives plenty of individual attention, I only care for dogs or cats who already know each other when accepting multiple pets at the same time, and I limit stays to two guest pets. I also have treat feeders for both dogs and cats, along with homemade treats. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll follow their routine and provide personalized care based on their personality, comfort level, and needs.
About: Hi there! I have had raised dogs and cats since the age of about 12. I love all animals and am now teaching my 2 young girls to love and nurture all creatures 🥰 we love dogs and cats and are happy to help u with all your pet care needs ☺️ I currently WFH in the evenings and me and 2 little ones love being out and about during the day, we would love to stop in and feed or walk your pets or have your pup come stay for the day to get lots of pets, love , and cuddles I live near menominee park in a lovely quiet neighborhood, I have a lead for outside and we have plenty of space inside. I do have 3 cats, when dogs are in our home they stay upstairs and I make sure they and the dog have the space they need.
About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets since I was 12 which includes staying overnight at their homes when they are gone for weeks. I do long and short care sitting for pets. I love to spend time with pets and making sure they get the care they deserve. I am currently not working right now but will have a part time job soon. I will talk with the owners and work out a good schedule that will work best for all. Growing up we have used an invisible fence and radio collars to keep our dogs in our yard. We made sure to check in on them periodically while they were outside. While I'm taking care of my friends pets, I would play inside and outside with them, go on walks with them, and make sure they get the best care.
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.
About: My husband and I have been watching dogs in our home for over 10 years. Our busy lives of work and family have always held us back from owning our own dog. To satisfy our love for dogs we started watching our friends and families dogs and over the years thru word of mouth we have started getting phone calls asking if we would take on more dogs and then joined Rover. We have experience with small to large dogs, dogs with special dietary needs, dogs that need to be able to run, dogs that want to sit on your lap, to dogs that have medical needs. We believe that dogs should be treated as part of the family. We allow them to sit on furniture, sleep in bed etc.. Our jobs have afford us the ability to be able to adjust our schedules to be flexible and have the option to work from home when we have a dog staying with us. This allows us to be home with your dog to ensure they are getting plenty of play time, outside time and lots of attention. It is very rare that your dog will be home alone for a period of time. Our home is your dogs home... we give the dogs full access to the house. We are non smokers and do not have any pets of our own or small children. We walk the dogs twice a day and have an acre of land that dogs are free to roam, run and play -we like to play ball and tug a rope. We do provide a ground stake with a leash for those that like to run "free". We have ability to work from home and have very flexible schedules when needed. Which in turn allows us to very rarely leave your dog home alone We treat the dogs just as if they were our very own pet.. as part of the family. They have free range of the house .. on the furniture and beds.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Dotyville
About: I grew up caring for the pets of family members and friends, including feeding, walking, supervising, and providing attentive care while their owners were away. I am currently attending college and have a flexible class schedule, with only two classes per day. This allows me to provide your pets with regular care, including letting them outside before, after, or between my classes. I prioritize your pet’s safety by keeping walks within your neighborhood and only allowing them to play off-leash in a secure, fenced-in backyard when available.
“Lisa is simply the best with dogs!! She takes time with the owner as was-informing them of how things went as well. Lisa has a kind heart, and my dog was immediately drawn to her😊”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old and have a passion for giving them the best life! I will treat your pet as my own, making sure they are well taken care of and happy. I'm always ready and willing to go for walks, give them approved treats, lots of play time and willing to give them medicines if needed as well! I am available most of the time!! I can be available for early morning walks, afternoon potty breaks, or weekend runs around the block! Pets are a huge priority in my life and I will make your pet one of my biggest priorities. I currently have three rescue dogs and one rescue cat. I understand that every pet is different in their comfort level with humans. I will work with your pet, at their comfort level, to ensure we create a positive and safe relationship. If possible, I'd be happy to set up play dates with other dogs as well! Leashes and harnesses are what I use for my pets, but I'm open to walking your pet how they walk best.
About: I absolutely love dogs of every size and breed. I’ve had both black lab, mini golden retrievers, chihuahuas, and beagles. At most i’ve taken care of three dogs at once all with medical needs. I’m working full time, but have a hybrid position so I can work from home to care and take dogs out for walks. I don’t work on the weekends and Fridays after 1pm as well. I live in an apartment but we have a nice big grass area with a man made pond in the center which gives dogs lots of area to run around and play in and around.
About: I have a mastiff and lab at home so I'm comfortable with walking small or large breed dogs. I can do drop in or walking . Retired after 26 years of working in law enforcement and am much happier spending my days helping with pets. I have a very open and flexible availability. I am not able to care for your pets in my home due to my mastiff being extremely territorial. I am comfortable doing drop in care or walking your pets.
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 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! All animals will be fed and cared for by owners guidelines. For boarding in my home, I will safely introduce my dogs and if needed they can be totally separated! Whatever works best for your pet!

About: My family has had a dog since I was younger and I currently have a mini goldendoodle. I understand how keeping dogs happy and cared for is vital to ‘owners.’ I have a very flexible and open schedule! I like to take my own dog for longer walks to get energy out and relax our minds together. I love playing with them so they’re not just sitting around unhappy. It’s important to me to make sure all of their needs are met as I believe this affects longevity and overall well-being.
About: I’ve grown up raising 2 toy poodles from my childhood. Now as an adult I adopted my first dog of my own, Mabel, who is an 5yr old lab! I also have horses, so have been around all sorts of animals my whole life. Love any and all sizes and breeds of pups! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible and can do last minute/short notice requests no problem! If you need me to spend a little more time with your pet, I can easily bring my work computer with me. I would treat your home as my own. Follow any/all rules you may have as well as rules for your pet. My dog is crate trained when away so I am comfortable having anything to do around crating.
About: As far as experience goes there isn’t a time in my life I remember that I wasn’t caring for an animal. From reptiles, to rodents, to cats and dogs, I’ve had them all. From a young age I was taught responsibility and discipline when it came to caring for tiny creatures. Additionally for over two years I volunteered weekly at a local animal shelter. During this time I gained knowledge as to how animals interacted with one another, how to properly administer medication, warning signs to look out for, what to do in emergencies, and deeply studied animal behavior. To add on to that I am currently employed at a doggie daycare. During my time here not only have I gotten to widen my horizons when it came to taking care of animals but I have learned hands on how to bandage a wound, what to do in animal confrontations as well as how to handle the unexpected such as sickness or seizures. Additionally over the last 3 years I have volunteered at different animal welfare programs across the globe. These include Portugal, Puerto Rico, Tanzania and soon Hawaii. During this time I have not only seen hands on other cultures way of taking care of animals but also gained knowledge as to how to better the animal care I provide to clients. As I previously stated I currently am employed at a doggie daycare. Additionally I work at a bakery as well. My schedule changes weekly so it can be hard to give an exact time frame when booking. Typically I work up to 8 hour shifts. I typically prefer to stay in clients homes to keep their pets safe and happy in their own environment. I will be there in the morning before work, and will immediately come back when I get off as well as being there at night. I try to spend as much time as possible with the pets while you are away I typically only offer staying in the clients home and I am comfortable crating animals while gone. I always keep things like medications safely out of reach and secured. Additionally upon booking I typically ask about any health notes, allergies, or special needs as well as a good contact number for your vet in case of emergency.
“Was awesome with my 3 boys while we were on vacation, they are large dogs and can’t seem to walk in a straight line and she took it in stride and they really enjoyed their daily walks!! 💕💕 Highly recommend!”
About: I've cared for puppies and senior dogs alike. I've been taking care of dogs my entire life and I am familiar with all breeds. From Daschund to German Shepherd I have been with them all.

About: I’ve grown up caring for cats and dogs and have always enjoyed spending time with animals. I have an active dog of my own who loves going on long walks, so I’m very comfortable keeping energetic dogs active and entertained. As a high-level athlete, I’m active myself and genuinely enjoy being outdoors, whether that’s walking, playing, or simply spending time with a pet. I’ve also helped neighbors care for their animals while they were away. Right now I’m training in Milwaukee and have practice at 3:30 so I can take care of your pet during the day but also after practice if needed. Would be preferred if I did at the clients house but I live in a apartment right now they have a dog park and sorts.

“Emma was awesome! She had our shetland sheepdog for over two weeks. We did a meet and greet to make sure everyone would get along. It went well and we were very comfortable leaving Nikki for a long time with Emma. Communication was fast for everything. Emma sent pics and an update almost everyday. Nikki was clearly enjoying herself. We would definitely have Emma dogsit Nikki again.”
“Emily and Bryan are incredibly nice, caring people who treated our lab, Jewel, like family during our long trip. They kept us updated with great communication and made sure she stayed active and thoroughly loved. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Jewel!”
“Russell had a great time at Lisa's house. He loved her kids and her dog and all the other friends he made. She treated him like family and I think he was sad to leave.”
“Robin is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! She cared for our Golden Retriever, Winston, for four days and kept me updated with plenty of photos, videos, and thoughtful messages throughout his stay. Winston is only a year old and still has plenty of puppy energy, so I especially appreciated all the walks, playtime, and engagement she provided. She was patient when he got a little testy and took her time introducing him to the other pups in her home so he could settle in comfortably. I also loved seeing her reinforce training in the videos she sent. It was clear she was putting real time and care into him, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her hands. We will absolutely book with Robin again, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Chelsea and her family have been watching Bowser and Bali regularly and it is always such a comfort to know they are in such good hands while I’m traveling for work. They love coming over and runs to the door every time we get here. And Chelsea is so thoughtful in the way that she will help to make sure that the visit goes well. We could not recommend Chelsea more! She is amazing!!”
“Judy is awesome! She takes great care in understanding the routine for my doggy. They will make sure your dog is well taken care of and adjusting well. She is very responsive and sends me updates with pictures! 😊 Im happy to book my doggy's stay with her. 💕”
“Laura is the definition of a perfect rover. I left my golden retriever mix with her for 2 weeks this summer and she took such unbelievable care of our Miso. She welcomed her into her family and home. She was reliable, provided cute photos, brought her to a lake on a family trip and even dropped her off at the end. She was perfect and I can’t wait to use her again. For my first rover experience, this was a dream come true. Thank you Laura and fam!!”
“Rebecah and David were wonderful. They kept us updated and sent us pictures. Barry was in great hands! They gave him lots of attention, love and walks! We will definitely bring Barry back!❤️”
“It was just an overnight visit but the puppies are still exhausted! They’re must’ve had a great time 🥰. Cheryl kept in touch with verifying meds and letting me know they we’re doing great🥰🥰🥰thank you again!”
“Halligan was excellent! We brought both of our high energy golden retrievers while we were on vacation for 8 days. We met with Halligan beforehand and it helped make our goldens so comfortable. She did a fantastic job updating us every day with photos! We will definitely be bringing our goldens back anytime we go out of town!”
“Had consistent updates and felt very comfortable leaving Furb with Hannah & Braxton B while we were on vacation. Furb said it went super well and already misses his new friends.”
“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.”
“Grateful she took my dog in for the weekend on such short notice. Easy to work with, hassle free. Open area for the dogs to run. I especially like that Kristen and her son spent time with her sending pics and checking in.”
“Cari and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Russell. He got lots of walks, plenty of play time, and tons of snuggles. He especially liked playing with the girls. Will definitely use her again.”
“Danielle is amazing!! I booked Danielle to watch my pup over my wedding weekend. My pup was the ring bearer in the wedding. Danielle dropped the pup off before the ceremony and picked him up after (even showing up early in case we needed her). All this time I directed her to talk to other family members for what she needed as I was busy doing wedding things. Danielle took my pup to the dog park 3 times over the weekend to make sure he wasn't bouncing off the walls during the wedding. I would definitely recommend booking with Danielle!”
“Lisa was awesome!! It was our first time leaving Toby with someone besides family, she was absolutely wonderful to Toby and gave us updates while we were on vacation. I would highly recommend!”
About: I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, birds, turtles, lizards, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I have experience with temperamental or reactive animals as well. Animals are my passion and both friends and family know they can rely on me to provide exceptional care, love and respect to their fur babies while they are away. No animal is too big or too small! I am currently unemployed and in the job searching process so I have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether you need dog walking services or in-home care I can more than likely make it work for your needs! I have a beagle/boxer mix who gets daily walks and has a big fenced in yard to enjoy at our home. I also have two cats, a classic brown tabby and a petite tuxedo girly. We are unique as we bring all of our animals camping so they get to experience the outdoors with us! My animals are treated like my children and part of the family which is exactly how I would treat yours. I honestly prefer animals over humans.
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 8, it started with a cat and grew to dogs and snakes and more, working with animals is my dream job. I work factory Monday through Friday but Friday night into Sunday I am available for pet care. I have 2 cats and a dog at my own home, but I am more than happy to dog sit at others homes. I make sure my cats litter boxes are kept clean, I keep their food bowls filled, and I keep their water filled. I walk my dog a lot and I take her out every couple hours to use the bathroom.
“Sparky had a great time at his overnight at Julie’s! He enjoyed playing with her other dogs and their toys. He loved all the attention and snuggles he got from Julie. I appreciated Julie’s proactive communication and all the pictures while he was there.”
