“Very accommodating for dog drop-off & pickup, and extending stay with day’s notice. Had a confident presence when we dropped dog off which left us assured of her experience.”
“Joe and Becky are great with our boys! Ruger and Sig love to go there and they are cared for as much as they are at home. The updates and communications from this sitter are comforting when they watch our pups.”
About: Hi there! I’m Destiny & have owned an array of furry friends over the years. I have never NOT had a pup and have owned many different breeds. Currently I own cattle dogs- an Aussie named Marley and Heeler/Collie mix named Sadie. They are 4, I trained them myself & they are extremely well behaved and socialized. I offer boarding, day care, dog walking, and can bathe your pup before returning them home to you. I can also pick up and drop off when needed. I can also house sit and pup sit if that is your need/comfortability as well. I am up for & encourage meet & greets before bookings if you would like to meet myself, the pups and/or see the house and our setup before hand! I work during the normal school year as a nursing instructor. I am off during the summer and am home FULL TIME to dedicate ALL of my time & attention to the fur babies! I promise your baby will be tuckered out, loved on and well fed (to your instructions of course!) Boarding at my home: safety is my top priority with animal to animal interaction and human to animal interaction. If pups need more alone time/privacy, they can be housed separately from my dogs at all times as we have multiple access points from our home to our fenced in yard and gate sectioning in our house. I do walks daily with them and am outside with them as well for the majority of the day. Our fenced in yard has a dog pool and I have BUCKETS of toys for them to play with! If your pup leans toward the spicier side & is more protective when it comes to their toys, food, or water please let me know and separation accommodations can be made, no problem. All breeds are different and each pup is different. I can also give medications topically, orally, injections etc. I can provide hourly updates through text, video call, phone calls, whatever you would like! At minimum I send a daily update. In your home: as a nurse, safety is always my top priority. I am also extremely clean and organized. I can maintain your daily routine with your pup so they don’t miss much while you are away. Again, meet and greets I encourage so you and especially your pup are comfortable meeting me and being in your home. I’ll be their make-shift auntie while you are away! Whatever update/care you want them to have, you got it- even FaceTime dates so you don’t have to miss them much.
“Elizabeth has a wonderful rapport with dogs! Our dog loved staying at her place. He was happy in every photo, and running around with the other dogs when we picked him up. All good signs! Thank you Elizabeth for Bandit’s fun weekend!”
“Our pup is turning 3 in June and we had never left her with anyone. We found Kessia and felt an instant connection. She confidently, but gently assured our pup and us that there was nothing to worry about, and her two pups instantly welcomed ours in playful banter. We have no concerns in leaving our pup with Kessia.”
“Our dog Zero had such a good time at Amanda's, we actually felt guilty picking him up! Amanda shared regular updates and photos, and, while she maintained Zero's normal routine of walks, meals, and sleep, the extra play and snuggle time the family gave Zero clearly made him one content, tuckered out pup. We would definitely bring Zero to Amanda's for boarding again in the future.”
“Our dog, Ozzy, did great at Jennifer's house for a week. He was happy that he had other dogs to play with and was well taken care of. We would definitely use Jennifer again.”
“Jake was great as always, our dog loves to stay with him. Jake sent photos and make sure our pup went for walks and had time in the yard. Would recommend him to anyone that will listen”
“Joseph was wonderful! He was very communicative and was able to take my dog on short notice which was so helpful. My dog came back and seemed like she had enjoyed her stay very very much. I highly recommend choosing Joseph as your dogs next caregiver!”
“Hadyn was amazing with our dog, Marley! She sent multiple updates and pictures throughout the day and took him for multiple walks throughout the day along with other engaging activities. She was such a great pleasure to work with and I highly recommend! We will definitely book again in the future! Marley came home happy and exhausted after his stay!”
“Kristy was amazing with my 1 year old Border Collie! He can be a handful but she sent me tons of pictures of him having fun all weekend! I trust her completely and know he was in good hands. He loved the backyard and playing frisbee with her!”
“8 paws way up!! My 2 dogs would highly recommend Chris and his crew for wearing them out and play, play, playing! Large fenced in yard and other dogs to socialize with - June and Carter will be visiting again!”
“Madeline was great at communicating and keeping me updated about Ponyo. She sent lots of photos and videos. It looks like Ponyo had a great time! I’m already scheduling my next sitting sesh with Madeline again.”
“Outstanding dog sitter We can’t say enough great things about Alison! From the moment we met, we knew Buddy was in the best hands. She was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. Having her dogs with Buddy was an added bonus as they got along great. Throughout the stay, we loved getting pictures and regular updates and thoughtful check-ins that gave me total peace of mind. We will definitely use Alison again!”
“I would highly recommend Tyler and Caitlyn to watch your dogs! They were very nice and attentive. Nice big yard for playing and seemed to really care about the dogs. We will definitely utilize them again when needed!”
“Amy and Brendan were amazing! They were very flexible and able to take Ponyo on short notice, which was such a lifesaver. Communication was great throughout—they sent updates and photos so I always knew how she was doing. Ponyo got plenty of outdoor time and came home happy (and exhausted!) after all the fun she had. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”
About: I have been relied on to care for friends, family, and neighbors pets since I was old enough to take responsibility. When I was 14, my helping of peoples pets started when I watched a family friends dog for 4 years during week days and occasional weekends. I worked at a doggie day care facility for 4 months at the end of 2021, doing all duties that go into caring for our furry friends. I went to college to get a degree as a Veterinary Technician for a year and a half. During the time of schooling I worked in a vet clinic and took on the job role as a kennel technician, helping out with anything and everything I could get my hands on. I dropped school because of personal and external obstacles but would love to go back in the future to finish. I only aim to please and never disappoint! Please choose me to be your pets new best friend! I'm currently working full time in Gilman WI, Mon-Thurs 630AM-4PM, Fri 630AM-1030AM. I am mostly available during weekends. The earlier you book with me, the better. I like to plan ahead. I try to be flexible and fit in your pet sitting needs! When caring for pets in a clients home, I am sure to make sure that I am careful when first meeting animals as I know it could be dangerous because of their protectiveness. I make sure to look over instructions twice, and double check that all to-dos are completed before leaving the clients home. I make sure to potty before I leave each time to avoid messes and make sure that they get exercise/attention during my time with them, as I know they feel down without someone home with them.

“Carissa did a great job befriending our hesitant, older cat, Mingus! I knew she was the right sitter when she posted a picture sitting on the floor behind the couch, which she had pulled away from the wall, to coerce him into being pet. By the second week, he was coming to greet her when she arrived. We would definitely have her sit again!”

Im the niece of a large animal veterinarian whose clinic I volunteered at after school and summers. Currently my husband and I are owned by a Labrador Retriever and an English Setter. We are active with a national English Setter rescue, which is where our beautiful boy came from, and run volunteer transports of dogs on their way to foster or forever homes. Im semi-retired!

About: Most of my friends call me an animal whisperer. I love pets and always have. Born and raised on a farm, animals are not new to me. I am pretty well versed in loving animals, as well as caring for animals as they deserve. I am currently home full-time, loving on my own 50 lb. Aussiedoodle, Hans. Hans and I would love to offer our spare time in support of your pet needs. I also am a guinea pig mom to 9 special guinea pigs! Animals are the way to my heart, and I can always make time for one more. Although it doesn't specify caged animals, like guinea pigs, I am happy to pet sit, board, or help with daily care of your caged pets. I do not currently have a fenced yard, but I live on open acres set apart from any close neighbors. Leashes can be used outside of the home to provide ultimate safety and security for your pet. I am always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

“Hadyn was so great to work with! We have an elderly cat and I get anxious leaving her when we travel. Hadyn was excellent with our instructions and provided me with updates (including photos) after each visit. I was able to enjoy our time away knowing our cat was in very capable and caring hands. I highly recommend Hadyn!”
About: While I’m relatively new to Rover, I have been a pet owner for cumulatively over 5 years of both dogs and cats. I currently have a 1.5 year old dachshund girl named Sage, a 14 year old senior dachshund named Buddy, and a 1 year old German Shorthair Pointer named Fin. As a dog owner, I understand what it’s like to put your trust in someone else’s hands to take care of your fur baby. It’s a big deal, and I’d like to step in to ease those feelings and let you know your pet is in the hands of a genuine, gentle, patient, and kind pet sitter. I work remotely full time with a flex schedule, so I have a ton of flexibility throughout the day. I am fortunate to work for a non-profit that believes in a healthy work-life balance. I care for pets first and foremost with love and respect while maintaining a safe, clean, and fun environment for them. Every pet owner is different and I am happy to configure my care to the owner’s preferences.
“Kaitlyn was great. We have 3 dogs and a cat. One of the dogs is very shy. She was great with him. And he had no issue with her coming in , feeding, and visiting. I also have a hyper dog and she was great with her as well. We are very happy with Kaitlyn. We will definitely use her services again.!!!! If you are in need of a petsitter contact Kaitlyn!!!!!”
About: "I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 15. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed them and play with them. I am a physical education teacher that has the summers off and is looking to take care of your pet while you are ate work or on vacation. I enjoy getting your pet the exercise it needs and help them be comfortable around other people. I am a dog sitter/dog walker that puts safety as a priority when taking care of your pet. I always move a cross the street if I see another dog coming towards me if your pet is not good with other dogs. I always watch for cars when I am cross the street to keep your help safe.
About: As an experienced pet sitter, I am dedicated to providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. From feeding, walking, and playtime to administering medications and maintaining routines, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are receiving attentive, responsible, and personalized care in a stress-free environment I work Monday- Thursday so that allows me to have plenty of time at home with animals on the weekends to give them the time and attention they need. I have a very nice neighborhood with walking paths to make sure animals are getting the exercise and time they need to play around outside.

About: I've had many dogs of my own so I'm quite personal & I'm always excited to make new animal friends. Having many animals of my own I think sets me aside from others, I love to play and run around with dogs. I also can and will care for other pets or animals if it is necessary, which I also think sets me apart. I'm an athlete too so long walks & everything are not a problem, I enjoy walking and nature so going on walks would be wonderful. I like animal of all sizes. Also by having pets of my own, I understand a lot about dogs and how to care for multiple. I can do more than just play & walk them, I can bathe them & brush & most other hygiene needs.

“Carissa was very easy to work with setting up the first meeting/trial run. It is nice to have daycare options when we are at our campsite and want to go do things, without having to leave him at the camper. Cope must have really enjoyed himself because he headed back towards her house, rather than the car when it was time to leave.”
“Jacob looked after my 1 year old husky for the day and there were no issues! He took him for a walk as well which was appreciated. Definitely will trust Jacob for sitting or boarding again.”
“Amanda and her helpers were very friendly and happy to have Latte there. Amanda is very sensitive to my bougie little doggie’s needs. I can always tell what kind of care she received by the mood my dog is in when I pick her up and I know she was well loved at Amanda’s house every day. I will use Amanda again for sure!”
“Hadyn was wonderful! She watched our Ruby on a last minute notice and sent us regular updates. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Thank you again Hadyn!”

“Chris did great with the dogs! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!! He played fetch with our lab until she got tired (who can play fetch FOREVER... seriously forever). He’s very considerate, informative, and a true dog lover! I can tell he does is absolute best to give the pups the excersize and love they need and deserve!”

About: I have had dogs since as long as I can remember, and have always loved caring for and playing with them! Not just dogs, but other animals as well. I’ve also helped friends care for and train new puppies and pets. I majored in Behavior Analysis and have worked in an animal behavior lab. I would love to get outside and active with your pets! Being able to spend time with pups and other pets is a dream job, and I can’t wait to make sure your friends are happy and loved when you need me. I work M-F 8-4:30, but am very flexible with my weekend and evening time if you need my help. For doggy daycare, I work from home Mondays and Tuesdays so can accommodate your pets then! I have a very friendly golden retriever at home, as well as a cat who tolerates dogs and mostly keeps to herself. We do not have a fenced in yard, but I am more than willing to walk them as much as needed.
About: Hey there! I am an animal lover to the core. Let me be your pet's new best friend while you are away! I recently moved back to the Midwest to be closer to family, about two years ago. I was traveling constantly for work, but am now full time work from home. When I lived in another state for work, I did pet care as a part time job with private clients weekly. I grew to absolutely love it and would love to get established back in Wisconsin. I grew up with dogs, cats, and cows my entire life - being raised on a farm. I am the type of person who can’t stop without petting a dog whenever I see one! Providing companionship to your pet is my favorite thing to do. We can go on walks, eat food, and watch the latest Hulu show together! Your fur baby is welcome to sleep with me, on the floor, or in any bed or crate you bring. My two rescue cats absolutely LOVE other animals, so there is no worry there. They are so curious and eventually become besties! Since I am work from home full time now, so I am extremely flexible and they will have constant attention. I do live in an apartment, BUT, I am right next to the walking trail in River Prairie (the loop). I would be more than happy to go on as many walks as needed, and enjoy some sunshine with your fur baby! So do not worry, they can be outside as much or little as you’d like. I am open to care of all animals, all sizes, and all ages. If wanted, I visit my family farm quite often where we have extensive yard and land to run on. It is 100% an option for me to take your pet there if you want them to have some extra smells, especially if they stay long term with me. I’m extremely flexible and want you to not have to worry! While I traveled full time for work in the past, constant updates on my animals back home was crucial to me. I will provide as much or little communication you’d like. I’m here to meet you and your pet where you’d like and keep being away from them stress free. I promise they are in such caring hands! I work from home most days and go on daily walks myself! I would love to have a companion along with me to help make my place less lonely! During the weekends I can give even extra attention! I have access to the loop walk near River Prairie where i can take your pet for a potty break or for a walk! Depending how far they like to go - I can do the full three miles with them, or cut it shorter! I will be here with them to provide food, water, and care. Your pet will be my number 1 priority while I am with them!
“Lindsay watched our dog Luna for several hours one afternoon while we were in town to visit my grandma. She was very friendly and kind to Luna and was a tremendous help to us - we would certainly book with her again if needed! Highly recommend :)”
About: I grew up with many family pets and helped care for them. I have worked professionally at day care and boarding/training facilities. In 2011 I acquired a Veterinary Assisting Diploma from Horizon School of Veterinary Assisting. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, most days I am available. We can talk and figure out what would work best for you and your companion animal. I will respect your animals current routine already in place and follow through with daily care needs as if you would for them in your home.
About: I've had a lot of dogs in my life since I was very little that I have helped watch or care for. I help watch my relatives dogs when they are out on vacation or just gone for a few days. They've always relied on me to help them out and of course I did! I was always willing to take their dogs to care for if others they asked first couldn't do so. I've bathe and fed their pets as if they were just like mine to love and care for while in my hands! I'm a part timer so I would definitely have enough time to care for other pets in my hands! I also always try to find a way to work my schedule as best as I can. I don't have a fenced yard but I always put their leashes on and walk them out to use bathrooms or small walks around the yard or sidewalks. I keep watch on them all times and play with their toys or interacting any way to ensure they're having fun great times with me!

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and dog mom to a big Goldendoodle named Miller 🐾 so I’m very comfortable handling larger, energetic dogs as well as more laid-back ones. I’m used to daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, and all the little things that keep dogs happy and comfortable. I’m very patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away 🤍 Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for! I recently dropped my hours at my current job to spend more time with my dog and hopefully help other pets out as well :) I am willing to adapt to all needs to make other pets feel comfortable and happy in their home. I’ve been around all ages and sizes of dogs and am comfortable with all!

Our home features a big yard perfect for playing and exploring, ensuring your pet has plenty of space to roam.

It’s a big deal, and I’d like to step in to ease those feelings and let you know your pet is in the hands of a genuine, gentle, patient, and kind pet sitter. I work remotely full time with a flex schedule, so I have a ton of flexibility throughout the day. I am fortunate to work for a non-profit that believes in a healthy work-life balance. I care for pets first and foremost with love and respect while maintaining a safe, clean, and fun environment for them. Every pet owner is different and I am happy to configure my care to the owner’s preferences.
About: Most of my friends call me an animal whisperer. I love pets and always have. Born and raised on a farm, animals are not new to me. I am pretty well versed in loving animals, as well as caring for animals as they deserve. I am currently home full-time, loving on my own 50 lb. Aussiedoodle, Hans. Hans and I would love to offer our spare time in support of your pet needs. I also am a guinea pig mom to 9 special guinea pigs! Animals are the way to my heart, and I can always make time for one more. Although it doesn't specify caged animals, like guinea pigs, I am happy to pet sit, board, or help with daily care of your caged pets. I do not currently have a fenced yard, but I live on open acres set apart from any close neighbors. Leashes can be used outside of the home to provide ultimate safety and security for your pet. I am always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

“Very accommodating for dog drop-off & pickup, and extending stay with day’s notice. Had a confident presence when we dropped dog off which left us assured of her experience.”
About: Hi there! I’m Destiny & have owned an array of furry friends over the years. I have never NOT had a pup and have owned many different breeds. Currently I own cattle dogs- an Aussie named Marley and Heeler/Collie mix named Sadie. They are 4, I trained them myself & they are extremely well behaved and socialized. I offer boarding, day care, dog walking, and can bathe your pup before returning them home to you. I can also pick up and drop off when needed. I can also house sit and pup sit if that is your need/comfortability as well. I am up for & encourage meet & greets before bookings if you would like to meet myself, the pups and/or see the house and our setup before hand! I work during the normal school year as a nursing instructor. I am off during the summer and am home FULL TIME to dedicate ALL of my time & attention to the fur babies! I promise your baby will be tuckered out, loved on and well fed (to your instructions of course!) Boarding at my home: safety is my top priority with animal to animal interaction and human to animal interaction. If pups need more alone time/privacy, they can be housed separately from my dogs at all times as we have multiple access points from our home to our fenced in yard and gate sectioning in our house. I do walks daily with them and am outside with them as well for the majority of the day. Our fenced in yard has a dog pool and I have BUCKETS of toys for them to play with! If your pup leans toward the spicier side & is more protective when it comes to their toys, food, or water please let me know and separation accommodations can be made, no problem. All breeds are different and each pup is different. I can also give medications topically, orally, injections etc. I can provide hourly updates through text, video call, phone calls, whatever you would like! At minimum I send a daily update. In your home: as a nurse, safety is always my top priority. I am also extremely clean and organized. I can maintain your daily routine with your pup so they don’t miss much while you are away. Again, meet and greets I encourage so you and especially your pup are comfortable meeting me and being in your home. I’ll be their make-shift auntie while you are away! Whatever update/care you want them to have, you got it- even FaceTime dates so you don’t have to miss them much.
“Our pup is turning 3 in June and we had never left her with anyone. We found Kessia and felt an instant connection. She confidently, but gently assured our pup and us that there was nothing to worry about, and her two pups instantly welcomed ours in playful banter. We have no concerns in leaving our pup with Kessia.”
“Our dog Zero had such a good time at Amanda's, we actually felt guilty picking him up! Amanda shared regular updates and photos, and, while she maintained Zero's normal routine of walks, meals, and sleep, the extra play and snuggle time the family gave Zero clearly made him one content, tuckered out pup. We would definitely bring Zero to Amanda's for boarding again in the future.”
“Jake was great as always, our dog loves to stay with him. Jake sent photos and make sure our pup went for walks and had time in the yard. Would recommend him to anyone that will listen”
“Joseph was wonderful! He was very communicative and was able to take my dog on short notice which was so helpful. My dog came back and seemed like she had enjoyed her stay very very much. I highly recommend choosing Joseph as your dogs next caregiver!”
“Hadyn was amazing with our dog, Marley! She sent multiple updates and pictures throughout the day and took him for multiple walks throughout the day along with other engaging activities. She was such a great pleasure to work with and I highly recommend! We will definitely book again in the future! Marley came home happy and exhausted after his stay!”
“Kristy was amazing with my 1 year old Border Collie! He can be a handful but she sent me tons of pictures of him having fun all weekend! I trust her completely and know he was in good hands. He loved the backyard and playing frisbee with her!”
“8 paws way up!! My 2 dogs would highly recommend Chris and his crew for wearing them out and play, play, playing! Large fenced in yard and other dogs to socialize with - June and Carter will be visiting again!”
“Madeline was great at communicating and keeping me updated about Ponyo. She sent lots of photos and videos. It looks like Ponyo had a great time! I’m already scheduling my next sitting sesh with Madeline again.”
“Lynn & her husband were a hospitable, kind and wonderful environment for our senior dog to leave in during a vacation. We did a meet & greet and I could tell that they were dog lovers and had a kind attitude towards dogs. They also made sure that our dog was not alone at all due to their sensitive and kind attitude. I would highly recommend them for your dog care.”
“Outstanding dog sitter We can’t say enough great things about Alison! From the moment we met, we knew Buddy was in the best hands. She was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. Having her dogs with Buddy was an added bonus as they got along great. Throughout the stay, we loved getting pictures and regular updates and thoughtful check-ins that gave me total peace of mind. We will definitely use Alison again!”
“I would highly recommend Tyler and Caitlyn to watch your dogs! They were very nice and attentive. Nice big yard for playing and seemed to really care about the dogs. We will definitely utilize them again when needed!”
“Amy and Brendan were amazing! They were very flexible and able to take Ponyo on short notice, which was such a lifesaver. Communication was great throughout—they sent updates and photos so I always knew how she was doing. Ponyo got plenty of outdoor time and came home happy (and exhausted!) after all the fun she had. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”
“Tiffany was so amazing and sweet with my Furr baby ! She was super flexible with pick up and drop off and even sent me pictures while he stayed with her! Lives in a great area and overall a super amazing person !! This is where you want your pet staying if you are ever traveling !!”
About: I have been relied on to care for friends, family, and neighbors pets since I was old enough to take responsibility. When I was 14, my helping of peoples pets started when I watched a family friends dog for 4 years during week days and occasional weekends. I worked at a doggie day care facility for 4 months at the end of 2021, doing all duties that go into caring for our furry friends. I went to college to get a degree as a Veterinary Technician for a year and a half. During the time of schooling I worked in a vet clinic and took on the job role as a kennel technician, helping out with anything and everything I could get my hands on. I dropped school because of personal and external obstacles but would love to go back in the future to finish. I only aim to please and never disappoint! Please choose me to be your pets new best friend! I'm currently working full time in Gilman WI, Mon-Thurs 630AM-4PM, Fri 630AM-1030AM. I am mostly available during weekends. The earlier you book with me, the better. I like to plan ahead. I try to be flexible and fit in your pet sitting needs! When caring for pets in a clients home, I am sure to make sure that I am careful when first meeting animals as I know it could be dangerous because of their protectiveness. I make sure to look over instructions twice, and double check that all to-dos are completed before leaving the clients home. I make sure to potty before I leave each time to avoid messes and make sure that they get exercise/attention during my time with them, as I know they feel down without someone home with them.
About: I grew up showing my family dogs in 4-H shows and now have my own golden retriever at home. Looking to love on some more pets! Teacher school year mode is in full swing so I am available during weekdays outside of 8-4 and weekends. Willing to set up a regular schedule with your pet! I have 75 pound dog of my own that I can keep ahold of walking. I’ve managed many pets of all sizes over the last three years on Rover with varying levels of need.
