Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ellis
“Bethany was so good with our lil Gertie! Gertie is usually pretty shy with new people but Bethany got her out of her shell! She sent pictures and updates. Gertie had so much fun!”
About: Taking walks around my pond, lots of cuddles, and play will be enjoyed at my home. Open to working with your feeding schedule preferences for your pet. Weekends, I will be home more to play and cuddle. I work outside of home during the week, but in the evenings I will have lots of time to play and have fun. If you have a crate, I would love for you to bring it for the dog. This way, if I am sitting with multiple pets while I'm gone, they are safe. Also, I will always have a leash in my complex.
“Morgan was amazing! She was very flexible with our timing needs, and so excited to care for Panzer. I appreciated the picture she sent about 2 hours into the day. I relaxed, knowing our dog was fitting in, and not stressed about missing us. Actually, I’m sure he was kept so busy he didn’t have a chance to miss us. Highly recommend Morgan!”
“Shawn & Joey took amazing care of our dog. They took her to the dog park which she absolutely loved and sent us pictures and updates throughout her stay with them. We would definitely recommend Shawn & Joey if you need a dog sitter!”
“Brandi is the absolute BEST! If you’re looking for someone to take care of your pup, use Brandi! She communicative, friendly & flexible with dates & times. I know my pup is in great hands when I leave her with Brandi!”
“Christy is an amazing petsitter! 100% recommend. She took the time to meet our doggies beforehand and understand their needs. She kept us posted and updated during our trip. We are so happy to have found and her and will continue booking her services. Thank you Christy!!”
“Craig is an amazing pet sitter - you can’t go wrong having him care for your fur baby. He spent all of his time with our senior dog Linus, who takes several medications several times a day. In addition, he took Linus on many adventures and played ball with him constantly and had a fun toy box. Linus had his own vacation while we were on vacation. I was able to relax and have zero worries, knowing Linus was in great hands. We would use Craig again in a heartbeat.”
“Anna loved her stay with Becky!! We got awesome updates throughout the weekend. This was absolutely wonderful & we cant wait to have our baby stay with her again! 5+ stars!”
“I have been using Gabriella sense January and I cannot say enough good about her. She has been so helpful, flexible, and so loving towards my dog Zeus. I am so happy I found her on this app!”
“Andrea was wonderful. My dog Gracie has severe anxiety and it wasn’t going to work, unfortunately. I ended up having to leave work and take her home. I felt bad for Andrea, but she reassured me she was fine with everything. Some dogs just don’t do well in other people’s homes. Anita”
“Xao was AMAZING?!! She took care of my Skyy extremely well!! I was so pleased with all the pics and videos I rec'd bc they showed my fur baby so happy! It was an awesome plus she had small fur babies as well bc now they are friends?! The attention Skyy rec'd was phenomenal and again the special care displayed was appreciated and EVERYTIME I travel without Skyy I know she will be in the best care with XAO?...THANK YOU Rover for having a true fur baby professional on your site☺️...”
“Kara and Ben have a beautiful, kind, and loving family. They welcomed my high energy puppy girl into their home, and she clearly had fun playing with their dog and kids for many days while I was in the hospital. I get the sense that they want their kids to experience different pets for the learning experience, which is very cool I think. They seem to enjoy the experience overall, which made it so comfortable for me. Thanks so much!”
“Jake had a great time. Catherine sent lots of pictures and video to show me and reassure me that Jake had fun and enjoyed all the other doggy playmates. Would definitely use her again and totally recommend her. She has a great back yard and makes homemade treats and food that even my fussy boy loves. He even came home with a couple extra toys. Thank you for taking such great care of Jake.”
“Taylor was an outstanding host. She took such good care of, hook. She was very responsive and shared everything about his day. She did an amazing job keeping him happy and occupied. I would recommend her to everyone. Thank you so much.”
About: Hello! My name is Elicia and I have been around animals my entire life. I currently have 3 dogs (4 including my husband 😂) Doug, Cooper and Nala. I love to spend time with animals, and know the struggle of finding someone trust worthy to take care of your kids! I have great references, and am pretty flexible when it comes to the needs and care of you and your pets. I promise to love on them and treat them as if they were my own, no matter how big or how small! I am also open to discussing payment options as well - I am here to work with you and your babies! Looking forward to chatting with you! I have a full time job, 7a-4p Monday - Friday in Wausau. I have the option to work from home 1 day a week if needed, but cannot work from home on Mondays or Fridays. If you’re located close enough to my employer I can let your pets out at lunch! I currently have no restrictions when it comes to caring for pets. I have cared for puppies all the way to elderly dogs. I have no allergies, so nothing to worry about there! I can take them for walks, to the dog park, and am willing to do everything I can to keep them on their schedule and stress free!
About: I’ve taken care of rabbits, fish, hedgehogs, cats, dogs, and guinea pigs. I’ve done so for friends, family, neighbors, and mutual friends. I care for each pet like they’re someone’s baby, because they are! I currently work 8-4, but have a very flexible schedule. I can care for pets at almost any time of the day, and would love to play with your pets! I have one friendly dog who loves to go for walks or run in the field across the street. Our yard is not fenced in, but I have a very sturdy lead they can run on. We have tons of toys, and dogs are allowed on any furniture unless you specify otherwise. I have a crate and room for others if you provide your own.

Cat caregivers near you - Ellis
“Brittany took great care of our cats and spent time interacting with them which we appreciated. Brittany also worked around unexpected house showings. Would definitely rebook.”
“Debora was here today for her first drop-in visit. She was prompt and sent a couple pics as requested. She also left a note for me on how the visit went. My pup and her hit it off great at the meet and greet.”
“Kara is fantastic!! Right from the beginning with the meet and greet I knew I picked the right pet sitter. I was away for 6 days and Kara did a daily drop in service for my cat, Rue. My cat needs meds for skin allergies and she was able to stay on her prescribed dosage the entire time. Kara provided great care to Rue. Stress and being off of the meds can create flare ups of sores. Rue was happy and healthy when I returned home. Kara sent pictures every day and I could see that Rue had bonded with Kara immediately! I was able to share the daily pictures with my family as we traveled and it was a treat to look forward to seeing how Rue was doing. The human contact and playtime that Kara provided kept Rue’s stress level down and the meds she was able to administer kept Rue healthy. What a relief it was to me knowing Rue had such a great caregiver. I will definitely be using Kara again for future trips away from home.”
About: I love cats though I have never owned one…yet! I love going to the cat cafe to see and play with the cats and I have always been around cats through friends and family. My husband has grown up with cats. His childhood cat is currently 18!
“She took my cat on less than a days notice, treating her like her own, and when my flight got delayed a day, she was super understanding. Would recommend to anyone who has pets. I will be using her again indefinitely”
“Summer took the time to stop by and meet us and our cats before we left for our trip. We enjoyed the daily updates and photos. She even got our shy cat to open up to her. We would gladly use her services again.”
About: I am very new to being a cat lover ever since I met and fell in love with my own cat, Leif. Ever since I have been volunteering at the humane society I got him from and enjoy helping out the medical team with sometimes the most feral or sick cats that come in. I understand that each cat has a different personality and I have been able to see a lot of them. No matter your cat’s personality I will be able to give them space or give them cuddles while you are away!
“Isabel did an amazing job taking care of my cat! She clearly loved caring for her and provided me detailed updates after each visit. She was also super flexible when I added a day onto my vacation.”
“Craig helped me out short notice and kept my cat for the day while my landlord did some work on my house. He sent lots of pictures and make me feel so much better knowing she was in good hands. 10/10 recommend!!”

About: I have always had pets in my life. From rescued dogs I would fine abandoned on the side of the road to horses who were about to be euthanized by our local rancher. Cats, kittens, puppies and adult senior dogs always have a place in my heart and home. I am an adopter and rescuer. I would love to help you with potty breaks to walks. Feeding to medication administration. Let me know what you need help with and I’ll be there. I’m currently looking to help pet owners as I have been in situations where I needed help with drop ins for potty breaks to needing someone to walk my dog while I was at work. I’m familiar and comfortable with doing all of the above along with giving oral or topical medication. I’m recently retired and would love to spend time helping out. I am very familiar with dogs and cats and all that goes along with making sure they’re comfortable and well taken care of care of.

I have a flexible schedule and understand that your pets are like your family so if you need someone last minute I am happy to accommodate! I work remotely with a flexible schedule. I understand that things come up and I’m more than happy to be that last minute option for you! I am in a central location where everything is about 15 mins away I can check in on pets and take them for walks. I can also do enrichment activities and keep consistency with any training that you are working on with your pets for extended check ins (not a trainer-just attended many sessions with my dogs).
“Julieth and Noah did a fantastic job walking our 2 dogs twice a day for 5 days. The couple were very good with communication - sending many photos and comments. We felt very comfortable having them walk our dogs while we were on vacation.”
“Brittany is wonderful! I can’t Rave enough! She’s been walking Chloe for about a month, twice a day and has been here promptly rain or shine. She’s taken a lot of pictures of Chloe on her walks and has always provided detailed feedback. She even put up with Chloe hitting her on the back of her legs when she’s showing off her many, many sticks along the way. I will definitely use Brittany again and recommend her to anyone who has a pet to 💕 love. Trari”

I am comfortable with a variety of training/pet ownership styles, ranging from kenneled dogs following strict rules, to those used to having rule of the house. I work to respect the current training styles as to not disrupt predetermined expectations for animals. I have worked with a wide range of pet ownership styles and can adapt to meet the routines of the animals, from feeding and walking, to rules surrounding furniture and socialization. I work to keep your animals as comfortable and happy as possible.

About: I grew up on a farm so I have plenty of experience with a variety of animals! I was also the Columbia County Dog Training President and trained dogs through my 4-H group for 10 years as I have always had a passion for animals. I have a history with dogs, cats, farm animals, and nearly all small pets (fluffy, feathered, or scales!). I have often taken in rescues in my life and pride myself in treating your pets as my own. Rates are negotiable depending on service needed and distance. At this moment I do not do over night stays as my own animals do not do well with me being gone all night and day. Currently I am working full time with kwik trip and have a flexible schedule. Please reach out to me if you have any questions regarding scheduling! I have knowledgeable leash handling skills for dog walking and have gone through dog fight safety training in the event a dog becomes reactive. With my large expanse of animal handling I am able to stay calm and collected if there were any issues or follow specific instructions from the owner. I am also experienced with handling animals as large as horses or as small as bugs! I treat your pets as special as my own, I am even working on a scrapbook! I follow instructions and boundaries thoroughly to give your family the best experience possible.
