“My Sheltie,Cody, absolutely loves when he gets to stay at Gina’s house. He goes on walks with her and has lots of fun and friends to hang out with. I can leave leave him with her and know he’s in the best care. Hands down…without a doubt…Gina is my go-to dog sitter. If I can’t get Gina I don’t go on vacation, simple as that 💙💜💙”
“Bobbi sent consistent and adorable updates to let me know my girl was settling in and enjoying having a furry friend (Bobbi’s little pug) around. I felt comfortable leaving my girl with Bobbi and her sweet family!”
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
“Absolutely fabulous sitter and family! Ginger loved her stays with Anu and her family. Their dog Norah is the sweetest and was a great teacher for my young golden pup. I will definitely be booking in the future. Highly recommended!!??”
“Kristal did an awesome job taking care of our 'baby" and making her feel at home while we were out of state for a wedding. She kept us up on how Shasta was doing & sent pictures each day. It was good to see how she had found her favorite spot in their home & also enjoyed their outside fenced-in yard. Since they no longer have a dog of their own & only take in one boarder at a time, she had more attention than some days at home! We would definitely take her to Kristal again.”
“Bobbie is amazing. This was Sophie’s first overnight and I was so nervous. Bobbie sent pictures and kept me informed on how Sophie was doing. Because Bobbie is so good with dogs Sophie was comfortable and completely at home. I can’t say enough about how good Bobbie is. I will definitely be using Bobbie again for future trips. Thank you again for being so good with my Sophie.”
“Maria took such great care of our pup while we were away! She sent us pictures with updates, which made us feel connected! I highly recommend Maria for care, we will be booking again for future needs!”
“Jeffrey took wonderful care of our 4 year old boxer Maggie. We got her back happy and relaxed! I loved receiving his daily update about how Maggie was doing while we were away.”
“Chase & Jessica were very welcoming to my Chihuahua, Chip! I appreciated the help with my pup & their updates & flexibility were great as well! Thank you both!! If you're looking for a dog-sitter, don't hesitate with Chase/Jessica!”
“This is the second time Shanna takes care of Galaxy. Great as always! Send sweet pictures and updates everyday. Very flexibility about pick up and drop off time. I am also glad to see Galaxy making so many different friends at Shanna’s house! :)”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Mary was amazing!! My dog does not normally like new people but he loved Mary and she took great care of him. I even had to book last minute because of a funeral. I was able to be fully present with my family at our time of loss because my dog was so well cared for. Thanks Mary!!”
“Julie took the BEST care of our little guy on our first trip away from him since we got him. She took many pictures and shared them with us and just treated him like one of her own pets. We appreciated seeing how much love he received while we were gone!”
“Nikki is amazing, her daughter too. My dog Lucy fell in love with this house and family! She felt at home right away. Nikki sent lots of pictures, and that was fabulous, as this was my first time leaving my dog with anyone other than family. Highly recommend her.”
“Frank & Julie are Phenomenal! I was quite nervous about trying again to find temporary care for my dog after a poor experience on another pet sitting app. I read all the other positive reviews for this couple and anxiously decided to move forward with booking. I am so pleased with the care they provided! I feel they went above and beyond for my dog. I'm so grateful I found them instead of boarding, where he'd have had very little attention and interaction. Instead he got the love and attention he could want and all the comforts of home. I will happily continue to use their service.”
“Morgan had a wonderful time. She has an autoimmune disorder that causes chronic arthritis. They did a great job of caring for her and understanding her needs. Highly recommend.”
“10/10 Highly recommend! Jamie did an amazing job with our pups. We haven't left them before for any period of time, so were a bit nervous about how they would do. Jamie was exactly the person they needed. She welcomed them into her home and made their stay absolutely perfect.”

“Travis was fantastic with our kitties! We hired him to stay with them and we couldn’t be happier with his services. We got multiple updates with pictures, and came home to a well kept home. Very reliable, great communication, and overall just a very nice person whose love for animals is obvious when you meet him. We’ll hire him again. 10 / 10 would recommend Travis.”
About: I have helped care for animals since I was four-years-old. I have trained many dogs a variety of skills and tricks. I love getting outdoors with my two dogs and watching them play. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd so I am very used to high energy/ high drive animals. I have watched pets ranging from less than five pounds up to 165 pounds. I love all dogs and truly enjoy helping them! I do offer in your home sitting. I also offer drop-by services and can walk your pet if that is what you would like. I enjoy hearing from you and getting to know your furry friend! Thank you for considering me! I am currently a stay at home mom so aside from my child’s doctor appointments, I’d be able to watch your fur baby majority of the day and all night. In my clients home, I like to try to keep the pets current routine as that seems to make them most comfortable. I do like to play, give pets, and take them for walks if that is what the client would like for their pet.
“Jenna did great and was very flexible. She even got some pets in with my rabbit who is usually wary of strangers or people in general so im very happy with the job she did!”
About: I've had cats in my house my entire life, with the exception of college. They are my heart and soul. I am the first person my friends & family think of when they need a cat sitter. I have cared for cats of all ages, from kitten to seniors. I also have experience administering medications. As a long time cat momma, I have decades of experience with these wonderful fluff balls!
“My regular pet sitter was unavailable so I am a first time Rover user. Briana took the time necessary to understand Chewy’s personality and needs. Chewy is a very shy cat but came out for pets during Briana’s visits. I will definitely book Briana again if my pet sitter is busy.”
About: Hello! I’m Taylor, a 23 year old animal lover with over 14 years of experience caring for cats. Since I was young, I’ve helped family, friends, and neighbors by, feeding pets, providing companionship, and staying with them while their owners were away. I currently have two one-year-old cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m available for drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions to help them feel at ease. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care.
“Nemiah did a great job house sitting and taking care of our cat for a week when we were out of the country. Our little old cat was very happy and healthy when we returned home, and it was a relief to know that she was there keeping an eye on things!”
“Jeanne was wonderful to work with and she was great with my four cats. I could tell in all the pictures that they really liked her and were very well taken care of. She was reliable and it gave us peace of mind knowing our babies were in great hands! We would definitely hire her again! Thank you, Jeanne!”
“Michelle is very sweet and trust worthy. I am so thankful she was able to take care of our kitties while we left and I know my cats definitely enjoyed her coming over, feeding & playing with them! She even went above and beyond to take our trash to the curb. 10/10 recommend Michelle :)”
“Leanna was great! So friendly and easy to work with. This is our first time using Rover and she made us feel comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care. Definitely will use Leanna again and recommend anyone looking for some to care for their pets choose Leanna as well.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs on my own since middle school. We've always had a family dog in the household as well as friends and neighbors who would need help with their little ones. I have a BS in Animal Science, have worked as an emergency vet assistant/triage tech for the last 3 years, and have some professional dog training experience. I currently have 2 guinea pigs, and a 2-year-old AND 1-year-old pitty/lab mix that love to come to work with me and go on all sorts of outdoor adventures! Needless to say, my life revolves around animals and I don't know what the world would be like without them! I would love to get to know your little one and be there for them (and you!) when needed! Good communication and planning helps me arrange my schedule and make myself available for your needs. I often have days off during the week so I can spend time with our furry friends while their families are at work. Having worked in an emergency pet hospital keeps me on my toes and I always put safety first. When it comes to walking outside, I double check collar/harness every time to ensure a secure yet comfortable fit that can't be slipped out of. I also know dog body language and signs of illness to monitor and keep people and pets safe!
About: I have extensive hands‑on experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. From shy, slow‑to‑warm kitties to confident social butterflies, I understand how to read feline body language and adjust my approach to make every cat feel safe and respected. My care includes feeding routines, litter box maintenance, enrichment play, grooming support, and administering medications when needed. I’m attentive to subtle changes in behavior—whether it’s appetite, energy, or mood—so I can keep your cat comfortable and content while you’re away.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities throughout my life, from puppy stages to senior care. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, administering medications, and giving pets the attention and patience they need to feel safe and happy. With my background as a CNA and caregiver, I naturally bring a calm, attentive, and detail-oriented approach to pet care. I understand how important it is to follow routines closely and make sure every pet is cared for as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or extra care, I’m here to provide a reliable and loving experience you can feel confident in. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available for last-minute bookings, drop-ins, and walks throughout the day. I’m currently looking to spend my time doing something meaningful while earning extra income, and caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every pet with the same level of care, attention, and love that I give my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while following any routines or instructions you provide.
About: I've taken care of cats since I was a little girl, a long time ago. We had kittens, tom cats, and even a very large cat named Casey. I loved them all. My daughter's cat sleeps with me when I am there. My son's cats will lie on my computer. My family and clients' cats love to be brushed, pet, and given treats. Litter boxes are kept clean, and water dishes are cleaned daily. I would love to come sit with your cat. Most important is that they stay in their home environment without any disruption. No cat-itude. I'm looking forward to connecting.

“Charlie and Luca had a wonderful time with Emily and her family! We were so grateful for the excellent care they provided. We were thrilled to receive updates and photos throughout the day about their activities. They both came home happy and tired from a fun day. I would highly recommend Emily!”
“We had a last-minute Rover request, and Bobbi responded quickly and made booking easy. Even though it was a short stay, we could tell our dog had a great time especially with Mercy, their adorable pug! Bobbi shared updates and photos, and Nova seemed to really enjoy their spacious backyard. Bobbi was so kind and welcoming. We’d absolutely recommend her to others!”
“Extremely happy with Bobbie and Clark. Our 6 month old Shepard husky means the world to us and we were confident she was in good hands as the day progressed and we were sent updates. We will definitely be returning to them in the future and we wish we could give them 10 stars on the basis of communication and care for our beloved pet!”
“Shanna and her husband were awesome, they provided a calm atmosphere for our nervous girls and never tried to push them to do anything they didn’t want to do. Will definitely book again next time we’re in Green Bay!”
About: I have had pets all my life! Including dogs, cats, geckos, and fish. I am super passionate about dogs especially, as is my husband. I have dog sat for numerous families in the past, and would love to put my skills to use by hosting pets, and dog walking! We are an incredibly dog friendly house, where dogs are treated as humans. We have a sweet two year old hound mix named Charlie. He LOVES all people and dogs, and would also love some friends to play with! We have done training classes with him, and are very knowledgeable about dogs. We would love to share our passion with you, and your furry friends! I am also a moderator for an online group as well!
“Love using Sarah for dog sitting! She is so flexible and I can always count on her with last minute bookings! Frankie leaps out of my arms to go greet her family and pups ❤️ Will continue bringing frankie ❤️”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who recently retired, and I’m looking to fill my days with some extra puppy love. My pup, Cullen, and I are a duo that loves company. Since I’m home throughout the day, your dog will have constant supervision, plenty of backyard time, and all the belly rubs they can handle. We’re looking for friendly companions to join us for neighborhood strolls and afternoon naps. Your pup won’t just be "staying" here—they’ll be part of the family! Since I am retired, my schedule is completely dedicated to pet care. Your dog will enjoy 24/7 companionship and a consistent routine, as I am home full-time to provide potty breaks, backyard play, and plenty of cuddles. Cullen and I are very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and we look forward to a Meet & Greet to ensure a perfect match! We offer a fully fenced-in backyard featuring a beautiful koi pond. To ensure a safe and harmonious environment for everyone, I look for guest dogs who have a solid foundation in basic obedience and a 'gentle' temperament around water and wildlife. My own dog loves making new friends, and I prioritize active supervision to ensure all 'fur babies'—and my fish—stay happy and safe!
“My Jojo loved her stay with Maria today! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. I appreciated all the timely communication- even before we arrived. Amazing service. Thank you so much!”
“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!”
“I couldn’t have been happier with the care and attention Breanna gave to our pets. The whole process was so easy and Breanna was very accommodating. She sent pictures and messages to let me know how our babies were doing and allowed us to have a great day without worrying about our pets. She is a very sweet girl with an obvious love for animals. An overall outstanding experience; I would highly recommend her!!!”
About: After being an elementary teacher for the last 15 years I have decided to stay home and join Rover while my kids are in school! I will of course be available after school and weekends too! I have a deep love for all animals so please trust me to take care of your fur babies like they were my own! I taught elementary school for 15 years and we moved to the area recently. My kids are in school and my husband works out of town. I would love to spend my week taking care of your pets and enjoying this beautiful area. I am happy to visit your pets in your own home and stop by anytime for a walk or just for a needed potty break! I also welcome pets to my own home :)
About: Please read the entire profile. I did grow up with a Dalmatian dog. My dad was a firefighter, and came home with Pepper Christmas morning. My sister had a mini goldendoodle.

I currently have two dog walking appointments from 11:45am -2:00pm Monday-Thursday. Your pet will be in a kennel during this time. Having retired 5/1/25, I have the time to provide loving care, playtime and walks with your pet. I will provide pictures and updates to you. No fence but can play fetch in the front/backyard or take your dog to dog park if they are ok with it. Please provide details or special needs. I look forward to providing belly rubs, snuggles and loving care.
“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.”

Since I was young, I’ve helped family, friends, and neighbors by walking dogs, feeding pets, providing companionship, and staying with them while their owners were away. I currently have two one-year-old cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets.

I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting, and I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions to help them feel at ease.

I’ll always make sure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect your space, carefully follow your instructions, and keep your pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress while you’re away. I’m attentive during walks, make sure pets have fresh food and water, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and will always keep doors, gates, and leashes secure. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Hi there, my name is Becky. I do not have dog sitting experience but I love dogs. I just recently lost our beloved golden Emma 2 months ago. She was 12 years old. I am using Rover to help heal and help with other dog lovers out there and care for their loved ones! I work Monday-Thursday. I can help on Thursday afternoons after 1pm and Friday-Sundays most weekends. My husband works every other weekend so my availability the weekends he works is pretty open! I love to walk and run. Not saying I need to run with your doggo unless he or she loves to do so! I know summer can be difficult with the heat and winter can be brutally cold. I will take every precaution to keep your dog safe.
About: I’ve had and taken care of many different breeds in my lifetime, mostly medium to smaller mixed breeds and I’ve also taken care of doodles I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats that I spend my days with. Always start with a morning walk down our local hiking trail We have gates to keep them in safe spaces including keeping our daughter away from them if necessary but she’s also very gentle with them
About: Hi, I'm Melissa! I grew up surrounded by pets, and that passion grew into a lifelong career in animal care. I bring over a decade of professional facility experience to Rover, including serving as a Pack Leader at Tailwaggers Doggy Daycare and spending seven years as a specialized Caregiver at the world-renowned Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. There, I worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and behavioral needs, including dog-selective and dog-aggressive behaviors. Currently, I keep my skills sharp working part-time as a Kennel Technician at a daycare and boarding facility right here in Green Bay. Because of my professional background, I’m highly experienced with administering medications, recognizing subtle body language, and reinforcing basic training. I know how important routine is, so I am more than happy to strictly follow whatever household rules you have set for your pet. Whether your furbaby is a social butterfly or a quiet soul who needs a patient, gentle approach, I have the intuitive skills to make them feel safe and loved. When I’m not caring for your pets, I’m hanging out with my own senior "puppy," a 9-year-old dog named Alba (pictured with me!), and my 14-year-old "kitten." I love house-sitting, overnight stays, and dog walking, and my ultimate goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're away. I can’t wait to meet your furbabies! My part-time schedule as a local kennel technician makes me incredibly flexible for pet sitting! I work from 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM – 6:30 PM (about 25 hours a week), which leaves my entire midday window from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM wide open for lunchtime walks, playtime, and companionship. I am also available for quick check-ins before my morning shift, and my evenings are completely free after 6:30 PM for late-night cuddles and dedicated overnight stays. Because my daily job already centers around professional feeding, medicating, and cleaning, keeping your pet's routine seamless and sanitary between my shifts is second nature to me! My goal is to keep your pets in their happiest, most comfortable element, which is why I specialize in caring for them right in their own home! With over a decade of professional animal facility experience and a huge heart for all creatures, I pride myself on being the next best thing to you when you’re away. I am fully backed by Rover and prioritize open, consistent communication—sending you regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they are in safe hands. As a major bonus, I am an exceptionally tidy person who genuinely enjoys cleaning. My past clients have always loved coming home to happy, healthy, stress-free pets and a thoroughly clean, respected house! 🧽🐾
About: I’ve been in the healthcare field for over 5 years. My specialty is taking care of those who can’t take care of themselves. I’ve been a boarder and sitter with Wag for over three years and have had my own pups in the past before I enlisted active duty. Being able to care for pups gives me so much joy as a single woman with no children. I love to go on walks, dog parks and will make sure your pup gets all the care and attention he or she needs including giving meds if needed, bathing, and even mail clipping upon request. I currently work full time in the navy so I do most of my boarding on weekends but I do have a roommate that works an opposite shift and helps walk, play with, and take the pups to go potty when I’m at work throughout the day. I wake up early to let the pups out, and walk them either to the park or around the complex after work, set play dates (if the pup likes other doggies) and walk them and take them out before I go to bed as well. I have a very large open living room and solarium that allows the pups to have their own space to play and run around when it’s raining outside and the park is not optional for play time. I also have a large kitchen area with enough space for pet bowls and beds and I do allow the pups to sleep in the bed if they prefer. I do not have any safety concerns as my home is pup-proof. I take frequent potty breaks and am a light sleeper. Most pups I have boarded know how to let me know when they need to go outside, and for those who don’t, I go on a set schedule right after feedings and every few hours (2-4) depending on the pups age. More frequently if they are still potty training. I do take the dogs to the dog park for play time, exercise and activities.
About: I am very proud to be a "fear free handler". That's a big thing for me, if an animal is uncomfortable, I am 100% uncomfortable along with them.. learning their little quirks and finding ways to do things in the best way possible for that specific animal is what I do and I absolutely love doing it. I promise your animal will be cared for deeply while in my care. My passion has always been working with animals, providing them with the care and respect they deserve and I have extensive experience in the field. I’ve worked in horse barns, animal shelters, and dog boarding facilities, and I’m skilled in administering all types of medications, including insulin. Whether it’s feral cats or reactive dogs, I have the patience and expertise to help them adjust and thrive, including building trust with new people. I understand how intimidating change can be for animals, and I’m dedicated to making those transitions as smooth as possible. I’ve dedicated countless unpaid hours to caring for animals, driven solely by my love and commitment to their well-being. When you entrust me with your pet, I promise to care for them as if they were my own, providing compassion, patience, and unwavering dedication in every situation. I am pretty open with my schedule. I will love your babies like my own. I do work mon-thurs 3-9pm and Saturday 11-4. I am a perfectionist. If you tell me you want something done in a specific way or at a certain time, please let me know!! I'd be more than happy to jump through hoops to give your baby(s) what they need when and how they need it. I will put your animal above everything else, that's what I'm paid for and that's what I love doing.
About: I have had a love for dogs my entire life! I was blessed to grow up with the sweetest Black Lab and my family welcomed a toy poodle to our family when I was 12. In the last couple of years, the family dogs have gone from 2 to 6 with the addition of my in-laws. I am at my happiest when we are all in the same house, each of us with a dog on our lap or at our feet. I don't know what life is like without a dog in it! I lost my 4 year old mini dachshund unexpectedly in 2020. Since then my love for dogs has only grown. I would love to hangout with your furbaby! I currently work a hybrid schedule, working from home most days. My role allows me flexibility throughout the day. I would love to fit in a couple of dog walks and cuddles into my schedule. All dogs are part of the family in my home. I will never treat them differently. I grew up with runners, so have no fear that keeping your dogs safe and home is my number one priority.
About: Let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, or behaviors that I can account for or help with. I would love to help. If you have plants that need watering, mail, or packages that need to be brought in, I can help with that too! I'm retired and love traveling around Wisconsin and the world. Slow traveling is my favorite. I can explore new neighborhoods, cities, and local attractions without being rushed. I will follow your directions for your house and loved ones. Let me know the extra duties like watering, mail, or garbage routine. The house is left cleaner than I found it.
About: I’ve spent several years providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection to keep pets happy and relaxed while their families are away. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment so every pet feels comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly rhythm, especially since I work from home three days a week. On those WFH days, I’m able to offer flexible, consistent attention—perfect for pets who enjoy companionship, regular check‑ins, or a steady routine. I build feeding times, walks or play sessions, potty breaks, and general wellness checks around my work blocks, making sure pets get the care and interaction they need throughout the day. On the days I’m in the office, I plan visits intentionally to keep each pet’s routine stable. Whether it’s morning care, midday enrichment, or evening check‑ins, I make sure every pet gets predictable, comforting attention. Because I’m used to balancing a hybrid schedule with pet responsibilities, I’m very organized and reliable about maintaining consistent care all week long. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine, environment, and comfort exactly the way they’re used to. I follow the owner’s instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, medication needs, and any household rules—so pets feel secure and stress‑free. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, whether they need extra play, quiet companionship, or a slow, gentle approach. I keep the home tidy and respectful, making sure food and water areas stay clean, litter boxes or potty routines are maintained, and any messes are handled right away. I also pay attention to small details like closing gates, locking doors, turning lights on or off as requested, and keeping the home feeling lived‑in and safe. Throughout the stay, I send updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing.
About: I have a lifetime of experience in loving animals, I’ve had dogs my entire life. I am loving, gentle and kind and will care for your family members as you would! I have had some medical issues so am currently not working and am available whenever your pets need a sitter! I have open an availability currently. I have a big back yard, no fence but enough of an area to safely play outside on long leash if that’s an option for your animals.
About: For years I have walked and taken care of my neighborhoods dogs. I even had a dog myself and would take him on walks everyday. I now have a cat with my significant other and love playing with him. When I get home from work I like to go on walks, but I miss walking my late dog so walking and taking care of someone else animal would make me happy and also them. Making sure the yard is safe and doors or fences are close before letting the animals out. Making sure everything is put away and not in reach of the animals unless it is their toys or things meant for them.
About: I've had dogs my whole life. Currently, we have two cats, which is easier with our sports schedule, but I miss having a dog to walk. So, I thought I'd see if you needed help with yours. I'm working part-time and own a business. Both provide me flexibility to be there when your dog needs me. My kids are old enough for me to be gone for short stints. Prefer walking schedules during, morning, afternoon, or late evening as those provide me the best opportunity to give your pets the attention they deserve. Experience walking dogs with leash aggression. Can typically recognize it in your dog or the dogs we are approaching. Will always keep animals leashed in public.

“My Sheltie,Cody, absolutely loves when he gets to stay at Gina’s house. He goes on walks with her and has lots of fun and friends to hang out with. I can leave leave him with her and know he’s in the best care. Hands down…without a doubt…Gina is my go-to dog sitter. If I can’t get Gina I don’t go on vacation, simple as that 💙💜💙”
“Bobbi sent consistent and adorable updates to let me know my girl was settling in and enjoying having a furry friend (Bobbi’s little pug) around. I felt comfortable leaving my girl with Bobbi and her sweet family!”
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
“Absolutely fabulous sitter and family! Ginger loved her stays with Anu and her family. Their dog Norah is the sweetest and was a great teacher for my young golden pup. I will definitely be booking in the future. Highly recommended!!??”
“Jeffrey took wonderful care of our 4 year old boxer Maggie. We got her back happy and relaxed! I loved receiving his daily update about how Maggie was doing while we were away.”
“This is the second time Shanna takes care of Galaxy. Great as always! Send sweet pictures and updates everyday. Very flexibility about pick up and drop off time. I am also glad to see Galaxy making so many different friends at Shanna’s house! :)”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Julie took the BEST care of our little guy on our first trip away from him since we got him. She took many pictures and shared them with us and just treated him like one of her own pets. We appreciated seeing how much love he received while we were gone!”
“Nikki is amazing, her daughter too. My dog Lucy fell in love with this house and family! She felt at home right away. Nikki sent lots of pictures, and that was fabulous, as this was my first time leaving my dog with anyone other than family. Highly recommend her.”
“Frank & Julie are Phenomenal! I was quite nervous about trying again to find temporary care for my dog after a poor experience on another pet sitting app. I read all the other positive reviews for this couple and anxiously decided to move forward with booking. I am so pleased with the care they provided! I feel they went above and beyond for my dog. I'm so grateful I found them instead of boarding, where he'd have had very little attention and interaction. Instead he got the love and attention he could want and all the comforts of home. I will happily continue to use their service.”
“10/10 Highly recommend! Jamie did an amazing job with our pups. We haven't left them before for any period of time, so were a bit nervous about how they would do. Jamie was exactly the person they needed. She welcomed them into her home and made their stay absolutely perfect.”
“This was our first time leaving our puppy with someone else and I am so glad I chose Chelsea. She made me feel that my very energetic puppy would be well cared for. She shared updates with me, including pictures of what he was up to and how he was adjusting. Our puppy came home happy and well cared for.”
“Caitlin & Samuel were amazing with our dog! They provided pictures every day and were very flexible when we had to adjust our drop off time. We will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Holly was amazing to work with! She treated our dog as one of her own and went above and beyond with sending pictures and videos throughout the stay. She will be the first person I ask the next time we need care for our dog!”
“Anne did a great job watching my new puppy of 5 months. She welcomed him into her lovely home, played with him, took him on a walk and let him sleep on her bed with her. She was very caring and attentive.”
