“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!!”
“Anu and her family did a wonderful job of taking care of our Trooper. He had a fantastic time and took quite the nap after getting home from all the playing! They made sure they knew Trooper’s routine and we received pictures and videos multiple times a day to keep us updated on how he was doing. I highly recommend Anu and her family to care for your pet!”
“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.”
“Melissa and family were great. Perfect location for me and Winnie had a blast. The daily pics let me know he was in great hands! I am glad I found Melissa and will use her again and again.”
“Kelley and her Husband were AWESOME! SUPER friendly and kept me update on my Thorin. My Thorin seemed extremely happy and they took good care of him. Remind you guys, my Throin is. Belgian Malinois and I thought he was going to be too much for Kelley and her husband. But they were able to keep up with him. HIGHLY recommend!!!!”
“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!!”
“Daily pics or video of our boy living his best life away from home. Would completely use Heather and her family again in the future. Zeus was excited to get home, and promptly assumed his usual position relaxing on our couch after he went outside. 100% recommend!”
“Bobbie and Clark are great! Friendly and communicates well. They were very welcoming and attentive to Gracie’s needs and what we were looking for. Definitely one of my favorite dog families! Will be boarding with them again!”
“Kristina was a wonderful stepmom to our dog, Luna. Luna came back to us in great health and very happy. Kristina was very accommodating and polite with all communication. She was always quick to respond to any message I sent her. Luna kept her same routine and Kristina was even very willing to give Luna meds she needed. I would recommend anyone to use Kristina for their dog sitting needs and we will certainly ask her to watch Luna again!”
“Jessica & Chase were excellent dog sitters for my Coco. I got pictures and updates each day. They showed so much care and concern for Coco. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Melissa was awesome with my golden retriever. He needed some extra attention and she was more than happy to make sure his needs were cared for. I would recommend Melissa to anyone. Thank you again!”
“Jeffrey was amazing with communication from the start of booking all the way to the end of the trip. He truly eased my fears of leaving my dog for the first time ever. He took her on walks and just gave her so much love and TLC. He gave daily updates on my dog and even sent pictures. Eased my heart for sure. He was truly amazing with my dog Belle and I will definitely be using him in the future.”
“Korri was able to help us out in a pinch and took our dog over the long weekend! She took SUCH good care of him and treated him as her own! She sent us updates and many pictures!!! She was very timely with her response and we never worried about if our dog was in good hand our whole trip! ?Thanks again Korri!”
“Denise and her family were so wonderful! She sent pictures regularly and helped with scout when my flight was cancelled. Scout enjoyed her time with them and we are both grateful!”
“Gina surpassed all my expectations! Dolly could not have had a better experience with her. She sent me pictures and videos of Dolly enjoying every minute of her little vacation. It is easy to see how much Gina cares about dogs and their owners! She is a ray of light with boundless attentiveness to Dolly's wants and needs. I can't wait until the next time Dolly gets to be with Gina. She makes sure the time is nurturing and fun! Thanks so much!”

“Sara was great with our 3 cats. She followed all of our instructions to a T and had great communication. We will definitely contact again for our future cat sitting needs!”
“Josh does a fantastic job watching Aspen. He always makes sure she enjoys his company and that she gets energy out. Josh also goes above and beyond, leaving detailed notes about his visits and takes plenty of pictures. I would highly recommend Josh to care for your dog.”
“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.”
“Cassandra was amazing with my little parrot, Mochi. She was originally only supposed to check-in on her once a day for about two weeks, but this got extended to a total of a month because I was diagnosed with cancer really unexpectedly and had to get surgery. Thanks to Cassandra, I felt 100% comfortable about Mochi's health, happiness, and well-being!”
About: I’ve had cats since I was a tiny little child. I currently have two cats in my own home, one senior (who we rescued when he was one) and one young cat who we found as a stray kitten. I treat all animals as I would if they were my own.
“Christina has been blessing for me and my cats! - She is very sweet, gentle, caring and truly takes care of your cats as her own. Although I missed my babies when I went on vacation, I knew they were well taken care of and that gave me the peace of mind I needed to relax during my trip. She updates you regularly and is very good at following instructions. She even brought some toys for my kitties! Upon my return, I came back home to happy cats and a clean home! I highly recommend Christina and would hire her again!!”
About: Available for doggy day care as well as overnight and long term boarding in our home. Experienced in taking care of cats, dogs, and small animals of all ages and needs. My partner and I have owned and sat several dogs and cats for the past 20 years. I will take care of your pets like they are my own, and will thoroughly follow any instructions provided for their care. I am able to take dogs on walks as much as needed and am close to both the Appleton and Kaukauna dog parks. I currently own 3 small dogs and 2 cats, 4 of which are rescues. I live in a quiet area of Kaukauna and am available most nights and weekends. Hope to hear from you! I work from home at least 2 days per week and my fiancée works from home full time. We do not work weekends. It’s common for us to have visiting dogs hanging in our home offices with us during their stay meaning your dog will get lots of attention from us! We make sure to monitor any visiting dogs multiple times per day, provide separation with multiple gates in our home when needed, always watch during feeding times, and provide regular updates on how your dog is doing with photos.
About: I very much enjoy taking care of animals on my free time! I have over 8 years of experience with dog and cat sitting! I also have worked at a daycare and boarding facility to meet the needs to pets that come to stay and play! I have an open schedule to provide sitting for your pet! I currently have one young beagle who lives with me! And I know I can make time to help others who have pets that may have a busy schedule! I am accommodating for your pets needs and will provide caring and fun experience for your pet! I love to reward your pet for good behavior and to connect a stronger relationship with your pet!
About: Hello! Over the last few years, I have gained experience in caring for dogs in daycare and boarding settings, as well as in some training settings. The knowledge that I have gained from these experiences sets me apart because I now know the importance of building trust with pets. I am an advocate for positive reinforcement training methods, and have some experience with Fear Free methods as well. While I do not have any dog training certifications, I have had the opportunity to work alongside some wonderful dog professionals who have expanded my knowledge and understanding of what it means to advocate for all dogs, especially those who may be a bit more fearful. If you have a pet who needs to take things slow, or has some behaviors that may not make them successful in a dog daycare setting, I would be happy to see if I can make it into their "safe people" club! After 3 years working full-time in the dog care industry, I have become fluent in dog body language and communication. If you have questions about your dog's behavior, I'm happy to give you my best input and point you in the direction of resources that may be a good fit for you and your pet! I am also happy to take care of baths and nails for dogs as long as you have supplies. I have 3 years of professional experience in both, but no haircuts:) I am working part time in the mornings and evenings for a few hours at a time, so I can fill my schedule around those hours with hanging out with your pet! In caring for your pup, I will monitor their behavior and ensure they are happy and excited about any activities we may be doing. When on walks, I like to keep away from any other dogs or people we may come upon, just to ensure everyone's safety and comfort. I keep a close eye on our surroundings, both on walks and in homes, to ensure nothing ends up in the mouths of curious pups that shouldn't be there.
About: Pet care for 20+ years! I have a true heart for animals and a passion for exercising with them to promote their physical, mind and spiritual health! I will love yours like my own!❤️ I work full time M-F in pediatric health care and take care of our animals before and after work. I am also free most weekends! My husband works from home and has a flexible schedule during the day. Our daughter (11 years old) also loves to help with the animals! We are an outdoorsy, nature-loving family! We love to walk the dogs in the neighborhood and let them play and sniff all over our large yard. We currently have 2 dogs living with us - Oreo, a terrier, and Duke, a tripod yellow lab! Both are friendly rescue pups:)
“Michelle was lovely to work with and very responsive. She was always forward about what was happening and on time. She definitely loves animals and understands how much we love our pets!”
About: My family have been cat people for my whole life. At one time we had 14 including the outdoor babies! I love cats so much. Big or small, we’ve loved them all. I have two orange ones of my own and love spending time with them. I’d love to care for yours!
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.

“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!”
“Emily took such good care of our Obi! Emily and her family took him in like their own! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was very attentive to all our puppy’s needs 😊 🩷 Would highly recommend Emily for all your pets needs!”
“Cristy was amazing! Her home was so cute and tidy. She has a sweet little dog that played so well with my dog whom normally doesn’t care much for others. Cristy was kind, communicative, and flexible.”
“Our rescues feel comfortable going to Bobbie and Clark’s and love to snuggle with the whole family. Thank you for giving them a secure environment away from home!”

About: Hi, I’m Melissa! What sets me apart is my deep lifelong passion for animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs and cats from their very first days all the way through their golden years. On top of that, we’ve had horses for over 20 years and many outdoor cats too! I’m very comfortable giving medications, shots, and, of course, providing lots of love and attention. Taking care of pets isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. Right now, I have a super flexible schedule since I’m not working outside the home, which means I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I’m available anytime and happy to fit into your pet’s normal routine. I live on a 10 1/2-acre property, so there’s plenty of safe space for dogs to run, explore, and just be themselves. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time to take care of and play with your pups or cats. I’m available anytime Monday through Friday. I have a 10 1/2 acre property with plenty of room for animals to run and get their energy out. I have a long leash and I also have crates.
“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: I have part-time pup named Teddie, who you can see in my photos. I cared for my parents' elderly dog for two months, and I occasional provide daily care for another friend's dog. I'm looking forward to making more pet connections, and I hope to meet your animal companions very soon! I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have significant flexibility in my schedule. I will work with you to make sure all your pet's needs are met! I am happy to care for your pets at your home, or mine. We are best set up to care for dogs at our home, with easy access to our backyard and a longer, outdoor leash (no fence). My eleven-year-old enjoys animals as well, and he often scooters with me during doggie walks. I have experience with elderly dogs and anxious dogs.
“This was a last minute need so it was great he could watch Cody with very short notice. Cody is an older dog and does not take change well, so it was fantastic he was excited to return the next day which means Cody really enjoyed his stay. Great care and communication! Cody was all smiles!”
About: Since childhood, I have been responsible for the care of various animals, including dogs, cats, and small animals of diverse species. Among these, dogs hold a special place in my heart as my favorite animal. As a full-time stay-at-home mother, I am constantly at home with my children and dogs. During the summer months, we thoroughly enjoy spending time outdoors. I have a spacious backyard that is not fenced in, but I have a long tie-out if needed for your furry friends. Your pets will be well cared for.
“Shanna is the best! Such great care given to our pup. He absolutely loves getting to play at her house. He’s so excited the minute we get there because he gets lots of exercise and playtime!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, horses, ducks, and rabbits. I also had a great deal of time with other animals such as cows, and chickens at my Grandpa's dairy farm. One of my past jobs was being a dog sitter, to care for them, and do some training as well. I loved it! 🙂😁 I now have a German Shepard and Husky mix named Apollo, and I love teaching him new things, spending time with him, and of course taking care of him. 🥰❤️ I'm currently working as a house cleaner, and although I love the job, I would like to work some more hours. Sometimes clients cancel or reschedule cleanings resulting in less hours. I'm looking to do this hopefully full time, as I miss working with dogs. 🙂😁 I currently have a huge yard, but I can also give walks if suggested. I'm welcoming any animals except cats due to my boyfriend being allergic. I will do my very best to help any of your fur babies feel at home. 💌😁
“Kimberly and her sweet son were so kind and welcoming. She was very conscientious of my dog's needs and sent many photos/updates throughout the day. Playtime and trails walks wore her out! She slept the whole way home. Thank you for taking such good care of our Emma!”
“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!”
About: I've always had dogs in our family and sense getting older continue to love them. I handle all the training for my dogs and even do bikejoring with them! I frequent the local dog park weekly and go on frequent walks as well. I have a large fenced in area (and an electric portion on top to defer dog nappers!) With free access of water and feedings twice a day (or more if your dog needs it!) your pups will feel right at home with me. I have basic first aid knowledge and did complete a semester of vet tech in collage so I can handle pretty much anything from pills to injections. Your dog will be treated like family and thus will get better treatment than most humans! LOL I’ve been running and maintaining my own business as a handywoman for the last few years but miss the interactions with other dogs! My schedule is very flexible for that reason. As stated in a previous section I have a fenced in yard with free access of fresh water and feeding done twice a day. My dogs are both house trained and crate trained. They also are great with other dogs. In my fenced in backyard it’s about 90% privacy fence and is currently in the process of being cleaned up after the pool had a leak and ruined a lot of the stuff we had back there including a jungle gym for the dogs.
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 would stop daily after work around 3:45pm to play and take walks. I took a separation package from my employer 5/1/25 and now would like to offer walks, daycare, drop in visits and boarding . With boarding, For larger dogs, they WILL be crated at night. Your dog will be crated when I play pickleball in the mornings. I do have a crate(s). Please note if sending a request there may be a delay in responding due to pickleball between 9:30 - 12:30 approximate times. I currently have two dog walking appointments from 11:45am -1:45pm Monday-Thursday. 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.
“Shelby was wonderful and communicated with us the entire stay and kept us updated on how they were doing. We are traveling and went to a Packers game and toured Greenbay. Pistol Annie and Stetson had great care and would highly recommend Shelby to keep your fur babies.”

“Josh is so good with my boy Jaxon. You can tell he really loves what he does and goes above and beyond no matter the weather to get him out on his walks and always gives me a detailed Rover card and pics. I work long days so it's nice knowing my boy is being taken care of.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life and I love to go on walks! I’m a medical student and am looking for ways to be active and enjoy some friendly pet time! Thanks! My schedule is different weekly so I’m very flexible with when I’m able to dog walk, depending on the time and day of the week. I live in a safe community where there aren’t a lot of speedy cars driving and there is also a fenced in area for dogs to play
About: I have been caring for dogs my entire life! I grew up with dogs and started dog sitting and dog walking at age 12. Since then i have worked at a doggy daycare, feeding, caring for, cleaning, exercising, and administering health care to all breeds and types of dogs! I am currently enrolled in college but am able to work really any day of the week depending on the times! I am most available in the afternoon but am overall very flexible and willing! I always make sure to provide your pet with a safe, calm environment while also keeping them entertained. I will be fully responsible for your pet and make sure it is well taken care of!
“Bango seems to really enjoy his walks with Travis! I LOVE the pictures I get of Bango that Travis takes during the walks. Travis is very accommodating for whatever you need!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages since I was in elementary school. I have had family dogs all my life and now I have 2 dogs of my own. I raised one as a puppy and then adopted his brother about 2 years later. Raising my dogs has educated me in all the needs a dog possibly needs from food/water to stimulation to exercise. I’m around many weekends so I have a lot of flexibility and open time to drop in and take care of your dog! Whether it’s taking them for longs walks or just hanging out and keeping them company. If my dogs could talk they would probably tell you they are the kings of the house. The dogs in my home are treated like humans. Nothing but the best. They are allowed on furniture, beds, toys are out all day long. Having very high energy dogs of my own, I often go on many walks and hikes all around the area.
“Leslie-Ann is great with my dog! She reads his cues so well. On top of that she is responsive and flexible to work with, depending on what we need help with…walks, play, drop in care, etc. So communicative and positive to be around.”

About: I strive to make the animals in my care happy and comfortable. You can breathe a sigh of relief when I’m the one taking care of your fur children. I’ve had all types of animals myself and have worked at an animal shelter. Currently I have 1 cat and 1 dog. At one time I had horses, goats, pigs, and chickens to care for. Pets are like little angels, so pure and honest. They just want to please us. It makes me happy to return the favor. Pet care makes up the majority of my working day. I try to be 100% present for each pet I take care of since this is my job and animals always deserve my full attention. I share my home with 1 cat (Skully) and 1 dog (Vito), and of course, my husband. My pets are laid back and Vito loves meeting new doggy friends. When I care for an animal in my client’s home I try to stick to the pet’s feeding and exercise schedule as best I can. I feel like giving the animals pets or playtime if they want it, is just as important as the basics like feeding. My goal is to keep your pet’s stress level minimal. It’s hard enough for them when you’re gone.

About: I have always had a dog in the house since I can remember and now have 2 loveable dogs that we walk often. Sadie is 13 years-old and Cooper is 7 years-old and they are the best of friends! My son asked for this to be his first job because he loves dogs so much. He has been walking ours for 1 year now and was always helping us with them since he was little. He is at school now so it will just be me and possibly my 7 year-old daughter who loves dogs and would be coming to unless you ask for no kids :). My son will be back to helping once school is finished. They both have been very responsible with our dogs, helping to bathe them, soothe them, scoop poop and walk our dogs for awhile now. We are all very responsible, trustworthy, respectable caring family. we would love to help take care of yours the best we can, while you are away :) I am a stay-at-home mom and homeschool my 2 kids, so we have a lot of flexibility in our schedule to help meet your dog needs. My son and I will only be offering dog walking and any other dog care needs you may need in your home. We do not do overnight sitting, but we would love to visit your dogs and love on them and give them lots of attention while we are there.
“Briana came out and walked my dog for me for a week while I had longer working hours. Duke loved her, she was prompt and had great communication! I so appreciated her coming out of her way to get him out and will absolutely be booking again!”
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: I've spent my entire life having animals and loved them for my entire life. I've had cats my entire life, and often this is not lent itself well to me also owning a dog. We currently own three cats one 12 year old lady, and two 2 year old brothers. When I was young I would walk the neighbor's dog just so I could get some dog time in. In college and after college I had several roommates who had dogs I lived with, who I would also help care for either just for fun or while they were gone. I have also taken care of friends dogs while they are out of town on vacation. I have experience with cats from 6 weeks old all the way up to end of life. I have experience in giving cats medication, special diets, special instructions and any other quirks your cat may have. I'm experienced in walking dogs, playing with dogs, feeding dogs (including special diets) and while I love larger dogs, I currently am unable to care for them due to a medical condition and it only able to care for a small dogs. I'm currently taking a break from my career and have very flexible availability, both during the week and on the weekends. I do request 24 hours notice. I will take care of your pets with the instructions you leave me with. I will rely on you as the pet parent to make all major decisions and follow your rules as best as possible. I am great with communication and will regularly communicate with you to show you how your pets are doing while you're out of town and ask any questions that arise while you're gone.
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’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: Experienced pet lover and devoted fur mom of two offering compassionate, reliable care. I treat every pet like family and focus on creating a safe, loving, stress-free experience while you’re away. You can expect attentive communication, dependable service, and personalized care tailored to your pet’s routine and personality. My fiancé and I do work full time, and so if you opt for a week day stay, know they’ll be home alone :) My fiancé and I work FT jobs, but we are home earlier afternoon and have the whole night to love on them. We do not have a fenced in yard so plenty of walks are had! We make sure if we have your pet on the weekend, that we get things done early in the day so we have the rest of the time playing! We treat all dogs like they are own. I ask for vet information and if you will be gone for over a week, I ask that you inform your vet that your pet is with a babysitter. We do not have kids in the house FT, so there are no toys to be chewed on, just dog toys :) We do require all dogs to have all vaccinations.

“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!!”
“Anu and her family did a wonderful job of taking care of our Trooper. He had a fantastic time and took quite the nap after getting home from all the playing! They made sure they knew Trooper’s routine and we received pictures and videos multiple times a day to keep us updated on how he was doing. I highly recommend Anu and her family to care for your pet!”
“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.”
“Melissa and family were great. Perfect location for me and Winnie had a blast. The daily pics let me know he was in great hands! I am glad I found Melissa and will use her again and again.”
“Kelley and her Husband were AWESOME! SUPER friendly and kept me update on my Thorin. My Thorin seemed extremely happy and they took good care of him. Remind you guys, my Throin is. Belgian Malinois and I thought he was going to be too much for Kelley and her husband. But they were able to keep up with him. HIGHLY recommend!!!!”
“Daily pics or video of our boy living his best life away from home. Would completely use Heather and her family again in the future. Zeus was excited to get home, and promptly assumed his usual position relaxing on our couch after he went outside. 100% recommend!”
“Melissa was awesome with my golden retriever. He needed some extra attention and she was more than happy to make sure his needs were cared for. I would recommend Melissa to anyone. Thank you again!”
“Jeffrey was amazing with communication from the start of booking all the way to the end of the trip. He truly eased my fears of leaving my dog for the first time ever. He took her on walks and just gave her so much love and TLC. He gave daily updates on my dog and even sent pictures. Eased my heart for sure. He was truly amazing with my dog Belle and I will definitely be using him in the future.”
“Korri was able to help us out in a pinch and took our dog over the long weekend! She took SUCH good care of him and treated him as her own! She sent us updates and many pictures!!! She was very timely with her response and we never worried about if our dog was in good hand our whole trip! ?Thanks again Korri!”
“Denise and her family were so wonderful! She sent pictures regularly and helped with scout when my flight was cancelled. Scout enjoyed her time with them and we are both grateful!”
“Gina surpassed all my expectations! Dolly could not have had a better experience with her. She sent me pictures and videos of Dolly enjoying every minute of her little vacation. It is easy to see how much Gina cares about dogs and their owners! She is a ray of light with boundless attentiveness to Dolly's wants and needs. I can't wait until the next time Dolly gets to be with Gina. She makes sure the time is nurturing and fun! Thanks so much!”
“We loved working with Kimberly. She watched our dog for the first time and suggested a meet and greet to make sure she was a good fit with her own dog. We loved that and it made us trust her from the start. When we met her, Kimberly asked us many questions about our dog that made us feel like she would take very good care of her. Also, Kimberly’s home is quite literally the perfect set up for dogs. We know that our dog loved staying there and we enjoyed the updates Kimberly sent us throughout her stay. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Cass was very good to our fur babies! I have two poodles, one of which is two years old and one that is almost a year old so still a puppy, and she did absolutely wonderful with them. Between the several updates and many pictures, I was put at ease knowing that my babies were being well taken care of. With lots of play, love, and walks they were happily exhausted by the time we picked them up from a fun filled weekend. I would recommend her if you want someone diligent and attentive to your dogs while also giving them many opportunities to have fun and enjoy the outdoors.”
“Brooke is so sweet and our dog Milton is so comfortable with her. It was his first time boarding with someone who isn't family and we're so glad it was with Brooke. Will definitely book again.”
