“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bobbi was absolutely amazing with my Lily while I was traveling! Lily is super clingy and anxious and I was nervous to leave her, but she was so well-taken care of.. to the point that she fell in love with Bobbi’s husband. 😂 I had zero worries the entire time - Bobbi sent just the right amount of updates/pics and it was super clear Lily was happy and just fine without me. I’m so grateful and would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
“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.”
“Anu and her family are so amazing! They have kept our dog, Nala, many times over the last year and each time is just as great as the first time! We are so thankful to know such a kind, caring, and attentive family. Thank you, Anu!”
“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’s house was perfect for my dog Tasha because Tasha HATES other animals and Maria doesn’t have any pets. Tasha was pampered, and Maria sent me some really adorable pictures of her while I was out of town. Then, when my plane was extremely delayed on my way home, Maria stayed up to past midnight so I could pick Tasha up before heading home. I was so appreciative. 10 stars!”
“Jeff was fantastic with Maggie and Jabba and went above and beyond during their stay. He was incredibly attentive to their individual needs, handled some extra care logistics for me while I was away, followed their instructions closely, and kept me updated throughout the trip. Both dogs came home happy and clearly well cared for. I felt very comfortable having them with Jeff and would absolutely trust him with them again.”
“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!”
“Buford loves going to visit! Heather is great with him, sends pictures and videos and makes sure he is well taken care of. We’d highly recommend them to watch your dog.”
“Melissa and her family did such a great job with Tucker while we were out of state for a family wedding. Tucker tends to have separation anxiety when away from his people, but he was very at home with Melissa! Thank you for providing peace of mind while we were away!”
“Kristal and Scott were really great sitters. My Sophia was well taken care of and loved by them. She sent me updates on her and pictures almost on a daily basis. I would recommend them and use them in the future.”
“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!!”
“Kristina is always positive and professional. Her confidence and experience makes it easy to leave Ginger with her. We didn't worry at all during our week long vacation and from the pictures and texts from Kristina I think Ginger had as much fun as we did. Ginger is a 9 month old puppy who is kind of high maintenance at times, but Kristina clearly can handle her with no problems. I think we'll schedule some daycare days soon!”
“Shanna is one of the best sitters I’ve ever had! She was wonderful with my sensitive Frenchie while he stayed in her home over the weekend. She was communicative, asked great questions, and was incredibly accommodating of my pup’s needs - including medication and special mealtime instructions. We’re so grateful to her!”
“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!”
“Gina was wonderful!! She loved Roxy as if she was her own fur baby. Roxy is a senior Yorkie (13-14 years old) who has spent very little time away from us, yet she was obviously happy while at Gina’s as she ate and wasn’t shaking when we left her or picked her up. Gina sent us pictures each day of Roxy playing, on walks and napping with Mack (her chihuahua who is sweet and adorable). Highly recommend!! 10/10 5 STARS”
“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.”
“We loved Cassandra! She kept us well informed of Ginger's stay while we were away. She told us each time Ginger was administered her seizure medication which was so helpful in making me at ease. She took her for playtime and we could tell she treated her like she was her own! Our plans changed a bit and Cassandra was bery accommodating! Highly recommend!”

“Great experience! Sara took wonderful care of my pet, always arrived within the timeframe, spent the entire allotted time giving love and affection, sent pics, asked great questions. Will definitely use Sara again!”
“Melissa continues to impress us with her thoughtful care of our dog. She sends great updates from her visits to keep us in the loop as to what is going on while we aren’t around. She’s the best!”
“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.”
“Josh has done an amazing job with our senior dog who has sight and hearing issues. He was always very responsive to our dog’s needs and took great care to let me know how things were going. Josh is a great Rover care-giver! Would ABSOLUTELY recommend and will use again in the future!”
“The care that was provided to our Zeema was exceptional, we got photos with updates every day, every couple hours. Caitlin is exceptionally professional, kind, and a whole hearted person. Her love of animals shows through and through. If we ever need a sitter again, she’s our top choice!”
“Mickayla was awesome! She was a great communicator the entire time we were gone. We felt very comfortable having her in our home taking care of our cat, Herman. She also had great suggestions and let us know about a scab on Herman that we didn’t even know about so we can keep an eye on it and get it checked out by our vet if needed. We definitely would love for her to sit Herman again when we are out of town.”
“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 had pets since I was very little (including exotics) and currently have 3 cats. I am a veterinary assistant so I am able to administer medications and pay close attention to your pets health and behavior!
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.
“Cassandra was fantastic! She stopped by the week before for a meet-and-greet and immediately sat on the floor to let our three dogs meet her. They took to her immediately. She provided lots of pictures and information when she came over, so we knew just how the dogs were. Highly recommended!”
“We booked Jadira for a second time, since we had a good experience the first time, and highly recommend her. She is reliable, consistent, and my dog really enjoys her company. I am so appreciative of her accepting a last minute request. She takes a lot of photos and videos and keeps you updated throughout the day. 🙂 My dog is nervous around strangers and she took to her right away.”
“Briana was a fantastic catsitter for our very shy and anxious kitty. That fact that she sent me actual pictures of him is miraculous because usually he hides from strangers! Obviously she has a gift and we’d definitely have her back :)”
“Michelle was fantastic! She kept me posted with pictures at the visit times. She also talked me through what to expect while using Rover since it was my first time using the service. Thank you so much Michelle!”
About: I have a handsome 8 yo tabby who I love dearly, and have also foster multiple stray kitties into new homes! Over the years I have helped countless neighbors with the cats while they are away. I also loves kitty snuggles, but will not take offense if your friend would rather be loved from afar!
“I was so anxious leaving my two cats while on a two week trip abroad - I’d never been away from them so far or for so long. It took a couple of days, but then they warmed right up to Jeanne. She had tuned into what they needed and provided consistent care - along with great updates and photos from each visit for me - allowing me to focus on my trip. When I returned, I found two happy, well-adjusted cats waiting for me. It was such a relief to know they were in such good hands with Jeanne!”
“Sarah was an excellent cat sitter! She responded to my last minute request very quickly and kept in contact throughout the stay. She was also flexible with our drop off and pick up changes. I think our kitten had such a good time that she did not want to leave. Would highly recommend Sarah and will use her pet sitting service again.”
About: As a long time owner of dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles I have the skills, patience, and experience to safely and lovingly watch over your fur friend/s. Being around all the pets especially dogs has always been a natural passion of mine. As much of a service this is for you and your dog, it is also very much beneficial to my own health and well being. I have learned over the years that dogs respond very well to my voice, commands, and body language. A lot of love, care, and compassion to give. I have an open schedule and availability with flexibility to meet any requests! Monday-Sunday. Mornings, Afternoons, or Evenings. I look forward to being a helping hand in enhancing the lifespan and overall well being of your best friend :) My current daily routine and schedule is in need of dog walking and pet sitting. I am focusing on pet care and curating a more pet filled lifestyle. Although I will not be using my own home for pet care services, I can guarantee that the level of care given will be treated as if it were my own.
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: I've grown up with pets all my life. I had a dog and a cat as a kid and teen along with fish and reptiles. I currently have a beautiful cat now. I love being around animals and taking care of them. Brightens my whole day when I can just cuddle with my fur babies. Every morning I clean my cats bowls and refill them with water and dry food and I also give my cat wet food in the morning. I clean the litter pan twice a day as well. When I had a dog same thing except I would walk him twice a day and take him out to potty every 2-4 hours. Have a large back yard with posts to keep pets leashed but enough to roam the yard. I have a dog park within minutes from my home too! If you want your fur baby in a crate I have room to put crates up.

“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!”
“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!”
About: I’m the type of person who goes to a party and makes friends with the dog. My friends know I’m around when they see a blanket covering up their sleeping pup. My family has nicknamed me dog girl because I take on the challenge of caring for all of them during family functions. I have experience with dogs who need medication, eye drops, ear drops, or who have health issues. I work from home so I am able to hangout with your pet all day! I have a very flexible work schedule if appointments are needed. I prefer to care for dogs in my home but can watch in your home, let out during the day, and check on your home if away. At my home I leash all pets when letting them out. Dogs are allowed on my furniture, I even have a chair next to my work desk incase they want to lounge around on the job.
“Bobbie and Clark have watched our rescues a couple of times now, and seemed happy to see them again. Our most sensitive hesitant dog tried to follow Bonnie back the house when it was time to come home! Feel relieved to have them available to watch our loved ones when we can’t be home.”
About: I am a stay at home mom to my two (respectful) children. This means that your furbaby will never be alone and will receive my 24/7 love and attention! I have two sweet pups of my own (one of which is a senior) and two loving cats. I adore animals and am comfortable giving medications, accommodating special requests, and doing anything else to make your pet feel comfortable and at home! We are a homeschooling family with one stay at home parent and one work from home parent. Your pet quite literally will never be alone and will receive constant love, play, exercise, and supervision! I have a fenced in backyard attached to my house where your furbaby can play freely. I have two dogs and two cats that are very socialized and comfortable around other animals. Your pet truly will be treated as another family member during their stay with us.
“We are thankful for Shanna looking after Bailey while we were able to tour Green Bay! She provided updates rite away how Bailey was doing interacting with the other dogs in her care. She also provided updates throughout the day. She is only blocks away from Lambeau Field if you want the stadium tour or game.”
“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: 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.
“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’m a dog person through and through! I’ve only ever owned dogs my whole life, and I’d never have it any other way. Training them, playing with them, taking care of them, it all brings me so much joy. To me, dogs are one of life’s greatest gifts, a true blessing from God. They love without conditions and make every day a little brighter. I wouldn’t trade a single wagging tail or muddy paw print for anything. I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I’m great with communication and always happy to keep you in the loop. Just give me a quick call or text, and I’d be more than glad to update you on how your dog is doing. Your pup will feel right at home with me! I have a fenced yard and a loving Australian Shepherd named Stryda, who’s sweet and playful with all dogs. Your dog will always have fresh water, plenty of playtime, and a comfy, safe space to relax. I’ll keep them active, well cared for, and showered with attention throughout the day. Whether it’s a good play session, a cozy nap, or just some cuddles, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own, and I’m always happy to keep you updated however you’d like.

About: PLEASE read the Entire profile as it contains details of my daily activity while I care for your dog. I grew 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 . During your boarding, Larger dog's WILL be crated at night. Your dog will be crated when I play pickleball in the mornings. I do have a crate(s).

Looking forward to having your dog while you are away 🐾🦴 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, her family and thier dogs welcomed Nala in on short notice and treated her like one of their own. This was our first experience leaving our puppy with a non-family member and we couldn’t be more happy. Shelby’s home is filled with love and we couldn’t have been more pleased with her care of Nala. We will definitely use Shelby again!”
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!
About: My Journey in Animal Care: Personal and Professional Insights My experience in animal care combines both personal passion and professional expertise. For more than 20 years, I've had the joy of owning pets with scales, feathers, and fur. On the professional front, I have been involved in pet grooming, boarding, and veterinary clinics. Currently, I serve as a large animal equine veterinary assistant. Living on a farm in the countryside, I don’t have any dogs or cats, which means your beloved pet will receive dedicated, personalized care. I have a very flexible open schedule to suit your needs of finding a pet boarder. I am available weekdays or weekends. We can communicate if there is any changes. Most of the pet parents I work with provide me with thorough instructions for caring for their pets. I encourage clients to arrange a meet-and-greet with me before their pet's stay to discuss all details and address any health concerns. Furthermore, I want the pets to feel completely at ease with both me and my home prior to their stay.
“Melanie took great care of Sadie. Sadie had an amazing time working on new commands/tricks, getting her zoomies out in the yard, and playing with puzzle toys! I would 100% recommend Melanie to anyone looking for daycare or other services. She was very responsive and a pleasure to have watch Sadie.”
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!

“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!”
“Josh and my dog Jaxon got along great from the start. This was my first time having someone other than family take care of him so I was nervous but his daily Rover cards with the description of the day and pictures are awesome and makes my day away from my dog better. Jaxon gets so excited when he comes over now because he loves going on walks with him and the treats he gives him!”
“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'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: 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 have years of experience caring for my own pets and pet-sitting for others. My experience includes all age ages and sizes of dogs and cats, including rescue animals, French bulldogs, pitbulls and Persian cats. I also have some experience with giving medication to pets and caring for small animals such as hedgehogs and rabbits. I love all kinds of animals and take pride in understanding and respecting a pet's unique needs and boundaries, such as petting and feeding needs. I look forward to giving your pet the same love and respect I give my own! Over this summer I am completely flexible as I will be attending university at the start of fall. I will have a very flexible schedule for both booking appointments and playing/walking with your animals. I like to keep a strict feeding schedule-which can fit to your pets needs if they already have one-and a minimum walk time of 30 minutes daily. Pets are allowed everywhere in both yard and home. If needed or wanted I am willing and happy to send daily photos and/or videos of your pet to you for peace of mind!
About: I have helped my daughter take care of her dog when she was on vacation multiple times. I really enjoy going on walks, so your dog will be pretty active. I currently work part-time on Saturday and Sunday, totaling 10 hours. I am free to help with any pet care needs, and will not be out of the house for too long. Pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. I will care for your pet the way you would and make sure they’re getting the love and attention they need!
“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: 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.
About: I've grown up with pets all my life. I had a dog and a cat as a kid and teen along with fish and reptiles. I currently have a beautiful cat now. I love being around animals and taking care of them. Brightens my whole day when I can just cuddle with my fur babies. Every morning I clean my cats bowls and refill them with water and dry food and I also give my cat wet food in the morning. I clean the litter pan twice a day as well. When I had a dog same thing except I would walk him twice a day and take him out to potty every 2-4 hours. Have a large back yard with posts to keep pets leashed but enough to roam the yard. I have a dog park within minutes from my home too! If you want your fur baby in a crate I have room to put crates up.
About: Hello! I’m Taylor, a 23 year old animal lover with over 14 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. 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. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, 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, 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 believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. I work full time and am responsible for being there Monday-Saturday but only if there are appointments. I’m available before work, in the afternoon/evenings, and on weekends for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly, so if you have a specific schedule or timing in mind, feel free to reach out. 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: Hello my name is Kylee. I have grown up with dogs my entire life. My family owned a dog daycare for several years that I took every opportunity to go there.. I have experienced in pet sitting. My biggest emphasis while pet sitting is keeping the pet parent daily informed with updates and pictures. I have an appreciation for pets with special needs meaning health related things, because my dogs has a strict diet that needs to be followed I am currently working as an activity director at an assisted living. My hours are 7:45 to 4:15 Monday- Friday. Once every month I do work weekends. I have a fenced in yard that has recently been put in. My dogs are extremely friendly with all types of dogs and cats. I am 100% open to staying at your place if you would prefer that instead.

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 have grown up with pets, dogs specifically my entire life! I love dogs of all ages, all shapes and sizes! Having an animal companion to spend time with is some of the best company you can ever have! In my family I have helped raise/train puppies, we have also fostered in my household, and I have taken care of animals for friends and family. I am a very active person, I teach phy ed, so I love getting out for walks or runs. I am a teacher, so during the summer my hours are pretty flexible. I do have to teach summer school in the mornings for a short period of time, but then I am available for mid morning or lunch time pet breaks! Making sure all animals are safe and well taken care of is very important to me. Following instructions on how a dog best responds is very critical. Dogs are animals of habit when trained, so I want to continue to follow routines and expectations that their owner has. In my full time job I am trusted with children and I understand that for many people, pets are loved just as much as a child.
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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bobbi was absolutely amazing with my Lily while I was traveling! Lily is super clingy and anxious and I was nervous to leave her, but she was so well-taken care of.. to the point that she fell in love with Bobbi’s husband. 😂 I had zero worries the entire time - Bobbi sent just the right amount of updates/pics and it was super clear Lily was happy and just fine without me. I’m so grateful and would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
“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.”
“Anu and her family are so amazing! They have kept our dog, Nala, many times over the last year and each time is just as great as the first time! We are so thankful to know such a kind, caring, and attentive family. Thank you, Anu!”
“Jeff was fantastic with Maggie and Jabba and went above and beyond during their stay. He was incredibly attentive to their individual needs, handled some extra care logistics for me while I was away, followed their instructions closely, and kept me updated throughout the trip. Both dogs came home happy and clearly well cared for. I felt very comfortable having them with Jeff and would absolutely trust him with them again.”
“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!”
“Buford loves going to visit! Heather is great with him, sends pictures and videos and makes sure he is well taken care of. We’d highly recommend them to watch your dog.”
“Melissa and her family did such a great job with Tucker while we were out of state for a family wedding. Tucker tends to have separation anxiety when away from his people, but he was very at home with Melissa! Thank you for providing peace of mind while we were away!”
“Shanna is one of the best sitters I’ve ever had! She was wonderful with my sensitive Frenchie while he stayed in her home over the weekend. She was communicative, asked great questions, and was incredibly accommodating of my pup’s needs - including medication and special mealtime instructions. We’re so grateful to her!”
“Gina was wonderful!! She loved Roxy as if she was her own fur baby. Roxy is a senior Yorkie (13-14 years old) who has spent very little time away from us, yet she was obviously happy while at Gina’s as she ate and wasn’t shaking when we left her or picked her up. Gina sent us pictures each day of Roxy playing, on walks and napping with Mack (her chihuahua who is sweet and adorable). Highly recommend!! 10/10 5 STARS”
“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.”
“We loved Cassandra! She kept us well informed of Ginger's stay while we were away. She told us each time Ginger was administered her seizure medication which was so helpful in making me at ease. She took her for playtime and we could tell she treated her like she was her own! Our plans changed a bit and Cassandra was bery accommodating! Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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!”
“We had a great experience with Jill! From the beginning, she was super responsive and easy to communicate with. She took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated with pictures during his stay. She even brought him to our wedding so we could get a picture with him. Jill is so sweet and we will definitely be booking her again!”
“Melissa and her mother were very welcoming and accommodating for our stay with them. Due to a change in plans on my part, she allowed me to pick up my dog earlier than arranged which was very nice. They notified me of my dog's progress and sent pictures of her stay.”
“I can't thank Holly and her family enough for the wonderful "vacation" they gave our 9 month old puppy while we ventured off on a trip of our own :) I call it a vacation because our puppy had the time of his life while in their care. He had Holly's three sweet dogs to play with ... and the entire family gave him so much love and attention. I can't put into words how grateful I am! The pictures Holly sent completely eased my worries, and she also sent messages each day to let me know that all was going well. On a scale of 1 to 10, we give Holly a 10+ ... Our experience could not have been better ...”
