Personalized care for your dog or cat - Hale
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Hale
“This was our 1st experience with Rover for our senior goldendoodle. Allyson was great, very welcoming, able to take our pup last minute & kept us updated throughout her brief stay including photos. Much appreciated!”
“Wonderful experience, Lacy was happy to be there, daily pictures were great, it’s nice knowing that we can leave and Lacy is well taken care of, will definitely use Elizabeth again”
“Madi and Anthony took great care of our dog during her boarding/overnight visit. They took great care to get to know us and her prior to her stay and provided us with ample info about their home environment so we could set our Lucy up for a successful visit. They provided regular updates with pictures and videos and we could tell she was comfortable and enjoying her time under their care. Our dog prefers a home environment over a boarding facility and Madi and Anthony’s home was the perfect place for her to relax while we were away.”
“Jacob was wonderful. He understood my concern for our dog Bella and kept me informed. He was also flexible with our pickup time which was much appreciated. Thank you Jacob!!”
“Jennifer was accomodating with my chaotic schedule and super kind, to boot. My dogs are home and worn out from playing with hers, but they are happy and they were safe. I’d reccommend her as a dog sitter any day.”
“Destiny was so great! Fenway is still sleeping after all the play that he got. They went above and beyond with baths, pictures, and play time! Will for sure be contacting again for future care!”
“Chris and Shawnda are true dog lovers. They understand dog behavior and we felt 100% confident leaving our dog in their care. Strider was happily exhausted from 3 days of play!”
“Our dog Zero had such a good time at Amanda's, we actually felt guilty picking him up! Amanda shared regular updates and photos, and, while she maintained Zero's normal routine of walks, meals, and sleep, the extra play and snuggle time the family gave Zero clearly made him one content, tuckered out pup. We would definitely bring Zero to Amanda's for boarding again in the future.”
“Kim was very kind to accommodate a short notice visit. She even fit in a meet and greet right away which I really appreciated. She was super responsive and sent lots of updates. Drop off and pick up times were flexible and she was right on time. Our dog came home happy, I couldn't ask for a better experience.”
“This was a last-minute booking and my first time leaving my cat, so I was super nervous. Katie was really reassuring and said she’s worked with nervous cats before, which made me feel a lot better. Plus, she has the sweetest and friendliest cat, which was a big bonus for me!”
“Tyler and Caitlin are gold star sitters! They have watched our dog many times and I always trust them to take great care. They are communicative and treat our dog like she’s a member of their family while she’s there.”
“Very thankful for her wonderful service Caroline seemed to be right at home with her and I got plenty of updates while I was gone will definitely book again if I'm in the area”
About: Im retired and do some driving . I have a cat that is pretty special to me. I had my dog for 17 years.. He was a good companion. I have a fenced in back yard in case you need to watch your dog during the day. And I'm also available for drop ins for your cat
“They did amazing with my anxious dog! They were good at giving her meds throughout the 4 days and sticking to feeding schedule. During the weekend I received multiple updates and pictures of her which I also loved! Definitely will rebook with them:)”
“Alia was great! She is responsive, usually responds within the day of messaging her. Sent pictures and kept us updated, let us know of any concerns, and overall great! Our dog is very high energy and we can tell she knows how to handle that kind of dog because when we picked our dog up she was very happy and tired.”
About: Your pet will have a peaceful stay with lots of love and attention. I will make sure they feel right at home and get all the belly rubs! I work full time from home so if your pet is boarding with me they’ll never be alone, and if I am coming to your home I have some flexibility in my schedule. I love caring for animals! I have lots of nature around my place to take your pet on walks. I have worked as a vet assistant and cared for many dogs, cats, and rabbits in the past.

About: As an experienced pet sitter, I am dedicated to providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. From feeding, walking, and playtime to administering medications and maintaining routines, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are receiving attentive, responsible, and personalized care in a stress-free environment I work Monday- Thursday so that allows me to have plenty of time at home with animals on the weekends to give them the time and attention they need. I have a very nice neighborhood with walking paths to make sure animals are getting the exercise and time they need to play around outside.
“Margaret is the absolute best house sitter/pet sitter we could've ever hoped for. She is so sweet and takes care of everything while we have to be away from home. She's a great communicator and super good with our cats and dog.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hale
“Chris did great with the dogs! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!! He played fetch with our lab until she got tired (who can play fetch FOREVER... seriously forever). He’s very considerate, informative, and a true dog lover! I can tell he does is absolute best to give the pups the excersize and love they need and deserve!”
“Amanda and her family are AMAZING! they made my dog feel right at home and sent pictures the whole day. She is so flexible and made sure I felt comfortable the whole time my dog was there. Will definitely be calling amanda when we are in the area in the future!”
About: At one time, we were breeders of Champion Golden Retrievers, and have raised many a pup, from small to large breeds. From Bernese to Yorkies, we love them all! Our furbabies are a Shorkie and Shih Tzu who are well behaved and make great hosts and playmates! Large pastures and trails on which to walk, so lots of exercise. Our canine guests will receive lots of love and attention! They will be welcome in our house if well-behaved, and treated like one of the family during their stay. We have excellent references from previous guests and do our best to make sure our every guest feels right at home. We follow all care guides given by our guests owners, including giving meds and treats as owner provides us. I or my husband are home with our guest dogs during stays. Our guests get lots of attention and care. We want to care for them as they are used to being cared for at home. We have a fenced yard. We back up to mikes of hiking trails for walks and runs always on leash. We walk 3-4 times a day or as often as match the home life of our guests. They are cared for in our home and integrated into being cared for as part of our family with 2 little welcoming fur babies.
“Holly seemed to have lots of fun with the other dogs/kitten. She loves to be outside so I'm so glad Maddy takes her on field trips in the country. It was her first day so it took alot to get used to things. Maddy handled well and I had no worries since Maddy checked in during the day.”

“Jacob looked after my 1 year old husky for the day and there were no issues! He took him for a walk as well which was appreciated. Definitely will trust Jacob for sitting or boarding again.”
About: Hey there! I am an animal lover to the core. Let me be your pet's new best friend while you are away! I recently moved back to the Midwest to be closer to family, about two years ago. I was traveling constantly for work, but am now full time work from home. When I lived in another state for work, I did pet care as a part time job with private clients weekly. I grew to absolutely love it and would love to get established back in Wisconsin. I grew up with dogs, cats, and cows my entire life - being raised on a farm. I am the type of person who can’t stop without petting a dog whenever I see one! Providing companionship to your pet is my favorite thing to do. We can go on walks, eat food, and watch the latest Hulu show together! Your fur baby is welcome to sleep with me, on the floor, or in any bed or crate you bring. My two rescue cats absolutely LOVE other animals, so there is no worry there. They are so curious and eventually become besties! Since I am work from home full time now, so I am extremely flexible and they will have constant attention. I do live in an apartment, BUT, I am right next to the walking trail in River Prairie (the loop). I would be more than happy to go on as many walks as needed, and enjoy some sunshine with your fur baby! So do not worry, they can be outside as much or little as you’d like. I am open to care of all animals, all sizes, and all ages. If wanted, I visit my family farm quite often where we have extensive yard and land to run on. It is 100% an option for me to take your pet there if you want them to have some extra smells, especially if they stay long term with me. I’m extremely flexible and want you to not have to worry! While I traveled full time for work in the past, constant updates on my animals back home was crucial to me. I will provide as much or little communication you’d like. I’m here to meet you and your pet where you’d like and keep being away from them stress free. I promise they are in such caring hands! I work from home most days and go on daily walks myself! I would love to have a companion along with me to help make my place less lonely! During the weekends I can give even extra attention! I have access to the loop walk near River Prairie where i can take your pet for a potty break or for a walk! Depending how far they like to go - I can do the full three miles with them, or cut it shorter! I will be here with them to provide food, water, and care. Your pet will be my number 1 priority while I am with them!
About: I grew up with many family pets and helped care for them. I have worked professionally at day care and boarding/training facilities. In 2011 I acquired a Veterinary Assisting Diploma from Horizon School of Veterinary Assisting. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, most days I am available. We can talk and figure out what would work best for you and your companion animal. I will respect your animals current routine already in place and follow through with daily care needs as if you would for them in your home.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Hale
About: Hi there! I’m Destiny & have owned an array of furry friends over the years. I have never NOT had a pup and have owned many different breeds. Currently I own cattle dogs- an Aussie named Marley and Heeler/Collie mix named Sadie. They are 4, I trained them myself & they are extremely well behaved and socialized. I offer boarding, day care, dog walking, and can bathe your pup before returning them home to you. I can also pick up and drop off when needed. I can also house sit and pup sit if that is your need/comfortability as well. I am up for & encourage meet & greets before bookings if you would like to meet myself, the pups and/or see the house and our setup before hand! I work during the normal school year as a nursing instructor. I am off during the summer and am home FULL TIME to dedicate ALL of my time & attention to the fur babies! I promise your baby will be tuckered out, loved on and well fed (to your instructions of course!) Boarding at my home: safety is my top priority with animal to animal interaction and human to animal interaction. If pups need more alone time/privacy, they can be housed separately from my dogs at all times as we have multiple access points from our home to our fenced in yard and gate sectioning in our house. I do walks daily with them and am outside with them as well for the majority of the day. Our fenced in yard has a dog pool and I have BUCKETS of toys for them to play with! If your pup leans toward the spicier side & is more protective when it comes to their toys, food, or water please let me know and separation accommodations can be made, no problem. All breeds are different and each pup is different. I can also give medications topically, orally, injections etc. I can provide hourly updates through text, video call, phone calls, whatever you would like! At minimum I send a daily update. In your home: as a nurse, safety is always my top priority. I am also extremely clean and organized. I can maintain your daily routine with your pup so they don’t miss much while you are away. Again, meet and greets I encourage so you and especially your pup are comfortable meeting me and being in your home. I’ll be their make-shift auntie while you are away! Whatever update/care you want them to have, you got it- even FaceTime dates so you don’t have to miss them much.

“Linsie is extremely professional and detail-oriented. Her text responses are also super quick and she was able to agree to walk my dog with short notice. I had no problem trusting her with my fur babes. Thank you! It was a wonderful experience.”

“Rebecca took excellent care of Aurora and sent daily updates of the fun and love Aurora was getting. Anyone who uses her services will be highly satisfied. I would definitely rebook in the futures”
About: I love dogs and have two of my own - a little man named Sid and big golden named Ruby. Everyone in my family has a dog as well so I am very used to being around pets. I am an active person and would love to walk, run with, or care for your dog! I work 2 days a week and I am flexible on weekends, so just let me know what you're thinking! We have two kids at home, 3 and under, so must be okay with sweet kiddos. I live in home with a big fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs. I have a small dog and large dog who get along very well with other dogs. They get super playful around other dogs, so your dog would surely have a fun time and get all his/her energy out! I am working part-time and home with my babies the other days, allowing a lot of flexibility with caring for your pet. We have some occasional things planned for weekends but are otherwise pretty open! I have a fenced in, nice yard for dogs to play and run in. We live in a great walking neighborhood. We have two dogs to keep your fur baby company as well as two young children. Animals must be kid-friendly for our home!
