“Thank you Katy, DJ and girls for caring for Doc this past weekend. Thank you for the pictures and updates through the weekend. The long walks and cuddles are fantastic.”
“I can not say enough about the outstanding care our dog received from Scott and Ashley. We received frequent updates and messages to keep us up to date. We are so very grateful that they invited our dog into their home.”
“Kylie was the best ever! I had a worry free vacation . She was very organized you can tell that she loves what she do! She sent us pictures of jazzy while we were gone she took her for walks and she also groomed her for us! She's so knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. The best experience ever! Thank You”
“5 stars!! ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 💫 ⭐️ Jessica is amazing! She graciously dealt with our uncertain and hetic schedules. She went over and above, driving to my home to pick my dog up. Even when he was initially bashful/scared, she waited and took extra time. Gave him extra love and care, car rides, treats, and nap time together. I felt he was safe, content, and at ease while in Jessica’s home. We will definitely be hiring her again!!”
“Joanne was a LIFE SAVIOR ! I had a last minute cancellation and she responded right away and was able to help take care of Atlas. She was super communicative, shared great photos, and took amazing care of Atlas incredibly impromptu! Thank you thank you thank you !”
“Jennifer was awesome!! She provided us with pictures and updates of how our dog Rocky was doing with her, which was very nice. Jennifer was very personable and easy going - a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her and will be using her to watch Rocky again in the future.”
“Heather was an excellent puppy-sitter! She really took good care of our Corgi while we were out of town. I was very thankful for her great communication and picture updates.”
“Our now 5-month-old puppy was so excited to be back at Sarah's. He immediately started playing with Rip and Mayla, and he was still playing with them when I came to pick him up three days later. It makes me happy knowing how much he loves being there. And I appreciate knowing that Sarah gives him the same love, care, and attention as she does her own two dogs. (It was also great that he was exhausted for the next day and a half after we got home haha.)”
“Ruby was just great! My Max has never been with more than 1 dog at a time and was of course very wary. And this made mommy very anxious. Ruby sent pictures and videos to let me know how Max was doing and allowed me to just enjoy my visit with old friends, knowing my little one was safe and enjoying himself. Thanks Ruby”
“They were great! Mikeale was very communicative & quick with responses, sent daily updates with pictures, and accommodated my short-notice stay. Ruby was very tired when she got home <3.”
“Dana is amazing! This was my first time using a pet sitter and she was a perfect fit. She sent plenty of pictures and videos and made me feel so comfortable. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone. My dog loved playing with her two pugs!”
“Highly highly recommend Ellen! Our pup had the best time; we could tell immediately she would love him like we do. Great backyard, lots of updates and a very tired pup from so much play when we got home. We will definitely work with Ellen again!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and taken care of dogs since I was a very young girl. Starting at the age of 9, I used to watch my neighbors dogs when they’d go out of town. Now, I often dog sit and board my coworkers dogs when needed. My deep love for dogs has driven me to always find a way to care and connect with them. I am free for the summertime to give your pets plenty of love and care all day! With enough notice, I can prepare to board your pets in whatever way you need. I have an unfenced yard and two friendly dogs to give your dog plenty of space and friends to play with. There are plenty of toys and beds that my dogs don’t use and I also have 2 open crates if your dog needs as well.
“Maria & Nayibe are hands down our favorite sitters we’ve ever had. We fully trust them with our pup, Milo, and know he’s not just safe but thriving in their care. They are so loving and attentive, whether it’s giving extra snuggles, setting up a splash pad on a hot day, or helping him burn off energy with playtime, they always go above and beyond. They’re also incredibly flexible and communicative, sending the sweetest video and photo updates. Milo has the best days with them, and we’re so grateful. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“Doreen watches our dog every vacation we’re on. She sends us updates everyday and we look forward to our daily picture she sends us. Very dependable and a great communicator. Thanks.”
“Madison and Jeff were very easy to communicate with and kept us advised of all of Roscoe’s activities with texts and pictures . Their boys were very good playmates and kept Roscoe very busy. At night the boys setup “camp” in the living room and slept with Roscoe. Awesome Family!”
“Brooke was amazing! Super loving and kind to our pups. We booked her last minute and she was able to accommodate with open arms. She sent photos of her and her boyfriend playing with them and cuddling them. I highly recommend Brooke! She’s a gem ❤️”
“Rebecca provided kind and insightful care, recognizing how to best make our 12 year old dog feel comfortable while we were away for 2 weeks. He was calm and pleasantly tired after his visit :). We appreciated knowing Charlie was at the home of a dog lover receiving personal, excellent care!”

“Cindy Is the ideal cat sitter. I wanted to not have to worry about Baby Bear having a clean litter box and eating his wet and dry food. Cindy was there for him and he’s happy! That’s what a great pet sitter does.”
“Ramsey was AMAZING!! Truly amazing!! From the moment I met Ramsey, I knew she was the one! Unfortunately, her schedule did not align with my initial needs, thus I begrudgingly selected another sitter for this trip. When that sitter refused to show up at my home without additional money (as I was already flying to my international destination), and was caught being dishonest on multiple issues, I was left with no sitter for my 7 day trip. I immediately reached out to Ramsey and she didn’t hesitate to come to my rescue!! When I explained my predicament, Ramsey jumped right in and we worked out the details, accommodating both our needs. Ramsey was very communicative, send photos and videos, and raised an issue of some congestion to watch. She fed and watered Mina, cleaned her litter box, administered transdermal medication, and played with her. She kept her engaged, introducing her to a bird channel on YouTube as well. Ramsey also cleaned up some vomit from the carpet and dealt with an unfortunate toilet situation from another fill-in caregiver. But, the pièce de résistance was that she made her way to the house during the blizzard to be sure Mina had enough food and received her medication even though I told her that her personal safety was more important. Really, I can’t say enough about Ramsey. She truly goes above and beyond!”
“Alysha did such a nice job with watching our cats. The were fed, litter boxes cleaned and got some play time with her. Leading up to it she was very prompt in answering questions. We will happily have her come again to watch our cats!! Thanks Alysha!!”
“Tori was great with our very shy indoor cat and two skittish outside cats. She was very caring and professional the entire time we were gone and let us know about a small problem that was happening in the house. We highly recommend Tori.”
About: Growing up I always had animals (dogs, hamsters, a guinea pig, a turtle, a cat, sugar gliders) and can’t imagine my life without animals. I adopted my pup right out of college, I know that sometimes it takes a village raising & caring for pets! I love dogs of all breeds, shapes & sizes ❤️ I have dog &cat sat for family members & love doing so! I’m happiest around animals. I’ve walked, played, fed, bathed, and have given medicine to dogs and am comfortable doing so. I promise to send cute pics of them too! I work very part time in the summers which gives me plenty of availability to stop by and love, play with, and/or walk your pet!! I will ensure your pet has food/water, is left where you’d want them (in a certain room, crate, etc), and any other specifics you need or want before I leave! Growing up around animals and having 2 rescues myself I understand that some animals need extra time to warm up &/or certain things (covered crate, routine, medicine, etc.) to help them feel safe and comfortable. I will work with you and try my best to ensure that your pet has whatever he/she needs to feel safe and comfortable!
About: Hey there! I’ve grown up with dogs and had lots of cats all of my life! I would be happy to help you out with your loved family members! I’m great with drop ins, as well as staying at your house for overnights. I have availability every day, except for Tuesday and Wednesdays. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance with your fur babies! ❤️ Pet care fits into my routine because I only work Tuesday Wednesdays. I don’t mind dropping in to say Hi to pets, let them out, or take them for a walk. I care for your pet as if they were my own💕 pets are part of our family!!!!! I have 2 dogs of my own which mean the world to us!
About: You’re off to enjoy your vacation, let your pet enjoy one of their own while you’re away! We are Alexis & Jess! Jess is a professional groomer with nearly 10 years experience grooming dogs of all shapes and sizes. Interested in getting your dog a spa day while they're here? She does in home grooming and does an excellent job! References available upon request. Alexis is an exhibitor and breeder of AKC American Akitas with 8 years of experience raising and showing dogs across the southeast. Both Alexis & Jess have training experience under their belts and have worked in dog rescue, shaping behavior and temperaments of dogs of many breeds and sizes. In our home, your dog will be treated as one of our own. We live on a quiet 1. 8 acre property with an acre of that securely fenced with a 6 foot privacy fence. We do have resident dogs, but they will not have access to nor come in contact with your pet staying with us! Given the breeds we own and our background in rescue and rehab, we are not strangers to powerhouse breeds, tougher temperaments or special needs dogs who need some time to adjust to new people or surroundings. Given our opposite work schedules, one of us is home almost all the time, so your dog will be in our company for most of his/her stay. Dogs are our world. We know how important they are in the lives of those who have them. Speaking from experience, we understand how nerve wracking and difficult it can be trusting someone enough to leave your dogs with them. It's something we struggled with for a long time, finding the right person to care for our own dogs in our absence.. we were fortunate enough to find a rockstar - so we hope that we can be that person for someone else!
“Great communication! Sent pics and explanations of them. As a first time boarder, I had no real idea what to expect. Actually, I had a huge variety of things to fear lol. The daily photos and little update quips ("she loves the rocker by the window"), etc) salved my fretting immensely. Then, when I was involved in a horrible motor vehicle accident during the boarding, she was amazing with her willingness to aduust times ariubd her wirk schedule and when I could arrange transportation back home. This Rover provider is a 6 out of 5 star awesome-sauce experience. Don't pass her up!”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. As a special education teacher, I spend my days building trust, creating routines, and providing individualized support—skills that translate naturally to pet care. I have experience with both dogs and cats, from energetic young pets to seniors who need a gentler approach. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while providing owners with peace of mind through dependable care and updates. 🐾💕
About: I may be new to professional cat sitting, but I’ve spent years caring for animals including my own cats, dogs, and goats as well as cattle, sheep, llamas and alpacas, horses, birds, and chickens. Cats hold a special place in my heart, and I understand how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and respected in their own space, especially when the people they normally live with aren’t home. I will make sure your cats are fed as closely to their regular routine as possible and will clean the litter box as often as you request. I’m here to make sure your cat receives the attention and enrichment they need while you're away no matter whether they’re playful, shy, or just want a warm lap to nap on. You can count on me to treat your cat (and your home) with even better care than I’d give my own.
“Katie is the exact type of person you would want caring for your family pets!! Not only is she dependable, but is so loving, caring, and kind to the dogg-os. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend her to family, friends, or anyone who just loves their pets! Katie will absolutely treat your fur babies as is they are her own :).”
“Brandi is amazing cat sitter, our cats love her. When we came back after long trip, I feel like both of my cats didn’t feel we were gone at all. Thanks to her again. Definitely ask her to check our cats again in the future.”
About: I have a beautiful Russian White kitty, & live with a Maltipoo & Goldendoodle. I fostered a Huskador for 2 years & cared for her 9 puppies. Growing up, we had 3 Schnauzers & 2 Chow-Chows. I've also had birds, reptiles, & hamsters! Rover makes it possible for me to make some fun money doing what I love; I can't wait to meet you, & look forward to looking after your fur baby🐾 My schedule is very flexible! I just moved to the area & am working on piecing together a full-time schedule for myself. Currently, the only time i'm not available is on Tuesdays, 9am-1pm. My #1 priority when it comes to caring for your animal is bonding. When i'm comfortable, the owners comfortable, & the pet is comfortable, that's when I can provide my best care. This is why I like to do meet & greets prior to me caring for your pet! Side note- I am completely comfortable with & have experience with big dogs, even play wrestling with them!

About: I love animals and would love to give you the peace of mind while you are gone. My husband and I understand the importance of finding the right Rover sitter. We both grew up with large breed dogs but I have also had toy breeds. I currently am a stay at home mom and will rarely need to be gone from home for very long. Your pet is my priority while they are in my care and I look forward to spending time with them. The way that I would care for your pets is how I would my pets. They could possibly get better treatment than mine at home… but don’t tell my dog that!
“We had a last minute booking that they were able to accommodate. Great communication before and during stay. We loved getting pics and video, too! Boone well loved and comfortable during his stay. Came home a very happy guy.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I love to walk and play with them and also have snuggle time if they like that. My schedule is flexible to accommodate their needs! I have not done injections but am willing to do if trained I’m retired so I have plenty of time to care for your pet in my home or come to your home for check-ins and walks. I have a fenced yard and am close to a local state park for long walks. I also live in a very walkable subdivision. I don’t mind a well behaved pet on furniture.
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with our little sweet pup. He had a walk, breaks, fun with his ball. Heather was extremely accommodating and flexible. Once you meet her, she outs you at immediate ease. Will happily use her again!”
“We felt so comfortable leaving our puppy with Maura, she was in great hands and was showered with so much love the entire time she was there. We are so thankful we found her!”
“Just like everyone else, Teddy and I love her! Great home away from home for your fur baby. ? We’ll be coming back over and over again. I’m pretty sure he would’ve been happy to move right in with her permanently ❤️”
“Molly takes the best care of my pup! She provides updates and gives him so much attention, he always comes home exhausted! She is excellent and I highly recommend for anyone needing boarding or daycare!”
About: I have always had a dog growing up, so I learned from a very young age how to care for a pet. Friends and family have trusted me to take care of their dogs since I was around 12 years old. This includes stopping in the house to take them to the bathroom and feeding them, as well as giving medication if needed. Lots of snuggles and playtime too of course! I have taken care of dogs in the client's home for up to a week and cared for them at my home as well. No need to worry about any complex feeding schedules. I can manage it all. I am very comfortable with any age, breed, and sized dog! I have a one-year-old pup, so I am very familiar with training and puppy classes. I have volunteered at the humane society and when I was in high school, I job shadowed at a veterinary clinic. I currently work as a substitute teacher so my schedule is extremely flexible! During the summer months I am completely open. Weekdays and weekends any time of day. I make my own schedule so there will be no conflicts. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for some off leash playtime! My dog loves to run around playing fetch with a ball or stick. I have a walking path across the street from my home and am walking distance to nature hill for some extra exercise. I always have water, waste bags and small treats with me when going on walks. (My dogs personal favorites are cheerios). I am comfortable walking with any leash, collar or harness. I have two kennels in my living room if your dog needs to be crated. At least one crate is big enough to fit a large or XL dog. I have a baby gate in front of my stairs, and the basement door is always shut. I personally love going to the pet store or drive thru to get my pet a pup cup! I would be more than happy to take your dog for an adventure and for some extra love and enrichment!
About: Agnes Mable, my dachshund of 12 years taught me patience better than anyone. I love spending time cuddling, giving belly rubs, sniffling frito feet, & running around the yard chasing them like a screaming banshee. I stay at friends & neighbors houses frequently when they're away to watch their dogs, cats, & fish. I also have friends & neighbors dogs over for weeks at a time. I've been doing this the since moving back to Wisconsin in April 2024. I love taking care of pets like their my own. Once I have a fenced in yard, I will welcome another dachshund into my life, but until then I fill my cup with caring for other's doggos & kitty cats. I'm excited to meet you! Extra treats for pugs & extra belly rubs for the heavy weights that can fetch & return! I work from home & the days I'm traveling for work will be unavailable to book. We'll spend all day together! I've got a spacious yard, large back deck that gets direct sun light for the one's that like to bake, & if they get along with other dogs, sometimes I walk over to my sisters with them to meet my favorite pug, Potato! I live in a duplex on the bottom floor so it's easy in & out, no stairs. My yard is massive with lots of plants & trees to sniff around. I'll always take my fur friends outside on a leash. I do have a small crate available for dogs under 15 pounds, toys, treats, & extra leashes just in case you forget something. Most importantly, I have a big lamby & a small lamby.
“Our Ruby spent the day with Carrie and her family recently. Ruby is 13 and not as active as she used to be, but she loves being around families and enjoys playtime with other dogs. She did very well and was well cared for. I am sure we will contact Carrie again to be Ruby’s sitter.”
About: I have cared for animals my entire life and truly believe they are part of the family. Over the years, I’ve had hands-on experience with many different types of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, horses, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, amphibians, and more. Animals are my passion, and caring for them genuinely brings me joy. Whether it’s providing companionship, playtime, feeding, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I would give my own pets. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for by someone who is experienced, attentive, and truly loves animals. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I prioritize making sure animals receive attentive and reliable care. I am currently available during the day, which allows me to be flexible and attentive to your pet’s needs. On weekdays, I do drop off and pick up my two children from school (ages 8 and 10), but outside of those short times my schedule is very open. This allows me to provide consistent care, visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship for your pets. Because I structure my day around the animals I’m caring for, you can feel confident that your pet will receive dependable attention and thoughtful care while you’re away. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets, whether they are in my home or their own familiar environment. My home sits on nearly one acre with an unfenced yard, which allows for plenty of outdoor play and exercise. Dogs can enjoy time outside on leash, and off-leash play can be discussed depending on the dog’s training and owner preferences. Inside my home, my own pets have separate spaces, which allows visiting animals to be safely and comfortably separated if needed. This helps ensure a calm and secure environment for everyone. I am also happy to care for pets in their own homes. I am very respectful of clients’ homes and always follow instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s normal routine. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive care including feeding, playtime, companionship, exercise, and administering medications if needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away.
“Ruby is friendly. We were pretty worried about daycare with Aston but this has been an awesome experience. We are looking forward to more sending him more and boarding him when we go out of town. Thanks Ruby!!”
About: I, being a full time dog mom and a home maker can take care of your dog dedicatedly. I firmly believe that our pet is our baby. I can provide utmost care and affection to your dog and cat. Since I know the importance of leash walking, I can walk your dog twice a day and can provide consistent pee breaks. Your dog will feel at home while he is with me. They are allowed on couch and bed. The treats will be offered periodically for your fur baby. I am looking for some furry friends. I recently lost my fur baby Buddy in May 2026 but his memories made us get a new fur baby Kisna who is a 4.5lbs Pomchon and very social. Kisna is great with people including children of all ages and small sized puppies and dogs. If your pup is ok with small sized pup, please consider me for your boarding and petsitting needs. I am currently in between the jobs, hence have a lot of time to cuddle the fur babies and make them feel special. Please check my calendar for availability. I only offer petsitting and petboarding through my home. Not available for petsitting at owners' home. I would prefer a meet and greet before accepting to provide care for your pet because they can sense people's energy better than humans. I have been taking care of my furbaby since 11 years. Love everything about dogs but comfortable to handle small and medium sized dogs.

“We are super thankful to Ramsey for stepping up to our request of walking our pup, pretty last minute. She was very communicative, punctual, and sent pictures & details of her walks with our Jetta. We would definitely use Ramsey again!! THANK YOU!!”
About: While I’m new to formal pet sitting, I’ve spent almost 15 years caring for a wide range of animals — from my own pets and livestock to friends' livestock. I grew up around animals and have hands-on experience with my own dogs and cats as well as various farm animals. Whether it’s feeding schedules, administering basic care, or simply giving animals the attention and enrichment they deserve, I treat every animal like one of my own. I’m dependable, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. If you're looking for someone who understands animal behavior, respects routines, and will treat your pets with care and compassion — I’d love to help. I ensure my goats get fed and have clean water daily. They get weekly enrichment. I also ensure my dog and cat have food and clean water multiple times a day and I provide frequent enrichment for them all day. Pets deserve the same hazard free, clean homes that humans do. I keep my house clean and provide clean food and water to my pets, and would do the same for yours.

About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m a special education teacher who has summers off, and I’m looking for a fun way to spend my time out in the community doing something I love—caring for animals! As a lifelong animal lover and dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or just some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I also love cats and am comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re gone. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend this summer! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I can’t wait to meet your pets! 🐶🐱💕 During July, I teach summer school, so I’m available anytime after 12 PM for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. In August, my schedule becomes much more flexible, allowing for additional daytime availability. Once the school year begins, I’ll primarily be available on weekends and for evening/late-night care. As a teacher and animal lover, I enjoy spending my free time caring for pets and making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I treat every pet as if they were my own! In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I know consistency is important for pets, so I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their family is away. In my home, pets receive a safe, clean, and loving environment. I have experience with both dogs and cats and understand that every animal has different needs and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to provide the care that makes them feel most comfortable
About: I have helped take care of animals ever since I was 5. Over the years, I have dog sat for friends and neighbors along with providing support when needed. I have never not had a pet and have always made sure to do my research to ensure I am treating any pet in the best way possible along with ensuring what is and isn’t safe for different animals. I have many friends that come to me first when they need help, especially with their animals. Many of my friends have called me a dog whisperer. I currently work full time from home as an accountant. I tend to be home most weekends and my hours make it very easy to fit any animal into my schedule. I have 2 rabbit currently at my home and my neighbors have a dog, cats, and chickens. I would always make sure that the animal is supervised as I know how important a pet is and the responsibility necessary to ensure it stays safe. I did recently have a baby as well that would be joining me most of the time. I work from home full time and recently had a baby that I take care of full time too. As long as animals are comfortable with a baby, I am always happy to help out. I provide safe, reliable, and loving care for pets in my home or my client’s home by following their normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and medication if needed. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and comfort. I also monitor their behavior closely and keep owners updated for peace of mind.
“I had to change the date last minute and Tara was extremely understanding and responded to the new date within minutes. She’s arrived early to meet Jax and stayed later to play with him. I appreciated the extra time she spent with him and he didn’t want her to leave”
About: Pets have been a part of my life since I was five years old. My life has been devoted to their health and quality of life by being a certified veterinary technician and also working in the veterinary and Humane Society field. Able to do all types of medical care for animals. I am recently retired from a full-time job and would love to do something I enjoy and I am very good at due to all my years of experience. Due to my own 4 Golden Retrievers and other barn animals, I cannot take any dogs into my home. I sure would if I could.
About: I have always loved animals. I always say my first job was when I was 4 helping in my grandmother's vet clinic. I got to help cuddle all of the dogs and assist in all the fun a vet clinic has to offer. It was love at first site. I now have three rescue dogs of my own that are spoiled and loved. I have lots of farm experience and worked at Skydance Doggy Day Care for a time. I am a stay at home mom but my little one will be at preschool Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. From 9-2. So I have some free time to help you and your fur babies out!! I can come to your house to walk your fur baby and give them all the pets they could need. I am willing to do anything else your dog/pet requires during the day :)
About: I have a beautiful Russian White kitty, & live with a Maltipoo & Goldendoodle. I fostered a Huskador for 2 years & cared for her 9 puppies. Growing up, we had 3 Schnauzers & 2 Chow-Chows. I've also had birds, reptiles, & hamsters! Rover makes it possible for me to make some fun money doing what I love; I can't wait to meet you, & look forward to looking after your fur baby🐾 My schedule is very flexible! I just moved to the area & am working on piecing together a full-time schedule for myself. Currently, the only time i'm not available is on Tuesdays, 9am-1pm. My #1 priority when it comes to caring for your animal is bonding. When i'm comfortable, the owners comfortable, & the pet is comfortable, that's when I can provide my best care. This is why I like to do meet & greets prior to me caring for your pet! Side note- I am completely comfortable with & have experience with big dogs, even play wrestling with them!
About: I am an animal lover. Always have been. I grew up on a farm and have worked on a couple as well. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, goats, cattle, pigs, sheep, even ferrets, raccoons and squirrels. Have always had multiple pets while growing up and currently have my 3 dogs and 2 cats. I've always enjoyed caring for animals. Brings me great joy and have always wanted to make it some kind of job. They bring a calming peace to me and I feel like I connect with all animals and that's why we get along so well. I am currently working full time in Madison at a doggy daycare and work at 3 different facilities. I have gained lots of experience with working with puppies all the way up to elderly dogs and all sorts of breeds. You won't be disappointed in choosing me to care for your family members. Thank you for your time checking out my profile and considering me. I work full time at a doggy daycare but am available before or after my shifts during the week and free on most weekends. I am pretty flexible. I have a fenced in backyard and 3 dogs who are great company. My dogs are crate trained and I have extra crates if your dog would need one as well.
About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician and have experience in pet sitting and the veterinary field for the past 20 years. I owned a pet sitting business for 5 years (2008 - 2012) and experience in general practice, emergency, specialty, and shelter medicine. Having a medical background allows me to pick up on medical issues and emergencies in a timely fashion, allowing for treatment if necessary. I am also able to administer medications as needed. I treat others' dogs the same way I treat my own pets and keep daily routines as close to their normal as much as possible. I work full time at a clinic and part time at the local humane society. I am available limited days during the week for walks and drop in services. Please see the calendar for up to date availability! I discuss your pets routine with you so I can keep it the same as possible during my visits. This helps keep your pet's schedule uninterrupted and allows for calmer and happier experiences!
About: I've lived with animals my entire life. Growing up, we had five dogs, four cats, bunnies and guinea pigs, snakes and lizards, fish, and chickens. Currently, while living at home in the summers, we have snakes, lizards, spiders, a cat, and three dogs, one of which is mine. My dog Winston is a service dog in training that my mom and I are owner-training. While I'm in no way a professional trainer, I can help with teaching or maintaining the basics with any dog. I'm currently home for the summer from school and waiting on an application for a part-time job. I am free most of the day right now, as I haven't started working yet. So, I can come over and take care of any pet's needs most any time. I can take care of your animals' needs any time, whether it's taking them on a walk, letting them outside, feeding, cleaning up, or playing with them. My dogs at home are crate trained, so if your dog also stays in a crate at certain points of the day or night, I can easily crate them.

“Thank you Katy, DJ and girls for caring for Doc this past weekend. Thank you for the pictures and updates through the weekend. The long walks and cuddles are fantastic.”
“I can not say enough about the outstanding care our dog received from Scott and Ashley. We received frequent updates and messages to keep us up to date. We are so very grateful that they invited our dog into their home.”
“Kylie was the best ever! I had a worry free vacation . She was very organized you can tell that she loves what she do! She sent us pictures of jazzy while we were gone she took her for walks and she also groomed her for us! She's so knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. The best experience ever! Thank You”
“Joanne was a LIFE SAVIOR ! I had a last minute cancellation and she responded right away and was able to help take care of Atlas. She was super communicative, shared great photos, and took amazing care of Atlas incredibly impromptu! Thank you thank you thank you !”
“Jennifer was awesome!! She provided us with pictures and updates of how our dog Rocky was doing with her, which was very nice. Jennifer was very personable and easy going - a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her and will be using her to watch Rocky again in the future.”
“Our now 5-month-old puppy was so excited to be back at Sarah's. He immediately started playing with Rip and Mayla, and he was still playing with them when I came to pick him up three days later. It makes me happy knowing how much he loves being there. And I appreciate knowing that Sarah gives him the same love, care, and attention as she does her own two dogs. (It was also great that he was exhausted for the next day and a half after we got home haha.)”
“Ruby was just great! My Max has never been with more than 1 dog at a time and was of course very wary. And this made mommy very anxious. Ruby sent pictures and videos to let me know how Max was doing and allowed me to just enjoy my visit with old friends, knowing my little one was safe and enjoying himself. Thanks Ruby”
“They were great! Mikeale was very communicative & quick with responses, sent daily updates with pictures, and accommodated my short-notice stay. Ruby was very tired when she got home <3.”
“Dana is amazing! This was my first time using a pet sitter and she was a perfect fit. She sent plenty of pictures and videos and made me feel so comfortable. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone. My dog loved playing with her two pugs!”
“Highly highly recommend Ellen! Our pup had the best time; we could tell immediately she would love him like we do. Great backyard, lots of updates and a very tired pup from so much play when we got home. We will definitely work with Ellen again!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and taken care of dogs since I was a very young girl. Starting at the age of 9, I used to watch my neighbors dogs when they’d go out of town. Now, I often dog sit and board my coworkers dogs when needed. My deep love for dogs has driven me to always find a way to care and connect with them. I am free for the summertime to give your pets plenty of love and care all day! With enough notice, I can prepare to board your pets in whatever way you need. I have an unfenced yard and two friendly dogs to give your dog plenty of space and friends to play with. There are plenty of toys and beds that my dogs don’t use and I also have 2 open crates if your dog needs as well.
“Madison and Jeff were very easy to communicate with and kept us advised of all of Roscoe’s activities with texts and pictures . Their boys were very good playmates and kept Roscoe very busy. At night the boys setup “camp” in the living room and slept with Roscoe. Awesome Family!”
“Brooke was amazing! Super loving and kind to our pups. We booked her last minute and she was able to accommodate with open arms. She sent photos of her and her boyfriend playing with them and cuddling them. I highly recommend Brooke! She’s a gem ❤️”
“Rebecca provided kind and insightful care, recognizing how to best make our 12 year old dog feel comfortable while we were away for 2 weeks. He was calm and pleasantly tired after his visit :). We appreciated knowing Charlie was at the home of a dog lover receiving personal, excellent care!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we didn't know quite what to expect. We set up a meet and greet to make sure it would be a good fit. As soon as my dog got out of the car, I could tell she was going to like it there. Alex was very communicative during the whole stay and sent daily pictures of how my dog was doing. This made us very happy to know she was in good hands while we were gone. We will definitely work with Alex again!”
“Remi did very well staying with Marie and her family. She was wonderful with him! She took him for walks and he also got lots of play time. She updated us often while we were gone as to how he was doing and also sent lots of pics. We will definitely use her as a sitter again!”
“We have dealt with Alexis mainly. She is great! She is very accommodating, which I appreciate. She took great care of our 2 old boys and I wasn't worried about leaving them with her at all. Both dogs take several meds twice a day and she was fine with giving them those. Our 16 year old has accidents sometimes and she was totally understanding of that. In addition, she is just a genuinely nice person. When one of our dogs got sick and we had to cancel a scheduled stay, she asked about him several times. I highly recommend Alexis and Jessica!”
“Lauren is so amazing! Winter has very bad separation anxiety and we are always nervous everytime we leave him. It’s our first time to leave winter with Lauren but she did a very good job! She is very professional, updates us about Winter and most of all she is very passionate about taking care of dogs especiallys with dogs with separation anxiety and that made Winter feel very comfortable and enjoyed his stay with her. Winter had a lot of walks with her and he even made his way into the couch to sit with her. Plus he ate his food and treats and allowed Lauren to wipe his paws after walks. This is very unusual with Winter because he doesnt trust easily especially with someone whom he just met. But this made us think he was so comfortable with Lauren and he was happy with her. We are also happy knowing that Winter was well taken care of and we had a stress free short out of town trip. Thank you Lauren and Noah. We are so grateful for your help ❤️🙏🏻 highly recommended!”
“Brittany and her family were amazing. Our puppy felt right at home and I think having kids around made the stay much more enjoyable and more like home for her. Brittany sent lots of pictures that my kids loved! We will definitely use her again when needed! Thank you so much!”
