“Monique was wonderful!! She kept up great communication and photos. My dog has separation anxiety and it’s clear he was comfortable in her home. Will definitely have him stay with Monique the next time we are in the area. Thanks, Monique!!!”
“Halligan was so awesome and took care of our puppy this week. I got multiple updates, photos AND videos. It was so reassuring to know that Luna was with someone very caring and dependable. It made going on a work trip that much easier. Thank you, Halligan, so much! <3”
“Rebecca and Matthew and their boys took wonderful care of Hazel during her week-long stay. They were very detailed in caring for her and sent plenty of pictures and updates.”
“Shannon is great. She sends regular updates with pics and videos. She has a great backyard and built in dog friend for our Clyde to play with. We always feel confident our dog is in good hands and having a good vacation too when we book with Shannon.”
“Diane and Dale went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule and care for Oliver. He fit right in with their dog, Lexi, enjoyed the walks around the pond and was well-loved. I highly recommend them!”
“Ann and Arman cared for our 6 month old puppy for two weeks and it was a great experience. Our puppy, May, was well loved, exercised, and included as part of their family from the first day. We got several updates each day with pictures from walks, school bus drop offs, bedtime routines, and playtime. We felt very comfortable that May was getting the best care possible and that made our vacation even more enjoyable. We will be using them again for sure to care for our pup. Thanks Ann & Arman!!”
“Josh and Cheryl were absolutely incredible with our dog, Tuck. He’s a high-energy, challenging pup who needs a lot of stimulation, and they went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for, engaged, and happy. They were attentive, active, and cared for him like their own. When his collar broke, they even bought him a new one without hesitation—such a thoughtful gesture that speaks to how much they truly care. We also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t recommend them more highly—if we could give more than 5 stars, we would!”
About: I grew up in a large and loving family with very high-energy dogs. Last May, my husband, two kiddos and myself said goodbye to the best dog in the entire world- we miss Dexter everyday. He wasn't just a dog to us, he was family. We currently have a cat named Beans who we adopted when she was a tiny kitty. She gets a lot of attention from our 4-year-old daughter who wants to be a Veterinarian one day. Over the years, we trained Dexter (a golden retriever), and had to learn a lot about cats since neither of us grew up with a cat. Beans is very, very particular. When I was younger I helped train the family dog(s) and spent countless hours playing, walking, bathing, petting and cuddling these dogs. It has been almost one year since Dexter passed away and I miss having a dog to pet and chit-chat with everyday. I would love to spend time with your pet. Currently, I do not work. I drop one kid off at 8:30am and the other at 12:45pm, and pick up both kids at 3:30pm. We do a lot of walking and biking around town. I have a lot of free time. Our schedule will change a little bit in the summer with the kids swim lessons and a couple camping trips. Our apartment complex has a fenced-in dog run, we are near the bike path, I am happy to clean-up after your pet when necessary. I respect all pet owner's rules to ensure pet safety when walking on the leash, dietary guidelines, etc. I am able to crate animals at your house, as well as ours, if necessary.
“Yolanda and her family did a wonderful job with Gizmo. It was our first time leaving him for a week and with someone through Rover. Yolanda's patience, kindness, and experience brought me relief knowing that my dog was in great hands. She did everything possible to calm my anxiety-ridden fur baby and made him comfortable; kept me updated and was responsive; sent me photos; and was very easy/flexible to work with. By the end of the week, Gizmo was playing with other dogs and taking long walks twice a day, which he never does! He's been home for almost 24 hours and I can tell he misses Yolanda, but mostly, he's been sleeping like a baby. LOL. I couldn't thank Yolanda and her family enough. I finally found someone who was willing to take in my dog and refused to give up on him even when times were hard. I highly recommend her services! I've found my FOREVER dog sitter :) Thank you again Yolanda!!”
“Mary was once again so wonderful to work with. She was so flexible with our travel schedule! The dogs did great! I'm sad that we have moved and won't be close to Mary anymore, but I would highly recommend her services. Especially for smaller senior dogs!”
“First time Rover experience and was all I coupldve hoped for. Kerry (and her husband!) were very kind, responsive, and put me at ease. Her dog made for some company for my pup too. Thanks again!!”
“Would definitely recommend Amanda as a sitter! Easy communication, easy to book, I appreciated the couple check ins during my dog’s stay! My dog came back looking well taken care of, happy, and tired from her exercise! Will definitely be using Amanda again!”
“Rhonda was great with our dog. We explained all of his "quirks" and she was very understanding. She sent us text updates and pictures. It was a great relief to know that he was well taken care of. We'll definitely book future dates with Rhonda again!”
“Judy was amazing with Xena! I was very nervous to have her board for the first time but Judy eased my anxiety, kept me updated, and Xena had a wonderful time!”
“We were very happy with our dog’s stay at Doreen’s. She sent pictures throughout the week with nice messages on how he was doing, and she followed his schedule closely to ensure he kept to his routine. Doreen is a very loving, knowledgeable dog person who we felt very comfortable with. Our dog seemed well taken care of when we brought him home. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Pat was a great sitter and recognized that our dog Rowdy was in distress and took the initiative to get him to our vet. He ended up having emergency surgery for a twisted stomach, and if it wasn't for Pat's quick response it would have been a different outcome. We are thankful that Pat was caring for Rowdy.”
“Gianina was a great host to Kona! She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend! She had a great yard for him to explore, and she took him on nice walks. We will definitely book with her again if we travel!”

“Katie is super great to work with. She shows up on time, leaves a detailed summary of her visit, and makes the experience overall easy by using common sense. I’ve used her twice and plan to continue to have her take great care of my cats!”
“We will use Gina over and over again! She is thoughtful, responsive, courteous, and (most importantly) wonderful with our dogs. We are so lucky to have someone like Gina who cares for our fur babies the way we do.”
“Wonderfully responsive and kind. Our cats were happy and healthy when we returned from our trip, clearly very well cared for. We really appreciated the brief personalized updates at every check-in so we could be sure that everybody was doing okay. Thank you so much!”
“Cindy is an awesome sitter who tolerated bad kitty behavior and found ways to deter it! Kitties were fed, boxes were cleaned, and those who wanted love were given attention. ❤️ Even our terrified little torbie came out of hiding to check her out! Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up on a farm with many barn cats and house cats. I’ve dealt with all ages from kittens to seniors and have no problem with any! I always prefer cuddly cats, but shy and fiesty cats deserve all the love too!
About: I've had pets my entire life. From dogs to cats to guinea pigs and chickens. They are all unique and special in their own way. I am available weekdays Monday through Thursday. I also have limited weekend availability during the winter months. I can work with your schedule based on your needs I am able to work with what you'd like for your pets. Whether they are food motivated or play motivated, I can work with you
About: My first few memories have been with caring for animals. I grew up in a family that rescued dogs and my mom became a dog groomer when I turned age 7. From there I developed my love and passion caring for pets. I began dog sitting around the age of 14 for my family pets. I have experience from ages 8-weeks to senior, ailments and illnesses, couch potatoes to the problem child; I care for them all 😊 I’ve been pet sitting for other families since 2016. I treat all the fur babies I care for as family. I had also worked for a small business pet store from 2015-2023. Through those years, I had daily interactions with many different types of dogs. I did return to working at that same store January of 2025 as the receptionist/assistant in the grooming salon. I am gone working Tuesday-Friday from 8am until 3:30pm. My knowledge in nutrition, behavior, and overall care is extensive. I can’t wait to connect further to see if I’m the right fit for your fur babies! Disclaimer- I do not have pets of my own (for bookings requiring no other friends during their stay). My Odin passed away November of 2025 and I don’t have the heart to take down his profile. I work Tuesday-Friday and am gone the hours of 8am-3:30pm. My husband works 3rd shift, so he is home (asleep) in case of an emergency while I am gone. My priority is your pets’ safety and comfortably. I’m always willing to see if I can make arrangements to help accommodate to your pets’ needs.
About: i’ve had dogs for as long as i can remember! i often dog sit for my parents and friends when they are out of town or have a long work day. i love meeting new dogs and seeing each different personality! i work part time at a dental office, so i have half days on mondays and thursdays, long days tuesdays and wednesdays, and i never work friday-saturday so i have a great schedule and lots of time on my hands to help with pets! safety and trust are two huge things for me, especially when it comes to our pets and homes. it’s very important to me that everyone involved in caretaking feels comfortable!
“Emma dropped in on our two cats (one of which needed medication every 12 hrs) during our trip and was very communicative during the visits. She sent pictures every day and even cleaned everything up on the last visit. We will definitely use her again for our next trip.”
About: I have been a cat owner since the mid 1990's. We currently have four cats in our family. Louise, our most recent addition, was found abandoned on the side of the road. She needed to be bottle fed for several weeks and also had some health issues related to malnutrition and parasites. She is now a happy and healthy kitty! I am comfortable administering medication, am an expert litter box scooper and am not fazed by hairballs or other unexpected messes. Nothing makes me smile more than hearing a loud purr or sweet snuggle. As a mom of 6, I am used to chaos and can handle problems with compassion and patience.
About: I've always loved to be around animals, whether that was taking care of them, playing with them or even just being in their company. I am an athlete so I love to take dogs on a walk or run or just being outdoors in general. I have taken care of mostly family, and family friends dogs for long periods at a time. I will have plenty of time to take care of your dog, I will usually have time in the mornings or early afternoon, due to another job I have in the afternoons. I will make sure they have a blast and that even though I am an outsider coming in, that by the time I leave I won't be anymore.
About: I love walking and with a dog it's even better! I enjoy being outside and spending time with dogs. I will treat your dog as if it were my own, give him/her special attention, and a walk/home while you are away. Dogs have a special place in my heart and I enjoy spending time with other people's dogs, taking them for walks, and giving your dog love and attention. I have had experience walking dogs and taking care of dogs throughout my life. I have 2 rescue dogs are both beagles. I am an avid outdoor enthusiast and love taking them for hikes in the woods, on trails in state parks, and around the neighborhood. I am available for all the services Rover offers. I can board/watch your dogs at my home. I would love to meet you and your dog! I am a teacher and love coming home to my 2 dogs. We spend a lot of time outside and go for two walks a day. I have a fenced in backyard that is about a 1/2 of an acre. Our fence is 6 feet high. I have two dogs myself, so we have lots of treats and toys as well as extra dog beds. I am also a foster for the Humane Society, Midwest BREW, and Fluffy Dog Wellness & Rescue. I have fostered over 20 dogs in my home of all different breeds and ages. I find it really rewarding!
“This was our first time to use Rover and we were very happy with our experience. Renee was wonderful. We used her for drop-in visits for our cats. When came home to find that our cats had topped off food bowls, lots of water, clean litter boxes and no messes. We will definitely book Renee the next time we travel!”
About: Reliable and loving pet care from a seasoned sitter! I grew up with dogs always around the house. As a dog mom, I understand the worry that comes with being away from your fur baby. I'll give your furry friends the attention and comfort they deserve while you're away. Want me to add anything else? I’m a pre-k teacher, so I work Monday-Friday morning-afternoon. I am available weekends and most days. My dog has a more consistent routine than I do. My dog is a derpy, little old lady who would not notice other pets. I will give your pets the love and attention they deserve.

“Best Rover ever. My corgis were so happy with the two days they were there and they usually never get that excited with anyone else. Recommending everyone in Milwaukee area to go see her for doggy needs”
“I was anxious to find a new daycare for my pup Dexter when I moved to the area. I’m so thankful that we found Mrs Monique, who welcomed Dexter into her home and eased all of my worries. I received updates which reassured me that Dexter was being well taken care of while I was away at work. By the second day, Dexter was so excited to be back at Mrs Monique’s house he walked right inside without a second glance. Could not recommend Monique’s doggy daycare enough.”
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for pets, including dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, or simply giving a dog some extra affection, I treat every pup like my own. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, basic training, and caring for senior dogs or puppies I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks throughout the week. I love being outdoors and can easily adjust my schedule to meet your dog’s needs I provide a safe and loving environment for every dog. Walks are always on a leash, and I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort. At home, I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I can also follow any specific instructions you give to keep your dog’s routine consistent.
“Meagan is a 10/10, would definitely recommend!! Meagan is an amazing dog sitter and gives us the peace of mind we needed. Our puppy, Finnegan, runs to her at drop off and has a fun-filled day with lots of indoor and outdoor activity with built in rest time as well. Meagan is extremely mindful and takes the best care of our puppy.”
“My dog loves going to Liz’s house! She is super attentive and communication is great. She’s sure to send photos of the dogs playing and provides assurance that our pet is safe with her and her husband. Highly recommend!”
About: Ever since I was little I've always loved dogs! Growing up there were always dogs around and it was so much fun. Fast forward-I am a stay at home mom but was previously a nanny and some of the families had 1 or 2 dogs that I loved playing with, taking on walks, and snuggling. I would stay for 1-2 weeks throughout the year at their house watching their dogs while they were on vacation. From playing fetch, back scratches to belly rubs, breakfast and dinner, and all of the in betweens you'll know your dog(s) is/are in great hands! It's always so much fun walking in the door and having a dog greet you being so happy that you are there! I've done many overnight dogsitting nights as well as popping in once/twice during the day to let them go potty. I do have small children at home so family/child friendly dogs only please :) I stay home with my kids so the day is flexible for potty breaks, drop ins, walks, etc. There are some days where we may be gone for a few hours on an outing. I provide care in my home. Lots of snuggles, play time, and walks (weather dependent). I take care of your pet(s) as if they were my own.
“She was AMAZING! Very flexible when we needed to last minute change from daycare to over night stay. Was great at communication and sending us lots of updates and pictures too! Would definitely book again!!”
“Rita and Dan are amazing and truly love dogs. They are kind, caring, attentive, and the dogs have a great time together. As a bonus for us, they are fun to talk to and great with communication and updates. They helped us out with our two dogs with short term notice and were understanding when we were unexpectedly delayed because of weather. Highly recommend!”
About: Growing up, my mom was the Eau Claire County Humane Officer, FEMA Animal Emergency Management volunteer coordinator, and general manager of the Chippewa County Humane Association. Throughout my childhood I helped care for thousands of dogs, cat, rabbits, and even a handful of lizards and snakes. I am well versed in animal behavior, safety, and empathy! I am new to the world of personalized in home care, but hope to gain your trust and grow my experience. I am a homeschooling mom of one 6 year old (who LOVES dogs!) and our schedule is very flexible. We have a 3 year old animal friendly Australian Shepherd who we walk daily within our neighborhood, on the interurban trail (5 minute walk away) and run off lease on the beach when there's no one around! My 6 year old is very animal empathetic, and is always learning behavior and cues from our own Aussie. Having a high energy household, I understand the importance of plenty of time spent outside. We live in a large, upper, 2 bedroom apartment and can easily accommodate temporary space for one or two more pets (of the same family). We have a park with an open field for playing ball, and the interurban trail are both a short walk away. We have plenty of green space around our building for shorter potty breaks. I have a large Ruffland crate available for your pets use.
“Frankie was so nice. We met before the scheduled date. She gave a detailed and great description before the drop off time and made sure everything was fine. Riley came back happy.”

“Ryan was very accommodating and thoughtful as we dropped our dog off for an afternoon. He listened and was engaging as we discussed our pup’s routine. We would go back to Ryan next time we are in the area.”
“Yolanda and her family have been so great to work with so far! Yolanda is very responsive, flexible, & respectful of your pet’s needs/requests/concerns. I will be utilizing her services again 🙂”
“Mary was fantastic. I have never had to leave my dog with a sitter before so he is very attached to me. Mary was kind and made him feel at home and sent me lots of pictures so I knew he was happy.”
About: ☀️$35/night for bookings during August 1st-September 30th! Discount applied at booking. Does not include Rover's booking fees. Holidays discounted to $43/night. When your pup comes here, you can expect heart, home, and a whole lot of wholesome fun! 🐾💛 Our business model is built on trust, transparency, professionalism, and safety. We are also fully insured by a third party. ✔️ We have owned a dog all our lives! We currently have one dog, Sadie, who is the most affectionate hostess you could meet. 🥰 Between Bryan and Emily, hours are logged volunteering at the humane society, dog-sitting for large and small dogs alike, and experiencing all personalities. With over 15 years of personal experience pre-Rover and over 5 years on Rover, we treat dogs personally, as the individuals they are! Developing a personal understanding is our priority so that the dog feels comfortable and well-loved, even if mom or dad aren't there. The activities naturally follow! Our family favorites are long walks, visits to the dog park, and zoomies around the house. Our family can't wait to add your dog to our fluffy circle of friends! We have one toddler. We have enough space to keep her separate from the dogs we take on and take every precaution to promote complete safety. Regardless, we do require all dogs to be tolerant of children as a baseline precaution! (*PLEASE NOTE* Dogs MUST be friendly with other dogs and children. A meet and greet is required prior to any new bookings. Due to the fact we want to accommodate daycare and boarding clients, we require as a prerequisite that your dog be good with other dogs as there may be times they overlap. We take every precaution to keep any overlapping dogs separate unless/until we are 100% confident they will be safe and friendly buddies! We will also *always* ask first about your comfort level with overlapping bookings! For new clients, overlapping is avoided if at all possible. Sometimes, it just happens, be it a few hours of daycare or a pickup/drop off. Thank you for understanding.) Emily is a stay at home mom. Bryan works a mile away and comes home for lunch! We try to make it a daily routine to fit a walk into the morning or the evening. Our schedules are extremely conducive to pet care! *EXPANSION COMING SUMMER 2026* A personal home environment with large kennel standards. ✨ Fully insured with policies built on trust. We live in the spacious upper unit of the duplex we own. Our home is dog-proofed - everything edible is either well out of reach or, in the case of our trash can, has a child lock. Our yard is not fenced in (soon to change, stay tuned!) so we ensure our dogs are securely leashed before exiting. Currently, we max out at two dogs taken in at a time, only with explicit owner permission to overlap dogs from different households. When we expand in August '26, we will raise that to 4 with the ability to keep small dogs (30lbs and under) completely separate from large dogs, and keep all dogs separate from each other. We regularly clean and sanitize dog spaces and dishes! Emily and Bryan are experienced in dog behavior. We monitor all play very closely and keep dogs in separate rooms at meal times. Dogs are encouraged to join us on the couches and overall treated like family – minus the access to human food, of course, much to their chagrin. ;)
“Cyen is great! My very shy pup warmed up to her in no time. The fenced in yard is nice for potty breaks and playing chase. Communication was great, Cyen even sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
“Perseus and Dereck were great hosts to Spider. They took him in last minute. They provided photos during his short stay. I will definitely have them watch our dogs again. They deserve 10 stars!!”
About: I've had dogs most of my life. My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is 3 years old and loves a friend. I have an 11 year old daughter that will also provide lots of love. Your dog won't just be boarded, they'll become a part of the family. No kennels necessary, they can sleep with me! I'm a stay at home mom. I love taking my dog out for walks around my quiet, dog friendly neighborhood. I'm home almost all the time. I'd love another doggy friend to visit us! I have tie outs for the dogs when they'd like fresh air. We go on walks as needed....and we can walk more if your dog loves it like mine does!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from puppy stage to senior dogs since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on my ability to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’ve pet sat and walked different pets such as bunnies, cats, and dogs, all of which I grew to love personally and always made sure to put their best interest to heart. I’m currently working part time this summer and mostly just trying to save up to pay my college tuition this school year. I’m available most weekends and nights. I do not a fenced home however I have a nice park in my neighborhood that your dog can run around and explore if permitted by the client. As for my clients home, I will always be sure to give your pet all my attention, love and care.
About: I recently lost my senior cat, Tigger. He passed away in August 2025. Tigger was very sick. I spent multiple hours per day providing care. Tigger had a chronic digestive illness that required care from someone who had critical attention to detail. I administered his medications every 12 hours, cleaned him up after he used the litter-box, provided him emotional support, syringe fed him wet food during his final days, and more. I currently work in the healthcare field as a clinical pharmacist (for humans). I truly understand how important it is not only for humans to have their medications on time, but for animals to have their care on time as well. I dedicated an entire 10 months of my life to help Tigger live those 10 extra months. My timeliness, organizational skills, and attention to details allowed me to provide the best care for Tigger. I have been devastated since his passing. I currently still have 2 cats at home (Apollo + Moon). They're the sweetest boys and make my life very full. I lived with cats almost my entire life, and I know how important it is to keep their daily schedule the same. I always make pet care a priority. My animals (and the ones I am looking after) are the first things on my mind. Taking care of animals is more than just a job, it is now my lifestyle. 💕 I always make sure the animals have access to clean, cool, fresh water. That is the most important task, that I will always check on first. Secondly, it is most important to ensure each animal has appropriate access to food in the quantity and quality needed for them to maintain a healthy life. I have experience with feline prescription food diets, and understand the importance to not deviate from their special food. Thirdly, it is important that animals have access to a clean and stress free potty area. As a cat mom myself, I am constantly cleaning the littler box area for my own fur children to ensure they have a tidy space to use the bathroom.

About: Hi! My name is Taylor, I’m a lifelong animal lover with lots of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I work full‑time and am in the office four days a week, with remote work on Fridays, which gives me flexibility at the end of the week and allows me to spend quality time with the pets I’m caring for. I grew up with two golden doodles and a mini pinscher poodle, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I also have experience fostering kittens and caring for multiple pets at once. At home, I have two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feline care, routines, and personalities as well. I live in Port Washington and love taking dogs on neighborhood walks or to nearby parks for some fresh air and exercise. Whether your pet needs walks, overnight care, or just some extra company and attention, I’d love to help and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I work full-time remotely, so I’m available for dogsitting during the day! My work will just need to come with me, but your pup will still get plenty of love and attention throughout the day.

I’ll also send updates, so you know they’re happy and well cared for!
About: I don’t have much formal dog sitting experience yet, but I’m a college student looking to earn some extra income on the side. I’ve had two dogs of my own for the past six years, so I’m very comfortable with routines, feeding schedules, walks, and understanding dog behavior. I’m flexible with hours, patient, and will make sure your dog feels safe, cared for, and loved. I’m transitioning out of my full-time job to focus on school this summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available for overnight stays anytime and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and check-ins throughout the day. Pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to give your dog consistent attention, care, and companionship. I care for pets by following a consistent routine, just like I do with my own dogs. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m very attentive to their behavior and needs, whether that’s giving them space, exercise, or extra comfort. I also keep spaces clean and organized. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for the same way I treat my own dogs.
About: i’ve had dogs for as long as i can remember! i often dog sit for my parents and friends when they are out of town or have a long work day. i love meeting new dogs and seeing each different personality! i work part time at a dental office, so i have half days on mondays and thursdays, long days tuesdays and wednesdays, and i never work friday-saturday so i have a great schedule and lots of time on my hands to help with pets! safety and trust are two huge things for me, especially when it comes to our pets and homes. it’s very important to me that everyone involved in caretaking feels comfortable!
About: I've grown up with animals my whole life and have always had a passion for ensuring the wellbeing and meaningful care that each and every animal deserves. I worked at a dog daycare & walking facility in high school, and am now working at a vet clinic since 2023. I have 3 pups and 2 cats of my own and am happy to show all of your fur babies the same amount of love and affection I do my own. I work full-time at an emergency vet clinic but have a fixed schedule. Do not be afraid to message me for more specifics on my availability, as it's hard to properly express through the options on Rover. I am available late at night for drop in visits. I have plenty of experience caring for dogs and I believe every pet deserves time and respect no matter how shy or friendly, young or old. I work with plenty of dogs of all walks of life at my full time job. I understand it can be scary letting a stranger take care of a family member, and I want to ensure you are able to trust that I will care for your babies the best I can.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies requiring training and socialization to senior dogs needing patience and special attention. My background includes administering medications, handling dietary restrictions, and understanding behavioral cues to ensure each dog feels safe and loved. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, as I prioritize time for walks, play, feeding, and attention to each pet’s specific needs. I structure my day to ensure pets get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and relaxation. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday play session, or evening cuddle, I integrate pet care seamlessly into my schedule, treating each pet as if they were my own. I’m a college student and love decompressing with a furry friend. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. In my home, pets have access to cozy resting spots, plenty of toys, and supervised playtime in a secure space. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly area and follow your specific instructions for feeding, routines, and special needs. I live on 4 acres of farmland and love taking dogs out for playtime. When caring for pets in your home, I ensure their daily routines remain consistent, providing familiar comforts and maintaining their usual feeding, walking, and play schedules. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you’re always in the loop. My goal is to give your pet the care and attention they deserve while giving you peace of mind

About: Growing up, my mom was the Eau Claire County Humane Officer, FEMA Animal Emergency Management volunteer coordinator, and general manager of the Chippewa County Humane Association. Throughout my childhood I helped care for thousands of dogs, cat, rabbits, and even a handful of lizards and snakes. I am well versed in animal behavior, safety, and empathy! I am new to the world of personalized in home care, but hope to gain your trust and grow my experience. I am a homeschooling mom of one 6 year old (who LOVES dogs!) and our schedule is very flexible. We have a 3 year old animal friendly Australian Shepherd who we walk daily within our neighborhood, on the interurban trail (5 minute walk away) and run off lease on the beach when there's no one around! My 6 year old is very animal empathetic, and is always learning behavior and cues from our own Aussie. Having a high energy household, I understand the importance of plenty of time spent outside. We live in a large, upper, 2 bedroom apartment and can easily accommodate temporary space for one or two more pets (of the same family). We have a park with an open field for playing ball, and the interurban trail are both a short walk away. We have plenty of green space around our building for shorter potty breaks. I have a large Ruffland crate available for your pets use.
About: You can count on me to provide love and care for your pet. Experience with walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. I have taken care of puppies under 1 year old all the way to senior dogs. Flexible schedule, great communication, and a happy environment your dog will love while you’re away and relaxed. No doubt your dog will feel like family. I don’t have a job at the moment, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available any day of the week after 11am. I have a fenced yard and three fur babies that I monitor at all times. In a client’s home, I will keep doors secured, monitor them, and make sure they feel comfortable. For walks, I use secure leashes, stay aware of surroundings, and avoid interactions with other animals.
About: I have dreamed about walking dogs since I was a little girl and now I have found a way to do it and get paid! I have two Weiner dogs at my mom's house, a labordooddle at my dad's, and two cats of my own.I know and love all kinds of dogs and cats! I will care and treat them like they are my own so trust me they will get the best care ever! They may even get a little spoiled... But I can be strict if you have certain rules you want them to abide by! I have training. Please consider me when thinking about who can care for your furry children. I will give them the best care they deserve! I work part time and have a flexible schedule, so I can be available when needed. I have a car for easy transportation as well. My cats get supervised time outside on harnesses and time in the breezeway with open windows to get some fresh air. My neighborhood is good for taking dogs on walks and there is a wonderful dog park near by!

“Monique was wonderful!! She kept up great communication and photos. My dog has separation anxiety and it’s clear he was comfortable in her home. Will definitely have him stay with Monique the next time we are in the area. Thanks, Monique!!!”
“Halligan was so awesome and took care of our puppy this week. I got multiple updates, photos AND videos. It was so reassuring to know that Luna was with someone very caring and dependable. It made going on a work trip that much easier. Thank you, Halligan, so much! <3”
“Rebecca and Matthew and their boys took wonderful care of Hazel during her week-long stay. They were very detailed in caring for her and sent plenty of pictures and updates.”
“Shannon is great. She sends regular updates with pics and videos. She has a great backyard and built in dog friend for our Clyde to play with. We always feel confident our dog is in good hands and having a good vacation too when we book with Shannon.”
“Ann and Arman cared for our 6 month old puppy for two weeks and it was a great experience. Our puppy, May, was well loved, exercised, and included as part of their family from the first day. We got several updates each day with pictures from walks, school bus drop offs, bedtime routines, and playtime. We felt very comfortable that May was getting the best care possible and that made our vacation even more enjoyable. We will be using them again for sure to care for our pup. Thanks Ann & Arman!!”
“Josh and Cheryl were absolutely incredible with our dog, Tuck. He’s a high-energy, challenging pup who needs a lot of stimulation, and they went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for, engaged, and happy. They were attentive, active, and cared for him like their own. When his collar broke, they even bought him a new one without hesitation—such a thoughtful gesture that speaks to how much they truly care. We also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t recommend them more highly—if we could give more than 5 stars, we would!”
About: I grew up in a large and loving family with very high-energy dogs. Last May, my husband, two kiddos and myself said goodbye to the best dog in the entire world- we miss Dexter everyday. He wasn't just a dog to us, he was family. We currently have a cat named Beans who we adopted when she was a tiny kitty. She gets a lot of attention from our 4-year-old daughter who wants to be a Veterinarian one day. Over the years, we trained Dexter (a golden retriever), and had to learn a lot about cats since neither of us grew up with a cat. Beans is very, very particular. When I was younger I helped train the family dog(s) and spent countless hours playing, walking, bathing, petting and cuddling these dogs. It has been almost one year since Dexter passed away and I miss having a dog to pet and chit-chat with everyday. I would love to spend time with your pet. Currently, I do not work. I drop one kid off at 8:30am and the other at 12:45pm, and pick up both kids at 3:30pm. We do a lot of walking and biking around town. I have a lot of free time. Our schedule will change a little bit in the summer with the kids swim lessons and a couple camping trips. Our apartment complex has a fenced-in dog run, we are near the bike path, I am happy to clean-up after your pet when necessary. I respect all pet owner's rules to ensure pet safety when walking on the leash, dietary guidelines, etc. I am able to crate animals at your house, as well as ours, if necessary.
“Yolanda and her family did a wonderful job with Gizmo. It was our first time leaving him for a week and with someone through Rover. Yolanda's patience, kindness, and experience brought me relief knowing that my dog was in great hands. She did everything possible to calm my anxiety-ridden fur baby and made him comfortable; kept me updated and was responsive; sent me photos; and was very easy/flexible to work with. By the end of the week, Gizmo was playing with other dogs and taking long walks twice a day, which he never does! He's been home for almost 24 hours and I can tell he misses Yolanda, but mostly, he's been sleeping like a baby. LOL. I couldn't thank Yolanda and her family enough. I finally found someone who was willing to take in my dog and refused to give up on him even when times were hard. I highly recommend her services! I've found my FOREVER dog sitter :) Thank you again Yolanda!!”
“First time Rover experience and was all I coupldve hoped for. Kerry (and her husband!) were very kind, responsive, and put me at ease. Her dog made for some company for my pup too. Thanks again!!”
“Would definitely recommend Amanda as a sitter! Easy communication, easy to book, I appreciated the couple check ins during my dog’s stay! My dog came back looking well taken care of, happy, and tired from her exercise! Will definitely be using Amanda again!”
“Judy was amazing with Xena! I was very nervous to have her board for the first time but Judy eased my anxiety, kept me updated, and Xena had a wonderful time!”
“Pat was a great sitter and recognized that our dog Rowdy was in distress and took the initiative to get him to our vet. He ended up having emergency surgery for a twisted stomach, and if it wasn't for Pat's quick response it would have been a different outcome. We are thankful that Pat was caring for Rowdy.”
“Cortney was really accommodating and great with Bo. Also prompt in communicating and shared pictures and a video of Bo during his stay. Her dog was a great playmate for Bo and he had a blast. I would recommend Coutney!”
“Christine is absolutely fabulous! We have a 9 year old German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix. She is terrified of storms and on drop off day there was a big storm. Which made her way more unsettled, plus being in a new place. Took about 24 hours of the 4 days for our dog to get acclimated. Unfortunately, she even pooped in her house which she’s never done with us or any other sitter. We chalked it up to her being scared and nervous. Christine was so patient and understanding and willing to still watch her even though she had an accident and wanted nothing to do with them the first 24 hours. Our dog eventually came around and opened up. Christine sent texts, and videos through the days and kept us up date today. Seriously, could not be more thankful to have found them!”
“I absolutely loved my experience with the sitters! They’re so attentive, communicative, helpful in every way, I definitely will book again. I could tell with the updates that my dog was happy ( from photos I received every day) and very comfortable! It made my getaway so much easier to know he was well taken care of!”
“Sherry was so amazing in accommodating my senior pup within her home. Tedi was very comfortable and was able to enjoy all of her favorite things with Sherry from naps on the couch to car rides. I appreciated the photos and updates I received and could not have felt more comfortable being away from Tedi for an extended period of time. Definitely will be asking for a repeat stay should her schedule allow!”
“Jennifer was wonderful with watching our Lou for over a week. Very easy to communicate with and we really appreciated receiving updates and photos. We would definitely book with her again!”
“My dog had a wonderful time at this house and I received many pictures of her having fun. The family was also accommodating to our needs when we had some trouble getting back at the time we predicted.”
