Personalized care for your dog or cat - Hoopers Mill

“Ellen was wonderful! She sent pictures and videos of Twyla having a spectacular time. It was so nice to know someone was looking after her and treated her as one of her own. We will definitely be booking with Ellen again in the future!”

David V.

“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!!”

Cindy P.

“Finny had a blast! I got updates every day and I could see how happy and content he was while I was on vacation. I was very comfortable knowing he was safe and having a great time, and when he got home he was good and tired. Thank you so much! I would be super happy to bring him back and would highly recommend.”

Kristine B.

“Another AMAZING weekend for our baby girl with David. He is very caring and kind to our baby girl. He has so much room for her and her puppy friends! He has a beautiful yard where the puppies can play but also a beautiful home for them to run away too if weather isn't cooperating. It is like an adventure everything she goes to David's. She always comes home worn out from playing! David makes sure our baby is safe,fed, and loved while we are away. David is the ONLY sitter we have ever or will ever trust with our baby girl Jynx. Thank you again David!”

Trish R.

Ann Marie M.

“Great to work with! Helped me out in a pinch with my 3 dogs which can be quite a handful at times, but she welcomed them right in to her home for the weekend and they had a great time, even slept in bed all together with her! Sent pictures and video and kept in constant communication. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thanks Rebecca!!”

Julie t.

“Nikki was awesome! I love that she wanted to meet my cat first to make sure it was a good match for both of them. She was very knowledgeable about how to interact with my cat. During the drop-in visits, she took care to read the instructions I left and use the information to interact with my cat, including brushing him which he always enjoys. She left detailed report cards. I will 100% be a repeat customer! Thank you for taking such good care of my cat while I was away, Nikki!”

Gwen M.

About: Before my furrbaby (Tokie) passed away due to diabetes, I gave him a shot every morning, I would come home on my lunch break to clean up/ replace new puppy pads, wake up in the middle of the night to take him outside and also cooked protein to mix in with his food so he would feel more full throughout the day. I'm currently home by 5:30 Mon-Friday and flexible during the weekends. I have plenty of time outside of work for dog walks, fetch and feed etc. I live in a home (no kids or pets) with a yard and I live near many walking trails and dog parks. Your dog or puppy will be spoiled with attention, outside fun and snuggles galore.

“Robin did an amazing job with my dogs. She was patient, kind, and took great care of them during her drop-in visits. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!”

Shannon R.

“Tori provided drop-in care for our two cats over a period of three days while we traveled. The cats were well taken care of and she provided photo updates. Tori is reliable and friendly and the cats have a new bestie in their circle of friends!”

Laura T.

“We had such a great experience with Aubrey! Before we ever left, she took the time to come over and meet our cats, which meant so much to us. She asked thoughtful questions, paid attention to their personalities, and made sure she understood their routines and preferences. It immediately put us at ease knowing she cared enough to build that connection ahead of time. Our cats were comfortable and well cared for, and it was clear they recognized her when she came back. We truly appreciated the extra effort and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate cat sitter.”

Mikaela L.

“Ning is always timely, and gives our pets lots of love and attention. Nico was very happy for her visits today, as we can see in her photos and videos. Thank you Ning!”

Annette R.

“Shannon was a great pet sitter for our 2 cats. She always replied with photos of each visit and even went above and beyond by cleaning out the litter box. I would highly recommend using her services for your pets needs.”

Brandon M.

“Sadie did a great job! It was our first pet sitting venture, and my first time with Rover, which is always a bit nerve-wracking with our fur babies. But I was very pleased, and she tolerated, understood and followed my detailed instructions well. Thanks, Sadie and Rover! I'll definitely have you back!”

Mare E.

About: I volunteered at the Jefferson Humane Society for 3 years cleaning cat rooms, feeding, and cleaning cat litter boxes. I love working with cats just as much as dogs so I am able to take care of both!

About: I am an experienced Certified Veterinary Technician with 20 years experience - general practice, emergency, specialty, and shelter medicine! I currently foster kittens and adult cats with medical issues for our local humane society. I am able to give and help with a variety of medications if your pet needs them.

“Rosalina was absolutely amazing with my cats while I was away—I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the start, she was super communicative, reliable, and flexible. I have two cats in my “zoo” and she took such great care of them! She made sure they were fed, happy, and stuck to their routine. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. She also kept me updated while I was gone, which I really appreciated. Being away is always a little stressful, but knowing they were in such good hands made it that much easier! Rosalina also went above and beyond by helping with my snake’s bioactive enclosure and keeping up with watering to maintain the environment, which I really appreciated. I came home to two very happy, well-loved cats, a thriving bioactive enclosure, and everything was exactly how I left it. Truly the best feeling! I would 100% book with Rosalina again! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and just overall wonderful with animals. Anubis and Neffy definitely approve 🐾”

Kayla G.

“Adriana did a great job looking after my boy! I loved receiving the pictures and updates - I would recommend her to anyone in need of a cat sitter!”

Mark S.

“We were so happy to find a petsitter with cat experience on a holiday weekend. Bella agreed to house & pet sit for us and she went out of her way to spend extra time with our two housecats for two daily visits, and was even able to spend two nights in spite of her busy schedule. The cats warmed up to her and she reported having bed-buddies for the nights she stayed over. I was pleased that she heeded my request to contact us about anything, big or small. Thank you Bella, for watching our kitties & household!!”

Trish W.

“Ashley took great care of my cats with lots of pics.”

About: While I haven't owned any cats myself, I've grown up around them. My family and friends have always owned cats, and I absolutely love being able to take care of them. Whether they're playful, cuddly, or chill, I will give them the best care possible.

About: I’ve taken care of lots of cats! From abandoned, house sitting, and my own. I don’t mind cleaning those messy boxes, scooping litter, playing with them and giving them the best chin scratches. Ive clipped nails, bathed, brushed and feedings to hundreds of cats. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies in the future!

“Katie was just awesome with Bailey. Would definitely recommend her. She was also great to work with.”

Michael W.

Tori A.

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.

“David was easy to make arrangements with, and our dogs came home very ready for bed. A sign that they had an active and stimulating day. :) Grateful he was able to help us out without much notice as well!”

Stacy S.

“Our dogs enjoyed spending the day with Maura and her family. Maura has a fenced-in yard where they played safely and happily. Much appreciated.”

Anne C.

“Sarah and her pack did awesome!!! Can't thank her enough for taking in Winnie on such short notice. When I picked up Winnie I was taken back at how much Winnie had bonded with Sarah in such a short period of time. Sarah was aware of Winnie's IBD issues and updated me on how she did. I really appreciated her for that!!!! This family definitely loves dogs!!!”

Marshall H.

About: I genuine care and give attention to every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with puppies who are still learning routines, including basic training and potty schedules, and I’m also gentle and mindful with senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or extra comfort. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I currently work only 2 days out of the week, but my schedule is very flexible, and can switch days if need be! Will accommodate I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable and follow the routine they’re used to. In a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention so pets feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and make sure pets stay on their normal schedule. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean environment with supervised play, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of affection. I always pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and any special instructions from the owner to make sure they feel happy and cared for.

About: My family and I truly enjoy watching other family’s animals. It allows us to help families not worry about their pets when they are not able to take care of them. I’m a full time teacher, so I have quite a bit of flexibilities during the summer time. I am available to board during the school year as well. I am available after 3:30 to tend to animals during the school year. I have a fenced in back yard and take our own dog for a walk daily. We have one dog, 2 cats, and one hamster. They are all very friendly.

“Miko had a great time with Lainee! We got pictures and updates daily which were so nice for our first time being apart from our kitten. Definitely recommend!”

Makenzie C.

“Kirby’s visit went well. Kyle and Alaina met with us twice before taking care of her. This showed they understood Kirby’s anxiety and were very patient!”

Carla P.

“Shelly was so great with my Vinnie. It was his first time staying with Shelly and he clearly had a blast. He came home happy but exhausted - perfect win. I'm so grateful Shelly was willing and able to care for Vinnie on pretty short notice - we will definitely be back :)”

Lindsay K.

Tabitha M.

“Hi Elizabeth, I just wanted to say thank you for taking such great care of Fox! I really appreciated the updates while I was away. It’s clear you gave her lots of attention and care, and I could tell she was happy and comfortable with you. I’d absolutely trust you again and would happily recommend you to others. Thanks again!”

Raymond X.

“My dog had a great time staying at Tina and Cameron's for a fun-filled day of daycare. She enjoyed two walks, got to run around in their large fenced in backyard, and was able to socialize with their two dogs! Tina was so sweet and I felt really comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. You can tell right away that her and Cameron are extremely knowledgeable and have a lot of experience in caring for dogs. My dog came home very happy and ready for a nap - perfect! :) Definitely will be a repeating customer!”

Molly H.

“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.”

Heather L.

About: Caring for others (especially animals) is truly my passion! I was a nanny for over 5 years which opened me up to pet care as well. Since most families I worked for had pets, I took on the responsibility of caring for them as well as their children. Hi there! Just a little bit about me! Caring for others (especially animals) is genuinely my passion! I was a nanny for over four years which opened me up to pet care as well. Since most families I worked for had pets, I took on the responsibility of caring for them as well as their children. I do not work outside of the home which means I can dedicate all of my time to your pet! I usually take one booking at a time, so if your pet doesn’t get along with other pets that’s no problem.

“Nicole is absolutely wonderful. I came to her with a dog who was super anxious at his last sitter (to no fault of the sitter), stubborn, and a senior, and she is so understanding and kind. Ollie is vocal and set in his ways, and she was able to make his experience super positive and he really seemed to like her. I will absolutely be booking her anytime she is available, and as long as she wants Ollie back.”

Erin C.

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!

“John did an excellent job of taking care of my Sylvester. And Sylvester was excited to go back!”

Jennifer P.

“Nikki was a life saver when I needed to go out of town to see my daughter before Christmas! 🎄 She treated Asher like her own and gave him just what he needed to be a happy puppy while was gone! She went over and beyond to train him during walks, too! Thank you, wonderful woman!”

Virginia B.

About: I have grown up always having pets in my home. When I was living with my parents, we had 3 cats and a dog. I currently have two cats with my husband. I’ve done overnights, dog walking, cat watching, and check ins with a variety of different owners. I look forward to helping take care of your furry friends! :) I am a teacher so I can help with your pet before and/or after school. I typically leave for work around 7am and come home around 5pm. I live a very active lifestyle so walking dogs is something I would truly enjoy. I have a car to drive (or can walk if local) to check in on your pets as well.

About: I have 15+ years of professional pet care experience through shelter, boarding, dog daycare and rescue experience. I previously managed a large scale, highly awarded facility in Madison. I can offer a vast amount of knowledge to make sure your pet not only has a great time while you are away but also is safe and well card for. I offer walks and drop in visits any day of the week. Walks can be in your own neighborhood, at a nearby trail location of your choosing or off leash at my rural home in our 1.75 acre fenced in yard. (Additional travel fees may apply for locations other than your home.) Your pup will come home tired from not only physical exercise but also from mental stimulation as I will encourage them to use their sniffer and their brain with basic obedience. I also offer a limited amount of In-Home Pet Sitting services in customer homes only. I am not able to sleepover in customer homes due to having pets/children of my own but can offer house sitting on a drop in basis and make multiple, extended visits to your home daily at your preferred times. I look forward to meeting your and your pet! I work a part time job that is only in person on Mondays. Every other day of the week my schedule is very flexible for walks, drop ins or pet sitting services. At our meet and greet we will discuss safety protocols for getting your pet inside and outside safety as well as ensure they have a collar/harness setup that is secure for walks.

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.

“Ning is amazing! She has shown such wonderful care for my boy, Cosmo!”

About: I have always had a dog in my house growing up, so i understand the basics of dog care. Currently I work at a dog daycare. I've been working there for 2 years and it has helped me understand more about dog behaviors, and care for them efficiently and effectively. Before that I volunteered at the Jefferson Humane Society for 3 years helping clean out animal cages/rooms and providing affection to all the rescued animals. I'm looking for extra work during the summer in between my internship and job. Internship is 3 days a week, job is 2. So I don't have a bunch of time but I do have some open hours where I can do dog walks and some daycare shifts. I have a lot of experience with a variety of dogs and their behaviors. I can create dogs when needed and can walk dogs without any issues.

“Rosalina is great and I would highly recommend her! She is easy to communicate with, professional, and great with our dog Selkie who has been enjoying her walks.”

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 would love to handle your pups with the same care and love I give my own. I am looking to help any owners who need help! I could do any availability at this time as I do not have a full time job. I will make sure to give all your fur babies the same amount of love I give my very own. I will follow anyone directions that are given and make sure to give the fur baby a great and loving time!

David L.

About: I have helped my family take care of our pets almost my whole life! Since moving out I’ve had my own pets (cats and dogs). I understand the importance of giving your pet attention while you’re gone, since they could be stressed with the change in routine! I’m a farm girl at heart! I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, sheep, ducks, chickens, cows, pigs, rats, hamsters….you name it! I work from home so I’m available to spend time with your pets throughout the day! As long as I have access to Wi-Fi I can work from anywhere! I am comfortable with crate training if your pet needs it. I follow direction very well so just leave me with a detailed note on how things run and I’ll keep it as consistent as possible for your pet!

About: I always had a dog. The house isn’t a home if you don’t have a dog. Family brings there dog over. Every one gets along I’m working part time . Will have time to play and walk your dog. I care for dogs. I have a dog name Louie. We’re always outside I have a big fenced in yard . I have a dog so my house is dog proof. I have a one story house on a quiet street.

About: I have 35 plus years of taking care of dogs. I love our 2 dogs and they are part of our family. We also do have barn cats, a hobby farm with pigs, goats, chickens, and barn cats. I love taking pups for walks and helping let them out if people in the area could use an extra hand with their pups for whatever reason. I work remotely, so I often have a flexible schedule to assist with animals. I have a family and children and also help coach sports for them, so just need to work around their schedule (their activities are in the evening and on weekends, so those times are more limited for me). In my home, we have a fenced yard in which we let our dogs out for quick bathroom breaks. I also walk our dogs around our property (hobby farm) and in town on leashes.

About: Since my family got a chihuahua in 2011, I have loved dogs! And in 2021, my family got 2 new puppies! I only have owned small dogs but I volunteer at the Humane Society and have worked with dozens of dogs with different sizes and temperemants! Thursdays and Fridays are my most available days, but let me know what you need and I will find time! I am an online student so I don't have many time constraints! I can give your dog exercise and some extra loving when you don't have the time or energy. Enrichment time is important for all dogs, no matter the size or age!

About: I've had dogs my whole life! Most have been middle size dogs - lab mixes, etc. I have experience with taking care of all size of pets though.I also walked dogs at a local humane society until I adopted my own bundle of joy! I have dog sat for all different sizes and types of dogs and genuinely enjoy being around them. Like I said above - I sometimes prefer dogs over people haha! I would love to get back into walking and socializing dogs looking for good homes! I love being able to help them find new homes! I just have a connection with dogs and love being around them! I currently work during the day but am free nights and weekends and would love to meet your member(s) of the family! :)

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a well-rounded and deeply committed approach to pet care. I am the owner of Oh My Paws, a pet-sitting business I started during college, and have worked as a kennel technician, dog handler for Can Do Canines, and am currently completing an apprenticeship at a Humane Society. These roles have given me experience with a variety of temperaments, medical needs, and behavioral challenges. What truly sets me apart is my background in dog behavior and training. I am currently studying to earn my CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed) certification and have experience training service dogs through the Falcon Fetch program. This gives me a unique ability to understand body language, reduce stress in pets, and ensure a safe, enriching environment during their care. Pet care is a central part of my life and something I prioritize in my weekly routine. I have very open availability on weekends (Saturday–Sunday), and I’m also available on Mondays if needed. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent and dependable care, whether it’s for daily visits, overnights, or last-minute bookings. Because I run my own pet-sitting business and am actively involved in training and animal welfare work, I structure my schedule around the pets I care for. I take the time to provide each animal with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and a calm, safe environment. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I begin with a detailed intake to learn about each pet’s routine, medical needs, triggers, and preferences, and I tailor my care accordingly. I use positive reinforcement and clear communication to build trust with animals, helping them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routines as closely as possible to reduce stress. I’m respectful of the home environment, leave things exactly as I found them, and provide regular updates with photos and notes for peace of mind.

“Ellen was wonderful! She sent pictures and videos of Twyla having a spectacular time. It was so nice to know someone was looking after her and treated her as one of her own. We will definitely be booking with Ellen again in the future!”

“Finny had a blast! I got updates every day and I could see how happy and content he was while I was on vacation. I was very comfortable knowing he was safe and having a great time, and when he got home he was good and tired. Thank you so much! I would be super happy to bring him back and would highly recommend.”

“Another AMAZING weekend for our baby girl with David. He is very caring and kind to our baby girl. He has so much room for her and her puppy friends! He has a beautiful yard where the puppies can play but also a beautiful home for them to run away too if weather isn't cooperating. It is like an adventure everything she goes to David's. She always comes home worn out from playing! David makes sure our baby is safe,fed, and loved while we are away. David is the ONLY sitter we have ever or will ever trust with our baby girl Jynx. Thank you again David!”

“Sarah did a great job with our highly anxious dog. I know she was really stressed being away from our family, so we appreciate all Sarah did. She worked with us when we had to adjust who picked our dog up and we had no issues.”

“Emma was absolutely amazing! Oscar (our Springer Spaniel pup) loved his weekend with Emma and her dogs, and came back so happy - and tired - from all the fun. They played, went on walks and I got all the photos along the way! We definitely plan to use Emma's services again- hopefully very soon!”

Ann Marie M.

“Great to work with! Helped me out in a pinch with my 3 dogs which can be quite a handful at times, but she welcomed them right in to her home for the weekend and they had a great time, even slept in bed all together with her! Sent pictures and video and kept in constant communication. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thanks Rebecca!!”

“This is our second time using Erika for our pup while we are on vacation. She's been wonderful both times- so flexible and great at keeping us updated. I love that our pup has built in playmates during his stay!”
