Personalized care for your dog or cat - Hortonville
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Hortonville
“We have had the same dog sitter since our 5 year old dog was born. She was unavailable for our most recent vacation, so used Rover for the first time and ended up deciding to go with Bobbi (and her family) and have our 2 doggies stay with them for our time away. We had a quick meet and greet to make sure our 2 doggies got along well with her dog, which went great. Bobbi sent reassuring messages and pictures every single day of our 12 day trip. Typically when we pick our pups up from our other sitter, particularly after a longer trip like this, they cry with joy to see us... run all over with excitement they cannot contain. This time when we picked them up, they seemed happy to see us, but not nearly as excited as usual, which to us indicated they MIGHT have preferred to just continue to hang with Bobbi and crew. It honestly couldn't have went better! We are so happy to have found Bobbi!”
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
“Felt very good about leaving our 2 dogs with Frank. Received pictures and updates as to how our dogs were doing and it left me feeling comfortable with the care they were receiving.. I would surely use Frank again for future boarding.. Top Notch Care!”
“My Sheltie,Cody, absolutely loves when he gets to stay at Gina’s house. He goes on walks with her and has lots of fun and friends to hang out with. I can leave leave him with her and know he’s in the best care. Hands down…without a doubt…Gina is my go-to dog sitter. If I can’t get Gina I don’t go on vacation, simple as that 💙💜💙”
“As usual Mikey’s stay with Korri was excellent! He loves staying with them and we feel completely comfortable that our fur baby is well taken care of. She sends lots of pictures while we are away too. A++”
“We had such a great experience with Brooke! We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. We would absolutely book with her again—highly recommend!”
“By far my dog’s favorite sitter! She is always treated like part of their family and she has so much fun playing with their dogs. I love all the photos and the run down of all the fun playtime she got during the day!”
“I was a bit nervous to leave my puppy with people I didn't know, so we were able to meet up at a dog park first, to make sure their dog got along with mine. I got pictures throughout her over night stay and got my pup back super tired from all the play time she got in! Very happy with our experience!”
“Maria was great! While on vacation we got delayed an extra night due to a tropical storm and she was quick to help and eased any worry of having a safe place for our dog. Chewy is a great pup but in need of a little extra attention and Maria easily fulfilled this as she only watched one dog at a time having Chewy return to us happy and healthy! We were also able to see updates on him through the pictures she sent and could see his personality still shining through as he was definitely comfortable in her care.”
“Savannah was great with my dog. She kept me updated and was very flexible. We were traveling through a winter storm and I was so thankful that she was so flexible. Thanks again Savannah.”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Susan was wonderful to work with when trying to find a sitter for our dog. She was quick to respond and was so kind to our dog. I loved that she sent pictures while we were away. I highly recommend Susan. :)”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Anu and her family could not have been more amazing and helpful with my Husky! We had to travel last minute and Anu and her family were there for us last minute so I didn’t have to board our dog. We are so grateful for her great communication, lovely family, abundance of updates and photos, and the unmatchable peace of mind we had while away. Thank you Anu and your amazing family!”
“I don’t know what I would do without Kimberly she is so fantastic. She taught LaRena how to shack this overnight visit. LaRena didn’t want to leave she has so much fun. I can’t thank Kimberly enough I had day surgery and I didn’t worry at all about what I was going to do with LaRena”
“My dog Luna spent a week at Anna & George's home, which was her 1st time with a pet sitter. She did well, and I appreciated that Anna shared a couple photos during Luna's stay, which helped reassure me since it's a new relationship. Anna kept Luna's routine, including walks and some play time, and gave her lots of TLC.”
“Chelsea was wonderful helping me. It was my first time using rover.com. She kept in touch with us throughout our vacation. I really appreciated the pictures sent. I would recommend Chelsea and contact her again for future needs. Thanks!!”
About: Dogs have always been part of our family. Most recently, we shared 12 wonderful years with our yellow lab, JD. After an aggressive cancer diagnosis, we spent his final months providing senior care, treatments, extra comfort, and all the love he deserved. Saying goodbye was heartbreaking, but it reminded us just how much love we still have to give to dogs. We live on a fully fenced half-acre with plenty of room for sniffing, exploring, playing fetch, and zoomies. Inside, your dog will find comfortable places to relax, nap, and feel right at home. Daily walks, playtime, and plenty of attention are all part of the experience. What sets us apart is our lifelong experience as pet owners and our commitment to treating every dog like family. I also have experience as a professional dog groomer, which has given me additional knowledge of canine behavior, handling, grooming needs, and overall care. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, an active adult, or a senior who needs a slower pace and extra patience, we understand that every pet is unique. We know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving home away from home where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and loved. One of us is almost always home, allowing us to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. During the workweek, we work remotely and build regular potty breaks, play sessions, and walks into our routine (weather and temperatures permitting). Weekends offer even more opportunities for outdoor time in our fully fenced half-acre yard, where dogs can safely explore, sniff, play, and enjoy plenty of zoomies. When it's time to relax, your pup can curl up indoors on comfortable cushions and enjoy all the attention and affection they want. We believe dogs thrive when they're part of the family, so your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will receive the same care, comfort, and love we'd want for our own. Your dog's safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a quiet home with no children, no other pets, and very few visitors, creating a calm environment where dogs can relax and feel secure. Our fully fenced half-acre yard provides plenty of space for supervised outdoor play, exploration, and exercise. We avoid using pesticides and weed treatments to help maintain a pet-safe environment both inside and outside the home. We understand that every dog has different needs and routines. We have dog gates available to create comfortable spaces when needed, and a crate can be provided for dogs who are crate-trained or simply feel more secure having a space of their own. Whether your dog loves to play, lounge in the sun, or curl up for a nap indoors, we'll tailor their care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. When caring for pets, we follow their owners' routines and preferences as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. Our goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and love that we would want for our own dog.

Cat caregivers near you - Hortonville
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs with a variety of needs, including regularly dog-sitting for a dog with epilepsy and administering care according to their specific health requirements. I am certified in dog training and have experience working with a comfort dog through my university, which has helped me develop strong skills in reading canine behavior, building trust, and providing calm, consistent care. In addition, I have completed multiple courses focused on compassionate care, allowing me to provide attentive, patient, and individualized support for every dog I care for. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, a puppy, a senior, or has special medical needs, I am committed to ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I work full time, but I have availability in the afternoons after work and am fully available on weekends to stay with and care for pets. I’m committed to making sure each dog gets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship during those times. I’m reliable and able to plan my schedule in advance to ensure I can meet each pet’s needs while their owners are away. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and trustworthy environment for every pet in my care, whether in my home or the client’s home. I closely follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medication, routines, and behavior needs to ensure consistency and comfort for the pet. When caring for dogs in my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with constant supervision and a structured routine for walks, playtime, and rest. I have experience caring for dogs with special medical needs, including epilepsy, and I am attentive to any signs of stress or health changes. I am certified in dog training and use positive reinforcement and calm handling techniques to build trust and reduce anxiety. Additionally, my experience working with a comfort dog and training in compassionate care has strengthened my ability to provide patient, gentle, and responsible care for animals of all temperaments and needs.
“Great experience! Sara took wonderful care of my pet, always arrived within the timeframe, spent the entire allotted time giving love and affection, sent pics, asked great questions. Will definitely use Sara again!”
“Abigail was an excellent communicator and very trustworthy. This was our first time using Rover, and were a little nervous, but Abigail sent us photos and little updates that reassured us that our 4 kitties were in good hands. We highly recommend Rover & Abigail!”
“Sara was amazing! My cat, Sandy, warmed up to her right away. I really appreciated all the extra steps Sara took to make sure Sandy was comfortable and happy while I was away. I was able to relax knowing Sandy was well taken care of”
About: I have extensive hands‑on experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. From shy, slow‑to‑warm kitties to confident social butterflies, I understand how to read feline body language and adjust my approach to make every cat feel safe and respected. My care includes feeding routines, litter box maintenance, enrichment play, grooming support, and administering medications when needed. I’m attentive to subtle changes in behavior—whether it’s appetite, energy, or mood—so I can keep your cat comfortable and content while you’re away.
“Allison is a true Cat Whisperer! We have 2 kitties, each with very different personalities--one who is very shy and the other who thinks he's a guard dog and threatens to attack the "intruder". But in a very short time she has charmed both of them. The shy one is coming out of her shell and the aggressive one sees her as his new best friend....a truly difficult thing to do with animals who don't trust strangers. I HIGHLY recommend her services....there are "no worries" leaving the house when Allison is in charge!”
“Caitlin was amazing, this was my first time using this app amd at last minute request she will willing to help. Very friendly and great communication. My cat looked like she had a great time and will use her again!”
“Anna was fantastic. She communicates with me daily. This is the second time I’ve hired her for pet sitting, she does a great job and I will definitely hire her again in the future.”
“I was a first time Rover user and Kimberly made everything so easy. She answered every question in a timely manner. The meet and greet put my mind to ease. Loved the report and pictures every time she stopped to take care of our cats. I would recommend Kimberly and her son to take care of your pets.”
About: Hello! Over the last few years, I have gained experience in caring for dogs in daycare and boarding settings, as well as in some training settings. The knowledge that I have gained from these experiences sets me apart because I now know the importance of building trust with pets. I am an advocate for positive reinforcement training methods, and have some experience with Fear Free methods as well. While I do not have any dog training certifications, I have had the opportunity to work alongside some wonderful dog professionals who have expanded my knowledge and understanding of what it means to advocate for all dogs, especially those who may be a bit more fearful. If you have a pet who needs to take things slow, or has some behaviors that may not make them successful in a dog daycare setting, I would be happy to see if I can make it into their "safe people" club! After 3 years working full-time in the dog care industry, I have become fluent in dog body language and communication. If you have questions about your dog's behavior, I'm happy to give you my best input and point you in the direction of resources that may be a good fit for you and your pet! I am also happy to take care of baths and nails for dogs as long as you have supplies. I have 3 years of professional experience in both, but no haircuts:) I am working part time in the mornings and evenings for a few hours at a time, so I can fill my schedule around those hours with hanging out with your pet! In caring for your pup, I will monitor their behavior and ensure they are happy and excited about any activities we may be doing. When on walks, I like to keep away from any other dogs or people we may come upon, just to ensure everyone's safety and comfort. I keep a close eye on our surroundings, both on walks and in homes, to ensure nothing ends up in the mouths of curious pups that shouldn't be there.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hortonville
“Kimberly and her sweet son were so kind and welcoming. She was very conscientious of my dog's needs and sent many photos/updates throughout the day. Playtime and trails walks wore her out! She slept the whole way home. Thank you for taking such good care of our Emma!”
“We had a last-minute Rover request, and Bobbi responded quickly and made booking easy. Even though it was a short stay, we could tell our dog had a great time especially with Mercy, their adorable pug! Bobbi shared updates and photos, and Nova seemed to really enjoy their spacious backyard. Bobbi was so kind and welcoming. We’d absolutely recommend her to others!”
“Emily took such good care of our Obi! Emily and her family took him in like their own! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was very attentive to all our puppy’s needs 😊 🩷 Would highly recommend Emily for all your pets needs!”
“Bobbie and Clark have watched our rescues a couple of times now, and seemed happy to see them again. Our most sensitive hesitant dog tried to follow Bonnie back the house when it was time to come home! Feel relieved to have them available to watch our loved ones when we can’t be home.”

We are best set up to care for dogs at our home, with easy access to our backyard and a longer, outdoor leash (no fence). My eleven-year-old enjoys animals as well, and he often scooters with me during doggie walks. I have experience with elderly dogs and anxious dogs.
“Great experience, Ally did a great job watching Bart. She was very accommodating with us. After meeting both her an Coy we felt very comfortable leaving Bart in her care. We would definitely let her watch him again.”
About: Since childhood, I have been responsible for the care of various animals, including dogs, cats, and small animals of diverse species.

During the summer months, we thoroughly enjoy spending time outdoors. I have a spacious backyard that is not fenced in, but I have a long tie-out if needed for your furry friends. Your pets will be well cared for.

“My dogs had an amazing day! I got updates and pictures throughout the day! They got to go for a walk! My youngest dog was sleeping less than 5 minutes into our drive home. I would give 10 stars if I could!!”
“This was a last minute need so it was great he could watch Cody with very short notice. Cody is an older dog and does not take change well, so it was fantastic he was excited to return the next day which means Cody really enjoyed his stay. Great care and communication! Cody was all smiles!”
About: I have had pets all my life! Including dogs, cats, geckos, and fish. I am super passionate about dogs especially, as is my husband. I have dog sat for numerous families in the past, and would love to put my skills to use by hosting pets, and dog walking! We are an incredibly dog friendly house, where dogs are treated as humans. We have a sweet two year old hound mix named Charlie. He LOVES all people and dogs, and would also love some friends to play with!

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, horses, ducks, and rabbits. I also had a great deal of time with other animals such as cows, and chickens at my Grandpa's dairy farm. One of my past jobs was being a dog sitter, to care for them, and do some training as well. I loved it! 🙂😁 I now have a German Shepard and Husky mix named Apollo, and I love teaching him new things, spending time with him, and of course taking care of him. 🥰❤️ I'm currently working as a house cleaner, and although I love the job, I would like to work some more hours. Sometimes clients cancel or reschedule cleanings resulting in less hours. I'm looking to do this hopefully full time, as I miss working with dogs. 🙂😁 I currently have a huge yard, but I can also give walks if suggested. I'm welcoming any animals except cats due to my boyfriend being allergic. I will do my very best to help any of your fur babies feel at home. 💌😁
“Highly recommend Chelsea! She was very easy to communicate with and was able to take Voss on short notice when we had to be in town unexpectedly. My dog had a fun day playing with her dogs in the fenced back yard and house. She even trimmed his nails for us which was really great. We’ll be back if we need care in Oshkosh again!”
“Cristy was amazing! Her home was so cute and tidy. She has a sweet little dog that played so well with my dog whom normally doesn’t care much for others. Cristy was kind, communicative, and flexible.”
“My Jojo loved her stay with Maria today! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. I appreciated all the timely communication- even before we arrived. Amazing service. Thank you so much!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Hortonville
About: I've spent my entire life having animals and loved them for my entire life. I've had cats my entire life, and often this is not lent itself well to me also owning a dog. We currently own three cats one 12 year old lady, and two 2 year old brothers. When I was young I would walk the neighbor's dog just so I could get some dog time in. In college and after college I had several roommates who had dogs I lived with, who I would also help care for either just for fun or while they were gone. I have also taken care of friends dogs while they are out of town on vacation. I have experience with cats from 6 weeks old all the way up to end of life. I have experience in giving cats medication, special diets, special instructions and any other quirks your cat may have. I'm experienced in walking dogs, playing with dogs, feeding dogs (including special diets) and while I love larger dogs, I currently am unable to care for them due to a medical condition and it only able to care for a small dogs. I'm currently taking a break from my career and have very flexible availability, both during the week and on the weekends. I do request 24 hours notice. I will take care of your pets with the instructions you leave me with. I will rely on you as the pet parent to make all major decisions and follow your rules as best as possible. I am great with communication and will regularly communicate with you to show you how your pets are doing while you're out of town and ask any questions that arise while you're gone.
“I hired Sasha to walk our dog and let him out for a potty break midday while my husband and I were at work. Sasha was very quick and easy to communicate with. We really enjoyed the couple pictures sent and the great care she took of our pup! We will definitely be continuing to use her services!”
About: I have had pets all of my life including cats, dogs, fish & guinea pigs. I have taken care of pets (dogs & cats) for friends and family members while they are away. I will treat your fur baby like it is my own. I volunteer with a rescue in my free time. I enjoy watching fur babies multiple times & spending time with them. I'm available Friday evenings, Saturday & Sundays. I work during the week and I could assist during the week but I would need to discuss further with the needs for your fur babies. I can follow the directions that are given to care for your fur babies in your home. I am currently unable to offer boarding in my home.
“Madalyn is consistent and flexible on scheduling walks! She was so kind to my dog when she realized he was scared of a thunderstorm! She sat with him and came back later to walk him when the storm was over.”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring animal lover with a lifelong passion for pets. I’ve grown up around cats, dogs, and many other animals my entire life, so being around animals comes very naturally to me. I’m extremely comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand how important it is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also have experience with basic dog training, including potty training, leash manners, and teaching simple commands like sit, lay down, and stay. Whether your pet loves playtime and walks or prefers cuddles and quiet company, I’m happy to adjust to their needs and routine. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, patience, and care. I know how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pets, and I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care you can feel confident about. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. As a realtor, I often work remotely and create my own schedule, so I’m able to stop by for potty breaks, feeding visits, walks, playtime, or check-ins as needed. Whether your pet needs quick drop-ins during the workday or extra attention while you’re away, I can usually accommodate a variety of schedules and care needs. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I believe many pets feel less stressed when they can stay in their own home surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and schedules. I make sure pets stay on their regular routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and lots of love and attention. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and independent. I also make sure the home stays clean, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care so both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.
About: Hi! I just recently moved to the Appleton area after college and no longer have a dog at home. I grew up with dogs my whole life and have loved getting to take care of them. Taking my dogs on walks was one of my favorite things to do in the summer. To help missing my childhood dog, I’d love to hang out with yours! I’m a teacher during the school year, so I have plenty of free time during the summer months. I’m available during the week and most weekends to hang out with your dogs. I can’t wait to play with and care for your dog at your home, the same way you would. Please let me know any specific things I should include for your dog specifically.
About: I’ve had a dog growing up and also grew up watching families and friends pets. I love any animal and love walking, and spoiling your babies!! I work as a nurse so I work three times a week! I am flexible on the weekends and during the week when I’m not working:)) I have trained my dog when we got her and have taught her certain things like ringing the bell to go outside, sitting and shaking, and I am always the one to offer to bathe and do any task with my pup. I’m a nurse so nothing grosses me out😂
About: I have over 6 years of animal experience with dogs, bunnies, and cats. I am active and ready to walk your dogs and play with them! I currently have 2 job working at Target and Nakashimas. I am available after 1pm on Mondays and Saturdays. I am available all day on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday mornings and Sunday morning (6am-11-30am). I am also flexible for last minute bookings. I have 1 dog and 1 cat. I take my dog for a walk everyday and sometimes my cat in his little cat backpack. I feed them every morning 7am and night 6pm! I give them my full attention, like they are my child and have studied them to know exactly what they need. While taking care of your fur baby's I will accommodate to their needs and give my full attention to them and make sure they are happy and always safe.
About: I’ve spent several years providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection to keep pets happy and relaxed while their families are away. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment so every pet feels comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly rhythm, especially since I work from home three days a week. On those WFH days, I’m able to offer flexible, consistent attention—perfect for pets who enjoy companionship, regular check‑ins, or a steady routine. I build feeding times, walks or play sessions, potty breaks, and general wellness checks around my work blocks, making sure pets get the care and interaction they need throughout the day. On the days I’m in the office, I plan visits intentionally to keep each pet’s routine stable. Whether it’s morning care, midday enrichment, or evening check‑ins, I make sure every pet gets predictable, comforting attention. Because I’m used to balancing a hybrid schedule with pet responsibilities, I’m very organized and reliable about maintaining consistent care all week long. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine, environment, and comfort exactly the way they’re used to. I follow the owner’s instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, medication needs, and any household rules—so pets feel secure and stress‑free. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, whether they need extra play, quiet companionship, or a slow, gentle approach. I keep the home tidy and respectful, making sure food and water areas stay clean, litter boxes or potty routines are maintained, and any messes are handled right away. I also pay attention to small details like closing gates, locking doors, turning lights on or off as requested, and keeping the home feeling lived‑in and safe. Throughout the stay, I send updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing.
About: I've been taking care of my friends, family and neighbors dogs for as long as I can remember. Anything from daily to week long periods I have fed, walked, and cared for those animals, as well as overnight stays at either my home or theirs. Pet care fits extremely well into my routine, I am an online college student with a majority of free time and flexibility. I am typically up early and readily available most of the time. I remain especially cleanly in my own home and clients, making sure to clean/ tidy up after the pet as well as stay attentive to their needs. Another way I care for pets is by enjoying their company, talking, playing and interacting with them on walks and at home to make sure they are safe, happy and attended to.
About: Growing up I've always been surrounded by pets of all sorts; dogs and cats and many others. Currently since I've moved out on my own I have a few of my own furbabies (my three cats Penny & Minx & Cheezeburger) that being said I live in my own home.If you choose me then you are helping me give some love to a furry critter who might need that extra help from a new special friend! I currently work first shift and have oodles of love to give hense why I 3 furbabies of my own haha. Typically you can find me fixing things around my house and with summer around the corner I crave to walk more hense why I think being a dog walker would be a interesting twist on how to spice up my life. Depending on your service that is needed we could further talk about what the expectations are. May it be a walk or feeding or simply to give them the good old belly rubs; just being there will be quite the joy.
About: I love to help, I love animals, and to travel! Thus I want to help take care of your animals while you travel!

About: Thank you for considering me to be your trusted pet sitter! I have had dogs in my life since I was a young child. I have owned my own dogs for 11 years. I have experience with both puppies and seniors alike! My family and I are definitely “dog” people in every way! I offer personalized, one on one care for your furry family member! I currently work full time from home with a very flexible schedule and am home all weekends as well! I can accommodate your dogs routine into my day! I have experience with giving both oral and injection medication. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around regular drop-in visits and dog walks, making sure each pet receives consistent care, attention, and exercise. I plan my routes and time blocks efficiently so I can be dependable and flexible for clients, whether they need recurring walks or occasional drop-ins. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so it’s a priority in my routine rather than something I squeeze in. I provide attentive, in-home drop-in care so pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. During each visit, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, take care of potty breaks or litter box needs, provide playtime, walks if requested, and plenty of affection. I also follow any specific routines or instructions the owner provides, administer basic medications if needed, and keep the home tidy by cleaning up pet-related messes. I always prioritize safety, consistency, and communication, and I send updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.

“We have had the same dog sitter since our 5 year old dog was born. She was unavailable for our most recent vacation, so used Rover for the first time and ended up deciding to go with Bobbi (and her family) and have our 2 doggies stay with them for our time away. We had a quick meet and greet to make sure our 2 doggies got along well with her dog, which went great. Bobbi sent reassuring messages and pictures every single day of our 12 day trip. Typically when we pick our pups up from our other sitter, particularly after a longer trip like this, they cry with joy to see us... run all over with excitement they cannot contain. This time when we picked them up, they seemed happy to see us, but not nearly as excited as usual, which to us indicated they MIGHT have preferred to just continue to hang with Bobbi and crew. It honestly couldn't have went better! We are so happy to have found Bobbi!”
“Amazing person! She knew how it was my first time getting a puppy sitter and I was worried and not let alone nervous but Emily was 100% able to re-ensure me that My baby girl would do Amazing! Love Emily and her family already for doing such amazing job with my baby girl and prove to me that everything WILL be okay!! She even sent me pictures and videos, I had tons of happy tears even though I missed my baby girl!!”
“Felt very good about leaving our 2 dogs with Frank. Received pictures and updates as to how our dogs were doing and it left me feeling comfortable with the care they were receiving.. I would surely use Frank again for future boarding.. Top Notch Care!”
“My Sheltie,Cody, absolutely loves when he gets to stay at Gina’s house. He goes on walks with her and has lots of fun and friends to hang out with. I can leave leave him with her and know he’s in the best care. Hands down…without a doubt…Gina is my go-to dog sitter. If I can’t get Gina I don’t go on vacation, simple as that 💙💜💙”
“As usual Mikey’s stay with Korri was excellent! He loves staying with them and we feel completely comfortable that our fur baby is well taken care of. She sends lots of pictures while we are away too. A++”
“We had such a great experience with Brooke! We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. We would absolutely book with her again—highly recommend!”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Susan was wonderful to work with when trying to find a sitter for our dog. She was quick to respond and was so kind to our dog. I loved that she sent pictures while we were away. I highly recommend Susan. :)”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Anu and her family could not have been more amazing and helpful with my Husky! We had to travel last minute and Anu and her family were there for us last minute so I didn’t have to board our dog. We are so grateful for her great communication, lovely family, abundance of updates and photos, and the unmatchable peace of mind we had while away. Thank you Anu and your amazing family!”
“My dog Luna spent a week at Anna & George's home, which was her 1st time with a pet sitter. She did well, and I appreciated that Anna shared a couple photos during Luna's stay, which helped reassure me since it's a new relationship. Anna kept Luna's routine, including walks and some play time, and gave her lots of TLC.”
“Chelsea was wonderful helping me. It was my first time using rover.com. She kept in touch with us throughout our vacation. I really appreciated the pictures sent. I would recommend Chelsea and contact her again for future needs. Thanks!!”
About: Dogs have always been part of our family. Most recently, we shared 12 wonderful years with our yellow lab, JD. After an aggressive cancer diagnosis, we spent his final months providing senior care, treatments, extra comfort, and all the love he deserved. Saying goodbye was heartbreaking, but it reminded us just how much love we still have to give to dogs. We live on a fully fenced half-acre with plenty of room for sniffing, exploring, playing fetch, and zoomies. Inside, your dog will find comfortable places to relax, nap, and feel right at home. Daily walks, playtime, and plenty of attention are all part of the experience. What sets us apart is our lifelong experience as pet owners and our commitment to treating every dog like family. I also have experience as a professional dog groomer, which has given me additional knowledge of canine behavior, handling, grooming needs, and overall care. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, an active adult, or a senior who needs a slower pace and extra patience, we understand that every pet is unique. We know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving home away from home where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and loved. One of us is almost always home, allowing us to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. During the workweek, we work remotely and build regular potty breaks, play sessions, and walks into our routine (weather and temperatures permitting). Weekends offer even more opportunities for outdoor time in our fully fenced half-acre yard, where dogs can safely explore, sniff, play, and enjoy plenty of zoomies. When it's time to relax, your pup can curl up indoors on comfortable cushions and enjoy all the attention and affection they want. We believe dogs thrive when they're part of the family, so your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will receive the same care, comfort, and love we'd want for our own. Your dog's safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a quiet home with no children, no other pets, and very few visitors, creating a calm environment where dogs can relax and feel secure. Our fully fenced half-acre yard provides plenty of space for supervised outdoor play, exploration, and exercise. We avoid using pesticides and weed treatments to help maintain a pet-safe environment both inside and outside the home. We understand that every dog has different needs and routines. We have dog gates available to create comfortable spaces when needed, and a crate can be provided for dogs who are crate-trained or simply feel more secure having a space of their own. Whether your dog loves to play, lounge in the sun, or curl up for a nap indoors, we'll tailor their care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. When caring for pets, we follow their owners' routines and preferences as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. Our goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and love that we would want for our own dog.
“Did an amazing job taking care of my special needs Frenchie (blind). She kept me updated, sent pics and allowed my granddaughter to visit him while he was there. Definitely use again.”
“Caitlin & Samuel were amazing with our dog! They provided pictures every day and were very flexible when we had to adjust our drop off time. We will definitely be booking with them again.”
“We highly recommend Samantha. Her communication was incredible and her care for our pup exceeded our expectations: she treated our fur baby like her own. Her genuine, patient, and empathetic care brought us peace of mind while we were away. It was a great experience for our young pup too. There’s no question we’d use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone searching for pet care. There’s no better feeling than knowing your beloved fur baby is being loved and cared for by another loving family in your absence.”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, horses, ducks, and rabbits. I also had a great deal of time with other animals such as cows, and chickens at my Grandpa's dairy farm. One of my past jobs was being a dog sitter, to care for them, and do some training as well. I loved it! 🙂😁 I now have a German Shepard and Husky mix named Apollo, and I love teaching him new things, spending time with him, and of course taking care of him. 🥰❤️ I'm currently working as a house cleaner, and although I love the job, I would like to work some more hours. Sometimes clients cancel or reschedule cleanings resulting in less hours. I'm looking to do this hopefully full time, as I miss working with dogs. 🙂😁 I currently have a huge yard, but I can also give walks if suggested. I'm welcoming any animals except cats due to my boyfriend being allergic. I will do my very best to help any of your fur babies feel at home. 💌😁
“Daniel was fantastic! We choose him to dog sit out German shepherd for her first over night not at home. We did a meet and greet first and then she stayed over for the weekend. He made me feel very comfortable and even sent me some photos of my pup! Timber really seemed to enjoy her stay and the adventures (walks) they went on! We will definitely keep Daniel in mind when we need another dog sitter.”
“I highly recommend Nikki. She is easy to work with and truly loves dogs! She has a nice big fenced-in backyard where the dogs can run and play. Her dog Nelson is a sweetheart as well. Five Stars for Nikki!”
