“We felt very comfortable leaving our dog Otis with Judy. The house was set up well for dogs. Judy was very sweet with her update pictures of Otis. We would definitely recommend her for your pet.”
“Cathy was very easy to work with from beginning to end! Our little 8 month old Lemmy had a blast with her and her daughters! He was in great hands. Would highly recommend her. We will definitely use her services again in the future!”
“Emily and her dog Curry are both super sweet! Emily stayed in contact with us to calm our anxiety over our Zoe’s first stay with her. We were super impressed that Curry was so kind and gentle with little Zoe as well. Look forward to our next visit!”
“Laura is the definition of a perfect rover. I left my golden retriever mix with her for 2 weeks this summer and she took such unbelievable care of our Miso. She welcomed her into her family and home. She was reliable, provided cute photos, brought her to a lake on a family trip and even dropped her off at the end. She was perfect and I can’t wait to use her again. For my first rover experience, this was a dream come true. Thank you Laura and fam!!”
“Frankie took great care of my dogs Remy and Izzy. This was their first time being cared for by someone new and I felt she was patient and caring for their needs and anxiety. I would rebook again!”
“Julie took the BEST care of our little guy on our first trip away from him since we got him. She took many pictures and shared them with us and just treated him like one of her own pets. We appreciated seeing how much love he received while we were gone!”
“Had consistent updates and felt very comfortable leaving Furb with Hannah & Braxton B while we were on vacation. Furb said it went super well and already misses his new friends.”
“Annie did a wonderful job taking care of our fur boy while we were out of town. She sent updates and photos that truly eased any anxiety we had. If you are looking for someone who is caring and loving to take care of your pet, Annie is the perfect choice!”
About: I have been a foster parent for the Humane Society for the last 3 years. I have had dogs and cats all of my life and regularly watch pets for my family and friends. I had a calm and friendly dog named Ketchup that we had for 12 years. I also have a cat named Binx that I adopted last year from the Humane Society. Animals will stay inside the home in a calm and safe environment. They will get dedicated time and attention while they are boarded here. Animals will have playtime and dogs will go for walks. I will send pictures to their parents while they are away. I work from home so I am always available to keep your pet company while you are gone. This also allows me the time needed to check on your pet and provide bathroom breaks as needed. I can take dogs for daily walks and they will have plenty of playtime. I have a dog and cat to keep your pet company while you are away.
“Boarding experience review) This is our first dog, and our first time using Rover, and Salena helped put ease to our mind! She sent pictures of our puppy and was really flexible to work with. Bale slept so good when he came home, and he looked like he had the best time! We will definitely be using her again! I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Scott was great!! He was very accommodating with all of Sadie’s needs and our concerns. He mentioned a few activities that he would do and showed us where Sadie would go out and play. The area was fenced in and very secure. He has two dogs of his own and they were very friendly and Sadie got along great with them.We felt very comfortable after dropping Sadie with Scott. We highly recommend him, and would certainly use his services anytime.”
“Luana was accommodating, easy to work with and clearly a devoted animal lover. She took great care of our little dog and was especially mindful to make sure he was safe, because he’s a quick, little escape artist. We appreciate her care and will be back when we’re in Wisconsin.”
“Jesus and his family took great care of our 2 French bulldogs. They sent pictures, took the dogs on walks, and made sure our dogs were comfortable. Great communication throughout. Highly recommend!!”
“I was very impressed with Lisa. This was the first time boarding my dog anywhere. Lisa was very professional from the meet and greet to when my dog stayed at her house. Unfortunately I had to cut my vacation short but Lisa was very accommodating when I picked up my dog early. The best thing of all was that my dog Marnie loved her right from the start. She is a Miniature Pinscher and quite timid to most people she meets. I highly recommend Lisa and I will definitely take Marnie to Lisa's home again.”
“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.”
“This was our dogs second stay with Erika and we will be back again. Flexible pick up and drop off. Clean kennels and she sends video check ins of the dogs. Highly recommend.”
“Eric was absolutely fantastic with my Bernese Mountain Dog, Emmett. He’s a big boy, he was recovering from some surgery, and he is a picky eater so I had a long list of instructions! She nailed it and he absolutely loved her! She sent me updates daily and he looked so happy and taken care of in each picture. I will absolutely have Erica watch Emmett again!”
“Danielle took VERY good care of Mickey while I was on vacation!! She is a very caring person and texted me when she was concerned when he was not eating. I would highly recommend her.”

“Audrey was absolutely fantastic! I knew my cat, Snow, would be in great hands. She sent the updates and photos every day, which completely put my mind at ease while traveling. My house was exactly as I left it, and Snow was happy and relaxed when I returned. I will definitely book Audrey again!" Highly recommend to anyone looking for a loving and attentive cat sitter!"”
“Absolutely fabulous sitter! Genuinely loves and cares for our furbabies as if they were her own. Ours are super skittish kitties, and she was so patient with them, gently trying to coax them out. Came home and they were all so happy and healthy!”
“Great job by Judy! She came each day to give some TLC to our 3 cats, and they were happy & healthy on our return! We received tons of photos and it comforted us to see that our babies were enjoying the food, clean boxes, and attention. Thank you, Judy & Minlola!”
“Emma was wonderful. Mikey was happy to see her and she took excellent care of him. He was happy and health when I returned. I greatly appreciated her attention to and care of Mikey. I will certainly hire her again.”

“Jessica was great! I am a self proclaimed over worrier and I felt very comfortable leaving my cats with Jessica. She was communicative and flexible to my requests which I really appreciated. We could tell from the pictures that our kitties felt comfortable being themselves and weren’t too stressed by our absence. We would definitely recommend her and will book her again for future services if she’s available.”
“My Ezzie loves people but tends to be shy at first. Lisa got her to come out, eat treats and get pets!! That says amazing things about Lisa. We kept in communication with pictures and texts. I never felt nervous. I would recommend Lisa to anyone that asks and will be using her in the future!!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels — from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or administering medications, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I understand how important routine, patience, and positive attention are to your pet’s well-being. I’ve also worked with shy or reactive dogs, and I’m comfortable following any special instructions to make sure your pup feels safe and loved while you’re away. My schedule is currently wide open, so I’m flexible and ready to accommodate your dog’s needs — whether it’s daily walks, last-minute bookings, or ongoing care. I’m available weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Let’s find a time that works best for you and your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always keep dogs on-leash during walks (unless in a secure, off-leash area with your permission), avoid unsafe routes, and stay alert to other animals or hazards. I closely follow your instructions and routines to keep your pet feeling secure and cared for.
“When we had to be out of town all day, Alyssa was a godsend. She came over a couple times to let him out and play, and sent us the cutest photos of him having fun. We will definitely rebook with Allissa again!”
About: I love all animals. I have taken care of my family, friends, and my own pets for years. I am a huge believer in play and fun. I assist pets with a more active lifestyle with love. I am reliable and will treat your pet as my own. I too have been on extended trips and felt the worry associated with being gone. I understand how to calm pets and make the experience positive for all involved. I am an effective communicator and will give updates for piece of mind. I have had behavioral training. I hope to be your regular and become a true friend/ helper for your pet reducing all anxiety and offering a wonderful experience for your beloved pet. Good care and vibes only.
About: I provide calm, reliable care for cats, especially those who are shy, independent, or sensitive to change. I take a low-pressure approach and let each cat set the pace for interaction. I’m attentive to routines, appetite, litter box habits, and subtle behavior changes, and I understand that many cats prefer consistency over attention from new people. My goal is to keep your cat comfortable and stress free while you’re away, whether that means quiet companionship or simply maintaining their normal routine. I have a healthcare background, so I'm attentive to subtle changes in behavior or routine.

“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.”
“Bandit absolutely loved going to Judy’s house! He had so much fun and was so snoozy after! She gave lots of updates and I loved that she took lots of pictures! Thank you! Will be using her again!”
About: We recently lost our senior dog, so we have lots of doggy love available for your pet! I work from home, so your pet will get lots of attention, frequent visits to the backyard, and a walk at lunchtime. I work from home full time, so I'm here to interact with your pet and provide frequent breaks for play and potty. My boyfriend gets home from work in the late afternoon and will shower your pet with affection as well! I have a small, unfenced yard and will let your dog outside on a long lead to keep him/her safe and under my supervision. Your dog will have access to kitchen, living/dining room, bathroom, and up to 3 bedrooms. Basement will not be accessible.
“You have a great place for a pup to hang out! Thank you for taking care of Duke, he must have had a great time because he’s all tuckered out! We hope you’re available next time we are in the area. Take care, and thanks!”
About: Since I was little I have always loved animals, I feel that I have a unique connection with them. From 10 years old. In Ecuador, I was taking care of dogs. The neighbors have trusted me for the attention I gave their pets, for playing with them, etc. But since I arrived in the United States I have not been able to continue with that hobby. I took care of the dogs of the owner of the house where he lived for 6 years, giving him all the love, patience and daily attention he needed. I don't have much real experience with food, walking and bathing. I am reliable, friendly and treat everyone like a family. I am available from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday mornings until 10 a.m. and in the afternoon from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays only in the mornings until 11 p.m. My first language is Spanish but I don't speak English very well or fluently, I know basic things but I understand most of them. I give food and water on time. I walk them, play a little and keep everything clean. I tell the owner how it goes with photos.
“Erica was a god-send when we couldn’t take our dog with us to an event out of town. Her profile told me she’d be great and I was so grateful she was available. It was only for 5 hours but she managed to get our sometimes finicky and whiny dog to settle and eat her food when given! I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I have worked with numerous animals since I was 5 years old. I have owned chickens, rabbits, horses, dogs, and cats my entire life. I am a 4-H leader where I teach children how to train dogs and I help them show and prepare their animals at fair. I also show my own animals at the fair. Additionally, I have pet sat for numerous family members over the years as well as friends. I will always be there for your pet and I will make sure they are well taken care of and loved just like they are my own. I am a teacher who is currently on summer break. So my schedule is pretty open during the summer and I have a lot of availability. During the school year, most of my weekends are free as well as when we have breaks. I am flexible and willing to make things work for you! I live on a little hobby farm with my husband. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats who are very friendly. I have everything needed in my home to take care of a dog including a kennel if needed as well as tie outs. We have a lake that is 5 minutes from our house and if your dog loves to swim, I would be happy to take them. I take my dogs all over in the summer and I would make sure your pet gets a lot of attention and exercise as well. Additionally, we have a huge barn and fenced in pasture as well as rabbit hutches in the barn and a chicken coop! Whatever animal you have they can be comfortable at my property. Additionally, if you feel better about your animal staying at home, I am happy to accommodate to that as well.
“My dogs had a blast here. My husky usually cries when he is put in the kennel but once I got home and put him in there he fell right asleep. My golden also knocked out in the car and now in the living room. She updated me and was very kind overall. Would definitely book again! Thank you for taking care of my 2 crazy puppies.”
About: I love animals, and I care deeply for them. Their company never bothers or annoys me. It makes me happy to take care of them. 😊 I've been taking care of animals since I was little, and I've had a variety of them. I'll never judge an animal or get angry with one; they are pure and true. I've owned and looked after hamsters, lizards, birds, dogs, and cats of different shapes, sizes, and ages throughout my whole life, providing the necessities they need. I'm currently free all the time, so I can always be there. I can be ready anytime during the day and for a decent amount of hours. As a pet sitter, I prioritize providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for furry friends like yours, either in my home or outside and/or your home.

“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.”
About: I love taking care of dogs. I will walk your dog in the Spring, Summer and Fall in good weather. Your dog will have my 3 year old Maltese to play with. I’m CPR trained and if needed, with calling you first, take your dog to my home town ER hospital (hope we never need to use that). Your dog must be potty trained for outside. My grandchildren all love dogs, they visit sometimes. I have been with dogs all my life. So rest assured I’ll take care of your dog while I take care of mine and my grandchildren. I will have play time and potty breaks. Will try to teach your dog new tricks. I’ve taken training classes with Pet Smart. You won’t regret placing your pet with me.
“Emily communicated great before and during our dog’s puppy daycare with her. Her and her husband were both super friendly and listened to our comments regarding our puppy. Our dog got along great with their dog, Ruby. This was a really great experience and I’d highly recommend Emily to anyone.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 8. I pay attention to all the pets that I care for. I also am very good at attending to dogs with anything they need. I am looking to do this full time and I am flexible with anyone’s schedule. I am home most of the time except to run errands. I have a big house and big yard that is fenced in. I live 5 minutes away from a big dog park. I also live with my mom and two of my siblings. There are four medium sized dogs that live in this house and enjoy playing with most other dogs.

“Judy has always been reliable and available to my schedule changes. My dog always gets a good walk in while I am gone during the day. Hopefully will be able to do a boarding later this summer! Have recommended her on the Rover app to others looking for dog walkers. Look forward to continuing with Judy into the future 😊”
“Travis did a very good job walking my dog Mikah while I was away. He is very friendly and my dog warmed up to him instantly. He was very persistent with the report cards and sending photos. Definitely would work with him again and recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Taylor, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. I work full-time with a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility at the end of the week and lets me spend quality time with the pets I’m caring for. I have two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feline care, routines, and different cat personalities. I also have experience fostering kittens and caring for multiple pets at once. I grew up with two Goldendoodles and a Miniature Pinscher-Poodle mix, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’m moving to Sheboygan Falls 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 a hybrid in-office schedule, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week. I’m available for dog sitting from Thursday through Sunday, as well as lunchtime drop-in visits on weekdays.

About: Premium Pet & Flock Care Tailored for Every Life Stage As a trusted and experienced pet care provider, I specialize in personalized sitting services for large-breed pups, cats, and their smaller furry friends — with added expertise in puppy training, compassionate senior pet care, and even backyard flock care for chickens. Your pets are unique, and so is my approach: I take time to understand each animal’s personality, routine, and special needs to ensure they feel secure, loved, and engaged while you’re away. From teaching puppies good manners and basic obedience, to gently caring for older pets who need extra patience and attention, to providing thoughtful care for your feline family members — I deliver professional, reliable care that goes far beyond feeding and walking. And for families with backyard chickens, I bring years of hands-on experience as a seasoned chicken owner. I can provide attentive care for your flock — ensuring they’re fed, their coop is secure, and they stay safe and healthy until you’re home again. 🐾 Puppy Training: I help reinforce basic commands, house-training routines, and leash manners, giving your young pup the best start in life. 🐱 Cat Care: I provide gentle, attentive care for cats of all temperaments, making sure they receive the affection, play, and routine they need to feel safe and content. 🐾 Senior Pet Expertise: I understand the special needs of aging pets — from administering medication and assisting with mobility to creating a calm, stress-free environment for rest and comfort. 🐓 Flock Care: As an experienced chicken owner, I know how to care for backyard hens and ensure they’re well-tended and secure in your absence. 🐾 More Than a Sitter — A True Companion: My services are designed to give you peace of mind and your pets (and chickens!) a trusted friend they can rely on. You’ll return to a happy, healthy, and well-cared-for family every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide loving, attentive care around the clock. My flexible schedule means I can easily adapt to each pet’s unique needs — whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or administering medication. Because I’m home throughout the day and night, pets in my care enjoy consistent companionship, plenty of interaction, and a stable, comforting environment that feels like home. I’m able to maintain their familiar routines and give them the one-on-one attention they deserve, so they’re never lonely or stressed while you’re away. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine — it’s at the heart of my everyday life. I care for pets in my home by providing round-the-clock attention in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they feel like part of the family. Pets enjoy plenty of playtime, outdoor exercise (especially for large-breed dogs), and cozy resting spots. I maintain their regular feeding and potty schedules and offer lots of love, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day and night. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I tailor each visit to their pet’s routine and comfort level. This can include daily walks, fresh food and water, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration if needed, and overnight stays for pets who do best in their familiar surroundings. I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and relaxed — and I keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every animal with the same care and devotion I give my own — because they deserve nothing less.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I currently have four dogs and have helped care for many others through family and friends. I also grew up with cats, so I'm comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. Beyond caring for animals, I'm a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), where I provide compassionate, dependable care to people every day. Being a CNA has strengthened my patience, attention to detail, and ability to stay calm and responsible in any situation which are qualities I bring to every pet I care for. I'm heading to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities this fall, and pet sitting is the perfect way for me to cover some schooling dues and spend time doing something I genuinely love. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm and caring companion, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I currently work part time as a CNA working second shift. So, I am always available until 2pm. But, catch me on a day I don’t work at the healthcare facility, and I’ll be free all day! Sometimes weekends can be hard, however I always find ways to make everything work out. As I live under my parents households still, I have two homes. One house has a large fenced in yard, with two friendly dogs that live there. The other home, has a large open field in the back, which unless the animal is off the leash trained, we have long leads for them to run free (ish). This home also has two even more friendly dogs who would love the company. Both of these homes are located in nice neighborhoods in the town of Plymouth.
About: I worked with dogs for 16 hours a week every week for a few years and have one of my own at home. I have dog sat for family friends and take their dogs on walks as well! I just love spending time with dogs. I also have an associates degree in veterinary technology. I am working part time as a veterinary technician and would be walking and doing drop in visits around my current schedule as well as in house boarding while attending work part time. I will make sure that you pet feels comfortable with me and I will get to know their behavior so that I can get closer to them and take very good care of them according to your usual routine with them and their needs that they bark/meow to me. If any emergency were to ever occur I would use all of my knowledge and resources to help your pet as well as taking them to the vet!
About: I have high availability and recommended all the time by word of mouth. Pets aren’t just pets. I treat my clients’ pets as if I’m caring for a family member. I don’t currently have a full time job so this will give me more flexibility in my schedule. I also don’t have my own pets, which means I have more time to care for other pets. When petsitting in the pet’s home, I make sure to ask lots of questions about the pet’s habits, food schedule, normal potty schedule, and home security questions. I want to make sure the pet is comfortable and the care is seamless for the pet and owner.
“We are fortunate to have Annie on an on-going basis to visit our dog Molly for potty breaks and walks while we are at work. Annie always responds promptly to any communication, questions or booking inquiries. When she visits Molly she leaves a detailed log about the visit. It's obvious that Annie loves pets and she goes above and beyond to give Molly love, affection, attention, exercise and an outdoor break each visit. When Annie is scheduled to visit, we know Molly will receive great care and a needed break and that gives us tremendous peace of mind. We love Annie!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who has cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs and birds. I’m very comfortable caring for animals both young and old. I have experience with senior dogs that require daily care (medications/baths/eye and ear cleaning) as well as animals still in training. Whether your pet needs high-energy fun or gentle companionship, I’ll treat them like a member of my family. If boarding at your home I’m also willing to help with gathering mail, watering plants and other small household needs. I’m currently not working many hours at my job and thought this would be a great way to spend my extra time since I love animals. I am responsible for normal activities such as feeding my dog twice a day, and letting her out. I take time daily to play with my dog and enjoy giving her treats. I also find time to wash her, clip her nails, clean her face, etc.
About: Let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, or behaviors that I can account for or help with. I would love to help. If you have plants that need watering, mail, or packages that need to be brought in, I can help with that too! I'm retired and love traveling around Wisconsin and the world. Slow traveling is my favorite. I can explore new neighborhoods, cities, and local attractions without being rushed. I will follow your directions for your house and loved ones. Let me know the extra duties like watering, mail, or garbage routine. The house is left cleaner than I found it.

“We felt very comfortable leaving our dog Otis with Judy. The house was set up well for dogs. Judy was very sweet with her update pictures of Otis. We would definitely recommend her for your pet.”
“Emily and her dog Curry are both super sweet! Emily stayed in contact with us to calm our anxiety over our Zoe’s first stay with her. We were super impressed that Curry was so kind and gentle with little Zoe as well. Look forward to our next visit!”
“Laura is the definition of a perfect rover. I left my golden retriever mix with her for 2 weeks this summer and she took such unbelievable care of our Miso. She welcomed her into her family and home. She was reliable, provided cute photos, brought her to a lake on a family trip and even dropped her off at the end. She was perfect and I can’t wait to use her again. For my first rover experience, this was a dream come true. Thank you Laura and fam!!”
“Frankie took great care of my dogs Remy and Izzy. This was their first time being cared for by someone new and I felt she was patient and caring for their needs and anxiety. I would rebook again!”
“Julie took the BEST care of our little guy on our first trip away from him since we got him. She took many pictures and shared them with us and just treated him like one of her own pets. We appreciated seeing how much love he received while we were gone!”
“Had consistent updates and felt very comfortable leaving Furb with Hannah & Braxton B while we were on vacation. Furb said it went super well and already misses his new friends.”

“Boarding experience review) This is our first dog, and our first time using Rover, and Salena helped put ease to our mind! She sent pictures of our puppy and was really flexible to work with. Bale slept so good when he came home, and he looked like he had the best time! We will definitely be using her again! I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Scott was great!! He was very accommodating with all of Sadie’s needs and our concerns. He mentioned a few activities that he would do and showed us where Sadie would go out and play. The area was fenced in and very secure. He has two dogs of his own and they were very friendly and Sadie got along great with them.We felt very comfortable after dropping Sadie with Scott. We highly recommend him, and would certainly use his services anytime.”
“Jesus and his family took great care of our 2 French bulldogs. They sent pictures, took the dogs on walks, and made sure our dogs were comfortable. Great communication throughout. Highly recommend!!”
“I was very impressed with Lisa. This was the first time boarding my dog anywhere. Lisa was very professional from the meet and greet to when my dog stayed at her house. Unfortunately I had to cut my vacation short but Lisa was very accommodating when I picked up my dog early. The best thing of all was that my dog Marnie loved her right from the start. She is a Miniature Pinscher and quite timid to most people she meets. I highly recommend Lisa and I will definitely take Marnie to Lisa's home again.”
“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.”
“This was our dogs second stay with Erika and we will be back again. Flexible pick up and drop off. Clean kennels and she sends video check ins of the dogs. Highly recommend.”
“Eric was absolutely fantastic with my Bernese Mountain Dog, Emmett. He’s a big boy, he was recovering from some surgery, and he is a picky eater so I had a long list of instructions! She nailed it and he absolutely loved her! She sent me updates daily and he looked so happy and taken care of in each picture. I will absolutely have Erica watch Emmett again!”
“Danielle took VERY good care of Mickey while I was on vacation!! She is a very caring person and texted me when she was concerned when he was not eating. I would highly recommend her.”
About: Since I was little I have always loved animals, I feel that I have a unique connection with them. From 10 years old. In Ecuador, I was taking care of dogs. The neighbors have trusted me for the attention I gave their pets, for playing with them, etc. But since I arrived in the United States I have not been able to continue with that hobby. I took care of the dogs of the owner of the house where he lived for 6 years, giving him all the love, patience and daily attention he needed. I don't have much real experience with food, walking and bathing. I am reliable, friendly and treat everyone like a family. I am available from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday mornings until 10 a.m. and in the afternoon from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays only in the mornings until 11 p.m. My first language is Spanish but I don't speak English very well or fluently, I know basic things but I understand most of them. I give food and water on time. I walk them, play a little and keep everything clean. I tell the owner how it goes with photos.
About: I have worked with numerous animals since I was 5 years old. I have owned chickens, rabbits, horses, dogs, and cats my entire life. I am a 4-H leader where I teach children how to train dogs and I help them show and prepare their animals at fair. I also show my own animals at the fair. Additionally, I have pet sat for numerous family members over the years as well as friends. I will always be there for your pet and I will make sure they are well taken care of and loved just like they are my own. I am a teacher who is currently on summer break. So my schedule is pretty open during the summer and I have a lot of availability. During the school year, most of my weekends are free as well as when we have breaks. I am flexible and willing to make things work for you! I live on a little hobby farm with my husband. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats who are very friendly. I have everything needed in my home to take care of a dog including a kennel if needed as well as tie outs. We have a lake that is 5 minutes from our house and if your dog loves to swim, I would be happy to take them. I take my dogs all over in the summer and I would make sure your pet gets a lot of attention and exercise as well. Additionally, we have a huge barn and fenced in pasture as well as rabbit hutches in the barn and a chicken coop! Whatever animal you have they can be comfortable at my property. Additionally, if you feel better about your animal staying at home, I am happy to accommodate to that as well.
“Lisa did such a great job with our baby Nilah! We have been working really hard with training but a high energy golden can be really challenging. We appreciate Lisa’s patience with Nilah. She also had other dogs to play with throughout the week. Lisa has an extremely friendly family too so we knew our pup was in the best hands.”
