Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ixonia
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ixonia
“Heather was the best ! Boarding Zoe with Heather & her family at their wonderful home was a perfect match for me (& Zoe!) Heather is very organized & prepared to deal with hosting a dog's individual behavior and adapting to their routine for the best results. Heather - having her own dog and another daycare dog to keep company & play with Zoe - was a perfect situation. She was very flexible with my drop-off & pick-up schedule which made all my travel arrangements "a breeze" with no worries. I couldn't be more pleased & recommend Heather without any hesitation. I hope my future travel plans will allow a repeat overnight for Zoe with Heather again !”
“Izzie had a great time! Scott & his family did a great job taking care of her!! I received multiple updates and pictures per day & they were also quick to respond to me. I always worry about leaving my girl with someone new but they did a great job with her. I will 100% be using them in the future”
“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!!”
“Ellen was a great host for our sheepdog! Communication was excellent from start to finish. She sent pictures and video so we knew that Lucy was enjoying her time. Big fenced in backyard was a bonus. Highly recommend.”
“Brooke was amazing! Super loving and kind to our pups. We booked her last minute and she was able to accommodate with open arms. She sent photos of her and her boyfriend playing with them and cuddling them. I highly recommend Brooke! She’s a gem ❤️”
“This is the second time Jenifer has kept my dog, Skeeter, and she has been amazing. She is communicative, responsible, and very loving and kind to my boy. I am so grateful for Jenifer’s help!”
“Why can’t I leave 10 stars? It’s not possible to say enough good about Ruby and her partner. They were so kind, attentive and patient. Not only with us, but with our spoiled girl too. I think Ruby could sense we were a little apprehensive about leaving Mercy with new people so she invited us out for a visit prior to the scheduled stay. Mercy loved it and we appreciated seeing how much thought was put into the spaces the dogs would be. They were also very accommodating with our requests. Mercy got her scoop of yogurt every morning and she never slept alone. :). Thank you so much Ruby for the Snapchat photos and videos. Seeing that Mercy was safe and having fun helped us enjoy our vacation. Our girl was a happy, exhausted pup at the end of her visit. Thank you!!! You guys are great and we’ll be back!”
“David was amazing and super flexible with pick up time because our flight got delayed. The dogs seemed to have a wonderful time running around at his place. They were relaxed when we brought them home and took long naps to recover from the fun they had.”
“Mikaela and Shane are AMAZING!!!! They took such great care of our Maisy while we were away for 5 nights!! Communication was great and prompt, our meet and greet went great and they knew we were a little nervous leaving our girl with a new family so they sent pictures and updates daily that really helped ease my worried mama mind. Maisy warmed up fast and we had no issues at all! Will definitely be using them again for our future dog sitting needs! Thanks so much Mikaela and Shane!!!”
About: I haven't been without a dog since age nine, when my parents gave us our first opportunity to develop a bond with a pet, Abby, our beloved English setter. She died the year I graduated from college, and since then I have had two of my own dogs: Gretta, a chocolate lab whom I owned from age 6 weeks until her death at age 13, and Lillie, a springer spaniel who was basically a life-long puppy exploding with energy and a fervor for running, jumping, and all things adventure-related. Sadly, Lillie died in June (at age 13), and we miss her so much. My husband and I like to travel, so I am not quite ready to adopt another dog yet, but in the meantime, I would love to pet-sit for other dogs so as to be around furry friends who bring so much joy to my life. I'm a teacher, so I'm mainly interested in walking and caring for pets on the weekends and during the summer months, but I can be available other times as well depending on my schedule. My job is to provide love, attention, and a safe and enriching learning environment to any pet in my care. I accommodate as needed depending on the needs of the individual animal.
“The best place for your dog ever!!!! Our dog was injured the day before we left tow and Maria dink blink an eye. Gave our dog love and lots of meds❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Anne is kind and caring. Our dog, Sheena, is hesitant with new people. Anne sat down on the floor to greet her and Sheena liked her right away. Anne is wonderful! We highly recommend her!”
“Anna and her family are always super accommodating. I don’t think I’ll use anyone else unless she is unavailable. They treated my dog like their own. I was a little worried he wouldn’t come home because they loved him so much. She even sent him home with treats. Anna is truly the best!”
“Gianina took really good care of our dog Mia during our week long vacation. Mia fit right in with her dogs golden retrievers and her 2 children loved her too. She kept us informed with daily postings of her which we looked forward too. Thank you for taking such good care of our dog. I would highly recommend her.”
“Cheryl and Josh did an outstanding job of taking care of my “fur baby”. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog was in good hands. Great communication and they sent lots of pictures. Would definitely book them again.”
“Alex took such great care of Banksy. She was able to accommodate a bit of a last minute booking after our other arrangements fell through. If we lived near Oconomowoc, Alex would be a repeat sitter for Banksy! He had a blast, and we received photos and updates throughout his stay!”
“This was the first time booking with Doreen. I assisted my elderly mom with the booking for her dog since my mom is unfamiliar with using apps on her phone. Doreen was extremely accommodating, communicative and flexible. Flossie is not often away from my mom, and I felt comfortable that Doreen was the right choice and that Flossie would be in kind and attentive care. Doreen sent a picture and comment via text each night which made my mom comfortable. Thank you, Doreen for working with us!”
“Would definitely recommend Amanda as a sitter! Easy communication, easy to book, I appreciated the couple check ins during my dog’s stay! My dog came back looking well taken care of, happy, and tired from her exercise! Will definitely be using Amanda again!”
“I was very happy with the care that Erin gave to Seneca. From the pictures and texts I received during my absence, it looked like my pup received a lot of attention. This was the first time I left my 7th-month-old pup with someone other than a family member and I was pleased with the care she was given. I would definitely use Erin's services again.”

“Brooke and Robbie took great care of my sweet prince, Cheddar! I last minute asked if they would be willing to have him all day vs just a drop in and they were so accommodating. They provided updates and lots of pictures. I know Cheddar had a blast and would give them a 5 start review :) 10/10 would book again!”
“Ramsey was AMAZING!! Truly amazing!! From the moment I met Ramsey, I knew she was the one! Unfortunately, her schedule did not align with my initial needs, thus I begrudgingly selected another sitter for this trip. When that sitter refused to show up at my home without additional money (as I was already flying to my international destination), and was caught being dishonest on multiple issues, I was left with no sitter for my 7 day trip. I immediately reached out to Ramsey and she didn’t hesitate to come to my rescue!! When I explained my predicament, Ramsey jumped right in and we worked out the details, accommodating both our needs. Ramsey was very communicative, send photos and videos, and raised an issue of some congestion to watch. She fed and watered Mina, cleaned her litter box, administered transdermal medication, and played with her. She kept her engaged, introducing her to a bird channel on YouTube as well. Ramsey also cleaned up some vomit from the carpet and dealt with an unfortunate toilet situation from another fill-in caregiver. But, the pièce de résistance was that she made her way to the house during the blizzard to be sure Mina had enough food and received her medication even though I told her that her personal safety was more important. Really, I can’t say enough about Ramsey. She truly goes above and beyond!”
“Brianna did a great job with drop in visits with our cat while we were out of town. We loved the photos she sent and I felt like she took her responsibility seriously.”
About: I’ve had cats in my life for over 20 years and truly believe they are family, not just pets. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Some are playful and affectionate, while others may be shy and need a little extra patience and time to feel comfortable. I have experience caring for senior cats, shy and nervous cats, cats with special dietary needs, and administering medications when needed. I’m comfortable following specific feeding instructions, medication schedules, and routines to make sure your cat receives the individualized care they’re accustomed to. I currently have a cat of my own, Cleo, who is full of energy and has a BIG personality! I’m also experienced with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, enrichment, and providing plenty of companionship and attention. When you’re away, my goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. I’ll treat your fur baby like one of my own and make sure you receive updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. 🐱❤️
“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!!”
“Katelyn did a wonderful job of taking care of our 2 fur babies and our home. She sent pics and videos to us on a daily basis and asked questions when she needed to. I would highly recommend her”
“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!”
“Deedee is wonderful! Our cat is usually very shy and hides but she came out and got her meds and treats. I had no worries with Deedee taking care of our girl and highly recommend her services!!!!”
“Cindy Is the ideal cat sitter. I wanted to not have to worry about Baby Bear having a clean litter box and eating his wet and dry food. Cindy was there for him and he’s happy! That’s what a great pet sitter does.”
About: I’m a disabled veteran & dogs have always been my peace so i decided to start incorporating more of them into my daily life & call it “work” 🥰 pet-loving is part of my every day life! i take my own pups for walks in the morning before the heat, and during the warmest days of winter. i love being outside, playing with animals & taking care of them! i will use the app, frequent communications in texting, etc. along with pictures and videos to send to all my pet parents! walking the pups at least a mile, if they can, or more if requested! i also walk all my clients separately from others, so no need to worry about differing personalities.
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.
“Tara was prompt, attentive, came out to meet us and our dogs prior to sitting with them while we were at work, and carefully completed all requested tasks. Our dogs absolutely loved her. She sent a LOT of photos, which was great. Would be comfortable working with Tara again.”
About: I have had cats my entire life and currently own 3 of my own. I understand how important it is to have clean bathroom areas for them, respecting their space when they need it, and giving treats to them. Each cat has their own unique personality you grow to love.
About: I’ve owned cats my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally for me. I currently own a cat of my own, finnigan, and he means the absolute world to me. Because I know how much pets are part of the family, I treat every cat with the same patience, attention, and care that I give my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playing and respecting each cats unique personality. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, and keep you updated with photos and messages so that you can have peace of mind.
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.

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.
About: Hello! My family and I love animals. We've been on Rover since January 2024! We currently have 2 indor cats and have backyard chickens (in coop) that are pets and lay eggs for us. We live in a quiet Hartland neighborhood in a cul-de-sac that is very low traffic. Part of our yard is fenced for play and potty breaks, and I love taking walks around our neighborhood. The majority of the week, my husband is working from home or I am home. The longest your pet may be left is 6 hours if staying with us during the work week. So usually someone is there to spend time with your pet! We are available any day of the week for boarding. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac. I always practice sit-stay when opening the door to prevent bolting out. Part of our yard is fenced and outside the fence your pet will always be leashed. If I am away for a short period and it's needed for safety or per your preference, we do have a large crate and an enclosed pet gate.
“Dave and Cait have been watching my pups now For well over a year and a half and it’s been a minute since I’ve given them a review. They are 5 star, all day, every day! My pups are loved, cared for, and happy when they are there, and tired when they come home and that makes dog momma heart happy!!! They are always accommodating when I have last minute schedule changes and also when I need to have them stay overnight!! I also get regular pictures and behaviour updates and those are so appreciated as well! If you live in Columbus or any small surrounding town, and you need your dog to learn to be social with other dogs or you just want them to have more play time, I highly recommend Dave!!! Rebecca”

“I, and my dog Lucy, were so pleased with the care provided by Maria and Nayibe. I love that they had mostly small dogs and a large yard they could run around it. Lucy ran and played and came home tired, she was fed during the day as asked and, once or twice, got her meds from them. Lucy loved her visits. I had to change providers as Lucy and I moved too far away. :(”
“We felt so comfortable leaving our puppy with Maura, she was in great hands and was showered with so much love the entire time she was there. We are so thankful we found her!”

About: We recently moved back to our roots to a spot right off South St. In Oconomowoc. We had our dog sitting business in San Diego, CA and will miss our furry friends so much! My husband and I both love animals very much and have the perfect set-up to host. We enjoy morning and evening cuddles and allow dogs on the couch and bed :) We will take care of your pup just the same as we care for our own. We have a 4 year old mutt that we adopted 3 years ago who has brought so much joy to our life! She loves to play and enjoys the dog park/hanging around other dogs as much as she can. She loves walks around the lake as I am sure your pup will too! We both have experience taking care of other dogs and have dog sit for many of our friends and family members for extended periods of time when they are out of town. We can provide pictures as little or as often as you would like. Excited to meet your furry friend soon! I currently work 4 days of the week and have every Thursday off. My husband works remotely from home so he is able to tend to your pups needs all day. This schedule works great for our pups that need frequent potty breaks and attention. We have long leashes attached to our back deck so the dogs can enjoy the sun and being outdoors as much or as little as they would like without having to worry about them wandering off! Moxie loves basking in the sun and shade out there as I am sure yours would too! Water bowls always provided and refreshed as needed.

“Heather was the best ! Boarding Zoe with Heather & her family at their wonderful home was a perfect match for me (& Zoe!) Heather is very organized & prepared to deal with hosting a dog's individual behavior and adapting to their routine for the best results. Heather - having her own dog and another daycare dog to keep company & play with Zoe - was a perfect situation. She was very flexible with my drop-off & pick-up schedule which made all my travel arrangements "a breeze" with no worries. I couldn't be more pleased & recommend Heather without any hesitation. I hope my future travel plans will allow a repeat overnight for Zoe with Heather again !”
“Izzie had a great time! Scott & his family did a great job taking care of her!! I received multiple updates and pictures per day & they were also quick to respond to me. I always worry about leaving my girl with someone new but they did a great job with her. I will 100% be using them in the future”
“Ellen was a great host for our sheepdog! Communication was excellent from start to finish. She sent pictures and video so we knew that Lucy was enjoying her time. Big fenced in backyard was a bonus. Highly recommend.”
“Brooke was amazing! Super loving and kind to our pups. We booked her last minute and she was able to accommodate with open arms. She sent photos of her and her boyfriend playing with them and cuddling them. I highly recommend Brooke! She’s a gem ❤️”
“This is the second time Jenifer has kept my dog, Skeeter, and she has been amazing. She is communicative, responsible, and very loving and kind to my boy. I am so grateful for Jenifer’s help!”
“Why can’t I leave 10 stars? It’s not possible to say enough good about Ruby and her partner. They were so kind, attentive and patient. Not only with us, but with our spoiled girl too. I think Ruby could sense we were a little apprehensive about leaving Mercy with new people so she invited us out for a visit prior to the scheduled stay. Mercy loved it and we appreciated seeing how much thought was put into the spaces the dogs would be. They were also very accommodating with our requests. Mercy got her scoop of yogurt every morning and she never slept alone. :). Thank you so much Ruby for the Snapchat photos and videos. Seeing that Mercy was safe and having fun helped us enjoy our vacation. Our girl was a happy, exhausted pup at the end of her visit. Thank you!!! You guys are great and we’ll be back!”
“David was amazing and super flexible with pick up time because our flight got delayed. The dogs seemed to have a wonderful time running around at his place. They were relaxed when we brought them home and took long naps to recover from the fun they had.”
“Mikaela and Shane are AMAZING!!!! They took such great care of our Maisy while we were away for 5 nights!! Communication was great and prompt, our meet and greet went great and they knew we were a little nervous leaving our girl with a new family so they sent pictures and updates daily that really helped ease my worried mama mind. Maisy warmed up fast and we had no issues at all! Will definitely be using them again for our future dog sitting needs! Thanks so much Mikaela and Shane!!!”
About: I haven't been without a dog since age nine, when my parents gave us our first opportunity to develop a bond with a pet, Abby, our beloved English setter. She died the year I graduated from college, and since then I have had two of my own dogs: Gretta, a chocolate lab whom I owned from age 6 weeks until her death at age 13, and Lillie, a springer spaniel who was basically a life-long puppy exploding with energy and a fervor for running, jumping, and all things adventure-related. Sadly, Lillie died in June (at age 13), and we miss her so much. My husband and I like to travel, so I am not quite ready to adopt another dog yet, but in the meantime, I would love to pet-sit for other dogs so as to be around furry friends who bring so much joy to my life. I'm a teacher, so I'm mainly interested in walking and caring for pets on the weekends and during the summer months, but I can be available other times as well depending on my schedule. My job is to provide love, attention, and a safe and enriching learning environment to any pet in my care. I accommodate as needed depending on the needs of the individual animal.
“Anna and her family are always super accommodating. I don’t think I’ll use anyone else unless she is unavailable. They treated my dog like their own. I was a little worried he wouldn’t come home because they loved him so much. She even sent him home with treats. Anna is truly the best!”
“Cheryl and Josh did an outstanding job of taking care of my “fur baby”. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog was in good hands. Great communication and they sent lots of pictures. Would definitely book them again.”
“Alex took such great care of Banksy. She was able to accommodate a bit of a last minute booking after our other arrangements fell through. If we lived near Oconomowoc, Alex would be a repeat sitter for Banksy! He had a blast, and we received photos and updates throughout his stay!”
“Would definitely recommend Amanda as a sitter! Easy communication, easy to book, I appreciated the couple check ins during my dog’s stay! My dog came back looking well taken care of, happy, and tired from her exercise! Will definitely be using Amanda again!”
“I was very happy with the care that Erin gave to Seneca. From the pictures and texts I received during my absence, it looked like my pup received a lot of attention. This was the first time I left my 7th-month-old pup with someone other than a family member and I was pleased with the care she was given. I would definitely use Erin's services again.”
“No one will give your doggy more attention than Micah! We received photos and videos and other updates of our pup having a great time in a wonderful, roomy setting with opportunities for nature strolls. Highly recommend!”
“Kylie was amazing with my puppy Goose. She sent lots of photos and kept me updated. She also taught him a couple tricks and continued with his crate training. Appreciate how well she took care of my pup. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“This is the 2nd time we have taken Ruby to Adam. She is always happy & excited to see him when we drop her off & happy when we pick her up! The first time Adam sent quite a few pics of her and she was having a great time!! He also does not have a ton of other animals, so this ia nice as well. We will be using Adam as our primary sitter going forward!”
“Joanne was absolutely wonderful with our dog, she was very responsive to our request, accommodating to our time windows, and kept in communication with us the entire time we were gone. She was so loving and welcoming to our dog that he didn’t even want to come home! Highly recommended!”
“Christiana and her family took excellent care of Nola while we were away. She sent daily pics & updates which made us feel at ease that Nola was being well taken care of and enjoying her stay. We will definitely have Nola stay again! ❤️”
