“Once again Katie and DJ have taken excellent care of my special needs pup. He is so happy to go to their house, he doesn’t even care that I am leaving. LOL 😂 seriously amazing family that love the animals they care for.”
“Jamie and her family took such good care of Rusty! It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family and they updated us with pictures and messages throughout our vacation. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!”
“Brooke and Robbie were fantastic with my pugs! They are so kind and sent lots of pics/videos during their stay. Brooke and Robbie administered their meds, took lots of walks, and gave my pugs all the snuggles! They truly love caring for pups, and I would definitely have my pugs stay with them again!”
“Jennifer was fantastic. Onyx seemed like he had a good time and I knew he was well taken care of. She sent pictures and let me know how he was doing throughout the Stay. Would highly recommend.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog Tucker with anyone besides family when we went on vacation & we couldn’t have picked anyone better! We received so many nice pictures, videos & messages about all the fun Tucker was having & really put us at ease about going away for a week. Thank you so much Mary & Brian for treating Tucker just like one of your own doggies. We appreciate everything you did!”
“We are so very grateful for Marie. She welcomed our doggy into her house with all the love and attention we could hope for. We were blessed with photos while we were traveling which gave us comfort and made us smile. Our dog came back to us, happy, healthy, clean, and comfortable, which was perfect. Thank you again, Marie.”
“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!”
“Our one year old german shepherd mix absolutely LOVED Ruby Paws! Ruby truly treats each pup as if it was her own. Her experience handling animals kept my mind at ease. Drop off and pick up went so smooth. My dog literally slept the remainder of the day upon pickup so I know she had fun :) BONUS - She sends daily snap chats of what your pup and her crew does throughout the day! Pricing is comparable to others in the area. Ruby also hosts other services (bathing, nail trimming, haircuts, etc.) with a salon on sight. I will definitely be rebooking with Ruby Paws!”
“Scott, Ashley and family take such good care of our 92 lb. Weimaraner, Hank. He has a lot of energy and always does well when with the family. He gets at least 2 walks a day in addition to play time in their large fenced in yard. Hank recently stayed with the family for 25 days which is the longest we’ve left him with any sitter. Everything went very well. Scott is great about sending pictures and updates daily.”
About: I have always had a dog growing up, so I learned from a very young age how to care for a pet. Friends and family have trusted me to take care of their dogs since I was around 12 years old. This includes stopping in the house to take them to the bathroom and feeding them, as well as giving medication if needed. Lots of snuggles and playtime too of course! I have taken care of dogs in the client's home for up to a week and cared for them at my home as well. No need to worry about any complex feeding schedules. I can manage it all. I am very comfortable with any age, breed, and sized dog! I have a one-year-old pup, so I am very familiar with training and puppy classes. I have volunteered at the humane society and when I was in high school, I job shadowed at a veterinary clinic. I currently work as a substitute teacher so my schedule is extremely flexible! During the summer months I am completely open. Weekdays and weekends any time of day. I make my own schedule so there will be no conflicts. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for some off leash playtime! My dog loves to run around playing fetch with a ball or stick. I have a walking path across the street from my home and am walking distance to nature hill for some extra exercise. I always have water, waste bags and small treats with me when going on walks. (My dogs personal favorites are cheerios). I am comfortable walking with any leash, collar or harness. I have two kennels in my living room if your dog needs to be crated. At least one crate is big enough to fit a large or XL dog. I have a baby gate in front of my stairs, and the basement door is always shut. I personally love going to the pet store or drive thru to get my pet a pup cup! I would be more than happy to take your dog for an adventure and for some extra love and enrichment!
“Ellen did a wonderful job caring for our dog. She provided updates and pictures throughout the stay, and was extremely prompt and responsive. Our dog had a blast playing with her dogs, and enjoyed her large fenced in yard—I think it was hard to leave his new friends to come home!”
“Cheryl was great with our dog Ellie and our cats! You could tell she really cared about our animals and took the stress of leaving them alone off of our plates. We will book with her again!”
“Great communication from initial contact until pick up. Appreciated the daily updates and pictures. Biscuit had a great "staycation" over the weekend. We will use Anna for our dog sitting needs again.”
“Kortney was outstanding with our Belgian Malinois and our Border Collie! The dogs felt right at home, and she made sure we were comfortable as well! Highly recommend!”
“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!!”
“Gianina was a great host to Kona! She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend! She had a great yard for him to explore, and she took him on nice walks. We will definitely book with her again if we travel!”
“Dana is wonderful! She takes good care of Hunter and sends pictures/ videos often. We really appreciate all the attention she gives him, and she is also super flexible. Thanks again, Dana! We appreciate you!😊”

“Brianna was amazing!! My cat was not being a good cat and Brianna stuck through it, modified how she interacted with him, and kept me involved the entire time. She is professional and positive in interactions.”
“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!”
“We had such a great experience with Aubrey! Before we ever left, she took the time to come over and meet our cats, which meant so much to us. She asked thoughtful questions, paid attention to their personalities, and made sure she understood their routines and preferences. It immediately put us at ease knowing she cared enough to build that connection ahead of time. Our cats were comfortable and well cared for, and it was clear they recognized her when she came back. We truly appreciated the extra effort and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate cat sitter.”
“It was so nice to have Bella cat/house sit for us on our recent trip. So comforting to know our cats had a person to spend time with in the evenings and give them lots of attention. She also left our place super clean! Would definitely ask back. Thanks Bella!”
About: I grew up with three cats and have always been very comfortable caring for them and understanding their different personalities and needs. I have experience feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playing with cats, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also regularly stay at three different families’ houses when they go out of town to care for their pets, and I help my grandma with her Rover pets as well. In addition to my experience with cats, I have two dogs of my own and helped train my puppy, so I am very patient, responsible, and experienced around animals of all kinds.
“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”
“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!”

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.
“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.”
“Our cats were so happy when we returned from our trip! Thank you so much Shannon for your sweetness, professionalism, and fantastic care for our two kitties. They were still looking for you when we got home, to play!”
About: I'm very dependable and energetic. I have lots of experience and am very responsible. I take good care of things not just the pets. I'm a good communicator.

“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!!!!”
About: I've taken care of cats since I was 14 when I volunteered to be a Cat Cuddler at HAWS in Waukesha. The job has a wide range of care including but not limited to: cleaning kennels, litterboxes, and toys. To loving and preparing cats for forever homes.
About: Cats have always been a big part of my life, and I have the most experience caring for them. I have owned and cared for cats for as long as I can remember and truly understand their unique personalities and needs. In addition to caring for my own cats, I have fostered cats and helped raise kittens, giving me experience with young cats that require extra attention and care. I am also comfortable caring for senior cats and understand the patience and gentleness they may need as they age. I am experienced with administering medications and even giving veterinary-required shots at home when needed. Whether your cat needs playtime, quiet companionship, medication, or specialized care, I am attentive, patient, and committed to making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you are away.
“We enjoyed Anna sitting for cats and house again. Her obvious love of animals, diligent caretaking, attention to detail, and solid communication put our minds at ease while traveling. Looking forward to her next stay!”

About: I love animals and would love to give you the peace of mind while you are gone. My husband and I understand the importance of finding the right Rover sitter. We both grew up with large breed dogs but I have also had toy breeds. I currently am a stay at home mom and will rarely need to be gone from home for very long. Your pet is my priority while they are in my care and I look forward to spending time with them. The way that I would care for your pets is how I would my pets. They could possibly get better treatment than mine at home… but don’t tell my dog that!
“We had a last minute booking that they were able to accommodate. Great communication before and during stay. We loved getting pics and video, too! Boone well loved and comfortable during his stay. Came home a very happy guy.”

“Our girl loves visiting Ruby! She comes home and sleeps the rest of the day after running on the farm. Ruby does a great job exercising all of the dogs that are visiting. My husband and I have sporadic work schedules and Ruby is extremely flexible. We have used her a couple of times, she’s our go to now when needed. I love that she sends messages/snaps of Mochi having the time of her life! Thank you <3”
“I dropped off Moose (5 yr border collie mix) for the first time for daycare and to my surprise, he had separation anxiety issues (sitting by the door, whining). Madison was so kind and patient. I received texts updating me how he was doing. Eventually...success! I got a picture of Moose laying next to Madison on the couch looking calm and content. This was a good experience all around. Thank you!”
“Kristin took great care of Ace the 2 days he stayed there. She tries to make him comfortable even though he was suffering from separation anxiety. She sent photos both days. Thank you.”
“Molly takes the best care of my pup! She provides updates and gives him so much attention, he always comes home exhausted! She is excellent and I highly recommend for anyone needing boarding or daycare!”
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.
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with our little sweet pup. He had a walk, breaks, fun with his ball. Heather was extremely accommodating and flexible. Once you meet her, she outs you at immediate ease. Will happily use her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I love to walk and play with them and also have snuggle time if they like that. My schedule is flexible to accommodate their needs! I have not done injections but am willing to do if trained I’m retired so I have plenty of time to care for your pet in my home or come to your home for check-ins and walks. I have a fenced yard and am close to a local state park for long walks. I also live in a very walkable subdivision. I don’t mind a well behaved pet on furniture.

Im also a certified Canine Good Citizen Evaluater. Im a dog trainer with pets of my own. Both my training and boarding pups live life with me and my babes and are cared for just the same. I have an open back yard with plenty of room to move around. I also have steamed out tie outs for those who arent as confident with their recall.
About: I am a very kind person to animals and people! I try to treat people and animals as I would like to be treated. I would love to care for your pet and will always try to do the best job that I can. Growing up my family always owned a dog and I love all dogs of all sizes. We owned chihuahuas and we owned boxers and pugs. I also own a cat that I love very much! I hope that you will consider me to care for your pets when you are not able to. I promise to treat them as though they were my own. I hope that you will consider me to care for your pet and will do my best. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be fully present with my dogs and cat and any animals I may have the privilege of watching. I typically have a routine with my dogs and cat. They all get fed twice a day. I try to play with them a little every hour and we typically take walks twice a day as well. I do have an outdoor play area for them they go out supervised about 4 times a day
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: I have cared for animals my entire life and truly believe they are part of the family. Over the years, I’ve had hands-on experience with many different types of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, horses, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, amphibians, and more. Animals are my passion, and caring for them genuinely brings me joy. Whether it’s providing companionship, playtime, feeding, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I would give my own pets. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for by someone who is experienced, attentive, and truly loves animals. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I prioritize making sure animals receive attentive and reliable care. I am currently available during the day, which allows me to be flexible and attentive to your pet’s needs. On weekdays, I do drop off and pick up my two children from school (ages 8 and 10), but outside of those short times my schedule is very open. This allows me to provide consistent care, visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship for your pets. Because I structure my day around the animals I’m caring for, you can feel confident that your pet will receive dependable attention and thoughtful care while you’re away. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets, whether they are in my home or their own familiar environment. My home sits on nearly one acre with an unfenced yard, which allows for plenty of outdoor play and exercise. Dogs can enjoy time outside on leash, and off-leash play can be discussed depending on the dog’s training and owner preferences. Inside my home, my own pets have separate spaces, which allows visiting animals to be safely and comfortably separated if needed. This helps ensure a calm and secure environment for everyone. I am also happy to care for pets in their own homes. I am very respectful of clients’ homes and always follow instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s normal routine. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive care including feeding, playtime, companionship, exercise, and administering medications if needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away.
About: Hello! I'm Susu and I would love to care for your pet. I've been caring for animals since a very young age. My family and I would always bring in and care for fosters and strays, along with our own. Learning to train pups at such a young age has made it one of my biggest passions. I understand that every dog is different and it's all about learning who they are. I adapt and adjust to any dogs needs until they are happy and comfortable. Of course playtime is great but I will also inforce balance by having them do tricks and giving rewards. I believe in positive reinforcement and encouraging them to be their best furry selves. I will truly love your pet like my own. I do have a dog of my own named lexus. She is a rescue so she can be a little wary of strangers but is never shy around another furry friend! She has been socialized all of her life and loves to run and play. She understands social cues very well so if the other dog is uninterested in playing she will leave them alone. If Lexus and your dog meet I'm sure they will be best of friends! Whether it's just a walk or they stay a few nights I cant wait to meet your pup! My schedule is very flexible. I am a stay at home mom, photographer, mua and an artist. I am open to last minute scheduling if needed or scheduling something further in advance. Something consistent and on going would be preferred but if it’s just a one time thing that is okay with me as well! For walks we will go on a walk around the block. If needed we will work on not pulling the leash. For a boarding visit I will get them all set up and comfortable in my house. If it’s nice out we will go for a walk and play outside. Playing indoors as well and working on tricks they know or maybe learning a new one. Potty breaks will be provided whenever needed and food will be given as directed.

About: I've lived with animals my entire life. Growing up, we had five dogs, four cats, bunnies and guinea pigs, snakes and lizards, fish, and chickens. Currently, while living at home in the summers, we have snakes, lizards, spiders, a cat, and three dogs, one of which is mine. My dog Winston is a service dog in training that my mom and I are owner-training. While I'm in no way a professional trainer, I can help with teaching or maintaining the basics with any dog. I'm currently home for the summer from school and waiting on an application for a part-time job. I am free most of the day right now, as I haven't started working yet. So, I can come over and take care of any pet's needs most any time. I can take care of your animals' needs any time, whether it's taking them on a walk, letting them outside, feeding, cleaning up, or playing with them. My dogs at home are crate trained, so if your dog also stays in a crate at certain points of the day or night, I can easily crate them.

About: I have always had a dog growing up, so I learned from a very young age how to care for a pet. Friends and family have trusted me to take care of their dogs since I was around 12 years old. This includes stopping in the house to take them to the bathroom and feeding them, as well as giving medication if needed. Lots of snuggles and playtime too of course! I have taken care of dogs in the client's home for up to a week and cared for them at my home as well. No need to worry about any complex feeding schedules. I can manage it all. I am very comfortable with any age, breed, and sized dog! I have a one-year-old pup, so I am very familiar with training and puppy classes. I have volunteered at the humane society and when I was in high school, I job shadowed at a veterinary clinic. I currently work as a substitute teacher so my schedule is extremely flexible! During the summer months I am completely open. Weekdays and weekends any time of day. I make my own schedule so there will be no conflicts. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for some off leash playtime! My dog loves to run around playing fetch with a ball or stick. I have a walking path across the street from my home and am walking distance to nature hill for some extra exercise. I always have water, waste bags and small treats with me when going on walks. (My dogs personal favorites are cheerios). I am comfortable walking with any leash, collar or harness. I have two kennels in my living room if your dog needs to be crated. At least one crate is big enough to fit a large or XL dog. I have a baby gate in front of my stairs, and the basement door is always shut. I personally love going to the pet store or drive thru to get my pet a pup cup! I would be more than happy to take your dog for an adventure and for some extra love and enrichment!
About: I am a very kind person to animals and people! I try to treat people and animals as I would like to be treated. I would love to care for your pet and will always try to do the best job that I can. Growing up my family always owned a dog and I love all dogs of all sizes. We owned chihuahuas and we owned boxers and pugs. I also own a cat that I love very much! I hope that you will consider me to care for your pets when you are not able to. I promise to treat them as though they were my own. I hope that you will consider me to care for your pet and will do my best. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be fully present with my dogs and cat and any animals I may have the privilege of watching. I typically have a routine with my dogs and cat. They all get fed twice a day. I try to play with them a little every hour and we typically take walks twice a day as well. I do have an outdoor play area for them they go out supervised about 4 times a day
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: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 5, my sister is a vet and I always have access to ask her any questions if something were to ever happen, I hope to own my own hobby farm one day! I currently a work at Wctc and my hours are 4pm to 9pm Monday thru Thursday, off Fridays and 730 am to 430pm Saturdays, off Sundays I am available before and after my shifts. For my own pets I have a fenced in yard for them, I wash there faces and paws everyday, I feed them and bath them. I follow any instructions given to me by a clients, weather its about dietary restrictions, exercise requirements, meds etc
About: I have cared for animals my entire life and truly believe they are part of the family. Over the years, I’ve had hands-on experience with many different types of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, horses, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, amphibians, and more. Animals are my passion, and caring for them genuinely brings me joy. Whether it’s providing companionship, playtime, feeding, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I would give my own pets. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for by someone who is experienced, attentive, and truly loves animals. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I prioritize making sure animals receive attentive and reliable care. I am currently available during the day, which allows me to be flexible and attentive to your pet’s needs. On weekdays, I do drop off and pick up my two children from school (ages 8 and 10), but outside of those short times my schedule is very open. This allows me to provide consistent care, visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship for your pets. Because I structure my day around the animals I’m caring for, you can feel confident that your pet will receive dependable attention and thoughtful care while you’re away. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets, whether they are in my home or their own familiar environment. My home sits on nearly one acre with an unfenced yard, which allows for plenty of outdoor play and exercise. Dogs can enjoy time outside on leash, and off-leash play can be discussed depending on the dog’s training and owner preferences. Inside my home, my own pets have separate spaces, which allows visiting animals to be safely and comfortably separated if needed. This helps ensure a calm and secure environment for everyone. I am also happy to care for pets in their own homes. I am very respectful of clients’ homes and always follow instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s normal routine. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive care including feeding, playtime, companionship, exercise, and administering medications if needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away.
About: I had my first family dog since I was about 10 years old! Recently, I got my own dog who is about 45 pounds larger than what I was used to. That being said, I am still in the works of training my current dog different skills ( and unfortunately may be in this stage indefinitely) and I would be happy to bring these skills into your household when Im with your pets as well. I also have my fair share of watching pets for family and friends and would love to keep growing the number of four legged friends I have! I have quite a sporadic schedule that changes every few weeks with my current work. With that being said, it may often change when I am available and when I am not. I would love to stay in contact about future needs of care in order to determine if my schedule will allow me to help! Pets are truly a mans best friend! I think all animals deserve a chance, even those with an unknown past! With that, I like to spend quality time with animals and make sure they're comfortable with me so we can build a relationship where they trust me. I'd be happy to stop in to watch your pets once in awhile, take them for walks, or care for them for more extended periods!
“Anna took the best care of Winston! Our puppy can be shy and nervous, but she treats him like one of her own regardless and we are so thankful to have her spend time with him while we are at work. Thank you again Anna!”

“Once again Katie and DJ have taken excellent care of my special needs pup. He is so happy to go to their house, he doesn’t even care that I am leaving. LOL 😂 seriously amazing family that love the animals they care for.”
“Jamie and her family took such good care of Rusty! It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family and they updated us with pictures and messages throughout our vacation. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!”
“Brooke and Robbie were fantastic with my pugs! They are so kind and sent lots of pics/videos during their stay. Brooke and Robbie administered their meds, took lots of walks, and gave my pugs all the snuggles! They truly love caring for pups, and I would definitely have my pugs stay with them again!”
“Jennifer was fantastic. Onyx seemed like he had a good time and I knew he was well taken care of. She sent pictures and let me know how he was doing throughout the Stay. Would highly recommend.”
“This was Willow’s first stay with Jack and Jenny and she had a blast. She went on regular walks during her six day stay. We got regular updates and pictures so we felt at ease. They were even able to get Willow to take her medication (we were unsuccessful but Jenny knew just what to do). We will definitely be using Jack and Jenny in the future.”
“We are so very grateful for Marie. She welcomed our doggy into her house with all the love and attention we could hope for. We were blessed with photos while we were traveling which gave us comfort and made us smile. Our dog came back to us, happy, healthy, clean, and comfortable, which was perfect. Thank you again, Marie.”
“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!”
“David was really good with the dogs. Our dogs quickly ‘adopted’ their new Humans and appeared quite happy throughout their visit. David has a nice palace for the dogs to run and play. We will not hesitate to board our dogs with David in the future.”
“Our one year old german shepherd mix absolutely LOVED Ruby Paws! Ruby truly treats each pup as if it was her own. Her experience handling animals kept my mind at ease. Drop off and pick up went so smooth. My dog literally slept the remainder of the day upon pickup so I know she had fun :) BONUS - She sends daily snap chats of what your pup and her crew does throughout the day! Pricing is comparable to others in the area. Ruby also hosts other services (bathing, nail trimming, haircuts, etc.) with a salon on sight. I will definitely be rebooking with Ruby Paws!”
“Scott, Ashley and family take such good care of our 92 lb. Weimaraner, Hank. He has a lot of energy and always does well when with the family. He gets at least 2 walks a day in addition to play time in their large fenced in yard. Hank recently stayed with the family for 25 days which is the longest we’ve left him with any sitter. Everything went very well. Scott is great about sending pictures and updates daily.”

“Ellen did a wonderful job caring for our dog. She provided updates and pictures throughout the stay, and was extremely prompt and responsive. Our dog had a blast playing with her dogs, and enjoyed her large fenced in yard—I think it was hard to leave his new friends to come home!”
“Cheryl was great with our dog Ellie and our cats! You could tell she really cared about our animals and took the stress of leaving them alone off of our plates. We will book with her again!”
“Great communication from initial contact until pick up. Appreciated the daily updates and pictures. Biscuit had a great "staycation" over the weekend. We will use Anna for our dog sitting needs again.”
“Kortney was outstanding with our Belgian Malinois and our Border Collie! The dogs felt right at home, and she made sure we were comfortable as well! Highly recommend!”
“Courtney did a great job with Louie. It was such a pleasure to come back from a trip and have our pup alert, rested and well taken care of. Louie was accepted into the "Dog Pack" and we will for sure be asking Courtney to take care of our boy again in the future. Thank you Courtney.”
“Dana is wonderful! She takes good care of Hunter and sends pictures/ videos often. We really appreciate all the attention she gives him, and she is also super flexible. Thanks again, Dana! We appreciate you!😊”
“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!”
