“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 is amazing!! When I was seeking someone to care for my Finnish Lapphound, I needed to find that special person who cared as much as I do, Ellen is that person. She provided us updates throughout his stay. Their fenced in backyard, is a doggie heaven! We will definitely use her services again!! Rest assured that your pet is in safe and loving hands under Ellen's care. Thank you Ellen!!”
“Sarah did a great job with our highly anxious dog. I know she was really stressed being away from our family, so we appreciate all Sarah did. She worked with us when we had to adjust who picked our dog up and we had no issues.”
“Amazing sitter, Mochi loves going out by Ruby. Ruby will send snaps of your pet enjoying themselves. Mochi has so much fun she sleeps for two days after I get her home.”
“Katy and Dennis are a one in a million find! They take such great care for our high energy dogs, send daily photos, and our dogs are happy to visit them anytime! I highly recommend these two when looking for care for your pups!”

“Another amazing weekend for our baby with David. She is so well taken care of when she is at his house, he treats her like his own. She always comes home so incredibly happy! Thank you again!”
“Gilian was amazing with Pepper! She sent consistent daily updates and lots of pictures! Pepper seemed to love her and her dogs and was tuckered out when he got home! Will definitely be booking with Gilian again; highly recommend”

“Korie took wonderful care of Dizzy! Her communication and updates were clear and she was flexible with pickup and drop off times. Would absolutely love for Dizzy to stay with Korie and Ozzy again.”
“Our 2 dogs stayed at Sarah's for about a week earlier this month. The stay was great! We got daily updates, including photos and videos. They have a fantastic large fenced in yard where they could safety run and play. They had lots of playtime, but also lots of snuggles and love. They were both clearly enjoying their own vacation at Sarah's while we were gone on ours. It was so refreshing to know they were so well cared for while we were away- we have already rebooked them for our next trip!”
“Maura is outstanding! She took such good care of my dogs I was afraid they wouldn't want to come home with me. She sent me pictures or videos daily which was wonderful. I will definitely be using her again. I wouldn't trust my dogs to anyone else.”

“Val was very accommodating towards our schedule as we are from out of state. He was quick to reply before we scheduled to answer all of our questions. He was attentive to what our pups needed. Val provided photos and even a video showing our babies were in good hands. Daisy & Lily seemed very happy when we picked them up. Thank you so much for taking good care of the girls!”

“Meghan and her loving family were so sweet, gentle, and loving to our dog Nolo. He is a sweet dog but also quite human-like in his peculiarities. They welcomed him in and he immediately knew he was staying with them. He looked back with hesitation as I left him in the arms of 6 petting hands. He watched TV with the family and laid under the dinging table and on the couch!! He naturally received a beauty treatment and hair brushing with ease. I could see he felt right at home. Meghan’s family was fantastic and they were all natural caretakers. Nolo will happily go back in the future. Thanks Meghan!”
“Emma took very good care of my lab mixes. They enjoyed their walks and being outside in their big back yard. They're older dogs so didn't play much but felt Emma did a wonderful job meeting their needs!”

“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.”

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

“My dog had a great time staying at Tina and Cameron's for a fun-filled day of daycare. She enjoyed two walks, got to run around in their large fenced in backyard, and was able to socialize with their two dogs! Tina was so sweet and I felt really comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. You can tell right away that her and Cameron are extremely knowledgeable and have a lot of experience in caring for dogs. My dog came home very happy and ready for a nap - perfect! :) Definitely will be a repeating customer!”
“Sarah and her pack did awesome!!! Can't thank her enough for taking in Winnie on such short notice. When I picked up Winnie I was taken back at how much Winnie had bonded with Sarah in such a short period of time. Sarah was aware of Winnie's IBD issues and updated me on how she did. I really appreciated her for that!!!! This family definitely loves dogs!!!”
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.”
About: Welcome to your furry friends pawcation retreat in Eagle, WI. Pet sitting, grooming and showing dogs is my full time passion (can't say job because I love what I do) not just extra income. I take every furry guest seriously and treat them like my own. My home is a retreat for your dog to feel comfortable, safe, relaxed all while enjoying the joys of being in a dog friendly home. I have been caring and showing dogs for over 30 years. My home has a large 6’ high fenced in area with doggie windows for potty breaks. I always go outside with them to supervise as it's just the routine that I do with my own dogs. I only cater to a few dogs at a time and that allows more attention for our furry friends. They can hang out with our resident Field Spaniel furkids, Starlet, Russell, KC and Trixie. Some dogs are quick to play and explore, while some dogs are shy and require more attention. I love all dogs and adapt my approach to your dog’s personality. If you see I am not available for certain dates, but still want service if I can rearrange I try to accommodate. In some examples of accommodation it has turned from pet sitting needs in the sitters home into me traveling to your house instead. ~~~ Check out my review stay photos to have a glimpse of the spoiling that your dog(s) will receive in my care. ~~~ In addition, I match the activities to each furry guest while they are boarding and that includes pets with special needs. Each day or overnights may include dog walks, car rides, playing fetch and simply being a house dog lounging on the couch. Additional services offered include pampering in the doggie spa or focusing on dog training sessions. Think of our home as a pet friendly home for pet sitting and dog grooming. We want all the dogs to feel as if they are home while you are away having fun. Dogs that work well in my home: I do not accept high energy dogs or dogs that are too large to handle. I prefer dogs that are calmer and dogs that can be left loose and do not mark on furniture. Please be honest when making a doggie overnight reservation. I understand dog behavior and know what works well with my own dogs. About my yard: 6’ high fenced yard with doggie windows for the dogs to see outside the yard. (Please note some of the photos seen are from an older house and not my newer resident in Eagle, Wi) Why I love dog sitting: I have been caring for dogs for over 30 years. My house and energy is very calming. My house is a retreat for dogs while the parents are away on vacations. I look forward to having your furkid(s) stay with me soon! Sincerely, Kylie I currently stay at home full time and can dedicate all my time as needed to our furry guests. They are my number one focus! Typical day can be waking up early (between 4am and 6am to let out and feed), all the fun stuff in between and bedtime is around 8pm due to my significant others schedule. 6’ high fenced yard with doggie windows for the dogs to see outside the yard. In addition, I have a safety plan in place because the dogs come first before my needs.
“David has an amazing environment for the dogs and his demeanor and care for them is awesome. We love taking our two dogs there weekly and they start going nuts when we are about a mile away!”
“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 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
“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!”
“Shelly was so great with my Vinnie. It was his first time staying with Shelly and he clearly had a blast. He came home happy but exhausted - perfect win. I'm so grateful Shelly was willing and able to care for Vinnie on pretty short notice - we will definitely be back :)”
“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 have helped take care of animals ever since I was 5. Over the years, I have dog sat for friends and neighbors along with providing support when needed. I have never not had a pet and have always made sure to do my research to ensure I am treating any pet in the best way possible along with ensuring what is and isn’t safe for different animals. I have many friends that come to me first when they need help, especially with their animals. Many of my friends have called me a dog whisperer. I currently work full time from home as an accountant. I tend to be home most weekends and my hours make it very easy to fit any animal into my schedule. I have 2 rabbit currently at my home and my neighbors have a dog, cats, and chickens. I would always make sure that the animal is supervised as I know how important a pet is and the responsibility necessary to ensure it stays safe. I did recently have a baby as well that would be joining me most of the time. I work from home full time and recently had a baby that I take care of full time too. As long as animals are comfortable with a baby, I am always happy to help out. I provide safe, reliable, and loving care for pets in my home or my client’s home by following their normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and medication if needed. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and comfort. I also monitor their behavior closely and keep owners updated for peace of mind.
About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician and have experience in pet sitting and the veterinary field for the past 20 years. I owned a pet sitting business for 5 years (2008 - 2012) and experience in general practice, emergency, specialty, and shelter medicine. Having a medical background allows me to pick up on medical issues and emergencies in a timely fashion, allowing for treatment if necessary. I am also able to administer medications as needed. I treat others' dogs the same way I treat my own pets and keep daily routines as close to their normal as much as possible. I work full time at a clinic and part time at the local humane society. I am available limited days during the week for walks and drop in services. Please see the calendar for up to date availability! I discuss your pets routine with you so I can keep it the same as possible during my visits. This helps keep your pet's schedule uninterrupted and allows for calmer and happier experiences!

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

I am pretty flexible. I have a fenced in backyard and 3 dogs who are great company. My dogs are crate trained and I have extra crates if your dog would need one as well.
About: Caring for others (especially animals) is truly my passion! I was a nanny for over 5 years which opened me up to pet care as well. Since most families I worked for had pets, I took on the responsibility of caring for them as well as their children. Hi there! Just a little bit about me! Caring for others (especially animals) is genuinely my passion! I was a nanny for over four years which opened me up to pet care as well. Since most families I worked for had pets, I took on the responsibility of caring for them as well as their children.

“Sadie is so sweet and kind! She's great with my highly energetic dog, Scout. She walks him all around my neighborhood and is kind to all of our neighbors she meets on our walk. She's very dependable and has great communication skills. I am so glad I found her to help me with Scout!”

I love taking pups for walks and helping let them out if people in the area could use an extra hand with their pups for whatever reason. I work remotely, so I often have a flexible schedule to assist with animals. I have a family and children and also help coach sports for them, so just need to work around their schedule (their activities are in the evening and on weekends, so those times are more limited for me). In my home, we have a fenced yard in which we let our dogs out for quick bathroom breaks. I also walk our dogs around our property (hobby farm) and in town on leashes.
About: We have grown up with animals our entire lives. Currently, we have two charming dogs and one adorable cat. Our top priority is to create a nurturing environment where animals feel safe, secure and at ease. We also have two younger children in the home, so any visiting dogs would have to be okay with them. All interactions are supervised for everyone's safety. Please message me with any questions. I work Tuesday - Friday, leaving Monday for the dogs (and cats)! Our children are involved in almost every sport possible, and we love taking our dogs with us to their practices and games. Yours can join too if they are up to it! Playing fetch, tug of war, or just cuddling on the couch, whatever it is that suits your dog best, we are up for it! I am available for drop-ins after morning school drop-off, during lunch and before school pick-up on Monday’s, along with offering dog walks in the morning and afternoon hours on Mondays. We appreciate your understanding, and cooperation. Your dog/cat will be treated like a member of our family, and I will do my best to ensure they enjoy their time. They will enjoy 1:1 time, being spoiled, and treated like royalty.
About: I have always had a dog in my house growing up, so i understand the basics of dog care. Currently I work at a dog daycare. I've been working there for 2 years and it has helped me understand more about dog behaviors, and care for them efficiently and effectively. Before that I volunteered at the Jefferson Humane Society for 3 years helping clean out animal cages/rooms and providing affection to all the rescued animals. I'm looking for extra work during the summer in between my internship and job. Internship is 3 days a week, job is 2. So I don't have a bunch of time but I do have some open hours where I can do dog walks and some daycare shifts. I have a lot of experience with a variety of dogs and their behaviors. I can create dogs when needed and can walk dogs without any issues.
About: Since my family got a chihuahua in 2011, I have loved dogs! And in 2021, my family got 2 new puppies! I only have owned small dogs but I volunteer at the Humane Society and have worked with dozens of dogs with different sizes and temperemants! Thursdays and Fridays are my most available days, but let me know what you need and I will find time! I am an online student so I don't have many time constraints! I can give your dog exercise and some extra loving when you don't have the time or energy. Enrichment time is important for all dogs, no matter the size or age!
“Does a great job with my dog. Will be calling again for future needs. But my pup is ready to be on his own for the work day. Thank you very much for all your help and expertise!”
About: I have always loved animals. I always say my first job was when I was 4 helping in my grandmother's vet clinic. I got to help cuddle all of the dogs and assist in all the fun a vet clinic has to offer. It was love at first site. I now have three rescue dogs of my own that are spoiled and loved. I have lots of farm experience and worked at Skydance Doggy Day Care for a time. I am a stay at home mom but my little one will be at preschool Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. From 9-2. So I have some free time to help you and your fur babies out!! I can come to your house to walk your fur baby and give them all the pets they could need. I am willing to do anything else your dog/pet requires during the day :)

“Ellen is amazing!! When I was seeking someone to care for my Finnish Lapphound, I needed to find that special person who cared as much as I do, Ellen is that person. She provided us updates throughout his stay. Their fenced in backyard, is a doggie heaven! We will definitely use her services again!! Rest assured that your pet is in safe and loving hands under Ellen's care. Thank you Ellen!!”

“Our 2 dogs stayed at Sarah's for about a week earlier this month. The stay was great! We got daily updates, including photos and videos. They have a fantastic large fenced in yard where they could safety run and play. They had lots of playtime, but also lots of snuggles and love. They were both clearly enjoying their own vacation at Sarah's while we were gone on ours. It was so refreshing to know they were so well cared for while we were away- we have already rebooked them for our next trip!”
“Maura is outstanding! She took such good care of my dogs I was afraid they wouldn't want to come home with me. She sent me pictures or videos daily which was wonderful. I will definitely be using her again. I wouldn't trust my dogs to anyone else.”
“Val was very accommodating towards our schedule as we are from out of state. He was quick to reply before we scheduled to answer all of our questions. He was attentive to what our pups needed. Val provided photos and even a video showing our babies were in good hands. Daisy & Lily seemed very happy when we picked them up. Thank you so much for taking good care of the girls!”
“My boy stayed with Duane and Lauren and had a great time. They are so kind and communicative with pupdates throughout their stay. I have already recommended them to friends and will definitely use them again!”
“This is Rusty's third time staying with Anna and her family and she always takes such good care of him! He loves going there and we can always head out on vacation knowing he's in great hands!”
“Meghan and her loving family were so sweet, gentle, and loving to our dog Nolo. He is a sweet dog but also quite human-like in his peculiarities. They welcomed him in and he immediately knew he was staying with them. He looked back with hesitation as I left him in the arms of 6 petting hands. He watched TV with the family and laid under the dinging table and on the couch!! He naturally received a beauty treatment and hair brushing with ease. I could see he felt right at home. Meghan’s family was fantastic and they were all natural caretakers. Nolo will happily go back in the future. Thanks Meghan!”
“Emma took very good care of my lab mixes. They enjoyed their walks and being outside in their big back yard. They're older dogs so didn't play much but felt Emma did a wonderful job meeting their needs!”
“Kylie took care of our Penny (dachshund) for a long stay while we were on vacation. After meeting her, we felt very comfortable leaving her for such an extended period of time. We felt confident that she would be well cared for and she was! Kylie was flexible and caring during her stay and took great care of Penny, even when her new food gave her tummy trouble...we so appreciated it! We would not hesitate to book again with Kylie in the future!”
“Kaycee and Robert are the best! They took such good care of our little dog, who has never spent time away from us. They took him on walks, played with him, and kept him warm and safe. Our dog loved Tank (their dog) and the kids. He had a blast with this lovely family. They are kind and warm people who took excellent care of our dog. It is evident that they are expert dog owners who have fostered and trained many dogs. We will definitely book them next time we leave town. We highly recommend them!”
