“Hannah is the perfect sitter for our dog, whether we need to leave him for a long day or a longer than 2 week period. She clearly has a good understanding of animals in general, creating a calm but stimulating environment, making our pet feel secure and happy. We feel fortunate to have found Hannah as our dog’s home away from home when we can’t take him with us.”


“Goose was so happy staying with Leora. I was in town for business before heading to Carbondale to attend a memorial for my brother who passed in March. While I’ve had to work Goose stayed for both boarding and day care. He was happy to see me and happy to go back. I recommend Leora”

“Luna absolutely loved staying with Colleen. Colleen took great care of her, kept us updated with photos and videos, and was very flexible with us. We will definitely be using her again!!”
“We are on vacation in Wisconsin and was able to have our dog, Howie stay for approximately 10 hours with Rob and Kris P. She sent me pictures of him running and playing with two other dogs. We are so happy that we found such an amazing dog sitter for the day. I strongly recommend them. Will definitely request them when we vacation here next year. Dan and Sharon”

“We are so glad we found Randee! He did a great job with our golden retriever, Jane. He has a very friendly dog that Jane got to play with in his beautiful home and the yard of every dog’s dreams! We would love to book again with Randee for our future needs.”

About: I love big dogs, especially horses. I grew up taking in all the stray animals that were dumped on our road and finding homes for them. Being around any animal is my happy/safe place. I have 2 rescue horses that are like my children, I have one energetic dog, and one very loving cat, along with a bunch of chickens, one turkey, and two ducks. I want to go to school to be a large/small animal veterinarian. Caring and helping animals is my passion that I want to fulfill, I treat any animal with the loving care and kindness they deserve. I currently take care of my two rescue horses, consistently training them on a daily basis. I feed, and brush my cat on a daily, and feed, walk, and play with my dog daily. I have experience caring for my own pets and understand the importance of keeping animals safe, happy, and comfortable. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention. I follow all owner instructions carefully and make sure pets are supervised and cared for as if they were my own.
“Michelle and Drew are the BEST! They had our 2 Bernese Mountain Dogs for two weeks and our dogs bonded with both of them :) They were great with communication and feedback. They made our dogs feel right at home and took them for daily walks. We'd highly recommend them for other dog owners.”

“We were visiting the Rhinelander, WI area and decided last-minute to go snowmobiling. We were so grateful that Jessica was willing to take our last-minute booking! She took wonderful care of our dog, Anokha, and sent us timely photo updates that really gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy our trip knowing he was safe and happy. Since this is a pretty remote area with not many Rover sitters, we feel lucky we found such a star sitter. Highly recommend Jessica!”

I currently have a sweet senior indoor cat who requires oral medication, so I’m experienced and patient with giving meds and caring for older cats. Whether your kitty is playful, shy, cuddly, or independent, I’m happy to go at their pace and make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. 💕🐾

“Hannah and her family were phenomenal! From time of drop off until time of pick up, I got photos and updates of Arlo. He had so much fun, I don’t think he wanted to come home. 10/10 would recommend if you want someone that treats your pup like one of their own.”
About: I've taking care of dog for a year plus now. My friends and family trust and relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and have their pets stay overnight at my house. My house is especially a good environment for dog because my yard is fenced and the dog have their own furniture and their own room. I'm currently a stay at home dog mom and a bake at home so I have plenty of time to play and walk your pet which I love doing. My yard is fenced and I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company while he/she is here. I have plenty of toys and treats available for the dogs as well.

“Kyann is truly an amazing person. She ensures my dogs needs are met, provides great communication, and truly is the best dog sitter I have came across on this site. I love utilizing her services because of her caring personality, expertise, and flexibility.”

“Randee was so accommodating. He has a nice area for any dog to get there exercise and sunbathe. Tonka was certainly tired when he came home. We’ll definitely be asking Randee for another play date!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and ferrets since I was very young. I’m a civil engineer, but I love spending time with and taking care of animals more than anything! I take care of my friends’ and family’s pets all the time! I have a husky mix named Nirvana and a cat named Murphy. My english springer spaniel, Bowie, passed away last year from cancer. I’m experienced with walking dogs that are very strong and pull hard so you don’t have to worry about that being an issue! I’d be honored to be chosen to take care of your pet; I know how much my pets mean to me and I’ll make sure to take care of your pets as if they were my own! I currently don’t have a job, so I’m available to help take care of your pets whenever needed! I’m fine with early morning or late night care, and I can stop by as many times as needed! I’m willing and able to do anything for your pets at your home! My dog is slightly reactive so unfortunately I won’t be able to provide services at my own home.
About: Hi my name is Katie! I have taken care of many dogs for the past 10 years! I enjoy spending as much time outside as I can with pups that I dog sit! I am very flexible!! I am a full time teacher during the school year. I prefer to either walk your furry friends from your home or at “your” home sit them. I cater custom care to each client for the best care possible of their furry friends. I am also educated in giving medications via by mouth & syringe.
“Jordan took the best care of Bailey while we were on vacation!! The communication was great and all of the pictures and updates were appreciated. We will definitely use Jordan again!!”

About: I grew up in a house with up to 14 trained working dogs at a time. I’ve spent years working with and developing the skills needed for them to succeed at trained tasks. I currently have an obedience trained Catahoula Leopard Cur whom I’ve been working with since puppyhood. I’ve boarded and have done drop in pet sitting since age ten. I’ve bred and trained both domestic and working dogs, and have an advanced understanding of dog body language and behavior signs to help the dog communicate. I’ve had years of experience with many different breeds of dogs from terriers, hounds, bulldogs, mastiffs, golden retrievers, doodles, and many more. I’m currently working part time jobs with flexible hours, allowing me to arrange my schedule in a way that suits your needs. A typical day includes people being home almost 24/7, typically no more than 4 hours go by with my dog being alone. I am able to do drop ins when needed, and can work around most requests. I have an unfenced 2.5 acre yard attached to a 80 acre farm. My dogs are allowed to run freely with supervision in the yard. No current barn animals present besides cats and the two indoor dogs. I am also able to provide a small enclosed area to play, with prior notice, and can use different haltering methods to ensure your furry friend will remain in a safe controlled area. In your home I am able to provide any life style you give your dog, whether that be free roaming or supervised on-leash outside time, or any other way to keep your pet safe. I’m always open to different ways to care for dogs because I understand each dog has different needs.
