“Elizabeth communicated very well with us and was flexible and we really enjoyed the photos and updates while we were out of town. We would highly recommend Elizabeth and use her in the future!”
“Our dog, Ozzy, did great at Jennifer's house for a week. He was happy that he had other dogs to play with and was well taken care of. We would definitely use Jennifer again.”
“Madeleine & Anthony were great! From my 1st contact to pick up our experience was so good, I contacted Madi because we were leaving town for a short vacation, Madi had questions for me when we were initial messaging, then we did a meet and greet. When we dropped Annie, of course she was a bit nervous, Madi sent several updates a day with photos & videos so that we could see Annie was doing enjoying herself with the other dogs. We will for sure be reaching out to see if Madi and Anthony are available next time we leave town.”
“Jacob took the best care of our golden retriever, Nala, while we were gone for 8 days for our destination wedding! She loved playing in his fenced in backyard (which we saw in pictures he sent us). It was so nice leaving her knowing that Jacob works from home and would give her all of the attention outside of his working day (although I’m sure Nala tried to distract him during work too LOL). Couldn’t recommend anyone better to take care of your loved pet!!”
“Our pup is turning 3 in June and we had never left her with anyone. We found Kessia and felt an instant connection. She confidently, but gently assured our pup and us that there was nothing to worry about, and her two pups instantly welcomed ours in playful banter. We have no concerns in leaving our pup with Kessia.”
“Joseph was very approachable and open to the idea of taking on our 8 month old lab Beau. Beau is alot of work at this point . Joseph was very calm and up for a challenge. We interacted well together and our dogs for the most part wore each other out. I really appreciate his willingness to take Beau on short notice. He is definitely a five star care giver. Thank you Joseph for your amazing care!!”
“Kristy was amazing with my 1 year old Border Collie! He can be a handful but she sent me tons of pictures of him having fun all weekend! I trust her completely and know he was in good hands. He loved the backyard and playing frisbee with her!”
“Very friendly and kind people. My dog appeared to enjoy his time with Alia, he was happy and healthy at pickup. I received photos and updates while I was away which was nice.”
“Carissa did a great job with Luna. Her and her son played with my husky outside in the snow and they gave her plenty of attention. I would definitely use Carissa again!”
“My dog Kylo stayed with Kim and her family for the first time for about a week, and although it’s always a little nerve-wracking leaving him with a new sitter, especially for an extended length of time, Kim was gracious and communicative before and during my trip. She sent photos and even reached out when he had some tummy issues so we could help him feel well again. I’m truly grateful to have found her and will definitely book with her again.”
“Amanda & her family are so great! It was so comforting to know while we were gone for 9 days that both of our dogs were so well cared for. She followed our instructions explicitly and sent us daily updates. It’s clear her family treats the dogs they watch as a member of their family. We will absolutely use Amanda in the future for needs.”
“Molly is the best! I got a very tired, calm dog back after a night at her place. She sent cute pictures, kept my dog on a schedule, and was flexible when I was late to come pick my pup up. We will absolutely continue to book with Molly!”
About: I’ve taken care of a couple of different types of dogs since I was young. My family and friends trusted their dogs in my care. I’m a college student looking for side work to make some extra money. but haven’t started classes yet, so I have a very open schedule. I create a calm safe environment as well as follow pet routines closely, I handle pets gently, always respect owners boundaries, and prioritize safety in my home and clients homes.
“Rebecca was fabulous with our pup. She sent updates and was very communicative. When we picked up our dog, she was happy to see us, but obviously well cared for and not anxious at all. Grateful for the help and loving care!”
“We had a great experience with an overnight stay at Tyler & Caitlin's for our boy, Russell! Everything went smoothly from communicating about the stay, dropping him off, receiving updates throughout the weekend, to picking him up Sunday evening. Russell enjoyed playing with their dog and a couple others they were boarding at the time. It was obvious that Tyler and Caitlin love dogs and have lots of experience with them. We would not hesitate to book a stay with them again! :)”
“Approved a last minute request due to an unexpected need to travel out of town - grateful for that! Was incredibly responsive to communication, sent photos and updates, and created an easy, smooth process for us. Conveniently located in Menomonie, and love that our dog had a fenced in back yard to run in. Would highly recommend!”
“Amy and Brendan are honestly the best dog sitters we have ever had! I am very particular about who I leave my oldest dog with and they did not let me down! The daily updates with pictures were fantastic! My dog was rarely alone and it was evident that they treated him like a member of their family. I know who my go-to dog sitters are now!”

“Kristy was so accommodating and lovely to work with! She sent pictures everyday of the cats which I love. I came home and the cats were nice and tired from all the playing and fun they had with her! Thanks again!”
“Taryn took care of our 3 cats while we were on vacation for a week. She stopped by every day to feed and water them, fed the fish, and watered my houseplants. Very much appreciated her communication and taking care of everyone!”
“Michelle regularly does check ins and has done a couple overnights for my pup. She arrives on time, takes great care of my dog, communicates, follow instructions, and sends lots of pics. She is incredibly nice and attentive to my pup and also this nervous dog mom lol. I am very selective in who let care for my gentle giant; I trust Michelle completely and know my baby is in amazing hands. She treats my dog like one of her own, his schedule is followed, and he gets to relax at home with lots of love while I am a way. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could! We are grateful for her at our house!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working at a dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. That experience taught me how to recognize body language, safely manage group play, handle high-energy dogs, and provide calm, patient care for shy or anxious pets. I'm active, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or someone to stick to their daily routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet like they're my own, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, capable hands. I am a college student and my seasonal job recently ended so I have a full time schedule to commit to pet care. It will be my top priority. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special care instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, while always respecting your home's rules and your pet's normal schedule. With my experience working at a dog daycare, I'm comfortable recognizing different behaviors, handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and responding calmly in new situations. I always keep pets securely leashed during walks (unless in a safely enclosed area), monitor them closely, and make sure they have fresh water and a clean, safe environment.
About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of dogs since I was young. My family has a 14 year old Great Dane who I consider my baby. We have also had other smaller dogs such as a mini Aussie doodle and an Italian greyhound. I have been pet sitting dogs since I was in middle school and I always enjoyed spending time with every dog I met. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and I have experience with lifting and carrying very large senior dogs with difficulty jumping, as well as caring for dogs with sundowners. I’m also pretty good at getting most dogs to take their meds. I’m a college student so I mostly have evenings and weekends free. Getting a few hours in outside of my regular schedule is really helpful to me. I am very respectful of your space and I want to make sure the dog feels comfortable most of all. I will carefully read the list of tasks I’m left and make sure that everything gets done so that you can come back home with no concerns about your house or your pet.
About: I have been volunteering as a foster cat mom with the Eau Claire Humane Society since 2020. They have found success in giving me the “difficult” cats who need extra attention. I’ve helped over 22 cats get adopted. With lots of time & patience, they learned to trust humans again and their behavioral issues went away. I also have experience administering medications to cats (oral and injectable). My family had over 15 cats growing up. My friends call me the “cat whisperer” because I am known for random and unprovoked kitty fun facts😋
“Emma was amazing and wonderful with my orange-flavored boy. She cuddled and loved on him like he was her own fur baby. I will definitely be asking her to care for Robin again.”
“First time that Amanda has taken care of my rabbits and everyone involved seemed to enjoy it. She was able to help me last min and followed my posted directions. Will contact her again next time I need help.”
About: My mom had rescue dogs and cats my entire childhood, and a few years ago, I adopted my kitty, Momo. Outside of my home, I occasionally help care for friends’ cats when they travel, which some times includes overnight stays, or some times just 2x a day check ins. I love playing or just chilling with cats. I’m happy to match a cat’s energy and play or not play however it seems to like. Unfortunately, I also have experience with caring for cats at end-of-life, as well as caring for cats experiencing illness. I’ve given antibiotics to my family cats and friends’ cats. My cat Momo is particularly difficult to give medicine to - unfortunately it really stresses him out, so I am very acclimated to cat scratches.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability of attentiveness, reliability, and genuine care I bring to every pet I work with. I learn the animals routine, personality, and comfort cues so they feel safe and relaxed while you are away.
“We had never tried a pet sitter before but because of the length of our trip we wanted someone to check on our cat, Bogey, on a daily basis. Adrian did an outstanding job all 9 days seeing to his needs, both physical and emotional. Bogey became attached to her and loved cuddling with her. We are very pleased with the outstanding service she provided. We will definitely use Adrian again for any other trips we make. Highly recommended!!! Bev and Gil W.”

“Amanda and her family are AMAZING! they made my dog feel right at home and sent pictures the whole day. She is so flexible and made sure I felt comfortable the whole time my dog was there. Will definitely be calling amanda when we are in the area in the future!”
“Holly seemed to have lots of fun with the other dogs/kitten. She loves to be outside so I'm so glad Maddy takes her on field trips in the country. It was her first day so it took alot to get used to things. Maddy handled well and I had no worries since Maddy checked in during the day.”
About: Hey there! I am an animal lover to the core. Let me be your pet's new best friend while you are away! I recently moved back to the Midwest to be closer to family, about two years ago. I was traveling constantly for work, but am now full time work from home. When I lived in another state for work, I did pet care as a part time job with private clients weekly. I grew to absolutely love it and would love to get established back in Wisconsin. I grew up with dogs, cats, and cows my entire life - being raised on a farm. I am the type of person who can’t stop without petting a dog whenever I see one! Providing companionship to your pet is my favorite thing to do. We can go on walks, eat food, and watch the latest Hulu show together! Your fur baby is welcome to sleep with me, on the floor, or in any bed or crate you bring. My two rescue cats absolutely LOVE other animals, so there is no worry there. They are so curious and eventually become besties! Since I am work from home full time now, so I am extremely flexible and they will have constant attention. I do live in an apartment, BUT, I am right next to the walking trail in River Prairie (the loop). I would be more than happy to go on as many walks as needed, and enjoy some sunshine with your fur baby! So do not worry, they can be outside as much or little as you’d like. I am open to care of all animals, all sizes, and all ages. If wanted, I visit my family farm quite often where we have extensive yard and land to run on. It is 100% an option for me to take your pet there if you want them to have some extra smells, especially if they stay long term with me. I’m extremely flexible and want you to not have to worry! While I traveled full time for work in the past, constant updates on my animals back home was crucial to me. I will provide as much or little communication you’d like. I’m here to meet you and your pet where you’d like and keep being away from them stress free. I promise they are in such caring hands! I work from home most days and go on daily walks myself! I would love to have a companion along with me to help make my place less lonely! During the weekends I can give even extra attention! I have access to the loop walk near River Prairie where i can take your pet for a potty break or for a walk! Depending how far they like to go - I can do the full three miles with them, or cut it shorter! I will be here with them to provide food, water, and care. Your pet will be my number 1 priority while I am with them!
“Jacob was great for Charlie. My dog had a lot of anxiety and never met Jacob before but overall I could tell that Charlie was well taken care of and received lots of good support from Jacob. I would definitely use Jacob again.”
About: I have had a dog in my home since I was born! From BoBo, to now my own puppy, Mani, I have had tons of experience with all kinds of dogs. I have taught Mani sit, shake, down, stay, and come so far! I would love to help people with the basics: walking, feeding, potty breaks, playing, and keeping an eye on them. Additionally, I understand dog behaviors and how to approach different behaviors with caution and care. I am available to help almost anytime during the week and weekends! Starting in September, Tuesdays will be off the table as I will be in school, but so far I am available almost anytime. In the clients home, please let me know how you want me to take care of your dog and how to come into your home with care and compassion!
About: I grew up with many family pets and helped care for them. I have worked professionally at day care and boarding/training facilities. In 2011 I acquired a Veterinary Assisting Diploma from Horizon School of Veterinary Assisting. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, most days I am available. We can talk and figure out what would work best for you and your companion animal. I will respect your animals current routine already in place and follow through with daily care needs as if you would for them in your home.
“Chris did great with the dogs! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!! He played fetch with our lab until she got tired (who can play fetch FOREVER... seriously forever). He’s very considerate, informative, and a true dog lover! I can tell he does is absolute best to give the pups the excersize and love they need and deserve!”
“Molly was great both with booking and during Kona’s stay. She responded very quickly and sent updates throughout the day. Will definitely be using her services again!”
About: Having had pets all my life, I really understand how special dogs and cats are. I promise to treat your furry family member with the same care, respect, and love that they would expect at home. I have a flexible schedule and would like to fill my free time. Although I plan to go back to school in January, I’ll still be available for pet sitting. I have a fenced yard where your pup can play freely, and a cozy, smoke-free home perfect for snuggles. Currently, I don't have any pets in my home, and I'm preparing my space to be comfortable, warm, and welcoming for stays.
“Hadyn was wonderful! She watched our Ruby on a last minute notice and sent us regular updates. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Thank you again Hadyn!”
“Highly recommend Mike—he was incredibly easy to work with, highly responsive, and flexible. He offered up a meet/greet in advance which was incredibly helpful. My pup Taco was comfortable with him right away—he is definitely a dog lover!”
About: I have worked for roughly two years dog sitting for friends and family. Typically these have been in my own home - occasionally overnight. I have a fenced in back yard for my 3 dogs & 2 cats so I have experience with both :) I have complete availability currently, so my dog at home gets quite a lot of walks and park time. If possible, i also try to socialize him with people each day. Typically I take my dog to the dog park in the evening with a long walk in the morning. This works best for my dogs energy levels, but each dog is different. I am also trying to socialize my dog in public as he is a bit scared of humans so we try to hit some breweries here and there.
About: I've been around animals my whole life. I have a cat and have had several different dogs. I even fostered dogs for a summer. I'm now divorced and have my kids half the time. My work is flexible and I can add in dog care as needed throughout the day. I homeschool my boys when I have them and work delivery jobs when I don't. My work is very flexible so I can make time for per care any time. I live in town with a small yard. It works best to come to your home as it's most familiar for the animal. My home is a good size but has close neighbors. You can find my personal pet sitting page called Jessica's Pet Sitting on Facebook.

“Carissa was very easy to work with setting up the first meeting/trial run. It is nice to have daycare options when we are at our campsite and want to go do things, without having to leave him at the camper. Cope must have really enjoyed himself because he headed back towards her house, rather than the car when it was time to leave.”
About: I’ve been watching dogs and cats since I was young. I love to walk dogs and spend lots of time playing together. I also enjoy caring for cats. I’m very reliable and am a good communicator. I would love to spend more time helping out with pets! I recently moved here and would love to watch some new furry friends. I’m employed part time currently and looking for full time work. I am very respectful of other people’s homes and properties. I am clean, quiet, and will communicate as often as you would like.

About: Hello, my name is Taryn. I’ve had plenty of experience taking care of dogs as I have had dogs my whole life. Since middle school, I have been pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Not only have I had pet sitting experience with dogs, I have taken care of other animals as well. Those animals range from cats, bunnies, fish, and even chickens ! I will be able to provide you and your pets with the services you need! I just graduated from UW-Stout and am currently living in Eau Claire. I work at my main job on weekdays (in Menomonie). My hours vary, but they are usually only 7 hour shifts or less. I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays unless I already have another gig booked. I am able to provide your pet with whatever service they need, ranging from making sure they have enough food and water to taking them on walks and providing them with entertainment! I am available for dog walking and drop-ins before 5pm on Mondays, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and after 5pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. As for house-sitting, I am available most days as long as your pet is okay with being alone for a few hours! I attend in-person classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, but would have an hour or two to come back to the house to check in! I currently do not offer doggy day care in my own home, but I will be able to keep your dogs company at their respective homes. I can walk them, feed them, play with them, keep them company, and more!
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I'm currently working a full time job, however I still have plenty of time to watch your fur babies!! If anything changes I will let you all know ASAP!! I have two very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if needed, or I can separate my dogs from your dogs if needed. I also have toys for them to play with so they won't get bored.
“Emma is the best!! She takes amazing care of my fur baby GunnerSky when she comes to walk her while I am at work. Emma always takes GunnerSky on long walks and spends the full amount of time with her. Thank you Emma!! 😊😊”
About: Whether it’s humans or animals I am a natural born caregiver. I’m a very proud cat owner of 2 little chunks named Lila & Milo. I also volunteer and foster cats with the Eau Claire Humane Society. Professionally I worked part time as a dog kennel attendant for 5 years where I handled all kinds of dog breeds. Young to old, small to XL. I am happy to say I’m trained in dog CPR! I also have experience administering medications to dogs (oral) and cats (oral and injectable). Caregiving comes very natural to me! I have 13 years of experience working as a certified nurse’s assistant. Happily taking care of the elderly in memory care settings and more recently as a hospice nurse’s assistant. I grew up on the island of Maui where my family had 2 dogs, over 15 cats, 7 hamsters, 3 guinea pigs, and numerous fish. I even had my own pet pig named Princess🥰 I’ve been an animal lover from the start! My dream is to open my own wildlife rehabilitation center someday. My schedule is extraordinarily flexible. I only work part time as a hospice aide. This means I have ample spare time to care for your pets! With notice, I can usually fit anything into my schedule. I prioritize hydration, especially in warm weather. I am knowledgeable and enjoy feeling prepared. I keep doggy bags, water bowls, toys, an extra leash, treats, etc in my vehicle so I always have access to those items just in case. I love taking dogs on walks or sitting outside to play with them (weather permitting). Should we happen to encounter an emergency situation, I do very well under pressure. I care for ALL animals like they are my own. They will be safe with me🙏🏻
About: I bring a calm, friendly presence that helps pets feel safe and relaxed while their people are away. I’ve grown up with animals and currently care for a few clients’ pets in Eau Claire — including a 3-week stay with multiple pets. I know how important routines are, and I pride myself on clear communication, clean homes, and happy tails. Whether it’s a quick walk or a full house sit, I’ll follow your instructions to the letter and treat your pets like my own. I’m flexible, detail-oriented, and truly love getting to know each animal’s personality. My goal is always to create a stress-free experience — for both you and your furry family. Pet care can fit seamlessly into my routine. I currently bartend and this allows for more flexibility and available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, or house sitting throughout the week — your pet’s needs come first in my day! I have no pets at my home so my casa is your pets casa with no interference. At my 8 plex building there is a much area to run around if they can be off leash otherwise the area is great to walk for potty breaks at anytime. I live in a safe, quiet and less trafficked area which will be great for walks!
About: Hi! I’m a senior college student at UWEC! I’ll be updating my schedule frequently throughout the school year, but as of right now I’m available all weekdays and limited weekends. I have experience working with a wide variety of animals, ranging from horses — which I’ve ridden and owned since I was 3 years old — to dogs and cats that I’ve had my whole life. I’m currently on my third German Shepherd puppy at home, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy dogs, puppy care, and animals of all personalities! I love spending time with animals and would love the opportunity to help care for your pets! I currently only plan to work minimal hours a week in Antigo this summer, and I will start that up in June. Until then I’m free most days! Prefer mornings but can making afternoons and evenings work if needed! I’m more than willing to figure out what works for you! I am currently not able to board pups right now! But am happy to come house sit or come check in your animals at your home in setting they’re comfy in!
“Alia is very reliable and timely! You can tell she has a lot of knowledge on dogs and goes the extra mile to work with my puppy! She truly cares about the well-being of animals!”
“Amanda was amazing! She did great with my big dogs (one being aggressive towards other dogs) and was very communicative. Will definitely be contacting her to help take care of our dogs again!”
About: Animals and pets of any kind have held a special place in my heart for most of my life. I have experience dog sitting animals 10- 80 lbs and have cared for as many as 3 at a time. I currently don't own any animals, but I would love to take care of yours! I am available for house/pet sitting & walking on weekdays and weekends.

About: My mom had rescue dogs and cats my entire childhood, and I always helped care for them as her oldest daughter. My mom adopted dogs big and small - as big as a golden retriever, and as little as a chihuahua, and often cared for multiple cats at a time. I grew up in California, where my family pets live with my parents - three dogs and two cats. My cat Momo moved to Eau Claire with me. My parents are planning to retire here, which will be a big move, especially with so many animals, so when the time comes, I’ll be helping move their pets. After living in Eau Claire for a month or so, I house and pet sat for my cousin while she was working on a project out of town for a few months. I bonded with her German Shepherd, Lobo, through long walks and runs, and fell in love with her tiny cat Duchess. Later that winter, while I was still doing the long-term pet sit for my cousin, one of her friend’s rescued a cat who had been abandoned. Due to her living situation, she couldn’t take it in immediately, so Lobo and Duchess had Zia as a guest living with us for a month or so. Beyond helping out my family, I have friends whose animals I help care for on occasion too. One friend reaches out when she needs to go out of town, and I will do check ups or come stay with her needy and sweet cat-named-Kitty. Another friend and I meet up to walk downtown with her cutie little dog Lotta. I record all my walks and runs on Strava, and enjoy posting photos and videos of my furry companions, so if I walk with your pup, I would be happy to share photos if you ask! Last summer, I looked after my co-worker’s chickens and garden for a 3-day weekend, so I’m open to learning how to care for other pets beyond cats and dogs too! I work part-time at the flower shop and my schedule varies week to week based on their need, but I have lots of free time between weekdays and the weekend - I always have a free Sunday. I can easily arrange my schedule to allow for plenty of time between walks, play time, or check ups with animals. I will be brand new to Rover and open to meeting pets’ needs and routines as their human typically would! Right now, beyond my cat Momo, the only other animals I care for are my cousin’s dog and cat when she’s traveling and needs me to fill in, and I care for them as she would - from feeding routines to play time, walks, and cleaning.

About: I volunteered at an animal shelter for two and a half years. My family has had many pets and I was always their primary caretaker. Currently, I have had my dog for 8 years and my husband and I recently adopted our cat Buster together. I have also had experience with smaller animals like guinea pigs and rabbits. I am able to walk, bathe, brush, clip claws, feed, exercise, and play with cats and dogs of all ages. I am a teacher so I am available mostly during evenings for drop in visits and walks. During common break times such as Spring Break or summer I would be available for overnight house sitting. Weekends are usually fully open! I am experienced in keeping animals safe and healthy. This includes playing and exercising with them, making sure they get food and water, and cleaning after them.
About: I grew up with animals since I was a child. Cats, dogs, horses, sheep, you name it we had it. In addition, I have pet sat for a number of families that I have nannied for in the past. I’m comfortable giving medication, taking walks, playtime, and any attention they may need while you’re gone. I am currently on the job hunt, so my days are flexible. I’m available for mornings, afternoons, and evenings. As well as weekday and weekends. I am not able to take care of animals at my home at this time, but look forward to providing safe care at your home.
About: They say to do what you love and make a career out of it. I’m just grateful my career gets to be with dogs. I currently work at a doggy daycare/boarding facility in the area, so I am certified with dog and cat behaviors and have seen the ups and downs of our fur babies, and I am still standing here happy to tell you all about their stay/session. I have also grown up with working farm dogs and have gone on to own a Great Pyrenees who isn’t quite a working dog but sure does “work” like one. Thank you for reading through my short history and I am super excited to update this with my accomplishments to come! Pet care for me starts at dawn lol My pups come for cuddles and a potty break first sight of my eyes opening. Most of the time this does align with my schedule in the 6 am timeframe. Our family does always thankfully have one person home at all times, so while kennels are still utilized in our home for various situations, your pups can expect to stay in a home environment while here :) While I personally do not have a yard, my family does own large pasture fields and hills that we will typically walk daily. These colder seasons do affect how often we go out due to the snow and unplowed hills. However in that safe weather we make it a main priority to keep active with our pups to maintain a healthy and long life for them. Safety is priority number one. Thankfully my family is pretty much set up for success here. We are knowledgeable for food, behavior, and play safety with dogs and cats. Signs and symptoms of common issues with dogs and cats, based off personal experiences, and possible fears of what ifs, urinary cat blockages and bloat, or bloody stools. And while I understand dog body language and know how to avoid those tense situations dogs can create, I am incredibly quick to say when we are going to the emergency vet, gosh forbid.
About: I've had a lot of dogs in my life since I was very little that I have helped watch or care for. I help watch my relatives dogs when they are out on vacation or just gone for a few days. They've always relied on me to help them out and of course I did! I was always willing to take their dogs to care for if others they asked first couldn't do so. I've bathe and fed their pets as if they were just like mine to love and care for while in my hands! I'm a part timer so I would definitely have enough time to care for other pets in my hands! I also always try to find a way to work my schedule as best as I can. I don't have a fenced yard but I always put their leashes on and walk them out to use bathrooms or small walks around the yard or sidewalks. I keep watch on them all times and play with their toys or interacting any way to ensure they're having fun great times with me!
“We booked Kim while we were on vacation to walk our dog at our sitter home. Kim was very Flexible and we were happy with her services. Would highly recommend and will book again for future needs.”
About: Hello! My name is Celeste, so nice to meet you! A little about my experience with animals: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. My sister and I grew up with multiple dogs throughout our life and have had more than ten cats at one time at our family home where we grew up. I would love to get to know your pets and to take real good care of them!! Anything you need from me, just let me know! :) I am currently working part time and would love to spend my free time taking care of your precious little fur babies!! Happy to be here for you and your fur babies :) I have my precious boy Niko but I absolutely adore dogs (plan on getting one in the future). I have taken care of animals many times for friends, family and now Rover!

“Madeleine & Anthony were great! From my 1st contact to pick up our experience was so good, I contacted Madi because we were leaving town for a short vacation, Madi had questions for me when we were initial messaging, then we did a meet and greet. When we dropped Annie, of course she was a bit nervous, Madi sent several updates a day with photos & videos so that we could see Annie was doing enjoying herself with the other dogs. We will for sure be reaching out to see if Madi and Anthony are available next time we leave town.”
“Jacob took the best care of our golden retriever, Nala, while we were gone for 8 days for our destination wedding! She loved playing in his fenced in backyard (which we saw in pictures he sent us). It was so nice leaving her knowing that Jacob works from home and would give her all of the attention outside of his working day (although I’m sure Nala tried to distract him during work too LOL). Couldn’t recommend anyone better to take care of your loved pet!!”
“Our pup is turning 3 in June and we had never left her with anyone. We found Kessia and felt an instant connection. She confidently, but gently assured our pup and us that there was nothing to worry about, and her two pups instantly welcomed ours in playful banter. We have no concerns in leaving our pup with Kessia.”
“Joseph was very approachable and open to the idea of taking on our 8 month old lab Beau. Beau is alot of work at this point . Joseph was very calm and up for a challenge. We interacted well together and our dogs for the most part wore each other out. I really appreciate his willingness to take Beau on short notice. He is definitely a five star care giver. Thank you Joseph for your amazing care!!”
“Kristy was amazing with my 1 year old Border Collie! He can be a handful but she sent me tons of pictures of him having fun all weekend! I trust her completely and know he was in good hands. He loved the backyard and playing frisbee with her!”
“Very friendly and kind people. My dog appeared to enjoy his time with Alia, he was happy and healthy at pickup. I received photos and updates while I was away which was nice.”
“Carissa did a great job with Luna. Her and her son played with my husky outside in the snow and they gave her plenty of attention. I would definitely use Carissa again!”
“My dog Kylo stayed with Kim and her family for the first time for about a week, and although it’s always a little nerve-wracking leaving him with a new sitter, especially for an extended length of time, Kim was gracious and communicative before and during my trip. She sent photos and even reached out when he had some tummy issues so we could help him feel well again. I’m truly grateful to have found her and will definitely book with her again.”
“Amanda & her family are so great! It was so comforting to know while we were gone for 9 days that both of our dogs were so well cared for. She followed our instructions explicitly and sent us daily updates. It’s clear her family treats the dogs they watch as a member of their family. We will absolutely use Amanda in the future for needs.”
“Molly is the best! I got a very tired, calm dog back after a night at her place. She sent cute pictures, kept my dog on a schedule, and was flexible when I was late to come pick my pup up. We will absolutely continue to book with Molly!”
“Rebecca was fabulous with our pup. She sent updates and was very communicative. When we picked up our dog, she was happy to see us, but obviously well cared for and not anxious at all. Grateful for the help and loving care!”
“We had a great experience with an overnight stay at Tyler & Caitlin's for our boy, Russell! Everything went smoothly from communicating about the stay, dropping him off, receiving updates throughout the weekend, to picking him up Sunday evening. Russell enjoyed playing with their dog and a couple others they were boarding at the time. It was obvious that Tyler and Caitlin love dogs and have lots of experience with them. We would not hesitate to book a stay with them again! :)”
“Approved a last minute request due to an unexpected need to travel out of town - grateful for that! Was incredibly responsive to communication, sent photos and updates, and created an easy, smooth process for us. Conveniently located in Menomonie, and love that our dog had a fenced in back yard to run in. Would highly recommend!”
“Amy and Brendan are honestly the best dog sitters we have ever had! I am very particular about who I leave my oldest dog with and they did not let me down! The daily updates with pictures were fantastic! My dog was rarely alone and it was evident that they treated him like a member of their family. I know who my go-to dog sitters are now!”
“Highly recommend, we had a very positive experience using Rover for the first time. Allyson was very prompt in accepting our last minute boarding reservation request and was very flexible. She also sent occasional pictures and updates, which were a pleasant surprise. Our dog appears to have enjoyed her stay; she came home clean, calm, happy and ready for a nap after enjoying her stay.”
About: Having had pets all my life, I really understand how special dogs and cats are. I promise to treat your furry family member with the same care, respect, and love that they would expect at home. I have a flexible schedule and would like to fill my free time. Although I plan to go back to school in January, I’ll still be available for pet sitting. I have a fenced yard where your pup can play freely, and a cozy, smoke-free home perfect for snuggles. Currently, I don't have any pets in my home, and I'm preparing my space to be comfortable, warm, and welcoming for stays.
“Hadyn was amazing with our dog, Marley! She sent multiple updates and pictures throughout the day and took him for multiple walks throughout the day along with other engaging activities. She was such a great pleasure to work with and I highly recommend! We will definitely book again in the future! Marley came home happy and exhausted after his stay!”
“Tiffany was so amazing and sweet with my Furr baby ! She was super flexible with pick up and drop off and even sent me pictures while he stayed with her! Lives in a great area and overall a super amazing person !! This is where you want your pet staying if you are ever traveling !!”
