“Brandi is AMAZING!! She has training and years of experience with dogs. She is gentle and kind, and 100% trustworthy. She is so fun, and sent updates everyday while we were on vacation. I can’t say enough about Brandi. We were so thankful that she loved our pup while we were out of town.”
“Christy and her family took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was on vacation. This was the longest I have had to leave them with non-family members, so I was a little nervous to leave them. But after our meet and greet, I felt totally comfortable with my decision to have her watch them. She sent daily updates and my babies were happy when I picked them up!”
“This was our first time using Rover. The daily pictures they sent showed us how relaxed and comfortable our dog was. Shawn and Joey made this a great experience for us and we did not have to worry about our dog while we were away.”
“Marilyn was amazing!! When Nikko first met her, he instantly fell in love with her. She was great with communication and providing picture updates of him. He was spoiled with walks and play time. Highly recommend her!”
“My first time boarding my 15 year old 1/2 blind dog. Somewhere like this. He walked around and was comfortable right away! Usually he is upset if I leave him home for a short time. Not this time he barely took time to say goodbye to me! This made it so much easier going on vacation. Thank you for taking such good care of him!!”
“Bruce loves spending time with Tammie! She takes him on lots of walks and gives lots of love. In addition, I was on a work trip and my flight was canceled last night, then delayed today. Tammie graciously managed the uncertainty and made the situation less stressful for me, knowing that Bruce was in good hands. I’m forever grateful that Tammie treats Bruce like her own ❤️”
“Morgan was amazing! She was very flexible with our timing needs, and so excited to care for Panzer. I appreciated the picture she sent about 2 hours into the day. I relaxed, knowing our dog was fitting in, and not stressed about missing us. Actually, I’m sure he was kept so busy he didn’t have a chance to miss us. Highly recommend Morgan!”
“Andrea was wonderful. My dog Gracie has severe anxiety and it wasn’t going to work, unfortunately. I ended up having to leave work and take her home. I felt bad for Andrea, but she reassured me she was fine with everything. Some dogs just don’t do well in other people’s homes. Anita”
“Nick is caring and active Boarder. He made Nikki and I comfortable with our first "sitter" experience and Nikki really took to him. She seemed really happy with him and Im really grateful for that. Im relieved that I can get away and trust that my dear dear fur child is cared for with such detail. Very grateful we know Nick!!”
“Brooke was OUTSTANDING with our pup! Daily updates with pictures, tons of lovings and cuddles, and plenty of walks while we were away. We brought home one very happy boy! I highly recommend her when you're in need of the best out there to take care of your fur baby!”
“When I picked Abby up she was relaxed. She usually cries for the first 15 minuets. I think she really enjoyed her stay with Megan and the kids. Thank you so much. It was so nice to go somewhere and know Abby was taken care of.”
“We are so grateful we found Kris to watch our Pomeranian last minute! We got lots of pictures of him at his visit and it sounded and looked like he has an absolute blast! We will be recommending Kris to family and friends and definitely using her again!”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was very young. I’ve watched friends pets when they go out of town and I currently have my own cats and a dog! I’m currently only working part time and from home, so I will have plenty of time to spoil your pups with all the love and attention they deserve! I have a tie out for potty time, as well as extra leashes for walks since I don’t have a fenced in yard! I also have a friendly pup that would love to keep yours company and play!
“Kara and Ben took great care of our dog, and on short notice! We appreciated their daily updates and photos. Our dog had a great time with their family! We would highly recommend Kara and Ben.”
“Amazing! A home away from home for my fur baby, Shianne. Brooke is very attentive, knowledgeable, caring, detail-oriented with outstanding and professional communication. Loved the daily updates and pictures. Remy and Shianne formed the most adorable bond. Already looking forward to our next stay!”
“Eleanor loved staying with Laurie again. She takes wonderful care of dogs and sends pictures/updates! I can tell that she really cares about the animals when they are staying with her and wants them to be so comfortable…Thank you again!”

“Julia did a great job! She showed up at the agreed upon times and did exactly what was asked of her. Very grateful to have someone reliable to take care of my kitties when I am out of town.”
“Ashley is delightful. She is so passionate about cats, which made me feel really good about leaving our two senior kitties with her for our first time ever getting a cat sitter. She takes a lot of care to do what she's been tasked with. Definitely recommend her!”
“Skylar is awesome and very kind I immediately felt comfortable & trust in her, which felt great as I can enjoy a much needed getaway! Skylar, handled things really well with both my cats and household. Apparently it didn’t take long for my cats to sense Skylar could be trusted and came out for her! I can’t express my gratitude enough to finally having someone like Skylar☺️ Thank you Rover for the connection with Skylar! Thank you Skylar for your compassion and your love for animals because Dusti & Graci knew it & I could see it!!”
“Sydney watched my cat Promise in her home while I traveled for 2 weeks. Promise was very happy with her. She sent me regular updates. Promise is an only pet so tends to be a little territorial with other cats. Sydney has 2 cats. They were very well behaved around Promise & Sydney kept them all happy. She is a very good pet sitter and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch their furry friend.”
“Haley was superb as a pet visitor. She arrived everyday at the appropriate time as requested by us. Took photos of our beloved kitty and fed and looked after Mary, our semi-feral cat. It's amazing she was able to get the photos since Mary is so skittish, but she did and we loved seeing them while we were away. Haley was as nice in person as she was responsible and punctual. We highly recommend her and hope she is available next time we need a pet visitor!”
“Melissa did a fantastic job caring for Oliver! I looked forward to receiving her updates each day and seeing the adorable photos she managed to capture of my boy :) I could tell Oliver was in great hands and enjoyed his time with her.”
“Becky was so wonderful! She stopped in twice a day to watch our cat Percy while we were away and she took great care of him. She went above and beyond, playing with him, sending updates, and gave us complete peace of mind that he was being well taken care of. Percy definitely misses her since we have come home, he seems even more playful after her visits. We are so thankful to Becky and highly recommend her!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities. My cat sitting experience includes feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime and medications when needed. I will ensure your cat feels safe and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over a decade and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My services include dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting, and I always treat every pet as if they were my own. In addition to caring for pets for family, friends, and clients, I recently provided ongoing care for a dog twice a week over several months. I’ve worked with both small and large dogs, as well as a variety of cats, and have experience handling different energy levels, temperaments, and routines. As a former cat foster, I’m especially attentive to each animal’s individual needs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and compassionate care. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, companionship, feeding, medication reminders, or simply a reassuring presence while you’re away, I’m committed to keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I am a full time online student, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most needs. Just let me know what’s best for you! I will ensure to follow all instructions given whether that’s food restrictions, crating your dog, being outside or playing for x amount of minutes etc.
About: I’ve had two dogs growing up, a mini boxer and a French bulldog. I’ve cared for them all my life. I have bathed, walked, fed, and gave them so much love. We got our Puppy when I was 14, so I have a lot of experience caring for puppies as well. I didn’t grow up in a home with cats, but I love them too. I’ve had lots of experience cat sitting and get along with them well too! I am a masters student at UW-Stevens Point, in the Natural Resources department. I will not be able to provide services mid day Fridays or Mondays, but I am flexible the rest of the week! I will always follow your directions and keep a good baseline of contact with you! I am not allowed to board pets in my apartment, but I will always be respectful of your space as well.

“Brandi is amazing! I needed a sitter at the last minute until my husband was released from the hospital and we live 1 and 1/2 hour’s from hospital so we were in a jam. Brandi was so nice and accommodating! My dog Auggie had a great time! It’s just he needed. Thanks again Brandi! ❤️”
“Daisy loves her visits with Christy. I feel she is well taken care of with Christy being home during the day. Christy is very accommodating and has even picked Daisy up at our home.”
“Absolutely amazing experience. Lovely family..so animal friendly. Our baby loves going to Morgan's home. She had the ability to learn how to be gentle with littles...run like crazy outside and play nice with other pups”
“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!”
“Nick and his wife took excellent care of my two dogs! They sent pictures with updates throughout the day. I will definitely use them again if the need arises. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”

I am self employed as a farmer during the summer but off during the wonter I have a newly updated 100-year-old home with two rooms that kitties can stay in if they are shy and don't play well with other cats. Dogs I keep with me at all times. I
“I am so glad that we found Becky to care for our dog Josie while we are away! Josie absolutely loved her stay and we could tell she was happy, very comfortable and well-loved! Josie has special needs and Becky’s compassion and care is exactly what we, and Josie needed! She is the best!”
“Great place for day care! My dog had so much fun he was so excited to go and didn’t want to leave at the end of the day. Very communicative through the process! Would recommend.”

“Very last minute booking that she was very responsive to. She was flexible and patient in integrating her dogs, who Zuma loved. Zuma can be a nervous girl but Arianna really helped her feel comfortable. She's also great at training and her dogs are well behaved, which is helpful for a nervous dog like Zuma. I got lots of updates and pictures, she even took Zuma on a nice hike/run and she was well tuckered out after. An amazing price for the time and dedication she put into hosting Zuma. Will definitely use again if I'm in the area!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old, from my own family dogs to friends dogs while away. I have also worked in boarding kennels and was a wildlife rehabilitator for over 5 years! I have extensive knowledge in a medical background so giving your pets any medication won't be a problem. I understand that every dog has a unique routine and I know that following this routine will make them feel the most comfortable! I have experience with cats and exotic pets.

I am a stay at home mom so pet care fits into my routine easily. My schedule is extremely flexible but I will need to bring my children with me I can accommodate any routine that they are used to. If that means kenneling them when I leave or they only like a certain route to be walked along, I can do it!
