Personalized care for your dog or cat - Menasha
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Menasha
“This was my first time using Rover (or any kind of pet sitting service) and everything was absolutely flawless. Gina was absolutely fantastic! Rover was an excellent choice, also. I had to rearrange dates with her and she was able to do all the necessary “paperwork “. I simply had to “accept “ changes which made me very happy as I’m not really tech-savvy!! From our dogs first meet and greet to the time I picked him up I was 100% confident in her genuine love and affection for animals. I received updates and photos of our dogs having a great time together regularly. I will definitely be requesting Gina & “Mack”, her adorable Chihuahua anytime I need a pet sitter in the future.”
“Bobbi was absolutely amazing with Franklin! She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she truly loves dogs and treated him like one of her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Zoe love, love, loves going to Bobbie and Clark's, She fits right in with their dogs, huskies, and their family loves on her. I can't say enough how much she enjoys her time at their home.”
“Korri did a great job with our fur-baby!! He gets nervous when we leave him and she worked with him to keep him comfortable for the weekend. Lots of pictures and updates were appreciated! Highly recommend. ?”
“Kristina is always positive and professional. Her confidence and experience makes it easy to leave Ginger with her. We didn't worry at all during our week long vacation and from the pictures and texts from Kristina I think Ginger had as much fun as we did. Ginger is a 9 month old puppy who is kind of high maintenance at times, but Kristina clearly can handle her with no problems. I think we'll schedule some daycare days soon!”
“Chase & Jessica were very welcoming to my Chihuahua, Chip! I appreciated the help with my pup & their updates & flexibility were great as well! Thank you both!! If you're looking for a dog-sitter, don't hesitate with Chase/Jessica!”
“Did an amazing job taking care of my special needs Frenchie (blind). She kept me updated, sent pics and allowed my granddaughter to visit him while he was there. Definitely use again.”
“Emily was fantastic! Our dog loved every minute of being there. She was very communicative during our week long vacation and made sure to send lots of photos of our Pen getting loved on. We will absolutely be booking with Emily for any future trips or just for a small pooch vaca for our dog. We highly recommend!”
“Maria took such great care of our pup while we were away! She sent us pictures with updates, which made us feel connected! I highly recommend Maria for care, we will be booking again for future needs!”
“Morgan had a wonderful time. She has an autoimmune disorder that causes chronic arthritis. They did a great job of caring for her and understanding her needs. Highly recommend.”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Savannah did a wonderful job taking care of our little pooch for two nights. She was very accommodating of our schedule and we greatly appreciated it. We will not hesitate to have her watch him again! Both of our Rover.com experiences so far have been 5 star!”
“Nikki will take excellent care of your pup! Our golden doodle, Luna, stayed with her for two nights. Nikki sent a lot of updates and pictures. She has great backyard for the dogs to run around. Hight recommend!!”
“Cristy took excellent care of our goldendoodle, Luna. Luna loved playing with her dog Duke! They had great time running out the backyard and hanging out on couch. We really appreciated the pictures and updates.”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
About: I have had pets all my life! Including dogs, cats, geckos, and fish. I am super passionate about dogs especially, as is my husband. I have dog sat for numerous families in the past, and would love to put my skills to use by hosting pets, and dog walking! We are an incredibly dog friendly house, where dogs are treated as humans. We have a sweet two year old hound mix named Charlie. He LOVES all people and dogs, and would also love some friends to play with! We have done training classes with him, and are very knowledgeable about dogs. We would love to share our passion with you, and your furry friends! I am also a moderator for an online group as well!
About: Growing up I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember. I have 5 dogs, a cat, bunny, & a few reptiles. I’m a stay at home mom and have vet tech experience. If you need extra care I am more then happy to do what I can to assist your pets needs and have a flexible schedule. If I am caring for them in my home, I have a fenced in back yard for your pup to roam around and get their zoomies out 🐾💜
“Anu and her family are amazing! The care and attention of our little one’s needs are priceless. From the booking to the stay we have been thrilled with Anu’s communication and knowledge of how to make our dog feel comfortable and happy. So glad we found Anu!!!”

Cat caregivers near you - Menasha
“Jada was great with my cat. I can always tell when Lucy receives a lot of attention while we’re gone because she is not yelling (meowing loudly) at us when we arrive home! Jada was also willing to bring in mail, porch packages and do some watering of outdoor plants.”
“Lauren was absolutely fantastic caring for our 3 female cats! Before we even officially booked, she was incredibly responsive, came by to do a meet and greet, and was so kind and warm. We felt so comfortable leaving the cats and our home in her care - great communication, kept their routines (& didn’t think all my notes were crazy), and we loved our photo updates ☺️ The biggest green flag? Our cats were just as relaxed and happy as normal when we got home - it’s like they barely noticed we were gone because Lauren cared for them so wonderfully! Will absolutely be booking Lauren in the future and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing your fur babies to be truly loved and cared for while you’re away!!”
“Olivia was available last minute to watch after our shy kitty Bubba, and she took fantastic care of him. Although he was hiding when she stopped by, she managed to snap a few photos to let us know he was ok, and she even watered our plants while we were away. She's friendly, responsive and caring...everything you need in a pet-sitter! We'll definitely bring her back to care for Bubba when we go out of town in the future :)”
“Chase and Jessica really came through for us regardless of the short notice and length of time we needed care for our cats. They followed my instructions and keep our cats on their usual routine while we were away.”
“We have never boarded our cat before but needed to in order to allow for open house to be held at our home. Korri was communicative, kind, and fair in her pricing. She had an extra room available for our cat who doesn’t always get along with other cats which provided peace of mind leaving our 10yo cat. We received multiple updates and photos every day which further eased our minds. Would definitely book with Korri again!”
“We’ve been having Jessy come every weekday for about a month now to let our girls out. She has been super reliable, communicative and easy to work with. We really appreciate her assistance as we transition to both pet parents working outside of our home.”
“We love having Briana pet sit for our two kitties while we are away. We are confident that they are being well cared for. She is very accommodating and great at taking care of our pets. Thank you Briana!”
“Always appreciate Emma as a sitter! I have rebooked her 5 or so times now and this weekend I had zero phone service where I was, and I was completely confident my pet was okay because she has always been reliable and thorough!”
“We are so lucky to have had Sara as our cat sitter. She did a wonderful job giving us updates and adorable pictures of our buddy while we were gone. This was our first time using Rover and she walked us through the process clearly. When our scheduling needs changed, she was flexible and considerate. I cannot recommend her enough!!!”
“Was away for 5 days, these ladies were FANTASTIC. My first time using rover and I was nervous, but I got detailed write ups, tons of pictures and knew my kitties were in great hands. If I could give them a million stars I would, by the end of the trip the whole family was looking forward to seeing the pics of the cats we got daily. 10/10 I would recommend these lovely humans to anyone worried about their babies when they go out of town!”
About: If your smaller non-shedding dog (up to 40 lbs) does not care for other pets, I'm your sitter! There are no other pets in my house, and I specialize in dogs who do not like other animals. I have owned and loved dogs my entire adult life. In retirement I've chosen not to own one, but I miss those little guys so much and would love to love on your precious pet. I am retired and can fully care for your smaller (up to 40#), potty-trained, non-shedding dog. On weekends in the summer I may talk to you about your friend joining me at my camper. I will provide care for your smaller non-shedding dog without other animals in my home. Perfect for those cuddlers who would rather not have competition for my attention!
“Michelle was lovely to work with and very responsive. She was always forward about what was happening and on time. She definitely loves animals and understands how much we love our pets!”
About: I have part-time pup named Teddie, who you can see in my photos. I cared for my parents' elderly dog for two months, and I occasional provide daily care for another friend's dog. I'm looking forward to making more pet connections, and I hope to meet your animal companions very soon! I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have significant flexibility in my schedule. I will work with you to make sure all your pet's needs are met! I am happy to care for your pets at your home, or mine. We are best set up to care for dogs at our home, with easy access to our backyard and a longer, outdoor leash (no fence). My eleven-year-old enjoys animals as well, and he often scooters with me during doggie walks. I have experience with elderly dogs and anxious dogs.
“Nemiah did a great job caring for our cat while we were away for a week. The daily reports were lovely to get, and she spent time with him so that he would feel comfortable and not feel like he had been abandoned. We will definitely be reaching out to Nemiah again whenever we need to be out of town.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Menasha
“Extremely happy with Bobbie and Clark. Our 6 month old Shepard husky means the world to us and we were confident she was in good hands as the day progressed and we were sent updates. We will definitely be returning to them in the future and we wish we could give them 10 stars on the basis of communication and care for our beloved pet!”
“Emily took such good care of our Obi! Emily and her family took him in like their own! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was very attentive to all our puppy’s needs 😊 🩷 Would highly recommend Emily for all your pets needs!”
“We had a last-minute Rover request, and Bobbi responded quickly and made booking easy. Even though it was a short stay, we could tell our dog had a great time especially with Mercy, their adorable pug! Bobbi shared updates and photos, and Nova seemed to really enjoy their spacious backyard. Bobbi was so kind and welcoming. We’d absolutely recommend her to others!”
“This was a last minute need so it was great he could watch Cody with very short notice. Cody is an older dog and does not take change well, so it was fantastic he was excited to return the next day which means Cody really enjoyed his stay. Great care and communication! Cody was all smiles!”

“My Jojo loved her stay with Maria today! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. I appreciated all the timely communication- even before we arrived. Amazing service. Thank you so much!”
About: Since childhood, I have been responsible for the care of various animals, including dogs, cats, and small animals of diverse species. Among these, dogs hold a special place in my heart as my favorite animal. As a full-time stay-at-home mother, I am constantly at home with my children and dogs. During the summer months, we thoroughly enjoy spending time outdoors. I have a spacious backyard that is not fenced in, but I have a long tie-out if needed for your furry friends. Your pets will be well cared for.
“Kimberly and her sweet son were so kind and welcoming. She was very conscientious of my dog's needs and sent many photos/updates throughout the day. Playtime and trails walks wore her out! She slept the whole way home. Thank you for taking such good care of our Emma!”

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, horses, ducks, and rabbits. I also had a great deal of time with other animals such as cows, and chickens at my Grandpa's dairy farm. One of my past jobs was being a dog sitter, to care for them, and do some training as well. I loved it! 🙂😁 I now have a German Shepard and Husky mix named Apollo, and I love teaching him new things, spending time with him, and of course taking care of him. 🥰❤️ I'm currently working as a house cleaner, and although I love the job, I would like to work some more hours. Sometimes clients cancel or reschedule cleanings resulting in less hours. I'm looking to do this hopefully full time, as I miss working with dogs. 🙂😁 I currently have a huge yard, but I can also give walks if suggested. I'm welcoming any animals except cats due to my boyfriend being allergic. I will do my very best to help any of your fur babies feel at home. 💌😁
“Cristy was amazing! Her home was so cute and tidy. She has a sweet little dog that played so well with my dog whom normally doesn’t care much for others. Cristy was kind, communicative, and flexible.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was ten. From a litter of beagle puppies to King & Queen to Sandy our cocker spaniel and Pepper the Schnauzer. In married life I had golden retriever and multiple Tri Shelties. Also have the pleasure of grand dogs to care for occasionally. My last Sheltie Cooper passed 10/2020 and I would love to care for your precious fur baby. I am an active retired female with lots of time & energy to care for your loved one. My hours are very open and I can be flexible with schedule I have a nice backyard with long leads/leash to connect pet indoors before letting out. Also very nice trail walks in area. I enjoy keeping your dog in good shape with a little exercise and a calm relaxing home to come back to
“Highly recommend Chelsea! She was very easy to communicate with and was able to take Voss on short notice when we had to be in town unexpectedly. My dog had a fun day playing with her dogs in the fenced back yard and house. She even trimmed his nails for us which was really great. We’ll be back if we need care in Oshkosh again!”

“Love using Sarah for dog sitting! She is so flexible and I can always count on her with last minute bookings! Frankie leaps out of my arms to go greet her family and pups ❤️ Will continue bringing frankie ❤️”
“I would highly recommend Frank And Julie as your next Dog Sitters. After being referred to them, when I reached out, I had let Frank know I was having a hard time locating them in the Rover app. He went out of his way to help me get things going. Once we were able to set up a time for an initial meet and greet, due to a really bad storm that was rolling in, they were flexible with changing the time for us. That’s when we got to see the fantastic location (their house and property), where they take care of the dogs. While we were getting to know them, they were getting to know our dogs, and asked lots of great questions to make sure they understood how we approach our pups. In addition to their fenced in yard, they have acres and acres of land and are very happy to take dogs out for walks to let them burn their energy. A couple days later, our dog spent the day with them and everything went really really well, and our dogs were so very tired out when we got them back. We even got lots of pictures while we were gone for the day which we really appreciated. Frankie and Julie really understand what it is to be a pet owner and strive to treat our dogs as their own. Again, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for day-to-day dog sitting, and we are looking forward to using them for an upcoming vacation.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Menasha
About: I have owned several cats and rabbits over the years. I have also pet sit for dogs, reptiles, fish, cats and rodents on many occasions for each animal listed. I love working with animals I am available anytime of day. I am available weekend or weekdays, morning, afternoon or evening for walking. I am also available for overnight dog sitting in my home if they are good with small animals. I work about eating shift schedule. So I could go five days and not work a single shift, or I could work several times within a timeframe. I work four shifts a week and they could be first second or third and they’re different every week. There are daytime where I’m home, and also daytime where I work for 8-9 hours at the most. I have a tie out and love taking walks. I don’t work a 9-5 job so I am home a lot during the day. I would love to dog sit in my home.
About: Growing up we never not had a dog of any size or a cat. We also had lots of other furry animals like hamsters, ferrets, guinea pigs, and chinchillas plus fishes and turtles. I’m comfortable with any animal from fur to scales ! I have a German Shepherd who I recused at 6 months and a golden that I got as a puppy , they are my whole world :) I’m usually the first person someone calls to take care of their animals! I can’t wait to meet your best friend/friends :) My fulltime job is pretty flexible and good hours leaving me able to care for your pets at any time of the day and give them all the lovins! I treat all animals as if they are my own! My pets are my children and I would only want the best care for them just like you would :)
“Megan and Kevin have done an amazing job with my girl! They are always reliable and are nice enough to to fit late evening dog walks in because I work long night shifts. They have also taken in her for overnight care and treat her like their own!! I travel for work and have worked with a lot of Rovers, Megan and Kevin are the best ones I’ve had!”
“Madalyn is consistent and flexible on scheduling walks! She was so kind to my dog when she realized he was scared of a thunderstorm! She sat with him and came back later to walk him when the storm was over.”
About: I have had pets all of my life including cats, dogs, fish & guinea pigs. I have taken care of pets (dogs & cats) for friends and family members while they are away. I will treat your fur baby like it is my own. I volunteer with a rescue in my free time. I enjoy watching fur babies multiple times & spending time with them. I'm available Friday evenings, Saturday & Sundays. I work during the week and I could assist during the week but I would need to discuss further with the needs for your fur babies. I can follow the directions that are given to care for your fur babies in your home. I am currently unable to offer boarding in my home.
“Briana came out and walked my dog for me for a week while I had longer working hours. Duke loved her, she was prompt and had great communication! I so appreciated her coming out of her way to get him out and will absolutely be booking again!”
“Sadie is very happy with her walks with Janet. She let's her sniff the tall grass for smells. Fun!! We are very appreciative of Janet. Sadie gets her walks when we aren't able to and is very happy and tired.”
About: Hello! My name is Emilie and I have been caring for animals my entire life. I received my first dog (a lab) as a birthday gift at 5 years old and loved every minute of it. Since then, our family has gotten two more dogs (another lab and a Lhasa Maltese) and two bunnies. I love animals so much I started working at a veterinary clinic. Here I dealt with a large variety of animals, from ferrets to birds, including dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, needs, and temperaments. I am PetTech (PetSaver) certified and trained in CPR, First aid, and care and can provide the certification upon request. I have an extensive background in administering many different medications (as well as oral vaccines). I also have trained several dogs in the past. Many around me know of my passion for animals, thus being how I became known as the neighborhood animal sitter, sitting nearly a half dozen neighborhood pets alone. I have cared for and pet-sat neighborhood animals including dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and fish for a number of years. I share a deep connection and understanding with every animal I meet, being the reason I am on this app. To spend more time doing what I love- meeting and providing top care for your fur babies. I am self-employed, so I welcome day time drop-in visits requests. I find working with animals to be very rewarding and fulfilling to me. I am looking to set up reoccurring daily and/or weekly pet care. I would love to get to know several animals very well and provide them quality care on a consistent basis. However, I am also open to short term care situations. For any other requests or questions, Please let me know. If you would like pet care for a time that I am not available on my calendar, please contact me to see what we can do. As of now, I do not offer pet care at my house. However, I am open to come to your house to keep your animal relaxed and comfortable in their own home. When at your home, your animal will receive the most exceptional care and treatment possible. I treat everyone's animal as if they are my own. I also treat your home with respect, ensuring I follow your directions as well as clean up after both myself and your pet. If you allow, I would love to spoil your pet with their favorite treats, activities, and mental stimulation/engagement. I enjoy providing picture updates for my clients. Living in Appleton, I can make just about any time work with a notice in advance. In hopes of doing this nearly full time, I would love to fill my week completely with pet sitting Monday-Friday. Having owned pets as well as having worked at a vet clinic, I prioritize keeping a close eye on each critter I watch. I know how important each individal animal's wellbeing is and how quickly that could change. I feel confident that I am always hyper-aware of animals' saftey and keep the closest eye on them and their health, as I know what to watch for.
About: I have experience with pets of all ranges, from infant to elder! I am attentive to detail and ensure all pets are treated like the unique individuals that they are. My schedule is fairly flexible! I’m most regularly open evenings and weekends but also could do early morning care! I’m happy to accommodate your pets unique needs. I will abide by all rules within client's home to ensure the utmost best and safest experience for their pet(s)! Safety is priority number one!
“Deahndra is amazing with our 3 dogs, thats right, 3 dogs! She’s been walking then since May and they absolutely love her. She’s always there when we need her, almost as if she’s on call. My 3 dogs not only enjoy the walks but I’ve seen improvements on how well they walk for me- it’s a win win! My absolute favorite is that Deahndra takes pictures of my fur babies while I’m at work. Deahndra is always keeping me in the loop with what’s going on and how much fun they’re having(without me :( )”
About: Hi! I just recently moved to the Appleton area after college and no longer have a dog at home. I grew up with dogs my whole life and have loved getting to take care of them. Taking my dogs on walks was one of my favorite things to do in the summer. To help missing my childhood dog, I’d love to hang out with yours! I’m a teacher during the school year, so I have plenty of free time during the summer months. I’m available during the week and most weekends to hang out with your dogs. I can’t wait to play with and care for your dog at your home, the same way you would. Please let me know any specific things I should include for your dog specifically.
About: I have had all kinds of pets through my childhood from snakes to cats and dogs. I have taken many class on pet care throughout high school and have done my own research so I can give the animals I watch over nothing but the best. I have been watching family and friends pets for many years, anywhere from a day to a week to months. I have handled animals of all ages as well, from kittens and puppies to elderly dogs and snakes. Through work I interact with different and new pets every day. My work is flexible so I have a lot of time to run around and stop in and take care of any pet whenever needed. I can walk and play with your pets, just stop in and feed, or stay over so they are not alone. Im able to make sure your pet have enough entertainment and enrichment as well as be comfortable in sometimes uncomfortable and stressful situations.
About: I've cared for my black lab for 15 years. I grew up with a golden retriever. I have dog sat for neighbors and family members. Generally love animals. I am a teacher looking for summer work. I am available during the week and most weekends. I look forward to helping you while keeping your pets safe. Just like teaching, I am prepared to keep your dog engaged. Whether it is with walking, playing fetch, or swimming in the lake, your pet will love the attention.
“Such a great couple! Jessica and Chase worked together to accommodate our schedule. They kept in contact and were punctual. Our dog loves them and I would definitely recommend them, but would like to keep them all for myself!”
About: I have a lifetime of experience in loving animals, I’ve had dogs my entire life. I am loving, gentle and kind and will care for your family members as you would! I have had some medical issues so am currently not working and am available whenever your pets need a sitter! I have open an availability currently. I have a big back yard, no fence but enough of an area to safely play outside on long leash if that’s an option for your animals.
About: Although I currently don't have a dog, I have had the pleasure of sharing in the lives of several dogs over the years. I think both dogs and cats have such a special way of contributing to our lives and I would love the opportunity to share in your dogs lives when you are unable to be there whether it be to get them some exercise or just give them some time and attention. I am active and would have no trouble taking your dog for walks or to the park if you wanted. I also don't mind the cold weather so you don't need to worry about winter coming up. I hope to hear from you soon and for you to be a satisfied customer! My husband and I work together doing home improvement and 'handyman' type odd jobs, which makes my schedule very flexible. I can adjust my errands and work appointments around the needs of your pet. I am very careful when letting dogs outside that they are on a leash or there is a fenced yard if I am at your home. I would never want for a pet to get out that I could not get them back.
About: I’ve been volunteering at animals shelters for 10+ years and have experience with sensitive pets or unique regimens. I’ve also volunteered at the National Aquarium in an animal husbandry role, so I’m a quick learner if you have pets such as reptiles that need unique care. I grew up with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, mice, snakes, hamsters, chinchillas, and a frog named Fred. I probably enjoy the walks more than the pups and I’ve never met a cat I didn’t like! My name is Melissa and I’m the proud human to three cats - Rosie, Griffon, & Minerva. I became the human to my first cat when I was 6 months old and maintained a wonderful bond with my Princess until she died at the old age of 21. I will treat any companion like they are my own and continue to love them in your absence. I’m always looking for a companion to go on adventures with, if your dog is up for the challenge. But if your cat prefers to nap together - or even ignore me entirely, I can do that, too!
About: I’ve spent several years providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection to keep pets happy and relaxed while their families are away. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment so every pet feels comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly rhythm, especially since I work from home three days a week. On those WFH days, I’m able to offer flexible, consistent attention—perfect for pets who enjoy companionship, regular check‑ins, or a steady routine. I build feeding times, walks or play sessions, potty breaks, and general wellness checks around my work blocks, making sure pets get the care and interaction they need throughout the day. On the days I’m in the office, I plan visits intentionally to keep each pet’s routine stable. Whether it’s morning care, midday enrichment, or evening check‑ins, I make sure every pet gets predictable, comforting attention. Because I’m used to balancing a hybrid schedule with pet responsibilities, I’m very organized and reliable about maintaining consistent care all week long. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine, environment, and comfort exactly the way they’re used to. I follow the owner’s instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, medication needs, and any household rules—so pets feel secure and stress‑free. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, whether they need extra play, quiet companionship, or a slow, gentle approach. I keep the home tidy and respectful, making sure food and water areas stay clean, litter boxes or potty routines are maintained, and any messes are handled right away. I also pay attention to small details like closing gates, locking doors, turning lights on or off as requested, and keeping the home feeling lived‑in and safe. Throughout the stay, I send updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing.

“This was my first time using Rover (or any kind of pet sitting service) and everything was absolutely flawless. Gina was absolutely fantastic! Rover was an excellent choice, also. I had to rearrange dates with her and she was able to do all the necessary “paperwork “. I simply had to “accept “ changes which made me very happy as I’m not really tech-savvy!! From our dogs first meet and greet to the time I picked him up I was 100% confident in her genuine love and affection for animals. I received updates and photos of our dogs having a great time together regularly. I will definitely be requesting Gina & “Mack”, her adorable Chihuahua anytime I need a pet sitter in the future.”
“Bobbi was absolutely amazing with Franklin! She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she truly loves dogs and treated him like one of her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Korri did a great job with our fur-baby!! He gets nervous when we leave him and she worked with him to keep him comfortable for the weekend. Lots of pictures and updates were appreciated! Highly recommend. ?”
“Did an amazing job taking care of my special needs Frenchie (blind). She kept me updated, sent pics and allowed my granddaughter to visit him while he was there. Definitely use again.”
“Emily was fantastic! Our dog loved every minute of being there. She was very communicative during our week long vacation and made sure to send lots of photos of our Pen getting loved on. We will absolutely be booking with Emily for any future trips or just for a small pooch vaca for our dog. We highly recommend!”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Nikki will take excellent care of your pup! Our golden doodle, Luna, stayed with her for two nights. Nikki sent a lot of updates and pictures. She has great backyard for the dogs to run around. Hight recommend!!”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
About: I have had pets all my life! Including dogs, cats, geckos, and fish. I am super passionate about dogs especially, as is my husband. I have dog sat for numerous families in the past, and would love to put my skills to use by hosting pets, and dog walking! We are an incredibly dog friendly house, where dogs are treated as humans. We have a sweet two year old hound mix named Charlie. He LOVES all people and dogs, and would also love some friends to play with! We have done training classes with him, and are very knowledgeable about dogs. We would love to share our passion with you, and your furry friends! I am also a moderator for an online group as well!
About: Growing up I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember. I have 5 dogs, a cat, bunny, & a few reptiles. I’m a stay at home mom and have vet tech experience. If you need extra care I am more then happy to do what I can to assist your pets needs and have a flexible schedule. If I am caring for them in my home, I have a fenced in back yard for your pup to roam around and get their zoomies out 🐾💜
“Anu and her family are amazing! The care and attention of our little one’s needs are priceless. From the booking to the stay we have been thrilled with Anu’s communication and knowledge of how to make our dog feel comfortable and happy. So glad we found Anu!!!”
“This was 7 months old, Patsys first sleepover. We had a reference for Frank and Julie being excellent pet sitters. We received photos and a video of her time there which helped ease an uneasy mind. Patsy was well cared for and will be returning to Frank and Julie’s. We totally agree with the reference we received, they are really the best pet sitters.”
“Caitlin & Samuel were amazing with our dog! They provided pictures every day and were very flexible when we had to adjust our drop off time. We will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Samantha was great. Easy to schedule a meet and greet as well as drop off and pick up time. Very very responsive when I wanted to check in on our pup or had questions. Max came home happy. Will definitely rebook and recommend. Thanks Samantha!”
“Chelsea is Simply Awesome!! She loved on our 2 puppies for a long 10 days while our family enjoyed a very needed vacation. She sent pics and videos each day while we were away!! She was there to comfort our pups when they missed us❤️ We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our pups were in Great hands!! We will be looking up Chelsea for all of our future needs!! Thank you, Chelsea❤️”
“Kelley was great mom dog for our Golden Retriever Riley. She sent updates & photos during his stay & helped us out by keeping him an extra day when our flight was canceled. I would recommend her & would use her again.”
“Daniel was fantastic! We choose him to dog sit out German shepherd for her first over night not at home. We did a meet and greet first and then she stayed over for the weekend. He made me feel very comfortable and even sent me some photos of my pup! Timber really seemed to enjoy her stay and the adventures (walks) they went on! We will definitely keep Daniel in mind when we need another dog sitter.”
