“Laura and her family provided the best home away from home for Charlie. They made sure he was stimulated, brought him with them during their family activities, and encouraged play between their cute dog snd ours. Laura communicated regularly with us and updated us on how Charlie was doing. As a puppy, Charlie was probably a pest, but Laura and family was so good to him. We’d love to have future dog stays with Laura”
“We left our two pups with Ty while we went on a 5 day vacation. We were able to meet and greet before hand and it was really nice to see how great Ty is with dogs. His yard is made for dogs to play! Ty kept in touch throughout the dogs stay with texts and pictures and we came home to happy dogs! Thank you Ty!”
“Karlie took great care of my pup during his stay. He got along well with her dog as well. They got a lot of both play and nap time together! He also came home with a cute bandana! (Thanks again for that). She is responsive, kind and truly loves to care for animals.”
“Kirsten and Kaleb have our Holly amazing care while we were gone for almost two weeks. They sent pictures every day and were so flexible with what we needed, even offering to keep Holly am extra day when we weren't sure we would get back on time. Holly doesn't always get along with other dogs but she loved their dog, Beau!”
“What a great experience! Lauren communicates well and shred lots of pictures. Buddy got along with her dogs. Best of all Buddy felt comfortable enough to eat. Highly recommend Lauren.”
“Jenny was phenomenal. She’s very flexible on times of pick up and drop off. She sent multiple pictures of Wiley having fun running around and playing. He was more energetic on pick up and even seemed as if he wished to stay longer. Both of her dogs were playful and accepted Wiley into their home with out any issues. Both Wiley and I are extremely pleased with this experience, and can’t wait until the next time Jenny can watch him again when I need to be out of town.”

“Ambrosius had a lot of fun with her walks and doggy play! She came home and slept amazing. She was very happy and even got so comfortable she took a nap (rare for her at others houses). Thank you so much for making my puppy happy and feel loved.”
“Angela was excellent with my dog, Vaida! Vaida struggles adjusting to new surroundings, but Angela was a pro with her. Angela provided consistent communication & I was able to stay updated throughout the week. It was great to know Vaida was in good hands.”
About: Since I was a young girl I've cared for cats and dogs in various settings. I've volunteered at humane societies, I've worked as a Vet Tech, was a supervisor at a daycare/boarding facility. I can administer insulin and other medications. Minor training experience in a professional setting. Can handle puppies to seniors. I will have plenty of time to devote to your pets, who really are our children. I am home a majority of the time with my own pets.

I will play and treat your pets as my own!
“Our Sweet Bella struggles with separation anxiety. We needed to find daycare for her while we were visiting family in La Crescent. Ty did an amazing job at working with her. He was flexible, patient, and did what he could to make her feel comfortable. He kept us informed with how she was doing and was prompt at responding to any messages.”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous but my overall experience was positive with AJ. We have a 1 year old mixed breed dog that is very playful and happy around pretty much everyone. We met in a park near AJ’s home and he was promptly on time and communicated well. I asked several questions about the plan for the day and everything seemed reasonable to me. For me personally I just wanted someone that would keep my dog active and happy for the afternoon, also sneak in the occasional nap is okay too. When the day was over we met in the park again and (on time) and my dog was happy to see me. Thumbs up!”

About: I have always had pets in my home my whole life both dogs and cats I am more of a dog person but I absolutely love caring for all animals and I know how difficult it can be depending on the animal my parents most recent dog was a handful he was in and out of several homes before finding his way to ours because of he’s very energetic and sometimes violent behavior but we turned him to a sweetie with time and good training. At first he was rather aggressive towards me and was very difficult to train because of how long he had gone without training which taught me a lot of tricks to deal with a difficult and aggressive dog. I love this job and I hope your pet will enjoy my company as much as I’ll enjoy theirs. I have bathed dogs helped bathe a cat with flees and I’m down to learn anything if you’ll help show me. I do this full time so I am usually always free to offer the most reliable and consistent pet care experience for your pet and I’m always available unless I’m watching other pets. I’d love to do repeat visits to build a better relationship with you and your pet. I do the absolute best of my ability to ensure that your dog feels safe and happy when with me and I hope after meeting me you’re pet is excited to see me again.
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life. Growing up my family had a small hobby farm where we cared for many animals.

My dog has never met someone he doesn't love, and will run/play until he can't stand anymore! Plenty of room for exercise and play!
“I don’t even know where to begin. Jaimie is an outstanding, compassionate human being with the patience of a goddess. She took on my two 10 month old Black Labs, Duke and Eli like they were her own. She was so welcoming and kind when I got there and this was my boys first stay away from me. They loved her, her husband and their dog. I received almost hourly updates with photos and she didn’t even known but they have GPS collars on and it showed they walked with her, 22,000 steps. They were happy, well fed, loved and exhausted. Jaimie, you are amazing….keep up all the good energy and thank u again. We will be back!”

About: I have always loved animals and taking care of them. I have had my two dogs for 13 years and sadly, one of them passed away recently. I had other pets before that as well. I frequently watch, feed, play with, walk, and let out other people’s dogs and care for their cats. I cherish my time with animals, and I will treat your pet like my own by giving them the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently working 3 days a week. 7am-5:15 pm on Tuesdays, 12pm-5pm on Wednesdays, and 7am-about 4:45pm on Thursdays. I do get an hour for lunch, so I can swing over to the house for your pet if they can’t be alone all day. Unfortunately, my landlord only allows pets that are okayed by them, so I cannot have your pet at my house. But I can come to you and care for your pet(s). With pet sitting in your home, I can spend the night there or do nighttime care and morning care. I can also come multiple times a day and potentially stay all day on the weekend.
About: I have had multiple breeds of dogs or cats my whole life. I love all sorts of animals. They are more than a pet, they are family to me. I am working mom that just enjoys helping others out by watching their pets while they are out of town. I work typically 8am to 5 pm Tuesday through Saturdays and am available Sunday and Mondays any time. I am flexible. Each pet is different, but typically I make sure the pet is fed and has water. I allow for play time and depending on the weather, for dogs I will take for walks or play outside.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have cared for all kinds, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. My family has always been full of pet lovers and our home has always welcomed animals of all shapes and sizes. Growing up,I learned how to care for pets kindly, patiently, and responsibly. I currently have a cat of my own, and she truly is my pride and joy. I also regularly care for the pets of friends, coworkers, and family members when they’re out of town or need extra help. I’m a huge animal lover and have a very soft spot for pets. I truly care deeply about their well-being. I’m especially attentive to making sure animals feel safe, comfortable and loved. I would love to provide that same level of care and peace of mind for you and your pets! I work full-time, but have the option to work from home whenever needed, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m especially available after 4 PM, but I’m happy to make other times work as well. I can bring my work computer with me if needed and take breaks as I please, so I’m able to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Your pet safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow care instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised, secure, and stress-free. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any special needs they may have. My home is calm, clean, and pet friendly. I make sure doors and windows are secured, remove any potential hazards, and provide plenty of space for pets to relax and feel at home. I’m very attentive during walks and outings and always use leashes, unless otherwise instructed. I treat every pet as if they were my own and worked hard to build trust so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident in my care.

About: I've taken care of a variety of dogs since I was very young. I grew up with labs and I am very comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I took care of my yellow lab/retriever mix, Blue, for so many years; taking her on long walks, giving her baths, making sure she got along with our neighbor dogs. I also helped out taking care of my neighbor dogs from time to time. After my dog died at the age of 15, my family didn't think we would get another dog. 7 years ago, we got a new puppy, his name is Brooks, and he is a yellow lab. He is very different than our old dog. He has lots of energy, he has ran away a couple times but always came back or we found him, and we lived on 2 acres of land so that helped. He is our first inside dog, so he loves cuddles, treats, sleeping, playing catch and sneaking downstairs where he is not supposed to be. I have lots of experience with dogs and I appreciate and love them very much! I am currently working at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse, so I have the summer off. During the school year, I have Fridays off and I am done by 3pm the other days. On Mondays and Wednesdays I have slower mornings. I can help out throughout the day and on weekends. I live in an apartment building but there is an area with lots of grass and next to the building and around the area. My building doesn’t allow pets so I am not able to house pets at my place, but I can always talk to my landlord.
About: Hi all! I’m one of those, I love animals more than people types. (No offense to any of you) ☺️ I ugly cry when I see an animal get hurt on TV or in the movies. My mom told me that when I was younger, I used to feed all the ants on our patio bread and my most infamous rescues were saving a one-winged fly and rescuing a bee from drowning in a puddle. *proud moments for me* 😁 I have always had pets growing up, both dogs and cats and several other critters. I currently own 3 dogs that are rescues. I have fostered dogs plus taken care of my friend’s pets and I have experience with pets of all ages including senior and blind dogs as well. The reason I joined Rover is because I have a passion for not only helping animals but people as well. Thank you for taking your time to read this and please reach out if I can help! ❤️ 🐾 As of right now, I am free every day and I am willing to try work with your schedule. Please reach out if you have any specific questions. 🐾 At this time I am not currently caring for any pets in my home due to my three dogs but I also feel that it’s best for a pet to stay in their own home if at all possible. They are way more comfortable and happy in their own space plus it’s easier for them to stick to their normal routine at home. I prefer to go by their normal routine if at all possible. I will discuss specifics for each individual animal as we know they are all different and have their own unique personalities. Together we will find out what works best for both you and them. 🐾

About: My husband, Chris, and I love meeting and caring for dogs! We picked up Rover as a side job so we could spend some extra time caring for and playing with a variety of pooches. We are a great option if you want your fur family member to be loved on, taken on adventures, played with, and in constant companionship while you’re gone. We’ll make sure to send you updates and pictures if you’d like, and guarantee to treat your pet as our own. Between my husband and I, we always have someone at home caring for your doggo! This works especially great for those pets that are used to always being with someone. We try to keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible to keep them comfortable and happy in a new environment. Let us know what your furry friend likes to do, and we will accommodate!

About: I’ve spent the past two years dog-sitting for several families, caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I handle walking, feeding, playtime, and grooming, making sure each dog feels happy, safe, and loved. I also helped organize a dog adoption event at my hometown dog park to promote responsible pet care and help puppies find forever homes. I’m a college student with weekends free, so I can dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m flexible and happy to follow your pet’s routine to make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away. I follow all care instructions closely, supervise pets at all times, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home. I provide regular feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection to keep pets relaxed and stress-free. I treat every pet like family and work to create a calm, loving environment while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates to ensure peace of mind.
About: I have been working with animals professionally since I was 13. I worked at the Wisconsin Humane Society for 8 years, walking & playing with dogs, and socializing other animals such as cats and rabbits. I have worked as an “Animal Wrangler” at summer camp, tending to new puppies, reptiles, small mammals, etc. around camp! I have lots of experience as a pet sitter for family and friends, and I’ve also been taking care of my own pets my whole life: dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, snakes, you name it! My 2 kitties (Bella and Luna), crested gecko (Rango), and cornsnake (Pabu aka Mr Noodle) are my life. I call them my kids - I’ll treat your pets like I treat my own. I work a regular 8 - 5 on weekdays, so I’ll be available for visits in the evening, and I’m available full time most weekends. Message me and we’ll work something out! I have 2 very friendly cats who have lived with 2 dogs their whole lives up until now, a friendly cornsnake, and adorable created gecko. My fiancé and I call them our kids. We adore all animals and will give your babies some extra love. I don’t have dogs of my own here, so I’d love to be able to take care of yours, for both our sakes! 😊
About: I have always been into taking care of dogs. Either it being my parents dogs, siblings dog, friends dogs, or anybody in need.. I have always been interested. With being a second year college student, I am really just looking to make sure dogs get the love and treatment they need! (Especially because I can’t have a dog of my own) With being a full time college student, I am quite busy, but can normally fit things in throughout the day. I am extremely flexible and will definitely be more flexible over summers! If you are curious about a time, just ask! I always make sure the dog is in the best environment it can be! I love making sure that the dog is always well exercised, so that when it is back home it can just relax for the rest of the day!
About: Hi there! My name is Brookelynn, and I’m a passionate dog lover and experienced dog walker and boarder. I have been working with dogs for 6 years, and I truly believe that they are some of the most loving and loyal animals out there. I recently got married, and my husband, Josh, occasionally assists me with dog care during the boarding process only as a reliable helping hand when needed—he’s just as loving and attentive with animals as I am. At times, he may also assist with meet-and-greets or pickups related to boarding, but I’ll always communicate with you in advance so you feel completely comfortable. As a dog boarder, I know that leaving your furry friend behind can be tough. That’s why I offer a safe, reliable, and loving home environment while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like family, with plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. I’m happy to follow any special instructions or routines you have for your pet, whether it’s administering medication or sticking to a specific diet. As a dog walker, I understand the importance of regular exercise and stimulation. I will provide your furry friend with a fun and active walk, tailored to their individual needs and energy levels. Whether your dog loves a leisurely stroll or a brisk jog, I’m ready to make sure they get the exercise they need. Above all, I believe in creating a safe and happy environment for all dogs in my care. I will always make sure your pet is comfortable and content. Let’s work together to keep your furry friend healthy, happy, and loved! I work as a Network Engineer Monday through Thursday from 8-5, but I have plenty of availability for walks in the evenings after work. I’m also available for drop-ins and boarding Thursday through Sunday, and can board dogs for stays longer than a week if needed! I am very much a “neat freak”. I believe in leaving an environment the way it was when you arrived… if not better. When visiting your residence I will make it my utmost priority to keep everything clean and make sure your furry family member is taken care of per your instructions.

“We left our two pups with Ty while we went on a 5 day vacation. We were able to meet and greet before hand and it was really nice to see how great Ty is with dogs. His yard is made for dogs to play! Ty kept in touch throughout the dogs stay with texts and pictures and we came home to happy dogs! Thank you Ty!”
“Karlie took great care of my pup during his stay. He got along well with her dog as well. They got a lot of both play and nap time together! He also came home with a cute bandana! (Thanks again for that). She is responsive, kind and truly loves to care for animals.”
“Kirsten and Kaleb have our Holly amazing care while we were gone for almost two weeks. They sent pictures every day and were so flexible with what we needed, even offering to keep Holly am extra day when we weren't sure we would get back on time. Holly doesn't always get along with other dogs but she loved their dog, Beau!”
“What a great experience! Lauren communicates well and shred lots of pictures. Buddy got along with her dogs. Best of all Buddy felt comfortable enough to eat. Highly recommend Lauren.”
About: I’ve pet sit for many friends and many different animals. I am reliable to feed, walk, and potty your animals. I’m comfortable around all animals. I’ve grown up having pets and adore all pets. I am available most days for intermittent care for pets during the week. My work schedule is consistent, 9:30-630 Monday-Friday during the summer and 12-6:30 during the school year. I am a student at UWL so I have classes but normally am able to create a schedule with you around them fairly easy. I have grown up with a very active family because we have always had very active dog breeds, I love taking them for walks/runs and would love to do the same for your pet. I have no problems staying in and playing with toys as well if that’s what your pet prefers. I also have grown up with cats and am willing to care for them as well.
About: Hello! I’m Laura, and I’m so excited to welcome your four-legged family member into my heart and home. Having grown up with dogs and raised three of my own beloved pups through to their golden years, I know firsthand that dogs aren't just pets—they are cherished family members. Now that my home is a bit quieter, I have a wealth of love, patience, and attention to share with your dog while you are away. Why Choose Me? Lifetime of Experience: I have over 40 years of experience living with and caring for dogs. Senior Dog Care: Having loved three dogs through their entire lives, I am highly comfortable with senior care, gentle pacing, and keeping strict medication and feeding schedules. A Safe, Loving Environment: Your dog will get my full attention, plenty of belly rubs, and a calm, reliable routine that mirrors the comfort they have at home. Whether your pup is an energetic walker or a professional couch cuddler, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend and give you peace of mind knowing they are in safe, loving hands! My daily and weekly schedule is very consistent, which makes it easy to provide a reliable, stress-free routine for your dog. During the week, my schedule allows me to easily plan my day around a dog's needs. I am always home for dedicated morning, late afternoon, and evening care. Because my routine is highly structured, I can guarantee regular potty breaks, timely feedings, and medication administration on a strict schedule. My late afternoons, evenings, and weekends are wide open and entirely dedicated to pet care. Whether that means going for relaxed neighborhood walks, playing in the yard, or just offering quiet companionship on the couch, your dog will be a central part of my day. I treat guest dogs like family, fitting them seamlessly into a warm, attentive, and loving daily routine. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether a dog is staying with me or I am visiting them in their own home. Having raised three dogs of my own, I know how important a secure and predictable environment is for a pet's peace of mind. In My Home: I maintain a calm, dog-friendly, and completely smoke-free environment. Before any stay, I do a thorough safety sweep to ensure all hazards, cords, or human foods are securely out of reach. Dogs in my care are supervised closely, and I follow a strict double-check policy on all doors and gates when entering or exiting. In Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it secure, clean, and exactly as you left it. During visits or house sits, I stick closely to your security routines (locking doors, arming alarms) and ensure your dog is safely secured inside before I leave. My Care Philosophy: Tailored to the Dog: I strictly adhere to your specific rules regarding furniture, feeding schedules, and crate training to keep their routine seamless. On-Leash Safety: I always keep dogs securely on-leash during walks and remain highly alert to our surroundings and other animals. Constant Communication: I love sending daily photo updates so you can see firsthand how happy, relaxed, and safe your pup is!
“Janelle and Chris were excellent. They were very flexible and accommodating from start to finish. From the time you arrive you can feel their passion toward your pet as if it were there own. It was comforting as we knew Duke would be in good hands and hopefully he behaved well for them! Great young and energetic couple with compassion for your pet.”
“Monica was so great with our dog Finn while we were away for a weekend. She was super responsive and sent us pictures to keep us updated on how he was doing. Would highly recommend her!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have always had at least one dog in my home. My 2-year-old boy, Bentley, loves playing in our fenced-in yard and relaxing in the pool on sunny days! I work full-time, so I am doing this because I truly enjoy helping others, loving on your family member, and creating a fun, safe space for play, comfort, and care. I am available nights and weekends. I am doing this for fun, outside of my full-time job. Happy to be flexible and accommodate as much as I can. Bentley and I frequent our fenced in back yard, go to the park, regular walks and play with his many toys throughout our home. I also have several dog beds. My dogs are able to go on all furniture as well.
“Jaimie was fabulous!!! I recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter! She came over for a meet and greet prior to my dogs stay and he fell in love with her right away. She is willing to do anything to make your dog comfortable including her friendly dog Waylon that is gentle, but loves to play. He greeted my dog along with Jaimie. I brought everything he likes at home to make him feel comfortable including food, but I think he liked her food better! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day. She also offered to keep him an extra night and drop him off free of charge to accommodate her schedule as well as ours. I think Busch enjoyed his vacation more than ours! Fabulous, just fabulous!”
