“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”
“Ashlee was great with my dog, Sariah! She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend, which was much appreciated. We will definitely book her again when we need a sitter.”
“Laura was great! Our dog Dolly seemed well taken care of. Dolly got along really good with her labrador Diesel. He is a sweet boy. Highly recommend her and have scheduled for future plans. Theresa W.”
“Sarah and her family provided constant updates of my dog throughout the week. Her daughters seemed really engaged and loving on my dog, making me feel confident she was receiving all the love and affection she gets at home. When I picked her up, my dog seemed so relaxed, almost as if she hadn’t been gone all that time, helping me feel confident she was safe and loved on. Usually after boarding in a facility, my dog is highly anxious, extra agitated and disheveled. None of that here with Sarah. Her and her family were truly the best sitters. I never worried once while away.”
“Maria watched our two golden doodles while we were on vacation for a week. This is the second time we’ve used her and she’s always been great. She sends updates with photos/videos multiple times a day. I can tell our boys were well taken care of. Would definitely recommend.”
“Super happy with Ellie’s time spent with Stacey and her family! Appreciated the communication and pics throughout our time away, we could sense the love they gave our girl. Will book again!! 🙏🏽”
“My pup loves being sat by Daniel and all the other dogs. He eats well, plays safe and always has a good time. My pup returns home very restful and happy, I can tell he enjoys staying with Daniel. They provide a great sense of a home away from home for my pup.”
“Elizabeth and her family took really good care of my boy soap. They sent pics every day and updated text messages. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the care that they showed my fur baby and he had the time of his life also. I think he didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Thank Elizabeth and family for taking such good care of my boy soap.”
“Dawn and her family provided a comforting setting for our dog Astro. He was the only client they had for the stay which to us is just what he likes. He’s not much a social one, but tolerates well with other dogs if he has to! They paid Astro lots of attention when he needed it. Kept us up to date on anything that was important to tell us and sent pictures to show us he’s doing well! He’s pretty easy to take care of and not a trouble maker for anybody and he knew he was in good hands! Also, we liked that Dawn has a fenced in backyard! Big plus! Thanks again! Mike and Liz”
“Marilynn was UNBELIEVABLE with my dog!! He’s a difficult rescue and she was aware of it, but gave him a chance. He doesn’t tolerate other dogs, but by the end of his 24 hour stay he was playing in the yard with several other dogs (all larger than him). I was in shock. She is truly the dog whisperer and I’d trust Todd with her any time. Thank you so much, Marilynn!!!! You truly do love pets. ❤️”
“Clark had so much fun staying with Andrew and his family! They have a big fenced in backyard and I got plenty of pictures of Clark playing :) definitely would book again!”
“Tracy was great with Hana and gave frequent updates and pictures. Tracy clearly has great experience taking care of dogs with all types of temperaments and I felt Hana was in great hands!”
“Yolanda and her husband Rashad were wonderful and warm! After our meet and greet Rex and I felt comfortable and knew Rex would be In Great hands and they didn’t disappoint. I’ll definitely be using them again!”
“Working with Julia and Colin was our first Rover experience and we could not be happier with how it went! Julia is extremely communicative and made the process easy. Our dog took to them very quickly and we could tell she was made comfortable in their home. We look forward to booking with them again!”
“Stella LOVES going to Michelle’s house. She is so tired when she gets home from playing so much. I think she feels like a part of the pact with Michelle’s animals. Highly recommend.”
“Zachary was great with my petsitting needs - especially given that I reached out for the first time within a week of needing the help. He fit me into his schedule for a meet n greet (which went really well), I really liked that he had a fenced in backyard. The stay was arranged for 5 days (I ended up coming back a day early and was able to pick him up early). Zachary provided updates early in the stay to let me know how my dog was settling in. Zachary was very responsive to my messages and was quick to reply. If you have a dog with separation anxiety (like mine), it was great that he lives in a house, so there were no wall neighbors (such as apartments) to worry about with any barking. If I find myself traveling for a few days again, I will definitely reach out to see if Zachary is available to watch my dog!”
“I had the pleasure of having Nikki and her lovely family watch our dog, Kota, who has a history of seizures and requires a little extra care. She did a truly wonderful job. Throughout Kota’s stay, she sent frequent pictures and updates, which helped ease our minds and kept us informed. Her attentiveness, kindness, and clear communication were greatly appreciated. Kota was in excellent hands, and it was clear she treated her like one of her own. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate care for their pet—especially if they have special medical needs.”
“Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾”
“Kim did a great job with our dog Georgia! Georgia has lots of quirks and Kim managed them well. She was communicative, and sent photos and updates without me having to ask for them. Georgia was safe, happy, and relaxed when we brought her home. Thanks Kim and Tom!!”
“Would definitely book again with Jill in the future. She clearly loves dogs and has lots of treats and dog toys in her home. Our anxious pup warmed up to her quickly and came home happy. And she came in clutch for us and was able to take our booking on short notice when we really needed it. Would recommend to others looking for a dog sitter.”

“Kathy always takes care of my two cats- she is always so detailed and attentive with her check-ins, and always makes sure she does what’s best for my animals, can’t recommend her enough!!!”
“Julia did such a wonderful job looking after my cat Minerva while I was away. At every visit she sent me pictures and an update and gave Minerva lots of cuddles and attention. I would absolutely book with Julia again!”

“Emily is an excellent trustworthy cat sitter! She communicates well, follows all instructions for their care, and takes cute photos. Everything was great when I came back. Thank you Emily!”
“Jeremy was great! He obviously enjoys taking care of animals and he went the extra mile for us to get an extra feeding visit in. We will happily use him again!”
“Nicole was wonderful with house sitting! She was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures which eased our minds! We knew we left our girls in great hands, she consistently got our calico her pills and the kitties were played with tons. Nicole also left our house in pristine condition. She's the best!”
“Erica was a huge help and accepted my request on very short notice! She did a great job taking care of my cat, Ladybug, and provided updates after every visit. Thanks, Erica!”
About: I have had a dog of my own for nine years and think I would be a great fit to take care of your animal. I know what to do in different situations with dogs and cats because I have babysat dogs and cats before. I have a lot of free time to properly take care of your animals. I am willing to spend more time and really make sure your satisfied with my visit. I spend time taking them for walks, grooming them, and just spending time with them. I love exercising my dog and making sure he gets treats for his good behavior.
About: Primarily had two wonderful cats. The first is Ghost who I raised from when she was abandoned and the size of my hand until she passed away at age 19-1/2. The second is Harmony which we adopted and raised from age 3-ish to 18-ish. From time to time I have checked in on friends cats while they are out for basic feeding/kitty litter things, along with some socialization/cuddle time. We have two+ dogs at any time and haven't had cats in a few years, so care would only be at your home just to keep things good for my household.
“Leilani is an amazing sitter. She keeps me updated, ends pictures and loves on my little guy, noticing changes in his behavior and demeanor but most importantly, he knows he too and feels comfortable with her :)”
“Maiah helped me out on short notice and watched my cat, Patches. She did a wonderful job making sure she was taken care of while I was gone, and I look forward to scheduling with her again the next time I’m traveling. Thank you Maiah!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. I don’t know what life is like without a furry companion! I have an 85 pound poodle mix. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes! I have a good amount of experience with both young and old dogs. My family’s 15 year old border terrier required many medications and special treatment. I have a lot of experience with dog and cat sitting as friends and neighbors have consistently counted on me to care for their beloved fur babies. I’m a very active individual who would love to take your dog for a walk, or even a run if they are up to it. I don’t start my job until middle of August so my schedule is quite open until then. Currently back & forth between Milwaukee area and Green Bay/De Pere area for the summer! I just graduated from UW Madison with my Masters in Speech Language Pathology. I currently have a very open schedule as I am not working until August. I am quite flexible! When staying at client’s homes I will do whatever makes the pet(s) and their owner’s feel most comfortable. I am the BIGGEST animal lover and will always put the pet’s priorities before mine! For dog walking, I will make sure the dog gets an adequate length of walk in relation to its size and its activity level. I am always willing to adjust my schedule in order to make the pet more comfortable and prioritized. I know how hard it is to be away from your pet, and because of this I will with no doubt give your pet so much attention and love! (And as many pictures and videos as you want!)
About: **update** I’ve moved neighborhoods! I now live near Wauwatosa! I do have a fenced in yard! I’ll still take clients in Bayview too! ☺️☺️ I had a dog in my house every since I was in elementary school, and loved each one of them more than anything in the world. I have been dog sitting since my mid 20s, and thoroughly enjoy taking care of and loving dogs of all sizes! I work close to home Wednesday through Sunday, no more than 7 hours at a time. That leaves plenty of time for several walks, playtime and the dog park(if allowed). I live 2 blocks from several parks and a 10 minute drive to 3 dog parks. Your pup(s) will get plenty of exercise and have free roam of my house, and can sleep wherever they choose including the furniture and beds(unless otherwise instructed:) )
About: I have a diverse experience of taking care of dogs. One of my previous jobs was working in a dog daycare/kennel where I took care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have been a dog walker and sitter for many years now, and have been around dogs my whole life! I currently own a mini poodle puppy! I am currently a full time student and can help walk your dog on weekends, holidays, and some odd days throughout the week. My schedule does change, so I can’t provide consistent care, but would love to help out when I can! I take dog walking very seriously, and make sure that the dog’s safety is prioritized. It make sure to be very observant of the dog’s surroundings and temperament, and will be ready to pivot whenever necessary. Communication is very important to me, so I am as prepared as possible for every situation.
“I was gone for 2 weeks and Leandrea did a great job caring for my cat. She also went above and beyond and took care of my plants too. Definitely recommend and will use her again in the future.”

“Michelle took care of my very shy basset and he had a great time. He warmed up to her immediately and I was confident that they would do well together for the day. She sent several pictures of what they were doing over the course of the day. I am very pleased with Michelle and will definitely use her again.”
About: I have had dogs of my own since I was 9 years old. I LOVE dogs--especially small ones! I have trained all of my dogs. I board friends' dogs in my home all the time, and am now excited to move into boarding strangers' dogs here on Rover! I work full-time, a mix of in-office and at home. I work from home on Thursdays and have flexibility on Fridays, so it works best for me to be able to provide boarding on long weekends (Thursday-Sunday). I am happy to provide your pet with seamless care and match what they are used to in your home. I have a large yard and a quiet neighborhood. My home has many rooms and I have some gates so that I can separate pets if needed. I also have a puppy play pen for smaller/younger pups who need their own space.
About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for my large family & friends for years and just decided to see if anyone else would need the service. I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. I like hanging out with the pets like little buddies, getting some days of cuddles and then sending them home 😅. It’s the perfect way to get some fur baby time until I’m ready for my next dog or cat in the future. This is not a business for me, it’s something I have enjoyed doing for my family and friends, and if you want your beloved pet to be in a calm but fun, comfortable environment while you’re away, I can extend my service to you. I recently started doing home stays/drop ins for the pet sitting too and enjoyed it. I currently have a really flexible schedule with a lot of availability. I live with my dad that occasionally says hi if the dog or cat is friendly but mostly the house is big enough that they never cross paths. I have a fenced in yard and a big house with a lot of space that I can also section off by closing doors. I typically take the animals out several times a day, feed them, and let them roam around the house or snuggle with me. I like when pet owners bring a bed for their pets so I can make them their own space but they’re welcome to chill with me in whatever I’m doing. I’m youthful, active, and responsible. I have a naturally friendly, calm demeanor that animals and people respond well to. I have no pets right now but used to have a pit/black lab mix that I loved dearly so I love pits and other breeds with historically bad reputations. I frequently sit my aunt’s beagle mix who’s just a little old pup that sparked my interest for pet sitting cuz it was so fun to have visits from him. He and my old dog are in a bunch of my pics. With all animals I just try to make them comfortable and let them feel at home.
“Dan didn't mind my early drop off and definitely spoiled my puppy. He sent lots of pictures and gave great updates throughout the day. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.”
“Drew and Rue are awesome hosts! Luna and Rue became fast friends and they spent a lot of time playing and running around. Drew was kind enough to send pics and video to this nervous fur mom. He also asked if she had any particular routines to follow which was so appreciated. Luna has been good and tired out today so I could get some work done after I picked her up! Highly recommend Drew and Rue, we will be regular clients of theirs moving forward.”
About: All my life animals have been a part of my life! I have always had a dog or cat in the home growing up. I just love spending time with my dog, taking him on walks, cuddling with him, and playing fetch with him! Same with my kitten she can be the biggest cuddle bug, or Ms. Independent (I love her either way)! I am currently exploring pet care as a full time job! I have open/available for all your pet care needs day/evening care, boarding, walks! Let’s communicate, I’d love to help you with your pet care needs Currently I have 1 dog a 13 year old chihuahua, and a 6 month old kitten. scrappy and Anastasia are very friendly, and get along great with other animals! We take walks daily, and visit a local dog park 2 to 3 times a week.
About: Hi there! We are lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience and two sweet pit bulls of my own. Our home is shared with my playful and loving 3-year-old boy and my silly, affectionate 1-year-old girl, who both love making new friends. We've spent many years in responsible dog breeding, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, socialization, and individual needs. Whether your pup is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, We are confident and comfortable caring for all personalities, ages, and breeds. With me, your pets will be treated like part of the family — plenty of love, attention, structure, and fun. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive environment where every dog feels at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! --- If you want, I can also tailor it to a specific service (boarding, drop-ins, walks, etc.) or adjust the tone to be more professional, playful, or concise. I offer flexible scheduling for pet boarding thanks to my role with a property management company, which allows me to be home often and adjust my availability as needed. This flexibility helps me give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout their stay. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we kindly require all pets to have their own crate during their stay. Crates provide a secure, familiar space for your dog to rest and relax, especially during downtime or when we briefly step out. Their safety and well-being are always our top priority. Also provide your pet with their favorite food/treats for their stay. We are also able to provide that for an additional fee.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats going back to childhood. I have been actively pet sitting for 5+ years and have experience with puppies and kittens, seniors, and pets with special needs. I have also cared for rabbits and am very flexible and willing to learn! I am a teacher, so I am free most of the summer to watch your pet and give them some love! September -May I am still available but with less flexibility I enjoy drop ins and walks so I can give pets attention and care while in their own comfortable environment. I can also watch dogs at my home for those who need overnight visits, but dogs MUST be cat friendly/neutral without history of chasing cats

“Michael and his wife were very kind to champ. They are true dog lovers. Very responsive to our requests. We returned later than we thought we due to traffic and Michael was were very understanding and gracious about it. Thank you!”
About: I love dogs and animals - they really are the best! I have owned three for many years, raising two from being puppies, and addressing challenging behavior with an older doggo, in addition to fostering multiple rescue dogs. I recently moved to WI, and my pets stayed home with my partner for now, and miss my furry companions and want to provide love and care for yours while I’m here! I am happy to work with you on what’s best, whether that is house sitting, boarding, or simply letting your animals out on walks or to go potty. Let’s chat! I currently work from home and have a remote job, so can provide your dog with any needs or attention that makes sense based on their schedule. I have some in-person meetings that occur throughout the week, and am generally around on the weekends regularly. If planning on boarding or daycare, I now live in a home with a nice backyard. I can easily crate, take out for potty breaks, etc. I am also mindful of dog reactivity regardless of my own or neighbor’s dogs.
“Amazing communication and pictures throughout. Soba had such a great time hanging out with Tracie and Penny! She was totally pooped from all the fun we had by the time we got home. Would definitely bring soba back without hesitation.”
“Kim is amazing! We always have her watch our dachshund Wendi whenever we go out of town or have an event to go to. She is so responsive and such a kind person! When she’s watching our dog, we know our dog is in great hands.Our dog always comes home happy and sleepy after hanging out with Kim and her dog! Thank you!!”
About: I owned a dog growing up and cared for and trained one with my family. I sit for friends and family from time to time and I love to play and take dogs for walks and, if they are able, runs of up to a few miles! I have a fenced in yard, and my kids (4, 8) are also great with animals. I work from home. With the exception of rare travel days, school drop-offs, and evening events, I will always be around the house to care for your pup. Your pet will get the attention it needs, as I work from home and I have a fenced in yard, as well as young boys that are great with animals. Frequent outside visits and play times are very doable.
“Yshonda treated my Kingsley so well and kept me informed with pictures and videos. I was able to work without anxiety knowing she was caring for my fur baby.”
About: I’m a true animal lover. If it has paws, scales, fins, or whiskers, I’m already invested. I’ve cared for and fostered all kinds of pets over the years—dogs, cats, aquatic babies, reptiles, and the tiniest furry friends like bunnies and hamsters—so I’m comfortable across the board. To me, pets aren’t “just pets”…they’re family. My approach is calm, patient, and gentle. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and respect their boundaries so they always feel safe, understood, and comfortable. At home, I’ve got my own little zoo—2 sweet cats, a bearded dragon, 2 geckos, 4 snakes, and an adorable mouse—so trust me, I’m no stranger to unique personalities and specialized care. I would love to care for your pet when you need a break, go on vacation or when you make other plans. You can be assured that your pet is in good hands. To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. 📍 Located in Milwaukee – Capitol Heights area 🌻 I work from home so I’ll always have time to play, feed and love on your pet babies. I’m always flexible with their needs (bathroom breaks, medication, shyness) to make sure they are always comfortable. If my schedule or availability changes, I always send out updates to my calendar right away. ❤️ To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space for pets to roam, play and toilet if needed. Pets are always welcome to bring their own items. My 2 lovely cats are usually shy and more of the watching type, so they won’t bother your pets but will surely admire them from their cat trees. All activities and toileting are supervised. There is no smoking of any kind in my home or pet areas. There are some pictures of our living space in the photo collection on my Rover profile.
About: Hi! I’m Bella, a professional dog trainer with over 7 years of hands-on experience working in advanced obedience, behavior modification, service dog foundations, and sport dog training. I’ve helped dogs and their families work through leash reactivity, anxiety, aggression, impulse control, and high-drive challenges—and I bring that same knowledge into every boarding, daycare, or drop-in service I offer. 🐾 What makes my care different? I provide structure, clear communication, enrichment, and individualized attention—not just cuddles and playtime. Whether your dog is working on manners or needs a calm, consistent place to stay, I’ve got you covered. 📍 Based in New Berlin 🏡 Calm home with safe setup (crate-trained dogs welcome!) ✅ Experience with large breeds, working dogs, and nervous pups 🦴 Optional training add-ons available during daycare or boarding Let me know your dog’s needs—I’m happy to customize care to give you peace of mind and your dog the routine they thrive in.

Whether it’s daycare or boarding, dogs are integrated into a calm and structured environment throughout the day. I provide a peaceful, secure home environment with crate space available (if needed), structured downtime, and consistent routines. Dogs are supervised, enriched, and treated with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I’ve worked with everything from young puppies to high-drive working dogs to those needing a little extra patience or support.

“My little Mario 🐾 gets excited when I tell him Kathy is coming to walk him. She took him for a car ride and to the park for an extra fun time. I got a full report on how my little guy is doing and I’m so happy Kathy takes such good care while I’m away.”
About: I've had multiple dogs over the last 30 years. Mainly Bull Mastiffs, Border Collie Mix, and multiple Pitties. We lately have been adopting older dogs to give them the best end of life possible. For friends I've watched many smaller to larger dogs, comfortable with all. I have experience with all sorts of meds and care, although I prefer to stay away from anything with needles when possible. We've been to the vet more times than I can count, and have gotten good at understanding/reading dog behavior and signs of distress. I have experience with all soft of personalities...shy or alpha, lazy or rambunctious, etc. I like to understand them and work with them where they are at so they enjoy themselves and are happy. I'm a pretty calm presence and in general dogs trust me right away. My wife will joke that I am a dog whisperer as dogs tend to follow my lead easily, but I think it is simply being confident and projecting that you are there to take care of them. I have a very flexible work schedule and am home most of the time. I only have 1 dog right now (Oscar, 82 lb Pitty who loves everything and everyone...he walks around with soft toys like they are his dolls), but will likely be back to 2 in the near future. I walk my pup(s) pretty much every day. We live near Hart Park and the Oak Leaf Trail so getting out to walk along the river/parks is very easy. New to doing this formally rather than just for friends. Normally watch friends dogs at their place. If we take care of your pup in our home, we will always have 1+ pups that will be other-dog friendly. My wife and I have a small Tosa home but fully fenced-in yard to be able to let them out at any time day or night without worry. We have a small main floor but it has 3-4 dog beds and multiple toys (prefer dogs who are ok with soft toys, as our pup(s) don't rip those up. Will likely prefer caring for your pup in your home, it simply mitigates the crowding in the house and any potential conflicts. If I look after any cats, those would be at your house. We no longer have cats and aren't prepped for that in any way.
“I really appreciated Elizabeth's willingness to do a meet and greet before the first walk. She was super patient and understanding with my anxious pup. Would recommend!”
“Amy was such a pleasure to work with! She came over to meet Punky a few days ahead of time and he really liked her! She sent me some picture of their walk and gave me details about his behaviors while they were together. I really enjoy working with Amy and can't wait to do it again!”

About: I’ve had animals growing up, and been relied on by neighbors and friends to take care of theirs when they take trips. These include going over to feed them, walk them, and make sure they got company while the family was away! I enjoy taking care of animals when I can, which is why I love pet sitting and meeting more people around the area of Morgantown. My schedule is pretty flexible with notice, so can work with you on time and dates through excellent communication. I have an apartment that is animal friendly with a roommate that loves dogs and cats! We’re a household that enjoys each others company and will provide a warm environment for your pets.
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and have had the honor of caring for others pets as well! I have cared for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, horses, and birds! I am currently in school and find myself with a lot of free time! I enjoy going for walks and playing with my cat that lives with me! I live in a gated community with a fenced in dog yard! I know lots of great walking areas to bring your dogs too for a little fun adventure!
“Sydney was the best!!! She went above and beyond to keep me updated on our pets! And our dog Rigby loved her on their walks together! I definitely will be using Sydney again in the future!!!”
About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was little. From puppies to seniors, I’m experienced in all stages of life. Seeing dogs happy brings me so much joy. I love being playful with pups but also gentle and caring. I am studying my work but I do have plenty of free time to take care of animals. My schedule is fairly flexible whether it’s early mornings, mid day or evenings. Pups need playtime! I’m always willing to play- having their favorite toy, a fenced backyard or a leash is all I need. I love giving dogs scratches and belly rubs. If needed, I could crate them up/put is designated area.
About: I've been around dogs all my life and love giving them plenty of play time and attention. I also just recently gained experience with puppies. They are my favorites 🙂↕️ Availability: Wednesday: 8am to 10:30am/ 5pm to 10pm Thursday: 5pm to 10pm Open availability on Friday, Saturday and Sunday If you have any questions or requests outside of my schedule, I will do my best to work with you. I am a student in college currently. I typically do drop ins, I feed according to how the owner wants their pet fed, I play with them as much as possible and give plenty of love and attention
About: I have extensive experience in pet sitting, having raised my own dogs from puppies to adulthood. I have a 10 year old small Cockapoo and an 8 year old big Golden Doodle, both of whom I've cared for since they were born. Additionally, I have a highly energetic Blue Heeler, so I'm well knowledged in managing dogs with high energy levels. My skills include basic training for puppies, ensuring they learn good behaviors early on, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs. I absolutely love dogs and will make sure they revive the love and attention that they very much deserve. Pet care is a big part of my daily life. I make sure to spend quality time with my dogs every day, whether it's walking, feeding, or playing with them. I ensure pets are comfortable by maintaining a clean, safe environment, providing regular meals, exercise, and playtime, and giving them lots of love and attention.
“Mary is great with our 10 month old Brittany! I’m impressed with her enthusiasm and she is a quick learner of his routines! She is helping us work on training which is so helpful. I would highly recommend Mary!”
About: I love dogs and animals - they really are the best! I have owned three for many years, raising two from being puppies, and addressing challenging behavior with an older doggo, in addition to fostering multiple rescue dogs. I recently moved to WI, and my pets stayed home with my partner for now, and miss my furry companions and want to provide love and care for yours while I’m here! I am happy to work with you on what’s best, whether that is house sitting, boarding, or simply letting your animals out on walks or to go potty. Let’s chat! I currently work from home and have a remote job, so can provide your dog with any needs or attention that makes sense based on their schedule. I have some in-person meetings that occur throughout the week, and am generally around on the weekends regularly. If planning on boarding or daycare, I now live in a home with a nice backyard. I can easily crate, take out for potty breaks, etc. I am also mindful of dog reactivity regardless of my own or neighbor’s dogs.
About: I’ve worked as a dog groomer and at a dog kennel and I’ve also had lots of personal pets of my own from Puppies, Kittens, elder dogs with medications. So I can give your pets medications along with grooming and taking care of them in the aspect of making sure they’re healthy from working in a veterinary clinic in the grooming department. I am completely open, I have a pet cat that lives with my grandma so she’s taken care of fully so I can take care of your pets as needed as much as possible! I can take care of what you need in every aspect, whether you need your dog washed, nails trimmed, brush teeth, cat nail clipping, anything you ask I can bring and do for you for extra if needed! I also have a traveling pet bath with waterless shampoo and brush set for a good grooming if your pet needs it!
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. I don’t know what life is like without a furry companion! I have an 85 pound poodle mix. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes! I have a good amount of experience with both young and old dogs. My family’s 15 year old border terrier required many medications and special treatment. I have a lot of experience with dog and cat sitting as friends and neighbors have consistently counted on me to care for their beloved fur babies. I’m a very active individual who would love to take your dog for a walk, or even a run if they are up to it. I don’t start my job until middle of August so my schedule is quite open until then. Currently back & forth between Milwaukee area and Green Bay/De Pere area for the summer! I just graduated from UW Madison with my Masters in Speech Language Pathology. I currently have a very open schedule as I am not working until August. I am quite flexible! When staying at client’s homes I will do whatever makes the pet(s) and their owner’s feel most comfortable. I am the BIGGEST animal lover and will always put the pet’s priorities before mine! For dog walking, I will make sure the dog gets an adequate length of walk in relation to its size and its activity level. I am always willing to adjust my schedule in order to make the pet more comfortable and prioritized. I know how hard it is to be away from your pet, and because of this I will with no doubt give your pet so much attention and love! (And as many pictures and videos as you want!)

“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”
“Ashlee was great with my dog, Sariah! She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend, which was much appreciated. We will definitely book her again when we need a sitter.”
“Laura was great! Our dog Dolly seemed well taken care of. Dolly got along really good with her labrador Diesel. He is a sweet boy. Highly recommend her and have scheduled for future plans. Theresa W.”
“Sarah and her family provided constant updates of my dog throughout the week. Her daughters seemed really engaged and loving on my dog, making me feel confident she was receiving all the love and affection she gets at home. When I picked her up, my dog seemed so relaxed, almost as if she hadn’t been gone all that time, helping me feel confident she was safe and loved on. Usually after boarding in a facility, my dog is highly anxious, extra agitated and disheveled. None of that here with Sarah. Her and her family were truly the best sitters. I never worried once while away.”
“My pup loves being sat by Daniel and all the other dogs. He eats well, plays safe and always has a good time. My pup returns home very restful and happy, I can tell he enjoys staying with Daniel. They provide a great sense of a home away from home for my pup.”
“Elizabeth and her family took really good care of my boy soap. They sent pics every day and updated text messages. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the care that they showed my fur baby and he had the time of his life also. I think he didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Thank Elizabeth and family for taking such good care of my boy soap.”
“Dawn and her family provided a comforting setting for our dog Astro. He was the only client they had for the stay which to us is just what he likes. He’s not much a social one, but tolerates well with other dogs if he has to! They paid Astro lots of attention when he needed it. Kept us up to date on anything that was important to tell us and sent pictures to show us he’s doing well! He’s pretty easy to take care of and not a trouble maker for anybody and he knew he was in good hands! Also, we liked that Dawn has a fenced in backyard! Big plus! Thanks again! Mike and Liz”
“Marilynn was UNBELIEVABLE with my dog!! He’s a difficult rescue and she was aware of it, but gave him a chance. He doesn’t tolerate other dogs, but by the end of his 24 hour stay he was playing in the yard with several other dogs (all larger than him). I was in shock. She is truly the dog whisperer and I’d trust Todd with her any time. Thank you so much, Marilynn!!!! You truly do love pets. ❤️”
“Clark had so much fun staying with Andrew and his family! They have a big fenced in backyard and I got plenty of pictures of Clark playing :) definitely would book again!”
“Tracy was great with Hana and gave frequent updates and pictures. Tracy clearly has great experience taking care of dogs with all types of temperaments and I felt Hana was in great hands!”
“Yolanda and her husband Rashad were wonderful and warm! After our meet and greet Rex and I felt comfortable and knew Rex would be In Great hands and they didn’t disappoint. I’ll definitely be using them again!”
“Stella LOVES going to Michelle’s house. She is so tired when she gets home from playing so much. I think she feels like a part of the pact with Michelle’s animals. Highly recommend.”
“Zachary was great with my petsitting needs - especially given that I reached out for the first time within a week of needing the help. He fit me into his schedule for a meet n greet (which went really well), I really liked that he had a fenced in backyard. The stay was arranged for 5 days (I ended up coming back a day early and was able to pick him up early). Zachary provided updates early in the stay to let me know how my dog was settling in. Zachary was very responsive to my messages and was quick to reply. If you have a dog with separation anxiety (like mine), it was great that he lives in a house, so there were no wall neighbors (such as apartments) to worry about with any barking. If I find myself traveling for a few days again, I will definitely reach out to see if Zachary is available to watch my dog!”
“I had the pleasure of having Nikki and her lovely family watch our dog, Kota, who has a history of seizures and requires a little extra care. She did a truly wonderful job. Throughout Kota’s stay, she sent frequent pictures and updates, which helped ease our minds and kept us informed. Her attentiveness, kindness, and clear communication were greatly appreciated. Kota was in excellent hands, and it was clear she treated her like one of her own. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate care for their pet—especially if they have special medical needs.”
“Kim did a great job with our dog Georgia! Georgia has lots of quirks and Kim managed them well. She was communicative, and sent photos and updates without me having to ask for them. Georgia was safe, happy, and relaxed when we brought her home. Thanks Kim and Tom!!”
“Would definitely book again with Jill in the future. She clearly loves dogs and has lots of treats and dog toys in her home. Our anxious pup warmed up to her quickly and came home happy. And she came in clutch for us and was able to take our booking on short notice when we really needed it. Would recommend to others looking for a dog sitter.”
“Thank you, Fernando, for babysitting Bud!! It was an 'all boys weekend' which is right up Bud's alley! He came home relaxed and is asking when he can come back for more of the same! Thank you, Mary and gang, for Always taking such good care of Bud. PS: Fernando, thanks for the walk around the block!!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I couldn’t have picked a better family to look after my 2 girls while I was out of town. Scott sent picks and videos every day while yo was gone showing how much fun they were having.”
“MJ and his wife treated my senior dog Zorro with loving kindness during his weekend stay, and we appreciated the regular updates and pictures. Zorro is skittish and takes time to trust individuals, and MJ was very understanding and patient with him. MJ was also very helpful and flexible when our dog care needs changed at the last minute.”
