“Yolanda and Rashad’s years of experience caring for all kinds of dogs showed in their confidence taking in our sweet, old pup, and managing him among many others. Their kind, calm demeanor also made him feel comfortable and welcome in their home. Best of all, he returned to us, healthy and well.”
“This is the first time we have boarded our dogs with Maria and Nayibe. We were so pleased with the regular updates they provided. Maria and Nayibe were so kind and caring, always attentive to our dogs' needs. They kept us informed on how our dogs were doing and sent pictures daily. They even went to great lengths to ensure our dogs ate well, which was a common concern for them when we were away. Our dogs were so comfortable that they were in no rush to leave. We will definitely use Maria and Nayibe's boarding services again.”
“MJ was great, my usually shy skittish dog immediately felt comfortable and started playing with the other dogs staying there. MJ clearly understands animals”
“Monique was awesome! She’s an expert in introducing all the pups to each other and making sure play is safe. We received regular (sometimes hilarious) updates that assured us that Coltrane has happy and healthy. The space is amazing and Coltrane loved it! We also received a report of how Coltrane’s time went, which was great. I would definitely recommend Monique and book with her again.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We had last minute work done in our house where the cats had to be gone. Aidan and Dani were amazingly patient with our four cats who have quite unique personalities.”
“Sherry was so amazing in accommodating my senior pup within her home. Tedi was very comfortable and was able to enjoy all of her favorite things with Sherry from naps on the couch to car rides. I appreciated the photos and updates I received and could not have felt more comfortable being away from Tedi for an extended period of time. Definitely will be asking for a repeat stay should her schedule allow!”
“Sarah and her family took great care of Goose while we were gone for a quick overnight! Goose got lots of walks around the neighborhood and played well with their kids, both in the yard and outside. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future!”
“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 🐾”
“Angela was absolutely amazing! I received multiple pictures a day of my dog enjoying spending time with her pups and family. She was treated her as if she was a part of the family. In fact, when I went to pick her up she didn’t want to leave ha! I would most definitely book Angela again in a heart beat. -Allie”
“Ashley and her family did an excellent job watching my two pups. Both seemed to be enjoying themselves while I was away. I got updates and pictures periodically so I was always in the know of what they were up to. Ashley was accommodating with time drop off and pick up. I appreciate the time and love you spent with my babies.”
“Doreen is such a loving person who took wonderful care of my dog, Daisy ?. The second time I went back Daisy couldn’t wait to go in the front door. When Daisy is there I don’t worry about her at all, I know she is having fun and being well-cared for! Thanks, Doreen!”
“Linda was amazing! She was able to accommodate my dog very last minute, which I truly appreciated. She was very kind and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout her stay. She took her on multiple walks each day and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, and Linda made the experience so much easier than I expected. I could tell that she genuinely cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I’m very grateful for the care she provided and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their dog!”
“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!”
“Elizabeth and her family took great care of our dog for 3 nights! We appreciated the photo updates and thoughtful communication. Would definitely recommend Elizabeth to anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Kim was amazing with Millie! Millie stayed with her for three nights, and Kim kept in touch and sent us pictures every day. It looked like Millie had a wonderful time and was very happy and comfortable with her. We had such a great experience and would definitely have Millie stay with Kim again!”
“Julia and Colin were great! They communicated well and even met Toast before boarding! We received a lot of pictures where our dog was smiling and having a good time with them. We will definitely book again!”
“Would definitely recommend Amanda as a sitter! Easy communication, easy to book, I appreciated the couple check ins during my dog’s stay! My dog came back looking well taken care of, happy, and tired from her exercise! Will definitely be using Amanda again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier with Dawn and her husband! They were so welcoming at our Meet and Greet and made us feel very comfortable leaving Zeke overnight. She sent us updates and pictures of him having a blast in their back yard, so I could tell Zeke was having a great time. I highly recommend Dawn and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“I can't be thankful enough. He was not only perfect in taking care of my 8 month old puppy, he was flexible in timing as well if you want an ease of mind I do 100% recommend him.”

“We had such a great experience with Anya. From the start, she was so friendly and easy to talk to, and her communication was amazing the entire time we were away. She sent lots of pictures and updates, which honestly made such a difference and really helped me relax knowing my pets were in good hands. What meant the most to me was how much she genuinely seemed to care about them. It truly felt like she loved them like they were her own. You can’t fake that kind of care, and it gave me so much peace of mind. She was also really accommodating and just made everything feel easy and stress-free. I know we will come home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and I’m so grateful we found her. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their animals.”
“We highly recommend Cindy for all of your fur babies ! She communicated awesomely! Sent pictures of our pets and sent them while we were gone. 100% recommended!!”
“Jen sent great messages and pictures each day letting us know what as going on with our two fur babies - gave a lot of comfort to us while we were away. Will definitely be asking her to pet sit again!”
“Angela was amazing! We have two cats, one of which is quite afraid of new people and hides under the couch. Angela was able to draw him out and earn his trust very quickly, which meant we could relax on vacation without worrying that he was spending an extended period of time with no snuggling, petting, or playing (which has happened in the past with other sitters). We were thrilled!”
“Rachelle was a very nice, considerate and tidy sitter to have in my home. She let us know all was well and responded quickly to our texts. When we returned home Kikki came downstairs to greet me and went and sat near Rachelle ‘s feet. So she was definitely Kikki approved.”
“This is the first of three bookings with Aidan and Dani and I was really happy, my cat Gerard was friendly to them, perhaps he recognized caring souls. He was well fed and every day we stayed in touch to report about the visits. Definitely recommend them for in visit situations. My cat does not like going elsewhere so having Dani and Aidan coming to my house was a plus.”
About: Hi! I’m Montse - mom of kitties Chamoy and Luka. I’ve had these cats for five years and was always a dog person until I had my own feline friends. My orange cat is exactly as you’d expect… rambunctious and incredibly cuddly. Luka the black cat however, is very stand-offish and loves her space. All that to say, I know that cats come with different personalities and I’d love to care for yours however is needed!
“Teanna was great! We needed a last minute sitter and she was very flexible with a meet and greet and coming to feed and water our cats. She was also very understanding when I had reception issues when trying to reply to messages. My cats were well cared for, and I would book Teanna again if I ever have the need. Thank you so much! ?”
“Cathy is OUTSTANDING! She always sent photos of our cats and gave us detailed updates about our pets and our home while we were away. We are extremely happy with her service and I'm sure we'll hire her again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of cats of every age nearly my entire life. I currently have 3 long-haired cats with all very different personalities! I am knowledgeable in cat body language and how to respond to certain cues a cat is showing me. I am a big fan of using Fear Free tactics to gain the trust of any cat I interact with!
“Jeremy was an amazing cat sitter! Both my cats were immediately comfortable and really grew to like Jeremy’s daily visits and play time. Super responsive and always sending lots of pics for me to check in on- it’s was such a relief to have them in Jeremy’s care. Highly recommend!!!”
“Tegra is super sweet and I immediately felt comfortable into our home and trusting her with our little rascal Kitty cat. Assuming she accepts I'll happily use her services again!”

“MJ was amazing with Bobo and warmed up to him in such a short amount of time (usually it takes a while and even days!) He knew how to read Bobo and knew exactly how to interact with him. Definitely will be seeking out MJ to look after Bobo many more times.”
“star had a great stay! communication was excellent, and i felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. i especially appreciated how understanding they were when i reached out after her stay to share some new information about her recent hip dysplasia diagnosis. they genuinely cared about her well being, and i wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. thank you for taking such great care of my girl! 🫶”
“Maria & Nayibe are awesome, highly recommended! We weren’t sure how our puppy would do all day with other dogs the first time. They went out of their way to introduce slowly and everything worked out great. Appreciate the flexibility on early hours and that you treated Rory like your own. The pictures show she thought it was her house as well! She is a picky annd light eater and the fact she was eating there both days tells me all I need to know. Thank you! Look forward to having her with you again!”
“Thank you so much to Kim! Kim was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog Mushi today. She's very friendly and made us feel very comfortable about leaving our lab mix rescue with her while we enjoyed the Milwaukee Zoo. She walked Mushi and also gave us updates as well as pictures. I highly recommend her to watch your dog.”
About: After several busy months on Rover with almost nonstop bookings, I have had such great stays with dozens of dogs, no accidents in the houses, no bites, no runaways, zero negative experiences. I feel confident that with me, you’re getting a premium stay for your pets for a really good value! I’m incredibly hands on and present with the pets, with them 24/7 and very adaptable with the different needs and personalities. I’m attentive with different care instructions and really shower the animals with positive attention 😊 I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. 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 because 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.
“My 4 month old puppy had a fantastic morning with Auria and her 2 dogs. Elliot was able not only to socializie with adult dogs, but also a soon to be 4 year old grand-daughter. Sounds like my puppy did very well -- now I can add that to his Rover profile!! Auria's dogs did not bark at Elliot when we arrived and were very relaxed, yet full of energy, and friendly to our puppy. I hope that when the need arises we can bring Elliot over again. I wouldn't hesitate to make it a regular dog day care, since it was such a positive experience (for everyone!). Thank you Auria for being available when I was looking for daycare the night before.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and patience I have for animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level rather than treating every pet the same. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I’m able to make time throughout the week for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I provide loving, attentive, and reliable care while following each pet’s routine and individual needs. I prioritize safety, comfort, feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep their pet’s routine consistent. I’m also happy to send updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Jan provides excellent care of Hercules. I get photo updates throughout his stay and messages as necessary. Herc is always exhausted and ready for a nap after a full day of play.”
“Linda was super accommodating for a last minute booking, she was very flexible with the pick up and drop off times and she was very kind to us and amazing with our babies!”
“Erin is the best! So is her furry kid Woodson! She took my doggie in at the last minute on a snowy morning and he was so happy when we picked him up! She sent lots of updates the whole day, too! We will be asking her to watch King again??? THANK YOU ERIN!! We hit the jackpot finding you!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic and put our anxious pup at ease. Dobby thrived with her and Enoch and came home happy and well cared for. We would happily have him stay with her again and would recommend her to others.”
About: Updated 08/03/26: 🐾 🚧 Exciting Update! We're putting the finishing touches on our large, fully fenced yard! The project is expected to be completed by the end of August 2026, giving our Adventure Day and boarding guests even more room to explore, play, and enjoy the outdoors safely. Amelie runs WeFriends K9 full-time, providing professional pet care, behavior-focused training, and rehabilitation services. Her greatest success story is her own rescue dog, who was saved just before being euthanized because of behavioral issues. Through patience, structure, training, and trust, he has transformed into a confident, balanced companion. His journey continues to inspire Amelie's passion for helping dogs reach their full potential. Amelie and her husband, Stephen, have been providing pet care through Rover since 2022, while also working with clients independently. Together, we have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities, including many rescue animals. We truly believe that every animal deserves the same balance, happiness, love, joy, and harmony in life that we all strive for. That philosophy is at the heart of everything we do, whether it's an adventure day, pack walk, daycare, boarding, house sitting at your home, training, or simply spending quality time with each pet in our care. We are loving vegetarians. Amelie previously worked at the Wisconsin Humane Society as an animal care technician and has participated in and volunteered with several international animal rescue organizations. She has experience working with many different types of dogs, cats, and other animals. As Stephen is at school for teaching on the weekdays. Most of the time Amelie will be the one who leads the services. Both sometimes work together and sometimes will be only one person shows up for the services. It is always good to support one another. ❤️❤️ Our Services include; - Adventure Day/ PACK WALK/ Individual Walk - DAYCARE but not a typical daycare! - Boarding (sleep over) at our place - Drop-In for a short period of time at your place - House Sitting (Overnight stay) at your place - Gentle Touch Massage to release stress and tension - Dog Rehabilitation/ Training Since we offer a variety of services, we kindly ask that you read the description for each service carefully before booking.

Think of it as a fun day with a purpose—an extended version of our Adventure Day that combines exercise, enrichment, socialization, and training. Our Daycare includes pack walks, structured rest time, enrichment activities, basic training, and supervised social play. After their Adventure Excursion/Pack Walk, dogs spend the afternoon with us enjoying a calm, relaxing environment where they can rest, settle, and continue practicing appropriate behaviors. This balanced routine helps dogs learn not only how to have fun, but also how to switch off and relax after physical and mental activity. This service includes both pick-up and drop-off if you're located along our Adventure Day route. Pick-up and drop-off times may vary depending on the day's schedule, travel route, and the other dogs joining the pack. 🌙 Boarding at Our Home $90 per night ($50 per night for an additional dog) Your dog becomes part of our structured&well-designed home pack. Includes: - Daily pack walks & outings - Calm rest and downtime - Socialization & Enrichment - Structured feeding & routine - Supervised home environment We balance exercise, mental stimulation, and rest based on each dog’s needs. At this time, we prefer boarding dogs who are already part of our Adventure Day, Pack Walk, or Daycare program. This gives us the opportunity to get to know each dog, understand their personality, routine, and individual needs before they stay overnight in our home. If you're interested in boarding with us, we encourage your dog to join an Adventure Day, Pack Walk, or Daycare session before your trip. This helps make the overnight stay much more comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. Our preference is for dogs that are crate trained. However, we're happy to discuss your dog's individual needs during the Meet & Greet. For example, if your dog is reliable sleeping on their own bed in a designated area throughout the night, we're absolutely open to that as well. Our goal is to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every dog staying with us. 🐾💕 **Adventure Days / Pack Walks are typically held on **Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays** and last about 2-3 hours (occasionally on Mondays or Fridays as well). Please note if we're staying overnight in your home (House Sitting), we'll be away for approximately **4–6 hours** during the day while leading our Adventure Day pack. If your dog is friendly and enjoys being around other dogs, they're welcome to join the Adventure Day with no extra charge! It's a great opportunity for structured exercise, socialization, confidence building, and learning alongside a balanced pack. For **House sitting at your home**, we do our best to adapt our schedule to your pet's normal routine. We'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, bedtime, and any special care your pet may need, so they can stay comfortable in their own home. We have a background in dog psychology and training, which helps us understand canine communication, structure routines, and support each dog’s emotional and physical well-being. Our goal is to provide a safe, structured, fun and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and understood. Many pet parents also notice positive changes in their dog’s behavior at home We normally approach animals with calm energy to make them feel safe, secure, relaxed and not feeling too excited, especially the first impression when it comes to Meet & Greet. It is a warm up ritual to build trust and respect, and to get to know and bound with them. ** Fear Free Certified Professional **
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 helped raise my own two family dogs and ensured that they were always walked, bathed, fed, and happy. It's also a habit of mine to go take the extra step like wiping my dogs and make sure they are clean after they've been outside. I've also taken care of my neighbor's dogs alongside our own family dogs, so I have experience handling multiple pets at once. I work full-time, Monday through Friday, while working from home 2-3 days a week. I also go to workout classes in the evening. Normally, if working from home, I take the dogs out for a walk in the morning. On other days, I take them for a walk in the evening. I normally take pets out 3 times a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and night. I make sure the dogs have a dedicated spot for food and bed. I have both a park and a dog park, 5-10 minutes away from my apartment, which I can take the pets to for a walk or some dog play time. There are also multiple yard-like grass areas where the dogs are meant to do their business. If pets stay with me for longer than two weeks, I bathe them every other week.
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. (Website with training info available upon request.) Pet care is a central part of my daily life. I’m home during the day and structure my routine around walks, training sessions, feeding, and enrichment. 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.
About: Just moved back in with my two retired parents. We have a big unfenced yard with a 50ft dog run going from the front porch to a tree. Growing up we’ve always had dogs and I have my own dog in adulthood for 9 years now. But, who can ever get enough dog time in their life, am I right?! I would love the opportunity to walk more dogs either by them selves or with my dog Maggie whom loves meeting new dogs herself and is very friendly. We would also love to dog sit or board, if dog sitting I could bring my dog Maggie along or leave her with my parents if that’s the preference. Having raised a puppy before I am very very patient with dogs and have lots of love for all breeds and temperaments! I am super accomodating to you and your dogs needs so let me know if you have any questions or preferences, I look forforward to meeting all the cute doggos! I work as a server, mostly at night and some Saturday mornings. I also have Thursday and Sundays off. I am available for all services from 6am to 2pm any day and boarding or doggy day care Thursdays and Sundays. I moved back in with my 2 retired parents I plan on being home if I am dog sitting or boarding but if I had to run out for any reason one of us is always home and your fur children would never be left alone.

“Maddalena is so helpful and flexible! I appreciate her thinking ahead- she saw it would be raining so she took our dog on a quick walk and then played with her inside. Dallie still got some energy out, and we couldn't be happier. :)”
About: My dog care history began when I was in middle school and became caretaker for my family dog, Charlie (a Shiba inu mix). I have walked and cared for dogs of many different sizes and all ages both in my personal life and professionally. I have over 3 years if experience at doggy daycares. In my personal life I have cared for my dilute tortie Smokie for 7 of her 8 years. I have also cared for reptiles and amphibians at the Urban Ecology Center and am trained to handle snapping turtles. I love animals of all kinds. I work part time and currently have a very open availability. I am willing to work weekends and holidays. Please ask me if I'm available! I believe in the importance of safety, health, and enrichment. Your animals needs - both physical and emotional - are a priority to me. I put in the time and effort your animal deserves.

About: I am a true animal lover at heart! My family always owned dogs growing up, I adopted my own, Bear, in 2017 and my cat Luna (aka Tuna) in 2021. After recently losing Bear unexpectedly, I’m hoping to help heal my heart and get some puppy love by offering walks and drop-in visits to your babies! Prior to adopting Luna, I offered in-home boarding for many years through Rover. Unfortunately she’s not a fan of having other dogs around, otherwise we’d still be offering that service. I also worked at a doggy daycare during college because I loved dogs so much, and I wanted to spend time with them even though I couldn't get one at the time. This obviously provided me with lots of experience in handling multiple dogs! I promise to love your furbaby like my own and provide lots of pictures and updates :) I work remotely on Monday/Thursday/Friday so I’m available for drop-ins or walks during the workday! Would love to arrange regular services over lunch time. As some who believes that pets are family, I promise to do everything in my power to keep your pets safe under my care. When I have hired Rover services myself, I love to receive lots of pictures and updates from my sitters, so I promise to do the same for you!
About: Hello and welcome! We take care of/have taken care of all different kinds of pets. We have our own two dogs, as well as six cats. We have experience with multiple different breeds and types of animals, as well as being able to handle many at a time. (We have had up to 9 dogs in our care at one time!) We know how hard it is to leave your pet behind, which is why we will update you with pictures as much as you would like. We have a finished basement if your loved one would prefer to be separated, and also have many open rooms for them to choose from for slumber. The cats have a gated off cat room, only accessible to humans and kitties. The crew and I can't wait to meet you! (Or if you prefer the whole crew won't meet you :)). Dani is currently home full time. At this time Dani is home for almost the entire day, with occasional errands. You can request our schedule for any amount of time to confirm your loved one will be cared for properly and on time. We deep clean all items used after a pet stays, so that they are ready for the next pet to stay. We have extra blankets, beds, crates, bowls, and more. We keep our fishtanks neat and clean, as well as my home. My dogs are extremely friendly even with cats. My backyard is fenced in with access through a back door. When it's nice out we play outside with the dogs where they have access to a kiddie pool to play in the water. I have started to add more outdoor play equipment/toys.
“Krystal has done a fantastic job taking our high-energy dog on walks. She’s prompt and shares details about how things went afterwards. She’s also been great about following any specific instructions or requests. I feel very confident leaving our dog in her care and highly recommend her.”
“I have been using these 2 for a couple of weeks with both Wag and now Rover. They have been great to my girl. They are helping her get the energy out in a safe way and even working on her focus in public. Much appreciated ?”
About: I've grown up with pets ever since I was little. I've been trusted even from young ages to walk, feed, and clean up after dogs. I've never had a bad experience and I'm always willing to encounter any and every kind of dog out there with lots of love and care! I have my own pet at home, had him for 10 years. Even after so long, it's so easy and even fun sometimes to do the little things for your pets like feeding them, walking them, and just making sure you spend some quality time with them! There's never a moment I don't want to be around my pet, or any pet for that matter! I always think the key to good pet care is real love and attention. Watching for what your pets want and giving them it will make them happy. If it's attention, bring on the cuddles! If it's a walk, let's do it! And that goes for pets that aren't mine as well. I always care for them like they're mine, and will pay attention to what they want as well as what their owners know is best too!
“Genesis is always reliable and takes excellent care of my pup! She truly loves and cares for everyone’s pet that she takes care of. She’s so communicative and kind to both me and my dog Heidi! :)”
“Melainie is so great with our chihuahua mix, Bowser. Bowser is a great judge of character and is very selective with who he will allow to rub his belly and he loved Melainie the second he met her!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and love them so much that I decided to work at a Dog and Cat daycare and boarding facility. I’ve been working there for 3 years and have worked with all breeds and ages varying from puppies to seniors and love comforting them and making them happy while also making sure their parents know they are in good hands! I’m currently working part-time and my availability is flexible. I’m willing to make adjustments as long as I am notified at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Depending on the typical routine of the pet, I will follow it as close as possible to make them feel as comfortable as I can. I will keep them busy by going on walks or by playing with them, or if they have lower energy I’ll just make sure to give them extra attention.
About: My whole life has been around dogs and cats. I grew up with 3 cats and 2 dogs. In my adult life I owned 3 dogs. I’ve helped train puppies of my own all the way to caring for senior dogs. I have watched friends and neighbors animals from checking in with cats daily to housing dogs for a few days to months. I have a very flexible work schedule so I can check on your pet in the morning before work, during my lunch break and after work. If you need me to be at your house full time with your pet I can easily work from home multiple days. I am a digital media marketer so I can work about anywhere and at any time. I have a fenced in yard with 2 very playful dogs if they need any playtime. I know a great dog park for dogs to run and play their heart out. I love going outside so taking dogs for walks is one of my favorite things to do. Since I live with 2 dogs I know how to feed, play, relax and sleep with them.
About: I have owned and watch dogs but also cats. I have a love for animals and I get very excited meeting new ones. It’s the best experience to me. I’m available anytime. I would be able to do last minute set ups. I’m sometimes away from home around 2-4 pm but that’s not often Everyone in the house loves animals, especially dogs. The most love is given like their our own. We get very excited and take them out for long walks. My dog has been around puppies before and he loves to be around other dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was 7 and currently have one of my own! Big or small I’ll watch them all I work from home 3 days per week, and am happy to provide care for your animals first thing in the morning, mid day, or in the evening. I am also available for weekend care! I have fenced yard at my own home and in my clients homes I will take care of you dog or cat per your instructions only. I am happy to share many photos!
About: Just moved back in with my two retired parents. We have a big unfenced yard with a 50ft dog run going from the front porch to a tree. Growing up we’ve always had dogs and I have my own dog in adulthood for 9 years now. But, who can ever get enough dog time in their life, am I right?! I would love the opportunity to walk more dogs either by them selves or with my dog Maggie whom loves meeting new dogs herself and is very friendly. We would also love to dog sit or board, if dog sitting I could bring my dog Maggie along or leave her with my parents if that’s the preference. Having raised a puppy before I am very very patient with dogs and have lots of love for all breeds and temperaments! I am super accomodating to you and your dogs needs so let me know if you have any questions or preferences, I look forforward to meeting all the cute doggos! I work as a server, mostly at night and some Saturday mornings. I also have Thursday and Sundays off. I am available for all services from 6am to 2pm any day and boarding or doggy day care Thursdays and Sundays. I moved back in with my 2 retired parents I plan on being home if I am dog sitting or boarding but if I had to run out for any reason one of us is always home and your fur children would never be left alone.
About: I’ve taking care of pets since I was 13. I currently have a blind senior german shepherd, and guide him when needed, giving him lots of treats and love. I also have a 1 year puppy and give her frequent time out. I’m planning on working weekends whenever needed to play with doggies and give them the care they need! I can feed them, give medicine, and care for blind and senior dogs. I put my dogs before anything and make sure they have everything they need. Treats, water, food, play time, medicine, supplements, nap time and love.

“Yolanda and Rashad’s years of experience caring for all kinds of dogs showed in their confidence taking in our sweet, old pup, and managing him among many others. Their kind, calm demeanor also made him feel comfortable and welcome in their home. Best of all, he returned to us, healthy and well.”
“MJ was great, my usually shy skittish dog immediately felt comfortable and started playing with the other dogs staying there. MJ clearly understands animals”
“Monique was awesome! She’s an expert in introducing all the pups to each other and making sure play is safe. We received regular (sometimes hilarious) updates that assured us that Coltrane has happy and healthy. The space is amazing and Coltrane loved it! We also received a report of how Coltrane’s time went, which was great. I would definitely recommend Monique and book with her again.”

“Daniel took such good care of our pets. I was sad to leave them at first, but I felt much better once I realized how comfortable they were. It helped us enjoy our vacation more. We had an unexpected delay getting home and Daniel was happy to take our pets for longer. The photos/updates were so appreciated. Thanks Daniel!”
“Sherry was so amazing in accommodating my senior pup within her home. Tedi was very comfortable and was able to enjoy all of her favorite things with Sherry from naps on the couch to car rides. I appreciated the photos and updates I received and could not have felt more comfortable being away from Tedi for an extended period of time. Definitely will be asking for a repeat stay should her schedule allow!”

“Linda was amazing! She was able to accommodate my dog very last minute, which I truly appreciated. She was very kind and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout her stay. She took her on multiple walks each day and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, and Linda made the experience so much easier than I expected. I could tell that she genuinely cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I’m very grateful for the care she provided and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their dog!”

I highly recommend Dawn and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
