“My puppy Lola LOVES Gabriella and her pup Simba! I always know she’s having fun and in great hands :) Will continue to use Gabriella as I work nights and she keeps the dogs on a tight potty schedule. Definitely recommend.”

“Bethany was so good with our lil Gertie! Gertie is usually pretty shy with new people but Bethany got her out of her shell! She sent pictures and updates. Gertie had so much fun!”

“Catherine is amazing!! My dog Riley is a senior dog that I just adopted a year ago. I was so worried about leaving her for a weekend while I went out of town. Riley is so attached to me and never leaves my side. My fears subsided immediately when I met Catherine and her furry crew. I could really tell that she loves and cares for her dogs and the dogs she cares for as if they are family. Catherine kept me updated with videos, photos and updates about how Riley was doing the entire time. She gave Riley all of the love and reassurance that she needed. Her tail was wagging the whole time. ❤️”

“Jennifer was great to work with! This is the first time I’ve used any type of boarding service, and she made it easy and made me feel comfortable with everything. I could tell she has a lot of experience with dogs and was confident everything was going to be fine. I look forward to working with her again!”

About: Taking walks around my pond, lots of cuddles, and play will be enjoyed at my home. Open to working with your feeding schedule preferences for your pet. Weekends, I will be home more to play and cuddle. I work outside of home during the week, but in the evenings I will have lots of time to play and have fun. If you have a crate, I would love for you to bring it for the dog. This way, if I am sitting with multiple pets while I'm gone, they are safe. Also, I will always have a leash in my complex.

I have dogs at home who spend the day wandering the house and have ability to go outside whenever. I love to play with dogs and to walk and cuddle with dogs who are interested in those things.
“Craig is an amazing pet sitter - you can’t go wrong having him care for your fur baby. He spent all of his time with our senior dog Linus, who takes several medications several times a day. In addition, he took Linus on many adventures and played ball with him constantly and had a fun toy box. Linus had his own vacation while we were on vacation. I was able to relax and have zero worries, knowing Linus was in great hands. We would use Craig again in a heartbeat.”

“Cannot recommend Maddy enough. She was very kind and easy to work with. It was so comforting knowing how much she cared for our pets while we were away for the week in Mexico. she sent regular updates, pictures and videos! She paid extra attention to detail and made sure to ask if our pets had any specials needs / routines. Our cats were very relaxed when we returned which was a sign of excellent care while we were gone. Will definitely be rebooking with Maddy for our next trip! :)”


“Debora was here today for her first drop-in visit. She was prompt and sent a couple pics as requested. She also left a note for me on how the visit went. My pup and her hit it off great at the meet and greet.”

“I'm so glad I found Annette! It was my first time leaving my kitty alone at home and I was nervous especially since the little guy had an ear infection but she went above and beyond to take care of him and also administer his ear drops. She is very down to earth & easy to talk to and I felt comfortable working with her. Finding someone you trust to take care of your fur kiddo is such a personal & delicate thing and she's very thoughtful- I would definitely go back to her next time!”


“Emily was amazing! So friendly and our cats all LOVED her, which is crazy because normally they aren’t all keen on new people. She was prompt and updated us immediately with several pictures and how they were doing. Thanks, Emily!”

“Craig helped me out short notice and kept my cat for the day while my landlord did some work on my house. He sent lots of pictures and make me feel so much better knowing she was in good hands. 10/10 recommend!!”

“Samantha is conscientious, kind, and caring. She was easy to talk to, my dog loves her, and I appreciate her attention to detail. She arrived a few minutes early and meet all expectations. Thank you, Samantha. :-)”

About: Hello everyone, my name is Kara. I've been around animals my entire life and have grown up with both dogs and cats. I have a love for animals, and will do anything to help them. I have one pup named Bee, and she’s 3 years old. I offer drop in visits for both dogs and cats of any age, and I also offer dog walking for all ages of dogs and puppies. I do wanna state that no matter what service you book with me I'll keep in contact the entire time of service, and will send photo updates. I can not accommodate overnight sittings as I have a stepdaughter who I care for while my boyfriend works 3rd shift, but also because I have a pup of my own who can’t be left alone overnight. If you have any questions please contact me, I hope to see you and your pets soon. Thanks for booking with me, I appreciate your business. ❤ God bless you! I currently do gig work full time so I pretty much have open availability and can certify that I’m a great choice to take care of your fur babies. I make sure that when out on a walk that dogs are properly harnessed, and that I follow the owners instructions for each family pet.
“Becky was so wonderful! She stopped in twice a day to watch our cat Percy while we were away and she took great care of him. She went above and beyond, playing with him, sending updates, and gave us complete peace of mind that he was being well taken care of. Percy definitely misses her since we have come home, he seems even more playful after her visits. We are so thankful to Becky and highly recommend her!”

I am willing to work with your animal's needs in any way, including medication and certain training exercises that you request.

I will follow any instructions given and am always ready to make sure your pet is happy and well taken care of. I will do whatever your pet needs to stay happy and healthy.

“Our little 15-year-old cat has had quite a few care givers in her lifetime and Jaimie is the best of the best. She’s friendly, conscientious, caring, and so, so good with animals (and people 🙂).

“Jennifer was AMAZING. She had a mini doggie day care day the day Loki visited, which was great for Loki to have other dogs to play with. It was a rainy day, so there was probably lots of mischief going on inside her house. She sent pictures and videos of his stay with reassuring words as this was the first time we used Rover. When i picked him up he was somewhat happy to see me, yet looked back as if he wanted to stay longer to play with his new friends and human. We will definitely have Jennifer take care of Loki in the future.”

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

“Can not say enough positives about Craig. He was so flexible and accommodating with our changing plans. He took excellent care of Hamlet and sent frequent pictures and updates. He gave our dog so much attention and exercise. Book with him if you have the chance!”

“Becky and family are the perfect dog sitters! I can’t explain how grateful I am for how well they cared for my Winnie! I’d be lucky to have her help me again! Bonus: the location in which she lives is a dogs dream :)”

“We’ve used Sarah twice now for dog walking Maxwell. She’s been very accommodating with coming when we needed her to so Maxwell doesn’t go too long without a walk. We’ve gotten pictures and reports on how it went. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furry family member.”

“Kelly is an outstanding. She is detailed and attentive with my pups behavioral problems. She was timely and went above and beyond. My dog has been so much happier lately and I have no worries with trusting her with the care of my dog and plan on rebooking often.”


About: I have had many different breed dogs through the years from puppy to senior with special needs and kittens to senior cats. Our family has one super sweet lap/pit mix currently. I also work part-time for BowWow Meow boutique in Stevens Point, WI and interact with all breeds of dogs and assist families with their pet needs for the home. I currently work Part-time for a pet boutique in Stevens Point. I will be providing drop-in visits, walking and overnights around my limited scheduled hours there. I view your pets and property equally as important as my own and will treat my time as your client as such. I am trustworthy, attentive, loving and compassionate. Committed to provide the very best for your companion and space.
About: I have been raised with dogs my entire life. I have cared for my own dogs, as well as friend and family's dogs. Growing up we had many dogs in our home, small to large, puppies to elderly, and have cared for them. I also have 4 dogs of my own and we have had 3 litters of AKC purebred puppies. I am most available for boarding as I do work during the day on weekdays but we are happy to have dogs come and have someone to let them out frequently during the day until I get home if needed. We do have lots of baseball games for our 3 boys so will need to pop in and out at times. Otherwise I am available for boarding most days of the week, unless out of town for activities for our 3 boys. I have a fenced yard and 4 friendly and active dogs: 3 German Shorthaired Pointers (ages 7, 5.5 and 2) and a Corgi (age 3). Our boys are ages 12, 10 and 7.
About: Hello! Pleasure to meet you! My name is Craig and I am ready to take such good care of the furry members of your family! I have had dogs and cats in my family since I was 5 years old and know how important good quality care can be for them. I've been a pet sitter for family and friends since graduating high school, and would love to meet you and your dogs and/or cats. This is my life! Your pets will be the most important thing to me as I take care of them. I am available most week days and weekends, and am available for walks/outside time, whenever they need. I will walk, play with, and care for your pets throughout the day both while in my apartment with them, as well as in the yard. With your approval, I am also always able to take them to local dog parks for some free running.
About: What sets me apart? When your pet is in my care (at my home or your own), I make them my priority from start to finish and treat them like my own. When guest dogs are staying in my home I sleep with them in our spare bedroom (no kenneling at night or during the day unless you request I do so) and if I'm house sitting you can rest assured that I will leave your home and pets as good or better than I found them. I never charge extra for walks, playing fetch, taking them on a car ride, or doing an activity they enjoy. I want your pet to feel like they're on vacation, too :) When I'm house sitting for a client I aim to be there the entire time, and since I work remotely (as long as you have quality wi-fi) I am able to work from your home - this means your pet gets even more time and attention, and if I do have to leave it will only be for a very short period and I will communicate this to you prior. If you do not need/want me there 24/7 we can discuss and adjust price based on what we agree upon during our meet and greet. I aim to be as flexible as possible to meet both your need and your budget... I know this is an investment! I am here because I love the idea of helping other pet-parents know their pets can be taken care of when they are busy or want to enjoy time away with loved ones. I am also here because anyone who knows me knows how much I love animals :) both my own and any animal I meet. I have experience with all sorts of animals and I'm equally as comfortable with both dogs and cats... big and small. I also have experience with tricky behaviors (aggressiveness, food guarding, potty training, learning to walk on a leash, teaching commands, etc.). I can administer medicine, communicate with vet offices effectively, and I am known for providing all of the updates/pictures/videos someone would like while I'm caring for their pet! For awareness, dogs and cats are kept separate in our home. We do this for safety :) There is an underground fence for our dogs and this is an option if your dogs are collar trained. If not, no problem - I am happy to take pets out on a leash. Safety is my top priority, so I will strictly follow the instructions given for your pet(s). When it comes to inside the home, I will closely monitor all play/interactions and if needed, I will separate and/or give primarily 1 on 1 time with your pet if that is what they require. Please note: if you live more than 45 miles from my address I do charge a 1x flat fee of $50.00 while house sitting. Similarly, if you live more than 25 miles from my address I charge a 1x flat fee of $12.00 for dog walking and/or drop-in visits. Thank you for your understanding!
About: My mother Michele has retired from Rover and has handed me the reins so to speak. My name is Nikki, i grew up with all different kinds of animals and have volunteered with the humane society for many years. I specialize with helping feral/aggressive animals when i can find the time. My mother calls me the animal whisperer 😊 My husband Ben and i will take jobs together so we have some more flexibility. He also grew up with animals, he has specialized with training huskies in the past. We have an 11 year old daughter that loves to help play with animals. Even in youth she has had a lot of experience with animals and is very respectful and patient. One of her favorite activities is to exercise with animals, so occasionally if I am watching an animal that is good with kids and requires exercise, I will bring her along to join in the fun! (With your permission of course) We have have 3 fur babies of our own, Gypsy, Mila and Blu 😊 My husband and I work 8AM-4:30 Monday-Friday and have weekends off. We will need to schedule around our work during the week, but our weekends are usually open! I give all animals the amount of affection and time they need. An animal will tell you how much or little attention they would like, you can hear it through their reaction to you. Patience is always a must. I have taught my daughter this as well. You cannot properly care for an animal unless you understand their personality.
