“Jake had a great time. Catherine sent lots of pictures and video to show me and reassure me that Jake had fun and enjoyed all the other doggy playmates. Would definitely use her again and totally recommend her. She has a great back yard and makes homemade treats and food that even my fussy boy loves. He even came home with a couple extra toys. Thank you for taking such great care of Jake.”
“Victoria is a sweetheart, she took a last minute request and took a great care of my puppy, I can see on my pet that he was treated nicely and had a great time, actually he already miss her! Thank you for your time and for giving Kenji the care and love during this 2 days, you are amazing!”

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.

“I could tell Madisyn is a huge animal lover when she visited prior to caring for my cats. While I was away she gave my diabetic cat his insulin shots twice a day and ensured both were fed and they had plenty of water in their fountain. Thank you Madisyn!”
“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: I’ve had two cats of my own over the past 5 years, so I’m very comfortable caring for cats with different personalities, routines, and needs. I understand that every cat is different—some want lots of attention and playtime, while others prefer to take things at their own pace. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to keep up with feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, and whatever routine your cat is used to. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands!
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a freshman in high school. I used to let out my neighbors dogs and watch peoples cats whenever they needed someone and I was available. I’m currently only working part time so I’m looking for something to do on the side! I have plenty of extra time right now to take care of some pets! I have a fenced in yard for my two dogs who love to play along with a bigger section for them to run free. I also have a bunch of toys and things to keep my dogs happy.
About: I am responsible, kind and would be extremely protective of your fur-babies while I am with them. It is no problem for me to clean up messes, litter boxes or help with some medications. Play, exercise, feed or cuddle…your furbabies will be well taken care of. I bring with me lots of love and have been trained for many, many years with martial arts of various kinds, including MMA, and a previous competitive deadlifter- so your pet is safe with me for walks and the like. I can drop-in, walk, or just pet-sit! Thank you! Please call on me when needed, and I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies! I cannot be around cigarette, vape or marijuana smoke, so I am not available for homes where this has been, but, could still take your dog for a walk if I am only outside. I offer in your home pet services-(cat or dog- birds, and reptiles, too!) or dog walking. I can also come and clean your yard for a visit fee. :)
About: I had my first pet sitting experience when I was 13 years old, not including the family pet. I have cared for animals of all shapes and sizes since then. I love working with animals and learning about their personalities. I am okay with reactive animals and have worked with different ones. I am willing to work with your animal's needs in any way, including medication and certain training exercises that you request. I do not work a job at this time, but I fill my time with odd jobs for others while I wait for college to start back up in the fall! I like to stay busy and do anything from pet care, to shopping for others, to day care for family members! With that being said, my schedule is pretty flexible, especially with advanced notice! 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.
About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life, aside from when I was in the dorms during college. I currently own 2 cats and have recent experience with nail clipping, tooth brushing, and medication delivery. I am definitely a cat person and will make an effort to spend time with your kitty how she/he likes it (play time, lap time, snack time, etc.)
“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!”
About: I’ve had two dogs growing up, a mini boxer and a French bulldog. I’ve cared for them all my life. I have bathed, walked, fed, and gave them so much love. We got our Puppy when I was 14, so I have a lot of experience caring for puppies as well. I didn’t grow up in a home with cats, but I love them too. I’ve had lots of experience cat sitting and get along with them well too! I am a masters student at UW-Stevens Point, in the Natural Resources department. I will not be able to provide services mid day Fridays or Mondays, but I am flexible the rest of the week! I will always follow your directions and keep a good baseline of contact with you! I am not allowed to board pets in my apartment, but I will always be respectful of your space as well.

“Catherine was the best! And her home is the perfect setup for dogs to roam. She makes homemade dog food and chicken jerky and genuinely loves caring for dogs. Highly recommend - A+”
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.
“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!”
“Jennifer is absolutely amazing with our dog, Goose. She has been so patient and beyond understanding. Goose is a high energy dog, very stubborn, and anxious. She is always honest and always reliable. Jennifer has worked super hard with him and Jennifer’s is Goose’s favorite place to go! He looks forward to every Thursday and Friday. She is so flexible with scheduling, always sends pictures and updates, and I am always relaxed when he is in her care. If I could give her a million stars I would. I could not recommend her enough!”
“I am so glad that we found Becky to care for our dog Josie while we are away! Josie absolutely loved her stay and we could tell she was happy, very comfortable and well-loved! Josie has special needs and Becky’s compassion and care is exactly what we, and Josie needed! She is the best!”

“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.”
“Madisyn was wonderful with her first visit with Corrie, our 3-year old beagle. Madisyn also drove to us the night before to meet Corrie & learn about her routine. Madisyn is very easy to talk with, and it is very clear how much she loves animals, especially cats & dogs. She also sent some really great photos of Corrie when she was here. She is very trustworthy, and a great person to help out if needed, thanks Madisyn!!”
About: Hi, my name is Jena I currently live in Kellner, WI . Before moving here I lived in Texas for 4 years where I was also a professional dog sitter. Prior to living in Texas, I worked full time at a dog boarding kennel in Wausau, which gave me a ton of different experiences; in addition to the 8 years I have been working with Rover! I have a deaf, senior dog, Simba, and have experience in dealing with seniors and with special needs dogs. I also have experience in working with dogs that have severe separation anxiety and that struggle with being boarded in a traditional kennel environment. I can also handle dogs that may be considered "difficult", i.e. little/no recall, poor leash manners, poor obedience skills, resource guarding issues, and crate/kennel anxiety. I am willing to meet your dog where they are and help them thrive while they're with me! Dog Sitting is my full time job which means I am able to work around your schedule and be there as many times per day as needed. I can handle any dog, all I ask is that if your dog is not leash trained and you are wanting a walk to let me use a training tool to walk him/her!

About: I have had and taken care of dogs for 15 years. Additionally, I have been trusted by many neighbors to take care of their animals. My experience taking care of others animals includes cats and dogs of all sizes. I have experience taking care of senior dogs and puppies, this care includes medication administration as needed for seniors and training puppies. I am currently working full time with a set schedule so I have a reliable schedule that leaves me plenty of time to care for your furry friend. My days off are Friday and Saturday when I am available all day and I am available any other day of the week after 6pm. When I am caring for my pets or a client's pet, the pets safety and enjoyment is my top priority.
