Highly-rated overnight sitters - Oconomowoc
“Jamie and her family took such good care of Rusty! It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family and they updated us with pictures and messages throughout our vacation. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!”
“Jennifer was awesome!! She provided us with pictures and updates of how our dog Rocky was doing with her, which was very nice. Jennifer was very personable and easy going - a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her and will be using her to watch Rocky again in the future.”
“Dana is amazing! This was my first time using a pet sitter and she was a perfect fit. She sent plenty of pictures and videos and made me feel so comfortable. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone. My dog loved playing with her two pugs!”
“Madison and Jeff were very easy to communicate with and kept us advised of all of Roscoe’s activities with texts and pictures . Their boys were very good playmates and kept Roscoe very busy. At night the boys setup “camp” in the living room and slept with Roscoe. Awesome Family!”
“Brooke and Robbie are AMAZING!! They are both so kind, friendly, and clearly very big animal lovers. I was a little nervous to leave Brodie with someone new, but my worries went away immediately after meeting them, as well as their super sweet dog Moxie. Brooke was very responsive to messages, sent me really sweet pics and updates while I was away, and was more than flexible with my schedule as far as drop off/pick up went. I could tell Brodie had a great stay and was sad to leave his new friends! 5 star experience all around, and so excited that I’ve found our new go-to dog sitters :)”
“Josh and Cheryl were absolutely incredible with our dog, Tuck. He’s a high-energy, challenging pup who needs a lot of stimulation, and they went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for, engaged, and happy. They were attentive, active, and cared for him like their own. When his collar broke, they even bought him a new one without hesitation—such a thoughtful gesture that speaks to how much they truly care. We also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t recommend them more highly—if we could give more than 5 stars, we would!”
“We are so very grateful for Marie. She welcomed our doggy into her house with all the love and attention we could hope for. We were blessed with photos while we were traveling which gave us comfort and made us smile. Our dog came back to us, happy, healthy, clean, and comfortable, which was perfect. Thank you again, Marie.”
“Teddy had the best time with Nayibe and Maria this past weekend! They sent several picture and video updates while we were away and it was clear that Teddy was having a blast and was well cared for. Thank you!”
“Anna and her family are so amazing! Laidback and took care of my pups like they were their own. They have a huge property for the pups to play and run. She sent me updates and pictures every day so I knew what they were up to while was gone. 10/10 recommend!”
“This was the absolute BEST experience we could have hoped for! If I could have given more than 5 stars, I would have! Mary and her family took such GREAT care of Penny Bean while we were away! They walked her, bathed her, and sent photos all week long (because they knew how worried I was about leaving Penny Bean with strangers for a whole week). They were so reassuring, communicative and great, I just can't say enough! Penny and their dog Teddy seemed to get along well. I could not be happier with my choice of boarding providers. Will DEFINITELY use them again! If you are at all concerned about leaving your pup somewhere while you travel, I'd HIGHLY recommend Mary and her family - they ARE FANTASTIC!”
“Gianina was a great host to Kona! She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend! She had a great yard for him to explore, and she took him on nice walks. We will definitely book with her again if we travel!”
“5 stars!! ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 💫 ⭐️ Jessica is amazing! She graciously dealt with our uncertain and hetic schedules. She went over and above, driving to my home to pick my dog up. Even when he was initially bashful/scared, she waited and took extra time. Gave him extra love and care, car rides, treats, and nap time together. I felt he was safe, content, and at ease while in Jessica’s home. We will definitely be hiring her again!!”
“Alex took such great care of Banksy. She was able to accommodate a bit of a last minute booking after our other arrangements fell through. If we lived near Oconomowoc, Alex would be a repeat sitter for Banksy! He had a blast, and we received photos and updates throughout his stay!”
“Monique took great care of my Rottweiler, Riley during her stay. Riley had so much fun that when it was time for her to leave she didn't want to go home! I appreciated the pictures and updates Monique provided me, to ensure all was well. I was also impressed with the dog report card I received with an overall report of Riley's behavior and activity while in Monique's care. Riley and I would absolutely love to have Monique care for her in the future.”
“Jack and Jenny were awesome! My dog Hops is an Australian shepherd and they took fabulous care of him. They were patient with some of his behaviors and respected his boundaries and space. He seemed extremely comfortable with them by the end of the week. They sent photos, set up meet and greets beforehand, and asked questions so we knew they cared!”

“Brianna did a great job taking care of my two cats while we were out of town. She diligently looked for them when they were both hiding and checked in with me when she couldn’t find one of the cats. You can tell she is a very caring person. Will definitely use her again for future trips.”
“Ramsey was AMAZING!! Truly amazing!! From the moment I met Ramsey, I knew she was the one! Unfortunately, her schedule did not align with my initial needs, thus I begrudgingly selected another sitter for this trip. When that sitter refused to show up at my home without additional money (as I was already flying to my international destination), and was caught being dishonest on multiple issues, I was left with no sitter for my 7 day trip. I immediately reached out to Ramsey and she didn’t hesitate to come to my rescue!! When I explained my predicament, Ramsey jumped right in and we worked out the details, accommodating both our needs. Ramsey was very communicative, send photos and videos, and raised an issue of some congestion to watch. She fed and watered Mina, cleaned her litter box, administered transdermal medication, and played with her. She kept her engaged, introducing her to a bird channel on YouTube as well. Ramsey also cleaned up some vomit from the carpet and dealt with an unfortunate toilet situation from another fill-in caregiver. But, the pièce de résistance was that she made her way to the house during the blizzard to be sure Mina had enough food and received her medication even though I told her that her personal safety was more important. Really, I can’t say enough about Ramsey. She truly goes above and beyond!”
“Cindy was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my boys while we were away for a week. She went above and beyond in the services she provided. It put my mind at ease knowing she was here while we were on vacation. We received updates and pictures during her drop ins and I feel Cindy took care of my cats as though they were her own. Thank you for doing a wonderful job!!!”
“Julie was so kind and took great care of our cat while we were away. Truly such a sweet person who loves animals! Our cat was so happy when we came back and Julie went the extra mile to send us photos while we were away to give us peace of mind. She even offered to check in on her when our flight was delayed. Definitely would recommend her to all and we look forward to booking her in the future!”
“Katelyn did a wonderful job of taking care of our 2 fur babies and our home. She sent pics and videos to us on a daily basis and asked questions when she needed to. I would highly recommend her”
About: I have a special place in my heart for cats of all personalities, whether they’re playful and curious, independent and observant, or a little shy and need time to warm up. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a familiar environment, so my goal during every visit is to keep things as stress-free and comfortable as possible. I move at your cat’s pace, respect their space, and make sure they feel safe while you’re away. During each drop-in visit, I provide: • Feeding and fresh water • Litter box cleaning and tidying • Playtime or quiet companionship (depending on your cat’s mood) • Medication if needed • Plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re doing well Whether your cat loves attention or prefers a calm, quiet presence nearby, I adjust each visit to match their personality. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to the little details that make a big difference. Things to let me know about your 🐱: • Litter box routine and location • Favorite hiding spots or hangout areas • Comfort level with new people You can travel or focus on your day knowing your cat is in caring, capable hands. I’d love to meet you and your cat 🐱 let’s set up a meet & greet! 🐾
“Lisa is an amazing pet sitter. She communicates regularly and details, which i needed. She sends really good photos and videos that I enjoyed!! My 2 cats loved her, I could see it in the videos. She is reliable and keeps everything tidy. And she is willing to do extra things if needed. She is the perfect pet sitter for me and my cats!! Julie Keck”

About: Cats have always been a big part of my life, and I have the most experience caring for them. I have owned and cared for cats for as long as I can remember and truly understand their unique personalities and needs. In addition to caring for my own cats, I have fostered cats and helped raise kittens, giving me experience with young cats that require extra attention and care. I am also comfortable caring for senior cats and understand the patience and gentleness they may need as they age. I am experienced with administering medications and even giving veterinary-required shots at home when needed. Whether your cat needs playtime, quiet companionship, medication, or specialized care, I am attentive, patient, and committed to making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you are away.
“Audrey was very responsive, supportive, and helpful while we were away for work, taking care of our cats. She would send daily pictures and a give us a report of how the kittens were doing! She was great!”
About: I grew up with three cats and have always been very comfortable caring for them and understanding their different personalities and needs. I have experience feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playing with cats, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also regularly stay at three different families’ houses when they go out of town to care for their pets, and I help my grandma with her Rover pets as well. In addition to my experience with cats, I have two dogs of my own and helped train my puppy, so I am very patient, responsible, and experienced around animals of all kinds.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Oconomowoc
“We had a last minute booking that they were able to accommodate. Great communication before and during stay. We loved getting pics and video, too! Boone well loved and comfortable during his stay. Came home a very happy guy.”
About: I love animals and would love to give you the peace of mind while you are gone. My husband and I understand the importance of finding the right Rover sitter. We both grew up with large breed dogs but I have also had toy breeds. I currently am a stay at home mom and will rarely need to be gone from home for very long. Your pet is my priority while they are in my care and I look forward to spending time with them. The way that I would care for your pets is how I would my pets. They could possibly get better treatment than mine at home… but don’t tell my dog that!
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with our little sweet pup. He had a walk, breaks, fun with his ball. Heather was extremely accommodating and flexible. Once you meet her, she outs you at immediate ease. Will happily use her again!”
“I dropped off Moose (5 yr border collie mix) for the first time for daycare and to my surprise, he had separation anxiety issues (sitting by the door, whining). Madison was so kind and patient. I received texts updating me how he was doing. Eventually...success! I got a picture of Moose laying next to Madison on the couch looking calm and content. This was a good experience all around. Thank you!”
“Molly takes the best care of my pup! She provides updates and gives him so much attention, he always comes home exhausted! She is excellent and I highly recommend for anyone needing boarding or daycare!”
About: I have always had a dog growing up, so I learned from a very young age how to care for a pet. Friends and family have trusted me to take care of their dogs since I was around 12 years old. This includes stopping in the house to take them to the bathroom and feeding them, as well as giving medication if needed. Lots of snuggles and playtime too of course! I have taken care of dogs in the client's home for up to a week and cared for them at my home as well. No need to worry about any complex feeding schedules. I can manage it all. I am very comfortable with any age, breed, and sized dog! I have a one-year-old pup, so I am very familiar with training and puppy classes. I have volunteered at the humane society and when I was in high school, I job shadowed at a veterinary clinic. I currently work as a substitute teacher so my schedule is extremely flexible! During the summer months I am completely open. Weekdays and weekends any time of day. I make my own schedule so there will be no conflicts. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for some off leash playtime! My dog loves to run around playing fetch with a ball or stick. I have a walking path across the street from my home and am walking distance to nature hill for some extra exercise. I always have water, waste bags and small treats with me when going on walks. (My dogs personal favorites are cheerios). I am comfortable walking with any leash, collar or harness. I have two kennels in my living room if your dog needs to be crated. At least one crate is big enough to fit a large or XL dog. I have a baby gate in front of my stairs, and the basement door is always shut. I personally love going to the pet store or drive thru to get my pet a pup cup! I would be more than happy to take your dog for an adventure and for some extra love and enrichment!
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I love to walk and play with them and also have snuggle time if they like that. My schedule is flexible to accommodate their needs! I have not done injections but am willing to do if trained I’m retired so I have plenty of time to care for your pet in my home or come to your home for check-ins and walks. I have a fenced yard and am close to a local state park for long walks. I also live in a very walkable subdivision. I don’t mind a well behaved pet on furniture.
About: I have cared for animals my entire life and truly believe they are part of the family. Over the years, I’ve had hands-on experience with many different types of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, horses, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, amphibians, and more. Animals are my passion, and caring for them genuinely brings me joy. Whether it’s providing companionship, playtime, feeding, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I would give my own pets. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for by someone who is experienced, attentive, and truly loves animals. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I prioritize making sure animals receive attentive and reliable care. I am currently available during the day, which allows me to be flexible and attentive to your pet’s needs. On weekdays, I do drop off and pick up my two children from school (ages 8 and 10), but outside of those short times my schedule is very open. This allows me to provide consistent care, visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship for your pets. Because I structure my day around the animals I’m caring for, you can feel confident that your pet will receive dependable attention and thoughtful care while you’re away. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets, whether they are in my home or their own familiar environment. My home sits on nearly one acre with an unfenced yard, which allows for plenty of outdoor play and exercise. Dogs can enjoy time outside on leash, and off-leash play can be discussed depending on the dog’s training and owner preferences. Inside my home, my own pets have separate spaces, which allows visiting animals to be safely and comfortably separated if needed. This helps ensure a calm and secure environment for everyone. I am also happy to care for pets in their own homes. I am very respectful of clients’ homes and always follow instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s normal routine. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive care including feeding, playtime, companionship, exercise, and administering medications if needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away.
“Just like everyone else, Teddy and I love her! Great home away from home for your fur baby. ? We’ll be coming back over and over again. I’m pretty sure he would’ve been happy to move right in with her permanently ❤️”
About: Hello! My family and I love animals. We've been on Rover since January 2024! We currently have 2 indor cats and have backyard chickens (in coop) that are pets and lay eggs for us. We live in a quiet Hartland neighborhood in a cul-de-sac that is very low traffic. Part of our yard is fenced for play and potty breaks, and I love taking walks around our neighborhood. The majority of the week, my husband is working from home or I am home. The longest your pet may be left is 6 hours if staying with us during the work week. So usually someone is there to spend time with your pet! We are available any day of the week for boarding. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac. I always practice sit-stay when opening the door to prevent bolting out. Part of our yard is fenced and outside the fence your pet will always be leashed. If I am away for a short period and it's needed for safety or per your preference, we do have a large crate and an enclosed pet gate.
“Himaja and her family are sweethearts. While Princess was a nervous (she is generally very skittish) they gave her the patience and grace to help her feel at ease. They were very attentive to her needs.”
About: Hello! I'm Susu and I would love to care for your pet. I've been caring for animals since a very young age. My family and I would always bring in and care for fosters and strays, along with our own. Learning to train pups at such a young age has made it one of my biggest passions. I understand that every dog is different and it's all about learning who they are. I adapt and adjust to any dogs needs until they are happy and comfortable. Of course playtime is great but I will also inforce balance by having them do tricks and giving rewards. I believe in positive reinforcement and encouraging them to be their best furry selves. I will truly love your pet like my own. I do have a dog of my own named lexus. She is a rescue so she can be a little wary of strangers but is never shy around another furry friend! She has been socialized all of her life and loves to run and play. She understands social cues very well so if the other dog is uninterested in playing she will leave them alone. If Lexus and your dog meet I'm sure they will be best of friends! Whether it's just a walk or they stay a few nights I cant wait to meet your pup! My schedule is very flexible. I am a stay at home mom, photographer, mua and an artist. I am open to last minute scheduling if needed or scheduling something further in advance. Something consistent and on going would be preferred but if it’s just a one time thing that is okay with me as well! For walks we will go on a walk around the block. If needed we will work on not pulling the leash. For a boarding visit I will get them all set up and comfortable in my house. If it’s nice out we will go for a walk and play outside. Playing indoors as well and working on tricks they know or maybe learning a new one. Potty breaks will be provided whenever needed and food will be given as directed.
“Wonderful, wonderful family!! We couldn’t be happier with our first doggie daycare experience! Our Rosie girl was so well taken care of and had a great time!! We’ve already rebooked!! Thank you so much for the best care!! Oh and all the fun pics and videos!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and in our home, pets are truly family. I’m a mom to one little boy and also a proud dog mom to my fur babies. My family and I are all animal lovers, and we understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. We have rescued two of our family pets, one who has since passed and our current dog, Ollie. Because of Ollie, we know firsthand how important a safe and secure yard is. We live on an acre in Sussex with a fully fenced-in yard, which gives dogs plenty of space to safely run, play, sniff, and enjoy being outside. My husband and mom both work from home, so there is almost always someone here. This allows pets to have frequent potty breaks, outdoor time, attention, and company throughout the day. We love making dogs feel like part of our family while they are with us. I care for every pet the way I would want someone to care for my own, with patience, love, attention, and lots of updates. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, cuddle, or explore the yard, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved during their stay. I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule. I am available for pet sitting at a clients home. I am also available for early morning walks or after work, and even drop in visits during the day. I care for other’s pets as I would want anyone to treat my own pets. I believe our pets are part of the family and I would want anyone to treat my pet to the best of their abilities.

“Kami has been great on her weekly walks with our pup June. She communicates in advance and leaves detailed recaps of their adventure. She shows up for our pup rain or shine. She’s been great with our dog and an all around accountable and trustworthy walker!”
About: We recently moved back to our roots to a spot right off South St. In Oconomowoc. We had our dog sitting business in San Diego, CA and will miss our furry friends so much! My husband and I both love animals very much and have the perfect set-up to host. We enjoy morning and evening cuddles and allow dogs on the couch and bed :) We will take care of your pup just the same as we care for our own. We have a 4 year old mutt that we adopted 3 years ago who has brought so much joy to our life! She loves to play and enjoys the dog park/hanging around other dogs as much as she can. She loves walks around the lake as I am sure your pup will too! We both have experience taking care of other dogs and have dog sit for many of our friends and family members for extended periods of time when they are out of town. We can provide pictures as little or as often as you would like. Excited to meet your furry friend soon! I currently work 4 days of the week and have every Thursday off. My husband works remotely from home so he is able to tend to your pups needs all day. This schedule works great for our pups that need frequent potty breaks and attention. We have long leashes attached to our back deck so the dogs can enjoy the sun and being outdoors as much or as little as they would like without having to worry about them wandering off! Moxie loves basking in the sun and shade out there as I am sure yours would too! Water bowls always provided and refreshed as needed.

“Jamie and her family took such good care of Rusty! It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family and they updated us with pictures and messages throughout our vacation. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!”
“Jennifer was awesome!! She provided us with pictures and updates of how our dog Rocky was doing with her, which was very nice. Jennifer was very personable and easy going - a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her and will be using her to watch Rocky again in the future.”
“Dana is amazing! This was my first time using a pet sitter and she was a perfect fit. She sent plenty of pictures and videos and made me feel so comfortable. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone. My dog loved playing with her two pugs!”
“Madison and Jeff were very easy to communicate with and kept us advised of all of Roscoe’s activities with texts and pictures . Their boys were very good playmates and kept Roscoe very busy. At night the boys setup “camp” in the living room and slept with Roscoe. Awesome Family!”
“Brooke and Robbie are AMAZING!! They are both so kind, friendly, and clearly very big animal lovers. I was a little nervous to leave Brodie with someone new, but my worries went away immediately after meeting them, as well as their super sweet dog Moxie. Brooke was very responsive to messages, sent me really sweet pics and updates while I was away, and was more than flexible with my schedule as far as drop off/pick up went. I could tell Brodie had a great stay and was sad to leave his new friends! 5 star experience all around, and so excited that I’ve found our new go-to dog sitters :)”
“Josh and Cheryl were absolutely incredible with our dog, Tuck. He’s a high-energy, challenging pup who needs a lot of stimulation, and they went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for, engaged, and happy. They were attentive, active, and cared for him like their own. When his collar broke, they even bought him a new one without hesitation—such a thoughtful gesture that speaks to how much they truly care. We also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t recommend them more highly—if we could give more than 5 stars, we would!”
“We are so very grateful for Marie. She welcomed our doggy into her house with all the love and attention we could hope for. We were blessed with photos while we were traveling which gave us comfort and made us smile. Our dog came back to us, happy, healthy, clean, and comfortable, which was perfect. Thank you again, Marie.”
“Anna and her family are so amazing! Laidback and took care of my pups like they were their own. They have a huge property for the pups to play and run. She sent me updates and pictures every day so I knew what they were up to while was gone. 10/10 recommend!”
“Alex took such great care of Banksy. She was able to accommodate a bit of a last minute booking after our other arrangements fell through. If we lived near Oconomowoc, Alex would be a repeat sitter for Banksy! He had a blast, and we received photos and updates throughout his stay!”
“Monique took great care of my Rottweiler, Riley during her stay. Riley had so much fun that when it was time for her to leave she didn't want to go home! I appreciated the pictures and updates Monique provided me, to ensure all was well. I was also impressed with the dog report card I received with an overall report of Riley's behavior and activity while in Monique's care. Riley and I would absolutely love to have Monique care for her in the future.”
“Jack and Jenny were awesome! My dog Hops is an Australian shepherd and they took fabulous care of him. They were patient with some of his behaviors and respected his boundaries and space. He seemed extremely comfortable with them by the end of the week. They sent photos, set up meet and greets beforehand, and asked questions so we knew they cared!”
“Gracie had an amazing stay with Joanne (& her family!) I enjoyed the communications and pictures during Gracie’s time in their home. Gracie enjoyed playtime with the kids and with the resident dog, Olivia. She had her kennel available, but enjoyed cuddles with their teenage son and quickly made herself a part of the family. I will certainly consider booking for future stays, and recommend Joanne to others!”
“Sommer and her family were fantastic. We felt comfortable the entire time we were gone and thoroughly appreciated the updates given. Will certainly book with her again.”
“Ruby is fabulous!! Otis was given excellent care and he had a blast at Ruby’s. I’d give her 100 stars if possible, but five big stars will have to do. Thanks again Ruby, we’ll see you 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!”
“Ellen did a wonderful job caring for our dog. She provided updates and pictures throughout the stay, and was extremely prompt and responsive. Our dog had a blast playing with her dogs, and enjoyed her large fenced in yard—I think it was hard to leave his new friends to come home!”
