“Once again Katie and DJ have taken excellent care of my special needs pup. He is so happy to go to their house, he doesn’t even care that I am leaving. LOL 😂 seriously amazing family that love the animals they care for.”
“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 fantastic. Onyx seemed like he had a good time and I knew he was well taken care of. She sent pictures and let me know how he was doing throughout the Stay. Would highly recommend.”
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!
“Scott, Ashley and family take such good care of our 92 lb. Weimaraner, Hank. He has a lot of energy and always does well when with the family. He gets at least 2 walks a day in addition to play time in their large fenced in yard. Hank recently stayed with the family for 25 days which is the longest we’ve left him with any sitter. Everything went very well. Scott is great about sending pictures and updates daily.”
“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.”
“Brooke and Robbie were fantastic with my pugs! They are so kind and sent lots of pics/videos during their stay. Brooke and Robbie administered their meds, took lots of walks, and gave my pugs all the snuggles! They truly love caring for pups, and I would definitely have my pugs stay with them again!”
“Sommer and her family took amazing care of our dog Butter! She came home very happy and tired from all the fun. This was the longest we’ve left her and we felt at ease the whole time with Sommer’s daily pictures. We definitely recommend Sommer and will use her in the future!”
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.
“Josie had a great time with Ashley, she was well cared for and even got to have some play dates with other dogs. Ashley was very communicative with us while we were out of town, putting us at ease knowing Josie was in good hands.”
“Heather was communicative and very accommodating, even making the time to pick up our Teddy from our wedding venue after his role in the wedding. Teddy had a great time and was so happy to stay with her!”
About: I have had dog from puppy to senior over the last 20yrs. I have watched friends dogs as well. Always enjoy being around the energy. I will have time starting after Thanksgiving to board dogs. My routine changes weekly, but can work around what is needed. It might be easiest to have dogs at my house. I have a nice sized backyard with room to run, fetch or just be outside. It is not fenced in, but we have an invisible fence.
“Kortney was outstanding with our Belgian Malinois and our Border Collie! The dogs felt right at home, and she made sure we were comfortable as well! Highly recommend!”
“Dana is wonderful! She takes good care of Hunter and sends pictures/ videos often. We really appreciate all the attention she gives him, and she is also super flexible. Thanks again, Dana! We appreciate you!😊”
“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!”
“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!”
“This was Willow’s first stay with Jack and Jenny and she had a blast. She went on regular walks during her six day stay. We got regular updates and pictures so we felt at ease. They were even able to get Willow to take her medication (we were unsuccessful but Jenny knew just what to do). We will definitely be using Jack and Jenny in the future.”

“Kim was amazing...we were so grateful for the updates and pictures! It's nice to have such peace of mind when you are gone. Even though she never saw one of our cats for 12 days (we knew this would happen), she assured us they were both eating. Wouldn't hesitate to use Kim again!!!”
“Kami was wonderful and took great care of our cats while we were away from home. She gave them plenty snacks and provided us with a thorough report on the wellbeing of our fur babies. 10/10 would use her services again 😄”
“Brianna was amazing!! My cat was not being a good cat and Brianna stuck through it, modified how she interacted with him, and kept me involved the entire time. She is professional and positive in interactions.”
“Julie took care of our 4 cats and she was reliable, kind and trustworthy and we felt comfortable leaving them in her care. We will definitely use her again. :)”
“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”
“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”
“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: 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.
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.
“Cindy Is the ideal cat sitter. I wanted to not have to worry about Baby Bear having a clean litter box and eating his wet and dry food. Cindy was there for him and he’s happy! That’s what a great pet sitter does.”
About: At a young age i was brought to America from russia ; I instantly fell in love with my family pet Toby. She was a black lab mixed with Australian shepherd. I didn't speak english very well but Toby made me feel I was understood and this is where I found my love for animals. Few years later our next door neighbor gave us a cat and she was pregnant. 6 kittens later and out of 6 I managed to convince my parents to keep 4. A year later I found another cat in out country yard and kept her as well. Having 1 dog and 5 cats was a big task but I loved it. I currently have a very needy loving bulldog named merlin who loves all the attention from his mama. Merlins enjoy of life are sitting on his mama's lap and wanting to play as soon as he's had his maybe 3 nap in by 12pm after the well deserved nap merlin is all ready to use his energy on running, jumping, and giving kisses. My cat Ripley was going to be put down since she was at the pet shop for over a year. She wasn't wanted because she wasn't friendly towards everyone. She was as described as she was selective of who she'd come down her shelf for. My family visited her frequently and eventually I decided to adopte her. I offer to watch my apt neighbors dogs and any friends that ask me to watch their animals. I would love to get to meet your pet/s and give them attention when your away untill your return back. I take care of merlin ( English bulldog), Ripley (maine coon), 2 Russian tortoises( 8 yrs I've had them, probably will be passed down to my future husbands kids) , a hamster( had him for 3 yrs now ). I love sharing my attention to all the animals that I have and meet. I look forward to providing the best care for your pet/s while you are busy making money for the Biscuits or take a well deserved break from the every day to day. I currently can not pet sit at my apartment for a long period of time. I have occasionally watched a dog for a weekend but with prior meet/ greet and making sure my dog gets along with your pet/s. Im more then happy to watch your pet/s at your home. I'm comfortable walking your pet/s,feeding, treats, and play time indoors or outdoor. I don't prefer to give medication. If given directions and your pet/s has been on it and no emergency symptoms I can on request give medication. I do have a experience giving baths to kittens to dogs with some guidance of what your preferences are going about it im more then happy to do this service. I'm very flexible with my hours for the most part and with communication I'm glad to help out any way ; while your away from your pet/s.
“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!”
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.

“Kristin took great care of Ace the 2 days he stayed there. She tries to make him comfortable even though he was suffering from separation anxiety. She sent photos both days. Thank you.”

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!
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.
“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.”
“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!”
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.
About: As an Airbnb super host I take pride in my customer experience. Over the past 5 years I've had over 300+ five star reviews. I'd like to carry my experience and care to your animals and provide the best service possible. I grew up providing care for pitbulls and Rottweilers, but love all size and breeds of dogs. I'm a huge advocate of pet therapy, and understand the benefit for both the dog and the handler. While caring for your pet I intend to have a different experience with every encounter. Weather it's going for a long walk, playing catch, catching some rays, or going for a swim. I'm also continuing my education in pet message and alternative medicine for those pets of special needs.

“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: I am an animal lover and will take great care of your pet. I have experience owning dogs and currently own a 5 year old Doberman Pinscher named Moon. I am extremely active and love to take dogs on walks, to the park to play and outside to get fresh air. Having experience volunteering at the humane society, I am aware of different pet personalities and cautious of their well-being and comfort. I will honor the owner's rules and routines in order to make the experience positive for all parties involved. I live in an area great for walking dogs and running them with toys. If the pet needs extra attention or additional exercise, I will be able to accommodate with my flexible work schedule. Thanks!
“Rosie hadn't been here for a few months and they took such amazing care of her, as always. We are so grateful for this family who loves our dog as much as we do. Highly recommend!”

About: I have volunteered for 3 different organizations as a dog walker, trainer and foster. I love working with dogs and to exercise their body and minds. I work from home full-time.

I have a large, private backyard and a very friendly resident dog. We are a family that trains and cares for dogs with compassion and patience.

I would love the opportunity to meet yours! I am prioritizing Rover as my main job so I have ample availability for walks and drop-ins, as well as overnight stays and house sitting. I will let your dogs get to know me on their own terms, I believe they have great discernment and would love to build trust with them. I am comfortable crating them and doing any special things that are apart of their routine to make them as happy and relaxed as possible, even if that means giving them a special treat and tucking them into bed :)
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. My pet care experience started in high school while babysitting for a family who had a dog. They would often ask me to walk and help care for their dog while watching the kids, which helped me become comfortable handling dogs of different personalities and routines. I’ve also completed multiple overnight stays and extended pet sitting jobs where I cared for pets in their homes, making sure they stayed happy, safe, and on schedule while their owners were away. More recently, I got my first dog of my own and have been fully responsible for his daily care, training, exercise, and routine while balancing school and work. Having my own dog has given me even more hands on experience and strengthened my understanding of the patience, consistency, and attention pets need every day. I care for a dog with anxiety who requires special medication and extra attention. This experience has made me very flexible, patient, and attentive to detail. I’m used to closely monitoring behavior and making sure his routine, comfort, and needs are always taken care of. My dog has access to his crate, bed, or can sleep upstairs with me, whichever makes him most comfortable. His crate is his safe space where he likes to relax and decompress. Safety is very important to me. Since our yard is not fenced, my dog is always supervised outside and kept on a leash. I also stay alert to wildlife in the area to keep him safe, since he’s a small dog. When caring for another person’s pet, I ask for written care instructions and prefer to meet the dog beforehand so both the pet and I feel comfortable during the transition.
About: About Me: Hello! I’m Jenna. After taking some time off to focus on early motherhood, I am thrilled to be back on Rover offering house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking! I hold a BA in Corporate Communications and Human Resource Management from UW-Whitewater and work remotely for my corporate job. Because my office goes wherever my laptop goes, I can provide flexibility, frequent check-ins, and daytime companionship for your pets right in the comfort of their own home. My Experience & Specialties: Animals have been a part of my life since day one. I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, cows, and pigs, and spent years fostering puppies. Over my 15+ years of pet care experience (including 6 wonderful years on Rover). I have also cared for a few farm animals such as horses, donkeys, goats, and chickens! Whether you have a household pup, kitty, or a small hobby farm, I have the hands-on experience to keep everyone happy and fed. Home Care & House Sitting: When house sitting, I treat your home with the utmost respect. I am highly organized, clean, and detail-oriented. I’ve done this plenty of times and am always happy to handle extra tasks like watering your plants, bringing in the mail, and keeping your space tidy while you are away. Note: Back at my own home, I'm a proud mom to an 8 year old cat named Bear and a toddler. For drop-in visits and walks, my toddler might occasionally tag along in a stroller, so I love working with pets who are comfortable and friendly around kids! I can't wait to give your pets the best care possible. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing your home and your fur babies are in excellent hands! I work remotely for Kohls Corporate, which gives me the opportunity to be there whenever for your pet. I can be present caring for your dog all day while working from my laptop from home! I have a cat at home. She is very spoiled. She enjoys her cat tree watching birds outside and her many naps. I’m home all day every day usually so she gets plenty of attention. While Dogsitting working from home will allow me to provide the best attention and care for your pets!
About: At a young age i was brought to America from russia ; I instantly fell in love with my family pet Toby. She was a black lab mixed with Australian shepherd. I didn't speak english very well but Toby made me feel I was understood and this is where I found my love for animals. Few years later our next door neighbor gave us a cat and she was pregnant. 6 kittens later and out of 6 I managed to convince my parents to keep 4. A year later I found another cat in out country yard and kept her as well. Having 1 dog and 5 cats was a big task but I loved it. I currently have a very needy loving bulldog named merlin who loves all the attention from his mama. Merlins enjoy of life are sitting on his mama's lap and wanting to play as soon as he's had his maybe 3 nap in by 12pm after the well deserved nap merlin is all ready to use his energy on running, jumping, and giving kisses. My cat Ripley was going to be put down since she was at the pet shop for over a year. She wasn't wanted because she wasn't friendly towards everyone. She was as described as she was selective of who she'd come down her shelf for. My family visited her frequently and eventually I decided to adopte her. I offer to watch my apt neighbors dogs and any friends that ask me to watch their animals. I would love to get to meet your pet/s and give them attention when your away untill your return back. I take care of merlin ( English bulldog), Ripley (maine coon), 2 Russian tortoises( 8 yrs I've had them, probably will be passed down to my future husbands kids) , a hamster( had him for 3 yrs now ). I love sharing my attention to all the animals that I have and meet. I look forward to providing the best care for your pet/s while you are busy making money for the Biscuits or take a well deserved break from the every day to day. I currently can not pet sit at my apartment for a long period of time. I have occasionally watched a dog for a weekend but with prior meet/ greet and making sure my dog gets along with your pet/s. Im more then happy to watch your pet/s at your home. I'm comfortable walking your pet/s,feeding, treats, and play time indoors or outdoor. I don't prefer to give medication. If given directions and your pet/s has been on it and no emergency symptoms I can on request give medication. I do have a experience giving baths to kittens to dogs with some guidance of what your preferences are going about it im more then happy to do this service. I'm very flexible with my hours for the most part and with communication I'm glad to help out any way ; while your away from your pet/s.
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.
About: I've lived with animals my entire life. Growing up, we had five dogs, four cats, bunnies and guinea pigs, snakes and lizards, fish, and chickens. Currently, while living at home in the summers, we have snakes, lizards, spiders, a cat, and three dogs, one of which is mine. My dog Winston is a service dog in training that my mom and I are owner-training. While I'm in no way a professional trainer, I can help with teaching or maintaining the basics with any dog. I'm currently home for the summer from school and waiting on an application for a part-time job. I am free most of the day right now, as I haven't started working yet. So, I can come over and take care of any pet's needs most any time. I can take care of your animals' needs any time, whether it's taking them on a walk, letting them outside, feeding, cleaning up, or playing with them. My dogs at home are crate trained, so if your dog also stays in a crate at certain points of the day or night, I can easily crate them.

“Once again Katie and DJ have taken excellent care of my special needs pup. He is so happy to go to their house, he doesn’t even care that I am leaving. LOL 😂 seriously amazing family that love the animals they care for.”
“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 fantastic. Onyx seemed like he had a good time and I knew he was well taken care of. She sent pictures and let me know how he was doing throughout the Stay. Would highly recommend.”
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!
“Scott, Ashley and family take such good care of our 92 lb. Weimaraner, Hank. He has a lot of energy and always does well when with the family. He gets at least 2 walks a day in addition to play time in their large fenced in yard. Hank recently stayed with the family for 25 days which is the longest we’ve left him with any sitter. Everything went very well. Scott is great about sending pictures and updates daily.”
“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.”
“Brooke and Robbie were fantastic with my pugs! They are so kind and sent lots of pics/videos during their stay. Brooke and Robbie administered their meds, took lots of walks, and gave my pugs all the snuggles! They truly love caring for pups, and I would definitely have my pugs stay with them again!”
“Sommer and her family took amazing care of our dog Butter! She came home very happy and tired from all the fun. This was the longest we’ve left her and we felt at ease the whole time with Sommer’s daily pictures. We definitely recommend Sommer and will use her in the future!”
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.
“Josie had a great time with Ashley, she was well cared for and even got to have some play dates with other dogs. Ashley was very communicative with us while we were out of town, putting us at ease knowing Josie was in good hands.”
About: I have had dog from puppy to senior over the last 20yrs. I have watched friends dogs as well. Always enjoy being around the energy. I will have time starting after Thanksgiving to board dogs. My routine changes weekly, but can work around what is needed. It might be easiest to have dogs at my house. I have a nice sized backyard with room to run, fetch or just be outside. It is not fenced in, but we have an invisible fence.
“Kortney was outstanding with our Belgian Malinois and our Border Collie! The dogs felt right at home, and she made sure we were comfortable as well! Highly recommend!”
“Dana is wonderful! She takes good care of Hunter and sends pictures/ videos often. We really appreciate all the attention she gives him, and she is also super flexible. Thanks again, Dana! We appreciate you!😊”
“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!”
“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!”
“This was Willow’s first stay with Jack and Jenny and she had a blast. She went on regular walks during her six day stay. We got regular updates and pictures so we felt at ease. They were even able to get Willow to take her medication (we were unsuccessful but Jenny knew just what to do). We will definitely be using Jack and Jenny in the future.”
