“Bruce loves spending time with Tammie! She takes him on lots of walks and gives lots of love. In addition, I was on a work trip and my flight was canceled last night, then delayed today. Tammie graciously managed the uncertainty and made the situation less stressful for me, knowing that Bruce was in good hands. I’m forever grateful that Tammie treats Bruce like her own ❤️”
“Brandi is AMAZING!! She has training and years of experience with dogs. She is gentle and kind, and 100% trustworthy. She is so fun, and sent updates everyday while we were on vacation. I can’t say enough about Brandi. We were so thankful that she loved our pup while we were out of town.”
“Kara and Ben took great care of our dog, and on short notice! We appreciated their daily updates and photos. Our dog had a great time with their family! We would highly recommend Kara and Ben.”
“Marilyn was amazing!! When Nikko first met her, he instantly fell in love with her. She was great with communication and providing picture updates of him. He was spoiled with walks and play time. Highly recommend her!”
“This was our first time using Rover. The daily pictures they sent showed us how relaxed and comfortable our dog was. Shawn and Joey made this a great experience for us and we did not have to worry about our dog while we were away.”
“Christy and her family took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was on vacation. This was the longest I have had to leave them with non-family members, so I was a little nervous to leave them. But after our meet and greet, I felt totally comfortable with my decision to have her watch them. She sent daily updates and my babies were happy when I picked them up!”
“Morgan was amazing! She was very flexible with our timing needs, and so excited to care for Panzer. I appreciated the picture she sent about 2 hours into the day. I relaxed, knowing our dog was fitting in, and not stressed about missing us. Actually, I’m sure he was kept so busy he didn’t have a chance to miss us. Highly recommend Morgan!”
“Bethany watched Hazel for a brief overnight stay. Bethany was very engaged and knowledgeable. I am very confident with Hazel in her care. I hope to be able to use her services again.”
“Andrea was wonderful. My dog Gracie has severe anxiety and it wasn’t going to work, unfortunately. I ended up having to leave work and take her home. I felt bad for Andrea, but she reassured me she was fine with everything. Some dogs just don’t do well in other people’s homes. Anita”
“Nick is caring and active Boarder. He made Nikki and I comfortable with our first "sitter" experience and Nikki really took to him. She seemed really happy with him and Im really grateful for that. Im relieved that I can get away and trust that my dear dear fur child is cared for with such detail. Very grateful we know Nick!!”
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.
“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!”
“Eleanor loved staying with Laurie again. She takes wonderful care of dogs and sends pictures/updates! I can tell that she really cares about the animals when they are staying with her and wants them to be so comfortable…Thank you again!”
“Leora was very good with our fur baby while we went on a 7 day vacation . We got daily picture updates which the kids were always looking forward to and he looked happy. I definitely recommend Leora and will use her again.”
“We are so grateful we found Kris to watch our Pomeranian last minute! We got lots of pictures of him at his visit and it sounded and looked like he has an absolute blast! We will be recommending Kris to family and friends and definitely using her again!”

“Julia did a great job! She showed up at the agreed upon times and did exactly what was asked of her. Very grateful to have someone reliable to take care of my kitties when I am out of town.”
“Sydney watched my cat Promise in her home while I traveled for 2 weeks. Promise was very happy with her. She sent me regular updates. Promise is an only pet so tends to be a little territorial with other cats. Sydney has 2 cats. They were very well behaved around Promise & Sydney kept them all happy. She is a very good pet sitter and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch their furry friend.”
“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!”
“Melissa did a fantastic job caring for Oliver! I looked forward to receiving her updates each day and seeing the adorable photos she managed to capture of my boy :) I could tell Oliver was in great hands and enjoyed his time with her.”
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.)
“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 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.

About: I've taking care of dog for a year plus now. My friends and family trust and relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and have their pets stay overnight at my house. My house is especially a good environment for dog because my yard is fenced and the dog have their own furniture and their own room. I'm currently a stay at home dog mom and a bake at home so I have plenty of time to play and walk your pet which I love doing. My yard is fenced and I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company while he/she is here. I have plenty of toys and treats available for the dogs as well.

“Brandi is amazing! I needed a sitter at the last minute until my husband was released from the hospital and we live 1 and 1/2 hour’s from hospital so we were in a jam. Brandi was so nice and accommodating! My dog Auggie had a great time! It’s just he needed. Thanks again Brandi! ❤️”
“Absolutely amazing experience. Lovely family..so animal friendly. Our baby loves going to Morgan's home. She had the ability to learn how to be gentle with littles...run like crazy outside and play nice with other pups”

“Randee was so accommodating. He has a nice area for any dog to get there exercise and sunbathe. Tonka was certainly tired when he came home. We’ll definitely be asking Randee for another play date!”
“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!”
“Due to a family emergency, I needed last minute doggie daycare, but my regular provider was already booked. Leora allowed me to meet her on short notice. Thankfully, Leora and her fur babies, Kiwi and Daisy, made my boy, Toby, feel right at home. My boy seems happy to go to his new friends' home and content when he returns home. I trust Leora to watch after my fur kid and I do not trust easily. Thank you, Leora, for being a genuine pet lover.”
