Personalized care for your dog or cat - Rice Lake

“Sarah was just great with our cockapoo and super nice, too. We sure appreciated that she could help us out boarding Winnie on a quick and unexpected short visit out of town. We would recommend her, but if you're reading this, don't take all of her open calendar spots because we'd love to use her again!!”

Rhonda K.

“Katie was great. She watched our doggo Morgan for 5 days while my husband and I were out of town. Morgan had a fun pack of dogs to run and play with on a large property off the beaten path. She sent us a few photos. Her youngest daughter and Morgan are now besties. 🥰 Would board Morgan here again in the future.”

“Arranging a stay with Sherry for our doggie was easy and flexible. We truly appreciate all the time and care she gave Loki, just like he was accustomed to at home. We had continuous updates via text daily, he went on many walks, played with toys...Sherry is the best, highly recommended!”

Robin F.

“Amanda and Derek were great! Brynlee was well cared for. We received updates and pictures! We will definitely use them again!!!”

“Tyler and Sophia did a great job with Saydee . They gave us frequent updates and pictures with the week long stay. Would use them again”

About: I’m experienced in senior and medical care, multiple animal care, providing a fun time, and so much more. I have two of my own dogs and a couple cats that are all spoiled. I would love to spoil yours! Monday-Friday I am available to care for animals throughout the whole day. Animals play a huge role in my everyday life and I would enjoy caring for yours. Either in my home or a clients home the animals needs come first. A schedule is set and maintained the entire duration of the stay to minimize stress. When caring for pets in my own home they are kept separate from my resident pets to minimize stress on all animals. Although if owner is comfortable all resident animals are very friendly.

About: I will walk dogs, take dogs for rides, give dogs baths, feed animals, play with them, and brush them. I will clean up accidents without a fuss. I can also n dispense medications. I do not clip nails. I get up at 4:00am. I work at 5:40 about an hour away so I have time in the morning to take animals out and give them morning routines. I will wake up earlier if I get multiple animals. I’m a morning person and don’t mind at all. I work until noon so I’m available then to do my next set of rounds. I don’t have anything structured other than dinner at 6:00 with my family and bedtime between 8:00-10:00. I can do more rounds in the evening. If you need over night, I can do that as well. I am originally from Green Bay so I do travel a bit so please schedule ahead if possible. If it’s a regular thing, I will make sure I give you enough notice when I will be out of town. I live with four adults, a dog, and two cats. I would love to bring animals in for boarding but not everyone agrees to that so I can house sit at your residence. I will clean up after the pets and myself but I am not your maid so the rest of your house will not be cleaned. If I become a regular and we develop a friendship, I could be swayed for extra cost.

About: Hello! I'll get right to it, I'm a dog trainer specializing in building members of the family. I am also a CGC Evaluator (Canine Good Citizen), so if you're looking for someone to help you throughout that process or if you're confident in your doggo and are ready to test, I'm your guy! I'm also a member as well as a Tester and Observer for The Alliance of Therapy Dogs. So if you end up getting an itch to volunteer, I will be able to certify and guide your team along the way! Assuming you pass our test that is 😉 Now as a travelling trainer I sometimes take on a few extra gigs like this to make ends meet. My personal dog Buddha is a service dog who has passed the PAT (Public Access Test). He is also a registered Therapy Dog through: The Alliance of Therapy Dogs. We are insured through the: Business Insurers of the Carolinas. He has the following titles: DN (Dock Diving Novice), FDG (Fit Dog Gold and below), TKP (Trick Canine Performer and below), VHM (Virtual Home Manners), CGC (Canine Good Citizen), CGCA (Canine Good Citizen Advanced), CGCU (Canine Good Citizen Urban), THDN (Therapy Dog) and THD (Therapy Dog). Buddha is now almost 5 yrs old. I also offer a stud service with Buddha if anyone is interested we can talk details through text, call, email, or Meet and. Greet style. What I'm saying is that if you'd like we could talk about my services as a trainer as well and I could show you and your little buddy some fun things to do, or perhaps help on something that has been a struggle. Whether it's a new obstacle or an older persistent one, we can overcome it. I free lance as a Pet Trainer and Respite Care Provider. We also work odd jobs for people in town so our schedule is always workable. I’ll have my daughter (almost driving age) with me on a 50/50 schedule as well as I have a service dog for myself. We can talk about this more should we get to that point! Depending on your comfort level, I’ll sometimes work with my girlfriend (also a sitter on Rover) to help complete gigs as well. She will occasionally have her two boys (16 & 14) with her as well. I understand this can be “a lot” so we’d all be more than willing to meet up beforehand to make sure everything would jive and fit together! How ever you instruct. Otherwise we feed, walk, play, and rest at specific times. Pets need and do well with structure. Putting together a good positive routine sets our fluffy buddies up for success.

“Dawn was excellent! I had no worries when I was away. My cats are elusive so not many photos - but I understand completely. I absolutely would ask for Dawn in the future and recommend her highly.”

About: I have owned a dog since I was 8 years old. I have been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to look after pets, to include walking, checking in, feeding, and bathing. I am a student at Winona State University and have way too much time on my hands. I love animals so I figure why not spend that time with the fur babies I live in the dorms on and on the Winona State campus. I would be happy to see what your pets are in their natural environments.

“Merry did a great job at taking care of our pets. She went above and beyond what was originally asked.”

About: I have had multiple dogs my entire life, & multiple cats. I currently have a mini Australian Shepherd at home & a grey cat! My golden retriever husky recently passed, but I have lots of experience with puppies & hyper dogs! I just have classes at UK, so lots of free time outside of class time! I am free on weekends & love to care for pets & love going on walks with dogs:) I have lots of training experience, & have even raised my own puppy & kitten from a very young age. I am also a very clean & organized person.

About: Calm, reliable cat sitter providing in-home care, feeding, litter cleaning, and playtime. I follow routines, build trust at your cat’s pace, and send updates daily.

About: Between the two of us, my wife and I have over 50 years of combined experience caring for animals. We both grew up in homes filled with pets — dogs, cats, and a few other critters — and from a young age, it was our responsibility to feed, train, walk, and care for them every day. Now, as a married couple of six years, we share our home with two happy, healthy dogs who are a huge part of our family. We understand what it takes to keep pets safe, comfortable, and loved — whether that means daily walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. Your pets will be treated like part of our family — with the same love, attention, and care we give our own. ❤️ We are home 7 days a week all the time (except for errands here and there). Dogs are able to go out whenever they need either to go potty and burn some energy We offer a safe, loving home where every pet is treated like family. Outdoor time is always supervised on leash, and crate care is available if preferred.

“This was our first time using Rover and I was a little nervous leaving our cats with someone new and for so long. Amanda came highly recommended and now I know why. She would always update us with pictures and how they were doing. I knew they were in good hands and didn’t have to worry about them when we were gone. I will certainly be using Amanda again to watch our cats.”

Alison T.

About: I’ve had cats and kittens for as long as I can remember. We currently have three and we make sure they are loved and clean!

About: Pup-mama to two golden doodles ages 10 and 4. Looking to transition to full-time pet care although currently working out of the home during the day. I currently work full time during the day but am home all evening and night to care for the pups. Overnight boarding is an option. I currently have an unfenced yard but will walk dogs throughout the evening. We plan to install a fence for the dogs after the winter season ends.

“Alec and Buddha did a great job taking care of our babies while we were gone. I felt completely comfortable having them at the house alone knowing he was going to be there twice a day to play with them and feed them. I never had to worry that they were in good hands. Alec was reliable and went above and beyond to even report on packages being delivered, etc. I will definitely use him again!”

Rachel S.

About: I've had many dogs of my own so I'm quite personal & I'm always excited to make new animal friends. Having many animals of my own I think sets me aside from others, I love to play and run around with dogs. I also can and will care for other pets or animals if it is necessary, which I also think sets me apart. I'm an athlete too so long walks & everything are not a problem, I enjoy walking and nature so going on walks would be wonderful. I like animal of all sizes. Also by having pets of my own, I understand a lot about dogs and how to care for multiple. I can do more than just play & walk them, I can bathe them & brush & most other hygiene needs.

About: Hi there! I’m Destiny & have owned an array of furry friends over the years. I have never NOT had a pup and have owned many different breeds. Currently I own cattle dogs- an Aussie named Marley and Heeler/Collie mix named Sadie. They are 4, I trained them myself & they are extremely well behaved and socialized. I offer boarding, day care, dog walking, and can bathe your pup before returning them home to you. I can also pick up and drop off when needed. I can also house sit and pup sit if that is your need/comfortability as well. I am up for & encourage meet & greets before bookings if you would like to meet myself, the pups and/or see the house and our setup before hand! I work during the normal school year as a nursing instructor. I am off during the summer and am home FULL TIME to dedicate ALL of my time & attention to the fur babies! I promise your baby will be tuckered out, loved on and well fed (to your instructions of course!) Boarding at my home: safety is my top priority with animal to animal interaction and human to animal interaction. If pups need more alone time/privacy, they can be housed separately from my dogs at all times as we have multiple access points from our home to our fenced in yard and gate sectioning in our house. I do walks daily with them and am outside with them as well for the majority of the day. Our fenced in yard has a dog pool and I have BUCKETS of toys for them to play with! If your pup leans toward the spicier side & is more protective when it comes to their toys, food, or water please let me know and separation accommodations can be made, no problem. All breeds are different and each pup is different. I can also give medications topically, orally, injections etc. I can provide hourly updates through text, video call, phone calls, whatever you would like! At minimum I send a daily update. In your home: as a nurse, safety is always my top priority. I am also extremely clean and organized. I can maintain your daily routine with your pup so they don’t miss much while you are away. Again, meet and greets I encourage so you and especially your pup are comfortable meeting me and being in your home. I’ll be their make-shift auntie while you are away! Whatever update/care you want them to have, you got it- even FaceTime dates so you don’t have to miss them much.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has owned and cared for four dogs since I was young. I understand how important pets are to families and treat every dog with patience, attention, and kindness. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow your dog’s routine, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work part time, so I’m available most weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate regular walks, drop-ins, and longer stays, giving your dog plenty of playtime, cuddles, and praise while ensuring consistent care. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I provide a secure, supervised environment, follow all instructions carefully, and give your pet love, attention, and reliable care at all times.

“Matt is fantastic! He showed up right on time, and braved the deep negative temperatures to give my dog a full, nice walk every time - was great about being flexible when my schedule slightly changed, and was very attentive and observant...also always provided info about each walk with a picture. Highly recommend and I've already booked him for more dog walking services! Thanks Matt!!”

About: My entire life I have been a major animal lover. I don't believe for one second we hadn't had a dog or cat growing up and that's how I liked it! In my free time, I go for walks with my dog and we frequent dog parks! We limit time inside if possible. I love watching dogs run free in a yard/park of some kind. My love for dogs is strong no matter what size, shape, gender, or breed. You can count on me to fulfill your pups’ every need. I am their friend and caretaker. Thank you for taking time to read my profile! I hope to hear from you soon! I am a small business owner and make my own schedule. However, there are days that are slower than others so I have breaks where I can pop out of work if I need to. I have nice walking paths near me, I visit the dog parks, and have a two small and medium size friendly dogs to keep your babies company! I shower any and every animal with love any chance that I get!

About: I am very reliable and even as a child took care of my neighbors dogs and watered plants when out of town! We have had animals since I can remember and they are our family. I currently work from home and run kids back and forth to their activities. I enjoy being busy and meeting new friends especially when dogs and cats are involved! I will make sure to get the details from you on how to properly care for yours! My animals are my other kids and are treated with respect and love.

“Taylor Is very reliable and communicative. She stayed in regular touch while I was out of town and sent adorable photos of my dog, Lucy, who clearly had a wonderful time on her long walks with Taylor. Would definitely book again!”
