About: Dogs have always been a huge part of our family. Last year, we said goodbye to our English Bulldog after 12 wonderful years, and while my family is not quite ready for another forever pup yet, I am excited to open our home and hearts to other dogs in the meantime. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have lots of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, and I'll treat your dog like part of the family. Whether your pup loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just relaxing company, I'm happy to provide a loving and comfortable environment. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide flexible scheduling, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of companionship and supervision while in my care. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits with a schedule that can accommodate most pet needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in the country on a full acre with a large fenced-in backyard, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run, explore, and play. Our home provides a calm, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed while away from their families. Because I work from home full-time, pets receive lots of supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. I’ll always treat your dog like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved during their stay.

“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.”

“Shyla is the best! So attentive and knowledgeable about cats. She kept us informed about any behavior she felt might be out of the ordinary, and sent photos and videos periodically so that we could see how he was doing. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about Calvin- We knew he was in good hands!”
“Alyssa was fantastic! This was only our second time leaving our puppy and the first time boarding him, he's got a lot of energy and still very much a puppy so we wanted to make sure we found the right fit for him. Alyssa sent us many pictures and updates and made Gilbert feel right at home, he absolutely loved her dogs too. If we need a sitter in the future we will absolutely be checking Alyssa's availability first. ❤️”
“Carly is a wonderful sitter. She sent great updates, very responsive when making reservation and when picking up Millie, I could tell she had enjoyed her stay with Carly…she went back to her after seeing me as if to say good bye, one more petting from her.🤗”
“If you want your pet to feel like they are home - this is it. Can't say enaugh good things about Melissa. Not only she rescued me with last moment stay but gave my dog most amazing care!”
“Tony was great with Archie. He sent photos and videos which I really liked to see. Archie looked like he really enjoyed himself. Would highly recommend Tony. Thanks again for having Archie in your home”
“Jason and his wife were awesome. We couldn't of asked for anyone better to watch our dog Ziggy. We really appreciated the many updates and how comfortable they made Ziggy feel. He really enjoyed his stay with Jason and his wife. Thank you so much!”
“She was amazing and very accommodating. My puppies seemed to enjoy their stay alot. I got pictures and updates. She responded rather quickly to any questions i had. I got back late from training and she was able to keep them another night, and she offered it to be free. She was very understanding and I plan to try and use her in the future. :)”

We feel VERY comfortable knowing that she is taking care of our babies on the days we work. We highly recommend Cayla!!”

Our timid cats all came out to greet her when she visited too! Thank you Emily for keeping our cats happy while we were gone!! We are so happy we chose you and would definitely rebook Emily in the future!”

It was our first time using an app like this and Krysten guided us through it all, was so kind and caring, and even gave us her discount code. 12/10 amazing job!!!

She even left cute pictures and detailed descriptions every day so I didn’t feel anxious! Love love love Krysten and will book her again. :)”

She arrived promptly and sent detailed updates and pictures which gave me so much comfort while I was at work. I definitely will use her in the future, I highly recommend her!!”
About: I've had cats my entire life and have volunteered at an animal shelter. I've cared for four cats at once in another client's home and I've cared for three at once in my own. I've helped care for a senior pet that needed regular meds and frequent reprieves for bladder control.

About: Welcome to your furry friends pawcation retreat in Eagle, WI. Pet sitting, grooming and showing dogs is my full time passion (can't say job because I love what I do) not just extra income. I take every furry guest seriously and treat them like my own. My home is a retreat for your dog to feel comfortable, safe, relaxed all while enjoying the joys of being in a dog friendly home. I have been caring and showing dogs for over 30 years. My home has a large 6’ high fenced in area with doggie windows for potty breaks. I always go outside with them to supervise as it's just the routine that I do with my own dogs. I only cater to a few dogs at a time and that allows more attention for our furry friends. They can hang out with our resident Field Spaniel furkids, Starlet, Russell, KC and Trixie. Some dogs are quick to play and explore, while some dogs are shy and require more attention. I love all dogs and adapt my approach to your dog’s personality. If you see I am not available for certain dates, but still want service if I can rearrange I try to accommodate. In some examples of accommodation it has turned from pet sitting needs in the sitters home into me traveling to your house instead. ~~~ Check out my review stay photos to have a glimpse of the spoiling that your dog(s) will receive in my care. ~~~ In addition, I match the activities to each furry guest while they are boarding and that includes pets with special needs. Each day or overnights may include dog walks, car rides, playing fetch and simply being a house dog lounging on the couch. Additional services offered include pampering in the doggie spa or focusing on dog training sessions. Think of our home as a pet friendly home for pet sitting and dog grooming. We want all the dogs to feel as if they are home while you are away having fun. Dogs that work well in my home: I do not accept high energy dogs or dogs that are too large to handle. I prefer dogs that are calmer and dogs that can be left loose and do not mark on furniture. Please be honest when making a doggie overnight reservation. I understand dog behavior and know what works well with my own dogs. About my yard: 6’ high fenced yard with doggie windows for the dogs to see outside the yard. (Please note some of the photos seen are from an older house and not my newer resident in Eagle, Wi) Why I love dog sitting: I have been caring for dogs for over 30 years. My house and energy is very calming. My house is a retreat for dogs while the parents are away on vacations. I look forward to having your furkid(s) stay with me soon! Sincerely, Kylie I currently stay at home full time and can dedicate all my time as needed to our furry guests. They are my number one focus! Typical day can be waking up early (between 4am and 6am to let out and feed), all the fun stuff in between and bedtime is around 8pm due to my significant others schedule. 6’ high fenced yard with doggie windows for the dogs to see outside the yard. In addition, I have a safety plan in place because the dogs come first before my needs.
“We love Sandy and so do our dogs! We honestly don’t know what we would do without her. She takes such great care of our girls that they seem completely unimpressed when we come to pick them up at the end of each stay. Highly recommend!”
“This is the second time Kim has taken care of Mae. As always Mae had a great time and was very well taken care of. Kim was a big help as I had a last minute schedule change and she was able to take Mae and provide a loving home for her so she did not have to stay home alone for 16 hours. Will use Kim again for sure.”
“This was our first visit with Deanne. Doggy Daycare was a hit! Cash was happy when I picked him up. He was sound asleep on the couch within a 1/2 of getting home. I think he had a busy day with his new lil buddy!”
About: I'm an energetic person who enjoys being with dogs. I pay close attention to detail and I am always willing to engage in activities to keep your dog busy but I also know dogs need some down time as well. I stay at home full-time so I will be able to provide plenty of potty breaks and play time in the backyard. I am currently a dog daddy to a Chihuahua named Lucy. She'll be 1 years old on November 1st. She's very loving and friendly dog. I have 7 years of experience. I don't mind taking your dogs or puppies out for walks instead of just staying in the backyard. I will take good care of your beloved pets as if they were my very own.

About: Nestled on 6 acres of wooded land, my country home is the perfect place for a pup of any age to play, relax and explore while you're away! With a large fenced in yard, toys, activies, and walks, there is so much to do! Having 14 years of experience working with pets, I feel confident in providing a safe, fun, and relaxing environment for your fur family that will leave you feeling confident and comfortable with your pet's care. After starting my career as a pet groomer, I started working at a boarding facility where I fell in love with pet care! Watching dogs interact and play, running around outside and the carefree and happy faces of all the pups ignited my passion. After four years at the boarding facility, my family and I moved to Colorado for a new job opportunity, where my love of dogs drove me to work at an animal shelter. I gained much insight and knowledge from my time there, including vet care and training, but ultimately knew that wasn't where I was meant to be. After covid hit, my family moved back to Wiscosnin, and in 2022 bought our dream home! I am so excited to welcome your furbabies into my home and give them all the love and care they could possibly need while they are with me. Whether it's exploring the land, cuddling on the couch, or catching up on some grooming, I am happy to provide anything and everything I can to make your pup love staying with me as much as their own home! Important note: Summer is my busy season, so during the months of June-August I will not be requiring a meet and greet as long as your dog has been boarded before and gets along well with other dogs. If you would still like a meet and greet, I would be happy to schedule one with you, but please be patient in scheduling as it is a busy time. Thank you! Boarding is my fulltime job so I am home every day to care for the animals. Pickup and drop off hours are from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Every day is a new adventure! From walks to pool time in the yard, snuggles on the couch or bed and fun holiday activies, your pup will be on their own little vacation while you're away. Safety is always my top concern. While your dogs are with me they will never be left unsupervised; in the case of having to leave for a doctor's appointment etc. they will be crated. I have a fenced in yard with locks on it, so there is no chance of a dog slipping through or opening the gate. I am also trained on signals and body language to prevent dog fights or injuries.
“Melissa was an amazing host! She was super responsive and very attentive to my pups special needs. So grateful for sitters like Melissa who really care for your pet like their own. 10/10 would reccomendo and will book again!”
“Our Ruby spent the day with Carrie and her family recently. Ruby is 13 and not as active as she used to be, but she loves being around families and enjoys playtime with other dogs. She did very well and was well cared for. I am sure we will contact Carrie again to be Ruby’s sitter.”
“Broke has been great. My pup always loves his visit and I get plenty of photos and updates throughout the day. She’s attentive and was very flexible with me on my pickup and drop off time. I’ve been a repeat customer, and look forward to continuing to be one. Thank you, Brooke! Me and Milo appreciate you.”
“Teresa and her husband were incredibly accommodating when it came down to my last minute schedule. My dog had a blast with all of theirs, and promptly fell asleep a minute after getting into the truck to go home. I was kept up to date with pics and videos throughout her time there to let me know she was ok and having a great time. I'll absolutely be using them again to care for my dog, they were absolutely terrific.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments. I’ve fostered dogs, which gave me experience helping animals adjust to new environments, build trust, and follow routines. I’ve also cared for other people’s dogs for extended periods, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. I work from home full-time, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day—no long periods left alone. I provide a safe and attentive environment for dogs in my home. I own my home, which allows me to create a stable and comfortable space for pets. Dogs in my care are always taken out on leash for regular potty breaks and enjoyable walks. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention based on their individual needs and energy level. I also have a friendly, well-socialized dog who is used to being around other dogs thanks to our past fostering experience. Whether your dog loves relaxing indoors or staying active with walks, I do my best to match their routine so they feel happy and at home.
About: I have only had my own dogs to engage with but I love to teach them new tricks and help them learn. I am also not afraid to get to know shy pets I would be available after 4:30pm weekends but available all weekend. I work around having other jobs but am open those parts of the day I feed them, walk them, and teach them new tricks. I also love to play with my dogs to get the energy out of them
“Cassie is an amazing sitter - she is so friendly and communicative, and took in my dog Abby when I was in need of last-minute day care. She sent photos and videos throughout the day, and even helped my shy dog warm up to her sweet pup. I felt so comfortable knowing Abby was in her hands and would 1000% book with her again! She is a friendly dog lover and Abby and I both look forward to seeing her next time.”
About: What makes me different? I treat your pets like they’re my own! Whether it’s helping puppies learn the ropes, giving extra TLC to senior pets, or just making sure your furry friend gets plenty of play, love, and belly rubs. I always send updates so you’re never out of the loop. Think of me as your pet’s new best buddy! Im a college student with flexible availability. I’m always caring for my mom’s dogs when she’s out of town so the routine is already established! When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine closely, whether it’s feeding, walks, or medication. I keep their space clean, give them plenty of attention, and try to make them feel as comfortable as possible while their person is away. I always respect the home, keep things tidy, and send regular updates. If anything seems off, I let the owner know right away.
About: My previous experience with dogs gives me the ability to provide personalized and attentive care, as well as reliability and trustworthiness. I understand the effort it take to really connect with a dog, and I promise to do that with every dog I interact with. I work fully remote with a very laid back schedule. I am able to give your pet direct attention throughout the day with lots of play time. This also allows me to let them out frequently and go on walks. I currently do not have any other pets living in my apartment, and the place is theirs to roam. I do not have a fenced in yard so if playtime was outdoors I would keep them on a leash.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—over 33 years of experience as a dedicated pet parent to dogs, cats, and even crabs and lizards. My deep love for animals led me to work as a veterinary assistant, where I gained hands-on experience with everything from basic care to administering medication and recognizing signs of illness. Whether your pet needs a playful walk, quiet companionship, or a little extra TLC, I bring patience, compassion, and confidence to every visit. I truly treat every animal like family. I work full-time but have a very pet-friendly schedule! I work remotely from home on Thursdays and Fridays, so I’m fully available and present from Thursday through Sunday with no interruptions—your pet will have plenty of attention and company during those days. From Monday to Wednesday, I work a regular 8–5 schedule outside the home, but I always come home mid-day for a full hour-long lunch break to let pets out, go for a walk, or give them some love and attention. I make sure their needs are met and they’re never left alone for too long. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. In my home, we have a cozy and pet-friendly environment with a small fenced-in yard perfect for safe outdoor play. I share my home with two friendly dogs, a sweet cat, an animal-loving teenager, and my equally pet-obsessed boyfriend—so your furry friend will never be short on attention or companionship.

I’m also happy to take dogs on a walk and my wife is a super dog walker. We have two dogs-a Pomeranian who is all love and a lab who’s an old girl but who is the best dog you’ll ever meet. I understand dogs. How they communicate, how they operate. I know how to get them to develop good habits.
About: Hi! I have taken care of cats, dogs, chickens & lizards. I feed them, enjoy walking them & spending time with all of them. Thanks. I currently work full time and this is something I do part time, on the side. My full time job is flexible but I would need notice to adjust my work schedule.I can’t promise I can do this all the time… I like to do a meet n greet first so I can meet the family, let the pets sniff me & have some interaction. I follow the regular routine when I am in the clients home. If they are crated, I crate them. If they need to be let out in the middle of night & that is what the owner does, I let pet out…I make sure they are well taken care of. I treat them as they are my own.
About: I volunteer at a dog shelter that deals with all ages and comfortably around new people. This allows me to pick up on dogs needs and adjust accordingly. I am currently working full time 4 days a week. This allows me a more flexible schedule to help take care of dogs through the week and weekends.

I have experienced teaching dogs to walk on a leash with and without a harness.

My mother is a veterinarian and has her own business as a veterinary behaviorist, so I have a lot of knowledge in animal care and behavior. Since I recently got a job, I am no longer available during the week, but I am still able to do drop-in visits and walks on Saturdays! (No later than 3pm) For drop-ins, I always make sure to take ample time to play with the animal and spend as much time with them as possible. Being the daughter of a veterinarian/veterinary behaviorist, I know all about body language and how to tell if your dog is scared or uncomfortable and how to handle it, as well as how to safely handle a situation where I am approached by an unfriendly dog while walking another dog.
About: I have had and cared for dogs my entire life. I often dog-sit for friends and family, and I have had 6 foster dogs in the past! I’m familiar with taking care of old dogs and those that need medications as well. I recently finished graduate school and am applying for full-time positions. That being said, I am home a majority of the time to give your dog plenty of attention! I have one small, friendly dog that would keep your pup company! I allow my dog on furniture and do not crate her, so I am willing to care for your dog in the way you prefer (crate, free roam, etc.)

“Rachel was wonderful with my two dogs. They felt right at home with her family. She's great with dogs and is very aware of tfeir behaviors. She proactively met with us prior to the stay to see how my dogs would interact with some of the other dogs she watches. Everything worked out great. I would highly recommend Rachel.”

“Kylie took care of our Penny (dachshund) for a long stay while we were on vacation. After meeting her, we felt very comfortable leaving her for such an extended period of time. We felt confident that she would be well cared for and she was! Kylie was flexible and caring during her stay and took great care of Penny, even when her new food gave her tummy trouble...we so appreciated it! We would not hesitate to book again with Kylie in the future!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of our family. Last year, we said goodbye to our English Bulldog after 12 wonderful years, and while my family is not quite ready for another forever pup yet, I am excited to open our home and hearts to other dogs in the meantime. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have lots of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, and I'll treat your dog like part of the family. Whether your pup loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just relaxing company, I'm happy to provide a loving and comfortable environment. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide flexible scheduling, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of companionship and supervision while in my care. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits with a schedule that can accommodate most pet needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in the country on a full acre with a large fenced-in backyard, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run, explore, and play. Our home provides a calm, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed while away from their families. Because I work from home full-time, pets receive lots of supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. I’ll always treat your dog like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved during their stay.
“Christina was great with communication as and took very good care of my dog. Super generous with photos and dog came back home happy. Thank you Christina .. sorry for the delayed review. 😊”
“I am very comfortable having Kim & her family take care of my dog. Lucy isn't away from us very often and is nervous. I think Kim knows dogs and has the patience to work with her.”
“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.”
“I’ve never had to trust a stranger with my dogs before so I was hesitant at first, but Hannah was so good with them it felt like they were staying with a family member! very communicative, attentive and trustworthy. Highly recommend!”
“Shyla is the best! So attentive and knowledgeable about cats. She kept us informed about any behavior she felt might be out of the ordinary, and sent photos and videos periodically so that we could see how he was doing. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about Calvin- We knew he was in good hands!”
“Alyssa was fantastic! This was only our second time leaving our puppy and the first time boarding him, he's got a lot of energy and still very much a puppy so we wanted to make sure we found the right fit for him. Alyssa sent us many pictures and updates and made Gilbert feel right at home, he absolutely loved her dogs too. If we need a sitter in the future we will absolutely be checking Alyssa's availability first. ❤️”
