“WOW! Emily and Paul were absolutely exceptional! They met Charlie’s needs and even went above. Charlie was so happy when we picked him up compared to another dogsitter where he was traumatized when we picked him up. We were well informed throughout the three day stay and had great photos of him.”
“Karen and Chris were great with our cat! He can be a bit annoying looking for attention but they were patient and he was spoiled and well cared for. Looking forward to booking with them again.”
“Robin is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! She cared for our Golden Retriever, Winston, for four days and kept me updated with plenty of photos, videos, and thoughtful messages throughout his stay. Winston is only a year old and still has plenty of puppy energy, so I especially appreciated all the walks, playtime, and engagement she provided. She was patient when he got a little testy and took her time introducing him to the other pups in her home so he could settle in comfortably. I also loved seeing her reinforce training in the videos she sent. It was clear she was putting real time and care into him, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her hands. We will absolutely book with Robin again, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“This was a perfect location in the country near our family reunion. Kennel was clean, Erika was very welcoming, followed all of our wishes, stayed in touch regularly, sent video, and Sheppy acted calm and seemed to have enjoyed his stay with other dogs. He is an escape artist so Erika made sure there was an extra lock on the door so he could not let himself out. We recommend Erika's services to anyone who is in her area, and will return if we are ever in her area again. Thank you!”
About: I have worked with numerous animals since I was 5 years old. I have owned chickens, rabbits, horses, dogs, and cats my entire life. I am a 4-H leader where I teach children how to train dogs and I help them show and prepare their animals at fair. I also show my own animals at the fair. Additionally, I have pet sat for numerous family members over the years as well as friends. I will always be there for your pet and I will make sure they are well taken care of and loved just like they are my own. I am a teacher who is currently on summer break. So my schedule is pretty open during the summer and I have a lot of availability. During the school year, most of my weekends are free as well as when we have breaks. I am flexible and willing to make things work for you! I live on a little hobby farm with my husband. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats who are very friendly. I have everything needed in my home to take care of a dog including a kennel if needed as well as tie outs. We have a lake that is 5 minutes from our house and if your dog loves to swim, I would be happy to take them. I take my dogs all over in the summer and I would make sure your pet gets a lot of attention and exercise as well. Additionally, we have a huge barn and fenced in pasture as well as rabbit hutches in the barn and a chicken coop! Whatever animal you have they can be comfortable at my property. Additionally, if you feel better about your animal staying at home, I am happy to accommodate to that as well.
“Rebecah and David were wonderful. They kept us updated and sent us pictures. Barry was in great hands! They gave him lots of attention, love and walks! We will definitely bring Barry back!❤️”
“Anu and her family are wonderful and took amazing care of our Daisy while we were on vacation. It is clear that they love dogs and are very knowledgeable caring for them. Discussed food, meds, routine and behaviors ahead of time. Great communication and appreciated the many photo and video updates while we were away. I would definitely book with Anu again.”
“Maria took such great care of our pup while we were away! She sent us pictures with updates, which made us feel connected! I highly recommend Maria for care, we will be booking again for future needs!”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Had consistent updates and felt very comfortable leaving Furb with Hannah & Braxton B while we were on vacation. Furb said it went super well and already misses his new friends.”
“This was the first time I left my puppy in a boarding house. Erica made sure that my family and I were calm by knowing that she was taking really good care of the puppy. She sent us pictures and updates multiple times throughout the day, so we were assured that the puppy was in good hands and was feeling calm, not missing us. She also played with her a lot and gave her a great deal of attention, so the dog never felt sad or anything. I highly recommend her for anyone who needs a boarding house for their pets!”
“Cathy was a great sitter for Bandit! She was very communicative, reasonably flexible, and captured so many cute moments of Bandit’s stay with her. I would absolutely book Cathy again.”
“Laura is the definition of a perfect rover. I left my golden retriever mix with her for 2 weeks this summer and she took such unbelievable care of our Miso. She welcomed her into her family and home. She was reliable, provided cute photos, brought her to a lake on a family trip and even dropped her off at the end. She was perfect and I can’t wait to use her again. For my first rover experience, this was a dream come true. Thank you Laura and fam!!”
About: I've taken care of animals of all different species and sizes throughout my life, I've always found a deeper connection with animals, and the more I care for them, the more I see that. For Dogs, I can get along with most, although I am admittedly spooked by bigger or more aggressive dogs (Cane Corso's for reference). And as for cat's, I'm always willing to take carr of another feline friend, my closest animal companions in life have been cats! I can respect a cats boundaries very well. Notes: For dogs with Clicker training, I do own a clicker. I cannot allow other cats in my home, as one of my cats is not friendly with others. I'm typically up very early to feed my cat and spend whatever free time I have giving him attention and love while I relax. I am currently unemployed, so I can tend to pets around the clock! My yard is not fenced, I can keep a dog close if need be. I am more than willing to take pets on walks to the park, or outdoors in general. I can adapt to most any animals schedule pretty easily. My house is pretty large, so most animals will have plenty of space to roam and get comfy, and I can make accommodations for any special pet gear needed. List of tasks or care instructions would be highly appreciated, and would help me stick to a given schedule.
“Anne did a great job watching my new puppy of 5 months. She welcomed him into her lovely home, played with him, took him on a walk and let him sleep on her bed with her. She was very caring and attentive.”
“Mary was amazing!! My dog does not normally like new people but he loved Mary and she took great care of him. I even had to book last minute because of a funeral. I was able to be fully present with my family at our time of loss because my dog was so well cared for. Thanks Mary!!”
“10/10 Highly recommend! Jamie did an amazing job with our pups. We haven't left them before for any period of time, so were a bit nervous about how they would do. Jamie was exactly the person they needed. She welcomed them into her home and made their stay absolutely perfect.”
About: I grew up with farm cats and dogs in the house, and as an adult I’ve cared for fish and a lovebird named Taylor. I currently have three rescue cats and a rescue Corgi, Maggie. My pets range from 5 to 12 years old, so I’m comfortable caring for animals at different stages of life. Maggie came to me a year and a half ago weighing 59 pounds—nearly twice her healthy weight. She’s now down to 38 pounds, and watching her become healthier, happier, and more energetic has been incredibly rewarding. All of my pets are rescues, and I understand how important patience, consistency, and individualized care are. I’m currently between full-time positions, which gives me the flexibility to provide care for cats and dogs seven days a week. I offer drop-in visits, house sitting, daily dog walks, feeding, playtime, medication routines, litter box care, and plenty of companionship. I also welcome both cats and dogs into my home for stays, where they’ll have a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and provide personalized care based on their personality and needs. In my home, I have a small unfenced yard with two tie-outs for supervised outdoor time. I also provide an indoor grass patch to help reduce accidents inside. Dogs can sleep in a large kennel if they prefer one, or they’re welcome to sleep upstairs with me. Cats have access to a separate, safe room away from my cats and dog. They can choose whether to spend time with the other cats or relax on their own in their private room. To ensure every pet receives plenty of individual attention, I only care for dogs or cats who already know each other when accepting multiple pets at the same time, and I limit stays to two guest pets. I also have treat feeders for both dogs and cats, along with homemade treats. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll follow their routine and provide personalized care based on their personality, comfort level, and needs.
“Emma & Jacob (and Cosmo!) took such great care of Lucca while I was out of town. Communication was quick, and they provided regular (and adorable) updated throughout the stay. They were so sweet with her, and obviously had a lot of experience. I can't recommend them enough, especially if you're looking for people with an adorable dog to keep your fur-baby company.”

“We greatly appreciated the time and attention Carrie took in caring for our 5 month old puppy! She stopped in twice a day and feed, walked, and played with our pup while we were away at work! Would recommend Carrie to anyone! She was punctual, professional, and did exactly what we asked her to do!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats ever since I was little. I’ve always loved cats and I have cared for many. Many people have relied on me to care for their cats while away. I have a strong love for cats even wild cats have received care from me!
“Bethany was great ant accommodating all my needs and requests. My normally shy cat made a great connection and enjoying everytime she came over. Would 100% recommend Bethany to anyone with pet sitting needs.”
“Anne was wonderful with my cat, Lia. My cat seemed to enjoy the visits and extra attention. Anne was also great with communication and sending photos of what Lia was up to. Will definitely reach out to Anne in the future when needed!”
About: I love all animals. I have taken care of my family, friends, and my own pets for years. I am a huge believer in play and fun. I assist pets with a more active lifestyle with love. I am reliable and will treat your pet as my own. I too have been on extended trips and felt the worry associated with being gone. I understand how to calm pets and make the experience positive for all involved. I am an effective communicator and will give updates for piece of mind. I have had behavioral training. I hope to be your regular and become a true friend/ helper for your pet reducing all anxiety and offering a wonderful experience for your beloved pet. Good care and vibes only.
“Trusting someone to come into your home and care for your animals is never easy… unless you get the chance to book Melissa. She sent photos and messages and went above and beyond. 10/10 totally recommend.”
About: I've been around cats since I was 10 years old and currently have 4 of my own, so I know how important consistency and gentle care are for feline companions. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, and giving cats the space and attention they individually need.
“Absolutely fabulous sitter! Genuinely loves and cares for our furbabies as if they were her own. Ours are super skittish kitties, and she was so patient with them, gently trying to coax them out. Came home and they were all so happy and healthy!”
About: I have been an emergency and critical care veterinary technician for 10 years so I’m very comfortable with senior pets or pets with medical needs. I work relief at two pet hospitals and have 3 children so no 2 days looks alike for me and that’s how I like it. I love to be outdoors and love finding new places to walk and explore with my little crew. I live in the country so my backyard includes trials, fields, and woods to play in. I also love to travel so I know how stressful it is to leave your pup with someone else so I’ll be sure to send lots of pictures and as many updates as you’d like! I work relief/per diem at multiple emergency pet hospitals and I have 3 kids so not one single day looks like the next. My schedule is set about 2 months in advance so just ask about days you need! I have a very low key beagle and 3 small children that are good with dogs. We live in the county so there is lots of room and trails to explore.
“Jenna did great and was very flexible. She even got some pets in with my rabbit who is usually wary of strangers or people in general so im very happy with the job she did!”
“Taylor was very helpful when our carbon monoxide detector went off during her pet visit. We appreciated the communication to help us resolve the unexpected event. All while she took good care of our cat!”
“Crystal was very nice at our Meet & Greet and made sure to take any important notes down. She followed all my pet care instructions perfectly & made sure my babies were taken good care of! I felt relaxed knowing that she had it all handled. I will be booking with her again in the future!”
“Sara has been a blessing for my cat and I. My cat used to be very anxious when I come home due my work hours; however, since having Sara's drop-ins she is very calm, sweet and playful when I come home-!!. Sara is very sweet and has a calm demeanor. She follows the given instructions , responds to messages on time, send you awesome pictures and videos and you can tell she tries to take care of your pet like one of her own. I would highly recommend her!!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities throughout my life, from puppy stages to senior care. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, administering medications, and giving pets the attention and patience they need to feel safe and happy. With my background as a CNA and caregiver, I naturally bring a calm, attentive, and detail-oriented approach to pet care. I understand how important it is to follow routines closely and make sure every pet is cared for as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or extra care, I’m here to provide a reliable and loving experience you can feel confident in. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available for last-minute bookings, drop-ins, and walks throughout the day. I’m currently looking to spend my time doing something meaningful while earning extra income, and caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every pet with the same level of care, attention, and love that I give my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while following any routines or instructions you provide.
“Milks took care of my two cats for a week. She sent photos and kept me current on their activities. When I came home, they were lonesome for me, but not bonkers. Which meant they had attention, were not ignored. They are accustomed to me WFH daily, so long absences do not sit well with them. Yes, they are spoiled.”

“Erica was a god-send when we couldn’t take our dog with us to an event out of town. Her profile told me she’d be great and I was so grateful she was available. It was only for 5 hours but she managed to get our sometimes finicky and whiny dog to settle and eat her food when given! I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I have experience caring for animals of all kinds, though I can currently only offer in-my-home care to dogs. I have always had family pets growing up. I got my own dog when I was in high school. I currently own 2 well-mannered dogs, a hunting labrador and a scent detection pit-mix. I have more than 2 years of professional gun dog training experience, and have trained over 50 puppies/dogs. I currently work from home, so I will be able to accommodate any schedule your pet may need. My own dogs recieve 2 feedings per day (5am and 5pm). We often take a morning walk (typically no less than 1-2 miles, less if I am walking a young puppy or senior dog with mobility issues). Also evening walks if weather is appropriate. I do not allow my dogs to do strenuous activity or rough play right after a meal. The yard is not fenced, so dogs will be on leash or long-line and fully supervised when outside the home. For off-lead outdoor fun we will take trips to the local dog park (not a very heavily trafficed dog park, usually empty). I have experience providing oral and subcutaneous medication to pets, should your pet need medication while in my care.
“We just started a recurring daycare session with Judy for our dog. So far I'm very pleased! The meet and greet was great, and Enzo has SO much fun at Auntie JuJu's house. I basically have to bribe him to come back home...where he immediately passes out from all the activity and fun he had during his day. I also love that I get a million photos and some videos while he's at daycare. Highly recommend!”
“Frankie was so nice. We met before the scheduled date. She gave a detailed and great description before the drop off time and made sure everything was fine. Riley came back happy.”

About: We recently lost our senior dog, so we have lots of doggy love available for your pet! I work from home, so your pet will get lots of attention, frequent visits to the backyard, and a walk at lunchtime. I work from home full time, so I'm here to interact with your pet and provide frequent breaks for play and potty. My boyfriend gets home from work in the late afternoon and will shower your pet with affection as well! I have a small, unfenced yard and will let your dog outside on a long lead to keep him/her safe and under my supervision. Your dog will have access to kitchen, living/dining room, bathroom, and up to 3 bedrooms. Basement will not be accessible.
About: My husband and I have been watching dogs in our home for over 10 years. Our busy lives of work and family have always held us back from owning our own dog. To satisfy our love for dogs we started watching our friends and families dogs and over the years thru word of mouth we have started getting phone calls asking if we would take on more dogs and then joined Rover. We have experience with small to large dogs, dogs with special dietary needs, dogs that need to be able to run, dogs that want to sit on your lap, to dogs that have medical needs. We believe that dogs should be treated as part of the family. We allow them to sit on furniture, sleep in bed etc.. Our jobs have afford us the ability to be able to adjust our schedules to be flexible and have the option to work from home when we have a dog staying with us. This allows us to be home with your dog to ensure they are getting plenty of play time, outside time and lots of attention. It is very rare that your dog will be home alone for a period of time. Our home is your dogs home... we give the dogs full access to the house. We are non smokers and do not have any pets of our own or small children. We walk the dogs twice a day and have an acre of land that dogs are free to roam, run and play -we like to play ball and tug a rope. We do provide a ground stake with a leash for those that like to run "free". We have ability to work from home and have very flexible schedules when needed. Which in turn allows us to very rarely leave your dog home alone We treat the dogs just as if they were our very own pet.. as part of the family. They have free range of the house .. on the furniture and beds.
About: Since I was little I have always loved animals, I feel that I have a unique connection with them. From 10 years old. In Ecuador, I was taking care of dogs. The neighbors have trusted me for the attention I gave their pets, for playing with them, etc. But since I arrived in the United States I have not been able to continue with that hobby. I took care of the dogs of the owner of the house where he lived for 6 years, giving him all the love, patience and daily attention he needed. I don't have much real experience with food, walking and bathing. I am reliable, friendly and treat everyone like a family. I am available from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday mornings until 10 a.m. and in the afternoon from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays only in the mornings until 11 p.m. My first language is Spanish but I don't speak English very well or fluently, I know basic things but I understand most of them. I give food and water on time. I walk them, play a little and keep everything clean. I tell the owner how it goes with photos.
About: I love taking care of dogs. I will walk your dog in the Spring, Summer and Fall in good weather. Your dog will have my 3 year old Maltese to play with. I’m CPR trained and if needed, with calling you first, take your dog to my home town ER hospital (hope we never need to use that). Your dog must be potty trained for outside. My grandchildren all love dogs, they visit sometimes. I have been with dogs all my life. So rest assured I’ll take care of your dog while I take care of mine and my grandchildren. I will have play time and potty breaks. Will try to teach your dog new tricks. I’ve taken training classes with Pet Smart. You won’t regret placing your pet with me.
“You have a great place for a pup to hang out! Thank you for taking care of Duke, he must have had a great time because he’s all tuckered out! We hope you’re available next time we are in the area. Take care, and thanks!”
“Shelby was wonderful and communicated with us the entire stay and kept us updated on how they were doing. We are traveling and went to a Packers game and toured Greenbay. Pistol Annie and Stetson had great care and would highly recommend Shelby to keep your fur babies.”
About: PLEASE read the Entire profile as it contains details of my daily activity while I care for your dog. I grew up with a Dalmatian dog. My dad was a firefighter, and came home with Pepper Christmas morning. My sister had a mini goldendoodle. I would stop daily after work around 3:45pm to play and take walks. I took a separation package from my employer 5/1/25 and now would like to offer walks, daycare, drop in visits and boarding . During your boarding, Larger dog's WILL be crated at night. Your dog will be crated when I play pickleball in the mornings. I do have a crate(s). Please note if sending a request there may be a delay in responding due to pickleball between 9:30 - 12:30 approximate times. I currently have two dog walking appointments from 11:30 - 2:00pm Monday-Thursday. Your pet will be crated during this time. I have the time to provide loving care, playtime and walks with your pet. I will provide pictures and updates to you. Looking forward to having your dog while you are away 🐾🦴 No fence but can play fetch in the front/backyard or take your dog to dog park if they are ok with it. Please provide details or special needs. I look forward to providing belly rubs, snuggles and loving care.
About: I love animals, and I care deeply for them. Their company never bothers or annoys me. It makes me happy to take care of them. 😊 I've been taking care of animals since I was little, and I've had a variety of them. I'll never judge an animal or get angry with one; they are pure and true. I've owned and looked after hamsters, lizards, birds, dogs, and cats of different shapes, sizes, and ages throughout my whole life, providing the necessities they need. I'm currently free all the time, so I can always be there. I can be ready anytime during the day and for a decent amount of hours. As a pet sitter, I prioritize providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for furry friends like yours, either in my home or outside and/or your home.
“My Jojo loved her stay with Maria today! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. I appreciated all the timely communication- even before we arrived. Amazing service. Thank you so much!”
About: I've had dogs for 40 years of my life and they have been family just as much as any human family member. We have a loving, caring family with one dog. We have a large fenced in yard and walks often. Our home backs to a park. I work from home and have for the last 12 years. We walk four to six times per day with our puppy and enjoy spending time in the yard with him throughout the day. Our yard is fenced . We have a large family with many children that are also pet lovers. Our yard backs to a city park for your pets walking pleasure.
About: I’ve had my own pets since I was little. I’ve had hamsters, goldfish, frogs, bunnies, hamsters and a dog. I also have a few years experience with taking care of my grandmas cats.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about our dog walker! She took such loving care of my two dogs, Roley and Maddie, and treated them as if they were her own. Roley is an older pug and Maddie is a big Anatolian Shepherd, and she was amazing with both of their very different needs and personalities. I truly appreciated her reliability, kindness, and the updates she shared with me, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was obvious that Roley and Maddie were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Finding someone I can trust with my dogs means so much to me, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and compassionate pet sitter or dog walker.”
About: I've spent my entire life around animals of all kinds. From teacup poodle to full grown Bernese mountain dog, kitten to Maine Coon, shy or social butterfly, I have seen and loved them all. I have experience with all sorts of medical needs as well. I grew up with 1 tripod, 1 blind, and 1 asthmatic cat, so I'm no stranger to giving medicine. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies and give them everything they need. I am usually unavailable on weekends, but I'm always available for midday check ins or walks while parents are working. I have a rather small yard, so my dog Mimosa gets walked around the block everyday. My cats have their own spaces where Mimosa can't get to them if they need alone time and easy access to litter boxes, food, and water. I provide the best environment I can for my girls and hope to do the same for your fur babies.
“Amy was very prompt and understanding when arrangements to get her into the house didn't work. I felt so much better knowing she was taking my fur baby on a walk daily. Loved the pictures and his very contented face. Would absolutely hire her again.”

I always care for my clients pets as my own! My job is very flexible and not long hours so I am home everyday almost all day and have a lot of free time to care for pets needing a sitter. I always care for my clients pets needs and pay close attention. I make sure the pets receive all the care and love they need while their owner is away! I can crate the animals if needed as well as any other needs they need help with.
“We are fortunate to have Annie on an on-going basis to visit our dog Molly for potty breaks and walks while we are at work. Annie always responds promptly to any communication, questions or booking inquiries. When she visits Molly she leaves a detailed log about the visit. It's obvious that Annie loves pets and she goes above and beyond to give Molly love, affection, attention, exercise and an outdoor break each visit. When Annie is scheduled to visit, we know Molly will receive great care and a needed break and that gives us tremendous peace of mind. We love Annie!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with unique needs, including reactivity and behavioral challenges. I rescued my Australian Cattle Dog when she was three years old and have spent years training her and learning how to safely and compassionately manage reactivity around other animals and, at times, children. Through this experience, I’ve developed strong skills in reading animal body language, using positive reinforcement, and creating calm, structured environments. I truly love all animals and understand that every pet is different. I've taken care of friends and families pets in the past and I always have the absolute best time! I’m patient, attentive, and committed to providing the best possible care while you’re away, making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I’m currently in my last semester college, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility in my schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my days, and I can give animals the attention they deserve. Spending time with furry friends is honestly the best way to spend time between and after class! I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and respect the rules and preferences set by their owner. I take the time to understand feeding schedules, play habits, and any specific instructions so that everyone feels comfortable and at ease. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for pets.
“Melissa does so well with sunny. She comes in on time, and made it so much easier for us as my wife had surgery and I was working from home. Highly highly recommend. I never worry where sunny is or what hes up to and he loves seeing her.”
About: I've been watching dogs for over 10 years, caring for pets belonging to friends and family. At home, I share my life with 2 dogs and 4 cats, so I understand the different personalities, needs, and quirks that come with each animal. Whether it's playtime, feeding schedules, or just extra cuddles, I treat every pet I watch like my own. Pet care fits easily into my day since I have a flexible schedule. I'm available for walks, feedings, and check-ins with dogs throughout the day, and I'm also happy to handle litter box care, feeding, and quiet companionship for cats. In a client's home, I follow their existing routine as closely as possible — same food, same schedule, same favorite spots — so the pet's day feels as normal as possible while their owner is away.
About: I have been an emergency and critical care veterinary technician for 10 years so I’m very comfortable with senior pets or pets with medical needs. I work relief at two pet hospitals and have 3 children so no 2 days looks alike for me and that’s how I like it. I love to be outdoors and love finding new places to walk and explore with my little crew. I live in the country so my backyard includes trials, fields, and woods to play in. I also love to travel so I know how stressful it is to leave your pup with someone else so I’ll be sure to send lots of pictures and as many updates as you’d like! I work relief/per diem at multiple emergency pet hospitals and I have 3 kids so not one single day looks like the next. My schedule is set about 2 months in advance so just ask about days you need! I have a very low key beagle and 3 small children that are good with dogs. We live in the county so there is lots of room and trails to explore.
About: My family and I had a dog of our own for about 13 years during my childhood, allowing me to gain experience in feeding, training, and walking dogs. Now that she has sadly passed away, I would love to give other pets the same love I am no longer able to give to my own pet. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to smother your pets with my love! Late mornings and early afternoons are the times that typically work best for me, but I am flexible and willing to try anything! I will only allow pets that are fine being outside because my house does not allow pets indoors. I have a large yard surrounded by fields in a rural area where pets are free to roam in sight as long as they’re well-trained.
About: I love taking care of all different kinds of pets, I love working with pets that have unique personalities. There is still so many breeds of both dogs and cats that I would love to be able to take care of. I am currently working part-time at a pet boarding/ daycare facility and still going to school. I still seem to have time that I feel as if I am wasting and need something to fill that void. In my clients home I will try to stick to the instructions that they give me when I am caring for their pet. I will also do anything extra depending on the pet and the different needs that they may have. (Ex. If they are a senior pet or a puppy)
About: I’ve had my own pets since I was little. I’ve had hamsters, goldfish, frogs, bunnies, hamsters and a dog. I also have a few years experience with taking care of my grandmas cats. I have my own online business so I am very flexible with my schedule! & I can work around your pets schedule and needs 😊 Again I will be able to adjust my work schedule to your pets schedule. I am a very organized person so I will keep everything clean and tidy.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities throughout my life, from puppy stages to senior care. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, administering medications, and giving pets the attention and patience they need to feel safe and happy. With my background as a CNA and caregiver, I naturally bring a calm, attentive, and detail-oriented approach to pet care. I understand how important it is to follow routines closely and make sure every pet is cared for as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or extra care, I’m here to provide a reliable and loving experience you can feel confident in. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available for last-minute bookings, drop-ins, and walks throughout the day. I’m currently looking to spend my time doing something meaningful while earning extra income, and caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every pet with the same level of care, attention, and love that I give my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while following any routines or instructions you provide.
About: Let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, or behaviors that I can account for or help with. I would love to help. If you have plants that need watering, mail, or packages that need to be brought in, I can help with that too! I'm retired and love traveling around Wisconsin and the world. Slow traveling is my favorite. I can explore new neighborhoods, cities, and local attractions without being rushed. I will follow your directions for your house and loved ones. Let me know the extra duties like watering, mail, or garbage routine. The house is left cleaner than I found it.
About: Cats/Dogs welcome! 1st shitzu/poodle mix baby for 8 years, baby passed to new realms 🪽 Then, new addition to the family has been our rescue coming in & spicing life up. Going on 4 years❣️ Available on the weekDAYS & weekends. Feel free to let me know what works for you too! Communication is one of the biggest tools for our success. : ) I have a fenced back yard and plenty of water to provide! At yours, talking about the routines/schedules for the furry friend is how I roll to then provide the best possible experience in the caring.
About: I've had dogs my entire life they've always been more like siblings to me than pets. Right now I have an Australian Shepherd and a German Shepard, I love them very much but now that I've moved out of my parents house I don't see them every single day and im missing some pet love!! I am a caregiver to the elderly and disabled as well but love giving care to any and all in need!! Very easy to work with. Shoot me a text. 😉 Caregiver all around 💞 I love being of service and giving care whether it be humans or animals, I enjoy what I do. Ask me more :) I do not board animals at this time due to having my own kitten, she is being introduced to other pets but is not yet fully comfortable

“WOW! Emily and Paul were absolutely exceptional! They met Charlie’s needs and even went above. Charlie was so happy when we picked him up compared to another dogsitter where he was traumatized when we picked him up. We were well informed throughout the three day stay and had great photos of him.”
“Robin is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! She cared for our Golden Retriever, Winston, for four days and kept me updated with plenty of photos, videos, and thoughtful messages throughout his stay. Winston is only a year old and still has plenty of puppy energy, so I especially appreciated all the walks, playtime, and engagement she provided. She was patient when he got a little testy and took her time introducing him to the other pups in her home so he could settle in comfortably. I also loved seeing her reinforce training in the videos she sent. It was clear she was putting real time and care into him, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her hands. We will absolutely book with Robin again, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“This was a perfect location in the country near our family reunion. Kennel was clean, Erika was very welcoming, followed all of our wishes, stayed in touch regularly, sent video, and Sheppy acted calm and seemed to have enjoyed his stay with other dogs. He is an escape artist so Erika made sure there was an extra lock on the door so he could not let himself out. We recommend Erika's services to anyone who is in her area, and will return if we are ever in her area again. Thank you!”
About: I have worked with numerous animals since I was 5 years old. I have owned chickens, rabbits, horses, dogs, and cats my entire life. I am a 4-H leader where I teach children how to train dogs and I help them show and prepare their animals at fair. I also show my own animals at the fair. Additionally, I have pet sat for numerous family members over the years as well as friends. I will always be there for your pet and I will make sure they are well taken care of and loved just like they are my own. I am a teacher who is currently on summer break. So my schedule is pretty open during the summer and I have a lot of availability. During the school year, most of my weekends are free as well as when we have breaks. I am flexible and willing to make things work for you! I live on a little hobby farm with my husband. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats who are very friendly. I have everything needed in my home to take care of a dog including a kennel if needed as well as tie outs. We have a lake that is 5 minutes from our house and if your dog loves to swim, I would be happy to take them. I take my dogs all over in the summer and I would make sure your pet gets a lot of attention and exercise as well. Additionally, we have a huge barn and fenced in pasture as well as rabbit hutches in the barn and a chicken coop! Whatever animal you have they can be comfortable at my property. Additionally, if you feel better about your animal staying at home, I am happy to accommodate to that as well.
“Rebecah and David were wonderful. They kept us updated and sent us pictures. Barry was in great hands! They gave him lots of attention, love and walks! We will definitely bring Barry back!❤️”
“Anu and her family are wonderful and took amazing care of our Daisy while we were on vacation. It is clear that they love dogs and are very knowledgeable caring for them. Discussed food, meds, routine and behaviors ahead of time. Great communication and appreciated the many photo and video updates while we were away. I would definitely book with Anu again.”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Had consistent updates and felt very comfortable leaving Furb with Hannah & Braxton B while we were on vacation. Furb said it went super well and already misses his new friends.”
“This was the first time I left my puppy in a boarding house. Erica made sure that my family and I were calm by knowing that she was taking really good care of the puppy. She sent us pictures and updates multiple times throughout the day, so we were assured that the puppy was in good hands and was feeling calm, not missing us. She also played with her a lot and gave her a great deal of attention, so the dog never felt sad or anything. I highly recommend her for anyone who needs a boarding house for their pets!”
“Laura is the definition of a perfect rover. I left my golden retriever mix with her for 2 weeks this summer and she took such unbelievable care of our Miso. She welcomed her into her family and home. She was reliable, provided cute photos, brought her to a lake on a family trip and even dropped her off at the end. She was perfect and I can’t wait to use her again. For my first rover experience, this was a dream come true. Thank you Laura and fam!!”
About: I've taken care of animals of all different species and sizes throughout my life, I've always found a deeper connection with animals, and the more I care for them, the more I see that. For Dogs, I can get along with most, although I am admittedly spooked by bigger or more aggressive dogs (Cane Corso's for reference). And as for cat's, I'm always willing to take carr of another feline friend, my closest animal companions in life have been cats! I can respect a cats boundaries very well. Notes: For dogs with Clicker training, I do own a clicker. I cannot allow other cats in my home, as one of my cats is not friendly with others. I'm typically up very early to feed my cat and spend whatever free time I have giving him attention and love while I relax. I am currently unemployed, so I can tend to pets around the clock! My yard is not fenced, I can keep a dog close if need be. I am more than willing to take pets on walks to the park, or outdoors in general. I can adapt to most any animals schedule pretty easily. My house is pretty large, so most animals will have plenty of space to roam and get comfy, and I can make accommodations for any special pet gear needed. List of tasks or care instructions would be highly appreciated, and would help me stick to a given schedule.
“Anne did a great job watching my new puppy of 5 months. She welcomed him into her lovely home, played with him, took him on a walk and let him sleep on her bed with her. She was very caring and attentive.”
“10/10 Highly recommend! Jamie did an amazing job with our pups. We haven't left them before for any period of time, so were a bit nervous about how they would do. Jamie was exactly the person they needed. She welcomed them into her home and made their stay absolutely perfect.”
“Emma & Jacob (and Cosmo!) took such great care of Lucca while I was out of town. Communication was quick, and they provided regular (and adorable) updated throughout the stay. They were so sweet with her, and obviously had a lot of experience. I can't recommend them enough, especially if you're looking for people with an adorable dog to keep your fur-baby company.”
“Lisa was awesome!! It was our first time leaving Toby with someone besides family, she was absolutely wonderful to Toby and gave us updates while we were on vacation. I would highly recommend!”
“Ram and Anu were fantastic! They sent videos, photos and even brought Nikky to visit me at the hospital for a couple hours. They treated Nikky like their own... plenty of love and interaction and fun. I will definitely book them again. I recommend them to anyone who truly loves their pet. I loved the photos of their daughter reading to Nikky and played with him. Their Chocolate Lab was a great buddy for Nikky. They played very well together.”
“I would definitely recommend Todd as a sitter! He took my dog for walks and she enjoyed playing in their fenced yard. My dog had an operation recently and was still on antibiotics every 12 hours. Todd made sure she got her medicine on time and texted me after each dose to let me know she got it. He also sent pictures and kept me updated with how she was settling in. Very happy with her stay with Todd and his family.”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Frankie this weekend!! Our dog Kora had such great spirits when we picked her up, after spending the day and evening with Frankie!!! Will definitely go back to have her host for daycare for our little Kora!!”
