Personalized care for your dog or cat - Russell

“Beth is wonderful and very kind. I was very nervous about leaving our dog and Beth put me at ease. She sent me daily updates. Kirby got introduced to 2 canine friends which I think he missed when he got home. I would recommend Beth to care for your pet!”

Kim A.

“We were nervous to leave our Bernie girl for the first time, but Allyson was wonderful both up until our trip and during. Lots of updates and photos and excellent communication. We will definitely use her services again!”

Chalsea P.

“I’m very happy with the services provided to me and my pup! Daily updates, along with pictures and videos eased my worries about leaving my dog while I had to travel for work. I would recommend Madeleine and Anthony for their daycare, and boarding services.”

Ginger G.

“First time using this service and was very pleased. Jennifer R. was great! I have a 10 yr old rescue dog and only had her for little over 1 year so I wasn't sure how she would be with other dogs. Needed a sitter for an overnight and didn't know what I should do. I know Bagels doesn't like to be kenneled. So I found Jennifer on Rover and was the best thing I did. She made me feel better about my choice when I received a text message letting me know my dog was doing well in her care. That was nice to hear and made my day! Definitely will use Jennifer again for watching Bagels! Thank you Jennifer for taking great care of Bagels!”

Kristine S.

“Both my Dogs Neil and Sophie loved Korah. Korah comb their hair daily (including putting a top knot in Sophie hair). Her updates were the best - my dogs were snuggling up to her and playing - gave me peace of mind while on vacation. House was left neat and clean and she even left a treat and a toy for the kids with a lovely thank you card. Very nice job”

Debra T.

“Destiny was absolutely amazing with my dog. She entered pictures and ask questions when needed. My dog will be going back to her and her family any time I need a sitter!!”

Lizz B.

“The best!”

Brooke O.

“Highly recommend! Alia took my dogs last minute and she sent updates on them throughout the week and did a great job taking care of them. We will definitely be back!”

Allyson D.

“Great dawg sitter … had to find a place with a short notice and he was flexible and accessible… nice house with fenced in yard so I felt secure as my boys are little … coco and skully were very relaxed when I got them home so I knew they were comfortable in Joe’s setting … highly recommended… and Joe is a very very nice fellow …”

Gabi G.

“We couldn't be happier! The service was second to none, Thank you for such a wonderful experience and for going above and beyond with our dogs!”

Travis J.

Danielle B.

About: I love dogs and have two of my own - a little man named Sid and big golden named Ruby. Everyone in my family has a dog as well so I am very used to being around pets. I am an active person and would love to walk, run with, or care for your dog! I work 2 days a week and I am flexible on weekends, so just let me know what you're thinking! We have two kids at home, 3 and under, so must be okay with sweet kiddos. I live in home with a big fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs. I have a small dog and large dog who get along very well with other dogs. They get super playful around other dogs, so your dog would surely have a fun time and get all his/her energy out! I am working part-time and home with my babies the other days, allowing a lot of flexibility with caring for your pet. We have some occasional things planned for weekends but are otherwise pretty open! I have a fenced in, nice yard for dogs to play and run in. We live in a great walking neighborhood. We have two dogs to keep your fur baby company as well as two young children. Animals must be kid-friendly for our home!

“Sadie had so much fun! She slept the entire rest of the day when she got home because she was so tired from all the play time. She was one happy doggie!”

Sally

“Olivia was excellent. She came to meet the cats before our trip to learn the ins and outs of their care. We have two cats that take medication and she easily gave it to them.”

Elizabeth G.

“Michelle regularly does check ins and has done a couple overnights for my pup. She arrives on time, takes great care of my dog, communicates, follow instructions, and sends lots of pics. She is incredibly nice and attentive to my pup and also this nervous dog mom lol. I am very selective in who let care for my gentle giant; I trust Michelle completely and know my baby is in amazing hands. She treats my dog like one of her own, his schedule is followed, and he gets to relax at home with lots of love while I am a way. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could! We are grateful for her at our house!”

Melissa T.

About: I was a proud cat owner for almost 20 years with my own orange kitty named Tigger, and have always loved caring for all and any cats! A bond with a cat is like no other, and I would be honored to take care of yours!

“Kara was very attentive to Sprockie's need and gave him time by being gentle so he could know her on his terms. Will use Kara again.”

Ruth G.

About: As an experienced pet sitter, I am dedicated to providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. From feeding, walking, and playtime to administering medications and maintaining routines, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are receiving attentive, responsible, and personalized care in a stress-free environment I work Monday- Thursday so that allows me to have plenty of time at home with animals on the weekends to give them the time and attention they need. I have a very nice neighborhood with walking paths to make sure animals are getting the exercise and time they need to play around outside.

“Ally was very good to work with. Roscoe was happy to see her the second day. He greeted her with tail just a wagging. I would certainly use Ally again when in the area.”

Bobbie E.

“Amanda and her family were amazing! They cared for our Apollo like he was their own, and made him feel loved. She updated me throughout the day by sending me pics and how he was doing. Will definitely use her services in the future if/when needed. Highly recommend! Thanks again”

Jim G.

About: At one time, we were breeders of Champion Golden Retrievers, and have raised many a pup, from small to large breeds. From Bernese to Yorkies, we love them all! Our furbabies are a Shorkie and Shih Tzu who are well behaved and make great hosts and playmates! Large pastures and trails on which to walk, so lots of exercise. Our canine guests will receive lots of love and attention! They will be welcome in our house if well-behaved, and treated like one of the family during their stay. We have excellent references from previous guests and do our best to make sure our every guest feels right at home. We follow all care guides given by our guests owners, including giving meds and treats as owner provides us. I or my husband are home with our guest dogs during stays. Our guests get lots of attention and care. We want to care for them as they are used to being cared for at home. We walk 3-4 times a day or as often as match the home life of our guests. They are cared for in our home and integrated into being cared for as part of our family with 2 little welcoming fur babies.

“Chris did great with the dogs! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!! He played fetch with our lab until she got tired (who can play fetch FOREVER... seriously forever). He’s very considerate, informative, and a true dog lover! I can tell he does is absolute best to give the pups the excersize and love they need and deserve!”

Madison S.

“Holly seemed to have lots of fun with the other dogs/kitten. She loves to be outside so I'm so glad Maddy takes her on field trips in the country. It was her first day so it took alot to get used to things. Maddy handled well and I had no worries since Maddy checked in during the day.”

Karen D.

“Ginger & John were great to work with, they were quick to respond. Annie was happy and ready for a nap when she got home. We will be using Ginger and John in the future.”

Wendy T.

“Rebekah is great, watched our puppy for daycare. Love photos she sent through out the day. Highly recommend her and we will be back with Kodiak. Thank you!”

Becky B.

About: I’ve taken care of a couple of different types of dogs since I was young. My family and friends trusted their dogs in my care. I’m a college student looking for side work to make some extra money. but haven’t started classes yet, so I have a very open schedule. I create a calm safe environment as well as follow pet routines closely, I handle pets gently, always respect owners boundaries, and prioritize safety in my home and clients homes.

“Jessica took excellent care for our puppy while we were away. I would definitely use her again.”

Sarah D.

“Highly recommend Mike—he was incredibly easy to work with, highly responsive, and flexible. He offered up a meet/greet in advance which was incredibly helpful. My pup Taco was comfortable with him right away—he is definitely a dog lover!”

Christine T.

About: Hey there! I am an animal lover to the core. Let me be your pet's new best friend while you are away! I recently moved back to the Midwest to be closer to family, about two years ago. I was traveling constantly for work, but am now full time work from home. When I lived in another state for work, I did pet care as a part time job with private clients weekly. I grew to absolutely love it and would love to get established back in Wisconsin. I grew up with dogs, cats, and cows my entire life - being raised on a farm. I am the type of person who can’t stop without petting a dog whenever I see one! Providing companionship to your pet is my favorite thing to do. We can go on walks, eat food, and watch the latest Hulu show together! Your fur baby is welcome to sleep with me, on the floor, or in any bed or crate you bring. My two rescue cats absolutely LOVE other animals, so there is no worry there. They are so curious and eventually become besties! Since I am work from home full time now, so I am extremely flexible and they will have constant attention. I do live in an apartment, BUT, I am right next to the walking trail in River Prairie (the loop). I would be more than happy to go on as many walks as needed, and enjoy some sunshine with your fur baby! So do not worry, they can be outside as much or little as you’d like. I am open to care of all animals, all sizes, and all ages. If wanted, I visit my family farm quite often where we have extensive yard and land to run on. It is 100% an option for me to take your pet there if you want them to have some extra smells, especially if they stay long term with me. I’m extremely flexible and want you to not have to worry! While I traveled full time for work in the past, constant updates on my animals back home was crucial to me. I will provide as much or little communication you’d like. I’m here to meet you and your pet where you’d like and keep being away from them stress free. I promise they are in such caring hands! I work from home most days and go on daily walks myself! I would love to have a companion along with me to help make my place less lonely! During the weekends I can give even extra attention! I have access to the loop walk near River Prairie where i can take your pet for a potty break or for a walk! Depending how far they like to go - I can do the full three miles with them, or cut it shorter! I will be here with them to provide food, water, and care. Your pet will be my number 1 priority while I am with them!

About: I have had a dog in my home since I was born! From BoBo, to now my own puppy, Mani, I have had tons of experience with all kinds of dogs. I have taught Mani sit, shake, down, stay, and come so far! I would love to help people with the basics: walking, feeding, potty breaks, playing, and keeping an eye on them. Additionally, I understand dog behaviors and how to approach different behaviors with caution and care. I am available to help almost anytime during the week and weekends! Starting in September, Tuesdays will be off the table as I will be in school, but so far I am available almost anytime. In the clients home, please let me know how you want me to take care of your dog and how to come into your home with care and compassion!

“Diggs first sleep over and he had a blast. She was very friendly, shared plenty pics and took him with her for walks and car rides. Definitely will be using again.”

Ryan S.

About: I grew up with many family pets and helped care for them. I have worked professionally at day care and boarding/training facilities. In 2011 I acquired a Veterinary Assisting Diploma from Horizon School of Veterinary Assisting. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, most days I am available. We can talk and figure out what would work best for you and your companion animal. I will respect your animals current routine already in place and follow through with daily care needs as if you would for them in your home.

About: Hi ! As I am home for summer , I would love to be able to watch any animals , any size is okay ! I have grown up with large dogs most of my life but I am okay with any size and age. I am a college student athlete at Winona State University going into my Junior year next semester! I am also a nanny in the summers so I am very flexible when it comes to times or days ! I am also a nanny in the summer which means I have can have very flexible hours ! I am also very active, walks, runs etc. I have a fenced in yard and a pool ! But also I have a dog and my mom has a dog they are both loving and will keep your animal company!

About: Growing up with a variety of animals really gave me the compassion and love I have for animals now. Also, it gave me the skill I need to be able to take care of and provide for the different species of animals there are out there. Mostly, it was dogs and cats but I do have experience in caring for hamsters and bunnies. I love to go walking/hiking just to be outside and getting fresh air so i have no problem going on walks. I’m completely comfortable with our furry friends being on my furniture, I know not everybody is but mi casa es su casa. I am a veterinarian technician with my A.A.S. degree and I plan to open up my own business one day whether it be a dog boarding place of my own or my very own shelter/rescue. Either way, this is my 5-10 year goal and his will help me achieve that. I work full time throughout the week. My evenings are available & so are most of my weekends. This month of August will be busy for me on the weekends though. I make sure they are comfortable & I treat them as if they are my own. I make sure they are happy while their person is gone.

About: Hi Hi! I'm a former vet tech with 20 plus years of experience training and caring for pets! Day outings, overnights or drop-ins are all in my skill set! I'm an active and aware professional photographer and personal trainer and I enjoy getting dogs out on the trails, socializing, training- you name it! I mainly live in Jackson Hole, WYoming but I own my own home here in Winona. I am here some parts of the year and I would love to open up my schedule to dog care! I am very flexible during the day. I'm a photographer and most of my shoots are in the afternoons or early evening. I can do outings in the morning and afternoon to satisfy all of the physical demands of the doggos! I hit the trails almost every day so I can take them with me for a run/walk :) I also have access to 40 acres of wooded hills that I can take the pups too! The safety of your pet is #1! I am a former vet tech and have a great knowledge of dog care and health. I can administer medications- no problem! If am coming to let your pet out of your house, I can walk in the neighborhood or have a play session in the yard. If your pet is at my home, I have a big, fully fenced yard and I live right across from East Lake Winona, the dog friendly lake :) I am very aware of every situation I take your dog into and can address needs or concerns ASAP. I treat every dog I watch as one of my own :)

“Amy and Brendan were amazing! They were very flexible and able to take Ponyo on short notice, which was such a lifesaver. Communication was great throughout—they sent updates and photos so I always knew how she was doing. Ponyo got plenty of outdoor time and came home happy (and exhausted!) after all the fun she had. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”
