“Kevin did a great job with Coral. She took to him right away like she has always known him. It was obvious he interacted with her a lot, throwing a ball and petting. Will certainly use Kevin again.”
“Meeko stayed with her for over a week, and we had a wonderful experience! Since he’s still a young puppy, I was nervous about leaving him, but he was well cared for and had a great time playing in the fenced-in yard. He came home happy, and it was clear he felt comfortable there. We would definitely book with her again!”
“I highly recommend Julia. From the moment we connected, her communication was clear, prompt, and thoughtful. She sent pics and updates during the stay and treated Tuco with genuine affection-like a member of her own family. Tuco came home happy, relaxed and tired. ;) Truly a joy to work with-I'll definitely book again!”
“Brooke is so sweet and our dog Milton is so comfortable with her. It was his first time boarding with someone who isn't family and we're so glad it was with Brooke. Will definitely book again.”
“Highly recommend Kristin handled my large-breed dogs with so much patience and confidence. It’s clear she have a genuine love for animals and understand how to manage different personalities and energy levels. The communication was excellent”
“She is absolutely amazing! as soon as we got there she was extremely welcoming and took my pet around the house immediately to bring comfort to her she does amazing with updates. Definitely book with her 100% recommended I would go back to her (:”
“We loved Cassandra! She kept us well informed of Ginger's stay while we were away. She told us each time Ginger was administered her seizure medication which was so helpful in making me at ease. She took her for playtime and we could tell she treated her like she was her own! Our plans changed a bit and Cassandra was bery accommodating! Highly recommend!”
“Raina watched my Snickers for two days and took excellent care of her. Snickers is old and she accommodated for her 13 year old body taking her out frequently and helping her up onto furniture. The home was clean and safe for my baby girl. I would definitely recommend Raina!”
About: I am a stay at home mom to my two (respectful) children. This means that your furbaby will never be alone and will receive my 24/7 love and attention! I have two sweet pups of my own (one of which is a senior) and two loving cats. I adore animals and am comfortable giving medications, accommodating special requests, and doing anything else to make your pet feel comfortable and at home! We are a homeschooling family with one stay at home parent and one work from home parent. Your pet quite literally will never be alone and will receive constant love, play, exercise, and supervision! I have a fenced in backyard attached to my house where your furbaby can play freely. I have two dogs and two cats that are very socialized and comfortable around other animals. Your pet truly will be treated as another family member during their stay with us.
About: I have had pets all my life and always loved them, usually more than most people. My pets' needs come before mine and always will. Right now my availability is almost wide open. Let's talk about what you need and see if it works! Walking, feeding, potty breaks, potential boarding. I have a fenced in yard , almost half an acre. I have three dogs and one cat. They rule the house, and my schedule revolves around their schedule.
About: Hello! Recently back on Rover after years of privately established clients have since passed on and/or I myself have moved away. I have been in the pet care industry for 10 years and had dogs my whole life. They are my passion! I’ve watched dozens of fur babies over the years and would love to begin again for new clients! I’ve worked at boarding facilities, a dog bar, a training facility and now I am a veterinary technician! I have had and cared for many dogs through the years, but my own two are what I’d call a bit “special” one has a genetic back problem and the other has idiopathic epilepsy. So I’m very familiar with very specific care needs and that’s why I’d be happy to open my home to more special needs and senior dog care! There are some size or energy level restrictions due to my dogs back but I am open to meet and greets for all sized dogs! As you may be able to tell by my photos… I certainly do have a special love for dachshunds as well. 💙 I included some testimonials from my recent non rover clients from when I lived in Charleston SC in my photos as well! I typically work three 5 hour shifts during the week and two 10 hour shifts with very sparse weekends! Situationally I can also bring your fur baby to work with me and/or come home mid day for potty breaks on the longer days! If given enough time in advanced I can try to cater my work schedule for your pups as well! When your pet comes into our home they will be treated as if they are one of our own. I have worked in the boarding setting and have had nightmares happen with my own dogs being in the care of others so I treat each animal as if they were mine. Usually dogs coming into our home are given their own space in a spare room, with or without a kennel depending on preference with their belongings and food so they have their own space. I have been able to accommodate smaller dogs sleeping in our bedroom if that is preferred but it usually depends on the comfort of the dog. We are equipped with ramps for beds and couches and comfy dog beds everywhere. We do have mostly carpet and minimal stairs which is great for our arthritic senior dogs. When it comes to potty breaks it is full preference of the pet parent for them to be on a long line, off leash, or regular leash walk but potty times are very regular!
“Teresa and Michael were wonderful. Roman was taken care of VERY well and I know he made himself right at home with them. They kept us posted with photos and any questions they had along the way. We will certainly be contacting them again when we need a sitter.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all kinds, and there’s nothing more rewarding than helping them feel safe, loved, and at ease in their own home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, quirks, and comforts—whether that means daily walks, special meals, or simply being a calm presence. I also have experience with puppies and enjoy reinforcing basic training skills like sit, stay, and leash manners to support their growth and confidence. My goal is always to create a peaceful, familiar environment so your pets stay happy and stress-free while you’re away. I create my own work schedule, which allows me to be incredibly flexible and available for your pet’s needs. I also coach kids’ soccer, but those sessions are short and vary week to week; At most, I may be away from the house for 1–3 hours. Otherwise, I’m home and able to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand their routines, preferences, and any special needs to make sure they feel secure and at ease. In my home, pets have a clean, cozy space with plenty of love, supervision, and play. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect and maintain your pet’s familiar environment to minimize stress. I’m calm, attentive, and always tuned in to their body language ensuring they feel safe, understood, and truly cared for.
About: I have been dog sitting for over 20 years. Love dogs, and helping them have great experiences. I foster dogs, and volunteer at animal care clinics. I have two of my own pups, and a foster dog. I have schedule flexibility to provide care in your home, and there is a possibly of care in my home if all dogs get along. I have a fenced in potty area, and a huge yard.

Cat caregivers near you - Shawano
About: I grew up with cats and dogs, love animals, provide love and affectionate care for them. Currently care for 1 dog, 6 cats and 6 bunnies. I'm passionate about animal care. I have a pretty flexible schedule and am available most holidays, or weekends. Enjoy playing and exercising with pets. 🩷💚 I can give plenty of exercise and playtime. I will brush dogs and cats. Love ❤️ to cuddle and comfort them throughout my time with them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, cows etc since I was little. I worked at the Crivitz Countryside Veterinary Clinic for 5 years right out of high school. I want to help others with their pets needs just as I would want the help in return. I live in Shawano, but work in Howard/Green Bay Mon-Friday. I’m able to take care of pet needs in either location, anywhere in between, or slightly past those points! 😊❤️ On weekends I have more availability to do multiple drop in visits and more frequent dog walks. Daycare/Boarding is convenient for nonstop snuggles, chit chats, fetch, walks, treats, and a watchful eye on your fur babies. 10 acres with a pond/river wooded backyard. I have one dog who is high energy, but independent enough to do her own thing. She loves to play fetch, walk the trails in the woods, and car rides. I will always introduce my dog to yours through a baby gate, once they get smells/intro’s over with I like to have them meet outside for a potty break, this method takes the protective instincts away. Guards come down. A little trick I learned from working at the Vet Clinic that hasn’t let me down yet. I can keep them separate from one another also if you wish/request. Though my dog is a fixed/spayed female. I have a split level 4 bedroom house that allows a lot of space in the two living room areas in case your pet prefers their own space to eat/protective. I live 8 min from the Shawano dog park and less than 5 min from the dog beach.
“Christina has been blessing for me and my cats! - She is very sweet, gentle, caring and truly takes care of your cats as her own. Although I missed my babies when I went on vacation, I knew they were well taken care of and that gave me the peace of mind I needed to relax during my trip. She updates you regularly and is very good at following instructions. She even brought some toys for my kitties! Upon my return, I came back home to happy cats and a clean home! I highly recommend Christina and would hire her again!!”
About: I've taken care of cats since I was a little girl, a long time ago. We had kittens, tom cats, and even a very large cat named Casey. I loved them all. My daughter's cat sleeps with me when I am there. My son's cats will lie on my computer. My family and clients' cats love to be brushed, pet, and given treats. Litter boxes are kept clean, and water dishes are cleaned daily. I would love to come sit with your cat. Most important is that they stay in their home environment without any disruption. No cat-itude. I'm looking forward to connecting.
“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!!”
“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.”
About: I’ve always loved and lived around cats since a baby, my mother was allergic but we still had a kitty growing up as did family members and I’ve always loved to play and cuddle with them!! I now have my own brown/grey tabby kitty named Aurora 💞
About: My name is Holly, I worked as a Pet groomer for 4years. There I learned all sorts of things. From nail clippings to anal gland expressions. After my arm gave out I went to a vet clinic where I was in charge of the kennels. I have experience working with all sort of dogs at all sorts of ages with all sorts of temperaments. Some needed special attention and some where happy with just hanging out. I must say the special needs animals are my favorite. I love giving that extra care to make sure every pet I encounter feels safe and comfy. At the vet clinic I also learned various first aid techniques. I love animals more than I love people. I'm pretty flexible and don't mind bending my time slots in order to accommodate your 4legged friend.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Shawano
“Fantastic care for a difficult pup. Kevin took care of my pug puppy for a whole day. “Buddy” is only 5 months old and a real handful, but Kevin kept him happy all day. In fact Buddy seemed to be a better dog when him came home. Could be because he was exhausted from a great day. Should I need help in the future, Kevin will be my first choice!”
About: My Journey in Animal Care: Personal and Professional Insights My experience in animal care combines both personal passion and professional expertise. For more than 20 years, I've had the joy of owning pets with scales, feathers, and fur. On the professional front, I have been involved in pet grooming, boarding, and veterinary clinics. Currently, I serve as a large animal equine veterinary assistant. Living on a farm in the countryside, I don’t have any dogs or cats, which means your beloved pet will receive dedicated, personalized care. I have a very flexible open schedule to suit your needs of finding a pet boarder. I am available weekdays or weekends. We can communicate if there is any changes. Most of the pet parents I work with provide me with thorough instructions for caring for their pets. I encourage clients to arrange a meet-and-greet with me before their pet's stay to discuss all details and address any health concerns. Furthermore, I want the pets to feel completely at ease with both me and my home prior to their stay.
“Kristin was a really great! Quick to respond, great communication, and the meet and greet was very helpful. She took great care of Barley for day care and he seemed very happy when we picked him up. We would absolutely return to Kristin if we need coverage when we're in town!”

About: I am very proud to be a "fear free handler". That's a big thing for me, if an animal is uncomfortable, I am 100% uncomfortable along with them.. learning their little quirks and finding ways to do things in the best way possible for that specific animal is what I do and I absolutely love doing it. I promise your animal will be cared for deeply while in my care. My passion has always been working with animals, providing them with the care and respect they deserve and I have extensive experience in the field. I’ve worked in horse barns, animal shelters, and dog boarding facilities, and I’m skilled in administering all types of medications, including insulin. Whether it’s feral cats or reactive dogs, I have the patience and expertise to help them adjust and thrive, including building trust with new people. I understand how intimidating change can be for animals, and I’m dedicated to making those transitions as smooth as possible. I’ve dedicated countless unpaid hours to caring for animals, driven solely by my love and commitment to their well-being. When you entrust me with your pet, I promise to care for them as if they were my own, providing compassion, patience, and unwavering dedication in every situation. I am pretty open with my schedule. I will love your babies like my own. I do work mon-thurs 3-9pm and Saturday 11-4. I am a perfectionist. If you tell me you want something done in a specific way or at a certain time, please let me know!! I'd be more than happy to jump through hoops to give your baby(s) what they need when and how they need it. I will put your animal above everything else, that's what I'm paid for and that's what I love doing.
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.
