“Anu and her family could not have been more amazing and helpful with my Husky! We had to travel last minute and Anu and her family were there for us last minute so I didn’t have to board our dog. We are so grateful for her great communication, lovely family, abundance of updates and photos, and the unmatchable peace of mind we had while away. Thank you Anu and your amazing family!”
“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.”
“Maria was great! While on vacation we got delayed an extra night due to a tropical storm and she was quick to help and eased any worry of having a safe place for our dog. Chewy is a great pup but in need of a little extra attention and Maria easily fulfilled this as she only watched one dog at a time having Chewy return to us happy and healthy! We were also able to see updates on him through the pictures she sent and could see his personality still shining through as he was definitely comfortable in her care.”
“Bobbie is amazing. This was Sophie’s first overnight and I was so nervous. Bobbie sent pictures and kept me informed on how Sophie was doing. Because Bobbie is so good with dogs Sophie was comfortable and completely at home. I can’t say enough about how good Bobbie is. I will definitely be using Bobbie again for future trips. Thank you again for being so good with my Sophie.”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Chase and Jessi are amazing! When we drop our dog off she pulls to get into their home. We feel like she is going on vacation because she is so spoiled while she is there! We can't thank them enough for the care they give our dog! They are the best!”
“Kelley was great mom dog for our Golden Retriever Riley. She sent updates & photos during his stay & helped us out by keeping him an extra day when our flight was canceled. I would recommend her & would use her again.”
“Cristy took excellent care of our goldendoodle, Luna. Luna loved playing with her dog Duke! They had great time running out the backyard and hanging out on couch. We really appreciated the pictures and updates.”
“As always, my dog had a great time on his “vacation “ staying with Gina. She takes such good care of him I never have to worry while I’m enjoying my own vacation 😃. Love the photos and videos she sends. Definitely my go-to dog sitter!!!”
“Kristina is so great with our puppy, Olive! We were nervous about leaving Olive with someone new since she’s still pretty young, but right away we felt at ease with Kristina and it was evident that Olive absolutely adored her! We’ve now booked Kristina twice and will continue to do so - our pup loves playing at Kristina’s and comes home tired and happy!”
“We have never boarded our cat before but needed to in order to allow for open house to be held at our home. Korri was communicative, kind, and fair in her pricing. She had an extra room available for our cat who doesn’t always get along with other cats which provided peace of mind leaving our 10yo cat. We received multiple updates and photos every day which further eased our minds. Would definitely book with Korri again!”
“We have used Chelsea many times and we really like her she is so good with Dexter he needs medication and she is very good with that as well. When we leave Dexter will her we have no worries.”
“Frank & Julie are Phenomenal! I was quite nervous about trying again to find temporary care for my dog after a poor experience on another pet sitting app. I read all the other positive reviews for this couple and anxiously decided to move forward with booking. I am so pleased with the care they provided! I feel they went above and beyond for my dog. I'm so grateful I found them instead of boarding, where he'd have had very little attention and interaction. Instead he got the love and attention he could want and all the comforts of home. I will happily continue to use their service.”
“Kathy did a great job. She came through for me at a moments notice when my boarder had a cancellation. Her dogs did well with my boy. He came home happy and tired which is a good thing.”
“It was our first time using Rovers and leaving our dog, PJ, with someone who was not family. Mark and Susan were great with her and provided us updates over the weekend while away. Appreciated them having a meet & greet prior to us leaving her for the weekend. PJ got lots of walks and attention and was very content under their care. Overall, a great first experience. We will definitely reach out to them in the future when are in need of care for PJ.”
“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!!”
“Caitlin & Samuel were amazing with our dog! They provided pictures every day and were very flexible when we had to adjust our drop off time. We will definitely be booking with them again.”

About: I grew up with 2 cats in my home as a kid until I moved out for college. The only thing keeping me from being a cat lady are my child's allergies. I also help out family and close friends when they are out of town. I'm not afraid of a litter box or a little throw up/hair ball. I understand I'm earning their respect as well :) I would love to be the person to check in on your loved one while you are out of town or working long days and provide a social visit, top up snacks and water, and clean up if needed. I am an RN and have experience with medication administration with dogs.
“Travis was fantastic with our kitties! We hired him to stay with them and we couldn’t be happier with his services. We got multiple updates with pictures, and came home to a well kept home. Very reliable, great communication, and overall just a very nice person whose love for animals is obvious when you meet him. We’ll hire him again. 10 / 10 would recommend Travis.”
“Great experience! Sara took wonderful care of my pet, always arrived within the timeframe, spent the entire allotted time giving love and affection, sent pics, asked great questions. Will definitely use Sara again!”
“Kari did a wonderful job with my pups! She was extremely responsive and helpful, even when my weekend plans went awry and we came home early. I will definitely be reaching out again if I need someone to stop in to care for my dogs.”
“Michelle was fantastic! She kept me posted with pictures at the visit times. She also talked me through what to expect while using Rover since it was my first time using the service. Thank you so much Michelle!”
“Sara was an excellent sitter! They provided excellent care for my cat and sent detailed notes about each visit. I would absolutely have Sara watch my cat again for my next trip!”
About: If your smaller non-shedding dog (up to 40 lbs) does not care for other pets, I'm your sitter! There are no other pets in my house, and I specialize in dogs who do not like other animals. I have owned and loved dogs my entire adult life. In retirement I've chosen not to own one, but I miss those little guys so much and would love to love on your precious pet. I am retired and can fully care for your smaller (up to 40#), potty-trained, non-shedding dog. On weekends in the summer I may talk to you about your friend joining me at my camper. I will provide care for your smaller non-shedding dog without other animals in my home. Perfect for those cuddlers who would rather not have competition for my attention!
“My regular pet sitter was unavailable so I am a first time Rover user. Briana took the time necessary to understand Chewy’s personality and needs. Chewy is a very shy cat but came out for pets during Briana’s visits. I will definitely book Briana again if my pet sitter is busy.”
About: I started being around cats about five years ago and have really grown to enjoy taking care of them. During that time, I helped care for a senior cat who needed regular medications, which taught me a lot about being patient and attentive with older pets. I also currently have my own cat, so I’m used to the daily care that comes with feeding, playtime, and making sure they’re comfortable and happy.
“Olivia was available last minute to watch after our shy kitty Bubba, and she took fantastic care of him. Although he was hiding when she stopped by, she managed to snap a few photos to let us know he was ok, and she even watered our plants while we were away. She's friendly, responsive and caring...everything you need in a pet-sitter! We'll definitely bring her back to care for Bubba when we go out of town in the future :)”
“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!”
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and understand that every cat has their own unique personality and comfort level. I currently have a cat of my own and also care for kitty clients through my pet care business. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, medication if needed, and giving cats the patience and gentle attention they deserve.
About: Available for doggy day care as well as overnight and long term boarding in our home. Experienced in taking care of cats, dogs, and small animals of all ages and needs. My partner and I have owned and sat several dogs and cats for the past 20 years. I will take care of your pets like they are my own, and will thoroughly follow any instructions provided for their care. I am able to take dogs on walks as much as needed and am close to both the Appleton and Kaukauna dog parks. I currently own 3 small dogs and 2 cats, 4 of which are rescues. I live in a quiet area of Kaukauna and am available most nights and weekends. Hope to hear from you! I work from home at least 2 days per week and my fiancée works from home full time. We do not work weekends. It’s common for us to have visiting dogs hanging in our home offices with us during their stay meaning your dog will get lots of attention from us! We make sure to monitor any visiting dogs multiple times per day, provide separation with multiple gates in our home when needed, always watch during feeding times, and provide regular updates on how your dog is doing with photos.
“I have been incredibly grateful for Brittany! I have had some last minute needs for drop ins and she is always quick to respond and available. It makes it much easier for those unexpected moments for my pup to get the love and care she needs. Brittany always sends some great pics and notes on how things went which is so appreciated.”

“Emily took such good care of our Obi! Emily and her family took him in like their own! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was very attentive to all our puppy’s needs 😊 🩷 Would highly recommend Emily for all your pets needs!”
“We had a last-minute Rover request, and Bobbi responded quickly and made booking easy. Even though it was a short stay, we could tell our dog had a great time especially with Mercy, their adorable pug! Bobbi shared updates and photos, and Nova seemed to really enjoy their spacious backyard. Bobbi was so kind and welcoming. We’d absolutely recommend her to others!”
“Quite gracious and friendly. Bobbie and Clark were most accommodating on short notice. They were great with our dog who clearly had a terrific time in Bobbie and Clark’s wonderful care.”
“Cristy was amazing! Her home was so cute and tidy. She has a sweet little dog that played so well with my dog whom normally doesn’t care much for others. Cristy was kind, communicative, and flexible.”

“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!”
“This was a last minute need so it was great he could watch Cody with very short notice. Cody is an older dog and does not take change well, so it was fantastic he was excited to return the next day which means Cody really enjoyed his stay. Great care and communication! Cody was all smiles!”
About: Since childhood, I have been responsible for the care of various animals, including dogs, cats, and small animals of diverse species. Among these, dogs hold a special place in my heart as my favorite animal. As a full-time stay-at-home mother, I am constantly at home with my children and dogs. During the summer months, we thoroughly enjoy spending time outdoors. I have a spacious backyard that is not fenced in, but I have a long tie-out if needed for your furry friends. Your pets will be well cared for.
About: I have part-time pup named Teddie, who you can see in my photos. I cared for my parents' elderly dog for two months, and I occasional provide daily care for another friend's dog. I'm looking forward to making more pet connections, and I hope to meet your animal companions very soon! I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have significant flexibility in my schedule. I will work with you to make sure all your pet's needs are met! I am happy to care for your pets at your home, or mine. We are best set up to care for dogs at our home, with easy access to our backyard and a longer, outdoor leash (no fence). My eleven-year-old enjoys animals as well, and he often scooters with me during doggie walks. I have experience with elderly dogs and anxious dogs.
About: I have had pets all my life! Including dogs, cats, geckos, and fish. I am super passionate about dogs especially, as is my husband. I have dog sat for numerous families in the past, and would love to put my skills to use by hosting pets, and dog walking! We are an incredibly dog friendly house, where dogs are treated as humans. We have a sweet two year old hound mix named Charlie. He LOVES all people and dogs, and would also love some friends to play with! We have done training classes with him, and are very knowledgeable about dogs. We would love to share our passion with you, and your furry friends! I am also a moderator for an online group as well!
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, horses, ducks, and rabbits. I also had a great deal of time with other animals such as cows, and chickens at my Grandpa's dairy farm. One of my past jobs was being a dog sitter, to care for them, and do some training as well. I loved it! 🙂😁 I now have a German Shepard and Husky mix named Apollo, and I love teaching him new things, spending time with him, and of course taking care of him. 🥰❤️ I'm currently working as a house cleaner, and although I love the job, I would like to work some more hours. Sometimes clients cancel or reschedule cleanings resulting in less hours. I'm looking to do this hopefully full time, as I miss working with dogs. 🙂😁 I currently have a huge yard, but I can also give walks if suggested. I'm welcoming any animals except cats due to my boyfriend being allergic. I will do my very best to help any of your fur babies feel at home. 💌😁
“Highly recommend Chelsea! She was very easy to communicate with and was able to take Voss on short notice when we had to be in town unexpectedly. My dog had a fun day playing with her dogs in the fenced back yard and house. She even trimmed his nails for us which was really great. We’ll be back if we need care in Oshkosh again!”
“Kimberly and her sweet son were so kind and welcoming. She was very conscientious of my dog's needs and sent many photos/updates throughout the day. Playtime and trails walks wore her out! She slept the whole way home. Thank you for taking such good care of our Emma!”
About: I have trained puppies, and dealt with animals who needed medicine or injections daily and blind dogs! I’ve also worked with different breeds because i volunteered at a shelter for awhile! I currently only work part time, so I do have lots of time to be taking great care and spending time with your pet! monday-sunday i’m available, after 2pm works best for me! I have a big fenced in yard, and two other dogs as well to keep your pet company, I also own a crate for big and small dogs if needed, I have many treats and lots of toys as well!
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.

About: I’ve spent several years providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection to keep pets happy and relaxed while their families are away. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment so every pet feels comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly rhythm, especially since I work from home three days a week. On those WFH days, I’m able to offer flexible, consistent attention—perfect for pets who enjoy companionship, regular check‑ins, or a steady routine. I build feeding times, walks or play sessions, potty breaks, and general wellness checks around my work blocks, making sure pets get the care and interaction they need throughout the day. On the days I’m in the office, I plan visits intentionally to keep each pet’s routine stable. Whether it’s morning care, midday enrichment, or evening check‑ins, I make sure every pet gets predictable, comforting attention. Because I’m used to balancing a hybrid schedule with pet responsibilities, I’m very organized and reliable about maintaining consistent care all week long. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine, environment, and comfort exactly the way they’re used to. I follow the owner’s instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, medication needs, and any household rules—so pets feel secure and stress‑free. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, whether they need extra play, quiet companionship, or a slow, gentle approach. I keep the home tidy and respectful, making sure food and water areas stay clean, litter boxes or potty routines are maintained, and any messes are handled right away. I also pay attention to small details like closing gates, locking doors, turning lights on or off as requested, and keeping the home feeling lived‑in and safe. Throughout the stay, I send updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing.
“Briana came out and walked my dog for me for a week while I had longer working hours. Duke loved her, she was prompt and had great communication! I so appreciated her coming out of her way to get him out and will absolutely be booking again!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up helping care for our family labs, and now I have a sweet red lab of my own named Ravioli. We spend a lot of time going on walks, playing at the park, and just enjoying being outside together—so I know how important it is for dogs to get both exercise and attention. I’m also a teacher, which means I have a very flexible schedule—especially during the summer—so I’m able to offer consistent care, walks, and drop-ins when many others aren’t available. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve helped look after my neighbors’ dogs, making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re my own, paying attention to their unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just some company, I’d love to help. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! Availability During the school year, I work weekdays but still have some limited availability for walks or drop-ins depending on timing. I’m most consistently available on weekends. In the summer, my schedule opens up significantly as a teacher, which allows me to be available most days for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your dog gets the care and attention they need! Safety, Trust & Environment Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure dogs are securely leashed on walks, closely supervised, and cared for in a safe, calm environment. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, energy level, and any specific instructions you provide to ensure they feel comfortable and happy. I’m reliable, communicative, and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your dog is doing. Having a dog of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. Whether I’m caring for your dog in your home or taking them out for a walk, I strive to create a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pup.
About: I've spent my entire life having animals and loved them for my entire life. I've had cats my entire life, and often this is not lent itself well to me also owning a dog. We currently own three cats one 12 year old lady, and two 2 year old brothers. When I was young I would walk the neighbor's dog just so I could get some dog time in. In college and after college I had several roommates who had dogs I lived with, who I would also help care for either just for fun or while they were gone. I have also taken care of friends dogs while they are out of town on vacation. I have experience with cats from 6 weeks old all the way up to end of life. I have experience in giving cats medication, special diets, special instructions and any other quirks your cat may have. I'm experienced in walking dogs, playing with dogs, feeding dogs (including special diets) and while I love larger dogs, I currently am unable to care for them due to a medical condition and it only able to care for a small dogs. I'm currently taking a break from my career and have very flexible availability, both during the week and on the weekends. I do request 24 hours notice. I will take care of your pets with the instructions you leave me with. I will rely on you as the pet parent to make all major decisions and follow your rules as best as possible. I am great with communication and will regularly communicate with you to show you how your pets are doing while you're out of town and ask any questions that arise while you're gone.
About: I have had pets my entire life. Dogs, cats, horses, pigs, cows. I have taken care of puppies through senior dogs. I am currently unable to have a pet due to others having allergies in the home and I miss having a furry friend. I would love to care for your pet. I have had dogs that do not get along with others and those that were great with any other dogs. I currently work remotely and have a very flexible schedule so I can care for your pet at any time of the day. I would be happy to let your pet out into a fenced yard or take them for a walk, whatever is preferred. I currently am unable to have pets so whether your dog is great with others or not so friendly with other pets, I can care for your pet with any instructions provided. I am experienced in letting out pets, playing with them or taking them for walks.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and started walking dogs when I was 11 years old. Over the years, I’ve had experience with dogs, cats, and many other pets of my own. I am comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, including senior pets, rescues, and shy animals who need extra patience and care. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love building trust with each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is my full-time and only job, so I’m able to offer flexible scheduling, dependable communication, and plenty of attention for your pets. I’m typically available all days of the week, including daytime hours, with occasional exceptions depending on scheduling and personal appointments. I truly love what I do and treat every pet as if they were my own. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. During drop-in visits, I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level while providing plenty of care, affection, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, meals, medications if needed, and cleanup. I understand that trust is incredibly important when someone is caring for both your pets and your home, so I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to details. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel loved and well cared for while you’re away.
“Madalyn is consistent and flexible on scheduling walks! She was so kind to my dog when she realized he was scared of a thunderstorm! She sat with him and came back later to walk him when the storm was over.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. Currently, we have two cats, which is easier with our sports schedule, but I miss having a dog to walk. So, I thought I'd see if you needed help with yours. I'm working part-time and own a business. Both provide me flexibility to be there when your dog needs me. My kids are old enough for me to be gone for short stints. Prefer walking schedules during, morning, afternoon, or late evening as those provide me the best opportunity to give your pets the attention they deserve. Experience walking dogs with leash aggression. Can typically recognize it in your dog or the dogs we are approaching. Will always keep animals leashed in public.
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was ten years old. From walking, feeding, caring for and playing with my own dogs and cats, to walking and dog sitting neighbors' and friends' pets, I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, activity levels, and sizes. Additionally, I have experience providing medication to both cats and dogs, having had pets who required medication. I'm currently a full-time college student. Outside of school I don't work, so my afternoons, evenings, and weekends are usually pretty open to stop by and let pets out, walk them, feed them, spend time with them, or whatever else you may need. When I go back home to visit, I love being able to walk my dogs, play with them, and spend time with my cat. Pet care has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I absolutely love my two dogs and cat and enjoy taking care of them. I treat all other animals as they are my own, showing them the same love, care, and respect that I show my own pets.
About: I have over 6 years of animal experience with dogs, bunnies, and cats. I am active and ready to walk your dogs and play with them! I currently have 2 job working at Target and Nakashimas. I am available after 1pm on Mondays and Saturdays. I am available all day on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday mornings and Sunday morning (6am-11-30am). I am also flexible for last minute bookings. I have 1 dog and 1 cat. I take my dog for a walk everyday and sometimes my cat in his little cat backpack. I feed them every morning 7am and night 6pm! I give them my full attention, like they are my child and have studied them to know exactly what they need. While taking care of your fur baby's I will accommodate to their needs and give my full attention to them and make sure they are happy and always safe.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages since I was in elementary school. I have had family dogs all my life and now I have 2 dogs of my own. I raised one as a puppy and then adopted his brother about 2 years later. Raising my dogs has educated me in all the needs a dog possibly needs from food/water to stimulation to exercise. I’m around many weekends so I have a lot of flexibility and open time to drop in and take care of your dog! Whether it’s taking them for longs walks or just hanging out and keeping them company. If my dogs could talk they would probably tell you they are the kings of the house. The dogs in my home are treated like humans. Nothing but the best. They are allowed on furniture, beds, toys are out all day long. Having very high energy dogs of my own, I often go on many walks and hikes all around the area.
About: I’ve had and taken care of many different breeds in my lifetime, mostly medium to smaller mixed breeds and I’ve also taken care of doodles I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats that I spend my days with. Always start with a morning walk down our local hiking trail We have gates to keep them in safe spaces including keeping our daughter away from them if necessary but she’s also very gentle with them
About: I have had a love for dogs my entire life! I was blessed to grow up with the sweetest Black Lab and my family welcomed a toy poodle to our family when I was 12. In the last couple of years, the family dogs have gone from 2 to 6 with the addition of my in-laws. I am at my happiest when we are all in the same house, each of us with a dog on our lap or at our feet. I don't know what life is like without a dog in it! I lost my 4 year old mini dachshund unexpectedly in 2020. Since then my love for dogs has only grown. I would love to hangout with your furbaby! I currently work a hybrid schedule, working from home most days. My role allows me flexibility throughout the day. I would love to fit in a couple of dog walks and cuddles into my schedule. All dogs are part of the family in my home. I will never treat them differently. I grew up with runners, so have no fear that keeping your dogs safe and home is my number one priority.
About: Growing up I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember. I have 5 dogs, a cat, bunny, & a few reptiles. I’m a stay at home mom and have vet tech experience. If you need extra care I am more then happy to do what I can to assist your pets needs and have a flexible schedule. If I am caring for them in my home, I have a fenced in back yard for your pup to roam around and get their zoomies out 🐾💜
About: I've cared for my black lab for 15 years. I grew up with a golden retriever. I have dog sat for neighbors and family members. Generally love animals. I am a teacher looking for summer work. I am available during the week and most weekends. I look forward to helping you while keeping your pets safe. Just like teaching, I am prepared to keep your dog engaged. Whether it is with walking, playing fetch, or swimming in the lake, your pet will love the attention.

“Anu and her family could not have been more amazing and helpful with my Husky! We had to travel last minute and Anu and her family were there for us last minute so I didn’t have to board our dog. We are so grateful for her great communication, lovely family, abundance of updates and photos, and the unmatchable peace of mind we had while away. Thank you Anu and your amazing family!”
“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.”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Kelley was great mom dog for our Golden Retriever Riley. She sent updates & photos during his stay & helped us out by keeping him an extra day when our flight was canceled. I would recommend her & would use her again.”
“As always, my dog had a great time on his “vacation “ staying with Gina. She takes such good care of him I never have to worry while I’m enjoying my own vacation 😃. Love the photos and videos she sends. Definitely my go-to dog sitter!!!”
“We have never boarded our cat before but needed to in order to allow for open house to be held at our home. Korri was communicative, kind, and fair in her pricing. She had an extra room available for our cat who doesn’t always get along with other cats which provided peace of mind leaving our 10yo cat. We received multiple updates and photos every day which further eased our minds. Would definitely book with Korri again!”
“We have used Chelsea many times and we really like her she is so good with Dexter he needs medication and she is very good with that as well. When we leave Dexter will her we have no worries.”
“Frank & Julie are Phenomenal! I was quite nervous about trying again to find temporary care for my dog after a poor experience on another pet sitting app. I read all the other positive reviews for this couple and anxiously decided to move forward with booking. I am so pleased with the care they provided! I feel they went above and beyond for my dog. I'm so grateful I found them instead of boarding, where he'd have had very little attention and interaction. Instead he got the love and attention he could want and all the comforts of home. I will happily continue to use their service.”
“Kathy did a great job. She came through for me at a moments notice when my boarder had a cancellation. Her dogs did well with my boy. He came home happy and tired which is a good thing.”
“Caitlin & Samuel were amazing with our dog! They provided pictures every day and were very flexible when we had to adjust our drop off time. We will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Susan was wonderful to work with when trying to find a sitter for our dog. She was quick to respond and was so kind to our dog. I loved that she sent pictures while we were away. I highly recommend Susan. :)”
“For a recent week - long vacation, we left our 3 year old golden doodle with Jeff. This was our first time using Rover and leaving her in someone else's home. After an initial meet and greet, we felt very comfortable with Jeff and Ember loved his fenced in yard. We liked the photo and written updates we received while vacationing. Jeff provided daily walks and outside time. He respected Ember's schedule and tried to maintain her schedule. In addition to our toys and treats, he also provided some. We will definitely use Jeff's boarding for future get aways.”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, horses, ducks, and rabbits. I also had a great deal of time with other animals such as cows, and chickens at my Grandpa's dairy farm. One of my past jobs was being a dog sitter, to care for them, and do some training as well. I loved it! 🙂😁 I now have a German Shepard and Husky mix named Apollo, and I love teaching him new things, spending time with him, and of course taking care of him. 🥰❤️ I'm currently working as a house cleaner, and although I love the job, I would like to work some more hours. Sometimes clients cancel or reschedule cleanings resulting in less hours. I'm looking to do this hopefully full time, as I miss working with dogs. 🙂😁 I currently have a huge yard, but I can also give walks if suggested. I'm welcoming any animals except cats due to my boyfriend being allergic. I will do my very best to help any of your fur babies feel at home. 💌😁
“My older pug sounds horrible when he breathes, but we are used to it and didn’t give Melissa enough information. She made sure we knew Harley wasn’t settling in very good and she was concerned. After sharing some ideas, they all settled down. Jelly Bean, my young pug, was entertained all weekend and both came home healthy and Happy! She is set up well for caring for our babies!”
“Shana is amazing with our cockapoo. She treats him like he’s her family and sends me daily update and pictures. Gary loves going for sleepovers whenever we go on vacation. Definitely recommend”
