“Kristal did an awesome job taking care of our 'baby" and making her feel at home while we were out of state for a wedding. She kept us up on how Shasta was doing & sent pictures each day. It was good to see how she had found her favorite spot in their home & also enjoyed their outside fenced-in yard. Since they no longer have a dog of their own & only take in one boarder at a time, she had more attention than some days at home! We would definitely take her to Kristal again.”
“Emily was fantastic! Our dog loved every minute of being there. She was very communicative during our week long vacation and made sure to send lots of photos of our Pen getting loved on. We will absolutely be booking with Emily for any future trips or just for a small pooch vaca for our dog. We highly recommend!”
“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!!”
“Shanna was incredible! She took care of our boy somewhat last minute + he honestly had more fun than he would have with us :) If we’re ever in town again, we would gladly leave Zeb in Shanna’s care.”
“Heather and her husband were so great with our dog, Sheeva. It was our first Rover experience and we had a wonderful experience with them. They sent photos and updates every day so we could see how she was doing and that was very much appreciated. Sheeva was a happy and tired girl when we picked her up so it was clear she had a great time. We will be booking with Heather again!”
“Melissa and her family did such a great job with Tucker while we were out of state for a family wedding. Tucker tends to have separation anxiety when away from his people, but he was very at home with Melissa! Thank you for providing peace of mind while we were away!”
“Jeffrey was amazing with communication from the start of booking all the way to the end of the trip. He truly eased my fears of leaving my dog for the first time ever. He took her on walks and just gave her so much love and TLC. He gave daily updates on my dog and even sent pictures. Eased my heart for sure. He was truly amazing with my dog Belle and I will definitely be using him in the future.”
“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.”
“Such a Blessing of a Family to leave our puppy with! All our hesitations and anxieties of leaving our 4.5 yr old mini Aussie for a week were instantly gone as Shelby and daughter so lovingly gave her a home away from home. Along with her gentleness and patience came two gorgeous Bernedoodle friends to make our girl’s stay a superFun place to be while we were away! Felt guilty picking her up from her Staycation. Highly Recommend!!”
“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.”
“Holly was amazing to work with! She treated our dog as one of her own and went above and beyond with sending pictures and videos throughout the stay. She will be the first person I ask the next time we need care for our dog!”
“Colleen took such great care of Hoosier while we were gone! It is obvious she truly loves animals and they love her back. Our very anxious pup took to her right away and had such a great time with her.”
“This was our first time boarding our 7 month old puppy and the experience couldn’t have been any better. Anuradha and her family took amazing care of our dog. They sent us photos and videos everyday. Our dog slept with them at night and got to run around with their dog everyday. We will definitely be boarding here again in the future when we need too!”
“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.”
“We loved working with Kimberly. She watched our dog for the first time and suggested a meet and greet to make sure she was a good fit with her own dog. We loved that and it made us trust her from the start. When we met her, Kimberly asked us many questions about our dog that made us feel like she would take very good care of her. Also, Kimberly’s home is quite literally the perfect set up for dogs. We know that our dog loved staying there and we enjoyed the updates Kimberly sent us throughout her stay. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Our dog had an excellent stay! She treated him like one of the family. I also got updates every day or so, which was really nice to see. We will definitely use Mackenzie again for our dog”
“Both Cate and Andy were so kind and loving to my two dogs when we went away for the weekend. They welcomed them into their home. The dogs both had good playtime in their beautiful fenced backyard. Cate and Andy sent pictures and video during their stay to keep me updated! They were so wonderful.”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was very young. Fur babies seem to seek me out, whether it is in nature or encounters on the street; you can catch me waving at animals before humans (lol). I've had dogs, cats, a horse, and bunnies off and on throughout my life. I just lost my bunny George, so finding Rover is the perfect opportunity to get some fur baby time in to help mourn my little love 🥲 Im excited to love on your babies if you'll have me 🫶 I'm currently very flexible with my time as I make my own hours. I would like to fill my time with fur babies as much as possible :) I will follow any instruction you have regarding your home and your furry companions. Safety and trust are important to me and I want to make sure you know your animals are loved by me too.
“Melissa did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She was timely, sent updates and gave them plenty of attention. Would definitely book again with her!”
“Leanna was great! So friendly and easy to work with. This is our first time using Rover and she made us feel comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care. Definitely will use Leanna again and recommend anyone looking for some to care for their pets choose Leanna as well.”
“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: With over 5 years of cat-sitting experience, I provide attentive, reliable care related to each cat's unique personality and needs. I have worked with cats of all ages and temperaments. My priority is creating a calm, safe environment where your cats feels safe while you are away.
About: I used to have cats and have raised kittens, but I can no longer have cats of my own because my husband is allergic. I miss having and will enjoy being around them when I sit for yours.
“Carly is great! She did drop in visits with my two cats while I was out of town for 4 days. She sent me a lot of pictures and videos during her visits. The kitties were so happy when I returned home and I felt great about letting them stay in their own home!”
About: i’m a nurse at a hospital in Green Bay so I only work 3, 12s a week and have a lot of free time my other 4 days and I love being active and enjoying the nice outdoors. Every day I make sure I get 10 to 15,000 steps, me and your furry friend will be sure to be tired out! I have a lot of free time during the week as I only work three days a week which makes my availability very flexible & changes weekly. I live near a dog park that I spend quite a bit of time at, my yard is half fenced in & I have lots of neighborhood furry friends that love to play!
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.
“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 been taking care of dogs on my own since middle school. We've always had a family dog in the household as well as friends and neighbors who would need help with their little ones. I have a BS in Animal Science, have worked as an emergency vet assistant/triage tech for the last 3 years, and have some professional dog training experience. I currently have 2 guinea pigs, and a 2-year-old AND 1-year-old pitty/lab mix that love to come to work with me and go on all sorts of outdoor adventures! Needless to say, my life revolves around animals and I don't know what the world would be like without them! I would love to get to know your little one and be there for them (and you!) when needed! Good communication and planning helps me arrange my schedule and make myself available for your needs. I often have days off during the week so I can spend time with our furry friends while their families are at work. Having worked in an emergency pet hospital keeps me on my toes and I always put safety first. When it comes to walking outside, I double check collar/harness every time to ensure a secure yet comfortable fit that can't be slipped out of. I also know dog body language and signs of illness to monitor and keep people and pets safe!
“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 grown up with 7 cats, so I have years of hands-on experience caring for cats of all personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from feeding routines and litter box cleaning to playing with active cats and giving space to shy ones. I pay close attention to behavior and make sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
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: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up around animals and have experience helping care for a wide variety of pets. This has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand the unique needs and personalities of different animals. I grew up with Labrador Retrievers and have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care and attention. Whether it's feeding, exercise, playtime, walks, or simply providing companionship, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets like they are my own. I understand that every pet is part of the family, and my goal is to give owners peace of mind while providing their pets with the care, love, and attention they deserve. As a college student who works part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I carefully manage my classes and work hours so I can give pets the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Because I genuinely enjoy being around animals, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding, playtime, or evening visits, I am committed to making sure pets stay happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am dependable, responsive, and dedicated to following each pet's routine to help them feel safe and at ease. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow each pet owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication needs, and any special care requirements. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and routine so I can provide consistent care and minimize stress while their family is away. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as they left it. My goal is to provide dependable, trustworthy care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind.

“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.”
“Shanna and her husband were awesome, they provided a calm atmosphere for our nervous girls and never tried to push them to do anything they didn’t want to do. Will definitely book again next time we’re in Green Bay!”
“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!”
“I couldn’t have been happier with the care and attention Breanna gave to our pets. The whole process was so easy and Breanna was very accommodating. She sent pictures and messages to let me know how our babies were doing and allowed us to have a great day without worrying about our pets. She is a very sweet girl with an obvious love for animals. An overall outstanding experience; I would highly recommend her!!!”
About: After being an elementary teacher for the last 15 years I have decided to stay home and join Rover while my kids are in school! I will of course be available after school and weekends too! I have a deep love for all animals so please trust me to take care of your fur babies like they were my own! I taught elementary school for 15 years and we moved to the area recently. My kids are in school and my husband works out of town. I would love to spend my week taking care of your pets and enjoying this beautiful area. I am happy to visit your pets in your own home and stop by anytime for a walk or just for a needed potty break! I also welcome pets to my own home :)
About: I grew up 5 pets at home. My mom has worked for rover for 5 years, I’ve helped her growing up. I also love animals so much! I am a college athlete here at Green Bay. I live here over the summer to train with my team. I love animals and I can’t wait to meet yours 💛 Growing up with 5 animals at home, it was always a packed house and we made sure they all got time outside and some 101 time!
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who recently retired, and I’m looking to fill my days with some extra puppy love. My pup, Cullen, and I are a duo that loves company. Since I’m home throughout the day, your dog will have constant supervision, plenty of backyard time, and all the belly rubs they can handle. We’re looking for friendly companions to join us for neighborhood strolls and afternoon naps. Your pup won’t just be "staying" here—they’ll be part of the family! Since I am retired, my schedule is completely dedicated to pet care. Your dog will enjoy 24/7 companionship and a consistent routine, as I am home full-time to provide potty breaks, backyard play, and plenty of cuddles. Cullen and I are very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and we look forward to a Meet & Greet to ensure a perfect match! We offer a fully fenced-in backyard featuring a beautiful koi pond. To ensure a safe and harmonious environment for everyone, I look for guest dogs who have a solid foundation in basic obedience and a 'gentle' temperament around water and wildlife. My own dog loves making new friends, and I prioritize active supervision to ensure all 'fur babies'—and my fish—stay happy and safe!
“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!”
About: Please read the entire profile. I did grow 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 . With boarding, For larger dogs, they 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 11:45am -2:00pm Monday-Thursday. Your pet will be in a kennel during this time. Having retired 5/1/25, I have the time to provide loving care, playtime and walks with your pet. I will provide pictures and updates to you. 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.
“i can not say enough wonderful things about Ally…I know our little Ruthie feels the same. From the walks to the park and on the trails, to the play time and rest time Ally was a pro! My only wish is that she lived in Kentucky! We will be in Appleton again soon and hope that Ally is available for Ruthie again…”
“Bobbie and Clark were so good in taking care of Diggory! He gets scared in meeting new people but he quickly warmed up to them and their dogs and came home very tired! Cannot say enough good things about them!”
“Cristy provided great day care for our elderly beagle Rusty. She was very attentive to his needs, provided great communication, and went out of her way to accommodate our schedule. I don't know what she did, but Rusty acted five years younger when we picked him up each day. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life. From the family dog, to my own dog, and pet sitting for family and friends. I have experience with all sizes and breeds! I absolutely adore animals in general and am working towards having my own daycare/boarding center one day. I work from home and can watch your furbabies here anytime! I have some days of the week where I am off for the full day and can drop in at your place as well. My pupper is my baby and treated just like my son! I view dogs as part of the family which means snuggles on the couch and in bed. Time outside walking or playing fetch is a must! I also enjoy being able to go to pet friendly places such as the dog park, Bark & Brew, as well as pet friendly patios.
“I truly appreciate Colleen for taking care of my fur baby all day! She is super nice and took very good care of my fur baby! I definitely recommend her. If and when I am back in Greenbay I will for sure do another booking with her.”
“Mackenzie was the absolute perfect dog sitter for our sweet Maverick! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. It was clear she loved and cared for him as if he were her own, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away at the Packers game. She kept us updated with pictures and made sure Maverick had everything he needed — including lots of love and snuggles! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and who truly loves animals. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy!”
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!
“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: An LPN by trade, I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Since I was a little girl, dogs and cats have held a special place in my heart, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Anyone who knows me personally knows how deeply I love animals and how important they are to me. My own dogs are truly part of my family—they’re my babies—and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and family members regularly rely on me to watch and board their beloved pets when they travel. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for daily walks, playing, providing companionship, or simply making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When your pet is in my care, I will treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a loving, dependable, and stress-free experience for both you and your furry family member, so you can have peace of mind knowing they are receiving plenty of attention, affection, and care. As a nurse who is currently taking a break from my career, I have the time and flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. My mornings start with potty breaks, breakfast, and plenty of love and attention for the pets in my care. After a relaxing coffee break, we head out for a daily walk, with the distance tailored to each pet’s age, energy level, and abilities—anywhere from a leisurely stroll to a 1–3 mile adventure. The rest of the day includes playtime, cuddles, companionship, and ensuring your pet feels comfortable and secure. I understand how much pet parents miss their furry family members, so I’m happy to send photos and videos to keep you updated and give you peace of mind. Afternoons are typically a time for rest and relaxation, followed by supper and another walk in the evening if needed. Because I am home throughout the day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, exercise, and affection. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable, safe, and loving as possible—just like they are part of my own family. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. While we do not have a fenced yard, I am committed to responsible pet care and will always use a leash when outdoors—without exception. I understand that pets are cherished family members, and I take every precaution to keep them safe. My home is shared with two friendly, low-key dogs who enjoy daily walks, relaxing in the sunshine, and plenty of couch cuddles. They are accustomed to being around other pets and help create a calm, welcoming environment. Whether your pet enjoys activity and adventure or prefers quiet companionship and affection, I will do my best to make them feel comfortable, loved, and right at home.
About: Hi, I'm Melissa! I grew up surrounded by pets, and that passion grew into a lifelong career in animal care. I bring over a decade of professional facility experience to Rover, including serving as a Pack Leader at Tailwaggers Doggy Daycare and spending seven years as a specialized Caregiver at the world-renowned Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. There, I worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and behavioral needs, including dog-selective and dog-aggressive behaviors. Currently, I keep my skills sharp working part-time as a Kennel Technician at a daycare and boarding facility right here in Green Bay. Because of my professional background, I’m highly experienced with administering medications, recognizing subtle body language, and reinforcing basic training. I know how important routine is, so I am more than happy to strictly follow whatever household rules you have set for your pet. Whether your furbaby is a social butterfly or a quiet soul who needs a patient, gentle approach, I have the intuitive skills to make them feel safe and loved. When I’m not caring for your pets, I’m hanging out with my own senior "puppy," a 9-year-old dog named Alba (pictured with me!), and my 14-year-old "kitten." I love house-sitting, overnight stays, and dog walking, and my ultimate goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're away. I can’t wait to meet your furbabies! My part-time schedule as a local kennel technician makes me incredibly flexible for pet sitting! I work from 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM – 6:30 PM (about 25 hours a week), which leaves my entire midday window from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM wide open for lunchtime walks, playtime, and companionship. I am also available for quick check-ins before my morning shift, and my evenings are completely free after 6:30 PM for late-night cuddles and dedicated overnight stays. Because my daily job already centers around professional feeding, medicating, and cleaning, keeping your pet's routine seamless and sanitary between my shifts is second nature to me! My goal is to keep your pets in their happiest, most comfortable element, which is why I specialize in caring for them right in their own home! With over a decade of professional animal facility experience and a huge heart for all creatures, I pride myself on being the next best thing to you when you’re away. I am fully backed by Rover and prioritize open, consistent communication—sending you regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they are in safe hands. As a major bonus, I am an exceptionally tidy person who genuinely enjoys cleaning. My past clients have always loved coming home to happy, healthy, stress-free pets and a thoroughly clean, respected house! 🧽🐾
About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years, including my own dogs and pets for other families. I’ve done everything from quick drop-in visits and walks to staying with pets for several days while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with different routines and can also give oral medication when needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention and that their normal routine stays as consistent as possible. My work schedule varies from week to week, so my availability depends on the dates requested. I only accept bookings that work well with my schedule and your pet’s needs. Before booking, I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine, how long they are comfortable being left alone, and any specific care they need so we can make sure I’m a good fit. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, walks, medication, and anything else your pet may need. I respect your home, keep things clean, and make your pet’s safety a priority. I also send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and being well cared for.
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.
“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: 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.

You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I work full time, but I’m available before and after work on weekdays, as well as on weekends. I can provide walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention during those times. I’ll make sure your pet stays on their regular routine and receives reliable, consistent care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up around animals and have experience helping care for a wide variety of pets. This has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand the unique needs and personalities of different animals. I grew up with Labrador Retrievers and have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care and attention. Whether it's feeding, exercise, playtime, walks, or simply providing companionship, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets like they are my own. I understand that every pet is part of the family, and my goal is to give owners peace of mind while providing their pets with the care, love, and attention they deserve. As a college student who works part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I carefully manage my classes and work hours so I can give pets the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Because I genuinely enjoy being around animals, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding, playtime, or evening visits, I am committed to making sure pets stay happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am dependable, responsive, and dedicated to following each pet's routine to help them feel safe and at ease. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow each pet owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication needs, and any special care requirements. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and routine so I can provide consistent care and minimize stress while their family is away. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as they left it. My goal is to provide dependable, trustworthy care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind.
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: 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: I am specialized in training all types of dogs! I make sure that the dog is taken care of and is having a blast while the parents are gone! I am very outgoing, active, and good at communicating. I currently work part time as a server so I am available whenever just may have to step away for a couple hours to waitress. I have tons of grass area at my house, and have a ton of room as well for the dog to move around and play when needed!
“Katherine and Liam: What a great couple who help keep our pet Finley happy by walking with him each day while my husband and I work. Don’t hesitate to consider these two. They love dogs and our dog loves them!”
About: I have 2 dogs and love talking them on walks during the week. I’ve also volunteered at the humane society helping to care for the animals. I work part time at Kwik Trip during the week from 9 am until 12 pm so I’m available to walk dogs anytime after 12 pm during the week. I don’t work on the weekend but anytime after 12 pm works best for me to walk dogs on the weekend. I have 2 dogs and they love other dogs. There’s a dog park in Green Bay that I visit and a trail in Green Bay that I love walking my dogs on.

“Emily was fantastic! Our dog loved every minute of being there. She was very communicative during our week long vacation and made sure to send lots of photos of our Pen getting loved on. We will absolutely be booking with Emily for any future trips or just for a small pooch vaca for our dog. We highly recommend!”
“Shanna was incredible! She took care of our boy somewhat last minute + he honestly had more fun than he would have with us :) If we’re ever in town again, we would gladly leave Zeb in Shanna’s care.”
“Heather and her husband were so great with our dog, Sheeva. It was our first Rover experience and we had a wonderful experience with them. They sent photos and updates every day so we could see how she was doing and that was very much appreciated. Sheeva was a happy and tired girl when we picked her up so it was clear she had a great time. We will be booking with Heather again!”
“Melissa and her family did such a great job with Tucker while we were out of state for a family wedding. Tucker tends to have separation anxiety when away from his people, but he was very at home with Melissa! Thank you for providing peace of mind while we were away!”
“Jeffrey was amazing with communication from the start of booking all the way to the end of the trip. He truly eased my fears of leaving my dog for the first time ever. He took her on walks and just gave her so much love and TLC. He gave daily updates on my dog and even sent pictures. Eased my heart for sure. He was truly amazing with my dog Belle and I will definitely be using him in the future.”
“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.”
“Such a Blessing of a Family to leave our puppy with! All our hesitations and anxieties of leaving our 4.5 yr old mini Aussie for a week were instantly gone as Shelby and daughter so lovingly gave her a home away from home. Along with her gentleness and patience came two gorgeous Bernedoodle friends to make our girl’s stay a superFun place to be while we were away! Felt guilty picking her up from her Staycation. Highly Recommend!!”
“Holly was amazing to work with! She treated our dog as one of her own and went above and beyond with sending pictures and videos throughout the stay. She will be the first person I ask the next time we need care for our dog!”
“This was our first time boarding our 7 month old puppy and the experience couldn’t have been any better. Anuradha and her family took amazing care of our dog. They sent us photos and videos everyday. Our dog slept with them at night and got to run around with their dog everyday. We will definitely be boarding here again in the future when we need too!”
“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.”
“We loved working with Kimberly. She watched our dog for the first time and suggested a meet and greet to make sure she was a good fit with her own dog. We loved that and it made us trust her from the start. When we met her, Kimberly asked us many questions about our dog that made us feel like she would take very good care of her. Also, Kimberly’s home is quite literally the perfect set up for dogs. We know that our dog loved staying there and we enjoyed the updates Kimberly sent us throughout her stay. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Our dog had an excellent stay! She treated him like one of the family. I also got updates every day or so, which was really nice to see. We will definitely use Mackenzie again for our dog”
“Both Cate and Andy were so kind and loving to my two dogs when we went away for the weekend. They welcomed them into their home. The dogs both had good playtime in their beautiful fenced backyard. Cate and Andy sent pictures and video during their stay to keep me updated! They were so wonderful.”
“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.”
“Sara and her family provided a wonderful home for our two dogs while we were on a trip! They have a large fenced-in backyard where they could run around and play with Luna. They came home happy and pooped from all their fun. We are so grateful, and will definitely use them in the future!”
“Angela was the best!! She was super accommodating for our pup Molly and sent us multiple pictures/ checked in regularly. I would absolutely love to book with her again and 3000% recommend her to others!”
