“My first time boarding my 15 year old 1/2 blind dog. Somewhere like this. He walked around and was comfortable right away! Usually he is upset if I leave him home for a short time. Not this time he barely took time to say goodbye to me! This made it so much easier going on vacation. Thank you for taking such good care of him!!”
“Brandi is AMAZING!! She has training and years of experience with dogs. She is gentle and kind, and 100% trustworthy. She is so fun, and sent updates everyday while we were on vacation. I can’t say enough about Brandi. We were so thankful that she loved our pup while we were out of town.”
“When I picked Abby up she was relaxed. She usually cries for the first 15 minuets. I think she really enjoyed her stay with Megan and the kids. Thank you so much. It was so nice to go somewhere and know Abby was taken care of.”
“Amazing! A home away from home for my fur baby, Shianne. Brooke is very attentive, knowledgeable, caring, detail-oriented with outstanding and professional communication. Loved the daily updates and pictures. Remy and Shianne formed the most adorable bond. Already looking forward to our next stay!”
“Brooke was OUTSTANDING with our pup! Daily updates with pictures, tons of lovings and cuddles, and plenty of walks while we were away. We brought home one very happy boy! I highly recommend her when you're in need of the best out there to take care of your fur baby!”
“This was our first time using Rover. The daily pictures they sent showed us how relaxed and comfortable our dog was. Shawn and Joey made this a great experience for us and we did not have to worry about our dog while we were away.”
“Andrea was wonderful. My dog Gracie has severe anxiety and it wasn’t going to work, unfortunately. I ended up having to leave work and take her home. I felt bad for Andrea, but she reassured me she was fine with everything. Some dogs just don’t do well in other people’s homes. Anita”
“Christy and her family took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was on vacation. This was the longest I have had to leave them with non-family members, so I was a little nervous to leave them. But after our meet and greet, I felt totally comfortable with my decision to have her watch them. She sent daily updates and my babies were happy when I picked them up!”
“Marilyn was amazing!! When Nikko first met her, he instantly fell in love with her. She was great with communication and providing picture updates of him. He was spoiled with walks and play time. Highly recommend her!”
“Morgan was amazing! She was very flexible with our timing needs, and so excited to care for Panzer. I appreciated the picture she sent about 2 hours into the day. I relaxed, knowing our dog was fitting in, and not stressed about missing us. Actually, I’m sure he was kept so busy he didn’t have a chance to miss us. Highly recommend Morgan!”
“Bruce loves spending time with Tammie! She takes him on lots of walks and gives lots of love. In addition, I was on a work trip and my flight was canceled last night, then delayed today. Tammie graciously managed the uncertainty and made the situation less stressful for me, knowing that Bruce was in good hands. I’m forever grateful that Tammie treats Bruce like her own ❤️”
“Nick is caring and active Boarder. He made Nikki and I comfortable with our first "sitter" experience and Nikki really took to him. She seemed really happy with him and Im really grateful for that. Im relieved that I can get away and trust that my dear dear fur child is cared for with such detail. Very grateful we know Nick!!”
“Autumn was absolutely amazing! She took Hank on short notice and was able to accommodate him perfectly. She went above and beyond. She took Hank out with her often and let him hangout with her dog! I highly recommend her!”
About: I had a huskey when I was younger that I took care of everyday. I now have a 1 year old Aussie doodle. I am trained in emergency situations. My current job allows me plenty of time off to play and love your animals. I’m available almost everyday in someway. I have plenty of time and availability to walk and feed and play with your pet. I have an underground fence for my own dog. He is super friendly and loves to play. I live close to the dog park for plenty of fun and exercise. I have multiple crates to use as needed.
“We are so grateful we found Kris to watch our Pomeranian last minute! We got lots of pictures of him at his visit and it sounded and looked like he has an absolute blast! We will be recommending Kris to family and friends and definitely using her again!”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was very young. I’ve watched friends pets when they go out of town and I currently have my own cats and a dog! I’m currently only working part time and from home, so I will have plenty of time to spoil your pups with all the love and attention they deserve! I have a tie out for potty time, as well as extra leashes for walks since I don’t have a fenced in yard! I also have a friendly pup that would love to keep yours company and play!
“Eleanor loved staying with Laurie again. She takes wonderful care of dogs and sends pictures/updates! I can tell that she really cares about the animals when they are staying with her and wants them to be so comfortable…Thank you again!”

“I hired Arianna to house sit and watch our cat while we were away for a few days. I was very pleased with the quality of care she provided and I would definitely use her services again. My cat can be rather high maintenance and Arianna handled all of her attitude and whims so well! 🙂 I also appreciated the updates and photos that she sent throughout the stay.”
“Emily was amazing! So friendly and our cats all LOVED her, which is crazy because normally they aren’t all keen on new people. She was prompt and updated us immediately with several pictures and how they were doing. Thanks, Emily!”
About: I have been working with animals since I was young. I currently have 7 dogs. I groom and work with many breeds. I am trusted with dogs and cats everyday for grooming now I would love to add in walking and pet sitting. I currently work part time which leaves me the flexibility in the afternoon and evenings to walk and care for other pets. I am also available for pet sitting on most weekends and after 2 pm the week days! I have dog friendly pups that come with me to keep other pups entertained while in your home. They can be kenneled as well if needed.
About: I've lived with animals my whole life and even taken care of newborn kittens more than once, along with caring for my 3 cute dogs. I work at a caregiving facility a couple days a week and every other weekend so I'm free 3 to 5 days during the week, during those days off I have all the time to do whatever but I never have anything to do so I thought why not take care of animals since I have some myself and I have all the love for them. I care for people's pets how I would care for mine, with love and patience, even getting them out to play or for a walk, just getting them the exercise and play time they need.
“Becky was so wonderful! She stopped in twice a day to watch our cat Percy while we were away and she took great care of him. She went above and beyond, playing with him, sending updates, and gave us complete peace of mind that he was being well taken care of. Percy definitely misses her since we have come home, he seems even more playful after her visits. We are so thankful to Becky and highly recommend her!”
About: I started my dog watching journey when I was about 16. I used to watch a friend's dogs whenever she was away. Even when she was at work when her older dog was ill. I have a kinship with dogs like no other. It's only in the last 5 years that I've developed that with cats as well. I have a flexible work schedule that can accommodate any needs you have. I will update my calendar as to my availability at least every 2 weeks. I can accommodate 1 or 2 dogs only on the weekends. But, in your home I will respect everything. I won't mess anything up and if I do I'll return it better than I left it.
About: Your pets needs and comfort are top priority! I am a huge animal lover and have owned animals of all different breeds my entire life. I currently own a bearded dragon, Chameleon, 2 snakes, 3 cats, a husky and fish. I grew up helping out on my grandpa's beef farm and then milking cows at my neighbors. I have also done pet sitting for friends and family. I have worked at a petstore and helped out at a Vet clinic. I am always asked by friends and family to watch their animals, which I love. When sitting for someone else I treat their animals just like my own and give them tons of love and attention, I also enjoy taking pics or videos to share with the owners and keep them up to date on what is going on.
“Melissa did a fantastic job caring for Oliver! I looked forward to receiving her updates each day and seeing the adorable photos she managed to capture of my boy :) I could tell Oliver was in great hands and enjoyed his time with her.”
About: I’ve had two dogs growing up, a mini boxer and a French bulldog. I’ve cared for them all my life. I have bathed, walked, fed, and gave them so much love. We got our Puppy when I was 14, so I have a lot of experience caring for puppies as well. I didn’t grow up in a home with cats, but I love them too. I’ve had lots of experience cat sitting and get along with them well too! I am a masters student at UW-Stevens Point, in the Natural Resources department. I will not be able to provide services mid day Fridays or Mondays, but I am flexible the rest of the week! I will always follow your directions and keep a good baseline of contact with you! I am not allowed to board pets in my apartment, but I will always be respectful of your space as well.

“Very last minute booking that she was very responsive to. She was flexible and patient in integrating her dogs, who Zuma loved. Zuma can be a nervous girl but Arianna really helped her feel comfortable. She's also great at training and her dogs are well behaved, which is helpful for a nervous dog like Zuma. I got lots of updates and pictures, she even took Zuma on a nice hike/run and she was well tuckered out after. An amazing price for the time and dedication she put into hosting Zuma. Will definitely use again if I'm in the area!”
“Great place for day care! My dog had so much fun he was so excited to go and didn’t want to leave at the end of the day. Very communicative through the process! Would recommend.”
“Brandi is amazing! I needed a sitter at the last minute until my husband was released from the hospital and we live 1 and 1/2 hour’s from hospital so we were in a jam. Brandi was so nice and accommodating! My dog Auggie had a great time! It’s just he needed. Thanks again Brandi! ❤️”
“I am so glad that we found Becky to care for our dog Josie while we are away! Josie absolutely loved her stay and we could tell she was happy, very comfortable and well-loved! Josie has special needs and Becky’s compassion and care is exactly what we, and Josie needed! She is the best!”
“Daisy loves her visits with Christy. I feel she is well taken care of with Christy being home during the day. Christy is very accommodating and has even picked Daisy up at our home.”

“Absolutely amazing experience. Lovely family..so animal friendly. Our baby loves going to Morgan's home. She had the ability to learn how to be gentle with littles...run like crazy outside and play nice with other pups”
“Randee was so accommodating. He has a nice area for any dog to get there exercise and sunbathe. Tonka was certainly tired when he came home. We’ll definitely be asking Randee for another play date!”
“Nick and his wife took excellent care of my two dogs! They sent pictures with updates throughout the day. I will definitely use them again if the need arises. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”

“Emily is great! Very clear that she cares for my dog like her own and I love the pictures she sends. She even goes above and beyond to give my cat some (very welcome) attention too when picking up/dropping off!”
About: I have had pets in my household for as long as I could remember. Growing up we had cats, dogs, hamsters, Guinea pigs, and hermit crabs. In high school, I watched family and neighbors pets while they were away. In college, I got a job at a humane society. Here, I learned how to care for sick animals, administer medications, give vaccinations, treat fleas, remove ticks, take care of puppies and seniors, and much more to make sure all the animals were healthy. Also, I learned how to deal with aggressive and behavioral dogs/cats. Now, I have 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own. Most of them were rescues. I am currently a substitute teacher while I go back to school for my teaching degree. Days vary but typically I will be working 8 hours a day if I do get a job for the day. On weekends, I normally don’t have anything going on. I have a fenced in backyard that allows my dogs to run and use the bathroom. In the morning and at night, I take them for walks. In the afternoon, I take my GSP for a run. On weekends, we like to go to Sniffspots or hiking. In a clients home, I will take them for walks, play in the fenced in backyard if applicable, and sometimes with permission will take them hiking.
“Jody did a great job with our 12 yr old dog. She went at Betsy’s pace and ended up doing a mile. It’s obvious that Jody loves dogs and truly cares about giving them a walk that matches their personality and ability. 😊”

“My first time boarding my 15 year old 1/2 blind dog. Somewhere like this. He walked around and was comfortable right away! Usually he is upset if I leave him home for a short time.
