“Our dog, Ozzy, did great at Jennifer's house for a week. He was happy that he had other dogs to play with and was well taken care of. We would definitely use Jennifer again.”
About: Hi there! I’m Destiny & have owned an array of furry friends over the years. I have never NOT had a pup and have owned many different breeds. Currently I own cattle dogs- an Aussie named Marley and Heeler/Collie mix named Sadie. They are 4, I trained them myself & they are extremely well behaved and socialized. I offer boarding, day care, dog walking, and can bathe your pup before returning them home to you. I can also pick up and drop off when needed. I can also house sit and pup sit if that is your need/comfortability as well. I am up for & encourage meet & greets before bookings if you would like to meet myself, the pups and/or see the house and our setup before hand! I work during the normal school year as a nursing instructor. I am off during the summer and am home FULL TIME to dedicate ALL of my time & attention to the fur babies! I promise your baby will be tuckered out, loved on and well fed (to your instructions of course!) Boarding at my home: safety is my top priority with animal to animal interaction and human to animal interaction. If pups need more alone time/privacy, they can be housed separately from my dogs at all times as we have multiple access points from our home to our fenced in yard and gate sectioning in our house. I do walks daily with them and am outside with them as well for the majority of the day. Our fenced in yard has a dog pool and I have BUCKETS of toys for them to play with! If your pup leans toward the spicier side & is more protective when it comes to their toys, food, or water please let me know and separation accommodations can be made, no problem. All breeds are different and each pup is different. I can also give medications topically, orally, injections etc. I can provide hourly updates through text, video call, phone calls, whatever you would like! At minimum I send a daily update. In your home: as a nurse, safety is always my top priority. I am also extremely clean and organized. I can maintain your daily routine with your pup so they don’t miss much while you are away. Again, meet and greets I encourage so you and especially your pup are comfortable meeting me and being in your home. I’ll be their make-shift auntie while you are away! Whatever update/care you want them to have, you got it- even FaceTime dates so you don’t have to miss them much.
“Our pup is turning 3 in June and we had never left her with anyone. We found Kessia and felt an instant connection. She confidently, but gently assured our pup and us that there was nothing to worry about, and her two pups instantly welcomed ours in playful banter. We have no concerns in leaving our pup with Kessia.”
“What a delight it was seeing pictures and encouraging words from Elizabeth while she was looking after our pup, Mia!! We felt super comfortable after meeting Beth and having a couple of meet n greets. Mia seemed to feel comfortable as well. We will definitely book Beth again next time we need a pet sitter!!”
“Jacob took the best care of our golden retriever, Nala, while we were gone for 8 days for our destination wedding! She loved playing in his fenced in backyard (which we saw in pictures he sent us). It was so nice leaving her knowing that Jacob works from home and would give her all of the attention outside of his working day (although I’m sure Nala tried to distract him during work too LOL). Couldn’t recommend anyone better to take care of your loved pet!!”
“Madeline was great at communicating and keeping me updated about Ponyo. She sent lots of photos and videos. It looks like Ponyo had a great time! I’m already scheduling my next sitting sesh with Madeline again.”
“Joe, Becky, and their family (including their two friendly dogs) did a fabulous job caring for our terrier Zero. They had clear communication and sent several cute update photos during his stay. It was Zero's first time spending the night there, and he came home content and tuckered out. We would gladly bring Zero to them for future dog sitting needs.”
“Nahla was in great hands with Amanda and her family! She received very attentive care and Amanda kept us up to date with messages and photos. Thank you for the wonderful care!”
“Kristy was amazing with my 1 year old Border Collie! He can be a handful but she sent me tons of pictures of him having fun all weekend! I trust her completely and know he was in good hands. He loved the backyard and playing frisbee with her!”
“I always leave my fur baby with Carissa and notice she is always happy when leaving her! She is great at sharing picture of Freida and makes me feel assured she is in great hands. Accommodating and great social interactions. Will continue to book with her and have even driven 3 hours before only because I trust her so much. Thank you again Carissa!”
“We had a great experience with an overnight stay at Tyler & Caitlin's for our boy, Russell! Everything went smoothly from communicating about the stay, dropping him off, receiving updates throughout the weekend, to picking him up Sunday evening. Russell enjoyed playing with their dog and a couple others they were boarding at the time. It was obvious that Tyler and Caitlin love dogs and have lots of experience with them. We would not hesitate to book a stay with them again! :)”
“Amy and Brendan were amazing! They were very flexible and able to take Ponyo on short notice, which was such a lifesaver. Communication was great throughout—they sent updates and photos so I always knew how she was doing. Ponyo got plenty of outdoor time and came home happy (and exhausted!) after all the fun she had. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”
“Rebecca took excellent care of Aurora and sent daily updates of the fun and love Aurora was getting. Anyone who uses her services will be highly satisfied. I would definitely rebook in the futures”
“Savana was great with my 7 month old Beagle for the weekend! She was willing to meet beforehand for a meet & greet, & accommodated my requests very well. I heard Margo & her dog had a lot of fun together. She also sent photos & videos throughout the stay. Would highly recommend Savana!”
About: I grew up showing my family dogs in 4-H shows and now have my own golden retriever at home. Looking to love on some more pets! Teacher school year mode is in full swing so I am available during weekdays outside of 8-4 and weekends. Willing to set up a regular schedule with your pet! I have 75 pound dog of my own that I can keep ahold of walking. I’ve managed many pets of all sizes over the last three years on Rover with varying levels of need.

“Emily was great with our 2 senior cats! She spent extra time with them (so appreciated!) and did great getting medication into our finicky girl. Even our (many) plants thrived under her care:-)!”
“Hailee dropped in on our cat while we were out of town to refill food and scoop the litter box. She responded quickly to all messages and completed everything as asked! We would definitely seek her help again.”
About: I’ve had cats several times in my life and genuinely love being around animals. I adopted my last two cats at approx. 6 months old and they lived to be 14 and 16. I’ve cared for my own cats as well as for friends and family, so I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities and energy levels. I give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout the day. My experience includes playtime, cuddling, feeding routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m attentive to each cat’s individual needs, whether that means lots of affection, or a calm, relaxed environment. You can trust that your pet will be treated like part of the family while they’re in my care.
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with our pet sitter, Emily! She is attentive, caring, and made our fur babies feel right at home. Our pets were happy and relaxed when we returned, and we received regular updates and photos while we were away. I couldn't be more grateful for her excellent service and will definitely be booking Emily again for our next trip. Highly recommended!”
“I was referred to Kristy by my daughter and she did not disappoint. She is so good at communicating and making me feel reassured while away from our fur babies. She is reliable and diligent about keeping the litter boxes tidy and following all my (extensive and sometimes confusing) instructions. What I loved the most though was the tons of pictures she sent each time she visited them! I always knew they were getting love and cuddles and play time. ❤️. Will definitely hire her again next time we have to leave them home.”
About: At any point growing up, we never had less than two dogs, one cat, and one bird (Umbrella Cockatoos). My mother has volunteered at local animal shelters for years while continuing to do so today. Her genuine passion for caring for animals was passed onto my siblings and I from the moment we came home as newborns. Whether it was raising puppies/kittens, or behavior training with rescue pets, I've been around home pet care from a very young age. I've absorbed and learned more independently as I came to having pets of my own. I also worked as a Dog Groomer for a short (but busy) time in college. Over the years, I've cared for puppies/kittens, senior pets, and pets of all different behaviors. My wife and I currently have three cats and one dog at our home, so I'm actively involved in everyday pet care.
“Nicole took such sweet care of my baby boy when I was out of town. She sent me photos of their time together and my boy seemed not mad at me when I returned. That means he was well taken care of. Thank you so much 😊♥️”
About: I've had cats most of my adult life. I also had a dog was kind of a special needs dog. My dog Cooper passed away at 17 years. He was a cavapoo. My cat is not any specific breed. I've had great experience using Rover to take care of my cat.
“First time that Amanda has taken care of my rabbits and everyone involved seemed to enjoy it. She was able to help me last min and followed my posted directions. Will contact her again next time I need help.”
About: Hi! I’m a big animal lover who enjoys spending time with cats, dogs, and any other pets! I’m happy to match your pet’s energy and routine. My family has always had cats growing up, and I’m always the one seeking out the pets at any gathering—I love earning their trust, making them feel comfortable, and making a new furry friend.
“Would highly recommend Carissa. Very sweet and great with our dogs. Our dogs have never been left with anyone besides family. She stayed in contact with me the entire time we were gone. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing our dogs were in caring hands.”

“Jacob looked after my 1 year old husky for the day and there were no issues! He took him for a walk as well which was appreciated. Definitely will trust Jacob for sitting or boarding again.”
“Amanda and her family were amazing! They cared for our Apollo like he was their own, and made him feel loved. She updated me throughout the day by sending me pics and how he was doing. Will definitely use her services in the future if/when needed. Highly recommend! Thanks again”

About: I bring a calm, friendly presence that helps pets feel safe and relaxed while their people are away. I’ve grown up with animals and currently care for a few clients’ pets in Eau Claire — including a 3-week stay with multiple pets. I know how important routines are, and I pride myself on clear communication, clean homes, and happy tails. Whether it’s a quick walk or a full house sit, I’ll follow your instructions to the letter and treat your pets like my own. I’m flexible, detail-oriented, and truly love getting to know each animal’s personality. My goal is always to create a stress-free experience — for both you and your furry family. Pet care can fit seamlessly into my routine. I currently bartend and this allows for more flexibility and available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, or house sitting throughout the week — your pet’s needs come first in my day! I have no pets at my home so my casa is your pets casa with no interference. At my 8 plex building there is a much area to run around if they can be off leash otherwise the area is great to walk for potty breaks at anytime. I live in a safe, quiet and less trafficked area which will be great for walks!
About: I've been around animals my whole life. I have a cat and have had several different dogs. I even fostered dogs for a summer. I'm now divorced and have my kids half the time. My work is flexible and I can add in dog care as needed throughout the day. I homeschool my boys when I have them and work delivery jobs when I don't. My work is very flexible so I can make time for per care any time. I live in town with a small yard. It works best to come to your home as it's most familiar for the animal. My home is a good size but has close neighbors. You can find my personal pet sitting page called Jessica's Pet Sitting on Facebook.
“Carissa was very easy to work with setting up the first meeting/trial run. It is nice to have daycare options when we are at our campsite and want to go do things, without having to leave him at the camper. Cope must have really enjoyed himself because he headed back towards her house, rather than the car when it was time to leave.”
“I booked a doggy daycare as a “meet and greet” before we did a 3 day/2 night stay. They have a very large, fenced in yard and I had a great communication leading up to and at pickup. We are looking forward to our worry-free weekend away.”
“Hadyn was wonderful! She watched our Ruby on a last minute notice and sent us regular updates. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Thank you again Hadyn!”
“Chris did great with the dogs! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!! He played fetch with our lab until she got tired (who can play fetch FOREVER... seriously forever). He’s very considerate, informative, and a true dog lover! I can tell he does is absolute best to give the pups the excersize and love they need and deserve!”
About: Hey there! I am an animal lover to the core. Let me be your pet's new best friend while you are away! I recently moved back to the Midwest to be closer to family, about two years ago. I was traveling constantly for work, but am now full time work from home. When I lived in another state for work, I did pet care as a part time job with private clients weekly. I grew to absolutely love it and would love to get established back in Wisconsin. I grew up with dogs, cats, and cows my entire life - being raised on a farm. I am the type of person who can’t stop without petting a dog whenever I see one! Providing companionship to your pet is my favorite thing to do. We can go on walks, eat food, and watch the latest Hulu show together! Your fur baby is welcome to sleep with me, on the floor, or in any bed or crate you bring. My two rescue cats absolutely LOVE other animals, so there is no worry there. They are so curious and eventually become besties! Since I am work from home full time now, so I am extremely flexible and they will have constant attention. I do live in an apartment, BUT, I am right next to the walking trail in River Prairie (the loop). I would be more than happy to go on as many walks as needed, and enjoy some sunshine with your fur baby! So do not worry, they can be outside as much or little as you’d like. I am open to care of all animals, all sizes, and all ages. If wanted, I visit my family farm quite often where we have extensive yard and land to run on. It is 100% an option for me to take your pet there if you want them to have some extra smells, especially if they stay long term with me. I’m extremely flexible and want you to not have to worry! While I traveled full time for work in the past, constant updates on my animals back home was crucial to me. I will provide as much or little communication you’d like. I’m here to meet you and your pet where you’d like and keep being away from them stress free. I promise they are in such caring hands! I work from home most days and go on daily walks myself! I would love to have a companion along with me to help make my place less lonely! During the weekends I can give even extra attention! I have access to the loop walk near River Prairie where i can take your pet for a potty break or for a walk! Depending how far they like to go - I can do the full three miles with them, or cut it shorter! I will be here with them to provide food, water, and care. Your pet will be my number 1 priority while I am with them!
About: I have had dogs since as long as I can remember, and have always loved caring for and playing with them! Not just dogs, but other animals as well. I’ve also helped friends care for and train new puppies and pets. I majored in Behavior Analysis and have worked in an animal behavior lab. I would love to get outside and active with your pets! Being able to spend time with pups and other pets is a dream job, and I can’t wait to make sure your friends are happy and loved when you need me. I work M-F 8-4:30, but am very flexible with my weekend and evening time if you need my help. For doggy daycare, I work from home Mondays and Tuesdays so can accommodate your pets then! I have a very friendly golden retriever at home, as well as a cat who tolerates dogs and mostly keeps to herself. We do not have a fenced in yard, but I am more than willing to walk them as much as needed.
“Lindsay watched our dog Luna for several hours one afternoon while we were in town to visit my grandma. She was very friendly and kind to Luna and was a tremendous help to us - we would certainly book with her again if needed! Highly recommend :)”
About: I have worked for roughly two years dog sitting for friends and family. Typically these have been in my own home - occasionally overnight. I have a fenced in back yard for my 3 dogs & 2 cats so I have experience with both :) I have complete availability currently, so my dog at home gets quite a lot of walks and park time. If possible, i also try to socialize him with people each day. Typically I take my dog to the dog park in the evening with a long walk in the morning. This works best for my dogs energy levels, but each dog is different. I am also trying to socialize my dog in public as he is a bit scared of humans so we try to hit some breweries here and there.
About: I grew up with many family pets and helped care for them. I have worked professionally at day care and boarding/training facilities. In 2011 I acquired a Veterinary Assisting Diploma from Horizon School of Veterinary Assisting. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, most days I am available. We can talk and figure out what would work best for you and your companion animal. I will respect your animals current routine already in place and follow through with daily care needs as if you would for them in your home.
About: I've had a lot of dogs in my life since I was very little that I have helped watch or care for. I help watch my relatives dogs when they are out on vacation or just gone for a few days. They've always relied on me to help them out and of course I did! I was always willing to take their dogs to care for if others they asked first couldn't do so. I've bathe and fed their pets as if they were just like mine to love and care for while in my hands! I'm a part timer so I would definitely have enough time to care for other pets in my hands! I also always try to find a way to work my schedule as best as I can. I don't have a fenced yard but I always put their leashes on and walk them out to use bathrooms or small walks around the yard or sidewalks. I keep watch on them all times and play with their toys or interacting any way to ensure they're having fun great times with me!
About: I can make the dog behave without forcing them and I'm going at dog I can take care them and dog loves me to I love dog They fit well my schedule Its not bad I work on morning after at noon I got nothing do to I'm free so thats good I can take them for a walk I play with them I make sure they eat and drink water my place it's good bc we have more space

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and dog mom to a big Goldendoodle named Miller 🐾 so I’m very comfortable handling larger, energetic dogs as well as more laid-back ones. I’m used to daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, and all the little things that keep dogs happy and comfortable. I’m very patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away 🤍 Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for! I recently dropped my hours at my current job to spend more time with my dog and hopefully help other pets out as well :) I am willing to adapt to all needs to make other pets feel comfortable and happy in their home.

About: They say to do what you love and make a career out of it. I’m just grateful my career gets to be with dogs. I currently work at a doggy daycare/boarding facility in the area, so I am certified with dog and cat behaviors and have seen the ups and downs of our fur babies, and I am still standing here happy to tell you all about their stay/session. I have also grown up with working farm dogs and have gone on to own a Great Pyrenees who isn’t quite a working dog but sure does “work” like one. Thank you for reading through my short history and I am super excited to update this with my accomplishments to come! Pet care for me starts at dawn lol My pups come for cuddles and a potty break first sight of my eyes opening. Most of the time this does align with my work schedule in the 6 am timeframe. I do work part time and in those morning shifts end roughly at 12-3 however my partner is typically home before me to let the pups outside. While I personally do not have a yard, my family does own large pasture fields and hills that we will typically walk daily. These colder seasons do affect how often we go out due to the snow and unplowed hills. However in that safe weather we make it a main priority to keep active with our pups to maintain a healthy and long life for them. Safety is priority number one. Thankfully my family is pretty much set up for success here. We are knowledgeable for food, behavior, and play safety with dogs and cats. Signs and symptoms of common issues with dogs and cats, based off personal experiences, and possible fears of what ifs, urinary cat blockages and bloat, or bloody stools. And while I understand dog body language and know how to avoid those tense situations dogs can create, I am incredibly quick to say when we are going to the emergency vet, gosh forbid.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I'm currently working a full time job, however I still have plenty of time to watch your fur babies!! If anything changes I will let you all know ASAP!! I have two very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if needed, or I can separate my dogs from your dogs if needed. I also have toys for them to play with so they won't get bored.
About: I've always had dogs in my life. At every stage of my life I've been a dog lover. My current dog was a foster fail and i love to host other pups for a day or a few nights. I currently have a very flexible schedule. I will be available most days whenever needed. I can make arrangements if there is a schedule conflict. I have a fenced in yard. We would go on daily walks in the neighborhood or to the dog park. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and we treat our dogs like family.
About: Hello, my name is Taryn. I’ve had plenty of experience taking care of dogs as I have had dogs my whole life. Since middle school, I have been pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Not only have I had pet sitting experience with dogs, I have taken care of other animals as well. Those animals range from cats, bunnies, fish, and even chickens ! I will be able to provide you and your pets with the services you need! I just graduated from UW-Stout and am currently living in Eau Claire. I work at my main job on weekdays (in Menomonie). My hours vary, but they are usually only 7 hour shifts or less. I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays unless I already have another gig booked. I am able to provide your pet with whatever service they need, ranging from making sure they have enough food and water to taking them on walks and providing them with entertainment! I am available for dog walking and drop-ins before 5pm on Mondays, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and after 5pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. As for house-sitting, I am available most days as long as your pet is okay with being alone for a few hours! I attend in-person classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, but would have an hour or two to come back to the house to check in! I currently do not offer doggy day care in my own home, but I will be able to keep your dogs company at their respective homes. I can walk them, feed them, play with them, keep them company, and more!
About: I've had a lot of dogs in my life since I was very little that I have helped watch or care for. I help watch my relatives dogs when they are out on vacation or just gone for a few days. They've always relied on me to help them out and of course I did! I was always willing to take their dogs to care for if others they asked first couldn't do so. I've bathe and fed their pets as if they were just like mine to love and care for while in my hands! I'm a part timer so I would definitely have enough time to care for other pets in my hands! I also always try to find a way to work my schedule as best as I can. I don't have a fenced yard but I always put their leashes on and walk them out to use bathrooms or small walks around the yard or sidewalks. I keep watch on them all times and play with their toys or interacting any way to ensure they're having fun great times with me!
About: As an experienced pet sitter, I am dedicated to providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. From feeding, walking, and playtime to administering medications and maintaining routines, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are receiving attentive, responsible, and personalized care in a stress-free environment I work Monday- Thursday so that allows me to have plenty of time at home with animals on the weekends to give them the time and attention they need. I have a very nice neighborhood with walking paths to make sure animals are getting the exercise and time they need to play around outside.

About: Hi there! I’m Destiny & have owned an array of furry friends over the years. I have never NOT had a pup and have owned many different breeds. Currently I own cattle dogs- an Aussie named Marley and Heeler/Collie mix named Sadie. They are 4, I trained them myself & they are extremely well behaved and socialized. I offer boarding, day care, dog walking, and can bathe your pup before returning them home to you. I can also pick up and drop off when needed. I can also house sit and pup sit if that is your need/comfortability as well. I am up for & encourage meet & greets before bookings if you would like to meet myself, the pups and/or see the house and our setup before hand! I work during the normal school year as a nursing instructor. I am off during the summer and am home FULL TIME to dedicate ALL of my time & attention to the fur babies! I promise your baby will be tuckered out, loved on and well fed (to your instructions of course!) Boarding at my home: safety is my top priority with animal to animal interaction and human to animal interaction. If pups need more alone time/privacy, they can be housed separately from my dogs at all times as we have multiple access points from our home to our fenced in yard and gate sectioning in our house. I do walks daily with them and am outside with them as well for the majority of the day. Our fenced in yard has a dog pool and I have BUCKETS of toys for them to play with! If your pup leans toward the spicier side & is more protective when it comes to their toys, food, or water please let me know and separation accommodations can be made, no problem. All breeds are different and each pup is different. I can also give medications topically, orally, injections etc. I can provide hourly updates through text, video call, phone calls, whatever you would like! At minimum I send a daily update. In your home: as a nurse, safety is always my top priority. I am also extremely clean and organized. I can maintain your daily routine with your pup so they don’t miss much while you are away. Again, meet and greets I encourage so you and especially your pup are comfortable meeting me and being in your home. I’ll be their make-shift auntie while you are away! Whatever update/care you want them to have, you got it- even FaceTime dates so you don’t have to miss them much.
“Our pup is turning 3 in June and we had never left her with anyone. We found Kessia and felt an instant connection. She confidently, but gently assured our pup and us that there was nothing to worry about, and her two pups instantly welcomed ours in playful banter. We have no concerns in leaving our pup with Kessia.”
“Jacob took the best care of our golden retriever, Nala, while we were gone for 8 days for our destination wedding! She loved playing in his fenced in backyard (which we saw in pictures he sent us). It was so nice leaving her knowing that Jacob works from home and would give her all of the attention outside of his working day (although I’m sure Nala tried to distract him during work too LOL). Couldn’t recommend anyone better to take care of your loved pet!!”
“Madeline was great at communicating and keeping me updated about Ponyo. She sent lots of photos and videos. It looks like Ponyo had a great time! I’m already scheduling my next sitting sesh with Madeline again.”
“Nahla was in great hands with Amanda and her family! She received very attentive care and Amanda kept us up to date with messages and photos. Thank you for the wonderful care!”
“Kristy was amazing with my 1 year old Border Collie! He can be a handful but she sent me tons of pictures of him having fun all weekend! I trust her completely and know he was in good hands. He loved the backyard and playing frisbee with her!”
“I always leave my fur baby with Carissa and notice she is always happy when leaving her! She is great at sharing picture of Freida and makes me feel assured she is in great hands. Accommodating and great social interactions. Will continue to book with her and have even driven 3 hours before only because I trust her so much. Thank you again Carissa!”
“We had a great experience with an overnight stay at Tyler & Caitlin's for our boy, Russell! Everything went smoothly from communicating about the stay, dropping him off, receiving updates throughout the weekend, to picking him up Sunday evening. Russell enjoyed playing with their dog and a couple others they were boarding at the time. It was obvious that Tyler and Caitlin love dogs and have lots of experience with them. We would not hesitate to book a stay with them again! :)”
“Amy and Brendan were amazing! They were very flexible and able to take Ponyo on short notice, which was such a lifesaver. Communication was great throughout—they sent updates and photos so I always knew how she was doing. Ponyo got plenty of outdoor time and came home happy (and exhausted!) after all the fun she had. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”
“Tiffany was so amazing and sweet with my Furr baby ! She was super flexible with pick up and drop off and even sent me pictures while he stayed with her! Lives in a great area and overall a super amazing person !! This is where you want your pet staying if you are ever traveling !!”
“Chris was amazing with our golden Wally— He made the process super easy and his confidence and ease with larger/active dogs was super helpful. He sent pictures and videos during his stay, and I could tell Wally loved all the outside time and exercise! Hope Chris is available next time!”
“Hadyn was beyond incredible. Our sweet dog who is normally full of anxiety had none with her. She was fantastic in sending photos and videos with her updates. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. A+++”
“Rebecca took excellent care of Aurora and sent daily updates of the fun and love Aurora was getting. Anyone who uses her services will be highly satisfied. I would definitely rebook in the futures”
“Savana was great with my 7 month old Beagle for the weekend! She was willing to meet beforehand for a meet & greet, & accommodated my requests very well. I heard Margo & her dog had a lot of fun together. She also sent photos & videos throughout the stay. Would highly recommend Savana!”
About: I grew up showing my family dogs in 4-H shows and now have my own golden retriever at home. Looking to love on some more pets! Teacher school year mode is in full swing so I am available during weekdays outside of 8-4 and weekends. Willing to set up a regular schedule with your pet! I have 75 pound dog of my own that I can keep ahold of walking. I’ve managed many pets of all sizes over the last three years on Rover with varying levels of need.
