“Chelsea was so great! She really calmed my nerves as I boarded my Murphy for the first time! Would 100% recommend! Thank you Chelsea for taking care of our girl when we were away!”
“Frank and Julie are the best! They are very responsive and give great updates with pictures and videos. They have a nice big fenced in area where our pup loves to run around. It’s hard for us to leave our pup, but we know she is in good hands with Frank and Julie. Highly recommend!”
“Lisa and her family take Blue in like one of their own. Blue is always very excited to run in and greet everyone when we arrive. The pics Lisa sends always show a very contented pup during her stay”
“Kiana was fantastic and very accommodating! My baby loved having her as a sitter and had a blast spending the night and having a play date with another doggie the next morning. Overall great experience for myself and my dog!”
“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!”
“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.”
“My Sheltie,Cody, absolutely loves when he gets to stay at Gina’s house. He goes on walks with her and has lots of fun and friends to hang out with. I can leave leave him with her and know he’s in the best care. Hands down…without a doubt…Gina is my go-to dog sitter. If I can’t get Gina I don’t go on vacation, simple as that 💙💜💙”
“Bobbi was absolutely amazing with Franklin! She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she truly loves dogs and treated him like one of her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“We left Casey in the care of Susan and Mark while we went on a family vacation. He was so happy to stay with them and obviously well cared for! We hate to leave our puppy, ever, but have such peace of mind knowing he is with Susan and Mark where he is receiving all the pets, treats, walks and snuggles he could need. Thank you both ❤️”
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! Her and her family took amazing care of Monty while we were away — sending regular updates, photos, and making sure he got plenty of love, walks, and playtime. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. I’d definitely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Bobbie and Clark did a lovely job taking care of my dog, Lucky, when I was out of town. Great updates, and I really appreciated their tailoring care to his personality with lots of walks. Thank you so much!”
“Robin is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! She cared for our Golden Retriever, Winston, for four days and kept me updated with plenty of photos, videos, and thoughtful messages throughout his stay. Winston is only a year old and still has plenty of puppy energy, so I especially appreciated all the walks, playtime, and engagement she provided. She was patient when he got a little testy and took her time introducing him to the other pups in her home so he could settle in comfortably. I also loved seeing her reinforce training in the videos she sent. It was clear she was putting real time and care into him, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her hands. We will absolutely book with Robin again, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“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.”
About: I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, birds, turtles, lizards, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I have experience with temperamental or reactive animals as well. Animals are my passion and both friends and family know they can rely on me to provide exceptional care, love and respect to their fur babies while they are away. No animal is too big or too small! I am currently unemployed and in the job searching process so I have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether you need dog walking services or in-home care I can make it work for your needs! I have a beagle/boxer mix who gets daily walks and has a big fenced in yard to enjoy at our home. I also have two cats, a classic brown tabby and a petite tuxedo girly. We are unique as we bring all of our animals camping so they get to experience the outdoors with us! My animals are treated like my children and part of the family which is exactly how I would treat yours. I honestly prefer animals over humans.
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 8, it started with a cat and grew to dogs and snakes and more, working with animals is my dream job. I work factory Monday through Friday but Friday night into Sunday I am available for pet care. I have 2 cats and a dog at my own home, but I am more than happy to dog sit at others homes. I make sure my cats litter boxes are kept clean, I keep their food bowls filled, and I keep their water filled. I walk my dog a lot and I take her out every couple hours to use the bathroom.

“Debbie took the time to let Mick get used to her. She truly cares about the pets she cares for. If I ever need services in the future, I will definitely be asking for her. I'm sure Mick will miss her.”
“I was able to completely enjoy my trip because Lisa took such good care of my senior cat, VanGogh. The pictures and updates she sent showed me how well things were going and my apartment was cleaner than when I left. I highly recommend Lisa and am already planning the next visits. Thank you, Lisa!!”
“Ella was amazing watching our kitties while we were gone! She had great communication and sent us multiple pictures everyday to check in! She is very kind and even got our very shy kitty to open up to her! We will absolutely book with her again and I will recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter!”
About: Nurturing Animal Expert + Two Mini Assistants Ready to Love Your Pet. We have 3 cats already and we just love meeting new fur babies. My children are typically with me during drop ins but rest assured they understand that cats need space and to not crowd or overwhelm them
“My two cats were well cared for by Tiffani. The photos she sent each day make me believe they were comfortable with her being there. I came home to find them fed and watered, and having been cleaned up after.”
About: I’ve had contact with all kinds of different cats, dogs, birds, you name it! Animals are truly my passion and making sure that they feel loved and given the best life is all I want to do… I have experience with rescue animals as well as trauma animals with a lot of training and experience with patients and gaining trust.
“Emily was outstanding! She completed several early morning drop-ins for our cats over the holiday period with no problem. We had somewhat specific instructions and Emily was able to complete everything with ease. Through the photos and updates Emily provided daily, it was evident our two cats were very comfortable with Emily and enjoyed her company. When the need arises for future drop-ins, we will definitely book with Emily again!!”
“Sarah did a phenomenal job checking on our cats. While we were on vacation our home experienced severe weather (totally unexpected) and lost power. Normally, I would have been an anxious mess. But, Sarah was great and her updates made me feel comfortable......so we enjoyed our family vacation! Thank you Sarah!”
About: I am eager to learn your dog and build a long lasting relationship! I enjoy training in a fun manner, and having dog parties! I do foster care with a local rescue, which has given me experience in so many different types of dogs, and different histories of where they came from. Full success in every dog that has come into my care. I do work full time during the day, Monday thru Friday. I am open to boarding during that time if we see fit. My weekends are wide open for all the dog love needed! I have a fenced in yard, but still usually attend to the dogs anyway, unless it’s too cold, I’ll watch from the door! I have a very dog friendly dog myself that has become accustomed to meeting new dogs and respecting their boundaries.
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life and have volunteered at a shelter, I adore dogs and cats alike. Family has referred to me in the past as a “dog whisperer” and I can promise your pets will be my number one responsibility. I am a full time remote student so I am flexible in my schedule and can be mobile if needed, I have my own transportation and love hanging out at dog parks as much as your dog does. I am a full time student and have lecture times that do change by the semester, but as I am a remote student I can log in anywhere so scheduling can be extremely flexible, your pet will be my number one priority. I can easily follow a schedule or a routine for your fur baby, can play or take for walks or play fetch, and will provide as much attention as is required to keep you fuzz ball happy and thriving so you don’t have to worry!
About: I've worked at a veterinary clinic for the last 4&1/2 years. I love working with animals and getting to know their personalities. Many friends, family members, and even some clients from the clinic I work at have relied on me to care for their pets (both cats and dogs). I've cared for young pets, seniors, and all in between. I am comfortable giving medications to pets who require them.
About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets since I was 12 which includes staying overnight at their homes when they are gone for weeks. I do long and short care sitting for pets. I love to spend time with pets and making sure they get the care they deserve. I am currently not working right now but will have a part time job soon. I will talk with the owners and work out a good schedule that will work best for all. Growing up we have used an invisible fence and radio collars to keep our dogs in our yard. We made sure to check in on them periodically while they were outside. While I'm taking care of my friends pets, I would play inside and outside with them, go on walks with them, and make sure they get the best care.

“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!”
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Don for doggy daycare. He sends photo and video updates throughout the day and takes time to ensure my dog is having fun at him home! There is lots of space for him to run and play outside. Don is the best when it comes to communicating and caring for my pup.”
“Preslie and her family were amazing and took such good care of our Ruby! They were so warm and welcoming, attentive and communicative. Our puppy came home happy and exhausted from all the fun playing with Kaiya. Highly recommend”
About: I provide reliable, attentive care for dogs at every stage of life—from active adult dogs to seniors (up to 15+ years old). Every dog is different, so I tailor each visit to match their energy level, personality, and needs. For active dogs, I offer engaging, high-energy walks designed to burn off energy, reduce stress, and keep them mentally stimulated. I’m comfortable handling strong or high-energy dogs and making sure they get the exercise they need. For senior dogs, I take a calm and patient approach—focusing on comfort, slower-paced walks, and close attention to mobility and well-being. I understand how important it is to move at their pace while still keeping them happy and engaged. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and trust. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know your dog is in good hands. As a stay-at-home mom with a 3-year-old, I’m home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, consistent walks, and plenty of attention for your dog. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods—I’m available for regular outdoor time, play, and check-ins throughout the day. Whether your dog needs multiple walks, structured routines, or just extra companionship, I’m able to accommodate their needs. My daily routine is active and consistent, making it a great fit for dogs who benefit from frequent movement, supervision, and a reliable environment. Your dog will be cared for in a safe, loving home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and consistent care. We’re a very affectionate household—your dog can expect lots of pets, cuddles, and companionship from both me and my toddler (always supervised). I also have an older, friendly dog who enjoys meeting new friends and playing, but I can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone is comfortable. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine closely and can crate if requested. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority.

I love all animals and am now teaching my 2 young girls to love and nurture all creatures 🥰 we love dogs and cats and are happy to help u with all your pet care needs ☺️ I currently WFH in the evenings and me and 2 little ones love being out and about during the day, we would love to stop in and feed or walk your pets or have your pup come stay for the day to get lots of pets, love , and cuddles I live near menominee park in a lovely quiet neighborhood, I have a lead for outside and we have plenty of space inside. I do have 3 cats, when dogs are in our home they stay upstairs and I make sure they and the dog have the space they need.
“My dogs had an amazing day! I got updates and pictures throughout the day! They got to go for a walk! My youngest dog was sleeping less than 5 minutes into our drive home. I would give 10 stars if I could!!”
About: Hello! My name is Sadie. I’m a board certified behavior analyst who works with children on the Autism Spectrum. I have a soft spot in my heart for all animals- I was that child that stepped over ants to avoid squishing them. I grew up with a Springer Spaniel, cats, and a rabbit (: I currently have 3 cats, Nimi, Gizmo, Figarro, and a dog named Perci. Additionally, I have experience caring for ferrets, goats, sheep, and fish. I’ll treat your animals as my own, and show them endless love and care. I’m super excited to meet you and your animals! I currently work full time M-F, but do make my own schedule. I see a lot of my clients either before or after work. I also have weekends off! Meet and greets are important to me for boarding to ensure it’s a good fit for your dog. However, I understand if it is not feasible. I have a dog and 3 cats who are free to roam the house and are allowed on furniture. My dog sleeps with me so yours is more than welcome to join the snuggle party! I also have a daughter (3 years old) who loves her animals, so your fur baby will get lots of love from all of us.
About: Hi I'm Matt. I'm a big animal lover, and have been in the animal field for 15yrs working with all different types of wildlife. Have experience in giving vaccines(IM or SQ), oral meds, and basic care. I have since moved onto a new adventure in lawncare. I have been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with a German Shepherd, a purebred Samoyed, and a tabby cat. Currently, I have 2 beagle-shepherd mixes, Hunter and Holmes, who are 2 of the sweetest boys you will meet. We are often outdoors taking our daily walk, hiking local state parks, camping, or just working in the yard. I have always loved being around animals, especially dogs, and find that having them brings such happiness to life. The boys and I are together daily. I currently work typically Mondays thru Fridays sometimes varied or longer hours. However, we always make time to go for a walk daily, and on the weekends typically are out exploring. Hunter gets meds twice a day in a pill supplement as well as I trim their nails and baths occasionally. I currently rent a duplex that has a fenced backyard, and also have a spare bedroom and wire kennel if needed. Typically my dogs free roam during the day, and are good to be alone overnight or up to 10hrs which can allow me to spend time with your furry friend.
“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.”
About: I have experience caring for animals of all kinds, though I can currently only offer in-my-home care to dogs. I have always had family pets growing up. I got my own dog when I was in high school. I currently own 2 well-mannered dogs, a hunting labrador and a scent detection pit-mix. I have more than 2 years of professional gun dog training experience, and have trained over 50 puppies/dogs. I currently work from home, so I will be able to accommodate any schedule your pet may need. My own dogs recieve 2 feedings per day (5am and 5pm). We often take a morning walk (typically no less than 1-2 miles, less if I am walking a young puppy or senior dog with mobility issues). Also evening walks if weather is appropriate. I do not allow my dogs to do strenuous activity or rough play right after a meal. The yard is not fenced, so dogs will be on leash or long-line and fully supervised when outside the home. For off-lead outdoor fun we will take trips to the local dog park (not a very heavily trafficed dog park, usually empty). I have experience providing oral and subcutaneous medication to pets, should your pet need medication while in my care.
“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!”
About: I'm a dog person through and through! I've only ever owned dogs my whole life, and I'd never have it any other way. Training them, playing with them, caring for them, it all fills my heart with so much joy. To me, dogs are one of life's greatest gifts, a true blessing from God. They love without conditions and make every day a little brighter. I wouldn't trade a single wagging tail or muddy paw print for anything. I work from home, so your pups will never be left alone for long. While I'm in my office, they'll have Stryda as a built-in playmate, and together the pack keeps each other happy, busy, and engaged throughout the day. Between their playtime and my breaks to check in, cuddle, and toss a ball around, your dogs will get plenty of love and attention, just like my own. I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I’m great with communication and more than glad to send you daily updates on how your pup(s) doing with me! Your pup will feel right at home with me! I have a fenced yard and a loving Australian Shepherd named Stryda, who’s sweet and playful with all dogs. Your dog will always have fresh water, plenty of playtime, and a comfy, safe space to relax. I’ll keep them active, well cared for, and showered with attention throughout the day. Whether it’s a good play session, a cozy nap, or just some cuddles, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own, and I’m always happy to keep you updated however you’d like.

“Debbie was wonderfully caring for our dog Finley. Paying extra attention that he had a good walk and ate his dinner. She communicated every step of the way and made us feel so comfortable leaving our little guy behind.”
About: I absolutely love dogs of every size and breed. I’ve had both black lab, mini golden retrievers, chihuahuas, and beagles. At most i’ve taken care of three dogs at once all with medical needs. I’m working full time, but have a hybrid position so I can work from home to care and take dogs out for walks. I don’t work on the weekends and Fridays after 1pm as well. I live in an apartment but we have a nice big grass area with a man made pond in the center which gives dogs lots of area to run around and play in and around.
About: I grew up caring for the pets of family members and friends, including feeding, walking, supervising, and providing attentive care while their owners were away. I am currently attending college and have a flexible class schedule, with only two classes per day. This allows me to provide your pets with regular care, including letting them outside before, after, or between my classes. I prioritize your pet’s safety by keeping walks within your neighborhood and only allowing them to play off-leash in a secure, fenced-in backyard when available.
“Jade was amazing! We were so nervous for both of our babies to be left alone for a week but Jade made this go by so much smoother. I could tell that my babies fell in love with her and were comfortable being around her. Thank you so so much Jade!!”
About: “God speaks to the creatures through the creatures.” -Dr. Chase. “All you need is love.” -John Lennon. Plenty of love I have to give, but I also have the experience of 35 years as a science teacher. I’m well-versed in how animals like dogs and cats talk to us through their gestures. Dogs evolved with humans, and I understand that relationship and how dogs meet our emotional needs. Please read my first four reviews which I received from pet owners that I served even before signing up with Rover. The pet owner decides when treats are allowed, if table scraps are allowed, and how much food to give. The dog decides when it wants to go potty. 😉 Just in case, I usually take the dog out before it decides and always before any discomfort. Snuggles welcome. 🐾🥰😻 When serving you and your pet, I like to send pictures. We can also use FaceTime or Zoom to check in. 🐶🤩 At age 61, I’ve been a retired teacher for 3 years, and my activity level allows me to run or play with your beloved dog. In your home, I follow instructions and do the routine for your beloved just like you would. However, if I’m allowed to give more snuggles, or more walks, or more training than you normally have time for, I’m at your service.
About: Hi! I’m Sasha, a lifelong animal lover with hands on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all personalities. At home, I have two tortie Siamese cats and a senior Yorkshire Terrier who is both blind and diabetic. Caring for her has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of sticking to a routine. I administer insulin injections twice a day, monitor her closely, and make sure she always feels safe and comfortable. I know every pet is different. Some want endless playtime, while others need a calm, reassuring presence and someone who respects their boundaries. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra care, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m selfemployed, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week! That flexibility allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits while providing reliable, consistent care based on your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. Caring for my own senior dog has taught me how important consistency, patience, and close observation are. I administer insulin injections twice a day, help her safely navigate the house because she’s blind, and pay close attention to any changes in her behavior or health. When caring for your pets, I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home’s routines, and make sure your pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing they’re doing well.

About: I’ve grown up raising 2 toy poodles from my childhood. Now as an adult I adopted my first dog of my own, Mabel, who is an 5yr old lab! I also have horses, so have been around all sorts of animals my whole life. Love any and all sizes and breeds of pups! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible and can do last minute/short notice requests no problem! If you need me to spend a little more time with your pet, I can easily bring my work computer with me. I would treat your home as my own. Follow any/all rules you may have as well as rules for your pet. My dog is crate trained when away so I am comfortable having anything to do around crating.

I can be available for early morning walks, afternoon potty breaks, or weekend runs around the block! Pets are a huge priority in my life and I will make your pet one of my biggest priorities. I currently have three rescue dogs and one rescue cat. I understand that every pet is different in their comfort level with humans. I will work with your pet, at their comfort level, to ensure we create a positive and safe relationship. If possible, I'd be happy to set up play dates with other dogs as well! Leashes and harnesses are what I use for my pets, but I'm open to walking your pet how they walk best.
About: My love and compassion for animals is what sets me apart from other dog sitters. From little on I have always had a pet to now having two very spoiled dogs of my own.

Having two dogs of my own I know how important it is for them to exercise, whether it be going to the dog park, a walk in the neighborhood or playing in the backyard I will make sure your pets needs are met! As a dedicated dog sitter, I go above and beyond to provide personalized care tailored to your dog’s unique needs and personality. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and my commitment to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for your furry friend. I prioritize open communication with pet owners, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your dog is in great hands. Whether it’s extra cuddles, a favorite toy, or a specific routine, I ensure your pet feels right at home, even when you’re away. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities!
About: I have been a vet tech in the past and have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals so much! I own my own housekeeping, dog walking, house sitting, and pet sitting business. This is all I do besides raising my own kids! I have plenty of time! I will care for your pets in your home only as I live in an apartment that does not allow visiting pets unfortunately due to restrictions.

About: I am eager to learn your dog and build a long lasting relationship! I enjoy training in a fun manner, and having dog parties! I do foster care with a local rescue, which has given me experience in so many different types of dogs, and different histories of where they came from. Full success in every dog that has come into my care. I do work full time during the day, Monday thru Friday. I am open to boarding during that time if we see fit.

About: I’m an INSURED Pet Service Provider. I’ve cared for dogs from Small - Large since 2018. I have 2 Doggos of my own. My Female German Shepherd Mix I’ve personally trained since a Puppy (3 months). She is now 5 Years Old, and knows quite a bit, with a wonderful recall/off-switch! My other dog I recently obtained, is a Working Line Male GSD and has foundation in bitework and will be used as a Protection Dog. If there’s anything specific you’d like me to work on (depending on what it is, it may require additional pay), I can do that! I’ve watched family members dogs (and other pets) growing up when needed, and they’ve received the attention and exercise they need by playing, walking, training, etc! I can easily be found via FB at Johnson’s Mystic Pawz Retreat!!! So, be sure to check me out or to go through with booking as I do send forms out to all potential clients via FB. I do charge from day of drop off THROUGH day of pick up: Example: January 1st - 4th = 4 Day (not 3) Calculation. Meds are an additional $10/day (NO ADDITIONAL PAY REQUIRED IF MORE THAN ONE PET FROM THE SAME HOUSEHOLD REQUIRES MEDS) Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, as I am constantly caring for my own dog. Every day involves training, exercise, and enrichment to ensure both mental and physical stimulation. Given my experience with high-energy breeds like my Siberian Husky/German Shepherd Mix, I understand the importance of structured exercise and engagement. In addition to my own dogs, I also help a friend train, socialize, and work one-on-one with puppies from her litters. This hands-on experience with various temperaments and developmental stages further strengthens my ability to provide proper care, enrichment, and training reinforcement for pets in my care. Fun fact: My dog and I once walked 90 miles in a month for a cause! In both my home and my client’s home, I prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I ensure they have access to fresh water, appropriate food, and a clean, comfortable space to rest. Dogs receive regular potty breaks, exercise, and mental enrichment suited to their energy levels and needs. For dog walking, I use secure, well-fitted leashes(if not provided), and I always remain aware of my surroundings to keep walks safe and enjoyable. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, such as preferred walking routes, training cues, and handling preferences. For dog sitting, I maintain the pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, playtime, and any necessary medications or special care requirements. I provide companionship, supervision, and a calm environment to minimize stress and ensure they feel comfortable while their owner is away. Communication is key—I keep owners updated with messages, pictures, and any necessary reports on their pet’s well-being. My goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and positive experience for both pets and their owners.

“Chelsea was so great! She really calmed my nerves as I boarded my Murphy for the first time! Would 100% recommend! Thank you Chelsea for taking care of our girl when we were away!”
“Frank and Julie are the best! They are very responsive and give great updates with pictures and videos. They have a nice big fenced in area where our pup loves to run around. It’s hard for us to leave our pup, but we know she is in good hands with Frank and Julie. Highly recommend!”
“Lisa and her family take Blue in like one of their own. Blue is always very excited to run in and greet everyone when we arrive. The pics Lisa sends always show a very contented pup during her stay”
“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!”
“My Sheltie,Cody, absolutely loves when he gets to stay at Gina’s house. He goes on walks with her and has lots of fun and friends to hang out with. I can leave leave him with her and know he’s in the best care. Hands down…without a doubt…Gina is my go-to dog sitter. If I can’t get Gina I don’t go on vacation, simple as that 💙💜💙”
“Bobbi was absolutely amazing with Franklin! She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she truly loves dogs and treated him like one of her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Robin is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! She cared for our Golden Retriever, Winston, for four days and kept me updated with plenty of photos, videos, and thoughtful messages throughout his stay. Winston is only a year old and still has plenty of puppy energy, so I especially appreciated all the walks, playtime, and engagement she provided. She was patient when he got a little testy and took her time introducing him to the other pups in her home so he could settle in comfortably. I also loved seeing her reinforce training in the videos she sent. It was clear she was putting real time and care into him, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her hands. We will absolutely book with Robin again, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“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.”
About: I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, birds, turtles, lizards, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I have experience with temperamental or reactive animals as well. Animals are my passion and both friends and family know they can rely on me to provide exceptional care, love and respect to their fur babies while they are away. No animal is too big or too small! I am currently unemployed and in the job searching process so I have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether you need dog walking services or in-home care I can make it work for your needs! I have a beagle/boxer mix who gets daily walks and has a big fenced in yard to enjoy at our home. I also have two cats, a classic brown tabby and a petite tuxedo girly. We are unique as we bring all of our animals camping so they get to experience the outdoors with us! My animals are treated like my children and part of the family which is exactly how I would treat yours. I honestly prefer animals over humans.
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 8, it started with a cat and grew to dogs and snakes and more, working with animals is my dream job. I work factory Monday through Friday but Friday night into Sunday I am available for pet care. I have 2 cats and a dog at my own home, but I am more than happy to dog sit at others homes. I make sure my cats litter boxes are kept clean, I keep their food bowls filled, and I keep their water filled. I walk my dog a lot and I take her out every couple hours to use the bathroom.
“We had a wonderful experience! Ellie was so well cared for, and the updates and photos gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was happy and relaxed when we got home, and it was clear she was treated with love and attention. We would definitely book again and highly recommend them!”
“Lorri welcomed my fur baby Amelia into her home when I dropped her off to spend Oshkosh EAA Adventure. I can tell you it is the first time I have left her with anyone that I walked away with a smile. The photos that I received all week just confirmed that she was having as much fun as I was at the air show!”
“Another amazing time with Dallas and Co. I could tell Blue had another great stay with her and was pretty tuckered out when we got home, Blue looks forward to the next stay and can't wait!”

“We had a great experience with Jill! From the beginning, she was super responsive and easy to communicate with. She took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated with pictures during his stay. She even brought him to our wedding so we could get a picture with him. Jill is so sweet and we will definitely be booking her again!”
“I highly recommend Nikki. She is easy to work with and truly loves dogs! She has a nice big fenced-in backyard where the dogs can run and play. Her dog Nelson is a sweetheart as well. Five Stars for Nikki!”
