“We have used Chelsea many times and we really like her she is so good with Dexter he needs medication and she is very good with that as well. When we leave Dexter will her we have no worries.”
“Frank and Julie were great! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. We got plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. Plenty of walks and play time too! Highly recommend.”
“Piper's stay with Lisa was great. Based on the photos and stories Lisa sent daily, I was doubtful that Piper would even want to come home again. Lisa's dog, Rio, was a fun playmate and they ran around her fenced in backyard all day. Lisa sent photos of Piper snuggling with her children during nap time. I have no doubt Piper was well loved and well cared for while we were away and I will definitely use Lisa again!”
“Gina was absolutely great! She really cares about the pets she is sitting. She took our dog chance for the weekend and he went to her brother's farm, ran around and had the best time! He also got to play with other dogs in her area which he loves! She was great with sending pictures and checking in. Highly recommend and would definitely book with Gina again!”
“We had a sudden event come up and Emma was able to watch our lil coco on short notice. Meeting Emma for the first time, she quickly put my anxiety about leaving coco at ease. Our lil coco was happy and had wonderful care while staying with Emma. She sent us daily photos and update on how Coco was doing! We are extremely happy with the care provided for the animals and will definitely bring Coco again.”
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 more than likely 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.
“Bobbie is amazing. This was Sophie’s first overnight and I was so nervous. Bobbie sent pictures and kept me informed on how Sophie was doing. Because Bobbie is so good with dogs Sophie was comfortable and completely at home. I can’t say enough about how good Bobbie is. I will definitely be using Bobbie again for future trips. Thank you again for being so good with my Sophie.”
“Morgan had a wonderful time. She has an autoimmune disorder that causes chronic arthritis. They did a great job of caring for her and understanding her needs. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Karen and Chris were great with our cat! He can be a bit annoying looking for attention but they were patient and he was spoiled and well cared for. Looking forward to booking with them again.”
“Anu and her family are the best!! They are so welcoming and our pup Daisy had such a fun time at their place, excellent communication and received many updates throughout the stay. Would 100% recommend 😊”
“Korri was fantastic!!! Would absolutely contact her again if we needed someone to take care of our dog. We had a wedding out of town and Korri sent so many updates which was amazing to feel like our gal was being taken care of well. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!!!”
“Rachel was amazing! I was a little worried because I had to leave Dakota for so long - a little over a week - and he is still a puppy. But she was fantastic! He was well taken care of and happy.”
About: Hi! My name is Ryaan, and I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. Animals have always been a huge part of my family, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I also worked for several years at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic care, supervising playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Your pet will be treated like family in my care! 🐾 I currently have just a few 1 hour classes a week on just Mondays and Wednesdays and am home for the most part otherwise making me available for your pets. -fenced in yard -home frequently -able to provide long walks and lots of playtime -safe home (mostly pet proofed) -stairs are needed to be taken to get up to the house and down to the backyard
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.
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 did a great job with our JJ. I could tell from the pictures really liked her and appreciated the extra time and attention and so did I! Her communication was great we were able to relax and not worry about him while we were gone. Thanks Debbie you have a gift.”
“We used Lisa for drop in care while camping and she took amazing care of our rabbit and sent tons of photos to ease our minds while gone. She kept his pen nice and tidy and gave him free roam time so he could stretch his legs. We’d definitely use Lisa again and recommend her for anyone looking for a bunny sitter!”
“Kamie was excellent and I can’t recommend her enough. She gave detailed check-ins each time with pictures and was always very responsive. I will be using her in the future for any pet sitting needs.”
“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!”
“Megan is courteous, thorough, and has been amazing to work with. Our cat, Meeko, was comfortable with her from the very beginning. While we were gone, she sent updates and photos with each visit. You could see that Meeko was comfortable having her around. We came home to a tidy house and a happy cat. What more could you ask for?”
“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 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!
“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.”
“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!!”
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
“Myra did a great job dropping in and making sure Zuko got the attention he needs. Zuko had an accident at one point and Myra did her best cleaning and rinsing him off in the downstairs shower, which we very much appreciated. Zuko is a super picky eater and very particular with whom he receives care, but he seems to get along well with Myra based on the photos from their time together. Overall, we’re very pleased with her care and accommodations.”
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.

“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!”
“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!”
“Great experience, Ally did a great job watching Bart. She was very accommodating with us. After meeting both her an Coy we felt very comfortable leaving Bart in her care. We would definitely let her watch him 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.”
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.
“Our rescues feel comfortable going to Bobbie and Clark’s and love to snuggle with the whole family. Thank you for giving them a secure environment away from home!”
“I would highly recommend Frank And Julie as your next Dog Sitters. After being referred to them, when I reached out, I had let Frank know I was having a hard time locating them in the Rover app. He went out of his way to help me get things going. Once we were able to set up a time for an initial meet and greet, due to a really bad storm that was rolling in, they were flexible with changing the time for us. That’s when we got to see the fantastic location (their house and property), where they take care of the dogs. While we were getting to know them, they were getting to know our dogs, and asked lots of great questions to make sure they understood how we approach our pups. In addition to their fenced in yard, they have acres and acres of land and are very happy to take dogs out for walks to let them burn their energy. A couple days later, our dog spent the day with them and everything went really really well, and our dogs were so very tired out when we got them back. We even got lots of pictures while we were gone for the day which we really appreciated. Frankie and Julie really understand what it is to be a pet owner and strive to treat our dogs as their own. Again, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for day-to-day dog sitting, and we are looking forward to using them for an upcoming vacation.”

“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: Hi there! I have had raised dogs and cats since the age of about 12. 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.
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, taking care of them, it all brings me 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’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I’m great with communication and always happy to keep you in the loop. Just give me a quick call or text, and I’d be more than glad to update you on how your dog is doing. 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.
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.
“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: 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: 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.

“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: 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.
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: 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. I have worked with pets from all different sizes and ages. Pet care in my daily schedule is a priorty. 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 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.
“Gigi is terrific! She's warm and friendly, professional, has experience with a variety of dogs, and seems to really love animals. Everything has gone very smoothly and we could not recommend her more!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and fish through both pet sitting and caring for my own animals. I’m patient, dependable, and understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medications, or additional attention. I always follow owners’ instructions closely, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule to make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship they need. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, drop in visits, or evening check ins, I’m committed to providing consistent, reliable care while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I always follow each owner’s instructions closely. I’ll make sure your pet is fed on schedule, has fresh water, gets plenty of exercise and playtime, and receives lots of attention and affection. I’m also happy to administer medications if clear instructions are provided. I keep a clean, safe environment, pay close attention to your pet’s behavior, and can also provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for until you return.

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! My name is Ryaan, and I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. Animals have always been a huge part of my family, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I also worked for several years at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic care, supervising playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Your pet will be treated like family in my care! 🐾 I currently have just a few 1 hour classes a week on just Mondays and Wednesdays and am home for the most part otherwise making me available for your pets. -fenced in yard -home frequently -able to provide long walks and lots of playtime -safe home (mostly pet proofed) -stairs are needed to be taken to get up to the house and down to the backyard

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!

“We have used Chelsea many times and we really like her she is so good with Dexter he needs medication and she is very good with that as well. When we leave Dexter will her we have no worries.”
“Frank and Julie were great! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. We got plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. Plenty of walks and play time too! Highly recommend.”
“Piper's stay with Lisa was great. Based on the photos and stories Lisa sent daily, I was doubtful that Piper would even want to come home again. Lisa's dog, Rio, was a fun playmate and they ran around her fenced in backyard all day. Lisa sent photos of Piper snuggling with her children during nap time. I have no doubt Piper was well loved and well cared for while we were away and I will definitely use Lisa again!”
“Gina was absolutely great! She really cares about the pets she is sitting. She took our dog chance for the weekend and he went to her brother's farm, ran around and had the best time! He also got to play with other dogs in her area which he loves! She was great with sending pictures and checking in. Highly recommend and would definitely book with Gina again!”
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 more than likely 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.
“Lucy loved the stay at Don’s house. He was very accommodating to our energetic pup who loved to run in his fenced back yard. We received photos and updates throughout the stay that showed Lucy was being loved and cared for the same as if she were at home. When I picked Lucy up she was excited to see me but was not anxious to leave lol!! I would highly recommend Don and his adorable dog Billie to anyone looking for a caring, responsible pet sitter. Lucy hopes to go back soon!!”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Mitzi was so well treated. She was walked and made to feel at home while staying there. I highly recommend Caitlin and Samuel. They are very friendly and I plan to keep them in mind for future needs.”
“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.”
“Anu and her family are the best!! They are so welcoming and our pup Daisy had such a fun time at their place, excellent communication and received many updates throughout the stay. Would 100% recommend 😊”
“Korri was fantastic!!! Would absolutely contact her again if we needed someone to take care of our dog. We had a wedding out of town and Korri sent so many updates which was amazing to feel like our gal was being taken care of well. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!!!”
“Kathy did a great job. She came through for me at a moments notice when my boarder had a cancellation. Her dogs did well with my boy. He came home happy and tired which is a good thing.”

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.
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.
“We haven’t boarded our dog in a long time and was a little nervous due to her age and being deaf but Alysa did a great job. She kept us updated throughout the week and our dog didn’t seem all that excited to leave. ?”
