“Mary took our dog for our wedding weekend and she was great! Pugsy had a great time with her dog, going on a walk, and going to the dog park! She sent pictures and we did not worry about Pugsy at all! We will definitely book with Mary in the future!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover and care taker as long as I can remember. I grew up in the country and was always finding stray animals that needed nursed back to health. I have a very flexible schedule right now. Can do any time of day, any day of the week. I am extremely active and love playing and walking with animals. I will follow instructions to a tee no matter how specific. There will never be judgment. I will remain extremely cautious and present in my interactions.
“Cleda did an awesome job taking care of my corgi, Texie! Regular walks, and fun playtime with other dog buddies! Regular updates with photos/videos reassured me that he was in great hands! Would definitely recommend!”


“Elmer absolutely loved staying with Manjusha and Midhun. They sent so many wonderful updates and photos, and kept him well entertained. He was only slightly disappointed to be leaving them to come back home with us 😋. I'd definitely book with them again! Easy to communicate with and flexible with scheduling.”

“Emily was great with our big, young and very energetic dog! She has a great fenced in yard and our dog had a blast! He was very tired when he got home! We would definitely use her again!”

About: I recently lost my own dog, Sonora, that I had for 16 years. I’m not ready for a new one of my own, but I have a large space and plenty of free time, so I want to love your dogs! Whatever you need me to do, I’ll be happy to do it. I want your dog to feel as much love as they do at home. I work 2-3 days per week and can work from home if I want to. If I’m home I can let your dog out as much as needed. If I do go to the office, it would likely be about 6 hours max. When I’m not working, we can walk and play all day! I have a fenced yard with plenty of space to run, dog toys and treats, water and food bowls. The neighborhood is great for walking on leash. We also have a small collapsible dog pool.
“Eunice was by far the best sitter we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! She was very attentive to my dog’s needs and gave him loads of attention. She took him on a bunch of walks which I really appreciated since he’s such a high energy dog. She provided a lot of updates and photos, usually ranging around every 4 hours or so. You could tell he was having the time of his life! I could rest easy knowing my dog was in such great hands. Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future when we’re in need of a dog sitter!”


“Heather and family were great to watch our sweet boy while we were gone! She was easy to communicate with before and during the stay and sent wonderful photos while we were gone. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to others as well!”

“Gina is great! We did a meet and greet first so her and my dogs could get acquainted, and to make sure it would be safe for all. She sent me pics of my boys while I was away and I really appreciated that! She treated my boys like her own fur babies! I highly recommend Gina! 5 stars for sure!”
“Ben watched our dog, George, while we were out of town for a few days. He send plenty of updates and pictures throughout the stay. George had fun with Ben’s dogs. We came back to a very happy and tired dog. Thanks again!”

“Caroline was an amazing host to my golden retriever, Lottie. Lottie was immediately excited to hang out with her, was sad to come home, and looked delighted in all of the photos in between. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby!!”

About: I am a proud dog owner/parent who loves spending time with my two Frenchies. I love to have doggy friends come over and spend quality time playing, snuggling, and relaxing. I am currently doing consulting work from home in a part time basis and have a very flexible schedule. I can do doggy daycare during the week as well as some weekends. The house have a fenced backyard that is very safe for our dogs and our house is doggy proof. I have crates too if that is your preference, otherwise your pup will be inside the house with us.

“Lorelei was amazing! Nice, large backyard to run and play and I loved that other dogs were there for my dog to play and socialize with. I received pictures and a video of her stay. She answered all my questions and made me feel totally at ease with leaving my pup there. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again!”


About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up, I cared for rabbits, hamsters, mice, and a pet rat. Today I share my home with my 13 year old cat, Meeko, and my housemate’s friendly 12 year old dog. I recently said goodbye to my senior cat after 16 wonderful years together. During the last few years of his life, I administered medication multiple times a day and became experienced in caring for an aging pet with extra medical needs. That experience strengthened my patience, attention to detail, and understanding that every pet deserves individualized, compassionate care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own pets. I work full-time during the week 8:30-4:30, so I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks before and after work (6-7:30 AM, and after 4:30 pm M-F), as well as most weekends and holidays. I also offer limited weekend boarding for one dog at a time so I can provide each guest with plenty of individual attention and care. My goal is to be flexible while making sure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know pets thrive on routine, so I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to medications, favorite toys, and bedtime routines. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of affection. I understand that having a stranger in the house can be stressful for both pets and owners, so I’ll always treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. For boarding, I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play. I only accept one boarding dog at a time so I can provide a calm, personalized experience and ensure every pet receives plenty of attention. My home also includes my cat and my housemate’s dog, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable around cats and other dogs. This helps create a calm, safe environment for everyone.

“Our puppy Meta is 6 months old, full of energy, and has never lived with others, or play much with other dogs before. We were looking for someone to take care of Meta for one week. Some sitters have concerns that Meta might not get along well with other dogs. But Pri takes it. We tried one day, Pri took great care of our puppy Meta. And it seems Meta gets along well with her dog Max. Pri sent us cute photos and videos about Meta. We are happy that Pri will take care of Meta for one week next month when we are away.”

“Evelyn is such a sweet lady and took wonderful care of my dog. My dog had a wonderful time at her house and became good friends with her dog, Tucker. She sent me picture updates daily which I very much appreciated! Will definitely request her to be sitter next time we go out of town.”

“Alyssa was excellent with our pup, Maggie! I can't recommend her enough. She was flexible with pick up and drop off times, which was very helpful with our chaotic schedule. She sent several timely photos and updates, which was very reassuring especially when we missed her on our trip. Definitely would love to book again!”

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
