“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brenda was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was great from start to finish, and she sent us pictures of our pups while we were away, which we really appreciated since we missed them so much. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were happy and in good hands. Honestly, they weren’t even overly excited to see us when we got home — which tells me they were very well cared for and totally comfortable with Brenda! Our dogs are pretty rambunctious and full of energy, so I know she had her hands full, and we’re so grateful for the patience and care she showed them. We would 100% book with Brenda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter!”

“Isabel is definitely a 5-star sitter. Sent pictures daily of our dog, followed all directions left for her. She went above and beyond caring for our dog who needed daily medication. Great communication. Sadie was somewhat shy at first but it didn’t take long to warm up to Isabel. Definitely recommend and will rebook her as needed.”

“We absolutely LOVED Rebecca and so did our dog Reba! We’re so happy we decided to have a house sitter instead of the traditional boarding route. We will 100% rebook with Rebecca moving forward.”

“Elizabeth was amazing with my dog while I was traveling for work. She sent daily updates and many pictures. I would definitely use her services again.”

“Katy is so wonderful that I have to leave a second review. We’ve been going through a big transition and Katy continues to meet each of my boys where they are at. Her hyper awareness, consideration, and kindness allow me to travel and not stress about any of the boys.”

“Samantha was phenomenal! She provided great communication and provided good updates with my dog. She took amazing care of him. I had her housesitting for me and she was extremely respectful of my apartment as well. I would absolutely have Samantha help me out again!”


“We had Tina meet our dogs to make sure she would want to do it. We have a needy Bulldog and a protective Mix. By the time Tina left our house, the dogs were great with her. She sent pictures and updates on the dogs daily and everything they were bothering her with, they bother our family with when were home. So we knew the dogs were comfortable. We will definitely seek out Tina in the future.”

“Smooth meet-up & sitting experience, and great level of communication! She was reliable and trustworthy in taking care of our pups and the house. Would definitely work with you again and looking forward to it!”
“Hannah took great care of our dog, Cedar over the holidays. Hannah sent daily updates and left the house tidy and nice. No worries while we were away. Thanks so much!”

“Cassandra was awesome - took great care of both my dog and cat, and the highest compliment I can give her is that she is incredibly kind, and normal (lol) which is exactly what you want in a pet/house sitter! Will definitely use again :)”
About: We have been loving and caring for dogs for a long time. Big and small dogs; young and old. Our son and 7 year old dog are welcoming I am currently working from home and Bryan works part time. Our son is home schooled at this time, therefore, we have time and energy to help other dogs and other families We have a large yard in a quiet neighborhood; part of our yard is fenced and other part is open for additional exercise. We also walk our dog daily.
“For anyone looking for a trusting and loving person to care for their family, there is no need to look any further. Christine is an exceptional pet sitter who truly goes above and beyond in her care for our dogs and cats. We recently entrusted her with our furry family members for several days, and she exceeded all our expectations. Our dogs (two large unruly huskies), who can be quite a handful, were handled with such love and care, that they are happier to see her than they are when they see us returning home. It actually makes me a little jealous of how much they like her. Every day, Jessie sent us delightful photos and videos of our pets, keeping us updated and reassured. It was such a joy to see our pets happy and well cared for while we were away. Her communication was consistent and thoughtful, ensuring we never had to worry about their well-being. When we returned home, we were amazed to find the house even cleaner than when we left it. Her attention to detail and dedication to her work are truly commendable. Our pets were not only well-fed and exercised but also showered with affection and care. We genuinely appreciate Christine for the outstanding job she does. It’s such a relief to have someone we can trust completely with our beloved pets and our home. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. She is a true gem and an invaluable part of our life. Thank you Christine, you're the best!!!”

“Sylvia did an amazing job! Everything went smoothly and she was flexible with care given the extremely cold weather. We highly recommend and will definitely be a repeat customer.”

“Shobhali was great! I will definitely contact her in the future. She took great care of my two goldens/doodles and kept me in touch with frequent photos she took while playing with them. And, my house was in fine shape when I returned from a 10-day vacation.”

About: Pet parents love booking with me because I provide fast communication, reliable care, and affordable rates. I typically respond within 2–3 minutes between 7am and 9pm, so you’ll never be left waiting for a response or update. I also have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate short-notice bookings, making things easy for busy pet parents. In July 2025, my heart grew four paws bigger when I brought home Bella, my sweet Goldendoodle—and I’ve loved every second of raising, training, and adventuring with her. I genuinely love spending time with dogs—it’s basically free therapy haha! 🐶 As a dedicated dog sitter and pet caregiver, I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. Whether it’s dog sitting, doggy day care, boarding, drop-in visits, or walks, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I grew up with cats and fostered over 10 through the Underdog Pet Rescue of Wisconsin during college, helping them heal, build confidence, and find their forever homes (one of those special fosters even joined my parents’ family!). From vet appointments and administering medications to daily routines, enrichment, exercise, and lots of snuggles, I’ve been hands-on in every stage of pet care. Today, with Bella and two adopted cats of my own, my home is full of love, structure, and happy tails. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s exactly what they are to me. 💛🐶🐱 If you’re looking for an affordable, reliable, and communicative pet sitter, I would love to meet you and your furry family members! I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. My schedule is structured but flexible, so I can build in walks, feeding routines, and enrichment without rushing. I’m also mostly around on weekends, making it easy to provide extra companionship and supervision. I keep my calendar updated every 1–2 days and sometimes have flexibility even on days that show as unavailable—please message me and I will do my best to accommodate your needs. Your pets would have reliable care, routine, and plenty of love all week long. 🐾💛 I care for pets in a safe, loving home environment designed with animals in mind. I live in a house with plenty of space, cozy dog and cat beds, and lots of toys to keep everyone comfortable and entertained. We have a huge backyard plus sidewalks throughout the neighborhood for daily walks—and I’m always happy to drive somewhere new for a fun adventure or a pup cup treat. For overnight boarding in my home, all dogs are safely crated at night to ensure a secure and restful environment for everyone. I’m happy to schedule a meet and greet with you, your dog, and my animals ahead of time to make sure everyone feels comfortable. Please feel free to ask me any questions you have about my services—I’m a very transparent person and want you to feel reassured that your baby is in good hands while you’re away. My home is fully animal-safe and pet-ready, as I’ve already created a structured, secure space for my three own furry family members. 🐾💛
“We came home to two happy and healthy pups! Skyler was very responsive to our questions the whole time we were gone and sent frequent photos. This was our first time using Rover and we will definitely use it again should the need arise. Thank you Skyler! Kuma and Zilla say “Hi””

“Sidney was great! Very attentive, patient and kept us updated the whole time! We have a very energetic pup who is still learning manners and she was patient with him. We also have an old girl who can be a little unsure of new people and she gave her the time and space to warm up to her. The dogs were in great hands! We will be using Sidney again!”
