“We were extremely pleased with Brandi! She took such great care of Oakley for us and even gave Oakley her own special Thanksgiving dinner! We loved the pictures sent and the texts about how Oakley was doing! I’m happy we booked with Brandi again!”
“It was our first time using a dog sitter (so that was nerve wracking enough) but the process was such a breeze. We went with Christy due to her experience and stellar reviews and both did not disappoint! Christy was great with our puppy - she was in constant communication with us, sent us videos and pictures without asking and even accommodated our late arrival into town by dropping off our puppy at OUR home. We would definitely request her service again for any future needs! PS - extra kudos for having a fenced in yard (took away so many worries for our 7 month old puppy) and our little guy got along wonderfully with her dog Cooper (our guy had a friend to play with the whole weekend!!)”
“Tammie is always great with my pups! She is their happy home away from home. Great care, great sitter, great people. I wouldn’t want to take my girls anywhere else for extended care.😊”
“Morgan was amazing! She was very flexible with our timing needs, and so excited to care for Panzer. I appreciated the picture she sent about 2 hours into the day. I relaxed, knowing our dog was fitting in, and not stressed about missing us. Actually, I’m sure he was kept so busy he didn’t have a chance to miss us. Highly recommend Morgan!”
“Randee was great with Louie! We will not hesitate to have Louie stay with Randee again. Randee was very accommodating and understanding when we had to adjust some drop off and arrival times.”
“Kara and Ben took great care of our dog, and on short notice! We appreciated their daily updates and photos. Our dog had a great time with their family! We would highly recommend Kara and Ben.”
“Luna absolutely loved staying with Colleen. Colleen took great care of her, kept us updated with photos and videos, and was very flexible with us. We will definitely be using her again!!”
“Xao was AMAZING?!! She took care of my Skyy extremely well!! I was so pleased with all the pics and videos I rec'd bc they showed my fur baby so happy! It was an awesome plus she had small fur babies as well bc now they are friends?! The attention Skyy rec'd was phenomenal and again the special care displayed was appreciated and EVERYTIME I travel without Skyy I know she will be in the best care with XAO?...THANK YOU Rover for having a true fur baby professional on your site☺️...”
“She has a great setup for dogs. Country setting and plenty of room. Very accomodating in the care of Holly. Holly was able to stay outdoors in the shade or sun and come inside at night. Thank you.”
“Andrea was wonderful. My dog Gracie has severe anxiety and it wasn’t going to work, unfortunately. I ended up having to leave work and take her home. I felt bad for Andrea, but she reassured me she was fine with everything. Some dogs just don’t do well in other people’s homes. Anita”
“Brooke was OUTSTANDING with our pup! Daily updates with pictures, tons of lovings and cuddles, and plenty of walks while we were away. We brought home one very happy boy! I highly recommend her when you're in need of the best out there to take care of your fur baby!”
“Eleanor loved staying with Laurie again. She takes wonderful care of dogs and sends pictures/updates! I can tell that she really cares about the animals when they are staying with her and wants them to be so comfortable…Thank you again!”
“Solia and Mike were great care givers for Kona. It was comforting to have a knowledgeable Vet Tech in charge while we were away. Thank you Solia and thanks for keeping us updated with photos while we were gone.”
“Taylor was an outstanding host. She took such good care of, hook. She was very responsive and shared everything about his day. She did an amazing job keeping him happy and occupied. I would recommend her to everyone. Thank you so much.”
About: Hello! My name is Elicia and I have been around animals my entire life. I currently have 3 dogs (4 including my husband 😂) Doug, Cooper and Nala. I love to spend time with animals, and know the struggle of finding someone trust worthy to take care of your kids! I have great references, and am pretty flexible when it comes to the needs and care of you and your pets. I promise to love on them and treat them as if they were my own, no matter how big or how small! I am also open to discussing payment options as well - I am here to work with you and your babies! Looking forward to chatting with you! I have a full time job, 7a-4p Monday - Friday in Wausau. I have the option to work from home 1 day a week if needed, but cannot work from home on Mondays or Fridays. If you’re located close enough to my employer I can let your pets out at lunch! I currently have no restrictions when it comes to caring for pets. I have cared for puppies all the way to elderly dogs. I have no allergies, so nothing to worry about there! I can take them for walks, to the dog park, and am willing to do everything I can to keep them on their schedule and stress free!

Sydney went above and beyond to take care of Moose (bulldog) despite having the flu and a broken foot. We ended up picking him up a day early because she had to go to the doctor and he was missing his family, so that was a bummer but not her fault. I appreciate the care she gave to Moose despite these obstacles.
Jennifer is such a joy! She really loves animals which makes pet sitting a pleasure for her, not a chore. Your babies will be loved well with her. She took care of my super senior and my puppy at the same time. Normally, my senior is so nervous with new people that he won't eat, but he ate a lot with her. My puppy apparently tinkled on her floor plenty but she wasn't phased. She even let me extend our vacation a few hours past the agreed pickup time with no issue. She's incredibly accommodating and kind. Clearly a good person.
My miniature golden doodle had a nice stay over night with Lucinda and her pups. She must of had so much fun, so was definitely one tired little pup. Lucinda sent pictures throughout her stay and kept me updated on how she was doing without me having to ask. I would definitely recommend Lucinda and will use her services again in the future! Thank you Lucinda for taking good care of my pup.
