We could not have been more pleased with Rhonda watching our 2 girls. She arrived on time, sent us pictures of how everything was going, and engaged with our girls. I would highly recommend Rhonda to watch your pets.

Nick and Dorothy did a great job taking care of our home and our English Mastiff Oley. We got lots of pictures and updates while we were gone. The house was left in a very clean and orderly fashion.

Michael was amazing. He dog sat for us while we were out of town for 5 nights and he did an amazing job. He was a great communicator, awesome to our 3 big dogs and very tidy and polite. We look forward to having him dog/house sit for us again. He gave us peace of mind that our pups were well taken care of.

There’s not enough wonderful things to say about Madelyn, she’s truly the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! The pups loved her, she was so incredibly respectful of our home while we were away, and she communicated often to let us know our babies were doing well. THANK YOU SO MUCH, very much looking forward to having you back soon! 💛

About: We are an active family with 3 children (and one on the way) who love to play outside, take long walks, and even run with our dog. Animals are well-loved in our home and welcome on the furniture. I would love to include your pet in any exercise needs as well! We are available for walking pets before 8 am and after 4:30 p.m. every day. I can also do mid-day drop-ins if located in the Wausau area (best if northeast side of Wausau as I work in the Industrial park or near Merrill since my husband works there). We have a 2000 sq foot house, so there is plenty of room for more pets to house overnight. My kids absolutely love playing ball and walking the dog, too! We have an energetic black lab who loves to play. I believe in being active and playing as much as possible with my family (but am totally ok watching dogs who love to nap :) ).

Lindsey was amazing! She took wonderful care our pup and even though this was our first time using Lindsey as a sitter, we knew right away that he was in great hands while we were away. I wish I could keep Lindsey a secret but I can’t, she’s that great and deserves this review. Definitely recommend 🌟!

About: I grew up with a variety of pets, and I thoroughly love all kinds of animals! My family had a dog about 19years, and we took care of him from puppy years to old age. I have my own dog, Roxy a collie mix, who I raised by myself from 4mo old and she has learned so much! I am a travel nurse so I’m not from the area and I am free any day that I’m not working! I typically do 3 - 12hr night shifts. Since I am not from the area I cannot take animals into my own place, but I am very flexible and willing to accommodate any way that is needed for you and your pet's needs.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience pet sitting for friends, family and clients. I have cared for pets of all ages and sizes. My experience includes, my own pets my whole life including puppies, daily walks, feeding schedules, medications, playtime and overnight care. I will provide regular updates with photos and I am attentive to pets routines, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while owners are away. I work full time from 8am-5pm but have the ability to take breaks for drop in visits. I am more than happy to work around this schedule.

I understand dogs needs and will make sure my home or yours is a safe and loving environment for them.

Krystle is nothing short of phenomenal! She took on the challenge of an extended stay with my recently-rescued Shepherd. She was patient with his separation anxiety, sent frequent photos and updates and because of her warm personality and ability to connect with my furry guy — I had zero concerns while I was away.

Kirsten was amazing with my 2 sweet pups! She sent me lots of pictures and videos which was great because I rarely leave them for long periods of time. She kept me well informed the whole time on how things were going. Kirsten was also very sweet and professional at the meet and greet, so I felt comfortable with her as did my pups. She is definitely worth booking with! I would book with her again in a heartbeat!

Words cannot describe how grateful I am for Dorothy. I am new to this area and was in a bind. I couldn’t find anyone to watch my little girl. Dorothy understood my situation changed her plans and came to my rescue. Fiona loves Dorothy. She’s super sweet attentive Carese and you could see the love she has for dogs. This is my first time using Rover and I was hesitant, but my experience with Dorothy made a huge difference.. I highly recommend her services.

Watched all four of our dogs over night, they all loved her. Showed up on time. Was very detailed oriented, paid attention to all our dog’s needs. And sent photos of our dogs throughout the day. She was also available to text for check ins. Would have her watch our dogs again, we were able to leave town with peace of mind that our dogs were well cared for.
