House Sitting in Wausau

“Rhonda took the time to really learn the routines of our home and did a great job with our dogs and house while we were away. I appreciated the daily (often multiple times per day) photos and updates. Hope to have her sit for us again!”

“Nicole is one of our favorite Rover sitters! She sends us lots of pictures of our happy guy and we know he’s well taken care of when we are gone. Nicole is very trustworthy and Miko is always so very happy to see her :)”

“Cali did amazing with our 3 cats and us being out of the country. She did great with our 1 very difficult cat. Kept 2 separate from one, so no fighting. They warmed up to her better than expected. Cali gave wonderful daily updates, pictures. This was our first time using this app and our first time leaving our babies. I felt very comfortable! Cali was respectful to our home as well! We are extremely satisfied!!”

“This was Ashley’s first time taking care of Annie and all was well. Annie can be fearful and timid but Ashley made sure Annie had everything she needed while I was out of town for a wedding.”

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 have a fenced in yard and a playful and friendly mini dachshund of my own to keep your dog company while you are away. I understand dogs needs and will make sure my home or yours is a safe and loving environment for them.

“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.”

About: We are an active family with 3 children 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 :) ).

“Excellent care of Lua. Exceeded expectations. Will use her again.”

“Thank you!”

“Josh was awesome with our animals. It was our first time using a sitter as my youngest who’s now in college did a majority of the pet sitting if I was away. He came out areas of time to make sure it was a good fit. He gave us many updates while we were gone, which I was grateful for. He even put our rooster back in the coop who didn’t have enough sense to stay inside during the snow storm.”

About: I’ve cared for many cats and dogs over the years. I’ve cared for 2 litters of 12 puppies and my elderly dogs. I’ve also spent a lot of time with my mother in her pet grooming shop. I have a puppy of my own, (10yrs) who I love and care for. I love taking her with me on rides. I love meeting with friends to walk or spend time at the dog park. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I bring leashes with me if your dog likes to run. I keep a clean tidy environment away from any dangers.

About: I’ve always loved caring for animals and have 4 dogs at home. I’ve been a pet sitter to family and friends for years! I am retired and have a fairly open schedule! I’m super flexible with my time. I can work with most schedules. I don’t travel a ton but I will be gone on occasion. I won’t be able to bring your pets to my home since we are at full capacity but I’m available to come and hang out with your pet, take them for walks, and play with them!

About: Hello All, I'm new to Rover, but I have a lot of dog and cat experience! I have fostered and rehabilitated dogs for the last 6 years along with helping reunite scared lost dogs with their families or dogs that have been abandoned. I'm able to care for animals with medical needs and behavioral challenges. I have the patients and confidence to handle situations that require extra care and understanding. I have worked with feral dogs, dogs from puppy mills, puppies, seniors, and so many other dogs with interesting traits. When fostering I prefer the dogs that need to be rehabilitated and extra care to thrive. I have always had a cat in my home since I was born. I do not foster them but am qualified to care for them as well. I have the snuggling part down to a science. Even with all my experience, I feel it is important to be respectful of the animals' current routines and make sure the animals feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. As a foster dog mom, and an animal owner that travels often, I understand the importance of updating on how your fur family is doing while you are away. You will most certainly get updates. If I sound like a good match to walk, drop in, or overnight sit for your pets, please reach out. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. I have my own business and have found I have a bit of extra time on my hands. I'm not the best at not having a full plate. Joining Rover felt like the perfect way to use my experience while doing something I enjoy. I have a lot of experience with flight risk dogs and take extra precautions to ensure your animals are safe. In my community I assist with reuniting scared newly adopted dogs or dogs that were abandoned and need to be trapped. I do not take the safety of your pet(s) lightly.

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Ever since I was young I’ve had a dog in the house, to me your dog is your family and I strive to treat all my animals like family members. As of now I have a pretty open schedule including weekends. As for drop in visits I prefer to keep them in the Wausau area I can provide a crate/kennel for your dog if needed. I have a French Bulldog that is very high energy and excited when new people/dogs arrive, he is very vocal but he is friendly.He is more standoffish with people but does great with dogs. He is up to date on vaccinations and neutered. I have a large partially fenced in yard.As far as drop in visits I am able to make 2-3 visits a day to your home.

“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 🌟!”

“Grace did everything we asked for and dogs seemed well taken care of when we returned! Also enjoyed the pictures! We definitely recommend her.”
