Have rebooked Kathy a few times because she takes such great care of my kitties. She’s also very accommodating when I ask for other little things, like feeding the fish, and watering plants.

Michelle easily gets a five star review. I just moved to the area and was nervous about leaving my dog alone but Michelle has made the transition so easy. She is wonderful with my boy. She is excellent with communicating and sends the best updates. 10 times out of 10, I’m picking Michelle.

Julia took excellent care of my rabbit! My bunny requires meds twice a day and has a special diet - she was super patient and gentle with him, along with being communicative about each visit. Can't reccommend enough!

She did so good with my evil cat and even brought in a package and put my robot camera back on the charger. We met up before my vacation and did a quick review of what was needed. I felt comfortable knowing she was there for my cat :)

Liz was amazing! She was so sweet to our two cats and took excellent care of them. She also took her son over to visit them one night and he was great with them. Can’t recommend her enough, we are immediately rebooking for our next weekend trip.

About: I have a diverse experience of taking care of dogs. One of my previous jobs was working in a dog daycare/kennel where I took care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have been a dog walker and sitter for many years now, and have been around dogs my whole life! I currently own a mini poodle puppy! I am currently a full time student and can help walk your dog on weekends, holidays, and some odd days throughout the week. My schedule does change, so I can’t provide consistent care, but would love to help out when I can! I take dog walking very seriously, and make sure that the dog’s safety is prioritized. It make sure to be very observant of the dog’s surroundings and temperament, and will be ready to pivot whenever necessary. Communication is very important to me, so I am as prepared as possible for every situation.

About: I have had dogs of my own since I was 9 years old. I LOVE dogs--especially small ones! I have trained all of my dogs. I board friends' dogs in my home all the time, and am now excited to move into boarding strangers' dogs here on Rover! I work full-time, a mix of in-office and at home. I work from home on Thursdays and have flexibility on Fridays, so it works best for me to be able to provide boarding on long weekends (Thursday-Sunday). I am happy to provide your pet with seamless care and match what they are used to in your home. I have a large yard and a quiet neighborhood. My home has many rooms and I have some gates so that I can separate pets if needed. I also have a puppy play pen for smaller/younger pups who need their own space.

About: I have been around animals in my family my whole life and have always enjoyed taking care of them and keeping them entertained. I have been working at Central Bark Doggy Daycare for 5 months and have experience with lots of breeds! I am currently working part time, and am on summer break from school, I'd like to spend my free time taking care of as many pups as possible. I live with my parents and pets of my own so my house is not available for pet care. But when I am in a clients home I always leave it just as neat as I left it. I would prefer if I knew where all cleaning supplies are in order to clean up any pet messes!

About: I’ve been looking after fluffy frens of all shapes and sizes from a young age. My time doing a full house/dog sitting gig was for my grandparents and their French bulldog, Sugar (miss you, Sugs!). Since then I have been the go-to for my friends and family for taking care of their for legged family. I make sure your fury family gets the love and care they need, whether you just have one smol dog or a pack of greyhounds. I currently had a stretch of rough health luck, but my ails are your pups gain! I’m currently on the mend, and it’s going well, but between jobs, so my schedule is wide open. I’ll have the time to give your pups the TLC they deserve! Currently unavailable to board pets at my house, but I will make sure to treat all pets in a safe and caring way. I’ll treat them like a newborn baby, because hey, in a way they are!

About: Hi, my name is Missy I've had a great deal of experience with all different kinds of animals. I worked with a local vet helping place feral cats in homes and providing excellent care for them. Including helping pregnant feral cats with delivery and maternal care. I have volunteered at the Wisconsin Humane Society. There I worked in the Wildlife rehabilitation center as well as the dog care center. I currently own dogs and cats of my own and I recognize how important it is to provide excellent care as well as exercise and playtime. I have past experience in boarding and dog sitting in my home which has always been a great experience. Can't wait to give the love and care your dog(s) deserve!

About: I recently lost both of my dogs and while I'm not ready for a new dog, I'd love to take care of yours. I'm very active and love taking walks. I cared for my own very senior dog for several years. I work 10-6 Monday through Friday. I can walk morning and evenings and if required I'm close to my job to stop home mid day. I have a fairly large back yard with a tie up but will more likely take the dog for walks. I live in a safe neighborhood by myself and I have no other pets at this time.

Meg was great. She helped take care of my spicy cat, Larry, while I was gone for the weekend. She sent pictures and videos and let me know how he was doing. Larry was happy to get his regular outside time and walk to the woods. We both appreciate Meg's help.
