“Ty is great with my dogs. I have a 15 lb 15.5 year old who has a lot of health issues. He went out of his way to really give him the extra care he needs. My younger large rescue dog who has anxiety loves to go there and play with Ty and all the other dogs. He sends videos and pictures of the boys playing and having fun or just relaxing. Ty has been their pet sitter for 9 months now and they come home tired, relaxed and happy.”
“Rob and Sarah were so warm and they made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with them. They also sent pictures and let me know how she was doing while I was gone. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask them to care for her again!!”
“My dog stayed for an extended weekend and came home happy, healthy and tired from all the playing. Very happy with the service and will be using them again in the future.”
“Laura and her family provided the best home away from home for Charlie. They made sure he was stimulated, brought him with them during their family activities, and encouraged play between their cute dog snd ours. Laura communicated regularly with us and updated us on how Charlie was doing. As a puppy, Charlie was probably a pest, but Laura and family was so good to him. We’d love to have future dog stays with Laura”
“Lynne was absolutely wonderful with Gemma and Gemma loved being with her! Lynne was so very flexible as I needed an unexpected extension of Gemma’s stay. Thank you so much Lynne!”
“Erica and Ciara were AMAZING with our little Cavapoo puppy. She was so well taken care of, and we received lots of updates while we were gone about our puppy and what she was up to. Lots of photos too to help with being away from her. Could not recommend Erica and Ciara enough!!!”
“This was our first time leaving town without Baxter. Amy's picture updates eased our minds, and we loved knowing that he got to spend the day playing with his new friend Romeo.”
“Ashley and Family took wonderful care of our pups! We received pictures and updates daily, you could see they truly did become part of the family during their stay! We will definitely be booking with Ashley again!!☺️”
“Jenny was phenomenal. She’s very flexible on times of pick up and drop off. She sent multiple pictures of Wiley having fun running around and playing. He was more energetic on pick up and even seemed as if he wished to stay longer. Both of her dogs were playful and accepted Wiley into their home with out any issues. Both Wiley and I are extremely pleased with this experience, and can’t wait until the next time Jenny can watch him again when I need to be out of town.”
“This was our first (and definitely not last!) time using Rover. Our dog is a high energy lab who also gets anxious easily. Immediately Tys profile stuck out to me and while messaging to set everything up I immediately felt at ease. Through our entire trip Ty sent pictures, videos, and updates. He went above and beyond, and I wasn't sure our pup was going to want to come home! I can confidently say we will be using Ty again any time the opportunity comes.”
“We felt very comfortable leaving both our dogs with Julie. She is a great communicator, considerate, and understanding of some family circumstances that unexpectedly came up. We will definitely use Julie again when we return to La Crosse. It's always a great feeling knowing our fur kids are safe, sound, and well cared for. Thanks so much, Julei!”
“Lauren is really positive, relaxed, and is experienced at getting dogs acquainted with one another! I know Callum was getting his steps in with her pack and got plenty of love from Lauren (made a few guest appearances in her work meetings). I picked up a happy and healthy boy!”
“Kirsten and Kaleb have our Holly amazing care while we were gone for almost two weeks. They sent pictures every day and were so flexible with what we needed, even offering to keep Holly am extra day when we weren't sure we would get back on time. Holly doesn't always get along with other dogs but she loved their dog, Beau!”
“Angela is the best babysitter took care of my baby even at the last min she send pics and kept me updated while we was away for 3 nights I would definitely recommend her to watch your pup 5 stars all the way I will be back soon .I know my khaleesi is in good hands ..Thank you so much !!!”
“Janelle and her husband Chris cared for our boy like he was their own pup. I had no worries about him while we were away because I knew that he was in great hands! Bert ran around and had a blast playing in their backyard. Janelle and Chris were amazing and we will for sure book again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly love caring for them. I grew up with a variety of pets including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and bunnies, which gave me a deep appreciation for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience providing pet care, including overnight stays, administering medications, and keeping pets comfortable and happy in their home environment. I always focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine—whether that’s mealtime schedules, daily walks, playtime, or a bit of training and structure. I’m also experienced in caring for senior pets and can support their specific needs with patience and care. My goal is to treat every pet like family and give you peace of mind while you're away. I can also send you daily updates/photos of your fur babies so you know they are being well taken care of! I have both a dog and cat that I take care of every day. My dog is a three year old energetic lab/springer mix and I have a one year old orange kitty. I love getting outside and having playtime or going on walks with my dog and playing with my cat. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, following any specific instructions you provide—like feeding schedules, medications, or routines. When pets stay with me, my home is set up to be a safe and welcoming space where they can relax and feel at ease. During drop-in visits, I’m respectful of your home and make sure to keep everything just as I found it. In all cases, I take the time to build trust and move at each pet’s pace to ensure they feel secure and loved. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets.
