“Jamie was once again wonderful. Her communication is great, with multiple photo updates throughout the day. My dogs always come home happy and sleepy. Can’t recommend her enough.”

“Andrew was GREAT! His whole house, from the inside out was extremely dog friendly. LiLi was a little apprehensive at first. He let me stay while he introduced all the dogs he was watching, one at a time, to LiLi. He made the transition easier for her by giving her (and all the other dogs) treats. Even though LiLi was nervous when I left, Andrew sent me a video of her happily playing with his dog, James, less than 5 minutes after I left. He took great pictures and videos too!! Definitely will use him again…tomorrow. 😊”


“LiLi had a great time at Kimberlee’s. When I came to pick her up, she was still trying to run around and play with their dog, Odie, who has become one of LiLi’s best pals.”

“Christina was amazing! She gauges the dogs needs very well and I feel our pups were happier when we came back than when we dropped them off! Definitely use her, she will not disappoint.”


“I’ve been bringing my dog, Mykonos, to Lynn for daycare, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Every morning, he gets so excited to go back, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he feels with her. He comes home calm and content, showing no signs of stress or anxiety. It gives me real peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Lynn clearly cares deeply for the dogs she looks after, and I’m grateful for the warm, safe environment she provides.”

“I’m a first time puppy parent and Chris made it so stress free for my puppy’s first daycare experience. He was only there for a few hours but he is already asleep at home so I know he had a great time! We will definitely be booking with Chris again when I need a daycare!”

About: Hello! I’m Angelica! I’m happy to meet you! Feel free to book me as I am willing to do almost anything to fulfill your pets needs and satisfy you as a customer. I do have experience as I have studied animal anatomy, am/have been a volunteer at near by animal rescues and shelters, and I have three dogs myself (two of which live with me and the third being a family dog)! I love animal and am always willing to learn something new and have plenty of references to help back up all this information! I prefer to do dog sitting in my home since I am able to have free access to emergency kits, constant walks and be able to do boarding at the same time as dog sitting. I have experienced in administering medications as my family dog has seizures and needs round the clock care. I will promise to shower your baby with attention and unconditional love! I am currently working 3rd shift and my partner works 1st. Due to this, there is always someone home with the pups who is able to take them out for potty breaks and spend time with them. I have a fenced in yard that is high enough to prevent any escape artists! I also have two friendly dogs who will be more than happy to run around with your pup and let off some energy!
“Emily and Ryan did a great job watching Hopscotch. They were easy to communicate with and were flexible with my schedule. I would recommend them if you need someone to watch your dog.”


“My fur babies had such a great time with Desmond! He was kind enough to take them in last minute and made me feel so comfortable. You could tell he really cared for them. I will definitely use him again soon!”
“We contacted Val the morning of and she was more than happy to have our Remington over for daycare on such short notice. We were super pleased with the amount of photos and videos that were shared through her Instagram. We found it to be very convenient on staying updated with our pup's activities. We can tell Remington had a blast and hope to book with her again! Thank you Val!”

“Lindsay was extremely accommodating to my schedule! She welcomed Millie in and gave her a second home while I was at work. I felt at peace knowing Lindsay was taking great care of Millie and giving her all the love and attention she deserved.”

About: Growing up in New Berlin, WI, I was lucky enough to be surrounded by dogs in my own household, as well as in my neighborhood. Whether it was playing with family and friends dogs or watching them interact, I developed a deep love and understanding for all kinds of pups from an early age. During my time at NKU, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Communications, I had the opportunity to care for many athletes’ pets, which gave me the chance to bond with dogs and animals of all sizes and breeds. I also spent a year working as a pet nanny for an adorable Alaskan Klee Kai puppy, which only deepened my experience in handling and nurturing dogs. By engaging psychologically, physically, and emotionally with the dog is very important for their overall well being and growth. Currently, I have a 6-year old male Australian Shepherd named Remington who is full of energy and loves to socialize with dogs of all shapes and sizes. He’s very friendly, playful, and always up for an opportunity to make new friends. We’re lucky enough to have a large fenced in yard where we enjoy running around, playing fetch, and getting plenty of exercise. Whether you need someone to take care of your fur baby for the day, go for a walk, or overnight stays, I’m ready to give your pet all the love, attention, and care they need. With years of experience and a true passion for dogs I’m confident I can offer your pet, a fun, safe & happy experience while you’re away. I am free 24-7 on weekends, during the week it varies. Feel free to message me for more info! I would love to care for your fur baby. I believe in making the home not just a home for me, but for the dog as well. Making sure they are comfortable from the time they step foot in my door to when they leave.

“We were very pleased with the care our beagle received. Her back yard is fenced which allowed Spencer to be outside without a leash, which he loves. Will use her again, absolutely!”

About: As a big animal lover I’ve always sought ways to spend more time with them in whatever ways I could - be that pet-sitting for friends and family, helping to exercise friend’s dogs when they were busy, to volunteering for the last 12 years at a therapeutic horseback-riding facility. In that time I’ve dedicated to learning as much as I could about dogs, cats, and horses and how to care for and teach them so you can feel secure that your pet will be treated with the utmost kindness, respect, and love, with some dashes of training and fun mixed in. Need someone to care for your furry family member - look no further! I currently deliver packages for Amazon Flex and schedule my blocks day-of (usually only 2 hours or less before they start) so I’m always able to be available if need be. If in your home I can feed, water, walk, snuggle with, give medication, do basic training or exercise your dog and will do so in the most professional manner possible. If your dog is coming over to my home, I have a large, clear fenced in yard where my 11.5 month old Irish Setter has plenty of room to get her energy out daily so you can feel comfortable that your dogs would have ample space to wear themselves out and a super-friendly (and gentle) playmate to help in that endeavor. Afterwards I have a spare XL hard plastic crate if they need time and space to rest or if they are spending the night, along with plenty of fuzzy blankets and toys they can snuggle up with. Whatever it is your looking for, I’m happy to help make you and your dog’s lives happier, healthier and as stress-free as can be!

I also have a large mostly fenced yard that I will be completing with a gate soon.

I have experience in noticing signs of bloat and know how to intervene. I will always let you know the minute your pet seems a bit “off”. I lost both of my Golden Retrievers due to age and now I fill my home with helping others and their pets which shines light into my life! I am currently working but my work is really flexible with my schedule. If I pet sit your dog or cat, they come first always. I have a fenced in yard and a river walk near by for daily exercise. I am used to medicine routines for cats/dogs as well. My pets have always been on flea meds and UTD.
About: I have three pups. I've fostered for different rescues in the area and can provide references upon request. We've had every type of pup here and haven't ever had to turn one away.

He was a rescue from Homeward Bound animal shelter and is the best boy! Paddy (Padfoot), my Labradooodle was born around 2021 and has such a sweet disposition! He was also adopted from Homeward Bound. My pup Fred Rogers (Chi-Weenie) was also born around 2021 and was actually a client's (turned friend) pup through Rover.
