“Shannon did a wonderful job taking care of our very jumpy/high energy dog. Shannon had insightful questions to make sure our dog was getting the best care. She sent us pictures to help calm our nerves as this was our first time using Rover and took our dog on walks. We appreciated her commitment and willingness to help us out on short notice and hope she will help us again!”
“Emily went above and beyond with our puppies. She sent pictures every day, spent LOTS of outdoor time with them and did everything she could to make sure they were not only taken care of, but happy. When she left she cleaned up to the point that we hardly knew she was here. Highly recommend, will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Annette is a wonderful sitter and I highly recommend her. She is trustworthy, communicative, and kind and shows a great love and passion for taking care of animals!”
About: I am experienced in pet care! I have been around animals my entire life, and have cared for many. I love making sure they are not only properly taken care of, but also being given the chance to live their best lives! I am currently a student at UWSP, so my weekdays tend to be fairly busy, but I have plenty of breaks in between for check ins and walks. I am also able to care for pets while multitasking during long nights studying. My personal pets are always a priority to me. I make sure they are fed proper amounts, have a clean space to live and use the bathroom, and most importantly I make prioritize giving them love and affection. While more active animals, I tend to give them plenty of opportunities for exercise, utilizing the large space by my apartment complex. I am always finding creative ways to enrich my animals!
“Kaitlyn is a warm gentle souls and my animals sensed that. Usually my cats hide until we come home and come out when the persona is sleeping bit not for Kaitlynn! Wasn’t a couple hours in and the cats were both seen and the one that is most aloof with strangers was out first flopping around on the living room carpet. It ticked me pink to know the my animals saw in her what i had. A kindred spirit. She sent me updates and cute pictures and it made me happy. I would definitely recommend her to someone who is looking for someone who feels like me -“picky” with who watches their babies. My dog warmed up to her after the proper sniffing and inspection and even slept with her for a little of the night. So once again when my dog approves of her that once again solidified my decision that she was a good one. I always listen to my my dog when it come to good or bad people when meeting them for first time. Kaitlyn is wonderful kind gentle personable and respectful and would recommend her 1000000000 times over!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs practically my whole life, and I’ve also worked at a pet food store so I’ve had experiences with all dog types. My friends and neighbors have often trusted me with their dogs. I currently work part-time (typically 9 am-2 pm) so I have plenty of free time in my afternoons and evenings to take care of your dog! I can also be pretty flexible if given enough notice. I am very respectful of anyone’s homes, and I always make sure to leave the place looking the same, if not better, than it was when I arrived.
“Daniel was fantastic with our sweet baby! Having a Dane, we are always nervous about new people watching her. Daniel was kind and loving with her and took amazing care of her, allowing us to fully enjoy our time away. His communication with us was phenomenal as well. We will absolutely be hiring him again in the future!”

My shifts are usually about 6 hours long, which gives me lots of time to take care of the animals. I usually run my dog in the morning and evening, and spend time with her at the park and other places I go to. Sometimes Cardi, Boat and I just like to hang out in the yard and have a cup of coffee! I have a mostly fenced in yard in the back of my house, that my dog spends the most time playing in! I often take walks and go to the park and many other places. When I pet sit for my friends and family I work with what they have in their home. At my home I also have a long lead so they can safely play in the yard!
