House Sitting Allen

“Korah is AMAZING, we’ve had her stay with Theo multiple times and each time I think he’s more excited to see her walk in the door. She’s always so caring and thoughtful! This time there were storms and she kept him calm and comforted which gave us so much relief knowing he was so well cared for. I cannot recommend Korah enough!”

About: Hi there! My name is Michelle and Ive been a pet owner since I was a child. My family always had dogs, cats, pocket pets, and the occasional tarantula. Im the niece of a large animal veterinarian whose clinic I volunteered at after school and summers. Currently my husband and I are owned by a Labrador Retriever and an English Setter. We are active with a national English Setter rescue, which is where our beautiful boy came from, and run volunteer transports of dogs on their way to foster or forever homes. *** Due to personal reasons, for House Sitting bookings I sleep at my own home. I will arrange my arrival and departure times at your home, to whatever your preferences are. I usually arrive around 6am and leave between 9 and 10pm, but thats variable based on your pet's routine.*** Im semi-retired! My routine is whatever it needs to be from day to day. Im a firm believer in being flexible to meet the situation's needs. Each pet is different. Some are couch potatoes, some want to hike the Alps, but all need mental stimulation and tons of hugs. Playtime, walks, treats and any other interactions you, as the expert on your pet, request of me, are part of the services I offer.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our animals! Emma was so great at communicating when she will be there and how our pets were doing while we were away. She went above and beyond by cleaning unexpected messes (turns out my dog isn’t exactly an angel lol). Will definitely rebook Emma on our next trip out of town.”

About: Hello, my name is Taryn. I’ve had plenty of experience taking care of dogs as I have had dogs my whole life. Since middle school, I have been pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Not only have I had pet sitting experience with dogs, I have taken care of other animals as well. Those animals range from cats, bunnies, fish, and even chickens ! I will be able to provide you and your pets with the services you need! I just graduated from UW-Stout and am currently living in Eau Claire. I work at my main job on weekdays (in Menomonie). My hours vary, but they are usually only 7 hour shifts or less. I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays unless I already have another gig booked. I am able to provide your pet with whatever service they need, ranging from making sure they have enough food and water to taking them on walks and providing them with entertainment! I am available for dog walking and drop-ins before 5pm on Mondays, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and after 5pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. As for house-sitting, I am available most days as long as your pet is okay with being alone for a few hours! I attend in-person classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, but would have an hour or two to come back to the house to check in! I currently do not offer doggy day care in my own home, but I will be able to keep your dogs company at their respective homes. I can walk them, feed them, play with them, keep them company, and more!

“Janet is very helpful!! We had a couple of last minute times when we needed someone to come by for a feeding & potty break and she jumped right in. Also made a point to meet Bosun in advance so that she was prepared for when these sort of things to pop up.”

“Kessia is great! She is very prompt to respond and updated us with pictures. Clearly our animals loved her as they were always right next to if not sitting on her! Had her do a one night stay and will have her back when we go on vacation!”

“Olivia did a great job watching our 2 pups and provided updates and pictures each day.”

“Last minute I needed to find a sitter for my 2 dogs, one being a 3 month old puppy. Laura got back to me so quick, and was able to dog sit the next morning! Very grateful! My doggos loved her, and she was respectful of our home and followed our instructions to a T!”

“Celeste was the greatest! I felt at ease leaving my dogs with her. She was loving and caring and they both loved her! I would recommend her to anyone that has cherished pets.🥰”

“Olivia did a fantastic job looking after our pets and house while we were away for a week and a half. She treated our babies like they were her own and we couldn’t be happier. It’s so nice knowing they are in good hands while we were away. It certainly helped us enjoy our vacation so much more! She sent pictures and videos and it was clear that the dogs were having the best time and were really enjoying their time with her. All the updates were greatly appreciated! I was worried the dogs wouldn’t want us coming back 😉 I will absolutely be using Olivia for future pet sitting needs. Thanks Olivia!!”

“Our experience with Destiny as a sitter at our home was fantastic. She sent lots of photo updates. All the animals, including our shy cat, seemed to love her company! Her communication is excellent and she made sure to check in prior to the stay to make sure we were on the same page for arrival as well as the day/time she left. She cleaned up the house before she left which was not expected at all but very much appreciated. We look forward to having her come back and stay with our fur babies again.”

About: Your pet will have a peaceful stay with lots of love and attention. I will make sure they feel right at home and get all the belly rubs! I work full time from home so if your pet is boarding with me they’ll never be alone, and if I am coming to your home I have some flexibility in my schedule. I love caring for animals! I have lots of nature around my place to take your pet on walks. I have worked as a vet assistant and cared for many dogs, cats, and rabbits in the past.

“Aaralyn helped me out on super short notice and did a great job with my Luna!”

About: My mom had rescue dogs and cats my entire childhood, and I always helped care for them as her oldest daughter. My mom adopted dogs big and small - as big as a golden retriever, and as little as a chihuahua, and often cared for multiple cats at a time. I grew up in California, where my family pets live with my parents - three dogs and two cats. My cat Momo moved to Eau Claire with me. My parents are planning to retire here, which will be a big move, especially with so many animals, so when the time comes, I’ll be helping move their pets. After living in Eau Claire for a month or so, I house and pet sat for my cousin while she was working on a project out of town for a few months. I bonded with her German Shepherd, Lobo, through long walks and runs, and fell in love with her tiny cat Duchess. Later that winter, while I was still doing the long-term pet sit for my cousin, one of her friend’s rescued a cat who had been abandoned. Due to her living situation, she couldn’t take it in immediately, so Lobo and Duchess had Zia as a guest living with us for a month or so. Beyond helping out my family, I have friends whose animals I help care for on occasion too. One friend reaches out when she needs to go out of town, and I will do check ups or come stay with her needy and sweet cat-named-Kitty. Another friend and I meet up to walk downtown with her cutie little dog Lotta. I record all my walks and runs on Strava, and enjoy posting photos and videos of my furry companions, so if I walk with your pup, I would be happy to share photos if you ask! Last summer, I looked after my co-worker’s chickens and garden for a 3-day weekend, so I’m open to learning how to care for other pets beyond cats and dogs too! I work part-time at the flower shop and my schedule varies week to week based on their need, but I have lots of free time between weekdays and the weekend - I always have a free Sunday. I can easily arrange my schedule to allow for plenty of time between walks, play time, or check ups with animals. I will be brand new to Rover and open to meeting pets’ needs and routines as their human typically would! Right now, beyond my cat Momo, the only other animals I care for are my cousin’s dog and cat when she’s traveling and needs me to fill in, and I care for them as she would - from feeding routines to play time, walks, and cleaning.

About: I volunteered at an animal shelter for two and a half years. My family has had many pets and I was always their primary caretaker. Currently, I have had my dog for 8 years and my husband and I recently adopted our cat Buster together. I have also had experience with smaller animals like guinea pigs and rabbits. I am able to walk, bathe, brush, clip claws, feed, exercise, and play with cats and dogs of all ages. I am a teacher so I am available mostly during evenings for drop in visits and walks. During common break times such as Spring Break or summer I would be available for overnight house sitting. Weekends are usually fully open! I am experienced in keeping animals safe and healthy. This includes playing and exercising with them, making sure they get food and water, and cleaning after them.

About: Caring for pets has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I make sure they feel at home. I’m currently learning more about grooming, but I’m already confident in nail trimming and bathing. If that’s something you’d like done during your furry friends stay, just let me know! I have weekend availability and some weekday availability where I could be home all day with your furry friend. I can accommodate to a schedule that fits your Pets needs I have room in my home to accommodate a crate if your dog needs one otherwise my house is childproof and dog proof, so you never have to worry about your furry friend getting into something they shouldn’t.

“Bevin stayed and took good care of my border collie, Sophie. Pictures and updates made me feel even better. Thank you!”

“Alexis was so good with my three dogs! She paid attention to all their cues and lavished them with attention and belly rubs. I would definitely have her come again!”
