About: Hi, I’m Nikki—lifelong animal lover, dog mom, and the human behind Fetching Feldy’s Handmade Pet Boutique. Whether your dog thrives on sniff walks, enrichment games, trail time, or just a consistent routine, I’ll tailor each visit to what keeps them happiest. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, snakes, and even owned a bearded dragon. Whether it’s fur, feathers, or scales, I focus on building trust and providing care that fits your pet’s personality and needs. I’m experienced with oral medications (pill or syringe), training reinforcement, and keeping pets safe, calm, and enriched while you’re away. My dog, Tillie, is proof that patience and consistency work—she’s been complimented as “the best behaved dog I’ve ever seen,” and I trained her from puppyhood. When I wanted to take an advanced-level class that usually required multiple prerequisite courses, I shared her skills with the trainer and they let us in. She did great! Training and enrichment are part of our everyday life—on and off the trail. If you're looking for someone who truly gets animals, respects their needs, and cares for them like family, I’d love to connect. I have the unique advantage of creating my own schedule, as I am the owner and creator of Fetching Feldy's Pet Boutique. This flexibility is incredibly beneficial, as it allows me to prioritize and seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Unlike a rigid 9-to-5 job, my hours are designed around my commitments, meaning I can easily: -Schedule visits precisely: I can block out specific times for walks, drop-ins, or house-sitting without conflict, ensuring punctuality and consistent care for your pet. -Be responsive: My flexible hours mean I'm often available to respond quickly to booking requests, last-minute needs, or simply check in with you during the day. -Focus entirely on your pet: When I'm caring for your pet, they have my full attention. My boutique work can be adapted around their needs, not the other way around. My own dog, Tillie, is an integral part of my life, so I deeply understand the importance of routine, exercise, and companionship for pets. Crafting bandanas for Fetching Feldy's often happens around Tillie's walks and playtimes, and extending that same dedicated, pet-centric care to others feels like a natural and fulfilling part of my day. Ultimately, my business structure is built on flexibility and a love for pets, making me a reliable and dedicated choice for your pet care needs. My approach to pet care, regardless of the service, is rooted in safety, communication, and a genuine love for animals. Every pet is unique, and my priority is always to provide personalized care that mirrors their own home routine, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and loved in your absence. 1. For all services, you can expect: -Safety First: I prioritize your pet's well-being above all else, ensuring a secure environment and adhering strictly to your instructions. -Clear Communication: Regular updates, photos, and quick responses to any questions are a given. You'll always know how your furry family member is doing. -Respect for Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect, maintaining cleanliness and privacy as if it were my own. 2. House-Sitting (Caring for Pets & Home in Your Absence): When I'm house-sitting, I become a responsible and caring temporary guardian for both your pets and your home. My goal is to maintain your pets' routine as seamlessly as possible, minimizing their stress and providing them with constant companionship and care. -Dedicated Presence: I stay overnight in your home, providing around-the-clock comfort and security for your pets. They won't feel lonely or anxious. -Routine Adherence: I meticulously follow your detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medication administration, exercise routines, playtimes, and bedtimes. Consistency is key for a happy pet. -Home & Pet Security: Beyond pet care, I ensure your home remains secure, bringing in mail/packages, watering plants, and maintaining a lived-in appearance. -Comfort & Play: We'll enjoy plenty of cuddles, playtime, and enrichment tailored to your pet's needs and preferences. -Regular Updates: You'll receive daily updates with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pets are thriving. 3. Drop-In Visits (Brief, Focused Care in Your Home): Drop-in visits are perfect for providing essential care, comfort, and potty breaks when you're away for shorter periods. My visits are thorough and designed to ensure your pet's immediate needs are met. -Timely & Reliable: I arrive promptly at our scheduled times to maintain your pet's routine. -Basic Needs & Beyond: Each visit includes fresh food and water, dedicated potty breaks, and a thorough check of their environment. -Enrichment & Play: Depending on the visit length, we'll include playtime, cuddles, or mental stimulation to keep your pet happy and engaged. -Home Check: I'll also do a quick check of your home to ensure everything is secure and clean up any pet-related messes. -Visit Summaries: After each visit, you'll receive a detailed report and photos, outlining what we did, how your pet ate, and their bathroom activity. 4. Dog Walking (Exercise & Fresh Air): Dog walks are more than just potty breaks – they're opportunities for exercise, mental stimulation, and enjoyment of the outdoors. I focus on making each walk safe, fun, and tailored to your dog's energy level. -Safe & Controlled Walks: I use secure leashes and harnesses, remain attentive to surroundings (weather, other dogs, people), and practice positive reinforcement. -Tailored Exercise: Whether your dog needs a brisk power walk, a leisurely stroll, or time for sniffing and exploring, I adapt the walk to their individual needs and your preferences. -Hydration & Relief: Potty breaks are always a priority, and I ensure your dog has access to water during and after the walk, especially on warmer days. I always pick up after your dog. -Behavioral Awareness: I pay close attention to your dog's cues and behavior, ensuring a positive and stress-free experience. -Walk Updates: You'll receive a summary of our walk, including distance covered, potty breaks, and any notable observations or fun moments. By choosing me, you're choosing a dedicated and responsible pet care provider who genuinely cares for your beloved companions and respects your home. I look forward to meeting you and your pet family!

“After meeting Hailee, I felt very confident in our choice of pet sitters. She followed through on our instructions for our "less than social" cat. I will definitely hire her again.”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I'm currently working a full time job, however I still have plenty of time to watch your fur babies!! If anything changes I will let you all know ASAP!! I have two very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if needed, or I can separate my dogs from your dogs if needed. I also have toys for them to play with so they won't get bored.

“Emma was great. We’ll definitely use Rover again.”

“Michelle was prompt, and communicated clearly and openly. My cat, who is usually skittish around strangers, warmed up to Michelle right away.”

About: I have grew up with dogs all my life, and had a very demanding great Dane for eight years of his life, and I am now going through the journey of Owning a cat, I Shadowed in vet clinics before so I know a little bit and that Area. I love bathing animals as well. I’m not sure why but I’ve always wanted to be a pet groomer. I do have a full-time job, but am currently working to get a more animal centered job. I am currently available Saturday and Sunday anytime, and anytime after 7 pm weekdays. I personally believe I am a guest in the animals home so treating everything with respect and making sure I have my attention on the animal in the best way shape or form while giving them love and attention.

“Kristy did a fantastic job, I couldn't have asked for anyone better to check in on my cats and make them feel comfortable. She sent pictures and they looked very happy with her. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars!”

About: I've been around animals my whole life. In fact, I was born into a home with a dog, and caring for pets has been second nature ever since. I regularly care for my parents’ neighbor’s two dogs and cat, and I’ve helped out with pets for family friends over the years. I don’t have a pet right now, but I’ve helped take care of pets for friends and family. I make sure to stick to feeding times, walks, and playtime. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their specific instructions to make sure the pet stays comfortable and happy. This includes feeding, giving fresh water, cleaning up after them, and providing exercise or playtime based on what the pet needs. I also spend time with the pet to give them attention and make sure they feel safe while their owner is away. I always respect the home and keep everything clean and tidy

“Hailey was wonderful! She made sure my sky kitty was fed and taken care of while I was out of town. She’s polite, professional, and does great work. I’d definitely recommend her services!”

About: I bring a calm, friendly presence that helps pets feel safe and relaxed while their people are away. I’ve grown up with animals and currently care for a few clients’ pets in Eau Claire — including a 3-week stay with multiple pets. I know how important routines are, and I pride myself on clear communication, clean homes, and happy tails. Whether it’s a quick walk or a full house sit, I’ll follow your instructions to the letter and treat your pets like my own. I’m flexible, detail-oriented, and truly love getting to know each animal’s personality. My goal is always to create a stress-free experience — for both you and your furry family. Pet care can fit seamlessly into my routine. I currently bartend and this allows for more flexibility and available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, or house sitting throughout the week — your pet’s needs come first in my day! I have no pets at my home so my casa is your pets casa with no interference. At my 8 plex building there is a much area to run around if they can be off leash otherwise the area is great to walk for potty breaks at anytime. I live in a safe, quiet and less trafficked area which will be great for walks!

About: I’ve spent the majority of my life caring for animals of all kind. From medical care to a thorough cleaning, I’ve been trained on it all! Over the years I came to learn that animal care can definitely have its difficulties, but with a simple base of love, patience, and consistency, almost any animal can adapt and thrive! As an experienced pet owner myself, I understand completely the anxiety that can come with leaving the well-being of your furbaby in the hands of someone else. However, my goal and promise as a caregiver is to keep my clients eased and updated. Pictures/videos of your pet playing, napping, eating treats, etc will be provided upon request via text message— no additional charge! If you’re looking for someone who guarantees to provide a safe, positive, and loving environment for your pet, search no further and book with me! My weekdays and weekends are generally full of open time to dedicate to our furry friends! I’m very used to dealing with a fluctuating schedule, therefore I’ll be accepting same-day bookings as well as same-day cancellations. I’m always checking my messages! If I’m a guest in someone else’s home, I’m leaving it cleaner than it was when I walked in. 🫧 While I unfortunately can’t board pets at my own house for the time being, I absolutely CAN cover almost any other aspect of pet care! Aside from the in-home care I will provide, my car gets excellent milage so I can drive longer distances/plan fun, client approved activities for your pet!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life whether it was cats, dogs and even rodents. What really makes me different is my focus on creating a personalized experience for each pet. I take the time to learn their quirks, preferences, and any special needs they might have. Whether it's keeping a high-energy puppy entertained with engaging activities or providing gentle, attentive care to a senior pet, I tailor my approach to ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Plus, I'm always learning new things about pet care to provide the best possible service! I’m a college student and am currently working part time. My class and work hours are flexible and I should be able to accommodate any schedule. I live on a bike path so walks are very easy. I have 1 dog and 2 cats to keep your pet company, although I have a private area where our family pets don’t use and will still give optimal play space and/or room to be comfortable. If your pet needs to be crated that is also not an issue.

“We had never tried a pet sitter before but because of the length of our trip we wanted someone to check on our cat, Bogey, on a daily basis. Adrian did an outstanding job all 9 days seeing to his needs, both physical and emotional. Bogey became attached to her and loved cuddling with her. We are very pleased with the outstanding service she provided. We will definitely use Adrian again for any other trips we make. Highly recommended!!! Bev and Gil W.”

“First time that Amanda has taken care of my rabbits and everyone involved seemed to enjoy it. She was able to help me last min and followed my posted directions. Will contact her again next time I need help.”

“Leah took great care of my cat! He's on a raw diet, & she was very responsive and attentive to making sure he was cared for despite being new to feeding this diet like I was. My cat is very shy with new people, but warmed up to her quickly!”
