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
About: I grew up around dogs my entire life. I have 2 family dogs that I love with all my heart. I have extensive experience working with several dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I am also a part time foster for the Eau Claire Humane Society. I have worked at a dog boarding, daycare, and spa facility for 2 years. I am also currently in masters school at UWEC for Athletic Training. I have experience with dogs of all varieties. I love to take dogs on walks or out to parks. I am also more than willing to have a chill afternoon lounging with your dogs and giving them lots of love!!
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!

“Haley has a way with animals. My dog needed coaxing to welcome new people in her life. Haley was confident, kind and caring. Even my skittish cat is now her friend. I am very pleased with Haley's professional care and am most grateful to have her skill set.”
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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from puppy stage to senior dogs since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on my ability to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’ve pet sat and walked different pets such as bunnies, cats, and dogs, all of which I grew to love personally and always made sure to put their best interest to heart. I’m currently working part time this summer and mostly just trying to save up to pay my college tuition this school year. I’m available most weekends and nights. I do not a fenced home however I have a nice park in my neighborhood that your dog can run around and explore if permitted by the client. As for my clients home, I will always be sure to give your pet all my attention, love and care.
About: Ever since I was young there has always been animals in my house. It has always been my dream to adopt as many pets as my house can hold. Now with two cats and two dogs I'm running out of room in my home so I'd love to branch out and help other people care for their pets! I worked at the humane society for a couple years in college and learned a lot about pet care. It gave me experience with cats dogs and some small pocket pets. Everything from cleaning up after them to giving meds. I am currently working part time and would love to fill some of my off days by hanging out with your animals! Whether it be drop ins to let them out, take them for walks, or house sit for a couple days! One of my dogs can tend to be iffy with new animals so for now I am planning to stick with drop in, walking, and house sitting services.
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits and fish over the years. Personally, I’ve owned dogs, cats, and rabbits myself. Most notably I’ve cared for small breed dogs but I have plenty of experience with large breeds. Currently I’m waiting on starting my new job so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. Though I prefer overnighting or afternoon/evening care, I can do days as well. I can not care for pets in my own home. I live in an apartment and have little room for a pet to move around.

Fatty is a bulldog and doesn't get very far on her walks, but Raegan was patient and brought plenty of water for her. She even did a great job of giving her medication, which is not always easy.”

Laura A.
“Laura has been providing excellent in home pet care for my two dogs for the past year and a half and I couldn’t be more pleased with her services. From short weekend trips to stays as long as a month when I was overseas in Thailand, Laura has provided impeccable care and comfort for my two dogs, Mox and Charlie. I have never worried about anything when I have been away…she always sends regular updates about their activities, photos, and little videos about their adventures. When I return, my house is always clean and tidy, and the dogs are always super happy. I know they love her so much and are excited to have her come and take care of them when I leave town. I couldn’t recommend her services enough!”
Quinn M.
“Quinn has cared for my dog and watching her excitement and joy with pet sitting makes me feel so safe leaving my pup with her. Watching her with her own family dog also proved to me how good of a caregiver she is. She is also a registered CNA, and has a lot of experience caring for humans, further proving her ability to care for an animal. Quinn is sweet, funny, loves animals and has the biggest heart for dogs. She is reasonable and won’t let anyone down. If she sees a dog in public she will ask if she can pet it because she just loves animals so much. It is a privilege to know Quinn and my dogs are so happy when she stays over!”
