About: I've been around animals my whole life, from dogs and cats, to rabbits and birds, even goats and turkeys. I'm always happy to be around them, and am more than willing to make sure they're happy as well. My family always knows who to call when they need the critters taken care of, no matter what. I currently have open availability, from morning to evening, and weekends are open to all. Nothing better to start the day than a walk with man's best friend. I can't board pets in my apartment, and depending on the dog/client wishes in question I tend to let them follow their normal routine. I always make sure that they get plenty of exercise and fresh air.

I also have 2 one year old kittens ( Kuro and Kiko) .I have had dogs and cats for basically my whole life and have pet set for neighbors and family for years before I started collage.

About: Hi there! My name is Kali, and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and they’ve always been a big part of my family. We also had a cat in the house, so I’m comfortable around both furry friends! Spending time with dogs is something I truly enjoy, whether it’s going for walks, playing in the yard, or just relaxing together. I’m patient, responsible, and always happy to match the energy level of your pup, whether they’re playful or more laid-back. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs and I understand the different levels of care and attention each one needs. I’d love to meet your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! Now through the end of August, I’m local in Winona and work remotely most days. I commute to La Crosse only on Wednesdays (7:30 AM – 3:30 PM), so I’m very available in Winona the rest of the week. Starting in September, I’ll be commuting to La Crosse Monday through Friday, and will be available for pet care after work hours. I’m also available some weekends, and I’ll always keep my availability updated here so you know exactly when I’m free. While I won’t be caring for pets in my own home, I take pride in providing attentive, respectful care in your pet’s home where they’re most comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, crating, or anything else they need within reason. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’ll treat your home and animals with care and respect!

“Tramyra and Janny were incredible!!! They took such good care of our cat, and also provided frequent updates with photos of his daily activity before we ever had to ask. Our baby returned to us happy and healthy. Highly recommend them, and we look forward to using their services again in the future 😁”


About: I have had multiple pets throughout my life! I currently have a crazy staffy myself right now!! I have worked at a doggie daycare as well for about 3 years! I currently am working at Mayo Clinic! I always feed and let my pup out in the AM and sometimes on break if I have time I will visit him! After work we go for a walk if the weather is nice! I always let my pup out in the AM and a couples times in the afternoon so your pup would receive the same!! Walks are a must as well!

“Heather is a true cat-sitting superstar! She did an amazing job taking care of my furry friends, and I couldn't be happier with her services. Not only was Heather prompt and reliable, but she also made sure my cats were entertained and content during my absence. When I returned home, my kitties were purring with joy, clearly showing they had a blast with Heather. If you're in need of a top-notch cat-sitter, look no further. Heather is the real deal! five stars all the way!”


About: I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, fish and chickens. I can care for almost any animal with love and affection. I work remotely Monday thru Friday so I can care for your pet in my home during the week and I can do visits during the weekends I own my home. I have an extra large crate to accommodate any sized dog. I am more than willing to open my home and couch to your pet. 😂 Your rules are my rules. My yard has a large garden with many flowers and good things to sniff. And the local park has a stream and lots of wildlife.

About: I've taken care of my own and other pets for 10-15 years. I am able to deliver medication and I've taken care of senior dogs many times as well.

I can easily crate animals if needed. In a client's home, I can walk or drive animals to nearby places to allow them to exercise if preferred!

“Lauren took amazing care of my cats for me while I was out of town, both were perfectly happy and healthy when I got back, had plenty of food, water, and a spotless litter box. I highly recommend her, and if I need someone to stop by again sometime I will absolutely be coming back to her. The pictures and notes were extremely comforting, thanks Lauren, I really appreciate it!”

Sarah A.

“We have used Sarah as our dog sitter many times. Several times when we have come home from our vacation, we found our pups had been bathed and combed. We did not expect it. Sarah also spent many extra days to help us train our youngest pup. One example is that we needed help getting our pup to be comfortable with getting into and out of the vehicle and traveling with us on day trips. Sarah spent extra time with us helping to train our pup. Our dogs all love her and are very happy to see her when she stops by to visit.”
