“We couldn't be happier with Clarissa and how she cared for our dogs. She provided plenty of updates with photos and the dogs were obviously exercised plenty because they were worn out when we arrived home. We will definitely use Clarissa again when we need someone to watch our dogs!”

About: I have 2 dogs of my own. One currently being a 3 month old puppy. Patience is key. I sometimes watch up to 5 dogs at one time in my home, or at friend’s houses. My dogs LOVE new people and friends! We go for walks several times a day. I’m trustworthy, clean, respectful of your home and how much your furry friends mean to you! I have had years of experience pet sitting in other peoples homes from friends and family. I work Monday-Thursday day shift hours. Free on Fridays and most weekends. Evening walks or to pop in for potty breaks are best suited for my schedule during the week, but am flexible with work scheduling. I have 5 acres of farmette land, not fenced in but plenty of room to run. I also own several acres of woods and I take walks along the fence line to avoid being by the road. Can easily separate or crate pets as needed. I have an adult dog that free roams during the day and sleeps with me at night. And I have a puppy who is currently crate training.

“Amber is fantastic! Shows up on time, texts any questions, takes pics of my crazy pets and sends them while we are away. I know they’re in great hands when Amber is their sitter! Highly recommend Amber and will be hiring her again!”

11. Mya H.
“Mya boarded my 2 dogs for 10 days in my home. She is a kind person and my dogs love her. I could tell they missed her after we came home. They were looking in the spare bedroom where she stayed. Mya also watered the plants and got my mail. I highly recommend her if you need to board your pets. I will definitely use her again to care for my dogs. Thank you Mya!”

17. Rebecca B.
“Absolutely wonderful! We felt SO at ease with Rebecca watching our dogs--she clearly loves animals and is very thorough in collecting information and asking questions about what is needed. I could also tell our dogs loved her immediately and sure enough...when we left, Rebecca reported our pup was glued to her side the whole time :) FIVE STARS PLUS”
18. Lindsey D.
“Lindsey is an extremely kind and reliable person, and she works so well with everyone! Kids, pets, peers, you name it. She is an animal lover through and through with a lot of room in her heart especially to help take care of others.”
19. Sophie M.
About: I am new to professional pet care, but I have been around animals my entire life. 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!
20. Gillian W.
“Gillian has a special connection with animals (both cats and dogs), as well as other types of animals. Her compassion and sweet nature to all furry friends is evident in the way she interacts with and their reciprocal responses. It’s just part of her nature.”
