About: I have cared for many pets since I was very young. I am experienced with even medically needy animals. Animals are my passion. Their love is unconditional and so is mine for them. I work a flexible schedule so I can work most anything work. Long trips, short trips, regular schedule. You name it I’ll make it work. Working in clients home is preferred over using my own home. Helping your pet to feel comfortable is my main priority and keeping their environment consistent will help that.

About: I have pretty open availability and do not travel that often. I have two small dogs that are playful and energetic. For as long as I can remember, dogs have been part of my life and have gotten me through anything that has ever happened to me. Bad or good. Dogs aren’t considered pets, they are family and I promise to treat your family member with the respect and love you would give yourself. I not only want to cuddle and play with your furry friend, but gain a bond. A friendship. My partner works from home as well. I would love to take any dog in my home while you are away, to either play with me or play with my very own bundles of energy, Coco and Brulee! Please let me know if I can help you out at any time! I do work M-F but have weekends off. My partner works from home and is home all day long. I do have a decent lunch and get off by 5 every day. I would feed your pups on your schedule. I take the time and energy needed to play, nourish and allow your dog to run if needed. Dogs are family and I intend on treating them this way.

“Becky is awesome! She was graciously available last minute to walk my dogs and was on time, let them go at their normal pace and sent me pictures! Would highly recommend Becky to take care of your fur babies ?”

About: I’ve had a dogs in my life, since I was a child, and was introduced to cats as I ventured into the collegiate life. As an adult I have cared for dogs primarily, but recently had the opportunity to take care of the sweetest cats! I am fairly patient with pets and like to give them as much space as they like to try to not mess up the routines, but if they are balls of energy and cuddle bugs, I am more than happy to comply! I believe that walks and healthy roaming space is good for a dog’s, development and energy, and respecting a cat to make the first move to ensure respect and comfort to their environment. I am a work from home, travel, business owner, and therefore have a lot of flexibility on my hands to be able to work anywhere! I like doing research on the neighborhoods that I’m going into if it’s a new area, and like to understand what you have available, either a dog park, or a fenced backyard, to really understand how to best care for your dog. My dog is a big ball of energy so I have learned a lot of skills to be able to make sure that they stay in their assigned spaces, I do like to keep them with me on my lap as I work, or nearby letting them enjoy a nap.

“Shannon does excellent work and I recommend her anytime someone talks about their dogs! We were having issues after introducing a new dog into our home. She quickly surmised what the problem was and worked with us on a solution. Shannon did a heck of a job training us and our dogs. She has also become our go to dog sitter which leads to much less stress when we go on vacation!”

“Sierra has always gone above and beyond for me. She drove 45 minutes out of her way to pick up my dog for his grooming appointment. She comes over to let him out at the drop of a hat. She works on holidays. She really does it for the love of the pets.”

About: I’ve never met anyone as passionate about living creatures or life in general as I am. Working with living things also makes me feel alive. I’m a college student with basically no job so I have all the time in the world for animals and their owners alike. Hoping to get a job at the dog shelter near me! Dogs require a special type of love that isn’t always given to them by any random stranger. Cats even more so. The goal is to build a trust with the animal in a way that they can recognize a mutual respect. I’ve had many cats that aren’t “people cats” love me and not be able to leave me alone.

“Samantha watched my dogs for many years before moving to Baraboo. She loved taking them for walks and getting to know their personalities! I would definitely recommend her to watch other pups at her house which has a huge yard and two lovable fur friends to play with!”

About: I have had and cared for pets my entire life. Ever since I was 10, family and friends have always had me walk, feed, bathe and even train their pets. I am currently working part time and doing school online. I have a lot a free time to care for pets and would love to meet yours! I have a dog and 2 cats at home. I love to meet new pets and go for walks in new neighborhoods. I am very responsible and caring especially when it comes to animals!

“Lexi is one of the best people I know. Both in terms of a friend and a pet owner. Her pets (dogs, rats, and a bunny) are very well taken care of and so loved. She is caring and compassionate to both the humans and animals in her life. She is one of the only people I trust with my pets when I am gone. I know that they not only will be spoiled in my absence, but loved as well.”
