About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 3-4 years. I have knowledge of cleaning, feeding, and walking dogs. Mostly my neighbors have asked me to pet sit, but I do have good experience. I’m currently working part-time at a nursing home, so I have plenty of time to pet sit. I’m going to college this fall and looking for some extra money. In your home I usually make sure that all the doors are locked so no one tries to break in, and I usually don’t let the animal I’m sitting out of my site.

Arianna is a wonderful, efficient, personal, and caring dog sitter. She stayed at my residence for a full week and did an excellent job of caring for my dog Tigger as well as frequently communicating, through texts and photos, regarding his care! She is caring, capable, responsible, and trustworthy. During her stay she and Tigger experienced severe storms and her attention to the safety of Tigger and herself was paramount as well as ensuring the care of my home. I highly recommend her as a sitter; she certainly deserved the 5 star rating!

Leora is a professional. She was excellent with my giant breed puppy, who can be a lot! She was trustworthy, left the house picked up; even washed her bedding and took out the garbage! It is nice not to have to worry about your pet or your home when you are gone. We will absolutely use her again!

Jody went out of her way to take care of my dog, Ama. She really connected with her and you can see that she has a lot of experience working with dogs and is very passionate about them. Ama really enjoyed their walks together. I felt so much better knowing my dog was being taken care of

About: I walk, feed, bathe, play, and always give pups lots of attention! Dogs are my favorite and I always enjoy making new dog friends. I enjoy every little thing I get to do with dogs. I don’t work many hours during the week. I am available most days of the week so I am always able to watch dogs when needed. I am home every night so I can watch them overnight. I have a very friendly puppy who loves other dogs and can be around multiple dogs. I always make sure that anyones dog is in a safe environment. I hardly ever leave them unattended and unsupervised. We go for walks very often when it is nice out. I take my puppy outside to go potty at least once an hour if not more. I always make sure everyone is fed and happy.

About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and genuinely love getting to know every pet’s unique personality. I grew up with Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers, spent lots of time with my grandparents’ Havanese and Italian Greyhounds, and currently have an Aussie mix of my own—so I’m very familiar with everything from high-energy zoomies to couch cuddles and stubborn little personalities. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, snuggles, or just having a calm and reliable person around, I’m happy to match their routine and comfort level. I’m dependable, communicative, and slightly obsessed with sending cute pet updates/photos while you’re away. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free. Looking forward to meeting your furry best friend! My schedule is very flexible since I work remotely and can work from anywhere in Wisconsin. This allows me to provide consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day instead of pets being left alone for long hours. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, house sitting, and overnight care during weekdays and weekends. I can also accommodate many last-minute bookings and adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s routine whenever possible. Whether your pet needs an early morning walk, midday company, or evening snuggles, I’m happy to help keep their routine comfortable and stress-free! I care for each pet as if they were my own, focusing on keeping their routine consistent, their environment calm, and their needs fully met while you’re away. For walks, I prioritize safety, exercise, and mental stimulation—letting dogs take their time to sniff and explore while making sure they stay secure and comfortable. For drop-ins and house sitting, I make sure feeding schedules are followed exactly, water bowls are fresh, litter boxes or potty areas are clean, and your home is left tidy. I’m especially attentive to each pet’s personality. Some pets want playtime and engagement, others prefer quiet companionship, and I adjust to whatever helps them feel most at ease. I also pay attention to body language and behavior changes so I can quickly respond if something seems off. You can expect regular updates, including photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: a safe, low-stress experience for your pet and complete peace of mind for you.
