“We love Molly!! Molly has been sitting for us for almost a year now, and I can’t even express how nice it is to have a consistent sitter who is as awesome as her. Our (sometimes fearful) pup LOVES her, and so does our kitty!”


About: I would love the opportunity to care for your pet, as I have 18 years of experience in animal care, training, socializing and grooming. I have worked with puppies and kittens, to large animals such as cattle and horses. I promise to provide emotional support, understanding, lots of playtime/ potty breaks, and a safe, calm environment for your pets. I currently work part time as a caregiver for the elderly. When I have time off, I love to spend it with my dogs and my horses. I plan to have a few days open weekly for pet care as I transition into a full time position for animal caretaking. Pets in my home have free range for activities, allowing them to express themselves at all times. Pets in my care will never be crated unless stated by the owner. I will abide by feeding times and rules set by owner, and will contact owner with questions or concerns. I will always maintain a safe and uplifting environment for pets, that includes lots of cuddles and free range on couches if that is a safe space for them. I am flexible with requests or special cares.

“We have used Jessica to house sit with our dog the last few times we were out of town. This time our flights were delayed an entire day and she was able to help us and stay another night to make sure our dog was cared for. Highly recommend her services!”


“Lily was great with our pups! She was extremely thorough and responsive while she stayed in our home watching our pups. She had great attention to detail and our house and pups were all in great shape upon our return! Overall great experience”


About: I've been around dogs my whole life and have even helped friends and family with their dogs. I even got help my best friend get her dog dressed up for her wedding! I currently have flexible work from home hours where I can come play with the fluff balls when needed. I am only unavailable Tuesday and Wednesday. I live in an apartment but on the edge of town and have a huge area to run the dogs when they need some exercise.

“Soo kind and patient with our 3 month old puppy. Cleaned up accidents (including washing and drying a throw pillow that our naughty pup decided to pee on) left our house spotless as if untouched. Very communicative and sent updates & photos throughout her stay! 10/10 recommend , will use again in the future!”


“Madeleine was great with our pets. She was communicative and took pictures during the stay. It appeared that almost all the instructions we had were followed perfectly and the pets seemed to have no issues when we were gone or when we returned. We would definitely use again.”

“Amanda was an outstanding sitter for my two dogs. One of my dogs is a senior and required a little extra TLC. Amanda kept me updated regularly and took some of the most beautiful photos of my pets! She was simply wonderful. I highly recommend.”


“Hannah house and dog sat for us for a week over the holidays while we were away. She was very responsive when setting up the arrangements - and we came home to happy pups and a clean house! She sent us several photos and updates during her stay and we always felt they were in great hands.”


“Very happy with Rebecca and the care she provided for our dogs and cats while we were away. She communicated daily, sent pictures and updates, and we felt very comfortable, and that our animals were in safe hands. We came home to a clean house and happy pets! Thank you again, Rebecca, definitely using you again in the future!!!”


About: I have had dogs my entire life, and have always been very good with my own dogs, along with other people's dogs (friends, family, neighbors.) I am currently in-between jobs after being laid off from a COVID testing facility and im looking for a way to get some supplemental income, and work with animals at the same time. I can accommodate essentially any pet needs, and am willing to work with the owners to best care for their dogs. I have two very friendly dogs.

About: I've taken care of many dogs and even more cats over the last 38 years. I love them and will love yours like my own. Semi retired looking forward to helping people out. I have a very flexible schedule and a very dog friendly home. We have one dog in the home sometimes too because I watch my daughter's dog. We have a big country yard, dogs would be monitored with a leash unless the dog is good at obeying commands. Big yard with walking trails.

About: Conveniently located 7 minutes from Wisconsin Dells (the map is not accurate), in the country on a few acres with a large fenced in area! I love taking care of pups in my home just as one of my own furry family members. I have a degree as a vet tech and in canine obedience and behavior! I have been boarding dogs in my home and pet sitting for over 25 years. I also ran a wonderful dog rescue for almost ten years giving me a wide variety of experience with many situations and behaviors. I love being able to help people with knowing their pup is in the best of care so you can enjoy your Vacation or not add more stress in a time of sorrow or whatever the situation may be that brings you to needing dog sitting! I also own my own business doing interior painting so have a very flexible schedule. I love being able to be flexible for you and for your pup I have a fenced in yard, can separate and/crate dogs as needed. I do offer for them to sleep with me at night and be spoiled. I will take them for rides, hikes, to the store all if applicable!

About: I’m sure all sitters say this but I genuinely have a seat for being with animals. Sometimes I prefer them over people and treat them like they’re my own. I love all of their personalities and quirks. Anywhere I go I ask to pet someone’s dog and respect what the dog’s body language is telling me. I have a Siberian husky so I have had to learn how to read body language and potential environmental stressors very well. I invest a generous amount of time into learning about dog breeds and am always opening to learning more! Currently, I am home for the summer and have been unable to get traditional employment due to a surgery in May. The surgery wasn’t serious but it required time off that traditional jobs wouldn’t offer. I have a car and have no problem going to and from the home. We have two levels in our home and would be able to offer separation from my dog. I have a yard with 4 friendly neighbor dogs and 2 parks within walking distance. Additionally, one of the parks offers a dog park.

About: I was raised on a farm so have been around animals my entire life. I feed per your provided schedule and will administer meds as needed and a how to from your expertise I have a daily part time job for a couple hours in the morning - can take care of your pets after that - can also stay all night - would leave in the morning for work - and come back to your place per your reservation instructions I do have a fenced in back yard if I feel your pet is a good fit with my 2 spaniels, otherwise, I will come to your home. I will feed per your provided schedule & spend quality time with your critters

About: Hello my name is Candida (Candi). I have worked in and with Rescues and Humane Societies throughout the State of WI over the last 30 years. I currently have 4 dogs and live out in the country with lots of room to run. I am very familiar with different behavior issues as well as how to work with your pets to get through those issues. This experience comes from fostering many high risk animals over the years. Your pet will be treated the same in my home as he/ she is treated in your home. If they go on your furniture, they are welcome on mine, etc. I am always willing to go the extra mile, if your pet needs a bath or a nail clip, I am happy to do that. I have experience with training, CPR, Giving Meds both by mouth and shot. Some of my friends lovingly call me the crazy dog lady because of my deep love for dogs, they have feelings and emotions just as we do and I always take that into consideration when caring for them. Given the opportunity I will show you that you can trust me to care for your baby while you are away just as you care for them when you are home. I currently work part time at my own small business so my schedule is super flexible and can be easily worked around your needs. This gives me the flexibility to give your pet all the time and attention they need while in my care. I have four dogs that are the sweetest babies. They get along great with all animals as well as kids. I do not have a fenced yard as we live on 80 acres out in the country, but I do have a portable temporary fencing that can be put up for outside time. We have a large area in the lower level of our home for inside play time. As I said earlier, when your pet is in my home, they will be treated just as they are when they are with you. I know how important routine is to their little minds. If you feed at a certain time, I will follow that routine. I know mine have a very set routine, they surely know when dinner time is. :o)

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, bunnies - you name it. I love animals & have experience caring for and spending time with plenty. Coming from an owner, I know our pets are our family and deserve the best care & fun! I am a student who also works first shift but has availability before and after! Availability every weekend as well! I don’t mind helping on holidays. Frequent dog park goer & walker! Would love to take more doggos with me. I am comfortable with crates. Communication is great - shoot me a message and I can accommodate!

About: Hi, I’m Chris! I’ve always loved being around dogs and have spent years caring for pups of all kinds — from high-energy adventurers to laid-back couch companions. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and I’m here to give them the attention, care, and exercise they need while you’re away. Whether your dog loves a long, brisk walk or prefers a slower, sniff-filled stroll, I’ll adjust to whatever makes them happiest. Their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first with me, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Regular walks do more than just burn energy — they help dogs stay healthy, ease anxiety, and keep them mentally sharp. Plus, it gives them a chance to explore, smell new things, and just enjoy being a dog. I’d love to meet you and your pup and be a part of their daily routine! I do a lot of running and trail running so if you have an active dog, we could have a lot of fun. But I also enjoy slow paced walks and just enjoying the environment. As I have had inside/outside dogs most of my life, I will always contain pets into the areas that are available for them but not a caged containment unless needed.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life.

Aliya O.
“Aliya has been an integral part of my success in raising and training service dogs for autism, PTSD, anxiety, diabetes, and guide dogs for the blind. At all hours of the day and night Aliya has assisted in the birthing process — nurturing, protecting, and bottle feeding brand new puppies. She has been called the “puppy whisperer” for years. Caring for dogs could not be a more organic fit for Aliya’s gift with animals. She would be at the top my short list of people I would trust with my babies.”
