House Sitting in Barron

About: Animals have been a huge part of my entire 24+ years of life and will always continue to be. I grew up in a household with multiple pets in the family at any given time. Along with that, I now have two cats of my own and a very handsome Great Pyrenees/Lab Mix. They are my world and everyday I have to stop myself from adding to my little family. I love animals and believe they should all be spoiled during their short time on Earth. I've had general experience with multiple types of pets and I'd love to help spoil your pets while you're away! I start and end my day taking care of my animals. I work full time during the week at an animal hospital so most week days I am not able to visit during the day but can always check in before and after work hours (lunch break is sometimes an option as well). In your home I strive to follow your animals specific usual routine as much as I'm able. If they are being watched in my home, they are separated from my animals but are allowed to roam the majority of the house. Back yard is unfenced so they will be kept on a leash while outside at all times.

“Marissa was wonderful with Jackson! She kept me informed and shared pictures while we were away. She was also house sitting for us which made our vacation worry free! I will definitely use Marissa in the future.”

“Jenny put up with our ridiculous Frenchies and even collected eggs from the chickens each day. The house was in the shape we left it and she communicated each day with updates. Would recommend!”

“Alec and Buddha were awesome! The communication, videos, and pictures while we were gone provided a great level of comfort. Alec also did some work with training our puppy during his stay AND we know she had a fun time while we were away - they definitely worked hard and played harder! And as an added bonus, the house was perfectly clean when we returned! Looking forward to booking Alec again in the near future.”

About: I have over 18 years of experience house and animal sitting from overnights to up to 6 weeks in duration; caring for not only dogs but also horses (full boarding barn to a couple of pasture horses), cats, fish, rabbits, goats, chickens, etc. I know what it's like to worry about my pets when I'm away, so I strive to give top notch care, follow all instructions, and have fun with your dog! All while keeping you updated with pictures/texts on how they're doing. I am happy to provide most any dog/house sitting arrangement, walking/visit or boarding. At our country home we have a peaceful and fun environment and private large field that is kept mowed. Your dog will be supervised very closely. Non smoking home. Thank you for considering me; I hope you have a great day! I am a stay at home mom to one and I am home most or all of the day. We are very flexible but also stay on schedule and can accommodate your dog's routine. We live in the country and have ample space for private walks as well as a large mowed field. I supervise very closely and am diligent about keeping your dog as safe as possible on leash while still having fun and exercising. I will feed and take dog out following all instructions.

“Hannah is a repeat sitter for us and is great! Gives us lots of updates and has great, quick communication! Both our dogs seem to love her attention and she is great at getting their energy out!”

About: I have tons of experience growing up with dogs of all breeds, recently moved out of my parents and missing mine, but I’ll love yours! I currently work full-time in rice lake. My schedule is pretty flexible but prefer early morning or late afternoons. I work every other weekend, I’m willing to board on my off weekends if needed. I live in an apartment so I don’t have much of a yard nor a fence but there are plenty of places to explore in town. A dog park near by is a plus!

“My dogs loved Mary and she provided me updates so I knew they were doing well.”

I am fortunate to be able to offer individualized and consistent care in your home. Living in Wisconsin and commuting to the Twin Cities allows me to serve pets and their families in many areas. You dog is always welcome to come along for the ride! I am currently home full time and widely available for care. My day can most often be dedicated to or scheduled around caring for your pet! I diligently follow directions for care. Depending on the pet and their needs, I adapt my care style to make them as comfortable as possible.

About: I have lived with animals of all kinds for as long as I remember, ever since I was about 5 I would help my parents feed and take care of the animals, and I still help with many thing weither it's bathing, taking on walks, giving hair cuts, giving vaccinations, cutting nails, or giving medication of all sorts. I am currently a senior in high school so on weekdays I have to wait till 4:00 to love your fur-babys as much as you do. I will give your fur-babys the same care and love as I give my pets at home, while also meeting your specific care expectations to keep your fur-babys safe and happy.

“Jessica was awesome to work with! Her communication was excellent and she really put us at ease that our dogs were in great hands! We had a series of illnesses between both dogs right before her stay and she did great at making sure they got their medications! We came home to 2 happy and spoiled dogs!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience and genuine love for dogs. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old, so I have a deep understanding of their needs and behavior. I've had dogs from all ages, from puppies to senior dogs and it allows me to tailor my services to meet the unique needs of each pet. This blend of experience and expertise makes me a compassionate and reliable choice for any pet parent. I currently work full time out of the home, but close to home. I have a flexible schedule where if needed I can go home to give potty breaks, give treats and play with for a while. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment. I ensure they have plenty of space to roam, play, and relax. I provide regular potty breaks, feeding, and lots of attention, keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. For clients who prefer care in their own home, I offer drop-in visits or overnight stays. I maintain the pet’s regular schedule and provide companionship, playtime, walks, and feeding just as if they were in my own home. This option is ideal for pets who prefer the comfort and familiarity of their home environment. No matter where I care for pets, I ensure they get lots of love, exercise, and individualized attention!

I currently work at a dog training center and am continuing my education in order to help families resolve bigger behavioral issues with their dogs. I LOVE dogs. Force and fear free basically means that I only use positive reward methods to achieve my goals with dogs. I work part-time while attending school, so I’d like to use my available time to gain as much more dog care experience as I can. I will play with and positively interact with your dog for our entire time together. I LOVE dogs and greatly value the time I spend with them.
