House Sitting in Birnamwood

“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!”

“She was awesome! Sent us lots of pictures of our pup and cat, kept track of when our pup went out and what she did outside, and when/what they ate. Most importantly, our pets seemed very happy in her care. Definitely would like to book with her again!!”

“Nicole is one of our favorite repeat dog sitters for our guy Miko. He was so excited to see her the last time she watched him. She provides lots of updates and pictures. We know Miko is in good hands when she’s watching him.”

About: We are an active family with 3 children (and one on the way) who love to play outside, take long walks, and even run with our dog. Animals are well-loved in our home and welcome on the furniture. I would love to include your pet in any exercise needs as well! We are available for walking pets before 8 am and after 4:30 p.m. every day. I can also do mid-day drop-ins if located in the Wausau area (best if northeast side of Wausau as I work in the Industrial park or near Merrill since my husband works there). We have a 2000 sq foot house, so there is plenty of room for more pets to house overnight. My kids absolutely love playing ball and walking the dog, too! We have an energetic black lab who loves to play. I believe in being active and playing as much as possible with my family (but am totally ok watching dogs who love to nap :) ).

“Madelyn took such great care of my boy! She was amazing at communicating with me and always provided a morning and evening update. 12/10 recommend!🫶🐶❤️”

About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats aswell as many other animals for many years! I know how to groom, bathe and clip nails, I make my own collars too so i’d love to make one for your pets! I know how to train aswell when it comes to both cats and dogs, knowing i’ve pet sat for family and friends since i was young it grew on me for training them! I can trick, potty, behavior train too! I take care of my own pets everyday! i find it relaxing and enjoyable, it brings me great joy to spend time with animals and gives me a sense of purpose! I love to make sure everything is clean and tidy, dishes are clean as well as the animals, making sure they have what they need and have quality enrichment time.

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Ever since I was young I’ve had a dog in the house, to me your dog is your family and I strive to treat all my animals like family members. As of now I have a pretty open schedule including weekends. As for drop in visits I prefer to keep them in the Wausau area I can provide a crate/kennel for your dog if needed. I have a French Bulldog that is very high energy and excited when new people/dogs arrive, he is very vocal but he is friendly.He is more standoffish with people but does great with dogs. He is up to date on vaccinations and neutered. I have a large partially fenced in yard.As far as drop in visits I am able to make 2-3 visits a day to your home.

“Being a first time user, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. They were excellent, kept me updated, sent pictures and videos throughout their stay. Will definitely be using them again!”

“Katie is such a professional and took great care of our Belle in our home while we were out of town. There aren’t a ton of sitters that have experience house-sitting vs. boarding so we felt so lucky to have found Katie. She checked in multiple times per day with photos and updates. We knew Belle was well taken care of and was getting walked and played with each day. She even brought the mail in each day and left notes on Belle’s daily activities. We look forward to Katie helping us again in the future!”

About: My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I have had dogs in my family since I was 10. I have a flexible schedule and work part-time, so I can work with many other time requests and schedules. I can care for your pet on weekends also. I have a very large yard for your dog to play in and I have 2 friendly dogs to keep them company. I can crate your pet also if needed.

About: I’ve grown up with many different kinds of animals from dogs to bunnies & hamsters. I’ve also been around cats my entire life we just never had one in the house because my mom was allergic. I love animals as they have been my entire life growing up! I have been dog sitting for a year now, since January 2025 Pet care takes place in my everyday life because I have an 8-year-old dog and just got a puppy recently. I love to take them on walks and play with them outside. I also love teaching them new tricks and making sure they have fresh food and water. I can take your dogs on walks if they need them daily. I would also love to play with them to keep them entertained and get there energy out. If your dog sleeps in the bed no worries I love to have a snuggle bug next me.
