House Sitting in Blanchardville

“Marjorie was an excellent dog sitter. Very friendly and great with our dogs. She made it easy for us. We highly recommend.”

About: I have several years of experience caring for many different types of animals. I have been a cat owner my whole life, so am very comfortable caring for cats (indoor or outdoor) in any capacity. I have previous experience dog-sitting for both small and large dogs, as well as senior dogs. I have experience providing drop-in visits for potty breaks, walks, feedings, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications, playtime, extra cuddles, as well as staying overnight to provide daily care for pets whose owners are out of town for multiple days. I also have some experience checking in and feeding farm animals such as chickens, guineas, farm cats, and cows. I am a big animal lover that has been around animals my whole life. I would love to give you peace of mind when you are away from home to know your pets are being looked after and well cared for! Currently a full-time college student and working part time in the Madison area. I have a flexible schedule so can do drop-in visits or stay overnight with pets if you live within a decent commuting distance to Madison. Comfortable caring for many different types of animals. I can provide most anything from a quick check-in, to an overnight stay if feasible. I am able to provide walks or outdoor time for dogs, comfortable cleaning litter boxes or other pet cages, and can even administer medications if needed too.

“Jorden was excellent! They clearly communicated throughout our trip and took great care of our dog and house. Will definitely book them again. They also sent the cutest pictures. ☺️”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I don’t remember a time without them. I have worked with a lot of animals that needed medications for healthcare problems. I do currently work a full time job and a volunteer job but I am looking to expand my horizon and spend more time with animals. My pets have a fenced in yard at home, I do also have a barn that I love to take the dogs out to to run at.

“Rhandee did a great job with our pups and was very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dogs prior to our trip, which was super appreciated. We would definitely book her again!”

“Matt is excellent! He's very communicative, sends the cutest photos each day, and is very professional. He goes out of his way to be accommodating and my dogs love him!”

“Best dog sitter ever! Was patient with me and our two energetic dogs! Georgie and sassy loved her! Definitely would recommend and rebook with her again!❤️”

“Amanda was a godsend when our house sitter cancelled last minute. We met her first then her with her dog, Sedona, and I knew right away this would work out really well. You see my dog, Millie, doesn’t warm up to people easily and doesn’t always play nice with other dogs but Millie instantly liked both of them. Amanda stayed at our house along with Sedona, so Millie was spoiled having her two new friends stay with her. They went on many walks and Amanda sent me lots of pictures while we were gone. I will definitely use Amanda again!”

“Samuel was fantastic! Our two dogs and cat were well cared for, and the house was spotless — he even washed the sheets and towels. Highly recommend and will book again.”

“Amber was able to watch my two dogs at my home with very short notice. She was very responsive, kind, and easy to work with. I came home to two happy pups after a weekend away and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: I have raised and cared for many animals throughout my lifetime ranging from dogs, cats, kittens, cows, raccoons, guinea pigs, bunnies, and fish! There is no animal too big, small, or sassy for me! I love them all! I have experience with bottle fed, new born animals, pets with different feeding patterns in the same house, delivering medicine to pets (including via syringe), outdoor supervision, and caring for temperamental animals. My own dogs are a pitbull and Doberman respectively, so I know firsthand that a breed or size does not define an animal! I am here to provide exceptional care to your fur babies regardless of shape, size, age, or attitude! I work various part-time jobs around the Mount Horeb/Middleton area, but would almost always be available for morning, afternoon, and evening care! If planned a few days in advance, I can accommodate most needs! I believe in following instructions carefully, especially when it comes to animals. While I strive to create a relationship with the animals I care for, my main priority is to listen to the advice and instructions of the pet parents to ensure I am prepared and aware of their pet’s unique characteristics and needs. Nobody knows an animal like their owner, and I am dedicated to doing as told when it comes to animals—especially considering the trust the owners have in me!

About: Hi! I’m Kasi and I live in Mineral Point, WI I've grown up with pets my entire life. After losing my dog Lacey in 2021, it's felt quite strange not having a pet close by. I've taken care of both dogs and cats for over 4 years. Neighbors family and friends have counted on me to walk, feed, and make sure they go to the bathroom. I also work part time at a local pet daycare center so I've gotten to know pets very quickly. Each pet I've cared for has left their pawprint on my heart in some way shape or form-and forever will! I currently work remotely in Mineral Point, and also work full time for a non profit organization. I am able to stop by if you ever need me to. I have stayed at family homes to provide care for pets. I adhere to any instructions provided by each pet owner to ensure they maintain the same schedule before, during and after my stay. I ensure to maintain constant communication with pet owners, and let them know how their pet is doing.

“What a great experience!! Manu is great, Paco was so well cared for in his own home. Manu took the time to meet him and then to tend to his needs while caring for him. She always kept in touch and took beautiful pictures. I am happy I found Manu. Will certainly go back to her. I highly recommend her. Thanks Manu!!!!”

“Karina did a wonderful job looking after our cat for a long weekend. We came back to a relaxed cat and a house in perfect order. Thanks, Karina!”

About: I lived on a farm when I was a little one. Later, I was a trusted house sitter for relatives when they traveled (watching the home and taking care of 2 dogs and 2 cats). I owned my own cat for 15 years. I've taken care of farm animals but not on a regular basis. I'm competant with delivering meds and being really careful with senior pets and those needing special care. I'm one of those people who talk to pets like they are people. I can be there for the extra play and snuggles puppies need, but I think the initial potty training should be by their owner. I carefully listen to the owners and what their schedule is like. Then I morph my schedule to be very close to that so the routine is similar with me and their pet. I adhere to the pet owners instructions. I make myself available for the pet so we learn to trust each other. I show lots of affection, if the pet wants to receive it. If not, I can give them space.

About: I think something, I can proudly say is that I have people meet me once and trust me to watch their pets. I’ve had pets and I have taken care of friends and families pets since I was 12. Truly bonding with my pets was the highlight of my childhood, an experience that I know not every child is fortunate to have. I’ve seen my dog from puppyhood to his frosty senior days. The care is different of course, diets and lifestyle routine slow down and more careful attention is needed. Love is another key, all animals are deserving of being treated with respect and kindness. That includes the animals in the forest, since I work outdoors I see a lot of birds and critters and each one’s life is valued and admired. Like my job, the environment of the pet is important. Keeping the food and water bowl clean, is something I find some families neglect but I find that to be a little disheartening as you would not like to drink out a dirty water glass Services offered * 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day * 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away * Basic House-Siting include staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles I currently work outdoors for Ice Age Trail Alliance, and unable to commit to the time for a long term companion, however I have just enough time to spoil and love on other people’s adorable pets :) Truly, the most important aspect of pet care is the establishing the safety and security of your pet. The initial meeting with your pet, getting familiar and making sure the pet feels like they can trust their caretaker is crucial. That establish trust between caretaker and pet, allows me to ensure the best case scenario for your pet. Whether it be, trusting you on a walk or worse case scenario luring your pet from under the bed or loosing the lead for a second. I offer comfort of house sitting or walking your pet to ensure their routine is uninterrupted. :)

“Ana did a great job with Willow. She pictures daily and reassured me Willow was good. Ana is professional and loving. Ana was also very flexible with me when I needed an extra night last minute. I will definitely be booking with Ana again!”

“Anali was great. She provided us with photos and detailed updates about our 2 dogs and was prompt with replies if I had a question. She is very friendly and energetic. I would definitely seek her services again.”
