House Sitting in Bluff Siding

“Cali and Skylar did an amazing job with my fur babies. The ladies did an in-home sit and care for 4 nights at my home. I prefer in-home because my kitten is incredibly bonded to my pitbull, so keeping them together in their home environment is important to me. Cali and Skylar checked in with me often while I was away, usually 2-3 times a day, sending updates and photos of my animals and their play, adventures, and rest. Communication was very easy and they responded to messages promptly. They left my place clean and tidy, too. My animals were so well loved when I was away. I would definitely recommend their services to others; I’ll certainly be using them again when I travel.”

“Excellent dog sitter! I couldn't recommend Isabelle more to watch and spoil your pets! She is easy to communicate with, professional, considerate and very self sufficient. I will definitely book her again when we need a sitter!”

About: We’re Pawz & Play! We offer dog & cat boarding, weekend daycare, drop in visits, dog walking, and house sitting in Winona, MN. We operate on a small-scale, only taking a maximum of 2 pups or one family’s pets at a time. Erica is an aspiring dog groomer & trainer who someday hopes to have her own facility. Ciara is working on getting her bachelors and is the primary person on drop in visits. We have two medium sized young dogs who love to play & get along great with playful pups of all ages and sizes as well as an older small dog who does great with calmer pups. All dogs are assessed for play style and comfort level before being split into play groups. One of us is home the majority of the time and we incorporate your pets into our girls’ daily routine or we can do a rotation schedule if they’re not a fan of group activities. Our fenced in back yard has a good size dog run within the fence just for pups and the rest of the yard includes the chickens & rabbits in their own runs as well as a small patio, hammocks, and garden beds. Whether in your home or ours, we are happy to serve your pets whatever food you’d like including homemade, raw, canned food, or kibble. We just ask that it be premade so we need only measure out the amount and feed your babies.

“Ashley was great. Very thorough and took great care of Dove. She took excellent notes to make sure Dove had everything she needed to a T. I highly recommend Ashley and would book again in the future.”

About: I have taken care of a multitude of pets throughout my life, especially dogs of various sizes and breeds. Pets aren't just pets, they're family and I really truly resemble that through my care. I know how to care for your pets to keep them happy and healthy. I am a current college student with only a couple classes (maximum) a day, leaving me with lots of time to schedule for the rest of my day. I am easily able to frequently care for your furry friend as much as desired, and have lots of time to give them walks and belly rubs. I treat all animals that feel comfortable with lots of love and pets, and care for them like they're my own. I do not pull on the leash while walking, never punish with physical force, and treat all pets like family. I also respect everyone's homes and places of living, and will leave it just the same or better than when I came.

About: Although I am newer to dog sitting, I have stayed at family and friend’s homes with their dogs multiple times in the last year including following feeding schedules, walking, playing fetch, and more. I love to play fetch with dogs and sometimes end up enjoying it more than they do. I have a high energy personality that is also nurturing and sweet. I personally one day want at least one dog of my own so this is good experience in and of itself to learn about different breeds. I would love to get to know your dog :) I do work a job 8-5pm during the weekdays, but am open on the weekends and would be willing to stay the night at your home. I offer checking up on your dog during my open breaks during the day, playing fetch, walking your dog, pee breaks, and following a feeding schedule that you have. I am also open to learning new skills that you are open to teaching me and that are within your comfort.

“Emma did a great job watching my two dogs! She was very responsive from the start and extremely flexible. She sent me detailed updates and pictures daily. It is very evident that Emma has a true passion for animals. I highly recommend Emma and would definitely have her watch my dogs again!!”

“Abbey & Joe were great. We appreciated that they always responded to messages very quickly and after meeting both of them during the pre-care meet & greet, we felt confident our dog & home would be in good hands. We will definitely reach out to them again.”

About: I've trained service dogs and grew up with a lot of labs. I have always had a pet in my home from hamsters to horses on the ranch! Love animals from small to large. I am currently working part time with pets. I can work any day of the week including weekends! Would like to eventually make pet sitting a full time job! I have two large dogs at home that are loced in so many ways! Spoiled to the limit! The best boys I have been blessed with!

About: I raised and since have consistently cared for my mom’s dog for the last 7.5 years. Additionally, friends and family have regularly asked for me to assist them with dog care. I have watched, walked, and spent the night with their pets. I have lots of energy and am capable of giving energetic dogs proper exercise through walks and/or play. I am also capable of relaxing and giving the proper care to pets that are more relaxed and need less exercise. I work from 7:30-4 every day, Monday through Friday, and am able to care for pets outside of this schedule, before or after the shift starts. I give lots of love and attention, but I do not force the dogs into uncomfortable situations. I allow them to communicate to me with their needs. I also have the capacity and am eager to play as much as the dog likes.

About: I have grown up taking care of Chow Chows! Friends and neighbors have also counted on me to look after there pets. Let me know if I can help you out as well! I'm currently working a part-time job so I have plenty of available time to look after your pets! My job depends on the weather but regardless I'll do my best to fit your schedule. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood with lots of room for excercise! However, depending on your pets personality they can also just lay around a comfortable yard.

“Jacque was wonderful while staying with my puppy Atlas for the weekend! She provided me with great updates and pictures. I could tell Atlas really liked her and he was the same happy, sweet pup when I returned home!”

About: Hi there! My name is Kali, and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and they’ve always been a big part of my family. We also had a cat in the house, so I’m comfortable around both furry friends! Spending time with dogs is something I truly enjoy, whether it’s going for walks, playing in the yard, or just relaxing together. I’m patient, responsible, and always happy to match the energy level of your pup, whether they’re playful or more laid-back. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs and I understand the different levels of care and attention each one needs. I’d love to meet your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! Now through the end of August, I’m local in Winona and work remotely most days. I commute to La Crosse only on Wednesdays (7:30 AM – 3:30 PM), so I’m very available in Winona the rest of the week. Starting in September, I’ll be commuting to La Crosse Monday through Friday, and will be available for pet care after work hours. I’m also available some weekends, and I’ll always keep my availability updated here so you know exactly when I’m free. While I won’t be caring for pets in my own home, I take pride in providing attentive, respectful care in your pet’s home where they’re most comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, crating, or anything else they need within reason. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’ll treat your home and animals with care and respect!

“Michelle took great care of our two dogs and one cat while we were away. Our dogs felt comfortable around her right away. Michelle was flexible and communicative.”

About: My name is Ashley, I’m 26 years old and am a school social worker. I recently moved to the Winona area. I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have my own dog who is 4. I have also house and dog sat for multiple dogs. I’ve had dogs in my family ever since I could remember and I enjoy spending time with them. What better way to make money by doing something I love? I currently work full-time in a high school. I work a regular schedule so my availability shouldn’t change much besides opening up more in the summer. I have room and space to spread out and am very active, so I enjoy walking and being outside. I do keep my dog separate from dogs that I care for.

About: I’ve taken care of all different types of pets for many years. I am responsible and respectful. I make sure that each animal is loved and cared for. I am currently working part time and have a lot of downtime that could be filled do something like this. I am always looking to improve my work experience! Feel free to reach out! I have two loving dogs and a huge backyard yard. If any animal needs to be kenneled, that is no problem. Feel free to reach out!
