Cat Sitting in Colfax

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely love being around animals. I’ve cared for my own dogs as well as pets for friends and family, so I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout the day. My experience includes daily walks, trips to the dog park, playtime in the backyard, feeding routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, lots of affection, or a calm, relaxed environment. You can trust that your pet will be treated like part of the family while they’re in my care. I have a very flexible schedule and am home most of the time, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, including weekdays and weekends. Because I’m home often, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can easily adjust to their normal routine, whether that’s frequent potty breaks, regular walks, or extra playtime. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I have two dogs of my own, a Beagle/Heeler and a teacup Yorkie. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special needs to ensure they receive personalized care. I’m attentive, patient, and keep a close eye on pets at all times, whether we’re indoors, outside, or on walks. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: Hi there! My name is Michelle and Ive been a pet owner since I was a child. My family always had dogs, cats, pocket pets, and the occasional tarantula. Im the niece of a large animal veterinarian whose clinic I volunteered at after school and summers. Currently my husband and I are owned by a Labrador Retriever and an English Setter. We are active with a national English Setter rescue, which is where our beautiful boy came from, and run volunteer transports of dogs on their way to foster or forever homes. Im semi-retired! My routine is whatever it needs to be from day to day. Im a firm believer in being flexible to meet the situation's needs. Your pets would never be alone. We also have 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company and walks, along with outdoor play would help with mental stimulation.

“I felt really good about having Leah come in to provide care for my cat Lizzy. We did a meet and greet prior to the scheduled care and went through Lizzy's routine and where everything was. It takes a little while for Lizzy to warm up to someone new, and it seems that she did warm up to Leah. Really appreciate the pictures that Leah sent of Lizzy while I was gone. Very happy with her care.”

About: Hi there! I’m Destiny & have owned an array of furry friends over the years. I have never NOT had a pup and have owned many different breeds. Currently I own cattle dogs- an Aussie named Marley and Heeler/Collie mix named Sadie. They are 4, I trained them myself & they are extremely well behaved and socialized. I offer boarding, day care, dog walking, and can bathe your pup before returning them home to you. I can also pick up and drop off when needed. I can also house sit and pup sit if that is your need/comfortability as well. I am up for & encourage meet & greets before bookings if you would like to meet myself, the pups and/or see the house and our setup before hand! I work during the normal school year as a nursing instructor. I am off during the summer and am home FULL TIME to dedicate ALL of my time & attention to the fur babies! I promise your baby will be tuckered out, loved on and well fed (to your instructions of course!) Boarding at my home: safety is my top priority with animal to animal interaction and human to animal interaction. If pups need more alone time/privacy, they can be housed separately from my dogs at all times as we have multiple access points from our home to our fenced in yard and gate sectioning in our house. I do walks daily with them and am outside with them as well for the majority of the day. Our fenced in yard has a dog pool and I have BUCKETS of toys for them to play with! If your pup leans toward the spicier side & is more protective when it comes to their toys, food, or water please let me know and separation accommodations can be made, no problem. All breeds are different and each pup is different. I can also give medications topically, orally, injections etc. I can provide hourly updates through text, video call, phone calls, whatever you would like! At minimum I send a daily update. In your home: as a nurse, safety is always my top priority. I am also extremely clean and organized. I can maintain your daily routine with your pup so they don’t miss much while you are away. Again, meet and greets I encourage so you and especially your pup are comfortable meeting me and being in your home. I’ll be their make-shift auntie while you are away! Whatever update/care you want them to have, you got it- even FaceTime dates so you don’t have to miss them much.

About: Hi! I’m a big animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs, cats, and any other pets! I’m happy to match your pet’s energy and routine. My family has always had pets growing up, and I’m always the one seeking out the pets at any gathering. I love earning their trust, making them feel comfortable, and making a new furry friend. While I don’t have any pets of my own right now, I absolutely adore all of my family’s pets whenever I get to see them or care for them! I work as a barista during the days, typically a 6 hour shift sometime in the morning or during the day. Whenever I am not on shift I will be able to care for your pets! My schedule varies occasionally so if you aren’t sure if a day will work, please reach out! When caring for pets, I focus on making sure they are happy, comfortable, and feel loved. I take the time to learn about each pet so I can match their energy and routine. I make sure they get plenty of attention whether that be through playtime or cozy snuggles, and follow all of their care instructions.

About: I have worked for roughly two years dog sitting for friends and family. Typically these have been in my own home - occasionally overnight. I have a fenced in back yard for my 3 dogs & 2 cats so I have experience with both :) I have complete availability currently, so my dog at home gets quite a lot of walks and park time. If possible, i also try to socialize him with people each day. Typically I take my dog to the dog park in the evening with a long walk in the morning. This works best for my dogs energy levels, but each dog is different. I am also trying to socialize my dog in public as he is a bit scared of humans so we try to hit some breweries here and there.

About: grew up with both dogs and cats, and animals have always been a big part of my life. For the past five years, I’ve fostered golden retrievers, which has given me experience with pets of all personalities, ages, and needs. I’m a teacher, and my husband works from home, so we have a very flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention and companionship for your pets. We don’t currently have pets of our own, which makes it easy to focus fully on yours. We recently moved to the area, and I’m excited to start connecting with families and get my “pet fix” again. Your pets will be cared for with patience, love, and experience. Looking forward to meeting your furry family members! 🐾 I am available anytime before 8am or after 4 pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. However, my husband works from home so he has more flexibility if we are boarding your lovable pet. Your pet’s safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. With no other pets in our home, all of our love and attention will be focused entirely on your furry family member. I’m a former foster for both dogs and cats, so I bring plenty of knowledge and experience with different breeds, personalities, and special care needs. I’m also comfortable giving medications as needed. We have great walking paths around our neighborhood and a fenced-in dog park nearby, giving your pet lots of opportunities for fresh air and exercise.

About: provide loving, experienced care for your dog, drawing from a lifetime of owning pets and growing up with a mom who’s a professional dog groomer. Whether it’s playful puppies or gentle senior dogs, your pet will feel right at home with me. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, as I work part-time at night, allowing me to dedicate my daytime hours to caring for your pets. Balancing school and family life has taught me exceptional time management, ensuring your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes to ensure your pets remain comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care needs, to give your pets the best experience possible.

About: My wife Courtney and I grew up with cats and dogs as pets our entire lives and currently have two pets of our own. We currently have a female golden doodle, Lucy and a three legged cat, Donna! We recently lost our older little dachshund and it has left a huge hole in our family. We have experience with dogs of all sizes and have kept dogs up to three weeks with the owners out of country! Fun fact: I am a Chiropractor and have experience with adjusting animals as well! Courtney works a flexible schedule and we have an animal-loving daughter that attends UWEC who will give your pets all the attention they can handle when she’s around! Your pets will be in great hands and recieve lots of love when staying with us. We love cuddling on the couch, walking the trails in our neighborhood, playing tug with all Lucy’s favorite toys and playing fetch in the back yard. Drew works Monday through Friday but finishes seeing patients at 12pm on Fridays so he is available for afternoon drop offs through Sunday night for pickup. Our “during the week” availability depends on the needs of your pet which can be discussed before booking! Courtney’s schedule is flexible and can provide potty breaks throughout the day and occasionally works from home. We have an open back yard and live at the end of a cul de sac so your pets will be safe to play. We also have walking paths through our dog friendly, low traffic neighborhood. We spend lots of time outside with our dog and can provide a safe environment for yours as well. We never leave our dog outside alone since we do not have a fenced yard. We can provide a tie out if you have any worries about your dog not responding to a new persons commands. There is plenty of time spent lounging on the couch watching movies or hanging out while we play cards or board games as well. Since our daughter is off to college, we have a pretty quiet, laid back house, which can be nice for anxious pets. Your companion will have no lack of attention when they stay with us including lots of snuggles and treats (if that’s okay with you!)!

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and cattle. Hundeflokk LLC is also licensed and insured. Additionally, I have completed Pet First Aid Training via the Red Cross. ***Dog Walking*** Dog walking is offered Monday to Friday between 8am and 8pm. If you have a dog who can not handle walks, please contact me to arrange special care. I utilize an E-Bike with Pet Trailer during the summer, a solution that works great for senior and disabled dogs, as well as dogs who are unable to go for walks due to medical restriction (70 Lbs Max Weight for Trailer). ***Pet Sitting*** I offer pet sitting in your home beginning Friday evening until Sunday evening. This is great for weekend getaways and short trips. We spend the entire time with your pets except for a 4 hour allotment for running personal errands. The majority of the pet sitting will be at your home. We keep any keys and codes secured, offer daily pictures and updates, as well as a final report upon your return. If there are any emergencies you will be contacted right away, less the time it takes to stabilize the situation. Safety is the main priority and we understand the importance you place in your your pets care, as do I. As part of my supplies, I have a leash with couplers, waste bags, and first aid supplies. I operate under both Rover and my own LLC, which carries commercial pet care insurance.

“Jenna is awesome! She took care of my senior cat while I was out of town for a week. She is on quite a few medications for various health problems and I felt she was in very good hands with Jenna, who gave me daily updates on how she was eating and her litter box use status. My cat unfortunately developed a UTI while I was gone and Jenna took her to the emergency vet for me and was willing to go above and beyond and come super early the next morning to give her the antibiotic she needed. She was also super helpful in checking my mail daily as I live in an apartment and quite a few packages delivered while I was gone. I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: As a passionate pet sitter, I bring a wealth of specialized skills to the table. I’m experienced in puppy and kitten training, ensuring your young furry friend learns good manners while you’re away. I also excel in providing compassionate care for senior pets, including administering medications and catering to their unique needs. With a deep understanding of animal behavior, I create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for pets of all ages. My goal is to ensure your pets feel loved and comfortable, giving you peace of mind every step of the way. I'm currently a student at UW-Stout, so I'm usually around for quick or last minute drop in for emergencies and I'm always willing to be flexible! I cannot accommodate for pets in my home, as I live in a small apartment not suitable for multiple animals. However, I will provide my best care and services wherever they are needed within each clients preferences and needs.

About: Danny and I have both grown up with dogs since we can remember. We have had our pet, Rarrie, for 4 years and lived in 3 different regions. We are used to any sort of social skills dog and adapt well for your pets needs! We love new adventures and have a passion for finding out how your pet fits in our home! I am currently working full time, a flexible 3 days a week from home so I will be home all day when your pets are here! Danny works full time but is home in the morning and nights. We are both home on the weekends full time! We take our pet and guest pets out in the morning, at lunch, afternoon, and nighttime! We have a fully fenced in large yard that the pups will love to play outside in. We also adventure to local parks for walks and have low traffic trails depending on your pet’s social skills! Pet care has been part of our daily routine for well over 4 years now. We are not new to the responsibility of taking care of our animal friends and we will treat your dog as our own during their stay with us! We have a fenced in yard that provides full protection from outside the property. We keep our doors locked when we aren’t home so your pet will never have a chance of getting away without us knowing. We always keep them close by when they are staying with us!

About: Dogs, cats and birds have always been a part of my life. As a child, we even had a pet crow named Butch! I work from home so your fur or feather baby won’t be left alone. My last two dogs passed away after months of battling cancer. My siberian husky had nasal cancer and my papillion had lymphoma. I have experience providing palliative care for dogs that are not feeling well and probably need extra love and attention. Currently, my resident dog is a foster failure named Peppy. Occasionally, I will have a foster dog in addition to my resident dog. I would disclose that information before booking. I currently work from home and my schedule is very flexible. After work, I walk my dog either around the neighborhood or we go to Red Cedar trail or to a park in town. I can easily crate your dog if you request it but it’s ok if he/she sleeps wherever. My dog freaks out in a crate (he was a breeder release) so he sleeps wherever he chooses. He is very gentle and has no teeth so I will not care for any aggressive dog.

About: I am a mother of both the human and furry type! I truly believe our pets are a member of the family. I've had dogs, puppies, cats, kitties, guinea pigs, fish, toads, frogs, you name it, Ive had them! I love them all! I grew up with pets and feel there is no love like your dogs love! I Currently have two dogs, one of which is a Great Pyrenees that I have rehabilitated from a broken leg he sustained at nine months old. So I really do know the dedication and love it takes to care for an animal. I'd love to help anyone out with their dog needs. I'm also willing to help out with other animals in the home if needed. I love kitties too..
