Pet Sitting Colfax

“Kessia did a wonderful job stopping in at our house and letting Holly out and feeding her. She also let my granddaughter’s dog out and fed him. Kessia did a great job even though she hadn’t met Clyde before. I would definitely use her again.”

About: What sets me apart from others in animal care is the deep level of patience, empathy, and attention I bring to every animal I work with. I take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and respected. I don’t just focus on the physical care—they get emotional care too. Whether it’s calming a nervous pet, noticing subtle changes in behavior, or going the extra mile to make their experience positive, I always strive to make a genuine difference in their well-being. I’m currently a full-time student, but I make sure to keep my schedule open in the afternoons and evenings to provide quality care for animals. I’m available after classes and can work up until around 8 p.m., allowing me to give each animal the attention and care they need. Balancing school and work has helped me become organized, dependable, and fully committed to giving my best in every task I take on. The care and dedication I put into being a good dog mom naturally extends to how I care for other people’s animals. I understand how important pets are to their families, so I treat every animal as if they were my own—patiently, kindly, and with full attention to their needs. My experience helps me recognize signs of stress, comfort anxious pets, and build trust quickly. I always strive to create a safe, loving environment where every animal feels secure and cared for, just like I do with my own.

“We recently moved to Eau Claire and we don’t have many friends or family in the area yet and we decided to try out Rover. We found Korah and decided to give it a try. She almost immediately responded to being able to watch Bentley and she was more than willing to come meet in person before she was going to check in on him later. She made us feel very comfortable leaving Bentley with her. I 100% recommend her and we will definitely book with her again in the future. Thank you Korah for taking care of our baby Bentley ❤️”

“Ellen was very conscientious checking on my dog Sadie while I was OOT. She was timely and kept me updated with photos - so it was very comforting knowing Sadie was well cared for!”

About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets. From cats, dogs, birds, rodents and farm animals. I am also able to take care of animals with higher needs. I’ve had elderly pets who need medication and animals that I have found with injuries that I took care of. I am available all week and I occasionally visit my parents on the weekend. Other than that I do not leave town often, if I do ever have a trip planned I would update my schedule. I know how important routines are so sticking to what is requested is essential. Animals that need to be kept separate is also an important thing to know.

About: Hi! I'm a dependable animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up around dogs, including a reactive German Shepherd, and I've also helped care for both small and large dogs in my family, so I'm comfortable with a variety of temperaments and energy levels. I'm especially good at reading dog body language and making sure dogs feel safe and understood. Whether it's going for walks, playing, or helping a dog burn off energy in a positive way, I focus on keeping things calm, structured, and fun. I'm patient, attentive, and reliable, and I always treat every dog like they're my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy while you're away. I am a college student so after 3pm on Monday's, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I am available for any of the services needed. This way I can board on the weekends for sure. I have an unfenced yard with a puppy that loves to play. I have a crate available for most dogs. I have a 100ft long leash so you don’t have to worry about your pet.

“Bear was well exercised. Pictures were timely. Took excellent care of him.”

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. Ive dealt with multiple dogs at once, all with different personalities. From shy, energetic, to reactive. I have done everything from daily walks, to overnight stays for clients. Handling the different routines. Another plus is that I grew up fostering dogs, so I have experience with a lot of different breeds creating a very patient and observant demeanor. I am currently working part-time and looking for some extra work. My availability is pretty flexible as long as you are as well! I can either do stop by's for walks once a day, or a multiple day care schedule, with 2-4 hours of being out of the house. I'd love to chat and work something out! When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, and any house rules. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of bathroom breaks, and safe, supervised time outside. I spend quality time with each pet, whether that means playing, training practice, gentle cuddles, or just giving them company so they don’t feel alone. It is all about respect and I respect your home also respect your home, treating your space the same way I’d want mine treated.

“We appreciate the love and care you gave our pups today! We gave extremely short notice and you accommodated us and we thank you for helping our family out on such short notice!”

“Desiree was great. She followed the simple instructions I gave and would pick her again with my pets. Hopefully it is not short notice next time, but my usual sitter had a last-minute surgery. Macie can be a lot in spite of her age.”

“Victoria has been my best cat sitter by far. I used her for drop-in visits and she kept me well informed on how Rascal was doing and his catitude for that day. She let me know the one day she found some puke and watched him the rest of the week for any new occurrences and let me know that his litter box looked normal on his sickish day as well. I'm hoping she's available for any future vacations I take as she will be my go-to catsitter.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and honestly can’t remember a time when I wasn’t surrounded by pets. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I regularly dog sit for friends and family, and I genuinely love it. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I show up with patience, energy, and a lot of love. I take pet care seriously, but I also truly enjoy it. Being around animals is my happy place. I probably like them more than humans, but I’ll let your pet be the judge of that. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I’m typically home and have a flexible schedule. I’m usually out for a couple hours most days, but otherwise I’m around and able to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. On weekends I’m also fairly flexible and either at home or doing low-key activities, so I can adjust easily to the needs of each pet. I enjoy making pet care a consistent part of my routine and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I provide calm, attentive care based on each pet’s needs and comfort level. In my home, I keep things very relaxed with lots of supervision, cuddle time, potty breaks, playtime, and regular outdoor walks on a leash. I also make sure pets are fed on schedule and always have fresh water. In a client’s home, I prefer to focus on walks and potty breaks or quick check-ins depending on what’s needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking closely to their normal routine.

“Thank you again for the last-minute dog sitting. I'll keep you in mind for a backup sitter. Thank you for leaving the key where I asked.”

I currently don't own any animals, but I would love to take care of yours! I am available for house/pet sitting & walking on weekdays and weekends. My availability is pretty open and can be tailored to fit your needs! I will care for your pet(s) in your home with the utmost respect and responsibility. Whatever your pet needs are, I will work with you to make sure we have a plan to keep your pet(s) comfortable and safe. I am comfortable following a routine or giving medications if needed.

“Mackenzie is fantastic with Bella! Bella loved having her and she is a picky cat! Constant communication and unconditional love for Bella!”

“Michelle regularly does check ins and has done a couple overnights for my pup. She arrives on time, takes great care of my dog, communicates, follow instructions, and sends lots of pics. She is incredibly nice and attentive to my pup and also this nervous dog mom lol. I am very selective in who let care for my gentle giant; I trust Michelle completely and know my baby is in amazing hands. She treats my dog like one of her own, his schedule is followed, and he gets to relax at home with lots of love while I am a way. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could! We are grateful for her at our house!”

About: I have had a dog since I was 8 years old. I am well experienced in walking, feeding, bathing, etc. dogs. I have never met a dog I haven’t liked and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. My dog is currently a senior dog so I am familiar with caring for older dogs. I am currently in graduate school so i have classes in the morning/afternoon but my evenings are very open to walk or care for your pets!! When caring in a clients home, I make sure to get clear instructions on how to efficiently care for their pet. I make sure I understand their schedule and follow it closely. I also make some time to let the pet get used to me before I do what I need to do to make sure they are comfortable.

“Briana was amazing! She took great care of our two pups while we were out of town and sent picture updates. She is so sweet and great to work with!”

About: Something that sets me apart from others is the fact that I raised my parents dog Hildi as I was doing online school at the time! Pet care fits great into my routine as I am only going to school part time. I absolutely love spending time with dogs and/or cats! I will promise to care for your pet as they’re my own, no matter the circumstance! I will always provide the most that I can:)
