Dog Sitting Cross Plains

About: I’m a school counselor (on hiatus) stay at home mom. I take pride in providing peace of mind for people during their travel. I have 30+ years of experience pet sitting (starting when I was 8), with 15 of those years being professional dog handling when I used to help raise and train guide dogs for blind people. I have a friendly dog that loves to host guests. He adapts his play style to each dog; if they want to run around, he wants to be chased. If they don’t feel like playing, he will give space. Like many resident male dogs, he often feels uncomfortable with large breed adolescent males, particularly intact. I will make decisions on a case by case basis regarding adolescent males. I do require dogs be crated when unattended in my home for their safety and comfort. We can discuss your dog’s unique needs. Please be sure your animals are up to date on vaccinations and preventative meds (flea/tick and heartworm). What can I offer? I can board your dog (or pet!) at my home or do home visits. I’m experienced in smalls like cats, pocket pets, and birds. I have even cared for people’s hobby farms (horses, donkeys, goats, chickens, etc). I have a fenced yard. I’ve adopted 4 Rottweilers in the past with unique behavior issues and fostered many other breeds so I’m used to handling all types of dogs, including those who need a little time to settle in. I’m home during the day. Your dog becomes part of my “pack”, built around their comfort level. I have one pet dog, two small kids and two teen step daughters. Sometimes I have other boarded dogs but I’ll always confirm with both dogs’ families before I book an overlap. I won’t book a dog if they aren’t a good match for someone already booked. For home visits. My 2 littles tag along with me. Unless I can get my partner to take them after work hours. I put your pets needs as a priority, so if your pet isn’t fond of children, I won’t let my kids bug them. My home has backyard access with a fence (4 foot tall chain link and 6 foot tall privacy fence along the road side). If you don’t want your dog interacting with mine, I am experienced in keeping dogs separate and safe. I’ve boarded/raised over 100 dogs and I’ve never had any issues with dogs getting loose or scuffling. Sitting in your home: I can do the basics such as feeding and potty. I can take your dog for walks or play in your yard and spend some time with them in your home.

“Megan took great care of our dog while we were gone for the week. She was prompt, gave updates with each visit, and sent pictures. We highly recommend Megan!”

“Hailey did amazing the pups were happy and we were happy. We only cut our trip short because I got sick but we will definitely be using her again. Thank you Hailey for taking care of Luna and Kane.”

About: Hello, I am Juan a dog loving living in Middleton. I live with my two frenchies 4 and 2 years old. Ginebra loves long walks and always is exploring. Near home is a natural road good for walk and the always are exploring the road. Me and my dogs are happy to host your pet. I have been around dogs since I was a child. Your pet will be like part of the family, so I can’t take care of your dogs in my home or travel to yours. I am happy to help with your best friend and your pet always will have my full attention. Please let me know if your pet needs any special attention. It is always the best part of the day, walking your dogs help you connect with nature, free your mind and think clear, those little moments could be natural therapy and a mind cleanser. Mu complex have a dog park also there’s a very beautiful natural road near home where my frenchies use to have lots of fun. I am an animal lover and grew up with pets at home.

“Great communication, wonderful care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. Sidney even picked up some extra food because I had miscounted the number of cans we needed. Thanks so much!”

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I was little, between dogs, cats, reptiles, and even farm animals such as dairy cows, pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I can take care of pets at any time of day or night, and I can walk dogs after 4 pm. Tuesday & Thursday, I do have class from 7-10 am. I have a fence for my pets, we play with toys, and we go on walks (depending on the weather). My dog will sleep where she is most comfortable and she always goes to the bathroom on time.

“No notes! Was reunited with my lil guy and he looks great. Loved getting pics and updates while I was gone.”

About: I grew up with adopted dogs and cats in the Midwest! My chore list included pet care from as young as I can remember. My brother and I watched friends and neighbors animals until we both moved out. I love getting to meet new pets and interact with their fun quirks. I love helping people with their pets so I can ensure they have a familiar face and one on one care compared to boarding pets during a stressful time for them. I am comfortable with all pet care. Im a full time flight crew member, so I know my schedule a month in advance and have days off at a time. My schedule is very flexible. I will ensure the clients home is respected like my own. As long as I’m informed on where the supplies and pets favorite toys are I will be set!

“Super responsive!”

“Annalesse was very responsive when setting up the booking and exchanging keys, and she took great care of my cats while I was gone for about two weeks!”

“Kelly goes above and beyond when she checks in our pets. She obviously cares about what she does and we trust her to take care of our pup in our home. She even helped out with our chickens which I didn't even ask for. She's our go to when we get away from home for a weekend.”

About: I’ve always been a dog lover, growing up with a Pitbull Terrier, and I've had experience taking care of dogs of all sizes. Over the years, I’ve helped out friends and family with everything from puppy care to looking after older dogs, whether it’s at my place or theirs. I’m comfortable with both big and small dogs, and I’m happy to provide whatever your pet needs—whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra attention. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared. I do have a dog of my own, Dewey. He’s a very sweet boy and loves meeting and playing with new friends of all sizes and ages. He’s a good listener, so he knows how to respect other’s boundaries. I do have a full-time job but am available most weekends. I do have some flexibility during weekdays when I work from home, so I will always try my best to work with your schedule. My current routine with Dewey is 3-4 walks, including at least 30 minutes of playtime at the fenced play area or a long walk. Dewey makes great company for your pup and does not mind sharing his toys. He loves being outdoors and free, so I try to give him as much playtime as possible, and will do the same with yours. A tired pup is a happy one!

About: I work as an ICU RN and even though this entails humans, I extend my knowledge to animals. It allows me to identify and problem solve health and behavioral issues, with the tools to create solutions. I genuinely offer compassion to all animals, not just cats/dogs. I give my time, respect and patience. I have taken care of all kinds of pets; different species, breeds, sizes, temperaments, and needs, ever since I was a child. My childhood home was always filled with an abundance of animals (& also reptiles, aquatic life and arachnids). I look forward to meeting your extended member of the family! :D The perk of being a RN is that I only 3 days a week. This leaves me extra time during the week for other activities. I am an animal lover, so what better way to fill a few hours of time than with more furry friends! I will not be doing boarding at my own home. I will however treat your home with respect and follow guideline for providing the best care for your fur baby!

About: I’ve had a dog most of my life, and most recently had an English bulldog. After he passed away, I decided to dog sit. I have always loved animals and enjoy caring for them. I’m very familiar and experienced with dog behaviors, training and the responsibility of taking care of an animal. I have no kids and no other pets. I only take one dog at a time for boarding or daycare at my home. I want to be able to give them all the love and attention. This is perfect for dogs with separation anxiety or dogs that just like alone time with people. Your dog will have a relaxing and comfortable stay! I work from home so I can spend lots of time with your dog. My schedule is flexible, and I have plenty of time to care for your pup! Whether you need a dog walker or sitter, you can feel peace of mind knowing your pet is in good care and getting extra attention. 😊 I love walking and playing in the yard with pups! I will be sure to follow any specific instructions on caring for your fur baby while you’re away. I know it’s hard to leave a pet but I want you to feel at ease knowing your dog is in good hands. I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, and I would love to meet your fur baby!

“Thx for taking good care of our kitty! We appreciate the regular check-ins & pictures!”

About: I grew up with five dogs. I worked at a dog daycare for the past 6 months. While I worked there, I gave them enrichment, affection, cleaned up poop from the yards, and supervised dogs to make sure they played safely. I am free any time on the weekends. I will be getting a new job so I'm not 100% sure what my weekday hours are going to be like as of right now. I will be taking care of clients' pets in their own home or yard because we live in an apartment and also have three cats.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up with dogs, which taught me the importance of routine, exercise, and lots of love. Now I’m a proud cat owner of two, so I also understand how to care for more independent (but equally lovable!) pets. Whether your pet loves to play or just needs a calm, reassuring presence, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel at home. I work full time at UW Madison during regular business hours between 7:30a and 4:30p. I have a flexible schedule where I work from home twice weekly and at work 3 days. I care for your pets and your home as if it were my own. I treat the pets with the upmost love and care, and respect your home and privacy. I play with the pets if they are interested, and leave them be if not interested. Pets have bodily autonomy and I respect that. I’ll clean up a mess if I find one, and I’d let you know immediately if there’s an issue.

About: I grew up around pets and always loved them. All through undergrad and graduate school, I have been a pet sitter and house sitter. Once I was done and could finally get a pet of my own, I got one frenchie… and the other followed just a few short months later. My puppies are my whole world, and they LOVE having new friends! I work full-time from home, and have a fenced backyard! Our house gets lots of natural light which means sunny naps indoors when it’s chilly. I take our pups on at least one long walk a day, and plenty of playtime inside and outside. I have a fenced yard and lots of open space in the home. My two Frenchies LOVE all dogs - for playing and snuggling during the day. I love hanging out on the couch with our pups and relaxing, going for nice walks when weather permits, and lots of play with toys and balls!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life! From chihuahuas to border collies, I’ve had experience raising and taking care of all sizes of animal. I have a pretty open availability, so I would be able to give your animals the utmost attention when needed! Weekends are just as good for me as the weekdays! Having had animals my whole life, I understand how to maintain a clean environment while working with them. I am perfectly fine and comfortable with cleaning up after your animals if need be.
