“Another trip made easier by having Cathryn’s help! This trip was longer, farther away and with a big time difference and Cathryn made it easy for us to enjoy ourselves and trust that our fur babies were well taken care of. She treats our animals like her own and we are lucky to have found her!!”
“Kimberly was AMAZING. She stayed at our house and watched the dogs 7days/6nights and was a total success. Not only did we get daily updates & pics, but she also sent a pic and informed us of a lump she found on one of our pups to let us know. She went above and beyond minimum pet care and even cleaned up and poop scooped. I felt stress free during our trip seeing the pics of our dogs having fun with her. I would hire her again and recommend her in a heartbeat. Our flight was also delayed 6hrs and she was so supportive during a stressful time—Totally jumped in to say she was flexible to be standby should a longer stay arise to make sure our dogs were cared for and got any needed meds as the day went on. Thank you, Kimberly!”
“Ashley took really great specialized care of our babies while we were away. She made sure to keep us updated throughout our entire trip and we never had to worry about them! This was a great experience and we will absolutely be using her services again!”
“Annette is a wonderful sitter and I highly recommend her. She is trustworthy, communicative, and kind and shows a great love and passion for taking care of animals!”
“Rita was amazing with my boys while my husband and I were away! Her experience in administering medications eased my mind. We have a young dog who requires a strict med schedule and she was on point in maintaining that schedule.”
“Rebecca is so great with my dogs and I always come home to happy pups and my house as I left it! She's great with photos also, so my mind can be at ease when leaving my dogs for over nights and check ins! Highly recommend!!”
“Jackie was fantastic, she was able to watch our dog cash after he returned home from the vet. He was on a strict diet and a few other issues. Jackie updated me with his status and sent photos. I would recommend Jackie for home sitting or dog watching!”
About: Conveniently located 7 minutes from Wisconsin Dells (the map is not accurate), in the country on a few acres with a large fenced in area! I love taking care of pups in my home just as one of my own furry family members. I have a degree as a vet tech and in canine obedience and behavior! I have been boarding dogs in my home and pet sitting for over 25 years. I also ran a wonderful dog rescue for almost ten years giving me a wide variety of experience with many situations and behaviors. I love being able to help people with knowing their pup is in the best of care so you can enjoy your Vacation or not add more stress in a time of sorrow or whatever the situation may be that brings you to needing dog sitting! I also own my own business doing interior painting so have a very flexible schedule. I love being able to be flexible for you and for your pup I have a fenced in yard, can separate and/crate dogs as needed. I do offer for them to sleep with me at night and be spoiled. I will take them for rides, hikes, to the store all if applicable!

I have a flexible schedule and work part-time, so I can work with many other time requests and schedules. I can care for your pet on weekends also. I have a very large yard for your dog to play in and I have 2 friendly dogs to keep them company. I can crate your pet also if needed.
About: I have years of experience working with pets in animal shelters, and I also have my vet assistant certification. I am skilled at making pets feel safe and happy! I am in between jobs, so I have a ton of time to provide excellent care for your pets! I am available all day Monday-Friday and occasionally on weekends. I do not have a fenced yard but I live on a few acres of land for great walks to keep you dog happy! There are friendly dogs at the house but I have the ability to keep them separate as well if that is necessary. I can crate dogs when needed.

I will walk your fur baby on a leash in the environment you say they are comfortable with.
