Pet Sitting in Darlington

“Catarina went above and beyond caring for our 12 year old dog, Seve. She is a dog whisperer and he warmed up to her so quickly. Even on rainy days she entertained him with games—it was like he got a full doggy daycare experience! Will definitely be using her a lot in the future!”

“Mackena took amazing care of our dog while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond the usual feeding and potty time. She played ball with Lola and gave her lots of snuggles and pets. It snowed while we were gone and she even shoveled for us! We got updates and pictures everyday. She is very caring and I highly recommend her. She will be the person I call anytime I need pet care!”

“Alicia reliably came on each date and thoroughly checked that all cats were in a happy, healthy state. Alicia did a great job of communicating that the cats were fine so as to keep my vacation free of worry.”

About: Hi! I’m Kasi and I live in Mineral Point, WI I've grown up with pets my entire life. After losing my dog Lacey in 2021, it's felt quite strange not having a pet close by. I've taken care of both dogs and cats for over 4 years. Neighbors family and friends have counted on me to walk, feed, and make sure they go to the bathroom. I also work part time at a local pet daycare center so I've gotten to know pets very quickly. Each pet I've cared for has left their pawprint on my heart in some way shape or form-and forever will! I currently work remotely in Mineral Point, and also work full time for a non profit organization. I am able to stop by if you ever need me to. I have stayed at family homes to provide care for pets. I adhere to any instructions provided by each pet owner to ensure they maintain the same schedule before, during and after my stay. I ensure to maintain constant communication with pet owners, and let them know how their pet is doing.

About: I have had a passion for dogs since I’ve been 11. I have been walking, help train, and taking care of dogs for some time now I love everything to do with animals! I only work part time so that gives me a lot of time to spend with your pup! I have a huge yard and am just ready to have dogs running in it! Right away in the mornings the dogs get taken outside, then it’s breakfast, and then outside some more!

“Meg came to meet our dog for the first time and it was a very successful experience. We are grateful for her flexibility and enthusiasm and we all enjoyed our time with her. We are having Meg come walk Creed while we are away and feel very comfortable with the arrangement. We highly recommend her already!!”

About: I’ve been a proud dog owner for over 15 years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pups. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve volunteered at local animal shelters, where I helped walk, feed, and socialize dogs from all backgrounds. I'm comfortable with a variety of breeds and activity levels, and I always tailor my approach to each dog’s individual needs, whether it’s a long walk for an active dog, playtime and enrichment for a curious pup, or calm companionship for an older one. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, safe, and loved. I don't have much experience with cats but am eager to learn and help any cat parent that needs it. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to check on or walk pets during the day or anytime during the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your dog, visiting for a drop in, or staying in your home, I make sure each pet feels relaxed, secure, and loved. During walks, I always use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior and surroundings. For drop in visits, I follow your routine for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks to keep things consistent and stress free. When staying in your home, I treat your space with respect and keep everything clean and tidy while maintaining your pet’s usual schedule.

“Jessica was amazing! It’s obvious she loves animals and we were able to have peace of mind because of her extensive experience with animals. We would love to have Jessica watch Clementine again!!”

About: I grew up in a family that always had dogs, ranging from small dogs (like Chihuahuas) to big dogs (like German Wirehairs). As a child, I took on dog training experience through my local 4-H group and pursued that for a large portion of my early education career. Since then, I have always been a lover of dogs and have taken on many responsibilities, not only for my family dogs, but for my roommate’s dogs as well. Any care and love your dog needs, I would be happy to provide it! I’m available for pet care during the week and on weekends. Whether you need drop-in visits or overnight home stays, I’m happy to help, just please be sure to book in advance so I can plan accordingly! I kindly ask for at least one day’s notice for cancellations. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Please note: I do not offer dog care in my own home as I live in an apartment. However, I’m happy to provide in-home care at your residence for both dogs and cats! For dogs, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, including regular walks, outdoor playtime (at a nearby dog park or fenced yard), and bathroom breaks every 30–60 minutes based on their needs. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you provide to keep your pup happy and comfortable. For cats, I offer attentive and respectful care, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and affection (if your cat is the cuddly type!). I understand feline behavior and know how to give them the space or snuggles they prefer. Whatever your pet needs, I’m here to help while keeping their routine as stress-free as possible!

About: Hi! My name is Lensy, and I’m excited about the opportunity to care for your pet.

My weekends are currently free, so I’m happy to arrange care for your pets during that time as well. Please feel free to reach out to discuss how I can best accommodate your needs! When caring for pets in my home or in my client's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment tailored to each pet's needs. In my client's home, I want to be sure to know their routines. I focus on providing a stress-free experience, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for in familiar surroundings. At home, I have a pet of my own, a mini golden doodle named Coco, who has taught me a lot about pet care and the importance of personalized attention. I ensure a calm, pet-friendly space where all animals can relax and feel at ease. I also maintain consistency in feeding times, play sessions, and any special care routines. I always ensure their safety and well-being is my top priority, no matter the setting.
