About: I have been around animals all my life and even gravitate towards animals versus people in most social situations. I have cared for small Poodles and Terriers, as well as Labs and Great Danes. When I was in middle school, I taught my Golden Retriever obedience and agility. I put 110% effort into all jobs I am hired for because it’s truly something I love. I am an active individual who also loves to snuggle up on the couch with a good book. So whether your pet is an active walker or a cuddly couch potato, I promise to provide them with the love care they need while you are away. I can't wait to sit for your family and help ease your worry while you’re away! Before going to work as a teacher, I would make sure to check in on your pet in the morning. Feed them, take them potty, and depending on time take them for a morning walk. Directly after work, I would go home to see my cat Benny, and then go visit your house. I’ll make sure that your pup is fed, goes on a walk, or has a great amount of playtime and snuggles! Before taking them outside at your house, I would make sure that your dog is either on a leash, the yard fence is closed, or their recall is good with me. Most importantly, I want to make sure that in a new situation and with someone new in their home, they somehow do not get loose.

“Jackie was a perfect fit for my drop in visits and day care. She was thorough in getting to know Apollo and his needs. She followed my recommendations and went above and beyond to make sure Apollo was taken care of, some people are just naturals when it comes to caring for pets, and I believe Jackie is one of them, 100/10 recommend!”

“Shatoria was so great with my cats. She is very responsive and a great listener. I had a lot of changes in care instructions, and she handled everything patiently and without any issues. She kept me updated, followed all the details carefully, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I could tell my cats were well cared for and comfortable with her. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”

About: I have experience fostering cats and dogs of all ages the last 6 years. I have experience with special needs dogs and cats, reactive dogs, and puppy training. I work from 7:30-4 Monday-Friday I am available to stay at the house to be there in the morning for the pets. I will be there right after work. I unfortunately cannot watch pets at my place, but I can stay at your place or can just stop by to feed and let out.

“Tonisha took great care of our kitties while we were on vacation! We really appreciated the photos and videos she sent every day. We would love to have her sit for us again in the future!”

About: I've always had pet dogs and cats since childhood. At this time my husband and I are unable to have a pet of our own, but I frequently house sit and watch pets for friends and family. I work as a school counselor, so I have plenty of availability during the summer to care for your fur-buddies! I am energetic and enjoy playing with excited animal friends, and I also hold firm boundaries and can support your training. I work at a school, so I have plenty of time over the summer to love and care for your pets! I teach summer school from eight to noon a few weeks over the summer, and I also teach occasional yoga classes, but besides those commitments, my time belongs to the fur-babies! I am very energetic and happy to go for long walks or play with dogs to tire them out! I am also clean and detail-oriented so I will take good care of your home if you are away. During the school year I work as a school counselor so I value service to others, honesty, integrity, and sharing joy and kindness.

About: We’ve both grown up with dogs and around a variety of animals. I also had a cat as a young person and cared for cats of roommates. I’ve house-sat and pet-sat from Europe to Florida and back to Wisconsin. No kids, no other pets, we’d love to love & spoil your boo while you’re away. I work full time, typically Mon-Fri 7ish to 4ish. I’m typically home weekends. There is some flexibility with my schedule if I know in advance. I have the potential for half days or additional work from home if your pet needs more frequent attention. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to roam (supervised). We’re cuddle friendly so pets are allowed on the furniture & bed, but we’ll work with you to maintain their habits and training. They can be left free, crated, or contained to a particular room as needed. Any other questions just ask!

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid. Occasionally, for friends or neighbors, but most of my experience is from having a pups and cats of my own. I will be unable to adopt a dog for the foreseeable future, so this will be my way of staying connected to animals and making some new furry friends. I love spending time outside and I'm willing to head to the dog parks, trails or even the beach if you would like. Monay-Wednesday evenings are usually open. Most Fridays and Sundays I have more flexibility. Saturdays are also flexible if your pup/kitty is okay with kids. I have a daughter who loves animals as much as I do and she would be very gentle and playful. Every family and furry friend are different. That's one of the things I love about this job. I will be open to any specific routines, diets, training or requirements that you have in place.

“Carly took care of Chester for 1 week as drop-in sitter. My cat looks healthy and handsome as ever. I arrive with a chatty cat greeting me and I get it. I will book Carly again in the future because she not only took care of my cat’s needs (spoiled-prince) but she also respected my place and she is trustworthy and professional.”

About: I have experience caring for pets, having grown up with them, and I am available with a flexible schedule throughout the summer months. I would be happy to assist if needed. I am currently a teacher on summer break and have availability to assist with dog walking, provide daytime or evening companionship for pets, and house sit if needed! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, or simply offering affection and companionship. My priority is always to ensure pets feel happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Emily was so wonderful and kind while checking in on our two cats while we were out of town. She was a fabulous communicator and listened to all of the instructions we left her. We would highly recommend Emily to all pet parents! :)”

About: I’ve had my own dog at home since I was eight and I’ve taken care of countless dogs my entire life. My own dog is getting elderly, so I understand the care and compassionate it takes in order to make sure they’re happy. I love being around dogs so getting to know your pet will be so special to me! I'm currently a college student who is looking to take care of any furry friends in my spare time! I am available over weekends and all weekdays besides Wednesday. 8am-2pm and 8pm-10pm are my best times during the week, and then any time during weekends. I do not currently have any pets living with me at school, however I am extremely used to taking care of my own pets and other family members/friends pets as well.

“I know I can always count on Tina to provide excellent care. We have three cats who are needy for attention and Tina always comes through with photos!”

“I needed 4 days of drop in care for my 2 spoiled kitties and Jasmine did a great job. The kitty bowls were washed, the litter box was clean, and most importantly my cats had attention while I was away. Jasmine is very dependable and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her!”

“We've just hired Tammy for the first time to care for our dog while we were out of town for a day. She was friendly and professional every step of the way and clearly likes dogs! Our dog is pretty shy with strangers and he warmed up to her nicely. I would use her services again and recommend her to others.”
