House Sitting in Dexter

About: I grew up having dogs around and they are my favorite animal! My family has been fortunate to adopt 3 dogs, so far, in my life: a Black Lab-Dachshund, a Bassett Hound, and an Australian Cattle Dog; all very different dogs! I also have the experience of watching family & friends animals over the years! Having been around so many different types of dogs has taught me how many different behaviors and reactions they have depending on the environment or people it is/has been surrounded by. At the end of last year I got married and moved to Fond du Lac and have been looking at some part time work. I am very flexible with scheduling right now! I will ensure your pets comfort, safety, and well-being by learning their daily schedules and rules by their owners. I understand that comfort, safety, and trust comes in three parts, the owner, the pet, and myself; and will respect all parties.

“Sarah was phenomenal! All 3 dogs warmed right up to her immediately, and she did a perfect job with all the detailed instructions we left her; including giving time-sensitive anti-seizure medications.”

“She was very attentive and concerned for our dogs She provided daily updates with photos so we knew they were being well cared for She took care of our home probably better than we do! Highly recommended”

Bart L.

“Zhy was an amazing dog sitter! She was caring, reliable, and kept me updated the whole time. My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well taken care of. I really appreciated her attention to detail and how much love she showed my pet. I would definitely recommend Zhy to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

“Emalia was so communicative the whole time. She consistently checked in and sent photos so I was never worried about him. She seems to care so much and I’m so grateful she was able to take such great care of my pup!”

“Amazing care. Super responsible and thoughtful. Sent daily updates, would hire again!”

Elizabeth D.

“We had Bryanna stay at our house to watch our puppy for a few days. She did come by to meet us and Luna ahead of time to get to know Luna and her schedule. Bryanna did a great job with our puppy Luna. She communicated back and forth as well so we were able to know how things were going while we were away.”

Theresa B.

“Great experience! My very timid pup seemed very at ease and comfortable upon return. Will definitely hire Cheri again for pet sitting! Thanks Cheri!”

Lorraine J.

“She was absolutely incredible with our fur babies. Nya our Rottweiler was so good for her and she responded fast when I asked how things were going. I would definitely be booking with Katie again… thank you so much.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 8 years old. It has always been a passion of mine. I would always walk the neighbors dog’s and my family always relied on me to take care of their animals . I absolutely love animals. I am a volunteer at the local Rescue Group. I occasionally foster dogs that come from New Mexico that were going to be euthanized for space. I am a dog owner that will love your pets like my own. I have been a owner and dog sitter for years. I am flexible and available to customize to your dogs needs. I offer long walks, feedings, and lots of love and company. My dogs Hudson and Sadie are my pride and joy. I spend a lot of time outside with them and inside enrichment toys and puzzles. Sadie is a Blue Heeler and she needs lots of mental stimulation. I also have a kitten named Oreo who thinks he is a dog. I work from home so I am home 90% of the time. Please feel free to message me and we can talk about your dogs needs. I can send you pictures throughout the stay if you would like as well. I am home 80% of the time. It is something I am passionate about and love. I also run a small business from home so never worry about your fur babies being alone. I have three dogs of my own so adding a few more to my daily routine makes it just a little more fun. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I have two of my own dogs to keep your animals active and playing. I do prefer the dog to be crated at night for their safety. I have an alarm system as well as outside video surveillance.

“Katie took great care of both of my dogs! My elderly Akita is kind of on his last legs and is high maintenance and she got him all sorted out. They were very happy when we got home 😁”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and recently I’ve been going to the cat cafe here to make sure I know how to properly socialize with kitties! I have the same schedule at work every week so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your babies! I can always move around some things if needed. My apartment is very safe, and has a huge grass field for dogs to play in! For kitties I have a good sized apartment that they can run around and play in.

About: Hi I’m Lauren! I am excited to help some families out and give them peace of mind with caring for their fur-babies!! I can’t wait! I am currently working as a nanny! This would be great for me as my schedule gives me free time in the mornings and evenings! I have plenty of time to play, feed, and spend some time with your fur-babies!! I am able to care for your pets as needed! If that’s walks, play time, or just a potty break during the day, I’m your girl!

“Rowan was a fantastic dog sitter. He was very friendly and accommodating and kept up really great communication. Our dog was very well cared for and we will absolutely be looking to hire him again.”

Aubrey P.

“Rachel was amazing. Great communication throughout the whole process. We hesitate leaving our sweet, old boy alone but had no qualms after meeting Rachel. Would recommend her to anyone!”

Laura W.

“Tina is a wonderful and reliable petsitter. She cared for our two Boxers and one cat in our home for 10 days and we got very sweet photos. House was in the exact condition we left it when we got home. All pets were happy. The dogs snuggled with Tina in bed every night, just like they do with us. Shy kitty cat even came around to get some love. Definitely recommend.”

Erin O.

“Emily did a fantastic job of caring for all 3 of my animals, watering the indoor and outdoor plants as well as leaving my home just as clean as she found it. I will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I've been a care taker for over a decade now! Everything from nannying, to the developmentally disabled, to house sitting, and finally pet sitting. I care for others and their loved ones as I would want someone to care for me and my loved ones. Our pets are such a precious part of our family and deserve to be treated that way. I believe if we love and care for thy neighbor our neighborhood will become a better place. I have my own business and make my own schedule so I can fit in pet care into my schedule fairly easily! I also have my own reliable vehicle that can get me to your pet safely! I am willing to crate your dog if this is your practice! I also have a big back yard where your lil fur babes can run around and play! I work from home most of the time so I can be their companion during the days as well.

About: I've had three black labs in my life, who have turned me into a dog obsessed human! When I attend social gatherings, I am usually found hanging out with the dog giving it some loving attention. When I was younger I walked my neighbors' dogs. One of these dogs was deaf and I learned different ways to communicate with him. I am friendly and compassionate and will provide your pet with warmth and snuggles while you are away! I work full time during the week, but evenings and most weekends I'm free to care for dogs. Whether your pup is looking for a quick walk, a mozy around the neighborhood, an active, engaging play session, or an overnighter- I will, with the occasional help of my labrador, Bella along with our dog friend, Frankie, make sure to keep your pup happy and occupied. I have a fenced in yard, a couple of friendly dogs of my own, and can crate your pup with their own crate, so please provide if crating is preferred. I prefer a meet and greet to ensure a good fit for your pup. That would look different depending on the service. Dog walking and House Sitting: I will meet you and your fur friend at your home - this will help establish trust and familiarity for the dog while you are there. At this point we can go over the safest entry into your home, routines for your pup, and any specific care requirements. Doggy Day Care and Boarding: You will meet at my home. Where I will bring my two dogs out to meet you and your pup (everybody leashed) and we can talk and sniff and ensure initial vibes are correct for everybody's safety. When we confirm that the dogs are showing no signs of threat/discomfort, we can move everybody into the gated area of our yard and let your dog off leash. We have lots of smells and space to roam about, so this should be an exciting little adventure for your friend. At this point you can share any specific care instructions and routines important to your dog's happiness.
