About: Hello! Thank you for taking a moment to view my profile. I am an experienced, compassionate pet sitter and I also have a degree as a Vet Tech, so you can be sure your pet will be in good hands. I have taken care of pets in my neighborhood for over 25 years now, and have many long-term clients. I enjoy long walks, running, playing, snuggling, you name it. I don't just show up and sit there. I have experience giving meds, changing bandages, and more as well, so if there's an extra step needed to ensure your pet is healthy and happy, I am able to assist. Why I love dog sitting I have had animals my whole life, grew up on a farm. I’ve been pet sitting for 25 years for a large variety of pets. I’m comfortable with all breeds, ages, and temperament. My experience administering medication Yes. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I have administered pills, shots, ointments, etc. I have worked in a traditional clinic setting as well as in some pretty remote locations in Mexico so I am well versed in a variety of meds and situations.

About: Hello, I’m Ashlyn! If you were to ask about me to anyone who knows me, the first thing they would tell you is that I am animal OBSESSED! I have been surrounded by animals + cats alike my entire life. I currently own two big dogs (Pitbull +Aussie) + one small dog (Shih Tzu) and a cat! I strive to ensure your pet has the best experience possible while you are away. Coming from a pet parent myself I know the fear of leaving your bestfriend in someone else’s care can be a lot. That’s why I believe it is important to keep you in the loop for a stress-free time away, while also giving your animal plenty of enrichment and love to distract their worried mind while you are gone. I am experienced with a wide range of different kinds of dogs. From reactive, friendly, and anxious I have seen it all. I am more then willing to work through quirks your animal has in order to make their experience the best it can be! Some training skills I am well-versed in is leash training, socialization, basic manners, puppy care, senior care, and separation anxiety issues. I am so excited to meet your animal and give it the best experience possible! For the end of August, I currently work Tuesday’s and Sunday’s. My schedule is usually 9-5pm or 1-9pm. Starting September 1st I will be working 3-4 days out of the week. Let me know your preferred schedule and we can make it work! I am absolutely able to leave work (distance permitting) during my break to let your animal outside and let out some energy if needed! After work I am able to give your pet some exercise whether that is a walk or playing with some toys after work. For house-sitting/ drop ins- I am a firm believer that following a similar routine to what the owner (you) follows will give your pet the least stressful experience possible. I will stick to your potty schedule for your animal as well as feeding. As for exercise, I am up to whatever your dog or cat prefers! I can go for walks, play fetch, provide enrichment with feeding time or play with toys. I am always willing to go to nearby park with your pup if preferred! Whatever your pet loves and makes them feel the safest! For dog-walking, I am willing to walk however long your animal needs! Does your pet have a favorite route? Let me know and I will follow it! Any nearby trails or parks? I am always down to visit them with your pup if wanted! I have personal experience with leash-pulling and minor reactivity so as long as I am made aware of these things and have met your dog, I am more then willing to work through these things on our walk!

About: Hi there! My name is Kali, and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and they’ve always been a big part of my family. We also had a cat in the house, so I’m comfortable around both furry friends! Spending time with dogs is something I truly enjoy, whether it’s going for walks, playing in the yard, or just relaxing together. I’m patient, responsible, and always happy to match the energy level of your pup, whether they’re playful or more laid-back. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs and I understand the different levels of care and attention each one needs. I’d love to meet your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! Now through the end of August, I’m local in Winona and work remotely most days. I commute to La Crosse only on Wednesdays (7:30 AM – 3:30 PM), so I’m very available in Winona the rest of the week. Starting in September, I’ll be commuting to La Crosse Monday through Friday, and will be available for pet care after work hours. I’m also available some weekends, and I’ll always keep my availability updated here so you know exactly when I’m free. While I won’t be caring for pets in my own home, I take pride in providing attentive, respectful care in your pet’s home where they’re most comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, crating, or anything else they need within reason. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’ll treat your home and animals with care and respect!

About: I am a empty nester looking to take care of some fury friends. I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I love to stay active and would love to take your dog for a walk or run if they like. I love all dogs and I would love to take the time to care for yours! I am very flexible and know a lot about dogs in general. Both my boys are now in college and this would be a wonderful opportunity for me to do what I have always loved. My husband works full time and he also has had dogs around his whole life and is a dog lover himself. Any questions or concerns don't hesistate to ask or let me know.

About: I was a veterinary technician for over 7 years, but I’m currently switching roles to healthcare. With that said, I would love to be able to still utilize my skills and knowledge to care for people’s furry friends on the side! I am trustworthy, loving, and caring, and I would hope that if I needed somebody to walk or care for my three dogs, they would have those same qualities. ***I do work M-F so if drop offs are needed during the work week it will have to be after 4:30 or 5:30 depending on the week*** I will be working M-F, but my hours would allow me to do later afternoon dog walks/drop-ins, and I would also be available on weekends to do dog walking or in-home pet care at my house. I have two dogs of my own who love a good long walk and love being around other dogs as well. *I can do weeknight stays if needed as long as you are okay with me being at work during the day. Hours are 8:30-5 and 7:30-4 with a day off every other week* I have a large backyard that is not fenced, but my two dogs go out there hooked up to their long tie-out. I have a camera in back to monitor them but can be on my deck watching them as well. They are very friendly and love to be around other dogs. I have the ability to crate dogs if I do in-home stays and have a spacious basement where my pups love to play with their other dog friends!

About: Hi, my name is Megan. I have been volunteering at my local Humane Society, for over 2 years, so I’ve had lots of experience with so many different breeds of dogs! I enjoy all types of animals. Potty breaks I know are important along with tons of play time. I am able to learn/ adapt to your pets needs! All animals are wonderful in my eyes! Lots of pets and scratches, and belly rubs also included! I personally would love to be able to watch your pets. It’s my dream job I’d say! I’m very laidback, and have a calm personality . Also I’ll treat your pet as I would my very own. I work part time! So most days I am available to walk or watch your animals! Just message me to talk more about how I can care for your animal(s)! I would do anything for my animals. There is a fenced in big back yard! My 2 dogs love it. I keep my two dogs as healthy as possible! I love them like family.

About: I’ve been around dogs since age 10, I’ve slowly learned more about legitimate dog training since having my own dog. I prioritize dogs wellbeing over everything. I work from home on Mondays and most Fridays and usually leave the office around 4pm during the week days and am completely free during the weekends. Chat with me and we can work around your schedule and pup’s needs! I have one pup of my own in a small one bedroom apartment and for that reason do not allow in home boarding but if my pup is welcome in yours I am more than happy to stay in homes!

About: My love for animals started when I was young. I would dog sit here and there when I was little and as I grew up I started taking on more serious, committed pet sitting jobs. I am willing to look after a variety of pets. Myself I have 2 dogs, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and 2 chickens. I also am a part of a foster group. I love staying busy and I love dogs even more! I currently work full time between my three jobs but my schedule is pretty flexible. I mostly take on jobs where pets do not need someone there 24/7. I don’t take pets into my own home because of my own dogs. I also have many small animals and I don’t trust others pets around them. I like to keep the dog in their home so they are more comfortable with their surroundings.

About: I feel as a fellow dog mama to a siberian husky named Clover and a golden retriever named Harlow, the compassion and love we share for our fur babies is immensurable. I have had dogs for as long as I could remember and I now have two of my own that have been trained by me as well as my husband to do tricks as well as stay steady while we are walking! I have a daily routine with my dogs that I follow religiously whether its day or night. Dogs need that mental stimulation to be able to be a happy dog so we never skimp out on anything that has to do with exercising their brain as well as their body. This is what I plan to incorporate to any dogs that I babysit, walk, or even do drop in visits for. I have a fully fenced in yard with many enrichment toys for them outside as well as inside. We have lick mats for stimulation which we put a number of things on (I would ask about allergies and anything that isn't acceptable if your dog happens to be with me).

About: Anything you need I’m here for it! I have cared for dogs with immobility and special needs, blindness and deafness, as well as rescues. I have walked, sitted and boarded for WAG for over four years. I work at a pet care facility from 4-10:30 I am able to come check on your pup in my home (I have a roommate that will check on fur babies and make sure they aren’t getting into anything. I have my son the second and fourth week of each month for those whose pets are not child friendly. Overnights are more than welcome whether he is here or not because he gets in his high chair after he is done playing in his room when he wakes up so he’s not in their way until about 9:30 AM! I have a giant fenced yard and everything is typically put up due to having kids around the house and a habit of making sure everything is put away.

About: I have taken care of pets for a few years now. I have walked pets for neighbors, family. I also have watched plenty of dogs for neighbors family and friends! I am currently a student so I have time to visit dogs and let them outside and to play. Your dog will be my top priority! I will ensure the fence is locked as well as any rooms pets aren’t allowed in. I will always check the water before I leave as well as give them a potty break.

About: Hi! My name is Kiana! I live in La Crosse and work at Gundersen! I’m familiar with all types of dogs, and I can care for cats too! In fact, there's not many pets I wouldn't be willing to watch with the right fit. (Maybe not snakes though!) As your dog walker and sitter, I promise I will take pride in my work and treat your baby as my own. Send me a booking request and we can discuss timing and hopefully find a time that works! I always prefer to schedule a meet and greet whenever possible to go over any safety concerns, meet your pet and build trust, and to learn about your home and your fur baby! I work part time, and coming home from a long day at work to your dog or cat is the perfect end to my day! I care for your pets as my own. When I am at your home, I clean up after myself and your pet. I take pride in my work!

About: I love animals of all kinds! I’m a nurse looking to hang out with your pets on my days off. I have experience with every care need from early puppy socialization to end of life care. I haven’t met a dog yet I didn’t immediately become besties with, from the tiniest chihuahua to the biggest pittie or Dane. I’m also happy to look after any other animals you might have, from reptiles to birds to horses. Just ask and we’ll make it work! I have a rotating schedule that includes a full week off every third week. I work 5p-3a three days a week (and every third weekend). Just message and we’ll figure something out! Yours: I understand being particular about one’s home, so no reasonable request relating to my conduct there would be too much! Cleaning up after myself is a given, as is following any personal house rules. Mine: All of my animals are up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick medication, and I require the same from any animal I keep in my home. They would be kept separate from my 4 cats for the first couple of days, but with discretion and communication I would be fine with introducing them if they were interested in each other. Smoke free home.
