“Katie was great! She left detailed notes about her visits with my cat, took some pictures & did additional kind tasks that she wasn’t asked or expected to do such as bring packages in from our front porch. Will absolutely be requesting services from Katie again when we need them. I feel confident that my cat will be a content boy when we get home because of Katie’s time!”

About: I have lived with cats and dogs in my life for the last 25 years. I love them all! I have had labs, Australian shepherds, springers, mixes of breeds, etc. Pet care fits easily into my routine! As a teacher, I have evenings, weekends, and summers off, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m home most nights and have plenty of free time during school breaks, making it easy for me to give pets the attention, walks, and care they need. I love working animals into my daily rhythm — they’re a joy to be around! I care for every pet as if they were my own! Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. At home, I have a sweet chocolate lab named Willow who’s gentle and friendly with other animals. I follow any routines or instructions you provide closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or cuddle time—so your pet feels right at home, wherever they are!
“She is just the best! We never worry when she is watching Bentley! :)”
About: I have experience taking care of cats since I was 14 years old, but I personally have three cats of my own now (since 2017) - so I am very well versed in their daily needs! I work full-time (Monday to Friday) in Hudson, but I am done around 4 or 5 pm at the latest, so I would be able to check in during the evenings on your kitty! I am usually free Friday evenings, Saturday, and Sunday, as well. I reside in River Falls. Since I have three cats of my own, I am very able to fulfill their basic needs and can read their demeanor well (if they’re friendly/outgoing or would like to have space). I’m such an animal lover and every pet’s wellbeing is important to me!
About: As a passionate pet sitter, I bring a wealth of specialized skills to the table. I’m experienced in puppy and kitten training, ensuring your young furry friend learns good manners while you’re away. I also excel in providing compassionate care for senior pets, including administering medications and catering to their unique needs. With a deep understanding of animal behavior, I create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for pets of all ages. My goal is to ensure your pets feel loved and comfortable, giving you peace of mind every step of the way. I'm currently a student at UW-Stout, so I'm usually around for quick or last minute drop in for emergencies and I'm always willing to be flexible! I cannot accommodate for pets in my home, as I live in a small apartment not suitable for multiple animals. However, I will provide my best care and services wherever they are needed within each clients preferences and needs.
“Joleen came on time and was very comfortable with my 4 month old puppy.”
About: Hello and thank you for checking out my profile! Your family member will see me as one of their own, I am patient and allow them to get used to a new face. Active, adventurous and out going are a lot of traits I hold and can help your dog exert. A well exercised mind, calls for a calm well trained dog! I will come in and check up otherwise if requested I can stay at the home and keep them company! I am flexible and willing to work with your specific requirements as our dogs are our family! Please consider me when welcoming a new face into the family, I would be happy to work with your schedule. Thank you very much and have a wonderful day! Emily Flasch
“Very communicative. Very loving. Lots of great photos. 11/10!”
About: My mother breeds miniature Australian shepherds and I used to work with her for 10 years taking care of newborn, teenage, and adult dogs. I have done everything from training, bathing, giving medications, and plenty of animal loving! We would board all types of dogs big to small too. I grew up with many dogs in my household and know first hand how our animals are our children and how to care and make them feel so very loved. I am currently a flight attendant and my schedule varies month to month. The days that I am home I will be able and can send you my schedule a month in advance. I have a spacious apartment with a dog park attached as well as a wonderful walking trail to get your furry loved one the exercise they need. I do have a cat that keeps to himself but loves dogs. If you’re dog just wants the company I do allow dogs on my couch and bed. Have plenty of toys, water and food dish, and pee pee pads just in case.
About: Most of my pet care experience comes from pet sitting dogs for my neighbors, family, and friends. I also have personal experience due to living with 3 dogs of my own, and a cat. I have experience with senior dogs that have difficulty moving and are on a specific diet. I currently work part-time and as a student! Due to this, my schedule is incredibly flexible and open! Most weekday evenings, weekends, I am available! I know the importance of routine, safety, and trust when it comes to our pets. This is why I make sure to follow your guidelines to the T so that your pet is as comfortable as possible.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 10 years old. Family, neighbors, and friends have always trusted me to do so. They bring extra happiness to my every day life! I have always said, we don’t deserve animals. I have a special place in my heart for them! I am looking to do this as an extra source of income to help provide for my family. This sounds like a great opportunity for me to make some income while doing something I love! I am flexible. I have two dogs, and two cats of my own! One is a border collie ( 5 years old) who loves to herd the cats around the house and stare at them. The other is a black lab (1.5 years old) who is a big teddy bear and doesn’t know his own size but, is a gentle giant. The two cats mind their own business but, come out for cuddles every so often. They definitely love their treats! We unfortunately do not have a fenced in yard but, we have dog leads that our dogs are able to be let out on. We also let them run free when we are out there with them. They love tossing the ball around and chasing after it! Having a friendly/safe neighborhood has made it very enjoyable for walks as well. Our home has hardwood floor throughout the main living areas so, it is easy for clean up if needed! We are animal friendly 🥰🐾
“She was wonderful! Professional, knowledgeable and kind. Most people that love their animals find it stressful to leave. I can't tell you how comforting it is to find someone you trust. She treated them like I do. She checked their paws in the cold like I do and made sure they didn't get too cold. She shared pictures so I could see they were playing and happy. I will be using her again. I'm already thinking of future visits. If you choose her you will not be disappointed. Your pets will be well cared for and loved.”
About: Grew up around many species from farm animals and exotics. I own 6 dogs, 4 cats, 6 snakes and 2 geckos currently. I've been around small dogs and larger dogs all my life. I work full time in a factory but on my days off I have very flexible hours to come visit everyone's furry babies. For this reason I don't do sitting overnight often. I won't bring other animals into my home but while out with your dogs or in your home I'll follow everything told to me. If they need certain care outside of standard care just let me know
