House Sitting in Downing

About: I've been an animal lover my whole life, and that love just seems to keep growing the older I get. I've had a variety of resident pets over the years, including hamsters, birds, chinchillas, cats and dogs. I've been fostering through an animal rescue for 8 years and have cared for up to 20 animals at once, in my home. I started whelping a year and a half ago so I have extensive experience with dogs of all ages, newborn to senior. I am comfortable with all animals and look forward to meeting your beloved family member(s)! I currently work part time at an animal sanctuary for special needs cats and dogs. My schedule is flexible on most days and we can work something out on the two days a week I am at work I have a farm with a large fenced in yard and 2 very friendly dogs that can keep yours company. I also have a chihuahua who absolutely loves people, but takes a little bit to warm up to a new furry face. I also have 2 super laid back cats who will observe from a distance. I have a dedicated puppy room that your dog can stay in; I can also crate them if needed or more comfortable for them or can let them hang with the family as much as they'd like to. We do let our animals on furniture but will adhere to any "rules" you have in place for your pet. We've had many animals come through our home on a temporary basis and do whatever we can to ensure they feel safe and comfortable.

“Desiree has been the biggest delight to work with. Her communication is impeccable. Any questions I have asked she has responded immediately answering all questions and then some. We could enjoy our time away with family knowing our babies were in good hands. She kept me updated as to how they were throughout. We were so pleased that we have already booked our next visit.”

“Jenny put up with our ridiculous Frenchies and even collected eggs from the chickens each day. The house was in the shape we left it and she communicated each day with updates. Would recommend!”

About: I have been taking care of animals for most of my life. I have been entrusted in taking care of family and friend’s animals. I know people see their animals as part of the family and will ensure that your pets still feel that love even when you can’t be around. I’m currently working part time evening shifts, so I will have plenty of time during the day when you are at work! I also have weekend availability Since I will be taking care of your animal in your own home, I will be happy to abide by your pets usual schedule. You know your own home, so you will be happy to know your pet is in a safe, familiar environment!

About: I have over 18 years of experience house and animal sitting from overnights to up to 6 weeks in duration; caring for not only dogs but also horses (full boarding barn to a couple of pasture horses), cats, fish, rabbits, goats, chickens, etc. I know what it's like to worry about my pets when I'm away, so I strive to give top notch care, follow all instructions, and have fun with your dog! All while keeping you updated with pictures/texts on how they're doing. I am happy to provide most any dog/house sitting arrangement, walking/visit or boarding. At our country home we have a peaceful and fun environment and private large field that is kept mowed. Your dog will be supervised very closely. Non smoking home. Thank you for considering me; I hope you have a great day! I am a stay at home mom to one and I am home most or all of the day. We are very flexible but also stay on schedule and can accommodate your dog's routine. We live in the country and have ample space for private walks as well as a large mowed field. I supervise very closely and am diligent about keeping your dog as safe as possible on leash while still having fun and exercising. I will feed and take dog out following all instructions.

“Rachel was a lifesaver for us. Very accommodating and helpful. I have pretty complicated feeding and medicine instructions due to some recent health issues with my pets and Rachel followed them fairly well as far as I could tell when I got home. She was really communicative during the stay and sent a lot of pictures which was great.”

About: I’ve worked at a kennel located in New Richmond, WI since I was 16, so animal care is not new to me! I found that my love for animals is something that I should put to use, so here I am! Throughout my career at the kennel, I have bathed, fed, exercised, and even provided at home care for multiple dogs! I also assisted with newborn puppy delivery and nurturing/caring for puppies ranging from newborn - 8 weeks. I also spent the entire 2022 summer working at a local vet clinic as a Veterinary Technician Assistant. I am a college student at UW-Stout, with in-person classes occurring only 2 hours/day! I want to spend that quality time with you pet to create a bond that we can hopefully continue in the future! I have a friendly Golden Retriever and 7 month old kitten that will keep your pet comfy and feeling “at home” during their stay! I want to provide the upmost comfort whether I am hosting or caring for your baby at your own home.

About: Growing up on the farm we had lots of pets. For me dogs are like best friends they walk with you and they are so happy to see you when you show up . Just in general dogs and cats are loveable creatures and they all need to be loved just like humans do. I use to clean homes for people and if they had dogs or cats they are the first I like to meet for a minute just like anyone would do if you showed up to see a baby for how cute or you get that instinct . I just in General love animals even though I was chased by a dog that tried biting me I would not let that fear show and move on. I also have 1 dog 1 cat 2 fish and 2 lizards that live with me.

About: My main hobby is that I love to go for walks & enjoy nature. That hobby is made even more enjoyable with a furry friend accompanying me. Dogs are such a gift to our world, I believe in treating them as such. I would love the opportunity to be friends with your pet, offering them quality care, fun, affection, & well-rounded attention upon the occasions that you (their most special human/s), are unavailable to them. I work from home most days. I am also available on weekends to have your family member at my house or come see them at yours. I am available for over night guests. I live on 3 acres so I do not have a fence. I do allow animals on the furniture if that’s what you want. Excited to play
