About: For the last 21 years our home has collected experience with animals with the focus on safety and special care. I worked as a vet tech the first half of my careers life. The last 10 years or so I've worked lightly as a tech but also as a foster coordinator with a major rescue. I help teach new fosters how to safely manage, handle and even train dogs new to a home and make sure they know ways to keep there dog safe. Our home specializes in those that need extra understanding, health care or time to settle in. Dogs are our homes life. We already work around dog care schedules and appropriate trips outside all the time. I'm home all but 2 days a week and provide most mid-day walks and play time. Safety is a big factor in our home. We have years of learning and perfecting dog introductions when boarding and our dogs are very used to new guests coming in and out. When caring for dogs in my own yard but also when providing care at the owners home I always use safe leash handling skills. We dont have a fence so being aware of open doors and guests coming or going is something our whole home is always mentally aware of and our whole focus is keeping our guests safe.
“Alex was great! He handled our high energy dog very well. Millie was a happy girl when we got home! He followed our instructions and I felt very comfortable that Millie would be well taken care of on the drop in visit. Would definitely recommend Alex!”
About: Ever since I was a child, I have dog and cat sat for family, friends, and neighbors. During college my friends with pets always knew they could trust me to watch them!😊 My family got our first dog when I was in the 4th grade. I was his primary care taker: making sure to feed him, give him water, let him out, and take him on walks. I have three pets of my own who I love dearly; two cats Cheddar and Brie, and a rabbit named Bunny❤️ I have summers off so I am available to check on or walk animals during the week days! I can also do pet sitting and check ins or walks on the weekends according to my availability!😊 When working with your animal(s) I will follow any instructions given to make sure that your pets are safe and comfortable. When I am with them they will have all of my care and attention.
“We had such a great experience with Caitlin! She watched our two cats while we were out of town and did a fantastic job. She was responsible, reliable and clearly cared for our pets sending us photos of them daily. We came home to happy, well-cared for cats. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet-sitter!”

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!

About: I’ve lived with a dog my whole life I had 2 dogs for 7 years now just one sadly. I don’t mind going on long walks even runs with dogs as well. I don’t have school Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays. So those days I can work whenever. Tuesday Thursdays I’m free anytime after 4. So I have a pretty open schedule. My first priority will always be your pet. Giving it the upmost respect and care it needs. Making sure it’s happy, healthy, and safe whenever I’m with it.
About: Dogs, cats and birds have always been a part of my life. As a child, we even had a pet crow named Butch! I work from home so your fur or feather baby won’t be left alone. My last two dogs passed away after months of battling cancer. My siberian husky had nasal cancer and my papillion had lymphoma. I have experience providing palliative care for dogs that are not feeling well and probably need extra love and attention. Currently, my resident dog is a foster failure named Peppy. Occasionally, I will have a foster dog in addition to my resident dog. I would disclose that information before booking. I currently work from home and my schedule is very flexible. After work, I walk my dog either around the neighborhood or we go to Red Cedar trail or to a park in town. I can easily crate your dog if you request it but it’s ok if he/she sleeps wherever. My dog freaks out in a crate (he was a breeder release) so he sleeps wherever he chooses. He is very gentle and has no teeth so I will not care for any aggressive dog.
About: I have about 8 years of experience helping high-end breeders breed and raise puppies, I’ve trained my own dogs, cats, and horses and have also had bunnies and chickens in the past. I love animals! You get the quality for what you pay! I am currently in college, so I have plenty of time to take dogs on walks, feed, train and exercise them! I’m always willing to help! I will always make sure to keep your pet as safe and comforted as possible. If they are happy and safe then I am happy!
