Cat Sitting in Downsville

“Bonnie is a wonderful cat sitter! She's super prompt, communicative, and goes above and beyond to care for my pet while I'm away. Can't go wrong with Bonnie!”

“Jess was friendly, communicative, and accommodating for our somewhat last-minute request for our cats’ drop-in visits! She shared updates and photos that let us know our pets were well taken care of while we were out-of-state. Would highly recommend - thank you, Jess!”

“Daisy loves Hailey!”

About: I have worked for roughly two years dog sitting for friends and family. Typically these have been overnight and in my own home. I am a junior year of my undergraduate degree at Marquette! I love animals, & have 2 of my own back at my families home. I love hiking with my dogs, or some days I take them to the dog park instead. I was on the pre veterinarian track for the past 10 years, & although I have recently decided to go in a different direction, I have accumulated experience shadowing and volunteering at clinics during the past few years. I’m not allowed to have pets at my college home, hence why I can’t do in home boarding, but my availability is wide open during this time! I have complete availability currently, so my dog at home gets quite a lot of walks and park time. If possible, i also try to socialize him with people each day. Typically I take my dog to the dog park in the evening with a long walk in the morning. This works best for my dogs energy levels, but each dog is different. I am also trying to socialize my dog in public as he is a bit scared of humans so we try to hit some breweries here and there.

“Rae is the owner of a cat Goose and loves her so much. She has started working with dogs about a year ago and learned so much about them. She has been nagging me to get a dog for a while now and we are planning on getting one in the near future, and it probobly won't stop there. She loves animals like she was God and she created them herself. Even if they are difficult at sometimes. I truly have never seen her work so hard to make sure not only her own but also other people's pets are taken very good care of.”

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.

“She is just the best! We never worry when she is watching Bentley! :)”

“Rachel is definitely a "cat whisperer" as she was able to make friends with our very shy and reclusive 17 year old cat Julius! Within the first few days, Julius started to play with her and cuddle with her. He has never done this with a cat sitter before! We also really enjoyed the photos that Rachel sent almost daily of Julius. She provided him with lots of attention and took him to/from the vet for his injections 3x per week. We were very happy with the way that Rachel took care of the house. When it was time for her to leave, she made sure the dishes were washed, the bed linens and towels cleaned, and the bed remade. Everything was great! While Julius was happy to see us when we got home, I think he still misses the attention that Rachel gave him. When we go on vacation again, we would be very happy to have Rachel take care of Julius.”

“I had Jillian watch my to dogs and she took very good care of the she take them for lots of walks cleaned up after them and sent me lots of pictures and videos of them the entire time I was away to ease my anxiety about leaving them home.”

“Emma is very loving and respectable to all animals. She has always been an animal lover. She would consider it a pleasure to care for someone else's animals!”

About: provide loving, experienced care for your dog, drawing from a lifetime of owning pets and growing up with a mom who’s a professional dog groomer. Whether it’s playful puppies or gentle senior dogs, your pet will feel right at home with me. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, as I work part-time at night, allowing me to dedicate my daytime hours to caring for your pets. Balancing school and family life has taught me exceptional time management, ensuring your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes to ensure your pets remain comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care needs, to give your pets the best experience possible.

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.

“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!”

“Emily is incredible with not only dogs, but all animals! She is very responsible, patient and compassionate when it comes to her interactions with dogs. She is so kind, soft and gentle around dogs. Emily is an amazing caregiver to dogs.”

“Michelle was fantastic! I felt very comfortable leaving my cats with her. She did super well with their complicated feeding instructions. She also left great descriptions on how my cats were with many photos! Will definitely book with Michelle again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and cattle. Hundeflokk LLC is also licensed and insured. Additionally, I have completed Pet First Aid Training via the Red Cross. ***Dog Walking*** Dog walking is offered Monday to Friday between 8am and 8pm. If you have a dog who can not handle walks, please contact me to arrange special care. I utilize an E-Bike with Pet Trailer during the summer, a solution that works great for senior and disabled dogs, as well as dogs who are unable to go for walks due to medical restriction (70 Lbs Max Weight for Trailer). ***Pet Sitting*** I offer pet sitting in your home beginning Friday evening until Sunday evening. This is great for weekend getaways and short trips. We spend the entire time with your pets except for a 4 hour allotment for running personal errands. The majority of the pet sitting will be at your home. We keep any keys and codes secured, offer daily pictures and updates, as well as a final report upon your return. If there are any emergencies you will be contacted right away, less the time it takes to stabilize the situation. Safety is the main priority and we understand the importance you place in your your pets care, as do I. As part of my supplies, I have a leash with couplers, waste bags, and first aid supplies. I operate under both Rover and my own LLC, which carries commercial pet care insurance.
