About: I have grew up with dogs all my life, and had a very demanding great Dane for eight years of his life, and I am now going through the journey of Owning a cat, I Shadowed in vet clinics before so I know a little bit and that Area. I love bathing animals as well. I’m not sure why but I’ve always wanted to be a pet groomer. I do have a full-time job, but am currently working to get a more animal centered job. I am currently available Saturday and Sunday anytime, and anytime after 7 pm weekdays. I personally believe I am a guest in the animals home so treating everything with respect and making sure I have my attention on the animal in the best way shape or form while giving them love and attention.

7. Sidney K.
“She is the best dog mom I have ever seen. She has grown up her whole life around dogs, and she has never met a dog she doesn’t love, and the dogs love her as well. She would be amazing at building relationships with the animals, to make walking or sitting easier for everyone, mostly the dogs.”

10. Cydney P.
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.

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


12. McCabe D.
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.


13. Jillian W.
“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.”




14. Emily F.
“Emily is incredible with not only dogs, but all animals! I have seen her interact with and handle dogs and I was amazed at how compassionate she is in how she treats them and handles them. She’s incredible!”

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.

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.




18. Heather S.
“Heather, I have known since birth, and she is really an animal lover......in fact, I'm convinced she has the ability to communicate with animals. They are drawn to her............I tell you, someone could give Heather a rattle snake and pretty soon she'd be in love with it. No kidding. Val J.”


19. Brynn H.
“We have 3 dogs, a Labrador, Toy Poodle, and an Old English Bulldog. They all love her! I am able to trust Brynn with all of my fur babies and feel comfortable to let her into my home. I highly recommend if you are in need of someone to care for your pets.”


20. Gretta K.
“Gretta is amazing with animals and has helped me with my cat Luna for years now. Helps with feeding and overnight care. She is very caring and responsible.”
