Dog Sitting in Elk Mound

About: I have cared for dogs and cats for most of my life and grew up in a home where animals were always part of the family. Throughout my childhood, we always had both a dog and a cat, which gave me the opportunity to understand and support pets through all stages of their lives. Being raised around animals has brought me so much joy, and I truly love spending time with them, whether that’s playing, going for walks, or simply giving them attention and affection. In addition, I have three years of experience walking dogs, which has helped me develop patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of different temperaments and needs. If you choose me to care for your pet, I promise to treat them with the same love and attention I would give my own, and to care for them to the very best of my abilities. I'm currently a student and work a part-time job; however, I usually have 2-hour gaps in my day. This is to accommodate time to take your pet out to potty, go for walks, or just have some playtime. Then after 3 pm I am free during the evenings. I’m unable to host pets in my own home; however, I will treat your home with the utmost respect and ensure your pet receives the same love, care, and attention I would give my own.

About: They say to do what you love and make a career out of it. I’m just grateful my career gets to be with dogs. I currently work at a doggy daycare/boarding facility in the area, so I am certified with dog and cat behaviors and have seen the ups and downs of our fur babies, and I am still standing here happy to tell you all about their stay/session. I have also grown up with working farm dogs and have gone on to own a Great Pyrenees who isn’t quite a working dog but sure does “work” like one. Thank you for reading through my short history and I am super excited to update this with my accomplishments to come! Pet care for me starts at dawn lol My pups come for cuddles and a potty break first sight of my eyes opening. Most of the time this does align with my work schedule in the 6 am timeframe. I do work part time and in those morning shifts end roughly at 12-3 however my partner is typically home before me to let the pups outside. While I personally do not have a yard, my family does own large pasture fields and hills that we will typically walk daily. These colder seasons do affect how often we go out due to the snow and unplowed hills. However in that safe weather we make it a main priority to keep active with our pups to maintain a healthy and long life for them. Safety is priority number one. Thankfully my family is pretty much set up for success here. We are knowledgeable for food, behavior, and play safety with dogs and cats. Signs and symptoms of common issues with dogs and cats, based off personal experiences, and possible fears of what ifs, urinary cat blockages and bloat, or bloody stools. And while I understand dog body language and know how to avoid those tense situations dogs can create, I am incredibly quick to say when we are going to the emergency vet, gosh forbid.

About: Hi there! My name is Michelle and Ive been a pet owner since I was a child. My family always had dogs, cats, pocket pets, and the occasional tarantula. Im the niece of a large animal veterinarian whose clinic I volunteered at after school and summers. Currently my husband and I are owned by a Labrador Retriever and an English Setter. We are active with a national English Setter rescue, which is where our beautiful boy came from, and run volunteer transports of dogs on their way to foster or forever homes. Im semi-retired! My routine is whatever it needs to be from day to day. Im a firm believer in being flexible to meet the situation's needs. Your pets would never be alone. We also have 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company and walks, along with outdoor play would help with mental stimulation.

“Desiree was very patient with our English Springer Spaniels! She also went above and beyond the scheduled services. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a small girl, I grew up always having pets and I always love taking care of them. I live on a small hobby farm with goats and chickens and I love taking care of them too! I have 3 dogs and 1 cat and I would do anything for them. I have taken care of puppies a few times but not too much. I am currently going to school but I have plenty of time on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and some weekends. I have specific times during the weekdays but that can be further discussed! I live in a dorm right now so I can’t have any animals here unless if they are quiet and that they are very well potty trained

About: I have worked with and cared for animals since I was 12 for fitness and family. I have always grown up with animals of all kinds. I have trained all my dogs I’ve had myself. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as dogs with behaviors such as reactivity. I work in a school during the school year and can come those days before 10 and after 2:30. Summers I have plenty of time to spend and play with your fur babies. Weekends I am pretty busy but can make time to spend with your pets. I have a big 4 acre yard with the ability to crate or leash your dog if needed. I have two cats in my home and my family has 3 dogs in their home on the property. I am willing to work on training and work around a feeding schedule if needed. I am very flexible and am willing to do what will make your pet the most happy.

About: I have grown up taking care of animals since I was a little girl and I used to walk all the neighborhood dogs. My loving and caring approach to pet care is what sets me apart. I used to help my mom foster animals from the local shelter so I have a lot of experience with housebreaking, basic obedience training, socialization, behavioral managment, and senior pet care, like special dietary needs, care plans, health monitoring, and medication administration. I have a deep commitment to helping and loving animals. I have plenty of time to play with your pups because I am working part-time and school is our for the summer! I believe it is very important for them to get the necessary exercise and care that they deserve! My availability is very open! I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I provide a safe pet-proofed house, with a very friendly dog of my own who would love to keep your fur babies company! I do not have a fenced in yard but I have a tie out that provides your pet with the opportunity to hang out and run around in the yard, safely. I can also provide separate areas of the house for them to rest and relax if needed. I am very good at keeping routines, including feeding schedules, exercising and play times, and comfortable accommodations for any pet! I am respectful of others homes and like to keep things tidy and clean, while providing peace of mind tonpet owners!

About: Hi! My name is Rebecca, I have a nice year old, mid-sized, mixed, rescue dog who is super sweet and loves having dog friends over! I have been a pet owner my entire life and have seven years of experience with in-home dog care for as many as four dogs at a time. I love to run with the dogs, let them play with my dog, play catch, take dogs to the dog park, or simply love on your fur baby! We have a fenced in backyard where our dogs can safely run and play if you so wish! I have experience with all dogs, from very old to very young. I have administered many medications to dogs, including insulin. I would love to meet you and your pup! Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can provide any references for you! I promise to take great care of your dog, and send pictures if you would like! I do have a 3 year old daughter and a 5 year old daughter who are great with dogs as well so if you are looking for overnight care your dog must be child and dog friendly! I am currently off for the summer from my job so I am available mostly every day to take your dog in or visit your dog if needed! I have a large fenced in backyard and one 5-year-old Australian Shepard mix that would be happy to keep your dog company! Dogs that are crate trained are a plus, but not a necessity

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since for the past 10 years. I love to run, play catch, or just sit and pet furry friends. Whichever suits them the best. I currently have a full time job and am free to care for your pet after 4pm most days or on weekends. I am flexible during the evening. I would love to take your pet out on walks or just hang out with them in your apartment whichever works best for you and your pet!

“Allison was great!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and i’ve always been the designated care taker for my family and friends pets! I was home all of winter raising and training my parents puppy, and I go home frequently to help them out. My dog that passed away was very sick and I would have to give him special care while my parents were at work. I’ve had a Jack Russel Terrier, Pitbull Boxer mix, and an Australian Shepard, so I have had very energetic dogs with varying personalities. I’ve cat sit before, and every time my neighbors were out of town I would take care of their two dogs! I have a lot of experience caring for animals, and I love animals of every kind and size. I’m extremely patient with animals, and I understand the warning signs dogs will give us. I consider myself very comfortable with taking care of animals. I work once a week at a small job here in Eau Claire. I’m currently taking online classes at the university, so I have a very open schedule. I should be available most weekdays at varying times! I will follow instructions and do whatever makes the client comfortable. I will give endless love to your puppy. I will take them on their normal amount of walks and make sure they get exercise. As i said above I have experience with all age ranges of dogs and all sizes!

About: I bring a calm, friendly presence that helps pets feel safe and relaxed while their people are away. I’ve grown up with animals and currently care for a few clients’ pets in Eau Claire — including a 3-week stay with multiple pets. I know how important routines are, and I pride myself on clear communication, clean homes, and happy tails. Whether it’s a quick walk or a full house sit, I’ll follow your instructions to the letter and treat your pets like my own. I’m flexible, detail-oriented, and truly love getting to know each animal’s personality. My goal is always to create a stress-free experience — for both you and your furry family. Pet care can fit seamlessly into my routine. I currently bartend and this allows for more flexibility and available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, or house sitting throughout the week — your pet’s needs come first in my day! I have no pets at my home so my casa is your pets casa with no interference. At my 8 plex building there is a much area to run around if they can be off leash otherwise the area is great to walk for potty breaks at anytime. I live in a safe, quiet and less trafficked area which will be great for walks!

“Sarah did a great job taking care of my cats!!”

About: I’ve raised and trained my own dog, Duke, since he was just a tiny puppy—he’s now 5 years old and my best buddy. Through that experience, I’ve learned how to handle everything from puppy energy to building good habits and keeping dogs happy and healthy as they grow. I truly love spending time with dogs and treat every one like my own. Whether your pup needs extra playtime, patience, or just some good company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’m currently taking classes at CVTC and doing physical therapy for a sports-related injury I had a few months ago, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule. When I’m not in class or at therapy, I love spending my time with dogs—whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy being active, responsible, and around animals every day. I always treat every pet and home with respect and care. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I follow your pet’s usual routine closely—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medications—so they feel right at home. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and to treat your pet like one of my own.
