Pet Sitting in Elk Mound

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely love being around animals. I’ve cared for my own dogs as well as pets for friends and family, so I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout the day. My experience includes daily walks, trips to the dog park, playtime in the backyard, feeding routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, lots of affection, or a calm, relaxed environment. You can trust that your pet will be treated like part of the family while they’re in my care. I have a very flexible schedule and am home most of the time, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, including weekdays and weekends. Because I’m home often, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can easily adjust to their normal routine, whether that’s frequent potty breaks, regular walks, or extra playtime. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I have two dogs of my own, a Beagle/Heeler and a teacup Yorkie. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special needs to ensure they receive personalized care. I’m attentive, patient, and keep a close eye on pets at all times, whether we’re indoors, outside, or on walks. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little kid. I own 2 dogs and 2 horses right now. Great with any animals! I am a full time student at DSU and I am also on the rodeo team. I only have 3 in person classes and the rest are online so I have plenty of time! Anything you need done I can do! I don’t mind high maintenance dogs/cats. I own an English bulldog so I completely understand extra maintenance! 😊

“Great communication. Took great care of my Fur Babies.”

“Amazing, we would recommend them to anyone!! Great updates, great videos!”

“Our family highly recommends Emma! She did really well and beyond our expectations with our big dogs. She responds very quickly and sends updates during the day. Which were really important for us. We felt really at ease knowing that she was the one watching our dogs and staying at our house. We actually booked her for another sitting schedule! :)”

About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of dogs since I was young. My family has a 14 year old Great Dane who I consider my baby. We have also had other smaller dogs such as a mini Aussie doodle and an Italian greyhound. I have been pet sitting dogs since I was in middle school and I always enjoyed spending time with every dog I met. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and I have experience with lifting and carrying very large senior dogs with difficulty jumping, as well as caring for dogs with sundowners. I’m also pretty good at getting most dogs to take their meds. I’m a college student so I mostly have evenings and weekends free. Getting a few hours in outside of my regular schedule is really helpful to me. I am very respectful of your space and I want to make sure the dog feels comfortable most of all. I will carefully read the list of tasks I’m left and make sure that everything gets done so that you can come back home with no concerns about your house or your pet.

“Morgan was great! My fiancé and I were out of town for Christmas and just needed someone to stop by and feed Crispy and make sure he was okay, she did just that. No complaints what so ever she made sure he would be okay until we got home the next day. We will definitely rebook in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m a big animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs, cats, and any other pets! I’m happy to match your pet’s energy and routine. My family has always had pets growing up, and I’m always the one seeking out the pets at any gathering. I love earning their trust, making them feel comfortable, and making a new furry friend. While I don’t have any pets of my own right now, I absolutely adore all of my family’s pets whenever I get to see them or care for them! I work as a barista during the days, typically a 6 hour shift sometime in the morning or during the day. Whenever I am not on shift I will be able to care for your pets! My schedule varies occasionally so if you aren’t sure if a day will work, please reach out! When caring for pets, I focus on making sure they are happy, comfortable, and feel loved. I take the time to learn about each pet so I can match their energy and routine. I make sure they get plenty of attention whether that be through playtime or cozy snuggles, and follow all of their care instructions.

About: At any point growing up, we never had less than two dogs, one cat, and one bird (Umbrella Cockatoos). My mother has volunteered at local animal shelters for years while continuing to do so today. Her genuine passion for caring for animals was passed onto my siblings and I from the moment we came home as newborns. Whether it was raising puppies/kittens, or behavior training with rescue pets, I've been around home pet care from a very young age. I've absorbed and learned more independently as I came to having pets of my own. I also worked as a Dog Groomer for a short (but busy) time in college. Over the years, I've cared for puppies/kittens, senior pets, and pets of all different behaviors. My wife and I currently have three cats and one dog at our home, so I'm actively involved in everyday pet care. I work full time Monday through Friday from 8am - 4:30pm in Eau Claire, so I'm available on the weekends or for afternoon and weeknight visits. I prioritize your pets' needs by maintaining constant attention. I'm not using the time during the visit to play on my phone. Rest assured that your pet is being watched by an experienced person who will not only keep your precious fur baby safe but will make sure it's an enjoyable visit every time.

“We could see in the pictures that Misty loved having Taryn stopping in, and we knew she was being well cared for which made our trip less worrisome.”

Dan H.

“Sophia was the best dog sitter we have ever had. She was so sweet with our dogs. And communicated extremely well. Took photos and videos so we could see how they were doing while we were gone. Will definitely be rebooking her for the future.”

Natascha S.

“Extremely nice, outstanding communication and went the extra mile to take care of all our cats’ needs. Highly recommended!”

About: Responsible, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter experienced with puppies, cats, and dogs of all sizes. Skilled in potty training, walks, feeding, bathing, medication routines, and attentive care. Pet care fits well into my routine. I’m available before 9 a.m. and after 4 p.m. on weekdays, plus flexible availability on many weekends. I provide attentive, loving care in clients’ homes by following routines, giving exercise, feeding, playtime, companionship, medication, and regular updates for a peace of mind.

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.

“Alyssa has been our sitter every time we've needed someone. She is always amazing and reliable! Our dogs are neurotic and needy so we love that Alyssa is so great with them.”

“Rachel was super accommodating for my recent trip. She took great care of my cat when she dropped in and her notes and pics helped me know everything was fine. I would highly recommend Rachel!”

About: We have had cats and dogs in our family my entire life. I was born and raised caring for our animals as family members. We have always had multiple cats and dogs, as well as assorted other critters. Last year, I lived in Madison working at a Doggy Daycare. There we had lots of training in dog body language and behaviors. I spent each day looking after a pack of at least 20 dogs. That job helped me gain lots of experience working with all kinds of different dogs, behaviors and personalities! The doggy daycare also implemented behavioral training. Each day we would work with the dogs and puppies to make sure we were working on positive behaviors with positive reinforcements! I have a part-time job in the mornings, M-F from around 10-5 at the latest. Otherwise I work from home. My husband gets done with work around 2. I live in a spacious, pet friendly duplex. The current tenants include: my fiancé and myself, our two cats, Mister and Nilla, and my leopard gecko, Echo! I have access to plenty of areas to run and play, as well as a place to get plenty of cuddles! The care I give your pets will match what they need. I know that your fur babies are special and important to you and I intend to treat them as if they were my own. My place or yours, your furry friend will feel at home!

“I felt really good about having Leah come in to provide care for my cat Lizzy. We did a meet and greet prior to the scheduled care and went through Lizzy's routine and where everything was. It takes a little while for Lizzy to warm up to someone new, and it seems that she did warm up to Leah. Really appreciate the pictures that Leah sent of Lizzy while I was gone. Very happy with her care.”

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: I grew up with taking care of multiple family dogs. As an adult, I have dog-sat and cat-sat for multiple family members. Although I currently do not have any pets of my own, I would love to help you care for your own! I am a kindergarten teacher, so I am usually gone Monday-Friday 6:30am-5:00pm. Weekend availability will just depend on the weekend! I am certainly willing to be flexible, because I just absolutely love animals! I have an open back yard that I share with other neighbors. I am able to make your personal adjustments to make sure your pet has a safe and comfortable environment.
