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: 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.

“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: 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: 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.

“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!”

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

Cody K.

“Cydney was great with Macie and Honey. I would book her again.”

David K.

“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.”

“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: Hi there! I’m Destiny & have owned an array of furry friends over the years. I have never NOT had a pup and have owned many different breeds. Currently I own cattle dogs- an Aussie named Marley and Heeler/Collie mix named Sadie. They are 4, I trained them myself & they are extremely well behaved and socialized. I offer boarding, day care, dog walking, and can bathe your pup before returning them home to you. I can also pick up and drop off when needed. I can also house sit and pup sit if that is your need/comfortability as well. I am up for & encourage meet & greets before bookings if you would like to meet myself, the pups and/or see the house and our setup before hand! I work during the normal school year as a nursing instructor. I am off during the summer and am home FULL TIME to dedicate ALL of my time & attention to the fur babies! I promise your baby will be tuckered out, loved on and well fed (to your instructions of course!) Boarding at my home: safety is my top priority with animal to animal interaction and human to animal interaction. If pups need more alone time/privacy, they can be housed separately from my dogs at all times as we have multiple access points from our home to our fenced in yard and gate sectioning in our house. I do walks daily with them and am outside with them as well for the majority of the day. Our fenced in yard has a dog pool and I have BUCKETS of toys for them to play with! If your pup leans toward the spicier side & is more protective when it comes to their toys, food, or water please let me know and separation accommodations can be made, no problem. All breeds are different and each pup is different. I can also give medications topically, orally, injections etc. I can provide hourly updates through text, video call, phone calls, whatever you would like! At minimum I send a daily update. In your home: as a nurse, safety is always my top priority. I am also extremely clean and organized. I can maintain your daily routine with your pup so they don’t miss much while you are away. Again, meet and greets I encourage so you and especially your pup are comfortable meeting me and being in your home. I’ll be their make-shift auntie while you are away! Whatever update/care you want them to have, you got it- even FaceTime dates so you don’t have to miss them much.

“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!

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: My wife Courtney and I grew up with cats and dogs as pets our entire lives and currently have two pets of our own. We currently have a female golden doodle, Lucy and a three legged cat, Donna! We recently lost our older little dachshund and it has left a huge hole in our family. We have experience with dogs of all sizes and have kept dogs up to three weeks with the owners out of country! Fun fact: I am a Chiropractor and have experience with adjusting animals as well! Courtney works a flexible schedule and we have an animal-loving daughter that attends UWEC who will give your pets all the attention they can handle when she’s around! Your pets will be in great hands and recieve lots of love when staying with us. We love cuddling on the couch, walking the trails in our neighborhood, playing tug with all Lucy’s favorite toys and playing fetch in the back yard. Drew works Monday through Friday but finishes seeing patients at 12pm on Fridays so he is available for afternoon drop offs through Sunday night for pickup. Our “during the week” availability depends on the needs of your pet which can be discussed before booking! Courtney’s schedule is flexible and can provide potty breaks throughout the day and occasionally works from home. We have an open back yard and live at the end of a cul de sac so your pets will be safe to play. We also have walking paths through our dog friendly, low traffic neighborhood. We spend lots of time outside with our dog and can provide a safe environment for yours as well. We never leave our dog outside alone since we do not have a fenced yard. We can provide a tie out if you have any worries about your dog not responding to a new persons commands. There is plenty of time spent lounging on the couch watching movies or hanging out while we play cards or board games as well. Since our daughter is off to college, we have a pretty quiet, laid back house, which can be nice for anxious pets. Your companion will have no lack of attention when they stay with us including lots of snuggles and treats (if that’s okay with you!)!

“Jenna is awesome! She took care of my senior cat while I was out of town for a week. She is on quite a few medications for various health problems and I felt she was in very good hands with Jenna, who gave me daily updates on how she was eating and her litter box use status. My cat unfortunately developed a UTI while I was gone and Jenna took her to the emergency vet for me and was willing to go above and beyond and come super early the next morning to give her the antibiotic she needed. She was also super helpful in checking my mail daily as I live in an apartment and quite a few packages delivered while I was gone. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Our dog Baxter and Celeste became immediate friends. A great start.”

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: 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.
