“Annette was wonderful! I could tell my pets were well-loved and taken care of. Highly recommend!”

“I am thrilled with finding Nicole to take care of Daisy! She does an amazing job and is great at communicating and sending pics after each visit. We will definitely be using her again.”


“Mellisa is an over-achieving dog sitter, who wouldn’t want that! She engaged with our two 5 month pups the whole time and tuckered them out. She sent a handful of photos and a summary of their time together which gave us joy and peace of mind. Highly recommend!”


About: My entire life I have been raised with lots of animals and was always so excited to play with the pups. I have always had a thought about wanting to become a dog trainer and when I bought my first dog that was my own it showed me that I really am interested in an animal focused career! I currently do not work, so I fortunately have all the free time to spend time and play with these sweet and amazing fur babies! I will always follow the clients wishes and preferred schedule. I know how scary it can be leaving your animal with someone else and not being able to be there:(

“Emily went above and beyond with our puppies. She sent pictures every day, spent LOTS of outdoor time with them and did everything she could to make sure they were not only taken care of, but happy. When she left she cleaned up to the point that we hardly knew she was here. Highly recommend, will definitely be hiring her again!”


“She did a wonderful job of keeping me informed and making my fur babies comfortable while I was away.”


About: I have been pet-sitting for a little over a year. I check water, food, and keep company to cats and dogs. I also have experience watching/walking puppies as young as 6 weeks. I am currently in school and have a part-time job. I am available for walking, house-sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding every Weekday and Sundays. I can do mornings, and afternoons. I have a half-acre yard that is readily accessible for your companion animals to run around in. I also have a large dog crate available. I will go to extreme measures to ensure your animal is safe and happy with me whatever the task.

“Our baby boy was so well taken care of! We were nervous using this service for the first time but all was well. We got picture updates which was so helpful to me personally and he was a happy pup when we got home!”


About: I am experienced in pet care! I have been around animals my entire life, and have cared for many. I love making sure they are not only properly taken care of, but also being given the chance to live their best lives! I am currently a student at UWSP, so my weekdays tend to be fairly busy, but I have plenty of breaks in between for check ins and walks. I am also able to care for pets while multitasking during long nights studying. My personal pets are always a priority to me. I make sure they are fed proper amounts, have a clean space to live and use the bathroom, and most importantly I make prioritize giving them love and affection. While more active animals, I tend to give them plenty of opportunities for exercise, utilizing the large space by my apartment complex. I am always finding creative ways to enrich my animals!

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of all kinds of animals! I took care of cows, horses, pigs, goats, chickens, quails, frogs, dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, hamsters and rats! I have always been a major animal lover and continue to be! I love spending time with my pets and for my friends and families pets too! I currently am a full time server. My shifts are usually about 6 hours long, which gives me lots of time to take care of the animals. I usually run my dog in the morning and evening, and spend time with her at the park and other places I go to. Sometimes Cardi, Boat and I just like to hang out in the yard and have a cup of coffee! I have a mostly fenced in yard in the back of my house, that my dog spends the most time playing in! I often take walks and go to the park and many other places. When I pet sit for my friends and family I work with what they have in their home. At my home I also have a long lead so they can safely play in the yard!

About: I have always had a love for animals. They hold a special place in my heart.

I will treat your dog as if it’s mine and love him/her to death(: You’ll never have to worry about your dog not getting the care it needs when I’m around! Overall, I’m a huge dog lover and would love to take care of your furbaby! I am currently off of work so I will have almost every day to walk/drop by your fur baby during the day! And when I get back to work I will still love to walk and do drop ins! My own dog has her own fenced in yard. She is pretty old so I don’t have to worry about her running off but if any client has a request for a leash or if I don’t see a fenced yard I will make sure to always use a leash on your pet! I will always make sure they are safe and sound!

About: I have taken care of dogs of multiple breeds and all ages. Neighbors, friends, and family member have put their faith in me to care for all their animals!

I have a 4 year old cat that gets along with cats and dogs. I have grown up with dogs all my life and I enjoy taking them out to play!

“Kaitlyn is a warm gentle souls and my animals sensed that. Usually my cats hide until we come home and come out when the persona is sleeping bit not for Kaitlynn! Wasn’t a couple hours in and the cats were both seen and the one that is most aloof with strangers was out first flopping around on the living room carpet. It ticked me pink to know the my animals saw in her what i had. A kindred spirit. She sent me updates and cute pictures and it made me happy. I would definitely recommend her to someone who is looking for someone who feels like me -“picky” with who watches their babies. My dog warmed up to her after the proper sniffing and inspection and even slept with her for a little of the night. So once again when my dog approves of her that once again solidified my decision that she was a good one. I always listen to my my dog when it come to good or bad people when meeting them for first time. Kaitlyn is wonderful kind gentle personable and respectful and would recommend her 1000000000 times over!”


“Molly was terrific, Cooper adjusted to her very quick and that's very special.”
