House Sitting in Fond du Lac

About: I grew up having dogs around and they are my favorite animal! My family has been fortunate to adopt 3 dogs, so far, in my life: a Black Lab-Dachshund, a Bassett Hound, and an Australian Cattle Dog; all very different dogs! I also have the experience of watching family & friends animals over the years! Having been around so many different types of dogs has taught me how many different behaviors and reactions they have depending on the environment or people it is/has been surrounded by. At the end of last year I got married and moved to Fond du Lac and have been looking at some part time work. I am very flexible with scheduling right now! I will ensure your pets comfort, safety, and well-being by learning their daily schedules and rules by their owners. I understand that comfort, safety, and trust comes in three parts, the owner, the pet, and myself; and will respect all parties.

“Carissa care and attention to the details required of house sitting and pet sitting exceeded our expectations. She is an excellent communicator, sharing questionable experiences and how she handled it, professionally with compassion and care. I appreciated the occasional pictures and update, just enough that I could feel comfortable with a ‘stranger’ staying in the house and completely enjoy vacation. I hope to contract Carissa again-she is no longer a stranger, and the animals love her!”

“Hannah did great with our boys! It’s always a lot to trust someone with your fur babies and your home, but she made it easy. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Abby was AMAZING Not only was she able to step in last minute as our other sitter bailed, she loved our dogs as much as we do! She sent many pictures and updates! Took them on nice long walks and gave them all the love and attention. I was so happy I didn’t have to worry at all about my dogs while I was away! She also cleaned our home and kept it neat and tidy! We will for sure be using Abby in the future!”

“Madison took care of my four babies while we were out of the country. She sent updates everyday and I could tell from the pictures they had a great time! Madison is extremely reliable and trustworthy and I would definitely book with her again.”

About: I have always loved animals. I grew up taking care of dogs and now that I have moved away from home, I found that I love watching other's pets. I have experience watching my friends and families pets, which gave me a lot of experience caring for different breeds of dogs, ranging from smaller to bigger dogs. I have the patience and experience to make your dog feel safe and cared for. I am currently enrolled in college and I have time in between classes for pet care and most of my nights after 3:00pm are mostly open. During the summer months, I am very flexible because I work part time and get to pick my hours for work. I do not have a problem with the pet being free roaming throughout the apartment while I am there, but I can use a crate if thats what the owner is more comfortable with. While taking the pet outside, I will always put them on a leash because I do not have a fenced in yard. I am pretty flexible with how the owner wants the pet to be cared for, as long as that is communicated in advance.

About: Grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. Started pet and house sitting in my early teen years for dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as cats, fish and turtles. Additionally, I have a degree in animal and dairy science and spent half a year as a veterinary assistant at a clinic. I work a full- time job that is typically 8am-4:30pm with some earlier mornings and nights as needed. But schedule can be somewhat flexible to fit your needs! I’d love to care for whatever your pet needs, walking, playing, feeding or just spend some time with them. I’m comfortable taking care of any special needs for your pets as well such as treats, meds, crating etc. and always making sure they are safe, secure and well taken care of!

About: In the 10 years of my adulthood, I have cared for my own pets as well cared for the pets of friends and family. This does not include the total of 27 years I’ve been around and cared for animals but I will just be focusing on my care as an adult. I adopted my own dog from the humane society 2 years ago. I also rescued an elderly dog when I was 21, but she has since crossed the rainbow bridge. When I adopted my dog Izzy as a pup, I made sure to take the time to enroll her in puppy training classes so we could both grow and succeed together the best way for us. I ensure any pet that I care for gets exercise, love, fresh water, fed, and goes on adventures with me! With my passion for dogs, I have made the decision to open up my time to help care for others. I currently work full time at a dental clinic. I am available early mornings, evenings, and most weekends. I can also be available for a lunch break potty break and cuddles! If caring in my home; I follow your pets daily schedule as close as I possibly can. If caring in your home; I can follow your instructions and schedule.

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs basically my whole life. I currently have 2 dogs and 5 cats, and also foster dogs part time. I work full time 8am-4pm, Monday through Friday, but I live with my boyfriend who works part time, so he’s basically home when I’m not. I also have experience with sick and disabled animals, such as giving medication, administering insulin, and I know pet CPR. My boyfriend and I both have pretty flexible schedules, so we’ll be able to let out/walk as needed. I’m currently working full time, 8 hour days, 5 days a week, but I live with my boyfriend, and he is currently doing online schooling full time, so he will be home with your pup when I’m at work. I have a fenced in yard that they’ll be able to run around and play with my 2 dogs. I also have 2 kennels in case your dog needs to be kenneled at night, or when I’m not home.

“Sarah is the exact person you are looking for to care for your pet while you’re away. They are enthusiastic and ask important questions. They also send updates and photos while you’re away. We will use Sarah to watch our dog whenever we are away and they have availability.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 8 years old. It has always been a passion of mine. I would always walk the neighbors dog’s and my family always relied on me to take care of their animals . I absolutely love animals. I am a volunteer at the local Rescue Group. I occasionally foster dogs that come from New Mexico that were going to be euthanized for space. I am a dog owner that will love your pets like my own. I have been a owner and dog sitter for years. I am flexible and available to customize to your dogs needs. I offer long walks, feedings, and lots of love and company. My dogs Hudson and Sadie are my pride and joy. I spend a lot of time outside with them and inside enrichment toys and puzzles. Sadie is a Blue Heeler and she needs lots of mental stimulation. I also have a kitten named Oreo who thinks he is a dog. I work from home so I am home 90% of the time. Please feel free to message me and we can talk about your dogs needs. I can send you pictures throughout the stay if you would like as well. I am home 80% of the time. It is something I am passionate about and love. I also run a small business from home so never worry about your fur babies being alone. I have three dogs of my own so adding a few more to my daily routine makes it just a little more fun. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I have two of my own dogs to keep your animals active and playing. I do prefer the dog to be crated at night for their safety. I have an alarm system as well as outside video surveillance.

“Lisa was exactly who we were hoping for as a sitter for Buddy. It was our and his first time overnight and she made it very comfortable for all of us. We received some fun photos of Buddy as well. Lisa gave us a full report when we got home. The best news was seeing Buddy going to the door after Lisa left and he was asking us when is she coming back! Highly recommended!”

About: I have rescued pets and trained them as well as handled dogs since they were puppies. My father was a reputable dog breeder and my daughter is a vet tech. I'm currently working part-time M-F and will have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available weekdays after 4 and weekends for sitting or boarding.I I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can also provide a private room and/or crate for your dog if they prefer to just be by themselves. Otherwise, I can stay and/or visit your pet in your home and offer walks to exercise.

About: I grew up around dogs and now own two of my own and understand how to take care of them in a way that fun and gives the parents peace at mind when they are with me. I currently work full time for Aurora health care Friday - Sunday 6am-6pm. I love doing drop ins during the week and can also house sit during the weekends as long as it’s okay for pets to be left alone for 12 hours. I have a fenced in yard and also have a crate if needed. I also don't give treats unless approved before hand and will provide close care and watch over them while im watching them.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. We live in the country and we always had at least one dog at all times. Currently we have a 10 lb Chihuahua mix, Joker, and a 155 lb mastiff, Leo. We take many hikes and walks all around Wisconsin. They love going up north with us! I enjoy having dogs that are always up for an adventure with me, even if it’s just around the block. When a friend mentioned Rover I was super excited to try it out because it would give me a chance to interact with other dogs in the area. I also love being outdoors and walking/hiking. Rover will give me a fun excuse to get outdoors and exercise, with an added benefit of a furry friend!

“She was absolutely incredible with our fur babies. Nya our Rottweiler was so good for her and she responded fast when I asked how things were going. I would definitely be booking with Katie again… thank you so much.”

About: I've had three black labs in my life, who have turned me into a dog obsessed human! When I attend social gatherings, I am usually found hanging out with the dog giving it some loving attention. When I was younger I walked my neighbors' dogs. One of these dogs was deaf and I learned different ways to communicate with him. I am friendly and compassionate and will provide your pet with warmth and snuggles while you are away! I work full time during the week, but evenings and most weekends I'm free to care for dogs. Whether your pup is looking for a quick walk, a mozy around the neighborhood, an active, engaging play session, or an overnighter- I will, with the occasional help of my labrador, Bella along with our dog friend, Frankie, make sure to keep your pup happy and occupied. I have a fenced in yard, a couple of friendly dogs of my own, and can crate your pup with their own crate, so please provide if crating is preferred. I prefer a meet and greet to ensure a good fit for your pup. That would look different depending on the service. Dog walking and House Sitting: I will meet you and your fur friend at your home - this will help establish trust and familiarity for the dog while you are there. At this point we can go over the safest entry into your home, routines for your pup, and any specific care requirements. Doggy Day Care and Boarding: You will meet at my home. Where I will bring my two dogs out to meet you and your pup (everybody leashed) and we can talk and sniff and ensure initial vibes are correct for everybody's safety. When we confirm that the dogs are showing no signs of threat/discomfort, we can move everybody into the gated area of our yard and let your dog off leash. We have lots of smells and space to roam about, so this should be an exciting little adventure for your friend. At this point you can share any specific care instructions and routines important to your dog's happiness.

“Great experience! My very timid pup seemed very at ease and comfortable upon return. Will definitely hire Cheri again for pet sitting! Thanks Cheri!”

“Rachel was amazing. Great communication throughout the whole process. We hesitate leaving our sweet, old boy alone but had no qualms after meeting Rachel. Would recommend her to anyone!”
