House Sitting in Fort McCoy

About: I have had and taken care of dogs of all age ranges over the years. I used to foster and take in rescues, so I’m used to all types of doggie personalities, sizes and ages. My dogs are like my children, and I will treat yours with the same love and care as my own. I am experienced with smaller and bigger dogs, and am adaptable to whatever their routine and needs may be! I want you to feel comfortable, knowing your babies are being taken care of while you’re at work or away. I usually work Thursday through Saturday, but sometimes that changes. Even if I have something planned on a day off, it’s something I can usually work around a walk or drop in easily. I live in a home where my fur babies have a fenced in area, as well as a free roam area. Im okay walking your pup or letting them out into a fenced area, whichever you prefer. My pups are crate trained so I am happy to make sure yours is safe and secured in theirs before I leave if that’s something that you use for their safety. Each pet is different, so I will look to your instructions for specifics on how to handle your fur baby and make the visit most enjoyable for them.

“Kimberly was great! She took excellent care of my pit bull. She was responsive and sent photos and updates just as I asked. I’ll definitely trust Kimberly again to watch my dog!”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up. Sometimes up to 5 dogs at a time and horses too! So I have lots of experience with animals of various sizes. From chihuahuas and cocker spaniels to German Shepherds and poodles. I currently own a very friendly sterilized full sized golden doodle. He loves all dogs, humans and human puppies and he is down to play non-stop or nap all afternoon. Either one is fine with him. My dog is up to date on vaccines and flea + tick medication. I live in a house on .25 acres with 6ft fenced back yard. Large couch with pup-covers. Kiddie pool available for those who like to swim. Whether your pup is staying with me, or we are going on a walk, they are sure to have fun and I will spoil them just as I would my own! Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I’m home most of the day. Lots of time for pets and walks. Happy to adapt my schedule to your pups needs. Let me know what the ideal day looks like for them.

About: I’ve been taking care of Dogs since I was 8 different types of dogs. This allowed me to understand different types of dog behavior. It's been a true passion of mine to take care of dogs. I'm currently free as of now. I have time to house sit just about anytime of the week whether it's a weekend or a weekday at any time scheduled. I have a fenced-in yard that sits around 2 acres which allows bigger or smaller dogs to be able to get their Exercise or space needed to play.

“Shanelle did a great job. The house looked perfect when we got home and the animals were well taken care of. We received picture updates as well. Highly recommend :)”

About: My name is Cheryl, Iam a licensed vet tech with certifications in pet CPR and medication administration...i am also a human nurse. I grew up on 25 acres of land where my father and step mom(who was a veterinarian) ran a hunting dog boarding facility and rescue. I specialize in senior pet, medically needy pets and pets with physical disabilities. I also do long term boarding, and post op pet visits.

Our home is set up for boarding and for pets. We have a fenced in property that we can take them to, and if youre boarding with us, it is a home setting, and they have full access to the yard and house. It will be like a home away from home. I also have no criminal background since birth, so I am able to get onto all military bases with no trouble. My step father of 30 years is ex navy so I am very aware of the military lifestyle and can take care of military pet on and off base. I am currently working on my bachelors degree in animal sciences on line so I am home all day. This is my full time job so I can dedicate my time to your pet. We have 20 acres of fenced in yard for your pet to play in. We have crates available and many toys / activities for your pet as well.

About: I have cared for domestic pets of all kinds - cats, dogs (all sizes), birds, turtles, lizards, etc - as a sitter and for fun. My aunt (whom my mother lives with) is a dog trainer as well as a breeder (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) 25+ yrs. I grew up volunteering my time doing puppy evaluations, crate-training, potty-training, etc. I frequently babysit my friends pets while they are away, and have cats of my own at the house! I recently resigned my job as a firefighter, and have extra time in my schedule to have a side gig I care about. Walks, hikes, runs and swims if the dog is active! I understand each pet as it’s own needs and individual personalities. I care for other pets as they were my own, and I hope to make a great fit as a sitter for you! I am available 24/7 for pet care (overnight or drop-ins) as I recently resigned from my job to move to FL with my partner. I am currently looking for a full-time job. So call me! I live in an apartment complex with a large, fenced in dog park. It’s location is safe, next to a middle school. We have plenty of empty space to watch pets over night in separate rooms, or let them roam free depending on their personal needs. Additionally, the complex is located next to an outdoor recreation area with walking trails and sidewalks.

About: I have taken care of horses, cows, cats, dogs, birds, turtles and fish. I love all animals and know how stressful it can be to leave them when you have to leave them. I'm retired and have the time to love other pets other than my own. I wanted to volunteer at the human society, but my husband said no! He knows I would take home too many and I know he's right! I'm pretty good following instructions, plus I have some common sense. I can pretty much sense when a fur baby is happy or sad or sick.

“Terry was great! We were visiting Florida from out of town and needed a sitter for 8+ hours with fairly short notice. Our sweet pup isn't always a fan of strangers - especially when we're leaving him with them. Terry was able to win him over - and even sent me a video of her giving him a belly rub! Not only was she willing to stay with him the entire time, but she brought him two toys - one being a stuffed alligator which has become his favorite since we've returned home! Terry clearly loves animals and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to spoil their pet while they're away - she's Dudley approved!”

“Lynne is exceptionally kind and thorough with her care. She was patient in getting to know Viva and provided lots of pictures and updates. She stayed at my home and left it in the exact order it was when she arrived. I highly recommend her and will be utilizing her services again.”

Carol A.

“We had an amazing experience with our Jadyn! She stayed in our home with our dogs and cats and cared for them with so much love and attention. She took the dogs on walks, kept everyone happy and comfortable, and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Jadyn sent us pictures and updates throughout her stay which gave us peace of mind. When we came back home, our pet babies were healthy, relaxed, and so happy. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: I possess an extensive background in conscientious care for cats and dogs, having supported friends and family over many years. My experience ranges from tending to animals in their youth to meeting the specialized requirements of seniors. My profound affection for animals has its roots in my upbringing. Coming from a family that regards animals as beloved members I was fortunate to share my life with a loving pack of 3 cats and 2 dogs. Presently, my family includes two feline companions, Luna and Moo, alongside a Standard Poodle named Xero. I uphold a flexible schedule, ensuring immediate availability and accommodating same-day scheduling requests with established clients. I am accessible for services from 8:30 am to 5:30pm Monday through Friday. Dedicated to exceptional care, I focus on creating a stress-free environment, adapting to diverse temperaments and individual needs. Recognizing each animal's unique needs and personality, I tailor my services accordingly. I propose a virtual meet-and-greet to ensure that I am the right fit. While in my care I'll provide regular updates on the welfare of your companion. Despite having a fenced-in backyard, I ensure Xero receives regular walks approximately every three to four hours to promote physical activity. I meticulously manage food intake through scheduled feedings, providing measured amounts to ensure proper nutrition and portion control. Within my household, I maintain multiple hydration stations that undergo frequent cleaning and refreshing throughout the day.

“Where to begin with how wonderful Leanne was taking care of our puppy and our home?! We are new to town and needed to find someone for an extended trip we had planned. Leanne came twice, once to meet our dog and again to see our new house to acclimate to our dog's routine in his new home. She updated me on how our puppy was doing along with sending pictures. She left the house spotless. Our internet went down and the HOA decided to activate our gate system while we were out of town, but Leanne managed through it all seamlessly. I can't recommend her enough! She is a gem and we are looking forward to the next time we get to have her to our home. Wendy A.”
