“McKenna was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Moo! She was so sweet and attentive, and we could tell Moo really enjoyed her visits. We loved the photo updates—such a great touch that made us feel connected while we were away. McKenna even went above and beyond by watering the flowers my son got me, which was so thoughtful and appreciated. We’d happily book with her again—thank you, McKenna!”
“We have been impressed with Amber and how kind she is with our dogs. We have an elderly dog, a middle aged and a younger dog. She is patient with all three. She bonded with them on her first visit. We discussed our expectations with her and showed her the dog's routine. We think Amber is a great fit for caring for our dogs when we are away.”
“Courtney did a great job of keeping our fur babies company and set our minds at ease during our trip to Italy. We looked forward to the pictures and notes every day. We look forward to using her services again when we are away camping this summer. We highly recommend Courtney!!!!!”
“April came over in kind of a last minute scenario, but she still made it work and we came home to a very happy puppy dog later that day! April got Roxy all of her medications, fed her and loved her as I would of if I was home. I work for the railroad and have a wild schedule, and April was there to save the day! I highly recommend April; your pooch will love her!”
About: Ever since I was a kid, my love for animals has been unstoppable! Over the years, my passion has only grown stronger, and I've been fortunate to care for both cats and dogs for a long time. Right now, I share my home with three amazing cats and three playful dogs, each with their own personality and quirks. On top of that, I love helping out my friends and neighbors by taking care of their furry companions when they’re away. Whether it's feeding, walking, or just giving them some love, I truly enjoy every moment spent with animals. Living in Columbus, working in Verona, WI, and everywhere in between, I’m always ready to provide the best care for any pet that comes my!

I have a fenced-in yard and share my home with three dogs and three cats. If needed, I am available to stay at your home to provide dedicated care for your pets. My top priority is ensuring your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for, and I approach every interaction with patience, kindness and love.

About: Hi I'm Matt. I'm a big animal lover, and have been in the animal field for 15yrs working with all different types of wildlife. Have experience in giving vaccines(IM or SQ), oral meds, and basic care. I have since moved onto a new adventure in lawncare. I have been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with a German Shepherd, a purebred Samoyed, and a tabby cat. Currently, I have 2 beagle-shepherd mixes, Hunter and Holmes, who are 2 of the sweetest boys you will meet. We are often outdoors taking our daily walk, hiking local state parks, camping, or just working in the yard. I have always loved being around animals, especially dogs, and find that having them brings such happiness to life. The boys and I are together daily. I currently work typically Mondays thru Fridays sometimes varied or longer hours. However, we always make time to go for a walk daily, and on the weekends typically are out exploring. Hunter gets meds twice a day in a pill supplement as well as I trim their nails and baths occasionally. I currently rent a duplex that has a fenced backyard, and also have a spare bedroom and wire kennel if needed. Typically my dogs free roam during the day, and are good to be alone overnight or up to 10hrs which can allow me to spend time with your furry friend.
