Dog Sitting Franksville

About: I have had dogs my whole life, have helped train family pets, and am certified as a Comfort Dog handler. I have watched dogs from the wee size of a Chihuahua to big fluffy Newfoundlands. I love using patience and kindness to ensure your pups safety and well-being. I agrew up with the high energy of Border Collies, both young and older. I have dogsat at someone's house up to 5 dogs at a time, with varying food needs and medications. I try my best to be flexible and up for anything you need to ensure your furry friend is taken care of the same way I would care for my own. From walks, to watching them in my home, I am here to help you remain confident in your dog's care. For boarding, I do have two dogs that live in residence and would be available for a meet and greet prior to booking. I work a hybrid schedule, so some days I am fully working from home and other days I am in the office and usually pop home in the early afternoon to let my dogs out and finish the day working from home. Dogs get fed before I start work and dinner when I finish. If I work from home I usually take a break outside at some point to play with the pups and after work we can do walks or dog park or hanging out in the yard. I have a fenced yard and two other pups in the home who are relatively chill. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and get lots of snuggles. My own dogs are crate-trained but rarely use them. They are often left on the living room couch when I leave, with a baby gate keeping them in. Can use crates if needed, I own a size small and a size large. My dogs are 25 and 12 pounds. The smaller of the two is a rescue and is extremely chill and friendly to all other dogs. The bigger dog can be sensitive with other dogs sniffing his butt but the most he does is bark at them to move away. He usually minds his own space and doesn't play with other dogs much but also doesn't bother them.

“Monica is an exceptional pet sitter! Provides prompt responses, real time pet updates with pictures and my big guy Ripley is happy and safe when she provides pet care services. I am able to have piece of mind that my dog is well cared for when Im not in town, and also able to have communication with her. I just finished my second booking with Monica and will continue to book with her. Highly recommended!”

“Melana took extra special care of my fur babies today. It was getting ready to storm and my Seamus hates the thunder. You can tell she loves animals.”

About: Ive been around animals for a decent part of my life. I’ve grown fond of having animals around, with 3 of my own kitties. I’m very diligent and patient with all animals. I can handle pups that pull. I’m versatile and work with all breeds. I strive to satisfy not only you , but also your pups. I would love to be a part of your fur babies journey!! :) I am fully available and very flexible with scheduling. I’d love to grow in experience and gain the skills I need to best take care of your pets(Home Experience Not Professional) I’m always available to take a stroll, play, and hang out with your fur babies. I will do my best to keep them happy and let them sight see. Thank you for the opportunity. I will always respect your space and follow the directions you give me. I appreciate good communication so that I can give the best service.

About: I have one dog and one cat that tend to stay upstairs. I absolutely love animals, So I hope to have my own little hobby farm one day. If your pet is in my home, please know they’ll always feel loved, safe and most likely tired out from all out walks. I believe humans and animals benefit from exercise which helps with behavior, same for humans. So bring your pup to me, and they’ll be tired for you:) Also, I have a special place in my heart for special-needs animals that need a little extra love and patience. I have been doing dog-watching for the past four years, in addition to working part-time for 10 years. I work at a school right down the road, which is perfect for dog watching. I leave at 7am, and I’m back by 11am each day. I do boarding, play dates, pickups, drop-ins, and trips to the dog park. I have a fenced-in yard, so your dog may play, run, or simply get some fresh air. I spend my time walking dogs, feeding them, playing, cuddling, kisses, relaxing on the porch and constantly opening and closing the door so they can go outside. Ha! It’s my life, and I truly love it.

“Cindi took great care of my two cats although they stayed well hidden! Very responsible and great communication. It was a one time drop in visit. I already have her booked for future dates.”

“Very last minute, I realized I needed someone to drop in on my pup and take her out/ put her in her crate for bed time. Anna responded promptly, communicated clearly, and did everything I asked of her. Very thankful she stopped in and helped me out.”

About: I’ve taken care of French bulldogs since I was 16 years old. I tend bond quickly with animals and have patience with animals that are aggressive or overly anxious. I’ve good with cats and dogs, as well as exotic pets like ferret's. I am currently working a full time job, and am also a college student dispite this I am quite good about time management. I care for my own cat and frequently help out with my sisters dogs that need to be walked and watched. When previously working for her I take the dogs for average of 3 walks one in the morning, then afternoon, then night. When it comes to pet care I will be able to do basically anything needed. If an animals needs to be put in the crate I am easily able to do so. If a pet were to get dirty I am good with cleaning if needed. I am a very determined individual who can cut stubborn animals nails if needed, but I also am good with animals who have issues. As I have experience with owning an aggressive dog myself.

About: I have experience in cat sitting with clients, some of them had anxious cats that were more on the spicy side. I gained their trust and surprised their owners when they found out how close and cuddly they got with me, that's my quality. I don't expect every cat to open all of their boundaries and I respect doing what they want. 😸 I am known to socialize with the cats outside of just feeding them and cleaning their litterbox. I have had 3 cats of my own, 2 which have been elderly cats who needed medicine and careful care. 💊 I am very good at administering meds and staying consistent. I have had two dogs which both crossed the rainbow bridge from elderly age (a malamute and a newfoundland). I am an equal cat and dog lover! I would love to have a dog again one day. I walk with a cane so I am comfortable walking small dogs. 🐶 I have a very flexible schedule since I work from home. I can stop by any time in the mornings, afternoons, and also early evenings. When going to a client's home, I am very careful when entering and exiting the home when the door opens. I also do a head count of any cats including my own before leaving a house. I know from my own pet that they like to get curious and can suddenly go into a bathroom or closet and can get closed in. Just like my teaching days - taking head counts is important! I also watch the pets as they eat especially if there are multiple in a house so that they don't overeat by sneaking snacks from their pet buddies food.

“Very nice, took good pictures.”

“Juliana was quick to respond to a next day booking request. So grateful she was able to drop in on my pup and give him some company when I had to be away from home for longer stretches.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for years, but done it more seriously the past three years. I do overnight stays with my friends/families dogs, and a lot of dog walking! I’ve done everything from administering medications to cleaning up accidents. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible! I don’t have time constraints (for the most part), so I can take my time caring for your pets. I would like to say I’m very good at being aware of my surroundings. I’ve taken care of dogs that aren’t dog-friendly, so I know how to handle those situations when on walks, etc. I also realize that growing trust with animals is extremely important.

About: Hello! My name is Elena, and I specialize in caring for dogs of all backgrounds—including rescues, seniors, and pets with unique needs. As the owner of three rescue dogs myself, I understand that every pup has their own personality, history, and comfort level. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with: Recognizing stress, fear, and anxiety cues Supporting dogs with behavioral quirks or anxieties Providing consistent routines, medication if needed, and patient care When I care for your pet, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect timely communication, photo updates, and a sitter who truly respects the bond you share with your furry family member. Your pets will be cared for as if they were my own—because I know how much trust it takes to leave them with someone new. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to provide consistent and reliable care for your furry friend. As a nursing student, I have honed my skills in time management, responsibility, and compassionate care, which seamlessly translate into my pet care services. Ensuring the safety, trust, and well-being of pets is paramount. In my home, I maintain a pet-proofed environment with secure locks and designated safe zones, ensuring cleanliness and comfort with regular cleaning and a consistent schedule of feeding, walks, and enrichment activities. Health monitoring is a priority, with regular checks for signs of illness and immediate veterinary attention if needed.

About: Hi, I’m Stella! A reliable, active, and genuinely attentive pet sitter who wants your dog or cat to feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. I’m the type of person who will happily spend extra time playing, going on a walk, giving belly rubs, or just hanging out with your pet if that’s what they need. I know every animal has their own personality and routine, so I’m big on following their normal schedule rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m especially comfortable with active dogs who enjoy getting outside, but I’m equally happy spending a quiet afternoon with a cat who would rather observe everything from the couch. I’ll keep you updated with photos and little check-ins so you know your pet is doing well while you’re gone. My goal is simple: you get to enjoy your time away without worrying about your pet, and they get to have a fun, comfortable time too. If your pet is looking for someone dependable, attentive, and actually excited to spend time with them, I’d love to meet them! 🐾 I am self employed with my own personal training business, so I have a relatively flexible schedule! I am able to pop in every few hours if needed, and am more than happy to get some walks in for both your dog and myself. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment where they can feel right at home. I keep routines consistent—mealtimes, walks, play—and give lots of love and attention. I closely monitor their behavior and health. You’ll also get regular photo and video updates, so you always know they’re safe and happy. Lastly, I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations.

About: I've been around animals my whole life! Family and friends have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets, both cats and dogs. I also worked for Wag, which I thoroughly enjoyed and learned so much about caring for pets. My schedule is extremely flexible and I only work part time, so I can care for your pets at almost any time of day, especially mornings and afternoons. In a client's home, the pets are in a familiar environment with an unfamiliar person. So, the first thing I do is give the pets a chance to get used to me! Let them sniff me, let them approach me at their own pace.

“Shannon took wonderful care of our cat while we were out of town and was sending us daily updates and pictures of our cat. We definitely recommend Shannon for pet sitting:)”

About: I've been watching and caring for pets for over 8 years. My friends, coworkers and bosses have relied on me to walk their dogs, pet sit and care for their pets for several years. I'm more than happy to take your pets out for as many walks as needed at various hours of the day and I'm also ready to accommodate all of their needs, including feeding, playing with them, ensuring that they're happy and comfortable and spoiling them with toys and treats. Their safety always comes first. I usually go for a walk or run once or twice a day so I'm happy to take them out with me whenever possible. I have a fairly flexible schedule where I can pop in from time to time or work from home when needed. I have an entire bedroom that's unused that I'm happy to use as a pet room. I have plenty of space in my apartment for the pets and I have an entire field/track behind my apartment. I don't let the pets out of my sight, I ensure that they're always in a safe environment and I will always follow the owner's instructions. If any issues ever arise I will always contact the owner and consult before I make any decisions. I can always provide the right nutrition and keep them on schedule if needed.

About: I’ve done overnight dog sitting for the past 3 years. Also I grew up in a household full of dogs and loved taking them on walks. I am currently working first shift starting at 8:30am to 4:30pm and able to walk dogs anytime after that. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me. I currently have a 4 year old german shepherd that I just recently adopted. I take him on daily walks on a leash along with treats.

About: Stephanie developed her passion for dog training after adopting her third dog, Lance from a local shelter. He ended up having many behavior issues, leading Stephanie down this path. She read as many books and attended as many seminars as she could about dog training and behavior in order to help him. He made such wonderful progress and went from a scared, highly reactive dog to a confident NW2 dog before ultimately losing him unexpectedly in 2017 to lymphoma. He was one of those life changing dogs. Stephanie started nose work in 2010 and was hooked from day one. She is a CNWI who recently retired her original nose work dog Logan and is now competing with her third nose work dog Leena and working on her fourth dog Livvy. Along with nose work, she is our reactivity specialist. She is always eager to learn and gain more knowledge about dogs. She is currently being trained by her adorable pups – Leena, Leevi, Livvy & Lynzi. Stephanie is a Certified Behavior Consultant Canine (CBCC-KA), Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), Certified Nose Work Instructor (CNWI).
