Alisha is courteous, timely, and responsible. I wouldn't trust anyone else to care for my pets. She not only has the knowledge necessary to care for animals, but she truly cares about her clients.

We have used Joshua 3 or 4 times he loves our dogs and makes them happy, and of course that makes us happy: they love him and because we keep booking him, their anxiety when we leave has gone way down. Joshua makes our lives easier because he takes such good care of our 4 legged boys.

This was the second time Ivy watched our dog Stanley for us while we were out of town. She once again did an awesome job. She gave him his meds, walked him when weather permitted and gave him lots of cuddles. She sent daily pictures so that we knew all was well. She also kept a close eye on our house and alerted us to a bird mite infestation by our front door that may have gone unnoticed for quite a while as we don’t regularly use that door. If you choose Ivy to care for your fur babies, you can relax knowing she will give them quality care and attention.

About: I recently and unexpectedly lost my dog of 8 years. I'm not ready for a new dog just yet but miss the companionship and would love to be able to help care for someone else's best friend while they're away. Unfortunately I cannot have pets where I live so I will only be able to care for a your dog in your home. I am available day or night, 7 days a week to provide your best friend with the care they need while you are away. I am not currently employed so I have an open schedule and I'm looking to fill some of the time. Hopefully I will be able to so some of that time taking care of your best friend I will care for your pet as best as I can following your specifications and if I have any questions or concerns I will not hesitate to either call or text immediately.

Heather is great with animals dogs and cats alike. She makes sure they have the proper food even makes fresh homemade food and treats. Makes sure her dogs have exercise and play time outside Takes them to play parks in her area And they play with other animals. Health wise they are taken to the vet for regular check ups. She is great with other people's animals. Dog sits when needed. My pets all love her, I have three dogs and two cats. You would not go wrong using her as a helper.

Samantha watched my dogs for many years before moving to Baraboo. She loved taking them for walks and getting to know their personalities! I would definitely recommend her to watch other pups at her house which has a huge yard and two lovable fur friends to play with!

Hannah watched our two pups Bucky & Bosco while we were visiting the Galena Territory. From the moment she walked in, I knew my pups were in good hands. Both dogs took to her immediately Hannah was professional, flexible and very sweet. I would not hesitate to book her again and wish she was closer so we could use her to watch them much more often. Thank you Hannah!!!

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 10. I grew up with multiple cats to care for and have been a dog owner for 11 years. I have experience with puppies/kittens, as well as seniors who may have medical needs. I am also capable of handling high energy pets and households with multiples. I do work full-time (M-F) but have a flexible schedule. I have time in the mornings, and after 5 during the weekdays to care for your pets, and times during the day. Most weekends are very open. I know all pet parents have different rules/expectations, so I am open and happy to follow your lead on how you would need things done. I have a senior dog who is used to no crate, taking full advantage of the couches and beds :) and enjoys moderate length walks. I have had him since he was a puppy, so I am able to provide long walks, exercise time outside and crating if need be.

Tami has been our go to dog sitter! We love Tami, and even more importantly our two dogs do too. They are soo happy to see Tami, we are never sad to leave them. 100% reliable, always. Tami gives them lots of snuggles and TLC. Brushes our curly coated shedding pup every day. I recommend Tami without any hesitation. Oh, and she loves cats too:)
