Pet Sitting in Galesville

About: Hello! I’m Laura, and I’m so excited to welcome your four-legged family member into my heart and home. Having grown up with dogs and raised three of my own beloved pups through to their golden years, I know firsthand that dogs aren't just pets—they are cherished family members. Now that my home is a bit quieter, I have a wealth of love, patience, and attention to share with your dog while you are away. Why Choose Me? Lifetime of Experience: I have over 40 years of experience living with and caring for dogs. Senior Dog Care: Having loved three dogs through their entire lives, I am highly comfortable with senior care, gentle pacing, and keeping strict medication and feeding schedules. A Safe, Loving Environment: Your dog will get my full attention, plenty of belly rubs, and a calm, reliable routine that mirrors the comfort they have at home. Whether your pup is an energetic walker or a professional couch cuddler, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend and give you peace of mind knowing they are in safe, loving hands! My daily and weekly schedule is very consistent, which makes it easy to provide a reliable, stress-free routine for your dog. During the week, my schedule allows me to easily plan my day around a dog's needs. I am always home for dedicated morning, late afternoon, and evening care. Because my routine is highly structured, I can guarantee regular potty breaks, timely feedings, and medication administration on a strict schedule. My late afternoons, evenings, and weekends are wide open and entirely dedicated to pet care. Whether that means going for relaxed neighborhood walks, playing in the yard, or just offering quiet companionship on the couch, your dog will be a central part of my day. I treat guest dogs like family, fitting them seamlessly into a warm, attentive, and loving daily routine. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether a dog is staying with me or I am visiting them in their own home. Having raised three dogs of my own, I know how important a secure and predictable environment is for a pet's peace of mind. In My Home: I maintain a calm, dog-friendly, and completely smoke-free environment. Before any stay, I do a thorough safety sweep to ensure all hazards, cords, or human foods are securely out of reach. Dogs in my care are supervised closely, and I follow a strict double-check policy on all doors and gates when entering or exiting. In Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it secure, clean, and exactly as you left it. During visits or house sits, I stick closely to your security routines (locking doors, arming alarms) and ensure your dog is safely secured inside before I leave. My Care Philosophy: Tailored to the Dog: I strictly adhere to your specific rules regarding furniture, feeding schedules, and crate training to keep their routine seamless. On-Leash Safety: I always keep dogs securely on-leash during walks and remain highly alert to our surroundings and other animals. Constant Communication: I love sending daily photo updates so you can see firsthand how happy, relaxed, and safe your pup is!

“Cassie was amazing and the boys seemed like they had a great weekend. Great communication and went above and beyond for us and the dogs!”

About: Grew up on a farm with lots of cats and dogs. I have a 15-year-old border collie mix that can no longer go for long walks. Hoping for the opportunity to take some other pups on walks too! I work as a nurse, so I am more than willing to administer medications and injections. Being that I have an elderly dog myself, I am no stranger to senior care or special needs. I currently work as a nurse full-time, but I am available after 5 pm to help with taking your dog out or checking in on your kitty. I am available most weekends as well. I cannot offer pet boarding, but I am willing to check in on your furry family members! I am always willing to lend a hand when life gets busy. Although my background is in human care, I can administer CPR, medications, and injections. Just let me know!

About: I have taken care of dogs as small as 10 pounds up to as big as 120 pounds. I love taking them on walks but also playing with them. I am currently a college student back in town for the summer, looking for some work that I can really enjoy. I love going on walks and being outdoors as well as spending time with animals! I will insure to follow directions given to me on how to care for the animals but also take my own precautions to insure safety

“Lauren was very helpful, caring, punctual and was a great communicator for her drop in visits for my cat! She literally went the extra mile and walked up my snowy icy driveway when her car couldn’t make it up! My cat is a bit standoffish with new people, but he warmed up to her after just one visit! I will definitely be requesting Lauren to help out with my cat in the future!”

Danielle S.

“Laura did awesome! She was so quick to communicate, sent me photos every day, and let me know exactly how Sawyer was doing when she visited. I felt very comfortable having her check in on him and will definitely re-book with her in the future.”

About: I've taken care of a variety of dogs since I was very young. I grew up with labs and I am very comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I took care of my yellow lab/retriever mix, Blue, for so many years; taking her on long walks, giving her baths, making sure she got along with our neighbor dogs. I also helped out taking care of my neighbor dogs from time to time. After my dog died at the age of 15, my family didn't think we would get another dog. 7 years ago, we got a new puppy, his name is Brooks, and he is a yellow lab. He is very different than our old dog. He has lots of energy, he has ran away a couple times but always came back or we found him, and we lived on 2 acres of land so that helped. He is our first inside dog, so he loves cuddles, treats, sleeping, playing catch and sneaking downstairs where he is not supposed to be. I have lots of experience with dogs and I appreciate and love them very much! I am currently working at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse, so I have the summer off. During the school year, I have Fridays off and I am done by 3pm the other days. On Mondays and Wednesdays I have slower mornings. I can help out throughout the day and on weekends. I live in an apartment building but there is an area with lots of grass and next to the building and around the area. My building doesn’t allow pets so I am not able to house pets at my place, but I can always talk to my landlord.

“I am so grateful she was able to take my appointment last minute! Chief seemed incredibly happy and well taken care of when I got home. Highly recommend!”

“Linsie is great! On time, and communicates! Even took my pup to the dog park (she checked first) and was aware of the environment to keep Dewy safe. Appreciate her communication! Highly recommend.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dog, which has taught me the importance of routine, patience, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I have also worked for numerous families house/dog sitting which has made me comfortable with feedings/medication schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their comfort and well-being! I also love sending updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away!🩷 I work full-time as a Labor & Delivery nurse, typically three days per week and every third weekend. This schedule allows me to have several full days off—including an entire week off every third week—so I have plenty of time to give your fur baby lots of attention, care, and consistency! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and play. I also have a friendly puppy who loves company, but I always prioritize slow, safe introductions to make sure everyone feels comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—from feeding schedules to walks and any special instructions. I’m attentive, reliable, and always keep a close eye on behavior to ensure your pet stays safe, happy, and stress-free. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind!

I am also going to school in Rochester to become a veterinary technician! Having a dog and two cats to care for of my own and currently working at a vet as a vet assistant. My days always consist of caring for animals and I wouldn’t change it for anything. At home I have another dog who gets along well with other dogs and people. I also have 2 cats but they are outdoor only and are used to dogs. I have a big house with an even bigger yard. I can take your dog on walks or hikes and they will get plenty of exercise. Inside the dog will have its own space and I can crate your dog if needed. I am willing to work with any accommodations you need for your furry friend.

“Addie was wonderful. Very prompt and responsive in our communications. And I loved that she sent us a picture of Bandit letting us know that things went well. I would highly recommend her.”

My family has always been full of pet lovers and our home has always welcomed animals of all shapes and sizes. Growing up,I learned how to care for pets kindly, patiently, and responsibly. I currently have a cat of my own, and she truly is my pride and joy. I also regularly care for the pets of friends, coworkers, and family members when they’re out of town or need extra help. I’m a huge animal lover and have a very soft spot for pets. I truly care deeply about their well-being. I’m especially attentive to making sure animals feel safe, comfortable and loved. I would love to provide that same level of care and peace of mind for you and your pets! I work full-time, but have the option to work from home whenever needed, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m especially available after 4 PM, but I’m happy to make other times work as well. I can bring my work computer with me if needed and take breaks as I please, so I’m able to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Your pet safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow care instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised, secure, and stress-free. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any special needs they may have. My home is calm, clean, and pet friendly. I make sure doors and windows are secured, remove any potential hazards, and provide plenty of space for pets to relax and feel at home. I’m very attentive during walks and outings and always use leashes, unless otherwise instructed. I treat every pet as if they were my own and worked hard to build trust so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident in my care.

About: Every since I was young I would walk dogs for friends and family. Once I finally turned 18 I was able to work for a doggie daycare! Talk about dream come true! Hey pet parents, I promise to always do my best when having your fur child/children under my care ❤️ (I also would like to mention that the rates are high because this app only gives a very small percent of what you pay) I don’t mind long walks, and trips to the park! Snuggles and movies work too 🩵 I can provide any needed service for your fur baby/ babies! (I also would like to mention that the rates are high because this app only gives a very small percent of what you pay)

“Did a great job stopping in to let my dog out and feed him. She arrived in a timely fashion, and sent a picture of my pets getting fed. She agreed to meet briefly beforehand so that my dog could meet her, which I really appreciated.”
