“Emma watched our dog for a long weekend and was incredible! She sent lots of photos and daily updates and our dog was well taken care of and happy! She stayed at our home and I think it was cleaner than when we left it lol would definitely book again!”


“Annette is a wonderful sitter and I highly recommend her. She is trustworthy, communicative, and kind and shows a great love and passion for taking care of animals!”


About: I am experienced in pet care! I have been around animals my entire life, and have cared for many. I love making sure they are not only properly taken care of, but also being given the chance to live their best lives! I am currently a student at UWSP, so my weekdays tend to be fairly busy, but I have plenty of breaks in between for check ins and walks. I am also able to care for pets while multitasking during long nights studying. My personal pets are always a priority to me. I make sure they are fed proper amounts, have a clean space to live and use the bathroom, and most importantly I make prioritize giving them love and affection. While more active animals, I tend to give them plenty of opportunities for exercise, utilizing the large space by my apartment complex. I am always finding creative ways to enrich my animals!

“Emily went above and beyond with our puppies. She sent pictures every day, spent LOTS of outdoor time with them and did everything she could to make sure they were not only taken care of, but happy. When she left she cleaned up to the point that we hardly knew she was here. Highly recommend, will definitely be hiring her again!”

I love working with dogs and doing princess parties on the weekend and I'm currently looking to fill some of my free time by helping out other families care for their Fur babies! I'm currently working part-time and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule leaving plenty of time for me to care for your pups! I'm available most week days and weekends.

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of all kinds of animals! I took care of cows, horses, pigs, goats, chickens, quails, frogs, dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, hamsters and rats! I have always been a major animal lover and continue to be! I love spending time with my pets and for my friends and families pets too! I currently am a full time server. My shifts are usually about 6 hours long, which gives me lots of time to take care of the animals. I usually run my dog in the morning and evening, and spend time with her at the park and other places I go to. Sometimes Cardi, Boat and I just like to hang out in the yard and have a cup of coffee! I have a mostly fenced in yard in the back of my house, that my dog spends the most time playing in! I often take walks and go to the park and many other places. When I pet sit for my friends and family I work with what they have in their home. At my home I also have a long lead so they can safely play in the yard!

I will treat your dog as if it’s mine and love him/her to death(: You’ll never have to worry about your dog not getting the care it needs when I’m around! Overall, I’m a huge dog lover and would love to take care of your furbaby! I am currently off of work so I will have almost every day to walk/drop by your fur baby during the day! And when I get back to work I will still love to walk and do drop ins! My own dog has her own fenced in yard.
