About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the lifelong experience and genuine love I have for animals. I grew up in a home full of dogs and have always been surrounded by pets, learning early on how to care for them with patience and attention. Today, I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I treat every pet like my own, with kindness, consistency, and a lot of love. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra playtime, I ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very open and flexible schedule, which means I’m available throughout the day to give your pets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or an afternoon check-in, I’m able to provide consistent, dependable care. My background in teaching also means I’m organized, responsible, and great at following routines—qualities that translate well into attentive, loving pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, give walks or playtime, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and any instructions you leave, whether it’s about medications, crate time, or favorite toys. If I were to offer care in my home, pets would have a calm, pet-friendly space and lots of companionship throughout the day. No matter the setting, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you're away.

About: I grew up with a Westie since I was 7 years old. I am a foster caretaker and trained to foster dogs by GRRoW (the golden retriever rescue organization of Wisconsin). Pet caretaking fits into my routine best every weekday for an after-work dog walks (5pm CST or later). I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so I have more free time then to watch a pet during the day. I have an apartment with a large open, yard good for playtime. My neighborhood and apartment complex is extremely dog friendly. There are plenty of non-busy street sidewalks and parks within walking distance for the dog to enjoy and run around in.

“Jenny is wonderful! My puppy warmed up to her right away. She asked a lot of questions about him and came prepared with treats, poop bags, and water. She took him on a walk nearby and when they returned home he was all tired out. Thank you!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. They ranged from puppies all the way to them becoming senior dogs, and they all came from very different backgrounds. I am especially good with senior dogs. My childhood dog eventually had severe arthritis and needed medication and some extra help. I would do anything for her that helped her feel more comfortable! I also puppysit for some family members so I am also used to the craziness a puppy can bring! I am currently available most days at any time until August 11. My cat does need medication at 8pm, but any other time of the day works for me! I can care for your pets however you need in your home! Whether it's going on a walk, playing outside, or staying inside, whatever is best for them is doable!

“I requested Carli the night before to walk a dog that she had not met. She accepted and was phenomenal. She was right on time, followed instructions and saved the day for me!! Thank you Carli!”
