Pet Sitting Havenwoods

About: My dog care history began when I was in middle school and became caretaker for my family dog, Charlie (a Shiba inu mix). I have walked and cared for dogs of many different sizes and all ages both in my personal life and professionally. I have over 3 years if experience at doggy daycares. In my personal life I have cared for my dilute tortie Smokie for 7 of her 8 years. I have also cared for reptiles and amphibians at the Urban Ecology Center and am trained to handle snapping turtles. I love animals of all kinds. I work part time and currently have a very open availability. I am willing to work weekends and holidays. Please ask me if I'm available! I believe in the importance of safety, health, and enrichment. Your animals needs - both physical and emotional - are a priority to me. I put in the time and effort your animal deserves.

“Angela took great care of Ginger and Tricksey during her daily visits. She followed their routine, kept everything tidy, and made sure they had everything they needed. She also noticed and handled a few thoughtful extras, which I greatly appreciated. I felt confident knowing my cats and home were in such attentive hands.”

“Yolanda was amazing with our three high energy dogs! When we first met her and her husband, we could tell right away they were great people and our dogs took right to them. Even our dog that is sometimes shy around new people seemed completely at ease with them. She was available on short notice and took lots of great photos of the first visit. Our dogs looked very happy and relaxed. We would definitely recommend Yolanda!”

“As always, we had a wonderful experience leaving our fur babies with Aidan! Very communicative, attentive to our pets needs, and goes above and beyond to make us feel comfortable while we are away.”

“Jan was fantastic! She was a pleasure to work with and so sweet with Poppy. We felt so comfortable having her spend time with Poppy. Jan sent great updates and pictures from her visit. Will definitely be asking her to help with Poppy in the future”

About: I have been passionate about animals, big and small, my entire life! I have volunteered at humane societies, fostered animals in need, cared for the pets of family members and friends, interned at AZA-accredited zoos, and worked at wildlife sanctuaries. Currently I am a full-time licensed wildlife rehabilitator caring for injured and orphaned Wisconsin wildlife with the goal of releasing them back into the wild, but I have previously worked with a variety of domestic animals both in my personal and in my professional life. I am well versed in animal behavior, body language, and positive reinforcement. I promise to treat (and spoil) your pets like they are my own! At the moment I have 3 sweet cats, a high-energy dog, a mischievous chinchilla, and a gentleman of a ball python! Please do not hesitate to reach out and get to know me more! I currently work 4 days of the week at my full time job so I am only available select days. I am eager to spend time with your pets, however, so if my schedule shows I am unavailable, please reach out anyway as I try to be as flexible as possible! It is extremely important to me to use Fear Free tactics when interacting with any animal. Gaining the trust of you and your pet are my top priority!

“Great communication, very easy to work with!”

About: After several busy months on Rover with almost nonstop bookings, I have had such great stays with dozens of dogs, no accidents in the houses, no bites, no runaways, zero negative experiences. I feel confident that with me, you’re getting a premium stay for your pets for a really good value! I’m incredibly hands on and present with the pets, with them 24/7 and very adaptable with the different needs and personalities. I’m attentive with different care instructions and really shower the animals with positive attention 😊 I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. This is not a business for me, it’s something I have enjoyed doing for my family and friends, and if you want your beloved pet to be in a calm but fun, comfortable environment while you’re away, I can extend my service to you. I recently started doing home stays/drop ins for the pet sitting too and enjoyed it. I currently have a really flexible schedule with a lot of availability. I live with my dad that occasionally says hi if the dog or cat is friendly but mostly the house is big enough that they never cross paths. I have a fenced in yard and a big house with a lot of space that I can also section off by closing doors. I typically take the animals out several times a day, feed them, and let them roam around the house or snuggle with me. I like when pet owners bring a bed for their pets so I can make them their own space but they’re welcome to chill with me in whatever I’m doing. I’m youthful, active, and responsible. I have a naturally friendly, calm demeanor that animals and people respond well to. I have no pets right now but used to have a pit/black lab mix that I loved dearly so I love pits and other breeds with historically bad reputations. I frequently sit my aunt’s beagle mix who’s just a little old pup that sparked my interest for pet sitting because it was so fun to have visits from him. He and my old dog are in a bunch of my pics. With all animals I just try to make them comfortable and let them feel at home.

“Teanna was great! We needed a last minute sitter and she was very flexible with a meet and greet and coming to feed and water our cats. She was also very understanding when I had reception issues when trying to reply to messages. My cats were well cared for, and I would book Teanna again if I ever have the need. Thank you so much! ?”

“Stephen and Amelie are the best! They take excellent care of our babies and our home when we’re away and make us feel completely comfortable when we need to travel without the pups. Our dogs love them too!”

“So caring... Thanks Adri!”

About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs. Although we don't currently have a dog, our family loves to fill the need for a dog by dog sitting and dog walking for friends and family. Our children adore dogs and love to treat visiting dogs as if they were our own. We are both home based and available during the day. I'm a stay at home mom that is able to let your pet out regularly. We have a large family (4 kids) and my husband works remotely, so although we are busy, someone is often home. We have a large, unfenced yard for your pup to play in. Walks, play and running outside are a standard part of our outdoor environment.

About: I’m the designated dog walker for family and friends because I love going on walks, and dogs love coming with me! I grew up with a dog but only have two cats of my own— so I miss having that four-legged friend to go with me! I’d love to take your dog out for a walk/run, or just let them stretch their legs. Cat owners, I’m happy to give your kitties as much or as little space as they need while making sure they feel the love :) I don’t work Fridays or Saturdays, so I am free to help anytime then! Definitely looking to fill my Fridays up with some time outside, and I’d love to take your dog with me - or check in on your cat! I usually walk my parent’s and brother’s dogs (about 80 lbs each) so I know how to handle bigger dogs on leashes who tend to stray from the sidewalk. I can clean up after them, feed them, and give them all the pets! For my cats at home, I love to play with strings or catnip - and can cater to their personality as need be.

About: I have owned and watch dogs but also cats. I have a love for animals and I get very excited meeting new ones. It’s the best experience to me. I’m available anytime. I would be able to do last minute set ups. I’m sometimes away from home around 2-4 pm but that’s not often Everyone in the house loves animals, especially dogs. The most love is given like their our own. We get very excited and take them out for long walks. My dog has been around puppies before and he loves to be around other dogs.

About: Hi! My name is Nikita. I'm currently looking to gain more experience with dogs and other animals. I'm trying to gain experience in order to look into becoming a dog trainer. So if you decide to choose me to look after your pets I may practice with your dog! Don't worry I'll be nice, I practice with several different styles of training. While I may not have a lot of professional dog experience, I have been around all sorts of animals my entire life. Whether it's my dog that I currently own or the several dogs that I grew up around in my family. I've always had some sort of animal living around me, and I've always had a passion for caring for them.

About: I am a former dog handler that worked at a doggy day care where I cared for multiple dogs daily, managing different temperaments and energy levels. I’m experienced in supervising play, maintaining safety, and keeping dogs calm, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve also owned dogs and cats in my lifetime as well! Genuinely an animal lover. I’m available for morning and evening visits on weekdays, and I have open availability on weekends. I offer flexible scheduling for walks, drop ins, and pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine. I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, follow routines closely, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for.

About: I can make sure your dog is staying active and feeling loved while you are away and that your cat is getting enrichment and playtime. I have been watching family and friend's dogs and cats for a couple years and have never had any problems. I will uphold whatever standards you set for your dog if you do not allow it on the bed or furniture, neither will I. I can take care of your pets on weekdays and weekends. Weekdays I’m happy to go for early morning walks prior to work and an evening walk or exercise before or after work as well I will give them lots of love and attention while following the same rules and training techniques that you set for them in your own home.

About: I helped raise my own two family dogs and ensured that they were always walked, bathed, fed, and happy. It's also a habit of mine to go take the extra step like wiping my dogs and make sure they are clean after they've been outside. I've also taken care of my neighbor's dogs alongside our own family dogs, so I have experience handling multiple pets at once. I work full-time, Monday through Friday, while working from home 2-3 days a week. I also go to workout classes in the evening. Normally, if working from home, I take the dogs out for a walk in the morning. On other days, I take them for a walk in the evening. I normally take pets out 3 times a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and night. I make sure the dogs have a dedicated spot for food and bed. I have both a park and a dog park, 5-10 minutes away from my apartment, which I can take the pets to for a walk or some dog play time. There are also multiple yard-like grass areas where the dogs are meant to do their business. If pets stay with me for longer than two weeks, I bathe them every other week.

“Tegra is super sweet and I immediately felt comfortable into our home and trusting her with our little rascal Kitty cat. Assuming she accepts I'll happily use her services again!”
