House Sitting High Crossing

“Shawn was great with Rosi! She is an anxious velcro dog, and I was nervous to leave her overnight so soon after adopting her. She seemed calm and happy with Shawn, and he sent updates with photos to give us peace of mind. He also helped her with medication and an altered diet due to some tummy troubles she’d been having prior to us leaving her.”

“Elizabeth was amazing with my dog while I was traveling for work. She sent daily updates and many pictures. I would definitely use her services again.”

“Audrey was so fantastic with our cat and dog! Would definitely have her back again. She was communicative and took great care of them both. Our dog ended up having a surgery before we left which meant some additional care for him during the time we were away and Audrey handled that perfectly. Our cat decided to give her the slip on the last day and ran outside. Audrey made an extra trip back to our house later in the day and enticed her back into the house with some treats and wet food which was so appreciated. Thank you!!”

“Renee was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! So accommodating, GREAT communication and just a really great person to work with. You know your dog is getting 100% attention and love when you come home and they're completely worn out. At an energetic year old, Asha NEVER gets worn out from playing...that is until she met her match in Renee! This was out first time using Rover and it was last minute and I had my concerns just because we had to trust this person in our home for the first time without ever meeting her. Every concern was gone as soon as I met Renee! I can't recommend her highly enough! She's amazing!!!”

About: I am a seasoned vet assistant, actively working towards my technician license. Fear free and pet CPR certified (BLS and ALS), as well as dog obedience and groomer certified. I am experienced with administering injectable, transdermal, and oral medications. I have been working with animals for over 10 years, and have been in the veterinary setting for 5. I have experience with fearful, reactive, fractious, and friendly animals. I am knowledgeable on the care/support of neonate and geriatric dogs, cats, reptiles, and pocket pets. I have a pet sitting service called RamBam’s Kritter Kare. I will ask for permission to post pets to promote my services. You can absolutely say no. Feel free to reach out on Facebook or Instagram with inquiries as well! I work overnight, so I will have time to care for your animals in the morning and in the evening. Depending on my work schedule, I may be able to accept afternoon appointments, but reach out to me personally to see my availability. I can do house visits and go for walks up to three times a day. My schedule is usually pretty open, so I can take time to get to know your pet, so we can build trust for future visits.

“Paige was incredible. She offered to come by to meet my dog and get a lay of the land prior to my booking and sent me lovely pics and updates all weekend. Highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses, and have experience in oral med administration with both cats and dogs. I have a soft spot for the big dogs (they're lap-sized if you commit!). I run half marathons so getting good exercise in will be no problem (even in Wisconsin weather!). I'm currently training for distance running, so you can expect great exercise for your pet! Whether it's a long meandering sniff-ari or an intense loop around the neighborhood, I would love to know what fits your dog best. As I'm in your home, your instructions are paramount. You know your pet better than anyone, and I am happy to keep their normal routines in place. I like getting to know each animal and their unique personality, and while I *love* giving snuggles and pets, I understand some pets prefer their space.

“I booked Jen to sit my senior dog who is very sweet but particular, and she did a fantastic job. Super clearly asking about his needs and his schedule so I could go on a family trip with no worries about my boy. Super timely and clear updates with fantastic pictures that made me feel immediately comforted. I’m looking forward to booking with Jen again when Peanut needs some extra care.”

“Sierra was fantastic! She saved us when our planned arrangement fell through and was very caring and responsible with our anxious poodle. When he got sick from worry she took him to the vet, gave him lots of extra care, and even organized a playdate with a new friend they met at the dog park. Definitely went above and beyond!”

“Tatyana is great with our dog. She was very understanding to a last minute change. Communication is great! Sent pictures and updates after her visits. Highly recommend.”

About: We have been loving and caring for dogs for a long time. Big and small dogs; young and old. Our son and 7 year old dog are welcoming I am currently working from home and Bryan works part time. Our son is home schooled at this time, therefore, we have time and energy to help other dogs and other families We have a large yard in a quiet neighborhood; part of our yard is fenced and other part is open for additional exercise. We also walk our dog daily.

“Shatoria was great. She engaged my two pups quite a bit. I received lots of photos of happy dogs, some cuddling with her - a good sign! The house was in excellent order, just as I left it. I plan to invite her to house/dog sit again. Thanks Shatoria!”

“Maricel was great with Oreo and kept me uptodate with walks and activities. She took great care of Oreo and he was a happy dog when I got home!!!”

“Travis is truly remarkable! We arranged a meet and greet where he invested time in getting to know our dog. He made sure to understand Remy's needs and ensured a perfect match. Travis went above and beyond by agreeing to house and Dog sit for 8 days. During his stay, Remy not only had the pleasure of regular walks but also relished the companionship at home. It's evident that Travis provided a level of care that exceeded our expectations. Our home was left in pristine condition, and to top it off, our neighbors were quick to compliment Travis on his friendly demeanor. Remy, our Husky German Shepherd Rescue, is eagerly anticipating his next stay with Travis. It's heartening to see such a positive connection between them. Travis has proven to be more than just a sitter; he's become a trusted companion for Remy. We're grateful to have found such a reliable and caring individual for our beloved pet.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was old enough to know what a pet was, whether it’s my own, a neighbor’s, or a friend/family member’s. I love animals, and am considering going into vet work! I have experience with both puppies/kittens and seniors as well :). I can walk, feed, give meds, and do anything you need! I’m a full-time student during the week, but I will always have time to drop-in, or stay overnight. I’m very flexible with my scheduling, so I will happily do whatever you and your pet need! While I can’t offer boarding at my home because I have four roommates, I will care for pets in every way possible no matter what! I know some nice parks for walks, and I’m also happy to chill if they’re a homebody! Again, entirely up to you and your pets needs :)

“Hailey was great with our dog who can be pretty particular!”

“Rachel stayed at our place while we were out of town and all the animals did great. She sent updates daily and look forward to her staying again while we are out of town. Would highly recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in middle school, often dog sitting for neighbors and friends! I grew up with dogs and now have a sweet 2 year old terrier of my own I'm currently working full time so I am looking for more weekend and holiday gigs! This being said I work downtown and usually get off right at 5, so can do evening walks. I have a friendly 20 lbs terrier of my own who loves to play play play! Your pup will certainly not be bored if staying at my home.

“This was Morgan's 2nd stay with our doggos - this time for a longer duration. Our dogs were well cared for and the house was clean. She even went above and beyond and did some shoveling! We're so grateful to have someone reliable and good with dogs to leave our babies with when we can't be the with them. Thank you, Morgan!”

About: I have had two labradors over the last 33 years -- each of them lived over 16 years. My dear Ruby died earlier this year. Just recently, in August, I adopted a small pittie named Emma. She is sweet and calm and likes every dog she has met so far. I have provided dog sitting to other labs, goldens, terriers, and 'background not confirmed' rescues for friends, relatives, and neighbors for over a dozen years. They are the ones that gave me the nickname Camp (or Spa) Marlene because their dogs had great stays with me. Kiddie pool in summer, trips to a lake (if the dogs have good recall) walks in morning and at night, goodies and lots of snuggles. While I cannot accept cats boarding at my house, I am fine with sitting your dog's cat siblings as well while I am at your house. And, if I do sitting at your house, I would now need to bring my dog Emma along. I work full time, so your dog will get a long walk, snuggles and breakfast before I go to work and likewise with dinner after I return home. If your dog usually goes to a dog park, I can follow that routine as well. I only take one client at a time, unless you and a friend already have established friendships between your dogs. I have a ranch house with a fenced backyard. If your dog has trouble with stairs, I have dog ramp to put on my 2 backyard steps to make going outside easy. Your dog is welcome to be free in the house while I am at work, but I have a large crate they can stay in (or bring your own) if they are more comfortable that way. If you want me to sit at your house, I'll follow whatever routine you use when you are gone.
