I’m so glad I booked Wendy for drop-in visits with my cat while I was away for 5 days. She not only kept him fed, watered, gave meds and scooped the box, she also gave him plenty of cuddles and love. It was great having that peace of mind knowing my sweet boy was in excellent hands back home. Thank you so much!

About: I've rescued all over 50 dogs, have years of pet-sitting experience and love animals of all shapes and sizes! Even skittish pets trust me perhaps because I have a calm personality. I have retired after working at Riverview Medical center for 25 years so I have lots of time to spend with your pet family! I am available most days and/or evenings. I will follow your instructions to the letter- you know what is best for your pet. I will sit with them, feed them, play with them, walk them, administer medicine and/or treats or do whatever is needed to keep them healthy and happy!

About: I have extensive experience at an animal shelter, where I was tasked with walking and helping train dogs of all different sizes and behavioral patterns. I have also done overnight stays with dogs, ensuring these fur babies are being taken care of while their owners are away! I am currently working a part time library job about four days out of the week and am looking to make time for dog walking/sitting in between those days! Caring for pets in my client’s home means slowly introducing myself to their space so they know I can be welcomed and trusted in their environment! This means acclimating myself to their space and following their behaviors based on boundaries.

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with plenty of experience caring for family pets and neighbors' dogs, often stepping in as a trusted pet sitter when they’re away. Over the years, I’ve learned how to handle different breeds and temperaments with patience and care, always making sure each dog feels comfortable and safe in my home. I also have a well-trained dog of my own, who’s friendly and well-behaved, however, when I watch other dogs, they’ll have the house to themselves on occasion, (as he frequently spends time visiting his grandma!), giving them space to relax without the stress of interacting with a new animal. My goal is always to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels right at home. I’m currently working freelance and have the flexibility to watch your pet as needed during the week and weekend. With advanced notice, I am able to provide boarding/overnight services. My home offers a clean, open floor plan with plenty of space for your dog to relax and explore comfortably. There’s an enclosed outdoor patio for fresh air and sun, along with two large dog beds topped with clean sheets to help your pup feel right at home. I also provide natural treats as a little extra touch to keep them happy and satisfied. When your pet is staying with me, they’ll be my top priority. I’m committed to giving them my full attention, care, and affection during their visit.

Kamryn is wonderful! Highly recommend. She was prompt, polite and attentive. She provided daily updates, pictures while we were away. She kept all 4 litter boxes clean and food bowls fresh. My two senior cats are not always easy to please, but she won them over! Will be booking her again for our next trip!

About: I'm Michael, your premier local dog walker! Serving the local Two Rivers area and adjacent towns, I provide both dog walking and pet drop in visits that can be scheduled on a consistent or as needed basis. Services can be tailored to the needs of pets and owners alike. Walks are a happy and healthy way to give your pet a bit of exercise and social interaction! 30 minute walks (or longer) can be around your local neighborhood or a nearby park, wherever your dog is most comfortable. If a walk is not the right fit for your dog, a drop-in visit is a great option to provide your pet with some human companionship (potty break and some treats too!). All sizes and breeds are welcome! I have experience with pets of all kinds, including horses! My goal is to provide a relaxed and happy experience for both pet and owner. I offer flexible hours for convenience. Please contact me with any questions or requests! **Have an open and flexible schedule for your needs **I will take time to walk your pet for at least 30 minutes or more upon request I will make sure your cinnabuns get some exercise and everything else they need from being out and about on their walks all while being safe!

I work full time in the clinic, but I can manage my schedule around the necessities needed for your pet! We can work a schedule together!

About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love and dedication to every animal I care for. From raising blue ribbon show dogs to nurturing pets with special needs, I’ve seen it all—and loved them all. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My deep empathy and understanding of animal behavior ensure your pet receives not just care, but comfort and connection. Whether it's a leisurely walk, a wellness check-in, or specialized support, your furry (or otherwise!) family is in gentle, experienced hands. I am a middle school and high school ESL teacher, which gives me a lot of flexibility over the summer to take care of furry friends! As our yard is not fenced in, and we have two cats of our own inside, caring for pets in my own home is sadly not an option. However I'm happy to come over as frequently as needed for walks and check-ins
