Cat Sitting in Hollandale

“Our cats LOVE Laura! Our cats have been known as the extremely timid types that people may be lucky enough to see. It's unheard of for them to be pet by people other than my husband and I. For this, it can take years to do. Laura was able to pet both of our cats this time around. That amazed me! We're very very grateful to have such a wonderful sitter for our precious kitties while we're away. She brought in our mail and watered our plants as well. We highly recommend Laura.”

“Alicia reliably came on each date and thoroughly checked that all cats were in a happy, healthy state. Alicia did a great job of communicating that the cats were fine so as to keep my vacation free of worry.”

I'm professional trained as a dog groomer, worked professionally for over 6 years as a groomer, dog trainer and doggie daycare provider. I have also worked as a vet assistant for 2 years in Denver Colorado. I am certified in humane and dog CPR and I graduated with an EMS degree for humans, this training helps me respond to variety of situations with confidence.

I am an avid dog lover and enjoy spending time with my dogs and other people's dogs. I can stay home full time now. I also have a full acer that is fenced and I have walking trails in the country and I still frequently go to the dog park and I am never gone more than 1-2 hours. Rover is away for me to stay home with my dogs and hopefully your dogs. My dogs LOVE having dog friends visit our pack and home.-I am a firm believer in the saying "A tired dog is a good dog".- I have been dog sitting full time for the past year and I enjoy being home all day long.

About: Hi! I’ve always had a huge love for animals and honestly can’t imagine life without them. I worked at PetSmart for 3 years as a Pet Care Associate, where I cared for all kinds of animals — from dogs and bunnies to lizards and other small pets. That experience taught me so much about animal behavior, patience, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I also know the doggy Heimlich maneuver, so your pet’s safety is always something I take seriously. I grew up surrounded by pets and now have two of my own as an adult, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm comforting presence, I’ll always treat them like one of my own ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle because animals are truly what I love spending my time around 🐾 I work 8–4 in Wisconsin Dells, and outside of work, caring for animals is honestly my favorite way to spend my free time. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping pets company, it never feels like a chore to me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy ❤️ I’ve always grown up with pets and currently have two of my own, so caring for animals has always been part of my daily life. I love creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away 🐶🐱 When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s home—I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and sticking closely to their normal routine 🐾 In my own home, I care for my two pets daily by making sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime, walks when needed, and a calm, clean environment. I really treat them like part of my family, and their well-being is a big part of my everyday life. When caring for a client’s pets, I bring that same level of care and consistency. I follow instructions closely, maintain feeding and potty routines, give lots of love and attention based on each pet’s personality, and always prioritize safety. I also pay attention to behavior and comfort so pets feel as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. With my experience working at PetSmart and years of caring for animals in both personal and professional settings, I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds and always aim to make them feel secure, loved, and at home!

“MacKena was great! Flexible with her availability. Great with my boxer. They like each other! Administered her pill. Sends reports regarding her visit with my dog, along with pictures. Responsive to messages. I will definitely use her again.”

About: Hi! I’m Kasi and I live in Mineral Point, WI I've grown up with pets my entire life. After losing my dog Lacey in 2021, it's felt quite strange not having a pet close by. I've taken care of both dogs and cats for over 4 years. Neighbors family and friends have counted on me to walk, feed, and make sure they go to the bathroom. I also work part time at a local pet daycare center so I've gotten to know pets very quickly. Each pet I've cared for has left their pawprint on my heart in some way shape or form-and forever will! I currently work remotely in Mineral Point, and also work full time for a non profit organization. I am able to stop by if you ever need me to. I have stayed at family homes to provide care for pets. I adhere to any instructions provided by each pet owner to ensure they maintain the same schedule before, during and after my stay. I ensure to maintain constant communication with pet owners, and let them know how their pet is doing.

“Lainee was amazing! The dogs did so well while we were gone. She communicated well and kept us updated!”

“Great job. My guy was super happy and seemed comfortable. He got to go out a lot too! She took tons of pictures and was easy to get ahold of.”

Lindsey C.

“Monica was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She watched her for a few hours and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the clear love she has for animals. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! I can’t wait to book with her again the next time we need it”

All of my dogs have lived long, exceptionally spoiled lives, and I follow current dog training suggestions for behavior. I’ve raised a few litters of Danes, and most recently, a litter of Bassets. I have a full time job during the week so am really only available on weekends, but depending on location, exceptions can be made especially if it is for just check-ins. I’m willing to come to your home and follow your pet rules so your pets stay comfortable and safe, and don’t have their routine disrupted.

About: I’ve been a proud dog owner for over 15 years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pups. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve volunteered at local animal shelters, where I helped walk, feed, and socialize dogs from all backgrounds. I'm comfortable with a variety of breeds and activity levels, and I always tailor my approach to each dog’s individual needs, whether it’s a long walk for an active dog, playtime and enrichment for a curious pup, or calm companionship for an older one. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, safe, and loved. I don't have much experience with cats but am eager to learn and help any cat parent that needs it. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to check on or walk pets during the day or anytime during the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your dog, visiting for a drop in, or staying in your home, I make sure each pet feels relaxed, secure, and loved. During walks, I always use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior and surroundings. For drop in visits, I follow your routine for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks to keep things consistent and stress free. When staying in your home, I treat your space with respect and keep everything clean and tidy while maintaining your pet’s usual schedule.

About: I have dog/cat sat for neighbors when I was younger and I am a huge animal lover. I have experience and will spoil your pet. I currently work Mon-Fri 8am-5pm looking to find a little side gig taking care of peoples pets so they can enjoy getting away every now and then. On leash depends on how the customer cares for their dog. I’m a huge pet lover and love to take care of any size dog or cat.

About: Hi there! I’m a dedicated pet lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. At home, I share my life with two wonderful dogs and a cat, who keep me on my toes and remind me every day why I love animals so much. I have extensive experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, including dogs with mild special needs. I’m very comfortable administering medications (oral, topical—whatever your pup requires) and have done so many times with calm confidence. One of my own dogs struggles with reactivity, so I’ve developed strong skills in managing reactive dogs safely. I know how to read body language, stay calm under pressure, maintain control during walks or encounters, and use positive techniques to keep everyone safe and stress-free. If your dog needs a patient, understanding sitter who won’t get flustered, I’m your person! Beyond dogs, I also have experience caring for cats, rabbits, and even chickens, so I’m happy to look after multi-pet households or other small animals. I work a full-time job Tuesday through Thursday, but I’m mostly available Mondays, Fridays, and full available most weekends for house sitting, drop-ins, or walks. Your pets will get plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and personalized attention during those times—I treat every pet like family. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or feathered!) friends and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work full time, but am able to work from home Mondays and Fridays and am usually home for weekends. During my work from home days I can occasionally slip away from my work to check in on your pet. It doesn’t matter to me if you have a fenced yard, I will gladly take your dog for a long walk to get all of their energy out. I have never believed letter a dog out in a fenced yard is enough exercise. Dogs need physical and mental stimulation.

About: My name is Gina. I have pet sat and worked in doggy daycares for several years. I enjoy the reprieve of being around and interacting with animals. I have lived with cats growing up and currently reside with dogs. I try to cater to their specific needs as I know each animal is different. I provide affection, exercise and care with walks, play toy/fetch, cuddle/pet, feedings, and I make sure to leave the area as clean as when I arrived. I am playful and will get down and silly with them on their level. I am also respectful of coming into their home/domain. They get to check me out first for approval and allow me into their space. I also specialize in pet photography and love bringing my camera along to capture sweet and special moments.

“Sarah was prompt and my dog immediately took to her. They went for a nice long walk and he was happy and tired at the end! I will definitely use her again to entertain my pup.”

About: I have had a passion for dogs since I’ve been 11. I have been walking, help train, and taking care of dogs for some time now I love everything to do with animals! I only work part time so that gives me a lot of time to spend with your pup! I have a huge yard and am just ready to have dogs running in it! Right away in the mornings the dogs get taken outside, then it’s breakfast, and then outside some more!
