Cat Sitting Hortonville

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs with a variety of needs, including regularly dog-sitting for a dog with epilepsy and administering care according to their specific health requirements. I am certified in dog training and have experience working with a comfort dog through my university, which has helped me develop strong skills in reading canine behavior, building trust, and providing calm, consistent care. In addition, I have completed multiple courses focused on compassionate care, allowing me to provide attentive, patient, and individualized support for every dog I care for. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, a puppy, a senior, or has special medical needs, I am committed to ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I work full time, but I have availability in the afternoons after work and am fully available on weekends to stay with and care for pets. I’m committed to making sure each dog gets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship during those times. I’m reliable and able to plan my schedule in advance to ensure I can meet each pet’s needs while their owners are away. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and trustworthy environment for every pet in my care, whether in my home or the client’s home. I closely follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medication, routines, and behavior needs to ensure consistency and comfort for the pet. When caring for dogs in my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with constant supervision and a structured routine for walks, playtime, and rest. I have experience caring for dogs with special medical needs, including epilepsy, and I am attentive to any signs of stress or health changes. I am certified in dog training and use positive reinforcement and calm handling techniques to build trust and reduce anxiety. Additionally, my experience working with a comfort dog and training in compassionate care has strengthened my ability to provide patient, gentle, and responsible care for animals of all temperaments and needs.

“Kim and her son are the best pet sitters ever. They love our pets as much as we do. We love the pictures and updates. We can enjoy our vacation knowing Kim is taking care of our pets.”

“Abigail was an excellent communicator and very trustworthy. This was our first time using Rover, and were a little nervous, but Abigail sent us photos and little updates that reassured us that our 4 kitties were in good hands. We highly recommend Rover & Abigail!”

Kitty L.

“Wonderful! Great updates for me, loved my pup (6 year old dog) well, and took my pup for a quick walk in the 30 minute check in window. I greatly appreciate her!”

Hannah E.

“Amazing! Adore the nature of your care for our pup and last minute willingness to help us out. Thank you!”

“Julia did a wonderful job of caring for our critters. She followed our instructions perfectly. We will definitely be calling her again next time we need to go out of town.”

Barbara L.

“Allison is a true Cat Whisperer! We have 2 kitties, each with very different personalities--one who is very shy and the other who thinks he's a guard dog and threatens to attack the "intruder". But in a very short time she has charmed both of them. The shy one is coming out of her shell and the aggressive one sees her as his new best friend....a truly difficult thing to do with animals who don't trust strangers. I HIGHLY recommend her services....there are "no worries" leaving the house when Allison is in charge!”

Colette S.

“This was our first time having Sara care for our cat who has a very strong personality. Sara was amazing - caring, communicative, and our cat loved her attention. She was attentive and on schedule, and went over and above. We will certainly invite Sara back into our home!”

Lisa H.

“Very kind, responsive, punctual!”

David W.

“Savannah is always a reliable sitter. She takes good care of my boy when I have to travel for work last minute.”

Liv J.

“Lanie was great! She was timely, sent me photos of how my dog was doing, came to visit prior to our booking, and communicated how things were going. I would defiantly recommend her!”

About: I’ve spent several years providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection to keep pets happy and relaxed while their families are away. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment so every pet feels comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly rhythm, especially since I work from home three days a week. On those WFH days, I’m able to offer flexible, consistent attention—perfect for pets who enjoy companionship, regular check‑ins, or a steady routine. I build feeding times, walks or play sessions, potty breaks, and general wellness checks around my work blocks, making sure pets get the care and interaction they need throughout the day. On the days I’m in the office, I plan visits intentionally to keep each pet’s routine stable. Whether it’s morning care, midday enrichment, or evening check‑ins, I make sure every pet gets predictable, comforting attention. Because I’m used to balancing a hybrid schedule with pet responsibilities, I’m very organized and reliable about maintaining consistent care all week long. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine, environment, and comfort exactly the way they’re used to. I follow the owner’s instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, medication needs, and any household rules—so pets feel secure and stress‑free. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, whether they need extra play, quiet companionship, or a slow, gentle approach. I keep the home tidy and respectful, making sure food and water areas stay clean, litter boxes or potty routines are maintained, and any messes are handled right away. I also pay attention to small details like closing gates, locking doors, turning lights on or off as requested, and keeping the home feeling lived‑in and safe. Throughout the stay, I send updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing.

“Very good. Came home to a happy kitty”

“Caitlin and Samuel were a wonderful dog sitter! They treated my dog’s like her own, made sure all needs were met, and kept me updated with messages and photos. I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for. I will definitely book with her again!””

About: Hello! Over the last few years, I have gained experience in caring for dogs in daycare and boarding settings, as well as in some training settings. The knowledge that I have gained from these experiences sets me apart because I now know the importance of building trust with pets. I am an advocate for positive reinforcement training methods, and have some experience with Fear Free methods as well. While I do not have any dog training certifications, I have had the opportunity to work alongside some wonderful dog professionals who have expanded my knowledge and understanding of what it means to advocate for all dogs, especially those who may be a bit more fearful. If you have a pet who needs to take things slow, or has some behaviors that may not make them successful in a dog daycare setting, I would be happy to see if I can make it into their "safe people" club! After 3 years working full-time in the dog care industry, I have become fluent in dog body language and communication. If you have questions about your dog's behavior, I'm happy to give you my best input and point you in the direction of resources that may be a good fit for you and your pet! I am also happy to take care of baths and nails for dogs as long as you have supplies. I have 3 years of professional experience in both, but no haircuts:) I am working part time in the mornings and evenings for a few hours at a time, so I can fill my schedule around those hours with hanging out with your pet! In caring for your pup, I will monitor their behavior and ensure they are happy and excited about any activities we may be doing. When on walks, I like to keep away from any other dogs or people we may come upon, just to ensure everyone's safety and comfort. I keep a close eye on our surroundings, both on walks and in homes, to ensure nothing ends up in the mouths of curious pups that shouldn't be there.

“Olivia was fantastic. Very dependable. She went above and beyond with our 2 cats. Sent pictures every day and great feedback. Will definitely use her again.”

“Lynne, took great care of my cat Oliver. Sent pics daily, told me about what she did and how Oliver was. Highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”

“Michelle was lovely to work with and very responsive. She was always forward about what was happening and on time. She definitely loves animals and understands how much we love our pets!”
