About: Hello! Thank you for taking a moment to view my profile. I am an experienced, compassionate pet sitter and I also have a degree as a Vet Tech, so you can be sure your pet will be in good hands. I have taken care of pets in my neighborhood for over 25 years now, and have many long-term clients. I enjoy long walks, running, playing, snuggling, you name it. I don't just show up and sit there. I have experience giving meds, changing bandages, and more as well, so if there's an extra step needed to ensure your pet is healthy and happy, I am able to assist. Why I love dog sitting I have had animals my whole life, grew up on a farm. I’ve been pet sitting for 25 years for a large variety of pets. I’m comfortable with all breeds, ages, and temperament. My experience administering medication Yes. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I have administered pills, shots, ointments, etc. I have worked in a traditional clinic setting as well as in some pretty remote locations in Mexico so I am well versed in a variety of meds and situations.

About: Although I am newer to dog sitting, I have stayed at family and friend’s homes with their dogs multiple times in the last year including following feeding schedules, walking, playing fetch, and more. I love to play fetch with dogs and sometimes end up enjoying it more than they do. I have a high energy personality that is also nurturing and sweet. I personally one day want at least one dog of my own so this is good experience in and of itself to learn about different breeds. I would love to get to know your dog :) I do work a job 8-5pm during the weekdays, but am open on the weekends and would be willing to stay the night at your home. I offer checking up on your dog during my open breaks during the day, playing fetch, walking your dog, pee breaks, and following a feeding schedule that you have. I am also open to learning new skills that you are open to teaching me and that are within your comfort.

“Bella was so wonderful! She came and kept Boone company while we were at a wedding in town. We felt safe and comfortable with our dog in her care. It was nice that she sent pictures and updates too! Thank you again Bella!”


“Skylar was a great sitter and loved how she interacted with Darwin! Would book her again in the future and will recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! Thank you Skylar!”


About: Growing up, we always had animals in the house! I enjoy being around them, & giving them back the love & care they so selfishly show to us. I would LOVE to take care of yours while you’re away :) I work a full time job, but I am off most Tuesday afternoons, Fridays, and weekends. M-Th is usually busy for me, but beyond that I am open (with timely notice). I am more than willing to visit your house to take care of your pet and their needs! Whether that means playing with them indoors, or outdoors (no matter the conditions) I would be happy to. I currently do not offer pet sitting overnight in my household / yours, just due to my family’s current schedule.

About: Hi, my name is Megan. I have been volunteering at my local Humane Society, for over 2 years, so I’ve had lots of experience with so many different breeds of dogs! I enjoy all types of animals. Potty breaks I know are important along with tons of play time. I am able to learn/ adapt to your pets needs! All animals are wonderful in my eyes! Lots of pets and scratches, and belly rubs also included! I personally would love to be able to watch your pets. It’s my dream job I’d say! I’m very laidback, and have a calm personality . Also I’ll treat your pet as I would my very own. I work part time! So most days I am available to walk or watch your animals! Just message me to talk more about how I can care for your animal(s)! I would do anything for my animals. There is a fenced in big back yard! My 2 dogs love it. I keep my two dogs as healthy as possible! I love them like family.

“Linsie was AMAZING with our dog, Ellie. Our dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times meeting new people, but Linsie was so calm and kind with her! We even asked short notice and she was able to come through and help us! Thanks again, Linsie!”


“Lindsay was beyond amazing, I wish I could leave more than 5 stars! She was very patient with my dog the first time she met her, and now they are the best of friends! She sent SO many adorable update photos and left sweet notes which made me feel reassured. This was my first time using a Rover sitter, and I plan on sticking with Lindsay for a long time to come!”


About: Hi there! My name is Kali, and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and they’ve always been a big part of my family. We also had a cat in the house, so I’m comfortable around both furry friends! Spending time with dogs is something I truly enjoy, whether it’s going for walks, playing in the yard, or just relaxing together. I’m patient, responsible, and always happy to match the energy level of your pup, whether they’re playful or more laid-back. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs and I understand the different levels of care and attention each one needs. I’d love to meet your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! Now through the end of August, I’m local in Winona and work remotely most days. I commute to La Crosse only on Wednesdays (7:30 AM – 3:30 PM), so I’m very available in Winona the rest of the week. Starting in September, I’ll be commuting to La Crosse Monday through Friday, and will be available for pet care after work hours. I’m also available some weekends, and I’ll always keep my availability updated here so you know exactly when I’m free. While I won’t be caring for pets in my own home, I take pride in providing attentive, respectful care in your pet’s home where they’re most comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, crating, or anything else they need within reason. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’ll treat your home and animals with care and respect!

About: I've been around animals my whole life, from dogs and cats, to rabbits and birds, even goats and turkeys. I'm always happy to be around them, and am more than willing to make sure they're happy as well. My family always knows who to call when they need the critters taken care of, no matter what. I currently have open availability, from morning to evening, and weekends are open to all. Nothing better to start the day than a walk with man's best friend. I can't board pets in my apartment, and depending on the dog/client wishes in question I tend to let them follow their normal routine. I always make sure that they get plenty of exercise and fresh air.

About: I have been working with animals professionally since I was 13. I worked at the Wisconsin Humane Society for 8 years, walking & playing with dogs, and socializing other animals such as cats and rabbits. I have worked as an “Animal Wrangler” at summer camp, tending to new puppies, reptiles, small mammals, etc. around camp! I have lots of experience as a pet sitter for family and friends, and I’ve also been taking care of my own pets my whole life: dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, snakes, you name it! My 2 kitties (Bella and Luna), crested gecko (Rango), and cornsnake (Pabu aka Mr Noodle) are my life. I call them my kids - I’ll treat your pets like I treat my own. I work a regular 8 - 5 on weekdays, so I’ll be available for visits in the evening, and I’m available full time most weekends. Message me and we’ll work something out! I have 2 very friendly cats who have lived with 2 dogs their whole lives up until now, a friendly cornsnake, and adorable created gecko. My fiancé and I call them our kids. We adore all animals and will give your babies some extra love. I don’t have dogs of my own here, so I’d love to be able to take care of yours, for both our sakes! 😊

About: I have had multiple pets throughout my life! I currently have a crazy staffy myself right now!! I have worked at a doggie daycare as well for about 3 years! I currently am working at Mayo Clinic! I always feed and let my pup out in the AM and sometimes on break if I have time I will visit him! After work we go for a walk if the weather is nice! I always let my pup out in the AM and a couples times in the afternoon so your pup would receive the same!! Walks are a must as well!

About: I’ve grown up and have cared for dogs, cats, reptiles and rodents for as long as I can remember. I used to volunteer at the La Crescent Animal Rescue helping clean, care for and fostering animals. Now that I own my own house, I have a dog and cat who are both very friendly! I’m looking to help care for other animals short-term to experience the joy of getting to be with others pets. I have three days off a week (Thursday-Saturday) that I can board or watch your pet for the day/night! However, I work full time the other four days so I am only available to walks. I can board if you are comfortable with the animals being left home while I work. I have a fenced in yard with a friendly dog and cat to keep your pet company! We have an additional bedroom if separation were ever needed.

About: I have dog sat for 4 years now! I can take care of any size dog. I am working full time 8-5 M-F. I am able to come home during lunch to take the dogs out as well with your request. Happy to stay overnight, and I am fine with sleeping on the couch. Weekends I am happy to stay at your house full time. Will ask for approval when I leave the house unless permission is granted before hand! Let me know if you want pictures of your pups and updates, or if you need time away from the dogs I can take care of anything without updates. Please give me any details regarding food, routines, medicine, and other duties you would like me to complete! I clean up when I leave as well, so everything will look the same as when you left! :) I have taken care of my two family dogs since a very young age. Dogs love me, and I love them. I would be very happy to take care of your dog/dogs when you have other business to attend to. I graduated Viterbo Spring 2024 and have a full-time job, but I am able to let the dogs out at lunch during the week and stay overnight as well. I am completely free on weekends, and would love to spend my free time caring for your awesome dogs. I would like nothing more than to offer you a cheap alternative to a kennel for your dogs on weekends. I provide care to other dogs by responding to their needs, giving them space, attention, and of course playtime whenever they need them. I love to go on walks with dogs, and I learned different techniques to respond to different behaviors at the Coulee Region Humane Society. When meeting for the first time, it is important that I can recognize the body language of the dogs to ensure their comfort and safety as well as my own safety. Meet and greets before sitting are highly recommended.

“Heather is a true cat-sitting superstar! She did an amazing job taking care of my furry friends, and I couldn't be happier with her services. Not only was Heather prompt and reliable, but she also made sure my cats were entertained and content during my absence. When I returned home, my kitties were purring with joy, clearly showing they had a blast with Heather. If you're in need of a top-notch cat-sitter, look no further. Heather is the real deal! five stars all the way!”


“Ally is SO sweet! She really helped ease my mind leaving my foster kittens home while I worked by checking on them, playing with them, feeding them, and sending me the cutest photos! Great communication, very professional - highly recommend!”


About: I've taken care of my own and other pets for 10-15 years. I am able to deliver medication and I've taken care of senior dogs many times as well. I'm working part time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to make almost any routine fit! I also stay very active so any animals that are active and need walking is fun for me! I can easily crate animals if needed. In a client's home, I can walk or drive animals to nearby places to allow them to exercise if preferred!


About: I've taken care of animals my whole life. Growing up my family had a small hobby farm where we cared for many animals. Since moving out I have owned and helped train multiple working dogs, including the pointer I have now. I have no problem administering medications if needed. I already walk my multiple times a day so your dog will get plenty of exercise. My girlfriend works from home and I have a flexible work schedule so we are available any time you may need. Your dog will always have someone around if they like constant attention! I live in a house with a large, mostly fenced in backyard. My dog has never met someone he doesn't love, and will run/play until he can't stand anymore! Plenty of room for exercise and play!
