About: I have grown up caring for dogs since the age of 6! When my family got our first dog, I was immediately in love, and was always taking on the responsibility of caring for our dog because I loved her so much! As an adult, I have experience caring for dogs with my own Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie. I also have experience working with reactive dogs :). If your dog stays with me, I will love them like they are my own! September-May, I work full time 8-4 Monday through Friday. I work in a school, so during the summer, I am very open and available to care for your pets, whether it’s with walks, check-ins, or house sitting or boarding :)! I take my dog on walks before and after work, which is something I can do for your dog as well! In the evenings, I can give your dog all the attention they deserve! On the weekends, we can spend extra time playing, cuddling, and everything in between! I truly strive to treat your pet like my own. Whether in my home or yours, I will make sure to follow your pet's routine as closely as possible. All pets are allowed on any furniture in my home. They are allowed any toys and treats that you would allow as well!

“Thank you Linsie! 😀 I felt very confident my kitten was in good hands while I was away.”

About: I’ve owned, trained, showed, and bred animals since the 80s and a couple years ago I did additional schooling for dog training and currently use LIMA methods for dogs. I have several animals of my own with special needs and understand how important it is to keep a schedule. I have 12 ducks, ~40 chickens, 6 cats and 4 dogs. I’m up at the crack of dawn caring for my animals, so most of my days are very open to caring for your babies. I have had many careers, but this is the most rewarding and I’ve done it all my life. As a professional pet trainer and artist sometimes I will set aside time for dog shows, but I am available most anytime. Let me know what your baby requires and I’ll see to keeping your pet happy and healthy while you’re away. My pets are all friendly and well cared for and should I add in home boarding, I have extra crates and rooms for those pets who need quiet time.

“Emma did a terrific job looking after my lab, Cooper. She communicated after every drop-in with photos and updates. I highly recommend her for looking after your fur babies when you are out of town.”

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 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!

“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!”

About: Growing up with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits I have always been caring for all kinds of animals. I dog sit my sister’s labradoodle weekly and have my own golden doodle. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies and keep them occupied! Mornings and afternoons work best for me, any day of the week. I have a fenced in yard and one year old golden doodle of my own. Plenty of room for them to run around and play.

“Jessica watched my cat for a weekend while I was away. Overall, the whole experience with Jessica was great. She was super easy to communicate and work with. Did a great job sending me updates during the process and my cat warmed up to her super quickly. She went above and beyond and bought him a new bag of treats when he tore up his old one that left out on the counter before leaving. I highly recommend her watching your pet while you're away.”

About: I’ve worked as a vet tech, cared for pets in a boarding facility, and have hands-on experience rescuing and rehabilitating animals of all kinds. As well as I own 3 beautiful large breed dogs. One being disabled, and One having diabetes. Though i’ve never owned cats, I love to be around them. I’m currently working on finding a full time job but I am very flexible. I recently moved and my pets stayed with my parents, so my full attention can go to yours. I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment whether I'm in my own home or my client’s. I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any medication needs. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and relaxed while their owner is away. If I'm in a client’s home, I treat it with the utmost respect—keeping everything clean and secure, and maintaining communication with updates and photos. Whether it's a drop-in visit, dog walking, or overnight stays, I prioritize the pet’s well-being, comfort, and happiness above all.
