House Sitting in Irvington

“We selected Janet for the first time using Rover, and we got lucky! She was absolutely great with the dogs (our shyer dog seemed to get comfortable with her very quickly), and she left the house in great condition. She sent regular updates and pictures of the dogs. Highly recommend using Janet to watch your dogs!”

“Desiree has been the biggest delight to work with. Her communication is impeccable. Any questions I have asked she has responded immediately answering all questions and then some. We could enjoy our time away with family knowing our babies were in good hands. She kept me updated as to how they were throughout. We were so pleased that we have already booked our next visit.”

“Marissa was wonderful with Jackson! She kept me informed and shared pictures while we were away. She was also house sitting for us which made our vacation worry free! I will definitely use Marissa in the future.”

“Jenny put up with our ridiculous Frenchies and even collected eggs from the chickens each day. The house was in the shape we left it and she communicated each day with updates. Would recommend!”

“Rae was great to work with. She took great care of our pups and shared pictures through the night! We felt very comfortable with her in our home and will definitely use her services again!!!”

About: I have been taking care of animals for most of my life. I have been entrusted in taking care of family and friend’s animals. I know people see their animals as part of the family and will ensure that your pets still feel that love even when you can’t be around. I’m currently working part time evening shifts, so I will have plenty of time during the day when you are at work! I also have weekend availability Since I will be taking care of your animal in your own home, I will be happy to abide by your pets usual schedule. You know your own home, so you will be happy to know your pet is in a safe, familiar environment!

About: I'm a 21 year old college student who has always had a deep love for animals, and I plan on working with them for the rest of my life. I’ve worked in the Pet Care department at PetSmart—including cat adoptions—for over 2.5 years, and I’m currently a doggy daycare attendant and groomer at Waggin’ Tails in Menomonie, where I’ve been for the past 8 months. Each day, I care for groups of 15+ dogs, making sure they’re not only safe, but having fun, getting the enrichment they need, and going home happy and well-cared for. I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors, as well as dogs who are deaf, blind, anxious, or need a little extra patience. This has given me valuable experience with dog behavior, basic training, crate and kennel handling, grooming, hygiene, and more. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, and now that I’m in college and living in an apartment, I truly cherish my time working with animals. I recently adopted two sweet cats, and they tolerate dogs, though due to my small apartment size, I usually prefer pet sitting or visits at your home. That said, depending on the pet, I’m open to discussing care in my space as well. In addition to my dog care experience, I have extensive knowledge and hands-on experience with a variety of pets, including birds, small animals, reptiles, and fish. I’m a proud crested gecko and frog mama, and have a well-maintained fish tank. This broad experience has deepened my understanding of the specific needs and care requirements of different types of animals, allowing me to provide well-rounded care for all kinds of pets. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in for feeding and play, or full-time care while you’re away, I will treat them like one of my own—with love, patience, and plenty of attention. I believe working with animals is my true calling, and I would be honored to meet your pet and be part of their care team! I work at Waggin’ Tails Doggy Daycare on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet care—including evenings and weekends. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities—whether they’re in my care at your home or mine. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with two cats who tolerate dogs. While my apartment is small and cozy, it has a large yard just outside my door (unfortunately, it’s not fenced), I’m open to hosting dogs depending on their temperament and needs. However, due to my cats’ personalities, I’m unable to house additional cats at my home. That said, I typically prefer caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel most secure. I offer a variety of services, including walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, enrichment activities, and even administering medication or supplements if needed. I have personal experience with administering daily medications to my own cats, so I’m gentle and thorough with this process. When caring for pets in your home, I always respect your space and follow any specific routines or care instructions you provide. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, secure, and loved while you’re away.

“We came home to a happy puppy! Emma keep up with our Murphy. He was a sleepy boy so we know they must have played hard. Emma was an excellent dog sitter. We will definitely use Emma again. 10/10.”

About: I have over 18 years of experience house and animal sitting from overnights to up to 6 weeks in duration; caring for not only dogs but also horses (full boarding barn to a couple of pasture horses), cats, fish, rabbits, goats, chickens, etc. I know what it's like to worry about my pets when I'm away, so I strive to give top notch care, follow all instructions, and have fun with your dog! All while keeping you updated with pictures/texts on how they're doing. I am happy to provide most any dog/house sitting arrangement, walking/visit or boarding. At our country home we have a peaceful and fun environment and private large field that is kept mowed. Your dog will be supervised very closely. Non smoking home. Thank you for considering me; I hope you have a great day! I am a stay at home mom to one and I am home most or all of the day. We are very flexible but also stay on schedule and can accommodate your dog's routine. We live in the country and have ample space for private walks as well as a large mowed field. I supervise very closely and am diligent about keeping your dog as safe as possible on leash while still having fun and exercising. I will feed and take dog out following all instructions.

“Kailey did a fantastic job with our dogs. We couldn’t be happier. It was nice knowing they were in good hands while we were away. The communication was excellent during the entire process. She sent daily updates and pictures that were very much appreciated. Thank you!!”

About: I am a caring and responsible person who would love to spoil your fur (or scaly) baby(ies)! My family has had dogs all my life, and in 2020 I started my own pet-sitting business. Since 2020 I have gained the trust of over 20 families and would love to add your baby(ies) to my extended pet family. I have experience giving medications to dogs of all ages and am willing to learn your specific routines to give them best care possible. I am currently doing pet care full time and I am available to help you out 7 days a week at any time, day or night.

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Growing up on a farm, I have lots of experience with large animals and small animals! I have lots of free time on my hands right now. I’m available all day most weekdays. Weekends vary for me. Can’t wait for you to reach out to me! I would not be able to watch your pet at my house, as I have one dog that isn’t so friendly to new pets unfortunately.

“Jessica stayed at our house and took care of our dog, Destiny, while we were out of town for a week. She went above and beyond in every way possible. It is a leap of faith to trust someone with not only your pet, but also your house, and Jessica did not let us down in the slightest. She kept us updated with pictures and videos and was a great communicator. She left the house incredibly tidy and even stripped the bed and replaced some groceries -truly an incredible person. We could tell Destiny had a great time too! We are so grateful to have found Jessica and will continue to request her as our sitter when we go out of town. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars, truly an exceptional sitter!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a small girl, I grew up always having pets and I always love taking care of them. I live on a small hobby farm with goats and chickens and I love taking care of them too! I have 3 dogs and 1 cat and I would do anything for them. I have taken care of puppies a few times but not too much. I am currently going to school but I have plenty of time on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and some weekends. I have specific times during the weekdays but that can be further discussed! I live in a dorm right now so I can’t have any animals here unless if they are quiet and that they are very well potty trained

About: Growing up on the farm we had lots of pets. For me dogs are like best friends they walk with you and they are so happy to see you when you show up . Just in general dogs and cats are loveable creatures and they all need to be loved just like humans do. I use to clean homes for people and if they had dogs or cats they are the first I like to meet for a minute just like anyone would do if you showed up to see a baby for how cute or you get that instinct . I just in General love animals even though I was chased by a dog that tried biting me I would not let that fear show and move on. I also have 1 dog 1 cat 2 fish and 2 lizards that live with me.
