House Sitting in Linden

About: I’ve constantly been surrounded by all kinds of animals throughout my life. I especially love cats as I have 2 of my own but will spread the love to even reptiles! My past experience includes years of dog sitting for a family friend, for stays up to 2 weeks long. The dogs were also older so I had to accommodate their needs as well. I walked, fed, pet, and played with them all while maintaining as similar of a schedule that I could for their comfort. I am unemployed until the summer, when I will be working full-time, so I’m constantly home! My cats are fed around the clock three different times so I’m here for that. I just go to classes for a few hours in the middle of the day and come right home. I am a student who lives in a 2 bedroom apartment with my boyfriend so we have a spare room to cater towards your fur baby in our space. For client’s homes, I always follow instructions given to provide the utmost comfort and familiarity for your pet.

“Alyssa was so great with our dogs. She went out of the way to do a meet and greet before hand to make sure our dogs were comfortable with her. She kept us updated, sent us tons of pictures which our daughters loved, and kept our house just the way we left it. I could tell our dogs were very happy and comfortable with her. We will be using Alyssa all the time. Highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats. As an adult, I’ve always had cats and other critters. My animals tend to live very long, loving lives. I have summers off, so I have quite a bit of availability part of the year. I’m an early riser, so can do mornings easily. Most evenings I’m available for care, walks or feedings. We live on a highway, so our animals have always been inside. The cats usually have free rein of the house and our enclosed deck is sometimes a place they like to be.

About: I've been taking care of pups for 10 plus years now. Dogs are truly the best family members, and I would do everything in my power to help them be comfortable and happy. I have a fulltime job, but with the extra time on weekends and evenings, I want to use that time to do what I love, and make people's pups happy! I live by a dog park and have plenty of areas to walk around! I live in a one-bedroom spacious apartment that is very dog friendly.

“Lensy was amazing with my two pups, including meds, walks, and lots of love and attention, which is what they need. She’s great with communication and updates, and took excellent care of my two doggos!”

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.

“Meg did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Lux, at my venue on my wedding day. She was great to work with and very responsive throughout the entire process. She even took some cute photos of him in his wedding attire! From the moment I met her, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry about a thing. Meg went above and beyond, and I truly could not recommend her enough!”

“Sam took excellent care of my dogs and home. I was happy to get pics and updates, as well as to come home to a clean house. He even washed the bedsheets ? I recommend Sam for both house and pet sitting!”

Marit S.

“Matt is excellent! He's very communicative, sends the cutest photos each day, and is very professional. He goes out of his way to be accommodating and my dogs love him!”

“Skyla was responsive and incredibly attentive to our dogs. She was very communicative and anticipated the needs of our pets. Would definitely have her watch after our dogs again!!”

About: I’ve had animals in every corner of my life, throughout my whole life! I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats all with various needs such as medications, appointments, and mobile assistance. I have also volunteered with Wisconsin WildCare and local humane societies. I am a passionate & fearless animal advocate with speed dial access to a large animal vet and a retired DNR officer. I will treat your pet as my own whether it’s in my home or your home. I work a full time job only seven minutes from my home. My job is incredibly flexible and understanding of my need to let animals out or even leave work early for pet care! I have a balcony that animals can hang out on and a large grassy field that I take animals for walks on. I always keep them leashed. If I want them to be unleashed, I can take them to the local dog park five minutes from my house! I am comfortable with animals on furniture and sleeping in bed with me. I have access to my own crate if the animal is crate trained.

“Soo kind and patient with our 3 month old puppy. Cleaned up accidents (including washing and drying a throw pillow that our naughty pup decided to pee on) left our house spotless as if untouched. Very communicative and sent updates & photos throughout her stay! 10/10 recommend , will use again in the future!”

About: I think something, I can proudly say is that I have people meet me once and trust me to watch their pets. I’ve had pets and I have taken care of friends and families pets since I was 12. Truly bonding with my pets was the highlight of my childhood, an experience that I know not every child is fortunate to have. I’ve seen my dog from puppyhood to his frosty senior days. The care is different of course, diets and lifestyle routine slow down and more careful attention is needed. Love is another key, all animals are deserving of being treated with respect and kindness. That includes the animals in the forest, since I work outdoors I see a lot of birds and critters and each one’s life is valued and admired. Like my job, the environment of the pet is important. Keeping the food and water bowl clean, is something I find some families neglect but I find that to be a little disheartening as you would not like to drink out a dirty water glass Services offered * 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day * 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away * Basic House-Siting include staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles I currently work outdoors for Ice Age Trail Alliance, and unable to commit to the time for a long term companion, however I have just enough time to spoil and love on other people’s adorable pets :) Truly, the most important aspect of pet care is the establishing the safety and security of your pet. The initial meeting with your pet, getting familiar and making sure the pet feels like they can trust their caretaker is crucial. That establish trust between caretaker and pet, allows me to ensure the best case scenario for your pet. Whether it be, trusting you on a walk or worse case scenario luring your pet from under the bed or loosing the lead for a second. I offer comfort of house sitting or walking your pet to ensure their routine is uninterrupted. :)

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.

“Leanne was amazing! She watched our dog while we were on vacation out of the country. Everyday we received a few pictures and text messages about how he was doing. Charlie fell in love with her daughter and I think that bond helped him stay calm when we were away. I highly recommend Leanne for watching your animals! She did everything we asked of her and our little fur baby came home happy and excited to see us! He even whines when leaving Leanne’s house! Can’t wait to have her watch him again!”

“Bethany was a wonderful pet sitter for our 4 pets. It was very apparent from our first meeting that she is an animal lover and would take good care of our furry crew. She maintained good communication before, during and after our trip to make sure that everything we needed for the animals and the house was taken care of. We will definitely call on her again for our future trips and would absolutely recommend her to anyone that we know who might be searching for someone sweet and trustworthy to take care of things at home while they're away.”

“Amanda was great with my boy! She even arranged to come on short notice. The pictures and videos gave me no doubt my dog was having a good time. Ended up getting a nice spring snow storm and she went above and beyond to do some shoveling. Would highly recommend her for your fur babies!”

“Whitney did a great job watching our dog and cat this past weekend. Both pets were happy and the house was in great shape! I would highly recommend Whitney! -Jenni”
