âSyd was absolutely phenomenal with our 2 dogs. One is very energetic and walks well on-leash, the other is older and just loves-love. Myself and both pups were very happy with her services.â

âOur dog had a seizure in his kennel before Nicole arrived for her visit. Nicole immediately let us know and did a great job of cleaning up. She was able to extend her stay to make sure our dog was OK before she left. This was very comforting to our dog and ourselves.â


âAshley was great, she made our vacation stress free and went above and beyond for our Abby. She was able to give her her medicine (even though sheâs stubborn and hates taking medicine) and lots of loving!â

âHaley was superb as a pet visitor. She arrived everyday at the appropriate time as requested by us. Took photos of our beloved kitty and fed and looked after Mary, our semi-feral cat. It's amazing she was able to get the photos since Mary is so skittish, but she did and we loved seeing them while we were away. Haley was as nice in person as she was responsible and punctual. We highly recommend her and hope she is available next time we need a pet visitor!â
âreliable and was communicative about scheduling changes. fulfilled my expectations/requests and somehow even managed to sneak a photo of my socially anxious cat that rarely comes out from the under the couch for strangers.â

About: I have a strong attention to detail and an even stronger passion for animals. I'm comfortable with all breeds. I've learned a lot about dog training and dog reactivity in the last 3 years with my own dog. I'm willing to take special requests to care for your furry friend better than you could imagine! I have a 3 year old German Shepherd that I care for daily with mental stimulation, physical exercise, and lots of love. I am currently available evenings and weekends to care for your furry friends! I like to lead with respect and integrity and treat your space with the privacy and respect it deserves. I'm looking to build a future working with animals, and I'd be grateful for the opportunity to care for your beloved pets.
About: My family has owned pets since before I was born. I have owned my own animals since I was 18. I currently have an adorable rescue dog and recently lost my 12 year old kitty. Both of my animals have struggled with medical needs so I have experience giving medical cares. My dog, Olive, and I love going on daily walks together! I often provide care to my parents and friendsâ pets when they are away. I work in Marshfield and my schedule will be Monday - Friday 7am - 5pm. I am open to early morning or late night walks. I have a large yard although it is not fenced. My own dog uses a dog lead when going potty or spending time outside. My dog, Olive, loves company and is great around other animals. I have a deep connection with animals and care for them greatly.
About: ****Our family is growing June 2026. We will be taking a pause from watching our four-legged friends starting in June '26 and expect to resume services in September '26. May '26 bookings may be possible, and we will start considering bookings for September and beyond starting in August**** Together we both have extensive experience with dogs of all ages and types. We have experience raising puppies, including those being raised to be future service dogs. Additionally, we have experience working with special needs dogs that are blind or require daily insulin treatment. We currently have two dogs, a 5 year old black lab and a 2 year old golden retriever. Both are highly socialized and get along well with dogs of all sizes/personalities. Ochai is well-known at the Rib Mountain dog park as being one of the sweetest dogs to people and dogs alike. We both volunteer our time at the Humane Society of Marathon County. Furthering our experiences with dogs of many backgrounds and temperaments. You may see a featured adoptable dog that is currently at the shelter in our photos. This dog is one we personally think may be a great addition to a family, especially one that already has a dog! Sometimes we send our dogs to daycare so we can open up our home to a shelter dog for the day and give them the relaxing day they deserve so much. Of course, on the days we do this, we aren't available to offer daycare/boarding. If you have a HSMC graduate pup from May 2023 onward we would love to see our old friends again! Please let us know and we will offer a free day of boarding or daycare as a token of appreciation for adopting a HSMC pup! When we confirm a booking you should know that at least one of us will likely be with your dog at all times, day or night. We both work from home quite often and before confirming a reservation we will check/adjust our schedules to make sure someone is going to be home during the day. It is important to your pup's experience and safety that someone is watching them at all times. NEW! Tractive GPS Tracking The safety and wellbeing of your dog is always important to us and we know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet behind. That is why we have added a GPS tracker to utilize. Not only will your furry loved one's location always be known at any given second, but we can also track their health to make sure they are doing well during their stay. -We currently only have one device, so it is not a guarantee your dog will be utilizing it during their stay. If you would like to guarantee it for your pup during their stay, we can accommodate these types of requests at the time of booking for $5/night or $25/stay. -We can share access to the tracker so you can know your pups location at any time and can check in on their health. It will show various information like their sleep activity and exercise information. This is only available if you reserve the tracker ahead of their stay. ---NEW! We are now privately insured outside of Rover. This allows additional and even more comprehensive coverage for your pup while they stay with us. Through PSA we are able to offer up to $2,500 in deductible free veterinary care if your pup gets hurt/ill.--- Our house features a spacious half acre yard that is fully fenced in. You will get plenty of pictures and updates of your pup under our care. Please let us know the frequency of pictures/updates you would like and we will be happy to show you how your pup is doing. If the weather is nice, I will try to get outside and take some pictures with an actual camera for you to enjoy. Our goal is to provide quality care and take care of your pup just as much as we do our own. We love helping people and having them know their pup is being well cared for when you can't be with them.
âStephanie was absolutely wonderful! She was caring and a fabulous sitter! I completely trusted her within our home. She did everything we asked and sent us daily pictures. I would definitely hire her again!!!!!â

âLindsey was awesome once again! Our dog Ellie was being a little shy/timid this time but Lindsey sent us updates along the way and seemed to have won Ellie over by the end of the stay.â

About: I live in the country so can go for long walks, swim in pond . . Will be treated as part of the family and spoiled rotten. Right now Iâm still working during the week. Iâm looking more at weekends. I can do during the week if your comfortable them being home alone for 6 hours a day. I have a lot of open area , I also have a very friendly dog that loves to have a playmate or just someone to share his treats with. He is very gentle with puppies and older laid back dogs.
About: We've been taking care of select dogs for many years for friends and family, knowing that dog owners tend to worry about their pets when they're away and want someone who understands that and will care for their pets as they would. we've always had dogs until recently, I also photograph dogs for fun. We often board a dog who has seizures and requires medication and have watched other unusual dogs including puppies and dogs still healing from surgery. For many years we volunteered at the local humane society. We have a fenced in yard that our late beagle mix of 18 years regularly tried to escape and repeatedly failed. Dogs in our home are considered guests and are treated as such. I currently work from home, so letting dogs out regularly and giving regular attention is no problem at all. I'm done with work in the afternoon which leaves me plenty of time to get dogs out for exercise and socializing. Dorothy, my wife, also has plenty of daytime open for play time and extra loving. I work from home and regularly take play breaks, Dorothy, my wife is home most days and offers lots of love. We try to get to the dog park now and then on the weekends. We have a modest fenced in back yard with a wooded lot behind us, I walk dogs regularly in several areas. We keep also keep a toybox full of dog toys :-)

About: I've grown up with every kind of pet imaginable, and post-college I have owned my 2 dogs (Bella & Wes), cat (Binx), and house trained rabbit (Norbert). My animals are considered geriatric, so I am well versed in caring for pets with medication needs and requiring some extra love, patience, and attention. I regularly care for the pets of family and friends when they go out of town; including feeding, med administration, bathing & brushing, walking & exercise. I am a healthcare professional with a flexible schedule, so have a wide range of availability. I can stop by to care for your pet as you and your pet require. For housesitting, I am available all day, overnight, and/or for drop-ins. If the midday hours you want a pet walk or drop-ins don't show as available just message me and I might be able to accommodate. I am super flexible and would work with you to discuss a care plan specific to your pet's needs and your requirements. You just let me know how I can help!
About: I am very playful with pets, they will have my full attention. They will get all the kisses and hugs they want. I will treat each pet as if they were my own. I am a very responsible person and if given the change you will see that. I just moved the Baltimore area and would like the opportunity to put my service to use and be the best furbaby babysitter of all time. Please allow for me to have the opportunity to show you how responsible, kind, and compassionate I can be with your pet. You will be able to get into contact with me whenever you need reassurance that your furbaby is doing well and is happy. Everyone is welcomed in my home I am available as needed I work from home so I am able to attended to all pet needs.
