House Sitting in Marblehead

“Abby was excellent with our dogs, treating them as her own. She sent pictures and videos every day along with updates. We highly recommend Abby, she truly cares about animals and it shows!”

About: I grew up having dogs around and they are my favorite animal! My family has been fortunate to adopt 3 dogs, so far, in my life: a Black Lab-Dachshund, a Bassett Hound, and an Australian Cattle Dog; all very different dogs! I also have the experience of watching family & friends animals over the years! Having been around so many different types of dogs has taught me how many different behaviors and reactions they have depending on the environment or people it is/has been surrounded by. At the end of last year I got married and moved to Fond du Lac and have been looking at some part time work. I am very flexible with scheduling right now! I will ensure your pets comfort, safety, and well-being by learning their daily schedules and rules by their owners. I understand that comfort, safety, and trust comes in three parts, the owner, the pet, and myself; and will respect all parties.

“Hannah did great with our boys! It’s always a lot to trust someone with your fur babies and your home, but she made it easy. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats all my life, and have been pet sitting for others pets since I was around 10. Wether it was letting the neighbor dog outside, feeding their pet lizard, scooping the litter boxes, etc. I play travel softball, and I will have 3 tournaments left this summer. My practices are 5-7 on Wednesdays. I work on weekdays from 12-5, and occasionally 8-5. I have a fenced in yard, with a yellow lab to keep your pup company! He is 11 years old-but still has the energy of a 2 year old. I have a 6 year old cat, but she usually stays away from other dogs. I love animals, and always treat them with kindness and respect. I would love to care for any type of animal!

“Emalia was so communicative the whole time. She consistently checked in and sent photos so I was never worried about him. She seems to care so much and I’m so grateful she was able to take such great care of my pup!”

“Rachel was amazing. Great communication throughout the whole process. We hesitate leaving our sweet, old boy alone but had no qualms after meeting Rachel. Would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 8 years old. It has always been a passion of mine. I would always walk the neighbors dog’s and my family always relied on me to take care of their animals . I absolutely love animals. I am a volunteer at the local Rescue Group. I occasionally foster dogs that come from New Mexico that were going to be euthanized for space. I am a dog owner that will love your pets like my own. I have been a owner and dog sitter for years. I am flexible and available to customize to your dogs needs. I offer long walks, feedings, and lots of love and company. My dogs Hudson and Sadie are my pride and joy. I spend a lot of time outside with them and inside enrichment toys and puzzles. Sadie is a Blue Heeler and she needs lots of mental stimulation. I also have a kitten named Oreo who thinks he is a dog. I work from home so I am home 90% of the time. Please feel free to message me and we can talk about your dogs needs. I can send you pictures throughout the stay if you would like as well. I am home 80% of the time. It is something I am passionate about and love. I also run a small business from home so never worry about your fur babies being alone. I have three dogs of my own so adding a few more to my daily routine makes it just a little more fun. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I have two of my own dogs to keep your animals active and playing. I do prefer the dog to be crated at night for their safety. I have an alarm system as well as outside video surveillance.

“She was absolutely incredible with our fur babies. Nya our Rottweiler was so good for her and she responded fast when I asked how things were going. I would definitely be booking with Katie again… thank you so much.”

About: I've had three black labs in my life, who have turned me into a dog obsessed human! When I attend social gatherings, I am usually found hanging out with the dog giving it some loving attention. When I was younger I walked my neighbors' dogs. One of these dogs was deaf and I learned different ways to communicate with him. I am friendly and compassionate and will provide your pet with warmth and snuggles while you are away! I work full time during the week, but evenings and most weekends I'm free to care for dogs. Whether your pup is looking for a quick walk, a mozy around the neighborhood, an active, engaging play session, or an overnighter- I will, with the occasional help of my labrador, Bella along with our dog friend, Frankie, make sure to keep your pup happy and occupied. I have a fenced in yard, a couple of friendly dogs of my own, and can crate your pup with their own crate, so please provide if crating is preferred. I prefer a meet and greet to ensure a good fit for your pup. That would look different depending on the service. Dog walking and House Sitting: I will meet you and your fur friend at your home - this will help establish trust and familiarity for the dog while you are there. At this point we can go over the safest entry into your home, routines for your pup, and any specific care requirements. Doggy Day Care and Boarding: You will meet at my home. Where I will bring my two dogs out to meet you and your pup (everybody leashed) and we can talk and sniff and ensure initial vibes are correct for everybody's safety. When we confirm that the dogs are showing no signs of threat/discomfort, we can move everybody into the gated area of our yard and let your dog off leash. We have lots of smells and space to roam about, so this should be an exciting little adventure for your friend. At this point you can share any specific care instructions and routines important to your dog's happiness.

“Tarah was amazing with our quirky doggo. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Tarah provided updates and loved on our pup while we were away for a family getaway. Upon returning home, we could tell puppers was anxiety free and our home was in excellent order. 1000% would use Tarah again.”

About: I've taken care of animals my entire life. I've always had dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, you name it! I have been picking up gigs dog/cat sitting since I was 12. My family, friends, and neighbors have had my help and continue to use me as their first option when help is needed! I'd love to get to know your furry friend :) I currently work part-time from 5pm-10pm Monday thru Friday for the summer, so I am available to spend the morning and midday's playing, feeding, walking, and watching your pet! I have 2 dogs (large and small) and 4 cats of my own. With this, I won't offer in home care due to the stress this can cause your pet. However, I am comfortable with leashing, caging, giving meds, scooping liter pans, and all other responsibilities that come with pet care!

“Courtney was very sweet and responded quickly to messages. There was a misunderstanding with her work schedule that she would not be in the home for 11 hours. I assumed she would come at lunch to let them out. Never assume - had to call neighbor to let dogs out 2 days as I did not want my dogs left that long without a potty break. Otherwise, all was good.”

Cindy L.

“We had Bryanna stay at our house to watch our puppy for a few days. She did come by to meet us and Luna ahead of time to get to know Luna and her schedule. Bryanna did a great job with our puppy Luna. She communicated back and forth as well so we were able to know how things were going while we were away.”

About: Hello! I study Vet Science at UW Madison and have extensive experience in both dog and cat humane societies, kennels, and have had dogs my whole life and cats for 3 years now. My dogs Jojo and Jagger are very energetic, and Indy is my tortie and the love of my life :) I tend to work weekends at my families business but can change my availability based on how familiar I get with your pet(s). I am always available to talk and will respond quickly to messages!

My priority is making them feel as at home as possible, while earning experience in the field I love.

Tell me more about your pet to help me help them be as comfortable as they can be!

“Great experience! My very timid pup seemed very at ease and comfortable upon return. Will definitely hire Cheri again for pet sitting! Thanks Cheri!”

About: My family has had a dog since I was younger and I currently have a mini goldendoodle. I understand how keeping dogs happy and cared for is vital to ‘owners.’ I have a very flexible and open schedule! I like to take my own dog for longer walks to get energy out and relax our minds together. I love playing with them so they’re not just sitting around unhappy. It’s important to me to make sure all of their needs are met as I believe this affects longevity and overall well-being.

About: Hi I’m Lauren! I am excited to help some families out and give them peace of mind with caring for their fur-babies!! I can’t wait! I am currently working as a nanny! This would be great for me as my schedule gives me free time in the mornings and evenings! I have plenty of time to play, feed, and spend some time with your fur-babies!! I am able to care for your pets as needed! If that’s walks, play time, or just a potty break during the day, I’m your girl!

“Amanda did an outstanding job taking care of our cats and home while we were away. She has amazing attention to detail, and always gave us plenty of updates and pics so we felt connected to our pets. She is very kind, responsible, and professional. We highly recommend Amanda!”
