Pet Sitting Mazomanie

“Cilyr was so good with our two dogs. We have to do slow introductions with our puppy, Scout, due to reactivity. Cilyr has experience with reactive dogs so that was so helpful!”

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I was little, between dogs, cats, reptiles, and even farm animals such as dairy cows, pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I can take care of pets at any time of day or night, and I can walk dogs after 4 pm. Tuesday & Thursday, I do have class from 7-10 am. I have a fence for my pets, we play with toys, and we go on walks (depending on the weather). My dog will sleep where she is most comfortable and she always goes to the bathroom on time.

About: I have four cats, two dogs, and eight chickens. I have cared for animals across the lifespan: basic obedience training, administering medications, and cleaning boxes, coops, and kennels. I have recently been working with our reactive border collie heeler mix and have learned a ton about dog behavior! I'm comfortable walking and caring for dogs of all walks of life. I work mostly from home and am able to walk dogs before, at lunch, and after work; check in on pets before/after work or throughout the day with enough notice. I'm off Fridays and weekends and available for any pet care needs. I have a dog that loves playing with other dogs, a large yard with a fence and the Black Earth creek, an outdoor kennel area.

“Sara is a great communicator, she sent pictures and updates on my puppies. She is great with animals and cares about them and has great attention to detail. My fur babies we’re very well cared for and she went above and beyond to make sure they were happy. I would highly recommend recommended Sara.”

About: I’ve grown up in a household that has always had at least two dogs, usually 3. We also have 3 indoor-outdoor cats. I am now a student at UW Madison, and I have a 5yr old heeler shepherd mix. Throughout her life I have trained her for obedience and herding, and have dealt with low confidence and reactivity with her daily. I am experienced with dogs who are shy and tend to be reactive. I have a part time internship at UW Madison, so I have partially and completely free days every week. That being said, I will have plenty of time to make house visits around this schedule. I have experience training dogs and love hanging out with any breed of dog. I believe dogs need both mental and physical stimulation in order to be fulfilled.

About: I use to work at a vet clinic with boarding and daycare. I know how to take care of dogs and entertain them. And of course cats aswell. I use to work part-time at the vet clinic. So I am available the days I don’t have work after school. During the summer time, I will be more available during the days/times. I will make sure they feel comfortable and let me smell me before I pet them. I will make sure they have food, water, and etc.

“Great communication and great with our Goldendoodle! Thanks Cali!!!”

About: I’ve worked at Feeder’s Supply, where I cared for a variety of animals and regularly bathed dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My experience there helped me build strong skills in animal handling and care. I’ve also owned many types of pets over the years and currently have two cats of my own. Whether it’s feeding, walking, bathing, or just giving them love and attention, I’m passionate about making sure every animal feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently spend most of my time caring for my daughter and cats, but am looking to share my love with other animals in need of care while their parents are busy! This can include regular services Monday to Saturday between 8:15 am and 4:45 pm; if you need something outside of this, message me and we’ll see what we can work out! For dogs, any equipment must be provided by you to ensure I am using leashes, toys, etc. that fit your pet and they are comfortable with. For cats, I can provide a cat harness or stroller to take them outside in a controlled environment for extra enrichment. I also have a set of cat toys to bring if needed.

“Carlie was awesome. So easy to coordinate with and my two dogs instantly loved her. Gave us updates all the time and made it completely stress free for us to go away for a few days. Have already recommended Carlie to our neighbors and friends. Thanks Carlie”

“Jordan took great care of our cats while we were away! She was super dependable and I didn’t have to worry about them at all. She must be a cat whisperer to get our shy cat to come out and play!”

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.

“Jorden and Savannah are excellent sitters! Responsive, flexible, clearly love animals, and Jorden takes excellent photos! Jorden went above and beyond when our dogs jumped our fence to (presumably) chase a deer (not at all his fault - this is a new trick the dogs learned shortly before we left for our trip, and we hadn’t further secured the fence yet, so shame on us). Jorden was excellent at keeping us updated while our dogs took their sweet time coming back, and even stuck around longer than we had booked waiting for them to come back. 10/10 would book with Jorden and Savannah again - he even said our dogs were so cute he’d forgive them.”

About: Pets bring us all kinds of joy and unconditional love. It's hard to relax on vacation or focus on an event with a piece of you missing . Be able to be present and ease your mind knowing another caring soul will show your pet the same love and attention they enjoy. I have 10 years of experience with all different breeds and sizes. I work remotely. My office is where the WIFI is the strongest. I have time to spend with animals. My children are grown leaving me with an abundance of free time Soft voices and lots of love and attention. Dogs I like to run and make sure that they have the exercise they need. Plenty of tug of war! Social cats I give lap time and bring a feather.

“Peyton pet sat our cat with care and professionalism. She sent us cute updates, and gave me confidence that our pet was doing well. I plan to hire her again, and I would recommend her to others as well!”

“Our cats LOVE Laura! Our cats have been known as the extremely timid types that people may be lucky enough to see. It's unheard of for them to be pet by people other than my husband and I. For this, it can take years to do. Laura was able to pet both of our cats this time around. That amazed me! We're very very grateful to have such a wonderful sitter for our precious kitties while we're away. She brought in our mail and watered our plants as well. We highly recommend Laura.”

About: I am a 19 years old and have grown up loving animals since day one. I am a very energetic person that absolutely loves to play with animals of all sorts. I am just as comfortable being outside with a Great Dane as I am being indoor with a five pound cat. I have a plethora of experience walking all sizes and breeds of dogs as well. I have no problem taking a leisure walk in the park or going for a run with dogs that want to try to keep up. I have been to multiple different dog training classes with my own dog. For dogs that are interested in staying at my house I have plenty of space in my home and in my yard to run around and have a blast. I am currently working part time and am available after 2 P.M. most days. I do not work on the weekends and I am free both days I am active and willing to walk and play with all sorts of pets indoors and outdoors. I enjoy playing with exercising all kinds of animals.

About: I’m a school counselor (on hiatus) stay at home mom. I take pride in providing peace of mind for people during their travel. I have 30+ years of experience pet sitting (starting when I was 8), with 15 of those years being professional dog handling when I used to help raise and train guide dogs for blind people. I have a friendly dog that loves to host guests. He adapts his play style to each dog; if they want to run around, he wants to be chased. If they don’t feel like playing, he will give space. Like many resident male dogs, he often feels uncomfortable with large breed adolescent males, particularly intact. I will make decisions on a case by case basis regarding adolescent males. I do require dogs be crated when unattended in my home for their safety and comfort. We can discuss your dog’s unique needs. Please be sure your animals are up to date on vaccinations and preventative meds (flea/tick and heartworm). What can I offer? I can board your dog (or pet!) at my home or do home visits. I’m experienced in smalls like cats, pocket pets, and birds. I have even cared for people’s hobby farms (horses, donkeys, goats, chickens, etc). I have a fenced yard. I’ve adopted 4 Rottweilers in the past with unique behavior issues and fostered many other breeds so I’m used to handling all types of dogs, including those who need a little time to settle in. I’m home during the day. Your dog becomes part of my “pack”, built around their comfort level. I have one pet dog, two small kids and two teen step daughters. Sometimes I have other boarded dogs but I’ll always confirm with both dogs’ families before I book an overlap. I won’t book a dog if they aren’t a good match for someone already booked. For home visits. My 2 littles tag along with me. Unless I can get my partner to take them after work hours. I put your pets needs as a priority, so if your pet isn’t fond of children, I won’t let my kids bug them. My home has backyard access with a fence (4 foot tall chain link and 6 foot tall privacy fence along the road side). If you don’t want your dog interacting with mine, I am experienced in keeping dogs separate and safe. I’ve boarded/raised over 100 dogs and I’ve never had any issues with dogs getting loose or scuffling. Sitting in your home: I can do the basics such as feeding and potty. I can take your dog for walks or play in your yard and spend some time with them in your home.

About: My pet-sitting experiences include looking after both cats and dogs day to day and for extended periods of time. When taking care of cats, I make sure they have clean water and food at all times; keep their environment clean; watch over them and see if they are healthy; and interact with them by playing with them on a daily basis. I also have experience caring for dogs of various sizes and energy levels. Making sure their fed, walked, groomed, and cleaning up any messes/ their environment. In addition always making sure they have access to clean drinking water and providing plenty of playtime and attention. I occasionally take care of a family friend’s dog who has arthritis. I help keep her comfortable through gentle massages, giving her medication as directed, and hand-feeding her when necessary. In doing so, I learned to be patient and attentive in caring for an animal's individual needs. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals. I always go the extra mile into taking good care of animals, ensuring their safety, and comfort in the absence of their owners. I treat every pet as if they were my own and doing everything I can to ensure their happiness. I am extremely flexible with regards to my schedule, and can be available for the most part of the day. I wake up early, so feeding and taking the animals for walk won't be a problem at all. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I value their safety, trust, and maintaining a calm and familiar environment for their pet. It is important for me to carefully follow all the instructions concerning their feeding schedule, treatment, taking medication, and other specific care. It goes without saying that I make sure that the pets receive proper meals and have clean water to drink. I also try to keep the house as clean as possible, including litter boxes for cats and any messes that may occur. I also observe the pets to ensure everything seems normal and they’re healthy. I believe that building trust with both pets and owners is essential, I’ll always provide them with updates and photographs about the current condition of the pets. My goal is to make sure their pet is cared for and mostly importantly happy.

“Donna did ann excellent job watching our two kitties for a week while we were away. She is super communicative and sends photos from each visit. We had peace of mind while on vacation knowing Donna was taking care of our fur babies!”

“Alliyah watched our 15 y/o dog for 12 days while we were on spring break. She was easy to schedule with and communicative. Georgie seemed to really enjoy her visits and we recommend her!”
