He did a great job taking care of my two cats. Very punctual and great at communicating. Went above and beyond for me even sweeping the floor towards the end without my asking. 10/10, would book again.

About: I have three dogs of my own and I love meeting and caring for new pets. I have experience dog sitting from puppies to senior dogs. I work during the week but evenings and weekends are usually free to care for pets. Flexible schedule allows me to leave and let pets out and care for them as needed. Due to having dogs if my own I prefer to pet sit at the client’s home to ensure their pet’s utmost safety and comfortability. I always follow all instructions left by owners and make sure their pet has a great experience while their owners are gone.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. whether it’s a senior pup who needs meds and slow strolls or a hyper goofball who loves to fetch for hours. I treat every dog like my own: with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs. What sets me apart? I pay attention to the little things like quirky habits, favorite nap spots, or that weird way your dog likes their toy thrown. I’m reliable, quick to communicate, and genuinely love hanging out with dogs (sometimes more than people, if we’re being honest). Whether it’s a quick walk or a weekend stay, your pup will get 100% of my care and attention. I am a PhD student at USM. I’m currently teaching and taking classes online for the summer so I have a lot of free time and flexibility. Once school starts I’ll still be pretty flexible When I care for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walk routines, or favorite toys and I make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and heard (yes, I talk to them like they’re people). I treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine: clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I also provide regular updates so you always know your pup is happy and in good hands. Your dog gets my full attention, every visit.

She was awesome! We left to visit family for a week and a half and she was amazing at keeping me informed of her visits. She even went to look for my Kali when she didn't come out of hiding just to make sure she was ok. Even with a hiccup in scheduling she found a solution that worked for everyone without us needing to ask. She was even willing to grab our mail for us while we were gone. Just over all an amazing sweetheart. If we go out of town in the future I would whole heartedly request her services again!

About: Hi there. I’m Zack. I have always had a passion for animals, along with our family having our own. I have been dog walking/house-sitting for 5 years now, and let me just say, it’s one of the best jobs in the world for someone who has a deep attachment to animals. They are part of our lives from the day they come home. You can always rely on me giving them all the care and love they need, and anything you request or need additionally for their wellbeing, don’t ever hesitate to ask twice. I started off caring for animals after a dear friend recommended me to a very sweet couple in need of this. They worked full time jobs and needed a dog walker 5 days a week. I started doing that and from there, built up my clientele. It’s just amazing to be able to work with these dear furry friends. I’m always there for them and you. Thank you.

About: I have great experience with dogs, I have one on my own and I understand the unconditional love that is shared between them. I would love to watch your furbaby! I’m currently in season for ULM basketball but check in with me for availability! As I mentioned I have a dog on my own so I can make time. I don’t have a fenced yard but, I have play areas where I can take your furbaby and we can have a great time. I have 2yr old Long-haired German Shepherd that is a friendly butterfly and play so well with other dogs, if your dog doesn’t get along with other dogs I can have mines put up at my neighbors home.

About: I have the sweetest rescue pitbull who i found two years ago on the side of the highway after she got hit by a car. Poor baby was all skin and bones, had been starved and abused, and only could walk on 3 legs. Now, she’s gained 25 pounds, got fixed and vaccinated, and can walk on all legs. Now she’s my emotional support animal! She’s a total sweetheart and my best friend- even cuddles me to sleep every night :) I have actually been able to teach her how to sit, shake, and stay! Growing up my family had 4 dogs and 4 cats all of my life, so I was responsible for walking, feeding, cleaning up messes, and playing with them! I’m an online college student so i can be very flexible when it comes to scheduling and daily/weekly routines. i also have a great dog park at my complex When I am in someone’s house while pet sitting, I treat every home like it has security cameras. I’m very respectful of boundaries and safety. After feeding/walking/playing, I tidy up anything left out or any other messes. I am very friendly and have never had an animal react badly towards me.

About: Animals are genuinely my passion, hence why I’m going to school to work with them full time; I used to want to be a Veterinarian, but my life path has since changed because of my internship at the NEW Zoo in Green Bay. I've always had a soft spot for dogs and furry creatures of all sorts, but growing up outside I fell in love the scaly, slimy, and six legged friends as well. I had a few reptiles growing up and currently own a mildly venomous snake, so I thought a Zookeeper might be more my path; working with exotic animals is definitely my dream! I just graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Animal Science with a companion animal emphasis, meaning the pets we have in our homes is what I specialize in! I worked on and off at a dog day care in De Pere, WI for three years, along with personally owning small breeds to extra-large breeds, I believe I'm quite knowledgeable in the pet world! My roommate's and cousin's dogs know me as the "toy person" because I'm always there to have a good time. I also have and adore cats, along with any pet for that matter! Animals are what makes MY world go round and I don’t know where I’d be without them, I love all animals! The job market is insane right now, and no matter how many jobs I apply to they always find someone else to fill the position or never respond in the first place, so my schedule is WIDE OPEN! Whatever you need me to do I will! I love being outside, so walks, the dog park, just hanging out or even hiking can all be accomplished. I’m trained in nail trimming (including cats and larger rodents) and any basic grooming needs, like baths and teeth brushing, so I can do those as well! I love to just play with animals, so give me a dog or cat toy and I’ll sit in the floor with them for hours. And whatever schedule you feed/ have bathroom breaks/ walk your animals on I can guarantee I will stick to that schedule!

Emily would be a wonderful addition to your pet caregiver company! She took care of our sweet Champ every time we were out of town. We are very last minute people and she was always flexible and willing to put Champ on her schedule priority. One think I loved about Emily taking care of Champ is that she took time to play with him. He had some anxiety and she was always sweet to him. Another example of her love for animals is that I called her in a panic one evening, very late to help me with Champ. My husband was out of town and champ had a seizure. He was bleeding from his mouth and I couldn’t hold him and look in his mouth at the same time. She came right over and not only calmly helped him, she was so reassuring to me! I hope you consider adding Emily to your employment team! She is kind, dependable, flexible and has a heart for pets!

Chloe has had a loving connection to animals her entire life with her first dog being a pit Bull. Chloe is currently attending college in the Pre-Veterinary program to fulfill the dream she had had since 5 years old to become a Veterinarian. Chloe has cared for her own pets through her life including: 3 dogs, 2 cats, 1 bird, 2 Guinea pigs, 2 hamsters, 2 geckos, and many fish. She also worked at Sit & Stay Pet Resort while in high school which she loved. In my opinion Chloe knows more about animals than most people because she does her research on each pet before she decides to add them to her home. She is a 4.0 student studying to be a Vet because animals are her passion. Chloe would make an incredible Rover team member!! Thank you.
