Pet Sitting in Merrill

“Christina was so great with our pup! She took great care of him and sent updates and photos everyday. She even went above and beyond and took him for walks and brought toys for him to try out. Thank you Christina!”

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 :-)

“reliable 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.”

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and have also cared for dogs throughout different parts of my life, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities—from playful and energetic to shy and independent. Animals have always been a huge part of my world, and I truly love giving them the attention, patience, and care they deserve. 🐾 I currently work full time with a set schedule of Mon 7:45-5, Tues 7:45-5, Wed 6:45-5, Thurs 6:45-5, and Fri 7:45-noon. I would be available whenever I am not working. I would even be willing to visit some furry friends on my lunch breaks, as they are an hour long. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is my top priority with every pet I care for. I take the time to move at their pace, learn their routines, and respect their boundaries so they feel secure and comfortable. Whether it’s double-checking doors and leashes, following feeding instructions exactly, or offering gentle reassurance to nervous pets, I’m always attentive and mindful. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. 🐾💛

“Katie is absolutely amazing! We have never used a pet sitter before and were nervous to find someone that we could trust. We could not have hoped for a more thoughtful, considerate, loving person to watch our cat, Jellyfish. She cared for her so well we were nervous Jelly would want to leave us for her. Lol! We are already planning to work with her again. She is worth every penny!”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience pet sitting for friends, family and clients. I have cared for pets of all ages and sizes. My experience includes, my own pets my whole life including puppies, daily walks, feeding schedules, medications, playtime and overnight care. I will provide regular updates with photos and I am attentive to pets routines, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while owners are away. I work full time from 8am-5pm but have the ability to take breaks for drop in visits. I am more than happy to work around this schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a playful and friendly mini dachshund of my own to keep your dog company while you are away. I understand dogs needs and will make sure my home or yours is a safe and loving environment for them.

“Thank you so much for taking care of my Othello! I could tell he had been well cared for when we came home. I also appreciated the additional photos and the fact that he let you pet him means he must have really trusted you! I hope to be able to book again with you!”
