About: Hi! I'm Brook Gassman, a 24-year-old school psychologist at JYMS in Baraboo, and I'm passionate about providing loving care for all kinds of pets. Growing up with both cats and dogs, I developed a deep love for animals of all shapes and sizes. Currently, I own a sweet cat named Elby and am in the process of finding the perfect dog to add to my family. I've had years of experience caring for pets, from playful puppies to calm senior cats. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or providing companionship, I’m dedicated to ensuring your pet receives the best care possible. I understand the importance of trust and routine for animals, and I’m committed to giving each pet the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I look forward to helping you take care of your furry friends! I work full-time at the middle school in Baraboo, so my regular availability is between 6-7 AM and 3-9 PM. However, I'm flexible and can arrange to stop by outside of these hours if needed. I will care for your pet in your home according to your specific preferences and routine. My goal is to ensure a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet, and I’ll work closely with you to meet all of your pet’s needs.

About: Conveniently located 7 minutes from Wisconsin Dells (the map is not accurate), in the country on a few acres with a large fenced in area! I love taking care of pups in my home just as one of my own furry family members. I have a degree as a vet tech and in canine obedience and behavior! I have been boarding dogs in my home and pet sitting for over 25 years. I also ran a wonderful dog rescue for almost ten years giving me a wide variety of experience with many situations and behaviors. I love being able to help people with knowing their pup is in the best of care so you can enjoy your Vacation or not add more stress in a time of sorrow or whatever the situation may be that brings you to needing dog sitting! I also own my own business doing interior painting so have a very flexible schedule. I love being able to be flexible for you and for your pup I have a fenced in yard, can separate and/crate dogs as needed. I do offer for them to sleep with me at night and be spoiled. I will take them for rides, hikes, to the store all if applicable!

“Kimberly did an awesome job with my two senior cats. Zeke didn’t lose any weight while I was gone and Willie was spoiled with frequent walks on his leash to the point that I probably can’t live up to his new expectations 🙄. Will definitely use Kimberly again.”

“This was our first time hiring someone other than a friend or family member to watch our two cats while we were out of town, and we were a little nervous. After meeting with Nandita, we knew we had nothing to worry about. She was communicative and competent throughout the process of checking in on and caring for them. Nandita went above and beyond to make sure they were doing well while we were away, she even scooped the litter box without us asking. She sent us plenty of pictures as well which made us happy :) We would hire her again anytime!”


“Kayla was amazing! She was incredibly communicative and so easy to work with. Our Louie enjoyed all the attention and love while we were gone! I would highly recommend Kayla for any pet sitting needs!”
