“Our first time with Jenell was perfect! We had some last minute changes of plan and she was so flexible. Our dogs were completely happy when we got home and it was nice to not have to take them to a boarding facility. We will definitely use Jenell again!”
“We loved Bethany! She took such great care of our shy kitty. She made him adorable art with his cat tubes and wrote the cutest reports. We love Bethany so much we are using her again in a week.”
“Cilyr was attentive to the needs of my cats, willing to clean up after them more than I had asked, and careful not to stress them out more than needed. Sge also made a clear attempt to play and interact with each. Overall very effective, even if my cats were too shy to engage much.”
“Emily was great! She came 3 times throughout the day to let Oscar - our 4 month old puppy- out and give him some play and cuddles. She also updated us as we requested. We're excited to use her services again!”
“My African Grey parrots were thankful for Becky’s company and seemed to enjoy her. We were grateful for her willingness to, not only care for our birds, but she also watered the garden for us!”
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.
“Carlie was excellent! In the time between booking and her looking in on our pets we acquired a cat and Carlie was happy to look after him as well. Our pets were healthy and happy when we returned! We will definitely use Carlie again.”
About: Ever since I was a baby, I’ve always had a pup in my family. I love dogs all shapes, sizes and ages. I have done walking, drop in visits, and house sitting for long trips. I currently have a one year old girl at home; my sweet and goofy Mabel. I’ll love your pup as I love my own! I’m now working part-time, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I am most available during the afternoons and evenings the weekdays. Weekends are possible if needed. I am open to whatever your pet needs! If they need feeding, walking, or just some spoiling of treats and love, I am more than happy to provide.
“Heather was fantastic!! We have three elderly pets-two dogs and a cat. Heather administered medication and spent time with them so they weren’t lonely. They loved her and we enjoyed seeing the photos she sent us of them. We will be reaching out to Heather every time we need someone to drop in for our babies. Thank you so much Heather for giving us the ease of mind to have fun while we were away from home!!”

Every time Obi-Wan sees them, their tail starts wagging like crazy—it’s clear how much they enjoy their walks together. Jim goes above and beyond, giving my pup the exercise they need and the love they deserve. They even send the sweetest updates and photos during the walk, so I know my fur baby is in great hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own and provide professional, top-notch care, look no further. Highly recommend! 🐾”

Bethany J.
“Bethany had been caring for our 4 legged family members for 2 years now. We have 3 dogs, all with special needs. One dog is elderly with seizures, one dog is a hunting dog & needs running time and the last dog is a puppy (need I say more). Bethany’s care and compassion for our pets is above & beyond. When we return home from a long day at work or a weekend away, it is evident that our dogs have been well cared for. We HIGHLY recommend Bethany!”
