House Sitting in Morton Corner

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, which led me to study veterinary technology at the University of Wisconsin River Falls. In recent years, I’ve worked full-time in both primary and emergency veterinary clinics, gaining hands on experience in roles ranging from receptionist to veterinary assistant. This background has given me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’m comfortable working with all types of dogs whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and anxious, stubborn, or even reactive. I also have experience handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, including those who need extra patience and care. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, while also reassuring you that your family member is safe and healthy. Pet care fits well into my routine as a full-time student at the University of Wisconsin–River Falls with a flexible schedule. During the school year, I’m mostly available afternoons and evenings, and after mid-May I’ll be more open, with a part-time job that varies week to week. I have reliable transportation and am open to overnight care, with occasional early mornings if needed. I prefer advance notice but will do my best to accommodate last minute requests. I tailor my time with each pet based on their needs to make sure they feel comfortable and fully cared for. I believe that care should be based of each pet or families needs. I plan to try and keep the pets routine as similar to what they have now as possible. I don’t want them to be confused. I would prefer to go based off the pets needs. Whether walking for 30 mins or giving medications and snuggling. I am willing to even take your canine to a dog park of choice as long as I had selected papers for vaccine information.

“Shylina was so sweet with our June who is a little anxious- she was calm with Shylina right from the first meet and greet! The house was just as we left it. We got lots of photos of a happy June, too! Thank you so much Shylina. We will be calling on you again!”

I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday on morning shifts. I also have a second job which is Tuesday and Fridays but I’m available after 5 PM on Wednesday and Thursdays, and I’m available anytime on weekends! When doing a drop in visit or even walking your dogs i will make sure they are my number one priority as well as respecting your home and your private space. home is a comfort place and I would never want to ruin that for you! I can do whatever you need for the animal and make sure to do it as efficently as I can! Routines are also very important to me and I can adhere to any you may have!

About: Although I have minimal experience with pet care, I’ve been around animals my entire life. I’ve grown up with multiple dogs and cats in the house. I absolutely love pets and take pride in the patience and gentleness that I’ve been blessed with. I always show the absolute most love that I can to pets. I’ve also lived on farms for the majority of my life with animals like cows, horses, chickens, and even donkeys. All being said, I love animals and will give nothing but that love to yours! I currently work part time, giving me plenty of time to spend time with your pets and give them the attention they need. I live in town and work In the area, making for easy transportation to your house when needed. This doesn’t stop me however from traveling further out if you live further away! Every where I go, I go with the mindset of leaving it better than I left it. I am careful with my surroundings, and always make certain to keep everyone out of danger and trouble.

“Rory took great care of the dogs, other pets and the house. He communicated quickly with any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Rory.”

“Kallyn is a consummate professional and fantastic at what she does! This was our first time booking with Kallyn and I think we’ve found our forever pet and house sitter. From our initial consult, where she came to our home and spent over an hour getting to know our dogs (I was impressed with the questions she asked from medical needs to our dog’s preferences), to the numerous photos and updates throughout her stay, you can tell she cares deeply about each animal and it was evident our pups enjoyed every minute with her. The peace of mind that provided me was worth every penny and then some.”

About: Hello Pet People! Pets and their people have always been happy with my patience, clear communication, and cleanliness. In the past year I have done 6 extended stay sits with 5 dogs and 4 cats, including elderly and rescue animals. I have administered medication and worked with both on-leash and off-leash or fenced-in exercise routines. I am confident that I can maintain a comfortable setting for your furry friends! I have been the grateful owner of two housecats in the past: Holly and Mr. Kitty. Holly has passed and Mr. Kitty has moved to the family farm where he can play outside more. I grew up on a Wisconsin dairy farm with two female rescue dogs, a black lab and a beagle mix. In addition, there was a large family of barn cats. We were all very close and I've always had a deep and healthy connection with animals. Since the dogs stayed primarily outside the house, I have cared for pets in typical urban/town setting to gain more experience via Trustedhousitters - please see testimonials! (My teenage son, shown in a few of my photos, accompanied me on some of the sits, but he doesn't come along anymore now that he is grown.) I work online as an English tutor with a global company called Preply. I usually have about 3 contact hours per weekday, which gives me plenty of time to enjoy and care for your pets. If the internet in your home is stable, that's all I need. As an experienced housesitter and responsible, mature adult, I will be respectful of your home and belongings and safely handle whatever may come up in addition to the usual pet care, mail and security precautions. Regarding cleanliness, I'm not squeamish and I do what needs to be done. When you return home, everything will be just as you left it or cleaner. Also, I have a green thumb, so no plant will wilt on my watch.

“Natasha is the absolute best! Provided great care for my cats! She took time to play and keep them busy, followed my care instructions perfectly, and provided frequent updates so I could know they were doing well. Couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!”

“Jadynn persevered when our frightened dog struggled in the beginning of our time away. She was kind, gentle, and understanding of Callie's timid nature.”

Kerry H.

“Sophia did an amazing job taking care of our dogs, Prince and Caddis! Our house was spotless upon our return and our babies were so relaxed and well taken care of. Would love to have Sophia back again.”

“Attentive to our pets, took lots of pictures and gave us updates. Took care of an early Minnesota snow fall for us and was great with the animals.”

Brent & Casey W.

“Calcifer was great with our senior dog who has some extra needs. He was very kind, caring and you can tell he loves animals. He was also great at communication, always letting us know how our dog was doing and when he was coming/going.”

Natalie S.

“We had a wonderful experience Hailey! She stayed at her home while we were away and was incredibly kind, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire time. She sent the sweetest pictures of her snuggling with our dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the pictures that our dogs felt comfortable and were well cared for, not just fed and let out, but actually loved. She went above and beyond by cleaning their ears, and even trimming their nails, which we really appreciated. She also kept our house clean. We felt completely at ease being away, knowing our dogs were safe and happy. She even left us an adorable note with a drawing of our dogs. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

About: Hey, my name is Summer. I’m double majoring at UW River falls to become a vet tech and major in animal science. I’ve worked at a boarding and training facility for 9 years of all animals horses, dogs, cats. I’ve also was an assistant at a vet clinic so I have tons of hands on experience. I currently also work at a training facility in River falls called Crystal Clear Canine Training. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and know what it’s like to leave animals in other people’s care, you only want the best. Like I said above I currently work at a training facility throughout the week but always get a lunch break so I am able to stop in if need be. I’m completely free Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I follow feeding, walking, and care instructions precisely while providing regular updates with photos and notes on the pet’s well-being. Cleanliness and safety are always a focus, ensuring food and water bowls are fresh, litter boxes are maintained, and the home stays tidy. My experience in animal training allows me to reinforce positive behaviors and help manage any stress or anxiety the pet may experience in their owner’s absence. Having worked in the veterinary and training fields for years, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I strive to provide the best care possible.

About: Even at a young age, I am very trusted by friends, family, and my community. I have spent countless hours with all breeds, sizes, and ages. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart and I cherish each old and new relationship! I am blessed to still have my 12 year old red fox lab in my life, so I take care of her daily. I have many loved ones who sometimes need help caring for their pets and I am always first on their list to contact. I love to be outside and partaking in physical activity, so I would love to provide a service for walking/exercising your pets! When clients communicate with me how they want me to meet their dogs needs, I will do everything I can to meet that expectation!

“Savanna is extremely friendly and reliable. I am so thankful for her help and I will definitely book again.”

“Desiree has been the biggest delight to work with. Her communication is impeccable. Any questions I have asked she has responded immediately answering all questions and then some. We could enjoy our time away with family knowing our babies were in good hands. She kept me updated as to how they were throughout. We were so pleased that we have already booked our next visit.”

About: I have experience pet sitting dogs, cats, lizards, turtles, rabbits, chicken and more! While cats and dogs ate important family members so are all our other creature friends! I have also worked at the Minnesota Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, rescuing and rehabilitating injured birds from across the state. I’m currently a college student in my last year at UWRF, I’m free most evening to come see your pet and eager to discuss schedule specifics more in depth! I’m happy to drop by and play or stay overnight. Once summer is here I can be avail during the day! Going to your home to watch your pets helps to reduce stress for them when you’re gone by allowing them to stay in a place they already trust. That being said I’m also happy to take pets on adventures to things like the dog park or pet store to help give them enrichment!

“We had a wonderful experience with Rebecca during our vacation. She took great care of Kane and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Kane was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable in her care. We would absolutely book with her again.”
