Cat Sitting in Mount Hope Corners

About: Hi, I’m Nikki—lifelong animal lover, dog mom, and the human behind Fetching Feldy’s Handmade Pet Boutique. Whether your dog thrives on sniff walks, enrichment games, trail time, or just a consistent routine, I’ll tailor each visit to what keeps them happiest. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, snakes, and even owned a bearded dragon. Whether it’s fur, feathers, or scales, I focus on building trust and providing care that fits your pet’s personality and needs. I’m experienced with oral medications (pill or syringe), training reinforcement, and keeping pets safe, calm, and enriched while you’re away. My dog, Tillie, is proof that patience and consistency work—she’s been complimented as “the best behaved dog I’ve ever seen,” and I trained her from puppyhood. When I wanted to take an advanced-level class that usually required multiple prerequisite courses, I shared her skills with the trainer and they let us in. She did great! Training and enrichment are part of our everyday life—on and off the trail. If you're looking for someone who truly gets animals, respects their needs, and cares for them like family, I’d love to connect. I have the unique advantage of creating my own schedule, as I am the owner and creator of Fetching Feldy's Pet Boutique. This flexibility is incredibly beneficial, as it allows me to prioritize and seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Unlike a rigid 9-to-5 job, my hours are designed around my commitments, meaning I can easily: -Schedule visits precisely: I can block out specific times for walks, drop-ins, or house-sitting without conflict, ensuring punctuality and consistent care for your pet. -Be responsive: My flexible hours mean I'm often available to respond quickly to booking requests, last-minute needs, or simply check in with you during the day. -Focus entirely on your pet: When I'm caring for your pet, they have my full attention. My boutique work can be adapted around their needs, not the other way around. My own dog, Tillie, is an integral part of my life, so I deeply understand the importance of routine, exercise, and companionship for pets. Crafting bandanas for Fetching Feldy's often happens around Tillie's walks and playtimes, and extending that same dedicated, pet-centric care to others feels like a natural and fulfilling part of my day. Ultimately, my business structure is built on flexibility and a love for pets, making me a reliable and dedicated choice for your pet care needs. My approach to pet care, regardless of the service, is rooted in safety, communication, and a genuine love for animals. Every pet is unique, and my priority is always to provide personalized care that mirrors their own home routine, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and loved in your absence. 1. For all services, you can expect: -Safety First: I prioritize your pet's well-being above all else, ensuring a secure environment and adhering strictly to your instructions. -Clear Communication: Regular updates, photos, and quick responses to any questions are a given. You'll always know how your furry family member is doing. -Respect for Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect, maintaining cleanliness and privacy as if it were my own. 2. House-Sitting (Caring for Pets & Home in Your Absence): When I'm house-sitting, I become a responsible and caring temporary guardian for both your pets and your home. My goal is to maintain your pets' routine as seamlessly as possible, minimizing their stress and providing them with constant companionship and care. -Dedicated Presence: I stay overnight in your home, providing around-the-clock comfort and security for your pets. They won't feel lonely or anxious. -Routine Adherence: I meticulously follow your detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medication administration, exercise routines, playtimes, and bedtimes. Consistency is key for a happy pet. -Home & Pet Security: Beyond pet care, I ensure your home remains secure, bringing in mail/packages, watering plants, and maintaining a lived-in appearance. -Comfort & Play: We'll enjoy plenty of cuddles, playtime, and enrichment tailored to your pet's needs and preferences. -Regular Updates: You'll receive daily updates with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pets are thriving. 3. Drop-In Visits (Brief, Focused Care in Your Home): Drop-in visits are perfect for providing essential care, comfort, and potty breaks when you're away for shorter periods. My visits are thorough and designed to ensure your pet's immediate needs are met. -Timely & Reliable: I arrive promptly at our scheduled times to maintain your pet's routine. -Basic Needs & Beyond: Each visit includes fresh food and water, dedicated potty breaks, and a thorough check of their environment. -Enrichment & Play: Depending on the visit length, we'll include playtime, cuddles, or mental stimulation to keep your pet happy and engaged. -Home Check: I'll also do a quick check of your home to ensure everything is secure and clean up any pet-related messes. -Visit Summaries: After each visit, you'll receive a detailed report and photos, outlining what we did, how your pet ate, and their bathroom activity. 4. Dog Walking (Exercise & Fresh Air): Dog walks are more than just potty breaks – they're opportunities for exercise, mental stimulation, and enjoyment of the outdoors. I focus on making each walk safe, fun, and tailored to your dog's energy level. -Safe & Controlled Walks: I use secure leashes and harnesses, remain attentive to surroundings (weather, other dogs, people), and practice positive reinforcement. -Tailored Exercise: Whether your dog needs a brisk power walk, a leisurely stroll, or time for sniffing and exploring, I adapt the walk to their individual needs and your preferences. -Hydration & Relief: Potty breaks are always a priority, and I ensure your dog has access to water during and after the walk, especially on warmer days. I always pick up after your dog. -Behavioral Awareness: I pay close attention to your dog's cues and behavior, ensuring a positive and stress-free experience. -Walk Updates: You'll receive a summary of our walk, including distance covered, potty breaks, and any notable observations or fun moments. By choosing me, you're choosing a dedicated and responsible pet care provider who genuinely cares for your beloved companions and respects your home. I look forward to meeting you and your pet family!

“With my elderly cat, Emily was very gentle and helpful with giving him his medicine. She went above and beyond watching him. I will definitely book with Emily again!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I'm currently working a full time job, however I still have plenty of time to watch your fur babies!! If anything changes I will let you all know ASAP!! I have two very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if needed, or I can separate my dogs from your dogs if needed. I also have toys for them to play with so they won't get bored.

“Emma was great. We’ll definitely use Rover again.”

“Hailey was amazing! She took care of our fur baby on short notice! Our cat can be kinda shy at first but warmed up to Hailey super fast. She sent plenty of pictures and I was able to enjoy my time away from home! Will 100% book her again the next time we're out of town!”

About: I've been around animals my whole life. In fact, I was born into a home with a dog, and caring for pets has been second nature ever since. I regularly care for my parents’ neighbor’s two dogs and cat, and I’ve helped out with pets for family friends over the years. I don’t have a pet right now, but I’ve helped take care of pets for friends and family. I make sure to stick to feeding times, walks, and playtime. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their specific instructions to make sure the pet stays comfortable and happy. This includes feeding, giving fresh water, cleaning up after them, and providing exercise or playtime based on what the pet needs. I also spend time with the pet to give them attention and make sure they feel safe while their owner is away. I always respect the home and keep everything clean and tidy

About: I have grown up caring for dogs since the age of 6! When my family got our first dog, I was immediately in love, and was always taking on the responsibility of caring for our dog because I loved her so much! As an adult, I have experience caring for dogs with my own Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie. I also have experience working with reactive dogs :). If your dog stays with me, I will love them like they are my own! September-May, I work full time 8-4 Monday through Friday. I work in a school, so during the summer, I am very open and available to care for your pets, whether it’s with walks, check-ins, or house sitting or boarding :)! I take my dog on walks before and after work, which is something I can do for your dog as well! In the evenings, I can give your dog all the attention they deserve! On the weekends, we can spend extra time playing, cuddling, and everything in between! I truly strive to treat your pet like my own. Whether in my home or yours, I will make sure to follow your pet's routine as closely as possible. All pets are allowed on any furniture in my home. They are allowed any toys and treats that you would allow as well!

“If I could give 10 stars I would! Melissa IS "the best paws down". She sent me daily updates and even photos. I think she actually spent more quality time with my cats while I was gone than I typically do. When Melissa is pet and house sitting for me, I don't worry at all...I'm free to thoroughly enjoy my get aways. I've already reserved her again for next month!”

About: I have grew up with dogs all my life, and had a very demanding great Dane for eight years of his life, and I am now going through the journey of Owning a cat, I Shadowed in vet clinics before so I know a little bit and that Area. I love bathing animals as well. I’m not sure why but I’ve always wanted to be a pet groomer. I do have a full-time job, but am currently working to get a more animal centered job. I am currently available Saturday and Sunday anytime, and anytime after 7 pm weekdays. I personally believe I am a guest in the animals home so treating everything with respect and making sure I have my attention on the animal in the best way shape or form while giving them love and attention.

“An absolutely stellar and trustworthy pet sitter. River took care of my two cats who had never been without me before and did an excellent job. They spent quality time with the cats and send me tons of pictures and updates. They were also okay with my schedule being a bit flexible which was really important to me. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future.”

About: I am a recent graduate from UWEC and am looking to take hang out with your furry companions! My family has always had pets and being far away makes me miss them dearly. I currently work part time and am available every weekend to help with your pets. I typically don’t work Tuesdays during the week as well. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex. I am right next to an exit so easy access to the outside! I am near a trail where I can take pets on walks!

“I have never felt so at peace with leaving my cat than when Maya came to watch her. Maya was enthusiastic, thoughtful, and made friends with my cat right away.”

Stacy L.

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Growing up on a farm, I have lots of experience with large animals and small animals! I have lots of free time on my hands right now. I’m available all day most weekdays. Weekends vary for me. Can’t wait for you to reach out to me! I would not be able to watch your pet at my house, as I have one dog that isn’t so friendly to new pets unfortunately.

“Jenna is awesome! She took care of my senior cat while I was out of town for a week. She is on quite a few medications for various health problems and I felt she was in very good hands with Jenna, who gave me daily updates on how she was eating and her litter box use status. My cat unfortunately developed a UTI while I was gone and Jenna took her to the emergency vet for me and was willing to go above and beyond and come super early the next morning to give her the antibiotic she needed. She was also super helpful in checking my mail daily as I live in an apartment and quite a few packages delivered while I was gone. I can’t recommend her enough!”
