“Kelly was a great communicator and showed good insight about my dogs needs. Yogi clearly enjoyed having her spend time with him and he was relaxed and happy when we got home! I appreciated that she was willing to feed him and give him some play time as part of the time we contracted her to spend with him.”

About: I’ve worked at Feeder’s Supply, where I cared for a variety of animals and regularly bathed dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My experience there helped me build strong skills in animal handling and care. I’ve also owned many types of pets over the years and currently have two cats of my own. Whether it’s feeding, walking, bathing, or just giving them love and attention, I’m passionate about making sure every animal feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently spend most of my time caring for my daughter and cats, but am looking to share my love with other animals in need of care while their parents are busy! This can include regular services Monday to Saturday between 8:15 am and 4:45 pm; if you need something outside of this, message me and we’ll see what we can work out! For dogs, any equipment must be provided by you to ensure I am using leashes, toys, etc. that fit your pet and they are comfortable with. For cats, I can provide a cat harness or stroller to take them outside in a controlled environment for extra enrichment. I also have a set of cat toys to bring if needed.

About: Hi! I’ve always had a huge love for animals and honestly can’t imagine life without them. I worked at PetSmart for 3 years as a Pet Care Associate, where I cared for all kinds of animals — from dogs and bunnies to lizards and other small pets. That experience taught me so much about animal behavior, patience, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I also know the doggy Heimlich maneuver, so your pet’s safety is always something I take seriously. I grew up surrounded by pets and now have two of my own as an adult, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm comforting presence, I’ll always treat them like one of my own ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle because animals are truly what I love spending my time around 🐾 I work 8–4 in Wisconsin Dells, and outside of work, caring for animals is honestly my favorite way to spend my free time. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping pets company, it never feels like a chore to me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy ❤️ I’ve always grown up with pets and currently have two of my own, so caring for animals has always been part of my daily life. I love creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away 🐶🐱 When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s home—I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and sticking closely to their normal routine 🐾 In my own home, I care for my two pets daily by making sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime, walks when needed, and a calm, clean environment. I really treat them like part of my family, and their well-being is a big part of my everyday life. When caring for a client’s pets, I bring that same level of care and consistency. I follow instructions closely, maintain feeding and potty routines, give lots of love and attention based on each pet’s personality, and always prioritize safety. I also pay attention to behavior and comfort so pets feel as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. With my experience working at PetSmart and years of caring for animals in both personal and professional settings, I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds and always aim to make them feel secure, loved, and at home!

“Our cats LOVE Laura! Our cats have been known as the extremely timid types that people may be lucky enough to see. It's unheard of for them to be pet by people other than my husband and I. For this, it can take years to do. Laura was able to pet both of our cats this time around. That amazed me! We're very very grateful to have such a wonderful sitter for our precious kitties while we're away. She brought in our mail and watered our plants as well. We highly recommend Laura.”

“I am very impressed with Cilyr, from the speed she answered to the request, to her detailed (and funny) reports, to how my two cats took to her in no time. Strongly recommended!”

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid around 5 years old. I have taken care of dogs all the way from them being puppies to their final days. Young dogs and old dogs and everyone in between all come with their surprises and I will be ready to handle all things! You can trust in me to take the best possible care of your pet! I am able to work from home every other day 90% of the time. When I am working from home I have the freedom and flexibility to be able to take care of dogs whether they come over for the day or they need to be let outside around lunch time. I will always keep my schedule up to date on when I am working from home. I currently do not have a pet of my own due to time constraints but I like to think of dogs as hoomans. I like to talk to them throughout the day and always take little 5 min breaks and run around the house with them. They will get plenty of outside walking time as I dont like to sit still myself.

“Absolutely fantastic experience with Mandi and delighted she was able to take our booking. Mandi came for a meet-and-greet in advance of the booking to review details and get acquainted with our home, our cat, and his care. He was much more relaxed and comfortable when we returned than when we've picked him up from boarding in the past; at his advanced age, that means so much! We're looking forward to our next booking with Mandi!”

About: I have had dogs since my childhood and have worked with breeds of different sizes and backgrounds, including some with special needs. In my home life, I have two cats that I adore and spend much of my free time with. I’m available all day on weekends, as well as from 5:30pm onward on weekdays (typically). If you have specific requirements for your animal let me know and we can create a schedule that works best for you! I can perform any specific needs that your pet may need. One of my own pets has special medical requirements, so I am familiar with taking care of animals that need extra care.

“Ann was a wonderful sitter for my cat! I needed someone on very short notice and I was so relieved when Ann responded to my request right away. I loved the daily updates and I appreciated that she respected the boundaries of my shy kitty. I will absolutely use her services again!”

“Savannah is caring and compassionate, I have a peace of mind knowing Indie Rae dog is in good hands while I am working. She takes the best photos and I love that she takes Indie out for walks. My worry dissipates, knowing my dog is being cared for while I’m away. I am so grateful for Jorden and Savannah and happy to have met them!”

About: I have raised and cared for many animals throughout my lifetime ranging from dogs, cats, kittens, cows, raccoons, guinea pigs, bunnies, and fish! There is no animal too big, small, or sassy for me! I love them all! I have experience with bottle fed, new born animals, pets with different feeding patterns in the same house, delivering medicine to pets (including via syringe), outdoor supervision, and caring for temperamental animals. My own dogs are a pitbull and Doberman respectively, so I know firsthand that a breed or size does not define an animal! I am here to provide exceptional care to your fur babies regardless of shape, size, age, or attitude! I work various part-time jobs around the Mount Horeb/Middleton area, but would almost always be available for morning, afternoon, and evening care! If planned a few days in advance, I can accommodate most needs! I believe in following instructions carefully, especially when it comes to animals. While I strive to create a relationship with the animals I care for, my main priority is to listen to the advice and instructions of the pet parents to ensure I am prepared and aware of their pet’s unique characteristics and needs. Nobody knows an animal like their owner, and I am dedicated to doing as told when it comes to animals—especially considering the trust the owners have in me!

I have had dogs of all sizes my whole life and they are family! I currently have 2 smaller dogs. A Chihuahua mixes and a dachshund. We have taken in and cared for other pets their whole lives so they are very comfortable sharing their space. I've spent the last 15 years employed at a local Veterinary clinic where I have gained experience in all areas of pet Care. I have recently retired and my husband is retired which gives us the freedom to be available at home to be with your pets. I am home full time and my husband is retired so care is available all of the time. We specialize in geriatric dogs and offer care as needed Our home is set up for ease of care for elderly dogs. They can get in and out with one small ramp. Ramps are set up around the home as needed. Part of our large yard stays plowed and open during the winter months for small dogs.
