“Very happy with this drop in visit. I think more than anything Josie was out of sorts because we had just hosted a few people and a dog previously and she was wiped out and had only met Rachel once. Glad things went well though and all was well when we got home! We will definitely use Rachel’s services again!”

“Becky is the absolute best. She took care of my dog 100% and was very helpful and understanding. She was very responsive after the walks and how Buster did on the walks. I will use her again.”


About: I have had both dogs and cats all my life. Many friends and family over the years have trusted their pets to be in my care. I just recently left my full-time job to be self-employed with the small business my partner and I started. My schedule is quite flexible and open at this time. I promise to provide quality care to each pet with attentiveness and enriching play time and walks as necessary. I am happy to follow any personal covid related protocols any client may have.

About: Always taken care of friends', family's, and my own dogs since I was a kid. Been working with professionally since 2019. Doggy daycare/boarding/training for 3 years and been working at animal shelters since 2022 and still going. Experienced with working with dogs with behavioral needs and comfortable with administering medications. K9 First Aid training. Began training apprenticeship prior to COVID before moving into management positions - still continuing care and behavioral work. Pet care fills my personal and professional life, and I still like it enough to ask for more! I've had experience with all kinds of animal care from dogs, cats, and more. I am comfortable with whatever setup and routine clients dogs are already used to. Happy to monitor in a fenced yard or walk on leash to go out, and am used to preparingall sorts of diets. My goal is to seamlessly step in and care for people's pups while they are away keeping things a similar to normal as possible to give them the best experience they can while their people are away and give the human family peace of mind that their fur-family is in excellent hands.


“Kelly is an outstanding. She is detailed and attentive with my pups behavioral problems. She was timely and went above and beyond. My dog has been so much happier lately and I have no worries with trusting her with the care of my dog and plan on rebooking often.”


“Julia is great! She’s been walking our George for a couple weeks now and we will continue to use her services going forward. She is trustworthy and reliable. We are impressed with her level of professionalism. Previous walkers have not taken the job as serious. She truly cares about the animals she tends too and making sure the owners are informed. One of my favorite things is to read George’s report card after each walk! We would highly recommend Julia”


About: Experienced dog sitter. I have experience in puppy training, and working with small to large dogs, (former owner of Dalmatians). I adore dogs in general. I currently do not own a dog, so your dog will get all the attention! Walks included, weather permitting for boarders and house sitting. I currently work an average of two nights a week, (Tues/Wed w/ some Fridays), Five minutes away from home for Approx. 4 to 6 hours. I am home full time everyday and I am only gone for a short shift 2 or 3 nights, which gives me plenty of time to enjoy and care for your pet. I have a partially fenced large yard that the dog will have leashed access to. I also have a nice rural neighborhood to walk them, weather permitting. Sometimes field trips are taken to walk around Lake Wazeecha. I have a kennel available for a smaller dogs if needed, however I do not like to kennel dogs unless necessary for training. I love to see the dogs happy when they get to enjoy the outdoors and with play time inside or out. Quality only approved treats are given in moderation as rewards if the owner gives permission. Food and water bowls are kept clean daily and the water is fresh daily as well. I am experienced in giving meds to dogs and cats if it is required. I have been educated on proper dietary guidelines for dogs and there are no accessible food garbage cans to get into! I care for dogs only in home, and both dogs and cats in your home.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has continued into my adulthood. The best decision I’ve ever made was adopting my dog, Finn, while living in New Orleans for work. He has helped my love and compassion for dogs grow exponentially. My experience in dog care comes from having my own dog and caring for the animals of family, friends and volunteering some over the years. I have experience with the puppy stage through senior dogs. I am an RN so I 4 days a week off, often in a row, and will be happy to take care of your dog during those days. I have my dog, Finn, that I care for on a daily basis and I’m sure your dog will fit right in. I currently have an unfenced yard so the dog park is our favorite place for activity! I am able to crate your dog if needed.

About: I've taken care of my dog Tootsie for 16 years now and I've also dog sat for friends and neighbors for 7 years. I have experience taking care of high energy pets but also slow-paced pets. Additionally, I have experience with senior and special needs pets. I can administer intravenous fluids and other meds. I adore all pets: cats, dogs, and small animals. I am a graduate student at UWSP looking for a side hustle for the summer. I have wide open availability and am flexible with bookings and cancellations. At my home, I cordon off my kitchen for my dog when I leave but I also can put dogs in crates if need be. When I've pet sat in the past, I've always double checked to be sure I've locked doors and left the home as I found it.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up in a home full of pets and have always been surrounded by animals, which taught me early on how to care for them with love, patience, and responsibility. I have two cats of my own and have cared for many others through house-sitting and check-ins during college. I know how important it is to respect each cat’s unique personality and routine — whether they’re social, shy, or need special care. I also spent years walking, house-sitting, and nannying dogs throughout college, treating every pet like they were part of my own family. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler touch, I’m confident in providing personalized, loving care. I’m reliable, communicative, and truly enjoy connecting with animals. Whether you're leaving for a trip or just need daily help, you can count on me to care for your furry family like they’re my own! I work part-time, so I have plenty of free time during the day and some evenings to spend with pets. On my weekends off, I love nothing more than hanging out with furry friends, it’s the highlight of my week and a fun way to fill my time! When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow their usual routine so they feel safe and happy while you're away. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or let dogs out as needed, and give them plenty of love and attention. I also take dogs on walks to make sure they get exercise and enrichment. I treat every pet like my own and every home with respect, reliable, caring, and always focused on keeping your pets comfortable and stress-free.

About: I have had pets in my household for as long as I could remember. Growing up we had cats, dogs, hamsters, Guinea pigs, and hermit crabs. In high school, I watched family and neighbors pets while they were away. In college, I got a job at a humane society. Here, I learned how to care for sick animals, administer medications, give vaccinations, treat fleas, remove ticks, take care of puppies and seniors, and much more to make sure all the animals were healthy. Also, I learned how to deal with aggressive and behavioral dogs/cats. Now, I have 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own. Most of them were rescues. I am currently a substitute teacher while I go back to school for my teaching degree. Days vary but typically I will be working 8 hours a day if I do get a job for the day. On weekends, I normally don’t have anything going on. I have a fenced in backyard that allows my dogs to run and use the bathroom. In the morning and at night, I take them for walks. In the afternoon, I take my GSP for a run. On weekends, we like to go to Sniffspots or hiking. In a clients home, I will take them for walks, play in the fenced in backyard if applicable, and sometimes with permission will take them hiking.

About: I’ve been a dog owner most of my life and have spent time volunteering at animal shelters. I have cared for miniature to large breeds. I’ve owned several dogs that were very reactive to other animals, so I know how challenging that can be as a pet owner. I have also cared for senior dogs with unique medical needs. I currently own two large dogs that were both adopted from the South Wood County Humane Society. I typically work on the weekends and have free time during the week when my kids are at school. I can be available on a regular or as-needed basis. Home security and safety is key for you and your pet. I will happily follow any instructions you have and will leave your home just how I found it.

About: I have been raised with dogs my entire life. I have cared for my own dogs, as well as friend and family's dogs.

I am most available for boarding as I do work during the week but we are happy to have dogs come and have someone to let them out frequently during the day until I get home. We do have lots of baseball games for our 3 boys so will need to pop in and out at times. Otherwise I am available for boarding most days of the week, unless out of town for activities for our 3 boys. I have a fenced yard and 4 friendly and active dogs: 3 German Shorthaired Pointers (ages 6.5, 5, and 1) and a Corgi (age 2). We also have an elderly cat in the home. Our boys are ages 12, 9 and 6.

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, and I got my very own dog when I was 13 — I took care of everything from daily walks and training to vet visits and snuggles on the couch. I’ve had puppies in my house for each of my 3 siblings and my very own soul dog for 16 years. Pet care throughout the week is my summer job before heading out to college. I am very flexibile, whenever an animal out there needs someone to take care of them! Some pets like cuddles and attention and playtime, others expect their own space. It’s easy to read whatever pets prefer! Feeding is always on time, walks are welcome, and any special necessities will be marked down and remembered— with frequent potty breaks.
