“Ajia W was wonderful with house and cat sitting on my recent vacation out of the country. She provided good communication through texting and a variety of cat pictures and video making me feel much more at ease. I felt like my cat Turbo warmed up to Ajia quickly and enjoyed the time with her. Ajia took care of my home, mail, did dishes, and even her laundry before my return. I would recommend her for any cat or home care and will use her again on my next trip.”


“We love Addie! She has house sat for us a couple times now and done a drop in visit as well. She is quick to respond and willing to work with you on shifting times or unexpected situations. If she has a question or concern about your home or pup, she asks. Addie is also thoughtful and we can tell our pup enjoys having her around!”


About: I’ve had animals for my entire life. Anything from dogs, cats, horses, fish, tortoises, and hamsters - you name it, I had it as a pet! I have certifications in animal care from Holly and Hugo, including animal anatomy and physiology, diet, grooming, training, and CPR for dogs and cats. I have 2 dogs of my own, a Great Dane and a Shih Tzu and have experience with both small and large dogs. I currently work full time during the week but I am available on nights and weekends for pet care. I am also available to do drop ins and walks when needed. I care for your pet in your own home for your convenience, so your pet will be comfortable and happy at home while you are away! I just ask for a schedule for the dog/cat/animal so they can stay on their schedule!

“If I could give Avery more than 5 stars I would. He came and took care of my 2 big dogs for a weekend with no problem. My dogs just loved him. He made sure we had a meet and greet before the actual stay. He sent pictures and updates everyday. I'll definitely be using his great dog sitting skills again. Thanks Avery :)”



About: Hello! Thank you for taking a moment to view my profile. I am an experienced, compassionate pet sitter and I also have a degree as a Vet Tech, so you can be sure your pet will be in good hands. I have taken care of pets in my neighborhood for over 25 years now, and have many long-term clients. I enjoy long walks, running, playing, snuggling, you name it. I don't just show up and sit there. I have experience giving meds, changing bandages, and more as well, so if there's an extra step needed to ensure your pet is healthy and happy, I am able to assist. Why I love dog sitting I have had animals my whole life, grew up on a farm. I’ve been pet sitting for 25 years for a large variety of pets. I’m comfortable with all breeds, ages, and temperament. My experience administering medication Yes. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I have administered pills, shots, ointments, etc. I have worked in a traditional clinic setting as well as in some pretty remote locations in Mexico so I am well versed in a variety of meds and situations.

About: Although I am newer to dog sitting, I have stayed at family and friend’s homes with their dogs multiple times in the last year including following feeding schedules, walking, playing fetch, and more. I love to play fetch with dogs and sometimes end up enjoying it more than they do. I have a high energy personality that is also nurturing and sweet. I personally one day want at least one dog of my own so this is good experience in and of itself to learn about different breeds. I would love to get to know your dog :) I do work a job 8-5pm during the weekdays, but am open on the weekends and would be willing to stay the night at your home. I offer checking up on your dog during my open breaks during the day, playing fetch, walking your dog, pee breaks, and following a feeding schedule that you have. I am also open to learning new skills that you are open to teaching me and that are within your comfort.

“Heather did an amazing job with my boy Palo Santo. He is a large German Shepherd but still has puppy energy only being 1.5 years of age. She sent pics and videos of them playing in our yard. He absolutely loved having her as his sitter. We also felt comfortable with her having access to our home and being respectful. Heather was attentive and reliable. I would absolutely give her 5 stars and will continue to use her in our home for future needs.”


“Lacey was the perfect housesitter plus more! She was so great with our pets and went above and beyond to keep our home together while we were away, including some household cleaning we didn’t ask for, but deeply appreciated. It was so relieving to come home to a home that was cleaner than when we left it! We will 💯 check with Lacey the next time we need care. 10/10 recommend!”


About: I've been around animals my whole life, from dogs and cats, to rabbits and birds, even goats and turkeys. I'm always happy to be around them, and am more than willing to make sure they're happy as well. My family always knows who to call when they need the critters taken care of, no matter what. I currently have open availability, from morning to evening, and weekends are open to all. Nothing better to start the day than a walk with man's best friend. I can't board pets in my apartment, and depending on the dog/client wishes in question I tend to let them follow their normal routine. I always make sure that they get plenty of exercise and fresh air.

About: I have been working with animals professionally since I was 13. I worked at the Wisconsin Humane Society for 8 years, walking & playing with dogs, and socializing other animals such as cats and rabbits. I have worked as an “Animal Wrangler” at summer camp, tending to new puppies, reptiles, small mammals, etc. around camp! I have lots of experience as a pet sitter for family and friends, and I’ve also been taking care of my own pets my whole life: dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, snakes, you name it! My 2 kitties (Bella and Luna), crested gecko (Rango), and cornsnake (Pabu aka Mr Noodle) are my life. I call them my kids - I’ll treat your pets like I treat my own. I work a regular 8 - 5 on weekdays, so I’ll be available for visits in the evening, and I’m available full time most weekends. Message me and we’ll work something out! I have 2 very friendly cats who have lived with 2 dogs their whole lives up until now, a friendly cornsnake, and adorable created gecko. My fiancé and I call them our kids. We adore all animals and will give your babies some extra love. I don’t have dogs of my own here, so I’d love to be able to take care of yours, for both our sakes! 😊

About: I grew up on a farm and I have experience with multiple different breeds of animals. I take the time to listen to animals and their body language. I work part time. So i have plenty of extra time to spend and care for your fur baby. Im available Monday to Friday after 2pm and weekends! I have plent of yard space and easy access to walking tails and parks. I do have a dog friendly cat who can keep ur fur baby company

About: From young puppies and small dogs, big dogs and rambunctious dogs, to farm animals, I have experienced it all! While in high school I worked at a doggy daycare in my local hometown and there learned how to care for a variety of dogs! I have administered medication and kept up with healthcare needs, as well as personally handled the pups that need a little more help with behavior. I’m applying to part time jobs right now, but just graduated high school so I have a ton of free time on my hands! After getting employed, my schedule will still be very flexible I pay careful attention to detail, and will make sure every single care instruction is taken seriously and done well. I’m not just here to take care of your animals, I’m there to give them the same love you give them while you’re gone! Your animals will be enriched, loved and taken care of in my care!

“We had Anna for an overnight stay in our home and we can’t thank her enough. She let us know everything was ok when she arrived, our home was left spotless and our pups seemed happy with her care. Would recommend!!”


About: I have taken care of pets for a few years now. I have walked pets for neighbors, family. I also have watched plenty of dogs for neighbors family and friends! I am currently a student so I have time to visit dogs and let them outside and to play. Your dog will be my top priority! I will ensure the fence is locked as well as any rooms pets aren’t allowed in. I will always check the water before I leave as well as give them a potty break.
