House Sitting in North Fond du Lac

About: I grew up having dogs around and they are my favorite animal! My family has been fortunate to adopt 3 dogs, so far, in my life: a Black Lab-Dachshund, a Bassett Hound, and an Australian Cattle Dog; all very different dogs! I also have the experience of watching family & friends animals over the years! Having been around so many different types of dogs has taught me how many different behaviors and reactions they have depending on the environment or people it is/has been surrounded by. At the end of last year I got married and moved to Fond du Lac and have been looking at some part time work. I am very flexible with scheduling right now! I will ensure your pets comfort, safety, and well-being by learning their daily schedules and rules by their owners. I understand that comfort, safety, and trust comes in three parts, the owner, the pet, and myself; and will respect all parties.

“This was Carissa’s first stay with Eddy and it went so well! Eddy, who is hesitant at first, loved Carissa immediately. She checked in with us periodically to make sure we were comfortable with how things were going. She even left us a sweet note and some cute pictures. We will feel so confident using Carissa again and highly recommend her!”

“She was very attentive and concerned for our dogs She provided daily updates with photos so we knew they were being well cared for She took care of our home probably better than we do! Highly recommended”

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats all my life, and have been pet sitting for others pets since I was around 10. Wether it was letting the neighbor dog outside, feeding their pet lizard, scooping the litter boxes, etc. I play travel softball, and I will have 3 tournaments left this summer. My practices are 5-7 on Wednesdays. I work on weekdays from 12-5, and occasionally 8-5. I have a fenced in yard, with a yellow lab to keep your pup company! He is 11 years old-but still has the energy of a 2 year old. I have a 6 year old cat, but she usually stays away from other dogs. I love animals, and always treat them with kindness and respect. I would love to care for any type of animal!

“Hannah did great with our boys! It’s always a lot to trust someone with your fur babies and your home, but she made it easy. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Emalia was so communicative the whole time. She consistently checked in and sent photos so I was never worried about him. She seems to care so much and I’m so grateful she was able to take such great care of my pup!”

Kayla O.

“Sarah was phenomenal! All 3 dogs warmed right up to her immediately, and she did a perfect job with all the detailed instructions we left her; including giving time-sensitive anti-seizure medications.”

“Isaiah was reliable and gave our dog everything he needed. Isaiah was also very willing to learn how to give our cancer kitty her subcutaneous fluids which I appreciate because it’s something that others can be very nervous about doing. Thanks, Isaiah!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have had several pets of my own. I’ve cared for dogs with a variety of needs from separation anxiety to administering medicine. I am attentive to their needs and will do everything I can do create a safe space for them. I’m currently working full-time, however, I come home on lunch breaks. The longest amount of time your pet would be alone is 4 hours. I am off Sunday and Monday and would available all day to give them plenty of attention. I often take walks, sometimes multiple times a day, so your pet would get plenty of time outside! I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I always make sure pets are leashed. I can also crate your pet if that is requested. I always make sure to maintain a tidy space and eliminate potential risks such as ensuring trash cans are hidden or household items are put away so they are not chewed on or ingested.

“Great experience! My very timid pup seemed very at ease and comfortable upon return. Will definitely hire Cheri again for pet sitting! Thanks Cheri!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 8 years old. It has always been a passion of mine. I would always walk the neighbors dog’s and my family always relied on me to take care of their animals . I absolutely love animals. I am a volunteer at the local Rescue Group. I occasionally foster dogs that come from New Mexico that were going to be euthanized for space. I am a dog owner that will love your pets like my own. I have been a owner and dog sitter for years. I am flexible and available to customize to your dogs needs. I offer long walks, feedings, and lots of love and company. My dogs Hudson and Sadie are my pride and joy. I spend a lot of time outside with them and inside enrichment toys and puzzles. Sadie is a Blue Heeler and she needs lots of mental stimulation. I also have a kitten named Oreo who thinks he is a dog. I work from home so I am home 90% of the time. Please feel free to message me and we can talk about your dogs needs. I can send you pictures throughout the stay if you would like as well. I am home 80% of the time. It is something I am passionate about and love. I also run a small business from home so never worry about your fur babies being alone. I have three dogs of my own so adding a few more to my daily routine makes it just a little more fun. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I have two of my own dogs to keep your animals active and playing. I do prefer the dog to be crated at night for their safety. I have an alarm system as well as outside video surveillance.

“Bryanna took extra care with Jackson. We had lost his buddy on June 1 and this was the first time I had left him for more than a few hours. Jackson was happy and well cared for. I’m so happy with the care Bryanna provides.”

“She was absolutely incredible with our fur babies. Nya our Rottweiler was so good for her and she responded fast when I asked how things were going. I would definitely be booking with Katie again… thank you so much.”

Bryanna M.

“Amazing care. Super responsible and thoughtful. Sent daily updates, would hire again!”

About: I grew up around dogs and now own two of my own and understand how to take care of them in a way that fun and gives the parents peace at mind when they are with me. I currently work full time for Aurora health care Friday - Sunday 6am-6pm. I love doing drop ins during the week and can also house sit during the weekends as long as it’s okay for pets to be left alone for 12 hours. I have a fenced in yard and also have a crate if needed. I also don't give treats unless approved before hand and will provide close care and watch over them while im watching them.

About: Hello! I study Vet Science at UW Madison and have extensive experience in both dog and cat humane societies, kennels, and have had dogs my whole life and cats for 3 years now. My dogs Jojo and Jagger are very energetic, and Indy is my tortie and the love of my life :) I tend to work weekends at my families business but can change my availability based on how familiar I get with your pet(s). I am always available to talk and will respond quickly to messages! I love to engage with pets and learn their body language, I will always have a ball or stick while walking your dog, but also understand when they need a break. My priority is making them feel as at home as possible, while earning experience in the field I love. I have patience for both cats and dogs, and will watch carefully to not over pet, play, or initiate with shy animals. Tell me more about your pet to help me help them be as comfortable as they can be!

“Emily did a fantastic job of caring for all 3 of my animals, watering the indoor and outdoor plants as well as leaving my home just as clean as she found it. I will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Rachel was amazing. Great communication throughout the whole process. We hesitate leaving our sweet, old boy alone but had no qualms after meeting Rachel. Would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I've had three black labs in my life, who have turned me into a dog obsessed human! When I attend social gatherings, I am usually found hanging out with the dog giving it some loving attention. When I was younger I walked my neighbors' dogs. One of these dogs was deaf and I learned different ways to communicate with him. I am friendly and compassionate and will provide your pet with warmth and snuggles while you are away! I work full time during the week, but evenings and most weekends I'm free to care for dogs. Whether your pup is looking for a quick walk, a mozy around the neighborhood, an active, engaging play session, or an overnighter- I will, with the occasional help of my labrador, Bella along with our dog friend, Frankie, make sure to keep your pup happy and occupied. I have a fenced in yard, a couple of friendly dogs of my own, and can crate your pup with their own crate, so please provide if crating is preferred. I prefer a meet and greet to ensure a good fit for your pup. That would look different depending on the service. Dog walking and House Sitting: I will meet you and your fur friend at your home - this will help establish trust and familiarity for the dog while you are there. At this point we can go over the safest entry into your home, routines for your pup, and any specific care requirements. Doggy Day Care and Boarding: You will meet at my home. Where I will bring my two dogs out to meet you and your pup (everybody leashed) and we can talk and sniff and ensure initial vibes are correct for everybody's safety. When we confirm that the dogs are showing no signs of threat/discomfort, we can move everybody into the gated area of our yard and let your dog off leash. We have lots of smells and space to roam about, so this should be an exciting little adventure for your friend. At this point you can share any specific care instructions and routines important to your dog's happiness.
