About: My family has had dogs and cats my entire life. I've grown up around animals and love them to death. They put a special spark in people's lives that nothing else can, and I do not take that for granted. I have experience living with small dogs as well as medium sized dogs. I have walked them and made sure they have food. I really enjoy playing and wrestling with them. I am an actor. I am very expressive and animated, so I can keep your dog happy and entertained. When my profile says I am available, that is me telling the clients that 100% of my energy and time will be for their dog to make sure they are safe and happy. I am a full time real estate agent. My daily schedule varies, but I will be available to give you the best service possible whenever you need it. I love animals and always want them to be safe and happy. Whenever an animal is happy, that always brightens my day, so I will do everything I can to make them happy.

My daily routine is active and flexible, which means your pup gets plenty of walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. I love being outside and staying on a consistent schedule—perfect for keeping dogs happy and cared for! Caring for pets, whether in your own home or a client’s home, involves a combination of regular attention, proper feeding, exercise, grooming, and emotional care. Here’s a breakdown of how I might approach pet care depending on the service I offer: 1. Pet Sitting (In Client’s Home or Own Home) • Feeding: Follow the pet’s regular feeding schedule and adjust based on dietary needs or special instructions from the owner. • Exercise: Ensure that pets get enough physical activity through walks, playtime, or other engaging activities. • Grooming: Brush pets regularly to maintain their coat and avoid matting (especially for long-haired breeds). Bathe them as needed, depending on the breed and the owner’s preferences. • Health & Safety: Monitor the pet’s health for any changes, such as a decrease in appetite, lethargy, or signs of illness. Administer any medications as directed by the owner. • Companionship: Provide attention, playtime, and comfort to ensure the pet doesn’t feel lonely or anxious. This might include cuddling, talking to them, or simply being around. • Cleaning: Ensure the pet’s living environment is clean, including regularly changing litter boxes for cats or cleaning up after dogs. 2. Dog Walking • Exercise: Provide regular walks to ensure that the pet gets the necessary physical and mental stimulation. The duration and intensity of the walk depend on the breed, age, and health of the dog. • Safety: Ensure the dog is safe during walks by using a sturdy leash, avoiding busy traffic areas, and monitoring for any signs of discomfort. • Playtime: If there is time, include some interactive play (e.g., fetch or tug-of-war) during the walk to engage the dog mentally. 3. Pet Boarding (In Your Home) • Comfort: Provide a safe, comfortable space with a designated sleeping area, food, and water station. • Socialization: If appropriate, allow pets to socialize with other animals (especially if they are accustomed to it). • Routine: Keep the pet on a similar routine as they would have at home, with regular meals, walks, and bathroom breaks. 4. General Tips for Pet Care • Communication: Keep the pet owner updated regularly on their pet’s well-being, sharing any observations, concerns, or funny moments. • Emergency Preparedness: Know where the nearest vet is and be prepared for any emergencies, including having a list of the pet’s medical details and contact information. By focusing on the pet’s specific needs and preferences, both physical and emotional, I can ensure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for.

About: I've had dogs for most of my life, I love going for long walks and playing fetch. My schedule is very flexible and I'm able to accommodate their needs! I'm an incoming college freshman at UW Madison, and I'm using pet-sitting as my sole job for this summer, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! I have a lot of love to give to your pets, animals have a special place in my heart. I would love to take your pup for long walks in Lapham Peak or any other park!

About: I grew up with a dog and now have one of my own! Willing to give your pup as much love and attention as I give Enzo. I’m willing to walk your dog miles if needed, and have plenty of enrichment activities as well! I will go above and beyond to communicate scheduling and pet needs, and can be flexible with my schedule in the summer if needed. I will be home for most of summer, so any days that are available I can walk, dogsit, or board your pup!! Willing to be flexible with your schedule if needed. I have a kennel if needed, otherwise your dog will be free to roam the house throughout the day. There is a lead on either side of my house providing outdoor access, and plenty of comfortable places inside for relaxation. I am comfortable using any type of leash to walk your dog as well.

About: I have always been a dog person & grew up with them my entire life. Friends & family have been asking me to house sit, walk, feed & play with their dog for years. I currently work remote, so I have the flexibility to stay home with you puppy all day & take play breaks and walks throughout the day! I live in a house near a lot of bike trails! I also have a very friendly golden retriever named Louie that can keep your pup company.

About: I’ve been working with animals since I was 9 years old. I’ve taken care of family pets, neighbors, and I’ve even run my own pet sitting business for a while. I’m going to school to become a veterinarian, so I get my fair share of animal handling weekly. I’m currently a student athlete at UW-River Falls, so I’m free in between classes as well as after practices for my sport. It all depends on my weekly plan administered by my coach. I make sure the pet is able to become familiar with me in a gentle way and I do my best to make sure that the pet is happy and comfortable whenever I’m around. I will happily play for as long as needed with your pet and do whatever is necessary for them!

“Brianna was great! She’s very friendly and easy to communicate with. She was kind and gentle with my dog Freya. I will be booking with her again in the future. :)”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I grew up with dogs and would pet sit around the neighborhood. I also would babysit and take care of the family’s pets while I was there. I have recently started picking that back up. I have watched several different dogs in my neighborhood overnight at my house or at the owners home. I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule. I am able to give your fur babies all the walks, playtime, love and cuddles that they need. I like to ask you what schedule you have your pet on currently and follow that as much as possible. I will ensure your fur babies get the exercise, playtime, love and attention that they need while staying with me.
