House Sitting in Oconomowoc

About: I have taken care of my own animals and have helped out others as well! My love for animals is so high and I find a lot of joy in it! My work schedule is pretty flexible and I have lots of free time! I am usually free anytime after 11 tuesday-thursday, and every other day at anytime! I work well with any needs a family gives me! I love having a set list that the owner has and wants me to do just so the pup feels comfortable and not off schedule!

“Came home to a happy well taken care of pup! Tara even stayed extra for us with a long flight delay making sure our dog was fed, walked and loved. Thank you Tara for allowing us to enjoy our vacation stress free knowing our home and dog were well taken care of!”

“Haydn was amazing with our boys! I am so thankful for the great care she gave them while we were away, and will definitely book again the next time we need a dog/house sitter!”

“My experience in working with Taylor was excellent. Great communicator and most importantly cared for my 10yr lab while out in a work trip. Taylor went above and beyond what was required as she left the house spotless, and washed bedding and bathroom towels before leaving.”

“Cindy was great! Great communications and took excellent care and attention to my dog while I was away. Valentine got daily walks and play time; the pictures sent to me was very reassuring.”

“Vonnie is a blessing to us. Our girl has separation anxiety but she loves Vonnie. It allows us to be able to get away without worrying about Rosy being anxious and miserable”

“Katelyn watched my English Bulldog and Chocolate Lab while I was on vacation for several days. She took great care of my fur babies. She fed them, walked them, let them out several times, and gave them loves and pets. She sent good notes and several pictures and videos throughout the stay.”

About: I've lived with animals my entire life. Growing up, we had five dogs, four cats, bunnies and guinea pigs, snakes and lizards, fish, and chickens. Currently, while living at home in the summers, we have snakes, lizards, spiders, a cat, and three dogs, one of which is mine. My dog Winston is a service dog in training that my mom and I are owner-training. While I'm in no way a professional trainer, I can help with teaching or maintaining the basics with any dog. I'm currently home for the summer from school and waiting on an application for a part-time job. I am free most of the day right now, as I haven't started working yet. So, I can come over and take care of any pet's needs most any time. I can take care of your animals' needs any time, whether it's taking them on a walk, letting them outside, feeding, cleaning up, or playing with them. My dogs at home are crate trained, so if your dog also stays in a crate at certain points of the day or night, I can easily crate them.

About: Hi there! I am a former pet groomer with lifelong experience loving animals of all kinds! I have worked with senior animals, puppies, cats, and combative animals with professionalism and levity for 5+ years. I am super excited to get to know you and your animals. I am currently working summer camp jobs, and therefore have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am very excited to get to spend plenty of time with animals while I navigate a new move to the area! My previous job as a pet grooming assistant as well as babysitting animals in the past has given me a lot of experience in keeping animals safe and comfortable. I work extremely hard to understand animal behavior and body language in order to respect animals boundaries. I also prioritize safety when caring for other people’s animals because that is someone’s baby! It is important to me to do a job well, and that includes maintaining safety and care for all animals.

“Ramsey did an excellent job taking care of my two labs. I enjoyed regular pictures and updates on what they were doing. They were obviously loved; and very happy campers upon my return from a short trip. I felt confident in having Ramsey stay in my home, and really glad the dogs could keep their regular routine.”

About: Hi! I’m Alyssa, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly love. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs a good walk or a senior pet who needs a little extra care, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and easy to communicate with. You can count on me to show up on time, follow your pet’s routine closely, and give them the same care and attention I would give my own. I have taken care of my families pets since I was just a child. I have worked as a dog handler at a day care and I have worked as a veterinary technician for several years taking care of primarily dogs and cats of all ages from new borns to seniors. My duties included administering medication, feeding, behavioral training, and assisting in surgery. I have spent my free time volunteering at shot clinics as well as walking dogs at the humane society. I currently have two dogs, an American bull dog named Simba who I rescued and a German Shepherd named Luka. We go for walks daily around the lake. Whether you need daily walks, check-ins, or last-minute help, I’m here for you. Let’s set up a meet & greet—I’d love to meet you and your pet! 🐶 I currently work full time on a third shift schedule. I am available a variety of hours from the early morning as well as early afternoon into the evening. I take same day care requests, please reach out for last minute needs. I believe in taking care of others animals as I do my own. Making sure they are comfortable and their needs are met is my top priority. Building trust and providing a safe environment for them to feel right at home. During the summer months, if the temperatures are above 80°and/or the humidity is high, I will shorten walks to 15 minutes or less due to safety reasons. This will heavily depend on the condition of each dog. If the temperature is 90 or above, I will not accept dog walks as that is dangerous for your pets safety and well-being. If you’d like me to still drop in for a visit. I am more than willing to stop by to let them outside for a potty break.

“Cooper is a kind, reliable pet sitter. I felt completely comfortable having him spend time with my dogs and stay in my home. I’d definitely work with him again and would encourage you to consider him for your needs as well.”

“Tami stayed with Millie for about 7 hours. She took her for several walks and I appreciated the picture updates of Millie's day. Highly recommend!”

About: We recently moved back to our roots to a spot right off South St. In Oconomowoc. We had our dog sitting business in San Diego, CA and will miss our furry friends so much! My husband and I both love animals very much and have the perfect set-up to host. We enjoy morning and evening cuddles and allow dogs on the couch and bed :) We will take care of your pup just the same as we care for our own. We have a 4 year old mutt that we adopted 3 years ago who has brought so much joy to our life! She loves to play and enjoys the dog park/hanging around other dogs as much as she can. She loves walks around the lake as I am sure your pup will too! We both have experience taking care of other dogs and have dog sit for many of our friends and family members for extended periods of time when they are out of town. We can provide pictures as little or as often as you would like. Excited to meet your furry friend soon! I currently work 4 days of the week and have every Thursday off. My husband works remotely from home so he is able to tend to your pups needs all day. This schedule works great for our pups that need frequent potty breaks and attention. We have long leashes attached to our back deck so the dogs can enjoy the sun and being outdoors as much or as little as they would like without having to worry about them wandering off! Moxie loves basking in the sun and shade out there as I am sure yours would too! Water bowls always provided and refreshed as needed.

“It was comforting to have Kristin in our home pet sitting while we were away. Very professional and caring with our pup. It was a relief to know that if there was an emergency she could take care of it. Coco loves Kristin! Thank you for taking such good care of her!”

“Joey did a fantastic job taking care of our three pets. Two of them are elderly and require medication. I felt so much better leaving for our trip knowing she was staying in our house keeping them company.”

About: I have cared for animals my entire life and truly believe they are part of the family. Over the years, I’ve had hands-on experience with many different types of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, horses, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, amphibians, and more. Animals are my passion, and caring for them genuinely brings me joy. Whether it’s providing companionship, playtime, feeding, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I would give my own pets. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for by someone who is experienced, attentive, and truly loves animals. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I prioritize making sure animals receive attentive and reliable care. I am currently available during the day, which allows me to be flexible and attentive to your pet’s needs. On weekdays, I do drop off and pick up my two children from school (ages 8 and 10), but outside of those short times my schedule is very open. This allows me to provide consistent care, visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship for your pets. Because I structure my day around the animals I’m caring for, you can feel confident that your pet will receive dependable attention and thoughtful care while you’re away. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets, whether they are in my home or their own familiar environment. My home sits on nearly one acre with an unfenced yard, which allows for plenty of outdoor play and exercise. Dogs can enjoy time outside on leash, and off-leash play can be discussed depending on the dog’s training and owner preferences. Inside my home, my own pets have separate spaces, which allows visiting animals to be safely and comfortably separated if needed. This helps ensure a calm and secure environment for everyone. I am also happy to care for pets in their own homes. I am very respectful of clients’ homes and always follow instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s normal routine. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive care including feeding, playtime, companionship, exercise, and administering medications if needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away.
