About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a well-rounded and deeply committed approach to pet care. I am the owner of Oh My Paws, a pet-sitting business I started during college, and have worked as a kennel technician, dog handler for Can Do Canines, and am currently completing an apprenticeship at a Humane Society. These roles have given me experience with a variety of temperaments, medical needs, and behavioral challenges. What truly sets me apart is my background in dog behavior and training. I am currently studying to earn my CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed) certification and have experience training service dogs through the Falcon Fetch program. This gives me a unique ability to understand body language, reduce stress in pets, and ensure a safe, enriching environment during their care. Pet care is a central part of my life and something I prioritize in my weekly routine. I have very open availability on weekends (Saturday–Sunday), and I’m also available on Mondays if needed. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent and dependable care, whether it’s for daily visits, overnights, or last-minute bookings. Because I run my own pet-sitting business and am actively involved in training and animal welfare work, I structure my schedule around the pets I care for. I take the time to provide each animal with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and a calm, safe environment. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I begin with a detailed intake to learn about each pet’s routine, medical needs, triggers, and preferences, and I tailor my care accordingly. I use positive reinforcement and clear communication to build trust with animals, helping them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routines as closely as possible to reduce stress. I’m respectful of the home environment, leave things exactly as I found them, and provide regular updates with photos and notes for peace of mind.

“Our pup loved her!”

“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.”

“I highly recommend hiring David to take care of your dog while you are out of town! David was professional, kind, patient, reliable, and consistent. He was super patient, kind, and understanding of our quirky dog during our meet and greet. He sent me consistent updates and short video clips of our dog while we were away. We have had bad luck with other sitters having to cancel on us last minute due to medical or family emergencies. David was available relatively last minute (due to another sitter canceling because of a family emergency). Thank you so much David. Loki, Josh, and I appreciate you!”

“Allie pet-sat for our pets (2 doodles and 1 kitty) for three days with one overnight stay. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. She met with us ahead of time to get to know our pets, ask questions, get to know our preferences, and get the house key and last minute instructions. Her communication through everything has been fabulous, including regular updates while we were out. Allie was prompt, professional, and so so kind. We felt 100% comfortable leaving our fur babies with Allie, knowing they were getting extra cuddles, pets, and play time. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“Murphy Loved Vonnie! And she sent pictures. She's amazing! I will definitely be reaching out to her again. Best Sitter Ever. Totally made me feel comfortable leaving my best buddy with her. She is AWESOME!”

About: I’m active, reliable, and always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Plus, I provide frequent updates so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pup is in great hands! I’ve had experience doing drop ins for my neighbors energetic dogs while they were away and boarding my parents dogs for extended periods of times making sure they felt at home! Whether the dog is young, energetic, and loves going on runs or like slow, leisurely walks, I’m your girl! I am a recent graduate from the University of Wisconsin Madison and I studied marketing. I’m enjoying my summer post grad at home with my family and pets until i find a career in Marketing. I’m available any day of the week to take care of and love your pets! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, making sure they feel comfortable, well-fed, and, of course, loved! I have experience dog sitting for my neighbor’s energetic pup, so I’m used to keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy with regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also make sure to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Whether it’s a couch cuddle session or outdoor adventure, your pet will feel right at home with me.
