Dog Sitting in Onalaska

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly love caring for them. I grew up with a variety of pets including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and bunnies, which gave me a deep appreciation for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience providing pet care, including overnight stays, administering medications, and keeping pets comfortable and happy in their home environment. I always focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine—whether that’s mealtime schedules, daily walks, playtime, or a bit of training and structure. I’m also experienced in caring for senior pets and can support their specific needs with patience and care. My goal is to treat every pet like family and give you peace of mind while you're away. I can also send you daily updates/photos of your fur babies so you know they are being well taken care of! I have both a dog and cat that I take care of every day. My dog is a one year old energetic lab/springer mix and I have a one year old orange kitty. I love getting outside and having playtime or going on walks with my dog and playing with my cat. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, following any specific instructions you provide—like feeding schedules, medications, or routines. When pets stay with me, my home is set up to be a safe and welcoming space where they can relax and feel at ease. During drop-in visits, I’m respectful of your home and make sure to keep everything just as I found it. In all cases, I take the time to build trust and move at each pet’s pace to ensure they feel secure and loved. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets.

About: I’ve fostered dogs since I was in fourth grade, sometimes multiple at a time. Varying in size and age, sometimes cats as well as dogs. I am currently a junior at UWL and work an on campus job. I am going to school full time and my job does block off some of my time but I am willing to work my schedule around the fur babies. I live in the dorms so I will not be able to take the dogs into my home but I can easily take care of them in your home and easily crate if necessary. They will be provided with plenty of love and attention.

“Bella was so wonderful! She came and kept Boone company while we were at a wedding in town. We felt safe and comfortable with our dog in her care. It was nice that she sent pictures and updates too! Thank you again Bella!”

“Jennifer is a wonderful sitter who took our dog for a walk after feeding him. She is highly responsible and caring and I plan to have her help out often. Thanks so much Jennifer!”

“We were so fortunate to have Megan as our pet sitter while we were out of town. We have two young cats, and this was the first time we were going to be away from them. Megan took the time to play with them and gave them attention so they weren't lonely! We received daily updates as well. We would absolutely recommend Megan to anyone in need of a caring and considerate pet sitter. She was wonderful!!”

About: My love for animals started when I was young. I would dog sit here and there when I was little and as I grew up I started taking on more serious, committed pet sitting jobs. I am willing to look after a variety of pets. Myself I have 2 dogs, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and 2 chickens. I also am a part of a foster group. I love staying busy and I love dogs even more! I currently work full time between my three jobs but my schedule is pretty flexible. I mostly take on jobs where pets do not need someone there 24/7. I don’t take pets into my own home because of my own dogs. I also have many small animals and I don’t trust others pets around them. I like to keep the dog in their home so they are more comfortable with their surroundings.

“Kiana was amazing during her drop in visits with our cats. She was able to get them to play and eat treats. She kept the litter boxes clean and the kitties happy. She even watered my plants! Kiana is a great communicator and I will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have dog sat for 4 years now! I can take care of any size dog. I am working full time 8-5 M-F. I am able to come home during lunch to take the dogs out as well with your request. Happy to stay overnight, and I am fine with sleeping on the couch. Weekends I am happy to stay at your house full time. Will ask for approval when I leave the house unless permission is granted before hand! Let me know if you want pictures of your pups and updates, or if you need time away from the dogs I can take care of anything without updates. Please give me any details regarding food, routines, medicine, and other duties you would like me to complete! I clean up when I leave as well, so everything will look the same as when you left! :) I have taken care of my two family dogs since a very young age. Dogs love me, and I love them. I would be very happy to take care of your dog/dogs when you have other business to attend to. I graduated Viterbo Spring 2024 and have a full-time job, but I am able to let the dogs out at lunch during the week and stay overnight as well. I am completely free on weekends, and would love to spend my free time caring for your awesome dogs. I would like nothing more than to offer you a cheap alternative to a kennel for your dogs on weekends. I provide care to other dogs by responding to their needs, giving them space, attention, and of course playtime whenever they need them. I love to go on walks with dogs, and I learned different techniques to respond to different behaviors at the Coulee Region Humane Society. When meeting for the first time, it is important that I can recognize the body language of the dogs to ensure their comfort and safety as well as my own safety. Meet and greets before sitting are highly recommended.

About: Anything you need I’m here for it! I have cared for dogs with immobility and special needs, blindness and deafness, as well as rescues. I have walked, sitted and boarded for WAG for over four years. I work at a pet care facility from 4-10:30 I am able to come check on your pup in my home (I have a roommate that will check on fur babies and make sure they aren’t getting into anything. I have my son the second and fourth week of each month for those whose pets are not child friendly. Overnights are more than welcome whether he is here or not because he gets in his high chair after he is done playing in his room when he wakes up so he’s not in their way until about 9:30 AM! I have a giant fenced yard and everything is typically put up due to having kids around the house and a habit of making sure everything is put away.

About: I have had multiple pets throughout my life! I currently have a crazy staffy myself right now!! I have worked at a doggie daycare as well for about 3 years! I currently am working at Mayo Clinic! I always feed and let my pup out in the AM and sometimes on break if I have time I will visit him! After work we go for a walk if the weather is nice! I always let my pup out in the AM and a couples times in the afternoon so your pup would receive the same!! Walks are a must as well!

“we had a great experience. ayden came over one day to meet the birds and see where their food was stored. each day she sent us a message after her visit. she also sent us pictures. it is hard to find people who are comfortable with birds and Ayden cared for our flock. she even noticed a box that we had delivered to our porch and she put it inside for us.”

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!

“Molly was amazing! I’m so glad that I found her and I will definitely be using her again in the future for our pups. From the start, she was so professional and kind. Then when she met our pups - and the human family members - we saw that she’s the same way in person! You can tell that she truly cares and enjoys dogs. She was very respectful of our home and receptive to any requests that we had. Her communication is top notch. Above all though, we could clearly tell that our dogs had FUN with her and enjoyed their drop in visit, which is what mattered most!”

About: I am an animal lover. I have had cats my whole life and dogs for about 20 years total. My "children" are my 3 cats and German Shepherd. I will treat your animal like my own. I do home visits, home stays, and walks. Don't put off your vacation because you don't want to leave your beloved animals. Let me take care of them! Thank you! - Samantha I am currently a remote freelance graphic designer and this allows me to set my own schedule and have flexibility. My husband and I do not currently have children so that also allows me to have a more open schedule without interruptions. I am not a person who has pets without considering their needs and happiness. I play with them, make sure they get medical care, medication, and make sure they feel safe and loved with cuddle time. I know that having a pet is a responsibility and a privilege.
