Pet Sitting Onalaska

“Laura is the sweetest! I loved all the updates she gave me while I was away. My kitty who is on the shy side warmed up to her almost right away. I will definitely be requesting Laura in the future.”

About: Lifelong pet owner and animal lover. I have cared for and loved animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, and I am confident I can make your pet feel at home. I have prior experience watching everything from tiny Chihuahuas to 90 lbs German Shepherds. I am also highly experienced with anxious or nervous dogs and know how to give them the space and one-on-one time they need to warm up. I own a friendly, medium-sized dog named Raven who loves meeting new friends once they feel settled. To give you peace of mind, I send plenty of photo and video updates throughout your pet's stay so you can see exactly how much fun they are having! 😊 I work at an office in Winona from 6:30am–4:30pm Monday through Thursday. I work every other weekend (Friday through Sunday), meaning I am completely free for pet care on my alternating off-weekends. I am happy to provide extended boarding starting on my available weekends and lasting until the following Thursday. Please note that during the workweek (Monday through Thursday), I am away at the office all day, so your pet would need to be comfortable being left alone during my working hours. I do have a teenager that when home from school during the week can provide potty breaks. I recently moved into my own house on French Island, and my grandmother lives just a couple of blocks away. We have access to her fully fenced yard, and there is also a park about a block away from my house as well as many other open spaces to play. I will walk and feed your dog to your instructions and maintain their routine while staying under our care. I have experience watching a lot of anxious dogs, and every single one has warmed up eventually especially when they get one on one time the first 30–60 mins of their stay. It’s important to me that they are comfortable before introducing my pup Raven because new environments can be scary.

About: I have 2 lovely dogs who are my best friends! I take them all on walks almost every day, I have also trained them all, and feed them and play with them everyday of course! I love taking new pups for walks as much as my own. Im currently working part time so I would absolutely love to walk your dog any chance I can get! I also love cats and would love to care for your cat as well, I will play with your cat and cuddle with your cat! I have 2 amazing dogs of my own who love meeting and making new friends! I have a huge heart for dogs so im making a new friend as well! I also have the sweetest cat who I care for and I adopted him about a year ago. I spoil him with treats and new toys all the time!

“Araya is our go to sitter for our guy. She is caring, considerate, and communicative. She did amazing with updates and made sure our dog was always comfortable and happy”

About: I grew up with dogs and have had two dogs of our own for 11 years. We enjoy regular walks around our neighborhood and are experienced in giving vitamins and/or medication daily. I work full-time and am available to make trips home to allow bathroom breaks and home all evenings and weekends. I work full-time in La Crosse and am available in the early afternoons and evenings. Also available for an occasional trip for quick bathroom breaks/walks. My backyard faces a golf course, perfect for a peaceful and relaxing environment. Plenty of space to wander without the worries of lots of traffic or people.

About: Hi, my name is Megan. I have been volunteering at my local Humane Society, for over 2 years, so I’ve had lots of experience with so many different breeds of dogs! I enjoy all types of animals. Potty breaks I know are important along with tons of play time. I am able to learn/ adapt to your pets needs! All animals are wonderful in my eyes! Lots of pets and scratches, and belly rubs also included! I personally would love to be able to watch your pets. It’s my dream job I’d say! I’m very laidback, and have a calm personality . Also I’ll treat your pet as I would my very own. I work part time! So most days I am available to walk or watch your animals! Just message me to talk more about how I can care for your animal(s)! I would do anything for my animals. There is a fenced in big back yard! My 2 dogs love it. I keep my two dogs as healthy as possible! I love them like family.

About: I've had the honors of taking care of cats and dogs since I was 11 years old. I love animal sitting for my friends while they go on short get aways, or whether they just need another friendly human companion. I love animals so dearly and now own 3 cats. I hope to soon expand my fur baby count to 4 including a dog! I'm currently going to school part time so I'm unavailable mondays after 4:30 p.m., Thursdays 8:30 a.m. until 12 p.m., and am also unavailable fridays 8 a.m. until 11 a.m. Otherwise my schedule is pretty open! I'd prefer to animal sit in the owner's house but if needed, I have an open yard near the end of a culdesac. Theres one fence on the back lot of the yard, otherwise it's pretty open. I live nearby a few parks and trails where they'd be able to run, enjoy smells and feel free.

“Ella responded quickly to my service request and set up the meet and greet so we could connect on the details of Maisy care. I appreciated Ella’s confidence about caring for Maisy, she asked questions to be sure she understood the details I was sharing. I will be reaching out again when I need Maisy care!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all stages over the years and I am equipped to care for animals of every age. Most recently my dogs have entered senior status so I have lots of experience providing the care they need, but I am experienced with caring for puppies and adolescent animals as well. I am a student at UWL so I have a fairly flexible schedule. During the week my schedule varies with my class schedule but Thursday through Sunday I am most available, which is perfect for weekends away! I am unable to house animals in my home due to my landlord not allowing pets, so I will treat your animals and your home in a safe and respectful manner. I have pet-sat and babysat numerous times so I am a trustworthy and reliable source that will treat your pets with the care they need and deserve!

About: I specialize in hiking and outdoor adventures, but am more than capable of normal walks as well. I also take my own dog hiking every weekend, so I know the local trails well. I have experience working with shelter dogs, anxious dogs, reactive dogs, big dogs, senior dogs, and small dogs. My experiences with various dogs and trainers have given me a good understanding of dog body language. Under the guidance of licensed trainers I have worked through separation anxiety and fear-based reactivity with my own dog, and resource guarding with a family-owned dog. So rest assured that if I'm told a dog has any fears or triggers to avoid while on walks, I will take that seriously. I am comfortable with large dogs, even large dogs that pull. I am capable of giving dogs' medications as my own dog is on several for orthopedic surgical recovery, so I have quite a bit of experience doing so. For outdoor adventures, I have done various trail hiking with family-owned dogs, rescue dogs, and my own personal dog. In addition, I have taken several small dogs out boating. I have hiked parts of the Appalachian Trail and Superior Trail, spent weeks camping, and done countless outdoor adventures. I hike rain or shine! Choosing me you can be sure your canine companion will have a safe, fun, enriching experience in the outdoors. I'm currently in college so I am available after class which is most days after 12pm. After 2pm I am available for long hikes and walks. In addition, I take my dog on a 30 to 40 min walk at 5pm and available to take additional dogs with us. I take safety with the utmost seriousness. When going on hiking trails I ensure that I bring a pet first aid kit with me, collapsible water, and a spare leash for emergencies. I also have a vet hotline on speed dial as well as two local vets saved in my phone. In addition if we are traveling anywhere by car I will ensure the dog is safely transported as I own a variety of dog seat belts and car seats.

“Pleasant, respectful, responsible, messages fast, and caring! Definitely will hire again!”

About: I’ve been housesitting and petsitting family and friend’s animals for about 10 years now and would love to assist in making sure your pets are well taken care of while you’re gone :) I’m currently working part time throughout the week, therefore my schedule is open and available 7 days per week to assist in any way I can. I have experience working with pets that are crated, not crated, puppies, adults, require a fenced in backyard, walk on a leash, etc. in order to be prepared for any furry friend I may run into :)

“Took very very good care of my cats! Kept me updated consistently with pictures. She had left a very kind note on the counter for us and our cats seem happy as ever!”

About: Love all fur babies. Have been taken care of all sorts of critters since I was little. Love all shapes and sizes. Excited to start babysitting. I worksl from home full time and we are home most days. Walks and plenty of play time in our back yard would hapen all day. We have a nice big fenced in back yard and theee dogs and two cats that love to play. We love playing fetch and have lots of toys.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets and family friends pets since I was a kid. Friends and family relied of me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their furry friends! I’m currently a student at UWL so when I am not in class I have quite a bit of free time to do what is needed! I have an indoor cat that my roommates and I love to play with. We make sure to stimulate her physically and mentally to ensure she stays healthy. Of I take care of your pet I will make sure I do the same.

About: I have over 13 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, from raising puppies into adulthood to understanding how their needs change throughout different stages of life. I’ve learned how important it is for dogs to have healthy outlets for their energy, plenty of attention, patience, exercise, and a routine that helps them feel happy and cared for. I currently have a dog of my own, Reese, who I love taking on walks and runs, as well as three cats with their own unique personalities. Having both dogs and cats has given me experience understanding the very different ways animals communicate, build trust, and show what they need. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, high-energy dogs, and pets who may still be learning their manners or training. I believe every animal deserves patience and the opportunity to feel safe, appreciated, and understood. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, playtime, companionship, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I want to provide the same level of care I would want for my own animals. 🐾 With a flexible part-time schedule and a love for walking my own dog on the daily, I enjoy sharing fun, fulfilling walks with other dogs too. I’ve always been an animal lover and happiest when I’m spending time outside! I have a dog of my own, Reese, who I love taking on walks, runs, and little adventures, along with three cats who each have completely different personalities. Growing up around animals has taught me that every pet is different and deserves patience, attention, affection, and plenty of time to just be themselves. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and finding what makes them happiest—whether that’s an energetic walk, some playtime, exploring outside, or simply having someone there to give them attention. I’m also completely comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and dogs who may still be working on their training or manners. I believe they deserve just as much patience and care while they’re learning! My goal is to give your pet a fun, positive experience while making sure they’re safe, cared for, and getting the attention they deserve. 🐾

“Luke was very considerate and reliable. My cats loved him stopling by and he sent pictures during his visits. I will definitely be rebooking him again!”

About: I used to work at a doggy daycare and I worked with horses for about a year, so nothing scares me. I fostered a dog for a year until she found her forever home and now I have my own rescue. She is my whole world. I will treat your furbabies like my own because I know they are your whole world too. I work 2 part-time jobs with a lot of availibility/flexibilty. I typically work either midday or evening, but it changes daily. I would work well with a flexible schedule. We would go for many walks during the day. My dog loves to play so they can tire each other out. If comfortable with other dogs, we could visit the dog park.
