House Sitting in Osseo

“Emma was awesome! It was the first time I have left my dog for longer than a day and she took excellent care of her and sent all of the updates! I will definitely be using her for future travels. ?”

“Janet is an outstanding pet/house sitter. We received daily updates with pictures of our precious babies (Kaine the finicky cat and Chester the special needs tri-ped pup). Upon our return, the babies were healthy and happy. AND... our house was very clean! We are very fortunate to have found Janet here on Rover. Our vacation was made much better because of her. I have already re-booked her and hope that she will be available. Janet gives us the peace of mind to travel without worries. I count my blessing! THANK YOU Janet!”

About: Hi there! My name is Michelle and Ive been a pet owner since I was a child. My family always had dogs, cats, pocket pets, and the occasional tarantula. Im the niece of a large animal veterinarian whose clinic I volunteered at after school and summers. Currently my husband and I are owned by a Labrador Retriever and an English Setter. We are active with a national English Setter rescue, which is where our beautiful boy came from, and run volunteer transports of dogs on their way to foster or forever homes. Im semi-retired! My routine is whatever it needs to be from day to day. Im a firm believer in being flexible to meet the situation's needs. Your pets would never be alone. We also have 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company and walks, along with outdoor play would help with mental stimulation.

About: Hi! My name is Grace, and I had the honor of being a proud pet owner for nearly 20 years. I had the opportunity to care for my dog, Marley, for 13 beautiful years, and my cat, Tigger, for almost 20! Growing up with pets taught me respect, responsibility, and safety around animals from a young age, and has allowed me to take part in many other pet caring opportunities since then! I give my time to all pets in my care, young or old, and it is always a fun time, every time! I have loved animals my entire life, and I will treat your pet as my own, along with giving them the best experience I would want my own pet to be given! I am currently available on select weekends, and can also fit time in during the week in the evenings, whether it be a walk, feeding, or even bath-rooming. I experience housesitting for others between 2-14 days at a time. I am a teacher during the day and a dance coach in the evenings, and due to this schedule, I am unavailable for drop-in’s between 7am-5:30pm. I am very patient when it comes to taking care of pets, and am attentive to their individual needs. I give appropriate reinforcement, along with discipline when needed. I am unable to care for pets in my own home at this time, but am more than willing to care in your own home, if needed!

“Celeste was absolutely amazing with our fur baby Teddy. He required medication twice a day, and she was able to provide him with that. She sent me pictures and let me know what was going on and it meant the world to me. I would absolutely recommend her if you want to have a very responsible, sweet and caring young lady to take care of your fur babies!!”

“Our experience with Destiny as a sitter at our home was fantastic. She sent lots of photo updates. All the animals, including our shy cat, seemed to love her company! Her communication is excellent and she made sure to check in prior to the stay to make sure we were on the same page for arrival as well as the day/time she left. She cleaned up the house before she left which was not expected at all but very much appreciated. We look forward to having her come back and stay with our fur babies again.”

About: Hello, my name is Taryn. I’ve had plenty of experience taking care of dogs as I have had dogs my whole life. Since middle school, I have been pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Not only have I had pet sitting experience with dogs, I have taken care of other animals as well. Those animals range from cats, bunnies, fish, and even chickens ! I will be able to provide you and your pets with the services you need! I just graduated from UW-Stout and am currently living in Eau Claire. I work at my main job on weekdays (in Menomonie). My hours vary, but they are usually only 7 hour shifts or less. I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays unless I already have another gig booked. I am able to provide your pet with whatever service they need, ranging from making sure they have enough food and water to taking them on walks and providing them with entertainment! I am available for dog walking and drop-ins before 5pm on Mondays, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and after 5pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. As for house-sitting, I am available most days as long as your pet is okay with being alone for a few hours! I attend in-person classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, but would have an hour or two to come back to the house to check in! I currently do not offer doggy day care in my own home, but I will be able to keep your dogs company at their respective homes. I can walk them, feed them, play with them, keep them company, and more!

“Tiffany was great! Very accommodating with the schedule I needed and took very good care of my animals. We were all very happy with her!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was about 8 years old with my own labs! This extended into caring for family, family friends and eventually neighbors and the occasional stranger’s dogs as I got older. Care has included walking, feeding, administering oral medication, bathing, and plenty of play and cuddle time. I’ve even worked in a doggy daycare previously! I’m comfortable around dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I am a current Master’s student commuting to UW-Stout Tuesdays-Thursdays, and work part time at a childcare facility on Mondays and Fridays. I would be available for a variety of afternoon or evening walks, potty breaks, or mealtimes! I would also be available on weekends for more in-depth care, stays and adventures. I live in an apartment that allows dogs, and am close to a variety of outdoor walking trails. Play time and cuddles are a free for all, but I tend to have specific areas for eating and sleeping for my dog. I am however comfortable with dogs on furniture, crating, or anything in between!

About: They say to do what you love and make a career out of it. I’m just grateful my career gets to be with dogs. I currently work at a doggy daycare/boarding facility in the area, so I am certified with dog and cat behaviors and have seen the ups and downs of our fur babies, and I am still standing here happy to tell you all about their stay/session. I have also grown up with working farm dogs and have gone on to own a Great Pyrenees who isn’t quite a working dog but sure does “work” like one. Thank you for reading through my short history and I am super excited to update this with my accomplishments to come! Pet care for me starts at dawn lol My pups come for cuddles and a potty break first sight of my eyes opening. Most of the time this does align with my work schedule in the 6 am timeframe. I do work part time and in those morning shifts end roughly at 12-3 however my partner is typically home before me to let the pups outside. While I personally do not have a yard, my family does own large pasture fields and hills that we will typically walk daily. These colder seasons do affect how often we go out due to the snow and unplowed hills. However in that safe weather we make it a main priority to keep active with our pups to maintain a healthy and long life for them. Safety is priority number one. Thankfully my family is pretty much set up for success here. We are knowledgeable for food, behavior, and play safety with dogs and cats. Signs and symptoms of common issues with dogs and cats, based off personal experiences, and possible fears of what ifs, urinary cat blockages and bloat, or bloody stools. And while I understand dog body language and know how to avoid those tense situations dogs can create, I am incredibly quick to say when we are going to the emergency vet, gosh forbid.

“We can’t say enough good things about Jaimie! Her communication was amazing and her care for our dogs was top notch! With her care and attention we were able to throughly enjoy our vacation. The dogs loved Jaimie and we would certainly hire her again - the dogs would be thrilled!”
