House Sitting in Ourtown

“Patty watched our dogs Ted and Jax and cats Jinx and Inky for 5 nights and 6 days and she stayed in our home. We got numerous updates, pics and videos. She did an amazing job! Our Teddie is very sensitive to people he does not know and she got him to warm up to her within hours!! We had Patty come for a meet and greet a few months ago and we instantly knew she was a wonderful animal lover, as well as a super awesome human being. She even had music playing for our babies when we got home, very nice touch. My house was spotless also! Patty THANK YOU. We already have her booked for another sitting and will continue to have her sit our fur babies.”

About: Premium Pet & Flock Care Tailored for Every Life Stage As a trusted and experienced pet care provider, I specialize in personalized sitting services for large-breed pups, cats, and their smaller furry friends — with added expertise in puppy training, compassionate senior pet care, and even backyard flock care for chickens. Your pets are unique, and so is my approach: I take time to understand each animal’s personality, routine, and special needs to ensure they feel secure, loved, and engaged while you’re away. From teaching puppies good manners and basic obedience, to gently caring for older pets who need extra patience and attention, to providing thoughtful care for your feline family members — I deliver professional, reliable care that goes far beyond feeding and walking. And for families with backyard chickens, I bring years of hands-on experience as a seasoned chicken owner. I can provide attentive care for your flock — ensuring they’re fed, their coop is secure, and they stay safe and healthy until you’re home again. 🐾 Puppy Training: I help reinforce basic commands, house-training routines, and leash manners, giving your young pup the best start in life. 🐱 Cat Care: I provide gentle, attentive care for cats of all temperaments, making sure they receive the affection, play, and routine they need to feel safe and content. 🐾 Senior Pet Expertise: I understand the special needs of aging pets — from administering medication and assisting with mobility to creating a calm, stress-free environment for rest and comfort. 🐓 Flock Care: As an experienced chicken owner, I know how to care for backyard hens and ensure they’re well-tended and secure in your absence. 🐾 More Than a Sitter — A True Companion: My services are designed to give you peace of mind and your pets (and chickens!) a trusted friend they can rely on. You’ll return to a happy, healthy, and well-cared-for family every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide loving, attentive care around the clock. My flexible schedule means I can easily adapt to each pet’s unique needs — whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or administering medication. Because I’m home throughout the day and night, pets in my care enjoy consistent companionship, plenty of interaction, and a stable, comforting environment that feels like home. I’m able to maintain their familiar routines and give them the one-on-one attention they deserve, so they’re never lonely or stressed while you’re away. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine — it’s at the heart of my everyday life. I care for pets in my home by providing round-the-clock attention in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they feel like part of the family. Pets enjoy plenty of playtime, outdoor exercise (especially for large-breed dogs), and cozy resting spots. I maintain their regular feeding and potty schedules and offer lots of love, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day and night. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I tailor each visit to their pet’s routine and comfort level. This can include daily walks, fresh food and water, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration if needed, and overnight stays for pets who do best in their familiar surroundings. I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and relaxed — and I keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every animal with the same care and devotion I give my own — because they deserve nothing less.

“Jasmine was great- she provided updates & made sure both our dogs were loved on while we were gone. We look forward to having her back!”

Katie K.

“Travis was great! He took great care of Arthur and even took him for a walk! I would highly recommend Travis.”

McKenna M.

“We needed care for our 10 week old puppy and Judy took wonderful care of him. It was nice to have a meet and greet before leaving our puppy. After this meeting we felt comfortable leaving our puppy in Judy's care. Turns out our puppy had a wonderful visit and was nicely socialized with three other dogs in Judy's care. During the visit many photos and text messages were exchange that we appreciated very much. When I picked our puppy up, I could tell Judy really listened and shared some comments\observations with us. Would highly recommend Judy and will certainly reach out again when our puppy needs care. Thank you to Judy and her sister!!”

Linda M.

“Sally was kind and considerate! She sent updates often and was very good with communications and being flexible for our house sitting. She is very nice and personable! Highly recommend her!!”

“We were out of town, just for an overnight, but the weather became questionable. Jessica was very flexible and let us know if we needed to postpone our return that she would take care of Ruby!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the years. I have experience with puppies and older dogs. I would love to help you with letting your dog outside a few times a day as needed. I’m working from home with a very flexible schedule. We just got a kitten so we would need to make sure they are compatible. He is very friendly but scared of new people so he will probably just hide the majority of the time. I have a long tie-in rope in my backyard for dogs and can also walk around the neighborhood. I can also care for your pet at your house.

“Crystal was great! She played with my dog, took her for walks, & snuggled with my cat. She cleaned up after herself, scooped the cat box even though she didn't have to & she even ran the vacuum! I would most definitely hire her again.”

Kate C.

“Makenna went above and beyond and took such good care of our cats and dogs. Our pets LOVED her and actually missed her when we came home. Our German shepherds can be a bit demanding when it comes to attention and neediness, but Makenna was an absolute pro. She even tidied up so our house was actually cleaner when we came back than when we left. We can't recommend her enough and will definitely be re-booking her for any future trips (and possibly some drop-ins now and then because our dogs miss her).”

Lucas A.

“Alyssa took good care of our Roxy. I appreciate her coming to our home ahead of time to meet her and making us feel comfortable knowing she was being watched over. We are already booking her again!”

About: I have had the most pleasure of growing up with dogs and receiving the endless love they give you. Although, I have no professional experience but I have learned how to handle dogs, feed them, walk them, teach them skills by always having dogs in my household. They deserve so much love and I want to do everything in my power to make sure dogs and every animal receives that. I am available after 4 for dog walking and dog drop ins! I will try to be as flexible and accommodating to your pet(s)! I have a dog myself and after work I like to take her on long walks and on my days off. It would be the perfect time to take care of your pet as it fits in my schedule! I live in a pretty safe area with not a lot of traffic. I make sure to keep the dogs or pets on a leash and be aware of my surroundings!

About: Animals are my life. I’ve grown up surrounded by pets, and my love for them has only deepened into adulthood. I’m passionate about learning, understanding, and caring for all kinds of animals—whether they have fur, feathers, or scales. My pet care experience includes caring for my own pets, helping out family and friends, volunteering, and working in professional settings. I’ve worked at Dogtopia of Maplewood, a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, and I’m currently on staff at the Sheboygan Humane Society, where I work closely with dogs of all breeds and personalities. I also spent last summer caring for a family member’s five French Bulldogs. My partner, who was deployed previously and just came home and I have two dogs of our own—Artlet, a playful and sweet German Shepherd/Lab mix. She’s lived with me in my college dorm the past two years and absolutely loves socializing. I train and exercise with her daily, and she truly pushes me to be my best. We recently added “Packer” a now 7 month old Husky, he’s a spur of energy and smart little guy. He’s still training basic obedience and is very socialized - he has that husky attitude and likes to talk back and make sure his opinion is known. My passion for animals led me to study Animal Science in college, with the goal of becoming a certified dog trainer and eventually working in veterinary clinics. While my current college doesn’t offer that major, I continue to take professional dog training courses online to keep advancing my skills. In addition to dogs, I’m also experienced with small animals and reptiles. I’ve owned bunnies, guinea pigs, chinchillas, ferrets, snakes, bearded dragons, and more. I even worked at a reptile breeding facility, giving me hands-on experience with a wide range of lizard species. I offer a guest bedroom that provides privacy and separation from my dog, ideal for small pets who may need a quiet space. I also have a playpen for supervised time in the living room or outside on the grass, perfect for bunnies and guinea pigs to nibble and enjoy some sunshine. I ask that small animal and reptile guests come with a travel cage or carrier, though I do have a few tanks available: • 40-gallon tank (formerly for my snake) • 20-gallon tank (used for a feeder rat) • 10-gallon tank (used for a hermit crab) I’m also able to provide some substrate, hides, heat bulbs, plants, food bowls, etc. Whether your pet walks, hops, slithers, or scurries—I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I work Part-Time M-F (10:30am-4pm) and when I’m home, I’m able to provide consistent, hands-on care Whether it’s feeding, playtime, administering medication, or just keeping your pet company, I’m home and available to give them the attention they need. My schedule allows me to accommodate special routines, last-minute bookings, and plenty of one-on-one time—your pet will never feel rushed or ignored here! Dogs: I tailor each pet’s care based on their needs, age, and personality—whether in my home or yours. If your dog stays with me, they’ll get lots of love, structure, and playtime. I have two secure outdoor leashes for potty breaks, and my apartment complex has a private, onsite dog park just for residents—a safe and fun space for dogs to run and play. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks around the neighborhood, and if your pup loves fetch, I’m always ready to play! For puppies, I’m happy to help with crate training, potty training, and basic manners as part of their daily routine. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your exact instructions and keep their routine consistent, making sure they feel safe and loved in their familiar environment. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Cats: I provide calm, personalized care that keeps your cat happy, healthy, and stress-free—whether they stay with me or I visit your home. In my home, your cat will have access to a private guest room that’s completely separate from my dog, ensuring a peaceful environment. The room is equipped with a brand new cat tree, tunnel, litter box, toys, and freshly washed blankets for each guest. I also have a cat carrier if transport is ever needed. I take time to learn your cat’s personality—whether they’re playful, shy, or senior—and adjust my care to match their comfort level. If I’m caring for your cat in your home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I handle feeding, litter box maintenance, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I understand how sensitive cats can be to change, so I move at their pace and provide regular updates to keep you in the loop.

About: I worked for the humane society for 1 year and there I worked with a range of dogs, including pits, puppies, seniors, special needs, and ‘behavioral’ dogs. I also know training to an extent! No dog is too much for me! This is my full-time job, along with taking care of my own animals at home! I have a very flexible schedule and I am willing to work with any needs and I can do overnights. In my home, my dogs have electric collars to make sure they do not run off. I also keep an eye on them while they’re outside. They are fed on a schedule and also walked one on as well. My cats are also fed on a scheduled, daily litter box changes, and of course play time just like my dogs. In a client’s home I will do what they prefer so that they’re comfortable with me! I am responsible and respectful of others property and items, as one should be!

About: **Note right now I do travel from north of Milwaukee, to Door County from Lake Michigan to Wisconsin Rapids area. I was born and raised with St Bernard’s, Irish Setters and miniature poodles as well mutts, ducks, cats, birds etc. I have continued to have pets in my life through my adulthood. The last of my pack of 5 has now past away. I love dogs so much I volunteer in the pet community and have a non profit to help educate, maintain and build off leash dog parks. Responsible pet ownership is very important to me. As someone who had a pack of 5, all sizes, breds and ages and health, understand the need to have someone you trust care for your pet, at least as good as you would!! Rescue, special needs and seniors have a special place in my heart ❤️🐾 I look forward to meeting you and your fur family!! I have a flexible schedule working remotely from my home. I usually know what I have to be in front of the computer for at least a week in advance and work around where I need to be and when. Because I work remotely I am able to stay with your pet. Let’s set up a meet and greet to get to know each other before you need my services. Your fur family is a priority. I love to share time with your family. If they want to play, or snuggle or just know someone is there. I am flexible. I work remotely the majority of the time giving me the opportunity to be with your pets the majority of the time. I also limit the amount of other families I care for at one time, so I can give more of my attention to your family. I follow your rules, or example allowing them or not on furniture, specific snacks, or okay time routines. If you allow I’d love to snuggle with them through the night in bed with me.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 8. I pay attention to all the pets that I care for. I also am very good at attending to dogs with anything they need. I am looking to do this full time and I am flexible with anyone’s schedule. I am home most of the time except to run errands. I have a big house and big yard that is fenced in. I live 5 minutes away from a big dog park. I also live with my mom and two of my siblings. There are four medium sized dogs that live in this house and enjoy playing with most other dogs.
