Pet Sitting in Plain

“Cilyr was attentive to the needs of my cats, willing to clean up after them more than I had asked, and careful not to stress them out more than needed. Sge also made a clear attempt to play and interact with each. Overall very effective, even if my cats were too shy to engage much.”

“Savannah is caring and compassionate, I have a peace of mind knowing Indie Rae dog is in good hands while I am working. She takes the best photos and I love that she takes Indie out for walks. My worry dissipates, knowing my dog is being cared for while I’m away. I am so grateful for Jorden and Savannah and happy to have met them!”

“Azaria is so responsive and understanding!! She let out 3 dogs for us with less than 24-hr notice. It was so nice to come home after a long day on the road to no accidents and happy pets. Thanks Azaria!!”

“Jayde did a drop in visit to give my cat his biweekly B12 injection. So less stressful than a car ride and a vet visit……I think my cat agrees!!!! Jayde is skilled, smart, intuitive and kind. Thank you Jayde, it’s always nice to see you!”

“We have used several different pet sitters on Rover and Alyia was by far the best! Took great care of multiple dogs with no issues or problems. Highly recommend.”

“Laura did a wonderful job of caring for our kitty while we were away and provided some bonus help for us like getting the mail and watering our flower pots! We appreciate her help so much!”

About: Hi! I'm Brook Gassman, a 24-year-old school psychologist at JYMS in Baraboo, and I'm passionate about providing loving care for all kinds of pets. Growing up with both cats and dogs, I developed a deep love for animals of all shapes and sizes. Currently, I own a sweet cat named Elby and am in the process of finding the perfect dog to add to my family. I've had years of experience caring for pets, from playful puppies to calm senior cats. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or providing companionship, I’m dedicated to ensuring your pet receives the best care possible. I understand the importance of trust and routine for animals, and I’m committed to giving each pet the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I look forward to helping you take care of your furry friends! I work full-time at the middle school in Baraboo, so my regular availability is between 6-7 AM and 3-9 PM. However, I'm flexible and can arrange to stop by outside of these hours if needed. I will care for your pet in your home according to your specific preferences and routine. My goal is to ensure a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet, and I’ll work closely with you to meet all of your pet’s needs.

“Wonderful all around! Will definitely use again! So kind and sweet to my babies! Was on time and had amazing communication with me! My babies were happy and well looked after! Pictures were sent every visit and made me feel at ease seeing them have fun!!!”

“This was our first time using Rover and having someone unknown let out our doggo. Rebecca did a wonderful job and even offered to go above and beyond. We are so grateful for her help and loving care! We definitely will keep her in mind for next time!”

About: Hello my name is Candida (Candi). I have worked in and with Rescues and Humane Societies throughout the State of WI over the last 30 years. I currently have 4 dogs and live out in the country with lots of room to run. I am very familiar with different behavior issues as well as how to work with your pets to get through those issues. This experience comes from fostering many high risk animals over the years. Your pet will be treated the same in my home as he/ she is treated in your home. If they go on your furniture, they are welcome on mine, etc. I am always willing to go the extra mile, if your pet needs a bath or a nail clip, I am happy to do that. I have experience with training, CPR, Giving Meds both by mouth and shot. Some of my friends lovingly call me the crazy dog lady because of my deep love for dogs, they have feelings and emotions just as we do and I always take that into consideration when caring for them. Given the opportunity I will show you that you can trust me to care for your baby while you are away just as you care for them when you are home. I currently work part time at my own small business so my schedule is super flexible and can be easily worked around your needs. This gives me the flexibility to give your pet all the time and attention they need while in my care. I have four dogs that are the sweetest babies. They get along great with all animals as well as kids. I do not have a fenced yard as we live on 80 acres out in the country, but I do have a portable temporary fencing that can be put up for outside time. We have a large area in the lower level of our home for inside play time. As I said earlier, when your pet is in my home, they will be treated just as they are when they are with you. I know how important routine is to their little minds. If you feed at a certain time, I will follow that routine. I know mine have a very set routine, they surely know when dinner time is. :o)

“Great communication and loved the photos/updates we got!”

About: I see dogs as one of the great additions to a family, in fact, I have always had a dog in my household. Neighbors have relied on me to do drop in potty breaks as well as over night pet sitting. I am able to take care of dogs of all age and size. Feel free to reach out to me to double check my availability! I currently work part time, therefore I am able to fit pet care into my schedule as needed. I am available week days and weekends. I live on 5 acres and own two friendly dogs, a 1 year old Golden Retriever and a 9 year old Labrador. I am diligent about making sure animals stay safe while having a little bit of fun.

“Kimberly did an awesome job with my two senior cats. Zeke didn’t lose any weight while I was gone and Willie was spoiled with frequent walks on his leash to the point that I probably can’t live up to his new expectations 🙄. Will definitely use Kimberly again.”

“Alex always does a great job! Our pups are always excited to see her and love to spend time with her!”

About: I’ve been taking care of my family dogs for at least 10 years. One of the dogs is a senior that needs medications. I’ve had experience with giving oral medications to senior dogs as well as training puppies. I am currently working full time as an EMT. Sundays and Wednesdays are good days for walking and taking care of pets who need it. I do not care for pets in my home but in the clients home I would respect the clients wishes in what I can and can’t do. I would definitely keep an eye on their pet to make sure no trouble was stirred.

About: My name is Beautiful, but most people call me Violet. I own one dog of my own, and really enjoy all animals. I am a certified dog groomer as well, and I have been grooming since 2021. I started boarding dogs in my home at the beginning of 2024, and have worked in a doggy daycare setting as well. With all my experience in the pet industry I am able to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for your pets. I groom dogs Wednesday through Friday from 10 to 5, and occasionally a Tuesday. I also groom Saturdays 10 to 4. The rest of the time I can dedicate to making your pet(s) feel as comfortable and happy as possible! I will always treat your dogs like they are my own with lots of love and care. I have a lot of experience with different personalities and temperaments of dogs, so I am able to provide the most appropriate care for your dog.

“Abby came to our home each day while we were on vacation to attend to our elderly cat and everything went smoothly! She was trustworthy and thorough - sent notes and pictures and we never worried about anything while we were gone. We would definitely book her again - we trusted her and appreciated all she did!”

About: Hi there! Animals have been a part of my life for over 10 years. I grew up on a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care from a young age. Over the years, I’ve continued to build on that experience in both personal and professional settings. I had the amazing opportunity to travel the country as a professional dog handler, showing dogs in AKC conformation shows. This gave me hands-on experience with many breeds and temperaments, and deepened my understanding of proper grooming, handling, and breed-specific care. I also spent five years working as a veterinary assistant, where I gained valuable experience with medical care, medications, and special-needs animals. If your pet requires medication or extra attention, you can rest assured they’ll be in capable and caring hands. In addition to pet sitting and walks, I’m happy to offer nail trims and other basic grooming care. I share my home with a sweet, neutered 15-year-old dachshund who’s incredibly friendly. While he doesn’t walk much these days, he enjoys riding along in his stroller and keeping me company. Today, I work in the human medical field, but animals will always hold a special place in my heart. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and becoming someone you can trust with their care. I currently work Monday-Thursday, which allows me to take pets Fri-Saturday, but I can be flexible with evening check-ins or walks during the regular work week as well. In your home, I respect your pet’s routine and your space. I’ll follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax while you're away. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, loving environment. I keep things clean, safe, and low-stress, with plenty of cozy spots to rest and room for play. My senior dachshund is friendly and relaxed, and usually sleeping.

“Tyler stopped in to check on our cat, Lexi, while we were on a long (17 day) vacation. He kept us up-to-date on his visits, made sure she had plenty of food, water and, most importantly, her treats! He even helped us out by picking tomatoes and zucchini from our garden and refrigerating them. We would not hesitate to contact him for our next vacation.”

About: I have started my animal career at pet resorts as an animal caretaker, while progressing to grooming dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments! I studied animal science for one year in college, before deciding to work full time as a groomer. I have had plenty of experience in training dogs, as I have trained two certified service dogs through Custom Canines Service Dog Academy in Madison. When taking care of your furry friend, I will treat them as my own pup! I can also offer nail trims, baths, and light trimming on a case by case basis :) I am working towards getting my dog training certification, so I am looking for a part time job and hands-on hours to sit for the CDPT-KA exam! I will strive to create a safe and comfortable environment with all pups and take extra time with the nervous/shy fur babies! I can accommodate to you as every person and dog is unique ❤️
