About: Conveniently located close to the dells (we do offer pick up/drop offs to and from hotels)in the country on a few acres with a large fenced in area! I also provide training (check out might river training profile) as well as package deals for walks and daily let outs ..just ask! I love taking care of pups in my home just as one of my own furry family members. I have a degree as a vet tech and in canine obedience and behavior! I have been boarding dogs in my home and pet sitting for over 25 years. I also ran a wonderful dog rescue for almost ten years giving me a wide variety of experience with many situations and behaviors. I love being able to help people with knowing their pup is in the best of care so you can enjoy your Vacation or not add more stress in a time of sorrow or whatever the situation may be that brings you to needing dog sitting! I also own my own business doing interior painting so have a very flexible schedule. I love being able to be flexible for you and for your pup I have a fenced in yard, can separate and/crate dogs as needed. I do offer for them to sleep with me at night and be spoiled. I will take them for rides, hikes, to the store all if applicable!

About: I've always been a huge dog lover, tried to take in every stray as a kid, I grew up around dogs like basset hounds, Labradors, poodles and beagles. I've dog sat for boxers who think they're lap dogs, I've sat for younger pups, middle aged dogs, senior dogs, small dogs and big dogs! I go on frequent walks, play tug a war, play fetch, snuggles and affection. Give dogs medication if they need it, whatever makes the dogs happy! I'm very fond of cats as well I love all the different cat personalities and just being able to have some calm moments and snuggle with them. I'm a wife, mom and accountant by day but Thursday-Sunday I have more flexibility to soak up extra pet snuggles. Watching other people's precious pups/cats allows me more animal loving time. I treat all pets just like I would my own pup or kitty cat lots of snuggles, a few treats, safe walks making sure harnesses or leashes are properly worn and make sure they are always in a safe environment.

About: I have been an animal lover ever since I can remember! I worked at Sondel Family Vet & absolutely loved it! I had to unfortunately leave due to having my first child. I always enjoyed spending my days interacting with owners and their pets to make sure they were provided with the best care (While also giving them extra love.) I have also had many pets throughout my life; including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs & bearded dragons. I even recently fostered my first dog who got adopted a few weeks after I took her in! I have worked on farms with cattle & have also taken many equine classes at UW-Madison. So yes, I have quite an extensive resume working with animals! Our evenings & weekends are usually always open. I am a student on break until January 20th. I also work in the evening, but am willing to schedule around this time! Nothing is too much of an ask for your babies! I will always follow directions attentively while also treating them like my own. I also have a 2 year old which will end up needing to tag along with me sometimes. So we know to have boundaries when it comes to her. I am aware of how to safely introduce them as long as you are comfortable having your pup around her.

“Amber has been so good with my dog and very responsive. Would highly recommend.”

About: Ever since I was little, I loved taking care of animals. I just recently left my job, and as I look for a new one, I’d like to take care of a dog in order to get used to the dog-mom life! In the past, I’ve dog-sat many friends and family’s pets. When I was growing up, I had two dogs: a Brittany spaniel and a German münstelander! Both beautiful dogs who I loved and adored. I’m available any week day or night to take care of your beloved pet as I look for a new job! On the weekends I enjoy traveling. I have a fenced in yard, with plenty of space to run around in and play fetch. I especially love walking, brushing and petting dogs, so they will be very loved in my home!

About: I am very experienced with caring for all sorts of animals. I have worked for the biggest Pet Resort and Day care in the Madison area.

I am a stay at home fur momma also a small Buisness owner who works from home. I have two fur babies myself Draco (4 year old Australian Cattle) and Tank ( 13 year old Shei Pei Mix). Their health and activity is number one and yours should be to. There are questions I am going to ask you depending on how many pups there are. Mainly I will learn your routine and your habits. I will also ask medications, feeding schedule, temperament, commands that your pup knows ect. These questions will be asked no matter if it is in my home or yours.

About: I have had dogs since I was to young to remember! My passion has always been making dogs happy!

I work a flexible schedule: available to check on cats and dogs throughout the day, board pets in my home, or stay with your pet as needed. My home has a spacious backyard with a park very nearby. Your pet would be kept on a leash, but would be provided with plenty of walks and outdoor time. I have an older cat who is friendly with all dogs.

About: I am flexible, loving, and communicative. I’m punctual with schedules, feedings, walking, etc. and I will assure your fur babies have the time of their lives with me! I work quite infrequently, so my schedule is relatively flexible. I am often available morning, noon, and night, and have no problem commuting to offer help. My ample free time allows me to stop in and check up on your pets multiple times per day if necessary. I love to provide photo updates and texts to pet parents. Although I don't offer in-home care, I foster a loving environment in any client's home and with any pet I take care of. My love for animals is tangible!

About: I've always had dogs growing up. I love to be outside and active, so having a pet makes it that much more enjoyable. I have a 1 year old puppy who loves to play with others in our fenced in yard. I'm currently working Mondays, so I have more time available to spend with your pup. My family also is home full time to always be here to help. I have a fenced in yard and a dog friendly puppy to play with while they are here. Lots of freedom to run and play.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, having up to 4 at a time. I enjoy playing and showing dogs lots of attention and affection, and I even live 10 min away from the local dog park. I always keep my dogs on schedule and reward with treats. None of my dogs have ever shown aggressive behavior because it’s HOW you raise your dogs and not based off the breed type! Right now I am only offering walking services. I run my own online business, so my schedule is extremely flexible to suit you and your dogs needs. I have 2 dogs of my own that just turned 2. They are both high energy, so I know the importance of getting their zoomies out so they can relax at home. I have 2 friends dogs (Brody and Ghost). I recently moved to an apartment, so walking and running have become an important part of our lifestyle. I’ve even taught my pups how to run on the treadmill! Lol my dogs are allowed on furniture, but are kenneled during the night.

About: I love dogs; no matter the size, shape, or color! I have a 1 years old golden retriever; he was so stubborn on the leash, but after working with him he is a great listener and walking partner. I can’t wait to hear from you! I have off 3 days a week, Sunday-Tuesday. Taking care of your pet will help me stay busy on my days off and keep me active. Interactive toys and games are my goldens favorite thing. We play fetch 3-4 times a day and love running up and down the stairs in my building.

About: I’ve been around animals all my life, big and small. I’ve had a variety of dog breeds in my lifetime including Rottweiler, Cane Corso, Australian shepherd, beagle, and cats. I love animals so I thought this would be a good way to have fun I’m currently in college but I have a lot a free time between classes and after school that I’m trying to fill with some activities I do know general care requirements for animals but otherwise I will follow and specific instructions given to me when over at a clients home
