Wendy is attentive and caring with our senior dog! She went the extra mile to make Max comfortable and to keep us informed of how he was doing! I highly recommend Wendy.

Ashley always does a wonderful job with our dog Lincoln. She is always on time, takes him for a walk, and plays with him before she leaves. We have hired Ashley several times and each time she has done a great job. Reliable, professional, and caring. We feel fortunate to be able to hire Ashley.

Bethany did an awesome job with our cats! She was super reliable. She even came in bad snow conditions. We looked forward to our rover report every day. I feel Bethany went above and beyond in caring for our cats. It was nice to not worry about our pets while on vacation, knowing she was doing such a great job. Her pictures of the pets were really good and enjoyable to see everyday. We will definitely be using Bethany again and recommend you do also.

About: With my lifetime experience in animal care through my family’s farm and my time working in daycare/boarding/vet facilities, I’m ready to care for your pet as if they’re my own! I have also raised a newborn kitten and I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes. I am currently working full time during the week but I am available to do weekend visits and drop ins. After 4pm is also when I am free if that fits into your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a breezeway set up with a dog crate if needed. My friendly pup is ready to play all day or snuggle up and chill with yours!

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.

About: Ever since I was a baby, I’ve always had a pup in my family. I love dogs all shapes, sizes and ages. I have done walking, drop in visits, and house sitting for long trips. I currently have a one year old girl at home; my sweet and goofy Mabel. I’ll love your pup as I love my own! I’m now working part-time, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I am most available during the afternoons and evenings the weekdays. Weekends are possible if needed. I am open to whatever your pet needs! If they need feeding, walking, or just some spoiling of treats and love, I am more than happy to provide.

About: I have been a dog momma and lover for years. They are my world and I am theirs. Yours will be taken care of at the same level I care for my own! I am sincerely drawn to dogs when I see them. They've got so much love and joy to offer this world, how could you not? I have 3 labs currently and have trained all of my dogs from babies on up. We have almost always maintained a 3 dog household, they get walks everyday so long as the weather permits and plenty of playtime. Rest assured, your pup will be taken care of in the same respect and manner as I care for my own. I work from home so can make time for lunch time appointments if close enough to my home, I work until 5 so can be available in the evenings until 9pm, except for Wednesdays I have volleyball either at 6:30 or 7:30, but can still make appointments work in there. Also around most weekends except for family events here and there and two vacations we take a year. :) I protect them with my life. I love my babies so deeply and am so thankful I work from home so I get to be with them everyday. Yours will be treated no different. Dogs have so much love and joy to offer the world and they only deserve the same in return.

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!

My African Grey parrots were thankful for Becky’s company and seemed to enjoy her. We were grateful for her willingness to, not only care for our birds, but she also watered the garden for us!

About: I don’t have any professional experience yet, but I’ve spent years walking and caring for a reactive pit bull. He has taught me how to read animal body language, and how to respond to it when he is uncomfortable or nervous. I am currently working part time. I am available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Friday and Saturdays after 4 PM. Thursdays and Sunday I am available all day. I usually have the first and last Saturday of every month off, so I am available all day. I do work at a restaurant so there is a chance my schedule could change. I currently live in an apartment with my two cats. Unfortunately I can’t have any more animals in my home, but I am more than willing to come to yours!

Thank you for coming to check on Walle on a short notice! It helps to give him some time while we are gone for a few days to have some human exposure. He's SO used to me being home ALL THE TIME, since I work from home. I didn't want him to get too depressed while his dog brother gets to hang with us in St.Louis. Thank you again for stopping by to check on my handsome barn cat prince!
