House Sitting Red Cedar

“Janet simply put, was amazing. This was the first time that our boys had someone else stay with them. We were of course a little apprehensive but Janet made us and the boys secure right from the start. We had an initial meeting that went very well and the 10 night stay went even better. Janet was tasked with taking care of our dog Duffy who is an epileptic and who had seizures and a vet visit on the day that we were leaving. She made us feel very relieved that the orders from the vet would be carried out...they were. She also took excellent care of the house. She was terrific at keeping us updated during our trip with many pictures and news from home. We could not have been any happier with her stay. The only problem is that someone who does such a good job is in high demand and unfortunately (for us) she is already booked during a time period when we again need a sitter. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed having Janet take care of your pets.”

“Kessia is great! She is very prompt to respond and updated us with pictures. Clearly our animals loved her as they were always right next to if not sitting on her! Had her do a one night stay and will have her back when we go on vacation!”

“Taryn did a great job watching Ari who has separation anxiety and can’t be left alone. The event I was at ran past the expected time and she stayed with him past when I was supposed to get back which helped immensely. Ari enjoyed her company and kept calm while I was out.”

“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!!”

About: Hello! Im Andrea. I Love animals of all kinds, shapes and sizes. Ive had pets my entire life cats, dogs reptiles, amphibians, small mammals. I have always been around animals and was taught from a young age that animals are an important part of our world and good for your soul. Id be happy to spend some time with your furry family member while you are away for a couple days or just need someone to check in on them while you're at work. I love going for long walks and would be delighted to take your best friend with me! I have to admit I have a soft spot for the bigger guys but definitely don't mind the tiny pooches. Hope to meet your fur baby soon! I love walking, going to the dog park and being outside. I try to make this part of my daily routine for my own dog and wouldn't mind adding a few more companions to the adventure. I currently work evenings but dont mind late night walks after work. I realize everyone has their own routine for their fur baby so I'll stick to that as closely as possible. I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them.

“Christine did a wonderful job house sitting with our Poodles & Yorkies - & horses!!! She sent frequent pictures of everyone lounging on her lap or playing around the house! This was a last minute booking as our trip plans were suddenly changed & we were going out of the country! It was reassuring to have an experience, mature person caring for our special “kids”! Thank you, Christine!”

About: My mom had rescue dogs and cats my entire childhood, and I always helped care for them as her oldest daughter. My mom adopted dogs big and small - as big as a golden retriever, and as little as a chihuahua, and often cared for multiple cats at a time. I grew up in California, where my family pets live with my parents - three dogs and two cats. My cat Momo moved to Eau Claire with me. My parents are planning to retire here, which will be a big move, especially with so many animals, so when the time comes, I’ll be helping move their pets. After living in Eau Claire for a month or so, I house and pet sat for my cousin while she was working on a project out of town for a few months. I bonded with her German Shepherd, Lobo, through long walks and runs, and fell in love with her tiny cat Duchess. Later that winter, while I was still doing the long-term pet sit for my cousin, one of her friend’s rescued a cat who had been abandoned. Due to her living situation, she couldn’t take it in immediately, so Lobo and Duchess had Zia as a guest living with us for a month or so. Beyond helping out my family, I have friends whose animals I help care for on occasion too. One friend reaches out when she needs to go out of town, and I will do check ups or come stay with her needy and sweet cat-named-Kitty. Another friend and I meet up to walk downtown with her cutie little dog Lotta. I record all my walks and runs on Strava, and enjoy posting photos and videos of my furry companions, so if I walk with your pup, I would be happy to share photos if you ask! Last summer, I looked after my co-worker’s chickens and garden for a 3-day weekend, so I’m open to learning how to care for other pets beyond cats and dogs too! I work part-time at the flower shop and my schedule varies week to week based on their need, but I have lots of free time between weekdays and the weekend - I always have a free Sunday. I can easily arrange my schedule to allow for plenty of time between walks, play time, or check ups with animals. I will be brand new to Rover and open to meeting pets’ needs and routines as their human typically would! Right now, beyond my cat Momo, the only other animals I care for are my cousin’s dog and cat when she’s traveling and needs me to fill in, and I care for them as she would - from feeding routines to play time, walks, and cleaning.

About: Whether it’s humans or animals I am a natural born caregiver. I’m a very proud cat owner of 2 little chunks named Lila & Milo. I also volunteer and foster cats with the Eau Claire Humane Society. Professionally I worked part time as a dog kennel attendant for 5 years where I handled all kinds of dog breeds. Young to old, small to XL. I am happy to say I’m trained in dog CPR! I also have experience administering medications to dogs (oral) and cats (oral and injectable). Caregiving comes very natural to me! I have 13 years of experience working as a certified nurse’s assistant. Happily taking care of the elderly in memory care settings and more recently as a hospice nurse’s assistant. I grew up on the island of Maui where my family had 2 dogs, over 15 cats, 7 hamsters, 3 guinea pigs, and numerous fish. I even had my own pet pig named Princess🥰 I’ve been an animal lover from the start! My dream is to open my own wildlife rehabilitation center someday. My schedule is extraordinarily flexible. I only work part time as a hospice aide. This means I have ample spare time to care for your pets! With notice, I can usually fit anything into my schedule. I prioritize hydration, especially in warm weather. I am knowledgeable and enjoy feeling prepared. I keep doggy bags, water bowls, toys, an extra leash, treats, etc in my vehicle so I always have access to those items just in case. I love taking dogs on walks or sitting outside to play with them (weather permitting). Should we happen to encounter an emergency situation, I do very well under pressure. I care for ALL animals like they are my own. They will be safe with me🙏🏻

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, I’ve worked with seniors and puppies and everything in between! I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare and have done lots of grooming for both cats and dogs! I am available night and day! I am easy to reach and am ready to come at any time! I am a stay at home cat mom! I have 2 cats of my own, I give them the best nutrition and brain stimulation! I am constantly researching the best for both cats and dogs!

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 schedule in the 6 am timeframe. Our family does always thankfully have one person home at all times, so while kennels are still utilized in our home for various situations, your pups can expect to stay in a home environment while here :) 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.
