Pet Sitting in Rib Mountain

“Colleen is amazing. Our regular sitter had a family emergency and we needed someone to spend time with Jellyfish super late notice since she doesn’t like traveling. Colleen found time throughout the Christmas weekend to come in and play with Jelly, give her treats, and took some great pics to show that she was doing well. Thank you Colleen! ❤️”

“This is the second time that I’ve utilized Mackenzie’s dog sitting services and she did an excellent job once again. I am thankful that I can go out of town and not have anxiety about how my pets are doing. Mackenzie always shares photos of the pets eating, playing, and getting cuddles from her to show that they are doing perfectly fine. I will continue using Mackenzie’s sitting services in the future when needed.”

“Sarah was great! She was our first experience using the Rover app and it couldn’t have gone better. We scheduled her three days out, met her the next day, and then she was over checking on our dog the day after - what a quick and easy process! Sarah left us pictures and details of how the visit went and made sure to follow some instructions we left for her (our dog was having stomach issues at the time). Would recommend!”

Leesa C.

“Lara was absolutely perfect! They took awesome care in both my cats *and* four guinea pigs during their drop in visits. They left me tons of pictures and good notes each day. It was so comforting to know that my babies were in great hands during my trip 😊 I would definitely book again”

“Very prompt and courteous, flexible with any changes (we arrived home earlier than expected). House was as we left it, dog was well cared for, she even came an extra time in order to not have extended times between check ins. Would book again”

About: We've been taking care of select dogs for many years for friends and family, knowing that dog owners tend to worry about their pets when they're away and want someone who understands that and will care for their pets as they would. we've always had dogs until recently, I also photograph dogs for fun. We often board a dog who has seizures and requires medication and have watched other unusual dogs including puppies and dogs still healing from surgery. For many years we volunteered at the local humane society. We have a fenced in yard that our late beagle mix of 18 years regularly tried to escape and repeatedly failed. Dogs in our home are considered guests and are treated as such. I currently work from home, so letting dogs out regularly and giving regular attention is no problem at all. I'm done with work in the afternoon which leaves me plenty of time to get dogs out for exercise and socializing. Dorothy, my wife, also has plenty of daytime open for play time and extra loving. I work from home and regularly take play breaks, Dorothy, my wife is home most days and offers lots of love. We try to get to the dog park now and then on the weekends. We have a modest fenced in back yard with a wooded lot behind us, I walk dogs regularly in several areas. We keep also keep a toybox full of dog toys :-)

“We were visiting in Wausau for a few days and on a last minute basis needed to find someone to check in on our dog Josie and take her out for a walk. Kayla was great! Super responsive and communicative. She sent us a few photos to ensure we could see that all was well with Josie. We would have no hesitation to book again.”

“Kaitlyn did a great job. She did a great job with our dog who is very nervous around new people. She was patient with our dog. She did a great job of informing us after each drop in visit and shared pictures with us. I would recommend Kaitlyn.”

“This is the first time using Rover and Cassidy was wonderful at calming out nerves. She came and did a meet and greet with our fur babies last week and was right on time for both drop in visits and gave wonderful updates and pics of both. I will definitely be requesting Cassidy for additional drop ins in the future!”

Amanda C.

“Rhonda took very good care of our dogs Rex and Gus while we were out of town. Her visit was timely and she took care of feeding and potty them as instructed. We enjoyed the photos that she sent. Rex and Gus looked very happy. We would highly recommend Rhonda to care for your pets.”

Barb S.

“Megan and Patrick did great with my cats! They were well fed and comfortable when I got home. I got picture updates of each cat every time they stopped by. They were also quick to respond to any messages.”

Sarah S.

“She took great care of Ahsoka! Stephanie made sure that she got plenty of pets, when she came out of hiding of course! I would absolutely hire her again.”

About: Together we both have extensive experience with dogs of all ages and types. We have experience raising puppies, including those being raised to be future service dogs. Additionally, we have experience working with special needs dogs that are blind or require daily insulin treatment. We currently have two dogs, a 5 year old black lab and a 2 year old golden retriever. Both are highly socialized and get along well with dogs of all sizes/personalities. Ochai is well-known at the Rib Mountain dog park as being one of the sweetest dogs to people and dogs alike. We both volunteer our time at the Humane Society of Marathon County. Furthering our experiences with dogs of many backgrounds and temperaments. You may see a featured adoptable dog that is currently at the shelter in our photos. This dog is one we personally think may be a great addition to a family, especially one that already has a dog! Sometimes we send our dogs to daycare so we can open up our home to a shelter dog for the day and give them the relaxing day they deserve so much. Of course, on the days we do this, we aren't available to offer daycare/boarding. If you have a HSMC graduate pup from May 2023 onward we would love to see our old friends again! Please let us know and we will offer a free day of boarding or daycare as a token of appreciation for adopting a HSMC pup! When we confirm a booking you should know that at least one of us will likely be with your dog at all times, day or night. We both work from home quite often and before confirming a reservation we will check/adjust our schedules to make sure someone is going to be home during the day. It is important to your pup's experience and safety that someone is watching them at all times. NEW! Tractive GPS Tracking The safety and wellbeing of your dog is always important to us and we know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet behind. That is why we have added a GPS tracker to utilize. Not only will your furry loved one's location always be known at any given second, but we can also track their health to make sure they are doing well during their stay. -We currently only have one device, so it is not a guarantee your dog will be utilizing it during their stay. If you would like to guarantee it for your pup during their stay, we can accommodate these types of requests at the time of booking for $5/night or $25/stay. -We can share access to the tracker so you can know your pups location at any time and can check in on their health. It will show various information like their sleep activity and exercise information. This is only available if you reserve the tracker ahead of their stay. ---NEW! We are now privately insured outside of Rover. This allows additional and even more comprehensive coverage for your pup while they stay with us. Through PSA we are able to offer up to $2,500 in deductible free veterinary care if your pup gets hurt/ill.--- Our house features a spacious half acre yard that is fully fenced in. You will get plenty of pictures and updates of your pup under our care. Please let us know the frequency of pictures/updates you would like and we will be happy to show you how your pup is doing. If the weather is nice, I will try to get outside and take some pictures with an actual camera for you to enjoy. Our goal is to provide quality care and take care of your pup just as much as we do our own. We love helping people and having them know their pup is being well cared for when you can't be with them.
