Pet Sitting River Falls

About: My family has had dogs and cats since before I was born and I love meeting new pets whenever! I have experience helping train puppies when we would get a new pet and I would regularly walk my dogs around my neighborhood and trails for years. I love big, little, and in between size dogs! I am currently a student at UWRF, so school is my priority. But I do have a pretty open schedule so far Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday afternoons as well as Saturday morning. Additionally, I do not have a car so I will be either walking or biking to get anywhere so I can't go very far. I am unable to board any pets because of the rules my apartment has but I am available to go places to watch your pet.

About: Even at a young age, I am very trusted by friends, family, and my community. I have spent countless hours with all breeds, sizes, and ages. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart and I cherish each old and new relationship! I am blessed to still have my 12 year old red fox lab in my life, so I take care of her daily. I have many loved ones who sometimes need help caring for their pets and I am always first on their list to contact. I love to be outside and partaking in physical activity, so I would love to provide a service for walking/exercising your pets! When clients communicate with me how they want me to meet their dogs needs, I will do everything I can to meet that expectation!

About: I have taken care of various different pets ranging in various different breeds and ages. I have grown up on a farm and come with a very good work ethic! I have lots of flexibility with your needs and have experience with all different types of dogs! From anxiety to sick and elderly I have taken care of various different needs for pets and would be honored to accommodate your needs for your pets to! I currently attend school at the university of Wisconsin River Falls so day by day my schedule varies with my classes. But I can easily run to your house between classes. My weekends are usually very open, I do work a part time job but it’s very light hours with flexibility. I have lots of experience of giving medication to dogs and doing any special needs for them. I am more than comfortable walking or letting your dog out. I can also crate them if needed.

“Ashton did an amazing job visiting my old man Theo! It was a very last minute booking and i appreciate their help IMMENSELY! Seeing daily updates of him really helped me feel more secure that he was being well cared for, thank you again Ashton!”

About: After 5 years working hands-on at two separate professional daycare and boarding facilities, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes (from Chihuahuas to Great Danes), temperaments, and energy levels. I am comfortable with everything from high-energy puppies to gentle senior dogs. I am a senior in college studying companion animals, which gives me a deep, science-backed understanding of canine body language, behavior, and welfare. Whether your pup is an active breed needing a fast-paced walk, a shy rescue needing patient care, or a large breed requiring confident handling, I know how to keep them safe, happy, and calm. I bring facility-level safety standards, reliable routines, and absolute dedication straight to your home. I am currently working part-time during the summer, so my schedule varies. This allows me to be highly flexible and available for midday walks and in-home pet sitting! I am dedicated to keeping your dog's daily schedule intact by providing reliable bathroom breaks, feedings, structured exercise, and plenty of focused attention and cuddles. With my extensive experience working with dogs, I bring professional level safety standards straight into your home. I am trained in reading subtle canine body language, managing environmental triggers on walks, and keeping environments secure and happy for your pup. Your home will be treated with absolute respect, your dog will receive attentive care, structured routines, and plenty of love, and you will receive frequent updates to give you complete peace of mind.

About: I’ve been pet sitting and working with animals for the last 11 years and have lots of experience with 1-2 week stays, multi-pet homes, and even the occasional farm. I started working with animals since my first job on a horse farm when I was fifteen and have continued that streak to college where I’m currently studying animal science. From drop ins to long term stays, I’m excited to get to know your pets and give you peace of mind. I love dogs, cats, and any other animal you have. I currently work mornings at a local horse rescue and am a part time college student studying animal science, so I will be busy for a few hours each day to do chores or go to class. The rest of my time is open to care for pets. I am very detail oriented and will follow all instructions given to the T. I have lots of experience for animals with various needs and dietary restrictions and I know the importance of taking down all requirements and preferences.

About: I've had pets (dogs of all sizes, cats, fish) since I was 7. I currently have a dog of my own. I've trained her. I am always happy to watch, play, feed, bathe, and walk dogs. I am a stay-at-home dog owner, which means taking care of your dog is my main priority! Doggy day care and boarding is always available. I usually accept all dogs. I only refuse service if the dog has previously bit me and/or continued aggression. I have one very friendly female dog (spayed) who loves to make new friends and spend time with old ones. I keep dogs typically in the living area, uncaged. I only cage dogs if the owner requests it, and in a different room from the other dogs. I do have another helper (my fiance), as he also enjoys dogs very much. My walking route is usually around Glen Park, I change it up as needed to boost the adventure for your dog(s). **Water will ALWAYS be available and replenished for your dog(s). Food schedule based.**

“Austin did a great job of caring for our pups. They grew to love him very quickly. We will certainly ask him to watch our dogs again.”

About: I am an animal lover through and through! I work with and for animals everyday with my full-time job, so I have tons of experience! I have 3 pets of my own and I would love to care for your pets like they are my own. I have experience with all kinds of feeding, supplement routines, walking, training, etc. I can do things around the house as well. Pet care and ownership is reliant on routine, so I am very well versed. I can come before and after work and also on my days off, Friday and Sunday! I work a retail management job during the day. I make sure to keep an eye on pets and their surroundings to ensure safety as well as fun for the pet while keeping the home and surrounding area clean and as intended. Your pets will receive special care and attention. I can provide all kinds of enrichment and playtime and I’d love to spoil your furry friends.

About: I've grown up with dogs and have hands on experience caring for all ages, from puppies to senior pets. I’ve done puppy sitting for friends, currently volunteer with Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue, and previously volunteered at the local Humane Society. As a pre-vet student at UW-River Falls, I’m passionate about animal care and always provide safe, loving attention to every pet I meet. I also trained 4 service dogs through the FETCH program through Can Do Canines for one year. I also work at Bobtwon Pet Clinic, which has given me experience with veterinary care for the last year. As a college student, I’m excited to fit in walks and drop-ins between classes or after classes, and I’m also available on Saturdays for a couple of visits or walks. I have another job other than walking dogs and doing check-ins, so I work around those hours as well. I’m happy to care for dogs and cats for drop-ins or on walks, no matter their age—always making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

“Layne was kind and caring to our dog Star! She was very thorough in asking questions about Star and her habits. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care and would rebook her again for future visits! ☺️”

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and providing extra care for puppies and senior dogs. I am comfortable with all dogs. What sets me apart is how much I truly care about each pet’s comfort and routine. With 8 years of experience, I’m confident handling different personalities, from energetic puppies to older dogs needing extra patience and attention I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I have a big yard and always supervise outdoor time. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I can crate if needed and make sure every pet gets attention, exercise, and a stress-free experience.

“Valerie was absolutely wonderful as a drop-in sitter for our two cats! Not only did she conscientiously complete all instructions with care, she noticed details and proactively took initiative. Communication was outstanding with many updates, photos, and cute cat videos. She was insightful and sensitive to our cats' unique personalities, in tune with their needs and respecting their cat moods. She worked above and beyond, generous with her visit time, even bringing a fun cat toy that my kitties loved. We are selective about our pet care, and I am confident that our kitties were in the best hands!”

“Vanessa is a true cat-lover and our cat was comfortable with her from the first time they met. She took excellent care of him while we were away on vacation, followed directions, and I would highly recommend her to other cat parents.”

About: I have been animal sitting, more specifically dog sitting for two years consistently now, but have taken care of animals for 10 years. I tend to take on extended stays, which include taking care of the home. The longest stay I’ve had was two months for two sweet yorkies. Not only can I take good care of your animals, but my job as a nanny has honed my house keeping skills! I have two mini Aussie-doodles and an orange cat at home, my pride and joys :) all animals deserve a lot of love, and doing this job is a total win for us both! I am timely, clean, organized, and I LOVE taking soooo many pictures of all of the animals I get to meet. Meaning I will be sending you lots of photos you can treasure while you are away and when you get back! I am available for boarding any day of the week! I work 7:30-3 PM on Monday-Thursday, and 7:30-1:30 PM on Friday. I do not get a lunch break, so the animal would need to get through the day without being let out until after the above times. I am not busy without my out of work lifestyle, meaning I would be in the home (for boarding) when I am not at work. This would exclude time for going to the gym. Drop in’s are available any time I am not at work! After chatting and meeting with my clients, we will find the perfect routine for your fur baby! I understand each animal has a different daily routine and has different needs, so I can accommodate to that! I ensure quiet, playful, and gentle environments with lots of pets, cuddles and attention to keep the animals stimulated and happy.

“Alex was awesome with our chocolate lab Trigger! She communicates great, cares for Trig so well and Trigger absolutely loves her! She did drop ins while I was on vacation and we couldn’t trust her more. We 100% recommend Alex and will definitely be using her again!”
