About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the calm, patient energy I bring to caring for them. While I don’t have formal dog-sitting experience yet, I’ve spent a lot of time around animals and naturally connect with them. I’m great at picking up on their moods and giving them the space or attention they need. I’m responsible, observant, and fully committed to making sure every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently focus on pet sitting full-time, which allows me to be flexible and fully present for each pet I care for. I plan my days around their needs—whether that’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I enjoy creating a calm, consistent routine that helps pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and particularly of the family. I have plenty of space for them to relax, play, and explore at their own pace. I keep a calm, clean environment and follow their usual routine as closely as possible—whether that’s mealtimes, medications, or special comforts they’re used to. I give them lots of attention, gentle care, and one-on-one time. My home is a peaceful space where pets can feel at ease while their owners are away.

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve helped look after dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from high-energy pups to shy seniors who need a gentler touch. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly rely on me because I’m attentive, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with their pets. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved, whether we’re playing, going for walks, or just relaxing together. Your pet will get reliable care and plenty of affection while they’re with me. I have 1 year dog kennel experience that inspired me to become a vet assistant to hopefully start my own commercial business in the future! Thank you for considering me and contributing to my experience it is greatly appreciated and your animals will be treated like my own! Boarding Capacity for personalized attention in my home • 1 dog I’m in school studying to become a veterinary assistant, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. My class schedule is flexible, giving me lots of availability on weekends and most weekdays. Since animal care is already a big part of my life, I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, and reliability for your pets. I do online. I have a safe, calm home with a fenced yard, two friendly dogs, and cats that are very dog-friendly and do not bother visiting pets. If your dog prefers space, I can easily keep my pets completely separated at all times. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine. I follow your feeding, potty, and exercise routine so they feel secure and settled. I maintain structured drop-off and pick-up windows for boarding to keep transitions smooth and stress-free. If you don’t really have a route with pups and are a go with the flow person like I am I can provide food,8-10 potty breaks, and two walks. Your dog’s stay includes: Safe & Comfortable Nighttime Setup • Cozy dog room with: • Dog beds • Fresh blankets & toys • Air purifier for clean, comfortable airflow • Bluetooth speakers for calming music • Potty pad spot • I sleep in the room with the dogs (10 PM–6 AM) • everything is sanitized after every stay using pet-safe detergent For safety during walks in my neighborhood, there are no sidewalks so we walk against traffic so we can see oncoming cars with dogs on the right side of me farthest away from the road in grass. In the winter, I follow a cold-weather walking policy for safety: if it’s too cold for me in an t shirt it’s too cold for them! Usually requests winter weather gear like boots and coat but one can be provided(washed after every use with pet safe detergent). (Black puffer and no slip socks.) Night time walking- don’t worry about the days getting darker I’ve got it covered with my reflective gear, flashlight, collar light clips, and more. Thank you for understanding and helping keep your pet safe!

About: I have been taking care of animals for roughly 13 years. We always had pets growing up and I did a lot of dog sitting in high school. I grew up on a farm so I have experience taking care of all sorts of different animals I work for a school district so I have fairly short hours during the day and have weekends off. I also have summers off as well as several random days off and full weeks here and there. I work less than half the year so I am very flexible. My house is already pet proofed with locks and baby gates. We never use any harmful chemicals in our yard as the neighbors dog comes over to visit occasionally.

About: I have a genuine love for animals. I proudly volunteer at the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin, where I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments.

I’m available Monday through Friday from 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM, and weekends from 8:00 AM to 9:30 PM. Whether your pup needs a walk or your cat needs some love and care, I’m here to help. I provide patient, reliable visits tailored to dogs and cats of all personalities. 🐾 Safety, trust, and comfort are at the heart of everything I do. I care for my own pets in a calm, loving environment and treat every animal in my care as if they were part of my family. You can trust that your pets will be safe, respected, and genuinely loved. Their well-being always comes first. 🐾

About: I work from home, so I am able to walk my own dogs 2-3 miles a day. I know how much they enjoy it and would love to be able to help others out that are not able to walk their pets as much as they would like. I frequently go on walks and runs multiple times a day, so adding a four-legged friend to my walking would be perfect. My work schedule is very flexible so I’m able to move things around as needed. I do not currently care for other pets in my home. I have 3 Siberian Huskies all under the age of 5 so it’s already a full house!

About: I'm currently in school for my RN. I have worked in Hospice for a few years now, and for awhile I provided doggy hospice for my last pup (Callie) that passed in January of 2022, she was with me almost 17 years. I now have a crazyyyy puppy. I live less than 5 minutes from my job so my pup gets a lot of my time. I do work around 2-4 days a week so I'm looking to fill my free time with more pups and I know my puppy is craving someone to play with. Each dog I care for is cared for in different ways, no care is the same. Some are very high energy and require time and patience. Others are more timid and don't need as much couching.

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life. I’ve cared for animals ranging from mice to horses. I have worked in vet clinics and have done a lot of research on my own time. They are my passion. I currently have the most experience in dogs. I’m actively an apprentice with a local dog trainer to be a positive reinforcement force free trainer. I am also studying canine behavior. I have experience in doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming. I have administered medications ranging from oral medicine to injections (subq and intermuscular). Like I said before, I love em like my own! I am home all day most days. I do have two dogs of my own so they are always outside playing. Pet care is what I do when I wake up to when I go to bed. I’m available most days for play dates, walks, boarding, grooming, and more! I have a large fenced in yard. I also have so so many dog toys. I have two dogs as well so your baby can make friends! I can offer crates when we leave or at night if you prefer! I have plenty of house for them to be in as well, also plenty of people to love on them! Your baby will never be alone!

About: Get ready for your dog to be spoiled! I am the owner of a 7 acre mini Farm home! Your dogs will absolutely love it here! There are lots of trees around and beautiful grass for them to run around in here. I have always been a natural when it comes to pets, but specifically I love dogs, especially really big dogs! I have had dogs my entire life and I now have a small Shepherd Lab mix at home. I make it a priority to make sure that your dogs are well taken care of, well fed, have lots of fun, and get lots of exercise! So it's more than just a regular boarding/walking experience. Also I am a bit of a photographer so plan on getting lots of beautiful pictures of your dog on the farm from me during their visit. I also have two older daughters who are absolute animal lovers and will play and pet your pups consistently while they are here. I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets, I an usually always home unless I am on a call for thr fire station. My land is not fully fenced off so If need be I will have to walk pups on a leash which is not a problem at all.
