7. Alyssa B.
About: I have been passionate about animals, big and small, my entire life! I have volunteered at humane societies, fostered animals in need, cared for the pets of family members and friends, interned at AZA-accredited zoos, and worked at wildlife sanctuaries. Currently I am a full-time licensed wildlife rehabilitator caring for injured and orphaned Wisconsin wildlife with the goal of releasing them back into the wild, but I have previously worked with a variety of domestic animals both in my personal and in my professional life. I am well versed in animal behavior, body language, and positive reinforcement. I promise to treat (and spoil) your pets like they are my own! At the moment I have 3 sweet cats, a high-energy dog, a mischievous chinchilla, and a gentleman of a ball python! Please do not hesitate to reach out and get to know me more! I currently work 4 days of the week at my full time job so I am only available select days. I am eager to spend time with your pets, however, so if my schedule shows I am unavailable, please reach out anyway as I try to be as flexible as possible! It is extremely important to me to use Fear Free tactics when interacting with any animal. Gaining the trust of you and your pet are my top priority!

18. Laura P.
“My mom doesn’t just watch dogs—she loves them like her own. When she cares for my pups, she goes above and beyond: inventing treat puzzles to keep them engaged, texting photo updates, and even flying cross-country to sit for them so we could vacation stress-free. She’s proactive, extremely attentive, and treats our home with respect. If you want someone who’ll spoil your dog and give you peace of mind, she’s your person! - Taylor, Grateful Dog Mom & Daughter”
