About: I have worked for roughly two years dog sitting for friends and family. Typically these have been in my own home - occasionally overnight. I have a fenced in back yard for my 3 dogs & 2 cats so I have experience with both :) I have complete availability currently, so my dog at home gets quite a lot of walks and park time. If possible, i also try to socialize him with people each day. Typically I take my dog to the dog park in the evening with a long walk in the morning. This works best for my dogs energy levels, but each dog is different. I am also trying to socialize my dog in public as he is a bit scared of humans so we try to hit some breweries here and there.

“Always great and prompt. My dog is excited to see her.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits and fish over the years. Personally, I’ve owned dogs, cats, and rabbits myself. Most notably I’ve cared for small breed dogs but I have plenty of experience with large breeds. Currently I’m waiting on starting my new job so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. Though I prefer overnighting or afternoon/evening care, I can do days as well. I can not care for pets in my own home. I live in an apartment and have little room for a pet to move around.

About: Dogs, cats and birds have always been a part of my life. As a child, we even had a pet crow named Butch! I work from home so your fur or feather baby won’t be left alone. My last two dogs passed away after months of battling cancer. My siberian husky had nasal cancer and my papillion had lymphoma. I have experience providing palliative care for dogs that are not feeling well and probably need extra love and attention. Currently, my resident dog is a foster failure named Peppy. Occasionally, I will have a foster dog in addition to my resident dog. I would disclose that information before booking. I currently work from home and my schedule is very flexible. After work, I walk my dog either around the neighborhood or we go to Red Cedar trail or to a park in town. I can easily crate your dog if you request it but it’s ok if he/she sleeps wherever. My dog freaks out in a crate (he was a breeder release) so he sleeps wherever he chooses. He is very gentle and has no teeth so I will not care for any aggressive dog.

“Thank you for being able to take Mia and Gwen out last minute. Sent us pictures of tur dogs out and did a great job. We will use again.”

About: Ive had a little more then 3 years pet experience taking care of all ages and sizes of dog and cats. Doing everything from walks, runs and drop ins to staying over night and taking care of the house and land as well. I’m current an active student at UW stout with an open schedule open almost all day to take care of the needs of pets. Im an advocate for running and lifting and love to go on runs with dogs and train hunting dogs. I have a very active dog as is so I’m constantly watching or playing with him. I tend to make sure all small items are picked up, all chemicals are put away and am always on watch. I’m comfortable with both crate training and roaming animals.

About: Did I catch your attention? I hope so! I really love taking care of pets. Animals are naturally attracted to me; they love me; I'm like "The Animal Whisperer."

I love taking fur buddies for nature walks. I am very flexible and willing to pet sit during day-time hours or overnight. I am also very respectful to abide by any rules or lifestyle choices an owner has for their pet. I am always prompt, however, I did have to cancel one time due to an emergency. Otherwise, I will answer promptly, I am kind, hospitable, and a joy to be around.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a small girl, I grew up always having pets and I always love taking care of them. I live on a small hobby farm with goats and chickens and I love taking care of them too! I have 3 dogs and 1 cat and I would do anything for them. I have taken care of puppies a few times but not too much. I am currently going to school but I have plenty of time on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and some weekends. I have specific times during the weekdays but that can be further discussed! I live in a dorm right now so I can’t have any animals here unless if they are quiet and that they are very well potty trained

“Aaralyn does a fantastic job walking my two dogs! They pull me on the leash but she handles them like a pro. She also leaves me feedback after every walk.”

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: I have about 8 years of experience helping high-end breeders breed and raise puppies, I’ve trained my own dogs, cats, and horses and have also had bunnies and chickens in the past. I love animals! You get the quality for what you pay! I am currently in college, so I have plenty of time to take dogs on walks, feed, train and exercise them! I’m always willing to help! I will always make sure to keep your pet as safe and comforted as possible. If they are happy and safe then I am happy!

About: For the last 21 years our home has collected experience with animals with the focus on safety and specialty care. I worked as a vet tech the first half of my careers life. The last 10 years or so I've worked lightly as a tech but also as a foster coordinator with a major rescue. I help teach new fosters how to safely manage, handle and even train dogs new to a home and make sure they know ways to keep there dog safe. Our home specializes in those that need extra understanding, health care or time to settle in. We are not fostering at the moment so we only have our resident dogs in home. Dogs are our homes life. We already work around dog care schedules and appropriate trips outside all the time. I'm home all week and provide most mid-day walks and play time. Safety is a big factor in our home. We have years of learning and perfecting dog introductions when boarding and our dogs are very used to new guests coming in and out. When caring for dogs in my own yard but also when providing care at the owners home I always use safe leash handling skills. We dont have a fence so being aware of open doors and guests coming or going is something our whole home is always mentally aware of and our whole focus is keeping our guests safe.

About: I have taken care of dogs all my life as they are a huge part of so many lives! I love all types, ages, and breeds. I am available during evenings and weekends. Throughout the summer I will be available a lot more as I am a teacher. I am more than willing to work with your schedule! I have a lovable English Bulldog that loves to roam around in our yard at the end of a dead end road. We have a crate available.

About: I’ve lived with a dog my whole life I had 2 dogs for 7 years now just one sadly. I don’t mind going on long walks even runs with dogs as well. I don’t have school Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays. So those days I can work whenever. Tuesday Thursdays I’m free anytime after 4. So I have a pretty open schedule. My first priority will always be your pet. Giving it the upmost respect and care it needs. Making sure it’s happy, healthy, and safe whenever I’m with it.

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 work schedule in the 6 am timeframe. I do work part time and in those morning shifts end roughly at 12-3 however my partner is typically home before me to let the pups outside. 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.

About: Hello, I have worked with dogs and cats and farm animals for may years! I am in my 2nd year of getting my Veterinary Technician degree. I love all animals and am excited too meet yours!🩷 I have a pretty flexible schedule and am willing to accommodate! So just let me know what you need and we can figure something out! I hope to make the pet feel safe and loved at all times. So establishing trust is my first step. I then want to make them comfortable and keep them engaged in activities. And of course make sure they have fun!

“Leah was great with Sienna. After an hour walk she would still spend time with her in the yard playing and getting her to run around. I have Leah in my contacts for future visits.”

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and dog mom to a big Goldendoodle named Miller 🐾 so I’m very comfortable handling larger, energetic dogs as well as more laid-back ones. I’m used to daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, and all the little things that keep dogs happy and comfortable. I’m very patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away 🤍 Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for! I recently dropped my hours at my current job to spend more time with my dog and hopefully help other pets out as well :) I am willing to adapt to all needs to make other pets feel comfortable and happy in their home. I’ve been around all ages and sizes of dogs and am comfortable with all!
