About: I have a genuine love for animals. I grew up on a farm, surrounded by dogs and all sorts of farm animals. You can count on me to give your pet the affection, comfort, and attentive care they need while you're away. Since I work from home, I'm able to provide dedicated one-on-one attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to offer extra walks and plenty of cuddle time. My top priority is your pet’s safety and we’ll-being. Please share everything I need to know about them to ensure they are safe and happy. I want them to feel loved and well- cared for as you are away. I make an effort to follow your regular schedule, including potty breaks, play times, and meals. Ensuring they have clean water and enough food. My goal is to ensure your dog(s) feels safe and comfortable in their environment(s).

About: I have had both dogs and cats all my life. Many friends and family over the years have trusted their pets to be in my care. I just recently left my full-time job to be self-employed with the small business my partner and I started. My schedule is quite flexible and open at this time. I promise to provide quality care to each pet with attentiveness and enriching play time and walks as necessary. I am happy to follow any personal covid related protocols any client may have.

About: I have a strong attention to detail and an even stronger passion for animals. I'm comfortable with all breeds. I've learned a lot about dog training and dog reactivity in the last 3 years with my own dog. I'm willing to take special requests to care for your furry friend better than you could imagine! I have a 3 year old German Shepherd that I care for daily with mental stimulation, physical exercise, and lots of love. I am currently available evenings and weekends to care for your furry friends! I like to lead with respect and integrity and treat your space with the privacy and respect it deserves. I'm looking to build a future working with animals, and I'd be grateful for the opportunity to care for your beloved pets.

About: I have taken care of dogs and all types of animals my whole life. I have a veterinary science degree, have experience in grooming and also experience in doggy daycare and boarding! I have boarded many dogs in my own home and have done plenty of drop in visits! I have always loved all types of animals and can’t wait to take care of yours! I am CPR and dog first aid certified. I’m currently working but my schedule is very flexible. I am also available on the weekends. I can be readily available whenever you will need me. If you chose to board at my home, I have a fenced in back yard and two fur babies to keep yours company! If you need in home visits, I am able to accommodate those as well.

“Becky did an incredible job for our cat Suna. It was our first time leaving him alone for a weekend, but Becky made us feel at ease by going above and beyond and letting us know about the slightest changes in mood or behavior. She also spent a lot of time cuddling and playing with Suna and even washed his food containers. We could not be more happy. Becky, thank you so much and please come again!”


About: I have been an animal lover since I could remember and have years of experience with friends and families with dogs of every kind! It’s stressful being away from your pets and having the right care is what everyone deserves. I am also a college student in the pre-veterinary path!! I am home for the summer and would love to get to help people all around with taking care of their pups! I am free Monday-Sunday at any time of the day! I have a large fenced in yard with a 5 year old who loves spending time indoors and outdoors. She is very playful and loves running around with friends!

“We were comforted during our long vacation knowing that Mary was caring for our 2 kitties. Her positive personality and sense of responsibility made her a great care taker. She made time on a daily basis to feed them and clean up their areas. As former ferals with a hurtful past, they are not used to strangers so did not warm up to her very much; she understood their perspective and respected it. She communicated regularly with us. We would definitely hire Mary again!”


About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Ever since I was young I’ve had a dog in the house, to me your dog is your family and I strive to treat all my animals like family members. As of now I have a pretty open schedule including weekends. As for drop in visits I prefer to keep them in the Wausau area I can provide a crate/kennel for your dog if needed. I have a French Bulldog that is very high energy and excited when new people/dogs arrive, he is very vocal but he is friendly.He is more standoffish with people but does great with dogs. He is up to date on vaccinations and neutered. I have a large partially fenced in yard.As far as drop in visits I am able to make 2-3 visits a day to your home.

Between working at a daycare and running Simply Fresh Cleaning LLC, caring for others—whether little ones or furry friends—is what I do best. My schedule stays flexible, so I can make time for pet drop-ins, feedings, playtime, or just some extra love while you’re away. Animals have always been part of my world, and I genuinely enjoy fitting them into my daily routine. I’ll treat your pets like family—and can help keep your home fresh and clean while I’m at it! 🧼🐶🐾 Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours.

About: I have many years of experience caring and loving for animals. I have also worked for a couple of Veterinary clinics and have attended a year of school for Veterinary medicine. I am currently a stay at home mom and have a couple of fur babies of my own who get along great with everyone! My Bernese Mountain dog is 7 years and one of the biggest lap dogs you will meet. My kids are 3 and 1 and are taking after my animal loving ways. They love to help care for our animals and take care of our daily chores. I live on a quiet road out in the country, we have 7 acres and plenty of room to play! I am very flexible and accommodating and always excited to meet new faces!

About: I have always put in maximum effort when it comes to pets. When I was 13 I trained our family puppy myself, and when I was a little younger I took care of two rabbits. Once I moved out of my mom and dad's house, I took on the care of two cats. Through my experience I've learned that each pet is different. They all have their own needs and wants. I think that's part of why it's so gratifying to take care of animals. I will always ensure that the pets in my life get only the best care. I'm currently working full time. My shifts start anywhere form 10:30am to noon, and end at 7:00. I also have a half hour lunch break around 2:00pm that I can use to check in with a pet, as long as the drive isn't more than 10 minutes from my work. I always have sundays off, and most of the time have a weekday off as well. On work days I can fit in at least 3 visits, as long as they don't need to be scheduled durring my work hours. Besides work, my schedule remains free most of the time. As a pet owner, I know how fast things can take a turn for the worst. I belive that taking prevenitive measures is the best way to avoid accidents. Keeping away toxic food, cleaning products, etc. as well as other animals, or harmful objects, is very important. It's also important to always be attentive with animals. Anything could happen at any moment, so to stay aware is key.
