About: I have been around animals, my whole life it doesn’t matter if it’s my pets, my friends, pets or even my families pets. I have had rabbits, fish, cats, and dogs. When I was first born and at a very young age, my parents had a cat named Misty. Misty was a farm cat, and I learned at the young age of how to take care of a pet and a cat. It didn’t matter if it was giving the cat exercise, feeding the cat, giving it water or even cleaning out the litter pan. I also at a young age at around eight learned how to take care of a dog as my family got a golden retriever. We got this golden retriever named Sam from Humane Society, and Sam was an older dog about eight years old. I learned how to take care of an older dog, feeding it, giving exercise and water, and of course playing fetch, because what golden retriever doesn’t like fetch. After these animals, I got a Maine Coon cat named Cowboy. Again I learned how to take care of Cowboy by feeding Cowboy, giving Cowboy water and emptying the litter pan along with playing with Cowboy. Cowboy was a bit younger when I got him and was about eight months old. After cowboy, I was Lucky enough to get a black lab as a puppy, named Lucky. I named Lucky Lucky because what dog is not lucky to have me as their owner to take them on runs! Lucky was about four months old and again a potty trained Lucky, took Lucky to training classes and also trained Lucky on my own at home helping Lucky to learn to sit stay and play. After Lucky I got a rescue dog named Dyno, Dyno was a rescue dog from a high kill shelter in Alabama and when I did a DNA test on Dyno, Dyno came out to be a black lab pointer mix with a little bit of terrier and boxer in her as well. Dyno was approximately four months old as well when I got her. I helped Dyno learn to be potty trained took her to training classes and train her at my house as well. I helped Dyno to learn, sit and stay, and also place along with playing dead. I recently just moved out of my house, and unfortunately Dyno had to stay with my parents, because Dyno doesn’t get along with other dogs as well. I did have to be very cognizant, while I took care of Dyno, to make sure Dyno did not injure or hurt other dogs, and keep Dyno safe as well, so I’m very good at making sure and keeping track of dogs when they’re along with other dogs so that they don’t fight. I am smart and know the signs dogs have if they are nervous, worried, or scarred. I moved in with my fiancé, who has a seven year-old golden retriever named Molly, and I am currently taking care of Molly. Molly is an unbelievable golden retriever dog, loves to go for runs and play fetch. If you have a dog that loves to go for runs or walks I will gladly take them for runs and walks to get my exercise in with them. What dog does not like to go for a run? Hope I can help you walk/run and take care of your animals just like I love to take care of my own! I am a police officer and have many days off during the week. So if you need someone to let your furry friends out while at work I am perfect for that. One week I work Monday Tuesday Friday to Sunday. I’m off Wednesday and Thursday the following week off Monday Tuesday and the weekend. In my professional life, I am a police officer, so not only do I take care of animals in my personal life, but also in my professional life when they are lost, and I need to get them back to the owner, or even dropping them off at the Humane Society so they are safe. Recently on the Snowmobile Trail. I actually found a kitten and was able to get the kitten to come to me so that it did not freeze to death in the woods and get it to a business near the Snowmobile Trail so that it could be returned to the Humane Society to stay safe . Based off of my schedule in my professional life of being a police officer, I have many days off during the week. So if you’re at work and need your furry friends to be let outside, I am the perfect person. As I have many off days on Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday while others are working. I can explain my schedule better however here is a break down. Week one. I work Monday Tuesday Friday Saturday Sunday. I am off Wednesday and Thursday Week two. I only work Wednesday and Thursday off the rest of the week. Even if you are home and you’re an individual that doesn’t like to go for runs or walk or are older, I could take care of your animal and let them out take them for a walk or run while you were at home as well, just to get them exercise, I would be happy to do that because then I get my exercise as well. On the weekends, I would be available most all the time as well, unless I am busy, but I would do drop in short notice type calls as well! With me working in the school during the school year, I have off days during the school year that your kids are off as well. So spring break I am open all day, or just even random days during the week they are off as well. So please keep that in mind. In the summer I am free at 2pm to let your dog outside. My schedule just changed and I work night shift. So I am available anytime during the day as long as I’m not sleeping. The days I work stays the same regarding off days and not. Right now I am not planning on having dogs or cats stay at my house with my dog Molly, so this is not something you need to worry about however, if I’m walking or taking your dog for a run, I would make sure to bring my light up light collar for your dog so that your dog is safe whether it’s dark out. If you have one I would use yours. This will make sure your dog has your collar on with its leash and keep your dog or cat safe.

“Brandi was great with my 3 dogs. She was on time. Was able to meet the dogs and I before the first day. There was an issue with the neighbors dog jumping my fence when she was out with my 3 dogs. She handled the situation very well! She sent me a lot of pictures also! I would have Brandi come back and take care of my dogs again!.”

Teresa S.

“My baby absolutely adores Anna and she’s been so good about sending pictures while on their walks and been 10/10 with communication. Absolute gem of a find we love her!!!”

About: I have dreamed about walking dogs since I was a little girl and now I have found a way to do it and get paid! I have two Weiner dogs at my mom's house, a labordooddle at my dad's, and two cats of my own.I know and love all kinds of dogs and cats! I will care and treat them like they are my own so trust me they will get the best care ever! They may even get a little spoiled... But I can be strict if you have certain rules you want them to abide by! I have training. Please consider me when thinking about who can care for your furry children. I will give them the best care they deserve! I work part time and have a flexible schedule, so I can be available when needed. I have a car for easy transportation as well. My cats get supervised time outside on harnesses and time in the breezeway with open windows to get some fresh air. My neighborhood is good for taking dogs on walks and there is a wonderful dog park near by!

“Great with my dogs and cats. I appreciate her willingness to and positive attitude. Even my one dog that’s somewhat nervous loves being with her. Thanks Tasia”

About: Being with animals isn't a job for me, it's my favorite thing to do! I've grown up with animals around me my whole life, and I started walking dogs when I was 16. Almost 20 years later I am still loving on pets whenever I can. I currently own a Bearded Dragon and a senior pup - But I owned special needs kitties for 19 years. Here's some about me and my experience! 70% of my one-time clients have booked me again or become regular clients! Please reach out with any questions on rates, experience, or anything else you want to discuss! Pet Care Experience: - Dogs: Puppies older than 6 months, juveniles, adults and seniors - Cats: Kittens older than 8 months, juveniles, adults and seniors - Small mammals like guinea pigs, hamsters - Reptiles like Bearded Dragons and Leopard Geckos - Fish What can I do that sets me apart? - Medication administration with mild- to moderate-tempered cats (oral, topical, injection) - Experience with Separation Anxiety, high-energy, and pets that don't do well with other animals (keeping walks, etc safe!) - Experience with multi-pet homes and environments. I've watched 13 cats and 2 dogs in the same home once! - Manual feeding assistance for sick pets - LOTS of attention. My visits are longer than most as I love to just sit with pets and give them attention in the ways they need or want. For overnight stays, I'm a homebody so I love to stay at the house and just hang out with the animals! - A LOT of Flexibility: I don't work full-time right now, and my sleep schedule isn't regular. This means I have no issues with adjusting schedules even last minute. Need me to come earlier? Or come back when your flight is cancelled? No problem. - *Cat Whisperer* I have been told by most of, if not all, cat clients that are standoffish like me quicker or more than a normal stranger. I love cats the most, so I think they can sense it ;) - *Coming Soon* Insurance for your pet and home during my stays! Any tips will be going towards that and training classes so I can grow. About me: - I've lived in WI since 2009 - I have 18 years of working experience - clerical, customer, administrative and sales support, retail - In my free time I like going to concerts, listening to music and doing crafts/projects, playing video games or hanging out with my friends and family Currently my schedule is completely open! I am flexible for even last minute bookings or changes. I have my own transportation and things are taken care of for me at home. So long stays, short stays or visits work for me. I work around whatever needs you and your pets have so make sure everyone is as comfortable as possible. I'll ask for a digital or typed/written instructions so I can follow them to the letter! I keep areas clean and make sure everything is secure before I leave a home. I also always send a "closing" message for overnight stays with details like mail collection etc! Your pet's safety and your ease of mind are my top priorities.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 12 years old. I have worked with animals of all ages and personalities. I've had experience in taking care of pets with special medical needs. My schedule is very open and flexible. I am accustomed to waking up early around 5:30 am which is perfect for morning walks and exercise. I have a fenced in yard with no other animals present. I live nearby a beautiful open space which is excellent for walks and exercise.

“Heather was fantastic! She knew how to handle my young, strong Doberman with ease. I will definitely use her again to walk my boy and recommend her to family and friends. Thanks again Heather!”
