About: I have helped take care of animals ever since I was 5. Over the years, I have dog sat for friends and neighbors along with providing support when needed. I have never not had a pet and have always made sure to do my research to ensure I am treating any pet in the best way possible along with ensuring what is and isn’t safe for different animals. I have many friends that come to me first when they need help, especially with their animals. Many of my friends have called me a dog whisperer. I currently work full time from home as an accountant. I tend to be home most weekends and my hours make it very easy to fit any animal into my schedule. I have a rabbit currently at my home and my neighbors have a dog, cats, and chickens. I would always make sure that the animal is supervised as I know how important a pet is and the responsibility necessary to ensure it stays safe.

“Thanks Amanda. I'm new to the house and will have to address the locks.”

“Katie is wonderful! She met Dobby and he loved her. I could tell she was a doggy person right away! She took great care of my fur baby, sent pics, updates, and was very flexible with her schedule. I will be using Katie again and again for our pups walks.”

Your pets are treated like family, and I take pride in making sure they are well-fed, exercised, and showered with affection.

I love being outside and staying on a consistent schedule—perfect for keeping dogs happy and cared for! Caring for pets, whether in your own home or a client’s home, involves a combination of regular attention, proper feeding, exercise, grooming, and emotional care. Here’s a breakdown of how I might approach pet care depending on the service I offer: 1. Pet Sitting (In Client’s Home or Own Home) • Feeding: Follow the pet’s regular feeding schedule and adjust based on dietary needs or special instructions from the owner. • Exercise: Ensure that pets get enough physical activity through walks, playtime, or other engaging activities. • Grooming: Brush pets regularly to maintain their coat and avoid matting (especially for long-haired breeds). Bathe them as needed, depending on the breed and the owner’s preferences. • Health & Safety: Monitor the pet’s health for any changes, such as a decrease in appetite, lethargy, or signs of illness. Administer any medications as directed by the owner. • Companionship: Provide attention, playtime, and comfort to ensure the pet doesn’t feel lonely or anxious. This might include cuddling, talking to them, or simply being around. • Cleaning: Ensure the pet’s living environment is clean, including regularly changing litter boxes for cats or cleaning up after dogs. 2. Dog Walking • Exercise: Provide regular walks to ensure that the pet gets the necessary physical and mental stimulation. The duration and intensity of the walk depend on the breed, age, and health of the dog. • Safety: Ensure the dog is safe during walks by using a sturdy leash, avoiding busy traffic areas, and monitoring for any signs of discomfort. • Playtime: If there is time, include some interactive play (e.g., fetch or tug-of-war) during the walk to engage the dog mentally. 3. Pet Boarding (In Your Home) • Comfort: Provide a safe, comfortable space with a designated sleeping area, food, and water station. • Socialization: If appropriate, allow pets to socialize with other animals (especially if they are accustomed to it). • Routine: Keep the pet on a similar routine as they would have at home, with regular meals, walks, and bathroom breaks. 4. General Tips for Pet Care • Communication: Keep the pet owner updated regularly on their pet’s well-being, sharing any observations, concerns, or funny moments. • Emergency Preparedness: Know where the nearest vet is and be prepared for any emergencies, including having a list of the pet’s medical details and contact information. By focusing on the pet’s specific needs and preferences, both physical and emotional, I can ensure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for.

About: I grew up with a dog and now have one of my own! Willing to give your pup as much love and attention as I give Enzo. I’m willing to walk your dog miles if needed, and have plenty of enrichment activities as well! I will go above and beyond to communicate scheduling and pet needs, and can be flexible with my schedule in the summer if needed. I will be home for most of summer, so any days that are available I can walk, dogsit, or board your pup!! Willing to be flexible with your schedule if needed. I have a kennel if needed, otherwise your dog will be free to roam the house throughout the day. There is a lead on either side of my house providing outdoor access, and plenty of comfortable places inside for relaxation. I am comfortable using any type of leash to walk your dog as well.

About: I grew up with dogs and have had an extensive career in the Animal Health Industry, selling veterinary pharmaceuticals for 25 years, and also working as a client services representative at a busy emergency and referral veterinary center. Not only did I grow up with dogs but I have had my own dogs as an adult, which I actually got because the family I was sitting for could no longer keep them and asked if I would like to make it a permanent situation. I cared for both of them into their senior years and became proficient at managing their medical conditions that arose from aging (diabetes and canine cognitive disorder). My two boys required very extensive care and routine insulin administration for my diabetic as well as additional medications that I became very proficient in administering, even if they were particular about taking pills, etc. I am very knowledgeable in how to manage multiple dogs at once, how to keep dogs safe in various environments, and a good eye for anything that may indicate they may not be feeling their best. When I had my guys, I would often trade sitting and walking favors with my fellow dog owners so I have had a lot of experience sitting for and walking other dogs throughout my life. My goal is to give peace of mind to dog owners that they can go on vacation, business trips, day trips, or just out anywhere, and they will know that their dog is in great, loving hands. I am currently working full-time but I am off on Thursdays and Fridays and I can also take on pets in the evenings after work. When sitting for your pet I can take them out on my lunch hour if necessary. I would follow any requests that you have in order to make your pet as comfortable as they are when you are there. I am very familiar with local walking trails and parks that are pet friendly.

About: I’m active, reliable, and always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Plus, I provide frequent updates so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pup is in great hands! I’ve had experience doing drop ins for my neighbors energetic dogs while they were away and boarding my parents dogs for extended periods of times making sure they felt at home! Whether the dog is young, energetic, and loves going on runs or like slow, leisurely walks, I’m your girl! I am a recent graduate from the University of Wisconsin Madison and I studied marketing. I’m enjoying my summer post grad at home with my family and pets until i find a career in Marketing. I’m available any day of the week to take care of and love your pets! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, making sure they feel comfortable, well-fed, and, of course, loved! I have experience dog sitting for my neighbor’s energetic pup, so I’m used to keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy with regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also make sure to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Whether it’s a couch cuddle session or outdoor adventure, your pet will feel right at home with me.

About: I worked at a vet clinic for over a year which allowed me to learn dogs behavior well. I have lived with and taken care of dogs my whole life. I also walk dogs for a humane society. I am currently going to school for animal care. I am currently working a part time job and walking dogs for a Humane society. I walk the dogs at the humane society Tuesday-Thursday 6:30-9:30am. My part time job depends on when I get hours when I do it’s normally between 10-4. When visiting a clients home I will always do exactly what the clients requests or what I am comfortable with doing. I always focus on good behavior when taking care of dogs as well.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I grew up with dogs and would pet sit around the neighborhood. I also would babysit and take care of the family’s pets while I was there. I have recently started picking that back up. I have watched several different dogs in my neighborhood overnight at my house or at the owners home. I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule. I am able to give your fur babies all the walks, playtime, love and cuddles that they need. I like to ask you what schedule you have your pet on currently and follow that as much as possible. I will ensure your fur babies get the exercise, playtime, love and attention that they need while staying with me.

“Cindy is reliable and great with our dogs!”

About: Active Lifestyle: I love taking dogs for long walks or runs. This is perfect for energetic dogs who need exercise or just a slow stroll through the neighborhood. :) I go the extra mile to make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away—whether it’s daily updates with photos, extra-long walks for energetic pups, or just keeping them company while you're away, I am currently working full-time. However I do have a lunch break which gives me a bit of free time. Also, I am always looking for ways to keep me busy after work at night, before work in the morning, and weekends! As a pet parent to an 8-month-old Golden Retriever, I understand the importance of finding a sitter who truly cares. My dog is full of love—he loves to snuggle, give kisses, and especially enjoy outdoor play and long walks. I know how it feels to leave your furry family member behind, which is why I promise to treat your dog with the utmost affection and care. From belly rubs to head scratches and plenty of praise, I reward positive behavior with lots of love and attention. Whether it’s playtime in the yard or reinforcing training with rewards, your dog will feel right at home with me!
