House Sitting in Sullivan

“Outstanding communication and treated the dogs like if they were her own. The house was clean and orderly we would definitely love to have her back again.”

Brenda S.

“Tara was great with Bernie. He is a big dog and can get into mischief. We were able to all go on a family vacation thanks to finding Tara. Her communication is 5 stars and she followed the directions for Bernie to the letter. We appreciate the great care Bernie had and will be using Tara again!”

Stephanie C.

“Nikole stayed with our pups while we were out of town. She was responsive to messages and kept me updated with photos of their time with her. It was comforting to know that they were happy and well cared for while I was away!!”

Elisabeth P.

“Tami is great. Our dogs are kind of weirdos, but she figured out their unique personalities quickly and sent lots of photos and updates. We will definitely hire her again!”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a well-rounded and deeply committed approach to pet care. I am the owner of Oh My Paws, a pet-sitting business I started during college, and have worked as a kennel technician, dog handler for Can Do Canines, and am currently completing an apprenticeship at a Humane Society. These roles have given me experience with a variety of temperaments, medical needs, and behavioral challenges. What truly sets me apart is my background in dog behavior and training. I am currently studying to earn my CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed) certification and have experience training service dogs through the Falcon Fetch program. This gives me a unique ability to understand body language, reduce stress in pets, and ensure a safe, enriching environment during their care. Pet care is a central part of my life and something I prioritize in my weekly routine. I have very open availability on weekends (Saturday–Sunday), and I’m also available on Mondays if needed. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent and dependable care, whether it’s for daily visits, overnights, or last-minute bookings. Because I run my own pet-sitting business and am actively involved in training and animal welfare work, I structure my schedule around the pets I care for. I take the time to provide each animal with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and a calm, safe environment. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I begin with a detailed intake to learn about each pet’s routine, medical needs, triggers, and preferences, and I tailor my care accordingly. I use positive reinforcement and clear communication to build trust with animals, helping them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routines as closely as possible to reduce stress. I’m respectful of the home environment, leave things exactly as I found them, and provide regular updates with photos and notes for peace of mind.

“Vonnie is a blessing to us. Our girl has separation anxiety but she loves Vonnie. It allows us to be able to get away without worrying about Rosy being anxious and miserable”

“Brandi is absolutely a treasure, we are so grateful to have her as our puppy caretaker while we are away. Our puppies absolutely love her! Our Bailey is very shy and a bit skittish, but Brandi has won her over with her kind and sweet demeanor. We always know our pups are in great hands when Brandi is here with them. 🐾🩷”

Shenlee S.

“Our pup loved her!”

“Hayley did a great job with our girls. I can always tell when they are well cared for because when we come home they barely notice we are gone. And they let us know if they are not! :) Hayley kept me well informed and sent pictures. Definitely recommend!”

“Katelyn watched my English Bulldog and Chocolate Lab while I was on vacation for several days. She took great care of my fur babies. She fed them, walked them, let them out several times, and gave them loves and pets. She sent good notes and several pictures and videos throughout the stay.”

About: We recently moved back to our roots to a spot right off South St. In Oconomowoc. We had our dog sitting business in San Diego, CA and will miss our furry friends so much! My husband and I both love animals very much and have the perfect set-up to host. We enjoy morning and evening cuddles and allow dogs on the couch and bed :) We will take care of your pup just the same as we care for our own. We have a 3.5 year old mutt that we adopted 3 years ago who has brought so much joy to our life! She loves to play and enjoys the dog park/hanging around other dogs as much as she can. She loves walks around the lake as I am sure your pup will too! We both have experience taking care of other dogs and have dog sit for many of our friends and family members for extended periods of time when they are out of town. We can provide pictures as little or as often as you would like. Excited to meet your furry friend soon! I do not currently work and am a lucky stay at home dog mom! I only leave for short periods of time to buy groceries on typical days! When our dog is outside I am always watching/making sure she stays within the yard. If left outside she has a long leash she hangs out on and enjoys watching the squirrels. She has a dog bed outside for days that aren't so warm to lounge in. We also have a large front patio that can be fenced off in case we have a runner on our hands! Moxie loves basking in the sun and shade out there as I am sure yours would too! Water bowls always provided and refreshed as I am home all day.
