About: I've had pets my whole life, from birds, reptiles, and fish to dogs, cats and rodents, so I know my way around various pets and how to take care of them, as such any special needs won't be too far out of my expertise. When it comes to dogs I've taken two puppies of mine to training classes and am willing to work with whatever training you have in place with your dog, whether that is working on correcting behaviors like jumping or continuing to teach them certain tricks while you're away, I will try my best to make sure they stay on the right track! Cats are the kind of pet I've had for the longest and know the best, even though none of mine so far have been major trouble makers I know how fickle some can be. I'm not afraid to do the occasional litterbox clean if needed or to keep an eye on them during their occasional zoomies. Currently my schedule is pretty flexible, I'm available any day from noon to midnight so if you need someone to check in on your pet overnight I'm available! I'm willing to work with any dietary needs and/or restrictions your pet has and as I've given medications to my pets before I would be able to give your pet any if they needed it during my visit. I'm big into teaching my dogs how to be respectful on a walk so I would be willing to continue any on walk training you may have!

About: I have two dogs of my own that I love like they’re my children. Pepper is a 8 year old boxer and Rosie is a 3 year old Great Pyrenees mix. I’ve also fostered dogs for a local rescue for about a couple years. I am a full-time teacher, but I have plenty of time to care for your pets after 4p.m. and on weekends. I’ll have more availability during my breaks from school. I have two dogs that love making new friends. I also have space to crate your dogs. We also love taking walks in the mornings.

Mary Ann did a great job for our first time with Rover. She was reliable, timely and did a great job with our cat, Pepe. Loved the pictures, the updates and overall, she filled all of our needs and expectations. So glad we found her!

About: Hi! I am reliable, friendly and very flexible with my schedule. Dog sitting has been the thing I didn’t know I needed in my life! I wish I could have one of my own but it’s not the right time for me. I would love to care for your pet. I helped raise/train my childhood dog, have taken care of puppies, deaf animals, and gained the approval of a very protective and anxious Doberman with lots of patience and attention (my greatest accomplishment). Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with utmost care to keep you and your pet happy! I am a fine artist with a MFA in painting, and I take on interior design and other creative jobs as a freelancer. I will be traveling starting August 25th, but will be back late November. I love being outside, exercising, and hanging at parks, so I’m glad to be joined by a pup and will give them all the love. My routine already involves walks/runs outside and being home a lot, so it fits in great! When i’m not working, I am exercising, planning, making art and reading. I am very available to provide proper pet care and give pets the attention they need. My schedule changes by the days and weeks. In caring for the pet in their home, I make sure to know where everything is that I need and respect the home in making sure the pet doesn’t make a mess.

About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. I have experience in babysitting children. I also take care of Laya our family pet. I also have previous pet sitting experience in Wisconsin. Iny previous experience in Wisconsin, I have asked owners for written instructions on medications, favorite toys, play schedule, vet contacts as well as inquiring about safe ways to enter the house. I have given the quality care for pets including snuggles, walks, and fun games like fetch with their favorite toys and time at the dog park- if permitted by their parents. I am a substitute teacher. I frequently do half days, I'm doing mostly afternoons at my subbing jobs. I am available in the mornings and at 330-8pm for drop in visits and walks I will ask for written instructions on feeding, rules, any medications, and anything else I should know. I will send pictures and videos of what we are doing-walks, how much your pet has eaten, treats, playtime, and playtime.

About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life. I have been volunteering at a local humane society since the age of seven. I take care of all of my family and friends’ dogs while they are away on vacation. Pet care will be my summer job! When I am not on vacation myself, I will be available. I am incredibly flexible. I can stay at your home or come and go as your pet needs! I have a fenced in yard and four dogs of my own. I am no stranger to cleaning up messes or using a lint roller before I leave the house.

Ben was great taking care of our cat with his medications and visits while we were gone for the week! Our cat was in a great mood when we returned and we relaxed while out of town know he was taken care of! Would definitely like to use his services again!

Heather is so good with my boys. Even my shyest cat comes out to see her. Knowing that my cats are well taken care of when I'm away is such a comfort. I love getting pictures and updates. Heather does a wonderful job.
