Dog Sitting Thiensville

About: Growing up, my mom was the Eau Claire County Humane Officer, FEMA Animal Emergency Management volunteer coordinator, and general manager of the Chippewa County Humane Association. Throughout my childhood I helped care for thousands of dogs, cat, rabbits, and even a handful of lizards and snakes. I am well versed in animal behavior, safety, and empathy! I am new to the world of personalized in home care, but hope to gain your trust and grow my experience. I am a homeschooling mom of one 6 year old (who LOVES dogs!) and our schedule is very flexible. We have a 3 year old animal friendly Australian Shepherd who we walk daily within our neighborhood, on the interurban trail (5 minute walk away) and run off lease on the beach when there's no one around! My 6 year old is very animal empathetic, and is always learning behavior and cues from our own Aussie. Having a high energy household, I understand the importance of plenty of time spent outside. We live in a large, upper, 2 bedroom apartment and can easily accommodate temporary space for one or two more pets (of the same family). We have a park with an open field for playing ball, and the interurban trail are both a short walk away. We have plenty of green space around our building for shorter potty breaks. I have a large Ruffland crate available for your pets use.

About: I believe that the unconditional love that pets provide their owners is something very special and they deserve love and respect in return. Since I was a child, I have always had a pet in my home. Years ago, I worked as a receptionist and vet assistant caring for both dogs and cats. Currently, I am a stay-at-home mom and have two cats. My friends and neighbors frequently ask me to care for their fur babies. They have relied on me to feed, walk, give pill medications, clean litter boxes, play and spend the weekend with their pets. I feel comfortable with dogs and cats, large and small breeds. I look forward to providing the quality time and the best care possible as your pet's caretaker. As a stay-at-home mom, I have plenty of availability during the week and on weekends to provide care for your pets. I love all kinds of animals and will treat them as my own. Whether you need a quick drop in visit or an overnight stay, you and your furry family member can trust that I will provide exceptional service. Over the years, I have done overnight and weekend stays for friends, neighbors and family. I feel a pet is most comfortable in their own home and want them to feel safe and secure.

About: I've owned a dog for ten years at home. I also have taken care of various neighbors' and friends' dogs as they relied on me to walk, feed, and play with the dog. I have boarded a dog for a month last summer. I now care for my own dog in my apartment. I currently have an easy schedule with one class a day where I would not be in the apartment. However, due to having three other roommates there is typically always somebody in my apartment. I have a very friendly dog who would love to play with others but she can also relax in her crate as needed. We have a fenced-in courtyard that dogs can run around in too!

“Emma was absolutely amazing with our 2 very high energy boxers! From the start she was responsible, respectful and truly attentive to our dog’s needs. She handled their high energy routines perfectly. Making sure they’ve got plenty of love, care and exercise while she was here. It was clear that she treated them like her own. We came home to happy, calm dogs and couldn’t be more appreciative of her kindness and responsibility. We look forward to having her back soon.”

About: I am a lifelong dog lover that raised a St. Berdoodle for the last 5 years. Many family and friends also depended on me to take care of their pups for the last 8-10! During the week, I study Music & Psychology at Fordham University. I am a sophomore at Fordham University with classes during the week at the Lincoln Center campus and available to take care of your dog on the weekend! I am available to take care of your dog in your home where he/she feels most comfortable and will follow your instructions and maintain consistency with your dog's daily routine!

“Heather was really wonderful. I have 2 dogs who couldn't be more different, a senior hound and a 5 yr old malinois. She did great with both of them. Heather was willing to go above and beyond with the care of the dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with golden retrievers, and in my high school years a husky/lab and jack russell/cattle dog mix. I have a dog myself now as an adult; she's a border collie and jack russell mix named Nala. I am happy to help other pet owners as my schedule allows! I am also open to cats. I work full time 7:30 am - 4:30 pm. I have some availabilitya after work, and on weekends. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or are interested! Pet care is a large part of my routine! My mornings start off with taking Nala potty and feeding her, and making sure she's good to go before I leave for work. My evenings are making sure she's gotten exercise and play time, potty, dinner and snuggles. I am happy to walk or let out your pup, or provide overnight care if able! Follow any instructions left in regards to treats, kenneling, commands, etc.

About: I grew up with dogs since I was a kid- everything from German Shepherds and Great Danes to chihuahuas! While I don't have any formal training or education, I have always been around animals and learned a lot through personal experience. My husband and I rescued our five year old chihuahua from a rescue agency in West Virginia and it was one of the best decisions we have ever made. It taught me a lot about the dedication, love, and patience it requires to make a rescue feel safe and comfortable. She is currently the only pet I have, but my family also has two chihuahuas so it's always fun to get them all together! I also have experience taking care of sick/elderly dogs. I lost my soul dog last year who suffered from heart failure and required nearly 24/7 care. I am a registered nurse with a background in cardiology, so it really hit home for me. Anyone that knows me knows my unwavering love for animals, especially dogs! I am currently taking a small hiatus from my nursing career so my availability is open at the moment. I am available on weekdays or weekends. Afternoons are preferred, but I don't have a set strict schedule and can be pretty flexible. I recently moved into a house where my dog finally has her first own backyard which has been such a joy to watch! I love basking outside in the sun with her and never leave her unattended. Around the house, she has plenty of spaces to cozy up and make her own. Whether it's walking in the neighborhood or staying around the house, I am always on high alert and aware of my surroundings. The same thing would apply for anyone else's pet whether it's in my home or the comfort of their own.

“Yolanda was amazing with our three high energy dogs! When we first met her and her husband, we could tell right away they were great people and our dogs took right to them. Even our dog that is sometimes shy around new people seemed completely at ease with them. She was available on short notice and took lots of great photos of the first visit. Our dogs looked very happy and relaxed. We would definitely recommend Yolanda!”

About: I've grown up with pets ever since I was little. I've been trusted even from young ages to walk, feed, and clean up after dogs. I've never had a bad experience and I'm always willing to encounter any and every kind of dog out there with lots of love and care! I have my own pet at home, had him for 10 years. Even after so long, it's so easy and even fun sometimes to do the little things for your pets like feeding them, walking them, and just making sure you spend some quality time with them! There's never a moment I don't want to be around my pet, or any pet for that matter! I always think the key to good pet care is real love and attention. Watching for what your pets want and giving them it will make them happy. If it's attention, bring on the cuddles! If it's a walk, let's do it! And that goes for pets that aren't mine as well. I always care for them like they're mine, and will pay attention to what they want as well as what their owners know is best too!

About: I am a trained canine coach and have 5 years of experience working professionally at a high end dog daycare facility. I have worked with dogs in play rooms as small as teacup chihuahuas, to as large as great danes, from as ginger as senior dogs, to as strong as young cane corsos. And, of course, I have loved each and every individual one. I am a highschool English and Language Arts teacher for Dr. Howard Fuller Collegiate Academy. With the summers being free, it clears my schedule for your pup! I am a trained dog professional, so I know how to handle any and all types of temperaments when it comes to the personality of your dog.

About: I have worked with all animals, from dogs and cats, to rats, turtles, hamsters, rabbits and fish! I have worked at a Humane Society, and love volunteering my time to work with animals. I have experience administering medication, as well as working with animals that have a bit of an attitude. I enjoy training dogs, and sitting on the coach and watching a movie together! I am able to commit most of my time to petsitting! I do not board in my home, but I have a reliable car that allows me to travel and spend the night in your home. That means less stress on your furry companions! While I do not provide care in my home, I prefer to meet families and their animals in advance so that we are able to discuss the little things about your animals. I love getting to know their quirks, and the best way to do that is talking to owners. I enjoy long walks with the dogs, and snuggling with cats and other animals!
