House Sitting in Thorp

“Michelle is absolutely amazing with our fur babies! She’s reliable, on time and most of all our pups love her! She takes them out regularly for a variety of different hikes. I’m so thankful that we found Michelle!”

About: I have had a dog my entire life. I am very good at sensing a dogs needs, and I love being around dogs. I will also watch cats for an extra small fee. I grew up with a German Wirehair Pointer and an Old English Sheepdog and currently have a Golden Retriever and Old English Sheepdog who are my babies. I’ve also had a cat my whole life and love them just as equally as dogs. Your pets will be in great hands with me. I work full time in an office in Menomonie. I am able to do drop in visits after work on week-days and my weekends are free for drop ins or in home care. I would follow your rules to a T and take care of your babies as you would. Whatever they need, they will get. I can also bring my dog(s) if that would be allowed if you think yours would like a playmate. Both of my dogs are extremely friendly and love other animals.

“Jessica stayed at our house and took care of our dog, Destiny, while we were out of town for a week. She went above and beyond in every way possible. It is a leap of faith to trust someone with not only your pet, but also your house, and Jessica did not let us down in the slightest. She kept us updated with pictures and videos and was a great communicator. She left the house incredibly tidy and even stripped the bed and replaced some groceries -truly an incredible person. We could tell Destiny had a great time too! We are so grateful to have found Jessica and will continue to request her as our sitter when we go out of town. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars, truly an exceptional sitter!!”

About: I have had multiple pets. My first dog was a high energy Coonhound and I went to training lessons with him. I now own a Maltipoo, a chihuahua, and a cat. I also have experience babysitting my sisters senior pup. I am currently working part time and attending school so so I have some free time during the week and on weekends. Most my classes are from 11-3:30 so I have availability in mornings and evenings. I car about keeping your house cleaner than I found it. I’ll make sure to take your pup out every couple hours to avoid any mess.

About: I have been relied on to care for friends, family, and neighbors pets since I was old enough to take responsibility. When I was 14, my helping of peoples pets started when I watched a family friends dog for 4 years during week days and occasional weekends. I worked at a doggie day care facility for 4 months at the end of 2021, doing all duties that go into caring for our furry friends. I went to college to get a degree as a Veterinary Technician for a year and a half. During the time of schooling I worked in a vet clinic and took on the job role as a kennel technician, helping out with anything and everything I could get my hands on. I dropped school because of personal and external obstacles but would love to go back in the future to finish. I only aim to please and never disappoint! Please choose me to be your pets new best friend! Currently have a very flexible schedule as I am unemployed at the moment. My weekends are usually not too busy, please feel free to reach out with any questions! When caring for pets in a clients home, I am sure to make sure that I am careful when first meeting animals as I know it could be dangerous because of their protectiveness. I make sure to look over instructions twice, and double check that all to-dos are completed before leaving the clients home. I make sure to potty before I leave each time to avoid messes and make sure that they get exercise/attention during my time with them, as I know they feel down without someone home with them.

“Mellissa is definitely an animal lover. I have witnessed her love and care for all types of animals, especially dogs. She gentle, kind, playful, and smart when it comes to caring for animals and is a great choice in caring for any animal. You can be assured that your dog will be safe and cared for properly if left in her care.”

“Victoria took great care of my puppy. She made sure he went outside when need be and kept in touch with how he was doing. She was also very flexible when we had to be away from home longer than expected.”
