Dog Sitting Union Grove

About: (I go by Dakota, so some testimonies might call me that) I started off pet sitting for neighbors when I was about 14. I would feed, let out, and walk the dogs, and feed and clean cat litter boxes as needed. I moved up to dog sitting for family friends, old coworkers, and coworkers’ clients about three years ago, where I would do the same, and even bathe dogs if needed. I have experience pet sitting rodents and reptiles as well! I am currently not working a job, so I have all the time to give your babies the love and attention they need and deserve! I have experience with body language in dogs, so I can always tell when your baby is happy, upset, or uncomfortable. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, no problem! I can take your fur baby on a secure leash outside!

About: Hello! I study Vet Science at UW Madison and have extensive experience in both dog and cat humane societies, kennels, and have had dogs my whole life and cats for 3 years now. My dogs Jojo and Jagger are very energetic, and Indy is my tortie and the love of my life :) I tend to work weekends at my families business but can change my availability based on how familiar I get with your pet(s). I am always available to talk and will respond quickly to messages! I love to engage with pets and learn their body language, I will always have a ball or stick while walking your dog, but also understand when they need a break. My priority is making them feel as at home as possible, while earning experience in the field I love. I have patience for both cats and dogs, and will watch carefully to not over pet, play, or initiate with shy animals. Tell me more about your pet to help me help them be as comfortable as they can be!

“Tami was always right on time. All of my animals were comfortable with her. She did a great job with all of them. This was the first time we have left our fur babies with someone they didn't already know. We were nervous but now we are at ease as long as Tami is available.”

“Declan clearly dedicates his time making sure our dog is mentally and physically engaged during his visits, which is not an easy feat with an energized 6mo lab! We are very grateful to have an enthusiastic and experienced handler like Declan around.”

“Jack is great. I had to book last minute and jack was more than accommodating. I will absolutely book with him again! My cat also seemed to love him.”

About: I've had cats my entire life and have volunteered at an animal shelter. While I only have one cat now, I've cared in-depth for dogs, reptiles, rabbits, and other small mammals. I've helped care for a senior pet that needed regular meds and frequent reprieves for bladder control. I have a full time job, so I am able to care for your pets first thing in the mornings before I go to work and then after I am finished with my workday, so if your pet is used to the normal 8-5 hours of being alone, I’m a perfect fit for your family! I am familiar with socialization, crate training, daily activity, and all-around love that is required for dogs and cats. I am no stranger to the more hands-off needs of a small mammal or scaled friend, and am comfortable handling all sorts of pets. I am respectful of a client's home and will treat it as if it were my own. I do ask that I can adjust the temperature and that I will be comfortable staying in your home.

“Jason is a great care taker of our dogs and has bonded so well with them. He is responsive with timely communication and also provides good updates.”

“Alex was great! We knew our cats were well taken care of and got lots of love while we were gone. She did a great job with everything, including their complicated feeding routine. We also appreciate the updates and pictures while we were gone. Will definitely book her again!”

Jill H.

“Emily was great as always! Very communicative, flexible, and kind to my kitties. My cats can be wary around people, so the fact that they're comfortable with her says a lot about her character and disposition. I cannot recommend Emily enough!”

About: I am a single mom and full-time student looking for pet care jobs this summer and fall! I have two little boys with a lot of energy and one five-year-old puppy!! I am home most days all day every day until my school schedule picks up. I’m available for walks, pet sitting, and tons of little things in between! I have a five year-old female Saint Bernard mix who is incredible with other dogs as well as kids. Depending on the care that you need I am available to let the dog out anytime they need. Whether they are at my house or I stop by to let them out/take them on a walk. I ask that if I do care for your dogs, making sure I know they’re good with little children.

“cali did a great job, was friendly and on time. We will definitely be using her services again.”

“Tiffany is wonderful! Very good with my puppy. She communicates very well if there are any scheduling changes and is flexible.”

About: My uncle bred certified schnauzers and I was always willing to lend a hand where needed. I also grew up around other breeds such as German Shepard, beagles, Shitzus, Great Pyrenees and many others. So I am fine with any size dog. I am off almost every weekend and have a lot of time on my hands during the day. I do this because currently I can’t have a dog so I plan on treating yours as my own. I will respect your home as if it’s my own. Shoot need a little clean up I will sure be down to do a little cleaning.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire childhood and in my adult life that I love but I couldn’t wait to have a dog of my own to take care of and train. I have a rotating 48/96 schedule at work that allows me to have multiple different days off throughout the week. Jason works from home so he is always available to your pets for boarding and doggy day care. We have one very friendly and loving Goldendoodle that would love for other dogs to play with him. He loves going to the dog park so that would be available throughout the day as well. We are also able to crate your dog if necessary.

About: I have had all kinds of dogs & a cat since I was a kid; Schnauzers, Beagles, Pittie mixes, and a Chihuahua. My girlfriend & I currently have a 10 year old pitty named Cannoli, a son to be 2 year old pitty- Great Pyrenees named Carl and 2 12 year old chihuahuas named Tyson and Felix. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets while they are away. I am currently available during the week Monday-Friday 10am-10pm (and some weekends), so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for walks or drop ins. Would love to regularly walk or drop in with your furry friends weekly or a few times a week! Active pet sitter near parks & walking trails. I enjoy taking pups on long walks or runs outdoors, or even just providing some company in the house while your are away.

“100% recommend! Rachel was on time, trustworthy and even followed up on an issue my dog had to make sure I was aware. He loved her! Thank you Rachel for a wonderful experience!”

About: Hey there! My name is Diamond, & I am what you would call DEDICATED. I will forever go above & beyond for every 4-leg (and 2-leg) individual that I come into contact with! (I have 200+ pictures to prove it! ❤️) I wish to meet & love on every dog & cat in the world….and I believe I am moving into the right direction to do just that ☺️ I am absolutely ecstatic to meet, care for & love on your pup! I’m always available for a meet & greet, (free of charge) you pick the date! I have over 30 years of experience with dogs. I was actually raised with two BEAUTIFUL, massive, well-trained, protective & just outright AMAZING Rottweilers in my home. I’ve always had passionate soft spot for each & every animal in the world, but dogs became my absolute favorite! Growing up, my father was (and still is) a professional dog trainer. I was intrigued while attending many sessions to watch him & learn how he trained most dogs under 1 day! And of course my favorite part was meeting every pup at the end of each class! I’ve found myself looking for the perfect pet sitter for my now deceased Rottweilers, quite a few times. Which eventually led me to become the pet sitter that I myself used to search for! ☺️ I enjoy & cherish all dogs, I assure you no dog is too big or small and all senior or baby pups are welcomed as well ❤️ Most of the time I am available 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week. I make sure to update my calendar daily so that you are seeing accurate availability on your end! I love to go on long walks, slow morning jogs, and enjoy nature with a bike ride through the trails a few blocks away from my home. There’s also a lakefront just a few blocks away! If your doggy wants extra curricular activity, that’s just what they’ll get! Their exercise will fit right into my daily exercise routine ☺️ Going on Adventures with your pups is what I look forward to! Be prepared to come back to a TIRED but relaxed & calm pup. We’ll be sure to send you a TON of pictures so you can see exactly how much fun we had ☺️ We can also have laid back days, cuddles on the couch while I’m intrigued by a good book or watching a good Netflix or Hulu series. Whichever way the the day may go… both you & your pup will be completely satisfied! I do my best to avoid household accidents. Therefore, your dog will go out to relieve themselves every 2 hours. (Every hour can also be accommodated if needed.) From past experiences, I’ve realized that mimicking routines & rules exactly how they are done in the pets home, at my own home alleviates a lot of stress. They may be in a new environment but their routine & schedule will be the same in my home. Example: If your pup is allowed on furniture at home, the pup is allowed on furniture at my home. If your pup is not allowed on furniture at home, your pup is not allowed on furniture in my home. I will ask you specific questions so that I keep the schedule of walking, feeding, & playing very similar if not the exact same, as you would at home. I can also provide positive dog/puppy training with the clicker or with treats. My goal is for you to never stress about needing a pet sitter ever again & for your pup to forget that you’re away ❤️ I am available 24/7. My twins & I go for walks/bike rides daily already, so your pup will fit right in with our daily routine! I also have a HUGE backyard! Your pup will love playing fetch with the freedom to run as far as they want without a care in the world! I care for pets the same way I would care for a toddler (they’re very similar lol!) Making sure all chemicals, irritants, or any hazardous products are all stored somewhere that’s high up and/locked away, feeding on schedule, bathrooms breaks on schedule or when signs of needing to go to bathroom are shown, and plenty of exercise, toys, water & nap time!

About: I have been a dog lover my whole life! Dogs have been apart of my family since I was kid. We have loved a wide variety of breeds from small dogs to large dogs. I also have experience as a dog walking volunteer at the Racine County Humane society! Through this position and my home life I have walked dogs from 5-100+lbs. My family calls me the dog whisperer and I've always felt so at peace walking or spending time with pups! I am a recent grad with my Masters in Physician Assistant Studies. I work as an Emergency Medicine PA offering me flexibility with my schedule. I would love to help care for your pets in my off time. Animals bring me so much joy and I will treat your pet as one of my own! I am able to work with pets of high energy as well as more docile pups! I am comfortable using crates as well as kennels.

“My somewhat shy and very skittish pups. Emmi and Avrie, loved Megan from the first moment they met her! She took great care of them while I was away and even gave one a bath after a "fecal incident", including snuggle time after so my pup was warm and calm before Megan left. She even put my personal bedding in to wash so I didn't have to come home to a mess!!! I will definitely be using her again :D”

About: I have grown up with dogs. We’ve had variety of different breeds from huskies to little pomeranians. My doggo’s name's are Bernie, Eevee, and Lexus. I will provide quality care for your animals. I have 3 cats, 3 dogs, a bearded dragon, a snake, pacman frog, and birds. Pet care fits into my every day routine. I love animals. There are local dog parks that I would take your fur baby to if your dog gets along with others. I will walk your dog for you if that is what you require. My dogs are completely fine being around other dogs so if you're comfortable with it I can bring my puppy to play!(:
