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.

Loved having Mary take care of my cat! She was very communicative from the beginning. This is the first time I've used Rover, and it was so reassuring to have detailed reports and several pictures per visit. She also scheduled a pre drop-in meeting with me to get a feel for the space and meet my cat. I will definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for drop-ins!

About: have extensive experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I have cared for cats from kitten age through adulthood, including feeding, litter box care, playtime, socialization, and monitoring changes in behavior or health. I’m patient with shy cats and know that some cats need time and a calm approach before they feel comfortable. I enjoy providing companionship, keeping their routine consistent, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, special routines, and medication needs when requested.

About: I am a proud mother of a 9yr old son and an 15 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.

About: I have spent my entire life caring for animals. Throughout my life I have had many animals from birds and Guinea pigs to cats and dogs. Koda, my youngest dog was completely trained by me in German commands. Working with dogs to learn new things is one of my favorite things to do. My oldest dog, Motley is a senior and the past couple years I have become very educated and trained on administration of medication and post surgery care. With experience from my own pets, I have many reliable references I have gained over the years that can vouch for me on my loving, dedicated, and superior care with their fur babies. I am currently a nanny and have almost completely open availability. I work Monday through Thursday during the day but can still do visits anytime! And I’m off Friday through Sunday so anytime those days as well! When visiting your home I am happy to provide any services you may need for your pet. This includes special feeding instructions, medication distribution, daily walks, baths, guaranteed playtime, and more all while treating them as my own with so much love! I am also happy to do drop in visits while you are at work or walks to get your babies steps in.

About: I have years of experience caring for pets and understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your furry loved ones while you’re away. I’m a registered nurse, which means I’m detail-oriented, responsible, and comfortable following specific care instructions. I’m happy to help with feeding schedules, routines, medications (if needed), and keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind. I offer loving, reliable care in your home, including drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and house checks. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I would love the opportunity to meet your pets and provide the dependable care they deserve! I offer flexible scheduling for pet care visits and can work with pet owners to find times that fit their pets’ routines. I am available for drop-in visits, feeding, litter box care, playtime, and companionship while owners are away. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make every effort to provide dependable care and keep owners updated with messages and photos during visits. I am available for scheduled daytime visits and can discuss specific needs, routines, and availability with each client. Your pets’ safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide calm, dependable care. I care for pets by treating them with patience, kindness, and attention to their individual needs. I believe pets do best when they have a consistent routine, a safe environment, and plenty of love and companionship. I make sure pets are fed according to their owner’s instructions, have fresh water, a clean space, and time for play, attention, and comfort. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, or energy levels so I can communicate any concerns quickly. With cats especially, I understand the importance of respecting their space, earning their trust, maintaining litter box routines, and providing gentle interaction based on their personality. As a registered nurse, I’m trained to pay close attention to details, follow instructions carefully, and recognize when something may not be right. I understand how important it is to communicate clearly and provide updates so you know your pets are safe and cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel secure while their owners are away.

About: I started pet sitting when I worked at my first vet clinic. And, because I love animals so much, I have never stopped. I grew up with dogs, cats, ducks and every pet in between! Currently, I have 2 dogs, a Jack-Russell mix named Jake and a Beagle mix named Macy. They are extremely pet/people friendly and they love new company! Also, I worked as a veterinary assistant for a a few years, so I am very comfortable with administering medications and taking care of your pets special needs. I will provide whatever accommodations that are needed and I will make sure that your pets feel safe and comfortable. Most of all, I will always keep an open line of communication with you. I know how it feels being away form your pet and I know the importance of regular updates and pics. I look forward to hearing from you and I can’t wait to met your pets! :) 🏡 House Sitting + Boarding 🏡 (Overnight) Evening - Morning; I do offer some flexibility, however there could be an additional fee if check in/out times are drastically different from what I have set. I currently work from home full time. This means I can fully dedicate all of my time to your fur babies and their individual needs. I will care for your pet/pets the same way every single time. And, I will always treat your pet/pets as is if he or she were my own.
