Karen was great for our puppy. She kept us informed and when we came to pick her up, our pup looked happy and in great shape. I would use Karen again. We are nervous about overnight boarding , but after reading Karen’s reviews, she was the caretaker we wanted.

Ozzie loves going to Carrie’s house. He recognizes the street and gets excited. When he’s handed off to her he’s excited to go inside immediately. Thank you Carrie for taking care of Ozzie. I know he can be a handful at times.

About: I have at somepoint had 100+ pets with my ex that we took care of together. I have adopted "agressive" pets only for them just needing a loving home to feel comfortable. We also fostered a bunch of pets to help when APL was struggling for space. I do have a very busy schedule myself. However I make time to spend with our pets. We make homemade food for them and have a bunch of toys for them to play with. My partner is a stay at home spouse so no one gets into too much mischief. I view pets as family members and they have the comfort of laying on the couch and bed with us. We have a decently big yard with a fence for them to run about and have outside time.

Kim was great with Chase! He was so in love with her 6yr old son, I was informed they loved on each other all weekend ☺️. They really made me comfortable leaving him, Chase is the only dog and can get really anxious around strangers but he did GREAT! She kept me updated and with pics 😊, addressed all my concerns. Would highly recommended her and Penny, I will definitely be back if I ever need a sitter again!!

Here’s a polished positive review you could use: Kristen was absolutely wonderful watching my two boy dogs while I was on vacation. She was friendly, reliable, and very communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated regularly and was always quick to respond to messages. Most importantly, my boys absolutely loved her! It was clear they were well cared for, happy, and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and I would gladly book with her again.

About: I have experience fostering dogs with the animal shelter APL and have a small toy poodle of my own. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. I love dogs and would love to have the opportunity to watch dogs and take care of others! I am open to watching dogs for a couple hours, a day, or even a couple of days if that is what is needed. My house has a small backyard and I am also available to do drop ins at the dogs own home. The area is very quiet and would be comfortable for another dog to be in. If I am caring for someone else's dog I plan on being home for the time I'm watching the dog so that it will be well taken care of. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I am available early mornings or early afternoons to give your animal a break during the workday! I am also available any time on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have a toy poodle and a golden retriever. I can also do drops in to walk or play with your dog as well!

Lisa was a fabulous caregiver for my cat, Rizzo! She is a loving and caring person and went above and beyond the perimeters of our engagement and spent extra time with him, bought him toys, and watched over my house and watered flowers too in my absence. I highly recommend her for any pet care or house sitting or both.

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 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.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for over 15 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and great at reading animal behavior, whether that means giving energetic dogs plenty of exercise or providing calm, gentle care for seniors or anxious pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time and set my own schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and accommodating to my clients’ needs. I’m able to adjust my availability for walks, drop-ins, or extended care, including weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize clear communication to ensure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I have a fenced-in yard and prioritize a calm, safe environment for all pets in my care. I have two cats who are kept comfortably separated with their own space when dogs are visiting, as I understand transitions can be challenging. I’m very mindful of introductions, happy to crate dogs if needed, and always follow owner preferences and routines to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for.

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.

About: I have 3 German shepherds, and I know how much care goes into making sure they are well-fed, trained, and taken care of. Your pets are family, and I would treat them as though they were my own. I also am a runner, and I run with my own dogs - up to 3 at a time (size and temperament dependent). If you have a dog who loves to run (or who needs to), I would love to have them join the crew. I also do graphic design work specifically for people and their animals. Happy to produce some pictures for you for an additional fee! I generally can do morning and PM visits for the pets! My schedule is NOT a 9-5, but I work around what I need to. Spending time with the pets is my favorite work I do! I treat every animal as if they were my own. That means lots of play time, attention, and overall just good fun. That being said, if you have house rules, then we will follow them accordingly.

About: I have experience fostering dogs with the animal shelter APL and have a small toy poodle of my own. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. I love dogs and would love to have the opportunity to watch dogs and take care of others! I am open to watching dogs for a couple hours, a day, or even a couple of days if that is what is needed. My house has a small backyard and I am also available to do drop ins at the dogs own home. The area is very quiet and would be comfortable for another dog to be in. If I am caring for someone else's dog I plan on being home for the time I'm watching the dog so that it will be well taken care of. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I am available early mornings or early afternoons to give your animal a break during the workday! I am also available any time on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have a toy poodle and a golden retriever. I can also do drops in to walk or play with your dog as well!

I’m thankful that I found Andrew on here! Lady, our rescue has issues with strangers. Andrew and I scheduled several meet & greets along with a trial walk. I was extremely impressed with how gentle and patient he was with her, it seemed like a perfect fit. I went from being completely nervous booking to complete relief after her first walk with him. I definitely recommend him!

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 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 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.

About: I have at somepoint had 100+ pets with my ex that we took care of together. I have adopted "agressive" pets only for them just needing a loving home to feel comfortable. We also fostered a bunch of pets to help when APL was struggling for space. I do have a very busy schedule myself. However I make time to spend with our pets. We make homemade food for them and have a bunch of toys for them to play with. My partner is a stay at home spouse so no one gets into too much mischief. I view pets as family members and they have the comfort of laying on the couch and bed with us. We have a decently big yard with a fence for them to run about and have outside time.

Kim was great with Chase! He was so in love with her 6yr old son, I was informed they loved on each other all weekend ☺️. They really made me comfortable leaving him, Chase is the only dog and can get really anxious around strangers but he did GREAT! She kept me updated and with pics 😊, addressed all my concerns. Would highly recommended her and Penny, I will definitely be back if I ever need a sitter again!!

Here’s a polished positive review you could use: Kristen was absolutely wonderful watching my two boy dogs while I was on vacation. She was friendly, reliable, and very communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated regularly and was always quick to respond to messages. Most importantly, my boys absolutely loved her! It was clear they were well cared for, happy, and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and I would gladly book with her again.

Kari is a rare find!!! I am new to the area and have used Kari a few times. Her and her husband are very kind and great to my dogs. My dogs used to come home from being boarded at a facility and sleep for days from being so stressed. I pick them up from Kari’s and they are ready to play!?!! Highly recommend ❤️❤️
