About: I grew up on a farm with many various animals, tending to their needs all year round. We also raised Great Pyreneese, and I trained my dog in 4-H! I'm currently in nursing school, so I have time around classes during the week. Monday and Wednesday, I am available until 12 and after 2:45. Tuesday and Thursday, I am free before 11 and after 12:15! My schedule does differ so feel free to reach out! In your home, I follow your routines, secure doors and gates, double-check leashes, monitor constantly, and keep your pup calm, safe, and comfortable while you’re away.

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: Cat's have always held a special place in my heart! I have personally owned and treated cat's with conditions like diabetes, kidney failure, urinary issues and hyperthyroidism. I know my way around a kitty burrito to calmly give medication if needed. Or if they are like my cat he didn't mind the shot or pill as long as a treat or ear scratch was involved! I am very skilled with a litter box and broom. I know how messy they can get with it 🤣 I also love to give updates with photos. If they are more of a run and hide kitty that's okay too. I will just make sure they have a clean space and fresh food and water!

About: I have experience with diabetic cats and dogs, as well as animals that need saline boluses. I've had cats, dogs, and birds my whole life, and have had lots of experience handing cats and dogs who need extra care. If you pet has a CGM I'm familiar with those too, and am happy to keep you updated on monitored levels. I love spending time brushing and keeping up with grooming, abs have experience with long haired shih-tzus and Maine coons, so if your furry friend also needs a little extra care in the grooming department, I'm more than happy to provide! I'm on sabbatical from a research position so I thought I'd spend some time getting out of the house and enjoy the company of some furry friends on occasion. I an very respectful of your home and the safety and security of your pet and home are incredibly important to me. Litter boxes will always be clean, as will bowls and any occasional messes or accidents your furry family makes.

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’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy taking care of them. I don’t have pets of my own right now, but I’ve been pet sitting on and off for several years and have cared for friends’ dogs, cats, fish, and hamsters. I’ve also helped friends find new homes for their pets, including providing a temporary place for some animals to stay while they waited to go to their new home. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality and routine. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I take the time to get to know each pet and what makes them comfortable. I’m happy to follow their normal routines, take dogs on walks and give them plenty of exercise and attention, and make sure they’re well cared for while their owners are away. I work from home three days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening walks, as well as feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m also regularly in two different locations throughout the week, so I’m able to provide care in both areas. I live in a small, quiet space, which provides a calm and comfortable environment for pets staying in my home. Since I don’t currently have pets of my own, they would have my full attention and I can focus on making them feel safe and comfortable. I would follow the routine and instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any other specific needs. I’m also able to be present and provide companionship throughout their stay.

About: I run a full service, pet boarding and grooming business. I am on site seven days a week and personally care for each and every pet. My kennels are oversized and every one has a large outdoor run. I also have a fenced in yard for plenty of running room and play time. I take caring for and loving you fur baby very seriously! Pet care is my full-time job! I give my best to all furry friends that stay with us. You can rest easy knowing your baby is in good hands! Each pet is unique and I tailor my care to their needs. I have two wings of kennels, separated by a pass through room. Pets that need a quieter stay can be separated from the more spirited friends!
