Personalized care for your dog or cat - Dakota

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Dakota
“Michelle took such great care of our pup while we were away for a week. She sent pictures and videos every day to let us know how much fun he was having. Stewie loved the big backyard and the other dogs too. Michelle gave Stewie lots of love and attention, and he looked so happy and relaxed in every photo. Stewie is a picky eater and Michelle worked with him to get him to eat well while he was with her. Stewie was never left alone while he was in Michelle’s care. I would highly recommend Michelle to care for the pets of my friends and family. Stewie was treated like part of their family, and I know he was well taken care of.”

About: I grew up with animals and have been dog sitting for 16+ years. I’m experienced with puppies, training, senior care, and dogs of all personalities. I’ve also cared for other animals, including horses and household pets. I treat every animal like family and provide loving, attentive care! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals throughout the day, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply giving them companionship and attention. I’m flexible and happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs and schedule. I have two loving dogs at home who enjoy walks, hikes, retrieving, deer tracking, and swimming. During drop-in visits, I’m happy to feed, play with, walk, and give your pets plenty of attention and love while you’re away.
“Anna loved her stay with Becky!! We got awesome updates throughout the weekend. This was absolutely wonderful & we cant wait to have our baby stay with her again! 5+ stars!”

“Thank you for your help and extra care you gave Bailey. Sorry it was a little late. I appreciate the hospitality. I will definitely reach out to you guys again if I never need someone for Bailey. Thanks for all the wonderful pictures and good communication.”

“Sadie’s was a great pet caregiver to our 4 month old puppy. This was the first time we left him with someone for a few days, and, he loved it! She shared pictures throughout his stay of his playtime and nap time. He was a tired puppy when he came home. He will visit with her again!”

“Emily was wonderful with our German Shepherd. She took time with us to make us comfortable when we left him. She slowly introduced him to her other dogs and was very aware of how he was handling the interactions. We would recommend her services!”


About: Hello! I’m Michelle, a lifelong dog lover with 14 years of experience caring for pets. I recently said goodbye to my beloved senior Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and I’m excited to continue sharing that love and care with other furry friends. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, making me available for dog walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. Whether your pup needs a neighborhood stroll, fresh food and water, some playtime and belly rubs, or simply a little companionship, I’ll treat them like family. Feel free to reach out with any questions about my services or availability, and we can set up a meet-and-greet with your fur babies! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule - so I am more than happy to work with you based on your needs, schedule, and situation etc. . I will care for your dog as my own, dropping in- playing, cuddling, giving treats, belly rubs, walks around the neighborhood and refreshing water/food bowls.

About: Hello and thank you for checking out my profile! Your family member will see me as one of their own, I am patient and allow them to get used to a new face. Active, adventurous and out going are a lot of traits I hold and can help your dog exert. A well exercised mind, calls for a calm well trained dog! I will come in and check up otherwise if requested I can stay at the home and keep them company! I am flexible and willing to work with your specific requirements as our dogs are our family! Please consider me when welcoming a new face into the family, I would be happy to work with your schedule. Thank you very much and have a wonderful day! Emily Flasch

“Mercedes did a great job! She let me know when she arrived at our house and left our house. She sent daily pictures and let me know how our Zoe was doing! I’d use Mercedes again!”
“Ashley is wonderful - respectful, professional, and genuinely loves animals. I’m not sure what else one could want when trusting someone with their pets! I was recommended her and will be recommending to others as well as booking her in the future. Thank you!”

About: Bilingual and able to communicate with families in Spanish, as well. Neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for their pets/homes for almost 7 years. They often say we're (my fiance and I) the only ones they trust to care for their pets. I have experience with senior pets and worked at a rescue previously. Excited to be going full time pet sitting/walking in 2026! I'm very reliable, flexible and am available last minute, 7 days a week and on holidays. I take extra care to keep pets happy, safe and comfortable. I follow instructions given and use caution when necessary to prevent any escapes. I do not do boarding in my home.
About: I’ve had two dogs growing up, a mini boxer and a French bulldog. I’ve cared for them all my life. I have bathed, walked, fed, and gave them so much love. We got our Puppy when I was 14, so I have a lot of experience caring for puppies as well. I didn’t grow up in a home with cats, but I love them too. I’ve had lots of experience cat sitting and get along with them well too! I am a masters student at UW-Stevens Point, in the Natural Resources department. I will not be able to provide services mid day Fridays or Mondays, but I am flexible the rest of the week! I will always follow your directions and keep a good baseline of contact with you! I am not allowed to board pets in my apartment, but I will always be respectful of your space as well.

“Lensy did a great job pet sitting at our house for three nights. She sent a lot of pictures that showed that Reggie was having a good time. We came home to a happy cat and our house was just as we had left it. We greatly appreciated her services!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I have been 8 years old. I have had dogs all of my life and am experienced with puppies and elderly dogs as well. I would love to play, walk, or even just provide companionship for your dog. I work full time but I am currently available part time Tuesday through Thursday to care for your pet. PMs are better for me but I can be flexible as well. My dogs are crate trained but only while I am away from home. They walk well on leashesand also have a nice fenced in area to play in my yard. I am comfortable caring for your pet to your preference and your pet's preference.

“Emily accommodated us when our plans had to change suddenly and we needed someone to watch our pups for several hours. Her directions were great and she greeted us right away with a smile. The pups were comfortable to walk away from us with her which says a lot. She cleared the hike in advance and kept in touch with us. The boys were happy and mellow when we met to pick them and she was very understanding about their sometimes car sickness. We’d definitely recommend her as she was great with our pups and they can sometimes be a handful.”

“Dropped Nelli off for daycare and both Nancy and Dennis greeted us when we pulled in the driveway. Beautiful home and fenced yard. You can tell they were very happy to meet us and Nelli. Nelli was well cared for and pictures and updates were sent, which is always a comfort. Had such a positive experience that we immediately booked again for an overnight.”

About: Hello! My name is Sadie. I’m a board certified behavior analyst who works with children on the Autism Spectrum. I have a soft spot in my heart for all animals- I was that child that stepped over ants to avoid squishing them. I grew up with a Springer Spaniel, cats, and a rabbit (: I currently have 3 cats, Nimi, Gizmo, Figarro, and a dog named Perci. Additionally, I have experience caring for ferrets, goats, sheep, and fish. I’ll treat your animals as my own, and show them endless love and care. I’m super excited to meet you and your animals! I currently work full time M-F, but do make my own schedule. I see a lot of my clients either before or after work. I also have weekends off! Meet and greets are important to me for boarding to ensure it’s a good fit for your dog. However, I understand if it is not feasible. I have a dog and 3 cats who are free to roam the house and are allowed on furniture. My dog sleeps with me so yours is more than welcome to join the snuggle party! I also have a daughter (3 years old) who loves her animals, so your fur baby will get lots of love from all of us.
