Personalized care for your dog or cat - Oakdale

“Jaimie was fabulous!!! I recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter! She came over for a meet and greet prior to my dogs stay and he fell in love with her right away. She is willing to do anything to make your dog comfortable including her friendly dog Waylon that is gentle, but loves to play. He greeted my dog along with Jaimie. I brought everything he likes at home to make him feel comfortable including food, but I think he liked her food better! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day. She also offered to keep him an extra night and drop him off free of charge to accommodate her schedule as well as ours. I think Busch enjoyed his vacation more than ours! Fabulous, just fabulous!”

“Zoe really enjoyed staying at Jamie's house with her family and dogs. She is always playing and smiling in the photos. Jamie was very accommodating in extending Zoe's stay.”

About: I have a background in both education and dog training, so I focus heavily on structure, communication, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I have experience working with dogs of all ages, energy levels, and personalities, including puppies, high-energy breeds, and dogs that benefit from extra patience or routine. I’m CPR certified, experienced with enrichment-based care, and comfortable reinforcing basic training skills such as leash manners, recall, sit/down, place, and calm behavior during visits and walks. I also have experience with hunting and working breeds, so I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation. What sets me apart most is that I genuinely enjoy building trust and relationships with the dogs I care for. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure each dog feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for while you’re away. I also provide reliable communication and updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I intentionally keep openings in my schedule for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and individualized care. I currently have availability most mornings, a few evenings, and select weekends which allows me to provide consistent attention and flexible scheduling for clients. Because I prioritize quality care and reliability, I carefully manage my schedule to make sure each pet receives plenty of time, attention, exercise, and communication while in my care. believe every dog is different, so I focus heavily on each pet’s individual needs, personality, comfort level, and routine. Some dogs need lots of exercise and enrichment, while others need a calmer environment, patience, or extra reassurance while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home or my own, I take time to learn their feeding schedule, potty routine, energy level, favorite activities, training expectations, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and secure. I adjust my care style based on the individual dog rather than taking a “one size fits all” approach. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, understood, and cared for while maintaining as much consistency and routine as possible.

“Our little 15-year-old cat has had quite a few care givers in her lifetime and Jaimie is the best of the best. She’s friendly, conscientious, caring, and so, so good with animals (and people 🙂). There’s nothing like leaving town and knowing for certain your little friend is in kind, competent hands! 😻❤️”

About: I am genuinely interested in making sure your dog receives the best care possible while you are away. My dog is currently living in Maryland so I am pretty lonely up here in Wisconsin. Any special requests for services will be considered and I look forward to taking care of your dog! Although I do not have formal dog care experience I have had a dog my entire life and have made sure that they were treated like a member of the family. I have had big dogs all my life and have experience with high energy dogs as well. Before the first service is given I would like to meet your dog with you there so that I can make sure he/she will not be shocked when I come and give the first walk/drop-in. I am currently in the Army so I have time very early in the morning and throughout the evening to care for dogs. I am also free pretty much every weekend so I have a lot time to care for pets then too. I let my dogs on all furniture in my house, but I can keep them off the furniture if that is your wish. I am available to care for your pet in your home/backyard and can take them on extended walks on dog-friendly trails as well.

“Samantha goes above and beyond when watching your pet and is such a go-getter with an insane attention to detail! We feel so at ease when we leave town now knowing that our pet will be well taken care of!”

Sarah K.

“Emily took great care of our three kitties. We felt so comfortable knowing they were in her hands while we were away. It’s great to see pictures of them playing and doing their usual things when we can’t be there with them.”

Ann Y.

“Rebecca is a fantastic pet sitter! Her communication with us was exemplary. She sent us a note every morning before she went over to our house, and then more notes and photos as she cared for our two cats. She followed our instructions to a T, and we returned to two happy cats! We definitely will ask her to cat-sit for us again! Thank you, Rebecca!”

Kara M.

“Great with updates and pictures! Took great care of my little one and kept me updated.”

Lily D.

“I don’t even know where to begin. Jaimie is an outstanding, compassionate human being with the patience of a goddess. She took on my two 10 month old Black Labs, Duke and Eli like they were her own. She was so welcoming and kind when I got there and this was my boys first stay away from me. They loved her, her husband and their dog. I received almost hourly updates with photos and she didn’t even known but they have GPS collars on and it showed they walked with her, 22,000 steps. They were happy, well fed, loved and exhausted. Jaimie, you are amazing….keep up all the good energy and thank u again. We will be back!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind ever since I was 16. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets and I stay and clean up houses. I also and volunteering and fostering dogs from the humane society I am currently available anytime you need me. I can answer any questions you have.I can always have fun with your dogs and keep you up to date on your animal I have a fence in yard. I have 4 friendly dogs all chihuahua mixes and they lover other dogs. My Chiweenie loves bigger dogs. I can always boarded and stay at your house if you need me too.

About: I have owned everything from hamsters to horses and everything in between. I am extremely passionate about animals and have been an animal lover for over 30 years. I will care for your animals like they are my own. I am honest and reliable, you won't regret choosing me. If your animal loves human contact, they will love any of the services I provide for them. I am currently home all day, every day. Your pets will be pampered with plenty of social interaction with me and my children (when their not in school) but if your pet does not care for children time, that works too as both of my children understand pets needs. Your pets safety is my number one priority. I will take care of your pet in the exact way you request. I do not leave pets outside unattended.I look forward to meeting you and your Furry Friends (feathery or scaly too!)

“Ana has been absolutely amazing! I decided to hire her to walk my dog while I was laid up with an ACL repair. She made getting my dog walked easy. She’s great with Charlie. I would highly recommend her! I will surely be using her for the next several weeks.”

About: What sets me apart? When your pet is in my care (at my home or your own), I make them my priority from start to finish and treat them like my own. When guest dogs are staying in my home I sleep with them in our spare bedroom (no kenneling at night or during the day unless you request I do so) and if I'm house sitting you can rest assured that I will leave your home and pets as good or better than I found them. I never charge extra for walks, playing fetch, taking them on a car ride, or doing an activity they enjoy. I want your pet to feel like they're on vacation, too :) When I'm house sitting for a client I aim to be there the entire time, and since I work remotely (as long as you have quality wi-fi) I am able to work from your home - this means your pet gets even more time and attention, and if I do have to leave it will only be for a very short period and I will communicate this to you prior. If you do not need/want me there 24/7 we can discuss and adjust price based on what we agree upon during our meet and greet. I aim to be as flexible as possible to meet both your need and your budget... I know this is an investment! I am here because I love the idea of helping other pet-parents know their pets can be taken care of when they are busy or want to enjoy time away with loved ones. I am also here because anyone who knows me knows how much I love animals :) both my own and any animal I meet. I have experience with all sorts of animals and I'm equally as comfortable with both dogs and cats... big and small. I also have experience with tricky behaviors (aggressiveness, food guarding, potty training, learning to walk on a leash, teaching commands, etc.). I can administer medicine, communicate with vet offices effectively, and I am known for providing all of the updates/pictures/videos someone would like while I'm caring for their pet! For awareness, dogs and cats are kept separate in our home. We do this for safety :) There is an underground fence for our dogs and this is an option if your dogs are collar trained. If not, no problem - I am happy to take pets out on a leash. Safety is my top priority, so I will strictly follow the instructions given for your pet(s). When it comes to inside the home, I will closely monitor all play/interactions and if needed, I will separate and/or give primarily 1 on 1 time with your pet if that is what they require. Please note: if you live more than 45 miles from my address I do charge a 1x flat fee of $50.00 while house sitting. Similarly, if you live more than 25 miles from my address I charge a 1x flat fee of $12.00 for dog walking and/or drop-in visits. Thank you for your understanding!

“Emily was great to work with as someone I could trust to walk my dog and check in on my cats! Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing pet care services”

About: I have had multiple breeds of dogs or cats my whole life. I love all sorts of animals. They are more than a pet, they are family to me. I am working mom that just enjoys helping others out by watching their pets while they are out of town. I work typically 8am to 5 pm Tuesday through Saturdays and am available Sunday and Mondays any time. I am flexible. Each pet is different, but typically I make sure the pet is fed and has water. I allow for play time and depending on the weather, for dogs I will take for walks or play outside.

“Kara is a wonderful dog walker! My girls love seeing her and the walks she's takes them on.”

Rachel L.

“We’ve used Sarah twice now for dog walking Maxwell. She’s been very accommodating with coming when we needed her to so Maxwell doesn’t go too long without a walk. We’ve gotten pictures and reports on how it went. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furry family member.”

“Rebecca did a phenomenal job with our dog and was very good at communicating during the entire process. Thank you again!”
