About: I am a loving Grandma living in Menonimie who is ready take care of your dog like they are my own. I have been taking care of dogs my entire life (springers, puggles, Bernese mountain dogs, etc.). I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am recently retired and will make your dogs my priority while they are staying with me. I would love to know your dogs normal schedule at home and will replicate as closely as possible. I have a large yard and will take your dogs for walks throughout the day. They will receive lots of love, and I am very open to special requests to take the very best care of your dog and make them feel as comfortable as possible. Please just let me know. Thank you.
“I’m very happy with the services provided to me and my pup! Daily updates, along with pictures and videos eased my worries about leaving my dog while I had to travel for work. I would recommend Madeleine and Anthony for their daycare, and boarding services.”
“Our pup is turning 3 in June and we had never left her with anyone. We found Kessia and felt an instant connection. She confidently, but gently assured our pup and us that there was nothing to worry about, and her two pups instantly welcomed ours in playful banter. We have no concerns in leaving our pup with Kessia.”
“Our dog Chewy was excited to meet Korah the very first time and every time she saw her. Korah is enthusiastic and energetic. She sent pictures & notes every day of how well Chewy did each day. Her notes were reassuring that Chewy was eating, drinking and happy playing with his new friends. It was a great experience for Chewy. We felt confident that Chewy was receiving great care. We will definitely have Korah care for Chewy the next time we are gone.”
“We traveled outside of the country and picked Michelle based upon her reviews and history with animals. Even though we could not be reached, Michelle was wonderful with regular updates and even allowing arrangements for our new puppy to spend time with our 3 bigger boys that she was boarding while we were away. I also love that Michelle limits the number of fur babies that she boards at once, allowing much individual attention. We will definitely pick Michelle for future needs.”
“Beth is a fantastic caregiver for dogs! She gave us lots of updates and pictures and reached out with questions to make sure Nahla was happy and comfortable. Her yard and house is perfect for dogs to enjoy and be comfortable. Thanks for a wonderful stay!”
“Jake was great as always, our dog loves to stay with him. Jake sent photos and make sure our pup went for walks and had time in the yard. Would recommend him to anyone that will listen”
“Jennifer was great to work with and very friendly. She took time to meet with us ahead to get to know us and this helped us a lot since we had never used a boarding service before. Her own dogs are sweet and welcoming also, and she has family that help keep everyone happy. I recommend and would definitely work with her again in future!”
“Approved a last minute request due to an unexpected need to travel out of town - grateful for that! Was incredibly responsive to communication, sent photos and updates, and created an easy, smooth process for us. Conveniently located in Menomonie, and love that our dog had a fenced in back yard to run in. Would highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend. Very responsive throughout booking process and with updates during our pets stay. Diego came home happy and exhausted from all the fun he had. Would definitely book with Alex again”
About: Hi, I’m Bailey! 😄 I’ve had pets my whole life (30+ years) and have experience caring for dogs with extra needs, including daily insulin and neurological conditions. I currently have two cats, Mochi & Boba, and a dog, Charlie. Charlie loves making new doggie friends and would be happy to join on walks/drop ins if your dog is friendly, but no worries if they prefer solo time! I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and breeds. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a trip to the park, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to give your dog the care they need! ❤️ I’m currently working part time so I’m pretty flexible! I’m most flexible on the weekends & evenings, but I’m happy to work with your schedule and find a time that works best for you & your pet. I’ll come to your home to check on, care for, and love on your fur babies! I will make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and playtime while you’re away.
About: Having had pets all my life, I really understand how special dogs and cats are. I promise to treat your furry family member with the same care, respect, and love that they would expect at home. I have a flexible schedule and would like to fill my free time. Although I plan to go back to school in January, I’ll still be available for pet sitting. I have a fenced yard where your pup can play freely, and a cozy, smoke-free home perfect for snuggles. Currently, I don't have any pets in my home, and I'm preparing my space to be comfortable, warm, and welcoming for stays.
“Tiffany watched our two dogs while we were away on a trip. One dog is old and the other is full of energy. She is amazing and was very loving to our dogs. She sent me pictures and videos daily. I highly recommend her and will hopefully use her service again!”
“Charlie, our 4 legged family member, has enjoyed staying with Alisha and her family twice. We are so greatful to find such a fun, loving, dog sitter. We are all glad to return home....but, we know Charlie looks forward to our next trip, so he can spend time playing at Alisha's house. Till next time, Charlie and Pam ( Charlie's human)”

“Bonnie was great! She communicated with me every time she visited my cat and went above and behind cleaning up a mess my cat made and watering my plants. I would for sure have her take care of my cat again.”
“Cece took wonderful, loving care of our 2 cats while we were away. She followed all of my directions, and went the extra mile to try to comfort these spoiled boys. Will definitely be requesting Cece for our next trip.”
“Jess was friendly, communicative, and accommodating for our somewhat last-minute request for our cats’ drop-in visits! She shared updates and photos that let us know our pets were well taken care of while we were out-of-state. Would highly recommend - thank you, Jess!”
“Very satisfied with communication and call Ezra the ‘cat whisperer’! Our kitties were well taken care of and will definitely schedule again. Thank you so much! A real peace of mind 😊”
“Desiree was great. She followed the simple instructions I gave and would pick her again with my pets. Hopefully it is not short notice next time, but my usual sitter had a last-minute surgery. Macie can be a lot in spite of her age.”
“Taylor was great with my dog. He was well taken care of and the picture updated were great. She was available on very short notice which was greatly appreciated. This was our first time using rover and we would book with Taylor again.”
About: Aside from having a dog and two cats in my family home, I have walked dogs, pet sat, completed check-ins for both cats and dogs, and even have experience in extended stays! I am a busy college student looking to lighten the loads of pet-owners in my area! For the time being, I will primarily be available for check-ins and shorter walks due to my availability :) I love walking the neighborhoods of Menomonie, and exploring the many beautiful parks and water locations around! I have a car to transport dogs to parks if need be, otherwise I am always cautious of other animals when out, and make sure to keep our distance, just in case :)
About: Lifelong cat lover and owner. My partner Ayden and I have a little apartment with our two cats. When we’re not at school, we’re back on my family’s dairy farm, where there’s never a shortage of farm cats, kittens, and the occasional momma kitty, all in need of love
“Madeleine did an amazing job with Sunny! I loved the photos and updates, and seeing him warm up to the other cats and dogs :) We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Bailey did great looking after our cat for the weekend. I appreciated that she took the time to play with him and shared pictures! It seemed like he enjoyed his time with her and I would definitely book with her again.”
“Victoria has been my best cat sitter by far. I used her for drop-in visits and she kept me well informed on how Rascal was doing and his catitude for that day. She let me know the one day she found some puke and watched him the rest of the week for any new occurrences and let me know that his litter box looked normal on his sickish day as well. I'm hoping she's available for any future vacations I take as she will be my go-to catsitter.”
About: Cats have been a large part of my life, I have never lived without having at least 1. I’ve taken care of senior cats with higher needs to kittens that need hourly care. I am good at giving medication, friends and family go to me if they are having a hard time administering medication.

About: I've been around animals my whole life. I have a cat and have had several different dogs. I even fostered dogs for a summer. I'm now divorced and have my kids half the time. My work is flexible and I can add in dog care as needed throughout the day. I homeschool my boys when I have them and work delivery jobs when I don't. My work is very flexible so I can make time for per care any time. I live in town with a small yard. It works best to come to your home as it's most familiar for the animal. My home is a good size but has close neighbors. You can find my personal pet sitting page called Jessica's Pet Sitting on Facebook.
About: I have worked for roughly two years dog sitting for friends and family. Typically these have been in my own home - occasionally overnight. I have a fenced in back yard for my 3 dogs & 2 cats so I have experience with both :) I have complete availability currently, so my dog at home gets quite a lot of walks and park time. If possible, i also try to socialize him with people each day. Typically I take my dog to the dog park in the evening with a long walk in the morning. This works best for my dogs energy levels, but each dog is different. I am also trying to socialize my dog in public as he is a bit scared of humans so we try to hit some breweries here and there.
About: I’ve been watching dogs and cats since I was young. I love to walk dogs and spend lots of time playing together. I also enjoy caring for cats. I’m very reliable and am a good communicator. I would love to spend more time helping out with pets! I recently moved here and would love to watch some new furry friends. I’m employed part time currently and looking for full time work. I am very respectful of other people’s homes and properties. I am clean, quiet, and will communicate as often as you would like. I love to play with cats and dogs and will give them lots of attention.
“Harley had a great time! I appreciate the care and attention Madeleine and Anthony took to ensure he felt part of the group! Loved the pictures and feedback on how he was engaging with the other pups. We’ll be back!”
“Jacob was great for Charlie. My dog had a lot of anxiety and never met Jacob before but overall I could tell that Charlie was well taken care of and received lots of good support from Jacob. I would definitely use Jacob again.”
“Fantastic! Our dogs immediately felt comfortable in this calm and loving environment. Amanda sent pictures and messages to update on how they were doing. Could not have asked for more!”
“Tawni provided excellent care to my dog. Sent frequent updates and pictures and made sure we was taken care of. She had a fenced in yard which was perfect for my little chi.”

“Michelle was excellent! Our 8 month old Shih Tzu had two sweet pups to play with all day! What fun! Michelle sent me photos and I knew Willy was getting excellent care! We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you Michelle!”
“Hadyn was wonderful! She watched our Ruby on a last minute notice and sent us regular updates. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Thank you again Hadyn!”
About: I want your animal to feel at ease, or even excited when I interact with them. Nothing is worse than feeling like your fur baby isn't getting the care they deserve/need. Let me be the care taker that takes the time to figure out what your furry loved one needs, whether it's playing or just want some company, I'm here for it. Im a nurse by trade currently working part time. My schedule is flexible, and can schedule my hours around yours, within reason. Life happens, let me help relieve some of that stress. I have a fenced in yard and a 5 year old, 50 lb golden doodle named Franklin. He get daily morning walks and afterwards paws and ears get cleaned. Routines are important! Treats are appropriately plentiful, especially while building rapport or encouraging wanted behaviors. I follow your lead! Cc
“Highly recommend Mike—he was incredibly easy to work with, highly responsive, and flexible. He offered up a meet/greet in advance which was incredibly helpful. My pup Taco was comfortable with him right away—he is definitely a dog lover!”
About: I’ve watched my neighbors animals. I’ve had pets of my own. What sets me apart, I would say. My heart. I wish I could have animals full time. Just can’t where I am. I work full time during the week, home every weekend. I’ll always make time to care for your pet/pets! Treat them like they’re mine. Ty. I have a secure entrance and an extra door coming to my apartment. I’ll always make sure they are on a leash outside. And they are welcome anywhere inside
About: Hey there! I am an animal lover to the core. Let me be your pet's new best friend while you are away! I recently moved back to the Midwest to be closer to family, about two years ago. I was traveling constantly for work, but am now full time work from home. When I lived in another state for work, I did pet care as a part time job with private clients weekly. I grew to absolutely love it and would love to get established back in Wisconsin. I grew up with dogs, cats, and cows my entire life - being raised on a farm. I am the type of person who can’t stop without petting a dog whenever I see one! Providing companionship to your pet is my favorite thing to do. We can go on walks, eat food, and watch the latest Hulu show together! Your fur baby is welcome to sleep with me, on the floor, or in any bed or crate you bring. My two rescue cats absolutely LOVE other animals, so there is no worry there. They are so curious and eventually become besties! Since I am work from home full time now, so I am extremely flexible and they will have constant attention. I do live in an apartment, BUT, I am right next to the walking trail in River Prairie (the loop). I would be more than happy to go on as many walks as needed, and enjoy some sunshine with your fur baby! So do not worry, they can be outside as much or little as you’d like. I am open to care of all animals, all sizes, and all ages. If wanted, I visit my family farm quite often where we have extensive yard and land to run on. It is 100% an option for me to take your pet there if you want them to have some extra smells, especially if they stay long term with me. I’m extremely flexible and want you to not have to worry! While I traveled full time for work in the past, constant updates on my animals back home was crucial to me. I will provide as much or little communication you’d like. I’m here to meet you and your pet where you’d like and keep being away from them stress free. I promise they are in such caring hands! I work from home most days and go on daily walks myself! I would love to have a companion along with me to help make my place less lonely! During the weekends I can give even extra attention! I have access to the loop walk near River Prairie where i can take your pet for a potty break or for a walk! Depending how far they like to go - I can do the full three miles with them, or cut it shorter! I will be here with them to provide food, water, and care. Your pet will be my number 1 priority while I am with them!
“Chris did great with the dogs! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!! He played fetch with our lab until she got tired (who can play fetch FOREVER... seriously forever). He’s very considerate, informative, and a true dog lover! I can tell he does is absolute best to give the pups the excersize and love they need and deserve!”

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. Ive dealt with multiple dogs at once, all with different personalities. From shy, energetic, to reactive. I have done everything from daily walks, to overnight stays for clients. Handling the different routines. Another plus is that I grew up fostering dogs, so I have experience with a lot of different breeds creating a very patient and observant demeanor. I am currently working part-time and looking for some extra work. My availability is pretty flexible as long as you are as well! I can either do stop by's for walks once a day, or a multiple day care schedule, with 2-4 hours of being out of the house. I'd love to chat and work something out! When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, and any house rules. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of bathroom breaks, and safe, supervised time outside. I spend quality time with each pet, whether that means playing, training practice, gentle cuddles, or just giving them company so they don’t feel alone. It is all about respect and I respect your home also respect your home, treating your space the same way I’d want mine treated.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely love being around animals. I’ve cared for my own dogs as well as pets for friends and family, so I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout the day. My experience includes daily walks, trips to the dog park, playtime in the backyard, feeding routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, lots of affection, or a calm, relaxed environment. You can trust that your pet will be treated like part of the family while they’re in my care. I have a very flexible schedule and am home most of the time, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, including weekdays and weekends. Because I’m home often, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can easily adjust to their normal routine, whether that’s frequent potty breaks, regular walks, or extra playtime. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I have two dogs of my own, a Beagle/Heeler and a teacup Yorkie. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special needs to ensure they receive personalized care. I’m attentive, patient, and keep a close eye on pets at all times, whether we’re indoors, outside, or on walks. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.
About: I have had cats basically my whole life and I currently have a dog at my parents house. I have dog sat a few times for my neighbors dog. I am available almost every night after 4pm. I am currently looking to drop in on cats and/ or dogs and walk dogs in the late afternoon. I ask for a five day notice but depending on my schedule I might be able to make some exceptions here and there! I treat all pets like they are my own. I care about the safety and living of all animals. I am patient and caring and I put those skills into my work with animals.
“Korah was flexible with our quick changes due to family schedules and we were so grateful to know our Beau was taken care of. We appreciated the pictures and the timely responses. We’d use Korah again and again!”
“Tori was the first dog walker Winnie has had. I'm very happy to learn Tori and Winnie were best friends by the end of the walk. I will definitely use her again when I'm away for long days to give Winnie a break from her guard duty watching out the front window.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, I’ve worked with seniors and puppies and everything in between! I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare and have done lots of grooming for both cats and dogs! I am available night and day! I am easy to reach and am ready to come at any time! I am a stay at home cat mom! I have 2 cats of my own, I give them the best nutrition and brain stimulation! I am constantly researching the best for both cats and dogs!
About: They say to do what you love and make a career out of it. I’m just grateful my career gets to be with dogs. I currently work at a doggy daycare/boarding facility in the area, so I am certified with dog and cat behaviors and have seen the ups and downs of our fur babies, and I am still standing here happy to tell you all about their stay/session. I have also grown up with working farm dogs and have gone on to own a Great Pyrenees who isn’t quite a working dog but sure does “work” like one. Thank you for reading through my short history and I am super excited to update this with my accomplishments to come! Pet care for me starts at dawn lol My pups come for cuddles and a potty break first sight of my eyes opening. Most of the time this does align with my schedule in the 6 am timeframe. Our family does always thankfully have one person home at all times, so while kennels are still utilized in our home for various situations, your pups can expect to stay in a home environment while here :) While I personally do not have a yard, my family does own large pasture fields and hills that we will typically walk daily. These colder seasons do affect how often we go out due to the snow and unplowed hills. However in that safe weather we make it a main priority to keep active with our pups to maintain a healthy and long life for them. Safety is priority number one. Thankfully my family is pretty much set up for success here. We are knowledgeable for food, behavior, and play safety with dogs and cats. Signs and symptoms of common issues with dogs and cats, based off personal experiences, and possible fears of what ifs, urinary cat blockages and bloat, or bloody stools. And while I understand dog body language and know how to avoid those tense situations dogs can create, I am incredibly quick to say when we are going to the emergency vet, gosh forbid.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I'm currently working a full time job, however I still have plenty of time to watch your fur babies!! If anything changes I will let you all know ASAP!! I have two very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if needed, or I can separate my dogs from your dogs if needed. I also have toys for them to play with so they won't get bored.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals over the years. I have given medication wrapped in cheese or wieners, and I have also been given insulin shots to a dog before. Plain and simple I love animals and just want to help them enjoy life.!! I’m trying to work part-time as a Rover person. I love animals and I enjoy being with them as much as possible. I have a dog in my own, which I tend to. He is my love and my family. But I can definitely take time away from him to give your baby some love and attention. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I will take good care of your animal as if it was my own. That’s just the way I feel and I hope that I could give you the greatest experience, taking care of your animal.
About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets. From cats, dogs, birds, rodents and farm animals. I am also able to take care of animals with higher needs. I’ve had elderly pets who need medication and animals that I have found with injuries that I took care of. I am available all week and I occasionally visit my parents on the weekend. Other than that I do not leave town often, if I do ever have a trip planned I would update my schedule. I know how important routines are so sticking to what is requested is essential. Animals that need to be kept separate is also an important thing to know.
About: Animals and pets of any kind have held a special place in my heart for most of my life. I have experience dog sitting animals 10- 80 lbs and have cared for as many as 3 at a time. I currently don't own any animals, but I would love to take care of yours! I am available for house/pet sitting & walking on weekdays and weekends. My availability is pretty open and can be tailored to fit your needs! I will care for your pet(s) in your home with the utmost respect and responsibility. Whatever your pet needs are, I will work with you to make sure we have a plan to keep your pet(s) comfortable and safe. I am comfortable following a routine or giving medications if needed.
About: As an experienced pet sitter, I am dedicated to providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. From feeding, walking, and playtime to administering medications and maintaining routines, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are receiving attentive, responsible, and personalized care in a stress-free environment I work Monday- Thursday so that allows me to have plenty of time at home with animals on the weekends to give them the time and attention they need. I have a very nice neighborhood with walking paths to make sure animals are getting the exercise and time they need to play around outside.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and honestly can’t remember a time when I wasn’t surrounded by pets. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I regularly dog sit for friends and family, and I genuinely love it. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I show up with patience, energy, and a lot of love. I take pet care seriously, but I also truly enjoy it. Being around animals is my happy place. I probably like them more than humans, but I’ll let your pet be the judge of that. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I’m typically home and have a flexible schedule. I’m usually out for a couple hours most days, but otherwise I’m around and able to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. On weekends I’m also fairly flexible and either at home or doing low-key activities, so I can adjust easily to the needs of each pet. I enjoy making pet care a consistent part of my routine and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I provide calm, attentive care based on each pet’s needs and comfort level. In my home, I keep things very relaxed with lots of supervision, cuddle time, potty breaks, playtime, and regular outdoor walks on a leash. I also make sure pets are fed on schedule and always have fresh water. In a client’s home, I prefer to focus on walks and potty breaks or quick check-ins depending on what’s needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking closely to their normal routine.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a genuine love for caring for them. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to big dogs, as well as cats. Because I’ve spent my whole life around animals, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and will treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very fortunate to have a flexible work schedule right now, which allows me to make pet care a big part of my day. I’m available most days and can be flexible with drop-ins, walks, feeding, potty breaks, and giving your pets the attention they need. The only days I have limited availability are Tuesdays and Thursdays, as I spend time with family on those days. Outside of that, my schedule is very flexible, so I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and needs. My husband also works a varied schedule, so in the rare event that I’m unexpectedly unavailable, he can usually step in to help with something simple like letting your pup outside or making sure your pet is fed. We’re a team and want to make sure your fur babies are cared for and never left without what they need! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be our top priority. We’re very present and attentive people, and when you choose us to care for your pets, they truly become our priority. We’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. We understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby with someone else, and we don’t take that trust lightly. Our goal is simple: for you to feel confident and comfortable knowing your pet is safe, loved, and getting plenty of attention while they’re in our care❤️

I am recently retired and will make your dogs my priority while they are staying with me. I would love to know your dogs normal schedule at home and will replicate as closely as possible. I have a large yard and will take your dogs for walks throughout the day. They will receive lots of love, and I am very open to special requests to take the very best care of your dog and make them feel as comfortable as possible. Please just let me know. Thank you.
“I’m very happy with the services provided to me and my pup! Daily updates, along with pictures and videos eased my worries about leaving my dog while I had to travel for work. I would recommend Madeleine and Anthony for their daycare, and boarding services.”
“Our pup is turning 3 in June and we had never left her with anyone. We found Kessia and felt an instant connection. She confidently, but gently assured our pup and us that there was nothing to worry about, and her two pups instantly welcomed ours in playful banter. We have no concerns in leaving our pup with Kessia.”
“Our dog Chewy was excited to meet Korah the very first time and every time she saw her. Korah is enthusiastic and energetic. She sent pictures & notes every day of how well Chewy did each day. Her notes were reassuring that Chewy was eating, drinking and happy playing with his new friends. It was a great experience for Chewy. We felt confident that Chewy was receiving great care. We will definitely have Korah care for Chewy the next time we are gone.”
“We traveled outside of the country and picked Michelle based upon her reviews and history with animals. Even though we could not be reached, Michelle was wonderful with regular updates and even allowing arrangements for our new puppy to spend time with our 3 bigger boys that she was boarding while we were away. I also love that Michelle limits the number of fur babies that she boards at once, allowing much individual attention. We will definitely pick Michelle for future needs.”
“Jake was great as always, our dog loves to stay with him. Jake sent photos and make sure our pup went for walks and had time in the yard. Would recommend him to anyone that will listen”
“Approved a last minute request due to an unexpected need to travel out of town - grateful for that! Was incredibly responsive to communication, sent photos and updates, and created an easy, smooth process for us. Conveniently located in Menomonie, and love that our dog had a fenced in back yard to run in. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have worked for roughly two years dog sitting for friends and family. Typically these have been in my own home - occasionally overnight. I have a fenced in back yard for my 3 dogs & 2 cats so I have experience with both :) I have complete availability currently, so my dog at home gets quite a lot of walks and park time. If possible, i also try to socialize him with people each day. Typically I take my dog to the dog park in the evening with a long walk in the morning. This works best for my dogs energy levels, but each dog is different. I am also trying to socialize my dog in public as he is a bit scared of humans so we try to hit some breweries here and there.
“Highly recommend. Very responsive throughout booking process and with updates during our pets stay. Diego came home happy and exhausted from all the fun he had. Would definitely book with Alex again”
About: Having had pets all my life, I really understand how special dogs and cats are. I promise to treat your furry family member with the same care, respect, and love that they would expect at home. I have a flexible schedule and would like to fill my free time. Although I plan to go back to school in January, I’ll still be available for pet sitting. I have a fenced yard where your pup can play freely, and a cozy, smoke-free home perfect for snuggles. Currently, I don't have any pets in my home, and I'm preparing my space to be comfortable, warm, and welcoming for stays.
“Tiffany watched our two dogs while we were away on a trip. One dog is old and the other is full of energy. She is amazing and was very loving to our dogs. She sent me pictures and videos daily. I highly recommend her and will hopefully use her service again!”
“Both my dogs had an absolute blast! I was so lucky to find Hayden! She was amazing at send pictures and checking in with me on how things were going! Both dogs enjoyed the spacious yard to play and run around in as well as being cared for as one of her own! Hayden is so easy to work with and made me feel so comfortable leaving my two dogs in her care! Would absolutely recommend her!”
“Charlie, our 4 legged family member, has enjoyed staying with Alisha and her family twice. We are so greatful to find such a fun, loving, dog sitter. We are all glad to return home....but, we know Charlie looks forward to our next trip, so he can spend time playing at Alisha's house. Till next time, Charlie and Pam ( Charlie's human)”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and honestly can’t remember a time when I wasn’t surrounded by pets. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I regularly dog sit for friends and family, and I genuinely love it. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I show up with patience, energy, and a lot of love. I take pet care seriously, but I also truly enjoy it. Being around animals is my happy place. I probably like them more than humans, but I’ll let your pet be the judge of that. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I’m typically home and have a flexible schedule. I’m usually out for a couple hours most days, but otherwise I’m around and able to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. On weekends I’m also fairly flexible and either at home or doing low-key activities, so I can adjust easily to the needs of each pet. I enjoy making pet care a consistent part of my routine and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I provide calm, attentive care based on each pet’s needs and comfort level. In my home, I keep things very relaxed with lots of supervision, cuddle time, potty breaks, playtime, and regular outdoor walks on a leash. I also make sure pets are fed on schedule and always have fresh water. In a client’s home, I prefer to focus on walks and potty breaks or quick check-ins depending on what’s needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking closely to their normal routine.
