“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.”
“Wonderful experience, Lacy was happy to be there, daily pictures were great, it’s nice knowing that we can leave and Lacy is well taken care of, will definitely use Elizabeth again”
“Madeline was great at communicating and keeping me updated about Ponyo. She sent lots of photos and videos. It looks like Ponyo had a great time! I’m already scheduling my next sitting sesh with Madeline again.”
“This was our Sophie’s first overnight stay at a boarding home (Sophie is 9 months old). I love that she was exposed to a farm home setting with other dogs, cats, cows, and a family that included kids for her to play with. Socialization was important to us, and I am happy to say that Sophie came home tired and happy, and I am sure will be ready to visit Katie and her family again in the near future. Thank you, Katie, for making this a positive experience for our pup.”
“Jacob took superb care of my dog during my business trip. I had full confidence Odie was in excellent hands. We returned to find him very happy. I highly recommend Jacob's services.”
“Our dog, Ozzy, did great at Jennifer's house for a week. He was happy that he had other dogs to play with and was well taken care of. We would definitely use Jennifer again.”
“Joseph was very approachable and open to the idea of taking on our 8 month old lab Beau. Beau is alot of work at this point . Joseph was very calm and up for a challenge. We interacted well together and our dogs for the most part wore each other out. I really appreciate his willingness to take Beau on short notice. He is definitely a five star care giver. Thank you Joseph for your amazing care!!”
“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”
“Dessirae is the best! This was our dogs' first stay with her, and it was great! The dogs loved her and her home. The dogs were not entirely sure that they wanted to return home with me, when I showed up to retrieve them today. I only hope that they were well behaved, as we hope that they will have future stays with her.”
“Our dog Zero had such a good time at Amanda's, we actually felt guilty picking him up! Amanda shared regular updates and photos, and, while she maintained Zero's normal routine of walks, meals, and sleep, the extra play and snuggle time the family gave Zero clearly made him one content, tuckered out pup. We would definitely bring Zero to Amanda's for boarding again in the future.”
“Our dog was well loved and well taken care of! She was treated like one of the family and I received plenty of updates. Would definitely recommend and will be using Destiiny again in the near future!”
“Very thankful for her wonderful service Caroline seemed to be right at home with her and I got plenty of updates while I was gone will definitely book again if I'm in the area”
“Alia was great! She is responsive, usually responds within the day of messaging her. Sent pictures and kept us updated, let us know of any concerns, and overall great! Our dog is very high energy and we can tell she knows how to handle that kind of dog because when we picked our dog up she was very happy and tired.”
“My dog Kylo stayed with Kim and her family for the first time for about a week, and although it’s always a little nerve-wracking leaving him with a new sitter, especially for an extended length of time, Kim was gracious and communicative before and during my trip. She sent photos and even reached out when he had some tummy issues so we could help him feel well again. I’m truly grateful to have found her and will definitely book with her again.”

“Katie was great! She left detailed notes about her visits with my cat, took some pictures & did additional kind tasks that she wasn’t asked or expected to do such as bring packages in from our front porch. Will absolutely be requesting services from Katie again when we need them. I feel confident that my cat will be a content boy when we get home because of Katie’s time!”
About: I have owned and taken care of cats as a child, and now as an adult I own two kittens in training. I have experience administering medications safely and reliably, giving you peace of mind if your pet has special medical needs. I also take pride in maintaining a clean and hygienic environment, from meticulously deep-cleaning litter boxes to tidying up after your furry friends. My goal is to ensure your pets feel loved and your home stays spotless, so you can return to happy pets and a stress-free home.
About: provide loving, experienced care for your dog, drawing from a lifetime of owning pets and growing up with a mom who’s a professional dog groomer. Whether it’s playful puppies or gentle senior dogs, your pet will feel right at home with me. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, as I work part-time at night, allowing me to dedicate my daytime hours to caring for your pets. Balancing school and family life has taught me exceptional time management, ensuring your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes to ensure your pets remain comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care needs, to give your pets the best experience possible.
About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of dogs since I was young. My family has a 14 year old Great Dane who I consider my baby. We have also had other smaller dogs such as a mini Aussie doodle and an Italian greyhound. I have been pet sitting dogs since I was in middle school and I always enjoyed spending time with every dog I met. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and I have experience with lifting and carrying very large senior dogs with difficulty jumping, as well as caring for dogs with sundowners. I’m also pretty good at getting most dogs to take their meds. I’m a college student so I mostly have evenings and weekends free. Getting a few hours in outside of my regular schedule is really helpful to me. I am very respectful of your space and I want to make sure the dog feels comfortable most of all. I will carefully read the list of tasks I’m left and make sure that everything gets done so that you can come back home with no concerns about your house or your pet.
About: I have loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I’ve always had a dog since i was little and i always adored them. I have worked with dogs for about a year now at Camp Bow Wow, where we supervised play, grooming, and gave breakfast and dinner. I’ve had experience with almost every kind of dog you can think of, and I’m good in any kind of situation. I am only working mornings and am completely free in my late afternoon/ evenings. I would love to spend my free time with some furry friends i’m able to come to you! i’m at college so i do not have my dog at school with me! But i Typically bring my dog for a walk everyday! He is super active so i try to get him outdoors and get some energy out!
About: Dogs, cats and birds have always been a part of my life. As a child, we even had a pet crow named Butch! I work from home so your fur or feather baby won’t be left alone. My last two dogs passed away after months of battling cancer. My siberian husky had nasal cancer and my papillion had lymphoma. I have experience providing palliative care for dogs that are not feeling well and probably need extra love and attention. Currently, my resident dog is a foster failure named Peppy. Occasionally, I will have a foster dog in addition to my resident dog. I would disclose that information before booking. I currently work from home and my schedule is very flexible. After work, I walk my dog either around the neighborhood or we go to Red Cedar trail or to a park in town. I can easily crate your dog if you request it but it’s ok if he/she sleeps wherever. My dog freaks out in a crate (he was a breeder release) so he sleeps wherever he chooses. He is very gentle and has no teeth so I will not care for any aggressive dog.
About: Ive had a little more then 3 years pet experience taking care of all ages and sizes of dog and cats. Doing everything from walks, runs and drop ins to staying over night and taking care of the house and land as well. I’m current an active student at UW stout with an open schedule open almost all day to take care of the needs of pets. Im an advocate for running and lifting and love to go on runs with dogs and train hunting dogs. I have a very active dog as is so I’m constantly watching or playing with him. I tend to make sure all small items are picked up, all chemicals are put away and am always on watch. I’m comfortable with both crate training and roaming animals.
About: I have experience growing up with labs and I have experience with small dogs as well. My whole life I’ve had dogs and enjoy being around them. I am currently going to graduate school to become a school psychologist in Menominee but I am willing to travel to other cities in the area as I have weekends and weekday flexibility I can provide care in the dogs home by following the instructions the owners set out and allow the dog to feel safe while in their own home
About: I have about 8 years of experience helping high-end breeders breed and raise puppies, I’ve trained my own dogs, cats, and horses and have also had bunnies and chickens in the past. I love animals! You get the quality for what you pay! I am currently in college, so I have plenty of time to take dogs on walks, feed, train and exercise them! I’m always willing to help! I will always make sure to keep your pet as safe and comforted as possible. If they are happy and safe then I am happy!
About: My mom had rescue dogs and cats my entire childhood, and a few years ago, I adopted my kitty, Momo. Outside of my home, I occasionally help care for friends’ cats when they travel, which some times includes overnight stays, or some times just 2x a day check ins. I love playing or just chilling with cats. I’m happy to match a cat’s energy and play or not play however it seems to like. Unfortunately, I also have experience with caring for cats at end-of-life, as well as caring for cats experiencing illness. I’ve given antibiotics to my family cats and friends’ cats. My cat Momo is particularly difficult to give medicine to - unfortunately it really stresses him out, so I am very acclimated to cat scratches.
About: Hi! I’m a big animal lover who enjoys spending time with cats, dogs, and any other pets! I’m happy to match your pet’s energy and routine. My family has always had cats growing up, and I’m always the one seeking out the pets at any gathering—I love earning their trust, making them feel comfortable, and making a new furry friend.
About: Ive always had cats. Big cats, little cats, crazy cats, loaf cats...my last boy was a big black tuxedo named Thomas O'Malley the Alley Cat, because he followed me home on foot, as a kitten. Im completely comfortable with whatever needs yours may have
About: I have owned and cared for cats since I was a toddler, there hasn’t been any years of my life that I have not had a cat in it that I can remember. I have cared for and have had many litters of kittens born at my home and have hand reared and looked after kittens without a mom.
About: Danny and I have both grown up with dogs since we can remember. We have had our pet, Rarrie, for 4 years and lived in 3 different regions. We are used to any sort of social skills dog and adapt well for your pets needs! We love new adventures and have a passion for finding out how your pet fits in our home! I am currently working full time, a flexible 3 days a week from home so I will be home all day when your pets are here! Danny works full time but is home in the morning and nights. We are both home on the weekends full time! We take our pet and guest pets out in the morning, at lunch, afternoon, and nighttime! We have a fully fenced in large yard that the pups will love to play outside in. We also adventure to local parks for walks and have low traffic trails depending on your pet’s social skills! Pet care has been part of our daily routine for well over 4 years now. We are not new to the responsibility of taking care of our animal friends and we will treat your dog as our own during their stay with us! We have a fenced in yard that provides full protection from outside the property. We keep our doors locked when we aren’t home so your pet will never have a chance of getting away without us knowing. We always keep them close by when they are staying with us!

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.

“Amanda and her family really helped me in a pinch with some last minute dog care as I attended a birthday party. What a lovely family, and the kids were so helpful too, wearing Ruby out so she got her social time in for the day :-) Amanda went above and beyond, even letting me use a gift bag of hers since the one I got didn't fit the gift I bought. Super accommodating and sweet, would definitely book again in the future!”
“Holly seemed to have lots of fun with the other dogs/kitten. She loves to be outside so I'm so glad Maddy takes her on field trips in the country. It was her first day so it took alot to get used to things. Maddy handled well and I had no worries since Maddy checked in during the day.”
“Molly was great both with booking and during Kona’s stay. She responded very quickly and sent updates throughout the day. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Jessica has been watching our Goldendoodle since he was a puppy (2.5 years old now) and cares for him like he’s her own. Our dog absolutely loves her and her dog . We feel very comfortable leaving our dog with Jessica for extended boarding. She gives is updates on their adventures and sends us pictures throughout the extended (and daily) stays, which brings us a lot of peace of mind.”
About: Hi there! I’m Destiny & have owned an array of furry friends over the years. I have never NOT had a pup and have owned many different breeds. Currently I own cattle dogs- an Aussie named Marley and Heeler/Collie mix named Sadie. They are 4, I trained them myself & they are extremely well behaved and socialized. I offer boarding, day care, dog walking, and can bathe your pup before returning them home to you. I can also pick up and drop off when needed. I can also house sit and pup sit if that is your need/comfortability as well. I am up for & encourage meet & greets before bookings if you would like to meet myself, the pups and/or see the house and our setup before hand! I work during the normal school year as a nursing instructor. I am off during the summer and am home FULL TIME to dedicate ALL of my time & attention to the fur babies! I promise your baby will be tuckered out, loved on and well fed (to your instructions of course!) Boarding at my home: safety is my top priority with animal to animal interaction and human to animal interaction. If pups need more alone time/privacy, they can be housed separately from my dogs at all times as we have multiple access points from our home to our fenced in yard and gate sectioning in our house. I do walks daily with them and am outside with them as well for the majority of the day. Our fenced in yard has a dog pool and I have BUCKETS of toys for them to play with! If your pup leans toward the spicier side & is more protective when it comes to their toys, food, or water please let me know and separation accommodations can be made, no problem. All breeds are different and each pup is different. I can also give medications topically, orally, injections etc. I can provide hourly updates through text, video call, phone calls, whatever you would like! At minimum I send a daily update. In your home: as a nurse, safety is always my top priority. I am also extremely clean and organized. I can maintain your daily routine with your pup so they don’t miss much while you are away. Again, meet and greets I encourage so you and especially your pup are comfortable meeting me and being in your home. I’ll be their make-shift auntie while you are away! Whatever update/care you want them to have, you got it- even FaceTime dates so you don’t have to miss them much.
“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!”

About: Did I catch your attention? I hope so! I really love taking care of pets. Animals are naturally attracted to me; they love me; I'm like "The Animal Whisperer." At least that's what the pets tell me. :) I hope I made you smile, because I've taken care of all kinds of pets my entire life. 🐶 💞 🏠 I know what it's like to have to leave your pet in the care of another person, you can rest assured that they are well cared for with me. I treat my own puppy, Gemma, just like she is one of my kids, just like family and I will show your pet the same affection. PS - I have lived in Chippewa for 2 years and have recently activated my services. I may not have a lot of reviews but they are all legitimate and I am verifiably who I say I am. A very loving, caring, and honest person and pet lover and will treat your furry family member as my own. I just recently recieved my Health Coach certification and CPR/First Aide. Living a healthy lifestyle is important to me, if you have any special healthy lifestyle requests for your fur buddy/buddies, I would be most happy to oblige. :) Attention First Time Customers# I will give you 50% off for your first service and for each new recommendation. I am very flexible. I have all kinds of time to play and give extra care and love to your pet. I'm open to pet sitting over night, drop-in visits, walks, baths, and more. My prices are very affordable, infact, compared to most I give the best rate and my petcare is A-1 Spectacular. 🤗 I am passionate about caring for animals and I absolutely love to help people in anyway I can. I love taking fur buddies for nature walks. I am very flexible and willing to pet sit during day-time hours or overnight. I am also very respectful to abide by any rules or lifestyle choices an owner has for their pet. I am always prompt, however, I did have to cancel one time due to an emergency. Otherwise, I will answer promptly, I am kind, hospitable, and a joy to be around.

About: My mom had rescue dogs and cats my entire childhood, and I always helped care for them as her oldest daughter. My mom adopted dogs big and small - as big as a golden retriever, and as little as a chihuahua, and often cared for multiple cats at a time. I grew up in California, where my family pets live with my parents - three dogs and two cats. My cat Momo moved to Eau Claire with me. My parents are planning to retire here, which will be a big move, especially with so many animals, so when the time comes, I’ll be helping move their pets. After living in Eau Claire for a month or so, I house and pet sat for my cousin while she was working on a project out of town for a few months. I bonded with her German Shepherd, Lobo, through long walks and runs, and fell in love with her tiny cat Duchess. Later that winter, while I was still doing the long-term pet sit for my cousin, one of her friend’s rescued a cat who had been abandoned. Due to her living situation, she couldn’t take it in immediately, so Lobo and Duchess had Zia as a guest living with us for a month or so. Beyond helping out my family, I have friends whose animals I help care for on occasion too. One friend reaches out when she needs to go out of town, and I will do check ups or come stay with her needy and sweet cat-named-Kitty. Another friend and I meet up to walk downtown with her cutie little dog Lotta. I record all my walks and runs on Strava, and enjoy posting photos and videos of my furry companions, so if I walk with your pup, I would be happy to share photos if you ask! Last summer, I looked after my co-worker’s chickens and garden for a 3-day weekend, so I’m open to learning how to care for other pets beyond cats and dogs too! I work part-time at the flower shop and my schedule varies week to week based on their need, but I have lots of free time between weekdays and the weekend - I always have a free Sunday. I can easily arrange my schedule to allow for plenty of time between walks, play time, or check ups with animals. I will be brand new to Rover and open to meeting pets’ needs and routines as their human typically would! Right now, beyond my cat Momo, the only other animals I care for are my cousin’s dog and cat when she’s traveling and needs me to fill in, and I care for them as she would - from feeding routines to play time, walks, and cleaning.
About: i’ve always had such a soft spot in my heart for animals, even scaly friends too! I myself have had animals ranging from cats and dogs, to snakes to fish and rats.. and as you can imagine, they all require some very different needs! i ALWAYS make it my goal to care for each individual animal the best i can, after all they deserve it! I’d love to make taking care of your furry friends my main priority! I have open availability during the week and will be home all day with them, wether it’s your home or mine (: I do have 2 dogs of my own, so unfortunately i do not have availability for overnight stays. I always make it my biggest goal to let animals know how loved they are! I am willing to accommodate to you and your pets needs to ensure the safety of me, you, and your pet! My 2 dogs have me wrapped around their pinkies (toes? paws? 🤷🏻♀️) and i’d do anything to make sure they’re happy. I treat every dog in my care like my very own. I understand leaving your dog in the care of somebody else can be nerve-racking, especially if it’s in somebody else’s home. You worry about wether or not your sitter is going to leave them alone during the day, or if your sitter lives on a busy street, or if there’s a chance your dog gets loose.. i understand all of these! A home visit is a must and i’d be happy to show you where your furry friend will be staying, and what a typical day looks like!
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: 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.
“So glad to have found Mady. Even though I don't need her a lot, she has been very accommodating to my schedule when I do need her. She has been great to Merle and I'm sure he is very happy to see her and know he is gonna get a good walk when she comes through the door.”
About: I have worked with and cared for animals since I was 12 for fitness and family. I have always grown up with animals of all kinds. I have trained all my dogs I’ve had myself. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as dogs with behaviors such as reactivity. I work in a school during the school year and can come those days before 10 and after 2:30. Summers I have plenty of time to spend and play with your fur babies. Weekends I am pretty busy but can make time to spend with your pets. I have a big 4 acre yard with the ability to crate or leash your dog if needed. I have two cats in my home and my family has 3 dogs in their home on the property. I am willing to work on training and work around a feeding schedule if needed. I am very flexible and am willing to do what will make your pet the most happy.
About: I’ve raised and trained my own dog, Duke, since he was just a tiny puppy—he’s now 5 years old and my best buddy. Through that experience, I’ve learned how to handle everything from puppy energy to building good habits and keeping dogs happy and healthy as they grow. I truly love spending time with dogs and treat every one like my own. Whether your pup needs extra playtime, patience, or just some good company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’m currently taking classes at CVTC and doing physical therapy for a sports-related injury I had a few months ago, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule. When I’m not in class or at therapy, I love spending my time with dogs—whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy being active, responsible, and around animals every day. I always treat every pet and home with respect and care. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I follow your pet’s usual routine closely—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medications—so they feel right at home. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and to treat your pet like one of my own.
About: I have spent time with cats/dogs since I was a little girl. All the neighborhood animals gravitated to me as a young girl. I now have a puppy that needs to socialize. He would make a good friend to any dog/cat. And he loves kids. I am currently between jobs so I have plenty of time to be able to take care of your loved one. I am available for drop-in visits or overnight if you should need Monday through Friday and some weekends. I am able to take them out frequently for potty breaks, and I have a very friendly dog that would keep them company. And I will crate them if you request.

“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.”
“Madeline was great at communicating and keeping me updated about Ponyo. She sent lots of photos and videos. It looks like Ponyo had a great time! I’m already scheduling my next sitting sesh with Madeline again.”
“This was our Sophie’s first overnight stay at a boarding home (Sophie is 9 months old). I love that she was exposed to a farm home setting with other dogs, cats, cows, and a family that included kids for her to play with. Socialization was important to us, and I am happy to say that Sophie came home tired and happy, and I am sure will be ready to visit Katie and her family again in the near future. Thank you, Katie, for making this a positive experience for our pup.”
“Jacob took superb care of my dog during my business trip. I had full confidence Odie was in excellent hands. We returned to find him very happy. I highly recommend Jacob's services.”
“Joseph was very approachable and open to the idea of taking on our 8 month old lab Beau. Beau is alot of work at this point . Joseph was very calm and up for a challenge. We interacted well together and our dogs for the most part wore each other out. I really appreciate his willingness to take Beau on short notice. He is definitely a five star care giver. Thank you Joseph for your amazing care!!”
“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”
“Dessirae is the best! This was our dogs' first stay with her, and it was great! The dogs loved her and her home. The dogs were not entirely sure that they wanted to return home with me, when I showed up to retrieve them today. I only hope that they were well behaved, as we hope that they will have future stays with her.”
“Our dog Zero had such a good time at Amanda's, we actually felt guilty picking him up! Amanda shared regular updates and photos, and, while she maintained Zero's normal routine of walks, meals, and sleep, the extra play and snuggle time the family gave Zero clearly made him one content, tuckered out pup. We would definitely bring Zero to Amanda's for boarding again in the future.”
“Our dog was well loved and well taken care of! She was treated like one of the family and I received plenty of updates. Would definitely recommend and will be using Destiiny again in the near future!”
“Very thankful for her wonderful service Caroline seemed to be right at home with her and I got plenty of updates while I was gone will definitely book again if I'm in the area”
“Alia was great! She is responsive, usually responds within the day of messaging her. Sent pictures and kept us updated, let us know of any concerns, and overall great! Our dog is very high energy and we can tell she knows how to handle that kind of dog because when we picked our dog up she was very happy and tired.”
“My dog Kylo stayed with Kim and her family for the first time for about a week, and although it’s always a little nerve-wracking leaving him with a new sitter, especially for an extended length of time, Kim was gracious and communicative before and during my trip. She sent photos and even reached out when he had some tummy issues so we could help him feel well again. I’m truly grateful to have found her and will definitely book with her again.”
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.
