Personalized care for your dog or cat - Woodruff

“Gretchen is truly fantastic. It wasn’t just watching our pup while we were gone, but the love and care she showed him. I can tell she truly cares for each furry guest. It shined through in each update and photo sent. Our dog came back happy and we were as well. I would book her again in a heartbeat. Thanks Gretchen!”

“Jayne was exceptionally welcoming to our pups in her home while we vacationed with family. She was fully attentive to their needs, made sure they had plenty of Northwoods fresh air, and communicated with us regularly about how their stay was going. We were absolutely confident that our pups were in great hands with Jayne looking after them and wouldn't hesitate to have them visit with her again if the need arises.”

“Mark is phenomenal. He took amazing care of our dog Mia. He took her for multiple walks a day. Played with her, and loved her as her own. He sent us multiple pictures and videos everyday so we didn’t miss a thing. We will definitely be booking with him again. It was a 10 out of 10 experience.”

“Robert & Kristine are from dog heaven. From the minute you meet them you know they are dog lovers. If you want to give your dog a gift book them a stay with Robert and Kristine. Our dogs entered their house and lay down at their feet calm and ready for their stay. The dogs enjoyed being in their care so much they weren't even excited to come home when I picked them up. It is so reassuring to know that while you are away your dog is being well cared for and happy. Five stars are not enough for these guys.”

About: I love big dogs, especially horses. I grew up taking in all the stray animals that were dumped on our road and finding homes for them. Being around any animal is my happy/safe place. I have 2 rescue horses that are like my children, I have one energetic dog, and one very loving cat, along with a bunch of chickens, one turkey, and two ducks. I want to go to school to be a large/small animal veterinarian. Caring and helping animals is my passion that I want to fulfill, I treat any animal with the loving care and kindness they deserve. I currently take care of my two rescue horses, consistently training them on a daily basis. I feed, and brush my cat on a daily, and feed, walk, and play with my dog daily. I have experience caring for my own pets and understand the importance of keeping animals safe, happy, and comfortable. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention. I follow all owner instructions carefully and make sure pets are supervised and cared for as if they were my own.

“Mackenzie is truly a ‘cat whisper’, as Sydney doesn’t warm up to many people. She was able to coax her out of her hiding place ‘under the bed’ to administer her daily medication, Sydney noting her gratitude by purrrs!”

“Rhonda was wonderful! I was so nervous about leaving my very shy rescue kitty, Buddha, with a sitter while I went on vacation. Rhonda took such good care of him! He was so comfortable that he eventually came out from under the bed and let her brush him. That was a first for him as he doesn't like strangers! Amazing! She sent photos daily, and I felt 100% confident that he was in the best hands with Rhonda. Buddha has a new friend and kitty sitter! I couldn't be happier and now know I can go on vacation with no worries. Thank you, Rhonda!”

“My little terrier can be a handful but Courtney managed to win his heart very quickly. He was so happy to see her every day! He has some health conditions she managed very well and also gave me updates each visit. Courtney is kind, professional and trustworthy. I trusted her wholeheartedly with my pup in her care. You could not go wrong in choosing her as a caregiver for your fur baby.”

About: I have taken care of my pets my whole life and now I’ve got a pittie of my own so I will love and care for your pet like they are my own. I work full time at Wildwood Wildlife Park and Zoo as a zookeeper. I get two days off during the week but they are random unless I take off.

Otherwise I am free after work and overnight at anytime I am completely comfortable taking your dog for walks or the park. Anything you would like me to do. I have a car hammock in my car to keep them comfortable and safe.

“Jordan is awesome and I always feel my kitty is in good hands while I’m away. She is responsive and was great when some issues arose with my house while I was on vacation. I will definitely rebook when I’m out of town next.”

About: Thank you for considering me to take care of your animals! I just moved up to northern Wisconsin from Austin, Texas a handful of months ago and am looking to develop new customer relationships. I have 20 + years of experience with dogs and also volunteered on and off at Austin Animal Center in the dog enrichment program. I was heavily active on Rover prior to Covid. Following that, I had a good core group of animals through repeat customers and did not offer Rover services as often. I love dogs, cats, well...most animals in general! I feel more of a connection with them than I do with most humans. I currently live with 2 small dogs and an indoor/outdoor cat. When I watch your dogs, I do so as I'd want someone else to watch mine and will definitely give them all the love and attention they deserve and have their best interests at heart. I look forward to meeting you and my future fur friends. My current schedule is very flexible, so I should be able to work with you to customize care based on you and your animals needs. I am comfortable with whatever plans and routines you have in place for your animals and would like for me to follow while I am watching them.

“We highly recommend Mark and his services to care for your pet while you’re away. We knew right away after meeting Mark that he truly cares and is passionate about providing a warm, friendly and welcoming environment for our dog, Nellie. Knowing Nellie was in such capable hands is priceless for us and we appreciated not having to worry about her. She had several walks and playtime and we came home to a happy contented tired girl. We feel so fortunate to have found Mark and know he will be our go to when we need to leave Nellie. Thanks again Mark - you’re the best!”

“We were so very happy with Jayne! She cared for our Clover like she was family, and it made our time away from her less stressful for sure! She kept us updated, and sent us pictures and I knew my fur baby was in good hands and also in a more comfortable environment!! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again for our Clovers’ care needs!! Thank you Jayne!!!”

About: I have had pets all my life and love them like family. They share a special place in our hearts and provide comfort, comical moments and overall joy Your home pet sitting only. I do work part time but only gone for short periods of time. Available weekly or weekends. Available for daytime and overnight stays Will provide all the love and attention they need. Feeding, snuggles and potty breaks. I am able to administer medications or special feeding schedules that are needed.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, mostly cats and dogs. I’m a new retiree looking for a way to spend my days. I can’t think of anything better than pet sitting! I recently retired and need a way to stay active! Dog walking will certainly help me do that! If you have a cat that needs to be walked, I’m all in! I will follow all of the rules of your home for your pet. I want you and your pet to feel comfortable with me in your home.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I was 5 years old. Family and friends have relied on me to watch their dogs and let them out when there weren’t home. I have had all types of dogs ranging from aggressive rescues to seniors. I have 3 days off of the week and I do wake up early so I can take them on a walk and play. I would leg them out multiple times a day. I am leaving at the end of August for school so I won’t be in Minocqua. I will be coming to your house to feed, play, and let your dog out and if need be sleep over. If need be I will put them on a leash and walk them, but if you have a fenced yard that’s great.

“Mark was a fantastic dogwalker! He was able to help out at short notice when I didn't have anyone to walk my dog. And he also helped speak with my parents about Zosia's training needs and offer to support and train, particularly with her leash-pulling. Zosia really liked him and he's really great with animals. Would definitely book again!”
