About: I would love the opportunity to care for your pet, as I have 18 years of experience in animal care, training, socializing and grooming. I have worked with puppies and kittens, to large animals such as cattle and horses. I promise to provide emotional support, understanding, lots of playtime/ potty breaks, and a safe, calm environment for your pets. I currently work part time as a caregiver for the elderly. When I have time off, I love to spend it with my dogs and my horses. I plan to have a few days open weekly for pet care as I transition into a full time position for animal caretaking. Pets in my home have free range for activities, allowing them to express themselves at all times. Pets in my care will never be crated unless stated by the owner. I will abide by feeding times and rules set by owner, and will contact owner with questions or concerns. I will always maintain a safe and uplifting environment for pets, that includes lots of cuddles and free range on couches if that is a safe space for them. I am flexible with requests or special cares.

“Kim was amazing with our animals. Especially our dog Jazz. Jazz gets very anxious and has been uncomfortable with past sitters, but none of those problems occurred with Kim. Kim is attentive and patient, and full of love for the critters they care for. Thank you Kim!”


“Abrianna is truly exceptional! She cared for our two dogs with such love and attentiveness—it was like leaving them with family. Over the two days we were gone, she kept in regular contact, sending updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. She walked them, played with them, and gave them all the attention they needed. We came home to happy pups and a spotless home. Highly, highly recommend!”



“Rachel took care of our little zoo while we were away and she did a spectacular job! She even let our pups sleep in bed with her so their routine wasn’t disrupted! She sent me many updates and constantly communicated with me which is always so so appreciated. We will definitely be using her again!!”


“Heather did an amazing job with my boy Palo Santo. He is a large German Shepherd but still has puppy energy only being 1.5 years of age. She sent pics and videos of them playing in our yard. He absolutely loved having her as his sitter. We also felt comfortable with her having access to our home and being respectful. Heather was attentive and reliable. I would absolutely give her 5 stars and will continue to use her in our home for future needs.”


About: I've been around animals my whole life, from dogs and cats, to rabbits and birds, even goats and turkeys. I'm always happy to be around them, and am more than willing to make sure they're happy as well. My family always knows who to call when they need the critters taken care of, no matter what. I currently have open availability, from morning to evening, and weekends are open to all. Nothing better to start the day than a walk with man's best friend. I can't board pets in my apartment, and depending on the dog/client wishes in question I tend to let them follow their normal routine. I always make sure that they get plenty of exercise and fresh air.

About: I've taken care of many dogs and even more cats over the last 38 years. I love them and will love yours like my own. Semi retired looking forward to helping people out. I have a very flexible schedule and a very dog friendly home. We have one dog in the home sometimes too because I watch my daughter's dog. We have a big country yard, dogs would be monitored with a leash unless the dog is good at obeying commands. Big yard with walking trails.

“Rebecca was awesome. She was kind and patient with Derby. She sent pictures and messages through out our weekend. It was comforting to knowing my girls were happy and safe. I will definitely ask her to come back and recommend her to others.”


About: Conveniently located 7 minutes from Wisconsin Dells (the map is not accurate), in the country on a few acres with a large fenced in area! I love taking care of pups in my home just as one of my own furry family members. I have a degree as a vet tech and in canine obedience and behavior! I have been boarding dogs in my home and pet sitting for over 25 years. I also ran a wonderful dog rescue for almost ten years giving me a wide variety of experience with many situations and behaviors. I love being able to help people with knowing their pup is in the best of care so you can enjoy your Vacation or not add more stress in a time of sorrow or whatever the situation may be that brings you to needing dog sitting! I also own my own business doing interior painting so have a very flexible schedule. I love being able to be flexible for you and for your pup I have a fenced in yard, can separate and/crate dogs as needed. I do offer for them to sleep with me at night and be spoiled. I will take them for rides, hikes, to the store all if applicable!

About: Hello my name is Candida (Candi). I have worked in and with Rescues and Humane Societies throughout the State of WI over the last 30 years. I currently have 4 dogs and live out in the country with lots of room to run. I am very familiar with different behavior issues as well as how to work with your pets to get through those issues. This experience comes from fostering many high risk animals over the years. Your pet will be treated the same in my home as he/ she is treated in your home. If they go on your furniture, they are welcome on mine, etc. I am always willing to go the extra mile, if your pet needs a bath or a nail clip, I am happy to do that. I have experience with training, CPR, Giving Meds both by mouth and shot. Some of my friends lovingly call me the crazy dog lady because of my deep love for dogs, they have feelings and emotions just as we do and I always take that into consideration when caring for them. Given the opportunity I will show you that you can trust me to care for your baby while you are away just as you care for them when you are home. I currently work part time at my own small business so my schedule is super flexible and can be easily worked around your needs. This gives me the flexibility to give your pet all the time and attention they need while in my care. I have four dogs that are the sweetest babies. They get along great with all animals as well as kids. I do not have a fenced yard as we live on 80 acres out in the country, but I do have a portable temporary fencing that can be put up for outside time. We have a large area in the lower level of our home for inside play time. As I said earlier, when your pet is in my home, they will be treated just as they are when they are with you. I know how important routine is to their little minds. If you feed at a certain time, I will follow that routine. I know mine have a very set routine, they surely know when dinner time is. :o)

About: Hi, I’m Chris! I’ve always loved being around dogs and have spent years caring for pups of all kinds — from high-energy adventurers to laid-back couch companions. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and I’m here to give them the attention, care, and exercise they need while you’re away. Whether your dog loves a long, brisk walk or prefers a slower, sniff-filled stroll, I’ll adjust to whatever makes them happiest. Their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first with me, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Regular walks do more than just burn energy — they help dogs stay healthy, ease anxiety, and keep them mentally sharp. Plus, it gives them a chance to explore, smell new things, and just enjoy being a dog. I’d love to meet you and your pup and be a part of their daily routine! I do a lot of running and trail running so if you have an active dog, we could have a lot of fun. But I also enjoy slow paced walks and just enjoying the environment. As I have had inside/outside dogs most of my life, I will always contain pets into the areas that are available for them but not a caged containment unless needed.

About: My name is Kat I am 25years old. I work from home at my own buisness. I am offering pet sitting, walking, Drop ins, and house sitting to the local area. Willing to travel within a 30min radius however if you are willing to help with fuel cost id be glad to travel anywhere. I have experience with all animals big and small. Reptiles, cats, dogs, horses, cows, etc. I grew up on a farm and currently have my own little homestead. Training is no problem for me if needed. I have trained many animals for my family and friends and have also helped groom them. Animals are my passion so if you are looking for a reliable easy going pet sitter look no further! I'd love to help you out I care for my own animals 2-3 times a day. Some days are more busy than others but im normally always around to make sure everyone has food water and attention before my day starts and ends. I can offer services at my house or yours depending on location. I do ask if I have to travel outside of a 45 minuet diameter that you pay for my fuel just to help even out the cost. My goal is to make sure you're pets are happy and they are as comfortable as possible whole you are away. It can be very stressful for some animals when owners are gone so trying to stick to their normal schedule is important to me.

Aliya O.
“Aliya has been an integral part of my success in raising and training service dogs for autism, PTSD, anxiety, diabetes, and guide dogs for the blind. At all hours of the day and night Aliya has assisted in the birthing process — nurturing, protecting, and bottle feeding brand new puppies. She has been called the “puppy whisperer” for years. Caring for dogs could not be a more organic fit for Aliya’s gift with animals. She would be at the top my short list of people I would trust with my babies.”
