About: From the beginning, my wife and I have shared a love for pets, especially dogs. I formed a home where our first child was a furry, four-legged friend. This beloved first canine child strengthened my love and taught me profound parenting skills, and I have passed that legacy on to our two teenage children and our three-year-old son. I formed a home where the love for our dogs is genuine and sincere. That's why caring for your puppies is my responsibility, and I take it very seriously. I have extensive experience caring for all types of dogs, breeds, and ages, and we carefully study their different and unique personalities and needs. I treat them with love and respect. From the moment your dog enters our home, he/she becomes another member of my family. Rest assured that he'll share unique and memorable spaces with each member of my family and will be a part of my family routine without exception. My home is a loving, personalized, safe, and warm home for your dog. Depending on your needs, I accommodate and strive to make our four-legged friend feel at home with us.

Toni always goes above and beyond with our cats! We have a shy cat and by her second time having come to visit, the shy girl was willing to make herself known. That speaks volumes about Toni’s soul. Such a good person. We can’t wait for her to visit again!

About: I've been a huge dog lover since I was young owning dogs from dachshund, GSD's, until now where I personally own 2 Boerboels (150-175lb) and a blue nose pitbull. I currently work 3am to 7. Then all day is mine. I coach middle school track and field at 4pm so free to make new furry friends all the time. You can see me walking my Boerboel at lake andrea daily. My yard is fenced and as for transportation I have a suburban and a buick to get the dogs for long afternoon walks. Keeping their minds active is the key.

Millie had a great time with Liliana. She was caring and fun. Liliana helped me out in a pinch and was able to drop in on Millie at the last minute. I'd definitely work with Liliana again.

Christy gave special care and attention to my senior dog. She was this little dog's, who had gone through many changes in a short time, first pet sitter and it went well. I will welcome Christy back and recommend her as a reliable, caring pet sitter.

About: I've taken care of a variety of cats and dogs from young to old. I've pet sit for several friends and neighbors. I enjoy playing and walking dogs. I'm a teacher so I get home pretty early in the afternoon. I have several days off throughout the year, including holidays. I'll be home on summer break starting May 29, 2026. I don't have any pets so your pet will get all my love and attention. I live in a beautiful neighborhood to take walks. My house has plenty of room for your pet to run around and play.

About: I've been volunteering at pet shelters since I was 15. I'm a retired military veteran who just loves dogs. When taking care of your dog I can take them out on runs or on long walks depending on your request. If your dog prefers to cuddle on the couch that could easily be arranged too! Growing up I had three dogs and know how they are important members of the family. They hold a special place in our hearts and I will give them the utmost respect, love and care while taking care of them. I will do my very best to make sure your fur baby is well taken care of, so well that they will be barking to have me come back! Also if you choose me to dog sit expect lots of dog pictures! I love doing photoshoots! I'm going to school part time so I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to drop in visits or walking! For home stays please let me know early in advance! With walks I'm aware and will physically check the temperatures of sidewalks to ensure the safety of your dog's paws. I'm also always on the lookout for broken glass or trash that might cut their paws. If requested I also don't mind taking dogs to local trails for a nature walk!

Sara is wonderful! We have 3 dogs and 2 of them are puppies. Sara came over for a meet and greet with the girls and they bonded with her right away. She was so sweet to them and got right on the ground to have them check her out and let them know she was there for them. Sara comes daily and her willingness to be flexible if we need additional visits is above and beyond. We highly recommend Sara and would have no problem with her taking care of our dogs while we are out of town as well. Very trustworthy. Thanks Sara for coming into our lives and taking care of our fur babies!

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was eight years old. I had my own dog at this age until I turned 20 years old. I have also taken care of my friends dogs, or cats. This has made me be comfortable with feeding, walking, taking care of animals. I am reliable, timely, and really do love animals. I know animals are family and I will make sure to treat your animal with care and kindness. I have lots of time to be able to look after your animals. As of right now I am available Monday through Friday 9am - 9pm. My weekends fluctuate, so some weekends I may be available others I may not be, but I am very flexible. If you need a day on a weekend I am open to the conversation. I care for pet's by the instructions of the owner leaves. Also making sure that the pet is in a safe environment, this being when we go for walks, always making sure the pets leash is secure and being aware of my surroundings. I also will make sure your animal gets all the attention, and care they need.

About: I've been around animals of all kinds my entire life; cats, dogs, fish, iguanas, guinea pigs, rats...you name it! I've been the go-to sitter for my friends and family for years and take great pride in providing in-home care to their furry (or scaly) family members. There isn't a bigger lover of animals out there! I am the Development Director for ALIVE Rescue in Salem Lakes, WI and volunteer with the animals on a weekly basis. I am certified in fear free training and have experience handling dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and temperaments from puppies to seniors. I have a reputation for cultivating immediate bonds with those that are often considered shy, timid, or unsure of people. I have a special place in my heart for these kind souls and truly believe that all they are is miss-understood. I do my best to offer them a safe space to be themselves – whatever that might look like. I take my time to earn their trust and let them drive how much and how quickly we interact. I believe in my heart of hearts that animals are the purest form of love we have on this planet, and I think they are able to feel that through my energy. I work from home full time which allows me to pay extra special attention to your fur babies. I can make frequent potty breaks, administer medications, or just provide love and cuddles throughout the day. Your pet is my number one priority, I'm here to help you and your fur baby and will take any and all care instructions to heart. I think it's important to keep any schedules and routines as consistent as possible and will take just as good care of your home as I will your four legged angels.

Hope was simply amazing. She is very sweet and came over ahead of time to learn the ropes. She wanted to know where my kitties hid so she could find them and get pics for me. She made sure they had food and water and cleaned their litter boxes. I would recommend Hope to anyone at anytime.

I was so glad that Stephanie was able to come over on short notice to do a Drop-In visit with Rosie. I sent her a whole lot of details all at once and she assured me that everything would be fine. she was right. She sent me several photos of Rosie looking so happy which made me feel so good. :) Thank you, Stephanie!

About: I truly love animals and have years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs through rescue work. I’ve helped with feeding cat colonies, TNR efforts, and supporting dog rescues, which has taught me how to be patient and attentive with animals of all personalities. I’m especially good with shy or nervous pets and always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is already a natural part of my routine. I’m used to planning my days around feeding, checking in on animals, and making sure they’re comfortable and cared for. Because of my experience helping with rescues and caring for animals regularly, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I always follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks or playtime, litter box or potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs to make sure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and keep their environment calm and familiar. 🐾

Brianna took amazing care of my 3 kitties. They absolutely loved her. Her communication was excellent and my cats barely noticed I was even gone. She did the cutest arts and crafts projects with them, brushed them, took out the trash and left my place spotless (other than the amazing arts and crafts I came home to.) All of my instructions were followed perfectly, she never left any trash behind, and brought so many treats and toys for the kitties! She came to meet the kitties ahead of time and bonded with them so fast. I would trust Brianna with my cats in a heartbeat and I don’t even trust my parents with them.
