Dog Sitting Waterloo

About: I have experience fostering cats and dogs of all ages the last 6 years. I have experience with special needs dogs and cats, reactive dogs, and puppy training. I work from 7:30-4 Monday-Friday I am available to stay at the house to be there in the morning for the pets. I will be there right after work. I unfortunately cannot watch pets at my place, but I can stay at your place or can just stop by to feed and let out.

About: I have been around animals all my life and even gravitate towards animals versus people in most social situations. I have cared for small Poodles and Terriers, as well as Labs and Great Danes. When I was in middle school, I taught my Golden Retriever obedience and agility. I put 110% effort into all jobs I am hired for because it’s truly something I love. I am an active individual who also loves to snuggle up on the couch with a good book. So whether your pet is an active walker or a cuddly couch potato, I promise to provide them with the love care they need while you are away. I can't wait to sit for your family and help ease your worry while you’re away! Before going to work as a teacher, I would make sure to check in on your pet in the morning. Feed them, take them potty, and depending on time take them for a morning walk. Directly after work, I would go home to see my cat Benny, and then go visit your house. I’ll make sure that your pup is fed, goes on a walk, or has a great amount of playtime and snuggles! Before taking them outside at your house, I would make sure that your dog is either on a leash, the yard fence is closed, or their recall is good with me. Most importantly, I want to make sure that in a new situation and with someone new in their home, they somehow do not get loose.

“Cassie took excellent care of our kitties while we were in Florida and even brought in our mail and packages for us! I would highly recommend her for your petsitting needs.”

“Bella did a terrific job caring for our 4 cats. She took time to play with them, and gave us extra details about how they were doing. She was reliable and left everything neat and tidy. I had to change my schedule at the last minute due to illness, and she was flexible and understanding. We would highly recommend Bella to care for your fur babies when you're away!”

“Elizabeth came to meet us on a Thursday and was able to care for our dog on Saturday. She was thorough, patient and detailed with our pup and her report with how things went. Our dog can be barky with new people but that didn't stop her. We will use her services again in the future! Definitely recommend to others.”

“Sylvia was a fantastic cat sitter! She took care of our cat Rhubarb for 3 days, including giving her oral medication. I really appreciated Sylvia’s reports about how Rhu was doing and I could tell from the pictures that Rhu loved being with her! Sylvia gave Rhu lots of affection and play time. I highly recommend Sylvia as a drop in cat sitter and we hope to work with her next time we go out of town!”

About: Agnes Mable, my dachshund of 12 years taught me patience better than anyone. I love spending time cuddling, giving belly rubs, sniffling frito feet, & running around the yard chasing them like a screaming banshee. I stay at friends & neighbors houses frequently when they're away to watch their dogs, cats, & fish. I also have friends & neighbors dogs over for weeks at a time. I've been doing this the since moving back to Wisconsin in April 2024. I love taking care of pets like their my own. Once I have a fenced in yard, I will welcome another dachshund into my life, but until then I fill my cup with caring for other's doggos & kitty cats. I'm excited to meet you! Extra treats for pugs & extra belly rubs for the heavy weights that can fetch & return! I work from home & the days I'm traveling for work will be unavailable to book. We'll spend all day together! I've got a spacious yard, large back deck that gets direct sun light for the one's that like to bake, & if they get along with other dogs, sometimes I walk over to my sisters with them to meet my favorite pug, Potato! I live in a duplex on the bottom floor so it's easy in & out, no stairs. My yard is massive with lots of plants & trees to sniff around. I'll always take my fur friends outside on a leash. I do have a small crate available for dogs under 15 pounds, toys, treats, & extra leashes just in case you forget something. Most importantly, I have a big lamby & a small lamby.

About: I had a German Shepard growing up and he was mainly my responsibility, taking him outside, feeding, walking, playtime. I currently have a senior cat that I've had since she was a kitten. I also have a male cat he's 5years old. I currently go to school part-time on Monday & Wednesday's, I have a part-time job as well that is very flexible and would give me all the time I'd like to help others with there pets. I love plants, making sure all my plants are pet friendly and everyone I safe. My living room is a good size to roll around and play. I have a patio if they wish to hang out side in the sun.

About: I have always loved animals no matter what kind. Our family rescues animals as well and finds good homes for them. Pets are like family and I treat all fur babies like my own child :) I have a lot of experience with larger dogs who dont walk so nice in leashes also. I love cats too and if they need love and affection I'm the perfect one. I would love to take care of you're fur baby for you while you are away at work or on vacation or just dont have the time. I will also go swimming with them or whatever you would like me to do with them. No rollerblading though is the only thing I will not do with dogs.

“Baylee was AMAZING! She was flexible with the times she was able to stop over, carefully watched the weather and opened and closed the windows so the cats could stay entertained while we were gone but the house didn’t get wet 🙃 our shy cat even came out to see her every time she stopped over! She kept us up to date with pictures and information with each visit. Would definitely use her again”

About: I started pet sitting at age 12. I’m comfortable with all animals from exotic to barnyard (ex. Horses, pigs, bearded dragons, wolf-dogs, fox, skunks, parrots and ferrets). I have had my dog for seven years, and my senior cat for one year. I currently do Rover full-time! I am a busy bee- I’m also a student at Edgewood College and a new mom! I love taking regulars and new clients! My pets are crate trained and respect boundaries. I also have baby gates for separation. I do not require crate training but it is extremely helpful if your pet is, so please let me know!

About: Hi! My name is Lensy, and I’m excited about the opportunity to care for your pet. A little about me: I am in grad school (online) and work a hybrid job which gives me flexibility/ allows me to be remote a good amount so your furry friend isn’t alone day! I have plenty of experience looking after neighbors’ pets, from playful puppies to full-grown dogs. I also have experience with birds and cats. I can’t wait to take your furry friend out for walks, keep them entertained, and meet their unique needs. I understand it can be hard to trust someone new with your beloved pet, so please don’t hesitate to share any concerns or specific instructions. I’m here to make both you and your pet feel comfortable! I’m flexible, understanding, and passionate about keeping pets happy and active. I look forward to meeting your little companion! PS you will see a lot of photos on my profile of my family golden doodle Coco, who is my whole world😌 I I often have the flexibility to work remotely and do grad school online which allows me to be quite adaptable. I am available to do in-person visits and check-ins throughout the day, though I’m unable to provide lodging. My weekends are currently free, so I’m happy to arrange care for your pets during that time as well. Please feel free to reach out to discuss how I can best accommodate your needs! When caring for pets in my home or in my client's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment tailored to each pet's needs. In my client's home, I want to be sure to know their routines. I focus on providing a stress-free experience, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for in familiar surroundings. At home, I have a pet of my own, a mini golden doodle named Coco, who has taught me a lot about pet care and the importance of personalized attention. I ensure a calm, pet-friendly space where all animals can relax and feel at ease. I also maintain consistency in feeding times, play sessions, and any special care routines. I always ensure their safety and well-being is my top priority, no matter the setting.

About: I have been a CVT for 18 years, actively working at an emergency/specialty clinic. I can care for all ages and sizes of dogs and cats. I have a part time job that is flexible, my main focus is pet care and services. I am available most days and hours. I am pet sitting or caring for pets on a daily basis. I will utilize your house to care for your pets so they are more comfortable and less stressed. I will follow your daily routines to keep them feeling secure.

About: I have grown up with multiple different breeds of dogs my whole life. Never had less than two dogs at a time most of my life. Experienced with labs, retrievers,beagles and Rhodesian ridgebacks. I currently own a 5 year old neutered male Rhodesian ridgeback. Very active friendly and playful. I currently work 7 minutes from home. I work from home on Fridays. I walk my dog twice daily and weekends are spent with him. While I don’t have a fenced in yard my dog is never outside not on a lead. I always stay clear of other dogs while on walks and go during the less busy hours of the day. Two 24 hour emergency clinics within 25 miles of my house.

About: I think something, I can proudly say is that I have people meet me once and trust me to watch their pets. I’ve had pets and I have taken care of friends and families pets since I was 12. Truly bonding with my pets was the highlight of my childhood, an experience that I know not every child is fortunate to have. I’ve seen my dog from puppyhood to his frosty senior days. The care is different of course, diets and lifestyle routine slow down and more careful attention is needed. Love is another key, all animals are deserving of being treated with respect and kindness. That includes the animals in the forest, since I work outdoors I see a lot of birds and critters and each one’s life is valued and admired. Like my job, the environment of the pet is important. Keeping the food and water bowl clean, is something I find some families neglect but I find that to be a little disheartening as you would not like to drink out a dirty water glass Services offered * 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day * 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away * Basic House-Siting include staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles I currently work outdoors for Ice Age Trail Alliance, and unable to commit to the time for a long term companion, however I have just enough time to spoil and love on other people’s adorable pets :) Truly, the most important aspect of pet care is the establishing the safety and security of your pet. The initial meeting with your pet, getting familiar and making sure the pet feels like they can trust their caretaker is crucial. That establish trust between caretaker and pet, allows me to ensure the best case scenario for your pet. Whether it be, trusting you on a walk or worse case scenario luring your pet from under the bed or loosing the lead for a second. I offer comfort of house sitting or walking your pet to ensure their routine is uninterrupted. :)

“Thank you Peyton for taking good care of Ellie! I felt very comfortable while she was in your care.”
