House Sitting Witwen

“Kimberly has sat for our crew several times now and we are always thrilled with the job she does. Frequent check ins, our animals are always relaxed and happy when we get back, and she takes better care of our place than we do! It’s completely taken the stress and worry away that we used to have about what to do with our pets while traveling. She doesn’t treat this like a side gig or try to get our pets needs to accommodate her schedule. She makes herself at home in the best way so you feel she is truly completely focused on caring for your fur family!”

About: I’ve had animals in every corner of my life, throughout my whole life! I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats all with various needs such as medications, appointments, and mobile assistance. I have also volunteered with Wisconsin WildCare and local humane societies. I am a passionate & fearless animal advocate with speed dial access to a large animal vet and a retired DNR officer. I will treat your pet as my own whether it’s in my home or your home. I work a full time job only seven minutes from my home. My job is incredibly flexible and understanding of my need to let animals out or even leave work early for pet care! I have a balcony that animals can hang out on and a large grassy field that I take animals for walks on. I always keep them leashed. If I want them to be unleashed, I can take them to the local dog park five minutes from my house! I am comfortable with animals on furniture and sleeping in bed with me. I have access to my own crate if the animal is crate trained.

“Carlie did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs while I was away. It was clear they were comfortable and happy—they really enjoyed lounging and cuddling with her. She was also very attentive to their care needs, doing a great job managing their medications, potty breaks and even keeping up with their teeth brushing, which I really appreciated.”

About: I grew up with dogs and horses and I now have cats as well I love all animals and I would do anything for them I will keep them safe and loved. I worked for a lady for about a year and a half and I took care of all of her pets and loved them and treated them as my own which I would do with yours as well. My main priority is keeping your pets safe and loved as I know how much they mean to you. I am currently trying to find a part time job but I will have time to do this and will make time if things are needed. I can crate your dogs if needed, I can feed them, I can love on them, I can let them out to go potty, and I can of course walk them. You let me know what you need and I can do it.

“We had an amazing experience with Amber! She went above and beyond in every way. She stayed overnight with our dogs, took them on walks, and kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The biggest surprise was coming home to our dogs’ feeding station it had been spotless! We had left it pretty messy, and she cleaned it immaculately without us ever asking. That level of care and attention to detail meant so much to us. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals and treated our dogs like they were her own. They were happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking with her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, thoughtful, and truly exceptional!”

About: I enjoy caring for energetic dogs and love keeping them active through games like fetch and tug-of-war. I am a dependable and attentive pet sitter who is comfortable administering medications and providing any additional care your pet may need. I strive to build trust with every pet I care for, and I’m proud that many of my clients have chosen me as their recurring pet sitter. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently available through the beginning of August and am happy to discuss scheduling to find a time that works for you. Please feel free to message me with any questions about my availability. I typically provide care in your home to help keep your pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I can also welcome your furry family members into my home for stays of up to two days, if needed. While I do not have a fenced yard, I make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise through long walks and trips to local parks. If your dog enjoys socializing with other dogs and you approve, I’d be happy to take them to a dog park for additional play and enrichment. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow your care instructions and make sure every dog in my care receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and responsible supervision. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“So thankful we found Alicia! She watched our very shy and anxious pup, and everything went great. She was extremely communicative and sent a lot of nice update photos. We felt at peace knowing Alicia was with her. Would definitely book her again!”

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I was little, between dogs, cats, reptiles, and even farm animals such as dairy cows, pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I can take care of pets at any time of day or night, and I can walk dogs after 4 pm. Tuesday & Thursday, I do have class from 7-10 am. I have a fence for my pets, we play with toys, and we go on walks (depending on the weather). My dog will sleep where she is most comfortable and she always goes to the bathroom on time.

“Sidney was great! Very attentive, patient and kept us updated the whole time! We have a very energetic pup who is still learning manners and she was patient with him. We also have an old girl who can be a little unsure of new people and she gave her the time and space to warm up to her. The dogs were in great hands! We will be using Sidney again!”

“Olivia was just what we wanted and needed for our trip. She and Addie safe at the homefront were a superb solution for our family! We won't hesitate one bit to call her again for another booking. Thanks Olivia!”

“Matthew was great! The dogs were well cared for and I my family was able to have a stress free vacation. I will definitely book again in the future.”

“Rebecca is so great with my dogs and I always come home to happy pups and my house as I left it! She's great with photos also, so my mind can be at ease when leaving my dogs for over nights and check ins! Highly recommend!!”

“Karina always shows such care for my pets. My dog and cat both have health issues that require multiple medicines and supplements. She always follows their routine closely, asks questions to make sure she’s providing good care, takes my dog on daily walks, and sends daily pictures. I also come home to a clean house. I will not hesitate to request pet/house sitting from Karina again and I highly recommend her!”

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.

About: I lived on a farm when I was a little one. Later, I was a trusted house sitter for relatives when they traveled (watching the home and taking care of 2 dogs and 2 cats). I owned my own cat for 15 years. I've taken care of farm animals but not on a regular basis. I'm competant with delivering meds and being really careful with senior pets and those needing special care. I'm one of those people who talk to pets like they are people. I can be there for the extra play and snuggles puppies need, but I think the initial potty training should be by their owner. I carefully listen to the owners and what their schedule is like. Then I morph my schedule to be very close to that so the routine is similar with me and their pet. I adhere to the pet owners instructions. I make myself available for the pet so we learn to trust each other. I show lots of affection, if the pet wants to receive it. If not, I can give them space.

“Autumn took amazing care of our pet Nico. She was kind, communicative, and playful. Nico didn’t want to say goodbye! Thanks, Autumn!”

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)

“Elise watched my two dogs overnight and took great care of them. She sent photos, kept me updated, and was very tidy.”

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. :)
