About: when you choose me as your pet sitter, you have nothing to worry about. I care for all pets as if they're my own. I live in an apartment and I'm currently only available to do boarding with one dogs but will consider two if they are bonded pair. before any boarding or housesitting services confirmed, I require we meet in person to ensure all the details are understood and that your dogs are OK with my dog. I have a 30 pound beagle mix named Daisy who is three years old and she will be with me at all times. I am always available for drop in visits and dog walking. prices fluctuate due to various factors but the main ones these days are gas prices and distance of travel. I.e The farther away you are the more likely there is that a added fee will occur before confirmation of service. I provide pet care in services full-time as of November 2021. I am available at any time if you need me. i'm currently available for the following services: housesitting, pet boarding, drop in visit, dog walking for 30 minutes or 60 minutes, and one on one dog training. if your dog is with me, I live in a neighborhood that is very dog friendly. We have two dog parks and I am often at these dog parks at least once a day. However if you have a dog that is not comfortable with that I would not take them there. I would focus on other activities that are more suited to your pet. I also take a lot of pictures and I am constantly in contact with you so you don't have to worry where or what we're doing. I currently work as a therapist with an office in the Madison area, right next to the plow and hearth. My schedule is pretty flexible and it changes weekly as my client needs change. I am almost always around, that makes me a great person for any last minute bookings needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of affection, daily walks, and playtime tailored to your pet’s needs. I keep the space clean, secure, and low-stress, with my own well-behaved dog Daisy as a companion if your pet is comfortable. When staying in your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions closely, maintain regular updates, and work to ensure your pet feels safe and cared for in their familiar environment. I aim to build trust with both pets and their people every step of the way.
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I grew up on a farm and have always loved animals. My girls Piper, Ella and Shelby are my world. I love these dogs like they are children. They are spoiled I will admit. I also have taken care of my friends dogs for years while they have been out of town and my house as "Aunt Paige's Doggie Camp" All my dogs I have brought up from puppies. I have house trained them, crate trained them and trained them on the invisible fence for the yard. They always get lots of love and have lots of toys to play with, both inside and outside. I work from home, so I'm always here to take them out and take care of them. My dogs are always outside when it's not too hot or the weather is bad. I live on a quite street which ends in a cul-da-sak. So I will walk them at least 2 times a day The most important thing is they must get along with other dogs. I have a invisible fence in my yard and can certainly put your dog on it if they are trained on one. Otherwise I will go out with them and walk them. If they are well trained and can be lose a return on command they can play in the yard with my girls.
About: I have cared for friends and family’s dogs for 20 years. I have cared for dogs after surgeries, administered medications and have bottle fed puppies. I work from home for my husband’s trash business and have flexible hours so I can be available throughout the day to check in on your pet. We have 2 female indoor cats and a 3 year old male bloodhound who thinks he is one of the kids. He is crate trained.
About: Hi!! Along with my great love for pets and animals in general, I have a dog (yorkiepoo 8 y/o) who I am the sole caretaker for. Also, I have been pet sitting (coming by to walk/feed/hang out with) for a family with two dogs (labrador 7 y/o, retriever 9 y/o) for about 5 years. Lastly, I often spend days/weeks pet/house sitting for family with pets who take medicine daily and need regular exercise! I am a student at UVA, but am home for the summer looking to spend time doing something I love (being with animals)! I have another job as a server, but my schedule is very flexible and easy to adjust so I am often available! In your home, I make sure to solely focus on your pet and their needs and nothing else. If needed/asked, I can crate your pets or make sure they have everything necessary in there, along with making sure there are no choking hazards or anything like that.
About: I have been caring for animals on a professional basis for over fifteen years now, from working in a high volume animal sanctuary, fostering for CASPCA, and taking multiple CPDT Dog Training classes! I specialize in puppy socialization and creative enrichment. I do currently work a part-time job, but have flexibility for mid-day potty breaks. I am off early on Wednesdays and Fridays, and all weekend! I am able to spend most of my time off caring for your pets with minimal interruptions or coming and going. We are currently in the process of moving and updating business requirements accordingly, so in-home boarding is very limited. For in-home sitting, I aim to leave each home cleaner than I arrived. I utilize a secure lockbox for key management. I commute frequently with pet parents with a lot of pictures and videos!!

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for friends and neighbors for around three years now. My family has two cats and two dogs that I've helped care for and train since they were young. I also have experience with older animals and their needs since one of my dogs and one of my cats are twelve. I currently don't have any other summer employment, so my schedule is open. I am available mornings, afternoons and late evenings every day of the week and weekends, just not for overnight care. I can stop by throughout the day to feed, play with, and let out animals. I can also do short or long walks with dogs or even cats!

About: I have owned multiple dogs in my adulthood. I currently own a 2 year old golden who I have personally trained. I have worked at a dog day care for 5 months where I learned more about dog body language and how to diffuse any fights. I have walked and babysat dogs for friends. I consider all dogs to be my friends, because there is no such things as a bad dog. I work 12 hour night shifts Friday-Sunday. I am completely available Monday-Thursday, but can do some walks on weekends. Because my weeks are so open then I can spend more time taking care of pups. I have a friendly golden retriever who is only 2 (almost 3). She loves to play! She does great with other dogs (she used to have a brother) but also knows how to cuddle and chill. We have a big dog park that is hardly ever used where I could take her and yours.
“Laura is friendly, professional, and patient with our shy dog. We've been very happy with her and will continue to book her for our dog walking needs!”

I am always off on the weekends so I am available anytime any day. I take care of my animals by always being on top of what they need. I make sure they have exercise so at night they are able to sleep. I make sure their belly’s are full and walk them about 45-1 hour later to make sure they know to use the bathroom outside. I give them PLENTY of attention and they always love being around me.
About: I grew up in a family that had 2 cats, and I because we lived in a bit of a small neighborhood, sometimes the neighbors would ask to animal-sit/house-sit for them when they were away. My schedule is fairly open throughout the week, sometimes things may pop up here and there, but obviously I will let you know if I will or will not be able to do something last minute. But my schedule availability as of right now is open from Monday-Sunday! So please feel free to reach out and ask! Sometimes I will house my in-laws three dogs when they are on vacation, we have a fence in the backyard and a clean pet friendly house!

About: I am a lifelong animal lover. I am comfortable with caring for any breed and any size dog. We have a senior beagle mix, named Tallahassee, a Weimaraner, Luna and an American Bully, Axl. All of our dogs love to meet new pupper friends. Luna and Axl love to play with other dogs, while Tallahassee is the more laid back of the three. I have a flexible schedule so that I can work with most to be of any need to the animals in my care. I am comfortable and confident in caring for your animals and will care for them as if they were my own. As a dog, cat, rabbit, and chicken owner myself, I know and I understand the importance of who you leave your pet’s care in the hands of! I’m currently not working full time so I will have plenty of time to fit in all of the extra care and attention for your animals! I have a fenced in yard that the dogs can run and play in freely. Of course, if needed I can put the animals out in separate timeframes.

lindsey g.
“Lindsey is an incredible pet sitter, and I couldn’t recommend her more! I usually worry when having someone watch Stella because she’s high maintenance, but with Lindsey, that thought doesn’t even cross my mind. She takes such great care of my beagle, treating her like one of her own. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that Stella is in loving and capable hands when I’m away. Lindsey is reliable, attentive, and truly understands animals. I always come home to a happy pup, and that means everything to me. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet like family, Lindsey is the one!”

From the moment I met her, I could tell that she had a genuine love and passion for animals. She took the time to get to know my dogs and their individual personalities, ensuring that they were comfortable and well taken care of while I was away. She followed all of my instructions and even went above and beyond by taking them for long walks and playing with them in the backyard. I received daily updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing that my dogs were in good hands. When I returned home, my dogs were happy and well-groomed, a clear indication of the excellent care they received from Caitlin. I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter to anyone looking for someone who is responsible, caring, and trustworthy. Thank you, Caitlin, for providing my dogs with such a wonderful experience while I was away.”
