House Sitting Argyle

“Mariela stayed with our pets are our home this past weekend. We have two dogs and a bearded dragon. We highly recommend using Mariela for your pet sitting needs! Mariela was willing to stay at our home, handle our pets care, and provide love/comfort during her stay. Mariela even took our dogs for a walk to have a nice fun activity. Mariela also was willing to learn how to care for a bearded dragon. That can be incredibly challenging especially when it’s all new, but Mariela handled it like a champ! She showed both our dogs and our bearded dragon so much love. We are so incredibly thankful to her for everything she did! If you are needing a pet sitter, we strongly recommend Mariela! She is a true professional and she even sent us updates during her stay to help reassure mom and dad their babies were doing okay! Mariela thank you so so much for everything you did! We greatly appreciate you!”

“We left our pups in Kaitlin’s care at our house for an entire week and we couldn’t have been happier!! Kaitlin loved our pups and they were super comfortable with her as well! I was actually jealous because she got way more snuggles than I typically do! We will definitely ask her to come back and I highly recommend her!”

About: I graduated in May of 2025 from the Madison Area Technical College Veterinary Technician Program, then passed the VTNE to become a Certified Veterinary Technician. In school we worked with dogs, cats, horses, cows, and lambs. I have had dogs since I was a child, and I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I worked on a farm taking care of horses for about two and a half years from 2020-2022. I've taken care of pets for friends/family for many years as well! I currently work at a vet hospital, though I am out on FMLA. Unfortunately, that means I can only take on pets less than 30 lbs at the moment. If you're looking for someone to take extra care of your pets, please reach out to see if we're a good fit! I'm currently working full time as a certified veterinary technician at a veterinary hospital. I work 40 hours a week with a varying schedule. Generally I work 8 am - 6 pm four days a week (my day off during the week changes each week). I work on Saturday about once per month. My rover clients will be scheduled around that availability. I currently live in an apartment with a cat and will not be able to watch clients' pets in my home. If I am watching pets in the client's home, I will take care of them the way I would take care of mine. I am respectful and conscientious of your personal space and privacy.

About: I grew up around dogs my whole life, thats how I learned responsibility. Helping my family take care of dogs feeding, walking, and training as far back as I can remember. Various breeds including dobermans, terriers (jack, pits, etc) Rottweilers, boxers, etc. I've also been the trusted person around town that family friends would pay to watch their dogs, including too many breeds to name! That started in my teens as soon as I could drive to the houses. Im now 32 with a year old pittie and an almost year old German shepard. I have trained both myself (not certified nor looking to train) but I take pride in building relationships with dogs. Any age, any breed, ill treat your pet with as much love and care as you can wish for! I've administered meds, dealt with social/separation anxiety and nothing scares me away to give the patience and time your pet deserves. I work full-time with a very set and reliable schedule. M-F 845am to 515pm. I can stop by both before and after work, for breakfast and stay longer after to ensure more playtime and care. If distance permits, can also stop by at lunch. Weekends are completely open for whatever you wish for your pet. I do have a fully fenced in back yard and both my dogs are friendly, although I don't offer overnight boards in my own home I will welcome weekend day care in my home. Otherwise, I have no issue with crate trained pups. You supply the rules and I will abide with your wishes when it comes to your own in home care.

“Medea is wonderful. She took such great care of our sweet big girl. Daily check ins and photos eased our minds and we were able to truly enjoy our time away. She left our house clean and even did laundry (even though we told her not to worry about it). We are thrilled we have someone we can trust with our beloved pet and home. Thank you again for everything.”

“Lisa was responsible, loving and knowledgeable when caring for our boys, Sunny and Louie. This was our first time away from the boys. We were able to really relax and enjoy ourselves knowing they were in good hands with Lisa. They loved her and can't wait for her to come back. When we travel again, Lisa will be our go-to dog sitter. Thank you, Lisa!”

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, rabbits and even reptiles since I was a little kid growing up in Madison, Wisconsin--we had cats, dogs, rodents and reptiles, often all at once. As an adult, I've kept and cared for cats of all kinds, including ones needing medical care / injections. I truly am a cat person but love all animals. I'm currently a consultant-based worker, so my free time is kinda plentiful. I like playing with and caring for animals, and as a home owner myself, I am very capable of watching and caring for a home while someone is away. I use gentleness and love and the owner's instructions to care for animals in their homes. Currently I don't offer pet boarding, but am great at drop ins for feeding / treats and potty breaks / litter box clean 'n refresh.

“Allison was amazing!! She provided daily updates and photos of my pets and took great care of my house while I was away! I would recommend her to anyone and trust her to watch my pets again!”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, with a special appreciation for senior pets and those who need extra patience or consistency. One of the most meaningful experiences I've had was adopting a 12-year-old cat that developed chronic kidney disease (CKD). I cared for her through nearly four years of treatment, managing medications, hydration, appetite, weight, and daily routines until she passed away just shy of her 16th birthday. That experience taught me the importance of careful observation, consistency, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior that can indicate something isn't right. I also have experience caring for a Yorkshire Terrier and understand the unique needs of toy breeds, including their size, energy, and safety considerations. Several family members and friends have larger dogs that I take on walks and care for when they're away. Professionally, my background is in consulting and project management, which has made me highly organized, dependable, and detail-oriented. I follow instructions carefully, communicate proactively, and believe pet owners deserve regular updates and photos so they can enjoy their time away with confidence. My goal is always to care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care while maintaining flexibility. I currently offer overnight house sitting, typically from approximately 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m., when many pets appreciate the comfort of having someone with them overnight. During the day, I may have other work or personal commitments depending on the booking, but I always communicate my schedule in advance so expectations are clear. I strive to keep pets on their normal routines for meals, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and companionship while respecting the schedule that works best for each household. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially seniors or pets with medical needs, and I do my best to minimize disruptions to their daily routine. I am able to pick up your animal and drop them off for an additional fee ($10 / day). When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is maintaining the environment and routines they already know. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, exercise, household rules, and any special care your pet requires. I take time to build trust with each animal, allowing shy or anxious pets to become comfortable at their own pace. Safety is extremely important to me. I pay close attention during walks, keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets for changes in behavior or health, and never hesitate to contact an owner if I have a question or concern. I also treat every home with the same respect I would expect someone to show mine, keeping it clean, secure, and well cared for during your absence. Communication is a key part of my service. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing and can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was really young. Other than always having a dog of my own, I’ve taken care of pets of family, friends, and neighbors. This past year has really been the first time I’ve been without a pet. My daughter and I have a lot of love and attention to give any furry friend. I have early mornings and late afternoon-evening open Monday-Friday open and most weekends are completely open. Holiday time will have more availability with my Thanksgiving and winter break. I have a pretty big yard and a quiet neighborhood perfect for taking walks. I plan to do my best to make sure your pet feels as at home as possible when in my care.

“Ewa is such a great sitter. She just loves dogs (cats too but I only have a dog). It might be hard to trust someone new to come into your house when you're not home to take care of your fur baby, but Ewa gives me such a good feeling, I don't worry at all about the house or my Maizy.”

“Chelsea was amazing! Stevie really loved her and she took really good care of her. Will definitely be rebooking with her next time I go out of town.”
