House Sitting in Attica

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I don’t remember a time without them. I have worked with a lot of animals that needed medications for healthcare problems. I do currently work a full time job and a volunteer job but I am looking to expand my horizon and spend more time with animals. My pets have a fenced in yard at home, I do also have a barn that I love to take the dogs out to to run at.

“She was very sweet always sending pictures of our fur babies. She kept them active and loved so they wouldn't worry about where we were. We recommend her highly and will be our go to in the future!!!”

“Rhandee did a great job with our pups and was very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dogs prior to our trip, which was super appreciated. We would definitely book her again!”

About: I've cared for cats and dogs my own as well as other owners, for the last 20-plus years I also have experience with other kinds of animals. I protect animals fiercely and I am extremely receptive of detail and specifics that any pet owner may have for me. I have varied availability throughout the week and weekend. Although I have another job, and have a family, I still have flexibility to do pet care. :-) I care for my own animals deeply in one of my top priorities is meeting their needs. I probably even go above and beyond for someone else's pet as I understand that someone else is putting their fur babies in my care. I appreciate good communication and I pay attention to details that a pet owner may have for me.

About: I have several years of experience caring for many different types of animals. I have been a cat owner my whole life, so am very comfortable caring for cats (indoor or outdoor) in any capacity. I have previous experience dog-sitting for both small and large dogs, as well as senior dogs. I have experience providing drop-in visits for potty breaks, walks, feedings, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications, playtime, extra cuddles, as well as staying overnight to provide daily care for pets whose owners are out of town for multiple days. I also have some experience checking in and feeding farm animals such as chickens, guineas, farm cats, and cows. I am a big animal lover that has been around animals my whole life. I would love to give you peace of mind when you are away from home to know your pets are being looked after and well cared for! Currently a full-time college student and working part time in the Madison area. I have a flexible schedule so can do drop-in visits or stay overnight with pets if you live within a decent commuting distance to Madison. Comfortable caring for many different types of animals. I can provide most anything from a quick check-in, to an overnight stay if feasible. I am able to provide walks or outdoor time for dogs, comfortable cleaning litter boxes or other pet cages, and can even administer medications if needed too.

“Elizabeth was amazing with my dog while I was traveling for work. She sent daily updates and many pictures. I would definitely use her services again.”

“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!”

“Samuel was fantastic! Our two dogs and cat were well cared for, and the house was spotless — he even washed the sheets and towels. Highly recommend and will book again.”

About: I have had cats for more than half of my life and dog-sat for around the same amount of time. I used to dog sit two huskies all the time, had a dog of my own for a short time, and have experience dog sitting for labs as well! I have even taken care of a bearded dragon and snake on multiple occasions. Rover does not list animals other than cats and dogs directly but I am happy to arrange care for another animal as well, including exotic animals, for a fee that can be discussed. I am volunteering at the humane society and am very involved in caring for animals as much as I have time for. I am excited and ready to care for any and all pets that need it and will stick to specific details given. I won't hesitate to ask questions about the care of your pets when I have them to make sure your pet gets the utmost care and love while you're away or busy, and id yoy have plants that need watering, say the word and I'll do that too! I am currently full time in senior year of high-school and volunteering for two hours a week on the weekends, but I graduate in a month and will have all the time in the world to pet sit! I follow every instruction for food, water, walk, and treats and ask questions if I am unsure of something. I tend to stay longer than needed for check in visits just to give pets some company if I have the time. Unless pets are not very social, they will get all kinds of attention, and if they have any anxiety or behavioral differences I will be very careful and act however is best for them. I am very sure to be on time for visits and will be very specific to follow instructions for walking or being taken outside.

“Our second booking with Abigail and we are glad we booked again. She’s trustworthy and really takes care of our dog Howard like family. She sends pics and updates us every night. Will be using her again soon!”

About: I’ve been helping care for my families dogs since I was little, doing things such as cleaning up after their messes, giving them their meds, taking them on walks, and simply just spending time with them and giving them the interaction they need. I’m currently looking for a part time job aside from Rover, so I’ll have as much time as needed to come help care for your pets! Nearly anytime of the day, I can come over and walk your pets, feed them, clean up their areas, or just simply spend some time with them. I’m able to come over nearly anytime and watch your pets, feed them, clean them, or whatever you need! I can give them meds, crate them, walk them, etc.

About: I have had dogs since my childhood and have worked with breeds of different sizes and backgrounds, including some with special needs. In my home life, I have two cats that I adore and spend much of my free time with. I’m available all day on weekends, as well as from 5:30pm onward on weekdays (typically). If you have specific requirements for your animal let me know and we can create a schedule that works best for you! I can perform any specific needs that your pet may need. One of my own pets has special medical requirements, so I am familiar with taking care of animals that need extra care.

About: I have two dogs myself and I fully trained one of them myself, plus I have experience with senior dogs and smaller dogs as well. I’m a dog lover through and through! I have a part time job but I am available throughout the week to drop in and either let your pups out/play with them, or to give them needed exercise! I’m also a student so afternoon/evening or AM works best for my schedule. I am open to interacting with your dog(s) based on what they need and are used to. I can easily let them run around in a fenced in area or crate them when I leave if need be. I am very comfortable walking dogs outdoors or just playing with them inside if preferred.

“I can’t say enough good things about working with Phillip! He was kind, professional, and easy to trust with our two hyper and reactive doggos. Above all, it was such a relief to know that our fur babies were being cared for by someone who loved dogs as much as we do!!! We simply relaxed and enjoy our vacation! Thank you, Phillip!”

“Amanda was a godsend when our house sitter cancelled last minute. We met her first then her with her dog, Sedona, and I knew right away this would work out really well. You see my dog, Millie, doesn’t warm up to people easily and doesn’t always play nice with other dogs but Millie instantly liked both of them. Amanda stayed at our house along with Sedona, so Millie was spoiled having her two new friends stay with her. They went on many walks and Amanda sent me lots of pictures while we were gone. I will definitely use Amanda again!”

“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: Lifelong pet owner and experienced sitter! Having managed a multi-pet household (3 dogs, 2 cats), I’m an expert at maintaining routines, administering care, and ensuring every pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. All of my pets were specific in their needs and that individualized care is the best route. Pet sitting turned into a side hustle during college, and I loved it so much that I continued to balance it in my schedule after I graduated. As a teacher, I bring patience and organization to every visit, ensuring your furry family members get the care they deserve. I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy puppy play to the specific boundaries of a senior cat. Before the school year comes to a close on June 5th, I will only be able to care for a pet before 7:30am and after 4pm. Once I finish up with teaching classes, I will have a very flexible schedule to help out whenever needed! I treat your home with the utmost respect and your pets with the deepest affection. My goal is to maintain their familiar routines in their own sanctuary, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and completely at ease until you return.

About: I work at a doggy daycare as both a dog attendant in the daycare setting and a receptionist. As a daycare attendant, I work with dogs big and small to tend to their needs while monitoring their behavior to ensure they are in a safe and healthy environment! As a receptionist, I work with clients when it comes to taking care of their questions about their dogs, I work with vaccination files, and I am certified to administer medication to the animals. I prepare meals, take care of dogs who do not go into daycare, do hourly cleaning, and work to ensure their is adequate communication between staff. I also have had dogs my entire life, including my family and I fostering and rehabilitating dogs that come from traumatic situations. I currently work 3 days a week, two week day evenings and one weekend day. I graduate high school in early June, so this summer I will be available very often to meet pet care needs. I am available to do overnights, days, and even just check ins for your pets! On nights that I work, I am available after 8-9pm(just depending on when I get off of work)! I work very hard to establish trust with, not only families, but pets as well! I work with dogs for my job, so it is important to me that I know warning signs and body language of an animal in order to best fit their needs. If I am in someone's home, I will respect the space given to me when trusted to properly care for someone's animal/s. I also respect the space of an animal, meaning that if they are making it clear that they do not want affection or for me to me in their space, I will respect that unless it is absolutely necessary for me to push that boundary (feeding, nail trims, etc.)

“Amber was able to watch my two dogs at my home with very short notice. She was very responsive, kind, and easy to work with. I came home to two happy pups after a weekend away and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

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.
