“I reached out to Samantha very last minute and she was extremely accommodating to my request. She gave me a piece of mind while I was gone on a work trip for 3 days. She sent me pictures and made sure she was treating my girl Reba with care. Lots of walks and making sure her food was prepared the way she’s used to. Thank you Samantha!”


“Danielle was wonderful with my pups! Along with TLC, she was able to handle their challenges and keep them happy and healthy. I loved the pics she sent and immediately responded to any check-ins or just my missing them and needed to see a picture right now!”


“Nikole was INCREDIBLY awesome with my baby girl while we were out of the country! She was super attentive, sent pictures every day, and gave her lots of cuddles! I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again!”



“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!”


“Jessica was the perfect dog sitter! We needed a house sitter on short notice and she really came through. The dogs loved her and I felt so comfortable leaving them with her. She introduced her dog Maya to ours and everyone got along great. Highly recommended!”


“Hayley did a great job with our girls. I can always tell when they are well cared for because when we come home they barely notice we are gone. And they let us know if they are not! :) Hayley kept me well informed and sent pictures. Definitely recommend!”


About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dog, who I’ve had for 9 wonderful years, as well as helping out friends and family with their dogs. From feeding and walking to playtime and cuddles, I’ve handled a wide range of everyday pet care needs and understand how important consistency and attention are for keeping pets happy and healthy. What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. Because I’ve mostly cared for dogs in a home setting, I know how to keep them feeling comfortable, calm, and loved when their owners are away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they get the attention, care, and affection they deserve I prefer to watch dogs at my home for boarding, as I work remotely and am home during the day to provide plenty of attention and care. I also have two children at home who love helping out and enjoy meeting new dogs! I’m open to occasional daytime house sitting as well, as long as I’m able to work remotely. Your dog’s comfort and happiness are always a top priority in our home! When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and relaxed environment where they’re treated like part of the family. Pets have plenty of space to rest, play, and explore, and I make sure to stick to their regular routines as much as possible, that means morning walks, medication schedules, or feeding times. I keep communication open with pet parents, sending regular updates and photos so they feel confident and connected. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I’m respectful, tidy, and make sure to maintain the same level of care their pets are used to. I follow all instructions closely and take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs. I make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved while you’re away.

About: I am an animal lover. Always have been. I grew up on a farm and have worked on a couple as well. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, goats, cattle, pigs, sheep, even ferrets, raccoons and squirrels. Have always had multiple pets while growing up and currently have my 3 dogs and 2 cats. I've always enjoyed caring for animals. Brings me great joy and have always wanted to make it some kind of job. They bring a calming peace to me and I feel like I connect with all animals and that's why we get along so well. I am currently working full time in Madison at a doggy daycare and work at 3 different facilities. I have gained lots of experience with working with puppies all the way up to elderly dogs and all sorts of breeds. You won't be disappointed in choosing me to care for your family members. Thank you for your time checking out my profile and considering me. I work full time at a doggy daycare but am available before or after my shifts during the week and free on most weekends. I am pretty flexible. I have a fenced in backyard and 3 dogs who are great company. My dogs are crate trained and I have extra crates if your dog would need one as well.

“We have never used an In-house sitter before that we did not know, Ava did a great job of sending updates letting us know that the dogs lives were "normal". She was at the house a lot so our girls got all the attention they needed. They got outside probably more than with us. No issues with the house, all was the same as when we left. Very good experience for first timers. Will hire her back when the need arises.”


“Zackary was so awesome! We was super communicative and seemed to spend a lot of time at home with our two kitties boys. He asked questions when needed, checked in often and sent cute pictures! Our kitties were definitely happy when we got home and he was respectful of our space. Thank you so much Zack, the boys will be happy to see you in the future 😊”


About: I am very caring, loving, and outgoing, especially when it come to animals and children. I work full time as a daycare teacher (6 weeks- 14 year olds). I grew up with my loving black cat, Blackjack. I also had a hedgehog and currently have a bearded dragon that I love dearly! A little more about my education, I have my bachelors degree in Elementary Education. My family is the most important thing in my life and I have a huge passion for animals and teaching. I have plenty of time to play, walk, and spend some quality time with your fur baby after work or on the weekends! 😀 💕 M-F: 5:30pm-10:00pm Sat & Sun: open availability The animals I care for are always safe and happy! My main priority is that they are always comfortable and have plenty of love and nurturing! One of my favorite things to do is to take and send pictures throughout my stay so you know that your animal is safe and happy! 😀

“Allison was so friendly and accommodating to work with. She was able to pet sit for Winnie overnight for the whole weekend! We got home, and the house was in pristine condition, and Winnie seemed pretty happy! Allison was very responsive, sending pictures and communications about Winnie often which is exactly what I needed throughout the weekend!”


“Alissa was a very attentive, courteous, and conscientious pet sitter. She sent us several updates throughout the day, asked questions when needed, and responded promptly when we were checking in. We arrived home to a well cared for pup and a home that was clean and tidy. Many thanks, Alissa!”


“My cats have never been so calm after I’ve been gone. They were so peaceful and didn’t even care I had gotten home! I know she took amazing care of them. She kept great communication and is an awesome person in general! Thanks Anna!”


“Sam took excellent care of my dogs and home. I was happy to get pics and updates, as well as to come home to a clean house. He even washed the bedsheets ? I recommend Sam for both house and pet sitting!”


About: Always been around a variety of pets from Bearded Dragons to Guinea Pigs, and the traditional cats and dogs. Prefer pets to people some days. I have alot of free time thru the week and weekends, as my kids are grown and I work flexible part time jobs. I previously volunteered at the Humane Society as a dog walker for 2 years. Interested in both short term and repeat clients. I clean and groom my own pets, play with, snuggle, sleep with and talk to. I'm happy to comply with your pets schedule and personality.
