Karina was everything I was looking for. My dog has a lot of special needs due to high anxiety and a rough background. Karina was so accommodating to all her little quirks with giving her space, giving her her medication, and cleaning up her pee pads. Her communication was excellent, and she even washed the forks and cutting board that were used for the medication. I really couldn't have asked for anything more. She was great, and I'd certainly use her again.

About: I have grown up with animals, with my first dog being my 8th grade graduation present. From then on, we have always had at least two or more animals at home of any sort of mixture. I have cared for animals in various jobs, have watched family and friends pets for them, and have a little zoo of my own at home. I love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, but seniors will always have a special place in my heart. There is nothing better than walking through the door and seeing your four legged friend wagging their tail, jumping in and giving kisses, or rubbing against you with excitement to see you. My schedule is built around full time pet sitting which is the core of my work. I also hold a part time job for steady income with fully adjustable hours allowing me to prioritize your pets care. Throughout the day, I keep detailed notes and send updates, photos, and messages to owners so they feel connected and reassured. Because pet care is my full‑time focus, I can be flexible with last‑minute requests, extended stays, or changes in routine. Overall, pet care isn’t something I fit into my routine — it is my routine. My schedule is built entirely around making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I am very respectful of my clients homes and their wishes. If they leave instructions or tell me certain things, I will follow as they say. Pet parents are the ones that know their babies the most and I value trust and honesty when working with someone.

About: I have hands-on experience raising and caring for my own dog from puppyhood. As the primary dog walker and caregiver, I played a major role in his daily care, including potty training, teaching him his name, and training basic commands and tricks. This experience taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog's behavior and needs at different stages of development. Because I helped care for and train a young puppy, I'm comfortable working with dogs that require extra attention, structure, and exercise. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing positive reinforcement, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As an incoming pharmacy student at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, I'm also highly responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to following care instructions closely. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. As a college student currently on summer break, I have plenty of availability and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to provide attentive care, accommodate a variety of schedules, and spend quality time with your pet rather than rushing between commitments. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or companionship, I can provide reliable and consistent care throughout the week. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that helps them feel comfortable and secure. During walks and visits, I stay attentive, follow all care instructions closely, and ensure pets are always in a safe environment. I also understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, so I'll provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own dog.

About: Dog mom for 30 years giving love and care to dogs. I am organized, I follow a schedule, I love walking dogs and I have a high degree of responsibility. I have the flexibility to accompany them when you can't be at home with them. I have flexible schedule during my day because I have my kid at the school and I am flexible in my work. Also I can go at nights if the owner request. I think the pets feel more comfortable in their home. But if the owner feels the dog will be comfortable in my place, I can take of them in my home.

Cathy started caring for our black lab, Wendy, last week. She responded so quickly to my messages and was able to do a meet and greet within days of my first message to her! Our dog loves Cathy and it’s been going really well when Cathy comes to let her out at lunchtime. I would definitely recommend Cathy to care for your pet! She has a lab of her own and a lot of experience.

About: I provide attentive, high-quality care tailored to each dog’s needs. I’m experienced with structured routines, leash handling, and reading dog behavior to ensure a safe and positive environment. Whether your dog needs exercise, structure, or just extra affection, I deliver dependable, top-tier care every time. My schedule is currently flexible as I am in between work allowing me to be available morning-evenings. Whether you’re looking for a morning walk or running late from work I can be there. I try to keep things as normal as possible for your dog while you’re gone. I follow your routine, make sure they’re well-fed, walked, and getting plenty of attention. I’m also very respectful of your home and keep everything clean and in order.

Abby has cat sat two times for me and is gentle and kind to my feline Furkids Velvet and Pepper. Abby gives velvet her insulin shots and gets her to play with wand cat toy which is good exercise for her. Pepper is the athletic one and lives to play with Abby. She gets on the floor to play with them and gives them affection while I’m away which is a relief to me knowing they are cared for. Abby has a big heart and great personality; sending pictures and video and texts! She is super sweet and my cats love her too.

About: As a child I’ve grown up with dogs. My grandfather cared for Black Russian terriers, and I helped him take care of new litters every summer. I’ve also had a cat all my childhood, who I loved so very much. I am well experienced with pet sitting for family friends, and have had experiences with dogs and cats of all sizes, big or small! I would be happy to help you care for your pet, I have recently graduated from UIUC. I am home for the summer so my schedule is very flexible! I am available to care during any time of day/night, so long as the details are communicated beforehand we should be great! I will cater to the pets and owners need however they see fit! If you would like a simple walk, and a refill of water and food that’s great, if you’d like me to keep your pet company that’s fine too!

Karina is an amazing person. She made a point of visiting my cat beforehand, who is blind, to understand his needs. On our first meeting, my cat felt comfortable and rested his head on her, asking for affection… people's energy doesn't lie. Karina followed all the instructions and sent me photos and videos every day. If you are looking for someone trustworthy and loving, Karina needs to be your choice. I will definitely hire her again!

Luciana was fantastic! She came by on short notice to get acquainted with my two cats and my home before I had to leave unexpectedly for an emergency trip. Throughout my time away, she kept me updated on how my pets were doing and regularly sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Overall, I’m extremely happy with her care and professionalism, and I highly recommend her services.
