Seanna is great with my shy dog, Ren. She is flexible and helped me on the fly load Ren into my car. She is patient, personable, and reliable.

Emily did a great job taking care of our Shiba Inu on short notice. Our dog is a bit skittish, and Emily was very patient. She even kept an eye on our cats.

About: I am a dog, cat and pet lover. I will stop 10/10 times to pet a dog and learn about him or her. At the local park, I know most of the dogs by their names and ironically, few of the owners haha. I would love the opportunity to spend time with someone's best friend and help out! I am very attentive, detail oriented and careful with animals. I also know animals are more than "pets" they are just like family. I would be honored to help take care of someone's best friend for a few hours or days to help out. I offer a safe, secure space for someones pet as well as close access to a park and outdoor space. I am available for walks as well as for visits or assistance on Fridays and most weekends. I believe dogs help people just as much as people help dogs! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to accommodate pet parents and their schedules as needed. I am able to offer short or longer walks, pet sitting and other services as needed. In my home, I have a clear open space and am able to spend close time with my clients pets while they are in my care. We are just a short distance to a small park with plenty of outside walking options. We can sit and watch tv, play catch, or take naps.

Very satisfied and happy thus far with Nate's care of our puppy. He's been extremely responsive to communication, prompt and timely for scheduled walks, sends fun photos during their time together, and our puppy seems to have taken very well to him. I would have no hesitations recommending him to friends or family!

Kali was a wonderful caregiver for my King Charles cavalier. I was out of town for a few days and Kali supplemented his walks during the day. He flourished under her care and I was kept up to date on his status and had no worries whatsoever

About: I have had pets my entire life, both cats and dogs. I raised my two current cats from kittens and helped train my family dog as a puppy (she’s now 7). The past few years my family has been part of a program where we train a puppy for two weeks before sending them off to their forever home. I am currently working a part time job with a pretty flexible schedule so with notice i can be available weekdays or weekends to have plenty of time with your pet(s)! I have an apartment with three lovely cats (2 are mine, 1 is my roommates). They all grew up around dogs and are very tolerant.

About: I cared for my little dog through his entire life! I've also been a go to dog and cat sitter for my friends and neighbors. I've most recently cared for my senior dog so I'm used to frequent short walks supplemented with pee pads. I love just hanging out with animals and keep any eye out for adjustments to make their lives easier like proping up food bowls I put pet comfort first. If someone isn't ready to interact then I'm willing to wait. It takes a lot of respect and patience to develop trust.

About: I've lived alongside pets my whole life, and have volunteered for hundreds of hours at various animal shelters. I have experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I also love long walks, beaches not required, and am perfect for those high energy dogs that never seem to tire out. I am a nurse working a swing shift so I am up at hours, on an ever-changing schedule. This means that I can care for your furry little ones on a short notice, and even check in on them at night if you are away. I only have a small apartment at the moment, unsuited for pets of my own or for yours. I will change this information as my circumstances change.

About: Hiya! ~ I’m Natalee. Nice to meet you! Im a proud dog/cat lover and have a deep respect for animals of all sizes, shapes, and breeds! I spent my childhood caring for my neighbors dogs as well as the family pets. I’ve also cared for cats, Guinea pigs, snakes, and bearded dragons. In 2019, I adopted my three-legged rescue dog Link! Learning to care for an animal as an owner has taught me how to be a better human to myself and to others. I love living in pedestrian-friendly Madison. That means dogs everywhere! Anytime I see a dog out and about, it brings a smile to my face and brightens my day. I bring that same joy and care to every pup I meet, whether it's for a quick walk or quality playtime. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and make sure they have a fun, safe, and loving experience every time we're together. I’m currently working part-time on a flexible schedule. This means that I have plenty of time available to be there for your pet; even on short notice! Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities! I take all client instructions seriously—whether it's related to house rules, feeding, medication, or walking preferences. I'm committed to following your guidelines closely to ensure your home is well-kept after and that your pet feels secure and cared for. 💜

About: Growing up, I adored the family cat and dog, and was responsible for their care throughout my teen years. Cuddles and Fidget were a bonded pair who lived long, happy lives and passed within months of each other in 2020 while I was in lockdown abroad (I’m so not over it). As an adult renter, circumstances have not yet allowed me to have a dog or cat of my own. I turned to pet sitting as a way to continue connecting with these precious creatures who have so much to teach us about stillness, acceptance and the art of living in the moment. I also love reptile friends such as snakes and geckos! My work as an artist allows me great scheduling flexibility. This gives me the freedom to check in on your pets as often as they need, and keep them company throughout the day and night. Your pets are my top priority when they are in my care. I watch pets in their own home where they feel safest and can continue their routines as uninterrupted as possible during their primary caregivers absence. I talk to them and interact with them like they are my close friends - they get to know all my secrets! Having written instructions to refer back to during the stay, which are discussed beforehand with an opportunity for questions and clarification, is extremely helpful in understanding how to provide the best care possible. Let’s schedule a time to meet and help me understand what your pet’s needs, temperament and routines are!

Noelle walked our pup for 4 months and we have been so lucky to have her. She is so caring, flexible, respectful, and trustworthy. Due to schedule changes, we won’t have the fortune of working with Noelle anymore, but anyone who does choose to book with her will be so lucky! Our pup is always so excited when she sees Noelle, so know that your pets are in great hands with her!

Circumstances forced me to take a busy 24-day international trip, so I was grateful and relieved that Susan could be available to take my active 17-mo old Golden on daily walks. She took him every day in good weather and bad, and sent me many photos. She went above and beyond including my 14-year-old mini dachshund on some days, too. 10/10 would be glad to seek her help again!
