“Robert did such a good job sitting for my dog Ozzie at my condo. He was very attentive to detail, asked good questions, sent me lots of photos and seemed to really enjoy spending time with Ozzie. Made my trip worry-free!”
“Tara has watched our pets multiple times now and we could not be happier with the care she provides! We have three old/ special needs pets and Tara is so patient with them. She not only takes amazing care of our pets, but she also sends great pictures. We always come back to happy pets and a clean home.”
“Seanna was fantastic with my reactive pup! She communicated well and kept me up to date with how Willa was doing. I hate having to leave my pup when I travel, but I had complete peace of mind while Seanna stayed with Willa. I recommend Seanna without hesitation!”
“Nate watched our 3 dogs and stayed at our house for a long weekend. He was great with our active puppy, gave medication to our senior dog, and provided lots of love to our pit bull snuggler. We recieved lots of pictures and the dogs were worn out when we got home, he took them on walks and played with them in our backyard. The dogs loved Nate. Would love to have him take care of our dogs again anytime!”
“Kaitlyn accommodated a last minute request for us, which really helped us out. She did an amazing job with our energetic puppy, he was happy and well taken care of. Our house was in left great shape. Would love to use her services again.”
“Alex was awesome! She was very nice and attentive to detail. We really appreciated her good communication and updates about our cat throughout our trip. We would definitely recommend her and use her again!”
“It was so nice to know we had a reliable, kind and experienced pet sitter! Amy took care of our two dogs, cat, and gecko and sent great pictures during her stay. We were lucky to have her!”
“Jordyn is an incredibly responsible and patient pet sitter! During our three-day trip, she provided timely updates every day, keeping us informed about our dog’s activities. Our pup absolutely adores her—they got along so well! Our whole family truly appreciates Jordyn’s wonderful care and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Jordyn!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every size and breed since I was a 14. I grew up in Alaska so there were more safety concerns when taking animals out for their walks. I know to take great care of your furry family member. I’ currently working from home and volunteer coaching volleyball. I would love to take your dog on daily walks to the coffee shop and ensure that they will receive lots of love and attention! There is an open space dedicated at my apartment for dogs to do their business and I have a closed in patio if they need some fresh air. I have no problem crating your dog if needed but I wouldn’t mind letting a pup on the couch!
“Louis and her family took good care of my dog. He seemed very happy the entire time and enjoyed their company. She made sure to send lots of pictures and check in too.”
“Tatyana did a great job with our three dogs who range in size from a 90 lb German shepherd down to a 25 lb mutt. She sent pictures and videos, and with it being the first time she watched our dogs, it made me feel 100x more comfortable. We also had one dog who needed to take medication that she ensured was administered.”
“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.”
“Julia was so pleasant and professional! She asked great questions to prepare for her time with Princeton, and you could tell she really cared - Princeton warmed up to her immediately :) I highly recommend Julia and would definitely hire her again!”
“First time we used this service. Riley did an amazing job taking care of our two little Shih Tzu’s (5 year old and 4 month old). We were gone for 6 days, and not one problem. While we were gone, there was a lot of rain and she even drained our pool to keep from over flowing. We are so greatful for her great care for them! Will definitely request her again for any future trips, and recommend to anyone else in need of dog care. Thank you!”
About: Dogs bring so much joy to my life, and I love giving that right back to them. I’m new to Madison and working as pharmacy resident so don’t have time for my own pup but have so much love to share! I work full-time as a pharmacy resident during the day, so I’m available for evening walks after 5 PM on weekdays. I have full availability on weekends. Safety is always my top priority on walks. I stay attentive, use secure handling, and tailor each walk to the dog’s pace and comfort level.
About: I love dogs! I worked for Ruff Trails in Madison taking packs of dogs on nature hikes, on and off leash. My family has had dogs since I was a young kid. I also have experience as a dog sitter/walker for bosses and friends. I have experience with basic dog training, and have an authoritative manor when working with dogs, as well as really enjoy and have fun with dogs. I would prefer notice for sitting bookings. I’m currently in between jobs! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule currently to add both daytime and overnight pet care needs. My schedule will continue to be flexible through summer 2026. I have a number of beautiful dog friendly trail locations that I like to take dogs for longer walks. Otherwise if you’re looking for a short walk I’m happy to take your pup around the block! Please let me know about any household rules or needs, and I’ll be sure to respect the household culture that I step into.
About: I have a family dog that has been around since my elementary school days, so I have experience taking care of him from both his time as a puppy and an elder currently! I walk my friend’s dog often and he’s a doggie with a whole bunch of energy. I have some extra time on my hands in between jobs and would love to help out where I can! I currently am looking for something new, so I can stick to a weekly schedule if need be. I am also open for pop ins on one off occasions if there is something new on your schedule! I currently have an apartment with an no-pet policy, but I am open for pop-by to see your furry friend. I can make sure to refill their water bowl, give them some dinner, spend some time playing to make them feel some love, and hang out a little if they’ve been lonely all day.

We just got back from a trip and Brenda was our house and animal sitter. She always takes such great care of our pets (1 dog and 2 cats) and our home. I cannot say enough good things about her. We have already reserved her for our next trip. Thanks so much, Brenda!
Robert couldn’t have been better! He took great care of my high-needs pup and she made it through our longest getaway just fine. She was given multiple walks per day and plenty of outside time. We also received at least one picture per day to show the kids (which made them very comfortable. I’ll definitely be booking him for my next trip.
Seanna was such an incredible sitter for our Charlie girl. So communicative, reliable & kind. We knew Charlie was in great hands while we were away. So appreciated the end of day updates & photos. Charlie got injured before we left for our trip & Seanna was on top of giving Charlie her medication & thoughtful about walks with her injury.
Ashley was phenomenal in every aspect of caring for our pet. Before we booked, she came by for a consultation so we could make sure it was a good fit for everyone, which immediately put us at ease. From the very beginning, she was caring, compassionate, and accepting. We were away for 11 days, and Ashley went above and beyond by sending us daily updates and photos. It was so reassuring to see our pets happy and well cared for while we were gone. Her professionalism, communication, and genuine love for animals made the entire experience stress-free. We highly recommend Ashley and would gladly trust her with our pet again!
We've never had anyone watch our cats except for family. I was extremely nervous, but after reading Abigail's profile, and watching her interact with our cats at the initial meeting, I knew I had found the right person! Abigail took lots of notes and asked tons of questions to make sure she had all the information to not only cat sit, but stay in our house for 12 days. Both cats immediately took to her like they were long lost besties. We were out of the country, but I received multiple photo's and video's every day so we never felt like we were so far away. The people we were traveling with were impressed with the number of pictures, updates and video's we received. Somehow she even got the picky eater cats to eat more than they do during a normal day. If I ever need someone to care for our pets in the future, Abigail will be the first person I look for!
We were delighted with all of our experiences with Manu and how she cared for our dog, Bella for four days. Manu doesn’t just love dogs! She is knowledgeable about dog health, behavior and training as well as being very perceptive about a dog’s needs. Even before Manu started, she made sure that she had all the information she needed. Then when she had a question she spoke with our contact person. Then while we were away, she sent us s wonderful stream of photos of her playing with, walking and exploring with Bella. Bella was clearly very happy about being with Manu when we picked Bella up. We all feel confident that we left Bella in good hands and hope to work with her again. Review from 4 members of our family.
We have entrusted Alaina with the care of our two high-energy Labrador puppies on numerous occasions, and she consistently provides excellent service. During her most recent visit, she spent quality time engaging them in outdoor play in the yard, their favorite activity, and ensured they received the special treats we had provided. We returned home to two happy, well-cared-for, and content puppies. Alaina is dependable, attentive, and demonstrates genuine care for the animals in her charge. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter.
