House Sitting in Carcajou

“It was a pleasure working with Samantha. She responded promptly to my questions and requests and did a great job with my anxious little Finn. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Danielle did an excellent job from start to finish. Because I found out late that our private sitter had to cancel, getting a replacement on such short notice was kind of stressful. Danielle had openings on the needed dates, and she quickly replied to my request. We set up a meet and greet, she came to our house, and the stress was gone. She immediately engaged with both dogs. They clearly liked her. My husband and I went up north, so cell service can be on and off. Danielle sent regular updates which I would see as soon as we were in range. I greatly appreciate that she left the house as neat as it was when we left; actually even neater. I would highly recommend Danielle. Thank you, Danielle for taking such good care of both dogs.”

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.

“Took great care of our two girls while we had a weekend getaway.”

“**Sulley Says 5 paws up for Laura! This was our first time using Rover.com and we were nervous about leaving our dog, Sulley, who has separation anxiety. We usually board him, but he gets so stressed, we decided to try something new. **We hit the jackpot with Laura! From the Meet and Greet to Waving Goodbye: Laura is incredibly reliable and listens attentively to everything you tell her about your pet's needs and preferences. She met with us at our house before the trip, and at our request, even came for a second visit so Sulley could get used to her without us there. **Peace of Mind While We Were Away: While we were gone, Laura sent us pictures and videos of Sulley, keeping us updated and feeling good about our furry friend. We even have pet cameras, which we offered to turn off, but Laura insisted on leaving on for our peace of mind. **A Happy Return: We came home to a very content Sulley! Laura clearly went above and beyond, even washing all the used linens and towels, and leaving the house spotless. **More Than Just a Pet Sitter: Laura is a 10 out of 10! She's not just a pet sitter, she's a lifesaver for pet parents with anxious pups like Sulley. We highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy, caring, and detail-oriented pet sitter. Thank you, Laura!”

“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: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and caring for them comes naturally to me. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs daily walks and playtime or a senior dog who prefers a calm, steady routine, I adapt my care to fit each dog’s needs and personality. What sets me apart is my focus on overnight, in-home care, so your dog can stay in their safe, familiar space while you're away. I provide consistent routines, lots of love, and a calm presence to reduce stress and separation anxiety. I also offer regular updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. Walks, cuddles, feeding, medication—I handle it all with the same love and attention I give my own pets. I work locally and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening playtime, I can easily work pet care into my routine. Because I stay nearby, I’m able to check in frequently, keep routines consistent, and be available for any unexpected needs. This flexibility also makes overnight stays smooth and stress-free—your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches, and they’ll enjoy a steady, comforting presence throughout the day and night. When I care for pets in your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved—just like you never left. I follow your pet’s usual routine closely, including feeding times, walks, play, medications, and bedtime habits, to keep things as normal and comforting as possible. I respect your home as if it were my own—clean, secure, and peaceful. I keep litter boxes or yards tidy, wash food bowls, and ensure your pet has fresh water and a cozy place to rest. I also provide updates and photos, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, quiet companionship, or active playtime, I adapt to your pet’s personality and needs, giving them attentive care and calm companionship in their favorite place: home.

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’ve taken care my own, as well as other dogs my whole life as well as being a foster through Diamond Dogs, giving me experience with a variety of breeds! I have experience feeding, administering medication and so much more! I’m currently a full time teacher so my schedule is very open in the summers! During the school year I am at my school from 7:00-4:00 but am still very willing and open to working with you for pet care! I have a lot of open time for house visits, house sitting, and walks. Pet care is largely based on what clients prefer. I love going on walks, going to the dog park, and doing whatever I can to help your pup get rid of some energy! If you have an older or a low energy dog I am still down to chill with them and give them some much needed company while you’re away!

“My girls loved hanging out with Allison! We could tell they were happy and well cared for. Her communication was great and we loved the picture updates! She went above and beyond to make sure our home was also taken care of! Would definitely recommend:)”

“Rylie was wonderful and our dogs absolutely loved her! She was great at communicating and even helped by cleaning the house after she left. We would definitely have her back!”
