Pet Sitting Cherokee Garden

“Blanca was amazing - super reliable and responsive! Our cat is usually grumpy, but Blanca is a natural and the cat LOVED her. Great updates and photos with each visit. Will definitely book again!”

About: Designated dog carer for family, so I figured I would expand the circle. I love going for walks and love taking a pup with me. I am working a full-time job. Mondays and Fridays, I am available from 6 am to 9:30 am. On Tuesdays through Thursdays, I am available anytime after 5:45 pm. Usually available anytime on the weekends for pet care and walking. My full-time job requires me to have respect and care for people's private information, so you can count on me to show the same respect and care for in-house sitting.

“Jen is incredible! She is so calm and takes my two border collies in stride! She walks them, plays with them, feeds them and is always very dependable 💖 I would recommend her to anyone in the Madison area! It’s a sense of relief when I have her booked.”

“Hannah was great! She agreed to do 2 meet and greets since we were moving and came in to feed our kitten (16 year old prissy cat) and got her to take all her meds, no problem! Thank you, Hannah!”

“Taryn was excellent. It was our first time using Rover for drop-in visits. Our cats loved Taryn and she took great care of them. She was a great communicator and went above and beyond. We will definitely use Rover again because of our wonderful experience with Taryn.”

About: I am a seasoned vet assistant, actively working towards my technician license. Fear free and pet CPR certified (BLS and ALS), as well as dog obedience and groomer certified. I am experienced with administering injectable, transdermal, and oral medications. I have been working with animals for over 10 years, and have been in the veterinary setting for 5. I have experience with fearful, reactive, fractious, and friendly animals. I am knowledgeable on the care/support of neonate and geriatric dogs, cats, reptiles, and pocket pets. I work overnight, so I will have time to care for your animals in the morning and in the evening. Depending on my work schedule, I may be able to accept afternoon appointments, but reach out to me personally to see my availability. I can do house visits and go for walks up to three times a day. My schedule is usually pretty open, so I can take time to get to know your pet, so we can build trust for future visits.

“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our two cats Mochi & Frankie! Heather truly went above and beyond, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. She didn't just handle the basics, Heather took the time to really bond with our cats, sent the best photo updates, and even got my shy Covid kitty to play and come out. It’s clear Heather genuinely loves animals. We’ll definitely be booking again!" We appreciated all the updates and photos.”

About: I’ve grown with big dogs my whole life and I have my fair share of personal experience with smaller ones as well. Additionally, I worked at Paradise Paws (doggy daycare) as a dog handler for about a year. I am very familiar with all the different breeds and personality types, even puppies! I have a very flexible schedule. I do online school and don’t have another job, so I have lots of opportunity during the day to hang out with your dogs! I will care for your dogs depending on your environment and the rules you have set for me. I will respect your environment and that of the dog, while ensuring they receive lots of fun and attention!

“Elizabeth was so great and accommodating!! Prompt communication and did a fabulous job with my cat. She provided a peace of mind while I was away.”

About: Eric and Rachel share a love for their beloved Aussie-beagle Lilo and fostering rescue dogs together. We know that it is never easy to leave your beloved dog with someone new, and in a new place. As our own Lilo has struggled with separation anxiety before, we know how important it is to have a pet sitter who is present, patient, and able to cater their care towards a dog’s specific needs. Rachel has taken care of 6 different family dogs growing up, including a border collie, golden retriever, Boston terrier, 2 mixed breeds and a silky terrier. Eric has taken care of his family dog (chihuahua mix) since birth till now (11 years old). Together, we have fostered 16 rescue dogs these past two years, ranging from a high energy Great Pyrenees to 3 Border Collie puppies all at once, to a completely afraid and anxious Beagle mama and Shiba Inu mama that are recovering from very difficult situations. We have also looked after American pit bulls, a large Newfoundland, and senior doggies who have hip difficulties and special diets. Our own dog is a 3.5 year old Aussie-beagle, so we particularly love the herding dogs. :) We both have lots of experience working with dogs of all kinds of temperaments and needs, especially high energy dogs who require a lot of attention and care, and administering medication to dogs who have special needs. Rachel also loves cooking her home cooked meals for her dog, and can do that for yours too, if you need! We both work from home and have all weekends free. Our flexible schedules together allows us to bring dogs regularly on walks and to look after them consistently. We follow instructions really well, and can take care of your dog according to your requirements. We allow dogs to roam and sleep freely in our home, but we can also crate your dog easily if you prefer. We know how to work with your dog with lots of gentle care and love.

About: I have lived with dogs my whole life, starting my animal loving journey. I had such a great time that I went into farm animals, and eventually got my own cats! I don’t discriminate from dogs, cats, pigs, cows, fish, or anything else. I am an organized care taker, being able to maintain strict medical care schedules and creating fun enrichment. I have a flexible schedule, with early mornings, afternoons, and evenings available. Weekends are on the table too! I will be starting my masters in August, so then my schedule will be a bit more 9-5, still leaving large availability for your fur baby. I can do any care tasks or rituals that make your pet feel most comfortable while you’re busy. Whether it be a certain walk route, a favorite toy or game, a cool release word, or some simple lounge time, I can meet the need!

“Taylor was wonderful with Louise. She came everyday, kept his bowl filled and spent time with him. Was very pleased with her service and she sent a bunch of photos. Thanks Taylor!!”

“We literally could not be happier with the care we got from Vanessa. This was our first extended time away since adopting Finn where a friend or relative (usually his grandma) was not available to cat-sit so we were pretty nervous how all of this would work. Finn is extremely nervous with new people and even with ones he’s met a few times. But Finn absolutely loved Vanessa as her photos and videos easily showed. Within her first visit, she had photos of him rolling over to show his belly - the ultimate sign that he was so comfortable with her. We really appreciated Vanessa’s communication with us during the entire process. There is a 100% chance we will hire her again. Anyone who’s nervous about leaving their separation-anxiety cat alone for a few days should really be confident Vanessa is going to go a long way in making you comfortable.”

“Brenda took great care of my recently adopted feline, Atticus, when I was suddenly called out of town. I found her punctuality and dependability assuring, and her approach to providing care to a skittish kitty in alignment with mine; when I arrived home, Atticus was in great shape, physically and emotionally. Absolutely recommend her with enthusiasm.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—growing up in a home full of fish, birds, cats, dogs, and rodents taught me early on that pets are family. I truly believe every animal deserves love, patience, and attentive care. Today, I share my home with my friendly dog Birdie, who loves meeting new furry friends and makes a great playmate. My two kids are also passionate animal lovers, and together we create a safe, warm, and pet-friendly environment. I’m experienced in administering medications, whether pills, drops, or topical treatments, and I’m happy to support pets with special needs. I also offer daily walks for exercise and enrichment, and I’m comfortable with crate training if it’s part of your routine. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or relaxed, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own. I work full-time during the week, but on my weekends off, I love spending my time caring for animals. Pet care has always been a part of my life, and I’m excited to offer reliable, loving support to fellow pet parents when I’m available. Whether it’s weekend drop-ins, walks, or cuddles while you’re away, I’m here to help give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is fully pet-friendly and thoughtfully pet-proofed to ensure a secure environment. I use baby gates to create designated pet areas, so dogs can have their own space or be kept out of certain rooms when needed. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard—perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Fresh water is always available in multiple areas of the home to keep pets hydrated throughout the day. Whether your pet loves to run or relax, they’ll have a secure, comfortable, and caring space to enjoy.

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all different species since I was 11 years old. Since I was young, I’ve always owned and taken care of pets whether it was dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles or horses! I’ve always had a strong passion for animals, and I’m currently exploring a future career in veterinary medicine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I’m committed to giving every pet the same patience, attention, and care I would want for my own. I work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule with availability during the week and on weekends to spend time caring for your fur babies! My first priority is always your pet’s safety, as well as their comfort and happiness. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including feeding, medications, playtime, walks, crate time, and any other care they may need. During house sitting, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention and companionship while treating your home with respect and care. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment while you’re away!
