About: I have done petsitting (cats and dogs) for over 15 years. Usually for animals where I personally know the owners and have spent time with the animal to create a bond/relationship. I want to full disclose with new perspective pets parents: I have a full time, in-office job with the standard business hours, Monday through Friday. If that's not what you are looking for in a house sitter, I understand. If I had a pet of my own, I would ensure all their needs are met. As a petsitter, I would to ensure their animal's life doesn't change or I could make it better in some small way especially since their parent(s) is gone I stay at the animal's home to care for them so their life isn't different than what it usually is for them. Changing their environment can be quite shocking and stressful to them. I try not change their lifestyle too much while the parent is gone

About: I am a Pre-Veterinary Medicine and bioscience student with about 1 year of experience handling animals. I currently work at a local dog daycare and boarding facility where I specialize in canine body language/behavior management and special needs care. Additionally I completed a 5th month mentorship of clinical veterinary experience where I saw medical routines and gained experience in patient handling in higher stress environments Because I balance college courses and a part-time job, my weekly routine is very consistent and easy to plan around for your pups! On Mondays and Wednesdays, I am completely free anytime after 11:30 AM for walks and midday drop-ins. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I am always available after 6:00 PM, and I have a dedicated midday break perfect for quick potty runs or administering medications. I am widely available for weekday overnight house sitting, and I frequently open up my weekends as well! I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep your pet’s environment as stress free as possible. I will follow your established schedule of feeding, walking, and bedtime to maintain your pet’s sense of normalcy even with the change environment. I will monitor their behavior and health and be sure to keep you updated with frequent pictures so both you and your pet feel as comfortable as possible. I will also provide plenty of playtime, companionship, and of course couch cuddles! I will additionally make sure your home is kept clean, secure, and exactly as you left it.

“Great dog walker!”

“We've only had Taryn walking our golden retriever, Stark, for a couple of weeks, but it's already one of the best decisions we've made. It's been a huge relief knowing our dog is in great hands when we leave for work. Taryn is on time, great at communicating, and even goes above and beyond to do things such as bring in trash bins, Amazon packages etc. I highly recommend Taryn for any of your pet's needs.”

“Booked Lacey for my mom and this is her review: I didn’t know what to expect with Roger and Lacey, but my husband was gone and I needed help. The moment she saw Buddy, she immediately made a great connection”

Michelle M.

“Our Great Dane loves Ben. He has had great communication with us during all of his walks and has made sure that Bruno has “done his business” in the mornings. He is our favorite walker”

About: I have cared for pets of all ages and types for many years, as well as been a pet owner and foster mom for many years. Dogs, cats, rabbits, hampsters, birds, chickens, fish, lizards etc. My family and friends have trusted me to care for, walk, feed, bathe, administer medications and give all the love and snuggles to their animal family members when they are away. I work part time and remote, so I have the flexibility to give all your pets the time, attention and love you need for them. I have a bit of a zoo at my house, so I am more than happy to care for your pets at your residence at this time.

About: Although I have not been a trainer, I have raised my own puppy, as well as been around dogs my whole life! I love nothing more than dogs and the joy they bring to peoples lives, I know times can get busy, but that’s what i’m here for! I have my own puppy at home, and i love spending time with him, but i also love spending time with other dogs:) i love going on walks, and to parks around the neighborhood! I will make sure your pet is actively cared for while I am with them, I will play with, and attend to their special needs!

“Thank you so much for walking the dogs while we were away! They look very happy!”

About: I have been an animal lover and owner my whole life. While I specialize in dogs and small furry friends such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters, I have watched cats and love them just as much. I pride myself on giving animals of all kinds the best care and affection they deserve. I have dogsat for friends, family, and the hardest part is saying goodbye during pickup/drop-off. In my psychology undergraduate program, I attended a canine behavior course and am very comfortable working with dogs who may need a little re-direction. While I cannot pet sit in my own home due to living with a free-roam rabbit, I am happy to drop by when needed for potty breaks, walks, play time, food and water, even for the quirkiest of pets. I am currently unemployed while looking for jobs, so my availability is very flexible depending on your pet care needs. My passion is with animals, after tending to our everything (Dr. Cheese, our rabbit), I have an open schedule and am happy to continue care for others' pets who need additional support due to travel, work, or any reason you are unavailable. While I unfortunately cannot watch pets in my own home due to our free-roam rabbit, I am very responsible, reliable, and would never let an animal go without the care they deserve.

About: Hi! I’m Madison, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for animals in both shelter and home settings. I volunteered with Shelter from the Storm Animal Rescue as a behavioral assessor, where I was trained to observe animal behavior, body language, temperament, and individual needs. I also helped write biographies for adoptable animals, which gave me even more experience getting to know animals as individuals and understanding their personalities and needs. My family also fostered animals, so I’m very comfortable working with anxious, shy, or nervous pets. I understand that some animals need extra patience and time to feel comfortable with a new person. I’m very in tune with animal behavior and pay close attention to body language, comfort levels, routines, and changes in behavior so I can help your pet feel safe and relaxed. I work a hybrid-remote job and am only in the office 1-2 days a week depending on workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care and to spend extra time with your pets that may need more human interaction and snuggles! I’m absolutely comfortable working with anxious, fearful, or timid animals and will give them the patience and space they need to feel comfortable. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and in good hands while you’re away! I work a hybrid-remote job and am only in the office 1-2 days a week depending on workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care and to spend extra time with your pets that may need more human interaction and snuggles! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. My background as a trained animal behavioral assessor helps me recognize signs of stress, fear, discomfort, or overstimulation and adjust my approach accordingly. I’m especially comfortable with shy or anxious animals and will never force interaction before they are ready. I prioritize safe handling, secure doors and gates, and making sure pets cannot accidentally escape. I also respect your home by keeping things clean, following your instructions, and making sure everything is as you left it when I leave. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

“We have booked Lindsey quite a few times now and we are so grateful for her! She is a huge help and our dog loves loves her. He is always so happy and does his tip taps when he sees her. I love knowing my dog is excited to play and hang out with her! She’s very reliable and I love the detailed rover cards and lots of pics!”

“Patrycja was a fantastic and professional caretaker for our dog Theo. Patrycja went above and beyond our expectations to give Theo great care and exercise, and did so consistently until we moved to a neighborhood.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 5 years old. I grew up in the country in Texas and at one point we had around 20 cats and 9 dogs. We took care of the strays that made their way onto our property, and sometimes adopted from shelters and random people. I was taught love and compassion for animals since I was a young child. I continue to embrace the kindness I have in my heart for animals everyday. I’m usually available most of the time, as I don’t have any full time work to tend to. I also do not celebrate holidays which can benefit pet owners very much because they can count on me being available as long as I have not already booked with someone else. I would be wonderful to your pup insuring they get enough potty breaks, walks if you would like, maybe the dog park upon your approval, and even car rides if you’d like! I offer complimentary treats.. I keep some in my home. And of course I would get them approved by my client first. For cats in my clients home, I would do the same things. I would also insure the cat box is clean, and lots of play time if that’s what the kitty likes :-)

“Jimmy is amazing with Alton. He has a clear love for dogs and passion for doing what is needed to care for them. I’m always impressed at seeing the maps of the nice walks they take. Which I’m sure Alton very much appreciates when he’s pouty that I’m away. Jimmy is also very easy to communicate with and always responsive. 10/10 recommend.”

“Hannah was communicative, flexible, and kind! We appreciated her responsiveness, the cute lil photo of our pup, and how easy she was to work with!”

About: I grew up with dogs, ranging from Newfoundland’s to French bulldogs so it is safe to say I have experience with all sizes of dogs. You can trust me to not only keep your dog safe, but to keep them happy and healthy. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. Would love to spend more time with animals, and can make most things work with my schedule. I am looking forward to helping keep your pet active and well cared for! I am located in the Atwood neighborhood, north east madison. I’m available for dog walking, pet check ins, and in home pet sitting if you’re away for a trip or work. Your pet will be safe and cared for with me. I prefer to care for the pets in your home as I currently am in a rental that does not allow pets. Also this will keep your pet most comfortable / in their routine.
