About: Ever since I was a kid, my love for animals has been unstoppable! Over the years, my passion has only grown stronger, and I've been fortunate to care for both cats and dogs for a long time. Right now, I share my home with three amazing cats and three playful dogs, each with their own personality and quirks. On top of that, I love helping out my friends and neighbors by taking care of their furry companions when they’re away. Whether it's feeding, walking, or just giving them some love, I truly enjoy every moment spent with animals. Living in Columbus, working in Verona, WI, and everywhere in between, I’m always ready to provide the best care for any pet that comes my! I'm working full-time from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday to Friday, but before and after that, I'm free as a bird! With a 40-minute drive to and from work, I’m always on the move and happy to help out in Madison and surrounding communities too! I have a fenced-in yard and share my home with three dogs and three cats. If needed, I am available to stay at your home to provide dedicated care for your pets. My top priority is ensuring your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for, and I approach every interaction with patience, kindness and love.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was four years old. Our family cares for our dogs deeply, meaning they get lots of walks and lots of love! My family and I recently just lost our fifteen year old dog Lucky due to old age, and that was hard for me. Through Lucky’s last years we gave him insulin twice a day, meaning I am very experienced in giving medicine to dogs. Im currently in school, so I usually walk my dog when I get home from school, and feed him dinner. On the weekends we take him for lots of hikes. School gets out in June, and I will be completely available after that, but currently I could only help on weekends and after 4pm on weekdays. I have a fenced yard with a five year old medium sized dog named Ferris, who just lost our older dog Lucky, and is missing his best friend, meaning he would love a playmate! Ferris gets lots of walks (three) everyday, and we feed him twice a day. We also have a crate if needed. We have multiple dog beds and food and water bowls for extra company!

McKenna was AMAZING with our three picky/skiddish cats. She’s very patient, sweet and loving. After our first meet and greet I instantly felt at ease and knew they were in perfect hands. We honestly couldn’t have found a more perfect sitter for our kitties and will definitely be contacting McKenna whenever we need a sitter! Thank you McKenna!

About: Hey everyone I’m Emma! I grew up on a farm and have worked with so many different animals species. I love working with dogs and can do lots of different training exercises with your dogs. I have worked with both large and small dogs, and dogs of all ages. I used to foster dogs, and train them up for their forever homes! I work on my family farm currently from 8am-4pm M-F. But am able to stop by around noon during my lunch break if your pet requires an extra let out and I work about 2 minutes away from my house as well. I live out on a farm, so there is a large yard for you pets to run around. I have a kennel for smaller dogs and a puppy play pen already from fostering as well as basic food dishes, toys, treats, etc.

About: I have experience with reactive dogs, including my own, and I also walk dogs at the humane society. I’m a runner who loves providing physical exercise, and I’m big on mental enrichment to help dogs feel calm and fulfilled. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and individual needs are always my top priority. I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible. I walk my dog every day on lunch. Working from home allows me to come to your house and spend the day with your animals so they aren't alone. I do mental enrichment with my dog through the day as well! I love sending photos and updates to my clients throughout their trip. I make sure to pay attention to the animals needs making sure they always have clean water and food when needed. I provided daily walks, and mental enrichment and plenty of snuggles if the pup or cat allows!

About: I’ve been a pet sitter for three years and have no problem following special instructions. I have watched dogs, cats, and guinea pigs most often. I have even worked with bred lab dogs and puppies helping to clean and exercise them. I am definitely an animal person! I will be working a job part time, but I am willing to spend as much time as needed with the animals I look after. I have an easy time building trust with the animals and will care for them in your home as you would. I will follow any instructions given to ensure your pets routines are disrupted as little as possible.

I can’t say enough good things about Hailey. She is consistently reliable, incredibly kind, and genuinely invested in the well being of my two dogs. They absolutely love her! She’s great with communication, pays attention to the little details, and always makes sure the girls get the care, exercise and affection they need. It’s such a relief to have someone you can trust completely- Hailey is that person. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!

About: I have been a dog momma and lover for years. They are my world and I am theirs. Yours will be taken care of at the same level I care for my own! I am sincerely drawn to dogs when I see them. They've got so much love and joy to offer this world, how could you not? I have 3 labs currently and have trained all of my dogs from babies on up. We have almost always maintained a 3 dog household, they get walks everyday so long as the weather permits and plenty of playtime. Rest assured, your pup will be taken care of in the same respect and manner as I care for my own. I work from home so can make time for lunch time appointments if close enough to my home, I work until 5 so can be available in the evenings until 9pm, except for Wednesdays I have volleyball either at 6:30 or 7:30, but can still make appointments work in there. Also around most weekends except for family events here and there and two vacations we take a year. :) I protect them with my life. I love my babies so deeply and am so thankful I work from home so I get to be with them everyday. Yours will be treated no different. Dogs have so much love and joy to offer the world and they only deserve the same in return.
