“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!”

“McKenna was amazing with our fur babies. She was patient with my skittish cat and my very energetic pooch. I’m glad they were both so friendly with her, my pets avoid most if not all people so she had the right energy for my very skeptical kids. If you want your fur babies to feel safe and welcomed she’s the person to pick. She follows your notes perfectly if you leave any for her! I hope to book her again seeing as my pets were so warm to her.”

“Another wonderful weekend away knowing my fur baby is so loved and cared for. Thank you Ning! As usual, thank you for sending all the photo updates. It’s so reassuring knowing he is having fun.”

“Courtney did a great job of keeping our fur babies company and set our minds at ease during our trip to Italy. We looked forward to the pictures and notes every day. We look forward to using her services again when we are away camping this summer. We highly recommend Courtney!!!!!”

“Shatoria was so great with my cats. She is very responsive and a great listener. I had a lot of changes in care instructions, and she handled everything patiently and without any issues. She kept me updated, followed all the details carefully, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I could tell my cats were well cared for and comfortable with her. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”

“Samantha has been so wonderful with my Australian Shepard. She gives amazing updates and always sends multiple picture updates! She is a great and compassionate sitter, Jonee and I appreciate her!”

“Emily was so wonderful and kind while checking in on our two cats while we were out of town. She was a fabulous communicator and listened to all of the instructions we left her. We would highly recommend Emily to all pet parents! :)”

“Rosalina was absolutely amazing with my cats while I was away—I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the start, she was super communicative, reliable, and flexible. I have two cats in my “zoo” and she took such great care of them! She made sure they were fed, happy, and stuck to their routine. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. She also kept me updated while I was gone, which I really appreciated. Being away is always a little stressful, but knowing they were in such good hands made it that much easier! Rosalina also went above and beyond by helping with my snake’s bioactive enclosure and keeping up with watering to maintain the environment, which I really appreciated. I came home to two very happy, well-loved cats, a thriving bioactive enclosure, and everything was exactly how I left it. Truly the best feeling! I would 100% book with Rosalina again! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and just overall wonderful with animals. Anubis and Neffy definitely approve 🐾”

About: Finishing up my Navy career as a Military Working Dog Handler. I did this for 5 years and loved training the dogs. I currently work from home which allows me more time for taking care of your pets! I have experience with all types of dogs along with emergency care training and basic medical needs. Any questions or special requests don’t hesitate to ask! I currently work from home so my schedule has become quite flexible. I am available most days and times. If you ever need to make changes I am almost always able to accommodate. If I leave I do crate our dog at home. We do have a fenced front and back yard. The back yard has a taller fence than the front yard. On nice days I like to sit outside with the dog(s) while they run around and enjoy some sun.
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!
