About: I’m all of my friends and families first choice to watch their pets when they are out of town. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds of dogs and many cats as well. I’ve always had dogs in my life growing up so I’m very familiar with reading their body language and knowing how to care for them. I work full time but have a lot of flexibility to check on your pet throughout the day and have the opportunity to work remote as well I’ve never a met a pet that didn’t like me. I’m very good at reading dogs body langue and knowing what they need. Cats also like me and I’m good at reading their body language as well

About: I have 2 large rescues that have been a part of my family for the last 9 years. When I lived in apartments, I helped watch other neighbors' dogs and always enjoyed getting to know them and learn about their routines, hobbies, and quirks. While my family never had a dog growing up, I love being around them now and could never go back to a life without them! Since I work part time at a local farm, and am only just getting my own farm up and running, I have a relatively flexible schedule from week to week, especially during the winter, early spring, and late fall. I am thorough when it comes to taking care of my dogs' health and safety, as well as the health and safety of all pets that are in my care. I am always vigilant about traffic while walking dogs near any roads, and am always careful of walking them near other animals. When in another's home I am respectful of boundaries and rules and always clean up after myself or any messes that a pet may make.

“Shelly is AMAZING!! So attentive, great communication, thorough follow through, and just all around wonderful! We completely recommend Shelly for anyone wanting help with their fur babies! So comforting to be reassured there are still great people in the world, and Shelly truly is one of the great ones!”

About: Hi, I’m Ruby! I'm a Humane Society volunteer and I’ve been house sitting and taking care of animals for about six years. I’m a college student planning to study animal behavior and marine biology, and I’m using this opportunity to get more hands on experience with animals while saving up for school. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, chickens, goats, horses, birds, fish, and more, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and care needs. I take pet care seriously and always do my best to follow routines and make animals feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. If you’re looking for someone responsible, experienced, and passionate about animals, I’d be happy to help! I’m currently a college student and in the fall and spring have classes 4 days a week (Mon-Thurs) in the mornings and in the afternoons. I am very flexible other than that! I am here to assist following the usual routines of the animals in my care and to ensure that they are safe, healthy, and happy.

About: As a 19-year-old sitter, I offer compassionate senior pet care and puppy training experience, ensuring patience, energy, and dedication to keep your pets happy and healthy. Pet care is a joyful part of my daily routine, giving me purpose, structure, and happiness. I love making time for walks, play, and cuddles! I care for pets by following their feeding and exercise routines, providing fresh water, administering medication if needed, offering lots of love, and keeping their environment clean and safe.

“Baylee was awesome with my puppy dog, and my dog adored her. Very reliable, great communication, and she really did have my dog’s safety in mind while providing a fun and energetic walk. Highly recommended — will hire her again!”

About: I always had a dog. The house isn’t a home if you don’t have a dog. Family brings there dog over. Every one gets along I’m working part time . Will have time to play and walk your dog. I care for dogs. I have a dog name Louie. We’re always outside I have a big fenced in yard . I have a dog so my house is dog proof. I have a one story house on a quiet street.

About: I love dogs. My family has had dogs since I was a young kid. I also have experience as a dog sitter/walker for previous bosses. I'm a recent graduate of UW-Madison. Flexible schedule for at least the next three months. I am working another part time job with flexible hours. I would prefer notice for sitting bookings. I have experience with basic dog training, and have an authoritative manor when working with dogs, as well as really enjoying and having fun with dogs. I bike as my main transportation so I am very mobile in the summer/warm weather months. Ideally I'd like to have a regular walking/sitting schedule, but I'm happy to do overnights/dog sitting while owners are on vacation or need occasional help with their dog. I’m currently in between jobs! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule currently to add both daytime and overnight pet care needs. My schedule will continue to be flexible through summer 2026. I have a number of beautiful dog friendly trail locations that I like to take dogs for longer walks. Otherwise if you’re looking for a short walk I’m happy to take your pup around the block! Please let me know about any household rules or needs, and I’ll be sure to respect the household culture that I step into.

About: What sets me apart is my dependable, loving care. I treat every dog like family, giving patient attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of love. I work mornings in retail, finish later in the afternoon so I am free later in the day. I enjoy being active, but always plan my schedule around pets to ensure consistent, loving care. I adapt to each pets needs. I grew up with cats and dogs, and provide walks, cuddles, space if needed, plus updates, photos, and lots of love, care, and attention.

“Lindsay is amazing!! She was able to come over and take my golden retriever for a walk and to the dog park. She also has a dog who was able to join in on the fun, which is always great for my dog who loves to play! She’s super kind and easy to work with. I definitely recommend her, and will be booking her again in the future!”

About: I am a huge dog lover. I love all kinds of dogs and have grown up with all different kinds of dogs of varying size and temperment. My family has had 2 havanese dogs and 2 newfoundlands so I have experience with a variety of sizes. Recently, I lost my soul dog, Max. Max was a shepherd mix and was my whole world. My husband and I had Max since he was a puppy and are looking to get our dog fix by helping out others. We understand the stress finding care for your dog can create, and we would love to help provide a safe and fun environment for your dog when you need it. We have a large yard (unfenced) and safe neighborhood for walks. We also have 2 children, aged 5 and 3. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available most of the time from home any given week. I have 2 children, aged 5 and 3, and they would love to help care for and love on a doggy. I have a large, unfenced yard in a quiet, safe, and dog friendly neighborhood. Our dog Max was always free to run around the yard without any issues. Dogs are allowed inside, on our furniture and I still have Max’s dog bed for use as well. I am also happy to pop in by your house to walk your dog if that’s needed.

About: I love caring for animals! I have always been asked to care for pets when my loved ones, friends, coworkers, or neighbors are away. I make homemade dog treats with my dogs and I’m sure they will share! I have cared for all ages of dogs, all needs of dogs. If your dog is friendly, and you would be interested in letting them play with my dog Ozzie to wear out some energy, that is an option as long as they can meet first! Nothing beats a middle of the day play date! I can be flexible in my schedule but sometimes it changes fast, I promise to keep my schedule as up to date as I can. When I am not caring for pets, I work full time as an RN. Please note all my rates are negotiable. I do work 12-13hr shifts full time as a RN. With that, I promise to be upfront and honest about my hours so we can figure out additional care if needed. My schedule varies every week so I often have free time during the week. I work every 3rd weekend. I can come by and spend time with your pets, I can take them for walks, make homemade treats with them, or just give them belly rubs and ear scratches! Let me know what you need so we can work it out.

About: I've always had pet dogs and cats since childhood. At this time my husband and I are unable to have a pet of our own, but I frequently house sit and watch pets for friends and family. I work as a school counselor, so I have plenty of availability during the summer to care for your fur-buddies! I am energetic and enjoy playing with excited animal friends, and I also hold firm boundaries and can support your training. I work at a school, so I have plenty of time over the summer to love and care for your pets! I teach summer school from eight to noon a few weeks over the summer, and I also teach occasional yoga classes, but besides those commitments, my time belongs to the fur-babies! I am very energetic and happy to go for long walks or play with dogs to tire them out! I am also clean and detail-oriented so I will take good care of your home if you are away. During the school year I work as a school counselor so I value service to others, honesty, integrity, and sharing joy and kindness.
