About: Hello! My name is Audrey, and I'm 29 years old. I've spent over five years working at a doggy daycare, a passion that began long before I was officially hired. My parents opened this daycare in the mid 2000s, so I was fortunate enough to be able to come around and help out, or just spend time with the dogs throughout my teen years. From this I was able to gain invaluable hands-on experience with a variety of dogs. My lifelong experience with both dogs and cats ensures that I can provide top-notch care for your furry friends. During my time at the daycare, I encountered dogs of all energy levels, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. From puppies to senior dogs, and from calm to highly anxious pets. I'm skilled in administering medication, feeding, and monitoring for any unusual behavior. Having cared for hundreds of pets, each with their unique personalities and needs, I am dedicated to meeting and exceeding your expectations. I look forward to meeting and caring for more wonderful pets! I am currently working remotely which allows me the the flexibility to go wherever needed as well as be home with the animals for a majority of the day. This means I am able to give potty breaks or food/medication any time of day. However, some week days I play sports in the afternoons. This would only be for an hour or 2 at most, generally between 6-9. I feel very confident in my ability to make sure your pets are safe during my visits! Working with dogs for many years, I have a good sense of what to watch for and how to make sure your animals are happy and healthy. I am constantly aware of mine and your animals surroundings when I am doing a job and I try to be very cautious and attentive in order to make sure they don't get hurt, escape, etc.

“Toni was fantastic. Bailey is tired from her stay with Toni & we can tell how well cared for she was. We will definitely ask Toni to watch Bailey again”

“Beth and her family were wonderful and cared so well for my older husky mix Zelda! Z settled in well & they were very accommodating for all of her needs. The teenage boys gave her lots of attention. Zelda was very comfortable there. Great communication, sweet people, and easy folks to talk to. Will definitely book again!”

Yasi M.

About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your fur babies. I currently have my sweet girl Nova at home and am comfortable with pets of different temperaments and needs. I strive to create a safe, stress free experience while keeping owners updated with lots of photos and messages. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just a consistent routine, I’ll make sure they receive attentive care. I’m currently a SAHM with a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the day. Your pets are treated like family! I have 1 cat in my home currently that is okay with dogs that visit. I maintain a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment and carefully supervise interactions at all times.

“This was my first time using Rover and Lindsey did an excellent job of making me feel comfortable with leaving Thelma Lou in her care. From the photos she sent, to seeing Thelma Lou when I picked her up, I know my dog had a wonderful time and was treated well. I highly recommend Lindsey to anyone.”

“Julie was SO patient with our nervous pooch! He can get anxious with new places & after a rough vet visit he was on edge a little extra, but Julie stayed calm & sweet & didn’t count our dog out because of his anxiousness. She sent us pictures throughout the day to keep this mama from worrying & by time we picked our dog up, he was feeling comfortable & showing off his tug-a-war skills with his new pack of friends!! Julie, thank you for being so patient & loving on Sergey!! We can’t wait for his next visit!!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I recently lost my 2-year-old pup unexpectedly, and while I'm figuring out the right time to welcome another dog into my family, I'd love the opportunity to care for yours like my own. I've cared for many family and friends' dogs & cats, including overnight stays, with experience ranging from tiny 3 lb pups to 80 lb dogs. I also occasionally help care for my roommate's sister's three Great Danes, so I'm very comfortable around larger breeds! I raised and trained my own pup from just 3 months old, teaching her all sorts of tricks — both useful and just-for-fun! I enjoy working with dogs, keeping them mentally stimulated, and finding fun ways to engage with them. I also work in the Emergency Department, so I'm comfortable staying calm under pressure, thinking on my feet, and handling unexpected situations. I'm responsible, attentive, patient, and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, extra attention, help reinforcing training, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being cared for just like one of my own! I typically work three 12-hour shifts per week, which leaves me with several days off to dedicate to pet care! When I'm not working, I love spending time outdoors walking, running, biking, and hiking. I enjoy bringing pets along for adventures when they're up for it, but I'm just as happy having a relaxing night in with a furry friend. I can easily adjust my routine to fit your pet's needs, whether that means getting outside for exercise and playtime, sticking to their usual feeding and walking schedule, or having a quiet day filled with cuddles and companionship. I genuinely enjoy having animals around and would love to make them part of my everyday routine! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority! I keep pet gates available throughout my home to help create safe spaces and separate areas when needed. On some weekends, there may also be a very friendly, laid-back mini schnauzer in the home, but I always prioritize making sure all pets are comfortable with one another and have their own space. I'm comfortable with the realities of pet ownership, including accidents, muddy paws, shedding, and the occasional mess! I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and am happy to clean up after pets as needed. I also understand the importance of following your instructions, maintaining familiar routines, keeping doors and gates secure, and being mindful of potential hazards. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own and do my best to keep your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I want you to feel confident that both your pet and your home are in good hands while you're away!

“Rachel was fantastic. Oakley was at home the second he met her. I would recommend her for anyone around the Madison area!”

Lane M.

“Mikaela was an excellent sitter for my dog while I was traveling. Her dog was a great companion and they had a lot of fun together. Great communication and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend!”

Abby B.

“Maggie and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Teddy! He stayed with them for almost a week, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Maggie kept us updated every day with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Teddy looked so happy and well cared for—we could tell he was having a great time away from home. Their dog, Nova, was also such a sweetheart, and she and Teddy had a great time playing together. We had zero worries while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend Maggie to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

Kiersten B.

“Laura welcomed our Barley into her home with open arms. She allowed us to come with Barley and check things out before having Barley stay with her. Shadow, Laura's massive golden retriever, is the friendliest pup around and gave Barley the opportunity to learn all the tricks around the house! :) We are so very lucky to have found Laura (and Shadow) and plan to have this be Barley's home away from home in the future!”

Tom M.

“Nick and his girlfriend Mara took great care of my dog. He was very responsive with communication, and my dog enjoyed her weekend staying at their house. Highly recommend using Nick!”

Angela S.

“Ruby spent a week with Ben and his Lotus and Budha. Ruby likes going to Ben's house because she has dogs to play wiith and a yard for running around. I fear she gets bored at home. Thanks again Ben, we will see you in the future!”
