About: I have over 30 years experience training dogs. I am able to dog sit from my home full time. I recently moved to a large property in the country, that is a short 35 minute drive from Madisons west side. I have a acer that is completely fenced in and I am more than happy to offer pick up and drop off to the west side of Madison. I'm professional trained as a dog groomer, worked professionally for over 6 years as a groomer, dog trainer and doggie daycare provider. I have also worked as a vet assistant for 2 years in Denver Colorado. I am certified in humane and dog CPR and I graduated with an EMS degree for humans, this training helps me respond to variety of situations with confidence. I was a volunteer at two different Humane Society's for over 12 years. I have fostered, rehabilitated and Rehoused 15 dogs most with serious behavioral issues. I am an avid dog lover and enjoy spending time with my dogs and other people's dogs. I can stay home full time now. I also have a full acer that is fenced and I have walking trails in the country and I still frequently go to the dog park and I am never gone more than 1-2 hours. Rover is away for me to stay home with my dogs and hopefully your dogs. My dogs LOVE having dog friends visit our pack and home.-I am a firm believer in the saying "A tired dog is a good dog".- I have been dog sitting full time for the past year and I enjoy being home all day long. I recently moved and have an acer of fenced land and I am happy to offer pick up and drop off of your pet or we can meet closer to your house. I am only about 30 mins south of Madison. I have a huge fenced yard with extra gates and separate fenced areas to do introductions safely. Dogs are NEVER left unsupervised outside. Your dog’s safety and mine dogs safety is my top priority!

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a little girl. I grew up in a house who always had some type of animal and learned how to love on them and give them the attention they need. I am currently at home and have a lot of time on my hands. I’m very flexible and cooperative with my schedule and willing to give any animal love and support. I have an invisible fence for my two dogs. One of my dogs has a crate he sleeps in and the other sleeps in whatever bed she wants that night.

About: My whole life I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, having 3 different dogs and 10 cats over the years. I’ve been one of the main caretakers in my family of our pets. Walking, feeding, bathing, and cutting nails are examples of some of the things I’ve grown up doing for our pets. I worked in a veterinary clinic for the past year and I will be a first year student in veterinary school starting this fall. I’m entirely free this summer until classes start! Once the fall hits and I start veterinary school my availability will become more limited but as of now I’m super free. I use extreme care for any animals I’m taking care of and I’m a very attentive person to their needs and what they want and enjoy. I have a lot of experience with taking care of dogs and cats from growing up with pets, volunteering, and working in veterinary clinic. I’ve gained a lot of knowledge on how to properly care for your pet whether that be in a home or on a walk. I have a huge passion for animals and always pour so much love into any pet that is around me and under my care.

My dogs Jojo and Jagger are very energetic, and Indy is my tortie and the love of my life :) I am always available to talk and will respond quickly to messages! I am available weekends and weekdays, daily hours depending on my class schedule and your availability. I love to engage with pets and learn their body language, I will always have a ball or stick while walking your dog, but also understand when they need a break. My priority is making them feel as at home as possible, while earning experience in the field I love. I have patience for both cats and dogs, and will watch carefully to not over pet, play, or initiate with shy animals. Tell me more about your pet to help me help them be as comfortable as they can be!

About: Former member of UNC-Chapel Hill Puppy Raisers, a student-led organization that works with puppies in partnership with Ears Eyes Nose and Paws of Chapel Hill on their journey to becoming service animals. I’m currently working part time, so very flexible with the times and days that I am available to help out with your cats or dogs! I have no pets currently so full attention will be devoted to your animal! I have grown up with dogs my entire life and feel comfortable handling all sizes and breeds.

About: Caring for dogs isn't just something I do. It's something I'm genuinely passionate about. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, from young puppies learning routines to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to get to know each pet's unique needs. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, crate training, basic puppy training, leash walking, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I'm also attentive to changes in behavior or health and believe it's important to catch anything unusual early and communicate it with owners right away. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I make it my priority to provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they feel comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Communication is very important to me. I'll provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to care for every pet as if they were my own and give owners complete peace of mind. Pet care is already a major part of my daily routine. My day is structured around caring for dogs, so adding walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or boarding fits naturally into my schedule. Because I'm already following consistent routines for feeding, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and cleaning, I'm able to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Whether your pet needs a consistent routine, extra exercise, medication, or simply companionship, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I make sure every pet is in a clean, secure, and calm environment where they can feel relaxed and stress-free. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to behavior and overall well-being so I can quickly notice if something seems off and communicate right away. In my care, pets are never left unattended for long periods. I supervise interactions, provide structured playtime, and ensure a safe environment at all times—especially when introducing pets to new surroundings or other animals. I also respect the client’s home fully when providing in-home care, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I understand how important trust is when someone allows you to care for their pet or enter their home, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable, while giving owners complete peace of mind through clear communication and reliable care.

About: When I was in college I worked as a professional pet sitter for a reputable company in the Tampa Bay area. I’ve also volunteered at multiple pet shelters which provided me experience working with more difficultly behaved dogs. I’ve had dogs all my life and love getting the opportunity to take care of them. I have time between my masters classes, the weekend, and after the traditional work week. I also don’t have in person class Monday or Friday which gives me lots of opportunity on those days. I try to be gentle, yet playful with all pets I interact with them. On top of fulfilling their basic needs-food, water, medication, etc-I want the pet to enjoy our visit and burn so energy.

“Shatoria was absolutely awesome! She stopped in to check on my cat Olivine while my roommate and I were away for the weekend. During our initial visit, Shatoria asked a ton of questions about Olivine and her routine, some that I hadn’t even thought to bring up, which was great. During the actual visit, she passed along lots of photos of Olivine with her update. She also took a photo of her automatic feeder so I could see how Olivine had been eating, which I appreciated. I had never hired a pet sitter before, so that came with some anxiety, but Shatoria made me confident that I was leaving Olivine in great hands! I definitely know who to come to if we ever need any more help with Olivine in the future.”

About: Nice to meet you! My name is Amanda, and I have over 16 years of experience caring for animals. I completed Veterinary Assistant coursework at Madison College and have worked in dog daycare, pet care, and grooming environments. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, anxious pets, and dogs with behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. I also enjoy sending photos and updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. I work full-time caring for animals and am available for pet care before and after work, on weekends, and on many holidays. Pet sitting has been a part of my life for over 16 years, and I enjoy spending my free time caring for pets and helping owners feel comfortable while they are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I’m experienced with both cats and dogs, house sitting and plant sitting if needed. I have a senior cat myself and two other younger cats but I also grew up around dogs and love to dog sit and take dogs on walks when the weather permits. My schedule is usually very flexible. I’m a full time student and I’m working part time from home in the Miami area. As long as I have a solid Wi-Fi or data connection for a hotspot I’m good to go. If there isn’t already explicit instructions my usual schedule would be to walk the dogs every 2-4 hours (puppies more than that till their potty trained) and feed the animals as instructed. Cats and dogs both need their daily playtime as well. I’m willing to spend the night if you’d prefer or just come and spend the workday with them 12+ hours a day.

About: I’ve worked with dogs since I was nine years old, caring for family pets as well as animals I found outside who needed help. Whether they had homes or not, I treated every animal like my own, providing consistent love and care. I have nearly eight years of hands-on experience bathing, feeding, walking, clipping nails, managing potty routines, playtime, and plenty of snuggles and cuddles. I have a very flexible schedule and am available most of the time, with the exception of Thursdays. I’m free early in the mornings through late at night, and I’m also open to overnight care if needed. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends. I live in an apartment and have an unfenced yard, but that will never limit playtime, exercise, or fun. We’ll still enjoy plenty of outdoor time and daily adventures on walks. For safety, your dog will always be kept on a leash while outside

About: I have raised and trained dogs (cats, bunnies, & livestock) since a very young age. I am very active and love to run and play with critters. But I also love to chill and snuggle. I have farm experience, and spent some time working with dog breeders, groomers, and in animal healthcare. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a child. I have dealt with special needs, injuries, administering medication, and holistic health remedies. I understand that dogs require a considerable amount of attention and exercise, and I am up for the challenge. I am a professional business owner and I take my responsibilities to you and your pets very seriously. I am a small business owner so I get to make my own schedule. It allows me to break up the work day and pop in on pups. Every dog loves a mid day walk in the park! We have a fenced in yard and we take daily walks around the neighborhood. Our dogs are the biggest divas and have ALLLLLL the toys and treats and chews that a pup could dream of. (And backyard games of fetch to run off all those extra snacks)

“She was sooo amazing!! Could not have asked for a better sitter and peace of mind. Updates and pics and communication was great. Will definitely be using her again if she's willing and available.”
