“Alison is soo loving, sweet and compassionate with my Lotus. I appreciate how patient, gentle and reliable she is. She communicates super well and tell me how their entire walks go. She makes me feel at ease knowing that he's in good care with her. She took the time to learn him to ensure their walks go well and that is a plus being that my baby has quite a few rules lol. Im so happy to have come across her.”

About: I worked at a vet for two years and have had experience with boarding pets there, I’ve pet sat for many friends and family in their homes, and I worked with dogs on a daily basis at my former job as a dog bather. I have three dogs and a cat of my own and have many years of experience with cats since we owned several kitties back home. I’ve worked with dogs of all age, breed, and size so I am familiar with many different situations and quirks of the different breeds. My schedule is flexible! While I work full-time Monday through Friday, I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend care, and I can often adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Feel free to reach out, I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet! I will spend as much time as needed with your fur babies and will make sure all of your requests and expectations are met! I am trustworthy and understand that your pets are part of your family so they will be taken care of like they were my own. I will make sure your pets have an enjoyable time while their parents are away!

About: What truly sets me apart is my commitment to communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and detailed notes after each visit or walk, so you always feel connected to your pet. My background also includes volunteer work at a local animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience handling dogs with special needs and anxiety. You can count on me to treat your pet and home with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own. Reliability, compassion, and peace of mind—that’s what I bring to every visit. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize creating a consistent and safe environment for every pet in my care, whether that means early morning walks, timely feedings, or engaging play sessions throughout the day. I incorporate time each day to monitor health, behavior, and comfort, ensuring pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away. On a weekly basis, I plan for special outings, grooming (if needed), and ongoing communication with pet owners to provide updates and maintain trust. Caring for animals is more than a job—it’s a responsibility I take seriously, and I structure my schedule to reflect that commitment. I have a fenced in privacy fence back yard! As well as a temperature controlled garage if needed to separate! I have an extra crate if needed as well!

About: I bring extensive experience from working at both an animal boarding facility and a veterinary clinic, with knowledge of many different species. I can help with everything from starting potty training to ensuring your pets get the best care possible. I work full-time at a veterinary clinic that also specializes in boarding. Before becoming a vet technician, I spent two years as a full-time animal caregiver. I truly respect your wishes and always put your pet’s safety first. I’ve cared for pets in their own homes, making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and safe no matter who they are with.

“Our dog Sandra very much enjoyed her walks with Alex!”

About: I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from owning my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. My husband works nights and I work days so there is always someone home to make sure your fur baby is taken care of and loved on! Our residence features ample space in the garage, and a spacious fenced-in backyard. As pet owners ourselves, with two golden doodles and a cat, we understand the stress associated with leaving them behind. Consequently, we would provide a nurturing environment, treating boarded pets like our own, with generous playtime outside of their kennels and the attention and affection they are accustomed to receiving at home. ❤️

About: I am a 30 year old female who loves all animals. I have grown up with animals all my life and have owned many of my own pets. I very much like spending time walking around or just sitting and gaming and cuddling with my pets. I am able to train puppies as i have owned a 3 time grand champion vizsla, though I am no professional I was just taught so i could show my dog. I enjoy spending time in the woods and or in the ocean just being about in the beauty of nature. I hope and pray to be able to meet your little or big angel because that is what a pet is an ANGEL and a beloved family member. please enjoy your day! it is my life. i do this for my job, but i do love all animals so i am more than happy to do this. im very patient and willing to just let them get to know me. i follow things to a tee that way your pet gets the care it needs

“Oh sweet Annalyse! I’m so grateful that she was so prompt in all of her communication with me as we worked out the best timing for her to walk Wylie. She was kind natured and accommodating and gave Wylie a great walk around our neighborhood. I’m excited to have found a backup plan when my schedule is to busy.”

About: Hi there! I'm Jennifer and I've spent years caring and loving animals. I absolutely love them to pieces! I've fostered dogs through a local organizations also. Including mothers and litters. Your furbaby will be very well taken care of and loved every second they are in my care. I took a break for a bit while moving and readjusting but I miss getting to meet all the amazing animals! I am available full time again! I live in Madison but am willing to travel a reasonable distance. I would consider it an honor and privilege to get to know you and your pup or kitty or any other animals more ❤️I love them ALL!! I’m available full time now and I am so excited to get back to pet sitting full time again and meet all the animals I can I can no longer do in my home since I’m in an apartment now but hopefully soon I’ll be able to start doing it again

“Kristen was very kind with me and Marley! She was punctual and took time and dedication to walk Marley because he was in training and I just had surgery. I will definitely use again and my furbaby was very comfortable with her.”

About: I’ve grown up in a house full of dogs and still spend a lot of time caring for them today, including German Shepherds, so I’m comfortable handling larger, high-energy breeds. My family jokes that I’m the “dog whisperer” because animals tend to warm up to me quickly. I’ve helped care for both my own dogs and others whenever needed, and I truly love being around animals. I’m currently an online college student, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give pets lots of attention and care. I’m currently doing online college, so my schedule is very flexible and gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and spending quality time with your pets to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I currently live in a spacious apartment with plenty of walking areas nearby for exercise and potty breaks. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and cared for in a calm and safe environment. I’ll follow any routines or instructions closely so your pet feels as at home as possible while you’re away. 🐾

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets for about 5 years now. From dogs to cats and hamsters. I’ve always been the designated pet sitter for my neighbors and family! I am currently a stay at home mom so I am available any days of the week, and can work around any time you prefer! Pets will all have a clean and calm environment as I have no pets at my house and just one baby. They will take frequent potty breaks and walks. Food and water will always be out and available to them. I will provide updates and pictures throughout the day!

“Natalie was great with Fancy! It was storming out so she improvised and went above and beyond for my pup!”

“Hope is reliable and awesome. We love and trust her with our pups!!”

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, and in the last five years, have raised three puppies into well-behaved, mature dogs, and cared for my two senior dogs until they passed. I personally trained my youngest dog and she is the best-behaved pup in public! I have experience with administering medication, grooming, training, feeding routines, and overall handling, especially dogs that are skittish or fearful. All of these skills helped me excel in both of my kennel assistant positions. I am patient and fully willing to provide care for senior or injured pets, as they hold a special place in my heart. I'm currently a full-time student at MSU, and will share my schedule when a booking request is made. I have gaps between my classes, and am generally done with school around 12 pm on T/TH and around 2-3pm on M/W/F. Again, I have gaps between classes so I am available at different times of day. I am fully free on the weekends! I have three dogs and two cats currently living at home, while I have my third car with me at college. My college car is also blind and one of my home dogs has a torn CCL, but they both are adored all the same. I wouldn't change it for the world! My dogs are on radio collars on occasion (generally when strays begin to appear), but more often than not, they are inside-outside dogs and are let out on average 4-6x a day. My own dog, Felix, has the torn CCL and gets leashwalked 4-6x a day as well. All of my cats are free-fed dry food, and my blind kitty gets fed a special dry food. My oldest cat (13 yrs) is also fed wet food as an additional food, 1-2x a day. Their litter box is cleaned weekly, as we do not scoop, but I do scoop my blind cat's litter box daily, as she is the only cat in the dorm and the box is suited specifically for her. In my clients home, I will follow any and all rules and regulations laid out of me. I love "excessive details" as they give me a better idea of how to properly care for the pets. I follow feeding times and amounts to a T, and double, triple, sometimes quadruple-checking amounts of everything, whether it be food, medications, or the amount of excrement I find. If anything looks off (behavior, excrement, appetite, etc.) the owner is immediately notified with a mentality of "what do you want me to do next?" My goal is to treat the pet as good as the owner does, in the time I am around them. On walks, I encourage proper walking skills (heeling, low reactivity), and try to help teach dogs as I do so. If allowed by the owner, I'd use low-calorie, high-reward treats with a clicker tool to help refine walking skills. This way the pet gets mental and physical stimulation, while being able to still be themself.

About: Will love and care for him/her like they’re my own! Availability is very flexible and have been around pets my entire life! Will walk and let out whenever needed, and make sure your pet is taken care of to the fullest! I will look after your pet full time, and I’m willing to take in at my home or visit your home for their comforbility. I have 1 cat who is very friendly and playful, if your animal is interested with daily playmates! I love animals so I know your pet will love his babysitter. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry pet, and hope for your willingness to take care of your animal. I am available in the evening during the weekdays, typically after 5:00p but can be flexible, and any time on weekends. My schedule can be altered accordingly. First and foremost, I follow the guidelines of the owner and their preferences for their pet. I understand most animals have a set schedule with routines, etc.

About: I own a large dog and small dog who are fun goofballs. Also, I care for 3 bunnies. I cared for my mother's cat till her age took her. Miss my kitties who passed years ago, but am a happy dog owner. I like to learn each pet's personality to better my care for them. I am a homeschool mom and can make pet visits and walks between lessons easily. I try to walk my dogs once or twice a day, depending on weather and their needs. I groom my own dogs because it keeps them calmer and happier. Their haircuts aren't perfect yet, but they feel the love. My kids' bunnies have daily run around play time daily as well. Usually most of my own pet playtime care is done in the morning and at night. My dogs are not crated. We have limited space for crates yet a long hallway. The fence is high and blocks view from pedestrians. Dogs have plenty of space to romp and explore. We do have a pool, which they avoid. Sometimes we gate off the room that has our main entrance to prevent dogs form escaping (if they saw a squirrel or cat). My both doors stay locked, pets feed in separate spaces. I allow animals on my couch with permission first. (Sometimes they don't ask, so we are working on that).
