About: I am a lifelong animal lover & care taker. I also own a small business making healthy pet treats, so your special fur face will be spoiled! I have experience with reactive dogs, behavioral problems, senior animals, medical issues, & a wide variety of species. I base my care around the animals needs, not my schedule. I am patient, steady, & calm. I have loads of engagement toys, puzzles & activities to keep your pet happy & stimulated. I have a very flexible schedule & work from home, so I can adjust around you & your pets' needs whether it's early morning, last minute, or before bed. I do not have a fenced yard, so I do not leave dogs outside at my home. I walk & take park trips multiple times a day. I have 3 dogs & a cat who are used to new friends visiting. I do not crate my dogs in my home, but am happy to in your home.

“Katie was very punctual and responsive! She was so kind to my cat, followed all instructions, and my cat looked forward to her visits filled with lots of petting! I would recommend her and have her provide care in the future!”


“Anne did a fabulous job!! Her sweet, calm energy put my anxious cats at ease. She did wonderful with my finicky instructions, sent helpful updates with pictures, and took great care with my girls. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing they were in good hands.”


“Tonisha took great care of our kitties while we were on vacation! We really appreciated the photos and videos she sent every day. We would love to have her sit for us again in the future!”


About: I am currently a veterinarian assistant in school to become a veterinary technician. The most amount of animals have set for at once is 7 (3 dogs, 4 cats) all needing special diet food, and certain medication’s. overall, I really love animals and hope to make peoples lives easier by being able to take care of them. Currently, I’m in school Monday through Thursday and I work Wednesday through Friday. I am able to watch animals and do things in the morning and in the evening and whenever I would have the free time to go back to the home and make sure they’re ok. I can do whatever you would like me to do, whether that’s free roam or crate. Ultimately, whatever works in your home works for me.

About: I’m a high schooler teacher on summer vacation with nothing to do but be outside and enjoy dogs instead of teenagers. Not only would I love to walk your dog, I am also willing to take them to any Dane County dog park (assuming your pet has the right registrations). I have more experience with large dogs than small dogs. I have the whole summer off with nothing to do but walk your dog! My Dalmatian requires 2-4 hours of exercise a day, so I am always out with her. Currently I am available for walks every day at any time. I can provide leashes and poop bags if needed, or I can use whatever you provide. If you are comfortable, I can take your dog in the backseat of my car and we can go to the dog park!

“Hayley was amazing with my little man! She even stayed and waited for maintenance when there was an issue with getting in my apartment because she was gonna find a way in to make sure my boy was taken care of. It was hard being so far from him, but he had the best time with her!”


“This was my first time using Rover and Jennifer was fabulous ❤️ Her updates and photos she provided each day brought me total peace of mind! My cat got into something she shouldn't have and Jennifer let me know right away and kept me updated about the situation as the days progressed. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have experience caring for pets, having grown up with them, and I am available with a flexible schedule throughout the summer months. I would be happy to assist if needed. I am currently a teacher on summer break and have availability to assist with dog walking, provide daytime or evening companionship for pets, and house sit if needed! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, or simply offering affection and companionship. My priority is always to ensure pets feel happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with a wide range of pets, I’ve cared for two cats, a dog, and even a snake for most of my life. I’ve been the primary caregiver, not just a helper, so I understand the day-to-day responsibility and attention pets deserve and need. On top of that, I’ve dog-sat for neighbors and friends with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing gentler care. I’m currently working part-time, mostly nights (5-9) and some longer weekend shifts (1-10). I will always work around you and you’re baby, I don’t mind taking night shifts at all! I have a large yard for pets to enjoy, leashed or unleashed! I also have a separate space where your pet can endulge in a fun play area! All of my pets are extremely friendly with humans and other animals alike.

About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I connect with each animal and get to know what is normal behavior and what isn't so I can quickly identify if anything seems off. You can rest easy knowing you'll be immediately informed if anything seems concerning. And, I'll also provide updates with each visit, including pictures. I am an excellent communicator and very detail-oriented. I ask lots of questions during meet-and-greets to ensure there is no disruption in your pet's usual care and routine. I work from home and have a very flexible work schedule, so I can make frequent visits almost any day of the week. If your pet has health concerns (meds, needs to be fed at specific times, etc) or needs a specific schedule, I can accommodate for that the vast majority of the time. I will always communicate any schedule conflicts before finalizing a booking. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I approach animals I'm just getting to know on their terms so they can feel safe and secure. I am always sure to leave things in your home exactly how you want them, including cleaning up after myself or any pet messes I find.

About: I’ve grown up with pets since a young age. I’ve dog sat for multiple friends and family- from puppies to senior dogs, as well as disabled. I love to make sure dogs feel as special as they make us feel. ❤️ I am my own boss, therefor, I have a super flexible schedule and can make really any specific times work. Weekdays and weekends, mornings and evenings. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I love to treat other’s pets as my own, and will always be aware of surroundings!

About: I have always been a dog-lover. I've owned dogs my whole life, my life would be incomplete if I didn't have a dog. My fiancé & I have a chihuahua, German Shepard, & labordoodle. I will make sure your dog is a happy pup 24/7. You can count on me to cover all of your dogs needs and wants. I’m a stay at home mom with my 1 year old son & 2 month old son so I’m very free! We can stop by your home or I can drop him off with grandma. Whatever they need I’m there for them. My dogs usually potty every 2-3 hours. They get morning & evening meals as well. I will care for yours like they’re mine.

“Kirstyn is the best. She has taken care of our cats multiple time; they just love her. She has excellent communication; great updates and pictures. We highly recommend her.”


“Chris was awesome with my boy Monty! He was quick to respond, attentive, and I felt so comfortable knowing he was going to be with my pup. Monty was in great hands. 10/10 recommend, thanks Chris!”


About: I have had animals throughout my entire life and really enjoy them all but there is a special place in my heart for dogs. I worked at a vet clinic for many years as well as pet sitting at that time. I enjoy training dogs as well as just taking them on long walks. "Anything is paw-sible with a dog by your side" I am a stay at home mom currently and I am looking to break out and have more adventures with the animals I care so much about. I'd like to start in your home and when it feels right I can always open up my home. I have a fenced in yard with a lot of room to play. In your home I will stay focused on your pet and treat them as I would my own.

“Angie did a great job with my 2 cats. She was very nice and friendly.”


About: I’ve taken care of mainly my friends dogs when they are out of town, neighbors as well, walks, feedings, and all round care. I’m very flexible with schedules and working within needs! Im currently working a part-time job, but I don’t have many hours working that field so my availability is usually pretty free for pet care. Depending on the household, I would either stay inside with the pet, and then take them outside or on walks. Play games or just relax with them, also anything that was requested by the client I would make sure to keep an eye on!

About: I've trained a puppy from birth to death. I can administer medications and basic training as well as walking skills. Few things phase me -including messes- and I am strong enough to lift large breeds. I spend a lot of time working with my fearful Shepherd/lab mix, so we don't host other dogs. But I look forward to walking yours in when you're too tired or don't have time! I will crate-train your dog if you'd like, but I like to focus on scent training, games, and physical exercise to tire them out so they'll be your best cuddle-bug!

Laura S.Star Sitter
“Laura truly cared for my two dogs like they were her own. She was very attentive to their individual needs and quirks and went out of her way to make them feel comfortable with her. My one dog, Freddie, is fearful of new people and was initially skeptical of Laura. By the end of the week, she was easily his favorite human! It is a huge relief knowing your critters are well taken care of and well loved when you're away. She sent us regular photos and updates and was wonderful all around. Highly recommend!”

Abigail M.
“Abigail was a wonderful pet sitter for our 4 dogs and 4 cats while we were out of the state for 2 weeks. Each of my pets had pretty specific needs such as daily medications and all being fed different food, and Abigail was able to follow my instructions to a tee! Not only was she amazing at staying in touch with me and sending pictures whenever I asked, my pets also loved her! I also love that she has extensive veterinary medicine knowledge and experience, so that if any of my pets got sick while we were gone, she would know what to do! Leaving our pets for that length of time was nerve racking at first, but once we were on our trip, I did not find myself worrying at all. When we came home, my dogs were even treated to a new toy from their new friend, Abigail. I 10/10 recommended her and would 100% book her again for our pet sitting needs.”


Bridget J.
“Bridget is a highly skilled pet caretaker. She is the parent to a dog with a variety of specialized needs so has great experience adapting to and assessing the needs of a pet.

“Heather has cared for several of my dogs over the years. She’s kind, caring, and loves animals. She takes care of them like they are her own and is willing to give medications (which can be a trick sometimes!), make sure they get plenty of snuggles, play time, and exercise.
