About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs and spent years volunteering at our local animal shelter. I also often catsit for friends! After saying goodbye to my family dog recently, I'm looking to share the love and care I have for animals with others. Whether it's a walk, some playtime, or a cozy cuddle session, your pet will be treated like family with me ❤️. I work a 9–5, but I have the flexibility to work remotely a couple of days a week—whenever I choose! This allows me to schedule drop-in visits, walks, or house sitting around my workday. Whether it's a morning walk, midday playtime, or evening check-in, I’m happy to provide your pet with care, attention, and companionship when you need it most. I love incorporating pet care into my routine—it’s the best part of my day! While I cannot care for pets in my apartment, when caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and trust. I always follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, preferred walking routes, or playtime routines—to make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. I take the time to build trust with each animal, moving at their pace and making sure they feel relaxed and cared for. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away.

About: I grew up with dogs. Over the past four years I have worked with training service dogs. I have experience working with all types of dogs. Any dog in my home Is treated the same way I treat my own pets. I am willing to give tips and pointers or just provide a wonderful place for your dog to have fun and relax. Not only am I great with dogs, I am great with people! I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your dogs! I am done with work every day by 1 PM if not sooner. I have the nights and most weekends off. I am happy to follow any instructions you have for your dogs. I have trained all types of dogs and will differentiate depending on what the dog needs.My backyard is fenced in. I spend time throwing toys and taking my dog on a walk. My dog gets along with all types of dogs. She is a two year old lab who is happy to be alive!

About: I’ve had a soft spot for animals my whole life. I have a dog named Finley. He's a 7 year old mini Australian Labradoodle and I couldn't love him more. I have also petsat for dogs, cats, and small mammals in other people's homes. My first job was at a dog kennel, so I'm knowledgeable, and comfortable, with all breeds. I worked at the dog kennel for a year where I gained valuable experience that will help me take care of your dog. I am comfortable with feeding, administering medication, and light grooming. I can’t wait to meet you! I am a graduate student at UW Madison studying computer science. I am taking one asynchronous course over this summer, leaving me with lots of extra time that I can spend with your pet! My flexible and open schedule means that I can provide your pet with care, companionship, and enrichment activities on their schedule! I’m incredibly active and always finding new places to explore outside - a dog’s dream! As a dedicated pet caregiver, my foremost priority is to ensure the well-being and happiness of your beloved furry companions while you're away. Upon arrival at your home, I would first greet your pets warmly, allowing them to become familiar with me and establishing a bond based on trust and affection. Following any specific instructions you've provided, I would meticulously adhere to their feeding schedule, providing them with nutritious meals and ensuring they have access to fresh water at all times. Whether it's measured portions of kibble, special dietary requirements, or a preference for certain treats, I'll make sure their dietary needs are met with precision and care. Daily exercise and playtime are crucial for your pets' physical health and mental stimulation. I would engage them in stimulating activities tailored to their preferences, whether it's a brisk walk around the neighborhood for your energetic dog, a game of fetch in the backyard, or interactive play sessions with toys for your playful cat. These activities not only keep them active but also foster a sense of joy and fulfillment. Maintaining a clean and hygienic environment is paramount for the well-being of your pets and the overall upkeep of your home. I would diligently clean and sanitize their living areas, including litter boxes, feeding stations, and any other designated spaces, ensuring a comfortable and sanitary environment for them to thrive in. Beyond the basics of food, exercise, and cleanliness, I understand the importance of companionship and emotional support for your pets. I'll spend quality time with them, offering cuddles, affection, and gentle reassurance to alleviate any feelings of loneliness or anxiety in your absence. Throughout my time caring for your pets, I'll keep a keen eye on their health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns or issues that may arise. Whether it's administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness, or simply providing a comforting presence, I'll go above and beyond to ensure their safety and well-being at all times. Communication is key, and I'll keep you updated regularly with photos, videos, and messages detailing our daily adventures together. You can rest assured knowing that your cherished pets are in capable and caring hands, receiving the love, attention, and care they deserve in the comfort of their own home.

“Our dogs received excellent care with Marissa and the pictures she sent was a very nice touch so we could see how they were doing. The “Bears” were much more relaxed staying at home in their natural habitat then going to a kennel.”

“Hannah was a great caregiver for our two cats while we were out of town. She communicated professionally and in a timely manner and made sure our cats had fun with getting treats and playing with their favorite toys. We appreciated her sending pictures with her visits and checking our mail, too! Would definitely trust Hannah to care for our cats again!”

Patricia B.
