Dog Sitting Dodgeville

About: I’ve constantly been surrounded by all kinds of animals throughout my life. I especially love cats as I have 2 of my own but will spread the love to even reptiles! My past experience includes years of dog sitting for a family friend, for stays up to 2 weeks long. The dogs were also older so I had to accommodate their needs as well. I walked, fed, pet, and played with them all while maintaining as similar of a schedule that I could for their comfort. I am unemployed until the summer, when I will be working full-time, so I’m constantly home! My cats are fed around the clock three different times so I’m here for that. I just go to classes for a few hours in the middle of the day and come right home. I am a student who lives in a 2 bedroom apartment with my boyfriend so we have a spare room to cater towards your fur baby in our space. For client’s homes, I always follow instructions given to provide the utmost comfort and familiarity for your pet.

About: Hi! My name is Lensy, and I’m excited about the opportunity to care for your pet. A little about me: I am in grad school (online) and work a hybrid job which gives me flexibility/ allows me to be remote a good amount so your furry friend isn’t alone day! I have plenty of experience looking after neighbors’ pets, from playful puppies to full-grown dogs. I also have experience with birds and cats. I can’t wait to take your furry friend out for walks, keep them entertained, and meet their unique needs. I understand it can be hard to trust someone new with your beloved pet, so please don’t hesitate to share any concerns or specific instructions. I’m here to make both you and your pet feel comfortable! I’m flexible, understanding, and passionate about keeping pets happy and active. I look forward to meeting your little companion! PS you will see a lot of photos on my profile of my family golden doodle Coco, who is my whole world😌 I I often have the flexibility to work remotely and do grad school online which allows me to be quite adaptable. I am available to do in-person visits and check-ins throughout the day, though I’m unable to provide lodging. My weekends are currently free, so I’m happy to arrange care for your pets during that time as well. Please feel free to reach out to discuss how I can best accommodate your needs! When caring for pets in my home or in my client's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment tailored to each pet's needs. In my client's home, I want to be sure to know their routines. I focus on providing a stress-free experience, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for in familiar surroundings. At home, I have a pet of my own, a mini golden doodle named Coco, who has taught me a lot about pet care and the importance of personalized attention. I ensure a calm, pet-friendly space where all animals can relax and feel at ease. I also maintain consistency in feeding times, play sessions, and any special care routines. I always ensure their safety and well-being is my top priority, no matter the setting.

About: I have taken care of lots of animals over the years just from watching them for a friend. I do struggle with speaking English, as I am from Venezuela but we will take very good care of your dog! It is me, my wife, and my daughter in Madison along with ny mother who is home during the day so even when I am at work, they dogs will be going on walks and getting active throughout the days. Someone will be watching the dog even when I am at work, so it will rarely be left alone. We enjoy going on bike rides or hikes, so it will definitely come along! I always make sure the dog is properly cared for and getting the right amount of attention it needs, which is definitely not a problem as my daughter is obsessed with dogs!

“Matt was great with our dog, Lillie. While we were away, he visited her three times a day. He provided a morning and evening potty break and a nice afternoon walk to exercise her. He was good about keeping to her schedule and routine. Lillie enjoyed playing with him and looked forward to each of his visits. We will definitely call Matt again next time we are away.”

About: I have always been a huge animal lover for as long as I can remember. I love playing with pets, and keeping them company. The thing I love most about dogs is that their so genuine, and sweet. I especially like to train pups! I am basically living my life around pets! So that means, always finding the time in taking care of animals, because like small children, they need to be watched over, and looked after. I’m very courteous when entering a new home, and I really like to establish what is called “a sitter-to-dog-to owner relationship, where the owner(s) feel like they can trust me, and their dog or dogs feel like they can too.

About: I always had a dog in my house growing up, and my dogs became part of the family. I have been dog sitting for five years and continue to love helping people take care of their pets. I currently do not own a dog at my own place, but my parents have two Labrador retrievers that I visit any chance I can get. I am very organized and enjoy working with different types of pets. I am a reliable hard worker who is always looking to learn more about the world around me. I spend my free time hiking, going to concerts, and spending time with my friends. My sister, Sam also pet sits with me so we can provide the best care possible with our ever-busy schedules. My work schedule is very flexible, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I try to accommodate clients' schedules as much as possible. I will be sure to follow safety and environmental guidelines on a client-by-client basis. You know what is right for your pet, and I respect that.

“Very friendly & accommodating. Absolute delight to work with and would recommend! Did great with our dog (=”

About: I grew up in a family that always had dogs, ranging from small dogs (like Chihuahuas) to big dogs (like German Wirehairs). As a child, I took on dog training experience through my local 4-H group and pursued that for a large portion of my early education career. Since then, I have always been a lover of dogs and have taken on many responsibilities, not only for my family dogs, but for my roommate’s dogs as well. Any care and love your dog needs, I would be happy to provide it! I’m available for pet care during the week and on weekends. Whether you need drop-in visits or overnight home stays, I’m happy to help, just please be sure to book in advance so I can plan accordingly! I kindly ask for at least one day’s notice for cancellations. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Please note: I do not offer dog care in my own home as I live in an apartment. However, I’m happy to provide in-home care at your residence for both dogs and cats! For dogs, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, including regular walks, outdoor playtime (at a nearby dog park or fenced yard), and bathroom breaks every 30–60 minutes based on their needs. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you provide to keep your pup happy and comfortable. For cats, I offer attentive and respectful care, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and affection (if your cat is the cuddly type!). I understand feline behavior and know how to give them the space or snuggles they prefer. Whatever your pet needs, I’m here to help while keeping their routine as stress-free as possible!

“Will definitely reach out to Jaren again for future visits! He did a great job with our two pups and was very accommodating to our schedule. Thank you so much!”

About: I have experience with small-large, birth-death dogs and cats. I grew up with many puppies born in my home and always had 1-4 cats. As a young adult renter I vicariously lived through all my friends and family with animals. Dogs, cats, birds, lizards, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, fish. I love animals, they are people too. I have experience administering medication as well as grooming. I am looking to care for fur babies full time. My previous employer was bought out and my position relocated to Georgia. I am exploring becoming a full time pet sitter in between regular life errands and hoping it will sustain me as my own boss so I can avoid returning to corporate life. My goal is to become animal CPR certified as soon as possible and begin a journey towards becoming a certified trainer. Every animal is different with different schedules and different needs. I'm my home my animals are fed healthy and get plenty of play, exercise, grooming and treats.

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 12 years old. I love meeting new dogs! I don’t have any of my own but love them all as if they were. I do work full time but I am home often. I have lots of free time on nights and weekends that I am available for walking or sitting. I have a large backyard and open home. I am very cautious about leaving things out and making sure to have a clean home. All visiting dogs are allowed on sofa and beds as I do watch family and friends pets in the home.

“Incredibly helpful and prompt.”
