About: I grew up on a farm here in Dane County and have experience looking after many species: large animal, small animal, fish, reptiles, birds, and of course cats and dogs! I have officially been petsitting since 2018 but have watched the pets of friends and family much longer than that. I received my degree in Animal and Veterinary Biosciences from UW Madison in 2023 with an emphasis in nutrition, and I worked at a pet food store for 6 years previous to that, so I am happy to accommodate any special feeding requests. I own two large protection breed dogs myself, but have also owned and petsat small breed dogs, so I have no size or breed exception. I am happy to work with reactive dogs as long as you help me to have a thorough understanding of what scares/upsets them. Please reach out to me if you have any questions! I am happy to do overnights, stay long term, or do just quick drop ins. I currently am working 8:30-5 M-F so I am typically unavailable during those hours. I am happy to do overnights, long term stays, drop in visits, or walks I make sure to go over all of the owners requests and requirements and to follow all rules. I am clean and tidy and will leave your house as I found it.

“Carlee has been wonderful with my pup, Henry. He can be hesitant to new people at first but he warmed right up to Carlee. Carlee is a great communicator, it’s such a relief knowing Hen is in good hands while I’m away at work. Thank you for being so caring!”

“Keezing is incredible as always! It’s hard for us to find someone who we are comfortable leaving our dogs with, and he gives us absolute peace of mind when he’s taking care of our dogs! I would highly recommend him!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was ten years old. Family members and neighbors have counted on me to take care of their pets for years, including pets of all ages and with medical needs. I have an incredible attention to detail and will treat your pets as my own. I am also willing to care for pets other than cats and dogs. I specifically have experience with leopard geckos, guinea pigs, and parrots, and my experience volunteering in wildlife rehabilitation would allow me to assist with any exotic. I'm currently self-employed, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your precious pets. I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walking every day of the week. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, and I will be sure to follow all instructions given to me. Keeping your pets safe will be my priority. You can trust that your pets will be safe and happy while they are in my care. If I am staying in your home, I will do my best to make sure my impact on the space is as minor as possible and the only evidence that I was there will be a happy pet!

“Jess has cared for our dog multiple times now and she always provides detailed notes so we know how our dog did while we were away and cares for our dog like her own!”

“Our cats warmed up to Marri quickly which was great and also surprising since they don’t usually like strangers. Marri gave us good updates every time and took plenty of cute photos too”

Kenny A.

“Wing did a great job taking care of our cats! She took good care of them with feeding and watering, and sent us an absolutely amazing crop of photos with all of her check-ins. We will reach out again next time we need a sitter. Thanks again, Wing!”

About: My family dog, Midnight, is a rescue black lab and was a reluctant, anxious leash walker for many years. She has given me experience with “sniff walks”, dog-led walks, treat reinforcement, and various types of collars & harnesses. Today, she is fully comfortable on a leash and we regularly walk 2-3 miles at a brisk pace. My goal is to provide a comfortable and safe experience for your dog at their pace. I would love to spend time with your dog and provide the same level of care as I do for my own! 🐾 I’m a teacher and am available after school hours for drop in visits and dog walking during the week (Mon-Fri). My schedule is more open on the weekends and I can offer my services morning, afternoon, or evening time. I prioritize your pet’s safety with attentive care, secure handling, and clear routines. You can trust me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. I provide a calm, positive environment where your dog feels comfortable, exercised, and genuinely cared for during every visit or walk.

“I had a great experience with Kylee from the very beginning. Communication was prompt and professional, and she was flexible with key handoffs, which made everything stress-free. She went above and beyond by helping with a cat food delivery that arrived after I had already left, and my home was left clean and tidy. Most importantly, my cats were well cared for. Kylee took excellent care of my two boys (my two orange male kitties). I would absolutely recommend her to care for your pets, and I will gladly book again.”

“This was my first time using Rover and Laura made the process very easy. She was very responsive, sent us notes and pictures from her visits and did a great job trying to engage our particularly skittish cat. I would not hesitate to rebook with Laura the next time we are out of town.”

Alison K.

“Jolie has been super helpful. She loves animals and cares about them. She also respects and meets pet owners' needs. I couldn’t be happier with booking her. She is taking care of my babies, and I will definitely work with her again in the future.”

Haoning L.

“Was very quick and easy set up, especially with the key swap and her flexibility with everything. Appreciated her reaching out about pets concerns to be on the safe side. She also was very good about pricing.”

Sophie S.

“Amanda was wonderful! I reached out short notice while I was out of town and my wife had a longer day at work than usual. She did a drop-in visit for our two dogs and everything went smoothly. We’d happily book again!”

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn and I’ve lived with dogs for almost 20 years! I’ve helped family, neighbors and friends with pets of all ages, sizes and personalities. My experience has provided insight into how to comfortably care for most pets! I’m currently working at a dental clinic in the Madison area from Monday - Thursday. While work days can be busy, I can be readily available for drop-ins and walks over the lunch hour if needed. There is a large open field behind my apartment that is used by many dog owners to let their fur babies have some freedom throughout the day

“Completely amazing and super professional. He was a hero with our youngest rescue who bit him 👀 (unbelievably sorry) Great updates and photos.”

Anna L.

“Allegra was absolutely wonderful with our two senior dogs! She gave them the extra care and attention they needed, and her beautifully written, detailed report cards gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after — we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”

Kate K.

About: I’ll love your pets like you do! I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs and cats of any age, breed, and health condition. I work part time on a flexible schedule and have plenty of availability to help you give your pets the care and attention they deserve. I do not offer boarding or daycare services at this time. I will travel to your home, where your pets will be happiest and most comfortable!

“Couldn't have been more pleased with my experience. Louisa was friendly, prompt and communicative. My pups were well taken care of and I was stress-free. I'd absolutely use Louisa again for future trips.”

“Serenity was having some bowel movement issues and Kira was more than helpful in cleaning it up and ensuring Serenity’s health was okay. Thank you Kira!”

“Hannah was great! She agreed to do 2 meet and greets since we were moving and came in to feed our kitten (16 year old prissy cat) and got her to take all her meds, no problem! Thank you, Hannah!”
