About: I grew up training and showing dogs and will always have a soft spot in my heart for them, especially seniors! I pet-sit for friends and family regularly, and recently decided to open my home to some new furry friends that will keep me company while I work from home. I work from home regularly and love to have a companion during the day, especially for lunch time walks. Overnight boarding works great too with my flexible schedule! I will do my best to follow your dog's regular schedule so that they are comfortable! I can easily let dogs out during the day. I have experience giving dogs medicine (usually a marshmallow or some cheese will do the trick!) As I'm home all day, I could accommodate a dog with separation anxiety.
“We felt comfortable with Sarah right away and felt that Winnie was in good hands. We were free to enjoy a day in Santa Fe and not worry about our dog’s well being. Thank you Sarah”
“Kara is so wonderful with Birdie. She is patient and caring, and her home provides a wonderful space for Birdie to play with other dogs. Birdie is always super excited to go to Kara’s house.”

“My dog had a great day at Tony’s! She was happy to be there and enjoyed playing with his pup. Tony sent pictures and updates during the day.

“We are very grateful to Tracy. She took care of our adolescent dog with his first experience with daycare. We had a sudden family emergency that required someone to look after our pub. She was open and communicative which was very helpful. Would recommend to others.”
“This is the 2nd time Haley has watched Pancho and I always feel at ease knowing he’s in good hands. She’s kind, reliable, and sends updates which I really appreciate. I can tell he has a great time every visit! I highly recommend. Thank you Haley, we appreciate you.”
“We are not from Madison, but just in town for one evening. Meghan’s communication was excellent from the beginning to the end. We talked about our situation and what we needed for care later in the evening. Meghan provided fantastic care for Moose - playing lots of fetch and helping him with his nervous separation. She took and shared lots of photos and brought him on 3 walks. Her profile was thoughtful and drew us in - we knew she would be the perfect fit. We are thankful for her hospitality and letting us park our car in front of her house while we were in town for a football game. If we are in the Madison area again, we will hire Meghan to hang out with Moose. Thank you! ??”
