“Cynthia was so kind and loving to my two pups! We had a very last minute request, and she was still able to accommodate us. She took our two pups on walks to the park, and they came home so happy and tired from their day of fun. I would highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a top-tier dog sitter!”

“Daryl was very pleasant, easy to coordinate with and was flexible with our schedule. She kept us informed throughout the day. Our dog can be challenging but Daryl's experience gave us confidence in having her care for Suki. We were visiting from out of town but would definitely contact Daryl again when in Madison!”

About: We will care for your dog like our own! Since our wonderful dog Stella passed we are looking to add more positive dog energy to our home. I am experienced with senior care; giving medications and supporting older dogs. I also have 4 years experience with dog walking and welcome energetic dogs. Both my husband and I work from home and will keep your dog company and make sure all needs are met. We have two children, ages 8 and 10, who have been raised to love and respect dogs and other animals. We only sit dogs from one household at a time so you can rely on individualized, attentive care. We have a fenced backyard and one friendly dog, Izzy. We will be your dog’s home away from home, with lots of exercise, cuddling, and fun.

About: I try to provide training for your dog using simple commands and treats. I have a corgy. He likes eating poop, so I am firm with him but lovely. I believe I take my time to rub his belly or play with my dog before feeding him or going for a walk. I always keep treats and bags. I currently have a job from home, with a flexible schedule. I always go outside for walk 10 to 20 minutes o play with tennis ball. I used to go outside 2 or 3 times a day. In the morning the firts walk is longer. I have many different toys and a medium-sized blanket if he needs to rest. They can also go on my couch. If he needs more privacy, I have a big cage with blankets and pillows. I live in an apartment with 2 beds to a bath.

“Edith took great care of our pup. She responded promptly and sent pictures and up dates during the stay. She has a fenced yard which was quite a treat.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 5 years old. I grew up in the country in Texas and at one point we had around 20 cats and 9 dogs. We took care of the strays that made their way onto our property, and sometimes adopted from shelters and random people. I was taught love and compassion for animals since I was a young child. I continue to embrace the kindness I have in my heart for animals everyday. I’m usually available most of the time, as I don’t have any full time work to tend to. I also do not celebrate holidays which can benefit pet owners very much because they can count on me being available as long as I have not already booked with someone else. I would be wonderful to your pup insuring they get enough potty breaks, walks if you would like, maybe the dog park upon your approval, and even car rides if you’d like! I offer complimentary treats.. I keep some in my home. And of course I would get them approved by my client first. For cats in my clients home, I would do the same things. I would also insure the cat box is clean, and lots of play time if that’s what the kitty likes :-)

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have lots of hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve had my own dog since I was 10, I have a bunny, and my family owns a barn with 14 horses. Being around so many different animals has taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs and personality. I genuinely love animals and will always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I’m a part-time student, so my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available after 2:30 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, after 1:30 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and anytime on Fridays and Sundays. I’m also available on Saturdays depending on the time, as I occasionally work Saturday shifts. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make scheduling as easy as possible! I live in a dog-friendly apartment and am already a very active person who loves going on walks, so I’d be happy to have your dog join me! I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, bathroom breaks, and any other instructions you provide. Your dog will get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and time to relax while staying with me. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your dog is safe and well cared for!

“Eric, Rachel and Lilo were amazing hosts for my puppy! They were super flexible with drop-off/pick-up times, they sent lots of pics/updates, and Cleo came home exhausted. I am extra grateful that they were able to take Cleo last minute. I will definitely rebook with them!”

About: From second grade until this past year, I grew up taking care of my maltese shih tzu everyday, named Ruby. She was certainly a very spoiled and loved dog! Since she passed just a couple months ago, it's been strange lacking the comfort and company that Ruby always provided me when I was alone- whether that was on long hiking adventures or just relaxing. In spite of her passing, and my overall affection for animals, I'm eagerly looking forward to finding new furry friends to take care of, play with, and join me on my walks! Growing up, I also frequently took care of my neighbor's dogs which gave me experience with all different breeds, sizes, and behaviors of dogs as well as cats. And aside from all my love for Ruby, she was definitely stubborn and picky so I have experience in dealing with difficult dogs, keeping patience, and figuring out how to accommodate each individual dogs needs and personality. Additionally, my sister has been on rover for years and has watched countless dogs and cats through this platform, and I've helped her out a lot, which has obviously provided me with the most relevant experience possible! I will be a junior at UW-Madison, but for now I am enjoying my summer in Madison without classes going on! Therefore, I have plenty of free time and so I'd love to fill it with caring for pets! Living at a prime location in the UW-Madison campus, and having easy access to my car means I can walk or drive to you and your pet and come to your home even if it's outside of campus. Whether your dog likes to loiter around every mailbox we pass on walks, or if they like to run, then I'm the dog walker for them! I'm happy to do a casual stroll and bathroom break, and just as happy to do long, multiple-mile walks. As I've gotten used to my whole life, I will always pick up after your dog and will make sure they stay safe and close to me by using whatever leash and collar you can provide. And no matter the weather, I'm still happy to spend the time outside with your dog! If you just need me to stop by to feed your pet and take them for a potty break outside, then I will happily pick up after them in the yard and after they are done eating. I grew up in nice home with a Mom who always taught me to keep things clean, organized, have good manners, and when at others homes to always leave things cleaner than how it was when I arrived. I've upheld these morals in college and so if you'd like me to stay with your pet for extended periods of time at your home, I'm the most trustworthy and respectful person to hire!
