“Katie was wonderful with my dog and a great communicator. She sent lots of updates and I could tell she was taking great care of him. She went above and beyond! I would definitely utilize her again.”

“Kaitlyn was great with the dogs right from the meet and greet. She handled their different personalities and medical needs perfectly. She did all that was asked and more. Thank you for allowing me the peace of mind to enjoy this week with friends!!”


“Leah was great with my 2 dogs and 2 kitties. They liked her and wanted to nap on her and play with her. She sent a couple pictures while we were gone which is nice for my kids to see. The house was neat and tidy when we got home, which I love, as I left it that way.”

About: I've been pet sitting in the Madison area during my entire time in undergrad and pharmacy school. My petting sitting experience has included dogs, cats, and birds. I am comfortable giving medication, both orally and injectable. I never shy away from those that need extra special medical attention and love. I've been fostering mostly dogs the last 6 years. While out in Montana for residency, I foster failed and moved back to Wisconsin with the sweetest lady, Sydney. Now that I am back in Madison and working part-time, I want to fill in my free time with walks, drop-ins, and occasional house-sitting (Sydney will stay home with my partner). My schedule is flexible. Always open to checking my calendar to see if your needed dates/time work! My work schedule varies at this time. I can be adaptable to the pet's routine. I can usually work around whatever the pet's needs are. I try my best to replicate the pet's normal routine as best as I can with the instructions given to me by the owner. Whatever is best for the pet.
“Travis did a great job with our two dogs and cat! He was very attentive and caring to our animals, which we greatly appreciated. He sent us pictures and kept in touch with us daily too, which we asked for and loved. He was also very responsible at our home and left it in the same condition in which he found it. Highly recommend and will hire him again.”

“Rachel did an excellent job with my pup Riley while I was gone. She was attentive and communicative throughout the entire stay and my pup was so relaxed when I got home. I would definitely recommend her and hopefully will be able to use her again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life but have professionally done in the past 6 years! I love spending time around animals and I also stay hyper vigilant if there’s any issues going on! I am currently work remotely, so I'm looking for a way to get outside and make a new community of friends, and get some walk and play time in with a furry friend! Always more than happy to make time for your pet! I have a cat named Theo and he gets fed on a schedule three times a day, which seems to the perfect mix. I like to keep pets on a schedule and active so that they’re getting all the enrichment and care that they need! If there’s not a fenced in yard, I’m happy to go for a walk!
“Stephanie took excellent care of our 4 year old poodle, bonding with him immediately and taking him on nice walks and keeping him happy while we were gone. She even brought her own long leash so he could run around at the park while she made sure he couldn’t take off. Very kind, conscientious sitter!”

“Morgan was great! She stayed three nights with our cat. It was comforting knowing that he was getting attention and snuggles while we were gone. He was in a good mood when we returned home. I could tell that he was well-taken care of. I would use Morgan’s services again!”

“Vanessa is a great cat sitter! She gives my cats plenty or playtime and petting. She sent pictures of the cats to me everyday while I was on vacation with a report on how they were doing. Totally gave me peace of mind while I was away and allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying about my cats. :)”

“Samantha was wonderful with our 3 fur babies. Very attentive to their needs and wants. Our 3 even pouted when she left! Highly recommend, she went above and beyond for our babies!”

“Maddie took such good care of our dog when we were away. We could tell at our meet and greet that Ferdinand and Maddie were a good match. Just knowing he was in good hands, being well fed and going on walks, gave us great peace of mind. She also helped us out by bringing in our mail, Amazon packages and wheeling our trash and recycle bins in for us. We were so happy to receive some very cute pictures of Ferdinand. You are an amazing sitter, and we will be recommending your services to all of our friends and family who have animals. Thanks a million Maddie!”

“Samantha is a very good worker. She is very responsable and she is always on time. She took care of Rokko very well and Rokko was very happy since the first moment. We appreciated her work very much.”

“Annemarie was a WONDERFUL dog sitter for my pup! She was so attentive and kept me informed the entire time, and Laika absolutely adored her. I will definitely be rebooking!”

“Coral took really good care of our two dogs and cat while we were away for the weekend. She was super reliable and communicative all weekend. We definitely recommend working with her and hope to work with her again!”
