“Heather was great to work with. She took great care of my rambunctious kitties! They can be a handful! I can tell from the photos that they enjoyed Heather's visits. I will book her again.”

“Audrey was awesome from the very beginning! She is very quick to respond and made communication very easy. She was right on schedule and handled everything without issues! We would absolutely recommend Audrey to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—growing up in a home full of fish, birds, cats, dogs, and rodents taught me early on that pets are family. I truly believe every animal deserves love, patience, and attentive care. Today, I share my home with my friendly dog Birdie, who loves meeting new furry friends and makes a great playmate. My two kids are also passionate animal lovers, and together we create a safe, warm, and pet-friendly environment. I’m experienced in administering medications, whether pills, drops, or topical treatments, and I’m happy to support pets with special needs. I also offer daily walks for exercise and enrichment, and I’m comfortable with crate training if it’s part of your routine. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or relaxed, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own. I work full-time during the week, but on my weekends off, I love spending my time caring for animals. Pet care has always been a part of my life, and I’m excited to offer reliable, loving support to fellow pet parents when I’m available. Whether it’s weekend drop-ins, walks, or cuddles while you’re away, I’m here to help give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is fully pet-friendly and thoughtfully pet-proofed to ensure a secure environment. I use baby gates to create designated pet areas, so dogs can have their own space or be kept out of certain rooms when needed. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard—perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Fresh water is always available in multiple areas of the home to keep pets hydrated throughout the day. Whether your pet loves to run or relax, they’ll have a secure, comfortable, and caring space to enjoy.

“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!”

“Ian was fabulous with our high energy cavapoo. He showed up early to both the meet and greet and to care for him. Copper got out lots of energy and enjoyed his playtime. Thanks so much!!!”

About: Returning after a hiatus! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to bring my laptop to your home so I can spend extra time keeping your pet company. . As a cat owner (and former dog owner) myself, I know how much the little details matter. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, habits, and changing needs, and follow their usual feeding, play, and rest routines as closely as possible. . Whether your pet loves attention or prefers a little space, I’ll take my cues from them and help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I work from home fulltime and have a fairly flexible schedule. I’m happy to work at your home to spend extra time with your pet. I’m very aware of changes in pet personality and needs. I’ll pattern play and care as close to their normal routine as possible, encouraging them to feel safe and secure despite their human(s) being away.

“Elizabeth was so great and accommodating!! Prompt communication and did a fabulous job with my cat. She provided a peace of mind while I was away.”

“Emily was wonderful and kind. I needed someone last minute and she completely understood and was there to check in on my pup. She gave lots of updates and pictures and was on time. She tired my high energy girl out for me and it was so appreciated! I’ll be using her again!”

“Leah did a wonderful job taking care of Helen and Violet. When I returned home Helen and Vi were very mellow and relaxed because they had excellent care :) It meant so much to me to know that they were well cared for while I celebrated Christmas with my family in Oregon.”

About: Hello! I am a pet and house sitter based in Madison WI. My family has always owned dogs and we name them after Peanuts characters! Currently my parents have Peppermint Patty and my brother has Violet. I love spending time with furry friends of all sizes, breads, and ages! I have experience with a variety from a mom and her new born puppies to a 16 year old black lab. I love to be outside and always happy for the company of a furry friend. I believe it is our job to make their lives just as wonderful as they make ours. As I currently don’t have a pet of my own yours will receive my full attention! I welcome the company of other friends from the animal kingdom such as birds, fish, and bunnies. As a long time pet sitter, care for your furry friend is easily integrated into my normal routine. I work remote two days a week allowing for greater flexibility in stoping in to see your pet. I strive to maintain your furry friends normal routine while you are away. I have experience administering medications, ensure they don’t go too long without a bathroom opportunity, maintain a clean and safe environment. I am a detail oriented person and take that approach into pet care.

“Kara did a great job cat-sitting my 3 cats. She loves cats snd my cats seemed to love her. I will definitely consider Kara for my next cat-sitting needs.”

“Mary is wonderful! We hired her to check on our cat, Kirree, last minute before going out of town for a weekend, and Mary was responsive, trustworthy, and enthusiastic. She shared clear and descriptive updates and pictures from her visits with Kirree. She seems to have a way with cats and Kirree was thrilled to see her. I will definitely hire Mary again.”

“Perfect! Talia did a great job with communicating and spending time with my cats!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my own home since I was little and had the responsibility of caring and entertaining them for over 10 years. I have experience caring for multiple breeds and ages of dogs of my own and others. I have moderate experience training puppies and have a huge soft spot for senior dogs. Overall, I am a reliable and loving towards pets and am comfortable walking, hanging out, and caring for them! I completed my graduate program recently and working part time, so I have a fairly flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my daily/weekly schedule. I will not be able to offer my home for pet sitting services (my cat prefers to be alone), but I am more than happy to accommodate client’s wishes with pet sitting in their own homes.

“I can't say enough good things about our experience with Hailey! She went above and beyond for us and our cats while we were away for 2 weeks. Her communication was top notch, she sent lots of photos each day, and was incredibly patient with our cats who need to be separated right now. If you are looking for a reliable and kind cat-sitter, look no further!”

About: Multiple years of experience taking care of pets that aren't my own. Very attentive and safe. Can go any distance or time with a pet. I am currently working a part time job so I have plenty of time to walk or play with pups. I am very flexible with hours. I am very attentive with feeding, walking, and playing with dogs. I have a safe environment for dogs in my car and house if needed.

About: I've had dogs of all shapes and sizes my entire life as well as having two cats. With my most recent dog, I took it upon myself to care for and train starting when I was 14. Open all day on the weekends and can do weekdays after 5:30. Looking to help out busy people with their furry friends. Schedule can be moved around with enough notice I love playing with dogs and have no fear when interacting. Don’t mind playful/energetic dogs and will play with them if desired. Look forward to meeting yall

About: Hi! My name is Marcela, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for both dogs and cats. I have two dogs of my own, Chester and Athena. Chester is my small rescue dog, and I’ve had him since I was 9 years old. I truly grew up with him, and he has been by my side for most of my life. Chester is deaf, and as he’s gotten older, he has also developed anxiety and takes medication to help manage it. Over the years, I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and understanding an animal’s individual needs can be. I communicate with Chester using hand signals and gentle body language, and caring for him has taught me so much about connecting with animals at every stage of life. Athena is my pit bull, and we love spending time outdoors with our animals. Whether we’re going for walks, playing, or simply enjoying the fresh air, I genuinely love giving animals attention, exercise, and plenty of affection. Athena has also had difficulty getting along with other dogs, so we worked with her through training to help her become more comfortable and learn how to interact appropriately. This has given me firsthand experience with the patience, structure, and careful management that some dogs need when around other animals. I also have hands on experience caring for a cat with significant medical needs. My cat, Fergi, was diagnosed with HCM and eventually developed end stage heart failure. During his illness, I became very familiar with the day to day care that comes with heart failure, including administering medications, monitoring his breathing, appetite, energy, and behavior, and paying close attention to small changes in his condition. Going through that experience also taught me how difficult it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care when they’re sick or have special needs. I know how much worry can come with wondering if they’re okay while you’re away. Because of that, I want to be the kind of person who gives another pet parent that same sense of comfort and reassurance, knowing their pet is being watched over with patience, love, and genuine care. I absolutely love cats, and after recently losing Fergi, I’m not quite ready to bring another cat into my home yet. I would, however, love the opportunity to care for and spend time with other people’s cats. It would be really special to have that connection again while giving your cat the love and attention they deserve. I also take pride in the everyday care I give my own pets, including brushing my dogs’ teeth daily. I’m happy to provide routine care like this when requested, along with walks, playtime, feeding, medication, and plenty of companionship. Whether your pet is young, a senior, anxious, shy, energetic, or needs medication or extra patience, I’ll treat them with the same kindness and attentiveness I give my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, and my goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re apart. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! ❤️ I have a flexible schedule since my partner and I run our own microgreens farm. This allows me to work pet care into my schedule and be flexible with walks, drop ins, and stays. I’ll care for your pet(s) based on their individual needs and any instructions you provide—every situation is different, and I’m happy to adapt to what’s best for them.

About: I have taken care of my family and friends pets for many years. I try my best to understand the pets energy that they display and follow any directions given by the owner that makes the pet feel comfortable and safe. I work as a baker so I have several days where I am done with work either by 11 AM or 1 PM. I am also occasionally available all day on Fridays. I respect the directions given by the owner and try my best to understand the energy given by the pet I am sitting. I do not want to cross any boundaries that make the pet feel unsafe. I am patient with pets and try my best to make them feel comfortable and loved.
