Dog Sitting in Fitchburg

“Sarah was great! She kept in contact with us and responded quickly if we had questions. Cats were healthy and happy when we got back. We would definitely use her again.”

About: I have experience with all types of pets, from high-energy companions to more laid-back, relaxed ones. Growing up with dogs, working as a social worker at a veterinary clinic, and being a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to provide your pet with the love and care they deserve. Every pet has its own unique personality, and I’m here to cater to their individual needs—whether your dog requires an extra-long walk or your cat needs brushing and nail trimming. I’ve got you covered! I work from 8:00-4:30 most days of the week. I’m available for walks and drop in visits at any point on the weekends. I can also make walks and drop in visits work anytime before and after my workday during the week. For all services, whether it's walking your dog or housesitting, I like to gather all the details. I understand that you’re trusting me to take care of your pet, and I want to make sure I meet your expectations. To do this, I'll learn about your pet’s routine, how they behave during walks, their personality, and any special care instructions that will help make the experience better for everyone involved.

About: With over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats from a young age, I provide attentive, loving, and safe care. I am skilled in managing pets with strong leash-pulling behaviors and handling various situations to ensure they remain calm, controlled, and away from danger such as harmful foods or chasing other animals. My priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of every pet under my care. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I have hands-on experience handling multiple breeds, from small Poodles to large Labradors and Bernedoodles, including dogs with strong pulling strength. As a Golden Retriever owner, I take my dog out multiple times a day for long walks and hikes, ensuring both physical exercise and mental stimulation. This routine has made me skilled at managing dogs of all sizes and energy levels. When caring for pets at my home, I create a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, regular walks, and consistent feeding schedules. I ensure they are comfortable, supervised, and get both exercise and affection throughout the day. At clients’ homes, I follow all provided instructions carefully—maintaining feeding times, walking routines, and any special care requirements. I respect their home and make sure pets feel comfortable in their own space while keeping them safe, engaged, and happy. If needed, I can provide video service to capture all the work I did since I completely understand how we as pet owners like to see what our best pet friend did with a new friend.

“Fanny was super kind and did a wonderful job of checking in on my cat! Very communicative, amazing pictures after each visit, and made my trip much more enjoyable knowing my girl was well taken care of. Will definitely book again!”

I cannot wait to plan my next vacation only so that newton and Austin can have more time together! ❤️ thank you so much, Austin!”

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.

“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.”

About: I’ve worked/volunteered at the Humane Society for two years. I’ve watched friends dogs since I was 12 years old. Love to take dogs on walks, to the dog parks and just spend time with them. I have 2 dogs already at home so I can only watch your pets at your house. I currently work full time so pretty much work around my full time job. I’m more available in the afternoons, there are some days that i can do mornings. I treat them like my own with all the tender love and care they need. I have a fenced in backyard that the dogs love to play in.

“Robert was wonderful with our pups!! He understands the importance of having someone reliable taking care of your family members while you are away. We will most definitely be using him again.”

About: Hey! When you get to know me it’ll be very clear that I have a passion for dogs. I have been trusted with many family and friends dogs, making sure they get the love and cuddles they deserve while their human is away! Taking care of pets works great with my schedule as I currently work as a nurse. I am off more often than not and have flexible days off! I am available 4 days out of the week and weekends and would love to spend it with your pup taking them on walks or just spending time with them so they aren’t lonely. I’ve grown up around dogs and caring for dogs. My number one goal is to make sure their needs are met and they are safe and feel loved. I’ll be sure to make sure your pet is taken great care to ease the stress of being away.

“Sydney did a great job with our senior yorkie. She understood her needs and Molly really enjoyed her time. Glad we found a great Rover pup sitter. ❤️”

“Elizabeth was a life saver! She did such an amazing job with our dog who can be a bit of a handful! Very professional and cared for Stella like she was her own, I was really nervous leaving her with someone new for the first time and Elizabeth put our minds at ease. Can’t recommend her enough!”

Seth D.

“Our first time using Rover and we can’t say enough good things about Eric & Christine. They took such good care of our puppy! We are new to the area and we were hesitant to try Rover but Eric & Christine quickly eased our fears with consistent updates & photos. We certainly appreciate all the love & care they provided our young pup! Thanks again!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager I had my childhood dog for 17 years, so I understand all the needs an older dog might have. I currently have a 5 year old Bichon/Llasa Apso mix who loves other dogs. Any dog coming into my care will always be treated like my own and given the love they deserve. I currently work from home and am a single mom, so day time care is pretty easy to fit into my day. My best days for availability are Wednesday and Thursday. I will also have a smattering of availability on the weekends I have a big fenced in yard and a 5 year old dog named Gus, who will love spending time with your dogs. There are lots of great walking paths around my neighborhood to keep your pet happy and acurve. All pets are allowed on the furniture or in bed at night but I do have crates if that is preferred.

“Brooke was great about giving updates on our little guy and spent plenty of time playing with him and making sure he still has some enrichment while we were gone. Would love to have her watch our kitty again in the future!”

“Heidi was great with the dogs, and knew they were in great hands. She was very informative and made me feel comfortable knowing my babies were in great hands.”

Sarah R.

“Nikki has been completely reliable and a godsend for letting Emma out at midday. I really appreciate her obvious love of animals (and how they love her back), her positive attitude, and all that she does to make our lives happier and easier. Thanks, Nikki!”

Liz Z.

“Emma was a fantastic sitter to our two cats! She was patient with our particular pet needs and was really great with our shy cat. Getting pictures of our cats while we were away was a total delight.”

About: My name is Jake and I want to be your dog’s second favorite person (behind you of course). I grew up with dogs, cats, chickens, turtles, snakes, and fish, so I know my way around responsible pet ownership. I have bottle fed kittens, managed puppies, and even sat for a house-trained rabbit. I’m a Masters student so my schedule is flexible and I’m dog and cat deprived so I’ll give your pets all the love! I am a Masters student with a very flexible schedule. I’m happy to do drop-ins, walks, or house sit any day of the week. Let’s get in touch! I love all dogs and cats and will provide any care you need me to for your pups and cats! Unfortunately due allergies in my family I can’t board, but am happy to do drop-ins, walks or house sit. Whether you have a puppy or senior dog that needs special attention, or a dog or cat that just wants to play, you can count on me to entertain them and keep them safe.

About: I’ve always been passionate about animal welfare and care. There has never been a time I have not owned animals and currently has 4 cats and 1 dog. My experience stretches further as I have experience with anywhere from small animals such as chinchillas and guinea pigs to horses and previously working as a vet managing 90 baby deer. I share a lot of love and attention with my animals and would be happy to share that time and dedication with yours! I have a full time career in Human Resources for a large local employer where I work remote which has allowed me to have so many of my own fur babies! I am pretty flexible and wouldn’t accept a job where I couldn’t meet your animals needs. I have four cats that are well adjusted to dogs (including my neighbors 90 lb golden retriever) and a very social dog that my husband takes to the dog park 4 days a week. I also don’t mind staying at other persons homes as I have before with our neighbors and friends. You can expect that I will always treat your home and privacy with the utmost respect—just as I would want someone to do in my own home. If you have specific rules or instructions, you can count on me to follow them carefully and consistently.
