18. Tiffany R.
About: Always the Aunty to call, when pet care is needed in my community. It’s always a reward when I gain a pets trust & love. I’m working a part time seasonal landscaping job, around Madison, on top of pet care, for families this summer. Go ahead & take that vacation My space is very open, with a safe, clean environment. Pets are comfortable anywhere, & I will take precautions needed for all individual pet care.


19. Kooy B.

“Kooy did an amazing job watching my dog Mac while I was out of town for work. Mac isn't used to being left behind and sometimes has issues with separation anxiety, but he absolutely loved hanging out with Kooy. Never seen him so happy with a sitter :) Kooy will definitely be my first choice next time I need a sitter, and I'd highly recommend him for house sitting or whatever other pet care you're looking for.”
