House Sitting Heistand

“Mary was wonderful. It was obvious my dog, Cedar, was at ease with her and well cared for. Mary left notes about Cedar’s meal times and bathroom breaks as well as sending pictures and comments in the app. Everything went 110% smoothly and I didn’t have any concerns or worries at all while away which is a great feeling. Thank you! We hope to book again in the future.”

“Samantha is great with my beagles. They got into stuff they shouldn’t have and she graciously cleaned up after them. Very communicative when there was concerns. Will request her services in the future.”

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.

About: Hi, my name is Emily! I recently graduated with my master’s in environmental science and am currently working for the Dane County. I love my job but miss interacting with animals on a daily basis, so I am looking to start up pet sitting and dog walking again! I have over 8 years of direct animal care experience, working with both domestic (cats, dogs, and chickens) and exotic pets (birds, reptiles, and small rodents). In addition to volunteering with numerous animal rescues as a foster mom, I have worked as a veterinary assistant, completed two animal care internships with accredited aquariums and nature centers, and provided long and short-term care of wildlife for conservation research. Because of these experiences, I am able to provide a variety of services, including: • Bathing • Medicine administration • Adhering to special diets • Enforcing or redirecting behaviors • Incorporating healthy exercise and play As an animal lover and experienced pet sitter, my priority is the physical and mental well-being of your pets. I will ensure that they receive top quality care as well as the affection and attention they deserve. You can trust that your pets will be well loved and cared for in your absence. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my availability or would like to discuss rates for multiple pets/long-term care. My current position allows me flexibility in my day, so I am able to do drop-in visits every 5-6 hours. However, I may be willing to accommodate alternative schedules, so please feel free to reach out to me to discuss you and your pets needs! I provide animal care in your home in order to reduce the amount of change and stress for your pets in your absence. I have pets listed in my profile but I have family that cares for them while I am working so all of my attention will be on your furry friends.

About: I took care of our family cocker spaniel growing up. This involved walking him daily. I have since helped with friends and roomates dogs, as well as dabbling in work with other farm animals such as goats and turkeys. I work remotely and have a fairly flexible schedule for both home stays and/or dog walking. I am active and like getting outside in all of Wisconsin's seasons. I like walking and prioritize pets getting their daily activity. This also means making sure pets are safe in their surroundings and I'm mindful to make sure I clean up after them.

“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!”

“Jen was great with my dog. Super attentive, sent me pictures and updates every day, and left my apartment in great condition. I would definitely use her services again.”

Fernanda R.

“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. :)”

“Fantastic communication! Our dogs loved Madison.”

“Autumn was great with communicating, asking questions and following care instructions during an overnight/ 2-day stay. Our cattle dog can be a bit anxious in general, but she was relaxed and happy when we came home. Our house was clean and tidy upon our return too. Thank you Autumn for being someone we can trust to stay with Paisley!”

About: I love dogs and have been caring for them since 2014. I'm a bit more expensive than other sitters because I spend so much time with your pet - no leaving them for hours on end! The only exception being if your dog stays over a work day. As a substitute teacher, I have passed an F.B.I background check and have a flexible schedule. I'm very casual about dogs in my home and love giving them attention and affection. I have a number of repeat clients and have cared for a variety of dogs. When I'm not at work, most of my time is spent with your dog. Demetral Dog Park is a 10 minute walk from my home. Please contact me with any questions. Thank you. During the school year, I generally work full-time Monday through Friday but summer, holiday breaks, and weekends I'm generally available. I enjoy dog company when I'm home! I live in a second floor apartment in a house. I do have a large, metal crate available if necessary but I'm happy to have your pupper simply relax on their bed or mine.

“Ashley was a dream sitter! Our shy, skittish pup fell in love with her immediately — he looked so happy and at ease even in the very first picture she sent! She was communicative, followed his medicine regimen, and clearly cared about him. We wouldn’t trust just anyone to be with our boy during his least favorite day of the year (July 4), but Ashley went above and beyond to make sure their time together was safe and fun!”

About: I’ve shared my life with animals for over a decade, and my heart truly belongs to dogs and cats. As a homeowner and a "dad" to three pets of my own, I understand that your animals aren't just pets—they’re family. Why Choose Me? -I’ve been with my own buddies for 10 years, navigating everything from post-op surgery care and complex medication schedules to senior "attitudes" and puppy smiles. -I am a hybrid worker with a flexible schedule and my own transportation, making it easy for me to drop in for walks or midday snuggles. - I treat every home with the same care I give my own. You can expect a clean space and frequent, proactive communication so you never have to wonder how things are going. -Whether your pet has a specific routine or a quirky habit, I follow instructions to the letter to ensure their comfort remains consistent. I know the peace of mind that comes with knowing your fur babies are happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m here to provide that same comfort for you. Work mostly from home with one day in the office. Very flexible on needs and schedule! Up early and go to bed late, which makes my schedule open to accommodate the needs of our little fur friends. I respect your space, privacy, and needs to ensure your home is just the way you left it when you return. In my home, we keep a clean ship, organized, and make sure all fir buddies are rewarded with treats when good behaviors are exhibited. With instruction, can be mindful of any special needs for our fur friends. Their health and comfort matters too!

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

“Lynne did a great job taking care of Jett for the day. He was happy and wild as usual when I got home. She was friendly and very attentive. I will use her again!”

Amber R.

“Ellen is great with cats. My senior kitty absolutely adored her and she was attentive to his special needs and paid attention to little details during her stay. She gave me daily updates and photos and I was able to fully relax and enjoy vacation because I knew Ellen was taking good care of my cat. I highly recommend her!”

Emily T.

“Always does an excellent job with our dogs and cats. Great communicator with all happenings in our home when we are away. Thank you for all the extra work you do!”
