About: I’ve loved animals since I can remember. I am full time online veterinary technician school, white working in a vet clinic. I also work as a veterinary assistant at a vet clinic. I have six pets three rabbits who live in a separate room, two cats, and one dog. I have a big heart for animals in need and animal rights so when possible I try help re-home animals in need of a different environment and a more suitable life. My first priority when watching a pet is making sure all their needs are met and they are as relaxed and comfortable as possible. If they’re happy I’m happy. . . . I currently work full time, 4 10 hour days. I am able to stop in before and after work and if close enough I can stop in during my lunch break. I live in the lower half of a house three bedroom with an unfenced yard. All my pets are friendly, house broken, and my dog is trained.
About: We have over 20 collective years of pet caring experience and currently have a 5 year old Bichon, August, that we love to spoil. We adopted our 14 year old poodle, Scrappy, from a local shelter. So, we have plenty of senior dog experience, in case your baby takes medication daily. We understand the concern of leaving your pet at a kennel as we, like many others, have had bad experiences in the past. We just moved into our new home and have plenty of room for your fur baby. Our community is very pet friendly and has a huge dog park where your dog can run around with other dogs, play on the agility course or relax in the shade under one of the many trees. Not only will we take your pooch out regularly, but we will send pictures frequently. We will treat your dog like it's our own! We both look forward to taking care of your dog!
“Laura is definitely the sitter you need if your pets have medical issues. She is able to give my one cat his pills and the other cat, an insulin shot. She also sends very cute pictures which gives you a peace of mind that they are in good hands.”
About: Thanks, Hi, I’m Rylea! I’m a 24-year-old animal lover who has been in the animal care field my entire life. My passion for animals continues to grow with every new experience. I’ve worked as a caregiver at an animal boarding facility, volunteered for 7 years as a Feline Friend at the Dane County Humane Society, worked as a veterinary technician, and spent time in doggy daycare. I now run my own dog grooming business, where I specialize in compassionate, personalized care for every pup. One day, I hope to open a doggy daycare and boarding facility to provide even more services to the pets and people in my community. I’m a flexible, caring person who truly enjoys connecting with pets and their people. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them the love and attention they deserve! I'm the proud owner of a dog grooming business. I love all animals and at this time have plenty of time to also help pet owners who need a good dog sitter or dog walker. In my own home I have a wide open yard but also a fenced in area. I tend to take care of pets in the ways that the owners prefer, to keep the normal routine even though they are in a different home. I also have a dog that loves to play and go on walks so I make it part of my life. My dog would love to have a Friend to play with. If I go to a client's house I tend to follow order on what owners do or want done during the day. It is very important. I would treat your animals as I would my own to create a bond and trust with them.
“sandina was very reliable and responsive. it helped me a lot to know she was there because I was anxious leaving them. she took great care of our kitten and our older cat.”
“Nina took great care of my 4 kitties while we were out of town and sent me pics when she came to visit! She even dropped by ahead of time to meet the kitties and see where everything was. I would definitely book her again”
“Tanis was so patient and kind with my finicky cats. I appreciate that she took care of my older cats insulin shots and gave them both love. I felt so relieved to have someone so sweet and competent take care of my fur babies.”
“Phillip was prompt in his communication and personable. We appreciated his flexibility when we modified our original request a little. We also appreciated his candor and would happily have him look in on our cats again.”
“Having a nervous and aloof dog, it's a bit tricky to find a good sitter, but our search is over. Samantha is amazing! As the photos from each visit came in I could see our dog bonding with Samantha. I could tell they were were getting along well and we could relax and enjoy out time away. Everything was perfect upon our arrival home cementing our trust in Samantha. This is what we all want in a great sitter. Someone who can step in and keep the dog healthy and happy. We're already talking about our next mini-vacation with full confidence.”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. My father was a German Sheppard breeder when I was growing up. I was always hands on when helping with the puppies, ensuring that we helped raise good family dogs. I was a supervisor at a large doggy daycare and boarding facility until recently when I decided to branch off. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I currently have 3 wonderful dogs of my own and foster kittens when with my husband when we are needed. I will always treat your fur baby with the same love, care, and patience as I do my own. After all, I wouldn’t expect anything less than that for my babies.

Samantha R.
“Sammy and I worked together for about a year at a large doggy daycare and boarding kennel. Sammy is a huge animal lover and is incredible empathetic to dogs' needs. She was always the first to let management know if a dog was sick, injured, etc. and did everything she could to try to make them feel better. She is also well-versed in dog body language and in supervising play with multiple dogs. Sammy is great at communication with dogs and their owners. She has pets of her own, so she understands what important things people want to know about their animal when the owner isn't around. Sammy rescues barn kittens who have been abandoned by their mothers and cares for them. I am lucky enough to have adopted one of the kitties, and he is incredibly healthy and well-adjusted. I would trust Sammy with my own pets any time!”
