About: Hi! My name is Madison, and I’m an experienced and dependable pet lover with a lifelong passion for caring for animals. I currently have one cat of my own, but I grew up with both big and small dogs, as well as indoor and outdoor cats—so I’m very comfortable around pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. While I now work as a server and bartender, I’ve always made time for animals. During college, I volunteered regularly at the local animal shelter, where I walked a wide variety of dogs. That experience taught me a lot about leash and harness handling, and gave me the skills to confidently care for dogs with different energy levels and personalities. Whether you’re looking for someone to walk your pup, check in on your cat, or just give your pets some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every animal like my own and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and reliable care. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! Currently I work part time, which does give me more time to help out with your babies! My only “guaranteed” times off are Tuesday afternoons and Sundays, which is when I could be available for recurring bookings. Otherwise, I get my schedule for the next week on Friday afternoons, which means I can book one-times about a week out. Every pet in my care is treated like family - with kindness, attention, and genuine love. Whether I’m on a walk or watching them at home, I follow their routines closely and make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m big on cuddles, playtime, and keeping their environment clean and calm. I pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs, always making sure they’re comfortable and cared for like they’re my own.

We do our best to go beyond basic pet sitting and provide a super loving and stress-free environment for your fur babies! We want to make sure your pets feel at home, even when you're away! I’ve incorporated daily and weekly pet care into my routine by setting aside specific times for feeding, grooming, play, and walks. It’s become a natural part of my schedule, and I enjoy the structure it brings to my day. Taking care of my pets is rewarding, and it helps me stay mindful of balancing responsibilities with quality time. I will come back to this. I wrote this out and need to find it and come back and type it here and will do that shortly.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember. In addition to my own fur family, I've watched several other's fur babies for the past 10 years. I work from home, so I'm home the majority of the time. That means your animals always get the attention they need, plus always another animal for companionship. I don't have a fenced yard, but I ALWAYS tether or take them out on a leash when at my home. I do like to give treats like kongs for added stimulation as well. I do have crates or have room for crates for sleeping or if they need alone time.
About: I have extensive experience working with dogs of all sizes and energies as a dog walker and sitter in the Milwaukee area. I put my full attention on your pets unique needs and love them as my own. I'm also knowledgeable in pet nutrition, enrichment, behavior, and training from working at a boutique pet store. I’m a graduate student, so my schedule is very flexible in the summer! I have an open schedule and hope to fill it with spending time with your pets! Your pets comfort and happiness is my first priority as a sitter. I will make our time together easy, natural, and fun while your pet gets the care they need.
About: I have owned many dogs in my life time. I can deal with dogs who don’t do well on a leash as well as senior dogs. I am located in Iowa City I am starting a new job in the beginning of July so in the meantime I’m free every day for drop in visits or boarding. Once my job starts I will only be free Friday-Sunday I live in a safe apartment complex with a pad lock on the front door so your pet will be safe. Experience with many types of dogs.
