“I can’t say enough good things about working with Phillip! He was kind, professional, and easy to trust with our two hyper and reactive doggos. Above all, it was such a relief to know that our fur babies were being cared for by someone who loved dogs as much as we do!!! We simply relaxed and enjoy our vacation! Thank you, Phillip!”

“Jessica was the perfect dog sitter! We needed a house sitter on short notice and she really came through. The dogs loved her and I felt so comfortable leaving them with her. She introduced her dog Maya to ours and everyone got along great. Highly recommended!”

“Amanda was great with Duncan. I had made a mistake with the starting time and asked her to come earlier. She changed her plans to accommodate this request and we greatly appreciated that. She is very friendly as well.”

“Hayley did a great job with our girls. I can always tell when they are well cared for because when we come home they barely notice we are gone. And they let us know if they are not! :) Hayley kept me well informed and sent pictures. Definitely recommend!”

About: I am an animal lover. Always have been. I grew up on a farm and have worked on a couple as well. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, goats, cattle, pigs, sheep, even ferrets, raccoons and squirrels. Have always had multiple pets while growing up and currently have my 3 dogs and 2 cats. I've always enjoyed caring for animals. Brings me great joy and have always wanted to make it some kind of job. They bring a calming peace to me and I feel like I connect with all animals and that's why we get along so well. I am currently working full time in Madison at a doggy daycare and work at 3 different facilities. I have gained lots of experience with working with puppies all the way up to elderly dogs and all sorts of breeds. You won't be disappointed in choosing me to care for your family members. Thank you for your time checking out my profile and considering me. I work full time at a doggy daycare but am available before or after my shifts during the week and free on most weekends. I am pretty flexible. I have a fenced in backyard and 3 dogs who are great company. My dogs are crate trained and I have extra crates if your dog would need one as well.

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dog, who I’ve had for 9 wonderful years, as well as helping out friends and family with their dogs. From feeding and walking to playtime and cuddles, I’ve handled a wide range of everyday pet care needs and understand how important consistency and attention are for keeping pets happy and healthy. What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. Because I’ve mostly cared for dogs in a home setting, I know how to keep them feeling comfortable, calm, and loved when their owners are away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they get the attention, care, and affection they deserve I prefer to watch dogs at my home for boarding, as I work remotely and am home during the day to provide plenty of attention and care. I also have two children at home who love helping out and enjoy meeting new dogs! I’m open to occasional daytime house sitting as well, as long as I’m able to work remotely. Your dog’s comfort and happiness are always a top priority in our home! When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and relaxed environment where they’re treated like part of the family. Pets have plenty of space to rest, play, and explore, and I make sure to stick to their regular routines as much as possible, that means morning walks, medication schedules, or feeding times. I keep communication open with pet parents, sending regular updates and photos so they feel confident and connected. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I’m respectful, tidy, and make sure to maintain the same level of care their pets are used to. I follow all instructions closely and take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs. I make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved while you’re away.

“Grace was very professional when taking care of our puppy, Andi. She sent pictures and took time to meet her the day before she planned to stay for two nights. Thanks again!!”

About: I am a very kind person to animals and people! I try to treat people and animals as I would like to be treated. I would love to care for your pet and will always try to do the best job that I can. Growing up my family always owned a dog and I love all dogs of all sizes. We owned chihuahuas and we owned boxers and pugs. I also own a cat that I love very much! I hope that you will consider me to care for your pets when you are not able to. I promise to treat them as though they were my own. I hope that you will consider me to care for your pet and will do my best. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be fully present with my dogs and cat and any animals I may have the privilege of watching. I typically have a routine with my dogs and cat. They all get fed twice a day. I try to play with them a little every hour and we typically take walks twice a day as well. I do have an outdoor play area for them they go out supervised about 4 times a day

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a well-rounded and deeply committed approach to pet care. I am the owner of Oh My Paws, a pet-sitting business I started during college, and have worked as a kennel technician, dog handler for Can Do Canines, and am currently completing an apprenticeship at a Humane Society. These roles have given me experience with a variety of temperaments, medical needs, and behavioral challenges. What truly sets me apart is my background in dog behavior and training. I am currently studying to earn my CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed) certification and have experience training service dogs through the Falcon Fetch program. This gives me a unique ability to understand body language, reduce stress in pets, and ensure a safe, enriching environment during their care. Pet care is a central part of my life and something I prioritize in my weekly routine. I have very open availability on weekends (Saturday–Sunday), and I’m also available on Mondays if needed. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent and dependable care, whether it’s for daily visits, overnights, or last-minute bookings. Because I run my own pet-sitting business and am actively involved in training and animal welfare work, I structure my schedule around the pets I care for. I take the time to provide each animal with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and a calm, safe environment. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I begin with a detailed intake to learn about each pet’s routine, medical needs, triggers, and preferences, and I tailor my care accordingly. I use positive reinforcement and clear communication to build trust with animals, helping them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routines as closely as possible to reduce stress. I’m respectful of the home environment, leave things exactly as I found them, and provide regular updates with photos and notes for peace of mind.

About: I have 15+ years of professional pet care experience through shelter, boarding, dog daycare and rescue experience. I previously managed a large scale, highly awarded facility in Madison. I can offer a vast amount of knowledge to make sure your pet not only has a great time while you are away but also is safe and well card for. I offer walks and drop in visits Tuesdays, Thursdays and weekends. Walks can be in your own neighborhood, at a nearby trail location of your choosing or off leash at my rural home in our 1.75 acre fenced in yard. (Additional travel fees may apply for locations other than your home.) Your pup will come home tired from not only physical exercise but also from mental stimulation as I will encourage them to use their sniffer and their brain with basic obedience. We also offer a limited amount of dog sitting in our home. Dogs must be dog, cat and people friendly. We are unable to accept pets with known separation anxiety. We require a one night trial for any new pets wishing to stay for more than 2 days for their first visit. I look forward to meeting your and your pet! I work a part time job on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Boarding pets must be okay with a 7 hour day those three days, but other days are much shorter or someone is home all day. At our meet and greet we will discuss safety protocols for getting your pet inside and outside safety as well as ensure they have a collar/harness setup that is secure for walks.

About: Always been around a variety of pets from Bearded Dragons to Guinea Pigs, and the traditional cats and dogs. Prefer pets to people some days. I have alot of free time thru the week and weekends, as my kids are grown and I work flexible part time jobs. I previously volunteered at the Humane Society as a dog walker for 2 years. Interested in both short term and repeat clients. I clean and groom my own pets, play with, snuggle, sleep with and talk to. I'm happy to comply with your pets schedule and personality.

“Elizabeth did an amazing job of taking care of our dog in our home while we were on vacation. She stopped over to meet Sersi in advance and go over the timing and expectations for visits. Once we were gone she always visited as agreed upon and made sure Sersi had everything she needed. She even sent some videos so I could see that Sersi was comfortable (which she would not have been had she been in a kennel for the week). I would not hesitate to book Elizabeth again in the future.”

“Isabella provided excellent care for our two dogs while we were away for an extended weekend. She provided daily updates with pictures. They had lots of playtime and were happy pups! We came home to a clean house with everything as we had left it. Thank you, Isabella!”

“Morgan is a fantastic sitter! Our usual dog sitter was unable to watch our dogs and on very short notice Morgan was able to help us out. Our dogs had a wonderful week! She was very communicative and sent us detailed updates daily. Highly recommend her to anyone with multiple dogs with special needs.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life! My dad has trained dogs since I was a little girl. I now have two dogs of my own. One is a 4 year old goldendoodle and one is a 6 month old golden retriever. I have lots of experience with potty training, dog walks, leash training, playing fetch and of course giving the fur babies all the lovings they deserve. I absolutely love being around animals and adore being able to take dogs for a walk. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby :) I am a special education teacher so I do work full time but I am available after work at 3:45pm and I am available on the weekends! My boyfriend works from home occasionally and is able to let the dogs out more frequently! If I am watching them over night they will go for a walk in the morning and in the evening when I get home! I have a fenced in backyard and 2 playful dogs to keep your fur baby company. I do have an outside kennel that leads into the garage for some shelter but I am more than happy to kennel your dog(s) if that’s what they prefer. I will do my best to follow your dogs normal routine as much as possible and will make sure that your dog(s) are very well loved and taken care of while you are away!
