About: Always surrounded by dogs, after asking for owner permission, lovable and playful. Patience with puppies and careful with older dogs. All dogs regardless of size and age are loved I'm am complaining my apprenticeship, being on call every other day. Able to take cats of dogs and cats every other day. Can take care of pets after 5pm I live in an apartment, unfortunately unable to take care at my own place.

About: I graduated in May of 2025 from the Madison Area Technical College Veterinary Technician Program, then passed the VTNE to become a Certified Veterinary Technician. In school we worked with dogs, cats, horses, cows, and lambs. I have had dogs since I was a child, and I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I worked on a farm taking care of horses for about two and a half years from 2020-2022. I've taken care of pets for friends/family for many years as well! I currently work at a vet hospital, though I am out on FMLA. Unfortunately, that means I can only take on pets less than 30 lbs at the moment. If you're looking for someone to take extra care of your pets, please reach out to see if we're a good fit! I'm currently working full time as a certified veterinary technician at a veterinary hospital. I work 40 hours a week with a varying schedule. Generally I work 8 am - 6 pm four days a week (my day off during the week changes each week). I work on Saturday about once per month. My rover clients will be scheduled around that availability. I currently live in an apartment with a cat and will not be able to watch clients' pets in my home. If I am watching pets in the client's home, I will take care of them the way I would take care of mine. I am respectful and conscientious of your personal space and privacy.

“I really appreciated all of Tanya's help with my pets. She's reliable, friendly, and trustworthy. I can see why she's so highly recommended...I will definitely book her again!”

“My reactive and nervous dog really took to Abbey well quite quickly. She spent her time playing with him to ensure he was comfortable so I will happily rebook with her as often as I need drop in services!”

About: I have worked in vet med for almost 3 years now. I started work as a kennel technician and I am now currently a veterinary assistant. I have pet sat my family and friends pets throughout the years. My one pup at home is a special needs puppy so I have some special need care as well. My schedule has opened up recently and I would love the opportunity to be able to watch/care for pups. I am available in the afternoon/evenings on weekdays and I am free on the weekends as well. I have two very friendly dogs who could keep your furry friend company. I also have crates and play pens in home too for separation if needed.

“Maiah has been taking wonderful care of our two dogs and they love when she comes over to let them out, feed them and cuddle! She is very responsible and communicates promptly. I highly recommend Maiah!”

About: I’ll provide take their pet(s) on a 30 minute walk. Allow their pet(s) to get enough exercise. Provide food and water. I’ll also bathe their pet(s) if needed. I have open availability on weekends and sometimes during the weekdays. I really don’t have any special skills. I’m willing to get to know more about your pet(s). The only pet care experience that I have is from learning things about my own pet. I haven’t really pet sat in a while. I’m willing to learn more by pet sitting your pet(s). I look forward to meeting your pet(s) so that I can gain more experience. I understand that all dogs are not all the same which is why I would love to get more experience. It would help me learn more about your pet(s) and it’s needs.

“Drew was very attentive with my fur babies!! She followed all instructions and was able to adjust when my dog ran to other dogs. She was able to remain calm and wrangle them back in the house. Her communication was superb and I never had to worry about getting ahold of her. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m LaShay. I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals, and I treat every pet like they are my own. I don’t just provide pet care. I provide peace of mind. I’m known for being patient, attentive, and especially good with dogs who need extra understanding or have big personalities. I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Clients trust me not only with their pets, but with their homes. I go above and beyond to leave everything clean, comfortable, and exactly how I found it, sometimes even better. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet time, structure, or extra love, I adjust to their needs and follow your routine closely so they feel secure and stress free. In my care, pets are not just watched. They are loved, respected, and treated like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and structured environment where every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress free. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm and loving environment. I respect your space, keep things clean, and make sure your pet feels secure at all times.

“Marla is a reliable sitter for my small pet family. She is flexible, and professional. I ask her first every time for the check ins for my puppies.”

“Lindsey is awesome! She follows our directions with drop ins and always keeps us updated! She send us picture too! 😊 My pups love her and my cat that isn’t the biggest fan of strangers even loved her! Would recommend her over and over again!”

About: Dog enthusiast, belly rub expert, and treat dispenser extraordinaire. If there’s a pup within a 10-mile radius, I’m probably their new best friend. I’m a professional at fetch, tail wags, and making every dog feel like the VIP they are. Let's trade dog stories or just go on a walk — I’m here for all the wagging moments!" Taking care of your pet would be easy for me as my schedule is super flexible and I can’t think of anything better than taking your fury loved one for a walk or giving them the loving they need! I would treat them as if they were my own and make sure they are well taken of! Your pets are welcome in my home! I have a perfect couch for all the pet cuddles and I keep a huge stash of dog toys that I wash regularly. I have a beautiful park across the street and a fenced in yard!

About: Hi!! I have been around and cared for animals my entire life. I’ve had 3 dogs and 2 cats during my life, starting from when I was 6 years old. Currently, I have a 3 year old pit mix and a 10 year old orange kitty. All of my pets have been rescues! I’ve helped care for the pets of many family members and friends, and I also worked at an animal shelter where I walked dogs for 7+ hours a day. I currently work part-time, so I am pretty flexible! I’m usually unavailable on Mondays and Thursdays, except in the early morning (6-8am). Wednesdays I am available 6-9am and after 4pm usually, but can be flexible if needed. I’m usually open all day Monday-Sunday. My schedule does vary, but I make my own schedule and know my work days about a month in advance! I’m unfortunately unable to care for pets in my home due to not living on my own and not having a fenced in yard, but I can take care of your fur babies in your home however you need!

“Abby is a great! Extremely quick responses. Adorable picture updates- We highly recommend her”

“Mariela went above and beyond for my doggy! He was afraid and scared when she came over. She stayed with him and did everything possible to make him comfortable.”

Jennifer R.

“Another great day for our dog and us since Autumn could take care of Annie while we were gone. We are always happy with the care Autumn gives.”

Pat S.

“Maggie communicated clearly and was very attentive to our sweet pup. I would definitely use her for dog sitting again!”

Katie B.

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, rabbits and even reptiles since I was a little kid growing up in Madison, Wisconsin--we had cats, dogs, rodents and reptiles, often all at once. As an adult, I've kept and cared for cats of all kinds, including ones needing medical care / injections. I truly am a cat person but love all animals. I'm currently a consultant-based worker, so my free time is kinda plentiful. I like playing with and caring for animals, and as a home owner myself, I am very capable of watching and caring for a home while someone is away. I use gentleness and love and the owner's instructions to care for animals in their homes. Currently I don't offer pet boarding, but am great at drop ins for feeding / treats and potty breaks / litter box clean 'n refresh.

About: Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. 🐾 My heart belongs to my 8-year-old miniature schnauzer, my little old lady bestie who came from a tough past. Caring for her through trauma and anxiety has made me a more patient, attentive, and compassionate pet parent which are skills I bring to every pet I care for. Most recently, I welcomed three rescue cats into my life, and let me tell you, they have completely stolen my heart! Every day is a new adventure learning their quirks and showering them with love. Dogs, cats, big personalities, shy babies, I adore them all. Your pet won't just be looked after, they'll be loved, doted on, and treated like my very own. 🐶🐱 I can't wait to meet them! Working from home means I have a wonderfully flexible schedule. I already walk my dog multiple times a day and spend a big chunk of my time enriching and engaging my pets. Adding your fur baby to my routine would be a joy, not a chore. There's almost always someone home, which means maximum love and minimal alone time for your pet! 🐾 Your home, your rules. I'll follow every routine, boundary, and expectation you set to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and completely at ease while you're away. My goal is for your pet to barely notice you're gone (okay, they'll miss you but they'll be well-loved in the meantime)!
