“Jennifer was wonderful! She kept me updated and made me feel at ease. Would highly recommend and will definitely use her services in the future!”
“Ashley was great. Stepped in at the last minute. Would recommend”
About: I have a Bichon/ Shi tzu who I love and is like a child to me. Let me know if it isn’t okay to bring him around your pets and it isn’t a problem at all. I am excited to meet more pets . I’d love to work with your pets and look forward to meeting every one. I'm currently doing this as part time for myself to make a little extra cash. My main availability will be during the weekends and for drop ins during the week if available. I currently live with a roommate but they will not mind if I took in a pet for care. Currently, I typically help care for my friends pets if they are out of town but have no issue helping others.
“My cats loved Katelynn. When we got home and she returned the key, they greeted her! That says a lot. I will definitely use her again on our next trip. Thanks Katelynn.”
“Colleen was great with our two dogs, Brodie and Sara. She came over prior to the trip and met both dogs and reviewed our wishes in detail. She was prompt each day and we received a report on each visit to include a picture of both dogs. When we arrived home Brodie and Sara were happy and playful unlike when we pick them up from the kennel and they look emotionally and physically beat down. We will be using Rover and Colleen for our future needs.”
About: I’ve been a pet sitter since I was 14! I love all kinds of animals and volunteered at the humane society where I went to college. I am able to give pets pills/syringes for medication and have no qualms about those with specific requirements! My personal cat has no tail & requires extra care so I totally understand. I am currently home for the summer and have no other plans except enjoying the sun and online graduate school. I am available in this area until mid August. I enjoy doing enrichment activities with pets and going on walks (if able). I also love to cuddle with all kinds of pets and hang out if that is more their speed.
“Theresa was great at communicating with us while we were away. She was always sent pictures of our cat Astrid. We have a shy cat but she was willing up warm up to Theresa quickly which makes us feel even better.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for ten years and hope to take care of more in the future and hopefully make your baby’s more happy in the process I currently work part time at Petco so I have plenty of time to hang out and play with the fur babies and make sure there happy I try to make the area as comfortable as possible so that they are all happy and healthy in my care when I’m around them
“Booked her for 30 minutes a day. Just needed her to feed and check on my dogs while we were away and she did that and also spent time to work with my dogs. The short time she was with them I noticed major changes in my dogs when I came back! Fantastic lady she is a dog whisperer and I highly recommend her to everyone!”
About: I have a ton of experience with different types of dogs and cats included. I’ve grown up with all kinds of different dog breeds from pit bulls and German shepherds to little jack russells. I work a full time job during the day but would love to hang out with your beloved pets after! I have a passion for animals and the experience to go along with it! I never leave my own animals to their own accord so I would never do that to someone else’s fur baby, pets are precious creatures that shouldn’t be taken lightly!
About: I understand how it is to work full-time and not be able to make it home in time to let them out or to feed them to have that nagging worry to not knowing how your animals are. I'm here to take that worry away and hope that you can trust me to be able to feed and take care of your animals whenever you need. 1 hour minimums only please I would love to be able to help in any way possible. I am a genuine non-cagey person non-judgmental and definitely not a Karen! Hope to hear from you soon I have to crave my animals for a short time and then I let them out the next time. I really would like a home where I can let them room free but unfortunately and it's not the case at this point
About: I treat every pet like family — with love, patience, and personalized care. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy senior, I create a safe, calm, and happy space just for them. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. With years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even seniors with special needs, I bring love, calm energy, and reliable care to every furry friend. I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and at home — even when you’re away. In our calm, pet-loving home with our Great Pyrenees (Lady & Lakota) and our sweet cat Huey, your pet becomes part of the family. I follow their routine, give plenty of love, playtime, and quiet care. I’m home most of the day and send photo updates so you always know they’re safe and happy.
About: I have always had a pet in my family and have a love for helping others! I am reliable and excited to get started :) I am free to work Monday-Friday during the day for multiple walks! I would love to find some regular homes where I can bond with the animals. I walk or run everyday, live in an accessible portion of Madison, and am very reliable. I will treat your pet as if they were my own!
About: I’ve have taken care of my parents dogs for years and I have always walked them for a good three miles in the early morning I’m off for the summer due to school being let out for summer break so I’m free up in till August when I go back to school. I make sure they are happy, healthy, and most importantly safe. When walking I always make sure that I have them on a tight leash so there are no accidents.
About: I have walked dogs and looked after many! I have 2 goldendoodles currently, that we go on two walks a day. I enjoy all breeds. I’m currently a student. I have pretty available schedule. It helps me get in my steps while also getting in good stretched for the animals. I offer a friendly face and safe walks! Especially with the upcoming heat. I also am incredibly respectful of separate spaces and flexibility is what I offer.
“Tyneasha did and awesome job with my dogs We did a meet and greet before house visiting the dogs loved her”
“Zid arrived promptly on time for both visits for us and took care of our fur babies as if they were his own. From our initial communication, meet and greet, and continuous updates I could tell our dogs would be in excellent care. Zid was great at communicating and he made sure our pups got play time. Additionally, he sent us updates with photos which helped us enjoy our time away and not worry about them. To be honest, based on the pictures he sent us, our dogs might want us to leave more often. We highly recommend Zid and will for sure ask him to watch our babies for us again.”
About: I have had dogs in my family my whole life and know first-hand how important they are to their humans. I have had my current dog for 3 years and would do anything for him. He has taught me a lot about caring for dogs that are timid and sensitive. I believe it's important to care for dogs based on their own individual needs and personalities. All dogs deserve love, safety, and enrichment and that's what I aim to provide. I work full-time on a regular schedule. I am available Sunday-Thursday mornings and afternoons. I am off work on Fridays and Saturdays so I generally have open availability. V05 I will tailor my drop-ins to your dog's specific needs. Whether they need a walk, some fetch time, cuddles, or just a bathroom break, I will make sure they are well taken care of!
About: I have over four years of pet ownership and experience. I have a big fenced in backyard and am able to provide sitting for dogs of all ages and needs. I work from home full time, and am able to provide attentive care to your pet. I walk my dog momo twice a day (morning and afternoon), about 30-45 min each so your dog can get as much exercise as they need. I have a large fenced in backyard, and an extra bedroom if your pet is used to having time alone. They are allowed on couches, but not beds. My dog, Momo (1.5 years old) is very friendly and will provide entertainment and companionship to your pup. I like to play with your pup and provide comfort.

Sarah W.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. I have entrusted her with my own animals, and every time, I’ve had complete peace of mind knowing they were in her care. Sarah treats all animals with incredible kindness, patience, and attentiveness. It’s clear that caring for animals isn’t just something she does—it’s who she is. I’ve also witnessed firsthand the love and care she gives her own pets. Whether it’s making sure they’re comfortable, well-fed, or just giving them the affection they crave, she goes above and beyond. Her pets are happy, healthy, and clearly adore her—and that speaks volumes. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your animals like family, Sarah is absolutely the person you can trust.”
Sena H.
“Great sitter! Treated my dog as one of her own, and sent plenty of adorable pictures throughout the day. Also has a lovely fenced yard where my dog got to play with Sena's dog -- he came home nice and tired! Will definitely book with her again.”
