House Sitting in Madison

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over the years, including dogs and cats. Having grown up around animals myself, I understand how difficult it can be for pets when their owners are away. My goal is to make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re on vacation, and I’ll give them plenty of attention, affection, and care until you return. I am currently a college kid home for the summer. With that being said I have a completely open schedule right now until I head back in the fall! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they stay on their normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also provide plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on each pet’s individual needs and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free while their family is away. I always send updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

“As first-time Rover users, we were initially nervous, but Taryn immediately set our minds at ease. She warmly suggested a meet-and-greet to ensure it was a good fit for us and our pets. While we were away, Taryn was excellent with communication, checking in upon arrival and sending regular photos and updates. Coming home was a delight; our house was spotless, our dogs were happy, fed, and well-exercised, and Taryn had even thoughtfully started a load of household linens in the wash. We have no doubt our animals adored her and received the very best care. We will absolutely be asking Taryn to return!”

About: Neighbors, friends and family continue to entrust me with their pets of all ages! My pup has hiked to high heights with me, but I’ve also loved many in their final, precious days. Wherever your loved one is, I’ll be sure to care for your fur babe like you would! I am a mom of one that works full time for a University from home. Monday through Friday I work from 8-5 with two 15 minute breaks and a lunch break of at least one hour. I am a triathlete that is often up at 5 AM training. Then, I go on a walk every day on my lunch and often again when I log off for the day. I’d love for your fur babe to tag along! I have two fenced in yards full of sun and plenty of shade. I have a 40 pound doodle that can keep them company and give them plenty of exercise if needed, but I can also keep them separated if that is preferred. I have fresh well water and a walking trail around our property. I can also crate your dog or offer them a bed if they need. Otherwise, your loved one will roam free with lots of play time and cuddles. Whatever your fur babe needs, I’m here to serve you!

“Preston did an absolutely outstanding job caring for our animals while we were away for a week. Our dog, who is both highly anxious and sometimes aggressive, completely warmed up to him - a true testament to Preston’s patience and skill. He not only gave our dog the care and attention he needed but also made sure our two cats, two mini horses, and donkey were all well cared for and happy. We came home to a tidy house, content animals, and total peace of mind knowing everything had been handled so well. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring pet sitter, Preston is the one!”

“Christy was responsive and friendly. She gave me some updates eventhough I didnt require them. I'm sure Zeus had a good time. Would recommend”

“Catecha is the best. She was prompt, courteous and showed so much love to our Gracie. She updated us frequently on what was happening and gave Gracie plenty of love and attention. We will definitely use her services again in the future 😀!”

“Great communication and I could tell from what they were saying about Roger that he was well taken care of and they were truly spending time with him. Will definitely book them again!”

About: Hey! I’m Savannah, I just graduated from esthetician school and now working as a solo esthetician in Athens. From birth I’ve always been surrounded by dogs from Dobermans to Pomeranians. I’ve always had a huge heart for animals, especially dogs, and I’d love to help care for yours while you’re away. I have recently gotten three kittens and have fallen in love with cats now. As someone trained in both skincare and healthcare, (from lifeguarding growing up) I know how important it is to be detail oriented, compassionate, and trustworthy. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving your pup extra snuggles, or going on energy burning walks, I’m committed to giving your fur baby the love and attention they deserve. Let me know your animals needs, routines, quirks, and I’ll take care of them like they’re my own. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Let’s set up a meet and greet! I’d love to get to know you and your fur baby! I’m currently working part-time as a licensed esthetician but have plenty of time to work around any days you would need! I would be available mostly during the week and holidays! When pets stay with me, they become part of the family! I create a calm, cozy, and pet safe environment where they can feel comfortable, loved, and secure. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I adjust to their pace and needs.

About: Relaxed, in-home care for your four legged friend! I have worked in the veterinary field for over 15 years working with a variety of breeds and personalities. Iam competent in administering medications, watching for sicknesses, and dealing with senior pets. I am also a human EMT meaning I work well under stressful circumstances and can process.and thinking clearly in those situations. Your friends are in good hands when in my care. I am currently a homeschool Mom of 2 sweet girls. I have ample time during the day for walks, drop ins, play time, etc. My priority is easing your burden. I do not currently bring dogs to my home, as I have two large dogs of my own. While in your home, I would make sure everything is safe and secure while you are away. I am happy to perform additional small tasks, if requested, for an additional charge. While you are away, I would love on your friend like they are my own, making sure they have everything they need, food, water, bedding, litter, meds, etc, and are safe and content.

“Alanna is a sweetheart….she was playing with Murphy right away. Alanna listened to instructions and immediately felt at home around Murphy! Hope to keep using her in the future!!”

“Megan has stayed with our pooches numerous times. The best way to sum up how wonderful she is is to say the dogs are a little down and look for her at our gate for a few days after we return!”

“We couldn’t be more pleased with the care provided for my 16-year-old pittie mix, Dooley. She followed every direction we gave and went above and beyond to make sure Dooley was comfortable and well cared for. I especially appreciated the thoughtful communication and updates, which gave me peace of mind while we were away. Not only did she care for Dooley with patience and kindness, but she also cleaned up after herself, leaving everything spotless. It’s rare to find someone so responsible, compassionate, and attentive. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Thank you, Karen and Debbie”

About: I’ve been caring for pets and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including larger breeds such as Pit Bulls, XL American Bullies, and Cane Corsos. I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just lots of attention and affection, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I promise to be dependable, responsible, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am currently a college student home for the summer and do not have another job, which allows me to offer a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. If your pet is staying with me, I will be home for most of the day aside from occasional errands or appointments. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and companionship to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I live in a house with a yard and access to a dog park within my neighborhood, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and enrichment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by owners and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I will provide attentive care tailored to their individual needs.

“Mateo was geear and professional to work with. He was able to come by multiple times a day to check up on Domino and provide him the care he needed! Would recommend to friends and family!”

About: I've got multiple years of experience handling a highly anxious dog that can be dog selective during high stress situations. I was the one primarily training my family's two dogs, as well as the one taking them out on as many walks as I was able. I have multiple years worth of experience with senior dogs that had arthritis and who needed to have their food prepped especially for easier eating. I'm currently a student at the University of Georgia and currently looking into part time summer positions, however my schedule is very flexible with daily check-ins and overnight stays during both the week and weekend are very doable. During check-ins, outside of ensuring food and water are available, I would make sure to spend time playing and hanging out with any dog and if I have time to take them on a walk I will. For overnights, I would do the same thing with the only difference being the amount of time I'd be able to spend with the dog.

“Phoebe was awesome! She was easy to work with and did an excellent job taking care of our small dog, four cats, and our home! She is responsible and dedicated. I would not hesitate to have her take care of your fur babies!”

Darlene B.

“Gina was responsive when I reached out and my pup seemed happy when I returned home. House was clean and tidy so no complaints there. Didn't really have a whole lot of communication while I was away so am assuming all was good!”

About: I’ve loved animals and pets my entire life. I’ve taken care of all sorts from large dogs to small, cats, fish, and livestock. I grew up on a farm and have been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. I’m an avid fly fisher and student at UGA and my partner is a full time dog groomer. Let us make your pet safe, comfortable, and happy as can be! I’m a full time student in an academic research field, so between research, studying, and class, I’m very free and would love to fill that time with furry friends. As of right now I’m home all day for summer! Pets in our household are always played with, comfortable, well fed and have an eye on them 24/7. Beyond anything else I will ensure your pet is safe and comfortable. The last thing you want while out of town is to worry about your little friends

About: Hi, my name is Kenzie. I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely love spending time with them. I’m all about creating a calm, happy space where pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their people are away. What makes me different is how naturally I connect with animals and how much real experience I have. I’ve pet‑sat for lots of families with all kinds of pets and personalities, and I’m really good at helping them feel comfortable quickly. I also babysit, so families trust me to be responsible and respectful in their home. I’m easygoing, reliable, and I always make sure every pet gets plenty of love and attention. I just graduated from UGA, so I have a lot of free time right now and would dedicate all of it to your pet. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so taking care of them never feels like “work” to me. I’m flexible throughout the day and can easily fit walks, playtime, feeding, and whatever routine your pet needs into my schedule. When I’m taking care of pets in a client’s home, I keep things super simple and respectful. I follow whatever routine you already have in place, keep your space clean, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and not stressed. I’m good at sticking to feeding times, walks, litter box care, and any little details you want done a certain way. I’m calm, patient, and I always let your pet set the pace. At my place, pets have plenty of room to hang out, explore, and get cozy. It’s a clean, safe space with no chaos, and I’m always paying attention to doors, windows, and anything that could be a safety issue. I love having animals around, so they get lots of attention, cuddles, and a relaxed environment where they can just be themselves. Your pet’s comfort is the main thing I focus on, and I make sure they feel happy and secure the whole time.
