Cat Sitting in Madison

About: I have been working with dogs for the last 10+ years. I have worked with small dogs and large dogs, lazy dogs and active dogs. At one point I worked for a dog walking company taking 13 dogs hiking at once! It was amazing. Since getting my own dog, I haven’t been walking as many dogs lately. But I’ve started nursing school and would love to be able to help out as a study break. My own dog is dog reactive so she will never join, but that means I know all of the quiet forest roads and secret water spots so your pup can have the best time. Have an overly active dog? I frequently bike with my dog (on or off leash.) and run with her and would love to do the same with you pup. And if your dog is reactive? I can make sure they get all the exercise they need without seeing other dogs. Reach out! I would love to learn more about your dog!

“Levi has been a godsend this summer for me! With a very busy schedule this year and having to leave Ollie for a couple weeks for the 1st time, I felt so much better that Levi was gonna be here to check in on her! I appreciate the daily pictures so much and the updates on her spirits in my absence. Ollie is not a lap cat but she loves being in the presence of people. I think Ollie fell in love with Levi so both Ollie and I recommend :)”

“Heather is the best! She cared for our 15-year old cat who had some special needs, and Heather went above and beyond and gave him all the love and attention he needed. We couldn't be happier!”

About: I've been a special needs dog owner, am honored to be loved by my partner's parrot, as well as taken care of other dogs, cats, rabbits, geese, goats, and am a horse person. I can throw hay, if given proper instructions can put together the morning grain. I love taking care of bonded pairs of house rabbits, as well as curling up with a doggo or a kitty. If I'm doing in home, I tend to first feed the pet(s) in the morning, before I get myself breakfast, and the same for dinner. If drop in is needed, I'll be there morning, & evening, potentially mid day as well. I tend to sit for new clients in their home, depending upon established client I may sit in my house for well behaved dogs. If at my house, your dog will never be outside without some sort of leash, whether it's a 6' or a 50' long line, as I have a not fenced in yard, with a well traveled road at the end of my driveway.

About: I’ve been a dog lover for all 26 years, but I’d say I’ve been able to take care of dogs for 20. I’ve had four different family dogs I’ve helped raise. I was a friends personal dog walker for about a year, but I moved. My grandmother bred and boarded dogs most of her life so I grew up around dogs with someone who knows a lot about them. I’ve also helped friends raise and somewhat train their puppies. I believe I’m different from other dog walkers because I’m not just doing it as a job, I will love your dog as my own and will enjoy helping with them. I’m looking to see all dogs but I could also sit them if you ever needed or wanted! And I love all dog breeds and sizes I can handle them all. I’m currently a stay at home mom so my schedule is very open to help you with your cats and or dogs in my free time I will love your pets as if they’re my own. I’ll gladly take them for walks or play with them based off what you ask me to do!

About: A little bit about me- I have cared for all sorts of animals growing up. Had my fair share of animals, dogs, cats, turtles to smaller furry critters and reptiles. Animal lover to the extreme! Animals are basically my therapy. 😄 I’m full time for caring for your furry friends. I enjoy any animal and love to care for them. Let me help be your favorite friendly furry friend care giver! I follow the same schedule your pets are used to, which makes it a lot more comfortable in knowing there’s no disruption in there everyday life. I care for them like they’re my own. 🙂

“Amy was personable and professional, and she kept in touch with photo updates when we were away. I believe our sweet kitty was well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”

“We highly recommend Maggie and we will be having her care for our pets again in the future! Maggie took great care of our three cats. We appreciated the way she gave us timely updates about each cat and made sure they ate and drank. The cats seemed to really enjoy having Maggie stop in to visit. She was flexible and communicative throughout! Really made us feel at ease while we were away.”

Elizabeth W.

“Richard was wonderful with my shy cat Sophie. I was worried she would hide during the drop in visits, but it wasn't long before Richard won her over. He sent photos, was communicative, and flexible with times. I would definitely recommend him, and look forward to using his services in the future.”

Jenn O.

“Mel is clearly in-tune with dogs - well at least my dog, Bean! She was immediately affectionate with him and continued to be easy in his presence while we all got to know each other. During his first drop-in with Bean while I was away, he was super communicative - even sending a picture early in his visit showing Bean relaxing in the yard.”

Cathy S.

“Beth was very easy to talk to , you can tell she loves animals and is very compassionate towards my animals I willl use her again in future”
