Pet Sitting in Madison

About: Honest, Experienced, Reliable pet sitting and care. We take great pride in forming a bond with each pet we take care of. This is something that we love doing and will love yours like our own. As an added bonus you should get a few great photos of your favorite creature! We have taken care of Dogs, Cats, Parrots, Turtles, Fish, Chickens, Ducks, Goats, Pigs, Horses, worms, snails, etc. If you have some fun and interesting animals we would love to come, meet you and them, and take care of them while you are out of town, or just at work! We welcome pets that love to snuggle in bed, elderly pets, as well as difficult and anxious pets. Sometimes our posted rates don’t meet your special needs pets, and appreciate your patience in the negotiation process. You will get the best available and individualized care of your pets in our home, or yours. Daily updates along with photos and videos of your pet, and have the peace of mind they are being loved and cared for just like you would at your own home. We welcome training opportunities, and can continue treat and/or clicker training and potty training as well. My husband worked at a local Donkey rescue and I have been rescuing Strays since 1985. We both just love and care for animals. The nitty gritty details: We only watch pets from 1 family at a time. This lessens the stress on them, and us, and allows us to give them the BEST care possible. This also costs a bit more. Our time is valuable, as we know yours does as well. While we are capable of hosting multiple pets, we choose to focus our time and care on your families pets 1 at a time. We do require a meet and greet, and sometimes a “trial run” for certain breeds, elderly pets, or pets we will be watching for over 2 days. In most circumstances this is NOT required, but we do want to meet those who are known to have separation anxiety, barking issues, food aggression or aggression in general, have high energy needs, special diets and medications and any pet that doesn’t do well with strangers. Day care pets during the week do need to be fairly well mannered, and not have barking and/or major anxiety issues. Drop off before 8:00am and Pick-Ups after 8:00pm will be charged an additional $10 per hour. Pets not picked up within 15 minutes of the scheduled pick up window will be charged an additional $20/hr. I currently work full time remote, so will have plenty of time to play and care for your pets! We have a regular schedule of play time, including walking or outdoor time every 2-4 hours for 15-30 minutes. We have a fully fenced backyard, and ALWAYS leash ALL pets when outside our yard. We have had several “runners”, corgis and cats that want to bolt for the first sign of freedom… or squirrels/birds etc. We take great caution to make sure your pet is safe at ALL times.

She is the most organized person I know, so if you give her special instructions on your pet's specific needs, she will honor them completely. Her home is warm and inviting, with plenty of access to areas for dog-walking and playing. She has done pet-sitting for the dogs of several of our colleagues, and they all are extremely excited when she can care for their pets. Your dog will love his or her time with Ashley (and Brady).”

About: Please read my entire profile: Hi there! My name is Britt, and I live in Tamworth, NH. I am the proud owner of two cats and one dog. Between 2014 and 2021, I worked as a kennel supervisor at an animal care center, where I took care of 50-120 dogs every day. I am also a certified veterinarian assistant and have experience in administering medication through various methods such as IM, IV, SC, PO and topicals. Currently, I am attending college part-time to pursue my BS in Environmental Science. In 2016, I started pet sitting after witnessing how some animals were affected by being away from their homes while boarding. I noticed that while some were okay, others were incredibly uncomfortable and anxious. As a result, I decided to offer pet sitting services. I am generally available throughout the entire day on weekends and during the week before and after work. Facebook: Happy Tails In-Home Pet Sitting ** Medications: No charge for PO admin, however, $5 charge per IM or IV, $10 per SC. ** Dog Walking & Drop Ins: My profile is set to available 11am-3pm Mon-Fri. This is not true- unfortunately I can't set my availability for that time only for weekends. I am available 5-6am or 3-6pm Mon-Fri and open all day Saturday and Sunday. (Walks are winter weather permitting) ** It's important to note that I do have a full-time job, so I won't be present at your home 24/7. However, I assure you that I will take care of your pet(s) as if they were my own. Besides cats and dogs, I also have experience caring for chickens, goats, and exotic animals. ****** One more thing to keep in mind is that I prefer not to book or accept payments through Rover. I accept payment via check, cash, Apple Cash, PayPal, or Venmo. Thank you! ****** During the week, I work in Fryeburg and have a half-hour lunch break. If you live nearby, I can take short breaks for bathroom visits. While I'm not home, I can either crate your dog or close any baby gates or doors to confine them to a specific area. My dog has access to two rooms of my house, including his crate.
