Dog Sitting Madison

About: Hi! I’m Zara, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past 6 years, I’ve gained experience through dog walking, house sitting, and fostering a wide range of animals, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. A lot of my experience is personal, which I think makes it even more meaningful. I grew up with a family dog and learned early on what it means to be responsible for and truly bond with an animal. I also rescued and raised a stray kitten from just 4 weeks old, which was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had. Since then, I’ve continued fostering kittens, puppies, cats, and dogs, all with different personalities, needs, and routines. I genuinely love getting to know each pet and what makes them comfortable, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just having someone calm and reliable around. I treat every animal like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the week. I’m generally available most days, with limited availability on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9–1. Otherwise, I’m open and can accommodate a variety of schedules. I always tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the owner’s preferences. I know every pet is different, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just how their pet likes to relax. I focus on creating a comfortable, safe, and stress-free environment while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care.

About: I have taken care of different kinds of cats and dogs since I was 8 years old! I have a dog of my own and he is my favorite ever!! I am currently working part time at a restaurant so i have plenty of time to care and play with some pets!! I am rarely unavailable! I will make sure they have enough food and water at all times and I will make sure that they feel loved and cared for!

About: I’ve been taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I always had love for dogs in all sizes and their different personalities. Since having a dog on my own last year I’ve learned to practice training and grooming all by myself. I love to spend lots of time to make sure our furry friends stays healthy and happy with full attention and care. I am currently at home most of the time which I spend my day with my dog. I take walks daily morning, afternoon, and night. Feel free to ask for availability. I live in a condo. My dog Bagel is a friendly 4 year old girl that is friendly and full of energy. Treats, toys, extra leash, water bowl could be provided. (If needed) I have Pet First Aid/CPR certification for emergencies.

About: I’ve been pet sitting dogs and cats for years, and both my husband and I grew up with pets. We truly love being around animals, it genuinely makes us happy. We care for pets together, which means extra attention, calm energy, and lots of love in our home. I also have guinea pigs now, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. We treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into our routine. My husband cares for pets with me, and he works from home while I work nearby as a nanny, so one of us is always home. This makes it easy for us to keep dogs on their normal schedule, give them attention throughout the day, and make sure they’re never left alone for long. I take safety and comfort seriously, and my husband and I work together to create a calm, tidy environment where pets can relax and feel secure. We follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, feeding times, walks, sleep habits, and any special instructions, and we always pay attention to how a pet is feeling so we can adjust as needed. We make sure doors are secured, no unsafe items are accessible, and pets are supervised throughout their stay. With my background in nannying, our experience pet sitting, and both of us being naturally observant and responsible, we’re very careful with every detail. Our goal is for every pet to feel safe, cared for, and genuinely loved while they’re with us.

“Emma was amazing with Bronson. She took great care of him while we were away and he was happy and relaxed when we got home. He loved her from their first meet and greet, so we felt very comfortable leaving Bronson with Emma. We would be happy to use Emma again and recommend her to others.”

About: I’ve grown up in a house filled with dogs and cats my whole life. In the last year, I have turned taking care of animals into a part time gig and am looking to do more of it! I currently work some nights in the evening but usually fill my days with walks and drop ins and am looking to increase the amount of families I help. I promise to be very respectful of your home and take care of your pets the way I would hope someone would take care of mine.

About: Hi! I'm Jordan, a professional women's soccer player! While soccer keeps me busy, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by pets and currently have two dogs back home—a German Shorthaired Pointer named Grace and a Yellow Lab named Earl—as well as my 15-year-old black cat, Pigpen. Being away from them during the season has only made me appreciate how important it is to know they're in good hands, and that's exactly the kind of care I want to provide for your pets. I've spent years dog sitting, cat sitting, providing dog walks, and giving cats the attention and enrichment they need while their families are away. I also volunteer with local animal shelters and have training in cat enrichment, so I'm comfortable working with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company and stick to their routine, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. I know every pet is different, and I treat every animal I care for like they're my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands! As a professional soccer player, having structure and consistency is a big part of my daily life. My training schedule is planned well in advance, which allows me to dedicate focused time to the pets I care for. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I make sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I know how important it is for pets to stay comfortable in their own environment, so I do everything I can to keep their routine as normal as possible. I'll follow your instructions carefully, whether that's feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, playtime, or bedtime routines. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. For dogs, every walk is tailored to their age, energy level, and personality. Some dogs enjoy a long, active walk with plenty of opportunities to explore, while others are happiest with a slower pace and extra sniffing time. Safety is always my top priority, and I'll make sure your dog gets both the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need. For cats, I understand that every personality is different. Some cats love interactive play and attention, while others prefer a calm presence and a familiar routine. With my background in feline enrichment, I enjoy providing activities that keep cats engaged while always respecting their comfort level. I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect that I would my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets—and your home—are in good hands.

“Mary did a great job. Would (will) hire her again!”

About: I've had dogs all my life, the most recently i had a awesome miniature poodle who I was fortunate to love and care for 17 years, so I am familiar with the needs of senior dogs. My schedule is fairly open every day after about 9 or ten am. I'd like a regular opportunity, but one offs will be good as well I am available for pet sitting at the clients home, but due to younger kids I can accommodate pets at my home. Walking and feeding and playing is ideal

“Alex did a great job with my two cats while I was away for 9 days. Both cats were in great shape when I returned. She quickly learned how our automatic feeder worked so the cats had a second soft meal each day. She helped keep things tidy. She is great with cats and plays with them. I'll request Alex next time I'm away!”

About: Hi I’m Tara! I grew up my entire life with anywhere from 1-3 dogs and have a hard time not saying hello to every dog I pass on the sidewalk. While I do not have my own dog in NYC, I really miss spending time with animals and would love to get to know your pet! I live in an elevator and doorman building in a large 1 BR apartment with room for your pet to move around comfortably. I have quick access to the East River for nice walks or can travel up to Central Park or Bryant Park. I am true animal-lover and would be thrilled to help you out by providing a welcoming, fun, and comfortable place for your pet to stay. I am extremely responsible, responsive, friendly, caring, but most importantly will treat your pet like my own – giving them all my love, care, and attention. I'm currently working from home, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, and can take your dog for multiple walks during the day! I have a spacious one bedroom apartment for your dog to play around in, I also live on a quiet residential street and can play all day long! Although I don’ t have a crate, I am happy to crate your dog if you’d like to bring one!

“Katya did an amazing job with Rex, you can tell she really cares for the animals she’s taking care of. She even went above and beyond with a slight window incident lol. I would highly recommend her and plan to contact her in the future if I need help.”

About: I have had the blessing of growing up with dogs since I was born. Dogs have always had a massive impact on my life and will forever bring me an immense amount of happiness. I’ve been lucky enough to understand how both puppies and elderly dogs function and am well aware of their capabilities, wants & needs. I find myself to be a patient but energetic caretaker & am hoping to utilize this service for the betterment of both the dog and myself! You can trust your pup with me as I understand just how important a dog is to any owner - forever family. I come with 2.5 years of dog walking experience in Boston & am now eager to bring this passion of mine to NJ 😊🐾 I can walk and take care of your pup at any time of the day, as I work fully remote. I can also care for them during the weekends that I’m not away for. I love talking walks around neighborhoods frequently so I am more than happy to take your dog on a nice long walk or just entertain in your home or backyard with toys! Anything that you prefer for your dog I’m more than happy to accommodate to.
