“Katie is amazing!! We have 2 very energetic dogs and she made sure to take them on a good walk and play in the backyard multiple times to get their energy out! Our one dog even had some tummy issues and she made him chicken and rice 🥹 we trust Katie with our pups and will definitely utilize her again!”


“Louisa and her daughter treated our 2 dogs and 2 cats like their own! I received regular updates and pictures on how they were doing and when we got home they didn't even seem to miss us. Our dogs received daily walks which was awesome! It was my first time having Louisa care for our pets, but she asked lots of good questions beforehand so I was completely comfortable leaving them under her care and she did not disappoint. I would not hesitate to use her services again!”


“I am incredibly grateful to Alexandria for watching my dog, Topi. She is not only kind and pleasant, but she genuinely cares for Topi’s well-being. Alexandria went above and beyond to ensure Topi was happy and comfortable. Her attentive and loving nature truly sets her apart. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

You can tell he really does this for the joy he gets taking care of your pets. You will not be sorry if you book Robert!”

“Jolie is great. Good communication and goes above and beyond to spend quality time with our two large dogs. Very happy, will book again if possible.”


About: With 12 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and breeds, I provide attentive, compassionate, and reliable care. Whether it’s energetic puppy playtime, gentle senior care, or daily walks and cuddles, I ensure every pet feels safe and loved. I’m also experienced in administering medication, following specific routines, and providing plenty of enrichment. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I am currently a graduate student at UW-Madison. I am available to care for pets on weeknights and all day Friday through Monday. My schedule allows me to provide consistent, attentive care, whether it’s evening check-ins, weekend walks, or overnight stays. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensuring they feel secure and stress-free. I provide a clean, pet-friendly space, always supervise playtime, and keep a close eye on any special needs like medications or dietary restrictions. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away.

“Drew is terrific. Or flight home was delayed and caused us to miss our connection… would’ve been sick with worry but Drew cared for our pup and stayed an extra night. Returned to a happy dog and clean home. So happy!”



“Leah was great with my 2 dogs and 2 kitties. They liked her and wanted to nap on her and play with her. She sent a couple pictures while we were gone which is nice for my kids to see. The house was neat and tidy when we got home, which I love, as I left it that way.”


About: I have been around animals my entire life. From growing up with dogs of all sizes (including a newfoundland mix who is over 100 pounds), a cat of my own, and care of various other pets (plenty of fish and a class lizard for a short time!), I know animal care well. I love all kinds of animals and genuinely love putting in the effort and love it takes to make sure pets are happy and healthy. Plus, as a very outdoorsy person, I love going on walks and will make sure bigger pets get the exercise they need! My pet care philosophy is centered on the idea that unique pets need unique care. I have cared for puppies who need near constant supervision and attention, big dogs who require multiple walks a day, shy pets who need a slow and gentle hand, older dogs who required medications they were determined to spit out, and more! I know your pet is unique, and I promise to deliver care specifically catered to their personality and needs. I am currently working full-time on a hybrid schedule. I am able to work from home Thursdays and Fridays, so I am able to pet sit for extended weekends. I have a cat of my own, so I am unable to host your animal in my home, but I am willing to housesit and drop-in for visits! As I am unable to host your animal in my house, I will make sure your pet still feels at home when you are gone while staying in their own space. I know it can be daunting to allow a care giver in your space, but I promise to respect your home while respecting your animal.

“Jessica was amazing with my boys!!! She took such good care of them and I really appreciated all of the picture updates! Would totally recommend her and can’t wait to have her watch the boys again!”


“Dustin came to dog sit for me at a last minute request! He even offered to stay late for me until my next door neighbor could take over, due to her having flight delays. Thanks so much for taking care of my girl, Dustin! 🥰🐾🐕”


“Kaitlyn stayed at our house with the two dogs while we were out of town. The dogs were well cared for and the house looked great when we got home!”


“We have never left our boy, Griffin for more than a couple of days before. We went on a two week trip and hired Travis to watch our big sheepadoodle. He was incredible! He sent us pictures and videos of Griffin at the dog park and around the third day, Griffin was giving him his paw and Travis was loving on him. We then received a picture of Griffin on the bed Travis used…. That sealed it…. Griffin loves him! We do too! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our boy❤️”



“Ashley is the best thing to happen to our family needs! She goes above and beyond, caring for our pup like he was her own. She’s communicative and sends great daily updates.”
