“Booked Lacey for my mom and this is her review: I didn’t know what to expect with Roger and Lacey, but my husband was gone and I needed help. The moment she saw Buddy, she immediately made a great connection”

About: Hi! I’m Madison, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for animals in both shelter and home settings. I volunteered with Shelter from the Storm Animal Rescue as a behavioral assessor, where I was trained to observe animal behavior, body language, temperament, and individual needs. I also helped write biographies for adoptable animals, which gave me even more experience getting to know animals as individuals and understanding their unique personalities. My family also fostered animals, so I’m very comfortable working with anxious, shy, fearful, or nervous pets. I understand that every animal is different, and some need extra patience and space before they feel comfortable with a new person. I pay close attention to body language, routines, comfort levels, and changes in behavior so I can meet your pet where they’re at and help them feel safe. I work a hybrid-remote job and am typically only in the office 1–2 days a week depending on my workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care. I love being able to spend extra time with pets who want companionship, playtime, enrichment, or just some good old-fashioned snuggles! My girlfriend, Alyssa, is also part of my pet-care journey as my partner in training! She is learning alongside me and may occasionally join me for pet care as she gains experience with different animals. I’ll remain the primary caregiver and point of contact throughout your booking. My goal is simple: I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll take the time to learn their routines, respect their boundaries, and give them the individual attention they deserve. I work a hybrid-remote job and am only in the office 1–2 days a week depending on my workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care and allows me to spend extra time with pets who need more human interaction, playtime, or snuggles! Alyssa works second shift on weekdays, so depending on the timing of your booking, she may also be able to help fill in and spend time with your furbabies while I’m at work. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. My background as a trained animal behavioral assessor helps me recognize signs of stress, fear, discomfort, or overstimulation and adjust my approach accordingly. I’m especially comfortable with shy or anxious animals and will never force interaction before they are ready. I prioritize safe handling, secure doors and gates, and making sure pets cannot accidentally escape. I also respect your home by keeping things clean, following your instructions, and making sure everything is as you left it when I leave. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: I have owned 4 dogs in the past 30 years; a Chihuahua/Toy Terrier, a Chihuahua/Shitzu, a Dachshund/Corgi and I recently owned a Toy Poodle - who was elderly, anxious, blind and toothless. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge and I miss her so. She was my world! My past dog sitting experience includes overnight care for; a Keeshond, a Terrier, a medium sized mixed breed, a Japanese Chin/Poodle, a Standard Poodle, a Sheltie, and a Pomeranian. Dogs are my special interest and I enjoy loving and caring for them. My 30 years of experience with different dog breeds and temperaments has shaped my ability to have realistic expectations, intentional patience and flexibility with the individual dog personalities that I have encountered. They are all good dogs and I love them all! My nickname is Rue. I am available most days and evenings to board dogs in my home which has a fenced in yard. I have no children or pets of my own at this time. I can also make home visits to let your dog/s out, walk your dog/s, and/or pet sit at the your house as needed. I am flexible with how I can care for your pet. My intention is to keep your dog/s in the routine that they are familiar with so that they can be the calm, happy dog/s they are destined to be.

About: Hi! My name is Marcela, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for both dogs and cats. I have two dogs of my own, Chester and Athena. Chester is my small rescue dog, and I’ve had him since I was 9 years old. I truly grew up with him, and he has been by my side for most of my life. Chester is deaf, and as he’s gotten older, he has also developed anxiety and takes medication to help manage it. Over the years, I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and understanding an animal’s individual needs can be. I communicate with Chester using hand signals and gentle body language, and caring for him has taught me so much about connecting with animals at every stage of life. Athena is my pit bull, and we love spending time outdoors with our animals. Whether we’re going for walks, playing, or simply enjoying the fresh air, I genuinely love giving animals attention, exercise, and plenty of affection. Athena has also had difficulty getting along with other dogs, so we worked with her through training to help her become more comfortable and learn how to interact appropriately. This has given me firsthand experience with the patience, structure, and careful management that some dogs need when around other animals. I also have hands on experience caring for a cat with significant medical needs. My cat, Fergi, was diagnosed with HCM and eventually developed end stage heart failure. During his illness, I became very familiar with the day to day care that comes with heart failure, including administering medications, monitoring his breathing, appetite, energy, and behavior, and paying close attention to small changes in his condition. Going through that experience also taught me how difficult it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care when they’re sick or have special needs. I know how much worry can come with wondering if they’re okay while you’re away. Because of that, I want to be the kind of person who gives another pet parent that same sense of comfort and reassurance, knowing their pet is being watched over with patience, love, and genuine care. I absolutely love cats, and after recently losing Fergi, I’m not quite ready to bring another cat into my home yet. I would, however, love the opportunity to care for and spend time with other people’s cats. It would be really special to have that connection again while giving your cat the love and attention they deserve. I also take pride in the everyday care I give my own pets, including brushing my dogs’ teeth daily. I’m happy to provide routine care like this when requested, along with walks, playtime, feeding, medication, and plenty of companionship. Whether your pet is young, a senior, anxious, shy, energetic, or needs medication or extra patience, I’ll treat them with the same kindness and attentiveness I give my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, and my goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re apart. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! ❤️ I have a flexible schedule since my partner and I run our own microgreens farm. This allows me to work pet care into my schedule and be flexible with walks, drop ins, and stays. I’ll care for your pet(s) based on their individual needs and any instructions you provide—every situation is different, and I’m happy to adapt to what’s best for them.

About: I have done petsitting (cats and dogs) for over 15 years. Usually for animals where I personally know the owners and have spent time with the animal to create a bond/relationship. I want to full disclose with new perspective pets parents: I have a full time, in-office job with the standard business hours, Monday through Friday. If that's not what you are looking for in a house sitter, I understand. If I had a pet of my own, I would ensure all their needs are met. As a petsitter, I would to ensure their animal's life doesn't change or I could make it better in some small way especially since their parent(s) is gone I stay at the animal's home to care for them so their life isn't different than what it usually is for them. Changing their environment can be quite shocking and stressful to them. I try not change their lifestyle too much while the parent is gone

“Jimmy did amazing with Tucker! He took the time to come and meet the day before the walk to talk about Tuckers habits and dos/don'ts which made me feel really comfortable with letting someone else walk our dog. Tucker was extremely happy after the walk too!”

About: *LGBTQ+/BIPOC friendly* I have grown up with dogs all of my life up until last year after losing my pup of over 10 years. I’m ready to take care of other dogs like my own! I am also open to senior care. My experience with animals also include about 2 years of volunteer service at a local animal shelter. I am reliable and responsible with a somewhat flexible schedule during the week! My husband who is a licensed vet tech also can join on walks or visits too if that's okay with you. I work from home during the week, and I can sometimes flex my schedule to accommodate your needs. I am also open to weekends with notice. Typically, my day starts at 7am and I am open to house visits through 10pm. I care for pets in my clients’ homes as if they were my own. I am extremely respectful of space because I would expect the same from a pet sitter. If you need other things attended to while you're away (mail, garbage, etc.) I'm happy to do that for you as well! I am a former teacher, so you can trust me to be reliable and respectful of your space.

About: Growing up with two dogs, and always playing with friends' and neighbors' pets, I have always loved spending time with animals! I’ve been dog and cat-sitting for the past 5+ years. I will provide as much exercise as needed, play with, feed, and bathe pets. I would love to continue meeting and taking care of new pets through Rover! I am currently a student at UW-Madison but I will work around this schedule in order to have plenty of time during the day to look after your pets! I am also available on weekends and my schedule is pretty flexible depending on your needs, and I will always make sure that your pet is my number 1 priority during the time they are in my care! I will adjust how I care for your pets based on their needs and preferences! I love to snuggle with pets, but I know some want to play, which I will also attend to. No matter what your pet is like, I will do my best to treat them in a way that will make them happy and feel loved.

About: Former member of UNC-Chapel Hill Puppy Raisers, a student-led organization that works with puppies in partnership with Ears Eyes Nose and Paws of Chapel Hill on their journey to becoming service animals. I’m currently working part time, so very flexible with the times and days that I am available to help out with your cats or dogs! I have no pets currently so full attention will be devoted to your animal! I have grown up with dogs my entire life and feel comfortable handling all sizes and breeds.

“super responsive - good with big dogs”

About: I worked for a professional pet care service for almost a year and learned a lot about animals through that time! Overall I am an animal lover and can’t wait to meet your cute pets!! I’m currently a senior in college who has free time and thought I could use it to my advantage and meet some cute pets! I really want to get my own dog or cat when I graduate college and realized I could get some more experience:) I had a dog my whole life and will care for your pets as if they were my own. I do live in a college house with three roommates but am still open to pet sitting in my home if you are.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life in Madison, Wisconsin. From the age of 11, I helped care for our family cockapoo — walking, bathing, playing, and regular trips to the dog park. I also cared for a miniature poodle with diabetes and administered insulin shots. In adulthood I cared for a cavapoo, German shepherd, Golden Doodle, papillon corgi, and boxmatian the same way, and I’ve done dog sitting for family and friends over the years. Dogs have always been part of my life, and that’s exactly why I take their care seriously. I’m available evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends. This makes me a great fit for after work walks, weekend adventures, or overnight sitting when you’re away. As I’m unable to have pets in my own apartment, I offer dog walking, house sitting, and pet sitting in your home — which is actually the best environment for your pet. They get to stay somewhere familiar, keep their normal routine, and feel comfortable in their own space. I treat every home with care and respect, and you can count on me to follow your pet’s usual schedule, habits, and any specific instructions you leave.
