“Julie was great! Communication was easy and timely, and she was very attentive and thorough in caring for our kitty and our place. She went above and beyond and we’ll be contacting her again for sure! Highly recommended.”
“My usually super shy cat was comfortable with Krista. Krista was good about asking questions and following medication instructions. She was thorough in her notes for the check ins, which was nice while I was away. I can tell that she my cat got enough attention because she didn’t seem attention starved when I came home. I definitely plan on rebooking again”
“I had an excellent experience with Kylie! She was professional, communicative, and provided top-notch care for my cat while I was on a weekend trip.

“Seán and Leticia took great care of my sweet boy! They were super responsive and friendly, so I never had to worry about anything while I was away!”

About: I am a dog mom of two very anxious and reactive rescue pups (both under two year olds). I have experience administering oral medication and handling severe dog anxiety. I am patient and cautious, and overall want your pet to have the best experience. I am a real estate agent, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I happy to spend 15-30 mins checking in and walking your furry friend during the day or evenings. I just ask for a 48 hour heads up so that I can coordinate my schedule. If you live nearby, and would like your pet to have some off-leash enrichment time, I have a fenced in yard with plenty of sniff spots!
“Was very quick and easy set up, especially with the key swap and her flexibility with everything. Appreciated her reaching out about pets concerns to be on the safe side. She also was very good about pricing.”
About: I grew up on a farm here in Dane County and have experience looking after many species: large animal, small animal, fish, reptiles, birds, and of course cats and dogs! I have officially been petsitting since 2018 but have watched the pets of friends and family much longer than that. I received my degree in Animal and Veterinary Biosciences from UW Madison in 2023 with an emphasis in nutrition, and I worked at a pet food store for 6 years previous to that, so I am happy to accommodate any special feeding requests. I own two large protection breed dogs myself, but have also owned and petsat small breed dogs, so I have no size or breed exception. I am happy to work with reactive dogs as long as you help me to have a thorough understanding of what scares/upsets them. Please reach out to me if you have any questions! I am happy to do overnights, stay long term, or do just quick drop ins. I currently am working 8:30-5 M-F so I am typically unavailable during those hours. I am happy to do overnights, long term stays, drop in visits, or walks I make sure to go over all of the owners requests and requirements and to follow all rules. I am clean and tidy and will leave your house as I found it.
“Austin is a dream walker! I got about 20 adorable pictures a day, all wallpaper and insta worthy ? He looked after my boisterous boy with enthusiasm, care and diligence. I cannot wait to plan my next vacation only so that newton and Austin can have more time together! ❤️ thank you so much, Austin!”
“Completely amazing and super professional. He was a hero with our youngest rescue who bit him 👀 (unbelievably sorry) Great updates and photos.”
“Wonderful job! She is very kind, thoughtful, and caring.”
About: I've taken care of my small fluffy Shih Tzu, Ginger, since I was ten years old. I have always loved taking him on walks, running around outside, and playing together. I also have experience pet-sitting my neighbors two medium sized Golden Doodles over the past few summers! In addition, my boyfriend's family has adopted multiple rescue dogs that I have had the opportunity to care for and help them get adjusted to a new space. I am a recent graduate from Emory University looking to spend some time with dogs. I have lots of free time to give lots of attention and love to any dog! I am currently only offering services in client homes only right now, as I live in a smaller apartment. I can definitely adjust to whatever you are comfortable with!
