Pet Sitting Maple-Prairie

About: I have had dogs since my childhood and have worked with breeds of different sizes and backgrounds, including some with special needs. In my home life, I have two cats that I adore and spend much of my free time with. I’m available all day on weekends, as well as from 5:30pm onward on weekdays (typically). If you have specific requirements for your animal let me know and we can create a schedule that works best for you! I can perform any specific needs that your pet may need. One of my own pets has special medical requirements, so I am familiar with taking care of animals that need extra care.

“Natalie looked after my 9 month old kitten while I was overseas for 2 weeks, so I was naturally worried since I was away for so long. However she provided great updates and pics and was responsive. Was able to get along well with my cat even though he is naturally shy. Even bought litter since I forgot to restock until it was too late!”

“Ann did a wonderful job with our two cats while we were gone for 10 day! She was excellent at communicating, and sent great pictures each time she visited. Our cats were happy and content when we got home- a sure sign that Ann did very well with them!!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up with dogs, which taught me the importance of routine, exercise, and lots of love. Now I’m a proud cat owner of two, so I also understand how to care for more independent (but equally lovable!) pets. Whether your pet loves to play or just needs a calm, reassuring presence, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel at home. I work full time at UW Madison during regular business hours between 7:30a and 4:30p. I have a flexible schedule where I work from home twice weekly and at work 3 days. I care for your pets and your home as if it were my own. I treat the pets with the upmost love and care, and respect your home and privacy. I play with the pets if they are interested, and leave them be if not interested. Pets have bodily autonomy and I respect that. I’ll clean up a mess if I find one, and I’d let you know immediately if there’s an issue.

“Lauren was amazing with my cat! She sent updates and photos each day which made me feel so much better about being away. My fur baby warmed up to her very quickly. I highly recommend!”

About: Our kids LOVE dogs, they pretty much live for them. We can't have our own right now, so we want to love on yours while you're away! We've owned our own dogs, and both of the adults grew up taking care of and loving dogs. We're happy to help reinforce any training that you're doing with your pup! We work during the week, but we can spend the weekend giving full-time care to your dog! We are open to watching your pup during the week, but they would be home alone from about 9am-4:30 pm. Just send me a message if you need longer care than the weekend and we can discuss details! We have a fenced backyard with plenty of room for dogs to run and play fetch. We can offer plenty of outside time and bathroom breaks, we're happy to keep your pet on their typical schedule!

About: I love dogs! I grew up with dogs, as well as have a wide range of experience with caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with disabilities. My apartment at this moment does not allow for dogs, so I really am looking for some dogs to give some tender loving care to in the meantime! I am a teacher, so I am free afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends! I am a teacher- so afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends work for me! During the summer, I have a lot more flexibility as well. I am currently offering drop-in visits, as well as dog walking! I am looking for dogs to love on, as I can not have my own in my current apartment.

“Julia took wonderful care of our older, timid cat while we were away for the week. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Will definitely book with Julia again!”

“Daniel and Penny went above and beyond to make this an enjoyable experience for both me and my dog. They were very attentive and responsive. They took great care of my dog while I traveled. Will certainly book with them again!”

“Kira was wonderful with Winnie! I was worried to leave him at home because he’s a puppy but Kira did 3 drop ins in one day and made sure to play with our pup for the whole 30 minutes. She also followed our instructions to the dot. She is a very kind and loving sitter and I would definitely recommend her!”

“Janay was great with my two cats! They both warmed up to her very quickly and she sent me a ton of pictures each day. She did everything asked and even managed to make sure my cat with asthma got his inhaler everyday without issue. I came home to two happy and well cared for kitties”

Sarah S.

“Anaya went above and beyond to engage with my finicky cat and entertain her while I was away! She made me feel so at ease and shared lots of wonderful photos with me.”

“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!”

Nikita K.

“Grace did an amazing job with our kitties, she sent pictures and updates everyday which we really appreciated while out of town. One of our cats who is usually very shy/timid loved Grace immediately! We also had cats who were still being introduced and needed to be kept separate while we were away, Grace made sure to give everyone plenty of attention while keeping them safe in their own spaces. I would absolutely recommend Grace to anyone looking for a cat sitter, and we will definitely consider rebooking with her in the future!”

Brooke R.

“I always use Taylor as a sitter when I’m leaving town because I know she is reliable ! She always gives my cat the attention he needs while I’m gone !!”

Sabrina S.

“What was supposed to be a regular drop in visit turned into an emergency, our dog ended up getting into bag of Cosequin. Jess couldn’t have handled it any better. She called poison control for us, stayed on the phone with them for hrs, kept us updated the entire time. Then she even offered to stay the night with our dog to make sure he is ok. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to be there in the time of need. Definitely will be re-booking with her. Thank you Jess”

Jakub K.

“Really appreciated Erin’s prompt and clear communication. We were able to set up a meet and greet before the drop in as well so that was very helpful. Thank you for checking in on my sweet girl! We hope to see you regularly.”
