Top rated McFarland house sitters

“We had last minute plans and Katie came to our rescue! One of our dogs just had a minor surgery and one was full of energy - and both were well taken care of during our day trip. Thank you!!”


“Marcia was fantastic! She was very communicative before, during, and after her stay. She sent lots of pictures of the dogs. Bonus: she cleaned the entire house before I got home. So unexpected, but truly appreciated after so many days away from home. Our dogs love her and are already asking when she can come back to play!”


“We had Travis stay with our dog again, and it was seamless. He is so conscientious and considerate. Our dog loves him and again the house looks great! I highly recommend him!”


“Stephanie took excellent care of my diabetic dog who had some surprise additional restrictions after a tooth removal earlier that week. Additionally, she left my house spotless.”


“Mary came to meet me and Rory the week that I was leaving so I could show her where things are and to get Rory comfortable with her. She was on time, attentive, and asked questions (Rory loved her right away). When I was on my trip she messaged me that she made it to my place, sent me pictures of the things they did, and let me know Rory had some digestive issues that we were able to fix. When I came home she left me detailed notes of her time, and the most amazing drawing of my dog Rory. I will be rebooking! Thanks Mary!”


“Coral was excellent! She was communicative and reliable, and sent lots of pictures. Oatmeal seemed to really like her almost immediately, based on how cuddly she looked in pictures. This was our first time leaving the cat with a sitter and Coral was a great choice.”


“Appreciate Jolie's diligent care for my buddies while I was away. Communicated well and tended to each of my dogs specific needs. Would be happy to have her back the next time I need a sitter.”


“Sophie was amazing with my dog, Skye, who is a rescue husky (and is therefore VERY anxious)! Sophie made her feel at ease really quickly and I could tell how happy Skye was from the pictures she sent! I missed her a lot but knew she was having fun and making a new friend in Sophie! I will absolutely book her again and recommend her VERY highly!”


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.

About: I have three trained dogs of all sizes and ages (a 8yr old cocker, a 14 yr old lab, and a 7 month old st. bernard). My furry babies are friendly with children and other dogs. We frequently explore the McFarland dog park so let me know if you feel comfortable with bringing your pup along! Otherwise I have a good sized, fenced in backyard for the animals to stretch, run and play. I am a special education teacher for elementary aged students. Over summer months I focus my time and energy on my kiddos and dogs. We love the outdoors! I will have plenty of flexibility and time to work around your pups' toileting and exercise schedule. Willing and able to follow your individualized needs for your fur baby. I am very present (especially during summer months when I am not teaching) so can make sure your pup is getting all the love and attention they deserve.

“Amanda was amazing and worked wonderfully with our pets, we will definitely be using her services again!!”


“Jessica was the perfect dog sitter! We needed a house sitter on short notice and she really came through. The dogs loved her and I felt so comfortable leaving them with her. She introduced her dog Maya to ours and everyone got along great. Highly recommended!”



“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.”


“Absolutely amazing! My dogs love her and she handled all 3 labs like a champ! Very grateful for her!”


“Kim was a great pet sitter for our 2 dogs and cat! She was super communicative and responsible. We will definitely book with her again the next time we’re in need of a pet sitter.”


About: Hi! My name is Shikha and I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for the past 8 years. I work from home and am centrally located in Madison- my schedule can be as flexible as you need! Mainly I do house sitting, visits, and dog walking, but feel free to ask if you have some special needs. I love growing with my pet parents and being a part of their lives. I’ve met so many people through my years of pet sitting and would love an opportunity to bond with you and your baby. I do have a small cat of my own and if she could talk, she’d tell you how much I spoil her! Your pet would be treated just as well as she is. ❤️ If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to send me a message. I currently work full time from home, so I can flex my hours and visit when necessary! I am also open to house sitting and visiting at odd hours. I will try and visit once prior to taking care of your pet to get a feel for how you care for them. With cats I am happy to groom, feed and play with them to their hearts content. As for dogs, I’ve been known to walk a few miles to tire even the most energetic lab out!

“Ann did a fantastic job dog sitting our very high energy and dog-reactive pup in our home for five days! She sent so many pictures and we could tell our pup was content/happy and so well taken care of. Ann also reached out to ask clarifying questions when needed and was very responsive. I highly recommend Ann!”


“Robert did a great job watching Sadie while we were out of the country for a week. He sent updates every day along with pictures. She looked so happy on her walks and when he was just hanging out with her. I recommend Robert!”


“Abby is truly the best!! We felt so comforted knowing our boys were cared for and loved by Abby while on vacation. Our cats are NEEDY and she was there for them in every way. She was super responsive and sent frequent adorable updates. She handled an unexpected difficult behavior situation between the boys calmly and wonderfully. We returned to a sparkling house with two healthy and happy cats!! We’re so grateful for Abby’s help and would book her again in a heartbeat. Can’t recommend her enough! Thank you!! ❤️”


“Terry was amazing with my dogs. She sent cute pictures, kept me updated, and took them for a couple walks a day. When I came home, I was surprised that my bed had new sheets on it and she had washed the ones that were on the bed. She also made sure the house was clean. Counters were washed off, dishes were in the dishwasher and more. I would definitely recommend booking with Terry.”
