Pet care experience

Playful, responsible, dog lover!

I’m currently a graduate student at UW and looking for some pet-sitting opportunities—especially with dogs! I’ve been dog-sitting for about 6 years, mostly helping out friends and family. Now that I’ve recently moved to Madison, I’m excited to meet some new pups in the area! I grew up with Labradors and a Yorkie, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I really miss my dogs back home, so I’m hoping to spend some quality time with furry friends here in Madison. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cozy hangouts, I’ll treat your pets like my own!

Safety, trust & environment

I would prefer to watch the dog in your home as I rent my current home and it does not allow animals. However, when at your home I will make sure your pup is always happy and all of their needs are met. In terms of safety, I will always have them on a leash or in a gated area when needed.

House Sitting • Mar 09, 2026

Natalie was wonderful! This was our first time having her sit for us and she was very punctual, communicative, and respectful. We came home to happy girls. Would love to have her house sit for us again in the future ☺️

Natalie grew up having dogs and from the start has always had a natural love for animals. Through the years she has taken such great care of our own dogs. Loving every stage from puppy to an older dog. She’s responsible, gentle, and truly enjoys spending time with pets. She has patience and is reliable. I know any pet would be in great hands with her.

Schedule

My weekends are when I have the largest availability as I am a full-time graduate student. Pet sitting Thursday-Sunday or Monday is my ideal timeline but I am definitely open to week long care if I am able to make it work with my class schedule.
