House Sitting Monticello

“Melissa was absolutely fantastic! She took such wonderful care of Max while we were away, and it was clear he had an amazing time with her. She is incredibly kind, caring, and truly loves the pets she looks after. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Max was in such great hands. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Growing up, my family always had dogs and cats. Today animals continue to be an important part of my life. I'm a board member of a local humane society and volunteer weekly at the shelter. I also help with low-cost spay/neuter clinics, where I've worked with cats and dogs of many ages, sizes, personalities, and comfort levels. I know every dog is different. Some want long walks and lots of playtime. Others prefer a slower pace and plenty of affection. I take the time to learn your dog's routine, personality, and needs so they can feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Friends and colleagues describe me as dependable and patient. I pay close attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship or simply a familiar routine, I'll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, happy, and loved, and for you to have complete peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work as an entrepreneur and consultant, which gives me flexibility to schedule visits, walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day. Because I manage my own schedule, I'm often able to accommodate pets who need consistent care, medication reminders, multiple daily visits, or extra attention while their families are away. I intentionally limit my commitments so I can provide dependable, personalized care rather than rushing between appointments. When I accept a booking, I make your pet's wellbeing a priority. I'm happy to provide overnight house sitting in your home. Many pets are most comfortable staying in their familiar surroundings, keeping their normal routines, and receiving one-on-one attention in a place they know and trust. When caring for your pets, I'll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any other routines that are important to your household. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can stay connected and know how your pets are doing while you're away. I understand that hiring a house sitter means trusting someone with both your pets and your home. I take that responsibility seriously. I'll treat your home with care and respect, keep things tidy, and leave everything as I found it so you can return home to happy pets and peace of mind.

“Maddi was excellent! She sent us regular updates and was very professional. Maddi made sure our dogs and house were well cared for while we were away.”

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and cats for the past 15 years. Animals bring me so much joy and happiness. If we work together, I will treat your fur baby like one of my own. I work Monday-Friday first shift, but I can do lunch break check-ins/walks and weeknights and weekends. Let’s discuss! I can likely make it work! :) I can provide walks around the l neighborhood, as well as, moderate hiking at parks around town. I am also open to taking dogs to the park and playing fetch.

“Rhandee did a great job with our pups and was very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dogs prior to our trip, which was super appreciated. We would definitely book her again!”

About: I have grown up on a mini sheep farm which we shown and exhibited all of these animals including chickens, ducks, rabbits and sheep at the local fair. And of course we had a guard dog to protect our animals. I have dog sit multiple times before by just helping out my friends and family, now I am excited to meet some new pets! I am a UWSP student with long breaks in between semesters. During the breaks I come back home to visit my family and to work. Each week is a little bit different for me, but I will always have time for your pets! One of my favorite things to do with pets (mostly dogs), is to take them on a walk and enjoy the nice outside with them!

“Amber was able to watch my two dogs at my home with very short notice. She was very responsive, kind, and easy to work with. I came home to two happy pups after a weekend away and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

Hannah S.

“Ella was great for our first experience with Rover. She was quick with responses and sent us updates (including pictures!) while stopping in to watch our dog. Would highly recommend and book again!”

Ashley P.

“Hanna communicated regularly and left the space as she found it.”

Wade U.

“Tucker did a great job watching Zoe & Mocha - regularly sent photos, provided updates from each visit, and was very communicative in providing care.”

Eric L.

“Leo did a great job taking care of Smokey (our cat) and house sitting. We will book with him again when the need arises.”

Tracy H.

“We all loved Allison! The boys were well taken care of! She left my home perfect! Thank u Allison i will definitely ask u again for Sailor and Bear!”

Cynthia J.

“Talia did a great job sitting for my dog Koko and she was very responsive in her messaging replies”

Kyle C.

“Amanda was a godsend when our house sitter cancelled last minute. We met her first then her with her dog, Sedona, and I knew right away this would work out really well. You see my dog, Millie, doesn’t warm up to people easily and doesn’t always play nice with other dogs but Millie instantly liked both of them. Amanda stayed at our house along with Sedona, so Millie was spoiled having her two new friends stay with her. They went on many walks and Amanda sent me lots of pictures while we were gone. I will definitely use Amanda again!”

About: I lived on a farm when I was a little one. Later, I was a trusted house sitter for relatives when they traveled (watching the home and taking care of 2 dogs and 2 cats). I owned my own cat for 15 years. I've taken care of farm animals but not on a regular basis. I'm competant with delivering meds and being really careful with senior pets and those needing special care. I'm one of those people who talk to pets like they are people. I can be there for the extra play and snuggles puppies need, but I think the initial potty training should be by their owner. I carefully listen to the owners and what their schedule is like. Then I morph my schedule to be very close to that so the routine is similar with me and their pet. I adhere to the pet owners instructions. I make myself available for the pet so we learn to trust each other. I show lots of affection, if the pet wants to receive it. If not, I can give them space.

About: I’ve loved dogs since I can remember. Since my parents are allergic I could not own one growing up so I volunteered walking all different sorts of dogs at our local shelter. Along with that, I’ve dog sat most of my life and brought shelter dogs on road trips and many other fun adventures. I work nights at Starbucks, so I have mornings, early afternoons, and nights open ( as I only work until 7:45pm) ! I have three days off a week to go on adventures, and looove being outside! Making a pet feel comfortable and loved is so so important. Any instructions are always followed and I love being able to create my own bond with the animal as well!

About: I am currently working towards becoming a dog trainer, with experience working with multiple dog sizes and breeds. Recently certified in dog CPR/first aid, and have experience with puppy training. Experience with senior dogs. Our family had to say goodbye to our 12-year-old Golden Retriever, Frank “The Tank,” last January. By the end of his life, he had peripheral neuropathy in his hips, an eye taken out due to stage 2 glaucoma, high blood pressure, and ear drops given constantly because of food allergy flare-ups. I have experience with dogs that have mobility problems, food allergies, and administering ear medication/ear canal cleanings. I have dog handling experience, some dog behavioral issue experience I also want to clarify, it states “no children present.” The questionnaire ask if there were children present under a certain age. My youngest is 15-years old. Most services require a two-week notice due to my work schedule, but walking dogs is a bit more flexible. Currently, I can't offer dog boarding because of my commitments. When I sit at my place all day and board, I have a fenced-in backyard. I would be outside with them because of our inground pool. The house has hardwood floors/laminate. I throw area rugs down for dogs who have mobility problems or trouble getting up after lying down

“She did a wonderful job. Sent daily updates and respected the house. Even delt with my nosy neighbor. Will be using her for future dog sitting!”

Jessica S.

“Ana did a great job with Willow. She pictures daily and reassured me Willow was good. Ana is professional and loving. Ana was also very flexible with me when I needed an extra night last minute. I will definitely be booking with Ana again!”

Pam S.

“Once again, Jesse is incredible with our pets. She cares for them just like we would, and I couldn’t leave them with anything less than that level of love and care. Thank you Jesse for being awesome!”
