“Drew is the best!!! Wilson loves him! We have been over several times he literally drags me to the door with excitement when we arrive:) I always have peace of mind leaving Wilson with Uncle Drew, anytime we go to Madison we will definitely re book.”


“I just can't say enough about how amazing Sarah and Zach are and how much it means to us to have our active social 1 1/2 year old lab in their care. They understand him, take care of him as one of their own and make it so easy to coordinate and communicate.”


“Megan was absolutely wonderful! Very friendly and I loved the updates. Lazlo was very Happy and had a Fun day 🐕🦺😃 Will Definitely be a repeat client!!”


“Our dog Halla is a rescue dog and he is very scared and nervous around new people. Robert has watched him few times and I am grateful that he understands that Halla needs time and space to get to know him. I am sure Halla will be in good hands when our family goes on a vacation this summer.”


“Truck had a blast and was very well taken care of. She sent photos and updates the entire time, and it made the entire experience really easy. Thank you!!”


“We were lucky to have Cynthia as our dog sitter. Cynthia and her family were able to watch our dog Gary on short notice, which made us really happy. Right from the beginning, Cynthia communicated with us well and was very friendly and understanding. We felt comfortable leaving Gary with Cynthia. She sent regular updates with photos and wrote a lovely Rover card at the end, filled with pictures and lots of details. It was so thoughtful and sweet. We would definitely recommend her to others without hesitation. Cynthia is professional, kind, and genuinely loves dogs. Thank you for taking such great care of Gary and being an outstanding dog sitter!”


About: Hi there! My name is Heather and I have two very mellow well behaved dogs. We go to dog parks almost every day and love to socialize. If you are looking for someone to trust with your animals, I am the perfect person. I treat my dogs like they are my children, and I would do the same with yours. The type of dogs that would be perfect in our home would be those that are not aggressive or very high energy unless they are puppies!! I am on summer break from college, so I have a bunch of free time when I’m not working. Anytime I do work, I have a dog walker come take my girls on exercise. Currently my schedule allows me to host your babies Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and saturdays My girls are extremely spoiled!!! Weekly pup cups, pupsickles, dog parks and daily walks for exercise and stimulation, also lots of dog cuddles and new toys from bark box 🤗 my backyard overlooks a gorgeous pond so there’s tons of deer, geese and bunnies to watch If your furry friends need a walk while you’re at work or you just need me to drop by, I am more than happy to do so.

“Emily was great with Remy! Very nice and responsive to messages. Looking forward to booking again soon!”


“Briana is such a kind and empathetic individual! Although my doggy day care was last minute, I felt reassured that Semi was in good hands. Truly someone you can trust with your pups!”


“Suellen did a great job understanding our puppy and her need to get adjusted to new surroundings and pets. Good job with feeding, pics and walks.”


About: I grew up training and showing dogs and will always have a soft spot in my heart for them, especially seniors! I pet-sit for friends and family regularly, and recently decided to open my home to some new furry friends that will keep me company while I work from home. I work from home regularly and love to have a companion during the day, especially for lunch time walks. Overnight boarding works great too with my flexible schedule! I will do my best to follow your dog's regular schedule so that they are comfortable! I can easily let dogs out during the day. I have experience giving dogs medicine (usually a marshmallow or some cheese will do the trick!) As I'm home all day, I could accommodate a dog with separation anxiety.

“This is the 2nd time Haley has watched Pancho and I always feel at ease knowing he’s in good hands. She’s kind, reliable, and sends updates which I really appreciate. I can tell he has a great time every visit! I highly recommend. Thank you Haley, we appreciate you.”


“Julie was very friendly and accepted our booking late the night before we needed her to look after our dog. She took great care of Truffles and sent us plenty of photos throughout the day.”


“Remy seemed to really enjoy his stays with Jessica. Easy to communicate and really helped me in a pinch!”

“I'm thrilled I found this family to take care of my chocolate lab. Came to Madison for a wedding looking to find someone to wear out my dog. I sure did find great family. They have nice size property for her to run around, toys , and a bonus kiddie water pool. I picked her up and she fell asleep right away before we made it too the hotel. Thank you. I will use them again whenever I'm back in Madison.”


“We are not from Madison, but just in town for one evening. Meghan’s communication was excellent from the beginning to the end. We talked about our situation and what we needed for care later in the evening. Meghan provided fantastic care for Moose - playing lots of fetch and helping him with his nervous separation. She took and shared lots of photos and brought him on 3 walks. Her profile was thoughtful and drew us in - we knew she would be the perfect fit. We are thankful for her hospitality and letting us park our car in front of her house while we were in town for a football game. If we are in the Madison area again, we will hire Meghan to hang out with Moose. Thank you! ??”
