House Sitting In North Lake Mendota

“Ruby did a great job taking care of our two labrador puppies (9 weeks and 9 months old). The pups seemed very happy and content when we came home.”

“Katy is so wonderful that I have to leave a second review. We’ve been going through a big transition and Katy continues to meet each of my boys where they are at. Her hyper awareness, consideration, and kindness allow me to travel and not stress about any of the boys.”

“Julia was so pleasant and professional! She asked great questions to prepare for her time with Princeton, and you could tell she really cared - Princeton warmed up to her immediately :) I highly recommend Julia and would definitely hire her again!”

“I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Elizabeth. She was so diligent about following Gus's routine, so great about keeping us updated on how things were going, and above all SO kind and understanding of our pups needs as a spicy/reactive dog. She left me completely at ease and able to relax on our trip. I am so glad we've found her and that our baby has someone he will not just be comfortable with, but excited to spend time with while we are gone!”

“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!”

Seb A.

“Tiana was amazing with our dog and the house was well cared for while gone for an extended period of time. She provided regular updates with pictures that were much appreciated when we started to miss our baby girl.”

Sylvia L.

“Sam took excellent care of my dogs and home. I was happy to get pics and updates, as well as to come home to a clean house. He even washed the bedsheets ? I recommend Sam for both house and pet sitting!”

Marit S.

“Sidney was amazing! She sent me pics and updates of my pup and took great care of him while I was away, I would 100% recommend her!!”

Hannah M.

“Maureen left our pup and house better than when we headed off for vacation. Great communication — responsive, but also gave us space to focus on our trip. I recommend her.”

Raphaella F.

“Julia did a great job caring for my dog, Louie, and cat, Callie! They both have health issues that require medication and Julie reviewed everything and gave them everything they needed. She also sent daily updates and pictures. I came home to healthy and happy pets and a clean home. I would definitely book with Julia again!”

Hailey L.

“Annmarie has watched Winston for us multiple times now. She really goes above and beyond to make sure our boy is well taken care of! Our pup is not an easy dog, and requires multiple attempts at walks and potty breaks. She's patient and caring with him - making sure all his needs are met while we're away! Not only does she take great care of Winston, she goes above and beyond to keep us updated while we're away. We're so grateful to have found such a wonderful pet sitter.”

Amanda F.

“We have used Tina multiple times when we travel. She does a great job with taking care of our dog and our house and we are confident he is well cared for when we are gone.”

Michele L.

“We (and our dogs) loved having Nicole sit for us. She is an excellent communicator and took care of our pups like they were her own. I’d absolutely have her stay with our dogs again—and based on their lukewarm reaction to us coming home, I think they’d like to see her again too. 🤣”

Kim B.

“Della was wonderful with our dog Lacy.”

Steve M.

“Tatyana is a reliable and caring sitter. She stayed at our house with our 11.5-year-old German Shepherd and provided excellent care, and tremendous peace of mind for us. Having worked at a kennel previously, she is comfortable around all types of dogs (and ours is a big boy). She sent periodic updates and followed our instructions well. We highly recommend her for short or extended care.”

Marlys M.

“Krista was great! She asked thorough questions and sent pictures throughout the day - no complaints!”

Erin D.

“Sophie was great with our Brittany and Lab. We had to book something last minute and she responded right away with her availability. Showed up on time and gave good updates with pictures of how the night was going with the dogs. We have a Brittany that has horrible separation anxiety. She did very well with Sophie after only meeting her for 5 minutes before we had to leave. I would recommend her to anyone needing a good dog sitter.”

About: Experienced house and pet sitter with eight 5-star references out of 9 sits I booked through Trusted Housesitters in 2025-26 (link below). I have had cats my whole adult life and fell in love with dogs while spending time with my siblings' dogs. I am now a fully converted dog lover who hopes to get my face licked by every passing puppy. Down-to-earth Midwest woman with lots of common sense. I was a homeowner for almost 25 years. I am not one of those people who looks at my phone constantly so your pet will get my attention, not just my presence. On long walks I may listen to a book on tape or podcast with only one ear bud so I am always situationally aware. No substance use or bad habits other than knitting and chocolate. I am in the process of getting direct testimonials but below are reviews copied from THS website (copy and paste link to view these live on the site.) ........?promo=RAF908909&utm_campaign=house-and-pet-sitters&utm_medium=house-and-pet-sitters&utm_source=copy Carol, Wheat Ridge, CO · 18 Jan - 02 Feb 2026 Christina was wonderful with Zappa. She sent daily photos and texts. She tried everything to get him to play, moved his “step” to her bed so he could sleep with her and spent most of her time with him. She left the house spotless and even lef5 a pot of homemade soup for us. Would highly recommend. Melanie, Verona, WI · 07 Jan - 16 Jan 2026 Christina was truly wonderful!! She gave so much love to each of my four babies, and they absolutely adored her company. She took my doggos for walks and sent me videos, they were so happy and excited! My two cats were super in love with her too and slept and cuddled with her. She was very organized, communicative, self-sufficient, and left my house in impeccable shape. She has a great sense of humor too! :) Thanks a million again Christina for your super precious help and for all the love you gave to my dearest precious fur babies. Hope we meet soon again! Melanie Verona, WI · 31 Dec 2025 - 01 Jan 2026 Christina is an amazing pet sitter! She is very thoughtful about pet care and clearly LOVES animals. She took super great care of my cats who immediately felt at ease with her and slept with her, even if one of my two cats is pretty shy. She was attentionate, loving with them and left my house in a great shape! She also sent me pictures which I greatly appreciated. Thanks a million again Christina for you super precious help! Melanie Annabel, Denver, CO · 26 Nov - 03 Dec 2025 Christina was great- Nelly was obviously very content when I got home and basically ignored me for the first day- always a good sign! She was very self sufficient and I didn’t worry at all while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her for future sitters! Emily Boulder, CO · 20 Nov - 26 Nov 202 We are so grateful for the care Christina provided to our dog, cat, and home. She went out of her way to meet with us in person before the sit which gave us peace of mind. Our shy cat warmed up instantly to her (thanks to the gifts Christina brought her) and we appreciated the pictures and videos she sent us. The dog got lots of walks and was well cared for. She was thoughtful and careful with our home and was willing to adjust her schedule at the last minute during the final day of her sit. She was communicative throughout. We’d welcome Christina back any time. Elaine, Dallas, TX · 30 Aug - 08 Oct 2025 It was a pleasure to have Christina at my house in Dallas for 5 weeks. She was organized before and during the sit and responded promptly to communication. The true sign of a good sitter is when my cat ignores me when I get home, and Duffy was pretty indifferent to my return! I know that he got lots of attention from Christina. She sent photos of him, and even bought him some new toys, which was very thoughtful. She also watered my 9tiny) yard, which i appreciated during an unusually hot September-october. Suzanne, Evergreen, CO · 12 Aug - 19 Aug 2025 Christina was wonderful. She checked in and was very responsible with the dogs. She was also very flexible!! James, Madison, WI · 18 Jun - 14 Jul 2025 Christina was amazing from the initial contact, right the way through to the visit. Christina was fantastic in both her communication, cleanliness respectfulness of the house, and (most importantly) looking after our 3 cats. In speaking with her prior to the visit and her care during the housesit, as well as all the pictures and videos we received while we were away, Christina was the perfect person to take care of our fur babies. I am available for day-time visits, or overnight care. Digital nomad so I am around a lot during the day, with a flexible schedule so I can meet your pet's needs first. I will keep tabs on them, put reminders for scheduled events on my phone, and check in with them frequently outside of scheduled care, and will contact the pet owner with any and all questions. I'm good at reading their cues, love to snuggle and play, I'm happy to have them sleep with me if they prefer. I'm strict about following owner's rules and instructions. I prefer to learn a little bit about your pet's personality, quirks, likes and dislikes to provide better care--and so I can tell quickly if something is a bit off. I will communicate with you as much or little as you like, happy to send pictures. I like to be able to ask questions to make sure that I understand your pet and its needs as well as your house and its needs.

About: I love dogs. My family has had dogs since I was a young kid. I also have experience as a dog sitter/walker for previous bosses. I'm a recent graduate of UW-Madison. Flexible schedule for at least the next three months. I am working another part time job with flexible hours. I would prefer notice for sitting bookings. I have experience with basic dog training, and have an authoritative manor when working with dogs, as well as really enjoying and having fun with dogs. I bike as my main transportation so I am very mobile in the summer/warm weather months. Ideally I'd like to have a regular walking/sitting schedule, but I'm happy to do overnights/dog sitting while owners are on vacation or need occasional help with their dog. I’m currently in between jobs! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule currently to add both daytime and overnight pet care needs. My schedule will continue to be flexible through summer 2026. I have a number of beautiful dog friendly trail locations that I like to take dogs for longer walks. Otherwise if you’re looking for a short walk I’m happy to take your pup around the block! Please let me know about any household rules or needs, and I’ll be sure to respect the household culture that I step into.

About: I have a very high level of knowledge and skills of how to take care of cats of any age and ability and enjoy spending time with all kinds of cats. I have much less experience with and knowledge of dogs but I'm very familiar with the basics of feeding and walking. Friends have described me as a cat whisperer and I like to think of myself as such. Not that I might not have challenges, but I know how to meet and vibe and care for them. I have completely open availability for the next month or so as I am unemployed living with friends and trying to establish myself here. I typically like doing care between the late morning and early evening, but anything can be talked about and arranged. I enjoy spending the day alongside animals, being attentive to their needs by taking them out for long walks, providing healthy snacks and cuddles through the day, and offering a calm energy to relax energetic or otherwise anxious pets. I am confident in caring for pets across a range of personalities, and am happy both giving pets lots of attention and energy and coexisting with more introverted pets.
