“I will have to book Jen again as my dog will sure miss her! She was wonderful and so easy to work with. Momo will definitely be sad she won’t see you as often. Thank you for all you do!”


“Our first time having Maggie care for our cats went great! After spending a year and a half working hard to integrate our two cat household, this was our first time leaving them alone together for more than a day, and one of our kitties needs daily anxiety medication to keep the peace. We were gone for 5 days and when we came back everyone was happy, healthy and the house looked just as it did when we left it. Will definitely be using Maggie again in the future if our schedules align!”


“Grace did an amazing job with our kitties, she sent pictures and updates everyday which we really appreciated while out of town. One of our cats who is usually very shy/timid loved Grace immediately! We also had cats who were still being introduced and needed to be kept separate while we were away, Grace made sure to give everyone plenty of attention while keeping them safe in their own spaces. I would absolutely recommend Grace to anyone looking for a cat sitter, and we will definitely consider rebooking with her in the future!”


“Communication with Annmarie was easy and clear and her updates were very appreciated. My cat and dog clearly had a nice time with her. Would definitely book with her again.”


About: I have experience taking care of a high medical needs cat. I also have experience with deaf and blind cats. I understand each pet is an individual and will adjust my care as I get to know them. Some pets love human interaction and others need their space. I’m absolutely ready to kiss and hug them or give them the distance they need to feel safe. Nothing like the smell of fresh litter in the morning! I am a cat mom to 2 playful, cuddly adopted babies. I recently became a volunteer at a cat shelter, which gives me so much purpose. I have a full time job Monday-Friday. I am looking to occasionally pet sit on weekends and early mornings on weekdays. Home is a sacred place. I will treat your pets and your space respectfully. I can send you all the photos you need to feel comfortable, or video call you. I am comfortable cleaning up after your pet, and giving them all the cuddles and words of affirmation they need while you are away.

About: Experienced caring for dogs of all sizes, along with house cats, rodents and reptiles. Particular experience with medium and large size dogs who are anxious/reactive. Rates lowered while I establish myself on Rover. I work from home, so your dog will get a lot of attention when I care for them (and they'll probably get a nickname or two). Walks, bathroom breaks, visits to the dog park, and lots of pets and ear scratches all fit into my daily and weekly schedule with ease. I am willing to book outside of my typical radius for an increased fee to offset mileage, gas costs, and time. I have a lot of experience with anxious dogs in particular, so am used to reading what a dog needs and wants with a close eye. I take care to make sure that a dog is comfortable with me, that I respect their boundaries, that I respond to their needs, and that we remove ourselves from any situation that might upset or overwhelm them. I often ask a pet owner for details about their dog's usual routine, any particular habits they have, their behavior on leash, and what gives them comfort. This helps me better respond to what the dog is sharing about their needs.

“Anne did a fabulous job!! Her sweet, calm energy put my anxious cats at ease. She did wonderful with my finicky instructions, sent helpful updates with pictures, and took great care with my girls. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing they were in good hands.”


About: Hiya! ~ I’m Natalee. Nice to meet you! Im a proud dog/cat lover and have a deep respect for animals of all sizes, shapes, and breeds! I spent my childhood caring for my neighbors dogs as well as the family pets. I’ve also cared for cats, Guinea pigs, snakes, and bearded dragons. In 2019, I adopted my three-legged rescue dog Link! Learning to care for an animal as an owner has taught me how to be a better human to myself and to others. I love living in pedestrian-friendly Madison. That means dogs everywhere! Anytime I see a dog out and about, it brings a smile to my face and brightens my day. I bring that same joy and care to every pup I meet, whether it's for a quick walk or quality playtime. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and make sure they have a fun, safe, and loving experience every time we're together. I’m currently working part-time on a flexible schedule. This means that I have plenty of time available to be there for your pet; even on short notice! Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities! I take all client instructions seriously—whether it's related to house rules, feeding, medication, or walking preferences. I'm committed to following your guidelines closely to ensure your home is well-kept after and that your pet feels secure and cared for. 💜

“Samantha is great with my dogs. I have one very shy dog and one super smiley dog and Samantha had them both super happy and excited to see her. She noticed one of my dogs was drinking a ton of water and let me know right away so I could keep an eye on it. She is a real treasure”


About: I have many animals that I have grown up with and have always taken a liking to care for them. I am working towards getting a degree in animal science. I am available for morning visits before 12 PM and evening visits after 6 PM. Perfect for breakfast feedings, evening check-ins, walks, or medication routines! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, keep a calm and pet-friendly presence, and ensure a clean, low-stress environment during every visit. You can trust me to treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect and care.

“Salem is an excellent sitter and responded to our last minute request for an extra care of cat sitting. Highly recommend, very reliable and communicative sitter. Thanks again, Salem!”


About: Happy, loving, patient and playful pupsitters who have experience working as kennel manager, dogsitter, and lifelong dog lovers. We love and care for all creatures big and small and happen to love dogs as though they were our own children (and they are.) My partner Jessie and I share all dog duties in our house. Someone is around the house every day of the week, as Jessie often works from home, and our two pups are always home. We strive to never leave our own pups alone for no more than 4 hours so there's always time and room for bathroom breaks. And if the weather is nice we leave the backyard door open for them to roam free (in a fenced area). It is the most ideal place for a dog to have room to move about, activities to entertain, and loving caretakers to help them live their best life. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space to roam, along with healthy wildlife distractions, fun toys, plenty of snacks, and generous room inside the house for everyone to feel cozy, warm or cool, and always nurtured.

“Sarah took such great care of Pita! We appreciated the cute photos and pet POV updates that let us know how much Pita was loving Sarah’s visits. I would 100% recommend Sarah for any pet care needs!”


“Anna did a wonderful job watching my kitties for me. I have 4 cats and so I was worried about finding someone who would be able to care for them all individually and be aware of their different personalities, but Anna left me with zero concerns while I was away. She is attentive, easy to work with, competent, and reliable. Anna is all you could ask for in a sitter!”


About: My wife and I have extensive experience with animals, having run dog boarding services and worked at dog daycares. I grew up with various animals, including six dogs, and have always cared for them with love and respect. We’re confident in handling any situation that may arise while caring for pets and treat them like family. Our multi-level home near Dane County Airport offers plenty of space for pets to play and relax, including a large backyard with a 6-foot privacy fence. My wife and I both have flexible work schedules, so someone is almost always home with our pups! We will try our best to accommodate any special needs for scheduling. We have a fenced in large yard and two friendly dogs to play with yours! We also have secure gates to section off our home if needed and multiple sizes of dog beds for relaxing and crates if your pup is crate trained and/or sleeps in a crate.

Mckenzie has been absolutely amazing with Gato & Abigail! She does check-ins three times a week and has been incredibly reliable and communicative every step of the way. I always get updates and pictures after every visit and it’s clear she genuinely cares about them. Having her checking on them puts our minds at ease. Highly recommend McKenzie to anyone looking for trustworthy and professional pet sitter.
