“Jolie has been super helpful. She loves animals and cares about them. She also respects and meets pet owners' needs. I couldn’t be happier with booking her. She is taking care of my babies, and I will definitely work with her again in the future.”
“Laura is amazing!! Responds super quick and I felt so at ease knowing she would take great care of my young puppy who requires a lot of attention! Couldn’t have asked for anything better!”
“Went with Sabrina again! She does such a great job with my picky, old toy poodle lol. Chewy takes a while to warm up to people so I'm glad he is in good hands with Sabrina. Was a no-brainer going with her and I recommend her!”
“My dogs really like Allegra and she seems to be great with them too. She was great during our meet and greet and spent time to get to know the pups. Will hire again for sure!”
“She did such a good job with my cats. I had one who recently had teeth pulled, so both of my cats were getting fed largely different diets. She was able to manage them both. Also my very shy cat was even comfortable coming out to see her every day. Highly recommend”
About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn and I’ve lived with dogs for almost 20 years! I’ve helped family, neighbors and friends with pets of all ages, sizes and personalities. My experience has provided insight into how to comfortably care for most pets! I’m currently working at a dental clinic in the Madison area from Monday - Thursday. While work days can be busy, I can be readily available for drop-ins and walks over the lunch hour if needed. There is a large open field behind my apartment that is used by many dog owners to let their fur babies have some freedom throughout the day
“Taylor did great checking on our cats for a few days. Super fast to respond to messages and very kind, we really appreciated knowing our cats were in good hands.”
“Annie was great with Maggie! She was very responsive and gave updates on Maggie whenever I asked. I am really appreciative of her care of Maggie.”
“Ashley is amazing. We’ve been having her visit with our cat Todd for over a year. He is becoming more high maintenance as he ages and now she’s been on puke duty and hasn’t questioned things one bit. She is easy to talk to and always keeps us in the loop. I highly recommend booking with her for any of your pet sitting needs.”
“Was very quick and easy set up, especially with the key swap and her flexibility with everything. Appreciated her reaching out about pets concerns to be on the safe side. She also was very good about pricing.”
About: I grew up on a farm here in Dane County and have experience looking after many species: large animal, small animal, fish, reptiles, birds, and of course cats and dogs! I have officially been petsitting since 2018 but have watched the pets of friends and family much longer than that. I received my degree in Animal and Veterinary Biosciences from UW Madison in 2023 with an emphasis in nutrition, and I worked at a pet food store for 6 years previous to that, so I am happy to accommodate any special feeding requests. I own two large protection breed dogs myself, but have also owned and petsat small breed dogs, so I have no size or breed exception. I am happy to work with reactive dogs as long as you help me to have a thorough understanding of what scares/upsets them. Please reach out to me if you have any questions! I am happy to do overnights, stay long term, or do just quick drop ins. I currently am working 8:30-5 M-F so I am typically unavailable during those hours. I am happy to do overnights, long term stays, drop in visits, or walks I make sure to go over all of the owners requests and requirements and to follow all rules. I am clean and tidy and will leave your house as I found it.
About: I have experience with all types of pets, from high-energy companions to more laid-back, relaxed ones. Growing up with dogs, working as a social worker at a veterinary clinic, and being a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to provide your pet with the love and care they deserve. Every pet has its own unique personality, and I’m here to cater to their individual needs—whether your dog requires an extra-long walk or your cat needs brushing and nail trimming. I’ve got you covered! I work from 8:00-4:30 most days of the week. I’m available for walks and drop in visits at any point on the weekends. I can also make walks and drop in visits work anytime before and after my workday during the week. For all services, whether it's walking your dog or housesitting, I like to gather all the details. I understand that you’re trusting me to take care of your pet, and I want to make sure I meet your expectations. To do this, I'll learn about your pet’s routine, how they behave during walks, their personality, and any special care instructions that will help make the experience better for everyone involved.
“Robert was great with our German Shepherd. Our dog can be shy with new sitters, but Robert was patient with her and treated her well. I would recommend using him as your sitter.”

Orchard Ridge Community pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ann continues to be a top choice for me when it comes to finding a sitter for my 13 year old cat who has several medical needs. She has always left my home better than she found it, going as far as washing dishes in the sink that I left behind. She provides the most through, heartwarming updates, and is extremely punctual and reliable. As someone who feels immense guilt leaving my pet(s) behind, I feel much more at ease knowing Ann will take excellent care of him. Thank you so much, Ann!
Natalie cared for my cranky kitty Ozzie with so much confidence and enthusiasm! She graciously accepted an unexpected change in our schedule at the last minute. I will definitely request her services again and highly recommend her to anyone as a caring and compassionate sitter. Thank you so much Natalie!
Dietrich has been a wonderful caretaker for my dog Coco. For the last year and a half he would visit her at lunch during the week and feed her plus take her on a nice little walk. His daily reports and funny stories made me smile while I was at work! He would let me know if he had a schedule conflict well in advance. I appreciate that Coco and I could work with him!
