About: I’ve worked with dogs through volunteering at animal shelters for over 12 years. I have experience fostering dogs of all ages, and I am Fear Free certified. I don’t have a dog myself yet, so I’ll love and care for your pup as though they are my own! I work full-time, so I am outside of the home 8+ hours on weekdays. I can provide care in the morning before work and in the evening after work, and on weekends. I am available most holidays as well. I make sure to earn the trust of every animal I work with, which includes respecting their boundaries as we are getting to know each other. That being said, I’ll make sure your pet gets the food, exercise, and attention they need to feel safe and happy while you are away.

“Anaya was wonderful with our two dogs. She was always on time and provided timely responses to questions and updates on our fur babies. We would love to have her take care of our dogs again!”

About: I have experience working at Paw Pals taking care of cats and dogs. I have also raised and cared for hamsters, horses, birds and bunnys. I'm currently working part-time to only care for animals so I have plenty of time for your animals! Let me know when you need me and I will be there! They will get the time they need. ❤️ Your pet will have the whole downstairs to themselves and lots of play space. I have two friendly cats that are willing to be friends with your pets but they will be upstairs. There are multiple grassy areas to run around in around my condo and trails to walk your pet that will allow them to play in. Treats treats treats❣️

“Megan did a great job with Sami while we were away! We would definitely use her again!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, experienced pet owner, and former veterinary assistant who cares for both dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and patient with your pets. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, cleanup, and providing lots of love and attention while you’re away! 🐾 I work full-time during weekdays, so my availability is mainly evenings and weekends. I’m fully available on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and extended care, and I’m happy to help provide reliable, loving care around my work schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a former veterinary clinic assistant and experienced pet owner, I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any special care instructions to help your pets feel safe and stress-free. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to providing a calm, loving environment.

“Hannah has been amazing with my dog. He’s a bit anxious and she has been incredibly patient with him and is building a strong bond with him. Hannah has been super communicative and has been great to work with all around!!”

“I will definitely be booking Robert again, and highly recommend him to anyone! I was luckily enough to book him fairly last minute, and he was kind and willing to help. He walked my dog Daisy twice a day for a two day period. He always took daisy on her full 30 minute walk, and was very communicative, which I really appreciated. Additionally though, my lovely neighbor was telling me a few days later how she had loved talking to Robert. Unbeknownst to me, they had struck up a really nice conversation. It means something when you like your dog walker, but when your neighbor is raving about them, it means even more!”

“Very quick, responsive and accommodating. My pups were very happy! Will book again”

About: Hello my name is Stephany Dos Santos and I have both baby sat and walked dogs for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of a wide range of dogs including Yorkshire, Gold Retriever, Mini Australian Shepherd, Poodle, Chihuahua , and etc. What you would love about me is that with my different experiences I could handle any dog because I treat them equally and also as if they were people. I am available any time of any day and to walk or sit your dog! I am a very funny and energetic individual which makes it easier for me to get along with dogs and run around with them. I would really love to be there when you need me most! Thank you for reading my profile and I hope to meet you! I currently work in a lab, and my schedule is pretty flexible than most other individuals. I am typically at work from between 2 to 4 hours a day. I have the flexibility to leave work whenever I need to and then if I needed to come back I could. Therefore if I am staying over And I see myself being at work for more than six hours a day, then I would just split my day and half and go home and walk or feed whichever animal I’m working with, then head back to work. I currently live in an apartment complex. It does allow animals. There is a large park by my complex, which, if there were a dog with me, I would take them there. In my apartment itself I have a lot of toys and it is a safe environment

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I’ve always loved animals, and love sitting for them. I’ve walked and taken care of dogs from puppy to senior age. I love getting to know dogs and giving them the best care! I work at a coffee shop in Madison, but I am able to walk dogs before 7 am and after 3 pm. I’m very active, so I’ll make sure your pup gets good exercise! I am good at bribing hesitant dogs to go into a kennel if needed. I’m very detail oriented, so before I leave, I’ll make sure every door is locked, every food and water is filled up, and everyone is safe

“Michelle is great!! My dog is very shy and slow to warm up to people so I was worried about finding someone to walk him while we are at work but Michelle has been awesome!”

About: I worked in a dog grooming/doggy daycare facility for 5 years before becoming a hairstylist. I have worked with dogs across a wide range of breeds, ages, and medical conditions. I have been a cat owner for 10 years, and am certified in pet CPR. I work about 35 hours a week at ANiU Salon, so my availability is mostly evenings, weekends, and Mondays. I am willing to be flexible and work with others schedules! I only provide care in the client’s home (drop-ins, walks, and/or house sitting). I never board pets in my own home. When I’m in your home I will follow your instructions exactly. That includes: • Feeding on the schedule and with the portions you specify • Fresh water at every visit • Potty breaks, walks, and playtime based on what your pet needs and enjoys • Medication if required • Litter box or yard cleanup • Basic home care (locking doors/windows, bringing in mail, watering plants, etc. if you ask) I will treat your home with respect-I will leave it as clean and secure as I found it (or cleaner). I will stick to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they stay comfortable in their own space. You’ll get photo and text updates during every visit so you know exactly how they’re doing. Before the first booking we can do a Meet & Greet so I can learn their personality, any quirks, and your house rules. That way everything feels smooth from day one.

“Austin did a great job walking Carmello. He responded to a last minute booking and I couldn’t have been more happy with his services. Have already booked him again and hopefully more in the future.”

About: For the last two years I have been dog/house sitting. I have worked with single pet households as well as multiple pets at once. I am very flexible with time and have grown up with dogs and cats all my life! I am currently looking to sub in the MMSD so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can work around my schedule to make things work for you and your family! I like to keep pets close and under supervision. I love allowing them to run and play, but put safety above everything. I want to be energetic with them and have fun!

About: We are a family of four that wants to get a dog some day when our children are a bit older. We have two daughters aged 9 and 5. We love to do dog sitting so we can still enjoy a dog in our home. I am a high school teacher and my wife stays home 3 out of 5 days/week with our two young daughters. My wife grew up with Labradors and I grew up with Maltese and Terriers. We cannot wait to have our own dog again. Will your dog be the one to convince us of what type of dog we want for our family? We look forward to meeting you and treating your dog like they are part of our family! Because we do not currently have a dog and only take one dog at a time, your dog will be very well cared for and receive tons of attention and affection! **once in awhile, we may have two bookings that overlap slightly depending on pick-up/drop-off times, but if that happens we will communicate that with you! My wife is home Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays with our daughters. On Mondays and Tuesdays, we are gone from 8:30-4:00. If that is too long of a period for your dog to go without a potty break please let us know! I am a teacher at Memorial highschool (just 5 mins from our home) and can easily come home during my lunch break for a quick dog walk! We have a fenced in yard for your dog to explore. Otherwise, we will let your dog roam anywhere in the house! If needed, we have baby gates and are able to section off parts of our home.

About: I work as an ICU RN and even though this entails humans, I extend my knowledge to animals. It allows me to identify and problem solve health and behavioral issues, with the tools to create solutions. I genuinely offer compassion to all animals, not just cats/dogs. I give my time, respect and patience. I have taken care of all kinds of pets; different species, breeds, sizes, temperaments, and needs, ever since I was a child. My childhood home was always filled with an abundance of animals (& also reptiles, aquatic life and arachnids). I look forward to meeting your extended member of the family! :D The perk of being a RN is that I only 3 days a week. This leaves me extra time during the week for other activities. I am an animal lover, so what better way to fill a few hours of time than with more furry friends! I will not be doing boarding at my own home. I will however treat your home with respect and follow guideline for providing the best care for your fur baby!

About: I am a cat and dog lover! I have about two years of pet sitting experience. I grew up having cats and now have two of my own that are 2 and 3 years old. I am very reliable, organized, punctual, patient, and flexible. I recently finished grad school and am so excited to have time to get back to pet sitting! My cats are like children to me and I will take care of your pets like they’re my own. My priority is to keep your pets happy and keep you satisfied as a customer! I have a very flexible schedule and can do 30-60 minute drop-in visits or dog walks at any time throughout the day. I only offer drop-ins at this time due to also having my own cats at home. I offer drop in visits in your home where I will feed, clean up after, and play with your pets. I understand the importance of keeping pets entertained while their humans are away and I will spend time doing their favorite activities with them!
