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
“I messaged Whitney at the absolute last minute because I realized I forgot to get someone to check in on my kitty while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. Whitney replied quickly and said she’d be happy to help while we were away— what a relief! She was great and my skittish cat was happy to come out and get some pets from her. Will definitely book Whitney again!”
“Austin is a dream walker! I got about 20 adorable pictures a day, all wallpaper and insta worthy ? He looked after my boisterous boy with enthusiasm, care and diligence. I cannot wait to plan my next vacation only so that newton and Austin can have more time together! ❤️ thank you so much, Austin!”
“Thank you so much, Taylor, for the great and smooth check in for our guys. We’re excited to have connected & to use you in the future as well! 🤗”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life—and my heart! I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and naturally gravitate toward animals wherever I go. I regularly dog sit for friends and family, caring for everything from tiny pups like Shih Tzus and Frenchies to gentle giants like Great Danes and Mastiffs. While I can’t have dogs where I live, I share my home with two sweet cats, so I’m just as comfortable caring for feline friends too. I truly love them all and can’t wait to meet—and spoil—your beloved fur babies! Even with a full-time job, I make time for what I love—caring for animals! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to do drop-ins, walks, and quality time with your pet during the week. I’m also available for weekend or weekly stays, giving your fur baby consistent care and companionship while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy. I believe pets are happiest in their own familiar space, so I focus on caring for them right in the comfort of their home. I adapt to their unique routines and needs—whether that means being a cuddle buddy at night, supporting crate training, or sticking to their daily walk schedule. I’m happy to handle medication, give treats (with permission, of course!), and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whatever your pet needs, I’m there to meet them with patience, attention, and heart.
