About: I have cared for senior dogs and grew up with cats all my life. I believe that pets are family and I will love them as such I am currently working per diem so my schedule is what I make it. Currently would like to dedicate weekends to this and see how things go. I want to make sure I am respectful of the owners as well as the pets. So I will make sure to do whatever feels comfortable for all of us.

“Shikha is a wonderful pet owner! She currently has a pet cat named Chunni. In the time that I have known her, I have seen Shikha be an incredibly loving, affectionate, and caring human companion for Chunni. She has gone to incredible lengths to care for any of Chunni’s digestive issues she had when Shikha first adopted her, to supply her with toys and play with her, clean her litter box, and to keep the house clean in order to keep her as healthy as possible. I think she would be an incredible pet caregiver for your service.”

“Alex has been an amazing Pet caregiver. She has taken care of my Beagle Hound mix Chingri multiple times and Chingri loves her. She makes sure the pets stay engaged and happy and genuinely loves pets. I would highly recommend her for anyone's pets.”

“Anna is the most dependable and responsible person I know. Anna has watched and cared for my dog multiple times when my family goes on vacations and we always know my dog is in the best hands. She has such a love for animals and every animal she interacts with loves her right back. She is the ideal pet caregiver because she will treat your pet like your own and you will never need to worry.”

“Brenda did a PHENOMENAL job with Pablo :) this is my first time using Rover and I was a bit confused and anxious but Brenda helped me navigate SO smoothly. My dog Pablo gets along with everyone but I could tell from the photo she sent, he was SO happy and content :) I will absolutely be rebooking with her for Pablo’s future walkies”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and started taking on responsibilities of owning a dog at the age of 10. I also worked in an animal shelter for awhile taking care of both the cats and dogs by providing thorough cleaning to cages and walking dogs of all personality types. I mainly focused on cats in the shelter and learned a lot about them that I never knew; I understand their shyness, personable traits, and much more, which eventually led me to getting my own cat! Overall, I love hanging out and providing care to all animals. Soon, I will be starting a part-time job. I do not have my schedule yet, but when I do I will update that information. On days I’m off and before or after work I would be willing to provide care in any way. In my home, I would make sure the animal staying would have access to all the necessities: food, water, toys, treats and a comfy spot to lay down if they choose. I would also ensure dogs would be taken for walks or potty breaks every 2 hours. In a client’s home, I would stop by for 30min-an hour and provide the same care.

“The best”

“Thanks Elena. Very puntual and quick answer. Thanks to her Bruno took his exercise morning.”

“Calvin has been a tremendous help with walking our two dogs. He’s on time, has great communication and is very good with the girls. They anticipate when he’s about to arrive and get very excited to see him. Would highly recommend!”

“Oscar is a responsible young adult. He is a student at UW studying engineering and has lived with pets his entire life. He is a great choice for your dog if you want a hard worker that will give your dog the full attention it deserves!”

About: Hi there! I'm Katie, a passionate animal lover with 10 years of experience caring for a variety of pets, from puppies to cats and even feathered and scaled friends. I'm committed to providing them with the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. I also have experience in the veterinary field, and I am quite comfortable with administering medications and following any other special care needs your pet may have. I am currently a student and mom. Most of my availability falls during the day while my daughter is at school, but I am able to be flexible with advanced notice. If my schedule is blocked off during a day that you need care, please reach out! I may be able to fit you in depending on the circumstances. I treat all animals like I would treat my own. As the owner of a "flight-risk" dog, I take safety measures and precautions very seriously when it comes to walking and drop-ins. I also treat others' homes with utmost respect. I am willing to accommodate additional requests such as watering plants or retrieving mail; just ask me!

“I’ve known Sophie for a lot of years now and she had love for any and all pets that she interacts with. Her own, mine, other friends, all of them are cared for by Sophie. She has watched my cat a few times when I’ve gone out of town and she sends pictures and videos so we can see how he is doing and we know he’s ok. I highly recommend Sophie for your pet care needs, she is responsible and kind and intuitive with animal’s needs.”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and understanding of dogs. While I may not have professional experience, I've had the privilege of caring for my 9-year-old dog, Splash, which has taught me the importance of patience, trust, and routine. In addition, neighbors growing up asked my sister and I to care for their dogs which included, feeding, walking, and other general pet sitting responsibilities. I truly care about your dog’s well-being and will treat them like my own, providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment. I'm currently a full-time college student with two part-time campus jobs. My availability ranges depending on the day, but since I do not have a full-time job I can be available in the morning, mid-day, afternoon, or evening. Happy to work with you to fit the needs of you and your pet:). In my home or your dog's home, I prioritize creating a comfortable and safe environment. I will stick to routines that your dog is familiar with (feeding times, walks, playtime, etc.) to keep them feeling secure. My goal is to ensure they feel loved and cared for, just like they would with their own family. I currently live in an apartment in downtown Madison, therefore I do not have a yard for your fur baby to play in. However, I have a handy mom van with me to take to any pre-approved parks or any other destinations that you and I would discuss!

“I have known Manu for over a decade. I have seen her care for all kinds of animals - birds, guinea pigs, dogs, cats and more. Manu is exceptional with all animals as she has a genuine care and compassion for animal life in general. If you are looking for an intentional, reliable and overall amazing care taker for your loved fur child - she is a top notch choice!”

“Dustin has watched my cat, Gus, while I've been out of town, and he's an excellent caretaker (Gus clearly adored him). Dustin was responsive and communicative, and took great care of Gus. He also took care of my plants! I highly recommend Dustin as a pet-sitter. 10/10, no notes :)”

“Olivia took great care of our dog Lily. She went out of her way to meet us ahead of time to make sure Lily was comfortable with her. Olivia was also great in making sure Lily had everything she needed after/during her walks.”
