We are so lucky to have found Ashley. She goes above and beyond to care for our pups. Whether it’s a walk or just a drop in to feed and to take out for potty time, Ashley is patient and gives thorough reports of her visits. We have used her services many times now and will continue booking with her in the future. She really gives us peace of mind knowing our dogs are in good hands.

Bethany is so fantastic! We had her checking in on our 2 cats while we were away and she brought us so much peace of mind with her report cards and photos. She is so kind and friendly and took extra time to get photos of our nervous older cat that usually hides from visitors. Thank you Bethany for being our kitties caregiver and friend while we were away!

About: I've always been a huge dog lover, tried to take in every stray as a kid, I grew up around dogs like basset hounds, Labradors, poodles and beagles. I've dog sat for boxers who think they're lap dogs, I've sat for younger pups, middle aged dogs, senior dogs, small dogs and big dogs! I go on frequent walks, play tug a war, play fetch, snuggles and affection. Give dogs medication if they need it, whatever makes the dogs happy! I'm very fond of cats as well I love all the different cat personalities and just being able to have some calm moments and snuggle with them. I'm a wife, mom and accountant by day but Thursday-Sunday I have more flexibility to soak up extra pet snuggles. Watching other people's precious pups/cats allows me more animal loving time. I treat all pets just like I would my own pup or kitty cat lots of snuggles, a few treats, safe walks making sure harnesses or leashes are properly worn and make sure they are always in a safe environment.

She took amazing care of our dogs for 5 days, coming every day and spending a full hour playing with them and making sure they were happy and well cared for. She is reliable, kind, and our dogs absolutely adored her. We would highly recommend her!

About: I have been an animal lover ever since I can remember! I worked at Sondel Family Vet & absolutely loved it! I had to unfortunately leave due to having my first child. I always enjoyed spending my days interacting with owners and their pets to make sure they were provided with the best care (While also giving them extra love.) I have also had many pets throughout my life; including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs & bearded dragons. I even recently fostered my first dog who got adopted a few weeks after I took her in! I have worked on farms with cattle & have also taken many equine classes at UW-Madison. So yes, I have quite an extensive resume working with animals! Our evenings & weekends are usually always open. I am a student on break until January 20th. I also work in the evening, but am willing to schedule around this time! Nothing is too much of an ask for your babies! I will always follow directions attentively while also treating them like my own. I also have a 2 year old which will end up needing to tag along with me sometimes. So we know to have boundaries when it comes to her. I am aware of how to safely introduce them as long as you are comfortable having your pup around her.

We’re so grateful you were able to take Ellie out for us and give her extra love while we were gone. We were crazy busy so I didn’t get to message you last night, but I didn’t check her report card quick when it got sent and everything was perfect! Thank you so much.

About: I have been a dog momma and lover for years. They are my world and I am theirs. Yours will be taken care of at the same level I care for my own! I am sincerely drawn to dogs when I see them. They've got so much love and joy to offer this world, how could you not? I have 3 labs currently and have trained all of my dogs from babies on up. We have almost always maintained a 3 dog household, they get walks everyday so long as the weather permits and plenty of playtime. Rest assured, your pup will be taken care of in the same respect and manner as I care for my own. I work from home so can make time for lunch time appointments if close enough to my home, I work until 5 so can be available in the evenings until 9pm, except for Wednesdays I have volleyball either at 6:30 or 7:30, but can still make appointments work in there. Also around most weekends except for family events here and there and two vacations we take a year. :) I protect them with my life. I love my babies so deeply and am so thankful I work from home so I get to be with them everyday. Yours will be treated no different. Dogs have so much love and joy to offer the world and they only deserve the same in return.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs as long as I can remember. I have also been pet-sitting for about 3 years and I work in boarding and daycare at Lodi Veterinary Care. I’m currently attending school and working part time but I am completely free on most weekends to provide your dog with all the love they deserve! I am willing to stay at your home with your pup and leash walk if needed. I enjoy walking and playing with them as well!

Kimberly did an awesome job with my two senior cats. Zeke didn’t lose any weight while I was gone and Willie was spoiled with frequent walks on his leash to the point that I probably can’t live up to his new expectations 🙄. Will definitely use Kimberly again.

About: Ever since I was little, I loved taking care of animals. I just recently left my job, and as I look for a new one, I’d like to take care of a dog in order to get used to the dog-mom life! In the past, I’ve dog-sat many friends and family’s pets. When I was growing up, I had two dogs: a Brittany spaniel and a German münstelander! Both beautiful dogs who I loved and adored. I’m available any week day or night to take care of your beloved pet as I look for a new job! On the weekends I enjoy traveling. I have a fenced in yard, with plenty of space to run around in and play fetch. I especially love walking, brushing and petting dogs, so they will be very loved in my home!

About: I've always had dogs growing up. I love to be outside and active, so having a pet makes it that much more enjoyable. I have a 1 year old puppy who loves to play with others in our fenced in yard. I'm currently working Mondays, so I have more time available to spend with your pup. My family also is home full time to always be here to help. I have a fenced in yard and a dog friendly puppy to play with while they are here. Lots of freedom to run and play.

About: I don’t have any professional experience yet, but I’ve spent years walking and caring for a reactive pit bull. He has taught me how to read animal body language, and how to respond to it when he is uncomfortable or nervous. I am currently working part time. I am available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Friday and Saturdays after 4 PM. Thursdays and Sunday I am available all day. I usually have the first and last Saturday of every month off, so I am available all day. I do work at a restaurant so there is a chance my schedule could change. I currently live in an apartment with my two cats. Unfortunately I can’t have any more animals in my home, but I am more than willing to come to yours!

Thank you for coming to check on Walle on a short notice! It helps to give him some time while we are gone for a few days to have some human exposure. He's SO used to me being home ALL THE TIME, since I work from home. I didn't want him to get too depressed while his dog brother gets to hang with us in St.Louis. Thank you again for stopping by to check on my handsome barn cat prince!
