Ashley walked and played with our dog Lincoln for the first time today. Everything went great; Lincoln enjoyed his time with Ashley. The feedback and photos of Lincoln was nice and gave us confidence that Lincoln will be well cared for by Ashley when we are gone.

Bethany was great! I put in a last minute request. She maintained great communication. She sent thorough updates and pictures. She even was able to get one of our most skittish cats to interact with her. I would definitely hire her again!

About: With my lifetime experience in animal care through my family’s farm and my time working in daycare/boarding/vet facilities, I’m ready to care for your pet as if they’re my own! I have also raised a newborn kitten and I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes. I am currently working full time during the week but I am available to do weekend visits and drop ins. After 4pm is also when I am free if that fits into your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a breezeway set up with a dog crate if needed. My friendly pup is ready to play all day or snuggle up and chill with yours!

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.

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 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.

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!

About: I am very experienced with caring for all sorts of animals. I have worked for the biggest Pet Resort and Day care in the Madison area. I am also a fur mom and know how it is leaving your pet to go on a vacation or just to go to work. I found this passion years ago and can't wait to me you and your fur baby. I am a stay at home fur momma also a small Buisness owner who works from home. I have two fur babies myself Draco (4 year old Australian Cattle) and Tank ( 13 year old Shei Pei Mix). Their health and activity is number one and yours should be to. There are questions I am going to ask you depending on how many pups there are. Mainly I will learn your routine and your habits. I will also ask medications, feeding schedule, temperament, commands that your pup knows ect. These questions will be asked no matter if it is in my home or yours.

About: Ever since I was a baby, I’ve always had a pup in my family. I love dogs all shapes, sizes and ages. I have done walking, drop in visits, and house sitting for long trips. I currently have a one year old girl at home; my sweet and goofy Mabel. I’ll love your pup as I love my own! I’m now working part-time, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I am most available during the afternoons and evenings the weekdays. Weekends are possible if needed. I am open to whatever your pet needs! If they need feeding, walking, or just some spoiling of treats and love, I am more than happy to provide.

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: Friendly and reliable pet care-taker, who can accommodate your pet's every need. I provide walks, feeding, playtime, and any specific requirements your pet may need! I work a flexible schedule: available to check on cats and dogs throughout the day, board pets in my home, or stay with your pet as needed. My home has a spacious backyard with a park very nearby. Your pet would be kept on a leash, but would be provided with plenty of walks and outdoor time. I have an older cat who is friendly with all dogs.

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: Bilingual and able to communicate with families in Spanish, as well. Neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for their pets/homes for almost 7 years. They often say we're (my fiance and I) the only ones they trust to care for their pets. I have experience with senior pets and worked at a rescue previously. Excited to be going full time pet sitting/walking in 2026! I'm very reliable, flexible and am available last minute, 7 days a week and on holidays. I take extra care to keep pets happy, safe and comfortable. I follow instructions given and use caution when necessary to prevent any escapes. I do not do boarding in my home.

I am so grateful for Ashley! Ashley played with Melman during each visit and also scooped his litter box. I felt so much better knowing that she visited my kitty and gave him some social time while I was gone. She was also ready to help with drop-in visits for Melman on very short notice, and even found the time to schedule a meet and greet beforehand. Thank you Ashley!

Stephanie was wonderful! Our dogs loved her ❤️ She was sensitive to their separate personalities and quirks, which was reassuring to us. She kept us updated every day with fun photos, which made it so much easier to enjoy our weekend getaway. We would highly recommend Stephanie, and plan to request her help again when we travel next 🐶
