About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats through personal pet ownership, animal shelter volunteering, fostering, and pet sitting for friends and family. During my undergraduate years, I spent several years volunteering at animal shelters and fostering animals with a wide range of ages, personalities, and care needs. I've cared for young puppies, kittens, adult cats, senior dogs, and older rescues who were still learning potty-training routines. Through these experiences, I've become comfortable working with shy, nervous, and anxious animals, as well as dogs who need extra patience on walks or tend to pull on the leash. I also have experience with basic puppy training, reinforcing commands, managing potty-training accidents, and caring for multiple pets at once. I'm experienced with administering both oral and injectable medications, and I understand the importance of carefully following each pet's specific care instructions. I grew up caring for my family's pug, who lived to be 15 years old, and I currently have a sweet 4 year old rescue dog. I've also fostered and cared for multiple dogs and cats in my home, so I'm familiar with managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. One of the biggest things fostering has taught me is that every animal is different. Some pets want to play all day, while others prefer quiet company or need a little extra time to warm up. I love getting to know each pet individually and making sure they receive the attention, patience, and affection that works best for them! I'm currently a graduate student at UW-Madison, and one of the best parts of my schedule is that my lab allows me very flexible hours! This gives me plenty of freedom throughout the week to work around your pet's routine and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Since I'm not tied to a traditional 9 to 5 schedule, I can make time for dog walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and overnight house sitting. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, your kitten wants some extra playtime, or your furry friend just needs someone to keep them company while you're away, I'm happy to help! I also have a 4 year old rescue dog of my own, so walks, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with animals are already part of my everyday routine. I'm available most days and am happy to coordinate around your pet's usual schedule. I know how important consistency is for animals, especially those who are younger, older, or a little anxious, and I'll do my best to keep their routine as comfortable and familiar as possible. And of course, I'll always make time for plenty of cuddles, playtime, and pictures of your little fur babies! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! Through my experience volunteering at animal shelters and fostering dogs and cats, I've learned how important it is to be patient, attentive, and respectful of each animal's individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for shy or anxious pets, energetic puppies, senior animals, and pets who may need a little extra attention or reassurance. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care needs. I also have experience administering oral and injectable medications and understand the importance of following the instructions provided for each pet. I live alone with my sweet 4 year old rescue dog, who gets along very well with other animals. I've also cared for multiple cats and dogs in my home before, so I understand the importance of paying attention to each pet's personality, comfort level, and boundaries. I'm mindful of keeping pets secure during walks, being attentive to their behavior, and making sure they feel comfortable in their surroundings. I also treat every client's home with care and respect. Communication is really important to me, so I'm always happy to send regular photos and updates during visits or overnight stays. I want you to be able to relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention while you're away!

“I cannot express enough gratitude and how exceptionally accommodating Kristin & Bruce (& of course their little darlings as well!) were with my little pup Ellie! It was a spur of the moment decision to check into a pup sitter while in town for my UW Madison freshman’s 1st football game & what a gem we found!! Booked the appt & met the fam w/in an hour & were so incredibly impressed & confident w/them that we modified our booking for an overnight stay! Having not planned a sitter, we showed up without her bed or paperwork yet were still fully welcomed into their home. Little Ellie (3.5 lb 5.5 mo. Yorkie) spent the day playing with the kiddos inside & out then snuggled with mom & dad all night!🥰 Since I’m now an empty nester, I honestly believe she wasn’t ready to leave when we came for pickup! She was definitely living her best life and I will, without a doubt, be booking further appointments as I pop into town for a visit!”

“Sofi took wonderful care of our Poppy! Poppy was very nervous at the beginning of her stay but Sofi seemed to gently help her warm to her new surroundings! We appreciate that very much! We also appreciated her frequent photo updates! We recommend Sofi to others! Thank you again!”

“Lee was great with our high-energy dogs. They clearly had a lot of fun in his large fenced-in yard, and Lee provided pictures and updates daily! He was also very responsive and flexible when our travel plans changed”

“Holly and Ana Maria were incredible! They were extremy communicative, very very sweet and kept me in the loop with how Leche was doing every single day. Holly and Maria have both cats and dogs that are extremely well socialized around other cats. Though Leche was scared at first, she was able to get more and more comfortable each day and I knew this because Ana Maria was keeping me updated frequently with pictures and videos showing Leche's progress. They played with her, fed her, gave her space and lots of love! Thank you Holly and Ana Maria! I would recommend anyone decide to go with them for their pet sitting needs. :)”

“My boy had the BEST time with Manjusha & Midhun! They went above and beyond caring for him - several photo/video updates, walks, treats, and cuddles. They made sure he was comfortable, loved, and spoiled as much as possible during his stay and I truly couldn’t have asked for better care. Zero complaints and highly, highly recommend! ❤️🥰”

“Grace and her family provided excellent care for my dog Maisie. I have already scheduled two more visits! I recommend them without reservation. You will not be disappointed!”

“Jessie was great. He's expensive, but absolutely worth it. My dog came down with an illness a week before a planned vacation, I needed to board her with someone that could administer her meds and where she was isolated with other dogs. Jessie was able to handle her situation, and spoiled the heck out of her as well. I'd definitely book with him again.”
