House Sitting in Ridgewood, Madison, WI

“Appreciate Jolie's diligent care for my buddies while I was away. Communicated well and tended to each of my dogs specific needs. Would be happy to have her back the next time I need a sitter.”

“We had last minute plans and Katie came to our rescue! One of our dogs just had a minor surgery and one was full of energy - and both were well taken care of during our day trip. Thank you!!”

“Natalee was phenomenal with Remora! Consistent updates, cute pics of my cat, and very reliable with scheduling and coordination. Natalee took great notes to make sure Remora was cared for the best as could be. Thank you!!”

“Salem took fantastic care of our dog while we were gone. They sent us regular photos and updates and my dog looked like she was having a great time. Our house was in great shape, too!”

Jaynie P.

“Brenda was amazing!!! She took great care of our house and our cats. Sent pictures and updates, and left the house cleaner than she found it. 😁 We needed last minute help, and she was so flexible and accommodating! I would not hesitate to hire her again!”

Alicia S.

“Travis is truly remarkable! We arranged a meet and greet where he invested time in getting to know our dog. He made sure to understand Remy's needs and ensured a perfect match. Travis went above and beyond by agreeing to house and Dog sit for 8 days. During his stay, Remy not only had the pleasure of regular walks but also relished the companionship at home. It's evident that Travis provided a level of care that exceeded our expectations. Our home was left in pristine condition, and to top it off, our neighbors were quick to compliment Travis on his friendly demeanor. Remy, our Husky German Shepherd Rescue, is eagerly anticipating his next stay with Travis. It's heartening to see such a positive connection between them. Travis has proven to be more than just a sitter; he's become a trusted companion for Remy. We're grateful to have found such a reliable and caring individual for our beloved pet.”

“Stephanie was great with my puppy Apollo, very attentive, cleaned up messes when he had accidents. She kept him occupied and played with him lots so he wasn’t too energized when we got home from work after being in the cage most of the day!”

Megan S.

“Vanessa was great! My dog loved her. Very communicative and goes the extra mile. I will definitely book her again.”

Gary C.

“I am incredibly grateful to Alexandria for watching my dog, Topi. She is not only kind and pleasant, but she genuinely cares for Topi’s well-being. Alexandria went above and beyond to ensure Topi was happy and comfortable. Her attentive and loving nature truly sets her apart. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

“Samantha is a very good worker. She is very responsable and she is always on time. She took care of Rokko very well and Rokko was very happy since the first moment. We appreciated her work very much.”

Sonia M.

“Leah you were amazing. Thank you for your flexibility and quick responses. I felt so comfortable leaving my giant boys with you. I can tell they felt very comfortable. We really appreciate you!”

Allison S.

“Josh was wonderful! Our dog can be wary of new people, but Josh took the time to get to know him and let Coqui warm up to him slowly. He was respectful of our property (left our house so clean), was highly responsive, and communicative. We will definitely hire Josh again!”

Jennifer A.

“12 out of 10. Jessa truly saved me with a last minute request after I had a few rover sitters canceled on me. She came and met my dogs and also was gracious enough to keep an eye on my garden. I will absolutely be using her in the future.”

Mackenzie S.

“Our anxious dog warmed right up on Maddie’s repeat visit! It is such a relief to get home with your dogs completely at ease. We are fortunate to have a reliable, communicative, and overall great caretaker for our pack. 🐾”

About: I love dogs and animals - they really are the best! I have owned three for many years, raising two from being puppies, and addressing challenging behavior with an older doggo, in addition to fostering multiple rescue dogs. I recently moved to WI, and my pets stayed home with my partner for now, and miss my furry companions and want to provide love and care for yours while I’m here! I am happy to work with you on what’s best, whether that is house sitting, boarding, or simply letting your animals out on walks or to go potty. Let’s chat! I currently work from home and have a remote job, so can provide your dog with any needs or attention that makes sense based on their schedule. I have some in-person meetings that occur throughout the week, and am generally around on the weekends regularly. If planning on boarding or daycare, my apartment is very dog-friendly, with many residents having pets and there are plenty of amenities available, whether walking around the neighborhood on leash or playing in the apartment’s fenced in dog run, that will give your pet what it needs. I can easily crate, take out for potty breaks, etc. I am also mindful of dog reactivity regardless of my own or neighbor’s dogs.

About: As a lifetime lover of family pets with 10 years of paid animal care experience, I provide compassionate care to cats and dogs of any age and ability level. From potty-training puppies to smiling pitties; spunky senior shi Tzus to anxious golden retrievers; and skittish foster cats to high-energy tabby sisters, I have a wide range of experience with all types of furry family members. I’m currently working part-time/freelance, so I have flexibility to care for your pup(s) and/or cat(s) at your home on weekdays, weeknights, weekends and/or extended stays! Message me for availability. I provide flexible pet care at clients’ homes and in my home - from drop-in weekday walks to extended stays and housesitting! I also have a car and can even provide drop-off and/or pick-up from dog daycare, groomers or other boarders with appropriate notice.

“Tessa was great at communicating with us and always responded quickly. She took our pup on walks and played in the backyard with him. She stayed overnight with him and we couldn’t be any happier. Would highly recommend for others!”

About: Hi! I'm Hailey. I am totally obsessed with animals, despite being a healthcare worker. I'm currently a student nurse at the UW, but it doesn't mean I can't spend time with animals! In my profile, you'll see pictures of two yellow labs; these two are gone now, but I grew up with them, and they taught me so much about life and love. I have spent time volunteering with the DCHS, Heartland Farm Sanctuary (where you see the emus), and Feathered Friends. Most recently, I adopted a disabled kitty cat and a labrador rescued from a puppy mill. Both of them fulfill my life in ways I can't even begin to explain. Having worked in nursing and volunteered with animals, I am no stranger to compassionate care! Other than going to classes, my life revolves around my dog. She goes everywhere with me, and we exercise for at least an hour together every day. Every room of my house has a dedicated spot for her! Your pets would be treated no differently (unless that's what you want!) My partner and I maintain a child-free and drug-free home in a quiet neighborhood. Our home is peaceful and low-stress, perfect for any pup. As for walking, I always carry personal protective equipment (pepper spray, alarms, location trackers) to maintain safety. I alone will be your beloved pet's caretaker per Rover policy.

“Cassandra was awesome - took great care of both my dog and cat, and the highest compliment I can give her is that she is incredibly kind, and normal (lol) which is exactly what you want in a pet/house sitter! Will definitely use again :)”
