“Thank you for walking Rosie. Everything looks great”

About: I am currently a veterinarian assistant in school to become a veterinary technician. The most amount of animals have set for at once is 7 (3 dogs, 4 cats) all needing special diet food, and certain medication’s. overall, I really love animals and hope to make peoples lives easier by being able to take care of them. Currently, I’m in school Monday through Thursday and I work Wednesday through Friday. I am able to watch animals and do things in the morning and in the evening and whenever I would have the free time to go back to the home and make sure they’re ok. I can do whatever you would like me to do, whether that’s free roam or crate. Ultimately, whatever works in your home works for me.

“McKenna was AMAZING with our three picky/skiddish cats. She’s very patient, sweet and loving. After our first meet and greet I instantly felt at ease and knew they were in perfect hands. We honestly couldn’t have found a more perfect sitter for our kitties and will definitely be contacting McKenna whenever we need a sitter! Thank you McKenna!”

About: I am open for Dog walking and house sitting for all sizes of dogs and cats, as well as general care for small critters such as rabbits, hamsters, fish, birds and guinea pigs. I also have many years experience with horses, goats, sheep, and pigs. I have a very flexible schedule at this time. I've been an animal owner since I was a child. Always had a dog and cats growing up, also had fish, birds, hamsters and rabbits over the years. Despite being a part time student I have all online classes so fitting in your pets needs are very easily done at any hour. I live in an area of many bike trails and walking paths as well as a personal fenced in yard for any dogs who don't have access to dog parks or have socializing issues in large groups. I am currently unemployed and looking for a Part Time job. I will schedule animal care around that future schedule. I miss my rover days when I switched to full time work prior. I treat every clients pets and home with respect and care for it as my own. When I'm house sitting i often supply my own snacks and such and tell pet owners they don't need to supply me. I stay within the set boundaries of each home as well.

“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! She was caring and a fabulous sitter! I completely trusted her within our home. She did everything we asked and sent us daily pictures. I would definitely hire her again!!!!!”

“Ashley is the type of young lady that I felt comfortable not just watching my dog, but protecting him. If something happened to Winston I wouldn’t take it lightly. The last day she watched Winston she must of played with him for awhile. Winston always wants to go play when I get home. I usually lay in bed for a minute while you walks all over me to get me to take him out. Instead he passed out on his back snuggled up to me snoring and moving like crazy. He was definitely run I g in his deep sleep”

About: I grew up on a farm with working dogs and lived in the city where dogs must be on a leash, so walking them in all sorts of weather in various conditions is part of my daily routine. But now that my husband is retired, our dog gets his walks, but I don't always get mine! I would love to help you and walk and care for your dog when you need help. My energetic and resource-guarding dog has taught me a lot about dog behavior and how to use positive enforcement through training, playing and enrichment activities. I look forward to working with you and getting to know your special pup. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. Other than the occasional road trip to visit family, I have a pretty flexible schedule and am able to work just about anytime, including nights and weekends. I have cared for pets who are crated as well as non-crated; walked dogs on leash and with dogs who are trained on shock collars (in safe areas, obviously). I have trained puppies as well as tended to senior dogs' special needs. I am committed to ensuring you are confident that your furry friend(s) are in good hands and getting the attention they deserve.

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors/family/parents of friends’ homes and pets since I was a little girl. I enjoy pet sitting because it gives me a reason to get outside and move my body, something I don’t (yet) do for myself… And of course, pet therapy is an added bonus. I work 3x a week at my “full time” job, 8 hour shifts, on the west side of Madison. This leaves me with ample flexibility and free time - I work from home about half of the time. I prefer long term stays for this reason, and most, if not all, save my memory, of my past pet visits have been for 3 or more days. First, I let the pets warm up to me, giving them the floor to tell me what they want. I stay with the pets as much as is possible so that they don’t feel alone, and I give them attention, affection and love while their parents are away. We go for long lazy walks each morning and night, at the least, and play with toys/prep puzzles/exercise their minds, if applicable. I care for the animals as if they were my own babies, because they are for the time being, and we have such fun adventures. Each one of them have unique personalities, and it’s for my pleasure to spend time with them!

“April came over in kind of a last minute scenario, but she still made it work and we came home to a very happy puppy dog later that day! April got Roxy all of her medications, fed her and loved her as I would of if I was home. I work for the railroad and have a wild schedule, and April was there to save the day! I highly recommend April; your pooch will love her!”

“I was nervous about our vacation as we've never left Kirby alone for a long period of time. Paige was so good / patient with her. Love that she sent picture every day - I could see that Kirby was happy! Paige did a fantastic job, and she is definitely my go to person!”

About: Ever since I was a kid, my love for animals has been unstoppable! Over the years, my passion has only grown stronger, and I've been fortunate to care for both cats and dogs for a long time. Right now, I share my home with three amazing cats and three playful dogs, each with their own personality and quirks. On top of that, I love helping out my friends and neighbors by taking care of their furry companions when they’re away. Whether it's feeding, walking, or just giving them some love, I truly enjoy every moment spent with animals. Living in Columbus, working in Verona, WI, and everywhere in between, I’m always ready to provide the best care for any pet that comes my! I'm working full-time from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday to Friday, but before and after that, I'm free as a bird! With a 40-minute drive to and from work, I’m always on the move and happy to help out in Madison and surrounding communities too! I have a fenced-in yard and share my home with three dogs and three cats. If needed, I am available to stay at your home to provide dedicated care for your pets. My top priority is ensuring your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for, and I approach every interaction with patience, kindness and love.

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.

“My pup Charlie loved spending time with Angie. She gave me an informative update and provided great pictures of my pup. I won’t hesitate to book Angie again to watch Charlie. Thank you!”

About: Hey everyone I’m Emma! I grew up on a farm and have worked with so many different animals species. I love working with dogs and can do lots of different training exercises with your dogs. I have worked with both large and small dogs, and dogs of all ages. I used to foster dogs, and train them up for their forever homes! I am currently a college student taking courses T and THUR from 8-3. I work on my family farm currently from 8am-4pm M,W,F. But am able to stop by around noon during my lunch break if your pet requires an extra let out and I work about 2 minutes away from my house as well. I live out on a farm, so there is a large yard for you pets to run around. I have a kennel for smaller dogs and a puppy play pen already from fostering as well as basic food dishes, toys, treats, etc.

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 have had dogs since I was to young to remember! My passion has always been making dogs happy! Through having completely different kinds of dogs myself and helping with family and friends I have gotten experience with all type of animals! I am currently only working part time and looking to stay busy walking pups! I live a very active lifestyle and bringing the dogs along is always my favorite. I currently have my own pets whom are extremely social and friendly! I have a big yard any dog would love to run and play in!

About: I've always been around dogs of all kinds. Some of my first jobs were looking after the neighbor's and friends' canines. We also had dogs in our home during my childhood, and my wife and I also have a dog of our own. I would be happy to take care of your pet at the beginning or end of my work day. My work is fairly flexible as well! I love to care for animals exactly how they need to be cared for. I promise that I will look after your furry friends as if they were my own. I'm a youth pastor, so I am used to working in high-trust environments!

“Amber is kind, reliable, and has a clear love for animals. I trust her with my fur babies and would definitely recommend her.”

About: I have dog sorted for many family members and friends. I love all animals and truly give each one of them my love and care no matter what! I hope to meet you furry friend and best friend soon. At home I care for two cats a bearded dragon and a tank full of fish. As a server over the summer my schedule is sporadic, but allows me to work shorter hours and be available more frequently for your animals I have always been taught to leave a space cleaner than I found it and I will not treat your space any different. I make sure to give my pets specific love and attention each day and keep them on a strict meal schedule. Of course I will do everything I can to make sure you furry friends are as comfortable as possible while you are gone :)
