House Sitting in Rome

“It was comforting to have Kristin in our home pet sitting while we were away. Very professional and caring with our pup. It was a relief to know that if there was an emergency she could take care of it. Coco loves Kristin! Thank you for taking such good care of her!”

“Another amazing trip away with Tara to the rescue! She is professional, communicative and amazing with our Texaco! I have such a sense of peace knowing she will be caring for our sweet boy in his own environment! Trust is big for us and she has ours completely! She is a gem and we are so thankful for her! We will use her exclusively!”

“Tami is great. Our dogs are kind of weirdos, but she figured out their unique personalities quickly and sent lots of photos and updates. We will definitely hire her again!”

“Brandi is absolutely a treasure, we are so grateful to have her as our puppy caretaker while we are away. Our puppies absolutely love her! Our Bailey is very shy and a bit skittish, but Brandi has won her over with her kind and sweet demeanor. We always know our pups are in great hands when Brandi is here with them. 🐾🩷”

“Hayley did a great job with our girls. I can always tell when they are well cared for because when we come home they barely notice we are gone. And they let us know if they are not! :) Hayley kept me well informed and sent pictures. Definitely recommend!”

“Katelyn watched my English Bulldog and Chocolate Lab while I was on vacation for several days. She took great care of my fur babies. She fed them, walked them, let them out several times, and gave them loves and pets. She sent good notes and several pictures and videos throughout the stay.”

About: I am an animal lover. Always have been. I grew up on a farm and have worked on a couple as well. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, goats, cattle, pigs, sheep, even ferrets, raccoons and squirrels. Have always had multiple pets while growing up and currently have my 3 dogs and 2 cats. I've always enjoyed caring for animals. Brings me great joy and have always wanted to make it some kind of job. They bring a calming peace to me and I feel like I connect with all animals and that's why we get along so well. I am currently working full time in Madison at a doggy daycare and work at 3 different facilities. I have gained lots of experience with working with puppies all the way up to elderly dogs and all sorts of breeds. You won't be disappointed in choosing me to care for your family members. Thank you for your time checking out my profile and considering me. I work full time at a doggy daycare but am available before or after my shifts during the week and free on most weekends. I am pretty flexible. I have a fenced in backyard and 3 dogs who are great company. My dogs are crate trained and I have extra crates if your dog would need one as well.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a well-rounded and deeply committed approach to pet care. I am the owner of Oh My Paws, a pet-sitting business I started during college, and have worked as a kennel technician, dog handler for Can Do Canines, and am currently completing an apprenticeship at a Humane Society. These roles have given me experience with a variety of temperaments, medical needs, and behavioral challenges. What truly sets me apart is my background in dog behavior and training. I am currently studying to earn my CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed) certification and have experience training service dogs through the Falcon Fetch program. This gives me a unique ability to understand body language, reduce stress in pets, and ensure a safe, enriching environment during their care. Pet care is a central part of my life and something I prioritize in my weekly routine. I have very open availability on weekends (Saturday–Sunday), and I’m also available on Mondays if needed. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent and dependable care, whether it’s for daily visits, overnights, or last-minute bookings. Because I run my own pet-sitting business and am actively involved in training and animal welfare work, I structure my schedule around the pets I care for. I take the time to provide each animal with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and a calm, safe environment. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I begin with a detailed intake to learn about each pet’s routine, medical needs, triggers, and preferences, and I tailor my care accordingly. I use positive reinforcement and clear communication to build trust with animals, helping them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routines as closely as possible to reduce stress. I’m respectful of the home environment, leave things exactly as I found them, and provide regular updates with photos and notes for peace of mind.

“Abigail is great- she is conscientious, compassionate, and is willing to share her knowledge about animals with us (being first time pet owners). She has valuable experience and we appreciate her! Highly recommend to work with.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dog, who I’ve had for 9 wonderful years, as well as helping out friends and family with their dogs. From feeding and walking to playtime and cuddles, I’ve handled a wide range of everyday pet care needs and understand how important consistency and attention are for keeping pets happy and healthy. What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. Because I’ve mostly cared for dogs in a home setting, I know how to keep them feeling comfortable, calm, and loved when their owners are away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they get the attention, care, and affection they deserve I prefer to watch dogs at my home for boarding, as I work remotely and am home during the day to provide plenty of attention and care. I also have two children at home who love helping out and enjoy meeting new dogs! I’m open to occasional daytime house sitting as well, as long as I’m able to work remotely. Your dog’s comfort and happiness are always a top priority in our home! When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and relaxed environment where they’re treated like part of the family. Pets have plenty of space to rest, play, and explore, and I make sure to stick to their regular routines as much as possible, that means morning walks, medication schedules, or feeding times. I keep communication open with pet parents, sending regular updates and photos so they feel confident and connected. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I’m respectful, tidy, and make sure to maintain the same level of care their pets are used to. I follow all instructions closely and take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs. I make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved while you’re away.

“Deann was so easy to book with and did a great job. I could tell from her meeting my pups that I had nothing to worry about. She sent us picture updates and the house looked like no one had even stayed there. We would defintiely ask Deann to come back again.”

“Sam took excellent care of my dogs and home. I was happy to get pics and updates, as well as to come home to a clean house. He even washed the bedsheets ? I recommend Sam for both house and pet sitting!”
