Cat Sitting in Ross Crossing

About: I have several years of experience caring for many different types of animals. I have been a cat owner my whole life, so am very comfortable caring for cats (indoor or outdoor) in any capacity. I have previous experience dog-sitting for both small and large dogs, as well as senior dogs. I have experience providing drop-in visits for potty breaks, walks, feedings, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications, playtime, extra cuddles, as well as staying overnight to provide daily care for pets whose owners are out of town for multiple days. I also have some experience checking in and feeding farm animals such as chickens, guineas, farm cats, and cows. I am a big animal lover that has been around animals my whole life. I would love to give you peace of mind when you are away from home to know your pets are being looked after and well cared for! Currently a full-time college student and working part time in the Madison area. I have a flexible schedule so can do drop-in visits or stay overnight with pets if you live within a decent commuting distance to Madison. Comfortable caring for many different types of animals. I can provide most anything from a quick check-in, to an overnight stay if feasible. I am able to provide walks or outdoor time for dogs, comfortable cleaning litter boxes or other pet cages, and can even administer medications if needed too.

“Thanks for doing a drop in visit on such short notice!”

“Hillary did an awesome job checking in on my cats while we were away for a few days. They are both very shy, but she got them to come out the first day she fed them!”

About: I have 2 dogs of my own. Also I have experience with older dogs and puppies. I love all animals! I'm not scared of much either! I currently work part time. So I'm pretty open. Tuesdays and every other Sunday I'm available afternoon. That could potentially change if more work comes in. I care for my pets by taking them to the dog park twice a week making sure they have food and water. Also making sure they are utd on their shots. For taking care of your pet tho that would go off of how you would want me to take care of your animals. You are the owner. I'm just there to help you out and take care of your animals.

“Jennifer has such a big heart and she truly truly loves your fur baby as much as you do. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND for my pup with bad depression anxiety. She gave me peace of mind knowing that my doggy was in such good hands. I will forever be grateful for Jennifer and could not recommend her enough!!”

“Leah did a wonderful job taking care of Helen and Violet. When I returned home Helen and Vi were very mellow and relaxed because they had excellent care :) It meant so much to me to know that they were well cared for while I celebrated Christmas with my family in Oregon.”

“Would book with them again!”

About: I have had dogs since my childhood and have worked with breeds of different sizes and backgrounds, including some with special needs. In my home life, I have two cats that I adore and spend much of my free time with. I’m available all day on weekends, as well as from 5:30pm onward on weekdays (typically). If you have specific requirements for your animal let me know and we can create a schedule that works best for you! I can perform any specific needs that your pet may need. One of my own pets has special medical requirements, so I am familiar with taking care of animals that need extra care.

About: I’ve spent the last 9 years caring for my Doberman, Rockso, including his senior years and ongoing health needs. For the past 3 years I’ve also cared for and trained our energetic German Shepherd/American Bulldog mix, Jett, from puppyhood through adolescence. My experience includes daily exercise, feeding schedules, medication administration, basic training reinforcement, senior dog care, and handling large, high-energy breeds. I’ve also provided pet sitting services for friends and family both in their homes and in ours. We have access to a yard area and I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, active, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or dependable daily care, I’ll treat them with the same attention and care I give my own dogs. Pet care is already a major part of my daily life. My day begins and ends with caring for my own dogs, including walks, feeding, exercise, training, playtime, and monitoring their overall health and well-being. Because I structure my schedule around animal care, adding pet visits, walks, and check-ins for clients fits naturally into my routine. I am typically available during daytime hours and can provide reliable morning and midday visits, walks, feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and make communication with owners a priority by providing updates and photos whenever appropriate. Whether caring for a young puppy, an active adult dog, a senior pet, or a cat that simply needs daily attention, I have the flexibility and experience to ensure they receive dependable care and attention while their owners are away. Every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to follow the owner's instructions and maintain consistency whenever possible. I believe pets are most comfortable when their normal feeding, exercise, potty, medication, and sleep schedules are respected. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible through walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, companionship, and any requested updates to the owner. I treat every home with respect and communicate regularly with photos and messages so owners can feel confident their pets are doing well. When caring for pets in my home, safety and supervision are my top priorities. Pets receive regular exercise, attention, fresh water, feeding according to their schedule, and a comfortable environment to relax. I have experience with large breeds, puppies, and senior dogs, and I understand that some pets need extra patience, structure, or encouragement to feel comfortable in a new environment. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care and treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Jake is a fantastic dog sitter. We are so fortunate to have him with our older rescue dog! He is attentive to her needs and we appreciate his dedication.”

“Kara was very responsive and took great care of the cats. She even made an extra stop over to turn off a water faucet one of the cats had bumped on.”

About: I have owned all sorts of dogs, big and small, so I know the specific needs for nearly every breed. I am an energetic person so I love to walk/run with dogs, but I also enjoy cuddling up and just giving them loving! At this time, there are no animals of my own in the house. I really hope to find clients that would like recurring stays/visits so I can make more furry friends and figure out the best care for that specific dog. Also, I'm an avid runner, so high energy dogs are very welcome! I work at the hospital nearly every day, but I am able to give your pet my full attention during the weekends. Dogs that are routinely left home during the weekday are welcome during the week, as I am not able to come home and let them out during the day. I am typically gone for about 10 hours a day. We live on a 10 acre farm with tons of room to run and explore (on leash)! We have outdoor farm animals but they tend to mind their own business and don’t bother visitors! Your pet will be treated like my own while in my care, plus some extra treats! ;)

“Took great care of my bunnies, chickens, and snake.”

“Sarah was prompt and my dog immediately took to her. They went for a nice long walk and he was happy and tired at the end! I will definitely use her again to entertain my pup.”

About: I have over 30 years experience training dogs. I am able to dog sit from my home full time. I recently moved to a large property in the country, that is a short 35 minute drive from Madisons west side. I have a acer that is completely fenced in and I am more than happy to offer pick up and drop off to the west side of Madison. I'm professional trained as a dog groomer, worked professionally for over 6 years as a groomer, dog trainer and doggie daycare provider. I have also worked as a vet assistant for 2 years in Denver Colorado. I am certified in humane and dog CPR and I graduated with an EMS degree for humans, this training helps me respond to variety of situations with confidence. I was a volunteer at two different Humane Society's for over 12 years. I have fostered, rehabilitated and Rehoused 15 dogs most with serious behavioral issues. I am an avid dog lover and enjoy spending time with my dogs and other people's dogs. I can stay home full time now. I also have a full acer that is fenced and I have walking trails in the country and I still frequently go to the dog park and I am never gone more than 1-2 hours. Rover is away for me to stay home with my dogs and hopefully your dogs. My dogs LOVE having dog friends visit our pack and home.-I am a firm believer in the saying "A tired dog is a good dog".- I have been dog sitting full time for the past year and I enjoy being home all day long. I recently moved and have an acer of fenced land and I am happy to offer pick up and drop off of your pet or we can meet closer to your house. I am only about 30 mins south of Madison. I have a huge fenced yard with extra gates and separate fenced areas to do introductions safely. Dogs are NEVER left unsupervised outside. Your dog’s safety and mine dogs safety is my top priority!

“Maggie was fantastic! Duke had a great time playing outside with her.”

About: My name is Gina. I have pet sat and worked in doggy daycares for several years. I enjoy the reprieve of being around and interacting with animals. I have lived with cats growing up and currently reside with dogs. I try to cater to their specific needs as I know each animal is different. I provide affection, exercise and care with walks, play toy/fetch, cuddle/pet, feedings, and I make sure to leave the area as clean as when I arrived. I am playful and will get down and silly with them on their level. I am also respectful of coming into their home/domain. They get to check me out first for approval and allow me into their space. I also specialize in pet photography and love bringing my camera along to capture sweet and special moments.
