“Cilyl is a great sitter, for pets and for house. She was able to interact with our timid cats, and her reports made me laugh and left me certain she cared for my cats and their well being. She also took care of our plants and mail/packages. She is reliable, personable and I strongly recommend her!”
About: I am a 19 years old and have grown up loving animals since day one. I am a very energetic person that absolutely loves to play with animals of all sorts. I am just as comfortable being outside with a Great Dane as I am being indoor with a five pound cat. I have a plethora of experience walking all sizes and breeds of dogs as well. I have no problem taking a leisure walk in the park or going for a run with dogs that want to try to keep up. I have been to multiple different dog training classes with my own dog. For dogs that are interested in staying at my house I have plenty of space in my home and in my yard to run around and have a blast. I am currently working part time and am available after 2 P.M. most days. I do not work on the weekends and I am free both days I am active and willing to walk and play with all sorts of pets indoors and outdoors. I enjoy playing with exercising all kinds of animals.
About: I've been a dog and cat owner since childhood. I am very active and happy to accommodate your pets needs. I can't wait to meet your furry family members+ I am currently in between jobs as a Healthcare Unit Coordinator so my availability is wide open for the month of March, and I will have continued moderate availability from April on. I would love to become a regular visitor for your pet(s). I am not currently bringing animals into my own home but will always be very respectful of your home and animal. I pride myself on my trustworthiness and work ethic.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs as long as I can remember. I have also been pet-sitting for about 3 years and I work in boarding and daycare at Lodi Veterinary Care. I’m currently attending school and working part time but I am completely free on most weekends to provide your dog with all the love they deserve! I am willing to stay at your home with your pup and leash walk if needed. I enjoy walking and playing with them as well!
“Sidney was great. She checked in on my cats once a day and made sure they had everything they needed. She also did some light cleaning, sent daily updates and photos, and the cats seemed totally comfortable with her. I came home after my 10 day trip to two happy and healthy cats. I’d definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for 10 years, providing walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I treat every animal like part of my own family and enjoy creating a calm, happy environment for them. I like playing tennis and being physically active, so that let’s my schedule be pretty flexible. I try to stay reliable and easy to work with so your pet’s routine can stay consistent. When caring for your pet in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I keep things clean and lowkey and make sure they get lots of love and playtime.
“Donna was so caring for my cat Mochi while I was gone. He is still young at 10 months and quite social, and has not done well in the past with drop-in visits alone so I asked Donna if she could house-sit for me while I was gone. She did such a lovely job taking care of Mochi and sending me photo updates - I knew he was well taken care of while I was gone. Thanks Donna!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life, and I can't imaging existing without them. Animals should be cherished, and I'm excited to share that love with your animals. In high school, I started working at an animal shelter, and it was one of my favorite jobs. I worked with cats, dogs, small animals (rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc), reptiles -- even a pig! Many of them came in angry or scared and I quickly learned the patience and gentleness needed to bond with this vulnerable group. I cultivated other skills as well, including providing enrichment, cleaning their spaces (including animals dealing with various illnesses), meeting dietary needs, grooming, and ensuring safety (animal-animal interactions, animal-person interactions, general safety). I've since moved on from that job, but I have been looking for ways to integrate animal care back into my life. I'd love to do drop in visits, whether thats because you work long hours or are out of town for work or vacation. I adore playing and snuggling with cats (or even just being in the same room as them - especially if theyre shy or a little fiesty with strangers). I'm comfortable walking dogs or letting them out in the yard to run around and play, cleaning up after pets, basic grooming, or just spending a few hours with them and providing enrichment. I am also comfortable with most animals and any age! If there are specific needs your (fur)baby has, I'm more than happy to accommodate. I work two jobs in mental health care, both with flexible hours that change week-to-week. I often have time between client visits or jobs, and am available on weekends. Overall availability ranges from 7am - 8pm. I can't do overnight stays or have other animals in my home, as it would be too stressful on my own cat. Between Oct. 1st and Nov. 15 or so, I will have more availability, since my jobs will be virtual while I recover from shoulder surgery. I dont anticipate having many issues with being able to care for animals during this recovery, and I can discuss this further with folks if need be.

About: My very first job was working at a family owned boarding and grooming kennel. I started when I was 14 years old and worked there through college. In between that, I've pet sat for several family members and friends. I work full time as a second shift (3:00 pm - 11pm) 911 dispatcher. I'd love to do some evening or early morning walks to start and would like to expand into pet sitting as my schedule allows. I have preference to pet sitting at the clients home because my roommates dog is a bit fickle on who she gets along with. Plus I own a cat and I know not every dog likes cats. As a pet sitter, I intend to take your dog for regular walks in addition to normal outside play time. I can work with your dog on any ongoing training you have with them.
About: I know how to administer medicine and tend to dogs that have seizures. I can also work with your dog on basic commands - sit, stay, lay down - as well as dogs who pull while on their leash. I work full time, until 1 PM, at the latest! My schedule is somewhat flexible, based on your needs, but it does vary. Just let me know! :) I have many different types of leashes and harnesses for your dogs walks, I can provide treats, and my fur baby will keep yours company.
About: Pets bring us all kinds of joy and unconditional love. It's hard to relax on vacation or focus on an event with a piece of you missing . Be able to be present and ease your mind knowing another caring soul will show your pet the same love and attention they enjoy. I have 10 years of experience with all different breeds and sizes. I work remotely. My office is where the WIFI is the strongest. I have time to spend with animals. My children are grown leaving me with an abundance of free time Soft voices and lots of love and attention. Dogs I like to run and make sure that they have the exercise they need. Plenty of tug of war! Social cats I give lap time and bring a feather.
About: I’ve cared for cats for 3 years and have been a devoted parent to a monk parakeet and guinea pigs and two orange cats. Since childhood, I’ve looked after hamsters, gaining experience with different animal personalities and needs. Friends and family know me as a kind and loving pet sitter they can trust to provide attentive care, from feeding and cleaning to playtime and companionship. I’m a full-time employee, but my schedule is flexible. I’m available on weekends, as well as before 9 a.m. and after 5 p.m. on weekdays for pet care. I don’t have any plants in my home, providing a calm and safe space for your pet. This allows me to give them my full attention, keep the environment clean, and ensure their comfort and security while you’re away.
“Evan did a great job with my two cats. Everything went smoothly, he arrived consistently at the same time. I enjoyed the photos of my cats and the updates on how they were doing. They definitely seemed to like him. Would book again!”
About: I grew up in a big dog home, with dogs of all sizes and breeds (we always had 2-3 dogs in the home at a time). I have experience caring for puppies, including crate and potty training, as well as middle-of-the-night potty breaks for very young pups. I additionally have cared for very old and sickly dogs, as well as caring for Stella, one of my current dogs, following her ACL surgery. I am very experienced in dog training, teaching another one of our dogs tricks like playing dead and “speaking” on command. I hope to bring some of these experiences to help care for your fur babies:). I recently left my job, so I have all the time in the world to care for your animals while I look into what’s next! I am located in West Madison near the Hilldale mall. I currently live in an apartment, so pet care would likely have to happen in your home! I am very good with schedules for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I grew up with coyotes in the field behind my home, so I always go outside with dogs when they are let out, and have a trained eye for spotting potential predators!
“Maggie is wonderful! I feel so at ease knowing a trusted professional is with my pets! She is reliable, trustworthy, and easy to work with! She always gives updates and I think the pets love her too! Would recommend 100%”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old. From family pets to neighbor's and friend's dogs. I have experience training, walking, bathing, grooming, and playing with dogs. Dogs bring joy to my life whenever I'm around them. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine as a freelance production assistant and part-time nanny. I can often have large gaps in my schedule due to not having a consistent work schedule with freelance work and nannying. Pet care would really help me to have a more stable income. I plan on providing services in my client's homes. I will always be respectful of the home and any rules and boundaries put in place by my clients in order to have the smoothest possible care for their pets.
“Laura is very kind. She answered texts promptly and effectively and the cats were well cared for. She came to our house ahead of time to make sure we were comfortable and that she knew where to find everything, which we appreciated.”
