“Leaving a second review for Molly to say she was wonderful once again and went above and beyond to accommodate us while our flight home got delayed! She was able to stay with our pets last minute, and I cannot express how much we appreciated this during a stressful time.”


“Sara was great with a last minute booking when my regular sitter had an emergency. I appreciated her willingness to look after Ollie on short notice. She was great with him and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone!”


“Sidney was great! Very attentive, patient and kept us updated the whole time! We have a very energetic pup who is still learning manners and she was patient with him. We also have an old girl who can be a little unsure of new people and she gave her the time and space to warm up to her. The dogs were in great hands! We will be using Sidney again!”


“Kimberly is extraordinary! My pups love her, and she takes such good care of my home. She goes above and beyond, even taking the initiative to watering my sagging plants. Highly recommend!!”


“James was very dependable and conscientious in taking care of our dogs, cats, and home. He sent pet pictures, texted us if he had any questions, and left our home clean. We were very pleased.”


“Lilly was completely responsible and attentive the entire time. She kept us updated regularly, sent us photos of Blas, and replied to our messages quickly. She not only took great care of him but also spoiled him with love and attention. We definitely recommend her and will trust her again in the future.”


“Rose did a great job of taking care of our 4.5 month old labrador puppy and her nearly 11 year-old chocolate labrador big sister! We came home to happy pups who had a good walk and playtime! We also really appreciated the nice pictures that were sent during the visit! We will definitely rebook Rose!”


“Zach took excellent care of our two cats, one of whom was having health issues. He asked us ahead of time what kind of communication we wanted (lots of pictures!) and then made sure to follow-through. We'd happily have him house-sit for us again!”


“Emily did a great job with our dogs. She was a good communicator and sent us pics while we were gone. The house was in the shape as we left it. We will definitely ask Emily to watch our dogs again.”


About: I’m sure all sitters say this but I genuinely have a seat for being with animals. Sometimes I prefer them over people and treat them like they’re my own. I love all of their personalities and quirks. Anywhere I go I ask to pet someone’s dog and respect what the dog’s body language is telling me. I have a Siberian husky so I have had to learn how to read body language and potential environmental stressors very well. I invest a generous amount of time into learning about dog breeds and am always opening to learning more! Currently, I am staying in an apartment near Camp Randall with plenty of time after 1:00 pm before the semester starts on Sept. 3rd. Following the 3rd, I would edit my schedule on the app. There are no other pets in the apartment so boarding would be available for a few days. Extensive experience with dogs, slightly less with cats but always open to caring! I love giving them constant stimulation and walks. Pets and treats are always given. I treat all dogs like they’re my own. I have an eye on them almost at all times.

“Carlie was an absolute joy. We have two dogs, one who can be a bit of a handful. Carlie was flexible with our needs and incredibly responsive. We appreciated all the photos she sent during our time away and I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for some extra love and attention for their pups. We will be using her for all of our future travels- thanks Carlie!”


“Taylor was so great! I left my boys with her for an 8 night long stay while going to Europe and she made me feel so at ease by sending so many pics and updates of them! Would definitely book her again!”


“Anna did a fantastic job caring for our dogs and cat. She sent us regular updates and pictures, including the cutest picture of our dogs by the Christmas tree! The house was looking good when we got home too. Thanks Anna!”


About: Hi, I'm Meghan! I grew up on a farm, so knowing the responsibility of caring for animals is of great importance to me. I grew up with dachshunds and German Shepherds, so I have experience in caring for both big and small dog breeds. I really love animals, so much so that I almost became a vet. By caring for others' animals, it allows me to get in touch with my passion for furry friends! I have also had a nearly blind dog, who I'd have to prescribe eye drops to, and a dachshund whose back legs no longer worked, so I do have experience in working with animals with disabilities as well. I look forward to assisting you with your furry friends! I work full-time at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, but I work remotely on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays and am usually able to step away to take your furry friend for a walk or just to check in. I'm usually very flexible to others needs. Growing up with dogs definitely instilled a lot of responsibility for me. I always ensure that the animals were fed in the mornings and evenings, and got their mid-day treat. I would help bathe them if they got dirty, and brush them when their coats get a little out of control. I would also take them for daily walks, or just throw the ball around to them. I will also always supply snuggles!

About: I see dogs as one of the great additions to a family, in fact, I have always had a dog in my household. Neighbors have relied on me to do drop in potty breaks as well as over night pet sitting. I am able to take care of dogs of all age and size. Feel free to reach out to me to double check my availability! I currently work part time, therefore I am able to fit pet care into my schedule as needed. I am available week days and weekends. I live on 5 acres and own two friendly dogs, a 1 year old Golden Retriever and a 9 year old Labrador. I am diligent about making sure animals stay safe while having a little bit of fun.

“Donna cared for our dogs and cats over Thanksgiving. She was very communicative, replied quickly and sent photos, and our pets were happy & healthy when we returned. We would definitely book Donna again in the future. Such a lovely person and so great with animals!”

Meghan O.
“There are few people I have met who care about and love animals as much as Meghan. She is experienced in many different pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and even some farm animals! Meghan helped us when we got our new puppy by spending time with the puppy while I worked. Our dog still loves when Meghan comes over and we joke that our dog must have imprinted on Meghan in those early weeks. Meghan is very punctual and very responsive. There are few people I’ve met who care for animals with the same love and dedication as Meghan. She has experience with a wide range of pets—including dogs, cats, rabbits, and even some farm animals. When Meghan is with animals, they seem to naturally gravitate toward her. When we brought home our new puppy, Meghan was a lifesaver. She spent time with her while I was at work, giving her the love, attention, and care she needed during those early weeks. To this day, our dog lights up when she walks through the door. We always joke that she must have imprinted on Meghan! Meghan is punctual, reliable, and responsive, which will give you so much peace of mind while you are away from your pet. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced to care for their pets.”
