“We were lucky to have Cynthia as our dog sitter. Cynthia and her family were able to watch our dog Gary on short notice, which made us really happy. Right from the beginning, Cynthia communicated with us well and was very friendly and understanding. We felt comfortable leaving Gary with Cynthia. She sent regular updates with photos and wrote a lovely Rover card at the end, filled with pictures and lots of details. It was so thoughtful and sweet. We would definitely recommend her to others without hesitation. Cynthia is professional, kind, and genuinely loves dogs. Thank you for taking such great care of Gary and being an outstanding dog sitter!”

She kept me updated with pictures and videos. She was very lenient with our pick up time! I would recommend Lorelei for your next sit!! We will 100% be using her again!! 😊”

“Bob was able to accommodate a last minute request to keep Hank for the day. It worked out great! I'm able to relaxing knowing Hank is at "summer camp" with Bob instead of home alone for 10+ hours. I really appreciate that he asks questions at drop off (regarding potty, meals, etc.) and sends pictures and updates throughout the day. Thanks Bob!”

About: Happy, loving, patient and playful pupsitters who have experience working as kennel manager, dogsitter, and lifelong dog lovers. We love and care for all creatures big and small and happen to love dogs as though they were our own children (and they are.) My partner Jessie and I share all dog duties in our house. Someone is around the house every day of the week, as Jessie often works from home, and our two pups are always home. We strive to never leave our own pups alone for no more than 4 hours so there's always time and room for bathroom breaks. And if the weather is nice we leave the backyard door open for them to roam free (in a fenced area). It is the most ideal place for a dog to have room to move about, activities to entertain, and loving caretakers to help them live their best life. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space to roam, along with healthy wildlife distractions, fun toys, plenty of snacks, and generous room inside the house for everyone to feel cozy, warm or cool, and always nurtured.

About: I grew up training and showing dogs and will always have a soft spot in my heart for them, especially seniors! I pet-sit for friends and family regularly, and recently decided to open my home to some new furry friends that will keep me company while I work from home. I work from home regularly and love to have a companion during the day, especially for lunch time walks. Overnight boarding works great too with my flexible schedule! I will do my best to follow your dog's regular schedule so that they are comfortable! I can easily let dogs out during the day. I have experience giving dogs medicine (usually a marshmallow or some cheese will do the trick!) As I'm home all day, I could accommodate a dog with separation anxiety.

About: As the daughter of a veterinarian in the Madison area, I am no stranger to taking care of animals. As a young girl, I was the neighborhood pet sitter, with years of experience in the clinic with my mother. As a college student, I seek that same type of fur friendship that I had growing up. I have experience with dogs as young as milk-weening and older pups on their journey of joy. At the end of the day, just an animal lover. :) I am a part time student who spends the majority of my time inside my apartment studying or outside on walks. Your pet would be right there alongside me for all of it. I live in an apartment complex close to many outdoor walking spaces. My unit, as well as personal bedroom locks with security in and around the building at all times. If crating is required, I have plenty of room to accommodate this aswell.

About: I love dogs and animals - they really are the best! I have owned three for many years, raising two from being puppies, and addressing challenging behavior with an older doggo, in addition to fostering multiple rescue dogs. I recently moved to WI, and my pets stayed home with my partner for now, and miss my furry companions and want to provide love and care for yours while I’m here! I am happy to work with you on what’s best, whether that is house sitting, boarding, or simply letting your animals out on walks or to go potty. Let’s chat! I currently work from home and have a remote job, so can provide your dog with any needs or attention that makes sense based on their schedule. I have some in-person meetings that occur throughout the week, and am generally around on the weekends regularly. If planning on boarding or daycare, my apartment is very dog-friendly, with many residents having pets and there are plenty of amenities available, whether walking around the neighborhood on leash or playing in the apartment’s fenced in dog run, that will give your pet what it needs. I can easily crate, take out for potty breaks, etc. I am also mindful of dog reactivity regardless of my own or neighbor’s dogs.

“They were super accommodating and pleasant with my dog he had a great time”

About: With 25 years of experience in pet sitting and dog walking, I’ve built strong, trusting relationships with pets and their owners. I understand the unique needs of each pet, and I’m dedicated to providing loving care, whether it’s a walk in the park or quiet time at home. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priority. A typical day in my care includes plenty of love, fun, and attention. We’ll go for a walk around the neighborhood, or explore the fenced-in yard for playtime. Whether it’s feeding, medication, or cuddles, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and at home all day long. I prioritize your pet's safety and well-being above all else. I excel at creating a calm, secure, and trusting environment where pets feel at ease. Whether it’s ensuring they’re comfortable in their own space, taking extra care during walks, or following specific routines, I treat every pet like family. You can trust that your pet will be in safe hands, enjoying personalized care while you’re away.

About: I have had dogs all of my life of all breeds - mostly Labradors but everything from Great Danes to Jack Russels! I can care for puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs. I love giving dogs the individual attention they deserve! I am currently between jobs so I am highly available to watch your dogs! I would love to spend my days playing with your dogs I have a completely fenced yard and two friendly labs that love to play with new friends. The yard is big enough for your pup to get lots of exercise and energy out
