About: when you choose me as your pet sitter, you have nothing to worry about. I care for all pets as if they're my own. I live in an apartment and I'm currently only available to do boarding with one dogs but will consider two if they are bonded pair. before any boarding or housesitting services confirmed, I require we meet in person to ensure all the details are understood and that your dogs are OK with my dog. I have a 30 pound beagle mix named Daisy who is three years old and she will be with me at all times. I am always available for drop in visits and dog walking. prices fluctuate due to various factors but the main ones these days are gas prices and distance of travel. I.e The farther away you are the more likely there is that a added fee will occur before confirmation of service. I provide pet care in services full-time as of November 2021. I am available at any time if you need me. i'm currently available for the following services: housesitting, pet boarding, drop in visit, dog walking for 30 minutes or 60 minutes, and one on one dog training. if your dog is with me, I live in a neighborhood that is very dog friendly. We have two dog parks and I am often at these dog parks at least once a day. However if you have a dog that is not comfortable with that I would not take them there. I would focus on other activities that are more suited to your pet. I also take a lot of pictures and I am constantly in contact with you so you don't have to worry where or what we're doing. I currently work as a therapist with an office in the Madison area, right next to the plow and hearth. My schedule is pretty flexible and it changes weekly as my client needs change. I am almost always around, that makes me a great person for any last minute bookings needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of affection, daily walks, and playtime tailored to your pet’s needs. I keep the space clean, secure, and low-stress, with my own well-behaved dog Daisy as a companion if your pet is comfortable. When staying in your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions closely, maintain regular updates, and work to ensure your pet feels safe and cared for in their familiar environment. I aim to build trust with both pets and their people every step of the way.

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I grew up on a farm and have always loved animals. My girls Piper, Ella and Shelby are my world. I love these dogs like they are children. They are spoiled I will admit. I also have taken care of my friends dogs for years while they have been out of town and my house as "Aunt Paige's Doggie Camp" All my dogs I have brought up from puppies. I have house trained them, crate trained them and trained them on the invisible fence for the yard. They always get lots of love and have lots of toys to play with, both inside and outside. I work from home, so I'm always here to take them out and take care of them. My dogs are always outside when it's not too hot or the weather is bad. I live on a quite street which ends in a cul-da-sak. So I will walk them at least 2 times a day The most important thing is they must get along with other dogs. I have a invisible fence in my yard and can certainly put your dog on it if they are trained on one. Otherwise I will go out with them and walk them. If they are well trained and can be lose a return on command they can play in the yard with my girls.

About: I have cared for friends and family’s dogs for 20 years. I have cared for dogs after surgeries, administered medications and have bottle fed puppies.

About: I’ve had all kinds of animals and breeds ranging from snakes to huskies and pitbulls. I also worked at the local Petsmart for a short time. I am a stay at home fur mom always looking to help others. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs (husky and German Shepard/American bulldog) myself. I have a fenced in backyard, tons of toys and lots of time to take care of and play with the animals. I enjoy running and engaging with them.

About: Hi! For many years, I was a Fear Free Certified veterinary assistant in Charlottesville, VA. I also have experience as a dog kennel manager, farm assistant & animal rescue volunteer/advocate. During my 10 years of petsitting work, i’ve learned how to make your pets as stress free as possible while your away. Petsitting is my full time job! It is easy for both myself & my clients to have such flexibility. I schedule my days off based off of my client’s bookings. I have studied animal medicine & behavior for. I am a Fear Free certified veterinary assistant. While sitting in your home, I stick to your pets’ schedule but am also happy to take your pets on additional fun activities when requested.

About: I have been caring for animals on a professional basis for over fifteen years now, from working in a high volume animal sanctuary, fostering for CASPCA, and taking multiple CPDT Dog Training classes! I specialize in puppy socialization and creative enrichment. I do currently work a part-time job, but have flexibility for mid-day potty breaks. I am off early on Wednesdays and Fridays, and all weekend! I am able to spend most of my time off caring for your pets with minimal interruptions or coming and going. We are currently in the process of moving and updating business requirements accordingly, so in-home boarding is very limited. For in-home sitting, I aim to leave each home cleaner than I arrived. I utilize a secure lockbox for key management. I commute frequently with pet parents with a lot of pictures and videos!!


“Joey did fantastic with our two dogs on short notice. He was professional, knowledgeable, and able to handle our reactive dog amazingly!”


“Madelyn walks my dog every week and is very flexible when schedules change. She’s a great communicator, is always on time, and takes perfect care of my dog! Highly recommend.”


About: I can take care of all kinds of animals not just domestic. I have pet-sit chickens and rabbits before. I love spending time with animals. I take care of my own animals daily. I have three dogs and four cats that I give care to every day and spend time with. I walk the dogs, play with them outside, spend time with housecats, feed, take care of litter, groom them. I don't just take care of the animals, I spend time with them.

About: I have owned multiple dogs in my adulthood. I currently own a 2 year old golden who I have personally trained. I have worked at a dog day care for 5 months where I learned more about dog body language and how to diffuse any fights. I have walked and babysat dogs for friends. I consider all dogs to be my friends, because there is no such things as a bad dog. I work 12 hour night shifts Friday-Sunday. I am completely available Monday-Thursday, but can do some walks on weekends. Because my weeks are so open then I can spend more time taking care of pups. I have a friendly golden retriever who is only 2 (almost 3). She loves to play! She does great with other dogs (she used to have a brother) but also knows how to cuddle and chill. We have a big dog park that is hardly ever used where I could take her and yours.

About: I have a pitbull, a dachshund, and a little cat. I love them all so much and enjoy spending as much time with them as they need. I am able to handle my 120 pound pitty on walks and trained him to be the best dog ever. I also trained my dachshund, which are very stubborn by the way :) I work full time but i am always available to come on my lunch breaks, before work, or after work. I am always off on the weekends so I am available anytime any day. I take care of my animals by always being on top of what they need. I make sure they have exercise so at night they are able to sleep. I make sure their belly’s are full and walk them about 45-1 hour later to make sure they know to use the bathroom outside. I give them PLENTY of attention and they always love being around me.

About: I grew up in a family that had 2 cats, and I because we lived in a bit of a small neighborhood, sometimes the neighbors would ask to animal-sit/house-sit for them when they were away. My schedule is fairly open throughout the week, sometimes things may pop up here and there, but obviously I will let you know if I will or will not be able to do something last minute. But my schedule availability as of right now is open from Monday-Sunday! So please feel free to reach out and ask! Sometimes I will house my in-laws three dogs when they are on vacation, we have a fence in the backyard and a clean pet friendly house!

Lindsay Y.
“After a bad experience at a big boarding facility, I was nervous to leave my senior Yorkie again—but Lindsay was a game changer. She took the time to understand his needs, sent daily updates, and treated him with so much love and patience. He came home calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. I finally feel at peace knowing he has a safe, cozy place to stay.”


Samantha S.

Paige K.
“Paige has taken care of all of my dogs over the past 15 years. Whether my Lab, Great Danes or Doodles; she is always a familiar face to my fur babies. Her house is has plenty of space, a safe yard to play in and a loving caregiver each and every time I have dropped them off to Paige. I have never thought twice about leaving my animals in her care and never had a bad experience or report.”

Caitlan F.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Caitlin as a dog sitter for my two furry companions and I cannot recommend her enough. From the moment I met her, I could tell she had a genuine love and passion for dogs. She was incredibly organized and efficient, making sure to get all the necessary information about my dogs' routine and preferences. During her time with them, she went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of, from regular walks and playtime to ensuring they received their medications on time. Not only did she provide excellent care for my dogs, but she also sent me daily updates with pictures which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Caitlin's warm and friendly demeanor made it easy for my dogs to warm up to her, making their time together even more enjoyable. Overall, Caitlin is a wonderfully responsible and caring dog sitter who I would highly recommend to anyone in need of pet care services. I will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”

Shane & Meg M.
“I’ve known Shane for many years now, and animals have always been a big part of his life. He grew up with a small dog named Bubbles, adopted two kittens when he moved out on his own, and has shared stories with me about dog-sitting for neighbors and friends over the years. When we started dating, my family already had a full house of pets- four dogs, two cats, and frequent visiting pups my sister boarded monthly. Shane got along with all of them right away. They’d greet each other at the door, and our tiniest dog, Ginger, always chose his lap over anyone else’s in the room. Now that we’re married, Shane (and I guess technically me too, haha) has pet-sat for my family many times- sometimes staying overnight at their house, sometimes boarding their pets at ours, and often stopping by for day visits during short trips. He’s responsible with feeding, watering, administering medication when needed, and giving each pet the right amount of attention and exercise. He’ll play with the little dogs in the yard and take the big ones on longer walks. My family’s cats are pretty shy, but when they come out for a visit, Shane is gentle and patient- always ready with a scratch behind the ears and a quiet moment of affection. He’s also cared for our neighbor’s two small kittens, who were only a few weeks old at the time. They needed lots of attention and stimulation, and Shane enjoyed every minute- and judging by the way the kittens would climb up to his shoulder and perch like tiny panthers, I think the feeling was mutual!”
