Pet Sitting Sherman

“We always book Jen first when she's available! She's so good with our cats and very flexible. She was able to accommodate some last minute dietary changes and the boys love her. She also gets some of the best candid photos I've seen of them! Will be booking again”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—growing up in a home full of fish, birds, cats, dogs, and rodents taught me early on that pets are family. I truly believe every animal deserves love, patience, and attentive care. Today, I share my home with my friendly dog Birdie, who loves meeting new furry friends and makes a great playmate. My two kids are also passionate animal lovers, and together we create a safe, warm, and pet-friendly environment. I’m experienced in administering medications, whether pills, drops, or topical treatments, and I’m happy to support pets with special needs. I also offer daily walks for exercise and enrichment, and I’m comfortable with crate training if it’s part of your routine. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or relaxed, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own. I work full-time during the week, but on my weekends off, I love spending my time caring for animals. Pet care has always been a part of my life, and I’m excited to offer reliable, loving support to fellow pet parents when I’m available. Whether it’s weekend drop-ins, walks, or cuddles while you’re away, I’m here to help give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is fully pet-friendly and thoughtfully pet-proofed to ensure a secure environment. I use baby gates to create designated pet areas, so dogs can have their own space or be kept out of certain rooms when needed. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard—perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Fresh water is always available in multiple areas of the home to keep pets hydrated throughout the day. Whether your pet loves to run or relax, they’ll have a secure, comfortable, and caring space to enjoy.

“Vanessa was our first experience bringing someone in (other than a close family or friend) to feed and hang out with Finn. We honestly expected him to hide under the bed the whole time she was here, but he warmed up to her immediately, even showed his belly within the first 15 minutes! (per the pictures that Vanessa kindly sent us). We are so relieved and also excited to have re-hired her for the upcoming holiday weekend.”

“Darby is such a caring and thoughtful sitter! She gets better pictures of our cats than we do, and she is amazing at writing recaps of her visits. It gives us such peace of mind to know she’s taking care of our pets, and she really treats them like her own.”

“I can't say enough good things about our experience with Hailey! She went above and beyond for us and our cats while we were away for 2 weeks. Her communication was top notch, she sent lots of photos each day, and was incredibly patient with our cats who need to be separated right now. If you are looking for a reliable and kind cat-sitter, look no further!”

Ronni H.

“Katherine gave our cats excellent care and attention. She was great at communicating and keeping us informed. She clearly took the time to befriend our cats and get to know their needs and preferences. We would be lucky to have her care for them again!”

Eva S.

“Madeline was a tentative and great sitter! Took great care of my dog, made sure the information was correct, that the food portion was just right, and everything was correct. She is a great communicator and always on time!”

About: I’ve grown up my whole life with dogs and cats, so since I was young, I’ve been responsible for feeding, walking/scooping litter boxes, and playing with cats and dogs! Additionally, my mom is a retired vet technician so if something is ever concerning, she is just a phone call away! I am a student at UW-Madison with a relatively light schedule. I am available weekday mornings and evenings! I will be upfront about my availability, but as a busy college student, some weeks may vary in terms of availability! Please do not hesitate to reach out with specific questions! I have experience dealing with skittish pets and understand the importance of making sure your pet is as comfortable as possible. If your pet makes any messes in your home, I will ensure that they are cleaned up and looking better than how you left it!

“Elizabeth was great - very communicative and spent a lot of time playing with my cats.”

“Brittany was a true professional. She did a great job giving our cat Rhubarb her daily medicine and sent pictures with every report card. Thank you Brittany!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and I love to take care of them to ensure they stay happy and healthy! I can take care of many different types of animals! Throughout my life I've owned dogs, cats, bunnies, a guinea pig, a tortoise and a bearded dragon. I have experience bathing (only dogs), grooming pets, and giving dogs oral medication without hiding it in a treat. Most of all, I love spending time with your pets and keeping them company while their owners are away. My schedule is pretty irregular but I am available a lot of the time! Always feel free to reach out with any questions about my current availability! I like to keep things the way I found them and not leave any mess for the owner to clean up. I provide the regular services like feeding or walking your pet of course, but I mainly strive to spend as much time with your pet as I can.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was old enough to know what a pet was, whether it’s my own, a neighbor’s, or a friend/family member’s. I love animals, and am considering going into vet work! I have experience with both puppies/kittens and seniors as well :). I can walk, feed, give meds, and do anything you need! I’m a full-time student during the week, but I will always have time to drop-in, or stay overnight. I’m very flexible with my scheduling, so I will happily do whatever you and your pet need! While I can’t offer boarding at my home because I have four roommates, I will care for pets in every way possible no matter what! I know some nice parks for walks, and I’m also happy to chill if they’re a homebody! Again, entirely up to you and your pets needs :)

About: I've helped out at a shelter for a large chunk of my life before I moved for college, taking care of dogs and cats. I have some experience with basic training as well. I'm currently in college so my schedule changes with my classes, and outside of school i'm usually hanging out with my cats but I'd be happy to share that love with your pets as well. I try and keep any pet in my care safe, even if I'm only giving them a walk or checking in on them. I care for any pets just like they are my own.

“We really appreciated Hannah. She was prompt and professional and showed immense comfort around my 3 dogs who had never been let out by someone they didn't know. I'd use her every time!”

Rene M.

“Anna did another wonderful job and loved our kitties while we were gone. I appreciate her careful attention to them and her loving care for her temporary charges. Our kitties got meds and fussy food requirements along with pets and love. So grateful!”

About: I have taken care of my family and friends pets for many years. I try my best to understand the pets energy that they display and follow any directions given by the owner that makes the pet feel comfortable and safe. I work as a baker so I have several days where I am done with work either by 11 AM or 1 PM. I am also occasionally available all day on Fridays. I respect the directions given by the owner and try my best to understand the energy given by the pet I am sitting. I do not want to cross any boundaries that make the pet feel unsafe. I am patient with pets and try my best to make them feel comfortable and loved.

About: Hi! I’m Madison, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for animals in both shelter and home settings. I volunteered with Shelter from the Storm Animal Rescue as a behavioral assessor, where I was trained to observe animal behavior, body language, temperament, and individual needs. I also helped write biographies for adoptable animals, which gave me even more experience getting to know animals as individuals and understanding their unique personalities. My family also fostered animals, so I’m very comfortable working with anxious, shy, fearful, or nervous pets. I understand that every animal is different, and some need extra patience and space before they feel comfortable with a new person. I pay close attention to body language, routines, comfort levels, and changes in behavior so I can meet your pet where they’re at and help them feel safe. I work a hybrid-remote job and am typically only in the office 1–2 days a week depending on my workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care. I love being able to spend extra time with pets who want companionship, playtime, enrichment, or just some good old-fashioned snuggles! My girlfriend, Alyssa, is also part of my pet-care journey as my partner in training! She is learning alongside me and may occasionally join me for pet care as she gains experience with different animals. I’ll remain the primary caregiver and point of contact throughout your booking. My goal is simple: I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll take the time to learn their routines, respect their boundaries, and give them the individual attention they deserve. I work a hybrid-remote job and am only in the office 1–2 days a week depending on my workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care and allows me to spend extra time with pets who need more human interaction, playtime, or snuggles! Alyssa works second shift on weekdays, so depending on the timing of your booking, she may also be able to help fill in and spend time with your furbabies while I’m at work. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. My background as a trained animal behavioral assessor helps me recognize signs of stress, fear, discomfort, or overstimulation and adjust my approach accordingly. I’m especially comfortable with shy or anxious animals and will never force interaction before they are ready. I prioritize safe handling, secure doors and gates, and making sure pets cannot accidentally escape. I also respect your home by keeping things clean, following your instructions, and making sure everything is as you left it when I leave. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

“Savannah did such an amazing job taking care of my fur babies! Even though I had only booked her for check-ins, she spent plenty of time playing with them and providing me with photos and updates daily!”

About: I grew up with dogs and miss having them in my life dearly! I have experience, walking, feeding and bathing dogs. I have experience with them all — from tiny schnauzers to giant goldendoodles that pull you along — and I would love to meet your furry friend! I have a full-time job so I’m available in the evenings and weekends for dog walking and visits. I could potentially take a calm doggo to work with me for pet sitting during the day, and I could also do early morning walks or visits when needed! When not in a fenced-in yard or dog park, I keep dogs on a leash to keep them safe. I can also adapt to your practices such as putting the dog in a harness, getting them into a crate, or closing certain doors when needed.

About: I’ve shared my life with animals for over a decade, and my heart truly belongs to dogs and cats. As a homeowner and a "dad" to three pets of my own, I understand that your animals aren't just pets—they’re family. Why Choose Me? -I’ve been with my own buddies for 10 years, navigating everything from post-op surgery care and complex medication schedules to senior "attitudes" and puppy smiles. -I am a hybrid worker with a flexible schedule and my own transportation, making it easy for me to drop in for walks or midday snuggles. - I treat every home with the same care I give my own. You can expect a clean space and frequent, proactive communication so you never have to wonder how things are going. -Whether your pet has a specific routine or a quirky habit, I follow instructions to the letter to ensure their comfort remains consistent. I know the peace of mind that comes with knowing your fur babies are happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m here to provide that same comfort for you. Work mostly from home with one day in the office. Very flexible on needs and schedule! Up early and go to bed late, which makes my schedule open to accommodate the needs of our little fur friends. I respect your space, privacy, and needs to ensure your home is just the way you left it when you return. In my home, we keep a clean ship, organized, and make sure all fir buddies are rewarded with treats when good behaviors are exhibited. With instruction, can be mindful of any special needs for our fur friends. Their health and comfort matters too!
