About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. I have experience in babysitting children. I also take care of Laya our family pet. I also have previous pet sitting experience in Wisconsin. Iny previous experience in Wisconsin, I have asked owners for written instructions on medications, favorite toys, play schedule, vet contacts as well as inquiring about safe ways to enter the house. I have given the quality care for pets including snuggles, walks, and fun games like fetch with their favorite toys and time at the dog park- if permitted by their parents. I am a substitute teacher. I frequently do half days, I'm doing mostly afternoons at my subbing jobs. I am available in the mornings and at 330-8pm for drop in visits and walks I will ask for written instructions on feeding, rules, any medications, and anything else I should know. I will send pictures and videos of what we are doing-walks, how much your pet has eaten, treats, playtime, and playtime.
“Madeleine was wonderful for our crazy pup! She sent me frequent updates and photos and is very responsive. He was quite tired when we got back from our trip from all the fun that he had with Madeleine! I would definitely recommend her!”

About: Ever since I've learned to talk I've expressed my love for animals(my first word was"kitty"). I currently have two cats at home who are my world. I have had cats all of my life, and I was also lucky to have the greatest dog for 16 years. I have helped my mom care for her senior dogs throughout the years, and enjoy participating in the local animal shelters"Doggy Day Out" program. I will treat your pet with the same love and care I do my own. I look forward to either checking in on them where they are most comfortable (their home), taking dogs on walks (while telling them how adorable they are of course) and boarding cats when your plans take you away from home. I work full time M-F, but I have fairly flexible 1 hour long lunch breaks (I am able to choose the time of day) and I'm off by 4:30. Happy and willing to check on your pets before work as well if needed. I am unable to host dogs at my apartment. My dog services will consist of drop ins, house sitting, or walking. I taking dogs to the park if weather and behavior permit.
“Jade was incredible! We love our dogs like children and spoil them. I wasn’t the least bit worried having jade watch our clan of four dogs. She stayed the night and sent photos. She will definitely be our go to gal!”

About: I’ve been hugging dogs since I was a kid, and I’d love to hug yours! Penny, Ciel, and I enjoy hosting furry friends - I take care of them and they play hard with them! Please note: *I cannot currently accept bookings for unneutered/intact male pups *I host a large, rambunctious group of pups throughout the week - pups who prefer quiet, calm environments may not have an enjoyable experience here, and I will happily recommend sitters who may be a better fit for your family Hosting pups is my full-time job - your pups become part of our family while they’re here! I spend my days with our guests, playing and chatting with them, and can attend to everyone’s needs regularly throughout the day. My 24/7 dedication to giving your pups the best experience while away from your home makes me a great choice for day care and socialization opportunities! I accept bookings between 7am and 7pm; I will consider bookings outside these hours on a case by case basis, potentially for an additional cost. My availability for picking up and dropping off is limited but I aim to be as flexible as possible. Reach out with your needs and we’ll work out an arrangement that works best for all of us! My entire yard is fenced in - there’s room to run full speed! I can adjust feeding schedules as needed to accommodate your dog’s diet. In good weather, pups are free to go inside and outside at their leisure. I don’t require pups to use crates while I’m gone or overnight, but if you prefer your pup be crated at any time, I’m happy to do that and have multiple available. Male pups will wear a belly band for the first 24 hours of their stay, at minimum - this soft, absorbent band fits around their belly and attaches with Velcro on their back. Belly bands reduce marking behavior, especially in unneutered males. You may bring your own, but I supply them, free of charge. Using belly bands keeps our home calmer, cleaner, and fresher by eliminating marking behavior and reduces anxiety for future pups by giving them less reason to want to mark over the scent of previous pups. I have indoor and outdoor security cameras in many locations that can be helpful to review if any safety situations arise. The safety of all of our pups is very important to me! (They’re also great for catching fun footage!)
“KaSondre not only sent me pictures and updates reassuring me zeke was in good hands and doing well she left the house in better shape than when I left! Would highly recommend! Jackie”
About: I enjoy caring for animals I have experience with my own pets my mom got for me when I was young. I am very loving when it comes to pets. I am available Monday through Friday; from 8am to 5pm I can also change my schedule to fit clients needs. All you have to do is let me know what works for you. I have an apartment with my two cats I cant board any animals yet but I can always do home visits. I also can walk or feed the animals.
“We had an absolutely perfect experience with Tiffani, from start to finish! Tiffani responded quickly to my request for her services, was able to accommodate my schedule and was very open and communicative through the whole process. She asked questions about my dog, Teddee's personality, likes and needs in advance of our stay. She cared for Teddee in her home and made him very comfortable. Tiffani took pictures to share with me and kept me updated! She is very conscientious and truly worked hard to exceed my expectations and shower my dog Teddee with love. We had a great experience and I highly recommend Tiffani!!”
“Lisa was a fabulous caregiver for my cat, Rizzo! She is a loving and caring person and went above and beyond the perimeters of our engagement and spent extra time with him, bought him toys, and watched over my house and watered flowers too in my absence. I highly recommend her for any pet care or house sitting or both.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I treat every pup like family—not just a pet to check in on. From extra belly rubs and goofy playtime to patient care for shy or senior dogs, I make sure each furry friend feels safe, loved, and truly at home. My goal isn’t just to meet their needs, but to keep those tails wagging and give you total peace of mind while you’re away Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I schedule my day around visits and walks, making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Whether it’s morning check-ins, midday playtime, or evening walks, I keep a consistent routine so pets feel secure and cared for. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I love and prioritize every day I provide more than just pet sitting—I offer dependable, loving care that gives you peace of mind and keeps your dog feeling happy and secure. I take time to understand each dog’s unique personality, routine, and needs, so they’re not only cared for but truly comforted while you’re away. With me, your pup is treated like family. I also have one dog (cane Corso) who is wonderful around other dogs and well trained.
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember I had my own pup for 14 amazing years, and I’ve helped care for senior dogs, puppies, and even service dogs along the way. For about a 1 year and a half, I was involved in service dog handling, which taught me a lot about structure, patience, and the deep bond between people and their animals. Since losing my dog last year, I honestly treat every pet I watch like they’re my own. Whether I’m walking them, feeding them, or just sitting with them while they nap, it means a lot to me. I’m not just doing this as a side gig I genuinely enjoy connecting with animals and giving them the love and care they deserve, even if just for a short time. I’m available most weekends and during the week after 2pm. I know how important it is to feel confident your pet is in good hands when you need it, so I do my best to stay flexible and work around your schedule. At the moment, I don’t have a dog of my own, which makes every pet I care for feel even more special to me. I know how personal and emotional it can be to leave your pet with someone new, and I don’t take that lightly. I do my best to keep things calm, safe, and full of love. I’m happy to follow any specific routines, give updates, and accommodate senior care, crate needs, meds whatever makes your pet feel most at home.
“Barb was so kind to my fur-babies and so respectful of my home. She was available and came by very last minute when my scheduled person was over 40 minutes late with no notice. I can’t express my appreciation enough! I already have her scheduled for a future visit with my littles!”
“Abby was great to work. She communicated frequently and asked questions to make sure she followed what Yoly needed. She kept Yoly in her routine and was a great house guest. I would not hesitate to book with Abby again.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for them through every stage of life, including their senior years. There’s truly nothing better than the love of a dog, and I can’t wait to explore all the new smells with your pup! I offer both in-home sitting and long walks, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that being away from your pet can be difficult—for both you and them—so my goal is to provide loving care, attention, and enrichment to help them feel safe and happy while you’re gone. I’m also experienced with pets who may be shy or fearful around new people. I always approach animals in a gentle, calm, and non-threatening way, allowing them to build trust and feel comfortable at their own pace. I work full-time from 7:30–4:00, which gives me availability in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m excited to spend my free time giving your fur baby the attention, care, and love they deserve. I’m very respectful and mindful of being in someone else’s home. I take a proactive approach to pet care by anticipating needs and potential issues before they arise. I always follow your instructions closely and care for your pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment.
About: I’ve worked as a vet tech for two years, caring for animals of all kinds — from large dogs to tiny exotics! I helped with boarding, feeding, walking, baths, and giving medications, so I’m very comfortable handling pets with different needs. I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I truly love making them feel happy and safe while their owners are away. 😁🤎 I work full time, but my schedule allows plenty of time for pet care — I’m off Mondays and weekends, available after 5 PM on weekdays, and after 2 PM on Fridays. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, so I’d love to fill that space in my life by spending time with other people’s furry friends! I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s specific routine — including feeding, walks, medication, and playtime — and always pay attention to their behavior and needs. My vet tech experience helps me notice small details that keep pets healthy and happy.
About: In my 10 years of pet sitting, I have had the privilege of caring for countless furry companions, each leaving an indelible mark on my heart. From energetic pups to wise senior dogs, I have witnessed the incredible bond that exists between pets and their owners. Through walks in the park, cozy snuggles, and endless playtime, I have come to understand the true joy and responsibility that comes with providing exceptional care for these beloved family members. My carefully crafted schedule for taking care of pups seamlessly integrates into my lifestyle, ensuring their needs are met while allowing me to maintain a balanced routine. With a structured approach, I provide regular feeding, exercise, and playtime sessions, tailored to each dog's unique requirements. This allows me to accommodate their specific needs while still managing my own commitments, ensuring a harmonious coexistence between their well-being and my personal life. This works especially well with my work from home job! At the forefront of my dog sitting service is a steadfast commitment to the safety, trust, and well-being of every dog under my care. I maintain a secure and pet-friendly environment, meticulously inspecting and childproofing the space to eliminate any potential hazards. With a vigilant eye and responsible supervision, I create a space where dogs can freely explore, play, and interact with peace of mind, fostering a trusting bond between myself and these furry companions.

Kiri was excellent! She came to Our house promptly after we left and gave My dog and elderly cat the love and attention they need and deserve. And, she figured out how to get My sometimes stubborn dog to start home on the walk when Sadie didn’t really want to! Caring for an old cat who needs meds twice a day and doesn’t always use the kitty litter is difficult, but she handled it with aplomb. Thanks, Kiri!
