About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the lifelong experience and genuine love I have for animals. I grew up in a home full of dogs and have always been surrounded by pets, learning early on how to care for them with patience and attention. Today, I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I treat every pet like my own, with kindness, consistency, and a lot of love. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra playtime, I ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very open and flexible schedule, which means I’m available throughout the day to give your pets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or an afternoon check-in, I’m able to provide consistent, dependable care. My background in teaching also means I’m organized, responsible, and great at following routines—qualities that translate well into attentive, loving pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, give walks or playtime, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and any instructions you leave, whether it’s about medications, crate time, or favorite toys. If I were to offer care in my home, pets would have a calm, pet-friendly space and lots of companionship throughout the day. No matter the setting, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you're away.

About: I grew up with a Westie since I was 7 years old. I am a foster caretaker and trained to foster dogs by GRRoW (the golden retriever rescue organization of Wisconsin). I also have two roommates who grew up with dogs and are 3 years into veterinarian school at UW-Madison. Pet caretaking fits into my routine best every weekday for an after-work walk (5pm CST or later). I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so I have more free time those days of the week to watch an interact with your pet during the day. I have an apartment with a large open, yard good for playtime. My neighborhood and apartment complex is extremely dog friendly. There are plenty of non-busy street sidewalks and parks within walking distance for the dog to enjoy and run around in.

“My dogs loves her! I will definitely be using her services again soon.”

Jay N.

“Carlee was always timely and gave thorough reports! She had to cancel once due to an emergency, but did let me know. I would definitely work with her again!”

About: My role as an animal caretaker began at the age of 10 and has only increased in species types since. In addition to caring for my own animals (dogs, cats, cattle, horses, chickens, etc.), I have worked professionally in the veterinary field for the past 6 years. This Fall, I will be going into my second year of veterinary school at the University of Wisconsin, and I currently work down in the small animal hospital's O.R. on the surgery team 💉. I am equipped to care for pets of all sizes and medical needs and am so honored to be considered as a care companion for your furry friends! 😊 As a future dogtor in training, pet care is part of my everyday routine. In addition to caring for my own animals, I am always searching for new care opportunities to diversify my skills, whether that is in a professional clinic, sanctuary, or volunteer setting. I am an organized individual who enjoys living by plan and routine and in my experience, many of our furry companions do as well. I prefer getting to meet with pets before my care window begins to get a physical run down of their routine and establish a familiar relationship with them. My attention to detail allows me to easily follow written and verbal instructions and be equipped to troubleshoot if needed.

“Robert is excellent--a great personality, responsive and reliable. We are very pleased to have found him and ws look forward to having him help out with our pups in the future.”

Joel W.

“Really appreciated Annie walking my sweet dog for me! She’s very trustworthy and great!”

Genevieve H.

“Jenny is wonderful! My puppy warmed up to her right away. She asked a lot of questions about him and came prepared with treats, poop bags, and water. She took him on a walk nearby and when they returned home he was all tired out. Thank you!”

About: As l've recently moved home for the summer & lost my childhood pup, I have been trying to be surround myself with as many pets as possible! I'm very good with puppies, big dogs, or anything in between. As of right now, I am working completely remote, so I am very flexible for walks or playtime, check-ins or just general pet sitting during the day! My late pup had health issues that required being on a regimen, so I have had great experience with sticking with a schedule regarding their well-being. I am willing to help with a dog with any sort of needs! I’m currently working fully remote during the day, so I have full flexibility to take your pup on walks, play with them, or even sit with them in your house while I work (if they have separation anxiety, get stressed out alone, or if you just need an extra eye on them to make sure they don’t eat a hole in the couch)! I have loved animals my entire life and will continue to love them and treat them as if they were a loved one in my family❤️

“Shaina is the best! She takes great care of our two fluffballs - they love her. She’s also incredibly friendly and considerate. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have been pet/house sitting for about a year but have had pets and taken care of animals my whole life. I am open to watching any animals and even doing chores while you’re away! I am available for weekends and afternoons during the school year and all days of the week during summer! I might be out for an hour or two to go to the gym but otherwise can hang with furry buddies all hours of the day. I can be around your pets to watch them at all times if needed. I can crate dogs and make sure they stay where they should be.

“I requested Carli the night before to walk a dog that she had not met. She accepted and was phenomenal. She was right on time, followed instructions and saved the day for me!! Thank you Carli!”

About: I promise to provide open communication, understanding and 100% attention for you and your pet when they are under my care. My main priority is making you feel comfortable and your pet feel safe. I am a professional nanny and respite care provider, taking care of people is what I do. I understand from personal experience when using this app that it can be a scary and daunting experience. My goal is to foster a relationship of trust with you and your pet so everyone can feel cared for. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I work 8-5 Monday through Friday and can provide a potty break for your dog every day at noon. On Wednesdays and Fridays mg wife works from home and can provide care and play the whole day. Our home would be good for doggy day care daily or long stays. Our home is safe for dogs who are not crate trained. No matter the weather, I love spending time outside just as much as your pet. There will be lots of play and walks provided! I have a small, fenced in backyard that can be utilized if your pet is visiting for potty and play. We are very active people so can we can keep up with the most energetic dogs!

About: I’m always the first one asked to watch pets for friends, family, and classmates. I’ve got my own fur babies but I can never get enough and love to help ensure other peoples pets are well taken care of when they are away. I love to send photos to update owners. I’m currently in school with a reduced schedule for the summer so I’m able to have a flexible schedule right now. Come fall things will be different I’m used to working with pets who have all manner of needs and personalities. I’ve always been good about making a good bond with new pets and respecting their personal space while also keeping them entertained and safe.
