Alexandria has been walking my dog, Louie, for several weeks now since I’ve been recovering from knee surgery. She’s reliable, communicative, and has been great with his occasional leash reactivity. I’m happy to have Alexandria walking my dog while I can’t!

About: I have cared for senior dogs and grew up with cats all my life. I believe that pets are family and I will love them as such I am currently working per diem so my schedule is what I make it. Currently would like to dedicate weekends to this and see how things go. I want to make sure I am respectful of the owners as well as the pets. So I will make sure to do whatever feels comfortable for all of us.

About: Taking care of pets brings me so much joy! I have vet tech handling experience, which means I’m confident and comfortable with dogs and cats, and their needs. I’ve also had the pleasure of dog-sitting for my family’s furry friends, taking them on fun walks and making sure they’re happy and cared for. Plus, I love working with puppies and giving them the special attention they need! I am confident in my skills to care for cats and kittens as well, as I have a cat that is 11 years old. You can put your trust in me, as you will receive many updates and photos of your fur baby! I’m currently a student but I have a lot more free time this semester, so I would like to incorporate pet sitting into my day! In client’s home, I am always respectful of their belongings and only touch what is given. I always tend to the dog, play with them, and take them on walks or keep them on their schedule as needed!

About: I have had pets ever since I was born and love nothing more than quality time with animals! I am a college student looking for some much needed time away from the books and surrounded by pets. I currently have classes on Monday and Wednesdays and am looking to spend time caring for fur babies every other day of the week! I absolutely adore all types, sizes, ages, of pets and want to help you and your family out in any way I can. I am available throughout the weekdays to help let your dog out, take them on walks, feed them, and so much more! I also have experience washing dogs if needed.

About: I am a dog, cat and pet lover. I will stop 10/10 times to pet a dog and learn about him or her. At the local park, I know most of the dogs by their names and ironically, few of the owners haha. I would love the opportunity to spend time with someone's best friend and help out! I am very attentive, detail oriented and careful with animals. I also know animals are more than "pets" they are just like family. I would be honored to help take care of someone's best friend for a few hours or days to help out. I offer a safe, secure space for someones pet as well as close access to a park and outdoor space. I am available for walks as well as for visits or assistance on Fridays and most weekends. I believe dogs help people just as much as people help dogs! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to accommodate pet parents and their schedules as needed. I am able to offer short or longer walks, pet sitting and other services as needed. In my home, I have a clear open space and am able to spend close time with my clients pets while they are in my care. We are just a short distance to a small park with plenty of outside walking options. We can sit and watch tv, play catch, or take naps.

About: I am entirely committed to your pets comfortability and happiness. Whether your dog runs a million miles an hour and needs some good mental stimulation, or is more shy and just wants some gentle love, I’m here for all of it! I have had experience with everything from puppy training to caring for senior pups, and can handle all dog energy levels. I also have experience with dogs that aren’t comfortable around other dogs/aren’t dog friendly. Whatever you and your pup needs, I can be there! I have pretty open availability to be there for you and your pups needs! Earlier in the day is best for me but I can be flexible! I’m here to ensure that your dog is safe in whatever environment they’re in. I’ve had my puppy’s while living both in an apartment and in a house with a fenced back yard. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and am very experienced with leashes and how comfortable dogs are (or aren’t) on their walks with a leash.

About: I have had 18 years of caring for 1-2 dogs in my home. I used to watch dogs 101 every Saturday morning as a child. I love dogs, and am an energetic and eager worker. I have had big and small dogs and really enjoy both. I am fit and can provide your dog with the outdoors activity it needs! I know lots of traditional commands, and also can handle dogs that aren’t necessarily the best listeners. I enjoy dogs with lots of energy, and dogs that just lounge and walk. I can go on runs with your dog if you would like as well. I am the oldest sibling in my family and am honest and very responsible. I can’t wait to work with you! I have a front and back yard which are 3/4 of the way gated/enclosed. I rise rather early in the morning. I also work from home and enjoy staying active outside at least once a day, typically walking. I leave briefly at Moments, the longest would be to go to the gym We have water stations available, as well as doors to places dogs cannot be that will be close. I always clean up after myself and never intrude in others' spaces.

About: Hi, my name is Geissy (“jay-cee”) and I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember! Growing up, they were always a part of my life, teaching me about unconditional love and the joy they bring to the human experience. Caring for them feels like second nature to me—it’s a passion. I’m a neuroscientist, psychologist, and meditation teacher originally from Brazil, now living in Madison with my amazing husband who is from Wisconsin. Back home, I come from a family with two wonderful dogs who I miss dearly. Before them I was lucky to take care of other three different dogs, from young to old dogs, and watched my friends pets as they needed. We use to joke that I make dogs and cats meditate because they just sit around me when I am doing my practice 😄 🧘🏽‍♀️. More recently, I had the joy of walking our senior dog every day until her passing a few months ago. She was a sweet, grumpy 14 year-old lady who loved to smell all the things in the neighborhood. Her absence has left me with so much love to share, and now I’m eager to bring that same care to your furry friend. With my flexible schedule, I can dedicate the time, attention, and care your pet deserves. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a slow stroll, or simply giving them the affection they need, I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. And yes—I’m ready for those chilly Wisconsin winters! I am also a runner, so I love to stay outside checking new parks to do my exercises. Recently I ran the madison half marathon and it was so much fun! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and help them stay happy, healthy, and loved! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate quality time to your dog. Between my client sessions and prioritizing my own self-care, I’m delighted to spend time with your furry friend—whether it’s taking them on a walk or giving them loving attention at home. I am available for short walks, long walks, I can watch your dog at your place and I am also happy to have your dog at my place :) When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment according to their needs and make sure that they are happy and stress-free.

About: I’ve grown up around all types of dogs, big and small! Now that I’m at UW for school, I miss my family dog and would love to spend some time with your fur baby! My family dog is now 10 years old and has gone through many medical obstacles, so I am very familiar with the patience and attention needed to care for any pup! I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, including senior dogs with additional medical attention. I will always prioritize your pet’s health and give them the love and attention they need! My schedule is very flexible as I’m about to complete my last semester and have some time off before starting work full-time at the end of summer. Communication is a huge part in keeping your dog happy and healthy! I will always follow the given instructions to keep your pet safe. If you are looking for someone you can trust to keep your pet safe and loved while you’re away, send me a message!

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, I’ve developed a deep understanding and genuine love for pets of all sizes and personalities. My experience spans from large dog breeds to small animals like guinea pigs and rats, giving me a well-rounded skill set in animal care. I have extensive experience administering medications, including insulin injections for diabetic pets, as well as oral and topical treatments for a variety of conditions. I’m confident in handling pets with medical needs and always prioritize their comfort and safety. In addition, I’ve worked with reactive dogs and understand the importance of patience, calm energy, and proper behavior management techniques. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a shy, sensitive companion, I tailor my approach to meet each animal’s unique needs. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s part of who I am. Even with a full-time job, pet care is a consistent and intentional part of my daily routine. I structure my mornings and evenings to make sure my Lab is well-fed, gets her medication, and has time for mental and physical stimulation. Whether it’s a walk, puzzle toy, or a short training session, I build these moments into my day because they’re important—for both her well-being and our bond. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I prioritize and make time for, every single day. I currently share my home with a purebred Labrador, and while I previously cared for two cats and have experience with guinea pigs, my passion for animal care remains just as strong. My Lab is fed two to three times a day, with a consistent morning and evening routine that includes administering her daily medication. Mental stimulation is a big part of our day—I regularly switch up her feeding methods and use a variety of enrichment toys and puzzles to keep her engaged and mentally sharp. I also believe that training shouldn’t stop after puppyhood. We continue to work on new tricks and reinforce good behavior through positive, ongoing training sessions. Caring for animals is something I take seriously and joyfully. Whether it’s daily routines, health needs, or enrichment activities, I make sure the pets in my care feel safe, stimulated, and loved.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs & have cared for my family pets since I could walk! I am always the one family or friends would call if they needed a trusted and reliable pet sitter. I’ve cared for old dogs, puppies, sick dogs, and all sizes in between. I now have my own dog, Theo, who I got 6 years ago and is a german shepherd/husky. I take a lot of pride in training and caring for such a special breed and am excited to bring that care and attention to your furry friend! I own my own business so I’m excited to take breaks throughout my work day to stretch my legs and care for your pets! I have a strong sense of routine as I care for my own dog as well. I take a lot of pride in how I care for all things, not just pets. I like to leave places better than I found them and you can absolutely trust me to do the same with your pet/home/etc.!

About: I have served hundreds of clients over my years of providing pet care services. I have cared for the whole gamut of pets, from the youngest pups and kittens, to pets in their golden years, and everything in between. During college, I worked part-time as a veterinarian's assistant, gaining valuable knowledge of animal health and behavior. At that time, and in the years since, I have learned how to care for pets with special needs and varying health conditions. I am experienced giving most medications, fluids, etc. I have also cared for most other furry pets, as well as birds, fish, reptiles, and urban chickens. Pet care is my main gig. Besides shuttling my two high school age kids around to their activities, I arrange my days around my pet visits. I typically have time to schedule pets into my mornings, midday, and evenings. I work most weekends and holidays, though do occasionally keep some of those open for family time and trips. Most of the pet sitting I do is at the client's home. I typically do not board animals at our house, unless we can ensure they will get along with our cats.

Jennifer goes out of her way to make sure the animals in her care are well-taken care of, comfortable, and shown proper attention and enrichment. She pays special attention to small details and behaviors in animals that may often go unnoticed, which can contribute greatly to the overall health and well-being of the animal.

I am available for short walks, long walks, I can watch your dog at your place and I am also happy to have your dog at my place :) When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment according to their needs and make sure that they are happy and stress-free.

Madi was able to book a short-notice walk for our dog when we had an emergency. He had a great time. We would love for Madi to walk Dizzy again!

I have a pretty anxious dog, but Piper is very patient with him and has been deliberate about building his trust. I can always count on her to take great care of him when I am out of town. I am so grateful to have someone reliable I can count on to looking after him!

Rachel is super dependable and great with my Shiba Inu! She takes multiple photos of their walks together and leaves me messages about how they went. My dog loves seeing her and I would 100% recommend her to anyone!

Gabby is extremely personable, dependable, and responsible. She also has great communication skills, providing detailed and thoughtful updates. Gabby takes great care of her own dog and is a favorite of any dog she meets. Whether they are going for a walk, hanging out on the couch, or playing a game of tug-o-war your dog will love every second!

Angie is the best! She's a true professional, and our dog loves her. The convenience of having her stay in our home with the dog means we don't have to coordinate picking a dog up from a kennel - especially helpful after traveling with two young kids.
