“Cynthia was amazing with Popsicle. She really looooves dogs, and she treated Popsicle like family. Popsicle gets so excited when she sees Cynthia! Cynthia sends beautiful photos and the cutest ‘pupdates’ I’ve ever read. Can’t recommend Cynthia enough and have booked her on a recurring basis!”

“Emily took great care of our pup, Toby! He is 10 weeks old and she was capable of managing the extra needs of a young puppy. Emily was very communicative and responsive to messages. We would send our pup to be cared for by her again!”

“I needed to leave town for the day and left my dog with her. She sent photos videos of my dog through out the day .i would recommend her .She took very good care of my dog Max . I will be using her services all the time .”

“We are looking to find someone to board Ollie with for weekends. To start him out slow (he has separation anxiety), we had a Meet and Greet, a short (3hr) stay and later, a full day stay. Julie was clear that her dog Zilla's comfort with Ollie was a priority, which I fully support. I won't want to trust my dog to someone who isn't looking out for ALL the dogs involved. Julie was very responsive with messages, showed us around her home and yard and was generally very calm and patient. While the dogs didn't end up getting along well enough for this to work out long term, Ollie warmed up to Julie and was definitely as calm as I've seen him after being left.”

“Wolfy had such a great day with Mary and her family. He can back very happy, and Mary sent several lovely photos of his time. Mary was also flexible with me when my plans changed after booking, which was so appreciated.”

“Briana is such a kind and empathetic individual! Although my doggy day care was last minute, I felt reassured that Semi was in good hands. Truly someone you can trust with your pups!”

Piper J.

“Oliver had three days of doggie daycare with Lorelei & Kayla. He looked happy in his pictures and came home tuckered out each day. I'll be back! Or Oliver will, that is. :-)”

About: Happy, loving, patient and playful pupsitters who have experience working as kennel manager, dogsitter, and lifelong dog lovers. We love and care for all creatures big and small and happen to love dogs as though they were our own children (and they are.) My partner Jessie and I share all dog duties in our house. Someone is around the house every day of the week, as Jessie often works from home, and our two pups are always home. We strive to never leave our own pups alone for no more than 4 hours so there's always time and room for bathroom breaks. And if the weather is nice we leave the backyard door open for them to roam free (in a fenced area). It is the most ideal place for a dog to have room to move about, activities to entertain, and loving caretakers to help them live their best life. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space to roam, along with healthy wildlife distractions, fun toys, plenty of snacks, and generous room inside the house for everyone to feel cozy, warm or cool, and always nurtured.

“Manuela was great with our dog and I know our dog loved spending time with her! I was nervous to leave our dog with a new person at first, but Manuela met us beforehand and made sure we were comfortable. I would definitely recommend Manuela to anyone looking for care for their pet! She treats pets as if they were her own!”

About: As the daughter of a veterinarian in the Madison area, I am no stranger to taking care of animals. As a young girl, I was the neighborhood pet sitter, with years of experience in the clinic with my mother. As a college student, I seek that same type of fur friendship that I had growing up. I have experience with dogs as young as milk-weening and older pups on their journey of joy. At the end of the day, just an animal lover. :) I am a part time student who spends the majority of my time inside my apartment studying or outside on walks. Your pet would be right there alongside me for all of it. I live in an apartment complex close to many outdoor walking spaces. My unit, as well as personal bedroom locks with security in and around the building at all times. If crating is required, I have plenty of room to accommodate this aswell.

“Grace was amazing with my dog Finn. She is an excellent communicator and Finn was very happy staying with her. Will book again with Grace soon!”

About: With 25 years of experience in pet sitting and dog walking, I’ve built strong, trusting relationships with pets and their owners. I understand the unique needs of each pet, and I’m dedicated to providing loving care, whether it’s a walk in the park or quiet time at home. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priority. A typical day in my care includes plenty of love, fun, and attention. We’ll go for a walk around the neighborhood, or explore the fenced-in yard for playtime. Whether it’s feeding, medication, or cuddles, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and at home all day long. I prioritize your pet's safety and well-being above all else. I excel at creating a calm, secure, and trusting environment where pets feel at ease. Whether it’s ensuring they’re comfortable in their own space, taking extra care during walks, or following specific routines, I treat every pet like family. You can trust that your pet will be in safe hands, enjoying personalized care while you’re away.

“Eric, Rachel and Lilo were amazing hosts for my puppy! They were super flexible with drop-off/pick-up times, they sent lots of pics/updates, and Cleo came home exhausted. I am extra grateful that they were able to take Cleo last minute. I will definitely rebook with them!”

About: I love dogs and animals - they really are the best! I have owned three for many years, raising two from being puppies, and addressing challenging behavior with an older doggo, in addition to fostering multiple rescue dogs. I recently moved to WI, and my pets stayed home with my partner for now, and miss my furry companions and want to provide love and care for yours while I’m here! I am happy to work with you on what’s best, whether that is house sitting, boarding, or simply letting your animals out on walks or to go potty. Let’s chat! I currently work from home and have a remote job, so can provide your dog with any needs or attention that makes sense based on their schedule. I have some in-person meetings that occur throughout the week, and am generally around on the weekends regularly. If planning on boarding or daycare, my apartment is very dog-friendly, with many residents having pets and there are plenty of amenities available, whether walking around the neighborhood on leash or playing in the apartment’s fenced in dog run, that will give your pet what it needs. I can easily crate, take out for potty breaks, etc. I am also mindful of dog reactivity regardless of my own or neighbor’s dogs.
