“We had a great experience with Andrew. He took care of our energetic golden retriever and kept us posted with pictures and updates throughout the day. He was very responsive with our communication and showed such a caring attitude towards our fur boy. Highly recommended.”


“My pup Popsicle loves Cynthia and gets so excited to see her! Cynthia gives excellent ‘pupdates’ and is super-communicative, so when you’re away from your pup (and missing them), you’ll get beautiful pics and updates. She treats my pup like family, and I’ve hired her again and again!”


“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!”


“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!”



“They did a marvelous job with our fur babies. We loved that they have a fenced in backyard. We usually do not like to leave our boys with sitters who have other dogs present; however, Biscuit was a gem along with the other dogs present our boys were relaxed when we picked them up. They send pictures to show how they are doing. Would definitely use this sitter again!”


“Carnegie had the best day with Robert and made a new friend! Carnegie just had surgery and Robert was so accommodating for her! She cannot wait to visit again!”


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.

About: We have a combined 30+ years of caring for all types of animals, including cats, dogs, reptiles, & fish (and rabbits and chickens!). We’ve worked with pets of many different breeds and ages, including puppy/kitten and senior care. Medication needs or specific care requests? We're here for you! When we care for your pet, we'll work as a team to ensure your pet is comfortable, loved, and stimulated while you're away. Drop ins - Food, water, litter, walks, cuddles, medications, enrichment, or whatever your pet needs - we are happy to accommodate. Boarding - We live in the Grandview Commons neighborhood on the East side of Madison. We are WFH DINKS, single-family home with a fenced yard and are happy owners of fish, 1 dog, and 2 cats (and too many plants!). Book today for all your pet care needs! We have flexible schedules that allow us to care for pets during the week and on weekends - whether that includes boarding or drop-in visits. We will respect your pet care plan as outlined in any instruction or communication prior to our time with your pet/s. We are an easy going pair of sitters that enjoy giving your animals the attention they deserve.

“Julie was very friendly and accepted our booking late the night before we needed her to look after our dog. She took great care of Truffles and sent us plenty of photos throughout the day.”


“I'm thrilled I found this family to take care of my chocolate lab. Came to Madison for a wedding looking to find someone to wear out my dog. I sure did find great family. They have nice size property for her to run around, toys , and a bonus kiddie water pool. I picked her up and she fell asleep right away before we made it too the hotel. Thank you. I will use them again whenever I'm back in Madison.”


About: I grew up training and showing dogs and will always have a soft spot in my heart for them, especially seniors! I pet-sit for friends and family regularly, and recently decided to open my home to some new furry friends that will keep me company while I work from home. I work from home regularly and love to have a companion during the day, especially for lunch time walks. Overnight boarding works great too with my flexible schedule! I will do my best to follow your dog's regular schedule so that they are comfortable! I can easily let dogs out during the day. I have experience giving dogs medicine (usually a marshmallow or some cheese will do the trick!) As I'm home all day, I could accommodate a dog with separation anxiety.

“We are very grateful to Tracy. She took care of our adolescent dog with his first experience with daycare. We had a sudden family emergency that required someone to look after our pub. She was open and communicative which was very helpful. Would recommend to others.”



“Nicole and her kids were great. They were very kind and caring with my dog snooper. They have two other dogs that of course want to protect their owner .. but Nicole was careful to keep them on leash or contained during meet n greet. She thoughtfully considered my apprehension about leaving snooper with 3 dogs (they had another for day care I learned later) and figured out ways to keep the dogs separated. The kids were so loving to little snooper I think he had a lot of private attention! Nicole sets a great example for dog care for her kids—- as did her father who was around during meet and greet. So nice to see children take such loving interest in animals.”


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.

About: Hi! My name is Marcela Moreira Carrillo, I’m 24 years old and a lifelong animal lover. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, including a senior pup who is deaf. Over time, I’ve learned to communicate with him using hand signals and gentle body language, which has deepened my understanding and connection with animals of all ages and needs. When I’m not working at an assisted living facility, I love spending my free time outdoors with my animals. Whether we’re on a walk, playing fetch, or just enjoying fresh air, I believe animals thrive with love, attention, and a little adventure. When your pets are in my care, they’ll be treated just like my own—with kindness, patience, and lots of love. I know how important it is to feel at peace when leaving your fur babies behind, and my goal is to give them a safe, happy, and comfortable experience while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I have a really flexible schedule, so I can plan to be there regularly and work around your pet’s need and daily routine or habits. I’ll care for your pet(s) based on their individual needs and any instructions you provide—every situation is different, and I’m happy to adapt to what’s best for them.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Libby! She took care of our dog for 10 days while we were out of the country, and we felt totally at ease the entire time. Libby was incredibly responsive, provided regular updates, and sent plenty of photos that kept us connected and reassured. It was clear our pup was in great hands and getting lots of love and attention. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we’re so grateful to have found someone so dependable and thoughtful. Highly recommend Libby to anyone looking for a caring and communicative sitter!”

Katie G.
“I always say never trust a person that your dog doesn't like. My dog Alfonso doesn't just like Katie but one could say he is in love. Anytime Katie has watched my four legged pooch Alfonso, Alfonso has come back happy but almost disappointed that I wasn't gone longer so he could stay and play. Although a bruise to my ego, it is a relief to know that he is being more than taken care of. From a humans perspective, Katie's nature is kind and loving, she has always been responsive to our needs and requests and I always know that my dog is in good hands when left with her.”

Truax dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tracy and her dog phoenix were the perfect match for Ollie. Tracy squeezed us in last minute and over communicated throughout the whole process. Ollie loved playing with Phoenix, they have similar energy, played and napped well together. Ollie was anxious to start and was sleeping on Tracy within a few hours. Tracy sent loads of photos, videos and updates. Ollie can’t wait for her next day trip to hang out with her new friend.
