“Ben and Kassy were awesome! My dog DouDou was only 8 months old and very nervous and shy and we booked a daycare first to let him get along with them and make new friends. They try their best to help familiarize him with their place, and their dogs. I can tell they love dogs a lot!”

“My little Westie loves Suellen and her two sweet dogs. They treat her like one of their own. It's great for me to be able to drop her off for the day, knowing she'll have fun and be safe.”

About: In July 2025, my heart grew four paws bigger when I brought home Bella, my sweet Goldendoodle—and I’ve loved every second of raising, training, and adventuring with her. I grew up with cats and fostered over 10 through Underdog during college, helping them heal, grow confident, and find their forever homes (one of those special fosters even joined my parents’ family!). From vet appointments and administering medications to socialization, snuggles, and steady routines, I’ve been hands-on in every stage of their care. Today, with Bella and two adopted cats of my own, my home is full of love, structure, and happy tails. Your pets would be treated like family—because that’s exactly what they are to me. 💛🐶🐱 I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. My schedule is structured but flexible, so I can build in walks, feeding routines, and enrichment without rushing. I’m also mostly around on weekends, making it easy to provide extra companionship and supervision. I keep my calendar updated every 1–2 days and sometimes have flexibility even on days that show as unavailable—please message me and I will do my best to accommodate your needs. Your pets would have reliable care, routine, and plenty of love all week long. 🐾💛 I care for pets in a safe, loving home environment designed with animals in mind. I live in a house with plenty of space, cozy dog and cat beds, and lots of toys to keep everyone comfortable and entertained. We have a huge backyard plus sidewalks throughout the neighborhood for daily walks—and I’m always happy to drive somewhere new for a fun adventure or a pup cup treat. For overnight boarding in my home, all dogs are safely crated at night to ensure a secure and restful environment for everyone. I’m happy to schedule a meet and greet with you, your dog, and my animals ahead of time to make sure everyone feels comfortable. Please feel free to ask me any questions you have about my services—I’m a very transparent person and want you to feel reassured that your baby is in good hands while you’re away. My home is fully animal-safe and pet-ready, as I’ve already created a structured, secure space for my three own furry family members. 🐾💛

About: I took care of my family's dog until I moved to college, and I really miss having a dog! Rover is perfect because it will allow me to satisfy my love for dogs while fitting with my schedule and helping you. I am also hoping to get a dog in the near future. I enjoy running and walking so having a dog with energy is not a problem as long as they are leash trained. I’m currently working from home full time. I can be flexible on when walks occur but am fairly busy between 8-5 and need some heads up to plan around meetings. I do not have a fenced in yard but will take your dog on frequent walks or as needed if you’re booking that service. I’m careful to follow instructions on how to get into your house for walks and lock up on the way out.

“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.”

“Emily made us feel extremely safe leaving our pup, Tyke, with her! She had a basket full of toys ready to show him & her home felt so cozy & welcoming. I could tell our pup felt safe with her right away & wasn’t stressed during drop off or pick up Thank you, Emily!”

About: I was always the friend that was chosen to stay with the pets while people were away. Sometimes on short notice so i am ready for curveballs that may come my way. Im not traditionally emplyed due to meical issues, so im at home at least every day during the week. Long term stays are acceptable. Pick up and drop off times are flexible. My apartment has a fenced potty area where your pup can do their buisness and get some free roam exercize. If a crate is a part of your dogs system I am able to work with that. Your pup will get plenty of affection and enrichment while in my care.

“I just can't say enough about how amazing Sarah and Zach are and how much it means to us to have our active social 1 1/2 year old lab in their care. They understand him, take care of him as one of their own and make it so easy to coordinate and communicate.”

“We are not from Madison, but just in town for one evening. Meghan’s communication was excellent from the beginning to the end. We talked about our situation and what we needed for care later in the evening. Meghan provided fantastic care for Moose - playing lots of fetch and helping him with his nervous separation. She took and shared lots of photos and brought him on 3 walks. Her profile was thoughtful and drew us in - we knew she would be the perfect fit. We are thankful for her hospitality and letting us park our car in front of her house while we were in town for a football game. If we are in the Madison area again, we will hire Meghan to hang out with Moose. Thank you! ??”

“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 started pet sitting at age 12. I’m comfortable with all animals from exotic to barnyard (ex. Horses, pigs, bearded dragons, wolf-dogs, fox, skunks, parrots and ferrets). I have had my dog for six years, and I recently took in a senior cat over the summer whom has adjusted flawlessly. I am a full time student and currently unemployed during my pregnancy journey. I spend most days at home, as most of my coursework is online. My pets are crate trained and respect boundaries. I also have baby gates for separation. I do not require crate training but it is extremely helpful if your pet is, so please let me know!

“Allison was a wonderful doggy daycare host! She was very easy to communicate with and sent pics/updates throughout the day. Her dog, Patrick, was very sweet, and Cleo came home happy and tired. We would absolutely use her 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.

“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.”

“Brittany took wonderful care of Walter for the day. He came home happy and healthy. Brittany was super easy to communicate with.”

“Remy seemed to really enjoy his stays with Jessica. Easy to communicate and really helped me in a pinch!”

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.
