Pet Sitting Truax

“We always book Jen first when she's available! She's so good with our cats and very flexible. She was able to accommodate some last minute dietary changes and the boys love her. She also gets some of the best candid photos I've seen of them! Will be booking again”

“Megan was amazing!! My standoffish cat was won over almost immediately, Megan took great care of her and my place while I was out of town. She truly went above and beyond. My cat had to go to the emergency vet while I was away and she was really prompt with communicating what was wrong (an underlying issue popped back up while I was away unfortunately), took her in, and sat with her until she was good. I can’t express how much I appreciate her really caring for my cat and making sure she was safe and heathy! 💖”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—growing up in a home full of fish, birds, cats, dogs, and rodents taught me early on that pets are family. I truly believe every animal deserves love, patience, and attentive care. Today, I share my home with my friendly dog Birdie, who loves meeting new furry friends and makes a great playmate. My two kids are also passionate animal lovers, and together we create a safe, warm, and pet-friendly environment. I’m experienced in administering medications, whether pills, drops, or topical treatments, and I’m happy to support pets with special needs. I also offer daily walks for exercise and enrichment, and I’m comfortable with crate training if it’s part of your routine. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or relaxed, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own. I work full-time during the week, but on my weekends off, I love spending my time caring for animals. Pet care has always been a part of my life, and I’m excited to offer reliable, loving support to fellow pet parents when I’m available. Whether it’s weekend drop-ins, walks, or cuddles while you’re away, I’m here to help give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is fully pet-friendly and thoughtfully pet-proofed to ensure a secure environment. I use baby gates to create designated pet areas, so dogs can have their own space or be kept out of certain rooms when needed. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard—perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Fresh water is always available in multiple areas of the home to keep pets hydrated throughout the day. Whether your pet loves to run or relax, they’ll have a secure, comfortable, and caring space to enjoy.

“Keely was great with my kitties. She was super easy to communicate with and went above and beyond. I trusted her and hope to have her care for my kitties again!”

“Samantha did a wonderful job caring for our three cats, they were sad we came home because they loved her so much!”

“I can't say enough good things about our experience with Hailey! She went above and beyond for us and our cats while we were away for 2 weeks. Her communication was top notch, she sent lots of photos each day, and was incredibly patient with our cats who need to be separated right now. If you are looking for a reliable and kind cat-sitter, look no further!”

“Taylor was wonderful with Louise. She came everyday, kept his bowl filled and spent time with him. Was very pleased with her service and she sent a bunch of photos. Thanks Taylor!!”

About: I've helped out at a shelter for a large chunk of my life before I moved for college, taking care of dogs and cats. I have some experience with basic training as well. I'm currently in college so my schedule changes with my classes, and outside of school i'm usually hanging out with my cats but I'd be happy to share that love with your pets as well. I try and keep any pet in my care safe, even if I'm only giving them a walk or checking in on them. I care for any pets just like they are my own.

About: Hello! I am a pet and house sitter based in Madison WI. My family has always owned dogs and we name them after Peanuts characters! Currently my parents have Peppermint Patty and my brother has Violet. I love spending time with furry friends of all sizes, breads, and ages! I have experience with a variety from a mom and her new born puppies to a 16 year old black lab. I love to be outside and always happy for the company of a furry friend. I believe it is our job to make their lives just as wonderful as they make ours. As I currently don’t have a pet of my own yours will receive my full attention! I welcome the company of other friends from the animal kingdom such as birds, fish, and bunnies. As a long time pet sitter, care for your furry friend is easily integrated into my normal routine. I work remote two days a week allowing for greater flexibility in stoping in to see your pet. I strive to maintain your furry friends normal routine while you are away. I have experience administering medications, ensure they don’t go too long without a bathroom opportunity, maintain a clean and safe environment. I am a detail oriented person and take that approach into pet care.

“Brittany was kind, friendly, and great at communicating. She paid attention to details and even offered to help with extras beyond the cats. I’d recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.”

About: Hi! My name is Marcela, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for both dogs and cats. I have two dogs of my own, Chester and Athena. Chester is my small rescue dog, and I’ve had him since I was 9 years old. I truly grew up with him, and he has been by my side for most of my life. Chester is deaf, and as he’s gotten older, he has also developed anxiety and takes medication to help manage it. Over the years, I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and understanding an animal’s individual needs can be. I communicate with Chester using hand signals and gentle body language, and caring for him has taught me so much about connecting with animals at every stage of life. Athena is my pit bull, and we love spending time outdoors with our animals. Whether we’re going for walks, playing, or simply enjoying the fresh air, I genuinely love giving animals attention, exercise, and plenty of affection. Athena has also had difficulty getting along with other dogs, so we worked with her through training to help her become more comfortable and learn how to interact appropriately. This has given me firsthand experience with the patience, structure, and careful management that some dogs need when around other animals. I also have hands on experience caring for a cat with significant medical needs. My cat, Fergi, was diagnosed with HCM and eventually developed end stage heart failure. During his illness, I became very familiar with the day to day care that comes with heart failure, including administering medications, monitoring his breathing, appetite, energy, and behavior, and paying close attention to small changes in his condition. Going through that experience also taught me how difficult it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care when they’re sick or have special needs. I know how much worry can come with wondering if they’re okay while you’re away. Because of that, I want to be the kind of person who gives another pet parent that same sense of comfort and reassurance, knowing their pet is being watched over with patience, love, and genuine care. I absolutely love cats, and after recently losing Fergi, I’m not quite ready to bring another cat into my home yet. I would, however, love the opportunity to care for and spend time with other people’s cats. It would be really special to have that connection again while giving your cat the love and attention they deserve. I also take pride in the everyday care I give my own pets, including brushing my dogs’ teeth daily. I’m happy to provide routine care like this when requested, along with walks, playtime, feeding, medication, and plenty of companionship. Whether your pet is young, a senior, anxious, shy, energetic, or needs medication or extra patience, I’ll treat them with the same kindness and attentiveness I give my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, and my goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re apart. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! ❤️ I have a flexible schedule since my partner and I run our own microgreens farm. This allows me to work pet care into my schedule and be flexible with walks, drop ins, and stays. 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.

“Mary is wonderful! We hired her to check on our cat, Kirree, last minute before going out of town for a weekend, and Mary was responsive, trustworthy, and enthusiastic. She shared clear and descriptive updates and pictures from her visits with Kirree. She seems to have a way with cats and Kirree was thrilled to see her. I will definitely hire Mary again.”

“Sofi was patient and caring for my dog. My dog warmed up to Sofi more and more each drop in visit. She was great at communicating and sent adorable pictures. Very reliable!”

About: Returning after a hiatus! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to bring my laptop to your home so I can spend extra time keeping your pet company. . As a cat owner (and former dog owner) myself, I know how much the little details matter. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, habits, and changing needs, and follow their usual feeding, play, and rest routines as closely as possible. . Whether your pet loves attention or prefers a little space, I’ll take my cues from them and help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I work from home fulltime and have a fairly flexible schedule. I’m happy to work at your home to spend extra time with your pet. I’m very aware of changes in pet personality and needs. I’ll pattern play and care as close to their normal routine as possible, encouraging them to feel safe and secure despite their human(s) being away.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and I love to take care of them to ensure they stay happy and healthy! I can take care of many different types of animals! Throughout my life I've owned dogs, cats, bunnies, a guinea pig, a tortoise and a bearded dragon. I have experience bathing (only dogs), grooming pets, and giving dogs oral medication without hiding it in a treat. Most of all, I love spending time with your pets and keeping them company while their owners are away. My schedule is pretty irregular but I am available a lot of the time! Always feel free to reach out with any questions about my current availability! I like to keep things the way I found them and not leave any mess for the owner to clean up. I provide the regular services like feeding or walking your pet of course, but I mainly strive to spend as much time with your pet as I can.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was old enough to know what a pet was, whether it’s my own, a neighbor’s, or a friend/family member’s. I love animals, and am considering going into vet work! I have experience with both puppies/kittens and seniors as well :). I can walk, feed, give meds, and do anything you need! I’m a full-time student during the week, but I will always have time to drop-in, or stay overnight. I’m very flexible with my scheduling, so I will happily do whatever you and your pet need! While I can’t offer boarding at my home because I have four roommates, I will care for pets in every way possible no matter what! I know some nice parks for walks, and I’m also happy to chill if they’re a homebody! Again, entirely up to you and your pets needs :)

“Renee was do kind and attentive to our two kitties. They enjoyed her visits and she went above and beyond to make them comfortable and happy. Highly recommend Renee to anyone that is in need of pet sitting!”

About: Multiple years of experience taking care of pets that aren't my own. Very attentive and safe. Can go any distance or time with a pet. I am currently working a part time job so I have plenty of time to walk or play with pups. I am very flexible with hours. I am very attentive with feeding, walking, and playing with dogs. I have a safe environment for dogs in my car and house if needed.

“Julie was an awesome sitter. I have a German Shepherd that requires extra care and Julie did an excellent job taking care of him. She was very communicative and always sent photos of my boy whenever she dropped by. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a dog sitter. You will get peace of mind when you are away and your dog will be happy and well taken care of when you come back.”
