“This was Gatsby’s second time staying with Edith and he had a blast. The second we pulled up to Edith’s house he lost his mind with excitement realizing where we were! Edith sent frequent updates and photos and I knew Gatsby was getting the best care. Thanks Edith!”
“I cannot express enough gratitude and how exceptionally accommodating Kristin & Bruce (& of course their little darlings as well!) were with my little pup Ellie! It was a spur of the moment decision to check into a pup sitter while in town for my UW Madison freshman’s 1st football game & what a gem we found!! Booked the appt & met the fam w/in an hour & were so incredibly impressed & confident w/them that we modified our booking for an overnight stay! Having not planned a sitter, we showed up without her bed or paperwork yet were still fully welcomed into their home. Little Ellie (3.5 lb 5.5 mo. Yorkie) spent the day playing with the kiddos inside & out then snuggled with mom & dad all night!🥰 Since I’m now an empty nester, I honestly believe she wasn’t ready to leave when we came for pickup! She was definitely living her best life and I will, without a doubt, be booking further appointments as I pop into town for a visit!”
“Katie and Samuel were great to Jarvis and sent us several updates throughout his stay. They also have a gated backyard to help with energetic dogs. I would highly reccomend!”
“Appreciated the regular pictures Janice sent - AND, all the walks / long hikes that Jackson got - great exercise in addition to running around the fenced back yard, playing with other furry friends!! THANKS also for the care you provided when Jackson was fearful of the weather!!”
“I would absolutely recommend Yoki and Derek to care for Wrigley again! Wrigley was well cared for and played all weekend, coming home a tired pup! Very nice photo updates.”
About: I have been self-employed as a full-time dog sitter for the past 15 years. Prior to opening my dog sitting business I worked as an assistant dog trainer using positive reinforcement training methods. I require a meet and greet before confirming dates so you can see where your dog will be staying, you and your dog(s) can meet me in-person and see the house and yard. We will also discuss their care and specific needs. I have been a dog parent since 2004. I am a full-time dog sitter so I am always with the dogs to ensure they are properly cared for and getting all the exercise, love and attention they deserve. Dogs go in/out as much as they want and get all the love and attention they would just like at home. The yard is fully fenced and there is a ramp so senior dogs have an easier time getting in/out. I have crates set up for those dogs that are normally crated but it is not required for a dog to be crated. All dogs are allowed on the furniture and there are several dogs beds to choose from as well. Of course you can always bring your own if your dog would feel more comfortable having something from home. There is no shortage of treats, cuddles and time outside. I have experience caring for senior dogs, those with medical conditions, separation anxiety and fear of new people.

Hope R.
“I have used Hope’s services for multiple dogs for over a decade. They were very well cared for during daycare and overnights. As a nervous dog mom who hates to do be away from her fur babies I never worried when they were with Hope. Many of my dogs were rescued from puppy mills were not well socialized and timid with people. Weekly daycare visits with Hope helped them to come out of their shells. They love going to Hope’s and often do not want to leave when I come to pick them up.”

Our first time with Renee and we have already booked for July! She shared photos of walks to picnic point and was very responsive and a joy to interact with.

Our Yorkie Willy seemed to have a great time with Sophia, and also got lots of love from friends around her. She sent us plenty of pictures of him during the weekend he was with her, and was very communicative. We happily recommend her to others!
Nikhil was wonderful to my dog! He took her on walks every day, was aware of her eating and comfort...treated her like his own pet. I trust him and am relieved to find someone that I can feel comfortable with!
Lauren watched my 1 year old puppy for 4 nights, and she was extremely accommodating with drop off & pick up, as well as a meet & greet on short notice. Lauren took good care of her and sent lots of adorable photos playing, sleeping, and on walks. I would definitely recommend her.
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She took amazing care of my 45-pound Labrador-retriever puppy overnight and was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive. What really stood out was her flexibility—she was understanding with timing and made the whole experience stress-free. My pup came back happy and relaxed, which says everything. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, loving care!
Kaitlyn was an amazing dog sitter! She was super friendly, kept us updated throughout the weekend, and asked all the right questions to make sure everything went smoothly. I’d happily book her again anytime.
We are always confident boarding Nelly with Shay! We so appreciate all the photo updates, and can tell Nelly is very happy and comfortable!
Hannah was great!! She kept me posted with how Dora was doing and I could tell from her pictures and videos that she was having a great time!
We could tell our dog Chevy enjoyed his weekend with Sydney and her boyfriend! She made a meet and greet work before his stay and made sure it was a good fit for everyone! He got many walks and lots of playtime & cuddles! We would recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a sitter.
