House Sitting in University Apartments, Madison, WI

“Julie is an amazing dog sitter. Best we have had through Rover yet. She watched our two dogs, one of which is a senior dog with health issues and requires medication. I couldn't recommend her more highly!”

Kym A.

“Lydia was great with Jaxon! We so appreciated her communication and photo updates. It made the house stay process very comforting knowing she was there.”

Abbey S.

“Katie was fantastic with my dog, who really seemed to take to her and wasn't anxious as he sometimes can be in new settings with new people. Katie sent frequent updates and photos, always seemed to have my dog's best interests in mind and she quickly adjusted to some unavoidable last-minute changes in the booking. She really helped me out in a challenging situation, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”

Karen R.

“Louisa and her daughter did a great job of communicating with me, though their stay was short. My cat loved the attention they gave her. Her coat was beautifully soft and clean from all the brushing. I would definitely schedule them again when I am out of town.”

Judy B.

“Appreciate Jolie's diligent care for my buddies while I was away. Communicated well and tended to each of my dogs specific needs. Would be happy to have her back the next time I need a sitter.”

About: Experienced caring for dogs of all sizes, along with house cats, rodents and reptiles. Particular experience with medium and large size dogs who are anxious/reactive. Rates lowered while I establish myself on Rover. I work from home, so your dog will get a lot of attention when I care for them (and they'll probably get a nickname or two). Walks, bathroom breaks, visits to the dog park, and lots of pets and ear scratches all fit into my daily and weekly schedule with ease. I have a lot of experience with anxious dogs in particular, so am used to reading what a dog needs and wants with a close eye. I take care to make sure that a dog is comfortable with me, that I respect their boundaries, that I respond to their needs, and that we remove ourselves from any situation that might upset or overwhelm them. I often ask a pet owner for details about their dog's usual routine, any particular habits they have, their behavior on leash, and what gives them comfort. This helps me better respond to what the dog is sharing about their needs.

“Hannah was wonderful to work with! I have a very anxious dog who doesn’t like new people, but Hannah knew how to handle her. She was very patient with her and they ended up getting along well. Hannah was also very responsive and communicative. I would definitely trust her to sit my dog in the future!”

“Terry did an amazing job watching our fur babies! She gave us daily updates and took care of our babies and apartment wonderfully. The litter box was freshly cleaned when we got home, and the place was very clean! She’s amazing.”

Allyssa F.

“Did great! Kept me updated and sent pics. Could barely tell I had a houseguest; cleaned up after herself very well. Would/will use again!”

Jesse T.

“Sophie was amazing with my dog, Skye, who is a rescue husky (and is therefore VERY anxious)! Sophie made her feel at ease really quickly and I could tell how happy Skye was from the pictures she sent! I missed her a lot but knew she was having fun and making a new friend in Sophie! I will absolutely book her again and recommend her VERY highly!”

Kelly H.

“Ashley recently dog/house sat for us for several days. Using our dog's reaction to our return of "oh, you're back. Cool." as a guide, apparently she barely knew we were gone. :) Ashley shared info and photos, followed our feeding and care guidelines, and even stripped the sheets on the bed.”

Eileen K.

“Anna did a great job with our dog Oscar! Anna took him on multiple walks and was excellent with updates and sending photos. We will most definitely use Anna again!”

Don W.

“Sabrina took amazing care of our two cats, including our asthmatic boy Sebastian who needs a daily inhaler. We received daily updates and photos, and it was clear the cats were happy and comfortable in her care. On top of that, Sabrina went above and beyond by picking up our mail and even watering a plant (little things that made a big difference). Would definitely recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for a responsible and genuinely kind sitter!!”

Nate G.

“Corrine did a fantastic job taking care of our pup. The house was well taken care of and Corrine was great with keeping us updated and sending pics. Will absolutely recommend Corrine and would love to have her stay again!”

“Drew is terrific. Or flight home was delayed and caused us to miss our connection… would’ve been sick with worry but Drew cared for our pup and stayed an extra night. Returned to a happy dog and clean home. So happy!”

Kathleen T.

“Chris was incredibly professional, attentive and caring. From our first communication via text, to updates while he cared for our two Great Danes—I always felt comfortable that he knew what he was doing and genuinely cared for our dogs. I would highly recommend him to care for anyone’s pets in the future!”
