“Allyson was awesome to work with! She was fast to respond and very accommodating and flexible. Our dog came home very tired so we knew she had a good time staying with Allyson. Will definitely rebook and recommend to others!”
“Beth is a fantastic caregiver for dogs! She gave us lots of updates and pictures and reached out with questions to make sure Nahla was happy and comfortable. Her yard and house is perfect for dogs to enjoy and be comfortable. Thanks for a wonderful stay!”
“My dog Kylo stayed with Kim and her family for the first time for about a week, and although it’s always a little nerve-wracking leaving him with a new sitter, especially for an extended length of time, Kim was gracious and communicative before and during my trip. She sent photos and even reached out when he had some tummy issues so we could help him feel well again. I’m truly grateful to have found her and will definitely book with her again.”
“Our dog Chewy was excited to meet Korah the very first time and every time she saw her. Korah is enthusiastic and energetic. She sent pictures & notes every day of how well Chewy did each day. Her notes were reassuring that Chewy was eating, drinking and happy playing with his new friends. It was a great experience for Chewy. We felt confident that Chewy was receiving great care. We will definitely have Korah care for Chewy the next time we are gone.”
“I’m very happy with the services provided to me and my pup! Daily updates, along with pictures and videos eased my worries about leaving my dog while I had to travel for work. I would recommend Madeleine and Anthony for their daycare, and boarding services.”
“Jake was great as always, our dog loves to stay with him. Jake sent photos and make sure our pup went for walks and had time in the yard. Would recommend him to anyone that will listen”
“Chris was amazing with our golden Wally— He made the process super easy and his confidence and ease with larger/active dogs was super helpful. He sent pictures and videos during his stay, and I could tell Wally loved all the outside time and exercise! Hope Chris is available next time!”
“Jennifer was great to work with and very friendly. She took time to meet with us ahead to get to know us and this helped us a lot since we had never used a boarding service before. Her own dogs are sweet and welcoming also, and she has family that help keep everyone happy. I recommend and would definitely work with her again in future!”
About: I’ve watched my neighbors animals. I’ve had pets of my own. What sets me apart, I would say. My heart. I wish I could have animals full time. Just can’t where I am. I work full time during the week, home every weekend. I’ll always make time to care for your pet/pets! Treat them like they’re mine. Ty. I have a secure entrance and an extra door coming to my apartment. I’ll always make sure they are on a leash outside. And they are welcome anywhere inside
“Our pup is turning 3 in June and we had never left her with anyone. We found Kessia and felt an instant connection. She confidently, but gently assured our pup and us that there was nothing to worry about, and her two pups instantly welcomed ours in playful banter. We have no concerns in leaving our pup with Kessia.”
About: Hi, I’m Bailey! 😄 I’ve had pets my whole life (30+ years) and have experience caring for dogs with extra needs, including daily insulin and neurological conditions. I currently have two cats, Mochi & Boba, and a dog, Charlie. Charlie loves making new doggie friends and would be happy to join on walks/drop ins if your dog is friendly, but no worries if they prefer solo time! I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and breeds. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a trip to the park, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to give your dog the care they need! ❤️ I’m currently working part time so I’m pretty flexible! I’m most flexible on the weekends & evenings, but I’m happy to work with your schedule and find a time that works best for you & your pet. I’ll come to your home to check on, care for, and love on your fur babies! I will make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and playtime while you’re away.
About: Having had pets all my life, I really understand how special dogs and cats are. I promise to treat your furry family member with the same care, respect, and love that they would expect at home. I have a flexible schedule and would like to fill my free time. Although I plan to go back to school in January, I’ll still be available for pet sitting. I have a fenced yard where your pup can play freely, and a cozy, smoke-free home perfect for snuggles. Currently, I don't have any pets in my home, and I'm preparing my space to be comfortable, warm, and welcoming for stays.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and honestly can’t remember a time when I wasn’t surrounded by pets. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I regularly dog sit for friends and family, and I genuinely love it. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I show up with patience, energy, and a lot of love. I take pet care seriously, but I also truly enjoy it. Being around animals is my happy place. I probably like them more than humans, but I’ll let your pet be the judge of that. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I’m typically home and have a flexible schedule. I’m usually out for a couple hours most days, but otherwise I’m around and able to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. On weekends I’m also fairly flexible and either at home or doing low-key activities, so I can adjust easily to the needs of each pet. I enjoy making pet care a consistent part of my routine and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I provide calm, attentive care based on each pet’s needs and comfort level. In my home, I keep things very relaxed with lots of supervision, cuddle time, potty breaks, playtime, and regular outdoor walks on a leash. I also make sure pets are fed on schedule and always have fresh water. In a client’s home, I prefer to focus on walks and potty breaks or quick check-ins depending on what’s needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking closely to their normal routine.

About: I have cared for over 30 dogs over my lifetime and grew up surrounded by dogs! Experience with all ages and temperaments. I love all animals and I can’t wait to meet yours!

I will keep you updated through sending TONS of photos and sharing details about our time together!
“Michelle regularly does check ins and has done a couple overnights for my pup. She arrives on time, takes great care of my dog, communicates, follow instructions, and sends lots of pics. She is incredibly nice and attentive to my pup and also this nervous dog mom lol. I am very selective in who let care for my gentle giant; I trust Michelle completely and know my baby is in amazing hands. She treats my dog like one of her own, his schedule is followed, and he gets to relax at home with lots of love while I am a way. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could! We are grateful for her at our house!”
“Victoria has been my best cat sitter by far. I used her for drop-in visits and she kept me well informed on how Rascal was doing and his catitude for that day. She let me know the one day she found some puke and watched him the rest of the week for any new occurrences and let me know that his litter box looked normal on his sickish day as well. I'm hoping she's available for any future vacations I take as she will be my go-to catsitter.”
About: We have had cats and dogs in our family my entire life. I was born and raised caring for our animals as family members. We have always had multiple cats and dogs, as well as assorted other critters. A few years ago, I lived in Madison working at a Doggy Daycare. There we had lots of training in dog body language and behaviors. I spent each day looking after a pack of at least 20 dogs. That job helped me gain lots of experience working with all kinds of different dogs, behaviors and personalities! The doggy daycare also implemented behavioral training. Each day we would work with the dogs and puppies to make sure we were working on positive behaviors with positive reinforcements! I am currently available to help be there for your furbabies and their needs! I would love to be the one to help them feel comfortable while you're away! I live in a spacious, pet friendly duplex. The current tenants include: my husband and myself, our two cats, Mister and Nilla, and my leopard gecko, Echo! I have access to plenty of areas to run and play, as well as a place to get plenty of cuddles! The care I give your pets will match what they need. I know that your fur babies are special and important to you and I intend to treat them as if they were my own. My place or yours, your furry friend will feel at home!
About: Hi! I’ve been around animals forever. I am currently a supervisor at a doggy daycare and have lots of experience with dogs! I also have a corgi of my own! I’m currently working part time at a doggy day care and as a babysitter. I have plenty of time to stay with/check in on your pets! I can provide your pet plenty of attention and safety. I love getting to know every animals individual personality and would love doing anything they love. Whether they love to go for walks, playing in the yard, or just chilling.
“Cortlyn was awesome! She was so comfortable with Zeke! With him being reactive I always get a little nervous with leaving him with other people but I felt he was in the best of hands!! Thank you for taking care of our boy!!”
About: I was a proud cat owner for almost 20 years with my own orange kitty named Tigger, and have always loved caring for all and any cats! A bond with a cat is like no other, and I would be honored to take care of yours!
About: I’ve had pets (dogs and cats) for my whole life. I often took care of neighbors animals when they would go out of town and always enjoyed it! Can’t wait to walk some dogs and cuddle some cats I am working part time and only work a few hours a week so I will have plenty of time to walk dogs or take care of animals! I am totally willing to do whatever needed for your animals! I am great at following directions and loving animals like they are my own!
About: I want your animal to feel at ease, or even excited when I interact with them. Nothing is worse than feeling like your fur baby isn't getting the care they deserve/need. Let me be the care taker that takes the time to figure out what your furry loved one needs, whether it's playing or just want some company, I'm here for it. Im a nurse by trade currently working part time. My schedule is flexible, and can schedule my hours around yours, within reason. Life happens, let me help relieve some of that stress. I have a fenced in yard and a 5 year old, 50 lb golden doodle named Franklin. He get daily morning walks and afterwards paws and ears get cleaned. Routines are important! Treats are appropriately plentiful, especially while building rapport or encouraging wanted behaviors. I follow your lead! Cc
About: I was fortunate enough to spend two years with a wonderfully handsome orange tabby cat named Ralph. Ralph showed me the love that cats have for their owners and how special the bond is with a cat that loves you. I understand that cats' personalities are very unique, and I am ready to meet them where they are.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. Whether that was our family pets, random stray cats, family/friend’s/neighbor’s cats & dogs, or lost or dumped pets, I was always the one to help. I have taken care of dogs ranging from Schnauzers, Beagles, Australian Shepards, to King German Shepards, including senior dogs as well. Two years ago I also adopted my dog, Eugene, who is a mix of Australian Shepard, Cattle Dog, Border Collie, & Collie. Being those breeds he is a very high energy guy so I am constantly taking him on walks, hikes, swims, and working on training him on the agility course. Adopting him has given me a lot more insight on the different ways dogs express themselves and how to work with them based on their own personalities and triggers. Not only have I taken care of various dogs and cats, I have also cared for fish, crabs, geckos, a ferret, hamsters, and even sea turtles! I am currently taking a break from my job to focus on my health so I will have availability most days. If there are any days that show unavailable that you need pet care just send me a message and I will see what I can do :) I have always treated every animal as if it were my own, following the exact care instructions, and ensuring they are happy and well taken care of. Having a dog myself I know how much they mean to you so it is my goal to treat them with the utmost care and love.

“Chris did great with the dogs! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!! He played fetch with our lab until she got tired (who can play fetch FOREVER... seriously forever). He’s very considerate, informative, and a true dog lover! I can tell he does is absolute best to give the pups the excersize and love they need and deserve!”

About: Hey there! I am an animal lover to the core. Let me be your pet's new best friend while you are away! I recently moved back to the Midwest to be closer to family, about two years ago. I was traveling constantly for work, but am now full time work from home. When I lived in another state for work, I did pet care as a part time job with private clients weekly. I grew to absolutely love it and would love to get established back in Wisconsin. I grew up with dogs, cats, and cows my entire life - being raised on a farm. I am the type of person who can’t stop without petting a dog whenever I see one! Providing companionship to your pet is my favorite thing to do. We can go on walks, eat food, and watch the latest Hulu show together! Your fur baby is welcome to sleep with me, on the floor, or in any bed or crate you bring. My two rescue cats absolutely LOVE other animals, so there is no worry there. They are so curious and eventually become besties! Since I am work from home full time now, so I am extremely flexible and they will have constant attention. I do live in an apartment, BUT, I am right next to the walking trail in River Prairie (the loop). I would be more than happy to go on as many walks as needed, and enjoy some sunshine with your fur baby! So do not worry, they can be outside as much or little as you’d like. I am open to care of all animals, all sizes, and all ages. If wanted, I visit my family farm quite often where we have extensive yard and land to run on. It is 100% an option for me to take your pet there if you want them to have some extra smells, especially if they stay long term with me. I’m extremely flexible and want you to not have to worry! While I traveled full time for work in the past, constant updates on my animals back home was crucial to me. I will provide as much or little communication you’d like. I’m here to meet you and your pet where you’d like and keep being away from them stress free. I promise they are in such caring hands! I work from home most days and go on daily walks myself! I would love to have a companion along with me to help make my place less lonely! During the weekends I can give even extra attention! I have access to the loop walk near River Prairie where i can take your pet for a potty break or for a walk! Depending how far they like to go - I can do the full three miles with them, or cut it shorter! I will be here with them to provide food, water, and care. Your pet will be my number 1 priority while I am with them!
“Hadyn was wonderful! She watched our Ruby on a last minute notice and sent us regular updates. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Thank you again Hadyn!”
“Highly recommend Mike—he was incredibly easy to work with, highly responsive, and flexible. He offered up a meet/greet in advance which was incredibly helpful. My pup Taco was comfortable with him right away—he is definitely a dog lover!”

“Korah was flexible with our quick changes due to family schedules and we were so grateful to know our Beau was taken care of. We appreciated the pictures and the timely responses. We’d use Korah again and again!”
“Tori was the first dog walker Winnie has had. I'm very happy to learn Tori and Winnie were best friends by the end of the walk. I will definitely use her again when I'm away for long days to give Winnie a break from her guard duty watching out the front window.”

About: I currently have 2 dogs and 2 long haired cats. Being a registered nurse I have a lot of experience giving medications to humans, but also animals. I have some grooming experience given my cats need for it. I have extensive reactivity training in dogs as one of ours has struggled since she was a puppy. I would love to make your fur-baby feel loved and cared for while you have the peace of mind while on vacation or work. I am currently a registered nurse, so my schedule is very open and I can shift things around as needed to help out! I do not work a straight routine, so have many open spaces. I would gladly watch your animals in your home so they continue to have the comfort of their natural area and no added stress of being somewhere they do not know. I will gladly follow whatever rules or schedule you set up!
About: Hi! My name is Grace, and I had the honor of being a proud pet owner for nearly 20 years. I had the opportunity to care for my dog, Marley, for 13 beautiful years, and my cat, Tigger, for almost 20! Growing up with pets taught me respect, responsibility, and safety around animals from a young age, and has allowed me to take part in many other pet caring opportunities since then! I give my time to all pets in my care, young or old, and it is always a fun time, every time! I have loved animals my entire life, and I will treat your pet as my own, along with giving them the best experience I would want my own pet to be given! I am currently available on select weekends, and can also fit time in during the week in the evenings, whether it be a walk, feeding, or even bath-rooming. I experience housesitting for others between 2-14 days at a time. I am a teacher during the day and a dance coach in the evenings, and due to this schedule, I am unavailable for drop-in’s between 7am-5:30pm. I am very patient when it comes to taking care of pets, and am attentive to their individual needs. I give appropriate reinforcement, along with discipline when needed. I am unable to care for pets in my own home at this time, but am more than willing to care in your own home, if needed!
About: I’ve taken care of many animals over the years. I have given medication wrapped in cheese or wieners, and I have also been given insulin shots to a dog before. Plain and simple I love animals and just want to help them enjoy life.!! I’m trying to work part-time as a Rover person. I love animals and I enjoy being with them as much as possible. I have a dog in my own, which I tend to. He is my love and my family. But I can definitely take time away from him to give your baby some love and attention. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I will take good care of your animal as if it was my own. That’s just the way I feel and I hope that I could give you the greatest experience, taking care of your animal.

About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets. From cats, dogs, birds, rodents and farm animals. I am also able to take care of animals with higher needs. I’ve had elderly pets who need medication and animals that I have found with injuries that I took care of. I am available all week and I occasionally visit my parents on the weekend. Other than that I do not leave town often, if I do ever have a trip planned I would update my schedule. I know how important routines are so sticking to what is requested is essential. Animals that need to be kept separate is also an important thing to know.

About: I volunteered at an animal shelter for two and a half years. My family has had many pets and I was always their primary caretaker. Currently, I have had my dog for 8 years and my husband and I recently adopted our cat Buster together. I have also had experience with smaller animals like guinea pigs and rabbits. I am able to walk, bathe, brush, clip claws, feed, exercise, and play with cats and dogs of all ages. I am a teacher so I am available mostly during evenings for drop in visits and walks. During common break times such as Spring Break or summer I would be available for overnight house sitting. Weekends are usually fully open! I am experienced in keeping animals safe and healthy. This includes playing and exercising with them, making sure they get food and water, and cleaning after them.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats for most of my life and grew up in a home where animals were always part of the family. Throughout my childhood, we always had both a dog and a cat, which gave me the opportunity to understand and support pets through all stages of their lives. Being raised around animals has brought me so much joy, and I truly love spending time with them, whether that’s playing, going for walks, or simply giving them attention and affection. In addition, I have three years of experience walking dogs, which has helped me develop patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of different temperaments and needs. If you choose me to care for your pet, I promise to treat them with the same love and attention I would give my own, and to care for them to the very best of my abilities. I'm currently a student and work a part-time job; however, I usually have 2-hour gaps in my day. This is to accommodate time to take your pet out to potty, go for walks, or just have some playtime. Then after 3 pm I am free during the evenings. I’m unable to host pets in my own home; however, I will treat your home with the utmost respect and ensure your pet receives the same love, care, and attention I would give my own.
About: We are a family that loves animals! The kids are very hands-on with our animals including feeding and walking. Our two dogs love other dogs and are very social. We have 20 acres for the animals to take walks and get energy out. My husband and I are both teachers so we have two different schedules depending on the time of year. In the summer, we are often home and are often outside with our pets. During the school year, we are gone from 7-4 for work. We have 20 acres of land that we like to take walks on including trails through the woods. We take our own dogs for walks every morning and often in the afternoon. You will often find us outside with our animals doing chores, playing, or hanging out.

“Allyson was awesome to work with! She was fast to respond and very accommodating and flexible. Our dog came home very tired so we knew she had a good time staying with Allyson. Will definitely rebook and recommend to others!”
“My dog Kylo stayed with Kim and her family for the first time for about a week, and although it’s always a little nerve-wracking leaving him with a new sitter, especially for an extended length of time, Kim was gracious and communicative before and during my trip. She sent photos and even reached out when he had some tummy issues so we could help him feel well again. I’m truly grateful to have found her and will definitely book with her again.”
“Our dog Chewy was excited to meet Korah the very first time and every time she saw her. Korah is enthusiastic and energetic. She sent pictures & notes every day of how well Chewy did each day. Her notes were reassuring that Chewy was eating, drinking and happy playing with his new friends. It was a great experience for Chewy. We felt confident that Chewy was receiving great care. We will definitely have Korah care for Chewy the next time we are gone.”
“I’m very happy with the services provided to me and my pup! Daily updates, along with pictures and videos eased my worries about leaving my dog while I had to travel for work. I would recommend Madeleine and Anthony for their daycare, and boarding services.”
“Jake was great as always, our dog loves to stay with him. Jake sent photos and make sure our pup went for walks and had time in the yard. Would recommend him to anyone that will listen”
“Chris was amazing with our golden Wally— He made the process super easy and his confidence and ease with larger/active dogs was super helpful. He sent pictures and videos during his stay, and I could tell Wally loved all the outside time and exercise! Hope Chris is available next time!”
About: I’ve watched my neighbors animals. I’ve had pets of my own. What sets me apart, I would say. My heart. I wish I could have animals full time. Just can’t where I am. I work full time during the week, home every weekend. I’ll always make time to care for your pet/pets! Treat them like they’re mine. Ty. I have a secure entrance and an extra door coming to my apartment. I’ll always make sure they are on a leash outside. And they are welcome anywhere inside
“Our pup is turning 3 in June and we had never left her with anyone. We found Kessia and felt an instant connection. She confidently, but gently assured our pup and us that there was nothing to worry about, and her two pups instantly welcomed ours in playful banter. We have no concerns in leaving our pup with Kessia.”
“Awesome sitters! They were flexible on pickup/dropoff times, sent lots of pictures, and really cared for our dogs. We never use sitters so we were nervous to be away from our dogs, but they took such great care of them and made us feel comfortable leaving them. Will definitely book them again in the future!”
“Rebecca took excellent care of Aurora and sent daily updates of the fun and love Aurora was getting. Anyone who uses her services will be highly satisfied. I would definitely rebook in the futures”
About: Having had pets all my life, I really understand how special dogs and cats are. I promise to treat your furry family member with the same care, respect, and love that they would expect at home. I have a flexible schedule and would like to fill my free time. Although I plan to go back to school in January, I’ll still be available for pet sitting. I have a fenced yard where your pup can play freely, and a cozy, smoke-free home perfect for snuggles. Currently, I don't have any pets in my home, and I'm preparing my space to be comfortable, warm, and welcoming for stays.
“Outstanding dog sitter We can’t say enough great things about Alison! From the moment we met, we knew Buddy was in the best hands. She was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. Having her dogs with Buddy was an added bonus as they got along great. Throughout the stay, we loved getting pictures and regular updates and thoughtful check-ins that gave me total peace of mind. We will definitely use Alison again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and honestly can’t remember a time when I wasn’t surrounded by pets. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I regularly dog sit for friends and family, and I genuinely love it. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I show up with patience, energy, and a lot of love. I take pet care seriously, but I also truly enjoy it. Being around animals is my happy place. I probably like them more than humans, but I’ll let your pet be the judge of that. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I’m typically home and have a flexible schedule. I’m usually out for a couple hours most days, but otherwise I’m around and able to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. On weekends I’m also fairly flexible and either at home or doing low-key activities, so I can adjust easily to the needs of each pet. I enjoy making pet care a consistent part of my routine and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I provide calm, attentive care based on each pet’s needs and comfort level. In my home, I keep things very relaxed with lots of supervision, cuddle time, potty breaks, playtime, and regular outdoor walks on a leash. I also make sure pets are fed on schedule and always have fresh water. In a client’s home, I prefer to focus on walks and potty breaks or quick check-ins depending on what’s needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking closely to their normal routine.
