“Olivia watched my cat, Tony, for 8 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care alongside her two cats. I received daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Tony was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. 10/10!”

“Mary took our dog for our wedding weekend and she was great! Pugsy had a great time with her dog, going on a walk, and going to the dog park! She sent pictures and we did not worry about Pugsy at all! We will definitely book with Mary in the future!”
“Sure! Here's a thoughtful review you can leave for Ryan and Martha: --- Ryan and Martha were absolutely wonderful with Yogi! From the start, their communication was excellent — clear, prompt, and always thoughtful. They made dropoff and pickup incredibly easy and were very flexible with the timing, which we really appreciated. Throughout Yogi’s stay, they sent us regular updates and the sweetest photos that clearly showed how happy and comfortable he was. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. You can tell they genuinely care about animals and treat them like part of the family. We would absolutely trust them with Yogi again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, responsible, and communicative pet sitters.”

“Jolie has been super helpful. She loves animals and cares about them. She also respects and meets pet owners' needs. I couldn’t be happier with booking her. She is taking care of my babies, and I will definitely work with her again in the future.”
“Nasimul and Dominique took great care of my two cats. They went above and beyond to make sure that they were well cared for and entertained while I was traveling, and they kept me updated with lots of photos.”
“Amy did such an amazing job! Even my shy cat came out for photos. She took extra care to ensure she was playing with them, which felt great as some people assume “they are just cats” and don’t need that extra interaction. Her updates were thorough, and I’m definitely getting some of the pictures she took of them framed!! After an especially scarring experience with a prior sitter, it feels nice to be able to trust someone again. Will definitely be using her again”
“Vanessa really has a way of putting me and the cats at ease. She was very professional during the meet and greet, took notes while I explained the feeding routine and asked relevant questions. I left for my trip knowing the cats would be in good hands. She also takes great pet photos. I felt like she really respected each of my cats and their individual boundaries. I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone needing cat care.”

“We really appreciated Hannah. She was prompt and professional and showed immense comfort around my 3 dogs who had never been let out by someone they didn't know. I'd use her every time!”
“Brittany did a great job taking care of my three cats, including dealing with some inappropriate urination one of my cats was doing. She did an extra cleaning of the pine litter boxes which I really appreciated.”
“Miranda was great with our cats, and they came out to see her which is rare for them! I loved the updates that she gave us while we were away. She was also super adaptable when an unexpected situation arose in our travel plan. Will definitely use her services in the future.”
“Natalie was fantastic with our Cat. She was communicative, reliable and we came home to a very happy cat after being gone for an extended trip. Would highly recommend and we hope to work with her again in the future.”
“My cat is very skittish, and Sierra did a great job meeting him where he's at!! She took care of him and sent pictures while respecting his space :) I'll definitely book with her again!”
“I really appreciate the love and attention Rhiannon gave during the visits. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands while I was away. The updates and photos were so thoughtful and made me feel connected even from afar. Thank you for keeping everything clean and making ssure they were happy and comfortable. I’ll definitely reach out again next time I need help. You were amazing!”
About: I've lived with cats my whole life and have been caring for them while friends and family travel since I was in high school. From playful kittens to senior cats, I'm comfortable arounds cats of all ages. Most of my experience is in-home visits, where I have been responsible for feeding, litter box cleaning, medication, and playtime. I know routine is important for cats, so I make sure to follow whatever schedule you expect. I don't have a cat of my own right now, which means I'd love to give yours plenty of attention!
“Karly is an incredible sitter. She stopped in on our cat multiple times across a 10 day vacation. She gave so much love and attention to our cat and went above and beyond in her care. Would highly recommend Karly for any of your pet sitting needs!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bay Creek
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I've had dogs ever since I was a little kid and would do anything for them. I've also worked with dogs for the past 2 years. I have a Rat Terrier of my own and will make sure to treat your dog like they're my own. I’m used to all kinds of dogs whether it be age, energy level, or condition as I’ve had a mix of all at my job and growing up! I'm a student with lots of breaks between my classes meaning I’m usually only gone for less than two hours and I have lots of free time on the weekends. Max I’ll be gone is four hours, but that rarely happens. My dog is very friendly and energetic, but also knows when a dog doesn’t want to play. She’s very silly and loves to sleep! I live near the lake and can take your dog out often as there’s a nice trail along the lake and campus is pedestrian friendly. I live in an apartment, so I’m looking to host dogs who are comfortable in a quieter environment. Since I share walls with neighbors, I’m best suited for dogs who aren’t big barkers. That being said, I love dogs with a personality! A little energy and playfulness is totally welcome, I just ask that barking is kept to a minimum. Dogs are allowed to free roam around the apartment whether I’m with them or gone. If your puppy has energy to burn but knows when to settle down, we’ll get along great! In your own home I will take on any type of dog with any energy level! I will make sure to care for your dog while you are away just as you care for them while you’re in your house. A dogs safety and their comfort are a top priority for me! I also have a fenced in patio with dog grass if your pup needs a quick potty break!
“Robert is one of my favorite Tover sitters. He is incredibly professional and takes good care of my little peanut, Ziva. Gives walk reports and sends a few pix during the day. Highly recommended; I have referred him a few others. He is a busy guy - book early! Thanks so much🐾♥️🐾.”
“Julie let me know a new dog would be present at the same time as my dog, and she made sure to attempt to make introduce successful with a 3rd dog. She let me know she was able to keep dogs in separate areas as needed, let dogs have space from each other, and make sure my pup was safe and comfortable.”
“Wolfy had such a great day with Mary and her family. He can back very happy, and Mary sent several lovely photos of his time. Mary was also flexible with me when my plans changed after booking, which was so appreciated.”
“5+ stars. Such a great sitter. Our dog Holly had a wonderful time there. Holly did a ton of running and playing with the other dogs. Originally we had Holly to just be watched during the day. I had something come up that night and Emma agreed to keep Holly overnight and I picked Holly up afternoon next day. Emma is an awesome dog watcher and I highly recommend!! Will be back again!! A+ work”
“Manu is great with our dog, she takes her on walks by the water and plays with her. My dog gets SO excited when we pull up to Manu’s house because she knows she’s about to have a fun day!”
“They did a marvelous job with our fur babies. We loved that they have a fenced in backyard. We usually do not like to leave our boys with sitters who have other dogs present; however, Biscuit was a gem along with the other dogs present our boys were relaxed when we picked them up. They send pictures to show how they are doing. Would definitely use this sitter again!”
About: I have been caring for dogs since 2013, starting when I was just 9 years old! In 2010, we rescued our first dog, Belle, a rat terrier. In 2021, we adopted another senior dog, Destiny, a miniature poodle, to keep Belle company. Sadly, they both passed away due to old age in 2024. The following summer, my family and I realized how incomplete our lives felt without dogs, so we decide to rescue two more senior dogs, Beanie and Pam! I am heartbroken to say Pam passed away May 17, 2026. My family believes that senior dogs are often overlooked and forgotten, but I love dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I look forward to the opportunity to take care of your furry friend! I will be taking asynchronous summer classes starting in mid-June. I’m hoping to start working as a PCW twice a week. I’m also waiting to hear back from research/phlebotomy positions. However, as of now, I am completely free all day every day! Studio apartment! Can take outside for walks etc. I want to ensure I’m home the whole time since it will be a new environment! Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter! I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furry friend.
About: I have taken care of dogs from all age groups. Whether a senior dog who needs frequent bathroom breaks or a puppy who wants lots of attention and reinforcement, I love all of them. Besides, being a tennis player means I gotta put my unlimited supply of balls to use:) I work from home three days a week. If our furry guest prefers lots of attention or frequent bathroom breaks, it would be a perfect match. I only take in one dog a time. There won’t be other pets at home. There’s a dog run in my apartment complex. I also live within walking distance of a dog park.
“My pup Popsicle looooves Cynthia! Cynthia is communicative and amazing, cares for her like family and gives thoughtful pupdates. Popsicle looks forward to seeing her every week!”
“Yecid was very attentive to my dog's care. He followed Max's feeding instructions and kept me informed and sent me photos throughout the day. I truly recommend this sitter. Thank you for your services, which I will use in the future.”
About: Former full-time human medical provider of 18 years; now available for pup sitting. Takes frequent walks with the neighborhood dog pack. Owner of one special dog named Tennessee. I’m free to organize my schedule between pet sitting and working on my business. Currently available most days until July 20th! Will update calendar when I know more. I like routine. I think pets appreciate kibble and potty breaks on a familiar schedule. I will honor your wishes for care, play, walks, and socializing.
“This was our first time with Luke. He was a terrific dog sitter! He took time to find out about Skye's history and special needs, to introduce her carefully to the two other dogs in his care, and to communicate promptly with me. The environment was calm, clean and dog-friendly. I was so happy to see pictures of Skye and thear that she was adjusting well. I hope to have Skye with Luke again in the near future.”
About: I am a person who truly loves taking care of dogs. I believe they are extremely important members of our lives and our families. Dogs bring joy, love, and positive energy into our home, and they always make us feel happier and more comfortable. I enjoy spending time with them, caring for their needs, and making sure they feel safe and loved. For me, dogs are not just pets, they are loyal companions who make our home a better place. Many years ago, I worked as a caregiver, and I have many years of experience taking care of dogs. Through that experience, I have learned how to understand how dogs feel by observing their actions, behavior, and body language. I pay close attention to their needs, moods, and energy levels to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Caring for dogs is something I take very seriously and do with patience and dedication. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I follow the pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, playtime, and rest. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language to understand how they are feeling and to meet their needs. I also keep their living area clean, provide exercise and companionship, and communicate with owners to ensure their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Jenny and Darin were great! They provided updates throughout the day and took great care of our slightly anxious puppy :) Will definitely book with them again!”

“It is nice to know that my four legged babies are taken care of. Nate does a good job walking them and sends pictures of interaction and walks. Gives me piece of mindvto know they are ok when I am away at work.”
About: I’m an incoming veterinary student and pet owner. I’ve grown up taking care of my cat and dog and love spending my time with animals. I have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past 3 years. Daily dog walks are an important part of my routine and I have a flexible schedule. I love meeting new people and animals on the island! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and am an active person. I also keep my dog leashed and am amenable to dog’s specific needs.
“I needed some last minute help with my senior dog, and Alissa responded back quickly and was able to help me out!! She came to meet our pets and get the layout, and helped us out almost right away! She is very kind and gentle with our Murphy and even gives our two cats some loving even though we booked her for a dog walk! As someone with OCD and anxiety, my brain and body feel comfortable and safe with Alissa taking care of our senior puppy when we aren’t at home. Looking forward to hopefully booking with her again!!”
About: I grew up with anywhere from 2-4 dogs of all sizes and medical needs, so I have heaps of experience with walks, playtime, and cuddles! I'm always the first one my friends call when they need a companion for their best friend! I have experience with older dogs, especially providing them with comfortable resting spots and lots of calm love. I work remote with a very flexible schedule for afternoon walks, play-time, and potty breaks. I can work from mostly anywhere with wifi and very rarely have meetings or time-sensitive obligations. I have experience with crate-trained dogs and can play with your furry best friend in your home, or take them to a park for some leashed playtime. I love long walks and love having a companion on my walks even more. I also enjoy running and would be happy to take your dog out on a run with me (if healthy for them).
“My dog loves Hannah! She is reliable and always shows up on time! She makes sure to let me know if she uses the bathroom and is overall very good at what she dos and I highly recommend her!”
“Olivia took great care of our dog Lily. She went out of her way to meet us ahead of time to make sure Lily was comfortable with her. Olivia was also great in making sure Lily had everything she needed after/during her walks.”
“Kaelyn was great! I was in town for a client-related travel/staying at a hotel and she was flexible for my one-off request and day-of tweaks. She's very easygoing, but has an attention to detail for when we had to switch from dog walks to drop-in visits instead. Given it was a hotel space, she was able to provide A+ care for Delphi given the temporary space/resources even I wasn't fully familiar with.”
About: I’m always excited to meet new pet friends! I have veterinary assistant experience. I am comfortable giving medications or more complex treatments such as insulin injections. I have an open and flexible schedule. I can do daily drop in visits and walks as needed. Since my time may fill up with other pet sitting appointments, early notice is preferred. I like to learn as much as possible about your fur babies’ personalities so I can cater to your pet’s behavioral needs and preferences. For walk safety, I like to use harnesses over collars to make sure your pup has less risk of slipping away.
About: Hello my name is Annamaria! I’m about to be a junior here at UW madison pursuing a career in nursing. I am very passionate about healthcare and quality patient care but I always loved animals! I have a lot of experience with dogs and a little with cats (though I am willing to learn). I have owned my dog for 17 years. She was a smaller dog but I also have experience with larger dogs from my step dad’s pitt mix who is now a senior. In addition I have done a lot of work at PAWs Chicago. I have clocked over 150 hours of volunteer service and fostered 14 dogs/puppies and 2 kittens. With fostering I have gained experience in potty training and giving medications of all kinds. With volunteering I have done a lot of dog and cat socialization and walks. Additionally in moving to level 2 volunteering I took a dog behavior class and gained experience in how to detect and react to rough and anxious behavior in pets. I also love going on walks especially in the summer so if you have a pet thats looking for some activity I’m your girl! I have also had experience with parakeets, hamsters, and guinea pigs (it was really easy to convince my mom to get new pets). As Summer approaches and classes our ending I’m looking at a lot of open availability starting May 16 to be flexible to owners needs. In my time volunteering I have seen that animals all have different personalities that can vary situation to situation so I really want to give your animals the space and patience to get to know me on their terms. Caring for my own animals at home incudes giving them the resources, love, and enrichment they need for a fulfilling day.
“So far it’s been great. Jackson really listens to everything that you mention about your pet (a huge change from previous dog walkers we’ve used). He takes great photos, and I know our dog will be well taken care of on his daily walk. He’s also very responsive (another great change from previous experiences). Thanks for taking great care of Remmy.”
About: I am a dog, cat and pet lover. I will stop 10/10 times to pet a dog and learn about him or her. At the local park, I know most of the dogs by their names and ironically, few of the owners haha. I would love the opportunity to spend time with someone's best friend and help out! I am very attentive, detail oriented and careful with animals. I also know animals are more than "pets" they are just like family. I would be honored to help take care of someone's best friend for a few hours or days to help out. I offer a safe, secure space for someones pet as well as close access to a park and outdoor space. I am available for walks as well as for visits or assistance on Fridays and most weekends. I believe dogs help people just as much as people help dogs! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to accommodate pet parents and their schedules as needed. I am able to offer short or longer walks, pet sitting and other services as needed. In my home, I have a clear open space and am able to spend close time with my clients pets while they are in my care. We are just a short distance to a small park with plenty of outside walking options. We can sit and watch tv, play catch, or take naps.
“Hillary did an amazing job walking my shy pup and quickly won her over! In addition to being amazing with my dog, Hillary did and excellent job communicating with me about how my dog did on their walks, tactics she used to help build up my dog's confidence, and Hillary even helped clean up a potted plant that my dog had knocked over one day. I would highly recommend Hillary to anyone looking for care for their pets!”
“Patrycja was a fantastic and professional caretaker for our dog Theo. Patrycja went above and beyond our expectations to give Theo great care and exercise, and did so consistently until we moved to a neighborhood.”
About: Hi, I’m Matthew. I’m a recent University of Florida graduate spending the summer in Madison with my partner, who just graduated from UW-Madison, before we relocate to Minneapolis for work. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and used to public-facing roles where clear communication, consistency, and trust matter. I love long walks, hiking, and being outside. I got my 10,000 steps a day in Florida summers so I have no issues with a long walk on a hot day. When I’m home in Miami, I walk my mom and stepdad’s German Shepherd and my dad and stepmom’s two Schnauzers, so I’m comfortable with both larger dogs and smaller dogs with different routines. I’ll take your instructions seriously, whether your dog needs a slow walk and lots of attention, a longer walk and extra playtime, help with food, brushing, or anything else specific. You can expect frequent updates, photos, and a GPS-tracked route if you’d like one. Happy to help! Pet care fits well into my summer routine. I'm currently working a remote internship with flexible hours so I have a lot of time, especially for weekday walks and drop-ins. I already spend a lot of time walking so getting paid for dog walks would be amazing. Since I'll be relocating in August, I'm especially available for recurring or one-time walks in June / July. I care for pets by following the owner's instructions and keeping their routine as closely as possible. In a client's home I'll respect the space, check doors, gates, leashes, food, water, and any written instructions, keep to myself, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable. For walks, I keep dogs leashed at all times unless you instruct otherwise. Given my experience handling a German Shepherd that weighs 90 lbs, I pay close attention to traffic, other dogs, heat, and your dog's pace. I'm comfortable with different walk styles depending on what you think is best.

“Michelle (and family) took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town for 2 days, even keeping her calm during a storm. Great communication, too!”
“I was nervous leaving our anxious dog with someone else, but Robert was patient with his interactions with Kipling and allowed Kipling to settle in at his own pace. Kipling had fun running around the fenced in yard with another dog and Robert kept us up to date with progress reports. Looking forward to the next visit where we can feel confident Kipling is being looked after.”
“Suellen did a super job keeping our mini poodle happy and safe while we were gone on a long, long trip. Her dogs Mia and Wes tolerated our busy guy so well, and we got regular updates from Suellen of walks and backyard play. We so appreciate that Tuck came home as himself, silly and obsessive, not the stressed out guy he has been before when we’ve done kennel stays. Thanks!”
“Neko came home exhausted so he must have had a wonderful time! Judd and Becky were so kind and worked well with us on a last minute request and we will absolutely use them again!”
“Da Yeon and her partner took such great care of my very energetic pup, Cricket, while I was on vacation for over a week. Da Yeon checked in to make sure I was happy with the frequency of updates she was sending, and was super flexible and helpful when I completely botched our return time. There's nothing better than knowing fur babies are in good hands when traveling, and I can't recommend Da Yeon enough - thank you for everything!”
About: I wanted a dog all my life, and I wish that I could say that I grew up with a dog, but my dad was allergic. Whenever I had the opportunity to care for neighbors' pets, I did and knew that I would adopt a dog as soon as I was a real adult (and financially stable). As soon as I moved from California and landed a permanent job, I adopted an Akita puppy. She (Clipsy) was my only family in the Midwest for 14 years, and I couldn't have loved her more. Our second dog, Zuki, is a rescue from Texas. Because she's a rescue, she has some anxiety whenever we leave, so I understand what it's like to want the best care for your pet (not in a kennel). Zuki loves friend dogs, so one reason we're dogsitting is because we want her to enjoy the company of another dog. Her bestie passed away from old age last year, and she would welcome company. Both my husband and I are animal lovers, of course. Zuki is mixed breed (cattle dog, lab, pyrenees, etc.), medium-sized dog who regularly plays at dog parks and is well socialized. I think that she would get along with any other non-aggressive dog as long as they go on a short walk together first. It's always best to meet in neutral territory, and we would prefer a quick preliminary meeting with our dogs before the actual dogsitting date. We also have 9 chickens, and Zuki is trained to guard them from hawks or other predators. We realize that most dogs will chase chickens, so your dog would be on a leash or the chickens will be cooped if your dog wants to explore the relatively large backyard. If your dog finds chicken poop tasty, they will be closely supervised because...you know. My husband works remotely, and I teach but am relatively free in the summer. Thus, we have time to make sure that you dog is comfortable in our house and gets attention & frequent potty breaks. The Winnequah Dream Park is one block away, and we normally go for 1-2 walks every day. We have three dog beds scattered throughout the house, so you don't have to lug along your dog bed if it's inconvenient. We also have spare dog bowls, leashes, a ton of dog toys to share, and a tie-out rope. I'm happy to text photos/videos of your dog daily if you'd like. If you're not a fan of texts, I'll give you more space. Rest assured, we will do whatever we can to make your dog comfortable. What we'd require: -Please make sure that your dog is fully vaccinated & has flea & tick protection. Chickens eat ticks, but I'll still do regular tick checks on your dog if it's tick season. -Contact number for emergencies, and name and contact information of your vet. -Your dog's normal food and possibly meds. (Our dog is not food possessive, but we'd feed them separately.) -Any special information regarding diet or personality that would make your dog feel content while you are away. Thank you for your consideration, Tanya & Hutch P.S. We intend to only board one dog at a time to ensure that your pet gets plenty of attention. If you happen to have two dogs, then we would make an exception and board both dogs because it would be cruel to separate them, right? I teach, but in the summer I have lots of time to pamper your fur baby! My husband works remotely, so the two of us are at home most of the time. It's a relatively quiet, calm household since we don't have children to send off to school, etc. Zuki and I spend a lot of the time outside. She lounges in the fenced-in yard while I garden. She's a pretty mellow dog although she's always excited to meet a new friend. She gets along with almost all dogs although I would want to walk our dogs together on neutral territory rather than "surprising" Zuki at home with a dog she doesn't know. My husband and I normally go for 1-2 walks a day anyway since he needs to "reset" after staring at a computer all day. The Winnequah Dream Park is conveniently located a block away, so we usually walk there. If you have a senior or slower dog, we could take it easy. If you have a dog that requires more exercise, we're happy to accommodate. I, too, could use more exercise. ;)
“Kaycee and Robert are the best! They took such good care of our little dog, who has never spent time away from us. They took him on walks, played with him, and kept him warm and safe. Our dog loved Tank (their dog) and the kids. He had a blast with this lovely family. They are kind and warm people who took excellent care of our dog. It is evident that they are expert dog owners who have fostered and trained many dogs. We will definitely book them next time we leave town. We highly recommend them!”
