“We absolutely, 100% recommend Edith S. as a pet sitter. She is thoughtful, kind and really loved our little dog while we were gone. Multiple pictures and little stories daily put us completely at ease while we gone. We feel very lucky and grateful to have found her.”
“Beatrice did a great job watching over Chopa :) She sent messages and pictures to provide updates during the boarding which was great! I would definitely reach out to her again when we need boarding service again”
“Zhuhan accepted our booking after our previous sitter canceled and was incredibly responsive from the start. She asked thoughtful questions to ensure our dog’s comfort and sent updates every morning and evening. We were very happy with her care and would highly recommend her.”
“Allison went above and beyond! She treated my dog like she was her own, and I felt completely at ease while I was away. I’m definitely pretty particular about who I trust with my dog, and I had absolutely no hesitations with Allison. She was so caring and loved sending all the pictures (which I obviously LOVED ). It was clear my pup was having the best time and was so well cared for. I would 100% have Allison watch her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Olivia is amazing!!! Our Nutka stay with Olivia for a week. This was Nutka’s first time away from us which may have been difficult at her 4 years of age. Olivia created adjustment meetings to ensure Nutka was happy and transitioned well. It worked! Nutka loved being with Olivia! Words to describe Olivia include: loving, thoughtful, intelligent, caring, and dependable. We are definitely returning and highly recommend Olivia to anyone!”
“Tanya and Hutch could not have done a better job making Molly feel at home with them. You’re getting professional grade photos of your dog every day as well:) Thank you both so much:) Pete and Anne Jones”
“Willow seemed to enjoy her stay with Kristin and Bruce! They sent sent us status updates and pictures every day so that we knew how she was doing. I'd definitely board with them again!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of our dog! We appreciated the picture, video, and text updates and that you included Teddy in your activities. You took great care of him! Will schedule again.”
“Jenny and her family did an excellent job watching Teddy and giving him the best experience during the holidays. It was even his birthday and they went above and beyond to throw a birthday party for him! We are so appreciative of how well Teddy was treated and all the photo updates were reassuring. Teddy is looking forward to his next stay! Highly recommend! 🤍”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up, I cared for rabbits, hamsters, mice, and a pet rat. Today I share my home with my 13 year old cat, Meeko, and my housemate’s friendly 12 year old dog. I recently said goodbye to my senior cat after 16 wonderful years together. During the last few years of his life, I administered medication multiple times a day and became experienced in caring for an aging pet with extra medical needs. That experience strengthened my patience, attention to detail, and understanding that every pet deserves individualized, compassionate care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own pets. I work full-time during the week 8:30-4:30, so I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks before and after work (6-7:30 AM, and after 4:30 pm M-F), as well as most weekends and holidays. I also offer limited weekend boarding for one dog at a time so I can provide each guest with plenty of individual attention and care. My goal is to be flexible while making sure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know pets thrive on routine, so I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to medications, favorite toys, and bedtime routines. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of affection. I understand that having a stranger in the house can be stressful for both pets and owners, so I’ll always treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. For boarding, I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play. I only accept one boarding dog at a time so I can provide a calm, personalized experience and ensure every pet receives plenty of attention. My home also includes my cat and my housemate’s dog, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable around cats and other dogs. This helps create a calm, safe environment for everyone.
“CJ and his partner were great with Elle! She warmed right up to him and seemed settled in fast. They were mindful with the introduction to their sweet golden retriever, who left my rather antisocial dog alone as she wished. Would absolutely book with them again!”
“Jesse was awesome with Ollie! He gave him lots of snuggles and walks which Ollie loved. Jesse also sent pictures and updates throughout the stay which I appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Finny had a blast! I got updates every day and I could see how happy and content he was while I was on vacation. I was very comfortable knowing he was safe and having a great time, and when he got home he was good and tired. Thank you so much! I would be super happy to bring him back and would highly recommend.”
“Christine was amazing with our dog Wally. We loved all of the pictures and updates we got from her. We look forward to taking our dog to her for future pet sitting needs. 100% would recommend her to a friend. She went above and beyond for us!”
“Athena seemed to have a wonderful time with Sarah, Wolfgang, and her family! We are so fortunate to have amazing Madison neighbors like Sarah to help us with Athena when we are out of town, and we'll certainly be booking again for future trips.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care and love Cynthia put in to caring for our Otis. Her daily communications and photos really reassured us on how well Otis was adjusting to staying with her. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting.”
“Mikaela and Theo are great puppy sitters. Mikaela was careful to get feeding and care information. Theo did his part in exercising my boys. The big yard provided lots of running space for playing chase. Next time I am 8n Madison I will definitely be calling Mikaela and Theo.”

“Shayanne was absolutely wonderful! She was super attentive, sweet, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She was also incredibly flexible and easy to communicate with, which made everything so stress-free. I felt completely comfortable knowing my cat was in good hands while I was away. I would absolutely book with Shayanne again and highly recommend her!”
About: I have two of my own, one is an absolute sweetheart and the other keeps me on my toes, so I know exactly how to work with cats who need a little extra patience and TLC. I'm looking forward to meeting your babies and caring for them like they're my own!
“Brittany was absolutely fantastic and such a life saver! I requested to book her somewhat last minute and she was able to come meet us that same day and worked us into her schedule easily. She is super kind and knowledgeable, and even helped me out when I accidentally left our windows open while we were out of town and the temperature dropped unexpectedly. I highly, highly recommend her and will be using her in the future!”
“Hannah was great! She agreed to do 2 meet and greets since we were moving and came in to feed our kitten (16 year old prissy cat) and got her to take all her meds, no problem! Thank you, Hannah!”
“Katherine is always amazing when she comes to see my kitties. She always updates me with great photos and is great at giving colby his medication. I’ve used her several times now and highly recommend!!”
“Sierra did an amazing job with my very nervous kitty! By the end of the week the cat was showing her belly, playing, and asking for pets! Really speaks to Sierra’s gift and patience. Great communicator, willing to go the extra mile to make my pet happy. 10/10 would recommend!”
“This is the first time I’ve used Rover but, based upon my experience with Alex, it won’t be my last! I was a little concerned about having a “stranger” in my home, but after having met and worked with Alex those fears have been laid to rest.”
“Emma was so good with my little kitty. He is skiddish and doesn’t always like new people but she was patient and consistent with him. I greatly appreciated her coming in and giving him his meds and food and any love that he allowed her to give while I was gone.”
About: Cats are unique individuals, and they deserve care that honors their distinct personalities. Growing up with cats and having them my entire life has given me a deep understanding of feline behavior—from recognizing subtle body language to knowing when they need gentle affection versus quiet space. I am experienced in all aspects of cat care, including providing calm companionship, maintaining spotlessly clean litter boxes, and administering medication. Your cat will receive attentive, personalized care tailored to their exact routine.
“Mary truly loves cats and kittens! It's been a pleasure to communicate with her over the texts. She's always been very responsive and professional, which gave us peace of mind during our travels. We'll definitely re-book and recommend her services to our friends!”
“Amazing as always, goes above and beyond for my kitties. Lots of people can drop in to reliably feed or medicate your pets, what sets Iva and Eduardo’s care apart is that they not only take care of your pet’s physical needs, but also spend fun quality time with them to meet their emotional/social needs while you’re away. It is such a relief knowing my pets are both exceedingly well cared for, and are also having a blast getting to play all of their favorite games !”
“Sophie cared for my two kitties over the weekend. She was attentive, very sweet with the cats, and called whenever she had any questions. One of my cats is very shy and doesn't typically come out of her hiding spot when strangers are here, but Sophie was able to make her feel comfortable and loved, and my cat eventually came out for some TLC! Thank you, Sophie!”
“Alana is the best pet sitter I’ve come across. She’s very detailed in her visit reports and my shy cats warmed to her very quickly. Alana was also very considerate of my home and went above and beyond, cleaning a cat throw up and bringing in a package. It makes me feel so great knowing I can trust my animal care to an amazing person.”
About: I've cared for cats for over three years and have hosted more than 10 for boarding and drop-in visits. Cats are what I know best, and most of what I've learned comes down to one thing: not rushing them. What I do differently is give every boarding guest their own private room to start. New places are genuinely stressful for cats, so your cat arrives to a quiet space with food, water, litter, hiding spots, and no pressure to interact with anyone. I visit in short, calm sessions so they get used to me on their own terms. Most cats relax within 3–7 days, but I go at each cat's pace rather than a schedule. I live in a large single-family home with two resident cats (both 2+) and a friendly 2-year-old dog. All three are calm and used to guests. If you'd like your cat to have company, I can introduce them gradually once your cat is settled — several guests have ended up genuinely comfortable around my pets by the end of their stay. If you'd rather your cat keep their own space the entire time, that's just as welcome. I'm patient with shy and slow-to-warm cats, and I pay close attention to the things that signal a problem early — appetite, litter box habits, hiding more than usual. You'll get photos and videos throughout the stay, and I'll tell you right away if anything seems off rather than waiting until you're home. Tell me your cat's routine and I'll follow it.
“Olivia was amazing! She took great care of my cat and was always on top of things. I really appreciated her attention to detail and her patience! My cat loved her immediately! I hope to book her again!”

“Manuela was great with our dog and I know our dog loved spending time with her! I was nervous to leave our dog with a new person at first, but Manuela met us beforehand and made sure we were comfortable. I would definitely recommend Manuela to anyone looking for care for their pet! She treats pets as if they were her own!”
“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.”

About: I have over two years of experience with dog walking and dog sitting, along with professional experience working at a dog grooming facility and dog hotel. I was responsible for caring for dogs staying at the hotel, making sure they were safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay. I’m also a dog owner myself! I have three dogs: Liah, a Shih Tzu, and Lilo and Lady, two Australian Labradoodles. Having three dogs with different personalities has given me plenty of experience with different needs, energy levels, and routines. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I make sure every dog gets the time and attention they need. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with each owner’s schedule and their dog’s normal routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my priority. From my experience working at a dog hotel, I understand the importance of following each dog’s routine, feeding instructions, and individual needs. In a client’s home, I’ll respect their space and follow all instructions carefully while making sure their dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Kind and professional, very easy to work with and quick to respond. I needed somewhere for my girl to go where she could be around other dogs while I was swamped for the day, within 1 hour I had a daycare appointment set up with Brad. He sent me pictures of her smiling and cuddling while she was there. Will definitely be going back.”
“Ben was phenomenal - helped us out in a pinch to provide fun and stimulating daycare for our puppy. Super professional, great at providing the right amount of stimulation/rest/play for our pup, and very communicative. 10/10 will definitely be bringing our boy to Ben again!!!”
“Last minute, but with wonderful communication and top care. I got lots of photos and updates on my old girl. She has separation anxiety so probably not the easiest. But Taylor and her husband are lovely people and took good care of her for the evening! Many thanks❤️”
“Kristin and Bruce provided exceptional daycare services. My senior dog initially had anxiety being in a different home. Kristen and Bruce were very attentive and made her feel comfortable.”
“Dylan was an amazing company for my baby. She's usually super shy but he was patient and she warmed up to him pretty quickly! He also sent me plenty of updates with pics which I really appreciated! His puppy is also such a sweet boy, he's really friendly and excited but he was still gentle with Bagheera. I could tell she had an amazing time and they made her feel at home. Thanks so much, Dylan!”
About: If I can help your fur baby feel less anxious and taken care of, I want to help you do that. I have grown up with pets all of my life and currently have a yorkie pup of my own. I am looking to expand my network to help fur babies get the care they need. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I can accommodate to your and your fur babies needs. Weekends are open too upon request. I have a small yorkie pup. She’s friendly but shy at first. She can be great company for your little one. I am happy to check on your pup at your house too. Whatever creates the most comfortable environment for your baby
“Thank you for being available to watch Georgia! I You were amazing with communication on how she was doing and also so kind in getting to know and love our dog. Looking forward to rebooking with you soon!”
“Panda had so much fun with Max! 🐼❤️ Panda usually doesn’t eat his food when he’s with a new sitter or if he feels uncomfortable, but this time he finished his whole meal! I can tell that he felt very comfortable and had such a great time at Luis’s. He was also so tired from all the fun that he slept through the entire night! 🥰🐾”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have always had one. I know the dedication and time it takes to give dogs the care and attention they need. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets’ care while they were on trips and I have always found it enjoyable and rewarding. I am currently in grad school and so have flexibility for walks and drop ins! If your pup is comfortable with other dogs, I am happy to welcome them here. We have an extra bed and plenty of toys to share! I have evenings and weekends free and work from home during the week, so I have the availability to let pups out for potty and a play break! I have a pup of my own so your dog will always have company. If necessary, I have a crate that your dog can use to keep them safe. I also have plenty of toys to share :)
About: I have always had a special bond with animals, and I am eager to give care and attention to your non-human family, and to accommodate any custom needs that you have! As a small business owner, I have freedom and flexibility to work when I’m needed, so whether you need drop in visits or walks, or someone to keep your babies cuddled and cozy during storms and at bedtime.. I’m here for you! Pet care gives me a chance to see new places and gives me a reason to be active. I love spending time with animals and going for walks, so I can't think of a better way to spend my time! I follow whatever needs each individual family has, since every animal needs different things, just like people! I can do medication administration, feeding, etc. please note, I do not offer bathing or grooming services.
“Very quick response to our sudden need for a pet sitter. Our Rosie was comfortable at her home and Kristina gave us a full report at the time of pick-up. She will be on our call list next time we need a sitter in the area!”

“Nate just started walking my dogs for me while at work. My dogs like him and seem very happy from the pictures. He is very flexible for last minute walks. I really appreciate him taking good care of my girls while I’m away.”
“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!”
About: I worked for a professional pet care service for almost a year and learned a lot about animals through that time! Overall I am an animal lover and can’t wait to meet your cute pets!! I’m currently a senior in college who has free time and thought I could use it to my advantage and meet some cute pets! I really want to get my own dog or cat when I graduate college and realized I could get some more experience:) I had a dog my whole life and will care for your pets as if they were my own. I do live in a college house with three roommates but am still open to pet sitting in my home if you are.
About: I've spent over the last 8 years pet-sitting, dog-walking, working with horses and farm animals, and worked the last 3 years at a small animal veterinary hospital. I love cats and dogs so much and am a very active individual, so I put a lot of time and effort into walking and/or playing with the pets. My experience in the veterinary field enables me to administer a range of medicine as needed, as well as be observant of any abnormal behavior. I'm currently an undergraduate student studying veterinary medicine at UW-Madison, where I live downtown. Therefore, my class schedule allows me to make drop-in visits or schedule walks around ideal weather conditions for the pet. Though my ability may vary at some points in the year, I overall have a very flexible schedule. I make sure to be very aware of where the pet feels comfortable in its home during my drop-in visits to not disturb their routine, especially with a new person around.
About: Hi! I’m a graduate student who loves animals and understands how important it is to find someone you trust to care for them. I have experience caring for dogs with different temperaments, including dogs with anxiety and dogs who need medication or extra patience. I’m very responsible, detail oriented, and I take pet care seriously - I know I’m caring for a member of your family. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding schedules, crate routines, and any specific instructions you have. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for drop in visits, walks, and house sitting. I’m reliable and will always communicate clearly about timing and availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort comes first. I follow routines, use secure leashes, provide updates, and create a calm, safe, consistent environment for your pet
“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.”
About: I grew up with a husky for over ten years and have dog sat for multiple family members over the years! I also have cat sit for family friends several times and lived with my roommates cat for almost two years. I also now have two cats of my own who I adore! My typical working hours for my regular job are M-W and Friday done before 3pm. I am free to walk and sit anytime after 11am on Thursdays as well. If you let me know two weeks in advance, I'm typically available for weekends. My schedule is flexible, so caring for you pet will always be a priority. I always come with my own food, treats for the dogs and a great attitude.
About: Animals have been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember—from growing up around my family’s German Shepherd breeding and training work, to years of rescuing and fostering both dogs and cats. I can provide continuous supervision, regular potty and play breaks, and plenty of outdoor exercise tailored to each dog's energy level and temperament. My home currently includes one calm, dog-friendly resident cat, making for a peaceful, low-stress environment where guest dogs receive focused care and affection. I have worked with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies and kittens. I am experienced with administering medications and experienced with disabled dogs. I work remotely and am home full-time with a flexible work schedule. I can provide 24/7 care for your dog or cat. I am also available for walks throughout the day and week. While boarding in my home, I am able to be available for feeding or potty breaks as needed. I am able to watch the dog or cat to see what they need when. If I am providing drop in visits or walks, my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and evenings.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 5 years old. I grew up in the country in Texas and at one point we had around 20 cats and 9 dogs. We took care of the strays that made their way onto our property, and sometimes adopted from shelters and random people. I was taught love and compassion for animals since I was a young child. I continue to embrace the kindness I have in my heart for animals everyday. I’m usually available most of the time, as I don’t have any full time work to tend to. I also do not celebrate holidays which can benefit pet owners very much because they can count on me being available as long as I have not already booked with someone else. I would be wonderful to your pup insuring they get enough potty breaks, walks if you would like, maybe the dog park upon your approval, and even car rides if you’d like! I offer complimentary treats.. I keep some in my home. And of course I would get them approved by my client first. For cats in my clients home, I would do the same things. I would also insure the cat box is clean, and lots of play time if that’s what the kitty likes :-)
About: I have experience from dogs, cats, chickens, to reptiles since I was a kid. Definitely know how to be friendly to animals, read body language, and adapt. I routinely pet-sit my elderly neighbor’s tabby, my friend’s tortoiseshell cat and cocker spaniel, my boyfriend’s black lab, and my cousin’s scottish folds. I have been continuously contacted to play, walk, feed, and poop-scoop their pets and enjoy each others company. I am a recent graduate taking a gap year so my schedule is flexible. Plenty of time to play and take care of your pets. I follow and respect all given instructions. I also make it a point to reach out whenever there are concerns or to send some updates/pictures. I genuinely care about the well-being of your pets and respecting your time.
“Was wonderful!! Layla was so sweet and agreed to last minute give my dog care as I was injured and was not able to take my pup for a walk and play. Trustworthy. Followed instruction. Would definitely request their care again and recommend her to others!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old and have always loved being around animals. I grew up with a dog, have watched dogs in my neighborhood, and cared for friends’ pets as well. I’m experienced with walking, feeding, playing, and just hanging out with dogs to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and treating them like my own. It’s summer, which means warmer weather and more outdoor time for dogs! I’m currently a student at UW–Madison and have a pretty flexible schedule during the summer. I’m always looking for an excuse to get outside, enjoy some fresh air, and spend time with pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your dog company, I’d love to help out. Please feel free to reach out — I’d love to connect! I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level, offering plenty of affection, patience, and consistency. I maintain open communication with pet parents sharing regular updates, photos, and notes to keep them reassured.
“Kali was great! She came ready and prepared. You can tell that she has been around dogs and is a natural. Mario fell in love with her instantly. I would hire Kali again in a heart beat!”
About: Hi, I'm Matt! I've been caring for cats and dogs since I was a kid. Growing up, I was the go-to kid in my neighborhood to watch after pets. I've personally raised and trained four dogs now (all rescues!) and love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am an avid runner, biker, and nature enjoyer. I'd love the opportunity to meet more furry friends and would be honored to help you with yours. I am also set up for bathing and cleaning dogs! I am an early riser and start my day off taking care of my puppy. I live downtown and have immediate access to the commuter bike trails and can get wherever I need to be whenever I need to be there. Being that I love getting outdoors and moving around, I have my days set to same and am a moment's notice from supporting you! I firmly believe that our homes are sacred. My promise to you is that you will never know I was there. In my own home, I tidy up my dog's playthings and ensure that she always has access to food and water. I will dispose of your pet's waste in a wag bag and turn it in at a community bin to prevent your home from stinking. I understand that all dogs are different and can certainly accommodate any quirks.
About: Growing up with two dogs, and always playing with friends' and neighbors' pets, I have always loved spending time with animals! I’ve been dog and cat-sitting for the past 5+ years. I will provide as much exercise as needed, play with, feed, and bathe pets. I would love to continue meeting and taking care of new pets through Rover! I am currently a student at UW-Madison but I will work around this schedule in order to have plenty of time during the day to look after your pets! I am also available on weekends and my schedule is pretty flexible depending on your needs, and I will always make sure that your pet is my number 1 priority during the time they are in my care! I will adjust how I care for your pets based on their needs and preferences! I love to snuggle with pets, but I know some want to play, which I will also attend to. No matter what your pet is like, I will do my best to treat them in a way that will make them happy and feel loved.

He was only slightly disappointed to be leaving them to come back home with us 😋. I'd definitely book with them again! Easy to communicate with and flexible with scheduling.”
“Mikaela and Theo are great puppy sitters. Mikaela was careful to get feeding and care information. Theo did his part in exercising my boys. The big yard provided lots of running space for playing chase. Next time I am 8n Madison I will definitely be calling Mikaela and Theo.”

Zelda was very comfortable there. Great communication, sweet people, and easy folks to talk to. Will definitely book again!”
“Ryan and his family were super sweet and updated us regularly. Hank had a great time and was taken great care of. I plan to bring him back if they are available next time I am in need of a sitter in the area!”
“Taylor is a fantastic sitter!! Super friendly, she sent daily pictures and updates of our sweet Maggie. It was truly a home away from home from her. Next time we're out of town, Taylor will be the first to come to mind!”
“Maria was amazing! We felt so confident in leaving our bot with her. We got great update pics and fast communication. My husband and I had many difficulties with our travel arrangements and Maria was very flexible and understanding.”
About: I absolutely adore animals. I feel so completely honored when a client trusts me to take care of their precious furkids! I have been doing this a long time, about 12 years! I’ve had animals all my life (gerbils, birds, fish, a newt, cats, dogs). I’ve cared for sheep, horses, donkeys, and all the traditional pets. What are my strengths? Why should you choose me? Well, I have anxiety which has proven to be a huge asset with this job haha. I triple check medicine doses, I am a fanatic about fresh water and making sure an animal’s needs are met and they’re as happy as I can possibly make them. I relate strongly to anxious pets and have a lot of patience for them; I know a few tricks to get them to be more comfortable. I work with reactive dogs and understand it’s fear and take all the precautions needed to keep everyone safe. I’m also learning positive-reinforcement dog training? Need help? I’ll do what I can but I am not a certified trainer yet but know a few things and am always trying to learn more! When you leave on vacation I so totally understand how scary it can be to leave behind your little critters with a stranger. I try hard to make it a vacation for them as well. For dogs that means I’ll ask what their favorite activities and treats are. If dog park trips are allowed, we will hit them up! Do they like swimming? Then it’s off to Stoughton for a dip in the water! I also check the water quality. Again, anxiety is an asset cause it keeps your pets safe! How about your cats? What are they into? What toys do they like most? I like to make toys to put on wands to keep it fresh and interesting. Cats are curious and love to explore so I will likely ask if I can build forts for them. I love doing that and I have rarely met a cat who wasn’t interested in checking out something new! Again, it’s about making sure the pets are having a special and fun time while you’re having a great time, too. I love taking pics and send a lot and update you on how things are going. I would love that as a pet owner and would hate for you to have to wonder if they’re ok. I’d rather you know they are. That said, I will also let you know if something doesn’t seem quite right. As much as I hate to worry a client, safety first. I monitor anything a bit strange and have no qualms about taking a pet to the vet to be safe. Ideally we will discuss that first unless it’s an emergency then we just gotta get there. That’s rare but needs to be discussed firstly so the name of the vet you use will help me a lot. What else? I’m passionate about what I do. I find things to love with all the animals I care for and especially love how my clients love their pets. Like to leave a ton of notes? Cool! I want to do what you prefer. Anytime we can stick to their routine means less stress for the animals and I’m all for that. I’ve given a lot of meds over the years, pills, insulin, feeding tubes, subcutaneous fluids…. I’m not afraid of any of that. I even know what to do if your pet is having a seizure but please provide gloves for that medication haha. Feel free to ask me anything. This is my full-time job. I’m devoted to working around your timeframe to keep visits and stays as consistent as possible. I like to be there when you expect me to be. At my house it’s really just a resting area as it’s small. I take on very few dogs as a result because I have 2 cats. Our fun at my place revolves around dog park trips, pet store trips, and group walks. Your dog would be my sidekick! In a client’s home it varies since it’s about what you want. The first question I’ll ask you is what is their daily routine like? When do they wake up, when so they eat, do they have a set walk route or can it be varied; which dogs do we need to avoid, if any. Same for cats, how is their day spent? How do you pet them? How do you play with them? How do you talk to them? I want to know what they like and you’re the expert here. That said, I do like to introduce fun, new toys and experiences if allowed to make it extra special.
