“Duane and Lauren were wonderful to work with and took great care of our two dogs!!! Their communication was terrific and they were very flexible. We would love to have our dogs stay with them again!!”
“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!”
“Kristin and Bruce were fantastic. From the moment we stepped into their home they were welcoming of us and our dog, and it was obvious we made the right choice. They were loving and caring and we are certain that carried on throughout our dogs stay with them. Pictures and updates were sent and they kept to her normal routine, even when sleeping. Our dog was excited to see us again...but was torn and demanding good byes from Kristen, Bruce, and the kids (hoping to go back). Definitely a wonderful experience for us and your dog!”
“Edith sent many photos and kept me informed from the moment Ollie was dropped off until I picked him up. He was well taken care of and I would definitely ask her to watch him again.”
“My little Westie, Jazzy Girl, loves going to Tony's to play with her friends. Tony's great with her and very flexible about scheduling. She typically spends a few days a week in daycare, and has boarded with him and his sweet Yoshi a number times. I can count on him to keep her safe and happy.”
“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! 🤍”
“Jessica was wonderful and super friendly. My dog Bell stayed for a few days and we got the cutest picture updates. Her dogs are so well behaved and Bell was so happy she had friends to vacation with. She came home and slept the rest of the night! Would book again and will recommend her to others!”
“Our 2 dogs stayed at Sarah's for about a week earlier this month. The stay was great! We got daily updates, including photos and videos. They have a fantastic large fenced in yard where they could safety run and play. They had lots of playtime, but also lots of snuggles and love. They were both clearly enjoying their own vacation at Sarah's while we were gone on ours. It was so refreshing to know they were so well cared for while we were away- we have already rebooked them for our next trip!”
“Ben and Kassy were great. My dog Loki was very nervous and anxious and went above and beyond to help acclimate him to their place and their dogs. They also send me daily pictures and videos. By day 2, he was having a blast! Definitely will be using them again for future trips.”
“Great communication for booking, through their stay, and when we needed to adjust our pick up time. We received pictures of our ladies several times, which brightened our day and helped us feel at ease when we were away. They were very attentive to the different food and medication needs our ladies have. We will definitely use them again for future boarding.”
“Brandon and Katy are lovely! They were very helpful moving my dog's crate and getting him settled. Sammy had a great time playing and cuddling.”
“Another fantastic stay with Sarah! Truly such a great experience. I am always nervous leaving Remy, given his special needs, but it is such a relief to know that Sarah is so willing to take him in and keep him safe for me while I am away. Thank you kindly for taking him in for me!”
“Erik and family took great care of Copper. They sent pictures and updates and cared for him like he was a member of the family. I’ll definitely be rebooking with them the next time I need someone to watch Copper.”
“Stephanie was great! She was easy to work with, took fantastic care of our pup. Our girl wasn't sure she wanted to leave. She sent lots of pictures and provided a fun and active environment. Would highly recommend!”
“Our dog simba had a great stay with Amanda and her family. We loved getting updates and pictures of how he’s doing. Definitely will be using her again next time we’re away. Thank you!”
“Excellent! I really appreciated all the updates and photos from Stefanie. Great communication and flexible with drop off and pick up times. Will definitely use again in future.”
“It was an absolute delight to work with Annie! She provided exceptional care for Cinnamon and kept me updated with regular pictures and messages. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again anytime.”
“This was Baylee's first boarding experience since I adopted her and she seems very happy and healthy. She loves walks and Erika provided multiple daily walks. Baylee's medication and feed requirements were met. I couldn't expect more than a happy dog!”

“Darby did a fantastic job of watching my girls. She did a great job at following the directions I went over in the meet and greet, provided good updates about her visits, and my cats enjoyed her company (including the nervous one after she warmed up to Darby) during her time watching my cats.”
“We continue to rely on Claire to provide care for our needy cat family when we're away. We are always grateful to be worry-free when it comes to knowing our loved ones are well looked after. After the necessities are performed, medicate, feed, water, and scoop boxes, she still makes time for play and pics!”
“We’ve had Jen take care of our two elderly kitties many times now. Whenever she is looking after them, I know they will be taken care of as if we were home! Jen updates me with lots of details and great pictures and goes above and beyond both with the cats’ care and keeping our home tidy! I appreciate Jen so much!”
“Our cats took to Brenna right away, and they really seemed to enjoy spending time with her. Brenna helped with feeding a supplement to our cat with IBS and let us know when one of our cats had emesis, as requested. She was available over the holidays, which allowed us to visit with family. Brenna's attitude was very positive throughout, and we could tell from the report card that she really brought out the best in our cats. We recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive cat sitter.”
“Emma did a great job taking care of our two kitties for almost two weeks! She gave them lots of love and sent us daily pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Heather was so great looking after our fur babies! We were gone for a week on a road trip, and the regular updates, including videos of our kitties playing helped me know they were all happy and healthy, and relieved any anxiety I had about being gone for so long. It was really great. Heather was also very on top of the litter boxes and trash, and very thoughtful and considerate. I would absolutely contact her again next time we are out of town.”
“Shatoria took such great care of our three gals while we were away, providing lots of photos from each visit and making sure they were all given plenty of attention. You know your pets will be in good hands if you book with her. :)”
“Emily came in on short notice and was so helpful, friendly and kind to our kitties. She played and petted and sent lots of photos. I often feel bad leaving my pets home alone for a few days, but a meet and greet with Emily put me at ease. I will definitely rebook with her.”
“I can't say enough good things about our experience with Hailey! She went above and beyond for us and our cats while we were away for 2 weeks. Her communication was top notch, she sent lots of photos each day, and was incredibly patient with our cats who need to be separated right now. If you are looking for a reliable and kind cat-sitter, look no further!”
“Alyssa took great care of Alice! She communicated clearly and thoughtfully, and the place looked great when I came back. It seems that they took a shine to each other, which is awesome. I would definitely hire Alyssa again.”
“We literally could not be happier with the care we got from Vanessa. This was our first extended time away since adopting Finn where a friend or relative (usually his grandma) was not available to cat-sit so we were pretty nervous how all of this would work. Finn is extremely nervous with new people and even with ones he’s met a few times. But Finn absolutely loved Vanessa as her photos and videos easily showed. Within her first visit, she had photos of him rolling over to show his belly - the ultimate sign that he was so comfortable with her. We really appreciated Vanessa’s communication with us during the entire process. There is a 100% chance we will hire her again. Anyone who’s nervous about leaving their separation-anxiety cat alone for a few days should really be confident Vanessa is going to go a long way in making you comfortable.”
“Taylor was wonderful with my cats, Casper and Salem! She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Both kitties looked happy and comfortable, and I could tell they were well cared for and loved. I came home to two relaxed and content cats, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’ll definitely book with Taylor again and highly recommend her!”
“Blanca was amazing - super reliable and responsive! Our cat is usually grumpy, but Blanca is a natural and the cat LOVED her. Great updates and photos with each visit. Will definitely book again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Ayla! They took such great care of our three cats while we were away and truly went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. Communication was excellent throughout every visit and I felt comfortable reaching out and asking questions in between. Ayla was responsive and updated us immediately after each visit with updates and pictures, giving us complete peace of mind. She was able to take care of our cats while one of them was in heat and helped us monitor her from afar. it was clear Ayla genuinely cared about our cats and treated them with kindness. We could not have asked for a better sitter and will be reaching out if and when we might need someone again in the future. I highly recommend Ayla to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“I had a great experience with Carley! She relieved so much of my stress knowing my cat needed medication and is also a professional-level hider. 😂 She did amazing check-ins, kept me updated, and I truly didn’t have a single worry during my trip. Thank you so much, Carley! The only thing to note was that one evening her schedule changed and she needed to come earlier than the timing we originally discussed. It wasn’t a big issue, but it was a little different than expected. Overall, she took wonderful care of my cat, and I really appreciated her help!”

“Tony watched my dogs for a couple days in a row and he was great! He is very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the day. Will definitely request services through him again in the future.”
“Ben and Kassy were awesome! My dog DouDou was only 8 months old and very nervous and shy and we booked a daycare first to let him get along with them and make new friends. They try their best to help familiarize him with their place, and their dogs. I can tell they love dogs a lot!”
“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!”
“Eric and Rachel did a fantastic job taking care of my senior dog. They sent tons of updates and photos which is always great. They quickly responded to messages and offered to help in any way possible. In addition they were very flexible and accommodating with our schedule. We couldn't have asked for a better sitters!”
“Allison was great! She was very responsive and sent lots of photos and updates. I felt very comfortable knowing Hodu was in good hands. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Daryl was very pleasant, easy to coordinate with and was flexible with our schedule. She kept us informed throughout the day. Our dog can be challenging but Daryl's experience gave us confidence in having her care for Suki. We were visiting from out of town but would definitely contact Daryl again when in Madison!”
“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.”
About: Hi! My name is Rona. I grew up on a farm in the Philippines. As a child, my parents always had dogs and cats at home. I’ve experienced taking care of many different types of animals. It was quite challenging but it’s fun! When I came here, we adopted Maggie and Lyka when they were still puppies. Maggie is a 7 years old Pug and Lyka is a 3 years old Boston Terrier. I love them so much! They are both lovable and friendly. Our neighbors and friends have relied on me to groom, walk, feed and bathe their dogs while they were away. My house sits in a shady private area and is surrounded by parks and trails so there will be a lot of running around and play time when your dog is cared for by me. I can do oral medication administration, I have had a senior dog experience and can provide daily exercise for your pups. My schedule is flexible so I can usually take on new dogs at a moment’s notice. I will update you regularly with pictures and videos to give you peace of mind during your time apart. I am working from home so most of my time will be caring for your fur baby. Daycare drop-off no earlier than 6:00 am and pick-up hours anytime in the afternoon. We have a large fenced backyard and our two dogs, Maggie (Pug) and Lyka (Boston Terrier) are very good with all dogs. They love to play and will keep your fur baby company during their stay. The dogs are in and out all day using 9 steps. We have security cameras and limited access to our property.
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 :)
“Fast response, super friendly. Taylor was able to take our pup at short notice so we could have a family outing and not worry about the dog. He played all day and had a great time.”
“Emily made us feel extremely safe leaving our pup, Tyke, with her! She had a basket full of toys ready to show him & her home felt so cozy & welcoming. I could tell our pup felt safe with her right away & wasn’t stressed during drop off or pick up Thank you, Emily!”
“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!”
“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.”
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.
About: I try to provide training for your dog using simple commands and treats. I have a corgy. He likes eating poop, so I am firm with him but lovely. I believe I take my time to rub his belly or play with my dog before feeding him or going for a walk. I always keep treats and bags. I currently have a job from home, with a flexible schedule. I always go outside for walk 10 to 20 minutes o play with tennis ball. I used to go outside 2 or 3 times a day. In the morning the firts walk is longer. I have many different toys and a medium-sized blanket if he needs to rest. They can also go on my couch. If he needs more privacy, I have a big cage with blankets and pillows. I live in an apartment with 2 beds to a bath.

“Elizabeth is a very professional and caring dog walker. My dog looked forward to her visits. She follow directions perfectly and asked pertinent questions. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals. Spending time with pets is truly one of my favorite things, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality, whether that means playing with an energetic dog, giving extra attention to a cuddly cat, or providing gentle companionship to a senior pet. I believe pets thrive when they feel loved, comfortable, and understood, so I focus on building trust and creating a positive experience for them while you're away. Being around animals brings me so much joy, and I take pride in making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. You can count on me to provide plenty of affection, attention, and personalized care, along with regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands. I am currently a nursing student at UW Madison and have time throughout both the week and weekend to spend time with your pet! Typically earlier or later in the day is best for me but I am able to be flexible. I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and at ease — feeding them on schedule, going on walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from their owner. I spend a lot of time giving attention and affection, whether that’s active play for energetic pets or calm companionship for seniors or more relaxed animals. I always try to make them feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also send updates so you know how they’re doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“Jacob is amazing and a fast walker! He uses the whole booked time to walk your dog and takes the best pictures too! Support him in his senior year here. You and your dog won’t regret it!”
About: I have experience working at a dog daycare, (Dana’s Dog Spa and Daycare in Hutchinson, MN) where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities in a fast-paced environment. My responsibilities included supervising playgroups, feeding, cleaning, and making sure each dog was safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve also spent many years caring for the pets of friends and family, providing reliable cat and dog sitting while they were away and regularly walking their dogs. I’ve always looked forward to spending time with them, and I genuinely enjoy caring for animals! I am available mornings (7am - 10:30 am) and evenings (4pm - 10 pm) on M, T, TH, and F. I am ONLY available Wednesdays AFTER 5 PM. And I am available most weekends as I’m a college student, but I do not have a car on campus so I will be walking or taking the bus! I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I care for each and every pet with the same love and attention I’d give my own. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, prioritize safety on every walk and visit, and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind. I’m always happy to answer any questions and help you feel confident that your pet is in caring, reliable hands!
