It gave us great peace of mind to know that she was there.”
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.
“Keezieng's assistance was a lifesaver this holiday season. His politeness and kindness when meeting us and our cat Olivia was reassuring and he did a great job of updating us during his visits while we were away. We’re so grateful for the excellent care provided!”
“Chelsea was kind enough to visit our cat on short notice. She did a great job visiting with Blue, sent us lots of photos, detailed updates, and our cat loved her!! We definitely recommend her :)”
“Stephanie checked on our dogs while we were away for a long day. She left a great recap of their time together and shared a few pics. Communicative and exactly what we needed when we were away the whole day!”
“My second time booking with Carley. She is an amazing pet sitter. Takes care of my boykitty like her own and is mindful of my place as well. Very professional and I highly recommend her when she is available. I dont need to worry to much if am away because she is reassuring me with amazing photos. I will book her again.”
“Sylvia was consistent and prompt with her visits and updates of our two cats. She was attentive and accommodating to our needs for a date change, plant watering, and trash pickup. We’ll certainly rebook her.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Reston Heights
“Our 3 dogs love going to Kara’s. They run in the door and barely look back at us. We know they’re having a great time by the photos Kara sends us during their stay. She takes wonderful care of them.”
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.
“Shelly was so great with my Vinnie. It was his first time staying with Shelly and he clearly had a blast. He came home happy but exhausted - perfect win. I'm so grateful Shelly was willing and able to care for Vinnie on pretty short notice - we will definitely be back :)”
“Zion had an amazing time with Tony! He took excellent care of our pup. After spending the day with Tony, our dog went right to nap after getting ample exercise and care. We will definitely use his services again and would recommend him to others. Thanks so much!!!”

“Muttley had a great time over the weekend with Julie. He came home a very tired and happy boy. I got a ton of pictures and updates, so I never had to worry about how he was doing while I was away.”
“Hi Elizabeth, I just wanted to say thank you for taking such great care of Fox! I really appreciated the updates while I was away. It’s clear you gave her lots of attention and care, and I could tell she was happy and comfortable with you. I’d absolutely trust you again and would happily recommend you to others. Thanks again!”
“We are very grateful to Tracy. She took care of our adolescent dog with his first experience with daycare. We had a sudden family emergency that required someone to look after our pub. She was open and communicative which was very helpful. Would recommend to others.”
“Emily took great care of our pup, Toby! He is 10 weeks old and she was capable of managing the extra needs of a young puppy. Emily was very communicative and responsive to messages. We would send our pup to be cared for by her again!”
“I just can't say enough about how amazing Sarah and Zach are and how much it means to us to have our active social 1 1/2 year old lab in their care. They understand him, take care of him as one of their own and make it so easy to coordinate and communicate.”
About: I genuine care and give attention to every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with puppies who are still learning routines, including basic training and potty schedules, and I’m also gentle and mindful with senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or extra comfort. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I currently work only 2 days out of the week, but my schedule is very flexible, and can switch days if need be! Will accommodate I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable and follow the routine they’re used to. In a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention so pets feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and make sure pets stay on their normal schedule. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean environment with supervised play, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of affection. I always pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and any special instructions from the owner to make sure they feel happy and cared for.
“We are not from Madison, but just in town for one evening. Meghan’s communication was excellent from the beginning to the end. We talked about our situation and what we needed for care later in the evening. Meghan provided fantastic care for Moose - playing lots of fetch and helping him with his nervous separation. She took and shared lots of photos and brought him on 3 walks. Her profile was thoughtful and drew us in - we knew she would be the perfect fit. We are thankful for her hospitality and letting us park our car in front of her house while we were in town for a football game. If we are in the Madison area again, we will hire Meghan to hang out with Moose. Thank you! ??”
“Ella was really sweet for helping me find a sitter last minute. Her communication before, during, and after was impeccable! It made me feel assured that Remy was in good hands while in her care. I highly recommend!”
“Briana is such a kind and empathetic individual! Although my doggy day care was last minute, I felt reassured that Semi was in good hands. Truly someone you can trust with your pups!”
“Carnegie had the best day with Robert and made a new friend! Carnegie just had surgery and Robert was so accommodating for her! She cannot wait to visit again!”

“Tucker would literally try to jump out the kitchen window to get to her for his walk. He loved it so much. Carley was so nice and sweet with Tucker. If we weren't moving across the country I would still want her to walk him”
“Ernst is super friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. We have 70 lbs adolescent pup who has a lot of energy to give. Ernst is great at keeping our pup in line. I already notice an improvement in our pet’s loose leash walking!”
“Lindsay is amazing!! She was able to come over and take my golden retriever for a walk and to the dog park. She also has a dog who was able to join in on the fun, which is always great for my dog who loves to play! She’s super kind and easy to work with. I definitely recommend her, and will be booking her again in the future!”

About: I have 2 large rescues that have been a part of my family for the last 9 years. When I lived in apartments, I helped watch other neighbors' dogs and always enjoyed getting to know them and learn about their routines, hobbies, and quirks. While my family never had a dog growing up, I love being around them now and could never go back to a life without them! Since I work part time at a local farm, and am only just getting my own farm up and running, I have a relatively flexible schedule from week to week, especially during the winter, early spring, and late fall. I am thorough when it comes to taking care of my dogs' health and safety, as well as the health and safety of all pets that are in my care. I am always vigilant about traffic while walking dogs near any roads, and am always careful of walking them near other animals. When in another's home I am respectful of boundaries and rules and always clean up after myself or any messes that a pet may make.
About: As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how much happiness our furry friends bring to our lives. My first rescue pup was a golden retriever mix named Luna, the sweetest dog who stole hearts everywhere she went. I currently have a Rottweiler who loves romping in the yard and excels at snuggling. It would be my pleasure to care for your dog while you are away. Long walks, playtime, and endless snuggles are services I can provide. I am comfortable with large breeds. My work schedule is quite flexible, so I have availability most days. I would be happy to meet you and your dog prior to bookings. I am passionate about animal rescue, and have experience volunteering at Dane County Humane Society. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat each one with patience, attention, and genuine care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m home often and have the availability to stick to your pet’s routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or just keeping them company. I enjoy having the time to provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet feels comfortable and well looked after. Your pet’s safety and comfort would always be my top priority during overnight or daycare stays. I recently moved here with my cat and currently live with my sister, who has one friendly dog and two cats. The dog gets along well with other dogs, and the cats are generally comfortable around dogs as well. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, so if needed, the cats can easily be kept in a separate room to provide a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, supervised, and cared for while staying in my home.
“Logan is dependable, trustworthy, and knowledgeable about dogs! My dogs are pretty crazy and Logan handles both of them wonderfully…I can notice they listen to me better since Logan has been caring for them. His wife is just as awesome and sometimes covers or comes with.”
About: I have done petsitting (cats and dogs) for over 15 years. Usually for animals where I personally know the owners and have spent time with the animal to create a bond/relationship. I want to full disclose with new perspective pets parents: I have a full time, in-office job with the standard business hours, Monday through Friday. If that's not what you are looking for in a house sitter, I understand. If I had a pet of my own, I would ensure all their needs are met. As a petsitter, I would to ensure their animal's life doesn't change or I could make it better in some small way especially since their parent(s) is gone I stay at the animal's home to care for them so their life isn't different than what it usually is for them. Changing their environment can be quite shocking and stressful to them. I try not change their lifestyle too much while the parent is gone

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 adult dog as long as they go on a short walk together first. She might be uncertain about puppies. 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. ;)
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. My family growing up never had less than 3 pets at a time so I've grown up loving and rescuing animals including taking care of outdoor feral cats,stray dogs, etc. I currently have two cats of my own and hope to have more in the future at the very least by fostering :) Besides when working my 9/5 or rover I spend most of my free time with my cats. I also keep a cat crate and food in my car in case I ever see any stray cats and I have a humane trap at home. I have raised puppies and kittens from 2 months old and have had elderly pets that have lived to be 19 years old so I have experience with lots of pets of different ages, breeds, and personality types. I've taken care of upwards of 7 cats all in the same household so I am also experienced with caring for multiple pets including households with multiple cats and also dogs. I also have experience to varying degrees with deer, rabbits, horses, chickens, quail, and fish. I think pets are family and best friends and I am excited to meet yours and give them lots of love and attention I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick For daycare or boarding for dogs I would prefer they are cat friendly but accommodations can be made for sure! Currrntl due to my job I can’t do morning drop ins or walks during the work week but can on weekends and can still do boardings. There are some afternoons where I occasionally have avilability and my availability is subject to change so please feel free to still message to ask :) I still do have lots of weekend free time too :) I’m happy to watch multi pet house holds and do daycare for multiple dogs if you have more than one! During meet ups I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick In my own household I would provide them with their own toys, food and water bowls, and take them for lots of walks if applicable. My pets and any animals here are allowed to be on the furniture like the couches and bed but I usually put a blanket and a small bed on the ground in case some babies feel more comfy with that. I am more than happy to also crate them!
“This is the third or fourth time we’ve had our dog stay at Shelly’s and she always loves it there. Shelly sends lots of photos and has managed to get my anxious dog to love her. This time we accidentally left our bag of food at home and Shelly graciously offered to feed her out of her own stock so we wouldn’t have to go back before our trip.”
