We absolutely recommend her as a sitter and will book again without hesitation.”
About: I have over 30 years experience training dogs. I am able to dog sit from my home full time. I recently moved to a large property in the country, that is a short 35 minute drive from Madisons west side. I have a acer that is completely fenced in and I am more than happy to offer pick up and drop off to the west side of Madison.

I was a volunteer at two different Humane Society's for over 12 years. I have fostered, rehabilitated and Rehoused 15 dogs most with serious behavioral issues.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Waldwick
“Karen was a great fit for our goldendoodle, Bo. He got lots of play time and loved playing with her dogs. She sent us pictures of his day as well. We are so happy to have found her and so is Bo!”
“Christine is great! Our big rambunctious pup has so much fun there playing with the hang, he comes home good and tired. She takes great care of him, even gave him some of her homemade dog food when he wasn’t eating well (with permission of course). She really knows dogs well and we trust her completely with our pup.”
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.
About: Hello pet parents! This is Avery and you are probably here to find someone who will take care of your pet(s) just like you would. I am your person! I have grown up with dogs my entire life ranging from miniature dachshunds to saint bernards! I have experience from watching family and friends pets to taking special care of my two puppers. I have also volunteered a great deal of time at my former city’s local humane society walking and playing with all different breeds of dogs. I know how stressful it can be finding someone to care for pets during the busy days, so I would love to help others not have to worry so much because I’ve been there! I have two doggos of my own, Lola and Arthur. I’ve had Lola since I was 15 and she went through my college years and now into adulthood and Arthur later joined us. Joseph (Jay) is my partner who also shares our Rover account due to living in the same household. He joined because the account too because if we have people’s pets over, we want them to be comfortable with both of us! Or if you have two dogs that need care we can both come over and give them individual attention, depending on your preferences. I am opening up my schedule for boarding pet care- currently for small dogs only. I am also open to drop in visits on week day afternoons and some weekends- Mount Horeb only. We follow a consistent routine of going out and exploring. We walk in the morning and night with potty breaks in between every 3-4 hours. I am very picky about my dogs and who takes care of them, so I would be exactly the same with your dogs and pets!
“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.”
“Kulfi, my 2 year old, golden doodle, had a great time at Meghna and Divyajyothi's! They were able to take him in last minute during the Labor day weekend. They took him for a walk, shared pics throughout the day and were flexible with our requests! Kulfi had a great time with their dog as well. Will definitely keep them in mind for future stays!”
“Lindsey was great! Super professional with a nice open yard setup for our pup. She was extremely prepared, clean, and fantastic with communication. Our pup seemed happy as a clam when we picked him up! 10/10, highly recommend”
About: I have had animals since I was very young so lots of experience. Have owned 3 rescue dogs who are just like members of my family. Recently, I have been helping friends with their animals when they vacation and am looking to extend my client group to the local area. I am very active so walking dogs is very enjoyable for me. I am free most mornings and nights and have longer breaks during my work day that would allow flexibility for drop ins and walks all week. I am able to come to your home and provide for your pet's needs including walks, feeding, potty breaks etc. I've even been known to clean a litter box or two. Can provide references upon request.
“Jeanette is wonderful! Panda had an absolute blast at her house. He was completely worn out and slept for a full 10 hours when he returned home. Jeanette also sent me a lot of pictures and videos of Panda during his stay. When I arrived to pick him up at her house, Panda looked so comfortable on her couch that it almost seemed like he didn’t want to leave. I wholeheartedly recommend her and will definitely book with her again.”
“Brenda and her girls are dog whispers. They collected our dog, who has bad separation anxiety and he instantly warmed to them, which never happens! They shared lots of photos of him too! When they dropped him off, he was in a happy playful mood, so we knew he had a great time!”
“Kate is amazing! Not only does she send you updates but she also is consistent with the training you and your dog are working on. She treated my dog like it was her own and I feel like my dog is so safe with her. Definitely going to Kate again!”

About: I’ve been a proud dog owner for over 15 years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pups. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve volunteered at local animal shelters, where I helped walk, feed, and socialize dogs from all backgrounds. I'm comfortable with a variety of breeds and activity levels, and I always tailor my approach to each dog’s individual needs, whether it’s a long walk for an active dog, playtime and enrichment for a curious pup, or calm companionship for an older one. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, safe, and loved. I don't have much experience with cats but am eager to learn and help any cat parent that needs it. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to check on or walk pets during the day or anytime during the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your dog, visiting for a drop in, or staying in your home, I make sure each pet feels relaxed, secure, and loved. During walks, I always use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior and surroundings. For drop in visits, I follow your routine for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks to keep things consistent and stress free. When staying in your home, I treat your space with respect and keep everything clean and tidy while maintaining your pet’s usual schedule.
