“Allison was great!! She was extremely organized and did an awesome job. Her attention to detail was amazing and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her in the future. It was the first time leaving our little kitten on vacation so it was perfect to see pictures and updates when we were gone. Thanks again!!!!”
“Judging from the photos it looks like you did a fantastic job and I appreciate you being so communicative. We’ll be out of town DEC 23-29, and I’d love to discuss scheduling for those dates if you’re available.”
“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.”
“Caitlin was very communicative and was able to help us out on short notice! She did a great job with our pups (one which is a bit of a stinker sometimes) and we definitely recommend using her services!”
“Cloey was such a great sitter for my cat, Gloria! She sent me so many pictures of her each day, and gave me a thorough description of all the fun things they got up to while she was there! I will definitely be reaching out to Cloey again when Gloria needs a sitter!”
“Brenda was an amazing caretaker of my cat! She was consistent, comfortable to work with, and exceptionally attentive to pet care. Brenda was very accommodating and reasonable when I was faced with unexpected emergency delays that changed my return time, for which I am particularly appreciative.”
“Leah did a great job checking in on my cats while we were away. She was communicative, super nice, and followed through with what we asked. She sent lots of pictures of our cats when she checked in on them. When we got home, nothing was out of place and our cats had a clean litter box plus plenty of food and water. I definitely plan on booking Leah again in the future.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Waunakee
“Edith is your dream sitter. She posts daily photos and updates of your pet. She obviously loves what she does. She is a lovely soul and my Mimi, who can be shy, had her tail up in the photos which made me feel reassured that she was in a safe, loving environment.”
“Jenna and her girls took such great care of Merlin! Jenna always responds in a timely manner and has a flexible schedule. I got daily picture updates on how he was doing which was much appreciated. Merlin will definitely be visiting them again! Thank you so much 😊”
“Gen is great and super reliable 🥰! She watches our 2 younger ones (because the one is destructive and the other one has anxiety™️️) and they are always tired at the end of the day 😊. I would absolutely recommend Gen.”
“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!”
“Julie has taken great care of Arnie! He loves to play with Zilla and hang out in the yard. We will definitely bring him to Julie for more daycare in the future!”
About: We have been loving and caring for dogs for a long time. Big and small dogs; young and old. Our son and 7 year old dog are welcoming I am currently working from home and Bryan works part time. Our son is home schooled at this time, therefore, we have time and energy to help other dogs and other families We have a large yard in a quiet neighborhood; part of our yard is fenced and other part is open for additional exercise. We also walk our dog daily.
“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.”
“Sue and Molly took wonderful care of my dog, Bentley. I could tell he loved them too! They sent lots of photos and were willing to share updates any time. He was exhausted by the end of each day. I appreciate their flexibility as well.”
About: Hi! I have cared for dogs and had them as part of my family for my entire life, from a reactive spit-fire Jack Russell Terrier to a gentle giant Saint Bernard. Currently, I have a five-year-old Golden Retriever named Goose. I love seeing him play and interact with other dogs. He does a great job of matching another dogs energy. Working from home allows me the time and flexibility to give dogs the love and attention they deserve. My yard is an entire acre where dogs can run, roll, and sniff around. Despite having such a large yard, I still make it a point to take dogs out for walks. Not only do they love the exercise, but it's something I enjoy too. My experience with different breeds and temperaments has taught me how to create a balanced environment where dogs can thrive, stay active, and be happy. Outside of my own home, I also volunteered at a humane society for over three years caring for cats, feeding animals, cleaning kennels, and walking dogs. It would be an honor to get to know a part of your family and ensure they having a wagging tail all day long :) I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule! My routine with Goose is a 6:00 am potty break, an 11 am walk, a 4 pm walk, and two potty breaks in the evening. I would be willing to do more or less walks / potty breaks for your dog(s). I have tons of space at my home (it is an open acre yard with an invisible fence). I am open to following steps that make you and your dog feel safe. I have tons of toys and beds to make your puppy feel 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.”
About: Happy, loving, patient and playful pupsitters who have experience working as kennel manager, dogsitter, and lifelong dog lovers. We love and care for all creatures big and small and happen to love dogs as though they were our own children (and they are.) My partner Jessie and I share all dog duties in our house. Someone is around the house every day of the week, as Jessie often works from home, and our two pups are always home. We strive to never leave our own pups alone for no more than 4 hours so there's always time and room for bathroom breaks. And if the weather is nice we leave the backyard door open for them to roam free (in a fenced area). It is the most ideal place for a dog to have room to move about, activities to entertain, and loving caretakers to help them live their best life. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space to roam, along with healthy wildlife distractions, fun toys, plenty of snacks, and generous room inside the house for everyone to feel cozy, warm or cool, and always nurtured.
“Cynthia’s pupdates are THE BEST! I look forward to her primo photos & pupdates every time. My pup Popsicle gets so excited when she sees Cynthia. Hands-down the most thoughtful, caring pup-sitter that I have encountered. ✨”
“Jenny felt right at home and couldn't wait to go back the second day! I'll definitely return to Paula the next time we need daycare! Communication and updates were great and very much appreciated!”
About: I took care of my family's dog until I moved to college, and I really miss having a dog! Rover is perfect because it will allow me to satisfy my love for dogs while fitting with my schedule and helping you. I am also hoping to get a dog in the near future. I enjoy running and walking so having a dog with energy is not a problem as long as they are leash trained. I’m currently working from home full time. I can be flexible on when walks occur but am fairly busy between 8-5 and need some heads up to plan around meetings. I do not have a fenced in yard but will take your dog on frequent walks or as needed if you’re booking that service. I’m careful to follow instructions on how to get into your house for walks and lock up on the way out.
“My little Westie loves Suellen and her two sweet dogs. They treat her like one of their own. It's great for me to be able to drop her off for the day, knowing she'll have fun and be safe.”

“It has been such a joy over the last 8 months to have Michelle walking our pup. She is flexible, reliable, and just a really good person, too. Great with our dog, even when she is naughty. Highly recommend!”
“Lexi is very punctual and easy to work with. She takes great care of our pup and went above and beyond with extra requests today to get him some water and put him in his crate when they got back from their walk. Thank you, Lexi!”
“Be prepared for a very thorough prep meeting and detailed updates- like you may expect with a babysitter for a child. Allison wouldn’t be a good fit for someone who is looking for an especially quick key transfer; she takes this very seriously. She worked with my pup on reinforcing some of the training we were doing and communicated about her behavior in detailed notes. She definitely went above and beyond- exactly what you would want for your fur baby.”
“This was the second time working with Brenda. She did a great job again. I received updates and pictures with every walk/ visit and medication was administered according to instruction.”
About: I have a genuine love for animals. I proudly volunteer at the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin, where I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. That extra experience means I bring not just walks but patience, training awareness, and heart to every visit. Your pet isn’t just on my schedule, they’re part of my pack. 🐾 I work part-time and offer dog walking and drop-in visits for any type of animal during my off hours during the week. Weekends are usually pretty open! Safety, trust, and comfort are at the heart of everything I do. I care for my own pets in a calm, loving environment and treat every animal in my care as if they were part of my family. You can trust that your pets will be safe, respected, and genuinely loved. Their well-being always comes first. 🐾
“Cloey did such a great job walking our dog Lily! She was timely and communicative. Lily got bored with walking so Cloey filled up the remaining time playing with her in the backyard. Lily loved her time with Cloey. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Michelle is great!! My dog is very shy and slow to warm up to people so I was worried about finding someone to walk him while we are at work but Michelle has been awesome!”

About: Hi there!, This is Wei/Will. I have a Shiba Inu myself, and would like to let Meta make some friends. I prefer small to medium dogs. I have a big fenced back yard to play with dogs. I am fully remote working, and my time is quite flexible. I usually spend time playing with Meta, and would like to make new friends. I have a fenced backyard, and a whole walk out basement as a playground for Meta. There are plenty of room for pets in the house.
About: Hi, I’m Ruby! I'm a Humane Society volunteer and I’ve been house sitting and taking care of animals for about six years. I’m a college student planning to study animal behavior and marine biology, and I’m using this opportunity to get more hands on experience with animals while saving up for school. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, chickens, goats, horses, birds, fish, and more, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and care needs. I take pet care seriously and always do my best to follow routines and make animals feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. If you’re looking for someone responsible, experienced, and passionate about animals, I’d be happy to help! I’m currently a college student and in the fall and spring have classes 4 days a week (Mon-Thurs) in the mornings and in the afternoons. I am very flexible other than that! I am here to assist following the usual routines of the animals in my care and to ensure that they are safe, healthy, and happy.
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.
About: I have had pet care experience with a neighbor for four years now. And I have also helped own a dog for 8 years. With my neighbor I do pet sitting/drop in visits, dog walking, and cat care. With my own dog, I have had him since he was a puppy, and he is my best friend. I have had experience living with him, walking him, feeding him, and bathing and grooming him as well. I would do anything for my dog, and I will transfer that love to all animals I meet. I am a college student and my plan is to do this during my winter break between semesters. Since I will not have school during this time, my schedule is very free and flexible. I am doing this to have something to look forward to every day during break. So I am very open on a daily basis to accommodate to your schedule. My plan is to do services that are in my clients home because my dog right now doesn't always work well with others. So when I am in my clients home I will treat all people, items, and pets with the utmost respect and kindness. I will care for your pets on drop-in visits and on walks like they are my own.
