House Sitting Vilas

“We felt so comfortable while Oliver was watching Tofu! They gave us plenty of updates and Tofu plenty of attention. We appreciated the time they spent with her and taking care of our apartment! Would definitely recommend to others!”

“Lucy was great! I appreciated that she wanted to meet my dog in advance since she would be spending two nights at my place. It was helpful to show her around and introduce her to my anxious dog. Lucy was a prompt responder and clear communicator. My dog was in a good mood when we got home from our trip which gave me peace of mind that he was in good hands and he was comfortable. Would definitely recommend Lucy for future house sitting needs and I hope to work with her again soon.”

“Mia was awesome sitting with our 10 month old, frisky puppy. She understood his personality immediately so he felt comfortable with her right away. And so did we. Despite the freezing cold, Mia was on time and took him outside several times. We highly recommend Mia!”

“Katie was wonderful and took excellent care of my cat, dog, and house during a weekend away. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos, which I really appreciated.”

“Grace was very responsible and responsive from the meet and greet to wrapping up the stay. Grace stayed with our two pups and cat for a weekend and everything went smoothly. Our one dog was recovering from an IVDD flareup with some special care needs and Grace handled everything perfectly.”

“Smooth meet-up & sitting experience, and great level of communication! She was reliable and trustworthy in taking care of our pups and the house. Would definitely work with you again and looking forward to it!”

“Tatyana is great with our dog. She was very understanding to a last minute change. Communication is great! Sent pictures and updates after her visits. Highly recommend.”

“Lynne did a great job taking care of Jett for the day. He was happy and wild as usual when I got home. She was friendly and very attentive. I will use her again!”

“We have used so many dog sitters over the last ten years in the various places we’ve lived, and none of them have had to deal with even half the things Mary had to manage during her few days staying with Pax. In the very first day after we left, Pax was experiencing lots of GI symptoms which led to a lot of cleaning up after him. He also threw up his medications, leading to him having seizures. Mary was so communicative, patient, and calm throughout all of it. Last but not least, she also alerted us right away when our upstairs neighbors hit a pipe, causing a flood in our apartment. She helped to move things around in our apartment, tried to do what she could to protect our things, and was able to wait with Pax while we figured out other arrangements. Mary is truly an angel and we are so thankful she was there with Pax through all of that. We only hope that the experience didn’t scar her for life and we’ll be able to see her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was old enough to know what a pet was, whether it’s my own, a neighbor’s, or a friend/family member’s. I love animals, and am considering going into vet work! I have experience with both puppies/kittens and seniors as well :). I can walk, feed, give meds, and do anything you need! I’m a full-time student during the week, but I will always have time to drop-in, or stay overnight. I’m very flexible with my scheduling, so I will happily do whatever you and your pet need! While I can’t offer boarding at my home because I have four roommates, I will care for pets in every way possible no matter what! I know some nice parks for walks, and I’m also happy to chill if they’re a homebody! Again, entirely up to you and your pets needs :)

“Camille did a wonderful job caring for our very active puppy! Took her for multiple walks even in the terrible WI spring weather! She also did well giving her medicine for some tummy troubles. Our home was left very clean too. Will not hesitate to have her again!”

“Jacki is amazing!!!! I cannot say enough good words about her! She provides constant updates with great information about the my pets and lots of very cute photos! She made me feel super confident that my pets are well taken care of so I don’t have to worry about them. There’s always an update coming my way right when I wanted to check. She also has great attention to details and noticed that I had a perishable package delivered. She checked in with me to get my permission for next steps and I really appreciate how she approached that situation. It is an amazing experience having Jacki as a sitter. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering.”

“Annie is one of Ollie's favorite sitters! She is so kind and communicated well throughout the stay. She takes great care of Ollie and the apartment, leaving things better than she finds them. Highly recommend Annie!”

Angi K.

“Hanna did a great job staying at our house and caring for our dogs, we’d happily book with her again! She sent regular updates and communication was timely and professional.”

Julie W.

“Jacob is exactly who you want watching your animals. I have four dogs and two cats, which is a lot to hand off to anyone, and he handled the whole crew like a pro. Communication was on point the entire time, he sent pictures without me having to ask, and he was flexible when things shifted on my end. Every single one of my fur babies was happy and settled when I got home, which is honestly the best review I can give. I’d book him again in a heartbeat.”

Amanda K.

“Evelin is so sweet with my dogs! They love hanging out with her! She is super communicative and sends frequent updates. I’d recommend her to anyone!”

Mary Kate C.

“Madison took great care of our pets and house while we were away! She was quick to respond and sent lots of photos 😊”

About: Hi, my name is Emily! I recently graduated with my master’s in environmental science and am currently working for the Dane County. I love my job but miss interacting with animals on a daily basis, so I am looking to start up pet sitting and dog walking again! I have over 8 years of direct animal care experience, working with both domestic (cats, dogs, and chickens) and exotic pets (birds, reptiles, and small rodents). In addition to volunteering with numerous animal rescues as a foster mom, I have worked as a veterinary assistant, completed two animal care internships with accredited aquariums and nature centers, and provided long and short-term care of wildlife for conservation research. Because of these experiences, I am able to provide a variety of services, including: • Bathing • Medicine administration • Adhering to special diets • Enforcing or redirecting behaviors • Incorporating healthy exercise and play As an animal lover and experienced pet sitter, my priority is the physical and mental well-being of your pets. I will ensure that they receive top quality care as well as the affection and attention they deserve. You can trust that your pets will be well loved and cared for in your absence. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my availability or would like to discuss rates for multiple pets/long-term care. My current position allows me flexibility in my day, so I am able to do drop-in visits every 5-6 hours. However, I may be willing to accommodate alternative schedules, so please feel free to reach out to me to discuss you and your pets needs! I provide animal care in your home in order to reduce the amount of change and stress for your pets in your absence. I have pets listed in my profile but I have family that cares for them while I am working so all of my attention will be on your furry friends.

About: I have a very high level of knowledge and skills of how to take care of cats of any age and ability and enjoy spending time with all kinds of cats. I have much less experience with and knowledge of dogs but I'm very familiar with the basics of feeding and walking. Friends have described me as a cat whisperer and I like to think of myself as such. Not that I might not have challenges, but I know how to meet and vibe and care for them. I have completely open availability for the next month or so as I am unemployed living with friends and trying to establish myself here. I typically like doing care between the late morning and early evening, but anything can be talked about and arranged. I enjoy spending the day alongside animals, being attentive to their needs by taking them out for long walks, providing healthy snacks and cuddles through the day, and offering a calm energy to relax energetic or otherwise anxious pets. I am confident in caring for pets across a range of personalities, and am happy both giving pets lots of attention and energy and coexisting with more introverted pets.

“Meghan was absolutely wonderful with Walter and Draco! She was super communicative, followed all of our instructions perfectly, and we felt completely comfortable knowing the boys were in great hands while we were away. Walter has also been dealing with a leg injury, and we really appreciated how attentive Meghan was to the extra instructions we left for him. Everything went smoothly, the boys were happy and well cared for, and we would absolutely have Meghan watch them again. Highly recommend!”
