“Nikki was awesome!! We are very new to using a service to help with our pets, but Nikki has made the experience a very positive one. She sent lots of pictures and a thorough update on how my little sweetie was doing. It helped put me at ease. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future for any help we may need.”

“Another wonderful weekend away knowing my fur baby is so loved and cared for. Thank you Ning! As usual, thank you for sending all the photo updates. It’s so reassuring knowing he is having fun.”

“Hannah was great! She agreed to do 2 meet and greets since we were moving and came in to feed our kitten (16 year old prissy cat) and got her to take all her meds, no problem! Thank you, Hannah!”

“Ellen took notes during our meet and greet and definitely comfortable with dogs. While gone I received several pictures of the pups which I was happy to see. I also was notified when a visit was complete. Thank you Ellen!”

“Elisabeth was the best. It was so hard being away from the girls this long for the first time ever. But Elisabeth made it easier. She care for my dogs and communicated regularly. I would highly recommend Her to everyone looking for a caring pet sitter!”


About: I've always had pet dogs and cats since childhood. At this time my husband and I are unable to have a pet of our own, but I frequently house sit and watch pets for friends and family. I work as a school counselor, so I have plenty of availability during the summer to care for your fur-buddies! I am energetic and enjoy playing with excited animal friends, and I also hold firm boundaries and can support your training. I work at a school, so I have plenty of time over the summer to love and care for your pets! I teach summer school from eight to noon a few weeks over the summer, and I also teach occasional yoga classes, but besides those commitments, my time belongs to the fur-babies! I am very energetic and happy to go for long walks or play with dogs to tire them out! I am also clean and detail-oriented so I will take good care of your home if you are away. During the school year I work as a school counselor so I value service to others, honesty, integrity, and sharing joy and kindness.
About: I love all types of dog breeds and work with all different kind of dogs! I’ve done dog sitting and dog boarding for the past 5 years in Madison ! I love getting to know each dog. I mostly have availability for pet sitting and check ins right now, I have a trusted client base in the area and would love to get to know your animals!! I love going for walks ! Why not take a cute dog to get some energy out ! I feel every dog deserves a daily walk! Theres a huge local dog dog park! I like bringing toys and balls to play! When I’m pet sitting I like to make sure they go out every 3-4 hours
About: I have been around animals all my life and even gravitate towards animals versus people in most social situations. I have cared for small Poodles and Terriers, as well as Labs and Great Danes. When I was in middle school, I taught my Golden Retriever obedience and agility. I put 110% effort into all jobs I am hired for because it’s truly something I love. I am an active individual who also loves to snuggle up on the couch with a good book. So whether your pet is an active walker or a cuddly couch potato, I promise to provide them with the love care they need while you are away. I can't wait to sit for your family and help ease your worry while you’re away! Before going to work as a teacher, I would make sure to check in on your pet in the morning. Feed them, take them potty, and depending on time take them for a morning walk. Directly after work, I would go home to see my cat Benny, and then go visit your house. I’ll make sure that your pup is fed, goes on a walk, or has a great amount of playtime and snuggles! Before taking them outside at your house, I would make sure that your dog is either on a leash, the yard fence is closed, or their recall is good with me. Most importantly, I want to make sure that in a new situation and with someone new in their home, they somehow do not get loose.
“Rosalina was absolutely amazing with my cats while I was away—I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the start, she was super communicative, reliable, and flexible. I have two cats in my “zoo” and she took such great care of them! She made sure they were fed, happy, and stuck to their routine. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. She also kept me updated while I was gone, which I really appreciated. Being away is always a little stressful, but knowing they were in such good hands made it that much easier! Rosalina also went above and beyond by helping with my snake’s bioactive enclosure and keeping up with watering to maintain the environment, which I really appreciated. I came home to two very happy, well-loved cats, a thriving bioactive enclosure, and everything was exactly how I left it. Truly the best feeling! I would 100% book with Rosalina again! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and just overall wonderful with animals. Anubis and Neffy definitely approve 🐾”

“Samantha has been so wonderful with my Australian Shepard. She gives amazing updates and always sends multiple picture updates! She is a great and compassionate sitter, Jonee and I appreciate her!”

“Shatoria was so great with my cats. She is very responsive and a great listener. I had a lot of changes in care instructions, and she handled everything patiently and without any issues. She kept me updated, followed all the details carefully, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I could tell my cats were well cared for and comfortable with her. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”
