Dog Sitting in Waterloo

About: I have been taking care of neighborhood dogs as well as my own since I was 6. I have also been working in doggie daycares for 4+ years; I take a lot of pride in being able to build connections with the dogs I get to take care of! I am currently a full-time worker, but I can always make time for your pet! I tend to have a bit more availability in the mornings!☀️ I like to come and hang out with the dogs as well as taking walks when it's nice out. I am able to administer any medications needed, as I am trained/told. I am also willing to give any baths or extras as long as I get the instruction!

About: I have experience fostering cats and dogs of all ages the last 6 years. I have experience with special needs dogs and cats, reactive dogs, and puppy training. I work from 7:30-4 Monday-Friday I am available to stay at the house to be there in the morning for the pets. I will be there right after work. I unfortunately cannot watch pets at my place, but I can stay at your place or can just stop by to feed and let out.

About: Hello! I am a mature (55 yoa) professional (engineering manager) who has had dogs and cats in the home all my life. I now find myself with time and willingness to provide care to others pets in their homes. I am Dane County Humane Society trained, as a Canine Companion and Adoption Counselor. I am organized in my personal, professional, and social life with a good sense of time management. I can provide the time necessary to provide pets with walks and just one-on-one time. I am interested in leading a healthy lifestyle incorporating exercise and good nutrition to ensure good pet health. Exercise is not only important to the physical health of a pet but also to its mental health. I can also provide a “good vibe” around a pet because they pick up on our moods and our fears and respond accordingly.

“Super calm demeanor which helps my dogs relax.”

“Nina was great! Spent quality time with my pooches and I got lots of pics which was awesome. I’ll definitely use her again! Thanks Nina for watching my fur babies!”

“We use Cassie as often as we can when needing to find a pet sitter. She is always incredible. Our boys are sweet but anxious cats, so they require some play to keep their anxiety lower. Cassie does a great job with them, and our boys seem level and calm when we return everytime Cassie cares for them. We couldn’t be more grateful knowing they feel comfortable with her.”

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

“Bella took care of Lucina on very short notice, and kept her happy, fed, and entertained as best as a drop in visit could do. She would be my first choice if I ever need a cat sitter again and I'd recommend her to anyone!”

About: Agnes Mable, my dachshund of 12 years taught me patience better than anyone. I love spending time cuddling, giving belly rubs, sniffling frito feet, & running around the yard chasing them like a screaming banshee. I stay at friends & neighbors houses frequently when they're away to watch their dogs, cats, & fish. I also have friends & neighbors dogs over for weeks at a time. I've been doing this the since moving back to Wisconsin in April 2024. I love taking care of pets like their my own. Once I have a fenced in yard, I will welcome another dachshund into my life, but until then I fill my cup with caring for other's doggos & kitty cats. I'm excited to meet you! Extra treats for pugs & extra belly rubs for the heavy weights that can fetch & return! I work from home & the days I'm traveling for work will be unavailable to book. We'll spend all day together! I've got a spacious yard, large back deck that gets direct sun light for the one's that like to bake, & if they get along with other dogs, sometimes I walk over to my sisters with them to meet my favorite pug, Potato! I live in a duplex on the bottom floor so it's easy in & out, no stairs. My yard is massive with lots of plants & trees to sniff around. I'll always take my fur friends outside on a leash. I do have a small crate available for dogs under 15 pounds, toys, treats, & extra leashes just in case you forget something. Most importantly, I have a big lamby & a small lamby.

“Sylvia was amazing! She kept great tabs on our kitties and sent daily pictures. Even our shy cat came out to greet her and play! I highly recommend Sylvia and plan on using her in the future”

“Elizabeth came to meet us on a Thursday and was able to care for our dog on Saturday. She was thorough, patient and detailed with our pup and her report with how things went. Our dog can be barky with new people but that didn't stop her. We will use her services again in the future! Definitely recommend to others.”

About: I am a very kind person to animals and people! I try to treat people and animals as I would like to be treated. I would love to care for your pet and will always try to do the best job that I can. Growing up my family always owned a dog and I love all dogs of all sizes. We owned chihuahuas and we owned boxers and pugs. I also own a cat that I love very much! I hope that you will consider me to care for your pets when you are not able to. I promise to treat them as though they were my own. I hope that you will consider me to care for your pet and will do my best. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be fully present with my dogs and cat and any animals I may have the privilege of watching. I typically have a routine with my dogs and cat. They all get fed twice a day. I try to play with them a little every hour and we typically take walks twice a day as well. I do have an outdoor play area for them they go out supervised about 4 times a day

“Baylee was AMAZING! She was flexible with the times she was able to stop over, carefully watched the weather and opened and closed the windows so the cats could stay entertained while we were gone but the house didn’t get wet 🙃 our shy cat even came out to see her every time she stopped over! She kept us up to date with pictures and information with each visit. Would definitely use her again”

“Kristen was very good at updating us and taking care of everything. She even did the extra thing by bringing our garbage cans. Up to the garage.”

About: Hi, I’m Brooklynn! I believe pets are family, and my goal is to make your dog feel safe and loved while you’re away. When I house sit, I provide companionship, constant updates, and plenty of cuddles. I’m comfortable with senior dogs and administering medication. I’ll keep your pup on their exact routine to minimize stress and ensure your home is treated with the utmost respect. I’m a stay at home mom to a 1 year old! So I am available majority of the time throughout the week and weekends. I will make sure that your pup is well taking care of and getting all of the love and care that they deserve! Along with treats of course!

About: I started pet sitting at age 12. I’m comfortable with all animals from exotic to barnyard (ex. Horses, pigs, bearded dragons, wolf-dogs, fox, skunks, parrots and ferrets). I have had my dog for seven years, and my senior cat for one year. I currently do Rover full-time! I am a busy bee- I’m also a student at Edgewood College and a new mom! I love taking regulars and new clients! My pets are crate trained and respect boundaries. I also have baby gates for separation. I do not require crate training but it is extremely helpful if your pet is, so please let me know!

“Amazing, she went out of her way to pick my dog up and take him home for me when I was out of state.”

They bring me joy to my life I get off early since I work for a school so o was gonna do it everyday after school around 3 pm and on the weekends I make sure all the doors are locked and if we going outside make sure they have their leash on before going outside. Protect them from other dogs if necessary

About: Hi! My name is Lensy, and I’m excited about the opportunity to care for your pet. A little about me: I am in grad school (online) and work a hybrid job which gives me flexibility/ allows me to be remote a good amount so your furry friend isn’t alone day! I have plenty of experience looking after neighbors’ pets, from playful puppies to full-grown dogs. I also have experience with birds and cats. I can’t wait to take your furry friend out for walks, keep them entertained, and meet their unique needs. I understand it can be hard to trust someone new with your beloved pet, so please don’t hesitate to share any concerns or specific instructions. I’m here to make both you and your pet feel comfortable! I’m flexible, understanding, and passionate about keeping pets happy and active. I look forward to meeting your little companion! PS you will see a lot of photos on my profile of my family golden doodle Coco, who is my whole world😌 I I often have the flexibility to work remotely and do grad school online which allows me to be quite adaptable. I am available to do in-person visits and check-ins throughout the day, though I’m unable to provide lodging. My weekends are currently free, so I’m happy to arrange care for your pets during that time as well. Please feel free to reach out to discuss how I can best accommodate your needs! When caring for pets in my home or in my client's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment tailored to each pet's needs. In my client's home, I want to be sure to know their routines. I focus on providing a stress-free experience, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for in familiar surroundings. At home, I have a pet of my own, a mini golden doodle named Coco, who has taught me a lot about pet care and the importance of personalized attention. I ensure a calm, pet-friendly space where all animals can relax and feel at ease. I also maintain consistency in feeding times, play sessions, and any special care routines. I always ensure their safety and well-being is my top priority, no matter the setting.

“Clarissa was fantastic! We hired her to drop in on our dog during a 2 day trip. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog would eat his food (he gets anxious and sometimes doesn't eat when I'm away), staying with him until he ate and even offered to pick up some wet food to entice him. Will definitely hire again!”
