“David is a kind and responsible doggy daycare provider. He is very invested in your dog's well-being and does all he can to help your dog enjoy his/her stay. He is working to add even additional accommodations to the good-size, fenced-in play area. My dog, Bagel, had a ball and can't wait to go back... so for many reasons, I am so glad I found David R! Laura”


“We needed someone at the last minute for two days of daycare while we were on the road. Maura and her husband were wonderful! Their love for dogs really show through in their personalities. They had other dogs during Gus's stay and he came back to us pooped out from all the fun he had. if we lived in the area, we would definitely have Gus visit Maura again!”



“I honestly can't put words to how relieved I am to have found someone like Ruby to watch my 8 month old puppy. She treats him like her own dog and he gets to experience so many awesome things every time he stays there (i.e. peacocks, chickens, a super sweet goat, etc). I LOVE that she posts videos and pictures so that I can see everything that he's doing and know that he's safe and happy. I've tried a larger day care center and can say that Ruby is hands down a better fit for Kilo. I highly recommend her for all your day care and boarding needs!!”


“Cynthia and Mark are wonderful. They have watched our dog, Tigger, multiple times. They send updates and photos and Tigger always comes home happy.”


“Emily took great care of our pup, Toby! He is 10 weeks old and she was capable of managing the extra needs of a young puppy. Emily was very communicative and responsive to messages. We would send our pup to be cared for by her again!”


“Gilian was so patient with Oakley on his first sitter experience!! She kept me updated on how he was, concerns she had, and pictures. We got stuck in a family emergency and she came through to watch Oakley last minute, I highly recommend her!!”


“You two were Awesome! Thank you so much for taking such great care of Ruger. He had a blast and he wants to come back there! After the meet & greet on Friday, when we pulled into your driveway for dogsitting on Saturday, he remembered where he was again and we could hardly control him getting out of our truck to get into your place......he was so excited to come there🤣. Again, a BIG Thanks and see you again soon! Brian & Linda P.S. He's still worn out from playing all day there🤪😁”


“Truck had a blast and was very well taken care of. She sent photos and updates the entire time, and it made the entire experience really easy. Thank you!!”


“Korie took great care of my dog Wolfie. Her response was fast to my request for daycare and Korie’s dog Ozzy played well with Wolfie. They even went on three walks too! Wolfie was a very relaxed pup when I picked him up. Thanks Korie!”


“Megan was absolutely wonderful! Very friendly and I loved the updates. Lazlo was very Happy and had a Fun day 🐕🦺😃 Will Definitely be a repeat client!!”


About: I have grown up with dog in my life, Walking them is my job, also my work out. 1 miles at least walk per walk. I grown up with big dogs , walking them is the best way to waste their energy. Also add some work out on my own. For visiting, I work in the 8am-4:30pm , during weekdays anytime before 8 or after 4:30 pm will work for me. On the weekend I usually I can walk them anytime. I live in an apartment I do believe that if you walk him well enough (longer distances, let them smell around) they don’t need a yard. I walk my dog at least one mile per walk. I also play with them at home to make sure they are good to go.

About: I grew up training and showing dogs and will always have a soft spot in my heart for them, especially seniors! I pet-sit for friends and family regularly, and recently decided to open my home to some new furry friends that will keep me company while I work from home. I work from home regularly and love to have a companion during the day, especially for lunch time walks. Overnight boarding works great too with my flexible schedule! I will do my best to follow your dog's regular schedule so that they are comfortable! I can easily let dogs out during the day. I have experience giving dogs medicine (usually a marshmallow or some cheese will do the trick!) As I'm home all day, I could accommodate a dog with separation anxiety.

“I'm thrilled I found this family to take care of my chocolate lab. Came to Madison for a wedding looking to find someone to wear out my dog. I sure did find great family. They have nice size property for her to run around, toys , and a bonus kiddie water pool. I picked her up and she fell asleep right away before we made it too the hotel. Thank you. I will use them again whenever I'm back in Madison.”


About: I have had animals my whole life and love every kind. I look after family and friends animals when they are away, I am open to any type of animal. My girls love helping me when it's time to take care of our animals whether it's feeding, scooping poop or litter, and feedings. Most of all they love snuggles I work from home during the week and my job is very flexible. I am open to help 6am to 8pm daily. Not a ton of notice needed. My husband has a service dog as he is a disabled veteran. We have 3 kiddos and they love animals and taking care of them! They may on occasion join me to learn good work ethics. If that's not ok, no worries just let me know.


About: I love dogs big and small. I have a lot of experience with larger breeds. I have 3 of my own, a yellow lab, German Shepherd, and a boxer mix. I wish I could have 20! I have a lot of availability, as I only work one and a half days per week. I teach fitness classes and I love being active, so lots of doggy walks are right up my alley! I'm happy to play with your pup, frisbee, ball, or any other favorite toy of theirs. Or maybe a good snuggle or belly rub is what they love, then that is what they will get! Your furbaby will have my full attention. I will make sure they are well taken care of and their needs are met!

“Jackie took great care of Millie when we went out of town for the day. Millie had a long walk and got to play in the yard with the hose. She was all tuckered out when she came home at the end of the day.”


“Tony watched my dogs for a couple days in a row and he was great! He is very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the day. Will definitely request services through him again in the future.”


About: I would love to spend time and provide a fun & safe environment for your furbabies. I have been around many different animals my whole life, they truly are the best. I have experience with all sizes, and breeds of dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals. I also have experience with dogs who pull and are reactive or just nervous in general. Hope to hear from you and your fur babies soon! I am available all the time! I'm a stay at home dog mom. I'm available any time of the day and also weekends and holidays, so if you are needing someone to care for your pets while you spend time with family over the holidays then I would be happy to help! I will take care of your furbaby as if they were my own. I know how scary it can be having a stranger care for your pets, but I can assure you that your furbabies will be well taken care of. I provide daily photos/videos and lots of love!

About: I go beyond the basics to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, stimulated, and loved. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and energy levels—from gentle senior pups to high-energy breeds that thrive with agility exercises and interactive play. I love incorporating puzzle toys and movement into our time together to keep their minds and bodies active. I also offer nail trims for both cats and dogs, which saves you a trip to the groomer and helps keep your pet comfortable. Walks are tailored to your dog’s needs, and I’m lucky to have access to a large, green outdoor area for fresh air and fun. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, a calm walk with a senior pup, or enrichment for a curious kitty, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a true love of animals to every visit. Pet care is already a central part of my everyday life. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to take frequent breaks throughout the day—and I use that time to walk, play, or check in on pets. I’m already out caring for my own dog, so adding in extra walks, playtime, or visits with other pets fits seamlessly into my schedule. I love staying active and being outdoors, and pet sitting is the perfect way to combine that with something I genuinely enjoy—spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort and well-being always come first. I make sure fresh water is always available, and I keep a stash of healthy treats on hand (with your permission, of course!). Pets in my care get regular potty breaks outside and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I have extra leashes, cozy pet beds, and a clean, pet-safe environment. I’m also able to travel easily, so I can provide in-home care that keeps your pet in their familiar routine. Whether it's snuggles, structured walks, or playtime in a secure green space, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs and personality.

About: I am nurturing and gentle, and will provide your pet with the best experience. I’ve had lots of animal experience with my own pets, and volunteered at the humane society providing those animals with the extra comfort and TLC they need. I am available Monday through Friday as well as the weekends. Early morning, not late evenings. :) Currently I work at 8am, and am off around 5pm. But would be willing to walk/spend time with the animals before/after to make their day that much better :) I have a large yard for the animals to play, plenty of toys, and lots of love to give. :) your animals will thrive in my care.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Libby! She took care of our dog for 10 days while we were out of the country, and we felt totally at ease the entire time. Libby was incredibly responsive, provided regular updates, and sent plenty of photos that kept us connected and reassured. It was clear our pup was in great hands and getting lots of love and attention. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we’re so grateful to have found someone so dependable and thoughtful. Highly recommend Libby to anyone looking for a caring and communicative sitter!”

Jacqueline L.
“Exceptional Dogsitter 🐾 Leaving your dog in someone else’s care can be nerve-wracking—but not when it’s with Jacqueline. She goes above and beyond in every way. From the moment you meet her, you can feel her genuine love for animals. Jacqueline doesn’t just “watch” your dog—she cares for them like they’re part of her family. Whether it’s giving medicine right on time, making sure daily walks happen (no matter the weather), or showering your pup with attention and affection, Jacqueline’ s incredibly attentive, reliable, and full of warmth. Whether my dog stays at her home or she comes to mine, I always feel completely at ease. My dog comes back happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. Honestly, Jacqueline is a gem, and I don’t know what we’d do without her. Highly, highly recommend. 🐶❤️”
