About: I love all animals but have a soft spot for older dogs and cats that might need a little extra love and attention. I grew up with dogs but currently have a 5 year old cat who i adopted. I am a teacher who has much more free time in the summers. I am looking for afternoon/evening weekday jobs and anytime on the weekends. I will come to your home and make your fur baby feel comfortable in their own space. I can also take them for walks and/or play with them in your home.

About: I have experience caring for pets, having grown up with them, and I am available with a flexible schedule throughout the summer months. I would be happy to assist if needed. I am currently a teacher on summer break and have availability to assist with dog walking, provide daytime or evening companionship for pets, and house sit if needed! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, or simply offering affection and companionship. My priority is always to ensure pets feel happy, safe, and well cared for.

“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.”



About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’m comfortable with large or small dogs. Whether you are looking for someone to take your dog on a walk, or give he or she some snuggles, I’m happy to do so. I live in Waunakee. I work from home Monday-Friday. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can do whatever is needed. I am looking for a few families who need someone reliable to walk their dog. I am able comfortable getting acclimated to new dogs with yummy treats, toys, and cuddles. I would prefer to come to the owner’s home for walks, pet sitting, or what is needed.

“We are very thankful for Jess and how well she takes care of our dogs! The pictures and detailed updates she provides give so much comfort when we have to be away. We plan to use her for all of our future dog sitting needs :)”


About: Hi, I'm Meghan! I grew up on a farm, so knowing the responsibility of caring for animals is of great importance to me. I grew up with dachshunds and German Shepherds, so I have experience in caring for both big and small dog breeds. I really love animals, so much so that I almost became a vet. By caring for others' animals, it allows me to get in touch with my passion for furry friends! I have also had a nearly blind dog, who I'd have to prescribe eye drops to, and a dachshund whose back legs no longer worked, so I do have experience in working with animals with disabilities as well. I look forward to assisting you with your furry friends! I work full-time at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, but I work remotely on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays and am usually able to step away to take your furry friend for a walk or just to check in. I'm usually very flexible to others needs. Growing up with dogs definitely instilled a lot of responsibility for me. I always ensure that the animals were fed in the mornings and evenings, and got their mid-day treat. I would help bathe them if they got dirty, and brush them when their coats get a little out of control. I would also take them for daily walks, or just throw the ball around to them. I will also always supply snuggles!

About: I have taken care with much love all types of animals, both domestic and farm for the majority of my life. I worked in a professional capacity too with farm animals. I am totally flexible during the morning hours and on Sundays too. I can work some evenings, depending on the night. Thank you so much! By understanding the pet’s owner’s needs, I make allowances to best serve the pet’s individual needs. I treat as my own with love and attention.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 16, and have never stopped because it brings me so much joy. I have never met a dog who doesn’t love me right away! I’m currently working part time at Zen Dogs in Waunakee, other than that I waitress on Friday nights but am available during the day at your convenience:) I am good with dogs on leash and being crated, I am able to fulfill any needs your dog needs for that day or night!

Meghan O.
“There are few people I have met who care about and love animals as much as Meghan. She is experienced in many different pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and even some farm animals! Meghan helped us when we got our new puppy by spending time with the puppy while I worked. Our dog still loves when Meghan comes over and we joke that our dog must have imprinted on Meghan in those early weeks. Meghan is very punctual and very responsive. There are few people I’ve met who care for animals with the same love and dedication as Meghan. She has experience with a wide range of pets—including dogs, cats, rabbits, and even some farm animals. When Meghan is with animals, they seem to naturally gravitate toward her. When we brought home our new puppy, Meghan was a lifesaver. She spent time with her while I was at work, giving her the love, attention, and care she needed during those early weeks. To this day, our dog lights up when she walks through the door. We always joke that she must have imprinted on Meghan! Meghan is punctual, reliable, and responsive, which will give you so much peace of mind while you are away from your pet. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced to care for their pets.”


Joshara A.
