Dog Sitting Waunakee

“Lisa took fantastic care of our kitties during our almost two weeks vacation. She kept us updated every day, took the time to play with them, and kept our house in great condition.”

About: I’m experienced with both cats and dogs, house sitting and plant sitting if needed. I have a senior cat myself and two other younger cats but I also grew up around dogs and love to dog sit and take dogs on walks when the weather permits. My schedule is usually very flexible. I’m a full time student and I’m working part time from home in the Miami area. As long as I have a solid Wi-Fi or data connection for a hotspot I’m good to go. If there isn’t already explicit instructions my usual schedule would be to walk the dogs every 2-4 hours (puppies more than that till their potty trained) and feed the animals as instructed. Cats and dogs both need their daily playtime as well. I’m willing to spend the night if you’d prefer or just come and spend the workday with them 12+ hours a day.

“I seriously couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received while I was away! Cassandra went absolutely above and beyond to make sure my cat was well taken care and loved. She was extremely professional and kept me updated every time she visited and sent me pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. My cat was so happy and content when I returned and everything was taken care of! I highly recommend Cassandra, she was so reliable and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed caring for animals. Thank you for taking such great care of my cat!!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going for a long walk, playing outside, or just keeping them company at home. I’m active and love being outdoors, so I’m especially happy to take dogs on walks and give them plenty of exercise and attention. I’m dependable, communicative, and will treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I’d want someone to give mine. I’m comfortable following specific feeding, walking, and care routines, and I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to fit pet care into my week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the week and on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and schedule! I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m attentive, responsible, and happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention.

About: Hi, my name is Marissa and I believe in caring for your pet is if they are my own. Since I was in elementary school, friends and neighbors have trusted me to watch their pets. I have always had a love for animals of all kinds and felt co existing with them has come naturally. I grew up with my family dog (a Havanese) and have learned what it means to be a pet owner and that pets are truly family. I have the most experience with dogs and then cats while I have also cared for small animals like gerbils and even snakes. From stop ins, to walks or trips to the park or trails, overnight, weekend or week long stays, I've done it all. I have experience with puppies to elderly dogs/cats, big and small dogs, pets who may need special care whether it's due to anxiety or administering medications. No matter what, my main concern will always be to make sure your pet is safe, happy and comfortable. I am currently taking pet sitting requests as part time hours. My hours can be flexible and vary from week to week. I have day time and night time availability. It is important and standard I keep a clean home and space, free of any hazardous objects/food/etc. I like to make a comfortable space just for your pet so if they are staying with me, they feel at home. If I am in a client's home, I always make sure I get clear instructions according to their pet's habits/routine as well as how the client prefers I stay in their home. I understand every pet is different and I will cater to their specific needs and personality.

About: We have 3 cats and a mini Dachshund, all rescues. Reliable, respectful, dependable. All-around animal-person, committed to keeping animals safe and happy - I strongly believe that people have a responsibility, duty to care for and love all animals; it’s a privilege to have a relationship with them, and we should foster and nurture that. Interested in teaching basic dog commands. Will learn to administer shots if needed. Sensitive to changes in behavior that could signal unhappiness, illness. In the future, hope to create a doggy sanctuary, so I can have many dogs of my own to love and care for every day. I just love dogs & cats & all animals! Value open and clear communication with owners to better care for their pets and to build healthy relationships between us all. My availability has some flexibility, so contact me to discuss! Recently retired and looking forward to devoting time and energy doing things I love, including caring for and building bonds with furry friends. Prefer scheduling ahead of time but will do my best to accommodate same-day requests. All care will be provided according to your instructions. For daycare service provided at my home, I would take dogs out on leash at regular intervals because my yard is un-fenced. Kitties and doggies are loved and treated with kindness and respect.

“Travis stepped up at the last minute to provide drop in care over the holidays. He was communicative, great with Frankie, and very professional. We came home to a very happy pup!”

About: Dogs control my life! By day I am a receptionist at a local vet clinic/rescue. At home, I have a rescue Chihuahua who is 8 years old and has been with me for 4 wonderful years. My whole day revolves around pets and I can't get enough. I'll treat your pets like the sweet baby angels they deserve to be! I work a later schedule most days of the week, Monday through Thursday I'm in the clinic until 7, and Fridays 9-5. I have plenty of time for morning and night walks, breakfast and dinnertime! I treat my clients home better than my own. You won't even know I was there! I'm clean, respectful and knowledgeable. I will stick with you and your pets daily schedules, so their routines don't get disturbed.

About: I currently have two dogs of my own! I have raised two puppies and rescued one of them. I have owned big and small breeds but my two personal dogs are large and giant breeds. I would love to love on your doggies like I love on mine! Currently, I am in between jobs and will be taking classes to train dogs! I will have plenty of time on my hands to love on your babies! My days are structured around my dogs and caring for them. My dogs are also crate trained and fed inside their crates. Additionally, I have a fenced in yard!

About: Hi, I’m Roo! I’ve had pets my whole life and have pet-sat since I was 11. I have experience with dogs, cats, and even birds. I day-sit, I can walk and I can do check-ins. I love enjoying the company of your pets :) I currently am doing school virtually, so I’m free every day since I work online. I have a ton of flexibility to watch your pets whenever! I will talk to you about how you care for your pet and follow along with that! I have experience crate-training, aggression play and more from my own pup, and can follow along with any needs you let me know of for your pet!

About: Hi, I am Halle! I grew up with many dogs, including a Pug, Pomeranian, Wheaton Terrier, Golden Doodles, a Poodle, and Boston Terriers. I worked at a dog groomers and have experience pet sitting other breeds, including Labs, Alaskan Klee Kai, Great Pyrenees, Border Collies, and other mixed breeds. Because of this background, I am very comfortable with high energy puppies, large breeds, and senior dogs that need a slower pace on walks. If you choose to board your dog at my apartment, my routines include 30 minute walks, play time in a fenced in dog park (which is apart of my complex), feeding, and baths as needed. I am comfortable giving them medication as long as there are instructions (for example, oral medicine with instructions provided by a veterinarian). I highly prefer that your dog is potty trained and does not bark loudly, as I will not be at my apartment the entire time to watch them. Safety is my number one priority for myself, the dogs, and their caregivers, so proper communication will be required for Rover services. I’m currently available for walks in the morning and afternoons. If you board your dog at my apartment, I will take them on 3-4 walks per day. I am flexible right now and my schedule can change depending on the services you request. Walks- I can come to your house/apartment to take your dog on a walk. Client’s home pet sitting service- same applies^- I can come to your house/apartment to care for your pet’s needs. Boarding in my home- I request that your pet be dropped off at my apartment with food and food/water bowls, toys, leashes, and their crates if they need them. I maintain a clean, safe apartment and do not have my own pets. My apartment complex has a large fenced in dog park. I will regularly take your dog to this park for play time during their boarding. *Safety- there is no smoking or other dangerous activities in my home. Communication is my priority to ensure that your pet remains safe and healthy. I will provide periodic updates to confirm that they have been fed, walked, played with, etc during your service.

“Cassie took excellent care of our kitties while we were in Florida and even brought in our mail and packages for us! I would highly recommend her for your petsitting needs.”

“Jimmy was quick to respond when we were in a last minute pinch! We will definitely be using him again to take care of our Newfie.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up with multiple family dogs, mostly larger breeds. After college, I adopted a dog of my own who was by my side for 10 wonderful years. I've also spent the past decade volunteering at local animal shelters, which has given me hands-on experience with dogs of every size and temperament, from tiny pups to gentle giants. Along the way, I've learned how to work with nervous or anxious dogs, administer medication, and care for the specific needs of senior dogs. Whatever your dog needs, chances are I've handled something similar. I can't wait to meet your pup and give them all the love they deserve! My schedule is very flexible, which makes it easy for me to work pet care into my day. My day job is fully remote, so I'm able to build walks and drop-in visits around my work rather than being tied to a rigid 9-to-5. Right now I have even more flexibility, since I'm between roles, so I can typically accommodate last-minute requests or visits at times that might be trickier for others to fit in. Since I offer drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting, I spend most of my time in your home rather than mine — so keeping things safe and familiar for your pet is my main focus. - I go over feeding, medication, and routine details with you before I start, so nothing gets missed - I double-check leashes, harnesses, and collars before every walk - I lock up and secure the house every time I come and go - I'm comfortable with nervous or anxious dogs — I read their body language and never rush them - I can manage medication schedules and give senior dogs the extra care they need - I send photo and video updates so you always know how your pup is doing - I keep your vet's info on hand just in case Your home, your routine, your dog — I just fold right in and keep things running smoothly while you're away.

“Peyton quickly befriended our new cat and sent us cute photos while we were away! She handled my long list of instructions with understanding and grace!”

About: Caring for dogs isn't just something I do. It's something I'm genuinely passionate about. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, from young puppies learning routines to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to get to know each pet's unique needs. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, crate training, basic puppy training, leash walking, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I'm also attentive to changes in behavior or health and believe it's important to catch anything unusual early and communicate it with owners right away. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I make it my priority to provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they feel comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Communication is very important to me. I'll provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to care for every pet as if they were my own and give owners complete peace of mind. Pet care is already a major part of my daily routine. My day is structured around caring for dogs, so adding walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or boarding fits naturally into my schedule. Because I'm already following consistent routines for feeding, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and cleaning, I'm able to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Whether your pet needs a consistent routine, extra exercise, medication, or simply companionship, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I make sure every pet is in a clean, secure, and calm environment where they can feel relaxed and stress-free. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to behavior and overall well-being so I can quickly notice if something seems off and communicate right away. In my care, pets are never left unattended for long periods. I supervise interactions, provide structured playtime, and ensure a safe environment at all times—especially when introducing pets to new surroundings or other animals. I also respect the client’s home fully when providing in-home care, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I understand how important trust is when someone allows you to care for their pet or enter their home, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable, while giving owners complete peace of mind through clear communication and reliable care.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life, my father was a veterinarian. I love being around and interacting with dogs because of how affectionate they are. I've taken care of family and friends pets for over 20 years and am willing to allow your pet to stay in their home where they are most comfortable while you are away. I am currently retired and open for whatever your needs are, 7 days of the week. I am open to staying at your home any day of the week as needed, or for drop in visits during the day. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your pet in your home to keep their schedule as consistent as possible. I enjoy taking dogs for walks and letting them play and relax.

“We had a one-time drop-in visit for our cat Noodle, and it was a great experience. Communication was prompt and clear, and they were right on time. Even though it was just one stop, they made sure Noodle was well taken care of and comfortable. We really appreciated the update and photos — it gave us peace of mind knowing Noodle was in good hands. You can tell they genuinely care about animals and take their responsibility seriously. Reliable, kind, and professional. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend”

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses, and have experience in oral med administration with both cats and dogs. I have a soft spot for the big dogs (they're lap-sized if you commit!). I run half marathons so getting good exercise in will be no problem (even in Wisconsin weather!). I'm currently training for distance running, so you can expect great exercise for your pet! Whether it's a long meandering sniff-ari or an intense loop around the neighborhood, I would love to know what fits your dog best. As I'm in your home, your instructions are paramount. You know your pet better than anyone, and I am happy to keep their normal routines in place. I like getting to know each animal and their unique personality, and while I *love* giving snuggles and pets, I understand some pets prefer their space.

“Rachel was awesome, she accepted the job last minute due to a cancellation and made sure she knew all of my cat's care instructions prior and did a great job with him. I received pictures every day and she even went above and beyond by bringing an unexpected package into the garage for me. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. Will definitely book her for a sitter again.”
