“Appreciate Jolie's diligent care for my buddies while I was away. Communicated well and tended to each of my dogs specific needs. Would be happy to have her back the next time I need a sitter.”


“Brenda was amazing!!! She took great care of our house and our cats. Sent pictures and updates, and left the house cleaner than she found it. 😁 We needed last minute help, and she was so flexible and accommodating! I would not hesitate to hire her again!”


“Sara was great with a last minute booking when my regular sitter had an emergency. I appreciated her willingness to look after Ollie on short notice. She was great with him and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone!”


“Erika was great. She is a delightful person who gleefully mixed with my two furry sweet beasts. When I returned home, everything was in fine shape and the dogs were very happy. I will surely contact her in the future when I travel.”


“Tiana really did a nice job with our pups while we were away. They got out and about and were very well treated! The house looked great upon return and the dogs looked happy! We appreciated the frequent pics and updates while away too. Great professional sitter, excellent job overall!”


“Sidney was great! Very attentive, patient and kept us updated the whole time! We have a very energetic pup who is still learning manners and she was patient with him. We also have an old girl who can be a little unsure of new people and she gave her the time and space to warm up to her. The dogs were in great hands! We will be using Sidney again!”



“Tina went above and beyond to come take care of our pets. I trust that she does a great job and my pups love the company of her and her kiddos. Would recommend and will use again 😊”


“We have never left our boy, Griffin for more than a couple of days before. We went on a two week trip and hired Travis to watch our big sheepadoodle. He was incredible! He sent us pictures and videos of Griffin at the dog park and around the third day, Griffin was giving him his paw and Travis was loving on him. We then received a picture of Griffin on the bed Travis used…. That sealed it…. Griffin loves him! We do too! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our boy❤️”


“Robert did a great job watching Sadie while we were out of the country for a week. He sent updates every day along with pictures. She looked so happy on her walks and when he was just hanging out with her. I recommend Robert!”


“Samantha is a very good worker. She is very responsable and she is always on time. She took care of Rokko very well and Rokko was very happy since the first moment. We appreciated her work very much.”


“James was very dependable and conscientious in taking care of our dogs, cats, and home. He sent pet pictures, texted us if he had any questions, and left our home clean. We were very pleased.”


“Vanessa is a great cat sitter! She gives my cats plenty or playtime and petting. She sent pictures of the cats to me everyday while I was on vacation with a report on how they were doing. Totally gave me peace of mind while I was away and allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying about my cats. :)”


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.

“Anna did a fantastic job caring for our dogs and cat. She sent us regular updates and pictures, including the cutest picture of our dogs by the Christmas tree! The house was looking good when we got home too. Thanks Anna!”


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!

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.”
