Pet Sitters in Waunakee, WI

Lindsey

Lindsey took very good care of both Lily and my house. I appreciate her efforts on both counts very much. She clearly made an effort to connect with Lily, which is important.

Sonja

I cannot speak more highly of Sonja who recently spent 2 weeks in our home caring for our 2 kitties. Sonja was truly one of the best pet/house sitters we have had (and we have had amazing experiences with almost 15 different sitters on this site!) She was extremely attentive, responsible, and communicative from the start. She was available for a phone conversation before our vacation, sent communication throughout the time we were gone, and most importantly, took incredible care of our cats and home. The cats were clearly well attended to. And I was so pleased to come back to a home that was sparkling clean. Sonja truly went out of her way to treat our space and animals with the utmost care. I highly recommend Sonja and would be delighted to have her back anytime!

Andrea & Adam

Andie and Adam were a delight to work with. Their communication was on-point, friendly, and blessedly minimal. Our anxious pup took to them immediately and was calmer when we returned than when we left. Similarly, the apartment was cleaner than we left it. We highly recommend Andie and Adam!

Heather

Heather was a wonderful housesitter. From our first FaceTime meeting to a virtual walk through of the house before we left for our trip, she was attentive to details about Cinnamon and the house. She was reliable and left the house in great shape. We could tell by the pics, texts and note she left for us that she connected with our quirky cat. We would highly recommend her.

Lisa

Lisa was wonderful with my Boston Terrier who can be quite a handful. My home was just as I left it when I returned. She is reliable, dependable, and trustworthy.

Vartush

Vartush was phenomenal in every way. When my sitter backed out last minute, Vartush came to the rescue and she was everything I could've hoped for: communicative, clean, and super caring! She sent me pictures and videos of my cats at my request, went out to buy more cat food when it ran low, and even cleaned my apartment before she left. I would definitely have her as a sitter again, and would highly recommend her to other pet parents! :)

Nancie & Ronald

It was a pleasure to have Nancie come and sit with our kitties for two weeks. There was great communication, she sent us pictures of happy kitties, and she left the place immaculate. We would welcome her back anytime and highly recommend her,

Marion

Marion watched our cat, Roo, for a little over a week while we were away on vacation. Marion visited us a few weeks prior - to meet Roo and go over some house and pet care instructions. I really appreciated this! When it came to the actual sit, Marion shared plenty of updates (which I’d requested), was tidy, and left Roo happy. I’d recommend Marion to others looking for a responsible sitter!

Amy Lynn

Amy did an awesome job of caring for our home & our dog (Daisy). Communication with her was great, she send photos to us daily of our furbaby. Our home was left in great shape, Amy was very respectful of our property. We would definitely use her again if the opportunity arises.

Danna

Danna was absolutely fabulous - our puppy was well-cared for, going on adventures in the area and visiting neighbors. With our home on the market, Danna had to prepare for two showings and did an outstanding job. Our home was neat and clean upon return. Danna's communications were appreciated as is her kindness.

Chloe

Chloe and Nick arrived the day before we left on our trip so we could spend time showing them the house and letting Omi get used to the idea of new people in the house. It didn't take long for him to warm up to both of them and even slept with them part of them night. By the time we left in the morning, we felt very comfortable that both our home and cat were in very good hands. Periodic updates and photos of our silly Omi were most appreciated. Chloe and Nick would most certainly be welcome back and hope they have the opportunity to see more of the US through house sitting.

Allison & Andrew

Allison and Andrew were great! She made sure the pups take care of and the peace of mind was priceless! She sent pics and checked is as needed and appeared to really care about my pups. Thanks again Allison!

We got to have an amazing time and lots of cuddles with all 5 cats and Toohey and Will. So be prepared to cuddle a lot! The communication was super easy. Any questions were answered quickly, and Chris and her family are super friendly! Would definitely recommend, we're missing the pets already.
