Dog Walking Alverno

About: I am new to Milwaukee and look forward to providing reliable, professional care for your pet. I offer dog walking and house sitting services in your home or overnight boarding and doggie day care options in our home. And if your dog has special care needs I can accommodate one dog at a time for a more comfortable, individualized experience. You can expect a free Meet & Greet with all new clients so we can review your dog's routine, go over your expectations, and decide if I am a good fit for you. You'll receive regular photo updates throughout your pet's stay. Please reach out with any questions! I am available for services throughout the week and on the weekends part-time with some flexibility depending on the dates. I can accommodate longer stays based on circumstances and care requirements, happy to discuss further! I will follow the owner's guidelines and treat your house and pets with respect. I use a common sense approach to safety and will stay vigilante when spending time with your loved one. I believe in clear communication and am happy to update you as much as needed. Thank you allowing me to help relieve some of the petcare duties for your dog or cat. My personal goal is to keep your pet comfortable and happy while you are away!

About: What sets me apart is my hands on experience as a dog foster, which has given me the ability to care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable adjusting to new routines quickly and helping pets feel safe and settled in a new environment. I provide calm, attentive, in home care where pets are treated like family. I focus on keeping their routine consistent, whether that includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, crate time, or extra play and attention. I’ve cared for both high energy dogs who need structure and exercise, as well as more anxious or relaxed dogs who need a calm, comforting space. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, loved, and at home while their owners are away and to keep owners updated so they can feel at ease. My schedule is flexible, I work part time and I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day. I’m typically home most of the day, so pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I can adjust my daily routine around the pets in my care and make sure their needs are met on a regular schedule. I provide care in a calm, clean, and pet friendly home where safety and comfort are the top priority. Pets are supervised throughout the day and are never left unattended for long periods. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any specific instructions from the owner. I introduce pets slowly into my home to help them feel comfortable and settled. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and all outdoor breaks are always supervised. Inside, pets have a cozy, relaxed environment where they can rest and feel at home. Pets are welcome on furniture if that is allowed by their owner, so they can stay as comfortable as they are in their own home. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, especially during the adjustment period. My goal is to create a safe, low stress, loving environment, and I provide regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing.

About: I have a way with animals. Pets that don't like people typically tend to be my best friends. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My goal is to be friends with every animal I meet. You have fun and I will make sure your pet does as well. I work full time in sales, so I am quite flexible. I can typically work my schedule to fit around what I need to do. I am happy to drop in and hung out with your pet while you are away. I love to go for walks, so I will be happy to tire a pet out with some good walk time.

“Vanessa has been walking my dog regularly for several weeks now and I couldn’t be happier with her help. She’s been very patient and loving with my dog, flexible on the schedule, and provides great walk reports and pictures. Thanks, Vanessa!”

About: I’m a reliable and attentive pet sitter. I provide the exercise, affection, and midday relief they deserve. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Currently I’m working part time only on the weekends, so I have all the time during the week to care for your pets! Mornings, afternoons, and nights. My pets live the best life in my home! In your home trust me I will care for them as my own. I will follow whatever instructions you give me.

“I have had my sweet little dog for over 15 years. No one has walked her except for family members and the people at doggy daycare. She is also deaf and partially blind. So I was extremely nervous to have somebody else walk her. But this was perfect! Leandrea did a great job with Jolie! She was on time, didn’t mind Jolie dragging her around the condo building several times, and give her kisses. It was wonderful to hear and to see Jolie happy and excited in all the pictures.”

“Mary has been so helpful and supportive the last two weeks. I had a couple of deaths in my family and Mary was able to walk my dog and check in on her when I had to fly home for a funeral. She’s so sweet and thoughtful and it was so great to know my pup was being so well taken care of! She’s the best ❤️”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. Recently, my husband and I, lost our beautiful friend, Freckles. She was 14.5 years old. I am retired, and want to help people who struggle with finding someone reliable to care for their furry friends. I've been there! I'm currently working 1 to 2 days per week, very part time hours. Would like to be with dogs occasionally, since my husband and I are not going to get another pet at this time in our lives. I do have a fenced in backyard, not sure if I will be doing daycare or overnights at my house right now. New to Rover, so want to start our with dog walking and dog house visits.

“Julie was great with my elderly dog! She was kind and personable and always cheerful! I appreciated her taking such good care of Rogue and walking her in treacherous conditions like ice and snow! I’d definitely recommend her and use her services again :)”

About: I work as a nurse - I love humans and dogs! You will find me in the woods hiking with my pups or getting our steps in throughout the neighborhood. Dog walking is my greatest stress relief! I am currently in limbo between jobs for the next month. I would love to get out and spend my days walking dogs while I had the opportunity. Open to anytime of the day. Leashed walks and play time in a fenced in yard. My goal is to keep your pet safe and well cared for at all times.

About: I’ve lived with cats and dogs of many different breeds, and loved them all. Let me help out with your pet and they’ll probably like me too! Currently I have sporadic trips planned until I start classes at the end of August, then my availability will greatly differ but I’m not sure of the exact hours. I can’t care for pets in my home due to one of my cats being very unfriendly, but I will take great care in your home if necessary!

“Angela took such good care of our boys! She was on time, a great communicator and sent awesome photos! Would highly recommend her for your pet’s care needs!”

About: Nothing probably sets me apart from other sitters. I always carry a mini journal and pen around with me to jot down notes or things I need to remember, especially if there are specific instructions, like dietary or playtime needs for pets. I usually am the one who takes my family dog for a walk every day since I'm the only one in my family who has the most amount of free time on their hands. If I ever dog sat for a friend's pet in my home, I usually don't really change my routine but add the necessary care requirements for both dogs. When I'm staying over at a friend's or family member's house while watching their pet, I still do a similar routine when I'm at home, but I stay on high alert and make sure I don't leave snacks or anything I bring anywhere the dog can reach.

“Brianna’s the best!”

“Alexis was very accommodating right from the beginning! Not only was she able to fit me in the same week while meeting my dog prior, but she made sure to let me know when she was arriving to my apartment along with sending a picture at the end. I would definitely recommend and plan to use her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Ashling! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, spent my teenage years as the go-to neighborhood babysitter and pet sitter, and today, I’m a proud pet parent to two wonderful Wheatens of my own. ​Because of my personal experience with dogs of all backgrounds, I understand that every animal is unique. My philosophy is to always meet animals where they are at—building trust at their pace while providing a safe, confident, and structured environment. I'm currently accepting weekday appointments for now and will accept some overnights and weekends. I have a flexible schedule at this point and will be able to care for pets multiple times throughout the day and night. I will treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect and try to follow the schedule and routine to make sure your pet is comfortable in their home while you're away. Their safety and comfort is my highest priority.

“Liz is the BEST!! Maggie is a very anxious dog, so usually it takes her awhile to warm up to people. Liz immediately recognized this and brought all the right treats to win over Maggie. She usually isn’t food motivated, but for Liz she is! Liz is very responsive and I’ve had no problem (or even worries) about a no show. The report cards I get of Maggie make me so happy and help get me through my day. If you need someone to take care of your dog, reach out to Liz!”

About: My unconditional love for all animals. Every cat or dog that I meet I treat and cherish as if they were my own fur baby. I do work a full time job, 8-4 Mon-Fri. However, I am looking to use some of my free time taking care of your fur baby! I do my best to maintain whatever routine you have with your fur baby. I am willing to go the extra mile to make your pup feel safe and comfortable while you are away.

About: My house has 2 cats and 1 little dog. They are all dog friendly for dog boarding. I have had a cat for over 10 years and I have dog sat for family friends for 7 years. I love all animals and lots of them. I love playing with dogs, and taking them for walks. I can drive and have my own car. I have dog sat for many of my co workers and they are all repeat customers. I dog sit them 3 times a year. I don’t do anything for holidays so I am available during the hard to book times. I don’t have many people on here so if you would like one of my references off this site just let me know. Otherwise if you have anymore questions just message me. I work full time in Brookfield and live in Milwaukee. I also do week stays over night at your house. I will try my best to make my schedule fit what your dogs/cats need. I love caring for your pets in your home because I want the time you are gone to be smooth and stress free for your pets. I will so anything you tell me that will help your dog be relaxed and calm when you are gone.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so I understand how stressful it can be to find someone to take care of your pets while you’re away or even just gone for the day at work. Our pets are the whole world to us so it’s important you find someone you trust. I hope that once you get to know me I can be that person for you! I have over 13 years experience as I have been around animals my whole life. I love learning their little personalities the things they love whether it’s going for a walk and they have a specific fire hydrant they always stop at or a specific toy at home they always love to play with. Currently I have a cat named Stella who has provided me lots of experience in anxious cats as well as in tricks on giving medication. I am currently a substitute teacher with the summer off so I can provide pop in visits throughout the week as well as the weekends! Safety of pets is my number one priority with your pets as well as my own. I will always care for your pet like they are my own when I am with them to ensure they have adequate care. I will get to know your pet and notice when things may seem off if they aren’t feeling well. I also maintain safety when walking with your pet and making sure to learn their temperament before walks as well.
