Met with Maggie for a meet and greet and a walk. Maggie was very responsive and prompt. She was communicative in the app, providing pictures and updates on their potty breaks as well. I’m looking forward to working with her again.

About: I’ve had a dog since before I can even remember. My first dog was a lab. He was the best dog ever. I took him on walks and did all the chores for him when I was younger. I now have three dogs. One is a pitbull, one is a Shih Tzu, and one is a Yorkie. I love playing with them outside taking them on walks, especially love when my pitbull comes on camping trips with my family overall I am super good with dogs and I also extremely love cats too. I love all types of animals. I’m currently working part-time mornings so I’d be able to care for your pets either after work when I do work or on my days off in the morning for sure! I typically work 2 to 3 days a week If you’re at work and just need somebody to come and give your pup, some love or take them out to use the bathroom or get a little exercise. I’m 100% the person for you and your dog!!

About: Hi there! I am a former pet groomer with lifelong experience loving animals of all kinds! I have worked with senior animals, puppies, cats, and combative animals with professionalism and levity for 5+ years. I am super excited to get to know you and your animals. I am currently working summer camp jobs, and therefore have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am very excited to get to spend plenty of time with animals while I navigate a new move to the area! My previous job as a pet grooming assistant as well as babysitting animals in the past has given me a lot of experience in keeping animals safe and comfortable. I work extremely hard to understand animal behavior and body language in order to respect animals boundaries. I also prioritize safety when caring for other people’s animals because that is someone’s baby! It is important to me to do a job well, and that includes maintaining safety and care for all animals.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and stay with their pets while they’re away. I especially enjoy longer stays because it gives dogs time to feel comfortable and settled, and I love being able to build that trust with them. One of my favorite parts is taking dogs on enriching walks, keeping them active, engaged, and happy, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to keep up with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship, especially during longer stays when consistency and routine are important. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by sticking closely to their normal routine and giving them lots of attention and care. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of clients’ homes, and committed to providing reliable communication and updates throughout each stay.

About: I grew up with two cats and two dogs, so I’ve been around pets for most of my life! I got my own dog five years ago, and I have been taking care of her ever since. I love any and all types of pets, and I have am flexible with times and can accommodate mamy different schedules. Along with taking care of my own dog, I am available throughout the day to stop in and check on/walk dogs. I am also available any day to stay over as a sitter. My one and only priority would be taking care of your pet. I would never be intrusive or inappropriate in your home. I would treat it with the respect I would want from a sitter.

About: Hi! I’m a local college student, who is also a pet mom, looking to ease other pet parents worry about their fur babies being taken care of. I would care for your pet with as much love and care as I would my own. I have had my own pet alone for a couple of years but I have grown up with pets all my life. I am currently getting my certification in pet CPR. I’m a college student with a part-time job! So I will be able to stop in between classes and my work schedule! Just like I take care of my own pet daily I hope to help you do the same! I will, at the best of my ability, make sure that all animals are comfortable and safe in my care. I make sure to follow my pets lead in terms of what they want and what they need from humans. They are able to initiate contact in their terms, which is the first step of safety and trust with new people.

About: Hi! I’m Eva, and I’m a student at UWM studying biology on the pre-veterinary track. I volunteer at the humane society weekly and am just the biggest animal lover- cats AND dogs :) I currently work part time and my hours fluctuate a lot - sometimes I open from 5am until the afternoon and sometimes I close until 6pm- so flexibility is key! I try to keep my dog active and take her on a 1-2 mile walk every day. We go to parks, hiking trails, or just areas around my neighborhood so she gets different scenery and smells. She has a set “dinner” and “breakfast” time every day and I am always sure to keep her full and happy.

About: I have over 4 years of professional pet and house-sitting experience through the Trusted House sitters service , along with more than 10 years of caring for my own cats and dogs. I take this responsibility seriously and hold myself to a high standard of professionalism, communication, and compassionate care. I understand that leaving your pets and home with someone new can feel stressful. My goal is to help you feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I’m always happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can stay connected and know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Outside of pet and house sitting, I’m an artist with a master’s degree in Art Therapy and Counseling. I’m an alumnus of the Meow Wolf immersive art exhibit in Santa Fe, NM, and a former participant in the AmeriCorps Public Allies program. For the past four years, I’ve worked professionally as a Life Enrichment Specialist in skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities, supporting individuals with patience, empathy, and attentive care. I recently moved back to Milwaukee, WI after living in Portland, OR, and I’m currently open to accepting bookings as I settle back into the city. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing reliable, thoughtful care while you’re away. Pet care is currently a central part of my daily and weekly routine. Because I have open availability, I’m able to plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, including feeding times, walks, play, medications, and companionship. I’m home for most of the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention rather than rushing visits in between other commitments. I prioritize maintaining routines similar to what pets are used to and can be flexible with timing if needed. This also allows me to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners feel informed and at ease while they’re away. I recognize that entrusting both your home and pets to a new person can induce significant stress, impacting your daily routine, vacations, and plans. My approach revolves around not only tending to your pets' well-being but also ensuring a seamless and worry-free experience for you. As mentioned earlier, my Master's degree in Counseling has instilled a profound dedication to safeguarding client security and fostering trust. I take pleasure in offering regular updates, videos, and photos of your pets during your absence. I exhibit a high level of professionalism in ensuring the safety and security of both your pets and home while you're away.
