Pet Sitting Downer Woods

“Ilene was great! We have a foster cat in quarantine with an infection and wanted someone to spend time with him while we were out of town. Ilene was able to give him some quality time and attention, he was a happy camper. The updates we got were good and the photos were perfect. Thank you!”

About: I grew up in a family that raised guide dogs for the blind, which gave me experience caring for dogs of all types of personalities. I've also looked after pets for friends and family and I always enjoy spending time with animals. I'm home from college for the summer and have a very flexible schedule with availability most days. Aside from a daily gym visit, I have plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they deserve. I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, and plenty of attention. I'll also follow any specific care instructions and provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Excellent job taking care of my two pups”

“Jessica is amazing. She is very conscientious and caring. She has taken great care of my senior cat, Rosie. I’ve already booked her again. Her communication is timely and she is very prompt. So happy to have her. Real peace of mind when traveling knowing Jessica is caring for Rosie.”

“Melissa was very attentive to my cats while I was away for a week! She administered their medication, played with them, and made sure they were happy as can be :) Highly recommend!”

“Travis will treat your fur babies as if they were his own! This was our first experience using Rover & we were very satisfied. I would wholeheartedly recommend Travis to take care of your pets while you are away. We had 100% peace of mind & no worries or concerns. We will use him again!!!”

“Carrianne was great and helped me feel more comfortable being away from my babies for a week! My cat loved her and immediately wanted to be friends. I loved the pictures she took and the descriptions of how the visits went. I’m very thankful to have had such a great sitter for my first Rover experience :)”

About: Hi! I'm Kalina. I've been around animals my whole life, and they've always been a huge part of it. I've worked with rescue dogs and have experience with pets of all different personalities, so I know that every animal deserves patience, understanding, and care that's tailored to them. I have two cats and a deaf dog of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. My deaf pup has taught me a lot about paying attention to body language, being patient, and finding what works best for each individual pet. Whether your pet is full of energy and loves to play or would rather curl up on the couch, I'm happy to follow their routine and make sure they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll treat them like they're my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I know our pets are family, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until you're back home. Care for your pet fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. That allows me to be available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet's needs. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or spending extra time keeping your fur baby company, I'm happy to work around their routine to help them feel comfortable, happy and cared for. When I'm caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'll carefully follow any instructions you leave regarding feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and any other special needs or preferences. I've been around animals my whole life and have experience working with rescue dogs. My mom also fosters dogs, and I've cared for many of her foster dogs while she's away. That experience has taught me to be patient with dogs who may be shy, anxious, or still adjusting to new people and environments. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they're my own. I'll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident they're happy and well cared for while you're away.

“I can’t say it enough! Carole is an absolute dream! Miss Oaklei hurt her leg and she was so sensitive to the issue. She even got so excited when Oaklei was starting to show signs of improvement! She is AMAZING!!”

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.

“Best sitter ever! Very grateful for all of Hope’s help feeding & playing with my kitty while I’m away. Hope leaves very detailed notes and many photos, which is very helpful knowing my pet is in good hands. My kitty loves Hope and will cuddle with her when she comes to visit, which is a sign of a loving sitter. 1000% rebooking & recommend Hope to all!!”

“Emily was quick and responsive to a last minute drop in request. She provided a thorough note after her visit letting me know how they spent their time and my pup’s behavior and mood. I appreciate her being so responsive and thorough!”

“Jodi is dependable and loves our pups like we do. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have taken care of many animals for 10+ years. I’ve raised 5 dogs, 3 birds and even a cat. I make sure they all get the love and attention that every pet needs and I will with yours too! I can’t wait to spoil them. I attend college at UWM and currently have classes monday and wednesday! I get out of my classes at 2 pm both days so it shouldn’t be a worry! I will give attention, love and care to any pet. I will gladly play with them, take them on walks, provide them with food and even take them outside. I treat every pet as I would want to be treated as one. (Wouldn’t that be awesome)

About: My sister and I grew up playing and helping our older neighbors in the area walk and take care of their dogs. My family has had cats my whole life that I’ve had experience taking care of. In high school I’d house/pet sit friends & family friends’ dogs & cats while they were on vacation. A recent graduate of UWMilwaukee with an open schedule! Looking to fill that time taking care of, spending time with, and getting to know your pets! I love the outdoors and I can take your dogs on lots of walks based on their needs! I always check if doors are locked before I leave/sleep & make sure to put away anything that pets can get into if they are left to roam. I stay clean so I make sure to clean any mess I or the pets create. I can also crate your pets if needed.

“Rachel did an excellent job watching my cats. She showed up on schedule and provided thorough daily updates and pics. I would strongly recommend her.”

About: I don't actually call myself that, that's what my friends say I am. I've literally never met a dog I didn't get on famously with. I respect the fact that they are individuals with their own needs. I don't mean to sound too self assured with the title, but I earned it from friends. Whether it's running on the Lake Michigan shore or just finding a nice sunny spot to sit for a while, your pup is going to have a fulfilling day. I have huge flexibility so no worries! A last minute trip or planned weeks in advance, we can work something out. I'm here for you! Even same day! I strive for communication as much as possible between animal and human. If they're not feeling like socializing, I don't force anything. Everyone has different needs. My experience in a dog daycare really helped me read and understand dog body language to head off any issues that may arise when you're watching 12 dogs.
