“We were very happy with the communication and attention to detail while watching bella. Not only did she take great care of our dog but also our house 🧡 we would definitely recommend her and use her in the future”


“Did a great job managing our house full of animals while we were away for two weeks. We came home to happy healthy animals, and I could tell they'd been well-cared for!”



“We can’t say enough good things here. We had a really bad boarding experience and needed to do something different. We were a little hesitant with having someone in our home but Blythe was awesome. We have a large dog who is pretty needy and a little old man. She took pics, gave us updates and did everything we asked and our home looked the exact way we left it. Would highly recommend!”


“Maiah is great and my dogs love her! Rebooking her again!”


“Lynette was responsible, reliable, and so sweet to our pups. She made sure they had food and plenty of attention. She’s sent great photos and we would absolutely trust her with our dogs again!”


“Adrienne was absolutely amazing. I have never had someone dog sit in my home before as I was never comfortable with it, but Adrienne I could tell was a trustworthy person from the start. I have one extremely hyper puppy and a senior who barely leaves her bed, and she did an amazing job watching both. She went above and beyond what I could of asked of her, and we will most definitely use her in the future.”


“We were pleased with Caroline😊 She was attentive to Petey and helped him adjust to a new person caring for him. Petey is a happy dog and Caroline was great at getting him to play and took him for several walks! We felt she kept us posted with notes and pictures. We honestly can’t think of anything she could improve-Our Petey was well cared for and given plenty of attention😊”


“Berenice was an excellent sitter. My first time working with her was for an extended period of time and I came home to a clean house and happy, healthy dogs. My two pitties are not trained well on a leash and she did well walking them despite that. She left me at ease while on my trip with daily communication and pictures. We already have our next stay booked with her! Thank you Berenice! 💕”


“Jessica was great! Our emotionally needy animals soaked up her attention and loved on her right back. Super great communication throughout the stay, and lots of great photos. Thanks again, Jessica!”


“Joanne and Becky were great for watching shlomo and we highly recommend! He was able to keep his usual routine while she worked from home and we got tons of communication! Shlomo seemed very happy and we would absolutely book again”


“Devon did an awesome jobs taking care of our pups! She cared about them like they were her own and made sure they were comfortable the whole time we were away.”


“Courtney was amazing with Blaze. I could tell by her updates that she had him figured out very quickly. He was clearly content when we got home. We will be able to travel this summer knowing our boy is in good hands.”


“Emily is incredible with my senior dog, Bernie. She's gentle and patient and is understanding of the unfortunate accident or 2 requiring clean up on some visits. I have peace of mind knowing she will be there for Bernie!”



“Jessica was great! She was very friendly at our meet and greet and took good care of our dog Molly. She sent pictures and communicated while we were gone. Will definitely book with her again!”


“Alexy and Christian watched my two dogs and cat at my place while I was out of the country. They were very patient with my 14 year old Chihuahua and labradoodle cattle dog mix. Both dogs can take a little while to warm up to others, they understood this and took great care of them. Lots of pictures, videos and communication throughout. Also left the house nice and clean.”


About: I’ve raised and trained pit bulls from puppies to 8 years old, worked with skill training for German Shepards, and helped my sister foster a Dachshund that had a senior owner who couldn’t walk him for over 2 years. I’m addition, I’ve watched many friends pets in their home for multiple nights. I’m a world traveler and digital nomad. I work part time and am able to spend an ample amount of time with your pet! It is like pet therapy to me and I enjoy bringing pets with me everywhere I go or coming to them and spending time in their safe space. After just recently taking care of my friends dog for Thanksgiving in Albuquerque, New Mexico for a week, I decided that I wanted more pets in my life! I was able to take Ayani (3 year old male dog-not aware of breed) for his morning and evening walks, in addition to many dog park visits. I am an avid hiker and love to bring dogs along with me, both on and off the leash depending on the owners guidelines.

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and currently have 2 of my own: Roger (a 4 year old greyhound) and Murphy (a 4 year old Shi-tzu) both rescues. I also am a “cat-lady” convert after living with my partner’s cat for over a year now 😊 For my day job, I’m a speech therapist working with preschoolers, so you can trust me when I say I have lots of patience and experience with a variety of different personalities 😆😉. I have always loved animals and would treat your 4-legged loved one with the same care and attention I do my own. *please feel free to contact me about services that may not align with my posted availability! I may be able to make an exception :) I work full time in Milwaukee Public Schools so I am available evenings and weekends for care. In the summer I work part time for the district just Tuesday- Thursday from 7:30 am to 1pm, so evenings and weekends are open :) I am able to do walk and home visits in your home if you are in or near the Bayview Neighborhood of Milwaukee which is where I live as well :)

“Anna was a great pet sitter. She took excellent care of my baby Bonnie while I was away. My vacation was very relaxed because Anna took such good care of her and sent me daily pics and updates.”
