“Kailey is amazing! She leaves great notes on her visit and amazing pictures. I am soo grateful for her and she has my 100% recommendation!! My pup Legs is my everything and I feel great knowing he is in her care.”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable pet sitter with a true love for animals. I currently have a 6 year old Maltipoo and a cat, and I grew up with two Yorkies, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also worked in a veterinary clinic, which gave me experience with animal care and safety. I treat every pet like my own and can provide dog-sitting references upon request! I currently am very flexible and have an open schedule! I can work around schedules if need be. I’m used to taking my dog out early in the mornings. I care for pets by meeting their needs that they need. I can crate them if needed and have a clean and safe house. To make your fur babies comfortable.
“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've lived and taken care of different types of animals like dogs, cats, and small animals all different sizes as well. I've also taken care of puppies and kittens too and have experience with bottle feeding and giving medicine if needed. Im currently working full time during the week at home, and I could definitely hang out with your cats or dogs when u need me too. Its me and my boyfriend at the apartment so there will always be someone home to take care of the pets. We got 3 of our own adult cats. I have 2 cats and I live in a pet friendly apartment I also have lots of parks and trails to take your pet too.
About: I love dogs and have been caring for them since I was 12. With me, your pet will have the “Cool Aunt” as their sitter (with a couple dad jokes slid in as well). We’ll be the Paw-fect match! I’m currently working full time, so on top of meeting all of your pet’s needs, we’ll be taking advantage of long walks in good weather or doing fun activities such playing hide in seek or watching a relatable film for movie night (Beethoven is my favorite!) My services of care will depend on your instructions and boundaries for your fur baby along with your home. I take pride in doing what I do best whilst making sure every expectation you have of me is met.
About: My children and I love dogs! I have been around dogs my entire life. I had a dog growing up who I adored. She was part of our family so I do understand how important it is that you feel comfortable with your dog sitter while you are away. I live in West Allis in a 3 bedroom townhouse with a decent size unfenced front yard and several parks in the neighborhood that we go to often. I would love to provide a caring environment for your dog. I offer overnight stays in my home, drop in visits, and dog walking services. I am more than happy to send daily photos, text updates, or phone calls regarding your furry family member's care. Look forward to meeting you and your pet.
About: As a dog lover my whole life, I wasn't able to get one of my own until a year and a half ago. Having our golden retriever Tommy has completely changed my life for the better! I absolutely love dogs of all kinds and enjoy being outdoors and playing with them. I work full time remotely, so I am extremely available and flexible to your schedule. I can accommodate any needs and have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and everywhere in between. Tommy has been professionally trained and gets along great with other dogs. We are able to keep dogs in our apartment if needed, and have lots of parks and sidewalks near by for exercise. I currently work from home full time, so I am very flexible for your pets needs. I currently keep our golden retriever active (as he very much needs it!) and would love to add another dog to the bunch if needed. I live in an apartment but have lots of access to local parks and walking trails. I am available for drop-in visits and walks as well.
“We couldn't be more grateful for Justine! Rumi completely falls in love with her every time she walks through the door. She has such an incredible connection with animals, and we’ve trusted her 100% with both walks and overnight stays since day one. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our boy!”
“Juliana was very prompt. She was so good with the dogs. I really appreciate her. She said that she had boxers when she was little. They seem to really love her and enjoy the walk and back tired. I will definitely be hiring her again thanks Juliana. We really appreciate you.🐾🐾”
About: No kids or pets of my own and a big Jeep means my outdoorsy lifestyle is open and flexible for your fur babies. I'm comfortable with dogs from all walks of life. I have confident experience with reactive dogs and big breeds especially. I'm a part time barista, working mostly evenings, so morning and mid-day walks work best for me. I am available for night walks after work as well, if that works for your schedule. Weekend boarding is best with advance notice, as I occasionally pick up Friday and Saturday shifts at the coffee shop. I live on the second floor with access to a fenced in backyard. Hardwood floors in home. No kids or other pets of my own. I do have houseplants if your dog is sensitive to soils, fungus, or has a history of plant eating. Crating is an option I'm comfortable with if that's what helps your furry friend feel safe, though my ideal set up is to share my whole space and enriching lifestyle with your pup, or to visit them in their home where they're already comfortable. I'm mobile with the Jeep as well, so we don't have to stick to my neighborhood if your dog is reactive and needs some extra space.
“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!”
“Very sweet to the puppy and takes her on good length walk. Also takes her out back to potty if she doesn’t go on the walk (which she never likes doing). Also is great about coordinating times.”
About: I work primarily from home, outside of home for just a few hours a couple days a week. I love, love love dogs! have two fur babies right now, 11 years old and quite friendly. They have a mild temperament and enjoy playing with other dogs although they have slowed down in the past few years. I've had dogs my entire life with my first dog was given to me by my father when I was 3 years old and I can't recall a long span of time where I didn't have a dog. That is except a 4 year period after my fur baby Misha passed away 20 years ago. I play with my girls daily, give them massages, brush them and just make sure they get enough attention throughout the day. We go for short walks also...they are small so they don't make it too far without tiring out. They do enjoy the dog parks occasionally.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and one of my favorite activities was walking with them. It’s always great to get fresh air and it helps our furry friends blow off some steam. I would be a great walker for your fur baby because I love animals, reliable, and ready to walk in any weather. I’m currently working part time and can put walking in my schedule on my free time. I’m working on making extra money for school. I try to take care of pets however the owner would like. I understood keeping them on a schedule or giving more attention is needed.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
