About: I’ve been looking after fluffy frens of all shapes and sizes from a young age. My time doing a full house/dog sitting gig was for my grandparents and their French bulldog, Sugar (miss you, Sugs!). Since then I have been the go-to for my friends and family for taking care of their for legged family. I make sure your fury family gets the love and care they need, whether you just have one smol dog or a pack of greyhounds. I currently had a stretch of rough health luck, but my ails are your pups gain! I’m currently on the mend, and it’s going well, but between jobs, so my schedule is wide open. I’ll have the time to give your pups the TLC they deserve! Currently unavailable to board pets at my house, but I will make sure to treat all pets in a safe and caring way. I’ll treat them like a newborn baby, because hey, in a way they are!
“Emily did a great job watching my pups, and chickens. Easy and quick communication, she took the pups on some adventures as well. Highly recommend her and would use her again.”


About: I’m the designated dog walker for family and friends because I love going on walks, and dogs love coming with me! I grew up with a dog but only have two cats of my own— so I miss having that four-legged friend to go with me! I’d love to take your dog out for a walk/run, or just let them stretch their legs. Cat owners, I’m happy to give your kitties as much or as little space as they need while making sure they feel the love :) I don’t work Fridays or Saturdays, so I am free to help anytime then! Definitely looking to fill my Fridays up with some time outside, and I’d love to take your dog with me - or check in on your cat! I usually walk my parent’s and brother’s dogs (about 80 lbs each) so I know how to handle bigger dogs on leashes who tend to stray from the sidewalk. I can clean up after them, feed them, and give them all the pets! For my cats at home, I love to play with strings or catnip - and can cater to their personality as need be.
“Ivy was simply the best! Our house was absolutely spotless when we returned and our doggos were absoutely thrilled with their newfound friend. Ivy was really easy to work with, communicative before and during our stay, and sent us photos and updates for the week we were gone. Would absolutely recommend!!!”

“Beth is a Godsend! She stayed at our home for five days and took exceptional care of our many animals: our dog, cats, rabbits, Guinea pig and fish. We came back to a tidy house and relaxed animals. She took our dog on two mile walks and sent photos and updates regularly. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She is kind and considerate. We highly recommend Beth!”

About: Having pets all my life has given me pet care knowledge and ability to care for pets of all ages and abilities. I have had cats, dogs, bunnies and fish (currently a single cat household) throughout the years. While in college I worked as a Vet Tech and did pet sitting for clients of the vet clinic. Your pets will be loved and cherished in your home or in mine. I provide all levels of service from dog walking, drop-in daily visits, boarding or medical care visits. Currently working full-time as a pet sitter/dog walker. Available all day for all levels of service from daily walks, drop-in and medical care visits and boarding. My home is a smoke-free, fenced in yard, single cat household in the Milwaukee/Wauwatosa area. Willing to travel to provide boarding services in your home if needed. Any location in the Milwaukee area and within 30 miles.

“This was the first time that we used a pet sitting service and we couldn’t have been happier. Kelsey took wonderful care of our chihuahua and elderly cat, who both can be difficult. Every day we got updates and pictures that made it possible to relax and enjoy ourselves. Kelsey was so responsive to us both before our trip and during it. If you are looking for top notch care, Kelsey is it!!”

“Stephen and Amelie provided exemplary care for our dogs, Cameron and Colby. Their kindness, coupled with their commitment to regular exercise and clear communication, put us completely at ease. They frequently updated us with photos and videos, and their prompt responses to our questions were much appreciated. In addition to taking great care of our dogs, they kept our house in perfect condition. We wholeheartedly recommend Stephen and Amelie to anyone needing reliable and loving pet sitters. We can't thank them enough for their top-notch service!”

“Keisha was a Godsend, one of our cat's requires daily meds, which he hates taking, and she made sure he got them with understanding and positivity, even when personally tested knowing the need that he received them.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Maiah and would absolutely recommend her. Our beagle can be a bit high-maintenance, but Maiah was so great with her. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in trustworthy, kind, and capable hands. Maiah was also an excellent communicator--we received regular updates, photos, and quick responses, which made it easy to relax while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”

“I am so thankful for Giovanni! I was new to the Rover App and honestly didn’t expect to find someone who would be willing to take care of two nine week old energetic puppies that were not even potty trained. Giovanni agreed to puppy sit in my home for three days! He was extremely patient, gentle, and kind with Cedar and Ivy. From day one I was confident that Gio would care for the puppies the same way I do. He was communicative with me regarding his arrival time and during the day he provided me with an update on the puppies. It was a pleasure getting to know him. My only regret is that I didn’t get a picture of Gio with the puppies! Next time, Gio! 😊”

“Lexi was great with my particular and somewhat shy senior dog. We planned drop-ins prior to the full weekend, which worked great for Lexi and my Coco to get to know each other a little. Lexi is very responsive and gave updates. I will feel more comfortable taking trips and time away with Lexi caring for my girl!”

“Alex is great with animals, respectful, kind, caring and compassionate. She is great with communication and made me feel like my pets were being well cared for. Highly recommend!”


“Angela did a great job making my dog feel comfortable while I was not home, My little dog is very afraid of storms and Angela was great at staying with her and making her feel as comfortable as possible during the storms. She communicated with me to let me know Zara was doing well. I would defiantly use her again to take care of my dog”

About: After graduating from Harvard, I moved from the Northeast to Wisconsin to train for speed skating. I grew up as a critter kid: my dad was a veterinarian and my mom worked in science museums, so I was raised around all sorts of animals, from birds, axolotls, and geckos to furry dog and cat companions. Since my move, I have been "dog-lonely" and am looking to show your animals some love. My family has always had huskies, so I am comfortable around big, goofy, energetic, and sometimes stubborn dogs. I love taking dogs for walks, but even more so, running with them if they are able. As a professional photographer, I also offer pet photography so you can keep permanent memories of your scaley, feathered, and furry family members. I am a speed skater, so my days consist of morning and evening workouts. I'm available during the day (10am-3pm) and overnight (after 7pm) to take care of your pets. I will always ask for a meet and greet before caring for your pets. My pet care will occur in your home and neighborhood. For walks, I will only take one household's dogs for a walk at a time. I can follow detailed instructions to a T and will maintain your animal's routines while you're away. I can be counted on in an emergency and know what a vet emergency looks like, and you can expect clear and timely communication from me around the care and health of your animals.
“Emily was prompt, respectful, and communicative. She sent pictures and updates and my dog seemed very comfortable and calm when I returned. I highly recommend Emily and will happily book her again in the future if I need a dog sitter!”

About: I have had dogs my whole childhood, and been around dogs since I could remember. I understand that every pet has unique needs and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I had a miniature dachshund growing up- so bonus points for a weenie! 🌭 I’m currently working part-time this summer so I have a lot of time to care for your pets. My schedule is kinda random as I am in healthcare currently. I either work from 7-1pm or 1-8pm. Fridays I have mornings available until 12pm, and Saturday evenings, free Sundays. I have two Maine Coon cats at my home currently. They are very friendly but a little skiddish. We have a litter robot at our home, and they are very spoiled & loved!
“Megan was great! Very friendly, diligent, and provided frequent updates & photos while taking care of our pitbull Cash, we’ll definitely utilize her again for future dog sitting needs!”

Katie was wonderful with our little puppy. We felt very comfortable having her watch our little one for a few days. She arrived on time, shared updates and photographs with us, and genuinely seemed to enjoy playing with our puppy. She even washed her bedding and ran the dishwasher which was very welcome since we returning from a trip. We would definitely use Katie again.
Angela did a great job making my dog feel comfortable while I was not home, My little dog is very afraid of storms and Angela was great at staying with her and making her feel as comfortable as possible during the storms. She communicated with me to let me know Zara was doing well. I would defiantly use her again to take care of my dog

Ilya did a wonderful job watching my pup Val and cat Roara while I was on vacation! Provided updates each day and was patient with my pup who can sometimes take a while to warm up to people! She was Ilya's biggest fan in no time, lots of play and belly rubs! I would highly recommend!

Esterah was so great with our pets during the house sitting. Our dog is very nervous and she was patient with him when she first arrived. We got lots up updates. She asked questions during the meet and greet and the house sitting which was much appreciated. We came home to a clean house and happy pets!

Hands down best dog sitter and will use her services again. Very friendly, loves dogs, good communicator, detail oriented. I get very anxious leaving my anxious dog who can be quite a bit to handle with all his quirks, but was not worried leaving him with Margit. She is laid back and easy to work with yet professional and clearly has experience with dogs. Really appreciate her and how well she cared for our dog with separation anxiety.
