Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Golden Valley, Milwaukee, WI

“Michelle easily gets a five star review. I just moved to the area and was nervous about leaving my dog alone but Michelle has made the transition so easy. She is wonderful with my boy. She is excellent with communicating and sends the best updates. 10 times out of 10, I’m picking Michelle.”

“Amy did a great job for us! We will definitely use her again!”

Kristi R.

“If I could leave more than 5 stars I would. Kathy is super nice & easy to work with, from booking to the actual drop ins to retrieving the spare key post-trip. She goes above and beyond, and I know my little cat is in good hands whenever I'm gone.”

Morgan C.

“Kelsey responds quickly. She sends photos and clear information about her visit. My pets are all comfortable with her! She is flexible and able to accommodate specific requests or preferences easily!”

Becky W.

“Katelynn is the best. She is very dependable & very kind to my “rescue” cat who can be challenging. I had never had a cat before & her understanding of cats & kindness has been so helpful.”

About: Hi there! Winter/Spring 2026 - I am not currently accepting new clients. I’m the proud dog mom to a Siberian Husky named Meeka and a Golden Retriever named Remy. Just saying the word “walk” lights up their faces—and honestly, it’s the best therapy for both of us. I absolutely adore dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Recently, I introduced Meeka to a cat, and she was obsessed—I might just have to add a feline friend to the family! I believe every pet deserves to feel special, which is why I throw birthday parties for mine every year (that’s us in the profile pic!). It’s pure joy. I’d love the chance to care for your fur baby too—please feel free to reach out with any questions! Fall 2025 - I am currently not accepting new clients at this time. I am currently a graduate student at UW-Milwaukee so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to stop in randomly throughout the day, provide day time walks in the sunshine, and ample time for all the feedings and cuddles! While we have a partially fenced in yard, I always ensure your pets safety by taking them out on a leash for added peace of mind. I will abide by any restrictions you feel appropriately suits your pet, however our animals are allowed on our bed and furniture in our home.

About: During high school and throughout college, I worked as a self-employed child caregiver, offering extra services for in-home visits that included cleaning, cooking, pet care, and dog walking ! Since then, I have personally helped friends and family with pet sitting, general care, and walking. I have experience working with a wide variety of pets, including dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, rodents and small mammals, birds, smaller reptiles, fish (primarily betta and goldfish), and toads/frogs. I have a strong knowledge of dog and cat body language/general care—well enough to aid in basic training of commands such as sit, stay, lie down, heel, and drop it—and have experience in senior care, including medication administration, with an attention to detail focused on the comfort and safety of your pet. I currently work at the Humane Society Sun, Mon, Thurs, Fri with dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, and some wildlife (: I am available most days I do not work with proper notice. I do offer same-day dog walking; however, immediate service is not always possible, so please reach out as early as possible to ensure availability ! For in-home visits, I find it important to do an initial sweep upon arrival of all pet-accessible areas in the home, taking note of and minimizing potential hazards/removing safety risks in order to keep you informed and your pet out of harm’s way ! While with your pet, I will always keep them in sight (if not within reach) to catch any potential for damage to property or harm to your pet, reducing incidents and encouraging the trust of both you and your pet.

“Lexi was great! She was very prompt, treated our kitties as if they were her own and even brought one of her favorite cat toys along to get ours to play more which they did! I think we will be buying that cat toy. We will definitely want her to take care of them again when we go away next. It’s a huge relief to find someone to trust with our cats.”

About: Hi!! I’m a recent college graduate in the Milwaukee area, I love helping others and I also love pets!! I have had 2 of my own (golden doodle & a terrier mixed with Shitzu). I’m Looking forward to working with you! :) I’m currently working a hybrid remote job so I have a lot of free time on my hands throughout the day mostly. I will do my best to fit any needs into my week :) Safety is important! I would do periodic check ins with the dog, spend time playing, & keeping a secure environment and ensuring there are NO hazards!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and love them so much that I decided to work at a Dog and Cat daycare and boarding facility. I’ve been working there for 2 years and have worked with all breeds and ages varying from puppies to seniors and love comforting them and making them happy while also making sure their parents know they are in good hands! I’m currently working part-time and my availability is flexible. I’m willing to make adjustments as long as I am notified at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Depending on the typical routine of the pet, I will follow it as close as possible to make them feel as comfortable as I can. I will keep them busy by going on walks or by playing with them, or if they have lower energy I’ll just make sure to give them extra attention.

About: 👋🏼 Hello! My name is Krystal and I am a dog lover who has taken care of dogs for 25+ years. I have 2 male poodle mixes, Adobo and Charley.💙 They’re social boys who love company, but respect boundaries if their furry friends don’t want to play. I work from home and walk my dogs 2 times a day (or 1 long walk) and we also enjoy hiking or playing in our fenced-in backyard. Your furry friend will have activity, company, and love while under my care! ☺️ 👩🏻‍💻 Working from home full time gives me the flexibility to easily fit pet care into my day, allowing me to provide regular attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. Please feel free to send a message to check on my availability! 🐕‍🦺 I have a large fenced in yard and friendly dogs, Adobo and Charley, that can keep your furry friend company with play or lounging. I can crate if needed.

“Trustworthy, reliable, a true dog lover — those are just a few ways to describe Christina. She is a true gem! She was always on time and very respectful to our pup and our home. She played with our Corgi, gave lots of belly rubs and even took him on walks. I would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you for your kindness, Christina!”

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 9 and currently have my own dog. I pet sit for coworkers and friends when they go out of town. I've raised puppies as well as cared for senior dogs. I work from home 3 days a week. I am able to check in on or walk dogs with my little dog on my lunch break or after work. (My dog does not join on cat appointments, but she gets along with most dogs on walks. Dog walking appointments without my own dog are possible upon request.) I have experience with dog and cat behavior, including reactive dogs. While I would like to bring my own dog along on walks you can request me not to if that is what's best for your dog. My dog does come with me for cat appointments ever.

“Cindy is great with our dog that is very shy and likes to hide and has really bad separation anxiety. I always feel good when Cindy’s there to take care of them.”

About: Both of my parents are veterinarians, so I grew up helping out in their clinic. As a teenager I worked as a kennel staff/vet tech assistant and also grew up raising livestock. I am very comfortable with animals; my parents both work in Little Rock (should anything happen, knock on wood, a good vet is only a phone call away :-). I recently graduated from medical school and am an emergency medicine doctor, but I adore caring for Fido in my spare time. I also have rescue pets so I am familiar with the patience and level of care that our furry friends require on a daily basis. I would love to look after your pets!! I have a cat named Paisley who took some time to adapt after moving here from California. I understand the time commitment and patience needed for pets, especially when they are stressed and subjected to new people and environments. I’m pretty low key and love to just hang out with your pet at home. If available I will take them to a nearby park or on a long walk, but I primarily want to keep them as low stress as possible while you are away! As someone who used to work in a veterinary office I understand how important it is to develop a good trust level, and will demonstrate patience while getting to know your pal.

“Stephen and Amelie are the best! They take excellent care of our babies and our home when we’re away and make us feel completely comfortable when we need to travel without the pups. Our dogs love them too!”

About: I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, energy level, and comfort needs, especially for shy, anxious, or senior dogs. I focus on calm, structured walks, positive reinforcement, and safety rather than rushing or overstimulating pets. I’m gentle, reliable, and treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel secure, cared for, and happy on every walk. Since I run my own business, I can adjust my schedule to give pets all the attention they need. I love spending time walking, playing, and caring for them, keeping their space tidy and cozy, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved every day. I care for pets with attention, safety, and love, both in my home and in my client’s home. I have one dog, two cats, and a tortoise, so I’m experienced managing different needs. My home is pet-friendly with plenty of space to play and a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. I live near a park and a dog park for walks and socialization. I’m especially careful with special needs, like my cats’ prescription diets, and always make sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for.

“McKenna helped us out with a last minute request. She is reliable and Hazel seemed to have a great time with her!”

“Holly has been amazing with my boy Teddy. Definitely recommend.”

About: I have lived with and taken care of dogs and cats for over 15 years now and I care for pets like family! I’m responsible, reliable, and prioritize pets’ safety and well being. Exercise and/or socialization is important for pets’ happiness and I look forward to taking part in their health! As a medical student, I keep a structured schedule and try to plan things ahead of time. I am available before and after classes. Whether it is a morning walk or evening drop-in, I’ll be there on time and fully present. I treat your home the way I would hope someone treat mine: with care and respect. I will follow all instructions closely and clean up after myself (and your pet). I would love to send photo updates of your pet!
