Pet Sitting Harambee

“Ilene was a great sitter for our two-year-old kitty! She was very communicative, flexible and laid-back. She was able to come for a meet-and-greet ahead of time and amended the drop-in time, per my request, partway through our trip. We really appreciated her detailed write-ups and quality photos. Thank you, Ilene!”

About: I have had experience caring for many different kinds of animals throughout my life, such as dogs, horses, guinea pigs, and fish. I am comfortable and confident with walking, feeding, bathing, etc. I am a full-time grad student, and I also work a part-time job. My schedule is a little different each weekday, sometimes with breaks in the middle of the day. I am available all day on the weekends. I do not currently care for any pets in my home. I am not currently accepting jobs that require a pet to stay in my home.

“Alhana was awesome! I would certainly boon with her again ☺️”

“Carrianne was fantastic! She was very thorough in her daily updates on our cat Ivy. Ivy got along very well with her and we will definitely rebook Carrianne in the future!”

About: Hi my name is Lucy and I am 26 years old. I have been doing freelance pet care for almost 10 years and have experience with all sorts of animals. I was active with a dog rescue for many years and through that have interacted with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments, and medical conditions. I was also a foster and adopted out a handful of animals. I have experience walking dogs, administering medications, and dealing with all types of quirks and personalities. Animals are a passion of mine and I always strive to take care of your pet as if they were my own. I spend a lot of time with my two cats and taking care of them ever day. I also try to find time to interact with as many dogs as possible. When I am in an animals environment, I always make sure to respect their space and give them time to warm up to me being in their space. I will also always respect the clients home and do what I can for them and their pet. I will make sure to follow the instructions that I am given by the pet parent to a tee.

“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!”

Erin C.

“Easy to communicate with and my kitties all seemed to enjoy her visits! They are normally shy and take a while to warm up but they all came out to play on the first visit!”

Amy H.

“This is our third or fourth time having Abigail do drop-in visits with our cats. Super reliable, very communicative and always willing to follow through with requests. We look forward to having her back!”

About: What sets me apart is both my personal and professional experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently work at Dogtopia, where I care for and supervise dogs daily. This has helped me become patient, attentive, and comfortable working with different temperaments and energy levels. I also have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. My senior dog, Otis, had arthritis, so I learned how important patience, comfort, and attentive care are for older pets. I also helped raise and train our pug puppy with basic training, routines, and socialization. Because of these experiences, I understand that every pet has different needs depending on their age and personality, and I always try to make pets feel safe, active, and cared for like they’re my own.⭐️😊 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work at Dogtopia, where I help maintain a safe, clean, and fun environment for dogs of all sizes and personalities. 🐾 My job has taught me the importance of paying close attention to dogs’ behavior, safety, and overall well-being throughout the day. When I’m home, I also spend a lot of time caring for my own dog. I enjoy taking him on long walks by the lake, staying active with him through runs and playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care every day.🦮🏃‍♀️❤️ When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I make sure the environment is clean and secure by checking doors, gates, food, and anything that could be unsafe or easily gotten into by curious pets.🤗 I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and individual needs to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while their owner is away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I always try to make pets feel safe, cared for, and at home.

About: I have taken care of dogs and was a dog walker around the neighborhood since I was 10. Neighbors and loved ones have relied on me to take care of their beloved pets. I have grown up with many dogs myself and I love to spend time with dogs and help them stay happy. I currently work a full time job, 9-5. I work in downtown Milwaukee and am more than willing to come let out any pets during lunch. I am available to stay at your house during the week or weekends. Whatever is required, I would certainly make it work! I would follow every precaution necessary for your pets. I have always adhered to the owners wishing in pet care. My family has a dog with some odd tendencies himself so I am ready for anything!

About: I trained my own dog growing up and bought a beagle at the age of 22. At 30 I rescued another hound who loves his life. We take two walks daily and spend a few days a week at the dog park. Your dog will receive the same treatment! Morning walk. Lunch date in the yard. Afternoon walk or dog park. Potty breaks every two hours unless it's a Wednesday when I’m in the office. I live in a condo so I can't board right now. I do continue to offer walks, drop ins, and can dog sit at your home!

About: I know that your pet is your family member, and I will be sure to give them the love and care that I would to my own! I'm currently in between jobs here in Milwaukee, so I will be able to make your pet's wellbeing my priority while I care for them! I will be sure to listen to your dogs needs, always follow your requests for your dog, and be sure to keep in touch with you if problems or something unexpected arises.

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.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life alongside some smaller furry friends. I am well versed in giving medication to animals orally and I am here to provide the best care you your furry loved ones. I currently have pretty much open availability to care for your pets whenever they may need it. Any day of the week and any time. I am very good at following instructions to a tee to make sure you animals stay happy and healthy and get exactly what they need. I will provide whatever they need on the schedule that they need.

“Madeline did a great job checking in on my cat. He is very anxious but she followed instructions perfectly and made sure he was fed. I would trust her with his care anytime!”
