“A true cat sitter and full emotional support sitter for our furry family in Wisconsin. We love Lexi and highly recommend her for anyone who has high maintenance cats or special instructions. Thank you Lexi!”

About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by family dogs (mainly the bigger breeds). I got my first dog on my own almost 5 years ago and my 2nd last year. I have seen and cared for dogs in all stages. I do work full time with a flexible hourly schedule and can help with care as needed. Currently I work 9-5 and I walk my boys every night and can make most scheduling needs work! I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs myself. While I’m home the dogs can all be interactive together in and outside, while also being walked. While away from home and for sleeping dogs will be crated for safety purposes (never longer than 8 hrs for work)
About: PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE ME IF YOU HAVE PENDING REQUESTS TO OTHER SITTERS. Please understand that when you send me a request, I have to turn down other potential clients while I wait for you to confirm. Thanks in advance for being a considerate neighbor and human. I had dogs all through childhood and college, and miss having a four-legged friend around! Sadly, my own work travel schedule prevents me from having a doggo of my own right now, so I thought that it would be a good compromise to lend a hand to other frequent flyers who love their pup too much to put them in the kennel. Rest assured that your dog will not get just a 15-minute lap around the block to pee, I'll take him or her to the dog park, on a hike, or if your pup is more low-key, I'll totally snuggle on the couch. My pet ownership experience is mostly with big dogs (sheperds), so that's definitely my soft spot, but I've taken care of all breeds and sizes through volunteering as a foster with a rescue group in my former home of Washington, DC. I have a reliable car, so it's easy for me to get to your place to check in a couple of times a day. I work from home, so I am pretty flexible. I do live with a sassy cat, but we live in a big duplex where pets can be separated if needed. I will strive to stick to your pet's usual routine whether I am sitting at your home or boarding in my own home. They are already missing their humans, and maintaining their routine gives them one less thing to be anxious about.
“Jeremy was an amazing cat sitter! Both my cats were immediately comfortable and really grew to like Jeremy’s daily visits and play time. Super responsive and always sending lots of pics for me to check in on- it’s was such a relief to have them in Jeremy’s care. Highly recommend!!!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and attention I give to every pet in my care. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy learning the ropes or a sweet senior needing extra support, I tailor my care to fit each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with basic puppy training, including leash manners, crate comfort, and potty routines. I’m also confident caring for senior dogs—administering medication, helping with mobility, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet won’t just get a sitter—they’ll get a new friend who truly cares, communicates well, and treats them like family. As a student with a very flexible school schedule, I’m able to plan my days around pet care pretty easily—as long as I have a little notice, I can make it work! I love spending time with animals, whether it's getting outside for a good walk or just hanging out at home. On weekends, you can usually find me curled up with a furry friend or two—it’s honestly my favorite way to relax. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets feel secure, loved, and right at home—whether that means sticking to their usual routine, keeping their environment calm, or giving them extra one-on-one attention. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and follow all instructions carefully—from feeding schedules to walk times and any special quirks your pet may have. In my home, I keep things clean, cozy, and pet-friendly, with lots of snuggle spots and safe spaces to relax. Building trust with both pets and their people is important to me, and I always aim to communicate clearly and keep you updated so you feel at ease while you're away.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a child always responsible for feeding, grooming, and walking. I love pets and would dog sit for my family and friends. I adopted my own cat my first year of grad school and have never looked back Im currently working part time as I apply for jobs after graduating medical school! I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets and provide excellent care! I have a spacious 2 bedroom condo in a safe neighborhood for walks. I have a bedroom to setup the pets home base to make them feel comfortable
“Elizabeth did a great job with our pup! She kept us updated the entire time with lots of details and pictures. It was comforting knowing Elizabeth was treating Bo like her own while we were away. She approached separation anxiety with nothing but compassion and patience. Thank you Elizabeth for such a great experience!! :)”
“I cannot speak highly enough of Julie. We are thankful that she has looked after our cats numerous times now. You can depend that she will take wonderful care of your furry family members. But will also move blinds, and check thermostat. Extremely grateful to have found Julie! Zeek & Zoey can’t wait to see you again 😃”
About: I grew up on my grandmother's farm caring for dogs cats and horses. I've done it all from making special meals for pets to changing horseshoes on the farm. I'm a tattoo artist and have mornings open and 3 days off Monday-Wednesday my schedule is very much what I make it and I can make special accommodations if needed! They are family even if we just met. I believe animals are far more intelligent and aware than most people give them credit for! I am to treat every animal I meet with the same respect and attitude that I would my own companions
About: I've had dogs since I was a kid, for as long as I can remember. I've had dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. My last dog was trained so well that friends and neighbors decided to get a dog for themselves after meeting him. Currently I have a 3 year old dog at home, along with my wife and 2 teenagers. We all love dogs because of the mutual unconditional love. I love taking dogs on walks, playing fetch with them in our small backyard and going to the dog park is a favorite activity for the whole family. Our dog is happiest when playing with other dogs and then getting so tired she can poop out on our couch while cuddling one of us. We have a small backyard but live in a very dog friendly neighborhood with sidewalks so when playing in the backyard isn't exercise enough long walks are great. I am familiar with giving dogs different medications and dealing with different dog personalities. I am an educator, so I am home for the summer, so our routine is flexible. I typically start the day with a morning walk by 7:00 am and then see where the day takes us. We take our last potty break around 10:00 pm before heading to bed. I have a fenced in backyard. I allow pets on our furniture. I do not have a crate, but I am comfortable crating dogs if that is what they are accustomed to. I have a dog and a cat at home. The cat mostly avoids dogs. I love dogs and they will be safe, loved, and taken good care of. There is usually always somebody at home to watch the pets, and we have a flexible schedule to accommodate to that.
“Riley was wonderful and caring with my two cats! She was a perfect fit for our need for daily check-ins while out of town. I will definitely think of Riley next time I need a pet sitter!”
About: **update** I’ve moved neighborhoods! I now live near Wauwatosa! I do have a fenced in yard! I’ll still take clients in Bayview too! ☺️☺️ I had a dog in my house every since I was in elementary school, and loved each one of them more than anything in the world. I have been dog sitting since my mid 20s, and thoroughly enjoy taking care of and loving dogs of all sizes! I work close to home Wednesday through Sunday, no more than 7 hours at a time. That leaves plenty of time for several walks, playtime and the dog park(if allowed). I live 2 blocks from several parks and a 10 minute drive to 3 dog parks. Your pup(s) will get plenty of exercise and have free roam of my house, and can sleep wherever they choose including the furniture and beds(unless otherwise instructed:) )

Ashley W.Star Sitter
“Ashley is quite the do lover. She no only loves dogs but has tons of energy for those who like to be super active. In the time I have known Ashley she has not only watched dogs I've had and done an excellent job but she is also a former foster with a local dog rescue. When fostering with an off transport rescue you rarely know what to expect and Ashley has shown that she can care for many types of dogs of varying temperaments. The most memorable was very anxious and mouthy beagle who was later put on Prozac to help with her temperament and behavior. Ashley fostered Tallulah until she was adopted to later be returned multiple times because people just couldn't deal with the challenge that Ashley was. If I had a personal dog i would not only trust Ashley with its care but not worry because I know she would do anything she could to assure it's comfort and care.”

“Molly & I have been friends for 20 years and of that 20, 12 of them with my sweet dogs. My kids absolutely adore Aunt Molly! (To the point that they get upset when she’s on speaker phone & not actually in the house) She is patient, never yells or scolds & is so kind to them. Tons of attention & so much petting I think they might go bald! They listen to her on walks and I truly think they just want to be around her. Molly has dog sat for several friends and I can honestly say the dog has a little trouble separating from her and going back to their owners ! Molly will be an excellent sitter. She will provide regular feedings, lots of walks and TONS of love!!”

Elizabeth did a great job with our pup! She kept us updated the entire time with lots of details and pictures. It was comforting knowing Elizabeth was treating Bo like her own while we were away. She approached separation anxiety with nothing but compassion and patience. Thank you Elizabeth for such a great experience!! :)
This is our second time booking with Emily, and we’ve loved her so much that we’ve referred friends to her who confirm the same sentiment: She is just fantastic at what she does. Her experience with young children as an elementary school teacher certainly translates to being phenomenal with furry friends! We were concerned that our shy calico would hide, but she was happily making friends within a few visits. Rover reports were detailed (and so sweet!) each day. Cannot continue recommending Emily enough!
Cyen took care of my cats while I was away. I had a long manual and Cyen actually took time to read and performed the task. I was worried in the beginning since it was my first time using her service, but it went away on the first day. Would love to hire her again in the future!
Liz was very responsive, timely, and communicative. I felt in tune with how my cats were doing, and based on the updates she gave, I knew I didn’t need to worry about them! She also helped us out with a late booking, which we greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend Liz for cat care!
Alexandra came to walk my dog on short notice when I had an unexpectedly busy day, and he came home with a huge doggy smile on his face. I was home so got to greet her at the door and she is very pleasant and friendly. Will definitely be using her for future pet care!!
