“Nothing but great things to say about Jackie! She was able to walk Jenko on a last minute request. Have used her on multiple occasions since. Great communication and follow up. Definitely recommended her for any dog walking needs”

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've grown up around animals my whole life, including horses, dogs, cats, birds, even miniature donkeys of all ages, and I've never gone a day with less than 8 pets! In addition to owning several loving pets, my mom and I have rescued many pets from unsafe situations and helped nurse them back to a healthy condition, which has given me experience with animals of all personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I've cared for dogs my entire life, and have experience caring for up to 5 dogs at once. I am very comfortable handling both high energy and more relaxed dogs, and I adjust my care to fit each dog's individual needs. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, supervising playtime, bathtime, dispensing oral medication, and making sure each dog stays safe, happy, and well cared for. Back home with my parents, I have two loving dogs - Millie who is a highly energetic dog who can't get enough playtime and Fletch who just wants love and affection 24/7. Caring for them has given me experience understanding different temperments. I also have experience overnight pet sitting for a dog and cat simultaneously while also baby sitting three children all with different schedules as well as daily check ins on a farm which included caring for several dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and birds, so I am very reliable and comfortable managing multiple tasks at once while maintaining routines and giving attention and exercise as needed. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently available full time every day of the week/weekend through August 31, 2026. My schedule may change, but I will make sure to update my profile if that is the case! I provide care in the client's home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. During daily check ins, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, and recieve attention, playtime, or walks depending on their needs. I also handle litter box cleaning for cats and any basic household care related to the pets. For overnight stays, I stay in the home to provide consistent care, companionship, and supervision throughout the day and night. I am very detail-oriented and follow instructions closely, maintaining feeding and exercising schedules and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. I also pay attention to each pet's individual personality and adjust my care to fit their comfort level, whether they are energetic and playful or more shy and independent. In addition to in house pet care, I have no trouble taking pets for walks outside of the area whether that is a dog park, around the neighborhood, or by the lake per owner request. I also have a dog park at my apartment complex and would be willing to take pets to a coffee shop for a pup cup if that is of the owner's interest! My top priority is to keep pets safe, healthy, and stress free by maintaining their routine and giving them reliable, attentive care.

“Jessica is amazing! Our dog Gabby stayed with her during the day and they got to enjoy nice walks, go to the park and get lots of play time. Jessica kept us updated during the day and sent us lots of cute pictures. Gabby is excited to see her again!”

“Thanks again Jamie! Augie enjoyed his walk. We appreciate your help.”

“Mika is great! They are incredibly caring and good with my dog. They have helped tremendously with his loose leash walking while making sure he gets lots of energy out. My dog loves them!”

Irene S.

“Jake has been fabulous with my dog— he clearly has a great energy with animals and his dog Atlas has been a major bonus as Hanu loves playing chase with him. Additionally, he’s prompt and professional with his replies and shares some adorable photos. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a walker!”

About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet like they are my own. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, energetic with playful dogs, and gentle with senior animals who may need extra support and slower-paced care. I’m also very detail-oriented and make sure routines are followed closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I communicate consistently with pet owners through updates and photos so they always know their pet is happy and well cared for. What sets me apart most is the amount of genuine attention and affection I give to each pet. I don’t just “watch” animals — I spend quality time with them to make sure they feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for while you’re away. I'm currently nannying on weekdays from 8:00am - 4:30 pm, so I’m available for morning visits before work, evening walks/check-ins, and overnight care depending on the pet’s needs. I’m especially flexible on weekends and have much more availability for walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and quality playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent, stress-free, and fun. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime, and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I have two large-breed dogs at home, so I’m comfortable handling bigger, high-energy dogs, and I have also frequently dog sat for smaller-breed dogs with different temperaments and care needs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care requests.

“Elise walks my dog twice a week, and it’s been a fantastic experience. She is friendly, reliable, and genuinely loves dogs. My dog took to her right away and looks forward to her visits. I also appreciate the reports, pictures, and consistency—she go above and beyond. Highly recommend to anyone looking for dog walker! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog walker!”

“My puppy girl is always so excited to see Kayla for her walks! Kayla is great! She is an excellent communicator and has been reliable. I can tell she is good with my puppy based on how long they are able to walk for and the sweet pictures Kayla sends of her. Seriously the best dog photographer out there which is an added perk ;)”

“Met with Maggie for a meet and greet and a walk. Maggie was very responsive and prompt. She was communicative in the app, providing pictures and updates on their potty breaks as well. I’m looking forward to working with her again.”

About: I love nurturing all living things from children (although I am not yet a parent to a human), to plants and animals alike! I tend to put all living things before my own needs to prioritize their well-being. In addition, I recently took in a crested gecko and have learned so much about caring for reptiles as well. Everyday before leaving my apartment I make sure that both of my pets have plenty of food and water. In addition, I check to ensure that my plants are out of reach from my cat and that my bioactive terrarium is maintaining humidity. I care for pets by making sure they have food, water, a clean liter box, a moist environment, and get taken out for potty breaks depending on which animal I am caring for. I am willing to care for your pets with the same considerations in mind.

“Travis did a very good job walking my dog Mikah while I was away. He is very friendly and my dog warmed up to him instantly. He was very persistent with the report cards and sending photos. Definitely would work with him again and recommend!”

About: For the past 10 years, I’ve cared for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs—often for long stretches while they’re away—so I’ve worked with a variety of breeds and personalities. I grew up around dogs and currently have pets of my own, so I’m comfortable with daily routines, walks, feeding schedules, and giving plenty of exercise and playtime. Whether a dog is energetic, shy, or extra cuddly, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. I stick closely to owner instructions, keep things clean, and treat every dog like part of the family. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work from home and have flexible hours. I can accommodate regular check-ins, feeding schedules, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I have my own transportation, so getting to and from clients’ homes is never an issue. I’m reliable, consistent, and able to adapt to each pet’s daily needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety and comfort come first. I follow all owner instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure pets are always secure—whether that means proper leash use, safe outdoor time, or monitoring food and water. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and leave things clean and organized. If pets are in my home, they get a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention, play, and rest. I always communicate clearly, send updates, and make sure owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats. I currently have two cats of my own that I love with my entire heart! I know what it’s like to have pet parent guilt leaving your fur babies alone at home, and I would love to help take that weight off your heart! I am a professional volleyball player. I live here in Milwaukee during the off-season and don't have much to do in the summer. I workout in the mornings at 9am, but after that I am completely free. My gym is out in Wauwatosa, so it is no problem for me to make a trip out to the suburbs every day! I am usually busy on weekends, but weekdays are almost always wide open! I will follow whatever plan/schedule that you have laid out for your fur babies! I would feel most comfortable walking and caring for dogs that are trained on leash!

“Aubrey did a great job communicating when she had issues getting into our apartment. She was able to get in and let Sunny out to go potty which is exactly what we needed!”

Blake H.

“Melissa did a great job watching my dog while I was out of town. She was prompt, reliable, communicative, and I'd definitely ask Melissa to watch him again!”

Sarah H.

“Jessica took the best care of Max! Her communication was impeccable and you could see the quality in her care she provided for our dog. We could tell Max looked forward to his walks with her. We would highly recommend her care with anyone’s pet!”
