Milwaukee Pet Sitter | Trusted Care

Reliable overnight stays and drop-in care to keep your pet comfortable at home. Hi! I’m Alissa, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I grew up around pets and currently have a Mini American Shepherd named Gracie, so I understand how important routine, exercise, and attention are for dogs. I specialize in in-home pet care and overnight stays, allowing pets to remain relaxed and comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. I aim to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible — including walks, meals, playtime, medication, and providing calm, consistent companionship. I’m dependable and detail-oriented, and I take the time to follow instructions carefully so your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for. I also understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility, and I take that seriously. I prioritize clear communication and regular updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m based in the Milwaukee area and open to nearby locations. I focus on providing reliable, attentive care so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet with patience, care, and consistency, I’d love to connect.

Was able to accommodate a last-minute booking due to unexpected surgery and was super-accommodating over the weekend hospital stay updates. The pups looked super happy in every pic! Thanks so much.

Alissa was amazing! I can’t say enough good things about her. Her communication was phenomenal and she went above and beyond to take great care of our dog while we were away on vacation. The house was perfect when we got back and she sent numerous updates and pictures while we were away. We would gladly welcome her back!

Alissa had excellent communication and overall did a good job dealing with a very high energy young dog.

Excellent communication from the start. Came for a greet and meet and easy to be with and obvious knew dogs well. Ended up a friend of mine knows Alissa so a double excellent reference. She communicated with me constantly throughout the stay. My dog is a senior and she did well with him and when I returned he kept roaming into where she was staying in my place. Would have back again as she is available.

I've known Alissa for many years now and she is a really caring and responsible woman when it comes to any pet. Always going on walks all year round, playing ball, and giving them all her attention. My little Yorkie always runs up to her when he sees her with so much excitement. You won’t possibly pick a better sitter for your puppy. She is great and you won't regret it!

I appreciate knowing the small details that make your pet unique — things like favorite treats, routines, or sensitivities. Sharing those details ahead of time helps me personalize their care and ensure everything goes smoothly and comfortably for both of you.
