Downtown Dog Walks & Drop-Ins

We've had pets for years and know how much better care is when it's given one-on-one. As you'll see from our profile, we've taken a couple of breaks over the years as work and moves kept us busy, but we're now settled in downtown Milwaukee and ready to meet new animal friends. Since we live in an apartment, we're focusing on dog walks and drop-in visits, so your pet can stay comfortable at home on their own routine. 3rd Ward/Juneau Town puts us steps from the lakefront, the RiverWalk, and a covered dog park, which makes for some great walks. Whether it's a brisk outing, a slow stroll for a senior pup, or company and a meal for a homebody cat, your pet will be treated like family while you're away. Thanks for visiting our profile!

Safety, trust & environment

Since we're focused on walks and drop-in visits in your own home, your pet stays in their familiar, comfortable space the whole time, no new environment to adjust to. We're happy to follow your routines exactly, from feeding and medication schedules to leash and crate preferences, so everything feels normal for your pet while you're away.

Christine and Tim have been amazing with my sweet Elton. I couldn’t ask for a better home away from home. That’s why I keep coming back. Highly recommend!!

At first meeting, I knew our dog would be as happy as could be with Christine. This was the first time we ever left him with someone he didn't know and only the second time we ever left him at all. She obviously understands dogs and treats them lovingly. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Walter would be well looked after. Appreciated the above and beyond normal care! Daily updates, too. Thank you!

You guys were fantastic! Thank you for being so loving to our Lucy❤️. Your pictures and videos were so comforting. This was our first time using Rover and we hit the jackpot with finding you guys! We will definitely book with you next time we need someone to take care of Lucy. 😊👍

Christine and Tim are wonderful people, and we're so happy to have found them. They clearly love dogs, and we were very pleased to receive regular updates (including photos and videos!) of Major while they were watching him. We look forward to booking with them again!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 21, 2023

What a relief!! Being a working dog mom means constantly worrying about your pups at work. I am so thankful to have found such a wonderful family so I can focus on my job and give it 100% knowing my pups are in good hands, happy and safe. The pictures and videos show what a great time they’re having and how comfortable they are there. They will definitely be returning many times in the future!

Schedule

We're both retired and home during the day, so we're flexible, available, and quick to respond. That means we can fit walks and drop-ins around your schedule, including midday visits, and make sure your pet gets plenty of potty breaks, exercise, and attention.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Christine can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
We like to know everything we can about your pet ahead of time so we can care for them just the way you would. Feeding schedule, favorite toys, leash quirks, all of it helps. And don't be shy about the embarrassing stuff either, if your pet has a favorite mischief (raiding the trash, herding the cat, whatever it may be), we'd rather know in advance than find out mid-visit!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
