Pet care experience

Bayview/Milwaukee Dog Lover!

I have a vast array of experience in dog-sitting. I grew up with a mini-schnauzer who lived until he was almost 12! My place: My apartment is pet friendly, and I will treat your pooch as one of my own. Background: My family has a background specializing in training champion hunting dogs (springers and black labs) as well, so I have a fair amount of knowledge from those experiences. Potty Breaks: I have easy access to outside, where there is a real grass patch for going out. Playtime: I work full time M-F, but have the ability to WFH most Fridays. Weekends are very flexible, I will take your dog for walks, play, it will be a much more comfortable stay than a dog-hotel. Need owners to bring their own toys. It can help if a dog has a special blanket as well or something from you (a sweatshirt) to curl up with and feel safe. Food: Need owners to bring their own food & bowls. Your furry friend won't be lonely - I'll make sure they have fun and are well taken care of! For overnight stays: would really be interested in long weekends or 2 nights only. If your dog can handle a full day on their own - I can come back during lunch breaks on weekdays to let them out. Can be discussed. Will not accept aggressive dogs.

Lauren kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which really helped us feel at ease while we were away. We could tell Otis was happy, well-exercised, and getting lots of love. When we picked him up, he was his usual joyful self—and maybe even a little sad to leave!

Schedule

M-W: I would generally not be inclined to care for a pet during these days. Th-Fri: Much more flexible schedule, can leave work for lunch to let out your pet. Fri: I am allowed to WFH all day these days. Sat-Sun: Very flexible schedule, would likely spend all day hanging out with your furry friend!
