Pet Sitting Merrill Park

“Kristine was awesome with my cat Winnie. She can get scared with new faces but Kristine was kind and gentle with her. 10/10 would book with her again!”

“Rebecca did a great job and will be definitely booking with her again! She was on time and communicative during the time she was watching my cats!”

“Sydney is great! She was able to check in on my two pups multiple times. Sydney always leaves a detailed report and makes sure we get pics of the pups during her visits. We highly recommend her!”

About: I have extensive experience with understanding dog and cat behaviors and body language. I can almost always befriend a shy, or less confident pet in a short amount of time, given the right resources I'm currently in a program that takes up a majority of my time during the week. I have much more free time on weekends to spend time with your furry friends! My home does not allow pets indoors, but I will be able to adhere to any requirements you set for both myself and your pets!

“Jessica was great! Very responsive and communicative and appreciated how timely her visits were. Our cats seemed to be very happy having her drop in too and we loved all the photos 😊”

About: Are used to take care of cats, dogs, and horses for as long as I can remember. My neighbors would always have me careful there’s. I have a lot of free time, so I normally take my dog on a walk or run every day. Let’s go on an adventure. I have a fenced in backyard. I have a spacious home. I live in a very quiet neighborhood. Always give them love and attention that they need.

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.

“Maiah was AMAZING and so sweet!! She took great care of my cat while I was on vacation and did one extra visit because my flight had got canceled. I'd definitely have her cat sit for me again!!”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life, giving me years of practical experience with feeding, exercising, and basic leash etiquette. Responsible, punctual, and attentive to special instructions or temperaments. Excited to give your dog the attentive care and company they deserve! I am currently a student at Marquette University. With that being said, I have consistent availability in the afternoons on weekdays. I also have weekends open regularly. I am able to meet whatever the needs of your pet are. I have raised dogs from two months up until the age of 17. Whether it be crate training, diet restrictions, or potty training, I have experience in all.

“Chelsea was a great help watching my cats over (and even on!) Christmas. She was communicative and easy to work with, and I'll definitely be booking again. Thank you, Chelsea!”

“Ashlee was great at communicating and went above and beyond for my large dog with medical needs. She was able to assist him outside using a sling and adhere to his physical restrictions post surgery.”

About: I have had dogs of my own since I was 9 years old. I LOVE dogs--especially small ones! I have trained all of my dogs. I board friends' dogs in my home all the time, and am now excited to move into boarding strangers' dogs here on Rover! I work full-time, a mix of in-office and at home. I work from home on Thursdays and have flexibility on Fridays, so it works best for me to be able to provide boarding on long weekends (Thursday-Sunday). I am happy to provide your pet with seamless care and match what they are used to in your home. I have a large yard and a quiet neighborhood. My home has many rooms and I have some gates so that I can separate pets if needed. I also have a puppy play pen for smaller/younger pups who need their own space.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life 🐶🤍 I grew up with both a Golden Retriever and a Yorkie, so I’ve had experience with very different personalities, sizes, and energy levels! I’ve cared for an older dog who needed a little extra patience and gentleness, as well as a younger, energetic pup who was always ready to play. I’ve also fostered dogs through a local humane society, which has given me even more experience getting to know new dogs, helping them feel comfortable, and giving them lots of love and attention while they’re in my care. 🐾 I know how much pets mean to their people, so I’ll always treat your pup like they’re part of the family — whether we’re going for a walk, taking a potty break, playing for a bit, or just getting some extra love while you’re away! 💕 As a teacher, I have a pretty consistent schedule, which makes it easy for me to plan pet care into my routine! 🍎🐾 I’m available after 4:00 PM on weekdays for walks and drop-in visits, and I have much more flexibility on weekends. I love having something active and fun to look forward to after the school day, and spending time with dogs is the perfect way to unwind. Whether your pup needs an evening walk, a potty break, some playtime, or a little extra attention, I’d be happy to help! 💕 I’ll always care for your pet in a way that follows their normal routine and your specific instructions! 🐾 During drop-ins, I can take them outside for potty breaks, refresh their water, play with them, give treats or meals if needed, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to crate your pup after a visit if that’s part of their usual routine. For walks, I’ll make sure your dog is securely leashed and keep a close eye on their surroundings so they stay safe and comfortable. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes your pup feel happiest and most at ease! 💕

“We’ve never used rover or left our Rottweiler alone, so we were very nervous at first, but Allison could not have been any better! She updated us every day and took amazing care of Bowser. We highly recommend her and will be rebooking her in the future :)”

About: I have taken care of dogs of different sizes since I was about 12 years old. Coworkers, friends and family have allowed me to dog sit their furry friends for 3+ days in addition to walking and feeding their dogs. I also trained my family’s rescue collie when he was a puppy. I currently work full time. But I will be able to watch your pup most mornings / evenings and weekends. (8 am - 530 pm) If given instructions, I will follow them perfectly. Your dog is part of your family. And my wish is to make them as comfortable as possible when walking/watching them. This could either be from petting the animal, exercising the dog, or giving the animal distance until he/she is comfortable.

About: I have grown up with multiple animals in my house at a time and I love hanging out with any pets I can! I currently live in my apartment with my kitty cat, Ocean. He is my pride and joy! I love to hang out with any animal and help those around me as much as I can! I am on winter break currently from school, so my schedule is very open! I am a good communicator and am willing to get up early, stay up late, and anything in between! I ensure that when an animal is outside it is on a leash and that I have a very watchful eye on them. I am very attentive.

“Jenn took excellent care of our sweet kitty Lola. Even though Lola is quite shy, Jenn did her all to engage her and make her feel comfortable. I appreciate her professionalism greatly. Would highly recommend.”

About: While I don't own a pet I lived with pets almost my whole life until buying a home for myself. While I wait until the right pet comes along in my life I'll happily care for yours! Living near the Hank Aaron Trail allows plenty of time for walks or runs around the neighborhood. If your pet isn't a fan of long walks or runs that's okay, too! Couch time is always something to look forward to with a friendly dog as well. Happy to follow any and all rules owners have while going the extra mile to make sure your pet feels cared for every day I take care of them. Look no further for someone to dedicate their time for your pet than my home. I work full time in the Milwaukee area but am usually not gone for longer than 8.5 or 9 hours at a time. I make time right away in the morning and immediately after work to care for any of the pets that I am watching. If your pet is active I'll happily take it out for runs around the trail or make time to play with it either in my yard or at the park near me. I will happily take the time to play with your pet outside or just let it roam around and do its business if that is what your pet prefers. There aren't many dogs in the area that are out and about to worry about. I don't have a pet of my own that you need to worry about your pet being comfortable with, either. I work full time Monday to Friday and am gone for 8.5-9 hours at most. I make time in the mornings and after work to take dogs out for walks and regular exercises as needed. My schedule typically revolves around the dog I’m watching. While sitting dogs I make them my priority and try to give them as much attention as they desire or you would at your home. There are parks and open fields nearby to play in and plenty of sidewalks to roam and get a leisurely walk in.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, even dogs that can be leash, collar, and dog aggressive when walking. I am mostly available later in the week and weekends due to being a full time student, but have breaks in between my school days! There is a green area for dogs down the street from me and a quick 15 minute walk towards the lake for more walking paths!

About: No kids or pets of my own and a big Jeep means my outdoorsy lifestyle is open and flexible for your fur babies. I'm comfortable with dogs from all walks of life. I have confident experience with reactive dogs and big breeds especially. I'm a part time barista, working mostly evenings, so morning and mid-day walks work best for me. I am available for night walks after work as well, if that works for your schedule. Weekend boarding is best with advance notice, as I occasionally pick up Friday and Saturday shifts at the coffee shop. I live on the second floor with access to a fenced in backyard. Hardwood floors in home. No kids or other pets of my own. I do have houseplants if your dog is sensitive to soils, fungus, or has a history of plant eating. Crating is an option I'm comfortable with if that's what helps your furry friend feel safe, though my ideal set up is to share my whole space and enriching lifestyle with your pup, or to visit them in their home where they're already comfortable. I'm mobile with the Jeep as well, so we don't have to stick to my neighborhood if your dog is reactive and needs some extra space.
