Pet Sitting Nash Park

“Michelle easily gets a five star review. I just moved to the area and was nervous about leaving my dog alone but Michelle has made the transition so easy. She is wonderful with my boy. She is excellent with communicating and sends the best updates. 10 times out of 10, I’m picking Michelle.”

About: I’ve had dogs as part of the family my entire life. I was the trainer of of all our puppies while I was growing up. Now I have two dogs, one with special needs and the other that needs extensive training with reactivity. I can manage medications, reactive walkers, as well as give as many belly rubs and head scritches as needed! I have cared for dogs from puppy to senior. I currently have a remote job that has a lot of flexibility. My schedule does vary and is rather accommodating. I will have my calendar updated accordingly for availability. At this time I will only be providing services at your home since I do have a reactive pup at mine. Also due to that, I will be only providing drop ins and walks.

“Stephen and Amelie are the best! They take excellent care of our babies and our home when we’re away and make us feel completely comfortable when we need to travel without the pups. Our dogs love them too!”

“Brooke watched my cat Douglas while we were out of town and she did an excellent job!! She provided detailed reports of he was doing and took lots of pictures. She cuddled and played with him every visit and followed the feeding instructions we gave her perfectly. It was such a relief knowing Douglas was in great hands 😊 definitely will be utilizing her services again!!”

“Charlotte came to do a meet and greet, and then was very quickly available for a drop in visit! She has great communication and Lenny loves her!”

About: After several busy months on Rover with almost nonstop bookings, I have had such great stays with dozens of dogs, no accidents in the houses, no bites, no runaways, zero negative experiences. I feel confident that with me, you’re getting a premium stay for your pets for a really good value! I’m incredibly hands on and present with the pets, with them 24/7 and very adaptable with the different needs and personalities. I’m attentive with different care instructions and really shower the animals with positive attention 😊 I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. This is not a business for me, it’s something I have enjoyed doing for my family and friends, and if you want your beloved pet to be in a calm but fun, comfortable environment while you’re away, I can extend my service to you. I recently started doing home stays/drop ins for the pet sitting too and enjoyed it. I currently have a really flexible schedule with a lot of availability. I live with my dad that occasionally says hi if the dog or cat is friendly but mostly the house is big enough that they never cross paths. I have a fenced in yard and a big house with a lot of space that I can also section off by closing doors. I typically take the animals out several times a day, feed them, and let them roam around the house or snuggle with me. I like when pet owners bring a bed for their pets so I can make them their own space but they’re welcome to chill with me in whatever I’m doing. I’m youthful, active, and responsible. I have a naturally friendly, calm demeanor that animals and people respond well to. I have no pets right now but used to have a pit/black lab mix that I loved dearly so I love pits and other breeds with historically bad reputations. I frequently sit my aunt’s beagle mix who’s just a little old pup that sparked my interest for pet sitting because it was so fun to have visits from him. He and my old dog are in a bunch of my pics. With all animals I just try to make them comfortable and let them feel at home.

“Melainie is great with Trixie! She comes to let her out while I'm at work and I love getting the updates and photos during their visits 🥰 Trixie can be shy with new people and she's taken to Melainie so, so well!”

About: What sets me apart is real, everyday experience — I'm currently raising two young Dobermans at home, so I understand the exercise, training, and attention that active breeds need. Before them, I have had past dog-sitting work, means I can confidently handle puppies still learning the ropes as well as older dogs who just want a calm, reliable presence. I treat every dog in my care like part of the family. I am currently a medical student so I am able to care for pets throughout the day on weekdays during months where I have more free time. On walks, I will focus on safety and your dog's comfort. I will make sure to check the leashes before heading out, walk at a pace tailored to their energy and age, and remain alert to the surroundings. For home check-ins, I follow your care instructions exactly (feeding, water, meds, routine) and make sure your pet gets attention and affection while you're away. I will send photo updates and treat your home with care and respect, just as I would my own.

About: I've had multiple dogs over the last 30 years. Mainly Bull Mastiffs, Border Collie Mix, and multiple Pitties. We lately have been adopting older dogs to give them the best end of life possible. For friends I've watched many smaller to larger dogs, comfortable with all. I have experience with all sorts of meds and care, although I prefer to stay away from anything with needles when possible. We've been to the vet more times than I can count, and have gotten good at understanding/reading dog behavior and signs of distress. I have experience with all soft of personalities...shy or alpha, lazy or rambunctious, etc. I like to understand them and work with them where they are at so they enjoy themselves and are happy. I'm a pretty calm presence and in general dogs trust me right away. My wife will joke that I am a dog whisperer as dogs tend to follow my lead easily, but I think it is simply being confident and projecting that you are there to take care of them. I have a very flexible work schedule and am home most of the time. I only have 1 dog right now (Oscar, 82 lb Pitty who loves everything and everyone...he walks around with soft toys like they are his dolls), but will likely be back to 2 in the near future. I walk my pup(s) pretty much every day. We live near Hart Park and the Oak Leaf Trail so getting out to walk along the river/parks is very easy. New to doing this formally rather than just for friends. Normally watch friends dogs at their place. If we take care of your pup in our home, we will always have 1+ pups that will be other-dog friendly. My wife and I have a small Tosa home but fully fenced-in yard to be able to let them out at any time day or night without worry. We have a small main floor but it has 3-4 dog beds and multiple toys (prefer dogs who are ok with soft toys, as our pup(s) don't rip those up. Will likely prefer caring for your pup in your home, it simply mitigates the crowding in the house and any potential conflicts. If I look after any cats, those would be at your house. We no longer have cats and aren't prepped for that in any way.

About: I grew up alongside my beloved family yellow lab Stella! I miss having a dog around on the daily and would love to give all the love to yours! I am happy to walk, play with, feed, or let your dog out throughout the day! From October - December of this year I will have significant time of off medical school for residency interviews. I am very flexible throughout the work week during the days that I don’t have an interview. While I unfortunately cannot host dogs in my own space, I am happy to come to you. I will give my upmost respect to your home and your pet by closely following your instruction.

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 have always had a dog in my life and mostly care for my parent’s dogs however live in Wauwatosa in an apartment with no pets in a very walkable area (I go for 2 walks a day). My family currently has 2 dogs- a 9 year old Atlas Mountain dog named Mila adopted from Tunisia; she is obviously emotionally scarred and usually takes a bit to warm up to people- so I understand the dogs who need some space at first but I know to love & care for each and every dog the same. My family's other dog, Mavis, is a 6 year old high energy border collie! I have experience with visiting and caring for people in the area's pets and also having them stay with me at my apartment to go for plenty of walks and visit many parks near me. I miss living with animals so much, so I happily take in pets to have the company. I will make sure your pet is loved and cared for fully at all times! I am currently working as a therapist doing clinical mental health counseling through a private practice so I am pretty flexible to work around your needs and schedule! Open to price adjustments to what fairly fits your situation best. I am very attentive to their needs and diligent to make sure they are fed, exercised, and cared for - will go above and beyond to care for others above all.

“Emily is great with Scout! Scout is a bit of a difficult dog due to temperament and physical disability, but Emily handles her well, and Scout loves her!”

“Jen takes the best care of our cats and consistently goes the extra mile to make us feel comfortable about being away from our home/cats! The cats love her (including our shy one).”

“Thanks”

“Erica was very thorough and did a wonderful job taking care of Cooper at lunchtime. You can definitely tell she cares about dogs. We would recommend her and use her again to care for our pup.”

About: I have had a dog of my own for 6 years and over the years have cared for neighbors, family friends, and other family members pets! I am a nurse so I have a natural caring way about myself that extends to pets when I get to care for them! I work typically 3 12 hour shifts a week leaving the rest of my week open to care for your beautiful pets! I am required to work every third weekend of the month, but other than that my weekends are typically open! I am unable to care for pets in my current apartment as my landlord does not allow pets. However when caring for your pets in your home I will give you, your space, and your pets my utmost respect and courtesy. I firmly believe in leaving a space the exact way I found it and leaving your pets happier than how I found them!!

“Maiah is a great sitter, communication is excellent. Always sends a detailed summary of the visit and goes above beyond to make your pet have an enjoyable time. Highly recommend !”

About: I have three years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic pups to laid-back senior cats. Whether it’s a lively game of fetch or a quiet cuddle session, I provide the care and attention your pet deserves. I’m committed to keeping them happy, healthy, and loved! My focus is on creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every pet I care for. I’ve worked with a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments, so I’m adaptable to your pet’s unique needs. From long walks to belly rubs (or just hanging out with cats who prefer their own space), I bring patience, reliability, and plenty of love to the table! Pet care is a big part of my day! 🐾 Since I’m home full-time, I have plenty of flexibility to care for your furry friends. From morning walks 🌅 to midday play sessions 🐕 and evening snuggles 🛋️, I’m here to keep them happy, active, and loved every step of the way! I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort in both my home and yours! 🏡 While I don’t have a fenced backyard, I make up for it with a large park nearby and a fenced dog area for plenty of safe playtime 🐾. At home, your pet will enjoy a cozy, loving environment with lots of space to relax or run around. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or a fun time in the dog park, your pet will be active, entertained, and safe every step of the way!

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.
