About: I've been around animals all my life, from guinea pigs and rabbits, to cats and dogs, to even giant sea turtles! I worked in the veterinary industry for about 10 years as well as a summer at the Milwaukee County Zoo in the Aquatic and Reptile Building. I am comfortable with medication for most animals, fear free handling if needed, but I'm also willing to take my time with more shy pets. I currently have a lab mix who is about 70 lbs, two cats with different medical concerns, and an 11 year old rabbit. As far as my own pets, I do all the care for them in my home. For my working schedule, I am available most mornings after 7:15 am until 2 pm during the week. I am able to do some weekends as well, depending on the situation. I know dogs who are runners well, as my dog very much one! We do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a tie out for my dog, as well as a leash and harness for her for walks and car trips (as well as a seatbelt!). I understand the stress of putting someone in charge of your pets and the care that must be taken. I will always put your pets safety first and make sure all the clips, locks, and bolts are secure before leaving the home.
About: I've worked at a vet clinic for over two years, dealing with all different types of dogs and their needs. I've also had dogs my whole life. I’m a college student so I am not in the area during the school year. But for the rest of this summer, I am fully available! I am pre vet and I work at a vet clinic so animals are basically my entire life! I would not be able to care for pets in my home since I have two other dogs. However, I am happy to take care of the pets in your home.
About: I grew up with dogs and have had an extensive career in the Animal Health Industry, selling veterinary pharmaceuticals for 25 years, and also working as a client services representative at a busy emergency and referral veterinary center. Not only did I grow up with dogs but I have had my own dogs as an adult, which I actually got because the family I was sitting for could no longer keep them and asked if I would like to make it a permanent situation. I cared for both of them into their senior years and became proficient at managing their medical conditions that arose from aging (diabetes and canine cognitive disorder). My two boys required very extensive care and routine insulin administration for my diabetic as well as additional medications that I became very proficient in administering, even if they were particular about taking pills, etc. I am very knowledgeable in how to manage multiple dogs at once, how to keep dogs safe in various environments, and a good eye for anything that may indicate they may not be feeling their best. When I had my guys, I would often trade sitting and walking favors with my fellow dog owners so I have had a lot of experience sitting for and walking other dogs throughout my life. My goal is to give peace of mind to dog owners that they can go on vacation, business trips, day trips, or just out anywhere, and they will know that their dog is in great, loving hands. I am currently working full-time but I am off on Thursdays and Fridays and I can also take on pets in the evenings after work. When sitting for your pet I can take them out on my lunch hour if necessary. I would follow any requests that you have in order to make your pet as comfortable as they are when you are there. I am very familiar with local walking trails and parks that are pet friendly.
About: My experience working with dogs in the doggy daycare setting has given me many skills to apply into my dog sitting role! I have cared for dogs from itty bitty 5 pounds all the way to 150+ pounds! I also have experience administering medications to dogs including liquid form and pill form. I have mastered the task of hiding the pills well in special treats to where they don’t even notice! I have personally cared for my own senior dog who was on multiple medications daily, and needed special attention to specific details. I would love to meet you and your furry friends, and make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away! Pet care works into my daily routine as my schedule is set and very flexible, allowing me to do short drop ins throughout the day if needed or would best suit a puppy who needs those extra potty breaks! With my in home care , I strive to make the transition of “pawrents” leaving and me coming in as smooth and seamless as possible! I have a set schedule that I can work around thought the day. I am happy to follow a daily schedule that your pup is used to so they don’t get overwhelmed or stressed. I strive to send multiple pictures a day and give frequent updates. I care for pets the same way I would my own family furry friends!
About: I've had dogs for most of my life, I love going for long walks and playing fetch. My schedule is very flexible and I'm able to accommodate their needs! I'm an incoming college freshman at UW Madison, and I'm using pet-sitting as my sole job for this summer, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! I have a lot of love to give to your pets, animals have a special place in my heart. I would love to take your pup for long walks in Lapham Peak or any other park!

Claire E.
“Claire watched our motley crew (two special needs Samoyeds and 4 cats) over a long weekend and we had complete peace of mind! She shared unprompted updates and photos and when a big storm rolled in she even gave us updates on the house and offered to check anything out additionally if needed (ie basement flooding). Outside of feeding our pets and taking them out for potty breaks she also gave our dogs their medications and enrichment items we left for them to do. We will 100% have her back to pet sit!”
Skyler P.
“Thanks so much!!”
Tessa O.
“Tessa took care of our home for 11 days and did a fantastic job! She took excellent care for our pets: this included walking the dog multiple times per day, feeding them punctually on a regular schedule and making sure they got enough attention while we were gone. Tessa also watered our gardens and received our mail/packages as necessary. Tessa is a kind, responsible, punctual and bright young lady and I highly recommend her for any pet care services you may require.”
Julie E.
“Julie was absolutely amazing! She is extremely responsive and took great care of our pup. Thanks for helping us out and walking our fuzzy kid! I would use again in a second!”
