About: My role as an animal caretaker began at the age of 6 and has only increased in species types. In addition to caring for my own animals (dogs, cats, cattle, horses, chickens, etc.), I have worked professionally in the veterinary field for the past 6 years. This Fall, I am going into my second year of veterinary school at the University of Wisconsin, and I currently work at UW Veterinary Care on the Small Animal surgery team💉! I am equipped to care for pets of all sizes, behavioral quirks, and medical needs, and am so honored to be considered as a care companion for your furry friends! 😊 As a future dogtor in training, pet care is part of my everyday routine. In addition to caring for my own animals, I am always searching for new care opportunities to diversify my skills, whether that is in a professional clinic, sanctuary, or volunteer setting. I am an organized individual who enjoys living by plan and routine and in my experience, many of our furry companions do as well. I prefer getting to meet with pets before my care window begins to get a physical run down of their routine and establish a familiar relationship with them. My attention to detail allows me to easily follow written and verbal instructions and be equipped to troubleshoot if needed.

“Austin does a great job of meeting the high energy needs of my pup, including taking him on a good distance walk and even upping the pace to a jog at times. It gives me great peace of mind to know he’s tuned in to the needs of my dog.”



“Jennifer was fantastic! Both dogs loved having her walk them. Can’t thank Jennifer enough for giving the dogs the attention they needed while we were away from home for the day.”



“Michelle was absolutely fantastic with Kona. Our pup is nervous around new people and Michelle was amazing on her first visit/walk to meet her in advance of her house/pet sitting. After her walk and getting to know Kona, Michelle did a thorough walk through of our house and asked all the little questions and details that I’d never think to talk about before she comes to sit. I’m so confident that she will be an amazing sitter while we are away!”


About: I have had dogs my entire life. They ranged from puppies all the way to them becoming senior dogs, and they all came from very different backgrounds. I am especially good with senior dogs. My childhood dog eventually had severe arthritis and needed medication and some extra help. I would do anything for her that helped her feel more comfortable! I also puppysit for some family members so I am also used to the craziness a puppy can bring! I am currently available most days at any time until August 11. My cat does need medication at 8pm, but any other time of the day works for me! I can care for your pets however you need in your home! Whether it's going on a walk, playing outside, or staying inside, whatever is best for them is doable!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, starting with walking dogs for my neighbors — from tiny terriers to big, energetic labs. That hands-on experience taught me how to handle different sizes, breeds, and personalities with confidence and care. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable nature and genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable with leash training, reading dog body language, and keeping even the most energetic pups engaged and happy. I’m also attentive to each pet’s needs — whether that means a brisk walk, a slow stroll for a senior, or extra cuddle time. Your pet’s safety, routine, and happiness always come first with me. I have a very flexible schedule and am available anytime — weekdays, weekends, and even holidays. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals and can easily adjust my day around their needs. Whether it's an early morning walk, midday visit, or evening check-in, I’m ready whenever your pet needs me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it as my own. I follow all routines closely from feeding times to walks and medication and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. I keep a calm, clean environment and make sure pets feel secure, whether they’re outgoing or shy. I pay close attention to details like locked doors, clean water bowls, and tidy spaces. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident and connected while you're away.

“Alisyn has been wonderful with our dog, Indy! We would highly recommend her for dog walking. She is professional, dependable, and communicative. Most importantly, she made Indy feel very comfortable right away. We greatly appreciate the Rover (Report) Cards and photos after every walk. Thank you, Alisyn!”


“Michelle is great!! My dog is very shy and slow to warm up to people so I was worried about finding someone to walk him while we are at work but Michelle has been awesome!”


About: Have had dogs all my life. Dog sitting experience. Veterinary work experience. I’m reliable & trustworthy. Love dogs of all kinds. They are just the best. I work nights, so I’m available for most times during the day. I don’t work every night though, so if you need a late check in or something just let me know what you’re thinking. My pup passed away 2.5 years ago so I’m just looking to spend some quality time with some dogs while I’m in school and have a good excuse to get outside 😊 🩷 Will pick up/drop off, bathe if needed, or run with your dog if they are needing a little more exercise. I have my boarding/daycare turned off at the moment because I live in a 550 sqr ft apartment and for most dogs, I feel that that would not be fair. But if you have either a small dog or a unique situation where this would be okay, just let me know what you’re thinking, because my apartment is dog friendly and has a dog bathing station in the garage. I may consider it on a case by case basis.

About: I've taken care of my small fluffy Shih Tzu, Ginger, since I was ten years old. I have always loved taking him on walks, running around outside, and playing together. I also have experience pet-sitting my neighbors two medium sized Golden Doodles over the past few summers! In addition, my boyfriend's family has adopted multiple rescue dogs that I have had the opportunity to care for and help them get adjusted to a new space. I am a recent graduate from Emory University looking to spend some time with dogs. I have lots of free time to give lots of attention and love to any dog! I am currently only offering services in client homes only right now, as I live in a smaller apartment. I can definitely adjust to whatever you are comfortable with!

“Meeka was amazing! She was very thorough and made sure that Sadie had a good time on her walks! She sent lots of pictures and gave me a detailed summary of her cares. Would definitely recommend ☺️”


About: I started working in vet medicine in 2021 as a wildlife rehab assistant. I work at a cat specialty clinic. I have learned so much about cat care and I have the privilege to work with so many kitties - from kittens all the way to seniors! I am skilled in nail trims, medicating, administering fluids, and more! I am a full time student and work part time at the clinic. My schedule varies week by week at the moment depending on my academic requirements. I have insurance for pet sitting! I have one young male kitty who is neutered and very sweet and curious! He tends to be apprehensive towards new cats but eventually wants to sniff them and play! I have a 3 year old girl kitty who loves cuddles and must be with mommy all the time. She is my clingy girl and I love her for it! Both kitties are up to date on vaccines and tested negative for FIV, FeLV, and heart worms. I also have extra flea and tick prevention on hand!
