“Sonja made the whole process very easy and comfortable. From meet & greet availability to instant comfort for our pups and then being adaptable with an entry challenge for the drop in visit.”


“Elisabeth is very kind, attentive, and punctual. My dog is quite skeptical of new people but Elisabeth took time for a meet & greet before their first "real" visit and she was very gentle with Gizmo, and he obviously felt that she was a safe person to let his guard down around. I highly recommend Elisabeth for anyone in the Port area — very easy to work with and gives regular updates.”


“Katie did an amazing job caring for our two cats while away! She gave us daily updates and photos and administered meds each check in. We hope to be able to book with her next time we go out of town!”


“Aislinn was great with my Boxer! She was on-time, sent a picture of Daisy, & let me know how the visit went. I would recommend her for your pets!”


“This was our first time with Rover and Emma. It was a great experience and we will ask Emma and Rover again!”


“Shannon did an amazing job taking care of our cat. She has a love for animals and is a great caretaker. I loved the detailed updates and photos of my cat while I was out of town. Shannon is reliable, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator. I highly recommend her!”

I also have limited weekend availability during the winter months. I can work with your schedule based on your needs I am able to work with what you'd like for your pets. Whether they are food motivated or play motivated, I can work with you

“Courtney is great with my dog, she is very attentive to him, and leaves great updates for me so I know how he is doing”


About: I love walking and with a dog it's even better! I enjoy being outside and spending time with dogs. I will treat your dog as if it were my own, give him/her special attention, and a walk/home while you are away. Dogs have a special place in my heart and I enjoy spending time with other people's dogs, taking them for walks, and giving your dog love and attention. I have had experience walking dogs and taking care of dogs throughout my life. I have 2 rescue dogs are both beagles. I am an avid outdoor enthusiast and love taking them for hikes in the woods, on trails in state parks, and around the neighborhood. I am available for all the services Rover offers. I can board/watch your dogs at my home. I would love to meet you and your dog! I am a teacher and love coming home to my 2 dogs. We spend a lot of time outside and go for two walks a day. I have a fenced in backyard that is about a 1/2 of an acre. Our fence is 6 feet high. I have two dogs myself, so we have lots of treats and toys as well as extra dog beds. I am also a foster for the Humane Society, Midwest BREW, and Fluffy Dog Wellness & Rescue. I have fostered over 20 dogs in my home of all different breeds and ages. I find it really rewarding!


About: I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone. With over 15 years of experience dog sitting/walking for friends and clients I understand the importance of trusting someone with your pet. You, as well as your pet, need someone you feel comfortable with. I have dog sat for a range of dogs from a 70 pound lab to a 5 pound chihuahua. I also have experience with a wide range of ages from puppies to senior dogs. I am involved in a rescue that works with senior and special need pups and am currently fostering one of the rescue dogs. I also have one dog of my own so I know the value of having someone watch your pets as if they were their own. As a person who loves animals, I am reminded every day the reason these four legged creatures become such an important part of our family. I have a somewhat flexible schedule so am available for stop in visits and walks as well as house sitting. I am willing to work with your schedule. I currently am not taking pets in my home. I am willing to come over for walks or potty breaks at your house if needed.

“Melissa did a great job stopping in to visit my dog Willow. She was prompt for the meet and greet! She seemed very professional and very nice, easy to work with☺️”


About: I have had two dogs and they gave me so much joy. I also have volunteer as a dog walker at the Ozaaukee Humane Society. I would be able to dog walk Mondays. Tuesdays and Wednesday mornings. If I would need to evenings after 8 would be fine. Some weekends are open. I would like to be a dog walker. I like to spend time out in nature. I like the exercise and the company of a dog. I can be a dog sitter as well.

“Zoey and Charlie were awesome. They treated our animals like their own. Our girls were happy and well taken care of. They will miss their babysitters!”


“Courtney and my cat bonded well and quickly. I will certainly want to use her talents once again on my next trip. Loved all the daily pictures. I know my cat was taken care of very well as she was very happy the moment I came back home.”


“Amazing!! We came back after our vacation to happy and healthy dogs. There was excellent communication the entire time.”


“Punctual, needed little direction, was extremely helpful!”


“Anna was amazing with Leo. She made sure that he was happy and let him lead the way when it came to walks/runs. If he wasn't feeling a walk she just played with him in our yard and that was the perfect idea. She was a great fit for him and for us. We will definitely reach out to her again for our future needs.”


About: With nine years of teaching experience under my belt, I've always had a passion for nurturing. Growing up surrounded by dogs, I developed a deep bond with animals that led me to pet sit for family and friends. In addition to caring for pets, I express my creativity through a side hustle of custom watercolor pet portraits and stickers. I also love camping and exploring nature. As a vegetarian for the past ten years, my lifestyle reflects my values and love for all living beings. I work remotely as a Graphic Designer on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, allowing me to check on your pets throughout the day. In the mornings, I can give them a walk and attention before work. During my lunch break, I'm able to drop in to let them out and play with them. After work, I can take them for a walk and spend some time with them. This routine keeps me connected to your furry friends while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. When I care for your pets at home, I get to know their routines and feed them according to your schedule. I make sure they get plenty of exercise and stay clean, while also spending time with them for socialization. If they need medication, I’ll give it as directed. I keep the environment safe by securing harmful items and staying attentive to their needs. I’ll send you regular updates with photos and have emergency vet contacts ready. My aim is to ensure your pets feel loved and well-cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Taylor, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I work full-time remotely, which means I’m available for dogsitting during the day—my work will just need to come with me! Your pup will still get plenty of attention, and I can take breaks for walks, playtime, and snuggles. I grew up with two golden-doodles and a mini pincher poodle, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also have experience fostering kittens and caring for multiple pets at once, so if you have a multi-pet household, I’m happy to help! I live in Port Washington and love taking dogs on walks through the neighborhood or nearby parks. Whether your pet needs a walk, overnight care, or just some extra company during the day, I’d love to help! I work full-time remotely, so I’m available for dogsitting during the day! My work will just need to come with me, but your pup will still get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether at your home or on a walk, I stick to their routine, give plenty of attention, and keep them safe. I’ll also send updates, so you know they’re happy and well cared for!

About: I am a caring and responsible pet caretaker. A pet is a family member; therefore, making sure they are fed appropriately, walked accordingly, and given the attention they deserve is top priority. I have had three dogs of my own, all rescued, so knowing how to gain trust and provide a comforting environment is my specialty. I also have two cats that have enriched my world as well! I know how to handle both anxious and energetic dogs; each needs the same amount of care and attention, yet knowing how to provide this in a unique and effective manner is important to me. I treat all pets with respect and provide the care and service they need, and I hope to provide this care for your animals as well! Compared to other sitters, my schedule is pretty flexible as I do not work a regular 9 to 5! I am back in school to pivot my career; therefore, I am available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings! (depending on the day and class schedule) At this time, I cannot offer pet accommodations in my own home. With my own pets, I stick to a daily routine for my labradoodle (Dora) and two cats (Candy and Tilo). Regular feeding times, regular walks, and of course, keeping their designated areas clean and tidy!

Jennifer M.
“I have known Jenny for about 20 years and have trusted her with my own dog, Gracie, many times. Not only did I not have to worry about Gracie while I was away, but I knew she was having a good time. Jenny's dog, Jax is such a sweet little guy and loves other dogs. Jenny spoils him with trips to the dog park and even takes him swimming. If I had four legs, I would want to hang out with Jenny all the time.”

Megan K.
“I can't say enough good things about Megan and her incredible dog-watching services! Having three dogs of her own, Megan clearly has a natural gift for connecting with dogs of all breeds and personalities. She treats her own pups with such love and attention, and it’s evident that this care extends to every dog she looks after. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch at the park, or simply giving belly rubs at home, Megan knows how to make each dog feel special and loved. I’ve entrusted her with my own dog several times, and every time I return, my pup is happy, healthy, and full of energy. It’s such a relief to know that when I’m away, my dog is in the caring hands of someone who is not only responsible but also genuinely passionate about dogs. If you're looking for someone to watch or walk your dog, or if you just need a trustworthy dog walker, look no further than Megan. Her enthusiasm and dedication shine through in everything she does. Highly recommended!"”

Hana C.
“Hana has been my go-to pet caregiver for the last 2 years ever since I adopted my cats, however, I have known her far longer. When caring for my cats, Milo and Tululah, she handles their attitudes (aka "tortitudes") with grace and good humor. She is attentive, spends time with them playing, and maintains contact with me throughout her stay by sending silly videos, photos, and general updates. On the few occasions she has had concerns about their behaviors, she has reached out immediately and taken action (thankfully, there have never been any emergencies or severe action needed, just more tortitude and tantrums from Tululah). She has taken the time to get to know their personalities and celebrates with me when they want to cuddle with her. Hana is an excellent candidate and I highly recommend her!”
