About: I have been pet sitting dogs and cats since I was only 13 years old. When my grandparents were out of town, I would ride my bike to their house to watch over their cats and let out their dog. Now, I'm home from college and looking for a job that involves animals and I would enjoy doing. May 23rd-August 16th, I am home from college (in Racine) and taking summer bookings currently. From August 18th-December 6th, I'll be at college (in Whitewater) and taking bookings there. I'll be home (in Racine) again December 15th for winter break. Returning clients will get priority over new clients when it comes to bookings. I can walk dogs, let them out, play with both dogs and cats, feed the animals, bring in mail and packages and water any plants as needed.

“Very friendly, dog had a great walk.”

About: Hi! Devoted animal lover here! I've taken care of animals my entire life as I grew up with dogs, cats, as well as birds. As a teenager I volunteered for training with an animal organization! More recently, I worked at a doggy daycare for an approximately 1 year. However, I decided to venture off on my own as this allows me to give every animal a customized experience. We create a permanent bond and familiarity. Animals are magnificent, they will tell you exactly how they feel without a voice. I give them the floor and listen to them. I understand boundaries and allow your fur baby to set them and I follow suit happily! ☺️ Separating from your child and putting your trust into someone else to care for your fur baby is daunting, nerve wrecking, and exhausting. I whole heartedly understand this as I’ve made people put my babies on the phone while I was away laughing but serious! I’m extremely communicative and you will ALWAYS receive real time updates and of course unlimited pictures!!! One day I hope to get into animal photography until then you may or may not see me laying on the ground to get the best angles of your fur baby with my iPhone! 📱 ALL are welcome!! My love knows no age, breed, or size!!! I’m a mother to 2 senior pets both cat and dog.🐕 In total I have 5 children. 4 cats all adopted from shelters, as well as my senior dog carrot! I realized at a very young age I wanted to run a mini rescue operation ❤️ Consultation is always free. Please let me know anything you would like me to know about your doggo prior to meeting! :) Pet care is my life. I’m a full time fur mom and a full time fur care taker. This is always something I’ve been passionate about and have finally been able to open up my availability completely! My pets are pampered! I love all fur babies as my own because it is simply impossible for me not to do so! I currently don’t offer in my house sitting because my senior dog gets stressed easily.

About: Hi there! I’ve had the joy of caring for my mom’s and friends’ dogs over the years, and I was also a proud dog mom myself for over a decade. My sweet girl passed away last September, and while I’m not quite ready to bring another pup into my life full-time, I truly miss the companionship and would love the chance to care for your dog while you’re away. I have experience with senior dogs and pups who need special medical attention, including administering medication and monitoring health conditions like seizures. I understand how important it is to provide patient, attentive care—especially when a dog has unique needs. Whether your dog loves long walks or just relaxing on the couch, I’m happy to meet them right where they are. I’d be honored to give your pup the love, attention, and comfort they deserve in your absence. I work from home and occasionally out in the field, but I'm never gone for more than a few hours—and I can adjust my schedule to be home the entire time if needed. Outside of work, I am a homebody, so you never have to worry about your dog being alone at night. While I do not have a fenced yard, I have a small courtyard and live in a residential neighborhood, which is excellent for walking. Inside my home, your dog is free to go wherever they like. No place is off limits (I am used to having a sliver of the bed).

About: I am an active educator working with elementary aged students 10 months out of the year for the past sixteen years. However, I also have a special place in my heart for animals of all kinds. I have a particular interest and skillset working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments and have over 10 years of experience walking shelter dogs in my community. I have been passionate about dogs since I was a young girl, and when I finally got my own dog at the age of twelve, my desire to learn more about them and how to best care for them grew exponentially. Volunteering in the shelter environment, I have honed my skills in reading dog body language, creating safe walking environments, understanding and communicating health concerns, and handling boisterous, reactive, or fearful behaviors with calm kindness and care. Behavior is communication and I use my expertise as an educator to best care for and enrich the lives of the animals around me. I also adopted my own dog as adult from the humane society in 2018, who came with her own unique personality and behaviors such as reactivity, anxiety, dog reactivity, low confidence, and over-excitable drive. Throughout our eight years together, we have developed a strong bond and communication style that has brought her to achieving her Canine Good Citizen Certificate, and become a calm, confident, well-balanced dog. She also has learned how to communicate with me through augmentative and alternative communication buttons and express her personality in words I can understand which has been mind blowing! I love giving her the best life possible and I’m excited to support you and your furry friend along that journey as well during our time working together. I’m currently an educator who works full-time 10 months out of the year, but am available evenings and weekends. However, during the months of June and July I am available during the mornings, afternoons, or evenings and have a flexible schedule to accommodate you and your pet’s specific needs. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to allow your dog time to run and play freely or just bask in the summer sunshine. My dog needs multiple, slow introductions to new dogs, so if you are in need of overnight care, additional meet and greet walks would be required to make sure they are a good fit together before any bookings.

About: I’ve been on a hiatus from Rover because I got my own puppy March 2021. She is my whole world and a genuine angel. I’m ready to help with other angels now! I love walks with my dog, Cash. I try to find trails that we can walk through where she can get good sniffs. I’ll take care of your dog like they’re my own because I’ve been in your shoes before. I work from home so I am able to leave for lunch for drop in visits or walks. My schedule is very flexible for me to take care of your dog. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog. My house is a dogs on furniture couch. I will cuddle and give your dog love while you’re away.

About: I am a life long dog lover. I've had dogs since I was a little kid, and currently, 2 chiweenies at home. I have worked as a dog walker and a dog sitter in the past and I enjoy dogs of all shapes and sizes! I can provide a cozy home for your pet where they will get plenty of cuddles, scratches, and probably some silly songs made up for them. I work from home, so I am home all day to keep an eye on your pet and to administer any care. I take frequent breaks and have time to play, take dogs on a walk around the block, etc. I require pets to be child, and dog friendly, since I have a 4 year old daughter, and 2 chiweenies at home. I also would not be a good fit for destructive pups (chewers and scratchers) unless they are kennel trained. I have a big fenced yard but a runner or escape artist would not be a good fit as one portion of my fence is shorter than the rest. Other than that, I can accommodate many pet needs. I have room for a kennel if needed, and a big bed for pets who prefer more cuddles at night. Please feel free to ask about anything else!

“Thank you so much! Stephanie did a great job with Logan. I will be booking with her again and highly recommend her!!”

About: Ive been around animals for a decent part of my life. I’ve grown fond of having animals around, with 3 of my own kitties. I’m very diligent and patient with all animals. I can handle pups that pull. I’m versatile and work with all breeds. I strive to satisfy not only you , but also your pups. I would love to be a part of your fur babies journey!! :) I am fully available and very flexible with scheduling. I’d love to grow in experience and gain the skills I need to best take care of your pets(Home Experience Not Professional) I’m always available to take a stroll, play, and hang out with your fur babies. I will do my best to keep them happy and let them sight see. Thank you for the opportunity. I will always respect your space and follow the directions you give me. I appreciate good communication so that I can give the best service.

“Carmen has been great! She filled in for my normal walker twice now and was timely both days. She sent pictures and a brief explanation of their walk and my pup was tired out after each walk. Can’t wait to use her again!”

“Tiffany provides excellent walking services for our high-energy Nala. Would definitely recommend and plan on continuing walking and drop-in services.”

About: Hi there, I'm Nichole, and the dog in my profile picture is Chance! She was my best bud for 12 years so senior doggos are my heart! She helped me be familiar with giving oral medication and needing lots of naps and low-key play times! Besides Chance, I’ve had dogs whose ages range from 5 months to 10 years of age, and a variety of different breeds and sizes! I am comfortable with tug of war, playing fetch, or a good snuggle and belly rub. Currently we have two kitties and a doggo that just turned a year and an half (we’re working on behavioral needs with her so I’m very patient!) Are walks your furry best friend's favorite thing to do? Just leave me a note or give me instructions (if needed) in case they are really energetic or have a bigger than life personality so I know what they need. I can of course send pics of your best friend enjoying themselves on our walk, play time or even if they’re snoozing or chowing down on a meal. Do not hesitate to check in either asking how they are! It is my priority to be here while you’re away and to help you feel comfortable with their care even if I am just doing a check in. I know that their mom or dad is the best, but it’s my hope to help them not miss you as much while you're gone so I will make it a fun time for them and love them and care for them like they were my own. As far as how pet care fits into my daily routine, I would be available to walk or do check ins any time after 1 pm Monday-Thursdays and on Fridays anytime after 9 am as I am currently working summer school so have more flexibility in my schedule. Weekends are mostly free for the above mentioned as well as house sitting, I do like to keep some weekends free for a better work life balance though but of course still reach out and we can chat! For house sits I can do up to 6 days. With doing house sits during summer I of course will be out of the house still for about 5 hours for working at school so I like to be up front about that but besides running a quick errand I would be back at your house so you can make sure your furry friend is receiving the best care while you’re away! I will care for your pets as if they were family. I will be as hands off or hands on as needed depending on what they like or need. :) I also do have my husband come with me to all meet and greets due to safety reasons. He will not come to the walking or drop ins when being done.

“She always does amazing, goes above and beyond expectations! She provides LOTS of photos and gives a bunch of little details on how the walks went. Super grateful to have such a wonderful and caring person walk Maverick! 🥰”

About: If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t find a dog sitter/walker that will care for my furkid as much as me,” then I’m your gal. I love animals and will care for your animals just as if they are my own. I have three of my own fur babies named Leone, Losi and Reno. We love to go for walks and going to dog parks. I’ve had Leone and Losi since he was a puppy so I know all about that process. Definitely lived and learned but wouldn’t change anything. I’ve had Reno for two years. We got him as a rescue and he is the sweetest. I am comfortable with commands such as sit, stand, and down and can continue to reinforce your training. I have experience administering oral mediations. Big and small dogs are no problem for me. I welcome any challenge. Would Love to meet up with you and your fur kid to ensure I am a great fit for you. I am available and flexible most weekends Friday - Sunday. If a time available does not fit your needs please message me. I may be able to accommodate you. When dropping in I believe in not disturbing more than necessary. I want to approach your animals with the most care possible. I will always check that your wishes are respected and will even include photos and videos.

“Charlotte liked her walks!”

About: I am dipping my paw into the world of dog walking as a way to fulfill my passion for pets and a means of making a little pocket money. I have had dogs most of my life, cats sometimes too. As a child and teenager, I showed and handled dogs with my mom and sister. As an adult, I have almost always had at least one dog. As I write this, my husband and I have three dogs of our own. Tsi-Tsi who came to us when my mom lost her battle with cancer. Tilly is our young, beautiful and intense whippet, and in May of 2024, we adopted our rescue while on vacation in Hawaii - the gregarious and sweeter than we could ever have expected, Triena. I am a local working artist. I work from my home studio with a relatively flexible schedule. I reserve most Thursdays and weekends to spend time focused on community and family. However in a pinch I will do my best to accommodate your schedule on a case by case basis. I will come to your home and visit with your pets. I can take them out for some exercise or play and check water and food supplies. Your furry friends will be cared for like they are my own.
