“Abrianna is truly exceptional! She cared for our two dogs with such love and attentiveness—it was like leaving them with family. Over the two days we were gone, she kept in regular contact, sending updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. She walked them, played with them, and gave them all the attention they needed. We came home to happy pups and a spotless home. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Excellent. If I could give Rachel 10 stars it would still not be enough! She communicated with us. Sent pictures everyday. It was very clear to us that she cared deeply about our little dog trio which was very comforting to us. Our flight home was delayed 24 hours and she readily agreed to stay with our furry babies until we could get home. Thank you so much Rachel! ❤️”
“Heather did an amazing job with my boy Palo Santo. He is a large German Shepherd but still has puppy energy only being 1.5 years of age. She sent pics and videos of them playing in our yard. He absolutely loved having her as his sitter. We also felt comfortable with her having access to our home and being respectful. Heather was attentive and reliable. I would absolutely give her 5 stars and will continue to use her in our home for future needs.”

About: Hi, I’m Chris! I’ve always loved being around dogs and have spent years caring for pups of all kinds — from high-energy adventurers to laid-back couch companions. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and I’m here to give them the attention, care, and exercise they need while you’re away. Whether your dog loves a long, brisk walk or prefers a slower, sniff-filled stroll, I’ll adjust to whatever makes them happiest. Their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first with me, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Regular walks do more than just burn energy — they help dogs stay healthy, ease anxiety, and keep them mentally sharp. Plus, it gives them a chance to explore, smell new things, and just enjoy being a dog. I’d love to meet you and your pup and be a part of their daily routine! I do a lot of running and trail running so if you have an active dog, we could have a lot of fun. But I also enjoy slow paced walks and just enjoying the environment. As I have had inside/outside dogs most of my life, I will always contain pets into the areas that are available for them but not a caged containment unless needed.
About: I have lived on a homestead in Wisconsin with a variety of different animals for the last 6 years, during which time I have developed a deep love for the bonding that happens between humans and dogs. I have been relied on for a variety of needs from house sitting, dog walking, potty breaks and feeding for my friends and neighbors. The last year and a half I have taken a deeper dive into learning more about 'balanced dog training'. I have learned more intimately the balance of love and respect that comes when boundaries and discipline are maintained with our beloved pets. I am reliable, timely, and easy to talk to. I am here to listen to your needs and the needs of your furry friend. I am currently unemployed and seeking a full-time job. As such, I am very available to handle pet care needs of all kinds. Don't hesitate to reach out and schedule a meet and greet! I currently am unable to host pets in my own home. I am, however, able to sit at a clients home. I will treat your home better than I treat my own. I will ask questions and make sure we are on the same page about standards of care and I will take seriously the need for clear and open communication.

“Dogs love Matt! Matt’s been walking my dog for months now and my pup comes back well exercised and happy every time. Matt’s also great navigating any dog reactivity, keeping calm if separation is needed and allowing play when appropriate. Send great pics and is always on time!”
Linsie M.
