Lenys was wonderful with Tucker! She was super flexible and understanding with a scheduling miscommunication on my end, I super appreciated that. She was also very responsive and kept me updated the whole time I was out

Could not recommend more! Was amazing with my dog and when I got stuck and had to stay an extra day got me out of a tight spot by continuing to look after my dog! I would recommend to anyone and will be using again!

Katelyn is great! We’ve had her to our house twice now to stay overnight with our girls. She sends updates throughout the stay and our girls always seem to be very happy after a weekend with her.

We hired Cynthia to house sit for our dog, cat, and chickens for over a week. She did a great job! She spent a ton of time at the house, sent consistent updates, and took great care of our babies. We had our outgoing flight delayed by over a day, and Cynthia was flexible and understanding.

I loved Alyssa's help taking care of my dog ​​Tango. She did everything I asked her to do. She was very responsible and my dog ​​Tango loved her. During my trip, she sent me photos of Tango's walks with her in the park. 100% recommended.

It was our second time hiring Elizabeth, another positive experience. My pooch likes his walks and we are grateful she is ok with taking him. She is great with giving updates and sending photos. Upon return the house was just as we left it.

About: I've had dogs ever since I can remember. I was brought up to love, respect and care for animals and that's why I got into vetmed back in my home country. I had to stop my studies to come here but I haven't stopped wanting to help. As a pet parent, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to support you and help you care for your furry babies. I have pet and house sitted for friends and family in the past. I have pet sitted cats and dogs but I'm open to help with small species and exotic pets. Rest assured I'll do everything exactly like instructed by you, always with lots of love and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I'm currently staying at home so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups, take them on walks and snuggle with them. I have two small dogs that can keep your puppy company and we also have a very walkable neighborhood with some green areas we could explore together.

Catie is a gem! We met twice before she stayed with our two small dogs for 4 nights. Catie updated us frequently and left our house spotless… and our dogs love her! She is kind, highly reliable, a great communicator and is a truly lovely person. So happy to have found her!

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. They show us so much love. Who are we not to give it back in return. Since the passing of our long time dog (Roc,15) we’ve been watching our friends and family dogs while they’re out of town. In each case the owners return with their dogs a little hesitant about wanting to return home. LOL. I work from home and I have no plans of switching to another job that would require me to go into the office. Therefore, I have plenty of time to play with your big and little babies. I also like to take walks at minimum twice a day. This is a perfect time for your fur babies to stretch their legs. After a nice long walk I clean their paws to make sure they leave the yucky stuff outside. I have a designated area where they can sleep. However, I like to keep them close to me during the day while I’m working. I think it sets them up for a positive visit. They immediately become part of the family. I also have the flexibility to take them out throughout the day. There is a highly recommended veterinarian within a two minute driving distance and maybe a ten minute walk in the event of an emergency.

About: I’ve been looking after fluffy frens of all shapes and sizes from a young age. My time doing a full house/dog sitting gig was for my grandparents and their French bulldog, Sugar (miss you, Sugs!). Since then I have been the go-to for my friends and family for taking care of their for legged family. I make sure your fury family gets the love and care they need, whether you just have one smol dog or a pack of greyhounds. I currently had a stretch of rough health luck, but my ails are your pups gain! I’m currently on the mend, and it’s going well, but between jobs, so my schedule is wide open. I’ll have the time to give your pups the TLC they deserve! Currently unavailable to board pets at my house, but I will make sure to treat all pets in a safe and caring way. I’ll treat them like a newborn baby, because hey, in a way they are!

About: 🐾 Buddy’s Boarding — Where Pets Feel at Home 🌈 Hi! We’re Percy and Darik, two experienced pet lovers offering premium dog boarding from our home in Brown Deer. I’m a professional dog handler with experience working with hundreds of dogs of all breeds and temperaments, and Darik works from home full time. Between the two of us, pups are rarely ever alone and always cared for with confidence, attention, and a whole lot of love. 🐶 Why pet parents love Buddy’s Boarding: • Spacious fenced in yard for play and potty breaks • Flexible pick-up/drop-off times with clear communication • Convenient location — just 10 minutes from I-43 and Hwy 41 • Quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with sidewalks and green space • Two attentive, dog-experienced sitters under one roof ✨ Our Story ✨ Buddy’s Boarding is named after the dog that started it all. At 10 years old, I found Buddy as a stray near my dad’s business and begged my mom to let us keep him. She said yes, and from that moment on, my bond with animals was sealed. That connection still fuels the love and care we give every dog who stays with us. Whether your pup is active and playful or chill and cuddly, we tailor each stay to their needs. Let us know your dog’s routine and preferences, we’re happy to accommodate. 🟢 Drop Off & Pick Up Windows 🟢 Monday through Friday 8am to 8pm Weekends 9am to 7pm Pick ups or drop offs outside of the window can be accommodated for an additional fee. We can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home. 🐾 👉 Send us a request to get started! We’d love to meet your pup! Schedule Caring for dogs is our full time focus. Darik provides Rover pet care full time, and I am home the majority of the time, aside from a short shift on Thursday mornings from 6am to noon. This allows us to maintain a calm, attentive environment where dogs are rarely alone and always have someone nearby to meet their needs. Safety We prioritize safety by pet-proofing our home, keeping hazardous items out of reach, and supervising pets at all times. Whether it’s backyard play or a leashed walk, we ensure dogs are always in secure, pet-friendly environments. We also tailor safety measures to each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Trust Building trust with both pets and their people is at the heart of what we do. We take time to understand each dog’s routine and preferences, and we maintain regular communication with pet parents — sharing updates and photos so they always feel connected and confident in our care. Environment Our home is clean, cozy, and designed with dogs in mind — with plenty of space to move, comfy spots to rest, and loving attention throughout the day. We create a calm, positive environment and adjust our approach to meet each dog where they’re at.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years for family and friends - young dogs, senior dogs, and cats all included! My senior dog recently passed away and I am looking forward to spending time with animals again. I recently graduated college and moved back home so I am currently working part time as a nanny as I figure out what I want to do with my life. I have lots of extra time and love to go on walks! I will care for pets in your home as I am living at home with my parents right now. I want to be respectful of whatever you/your animal needs. Depending on the day I am needed I won’t be able to stay with the animal all day but usually the longest I ever need to step out to nanny is 4-5 hours.

Anya was an AMAZING cat sitter. She provided consistent and regular updates with cute videos and photos. Additionally, after not seeing one of our cats for a few days, she went out of her way to locate and find the cat (who is very good at hiding).

Jackie was so wonderful in helping take care of our cat and dog while we were away for a week! She’s incredibly kind, and it was clear that our animals took to her almost immediately. Jackie spent some time at our house during the week to keep our cat company, while our dog slept at her house. We came back to our home looking just as we left it. Highly recommend an would use again in a heartbeat!
