“Fawn is amazing! She always sends multiple pictures and plays with my cat during her drop-in visits. She also made sure to check all water stations and food containers.”
“Haley was fantastic and took amazing care of my cat! I sincerely appreciated her attentiveness to Gus’s needs and her communication while I was away.”

“Marta is great”
About: I’ve had at least two dogs since I was born, from big to small, old to puppies, hyper to aloof, I’ve had experience with all of it. Currently I have a puppy who I got at a couple months old, a seven year old lab, and a 14 year old husky who I’ve had since she was 1. I have experience taking care of senior dogs and being patient with them, but also with keeping up with the energy of puppies, especially a husky puppy. I can manage multiple pets at once and love taking them on long walks or playing in the yard. Currently, I work part time at a daycare so I’m comfortable in high energy and high stress situations. I’m well prepared to take care of any dog and with my love for all pets I could ensure a safe and fun environment. I work part time at a daycare, 8am-5:30pm at least 3 days a week. My weekends are very free since I never work in the weekends, and I can take care of pets before and after work, or very briefly during my lunch break. When I’m out of town I’ll let clients know in advance. But besides work, my schedule is very flexible. I won’t be able to have pets over at my home but at a clients home I can ensure I always keep an eye on them. I can take them for long or short walks depending on what’s needed for that pet, and I can play with them in the yard or in the home. I’m also comfortable clean up after them and administering some medication.
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats since before I can remember, and I can never say no to a stray animal in need. All of my pets have been rescues, and I love that I’ve been able to spoil each of them with a loving home and plenty of toys. I can’t resist petting any animal I cross, and I have a special place in my heart for pets with quirks or attitudes. Needless to say, I have always been the go-to for my friends, neighbors, and family to watch and care for their pets as they know I would love them just like my own! I am a medical student that has a flexible schedule to walk, check-on, and care for neighborhood pets. I can typically work around my school work to help out when needed! I have a cat, so I am comfortable inviting a cat into my home and providing necessary services with my own supplies. If your pet is more comfortable in their own space, I am more than willing to do drop in visits! Owner suggestions and directions for specific pet needs are always welcome and encouraged.
About: I grew up with multiple dogs, cats, fish, and a few exotic pets. I have always loved watching, playing, and caring for pets. When I moved away for college, I stayed closed to home and did multiple check-ins throughout the week and occasionally would spend a few nights with parents pets to take care of them. I have experience with caring for a dog with epilepsy, including watching over her during seizures and giving her medications. I also have experience with reactive dogs and understanding their boundaries and how to care for them. I am a student, with multiple hours free during my day and at night. I own my own car and have the ability to drive anywhere in a reasonable distance. I have one cat who I am the primary care-taker for. I clean his litter-box everyday, feed him twice a day, and make sure to play with him in short-spurts multiple times a day. In terms of watching dogs I love to go outside, weather permitting, and play catching in a yard or just simply go for a walk on a leash.
About: I have had a strong love and passion for animals ever since I was young, and have taken care of many different animals throughout my life. I have completed 1 year of Veterinary Technician School, and had experience working in a Veterinary setting. I am very proficient in the care of dogs and cats, old and young! I am excited to start working with you and your pet(s)! If you have any questions feel free to reach out! I am looking to provide my services part time, I have the most availability during the week and some weekends! I do not do overnight stays but can check in frequently, depending on your pets needs. As a sitter for Rover, my main focus is your pets safety, comfort, and happiness. I create a calm, secure environment where your pet will feel loved and at home. You can trust that I will treat your pet just as my own, keeping their well-being my top priority!
About: I grew up with a fur baby, pet sitting and walking for my neighbors, and helped train my parents two new mini bernedoodles! 🐾 Pets have always had a special place in my heart and I love to show them love! I am a recent college graduate with lots of free time on my hands this summer before I soon begin working as a nurse! :) When caring for your pets, my priority is their safety, comfort, and happiness! I will follow your instructions carefully; such as feeding/walk schedules, medication needs, and favorite toys or activities! Please share anything special you would like me to know your pet and their typical routine 🤍🦮🐩
“Lilly was so sweet. I was grateful on how reliable she was with her checkups on my cat.”
About: Experience training small and large breeds. Compassionate, patient, and have a great intuition for what dogs need:)) love cuddles, playtime, walking, grooming, literally everything a dog could need. Any time Mon-Fri and most Saturday & Sundays! I work remotely & have a super flexible schedule. I have a car as well:) So excited! Necessities first: water, food, going potty. Then a whole lotta love and play time. The occasional grooming and snack time is another plus:) Love walks and hikes.
“Thank you so much! Really appreciate making time to watch JG and especially so last minute! It made me so happy and laugh to see all the pictures and little updates.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have always enjoyed taking care of them. I've taken care of old dogs, puppies, and dogs in their prime. I love taking dogs on walks, especially if I can run with them. Getting outside is great. I'm a busy guy, but any second I'm not working is a waste. I work overnights during weekdays and part-time jobs every day except Sunday. I hope pet care can fill the gaps in my schedule. I don't board now because of the rules of my landlord, but I will stay in other homes and get dogs outside whenever I can. I love taking dogs to the park and getting them exercise.
“Emma took great care of our cat while we were away and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Cora did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Phoebe. She made the effort to come over a couple of days ahead of time to meet with Phoebe and myself. Phoebe warmed up to her immediately and I knew it was a perfect fit. Her knowledge of dogs and her ability to relate and understand Phoebe's quirks impressed me and it shows that she really, truly, cares about pets. She was extremely communicative, provided photos and updates throughout my trip, and asked great questions that helped Phoebe stay in her routine and comfortable while I was away. She put me at ease, knowing that my dog will be well taken care of. If you are looking for a genuine, understanding and awesome sitter, Cora is your best bet! Thanks so much Cora!”
About: I have extensive experience working with dogs of all sizes and energies as a dog walker and sitter in the Milwaukee area. I put my full attention on your pets unique needs and love them as my own. I'm also knowledgeable in pet nutrition, enrichment, behavior, and training from working at a boutique pet store. I’m a graduate student, so my schedule is very flexible in the summer! I have an open schedule and hope to fill it with spending time with your pets! Your pets comfort and happiness is my first priority as a sitter. I will make our time together easy, natural, and fun while your pet gets the care they need.
About: I have grown up living with 2+ large dogs in the house always. I am a huge dog lover and love animals in general. Recently I have also become a cat owner. I’m currently a full-time student and part-time employee in a management position. I am looking to get a little more income and broaden my experience with pet care. I will not provide in home pet care. I will instead be able to come to clients homes to care for their pets. Thank you!
“Elizabeth arrived on time and took our puppy for a brisk walk to wear off some energy despite the cold. She provided plenty of pictures and was in contact throughout the check ins. We will rebook again.”

About: Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile. My dog experience goes back 15 years now. I have handled, walked and trained with all types of dogs. Volunteering at various shelters has given me valuable experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and needs. In 2021 I received my dog trainer certificate from Animal Behavior College. Since that time I've continued to learn about canine behavior from Leerburg University. If your dog has been too difficult for most sitters, give me a try. I'm confident I can help you with whatever your dog needs. I've given dogs all types of medical treatment including injections. We won't accept more than one family of dogs at any one time. Reach out for a meet and greet today and be on your way to peace of mind with your dogs next sitter. Thanks again for checking out my profile and I hope to be talking to you and your best friend/friends soon. I'm hoping to make canine boarding/training my new job. Right now I'm on sabbatical from my corporate job. That means I have plenty of time and energy to make sure your dog has the best stay possible. We have an unfenced yard. I prefer to exercise dogs by walking them, but will do anything to keep your friends on their own routine.
