Travis was amazing with our dog Lady. Lady doesn't get along with just anybody but Travis and her hit it off right off the bat. He is professional, experienced and respectful. We loved the updates and the photos of Lady while we were away on vacation. We would hire him to watch Lady again in a heartbeat!

About: I have taken care of many animals for 10+ years. I’ve raised 5 dogs, 3 birds and even a cat. I make sure they all get the love and attention that every pet needs and I will with yours too! I can’t wait to spoil them. I attend college at UWM and currently have classes monday and wednesday! I get out of my classes at 2 pm both days so it shouldn’t be a worry! I will give attention, love and care to any pet. I will gladly play with them, take them on walks, provide them with food and even take them outside. I treat every pet as I would want to be treated as one. (Wouldn’t that be awesome)

About: I’ve been caring for pets for the past 13 years, starting with walking my neighbors’ dogs multiple times a week and stopping by to let them out when their owners were away overnight. Since then, animal care has been a constant part of my life. I’ve helped care for my own dogs in every way—from off-leash walks and swimming to bathing and attending vet appointments. My family and I have also fostered dogs ranging from 8-week-old puppies to senior pups, giving me experience with dogs of all ages and needs. In addition to dogs and cats, I have extensive experience working with horses. I also have a laid-back tabby cat of my own who’s more like a dog than a cat. I’m a huge animal lover and always care for pets as if they were my own—providing the same attention, patience, and love I’d want someone to give my animals. I’m currently a full-time student at UWM, but I have a very flexible schedule. I attend classes three days a week, and most of my coursework can be done on my laptop. This allows me to spend plenty of quality time with your pet throughout the day and easily accommodate feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I understand that for most people, pets are family, and I treat them with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own animals. When I’m caring for pets , I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routines so they feel secure and well cared for at all times.

Carrianne did a wonderful job caring for my dog when I went out of town for a weekend. Penny takes some time to warm up to people and Carrianne was very patient and understanding throughout that process. She followed the care instructions I left and sent daily updates with important information (e.g., walks, eating habits, general behavior) with photos. She also stayed overnight in my apartment and left everything really tidy. I couldn't be happier with the care Penny received and will definitely rebook for future travel plans!

Hi Michelle, Thank you for taking such great care of Una (dog) and Larry (cat) this weekend. Larry usually hides from strangers, so the fact that she sat out with you shows how comfortable they both were in your company. We appreciated the consistent updates and photos, as well as you taking Una for a walk. Thank you also for cleaning Larry's box.  The house looks wonderful, and both pets seem very relaxed. You are a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend your services to anyone. We look forward to booking you again in the future.

Jessica stayed at our home for the week and took the best care of Pickles and Brownie and allowed us to enjoy vacation to the fullest! She checked in throughout the day and sent lots of pictures. We never worried about the boys knowing they were being taken care of and given love while we were away. Definitely recommend Jessica for any walks or extended stays needed to care for your fur babies! So thankful!

Marilia communicated often sending updates and pictures, and was very open to our instructions and the pets’ daily routines. We felt good that Marilia would care for them well while we were able to focus on our flight process without having to worry if the pets were eating and going potty when they needed to. Thank you so much for looking after them!

Sarah did an excellent job. Cooper seemed to really take to her and seemed so happy in all of the pictures and videos she sent us. We have never really left him with anyone in the past and we were so relieved that she was so wonderful with him. She left our house in perfect shape and we really appreciated that. I would recommend Sarah to anyone in need of a sitter for their dog. Phil and Arlene Wesson
