Cayla is an amazing dog caretaker! She has a genuine love for animals, and it is apparent in her interactions with them. My dog is my baby, there is not many people besides my family and closest friends I trust with him, but Cayla is someone I can say I truly trust to take the best care of my pup! She makes each animal feel loved and special. I would very highly recommend Cayla!

Kam has been very dependable and great with Riley. Today our camera caught her turning around to wave at him thru the window as she left the house. So cute!

About: I’m a guy who falls in love with dogs instantly. Don’t want them back? No worries! Dogs instantly want to be my best friend and I’ve never met a dog that I didn’t like or that didn’t like me. I work from home. My dogs are part of the family. I would take care of your dogs as if they were my own children. I have a doggy door and outside kennel for the dogs to use as needed. I’m also happy to take dogs on a walk and my wife is a super dog walker. We have two dogs-a Pomeranian who is all love and a lab who’s an old girl but who is the best dog you’ll ever meet. I understand dogs. How they communicate, how they operate. I know how to get them to develop good habits.

Emily is fantastic! Our dog can get nervous around new people, so she took the time out of her day to visit before we even had walks scheduled to say “hi” to our dog and get him comfortable before she took him for midday walks. Punctual, flexible (we added a day on at the last minute when travel plans went awry), and clearly a great fit with our dog.

About: I have been a dog lover my whole life! Dogs have been apart of my family since I was kid. We have loved a wide variety of breeds from small dogs to large dogs. I also have experience as a dog walking volunteer at the Racine County Humane society! Through this position and my home life I have walked dogs from 5-100+lbs. My family calls me the dog whisperer and I've always felt so at peace walking or spending time with pups! I am a recent grad with my Masters in Physician Assistant Studies. I work as an Emergency Medicine PA offering me flexibility with my schedule. I would love to help care for your pets in my off time. Animals bring me so much joy and I will treat your pet as one of my own! I am able to work with pets of high energy as well as more docile pups! I am comfortable using crates as well as kennels.

About: I am a licensed substance abuse counselor in-training and I have taken care of animals of all kinds - dogs/puppies, cats/kittens, horses, chickens, parrots (parakeets, macaws, lovebirds), fish, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.! I have done pet sitting and dog walking on the side for many years. My mother is a veterinarian and has her own business as a veterinary behaviorist, so I have a lot of knowledge in animal care and behavior. Since I recently got a job, I am no longer available during the week, but I am still able to do drop-in visits and walks on Saturdays! (No later than 3pm) For drop-ins, I always make sure to take ample time to play with the animal and spend as much time with them as possible. Being the daughter of a veterinarian/veterinary behaviorist, I know all about body language and how to tell if your dog is scared or uncomfortable and how to handle it, as well as how to safely handle a situation where I am approached by an unfriendly dog while walking another dog.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—over 33 years of experience as a dedicated pet parent to dogs, cats, and even crabs and lizards. My deep love for animals led me to work as a veterinary assistant, where I gained hands-on experience with everything from basic care to administering medication and recognizing signs of illness. Whether your pet needs a playful walk, quiet companionship, or a little extra TLC, I bring patience, compassion, and confidence to every visit. I truly treat every animal like family. I work full-time but have a very pet-friendly schedule! I work remotely from home on Thursdays and Fridays, so I’m fully available and present from Thursday through Sunday with no interruptions—your pet will have plenty of attention and company during those days. From Monday to Wednesday, I work a regular 8–5 schedule outside the home, but I always come home mid-day for a full hour-long lunch break to let pets out, go for a walk, or give them some love and attention. I make sure their needs are met and they’re never left alone for too long. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. In my home, we have a cozy and pet-friendly environment with a small fenced-in yard perfect for safe outdoor play. I share my home with two friendly dogs, a sweet cat, an animal-loving teenager, and my equally pet-obsessed boyfriend—so your furry friend will never be short on attention or companionship. Whether your pet prefers quiet spaces or social time, I can easily adjust the environment. Rooms can be closed off for privacy or opened up for free roaming, depending on your pet’s personality and needs. I strive to make every pet feel at home, cared for, and secure—whether they’re here for a short stay or a longer visit.

About: I have had dogs as pets since a child and love animals of any kind. I have cared for dogs and cats along with dog walking for many years, including puppies and reactive dogs. I have a reactive dog myself and have experience walking and caring for reactive and anxious dogs. I have experience with a prong collar. Your pet will be my main focus and priority and I will love them like my own. I am currently a stay at home mom and can be flexible with my schedule. Just let me know what you are looking for and I can make arrangements. I take care of animals like they are my own, they will have all of my focus and attention and love. Drop in visits and walking services available.

About: I am a college graduate and interior designer with a passion for creativity and unwavering love for animals. While bustling a flock of 20 chickens and 2 ducks, I am designing the most stylish coop you’ve ever seen! Additionally, I have 3 dogs and 2 cats at home. Join me on this journey of innovative design and animal appreciation! I currently work full time, Monday through Friday, however I will be working from home two days a week. Early mornings, evenings, or weekends work best! At home, there is a fenced yard and 2 out of the 3 pups that would love to play! The farm, where the chickens are kept has a very spacious environment to get some exercise, as well as many trails around the area.

About: Hi! I have taken care of cats, dogs, chickens & lizards. I feed them, enjoy walking them & spending time with all of them. Thanks. I currently work full time and this is something I do part time, on the side. My full time job is flexible but I would need notice to adjust my work schedule.I can’t promise I can do this all the time… I like to do a meet n greet first so I can meet the family, let the pets sniff me & have some interaction. I follow the regular routine when I am in the clients home. If they are crated, I crate them. If they need to be let out in the middle of night & that is what the owner does, I let pet out…I make sure they are well taken care of. I treat them as they are my own.

About: I have had and cared for dogs my entire life. I often dog-sit for friends and family, and I have had 6 foster dogs in the past! I’m familiar with taking care of old dogs and those that need medications as well. I recently finished graduate school and am applying for full-time positions. That being said, I am home a majority of the time to give your dog plenty of attention! I have one small, friendly dog that would keep your pup company! I allow my dog on furniture and do not crate her, so I am willing to care for your dog in the way you prefer (crate, free roam, etc.)

About: I volunteer at a dog shelter that deals with all ages and comfortably around new people. This allows me to pick up on dogs needs and adjust accordingly. I am currently working full time 4 days a week. This allows me a more flexible schedule to help take care of dogs through the week and weekends. I have experience with dogs that bolt when doors are opened outside and know how to block them properly. When helping with potting breaks they can be play breaks to get rid of excess energy. I have experienced teaching dogs to walk on a leash with and without a harness.
