Dog Walking Root Creek

About: I am new to Milwaukee and look forward to providing reliable, professional care for your pet. I offer dog walking and house sitting services in your home or overnight boarding and doggie day care options in our home. And if your dog has special care needs I can accommodate one dog at a time for a more comfortable, individualized experience. You can expect a free Meet & Greet with all new clients so we can review your dog's routine, go over your expectations, and decide if I am a good fit for you. You'll receive regular photo updates throughout your pet's stay. Please reach out with any questions! I am available for services throughout the week and on the weekends part-time with some flexibility depending on the dates. I can accommodate longer stays based on circumstances and care requirements, happy to discuss further! I will follow the owner's guidelines and treat your house and pets with respect. I use a common sense approach to safety and will stay vigilante when spending time with your loved one. I believe in clear communication and am happy to update you as much as needed. Thank you allowing me to help relieve some of the petcare duties for your dog or cat. My personal goal is to keep your pet comfortable and happy while you are away!

About: I have a way with animals. Pets that don't like people typically tend to be my best friends. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My goal is to be friends with every animal I meet. You have fun and I will make sure your pet does as well. I work full time in sales, so I am quite flexible. I can typically work my schedule to fit around what I need to do. I am happy to drop in and hung out with your pet while you are away. I love to go for walks, so I will be happy to tire a pet out with some good walk time.

“Vanessa has been walking my dog regularly for several weeks now and I couldn’t be happier with her help. She’s been very patient and loving with my dog, flexible on the schedule, and provides great walk reports and pictures. Thanks, Vanessa!”

“Mary has been so helpful and supportive the last two weeks. I had a couple of deaths in my family and Mary was able to walk my dog and check in on her when I had to fly home for a funeral. She’s so sweet and thoughtful and it was so great to know my pup was being so well taken care of! She’s the best ❤️”

“Julie was great with my elderly dog! She was kind and personable and always cheerful! I appreciated her taking such good care of Rogue and walking her in treacherous conditions like ice and snow! I’d definitely recommend her and use her services again :)”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. Recently, my husband and I, lost our beautiful friend, Freckles. She was 14.5 years old. I am retired, and want to help people who struggle with finding someone reliable to care for their furry friends. I've been there! I'm currently working 1 to 2 days per week, very part time hours. Would like to be with dogs occasionally, since my husband and I are not going to get another pet at this time in our lives. I do have a fenced in backyard, not sure if I will be doing daycare or overnights at my house right now. New to Rover, so want to start our with dog walking and dog house visits.

About: I’ve been a devoted animal lover and pet owner for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to caring for pets with unique personalities and needs, animals have always been a huge part of my life. Currently, I share my home with a lovable, mischievous hound mix who keeps me on my toes and a cat who completely stole my heart. A few years ago, I lost my soul dog, Jersey, and that experience deepened my understanding of the special bond we share with our pets. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave them behind and trust someone else with their care. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, affection, attention, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, playtime, cuddles, a walk, or simply a friendly face while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and communication throughout my visits. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that often allows me to accommodate drop-in visits and pet care needs throughout the day. I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care and building a trusting relationship with both you and your pets. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand! 🐾❤️ I work from home and have a decently flexible schedule. I have a young son and pets of my own but thankfully I share these responsibilities with my rockstar husband so I will be able to care for your fur babies. I understand that having a stranger in your home can be a little uncomfortable. I will 💯 respect your space and keep things clean in order for your while you are gone. Please let me know your preferences for my stay.

About: I work as a nurse - I love humans and dogs! You will find me in the woods hiking with my pups or getting our steps in throughout the neighborhood. Dog walking is my greatest stress relief! I am currently in limbo between jobs for the next month. I would love to get out and spend my days walking dogs while I had the opportunity. Open to anytime of the day. Leashed walks and play time in a fenced in yard. My goal is to keep your pet safe and well cared for at all times.

“Stephanie was very responsive and quick to text back when I had a family emergency and needed someone to walk and let my dog out while I was at work and wouldn't be able to come home right after. Great pics of him on a fun walk, thanks!”

About: I’ve lived with cats and dogs of many different breeds, and loved them all. Let me help out with your pet and they’ll probably like me too! Currently I have sporadic trips planned until I start classes at the end of August, then my availability will greatly differ but I’m not sure of the exact hours. I can’t care for pets in my home due to one of my cats being very unfriendly, but I will take great care in your home if necessary!

About: My children and I love dogs! I have been around dogs my entire life. I had a dog growing up who I adored. She was part of our family so I do understand how important it is that you feel comfortable with your dog sitter while you are away. I live in West Allis in a 3 bedroom townhouse with a decent size unfenced front yard and several parks in the neighborhood that we go to often. I would love to provide a caring environment for your dog. I offer overnight stays in my home, drop in visits, and dog walking services. I am more than happy to send daily photos, text updates, or phone calls regarding your furry family member's care. Look forward to meeting you and your pet.

About: Nothing probably sets me apart from other sitters. I always carry a mini journal and pen around with me to jot down notes or things I need to remember, especially if there are specific instructions, like dietary or playtime needs for pets. I usually am the one who takes my family dog for a walk every day since I'm the only one in my family who has the most amount of free time on their hands. If I ever dog sat for a friend's pet in my home, I usually don't really change my routine but add the necessary care requirements for both dogs. When I'm staying over at a friend's or family member's house while watching their pet, I still do a similar routine when I'm at home, but I stay on high alert and make sure I don't leave snacks or anything I bring anywhere the dog can reach.

“Alexis was very accommodating right from the beginning! Not only was she able to fit me in the same week while meeting my dog prior, but she made sure to let me know when she was arriving to my apartment along with sending a picture at the end. I would definitely recommend and plan to use her again!”

“Amanda was so quick to reply and helped me out last minute. She did a great job dealing with our stubborn but sweet dog!”

About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends for years because I actually enjoy the 'tricky' stuff. From helping my own senior dog with bladder issues to winning over an abused, reactive Rottweiler, I have a lot of heart for pets that need a little extra patience. I’m also totally comfortable with bearded dragons and cats! I’m used to walking dogs in areas without fences, so I’m very careful on the leash and always keep safety first. I’ve had to clean up after bad sitters so I'll make sure your house stays spotless and your pets stay happy while you’re gone! Animals are a huge part of my daily life, so I build my schedule around making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m currently available Monday-Sunday with Flexible Hours and am always happy to help with last-minute requests or holiday bookings when you're in a pinch. Which is perfect for seniors needing extra potty breaks or reactive pups who need a calm, un-rushed walks. I make your pet's routine my top priority every single day! Safety is Always my top priority, but keeping your pets happy is a close second! Whether I’m hanging out with your cat, dog, or bearded dragon (exc. I stick strictly to the routine you’ve set so they feel totally secure while you're gone. Since I’m used to walking pups in areas without fences, I’m always extra careful to double-check leashes and harnesses before we head out the door. I’m also a bit of a neat freak so I’ll make sure your home is pet-proofed and leave it even cleaner than I found it. I’m a big believer in open communication, so expect plenty of photo updates of your best friends (scales or fur!) so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands!

“Hailey is a pleasure to work with. She responds quickly to communication and adeptly rolls with the unique dynamic between my 6 year old and 6 month old dogs. She follows instructions to a tee and gives the dogs awesome belly rubs. Thank you, Hailey!”

About: I’ve worked with animals my entire life, growing up with pets to helping neighbors, family, and friends with pets. I have worked in pet stores and vet clinics and lots of pet sitting! I work at a school part time and I am looking for a side hustle that I will enjoy and love during the summer while school is out and even when school is back! I am super open for the next month or two! I make sure all the needs given by the owner is done efficiently and thoroughly as well as giving the love and affection needed for the pet!

About: Hi, I’m Ashling! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, spent my teenage years as the go-to neighborhood babysitter and pet sitter, and today, I’m a proud pet parent to two wonderful Wheatens of my own. ​Because of my personal experience with dogs of all backgrounds, I understand that every animal is unique. My philosophy is to always meet animals where they are at—building trust at their pace while providing a safe, confident, and structured environment. I'm currently accepting weekday appointments for now and will accept some overnights and weekends. I have a flexible schedule at this point and will be able to care for pets multiple times throughout the day and night. I will treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect and try to follow the schedule and routine to make sure your pet is comfortable in their home while you're away. Their safety and comfort is my highest priority.

“Liz is the BEST!! Maggie is a very anxious dog, so usually it takes her awhile to warm up to people. Liz immediately recognized this and brought all the right treats to win over Maggie. She usually isn’t food motivated, but for Liz she is! Liz is very responsive and I’ve had no problem (or even worries) about a no show. The report cards I get of Maggie make me so happy and help get me through my day. If you need someone to take care of your dog, reach out to Liz!”
