“Tanya took care of my two dogs while I was out. She is simply amazing. Excellent communication and reliable. She is clearly a lover of all animals and treated my dogs like she’s known them forever. Will definitely book again”

About: No kids or pets of my own and a big Jeep means my outdoorsy lifestyle is open and flexible for your fur babies. I'm comfortable with dogs from all walks of life. I have confident experience with reactive dogs and big breeds especially. I'm a part time barista, working mostly evenings, so morning and mid-day walks work best for me. I am available for night walks after work as well, if that works for your schedule. Weekend boarding is best with advance notice, as I occasionally pick up Friday and Saturday shifts at the coffee shop. I live on the second floor with access to a fenced in backyard. Hardwood floors in home. No kids or other pets of my own. I do have houseplants if your dog is sensitive to soils, fungus, or has a history of plant eating. Crating is an option I'm comfortable with if that's what helps your furry friend feel safe, though my ideal set up is to share my whole space and enriching lifestyle with your pup, or to visit them in their home where they're already comfortable. I'm mobile with the Jeep as well, so we don't have to stick to my neighborhood if your dog is reactive and needs some extra space.

“Cole treated my two dogs like family. His care and communication—regarding their daily walks—were absolutely comforting. He's friendly, trustworthy, and dependable. I plan to rebook with him in the future.”

About: I’m a reliable and attentive pet sitter. I provide the exercise, affection, and midday relief they deserve. I treat every pet like they’re my own! Currently I’m working part time only on the weekends, so I have all the time during the week to care for your pets! I’m available Monday-Friday afternoons. My pets live the best life in my home. They are so spoiled. In your home, I care for them as my own and give them lots of love!

About: I have worked fully remote for 10 years now which has given me the opportunity to devote lots of time to my own dog as well as friends and family! Experience in senior care and medications including oral and injection. Being home every day gives me lots of time for potty breaks, walks and treats. I have a dog of my own, Fern, who is a sweet and mellow 12 yo Bichon Frise. I also live blocks from the lakefront in a very dog friendly part of Bay View! I have staked leashes in both the front and back yard and am always closely supervising potty breaks and time outside. I also have a pet camera so I’m able to monitor when I’m not home for a couple hours.

About: Hello, my name is Jalyn Krueger! I have been pet sitting for 4 years and have worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility for about 2 years! I have 2 dogs of my own. They are pitbull terriers and are sisters from the same litter!! I am currently working 30 hours a week at a daycare for children!! I am in school to be an elementary school teacher! I am free in the late afternoon and all weekends!! Throughout the week I am off on tuesdays and fridays! I have been dog sitting for 4 years, most of the time I have stayed in my clients home. I like to have a schedule and stick to it!! While out, you will definitely receive photos of your fur baby and updates so you are stress free:) I know being away from your four legged kiddos can be nerve wracking and I will help relieve those nerves as best as I can!!

About: I have always had a passion for animals since childhood. I began caring for pets in 2007 starting with my first family dog. I trained him and took care of him when he was only 8 weeks old. Now, I have an 10 year old dog I've had since she was 8 weeks and have had rabbits, cats, reptiles, birds, and more. I have been the go-to for friends and family for their pet needs; providing overnight care, dog walking, drop- in visits, and home/pet sitting. I pride myself in being the one to provide loving care to every pet as if they were my own. Animals bring me joy and I aim to provide them with love, happiness, and some fresh air whenever possible. Overall, I can promise we're all going to have a great time together. Fur sure! 😉 Transitioning out of a regular full time position, so this means more hours are avaliable to dedicated to your pets and their needs! Im also connected with a few other local sitters to help coordinate any walks and drop ins and back up. I also work on socialization and basic commands and leash training whenever possible. I make sure we have vet and emergency information available and at the ready. I like to keep pets in their normal routine whenever possible and keep parents up to date as well.

About: 🍂 FALL NEW CLIENT SPECIAL: Set up recurring weekly dog walks or drop-in visits (2+ days/week) and get $3 OFF every visit for your first month! Message us today to schedule your free Meet & Greet. . We are Craig & Mel, the owners of MKE Pup Pros LLC—fully insured and proudly based in Bay View. . As former pet parents, we deeply understand that your pets are an extension of your family. We pride ourselves on providing dependable, loving care when you can't, treating your pup exactly how we would want our own former pups to be cared for while we were away. . While many sitters offer casual care as a temporary hobby, we treat your pup's care as our professional business. Because we operate as a dedicated two-person team, your dog gets double the eyes, attention, and reliability. . Our Hands-On Experience & Specialty Care: • Anxious Pups & Slow-to-Warm Personalities: Trust cannot be rushed. Our naturally quiet demeanor and calm household have allowed us to have fantastic success with anxious, fear-aggressive, or unsure pups. We use a patient, low-pressure approach—respecting boundaries, reading subtle body language, and moving entirely at their pace until they feel safe. . • The Center of Attention (One Family at a Time): We love having dogs around but currently don't have pets of our own. Crucially, we only host dogs from one family at a time for boarding. Your pup will never have to share the spotlight or compete with strange dogs, making us the perfect choice for pups who want absolute focus and affection. . • Rescue & Fostering Background: We actively foster for local rescues, giving us deep, hands-on experience safely transitioning and comforting dogs of all temperaments, sizes, and sensitivity levels. . Premium Dog Walking & Daytime Drop-Ins In addition to overnight stays, we specialize in high-quality midday dog walking and neighborhood daytime drop-in visits right here in our local corridor. Whether your pup needs energy release while you are at work or a reliable routine while you are away for the day, we handle every walk ourselves. We focus heavily on safety, training consistency, and structural focus on the leash—ensuring your dog gets plenty of fresh air and a perfectly tailored neighborhood stroll. . About Our Home, Yard & House Rules We live in a cozy, air-conditioned single-family home in Bay View. The house features a partially fenced-in yard and several large windows perfect for pups to look out of. We also have a gated outdoor deck where we spend most days lounging together when the Milwaukee weather permits! Dogs are welcome to roam freely in the house while we are away if that is what they are accustomed to. . • Maintaining Your Home Rules: During your dog's stay or walk, we work strictly to enforce the same rules, training, and habits you use at home. Please note: To maintain our home boundaries, we do not allow dogs on our personal bed. If your pup is accustomed to sleeping in a human bed, we may not be the best operational fit. . • Mobility & Reactivity Reminders: Our house is a tri-level layout with multiple sets of stairs, so it is not a good fit for dogs with joint or mobility issues. Additionally, our neighbors have dogs; if your pup is reactive to seeing other dogs through a fence barrier, we may not be the right match. . The Heart Behind Our Business A few years ago, we lost our beloved pup, Jax. She was our world, and her passing left a big hole in our lives. After taking time to grieve, we found a path to healing by helping other dogs. Fostering and pet sitting became a natural extension of the love we want to give back to the neighborhood. We treat every dog like our own because of her memory—with patience, affection, and total attention to what makes their tail wag. . Our Smooth Onboarding Process Before taking on any new client, we require a no-obligation Meet & Greet at our home for boarding or yours for walks and drop-in's. This gives us a relaxed chance to learn more about your beloved family member, test comfort levels, and discuss any questions either of us has. . We ask that dog parents be completely honest about their pup's habits and quirks! The absolute best, most successful sits we have ever had are the ones where owners provide detailed information on how their pup previously responded to unfamiliar places. The more we know, the better we can protect and spoil them! We are available from 6am to 9pm for walks and drop in's 7 days a week. For boarding, one of us currently works at home so your dog will not be left alone while we are at work. We will work to keep your dog on his typical schedule. We are early risers so morning drop-offs are no problem for us. We treat the pets we care for just like we would if they were our own. We understand that someone's pet is an extension of their family.

About: I have 2 1/2years experience with dog care as well as experience with puppies. I can potty train, crate train, basic recall training. Experience in med administration. I'm good with physical activity and cuddle bugs I am available for walks & drop ins after 4pm during the week and anytime on the weekends. Im available to pet sit any time as long as pets can be alone for few hours while I'm at work. I can pet sit during the weekend full days. When caring for pets in their own environment, I prioritize consistency and respect for their routines and the client’s home. I maintain the pet’s normal schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I provide companionship and stimulation while keeping the home secure and tidy. I send regular updates with photos or notes so owners feel confident and informed. For pets with medical or behavioral needs, I carefully follow all instructions and monitor for any changes.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life — in 28 years, there have only been 7 days I've lived without one! I grew up in a home with five dogs, including four Bernese Mountain Dogs and a Sheltie. My family also responsibly bred Berners and Shelties, and I grew up around training, proper care, and learning to understand each dog's individual personality. Today, my own dog is still a huge part of my life. I also prepare homemade food for my dog and have learned a lot through that experience about paying attention to ingredients, sensitivities, age, energy levels, and individual needs. If your dog has a unique routine, dietary preferences, or special considerations, I'm happy to listen and follow the routine you've established for them. I'm comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities, routines, and needs, and I believe patience and consistency go a long way. Most importantly, I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I treat every dog like they're part of the family — with plenty of attention, patience, playtime, and care while you're away. 🐾 Pets are already a big part of my everyday life. I have always had dogs and currently have three cats of my own, so feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and keeping up with their routines are naturally part of my day. I’m also intentional about making time for the pets I care for. I’d rather give a pet my full attention than simply “check a box” and leave. I’m happy to work around their normal routine and give them the consistency they’re used to while their family is away. 🐾 I start by learning your pet’s normal routine — feeding times, walks, medications, favorite activities, boundaries, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. Then I stick to those instructions as closely as possible. I believe good pet care is about paying attention to the little things. I watch for changes in appetite, energy, behavior, bathroom habits, or anything else that seems unusual, and I’ll communicate with you if I notice something worth knowing about. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable, not like their routine has suddenly been turned upside down. Whether they want a long walk and lots of playtime or prefer to curl up somewhere quiet, I’ll meet them where they are. 🐶🐱

“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!”

“Kim was always punctual, polite, and professional on her walks with Wren! She even put in the extra effort to continue with her on-leash training plan with a clicker, after I gave her the instructions. I’d be glad to have her take care of my fur baby again!”

About: I love animals and have always had them. My friends reach out to me for pet sitting because they know I will take the best care of their fur babies! I have a teacup Yorkie and a cat so if you have a friendly pet, they are welcome to stay by me, but I am also retired so can stay by you if that's more convenient. I am very flexible! I am retired so have all day & evening to spend with your fur babies. I love to walk so would be sure to take your fur babies outside for fresh air any time of the year. I live in a safe area and have beautiful paths for dog walking any time of day. If your pet likes car rides, I love the beach & the water so could have lots of fun taking them wherever they like to go!

“Kailey has been amazing for our puppy Cooper!!! She leaves very detailed notes for us on the walks and we LOVE the pics she takes for us! She understands his quirks and works so well with him!!!”

About: Currently an owner of 2 dogs, one that is senior. I’ve had dogs my entire life and absolutely love them! New to the area and would love to come care for your pet and meet new friends, furry and not! I work from home and travel about once a month. I am fairly flexible to pop in during the day and let dogs out, feed them and take them on walks! I go above and beyond for my personal pets and I would do the same for yours! They are special and I want to be sure they have the best life while we have them!
