Dog Sitting in Shorewood

“I would highly recommend Mackenzie’s services! She took great care of my senior kitty during a week of drop-in visits and was very attentive to detail, trustworthy, and kind. I also really appreciated that she was willing to stick to a specific schedule and routine for my cat, even over the holidays. Thank you so much, Mackenzie!”

“Jennifer did an amazing job watching our cats, including managing special diets and medications. Great communication and great attention to detail. Her kindness shows in how she interacted with us and our pets. We will absolutely seek her out again in the future!”

About: I've had a lot of experience watching dogs and cats for many family members and friends. I also have experience working at an animal shelter for many months. I'm confident in my abilities to handle any kind of temperament and create a comfortable environment for every pet! When I have done drop-in visits for pet sitting, I like to do up to three visits each day. Morning, early afternoon, and evening are the times I typically try to check in. With each visit, I follow their food schedule, take dogs for potty breaks (and/or check cat litter boxes), spend a good amount of time playing with each pet, and cleaning up before leaving. At a client's home, if there isn't a yard for their dog(s) and they need time outside, I typically map out a trail for walking/potty breaks. Before taking any action, I like to ask the owner's preference on their pets' comfortability in where they walk or spend their time.

“Alicia did an excellent job taking care of my cat, Cloudy. She provided thorough and detailed updates every time she visited, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. When I returned, Cloudy was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and attentive sitter!”

About: I foster dogs of all ages from Spots Last Stop and have owned my Australian cattle dog/lab mix since I rescued him in Florida 5 years ago. I have trained him extensively myself, with over 25+ commands including being off leash trained, knowing his lefts and rights, and “protect” position. I have years of pet sitting experience, including watching my grandparents foster dogs (up to 5 large breeds at a time, including 180 pound big boy mastiffs!) ***Please reach out if you need last minute bookings or accommodations during the week, things may be arranged*** I work full time in project management for a biotech company but only live 3 minutes from my office and have great flexibility with coming and going as needed. I also am available most weekends and can discuss longer trips as needed I have a friendly resident dog who has done well with every foster I’ve had. He is very good at respecting a dogs space and will not instigate or initiate play. I do not have a fenced yard, but with a high energy breed, I do walk him on average 2-4 miles a day around the neighborhood or through trails and practice sniff work outside and inside to keep him exercised and stimulated and your dog is welcome to come along 😊 I can also do in-your-home sitting if they need more one-on-one time or do not get along with other dogs!

“Teresa did a great job looking after Misha. She conscientiously followed his route and routine. When I got home everything was in order and I was greeted by a happy boy.”

About: I've grown up caring for three dogs at once in a busy household, so I’m no stranger to managing multiple pets with love and attention. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m especially confident with dog walking and making sure every pup gets the care, exercise, and attention they need. I’m currently working part time at cub so I’ll need to schedule around that but other than that I’ll be free most of the time. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and keep your home clean and secure.

“Maggie is the best! I know I can trust her with my pup!”

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.

About: I enjoy taking care of our furry families. I’ve fostered mother dogs and their puppies and several litters of cats. Love furry animals of all types!!! I currently own my own counseling practice. I dictate my own schedule, so pet sitting can easily be scheduled. I love having the opportunity to meet you and your fur babies! I have 3 cats and one dog in my family . Together with my two daughters we walk our dog twice a day . Our cats use an outside condo for fresh air and sun bathing.

“Brittany was wonderful with our 3 cats when we were out of town for 10 days! Our cats required twice daily visits due to medical needs and she was there twice a day all 10 days! Our most timid cat, even showed her the most affection she’s ever shown a cat sitter. Will definitely be reaching out to Brittany when we next need a cat sitter!!”

“Amy was great! Punctual and very responsive with messages. She took great care of our dog and kept me up to date with how he was doing and sent pics too. Our dog seemed like he was a pretty happy pooch even with his usual family being gone. Would love to have her back the next time we’re in need of dog care.”
