About: Hi there! I’ve had the joy of caring for my mom’s and friends’ dogs over the years, and I was also a proud dog mom myself for over a decade. My sweet girl passed away last September, and while I’m not quite ready to bring another pup into my life full-time, I truly miss the companionship and would love the chance to care for your dog while you’re away. I have experience with senior dogs and pups who need special medical attention, including administering medication and monitoring health conditions like seizures. I understand how important it is to provide patient, attentive care—especially when a dog has unique needs. Whether your dog loves long walks or just relaxing on the couch, I’m happy to meet them right where they are. I’d be honored to give your pup the love, attention, and comfort they deserve in your absence. I work from home and occasionally out in the field, but I'm never gone for more than a few hours—and I can adjust my schedule to be home the entire time if needed. Outside of work, I am a homebody, so you never have to worry about your dog being alone at night. While I do not have a fenced yard, I have a small courtyard and live in a residential neighborhood, which is excellent for walking. Inside my home, your dog is free to go wherever they like. No place is off limits (I am used to having a sliver of the bed).

About: I grew up with pets, I have 3 dogs my oldest one is 11. I watch over a friend's dogs as of right now. I'll be able to walk your dog however long you would need me to and make sure they have water and are fed if needed. If there's any messes I see around I'll clean them up. My friend has a cat and I love going over to his house to pet her. she's grown a liking to me and I have to her as well, I give her treats time to time and pet her a lot. I don't know how to clean a litter box. but I can definitely give your cat some quality time and play, feed the cat and make sure they have water. I always make sure my pets have water, especially after a walk or if it's a hot day out. Love to play with my dogs and lay with them in the couch.

“My pup loved Jack. He is very gentle, yet authoritative, ensuring they know who the alfa is and that they are safe with him. Jack's communication skills are good, and he keeps you posted on how things went. I would recommend Jack to anyone who is unsure whether or not to allow someone else to care for your new family member.”

“My pets love have Joseph around. He was the only dog walker that accepted my dog for late night walks as I work. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else!”

About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments throughout my whole life. I have some experience assisting pets recovering from surgery, that require specific/scheduled care, and those who are physically healthy, but perhaps are just very slow to trust. I am more than happy to meet your pet where they are, and to assist with their needs as much as you are comfortable. Due to seasonal lay-offs at my workplace, I am currently available all throughout the day. I am happy to make trips throughout the day if needed, and/or multiple days throughout the week. I take my dog for regular walks, and am happy to do the same for yours. I also do my best to present a calm and controlled energy with animals, in an attempt to let them grow more comfortable with me at their own pace. I am prepared to be patient if your pets are more shy, and playful if they are more energetic and friendly. Every dog and cat is different, and I do my best to match their energy and respect their boundaries, while ensuring I am also meeting their needs.

About: I have a soft spot for older dogs and the extra patience they deserve. Senior pets need a slower pace and someone who really pays attention — and that's exactly what I provide. On the other hand, I absolutely love a young, energetic dog who keeps me on my toes too! I grew up with Chihuahuas and have regularly babysat my family's dogs over the years, so while I may not have a dog of my own right now, pets have always been a big part of my life. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I work remotely so I am avaliable anytime to fufill your dog's need's house sitting or drop ins! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine — I work from home, so I'm around all day and can give your dog constant attention and companionship. I live in a two-story house with my partner and have a backyard, perfect for some outdoor time. We're also just a block from the lake, so adventurous pups will love the walks! I'm available for sitting pretty much anytime, making it easy to accommodate your schedule. Please note the backyard is not fenced, so leashed outdoor time is always practiced for safety. When a pet is in my care, they're treated like a true member of the family. Since I work from home, I'm available all day to make sure they're never left alone for long. I love getting outside, so expect plenty of walks and adventures — we're a block from the lake, so there's always somewhere fun to explore! For boarding, pets sleep in their own bed or crate so they have a comfortable, familiar space to wind down. I always follow the pet owner's routines and instructions as closely as possible, whether I'm caring for your dog in my home or yours. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness is always my top priority.

About: Growing up I’ve always had multiple pets and was in charge of all the things that came along with taking care of pets. I have experience with cats and dogs and have owned quite a few of my own! Throughout the year I house sit for family and friends and watch up to 3-5 pets at a time! I work a flexible schedule so I am available a lot of throughout the week, I can make most times work currently as my schedule is. I live in an apartment but I have a personal fenced in yard area just for us that can be used for taking the dogs out! I also have plenty of experience with walking dogs.

About: Hi! Devoted animal lover here! I've taken care of animals my entire life as I grew up with dogs, cats, as well as birds. As a teenager I volunteered for training with an animal organization! More recently, I worked at a doggy daycare for an approximately 1 year. However, I decided to venture off on my own as this allows me to give every animal a customized experience. We create a permanent bond and familiarity. Animals are magnificent, they will tell you exactly how they feel without a voice. I give them the floor and listen to them. I understand boundaries and allow your fur baby to set them and I follow suit happily! ☺️ Separating from your child and putting your trust into someone else to care for your fur baby is daunting, nerve wrecking, and exhausting. I whole heartedly understand this as I’ve made people put my babies on the phone while I was away laughing but serious! I’m extremely communicative and you will ALWAYS receive real time updates and of course unlimited pictures!!! One day I hope to get into animal photography until then you may or may not see me laying on the ground to get the best angles of your fur baby with my iPhone! 📱 ALL are welcome!! My love knows no age, breed, or size!!! I’m a mother to 2 senior pets both cat and dog.🐕 In total I have 5 children. 4 cats all adopted from shelters, as well as my senior dog carrot! I realized at a very young age I wanted to run a mini rescue operation ❤️ Consultation is always free. Please let me know anything you would like me to know about your doggo prior to meeting! :) Pet care is my life. I’m a full time fur mom and a full time fur care taker. This is always something I’ve been passionate about and have finally been able to open up my availability completely! My pets are pampered! I love all fur babies as my own because it is simply impossible for me not to do so! I currently don’t offer in my house sitting because my senior dog gets stressed easily.

“Michelle was prompt in responding, friendly and outgoing with our pups, and asked great questions about them! We re-booked her promptly and highly suggest her services if you're in the greater SE-WI area.”

About: Have administered specialized medicine to senior animals for ongoing diseases such as kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. Was very diligent nursing my senior kitty before he passed. I work and go to school so my schedule varies but I always have some nights and mornings free each week that I would love to use on animals. I understand and respect animals boundaries and try my best not to encroach them. I've also mastered the "foot as barrier" approach when opening doors.

“Leah has become Arlo’s buddy in no time! He gets excited to hear she’s coming for a walk. We’re happy with Leah as well. She responds very quickly and has helped us out with last minute booking. I’m very very happy with Leah!”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable pet sitter with a true love for animals. I currently have a 6 year old Maltipoo and a cat, and I grew up with two Yorkies, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also worked in a veterinary clinic, which gave me experience with animal care and safety. I treat every pet like my own and can provide dog-sitting references upon request! I currently am very flexible and have an open schedule! I can work around schedules if need be. I’m used to taking my dog out early in the mornings. I care for pets by meeting their needs that they need. I can crate them if needed and have a clean and safe house. To make your fur babies comfortable.

About: Welcome! With a passion for animals and years of experience, I have developed a strong connection with pets of all breeds, and the feedback from my clients speaks for itself. I offer affordable pricing without compromising on the quality of care, ensuring that your pet receives the love and attention they deserve. Regarding my availability, I do have a six-year-old son who will be with me occasionally, and prior to booking, it is important to consider accepting him as part of the agreement. This does not affect the quality of care, as I ensure both my son and your pet are happy and safe. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I am always mindful of your pet’s well-being, whether we’re out for a walk or spending time together at home. If we encounter other pets, I’ll ensure that the experience is positive and safe. I also respect the privacy of pet owners and follow all instructions carefully, making sure to create an environment where both pets and owners feel comfortable. Homes with cameras are always welcome, and I take great care in maintaining an open line of communication.

“Very friendly, dog had a great walk.”

About: Hi there, I'm Nichole, and the dog in my profile picture is Chance! She was my best bud for 12 years so senior doggos are my heart! She helped me be familiar with giving oral medication and needing lots of naps and low-key play times! Besides Chance, I’ve had dogs whose ages range from 5 months to 10 years of age, and a variety of different breeds and sizes! I am comfortable with tug of war, playing fetch, or a good snuggle and belly rub. Currently we have two kitties and a doggo that just turned a year and an half (we’re working on behavioral needs with her so I’m very patient!) Are walks your furry best friend's favorite thing to do? Just leave me a note or give me instructions (if needed) in case they are really energetic or have a bigger than life personality so I know what they need. I can of course send pics of your best friend enjoying themselves on our walk, play time or even if they’re snoozing or chowing down on a meal. Do not hesitate to check in either asking how they are! It is my priority to be here while you’re away and to help you feel comfortable with their care even if I am just doing a check in. I know that their mom or dad is the best, but it’s my hope to help them not miss you as much while you're gone so I will make it a fun time for them and love them and care for them like they were my own. As far as how pet care fits into my daily routine, I would be available to walk or do check ins any time after 1 pm Monday-Thursdays and on Fridays anytime after 9 am as I am currently working summer school so have more flexibility in my schedule. Weekends are mostly free for the above mentioned as well as house sitting, I do like to keep some weekends free for a better work life balance though but of course still reach out and we can chat! For house sits I can do up to 4 days unless we’ve spoken of other arrangements; due to family/work life balance I will no longer do more than stated above unless I’ve already had you as a house sitting client prior. With doing house sits during summer I of course will be out of the house still for about 5 hours for working at school so I like to be up front about that but besides running a quick errand I would be back at your house so you can make sure your furry friend is receiving the best care while you’re away! I will care for your pets as if they were family. I will be as hands off or hands on as needed depending on what they like or need. :) I also do have my husband come with me to all meet and greets due to safety reasons. He will not come to the walking or drop ins when being done.

About: I’ve done overnight dog sitting for the past 3 years. Also I grew up in a household full of dogs and loved taking them on walks. I am currently working first shift starting at 8:30am to 4:30pm and able to walk dogs anytime after that. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me. I currently have a 4 year old german shepherd that I just recently adopted. I take him on daily walks on a leash along with treats.
