“I am thankful Rhonda was able to watch my Boston Terrier on short notice. I was very comfortable leaving him with her and will definitely have her watch him in the future.”
“Lisa was so great with my nervous dog. You can tell, and my dog could tell, that’s she’s a pet lover. My dog latched on to her and Lisa was very reassuring sending pictures and updates letting me know my dog was in good hands. I was able to relax more on my vacation knowing ZeZe was being well cared for!”
“As always, Rupert came home happy after a fun weekend with Laura. I love knowing that he’s in good hands & I can enjoy what ever I’m doing (in this case, it was my oldest son’s wedding weekend!). Laura is great about sharing pictures & short recaps of their days together! Thank you, Laura!”
“Kim has been so flexible and available for us. We've had to use her at the last minute a few times, plus we have 2 dogs, and she has accommodated the requests graciously. I love that she sends updates and pictures or videos when they are in her care. They get the love and attention and exercise they need when with Kim.”
“Monique was great! Communicated everyday to let me know how Roscoe was doing and sent him home with a great report card that let me know overall how things went. Roscoe had a great time there!!”
“Julia and Colin were great! They communicated well and even met Toast before boarding! We received a lot of pictures where our dog was smiling and having a good time with them. We will definitely book again!”
“We had a great experience with Kellene taking care of our pup. She was very responsive before and during the stay, and sent many updates/photos. Ozzy and coco got along great and it was nice to have a meet and great before to make sure the stay would go well. She treated Ozzy like her own pup and took him for walks, lots of play time and cuddles. We couldn’t ask for anything more!”
“Ashlee was very communicate and sweet during Frankie’s stay with her! She was flexible and followed all of our requests. She sent updates with photos each night. Thanks Ashlee!”
“Lacey watched my dog while I was back home for thanksgiving break - she did an exceptional job and provided plenty of pictures! My dog played a lot with her sisters dog and they ran around a bunch in the yard”
“This was our first time leaving our dog Bean with Rebecca and in fact, the first time using Rover. We are so very thankful to have found Rebecca. Rebecca was very kind and compassionate with both Bean and ourselves. She took the time to answer all our questions and concerns and kept us up to date with daily pictures and updates. We will definitely be using Rebecca again. I highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart is both my personal and professional experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently work at Dogtopia, where I care for and supervise dogs daily. This has helped me become patient, attentive, and comfortable working with different temperaments and energy levels. I also have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. My senior dog, Otis, had arthritis, so I learned how important patience, comfort, and attentive care are for older pets. I also helped raise and train our pug puppy with basic training, routines, and socialization. Because of these experiences, I understand that every pet has different needs depending on their age and personality, and I always try to make pets feel safe, active, and cared for like they’re my own.⭐️😊 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work at Dogtopia, where I help maintain a safe, clean, and fun environment for dogs of all sizes and personalities. 🐾 My job has taught me the importance of paying close attention to dogs’ behavior, safety, and overall well-being throughout the day. When I’m home, I also spend a lot of time caring for my own dog. I enjoy taking him on long walks by the lake, staying active with him through runs and playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care every day.🦮🏃♀️❤️ When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I make sure the environment is clean and secure by checking doors, gates, food, and anything that could be unsafe or easily gotten into by curious pets.🤗 I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and individual needs to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while their owner is away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I always try to make pets feel safe, cared for, and at home.
About: I’m a dog/cat mom who is a little obsessed with animals and can’t wait to meet yours! Open for boarding in my home, walks, check ins, feeding, etc. I currently have a standard poodle and a mini poodle who are the center of my life (let’s face it, the run my life!). They love guests and would be thrilled to meet your dog and cat while you’re away. I have 20+ years of experience with dogs and cats, able to give medications, provide senior care, and daily walks, play time. I’d love to help give your pet their very best life! I work a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate your needs. I’m available weekends and most holidays as well. I’ll do my best to work together to find the best schedule for your pet. My dogs have a lovely home and they kindly let me live there too. 😆. The dogs are allowed free run of the house at all times, though I do have crates for when they want some unbothered time, at their choice. I live in a great neighborhood filled with dogs so we meet a lot of friends on our walks, too.
“Andrew helped watch my dog, Lucy, during a recent trip I had. He was very flexible and communicative throughout the process with drop off and pickup, and sent great photos throughout the stay to keep me comfortable regarding how Lucy was doing. Would absolutely book with him again.”
“Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾”
“Jacquelin and her husband have been a wonderful find and we could not be more grateful for her and her husband’s incredible care for our guy, Teddy. We were gone for 10 days for our spring break and were a little nervous being gone that long. Teddy comes from a one dog household and normally stays at home with a family member or friend; however this trip was too long for an arrangement like that and could not have been more pleased with the care, concern, consistent communication and love given to our sweet guy! We would not hesitate to use them again. Thanks so much 💛”
About: I’m a kind and goofy gal that loves dogs with my whole being. I own a beagle named Luna that I love spending time with. Her mom needs to hustle to get more funds for our journeys and all the Trader Joe’s treats. I am constantly the friend that takes care of my friend’s dog and enjoy every moment. I hope you give me the opportunity to spend time with your pet! I’d be happy to expand on my experience and passion. My entire schedule revolves around my dog. I’m thinking about how to move things around for her and always checking if I can bring her with. I enjoy our three walks a day on our remote work from home days. I’m open to taking care of pets at my home or their own as long as you’re okay with mine being with us. I’d be happy to introduce them beforehand. I’m a horrible liar and believe in karma, so I treat everyone and their homes like I would want others to treat mine. Hopefully this isn’t too cheesy lol
“Willow had a great time as Jill's house. I know she received a lot of treats, and she enjoyed the backyard and front door window. She'll definitely be going back for another stay.”

“Carole was amazing and kept our grumpy senior kitty happy and well fed! Our place was also spotless upon our return. Definitely recommend her and her crew to take care of your furry family!”
“I'm super grateful to have found Qian as a first-time user of Rover! Can't thank her enough! She was very sweet and kind to my kitty. She did a great job completing all the tasks and even added multiple pictures of my kitty to the drop-in! Communication with her is very easy, too! I would definitely request her again and recommend her to anyone!”
“This was our first booking with Carrianne. She was great! She asked good clarifying questions during our meet and greet to make sure she fully understood how to care for our kitty, and was reliable and timely during the booking. We fully trusted her to take care of our anxious cat. We would love to book with her in the future!”
“Hope was a great companion for my companion while I was out of town. I appreciated her communication, she always arrived on time, and picking up my keys was hassle-free. High recommendations!”
“We trust Travis with our cats and house, he is always our first choice whenever we go out of town. Above and beyond- great updates and when we come home it is clear our pets and house were well cared for. Thank you!”
“Avery was so kind and accommodating with our two senior cats. She did a wonderful job of keeping us up to date with photos and details of her visits. Thank you so much for taking great care of our girls!”
“We've used Ilene's services a handful of times at this point, and there's a reason why we keep coming back. She is very reliable, flexible, and caring and thoughtful toward our cat. She sends great photos and detailed updates, and we can tell how much the cat enjoys her company during visits. We highly recommend Ilene!”
About: I grew up with two cats and two dogs, so I’ve been around pets for most of my life! I got my own dog five years ago, and I have been taking care of her ever since. I love any and all types of pets, and I have am flexible with times and can accommodate mamy different schedules. Along with taking care of my own dog, I am available throughout the day to stop in and check on/walk dogs. I am also available any day to stay over as a sitter. My one and only priority would be taking care of your pet. I would never be intrusive or inappropriate in your home. I would treat it with the respect I would want from a sitter.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I've spent years caring for cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I know that every cat has their own unique personality, routines, and preferences, and I take the time to help them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. I offer dependable, compassionate care tailored to your cat’s needs, whether that’s drop-in visits, litter box maintenance, feeding, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply providing companionship and attention. I understand that many cats prefer the comfort of their own space, so I always aim to respect their boundaries while making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during each visit. I treat every cat as if they were my own and strive to provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where they can feel secure and relaxed. My goal is to give both you and your cat complete peace of mind while you’re away.
“Jackie took great care of our cat on short notice when we decided to go out of town for Thanksgiving. I could tell from the pictures she sent that our cat was very, very happy!!! Thanks, Jackie!!!”
About: I am a compassionate and positive person who has endless love to give to your dog, who I know is an important member of your family. I am a counselor full time working to give your dog a little extra joy and comfort. With 20 years of experience caring for dogs, I have the skills and experience to take exceptional care of your baby. If you are looking for someone to sing songs and hype your dog up with affirmations, I am the right person for you! I am available 6-7am and 5-8pm weekdays until June. From June to August, my availability will expand to 6am-9pm. I have varying availability on weekends. I am a diligent person and will make sure to leave your space how I found it! If I notice anything out of sorts, such as a puppy chewing a new rug, I will let you know.
“Sophia was such a great sitter for Seymour! She came over prior to her drop ins with Seymour to meet him and and pick up our keys. She was super responsive and continued to send updates on how he was doing. We definitely recommend her!”
“Jessica took great care of my cat! It was clear from the daily cards that my cat warmed up to her quickly, and they spent good quality time snuggling and playing together.”
“Jessica was able to come on short notice and even cleaned up my puppies potty accidents on the carpet while helping to potty train. Thanks for watching my still in training puppy and also for taking the time to correct him and clean up after him. I will defiantly be hiring again!”
“Katie consistently goes above and beyond. Our cat was alone during a snowstorm and power outage, and Katie communicated with us right away that our automatic feeder wasn’t working. She worked with me to come up with a mitigation plan, and she offered to check on our cat the next day to make sure the kibble had dropped, even though we hadn’t booked her for another visit. She is an AMAZING sitter and very kind, generous human.”
“Alex is always on time, she’s super reliable, communicates thoroughly, and is very loving and attentive with our fur babies. Regardless of how shy or how excitable each one of them is, Alex gives them each personalized attention so they all feel comfortable and happy. By far the best pet sitter we’ve worked with and the most detail oriented as well (which is a huge plus considering we have three pets that each require different care in their own ways). We always feel confident and reassured when they’re under her care. Thank you, Alex!!🐾😊🐈⬛🐕🐕”
“We are so glad we chose Abigail to care for our kitties while we were on a recent trip. Both of our girls are older and one had suffered an injury recently and needed extra care. We were nervous to leave, but Abigail gave such detailed reports on her visits and many pictures that we felt so reassured each time she stopped by. We had a bunch of directions written out and she followed them closely. She was even willing to stop in on a holiday. We are lucky to have had her help and would absolutely reach out to her again in the future!”

“Mickey loved his afternoon with Jessica! She took him for walks and made him feel at home. He was relaxed and happy when I picked him up. Jessica is such a kind soul, we feel extemely fortunate to have found her!”
About: I have lifelong experience with animals, having pets all my life and working various animal care jobs. I worked at a doggy daycare for two years in high school, where I gained hands-on experience managing dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. That role helped me become confident in reading dog behavior, maintaining safe play environments, and providing attentive care throughout the day. Growing up, my family fostered puppies frequently, so I’m comfortable with young dogs and understand the patience, structure, and consistency they need. I’ve also had dogs and cats my entire life and have pet-sat for neighbors and family friends for years, caring for both energetic pets and older animals who need a gentler, more attentive approach. I recently graduated from UW–Madison and moved away from home, and I truly miss being around animals. Pet sitting isn’t just a job for me—it's something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I’m very caring, responsible, and dedicated, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I often work from home, so I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m typically not away from home for more than four to six hours at a time, and I’m intentional about making sure pets get regular care, playtime, and affection. Because of my flexible schedule, I can adapt to your pet’s specific needs—whether that’s extra exercise, medication timing, or just lots of cuddles and company.
About: I had a 12 year old puggle who was my best friend! He was walked every day of his life. Now that he has passed, I am looking to spend time with other furry companions! I am recently retired, so I have lots of time and a very flexible schedule! I love all dogs and am very gentle with all pets. I love downtown and know all kinds of routes for your pets. I am an active person so long or short walks are easy for me to do!
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I've spent years caring for dogs for friends, family and neighbors. I know that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their individual routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I offer dependable, compassionate care tailored to your dog’s needs, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, boarding, or simply extra companionship and attention. I believe communication is important, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos throughout your dog’s stay or my visit. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment where they can feel happy and secure. My goal is to give both you and your dog a positive experience and complete peace of mind! Pet care fits into my routine outside of my full-time job. I work Monday through Friday, 9–5, so I’m available for morning and evening drop-in visits during the week, which works well for cat care, feeding, litter box cleaning, and check-ins. For dog walks, boarding, and extended care, I’m fully available on weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive exercise, playtime, and supervision. I’m organized and reliable with scheduling, and I make sure each pet receives consistent, unhurried care during the times I’m available. My goal is to provide dependable service while fitting seamlessly into both my routine and the pet’s needs. In my home and in my clients’ homes, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and clean environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure doors, leashes, and any secure areas are properly managed at all times to prevent escapes or accidents. I also keep a close eye on behavior, appetite, and overall wellbeing so I can quickly notice if anything seems off. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the space and treat it with care, keeping things tidy and following all instructions closely. For boarding or daycare in my home, I provide a cozy, pet-friendly space with supervision, attention and regular breaks for exercise, play, and rest. I provide regular updates with messages and photos so pet parents can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

“Monica is awesome! And so is her dog, Capone! My puppy, Milo, has been through so much in his short life and Monica always makes him feel at home! He loves coming to daycare with her a few times a week. I swear Monica’s dog is Milo’s long lost brother because from her updates she sends, they’re always together! I’m so appreciative that I have Monica and her services because she’s very flexible and so kind. I can tell Milo is treated well when he goes to daycare. ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I grew up with 6 other siblings and we always had animals around. I lost our beloved family dog about two years ago and I do not want to commit to raising another one since I like to travel. But on my down time, I am willing to walk your dog, spend time with them, and love them up as much as possible. I just recently got an apartment in Milwaukee to be closer to my family so I am looking for something to do and to help out an owner who may need it. I recently retired so I have a lot of flexibility, and a lot more time to spend at home and to care for your dog. It’s just me and my wife that live in the home and she would be available to help if needed. We live in the country on a one acre lot so your dog would have a big area to roam! I can have a pet stay at my house during the day but unfortunately it’s not allowed in my apartment for overnights. If it’s easier to come to your home, I am willing to do that!
“Alexandrea took great care of my 12 week old puppy Driggs. 😊 She sent me lots of photos of Driggs and kept me updated on how he was doing. She also watched him back to back last minute and I appreciated her willingness to do so! I will definitely be using her again and totally recommend her!”
“Thank you so much to Kim! Kim was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog Mushi today. She's very friendly and made us feel very comfortable about leaving our lab mix rescue with her while we enjoyed the Milwaukee Zoo. She walked Mushi and also gave us updates as well as pictures. I highly recommend her to watch your dog.”
About: Hi there! We are lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience and two sweet pit bulls of my own. Our home is shared with my playful and loving 3-year-old boy and my silly, affectionate 1-year-old girl, who both love making new friends. We've spent many years in responsible dog breeding, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, socialization, and individual needs. Whether your pup is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, We are confident and comfortable caring for all personalities, ages, and breeds. With me, your pets will be treated like part of the family — plenty of love, attention, structure, and fun. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive environment where every dog feels at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! --- If you want, I can also tailor it to a specific service (boarding, drop-ins, walks, etc.) or adjust the tone to be more professional, playful, or concise. I offer flexible scheduling for pet boarding thanks to my role with a property management company, which allows me to be home often and adjust my availability as needed. This flexibility helps me give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout their stay. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we kindly require all pets to have their own crate during their stay. Crates provide a secure, familiar space for your dog to rest and relax, especially during downtime or when we briefly step out. Their safety and well-being are always our top priority. Also provide your pet with their favorite food/treats for their stay. We are also able to provide that for an additional fee.

Her mom needs to hustle to get more funds for our journeys and all the Trader Joe’s treats. I am constantly the friend that takes care of my friend’s dog and enjoy every moment. I hope you give me the opportunity to spend time with your pet! I’d be happy to expand on my experience and passion. My entire schedule revolves around my dog. I’m thinking about how to move things around for her and always checking if I can bring her with. I enjoy our three walks a day on our remote work from home days. I’m open to taking care of pets at my home or their own as long as you’re okay with mine being with us. I’d be happy to introduce them beforehand. I’m a horrible liar and believe in karma, so I treat everyone and their homes like I would want others to treat mine. Hopefully this isn’t too cheesy lol
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teen. I have always had a deep love for animals, and have experience caring for friends, family, and neighbors pets! I am a therapist who works part-time remotely. I have a flexible schedule and I am home most of the day. I am eager to go on long and adventurous walks. I am a tentative dog watcher who enjoys animal company. I also enjoy long walks to the beach and local parks in the neighborhood. If you have a yard and need care at your home, I’m happy to keep an eye on everything from the comfort of your pets familiar surroundings.
About: Hi! My name is Sam, and I have a huge love for animals — especially dogs. I live on the first floor of a duplex in Riverwest and work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and lots of time to give pets the attention they deserve. I have two cats and a dog of my own, so I’m very used to different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I’m currently available for dog walking, dog day care, and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Pets in my care get plenty of cuddles, playtime, exercise, love, and attention. I treat every animal like they’re one of my own. To make sure every pet gets calm, focused care, I take a limited number of bookings each day. I typically take up to two walks or drop-in visits per day, depending on timing and location. If I’m providing dog day care in my home, I usually don’t schedule additional walks or drop-ins that day so everyone gets the attention they deserve. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I work from home full time during the week. My schedule is overall very flexible and I provide frequent outdoor time and exercise. My yard is fenced in and secure. Pets I watch are treated like royalty and get lots of attention, exercise, and loving! I allow dogs on my furniture and provide a lot of positive reinforcement.
“I left my little Sophie at Jan’s house for a few hours while I went to an appointment. She was so well cared for by Jan and her family!! Sophie was so comfortable and got along so well with Jan’s dogs that she even fell asleep right on top of one of them. I will definitely be bringing Sophie back to Jan! Thank you again so very much!”
“George was so happy when I picked him up! He fell asleep as soon as he got home and now is dreaming about his super long walk with Megan. I can tell that George had a wonderful day and Megan went the extra mile to make him eat his food even though he’s been fuzzy because of medication. I will definitely bring George back next time he needs a sitter.”

“Jessica took the best care of Max! Her communication was impeccable and you could see the quality in her care she provided for our dog. We could tell Max looked forward to his walks with her. We would highly recommend her care with anyone’s pet!”
About: I started caring for pets when I was 12 years old. I love working with dogs and spend a lot of my free time training them. I trained my own dog, who performs three tasks for me and knows 10+ additional commands. If you’re looking for a sitter or walker who might teach your dog a new trick like “shake” or reinforce commands like “stay” while they’re there, I’m your guy! I may be on the smaller side, but don’t let that fool you—I have plenty of experience with large dogs. My best friend growing up was my 200+ lb Newfoundland! I am free most days to come play with your pups and get them outside exploring the neighborhood. I love training dogs in my spare time and seeing them grow in confidence and skills! I currently am unable to stay overnight / all day for petsitting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m happy to follow any routines, feeding schedules, or training methods you already use. I am very calm when I first meet animals, and I even find that shy animals tend to love me as I go at each individual animal’s pace.
About: I love nurturing all living things from children (although I am not yet a parent to a human), to plants and animals alike! I tend to put all living things before my own needs to prioritize their well-being. In addition, I recently took in a crested gecko and have learned so much about caring for reptiles as well. Everyday before leaving my apartment I make sure that both of my pets have plenty of food and water. In addition, I check to ensure that my plants are out of reach from my cat and that my bioactive terrarium is maintaining humidity. I care for pets by making sure they have food, water, a clean liter box, a moist environment, and get taken out for potty breaks depending on which animal I am caring for. I am willing to care for your pets with the same considerations in mind.
About: I've grown up around animals my whole life, including horses, dogs, cats, birds, even miniature donkeys of all ages, and I've never gone a day with less than 8 pets! In addition to owning several loving pets, my mom and I have rescued many pets from unsafe situations and helped nurse them back to a healthy condition, which has given me experience with animals of all personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I've cared for dogs my entire life, and have experience caring for up to 5 dogs at once. I am very comfortable handling both high energy and more relaxed dogs, and I adjust my care to fit each dog's individual needs. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, supervising playtime, bathtime, dispensing oral medication, and making sure each dog stays safe, happy, and well cared for. Back home with my parents, I have two loving dogs - Millie who is a highly energetic dog who can't get enough playtime and Fletch who just wants love and affection 24/7. Caring for them has given me experience understanding different temperments. I also have experience overnight pet sitting for a dog and cat simultaneously while also baby sitting three children all with different schedules as well as daily check ins on a farm which included caring for several dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and birds, so I am very reliable and comfortable managing multiple tasks at once while maintaining routines and giving attention and exercise as needed. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently available full time every day of the week/weekend through August 31, 2026. My schedule may change, but I will make sure to update my profile if that is the case! I provide care in the client's home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. During daily check ins, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, and recieve attention, playtime, or walks depending on their needs. I also handle litter box cleaning for cats and any basic household care related to the pets. For overnight stays, I stay in the home to provide consistent care, companionship, and supervision throughout the day and night. I am very detail-oriented and follow instructions closely, maintaining feeding and exercising schedules and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. I also pay attention to each pet's individual personality and adjust my care to fit their comfort level, whether they are energetic and playful or more shy and independent. In addition to in house pet care, I have no trouble taking pets for walks outside of the area whether that is a dog park, around the neighborhood, or by the lake per owner request. I also have a dog park at my apartment complex and would be willing to take pets to a coffee shop for a pup cup if that is of the owner's interest! My top priority is to keep pets safe, healthy, and stress free by maintaining their routine and giving them reliable, attentive care.
“Elise walks my dog twice a week, and it’s been a fantastic experience. She is friendly, reliable, and genuinely loves dogs. My dog took to her right away and looks forward to her visits. I also appreciate the reports, pictures, and consistency—she go above and beyond. Highly recommend to anyone looking for dog walker! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog walker!”
“My puppy girl is always so excited to see Kayla for her walks! Kayla is great! She is an excellent communicator and has been reliable. I can tell she is good with my puppy based on how long they are able to walk for and the sweet pictures Kayla sends of her. Seriously the best dog photographer out there which is an added perk ;)”
“Travis did a very good job walking my dog Mikah while I was away. He is very friendly and my dog warmed up to him instantly. He was very persistent with the report cards and sending photos. Definitely would work with him again and recommend!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I've spent years caring for dogs for friends, family and neighbors. I know that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their individual routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I offer dependable, compassionate care tailored to your dog’s needs, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, boarding, or simply extra companionship and attention. I believe communication is important, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos throughout your dog’s stay or my visit. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment where they can feel happy and secure. My goal is to give both you and your dog a positive experience and complete peace of mind! Pet care fits into my routine outside of my full-time job. I work Monday through Friday, 9–5, so I’m available for morning and evening drop-in visits during the week, which works well for cat care, feeding, litter box cleaning, and check-ins. For dog walks, boarding, and extended care, I’m fully available on weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive exercise, playtime, and supervision. I’m organized and reliable with scheduling, and I make sure each pet receives consistent, unhurried care during the times I’m available. My goal is to provide dependable service while fitting seamlessly into both my routine and the pet’s needs. In my home and in my clients’ homes, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and clean environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure doors, leashes, and any secure areas are properly managed at all times to prevent escapes or accidents. I also keep a close eye on behavior, appetite, and overall wellbeing so I can quickly notice if anything seems off. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the space and treat it with care, keeping things tidy and following all instructions closely. For boarding or daycare in my home, I provide a cozy, pet-friendly space with supervision, attention and regular breaks for exercise, play, and rest. I provide regular updates with messages and photos so pet parents can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and stay with their pets while they’re away. I especially enjoy longer stays because it gives dogs time to feel comfortable and settled, and I love being able to build that trust with them. One of my favorite parts is taking dogs on enriching walks, keeping them active, engaged, and happy, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to keep up with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship, especially during longer stays when consistency and routine are important. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by sticking closely to their normal routine and giving them lots of attention and care. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of clients’ homes, and committed to providing reliable communication and updates throughout each stay.
About: Hi! I’m Eva, and I’m a student at UWM studying biology on the pre-veterinary track. I volunteer at the humane society weekly and am just the biggest animal lover- cats AND dogs :) I currently work part time and my hours fluctuate a lot - sometimes I open from 5am until the afternoon and sometimes I close until 6pm- so flexibility is key! I try to keep my dog active and take her on a 1-2 mile walk every day. We go to parks, hiking trails, or just areas around my neighborhood so she gets different scenery and smells. She has a set “dinner” and “breakfast” time every day and I am always sure to keep her full and happy.
“Mika was amazing. They took the time to connect with my boy. My boy is hesitant about letting people getting him out of the crate and Mika was so sweet with Salvador. We will definitely be booking with them again!”

Often asked from direct friends with pets if I’m available to take care of theirs! I currently work full time from 8:30 -4:30. I am able to leave briefly and am available during the weekends.

“Lisa was so great with my nervous dog. You can tell, and my dog could tell, that’s she’s a pet lover. My dog latched on to her and Lisa was very reassuring sending pictures and updates letting me know my dog was in good hands. I was able to relax more on my vacation knowing ZeZe was being well cared for!”
“As always, Rupert came home happy after a fun weekend with Laura. I love knowing that he’s in good hands & I can enjoy what ever I’m doing (in this case, it was my oldest son’s wedding weekend!). Laura is great about sharing pictures & short recaps of their days together! Thank you, Laura!”
“Kim has been so flexible and available for us. We've had to use her at the last minute a few times, plus we have 2 dogs, and she has accommodated the requests graciously. I love that she sends updates and pictures or videos when they are in her care. They get the love and attention and exercise they need when with Kim.”
“Monique was great! Communicated everyday to let me know how Roscoe was doing and sent him home with a great report card that let me know overall how things went. Roscoe had a great time there!!”
“We had a great experience with Kellene taking care of our pup. She was very responsive before and during the stay, and sent many updates/photos. Ozzy and coco got along great and it was nice to have a meet and great before to make sure the stay would go well.

“This was our first time leaving our dog Bean with Rebecca and in fact, the first time using Rover. We are so very thankful to have found Rebecca. Rebecca was very kind and compassionate with both Bean and ourselves. She took the time to answer all our questions and concerns and kept us up to date with daily pictures and updates. We will definitely be using Rebecca again. I highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart is both my personal and professional experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently work at Dogtopia, where I care for and supervise dogs daily. This has helped me become patient, attentive, and comfortable working with different temperaments and energy levels. I also have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. My senior dog, Otis, had arthritis, so I learned how important patience, comfort, and attentive care are for older pets. I also helped raise and train our pug puppy with basic training, routines, and socialization. Because of these experiences, I understand that every pet has different needs depending on their age and personality, and I always try to make pets feel safe, active, and cared for like they’re my own.⭐️😊 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work at Dogtopia, where I help maintain a safe, clean, and fun environment for dogs of all sizes and personalities. 🐾 My job has taught me the importance of paying close attention to dogs’ behavior, safety, and overall well-being throughout the day. When I’m home, I also spend a lot of time caring for my own dog. I enjoy taking him on long walks by the lake, staying active with him through runs and playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care every day.🦮🏃♀️❤️ When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I make sure the environment is clean and secure by checking doors, gates, food, and anything that could be unsafe or easily gotten into by curious pets.🤗 I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and individual needs to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while their owner is away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I always try to make pets feel safe, cared for, and at home.
About: I’m a dog/cat mom who is a little obsessed with animals and can’t wait to meet yours! Open for boarding in my home, walks, check ins, feeding, etc. I currently have a standard poodle and a mini poodle who are the center of my life (let’s face it, the run my life!). They love guests and would be thrilled to meet your dog and cat while you’re away. I have 20+ years of experience with dogs and cats, able to give medications, provide senior care, and daily walks, play time. I’d love to help give your pet their very best life! I work a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate your needs. I’m available weekends and most holidays as well. I’ll do my best to work together to find the best schedule for your pet. My dogs have a lovely home and they kindly let me live there too. 😆. The dogs are allowed free run of the house at all times, though I do have crates for when they want some unbothered time, at their choice. I live in a great neighborhood filled with dogs so we meet a lot of friends on our walks, too.
“Andrew helped watch my dog, Lucy, during a recent trip I had. He was very flexible and communicative throughout the process with drop off and pickup, and sent great photos throughout the stay to keep me comfortable regarding how Lucy was doing. Would absolutely book with him again.”
About: I’m a kind and goofy gal that loves dogs with my whole being. I own a beagle named Luna that I love spending time with. Her mom needs to hustle to get more funds for our journeys and all the Trader Joe’s treats. I am constantly the friend that takes care of my friend’s dog and enjoy every moment. I hope you give me the opportunity to spend time with your pet! I’d be happy to expand on my experience and passion. My entire schedule revolves around my dog. I’m thinking about how to move things around for her and always checking if I can bring her with. I enjoy our three walks a day on our remote work from home days. I’m open to taking care of pets at my home or their own as long as you’re okay with mine being with us. I’d be happy to introduce them beforehand. I’m a horrible liar and believe in karma, so I treat everyone and their homes like I would want others to treat mine. Hopefully this isn’t too cheesy lol
“Willow had a great time as Jill's house. I know she received a lot of treats, and she enjoyed the backyard and front door window. She'll definitely be going back for another stay.”
“Yolanda and her husband Rashad were wonderful and warm! After our meet and greet Rex and I felt comfortable and knew Rex would be In Great hands and they didn’t disappoint. I’ll definitely be using them again!”
“Sara was both completely professional and warm/kind with Kiara. She was ready to set up a meet & greet when it worked for us. She was also patient when our schedule changed a bit for drop off and pick up, and let us shift the times a bit. Most importantly, Kiara had a great time with plenty of walks and trips to the dog part with her new dog friend Josie.”
“Ashley was an amazing dog sitter for our pup! She communicated throughout the stay, sent pictures, and made him feel at home! I highly recommend! Thank you for the experience!”
“Scott and his dog Lucy were a great match for Roo! I received multiple picture updates and he was great at communicating. We met up beforehand to ensure a good match, and it was clear Scott has a natural way with dogs. Would gladly rebook!”
