Laura provided daily updates and pictures of our pup enjoying her stay. She followed our requests for special care for her. We will definately use her for future sitting and highly recommend her T.o Weber”
About: I have grown up with dogs throughout my entire life. I have participated in every step of caring for them including feedings, medication administration, long walks and giving them the proper love they deserve. I am a travel nurse looking for activities to keep me busy when I have downtime. My hours are flexible so willing to work with your schedule for convenience. There are no other pets in the home. My backyard is large but unfenced. I am an energetic caregiver if your dog prefers that type of care, otherwise I can relax with your dog at home if that is more tailored to their lifestyle.

About: I've been taking care of other people's cats since I was at least 10 years old and in high school my family finally got our first family cat named Sassy (tortoiseshell in my display photo) who has lived with me since I moved out in 2019.

About: We’ve cared for our dog for many years until she passed away. We love animals and love caring for them. Currently we have two cats and two geckos but no dogs of our own. We’re currently not sitting any dogs at our home but are very willing to walk/ spend time with your furry friend. I work nights, my partner works days so there is always someone around to take your dog for a walk, play or to a park. Most times work for us.

“Emily was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated throughout the day with lots of pictures and messages, which made me feel so comfortable knowing my puppy was in such great hands. It was clear she genuinely cared for him and treated him like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I can’t wait for our next visit. Emily is truly amazing, and I highly recommend her!”
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!
“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.”
“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. ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Amy was great with my pup. She took time with us for meet and greet which was reassuring and helpful. Stayed in touch and sent pics while my pup was with her—highly reccomend.”
“Miranda took care of my dog like nobody would. She was flexible and patient, and I will absolutely take my dear Galleta with her again. Miranda is super reliable and clearly loves animals. Galleta had lots of fun with her dog, Bandit. Thanks a lot for an amazing daycare experience for my dog!”
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
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’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!
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.
About: We love animals but aren’t in a place in our lives to have our own. We’d love to be able to get some pet love while still being able to keep our flexible lifestyle. We thought pet sitting would be the best way to do so! We genuinely love pet sitting/housesitting since we just love doing new things together. We are very responsible and are almost always reachable by text. We have a car and are willing to travel to you. We are excited to hear from you soon :) I only work in office Tuesday through Thursday from 9-5, other than that I am usually home. On those days I can feed them before and after work. Ethan (my boyfriend) also works fully remote so he’ll be around to take care of the pets on the days I’m in office. A midday walk is a great way to get him out of the house We have the top level of a duplex. It’s a pretty open space. We love to go on walks and spend time with furry friends. We’re really good about sending photo updates and checking in with the owners throughout the day.
About: I’ve had multiple pets throughout my life. Mostly dogs and cats that were awesome. I have Rover experience and am looking forward to meeting and taking care of your pet! I live with my girlfriend who also loves dogs. Our superstar doggo passed away 2 years ago. My GF would jump in front of a car for most dogs so you are in good hands. I currently work remote so I have a flexible schedule. I’m available almost anytime to take care of your pet depending on my work travel. I’m looking forward to meeting your pet and making them feel comfortable with me. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just hanging out, your pet is in good hands.
About: Hi! I'm Andrew, and I absolutely love spending time with dogs! I've cared for my family's dogs for years and currently work for a privately owned dog walking company in Shorewood, where I've gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm passionate about making sure every furry friend feels happy, safe, and loved while they're in my care. Whether it's a fun walk, plenty of playtime, enrichment, or lots of belly rubs, I always treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I also enjoy working on basic training and reinforcing good manners through positive reinforcement, making walks both fun and rewarding. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care and the best experience possible for both you and your pup. I can't wait to meet your four-legged family member and become their new favorite walking buddy! I am currently available to book most days of the week as dog care is my passion. Please feel free to reach out to set up a meet and greet. I am currently available to take care of pets in client’s home. I am flexible with needs, dates, and times. Let me know how I can help 🙂
“Friendly, flexible, and most importantly my little dog seems super happy and worn out after spending the day playing with theirs! Seems like a safe and fun fit for my fur child and will continue to rebook!”
“Luscely was available last minute and didn't make me jump through hoops to dogsit. She was communicative, fair, and my dog was happy. I will absolutely use her again!”

“If you’re looking for a dog walker I highly recommend Melissa. She was prompt, professional, and took excellent care of my small dog. She asked relevant questions about my dog before leaving for the walk, and afterwards gave me a thorough update of the walk. I feel comfortable with her in charge of my beloved sweet furry friend!!”
“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 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.
“Emma was so great with our dog Gus! She was very professional, took the cutest photos and was super prompt with her responses. We will definitely book her again!”

About: I adore animals. In my experience I am very good at play time as well as making sure they are taken care of and well fed. Whether your pet is high energy or prefers to relax a little more, I will make sure they are accommodated properly.As well as making sure they get to their appointments on time if this applies. Your pet will be in loving hands. I have experience taking dogs on hikes or simple walks around the neighborhood as well as taking them to and from appointments. Your furry friend and I are sure to have a good time no matter the need for care. I look forward to helping you and them along in the day. I work part time with a schedule that changes weekly. I will let you know if my schedule interferes with any bookings at the time. If your pet is staying in my home please know that I have a cat of my own that is friendly with both cats and dogs. I do live in an apartment complex that is easily walkable and has a small dog park.
“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!”
“Jessica went above and beyond all expectations! She was great with Sullivan and even brought in a package off of our porch when she dropped sully off. Amazing walker and will definitely book again! ☺️”

“Alex is an excellent dog walker/caretaker. My dogs love her and she is 100% reliable. She goes out of her way to help her clients. Her communication is excellent and timely. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and have hands-on experience caring for pets for family and friends. I’ve taken my brother’s dog on walks and potty breaks numerous times and understand the importance of exercise, routine, and giving dogs plenty of attention. I’ve also cared for my sister’s dog for several days at a time while she was out of town, managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and providing companionship. In addition, I’ve helped friends by stopping by during the day to let their dogs outside and make sure they were comfortable and cared for. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I strive to provide patient, reliable, and loving care so both pets and owners feel at ease. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a fun walk, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to treating them like they’re my own. I'm currently in between jobs, so I am free any day of the week. I usually spend my mornings on my job hunt and then go for a walk or run and exercise. I'm very physically active and enjoy being outside, so I'm very open and flexible! I have a private dog park at my apartment building that is great! I am also open to whatever my clients' needs and wants are. If they need me to stay at their place for a little to help their pet feel comfortable, I can accommodate. As mentioned before, I love being outside for walks, or if you have a sporty dog that enjoys runs, I can help out as well! I have a great track record for trust worthiness and dependability. I'm very communicative and will always be available to send pictures or talk through any questions you may have.
About: I am excited to offer dedicated dog walking and personalized in-home sitting tailored to your pet's specific personality. My goal is to maintain the comfort of their home environment while providing the physical and mental stimulation they need. A typical visit or walk includes: Structured Exercise: Brisk walks or backyard fetch to burn off energy. Mental Enrichment: Basic command reinforcement and puzzle toy play. Safety First: Leash safety, checking water bowls, and ensuring your home is secure. Personalized Attention: Brushing, belly rubs, and companionship for those who just want a friend nearby. I have been surrounded by dogs literally since the day I was born, giving me a natural "dog intuition" when it comes to reading body language and moods. Currently, I am raising my own puppy, which has given me specialized, hands-on experience with the "hard stuff": potty training, teething, high-energy management, and the patience required for consistent training. Whether your pet is a senior who needs a gentle touch or a rambunctious puppy still learning their manners, I have the experience to handle both ends of the spectrum with ease. As a student at SCAD, my schedule is predictable and fits perfectly with pet care. I am not a 9-5 office worker; instead, I use the breaks between my classes to check in on my furry clients, ensuring they aren't left alone for long periods. I am primarily available for early morning walks, midday drop-ins, and overnight house sitting. When I’m house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. Since I’m often working on my creative projects, I am the perfect "passive companion" for pets who thrive on having someone in the room. You can expect frequent photo updates and open communication so you can have total peace of mind while you're away. As a SCAD student, my schedule is consistent and easy to plan around. I’m available for morning and evening walks, and I strategically use the breaks between my classes to check in on your pets. When I’m house sitting, I treat your home with the utmost respect. My own experience raising a puppy has made me highly disciplined with routines; I ensure your dog gets their exercise, feedings, and plenty of one-on-one attention exactly when they expect it. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick walk or staying the night, your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! In Your Home: Safety is my top priority. Having a puppy of my own, I am hyper-aware of 'pet-proofing'. keeping chewable hazards, toxic plants, and small objects out of reach. I am a firm believer in the 'Double-Door' rule and always ensure gates or doors are secure before unleashing a pet. During walks, I am vigilant about surroundings, keeping a firm grip on the leash and avoiding interactions with unknown dogs to ensure a stress-free experience." Building Trust: I understand that your home is your sanctuary. I pride myself on being respectful, clean, and communicative. I provide detailed photo and text updates after every walk or check-in so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. As a SCAD student, I am used to following strict schedules, so you can trust that feedings, medications, and potty breaks will happen exactly on time.

“Travis is phenomenal! Very respectful of my home and pets needs! Communicated quickly and was flexible to my pets needs and any changes that came up, especially with our puppy. He takes amazing photos too, I loved every single one he sent as an update! Super trustworthy!”
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.

We will definately use her for future sitting and highly recommend her T.o Weber”

“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”
“Marilynn is such an amazing dog sitter! She was so welcoming and loving to my Maizey. Maizey can be anxious and Marilynn made her feel so comfortable in her home, especially around other dogs. It was a great experience for me and the dog! We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Yolanda was such a wonderful sitter! She provided pictures and updates everyday so we knew that our fur baby was well taken care of! We will definitely reach out to her again!!”
“Our situation was dire when we requested help and Ann and Arman responded immediately and with much warmth. I would recommend them wholeheartedly..I feel like they went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you for the great care you provided for our boy! Carol and Elaine”
“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.”
“Kelli was amazing with my dog Dusty!! She sent frequent updates throughout my time away and made me feel very comfortable through the whole process. My dog definitely loved spending time with her. Would highly recommend Kelli and will definitely be using her services again!”
“Ester was great with Zeus. Zeus is very energetic, and had a wonderful time. I was sent videos of him during his stay. Will definitely book with Ester again.”
“Elizabeth and her family took great care of my dog, Reba. She was communicative and flexible with me and provided sweet picture updates for me. I have already re-booked with Elizabeth to watch Reba, again!”
“So kind and accommodating. It was great that she had a dog as it helped mine feel at ease. Sara asked for a meet & greet to make sure we were on the same page. Thank you for taking him to the dog park, his favorite place to be. Will definitely ask to rebook with her if needed on my next visit. Thank you Sara!”
“Joe was amazing! He sent pictures at least twice a day while our family was on vacations. Picked up Koa and she was happy, looked great! Hands down the best boarding experience so far. Highly, highly recommend!”
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
“I am so glad I found MJ. He is a wonderful sitter, he takes his role on here very seriously. He took Anna to the park to play, there was snuggle time and Anna was a very happy girl when I saw her again. I would use and recommend MJ.”
