“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!”
“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!”
“Maria & Nayibe are the BEST Sitters! It was so comforting to me to see daily videos and notes every day. They always answered all my questions and I could tell they really cared. I could see that my puppy was so happy and comfortable. He had exercise every day running around in the yard and playing with the other dogs. He had been having some eating issues at home and Maria knew just what to do to improve them. He even gained weight there and outgrew his harness. They had a brand new harness for him when I picked him up. I will definitely use them whenever I go away. I cannot say enough good things about them.”
“Dan and Holly were just awesome! My Toby has a wonderful time vacationing with them and their bassetts. You can tell they are extremely passionate dog lovers and genuinely enjoy and love every dog that comes into their home. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Our dog Dexter had the best weekend with Rhonda! He met new friends, had many walks, and was a happy boy when we picked him up! Thank you Rhonda for taking such good care of Dexter for us! We will definitely book Rhonda again! ❤️”
“Elizabeth is so friendly I immediately knew Spike was in good hands. Even better, her two boys are full of joy and were ready to pet and snuggle with my pup. When I came to pick Spike up, he looked ready to stay with his new friends!”
“We couldn't be happier with Sarah! Her and her family were incredibly reliable, warm & welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure Moose was comfortable and well-cared for. When our flight was changed last minute, Sarah was understanding and flexible. We appreciated the daily updates and so many amazing photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy Moose was during his stay. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! We will absolutely be rebooking for our next vacation.”
“Great place to board our dog for a week away. Stacey was super responsive and kept us in the loop the whole time. Definitely hope to have her watch our dog again in the future.”
“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!”
“I can't be thankful enough. He was not only perfect in taking care of my 8 month old puppy, he was flexible in timing as well if you want an ease of mind I do 100% recommend him.”
“MJ is the best! He's super kind, flexible, and his love and knowledge of animals is clear. My dog is shy and sad when I go away, but I know he feels comfortable at MJ's, and that makes traveling easier. Thanks!”
“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 🐾”
“Yolanda took very good care of both of our babies. As we were dropping them off one of our dogs was bleeding from biting their lip and Yolanda quickly took care of it and healed the injury. We received photos of our babies and we also had a very detailed conversation about how our babies were while in their care which made us feel more comfortable as we do have pit bulls and they have a bad stigma on them but the understanding that Yolanda and her husband have with this breed was very important and reassuring to know that we are able to trust them with our dogs.”
“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!”
“Lisa was great with my dog and made it a smooth pick-up and drop-off process. I could tell my dog was comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely recommend booking with her!”
“Michelle was so sweet and very attentive while she was keeping our puppy! This was the first time we had someone else watch her (outside of family), and Michelle made us feel like she WAS with family. She sent a ton of update pictures and notes over the two days. When our puppy got home, she was exhausted from all the playing! We will bring her back to Michelle for sure!”
“Nikki was great. She sent us frequent updates of our dog and even some pictures over the weekend. This was the first time we left our dog with someone that she was not familiar with, and it could not have gone any better! Nikki was flexible with drop off and pick up and answered all of our questions. I would love to use her again if we need!”

“Liz was amazing! She was so sweet to our two cats and took excellent care of them. She also took her son over to visit them one night and he was great with them. Can’t recommend her enough, we are immediately rebooking for our next weekend trip.”
“Kristy did a great job caring for my kitty. She was prompt and clear with all our communications, starting with the first meeting, and was very pleasant to work with. I'll definitely contact her again next time.”
“Jeremy was great! He obviously enjoys taking care of animals and he went the extra mile for us to get an extra feeding visit in. We will happily use him again!”
“Julia took excellent care of my rabbit! My bunny requires meds twice a day and has a special diet - she was super patient and gentle with him, along with being communicative about each visit. Can't reccommend enough!”
“Emily is great to work with, she was prompt to respond and set up a meet and greet. And Theo took to her right away! I came back home to a much cleaner house and a well cared for cat. Would definitely recommend working with her!”
About: I have a diverse experience of taking care of dogs. One of my previous jobs was working in a dog daycare/kennel where I took care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have been a dog walker and sitter for many years now, and have been around dogs my whole life! I currently own a mini poodle puppy! I am currently a full time student and can help walk your dog on weekends, holidays, and some odd days throughout the week. My schedule does change, so I can’t provide consistent care, but would love to help out when I can! I take dog walking very seriously, and make sure that the dog’s safety is prioritized. It make sure to be very observant of the dog’s surroundings and temperament, and will be ready to pivot whenever necessary. Communication is very important to me, so I am as prepared as possible for every situation.
About: **update** I’ve moved neighborhoods! I now live near Wauwatosa! I do have a fenced in yard! I’ll still take clients in Bayview too! ☺️☺️ I had a dog in my house every since I was in elementary school, and loved each one of them more than anything in the world. I have been dog sitting since my mid 20s, and thoroughly enjoy taking care of and loving dogs of all sizes! I work close to home Wednesday through Sunday, no more than 7 hours at a time. That leaves plenty of time for several walks, playtime and the dog park(if allowed). I live 2 blocks from several parks and a 10 minute drive to 3 dog parks. Your pup(s) will get plenty of exercise and have free roam of my house, and can sleep wherever they choose including the furniture and beds(unless otherwise instructed:) )
About: I have lived in a household with cats ever since I was two! I have had experience with all different types of cat personalities from family and friend's pets and I love them all so much!
About: I have grown up with Golden Retrievers my whole life as my dad hunted with them and trained them for Field trials. We always had three in our home. Once we even had a litter of puppies and there is nothing better than puppy kisses. I personally have had two Black labs, one that was so content to lounge and be a couch potato and my current lab at 8 years old fools everyone into thinking she is 2 or 3 with how active she is. Because of her I understand the importance of walks and her needing lots of exercise, new sights and smells. I have a flexible work schedule and typically only work 3 days a week so I can be there to ensure your pup gets what they need. Happy to play in the yard or walk as needed to make sure your pup is content. Just let me know what their rules are and I'm happy to follow to ensure they are happy and healthy.
“Leandra took great care of the girls while I was away! Very communicative and kind and clearly loves animals. This is the second time she’s taken care of the cats and would definitely ask her again!”
“Nicole took amazing care of my cat! He's normally skittish, but he warmed up to her right away during the initial visit, and even let her brush him. Nicole sent update photos every day and I could tell how happy he was to see his new playmate during her visits. When I got home everything was in order (except of course for the toys my mischievous boy likes to redistribute). I'll definitely be booking with Nicole again the next time I'm out of town!”
“Erica was a huge help and accepted my request on very short notice! She did a great job taking care of my cat, Ladybug, and provided updates after every visit. Thanks, Erica!”
About: Primarily had two wonderful cats. The first is Ghost who I raised from when she was abandoned and the size of my hand until she passed away at age 19-1/2. The second is Harmony which we adopted and raised from age 3-ish to 18-ish. From time to time I have checked in on friends cats while they are out for basic feeding/kitty litter things, along with some socialization/cuddle time. We have two+ dogs at any time and haven't had cats in a few years, so care would only be at your home just to keep things good for my household.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. I don’t know what life is like without a furry companion! I have an 85 pound poodle mix. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes! I have a good amount of experience with both young and old dogs. My family’s 15 year old border terrier required many medications and special treatment. I have a lot of experience with dog and cat sitting as friends and neighbors have consistently counted on me to care for their beloved fur babies. I’m a very active individual who would love to take your dog for a walk, or even a run if they are up to it. I don’t start my job until middle of August so my schedule is quite open until then. Currently back & forth between Milwaukee area and Green Bay/De Pere area for the summer! I just graduated from UW Madison with my Masters in Speech Language Pathology. I currently have a very open schedule as I am not working until August. I am quite flexible! When staying at client’s homes I will do whatever makes the pet(s) and their owner’s feel most comfortable. I am the BIGGEST animal lover and will always put the pet’s priorities before mine! For dog walking, I will make sure the dog gets an adequate length of walk in relation to its size and its activity level. I am always willing to adjust my schedule in order to make the pet more comfortable and prioritized. I know how hard it is to be away from your pet, and because of this I will with no doubt give your pet so much attention and love! (And as many pictures and videos as you want!)
“You are a gem and I know that Fred is in the best hands. Thank you so much for loving him and making sure he is safe. I am so grateful for you! Fred always looks healthy and happy to see you, even tho he has old man grump face”

“Michelle took care of my very shy basset and he had a great time. He warmed up to her immediately and I was confident that they would do well together for the day. She sent several pictures of what they were doing over the course of the day. I am very pleased with Michelle and will definitely use her again.”
“Drew and Rue are awesome hosts! Luna and Rue became fast friends and they spent a lot of time playing and running around. Drew was kind enough to send pics and video to this nervous fur mom. He also asked if she had any particular routines to follow which was so appreciated. Luna has been good and tired out today so I could get some work done after I picked her up! Highly recommend Drew and Rue, we will be regular clients of theirs moving forward.”
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: I’m a psychotherapist by day and am in general a very calm person. I pay attention to your pets moods and energy level and remember that during the time they’re playing with me, they’re missing you! So I treat them as if they were my own. I’m a psychotherapist by day and am in general very calm: I pay attention to your pet’s moods and energy level. I keep in mind that all the while your fur baby is with me, they’re missing you! I treat them as I do my own puppy. I have a fenced yard. (2) 1/2 hour walks a day: 2-4 hour potty breaks. Lots of play time with balls and curiosity toys !
“Having our dog stay with MJ has been a great experience! We recently adopted a dog with fairly severe separation anxiety, and I'm not sure how we would have made it through the first months without having someone like MJ to watch her during the day while we work on alone time training. He's always very communicative and flexible, and our dog just loves him. You couldn't ask for a better dog sitter!”
About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for my large family & friends for years and just decided to see if anyone else would need the service. I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. I like hanging out with the pets like little buddies, getting some days of cuddles and then sending them home 😅. It’s the perfect way to get some fur baby time until I’m ready for my next dog or cat in the future. This is not a business for me, it’s something I have enjoyed doing for my family and friends, and if you want your beloved pet to be in a calm but fun, comfortable environment while you’re away, I can extend my service to you. I recently started doing home stays/drop ins for the pet sitting too and enjoyed it. I currently have a really flexible schedule with a lot of availability. I live with my dad that occasionally says hi if the dog or cat is friendly but mostly the house is big enough that they never cross paths. I have a fenced in yard and a big house with a lot of space that I can also section off by closing doors. I typically take the animals out several times a day, feed them, and let them roam around the house or snuggle with me. I like when pet owners bring a bed for their pets so I can make them their own space but they’re welcome to chill with me in whatever I’m doing. I’m youthful, active, and responsible. I have a naturally friendly, calm demeanor that animals and people respond well to. I have no pets right now but used to have a pit/black lab mix that I loved dearly so I love pits and other breeds with historically bad reputations. I frequently sit my aunt’s beagle mix who’s just a little old pup that sparked my interest for pet sitting cuz it was so fun to have visits from him. He and my old dog are in a bunch of my pics. With all animals I just try to make them comfortable and let them feel at home.

Each pet has their own needs and schedule.
“Daniel and Holly definitely love dogs and are personable and friendly every time we go there. They sent us numerous text messages, including pictures, telling us how things were going. Bug is a very active dog and really benefits from a couple walks each day. I’m not sure if that happened.”
About: I have had dogs of my own since I was 9 years old. I LOVE dogs--especially small ones! I have trained all of my dogs. I board friends' dogs in my home all the time, and am now excited to move into boarding strangers' dogs here on Rover! I work full-time, a mix of in-office and at home. I work from home on Thursdays and have flexibility on Fridays, so it works best for me to be able to provide boarding on long weekends (Thursday-Sunday). I am happy to provide your pet with seamless care and match what they are used to in your home. I have a large yard and a quiet neighborhood. My home has many rooms and I have some gates so that I can separate pets if needed. I also have a puppy play pen for smaller/younger pups who need their own space.
About: I’m a true animal lover. If it has paws, scales, fins, or whiskers, I’m already invested. I’ve cared for and fostered all kinds of pets over the years—dogs, cats, aquatic babies, reptiles, and the tiniest furry friends like bunnies and hamsters—so I’m comfortable across the board. To me, pets aren’t “just pets”…they’re family. My approach is calm, patient, and gentle. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and respect their boundaries so they always feel safe, understood, and comfortable. At home, I’ve got my own little zoo—2 sweet cats, a bearded dragon, 2 geckos, 4 snakes, and an adorable mouse—so trust me, I’m no stranger to unique personalities and specialized care. I would love to care for your pet when you need a break, go on vacation or when you make other plans. You can be assured that your pet is in good hands. To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. 📍 Located in Milwaukee – Capitol Heights area 🌻 I work from home so I’ll always have time to play, feed and love on your pet babies. I’m always flexible with their needs (bathroom breaks, medication, shyness) to make sure they are always comfortable. If my schedule or availability changes, I always send out updates to my calendar right away. ❤️ To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space for pets to roam, play and toilet if needed. Pets are always welcome to bring their own items. My 2 lovely cats are usually shy and more of the watching type, so they won’t bother your pets but will surely admire them from their cat trees. All activities and toileting are supervised. There is no smoking of any kind in my home or pet areas. There are some pictures of our living space in the photo collection on my Rover profile.
“Kim is amazing! We always have her watch our dachshund Wendi whenever we go out of town or have an event to go to. She is so responsive and such a kind person! When she’s watching our dog, we know our dog is in great hands.Our dog always comes home happy and sleepy after hanging out with Kim and her dog! Thank you!!”
“Erin is the best! So is her furry kid Woodson! She took my doggie in at the last minute on a snowy morning and he was so happy when we picked him up! She sent lots of updates the whole day, too! We will be asking her to watch King again??? THANK YOU ERIN!! We hit the jackpot finding you!”
“Yshonda has great communication and is very fast at responding. Hotch loves his time with her and he is always so excited to go and play! He always comes home exhausted from a day full of love and playtime!”
“Amazing communication and pictures throughout. Soba had such a great time hanging out with Tracie and Penny! She was totally pooped from all the fun we had by the time we got home. Would definitely bring soba back without hesitation.”
“Another wonderful visit for our Wilson with Mollie. He absolutely loves going to visit and always has so much with her, going on walks and playing with the other dogs. Mollie is a wonderful communicator, always easy to get in contact with and 100% honest and great to work with. It’s very comforting knowing Wilson has such a great person to be with when we are out of town, he gets so excited to go visit. Already makes plans for his next stay! Would 100% recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Bella, a professional dog trainer with over 7 years of hands-on experience working in advanced obedience, behavior modification, service dog foundations, and sport dog training. I’ve helped dogs and their families work through leash reactivity, anxiety, aggression, impulse control, and high-drive challenges—and I bring that same knowledge into every boarding, daycare, or drop-in service I offer. 🐾 What makes my care different? I provide structure, clear communication, enrichment, and individualized attention—not just cuddles and playtime. Whether your dog is working on manners or needs a calm, consistent place to stay, I’ve got you covered. 📍 Based in New Berlin 🏡 Calm home with safe setup (crate-trained dogs welcome!) ✅ Experience with large breeds, working dogs, and nervous pups 🦴 Optional training add-ons available during daycare or boarding Let me know your dog’s needs—I’m happy to customize care to give you peace of mind and your dog the routine they thrive in. (Website with training info available upon request.) Pet care is a central part of my daily life. I’m home during the day and structure my routine around walks, training sessions, feeding, and enrichment. Whether it’s daycare or boarding, dogs are integrated into a calm and structured environment throughout the day. I provide a peaceful, secure home environment with crate space available (if needed), structured downtime, and consistent routines. Dogs are supervised, enriched, and treated with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I’ve worked with everything from young puppies to high-drive working dogs to those needing a little extra patience or support.
About: I love dogs and animals - they really are the best! I have owned three for many years, raising two from being puppies, and addressing challenging behavior with an older doggo, in addition to fostering multiple rescue dogs. I recently moved to WI, and my pets stayed home with my partner for now, and miss my furry companions and want to provide love and care for yours while I’m here! I am happy to work with you on what’s best, whether that is house sitting, boarding, or simply letting your animals out on walks or to go potty. Let’s chat! I currently work from home and have a remote job, so can provide your dog with any needs or attention that makes sense based on their schedule. I have some in-person meetings that occur throughout the week, and am generally around on the weekends regularly. If planning on boarding or daycare, I now live in a home with a nice backyard. I can easily crate, take out for potty breaks, etc. I am also mindful of dog reactivity regardless of my own or neighbor’s dogs.

“I really appreciated Elizabeth's willingness to do a meet and greet before the first walk. She was super patient and understanding with my anxious pup. Would recommend!”
About: I've had multiple dogs over the last 30 years. Mainly Bull Mastiffs, Border Collie Mix, and multiple Pitties. We lately have been adopting older dogs to give them the best end of life possible. For friends I've watched many smaller to larger dogs, comfortable with all. I have experience with all sorts of meds and care, although I prefer to stay away from anything with needles when possible. We've been to the vet more times than I can count, and have gotten good at understanding/reading dog behavior and signs of distress. I have experience with all soft of personalities...shy or alpha, lazy or rambunctious, etc. I like to understand them and work with them where they are at so they enjoy themselves and are happy. I'm a pretty calm presence and in general dogs trust me right away. My wife will joke that I am a dog whisperer as dogs tend to follow my lead easily, but I think it is simply being confident and projecting that you are there to take care of them. I have a very flexible work schedule and am home most of the time. I only have 1 dog right now (Oscar, 82 lb Pitty who loves everything and everyone...he walks around with soft toys like they are his dolls), but will likely be back to 2 in the near future. I walk my pup(s) pretty much every day. We live near Hart Park and the Oak Leaf Trail so getting out to walk along the river/parks is very easy. New to doing this formally rather than just for friends. Normally watch friends dogs at their place. If we take care of your pup in our home, we will always have 1+ pups that will be other-dog friendly. My wife and I have a small Tosa home but fully fenced-in yard to be able to let them out at any time day or night without worry. We have a small main floor but it has 3-4 dog beds and multiple toys (prefer dogs who are ok with soft toys, as our pup(s) don't rip those up. Will likely prefer caring for your pup in your home, it simply mitigates the crowding in the house and any potential conflicts. If I look after any cats, those would be at your house. We no longer have cats and aren't prepped for that in any way.
About: I've been around dogs all my life and love giving them plenty of play time and attention. I also just recently gained experience with puppies. They are my favorites 🙂↕️ Availability: Wednesday: 8am to 10:30am/ 5pm to 10pm Thursday: 5pm to 10pm Open availability on Friday, Saturday and Sunday If you have any questions or requests outside of my schedule, I will do my best to work with you. I am a student in college currently. I typically do drop ins, I feed according to how the owner wants their pet fed, I play with them as much as possible and give plenty of love and attention
“Mary is great with our 10 month old Brittany! I’m impressed with her enthusiasm and she is a quick learner of his routines! She is helping us work on training which is so helpful. I would highly recommend Mary!”
About: I’ve worked as a dog groomer and at a dog kennel and I’ve also had lots of personal pets of my own from Puppies, Kittens, elder dogs with medications. So I can give your pets medications along with grooming and taking care of them in the aspect of making sure they’re healthy from working in a veterinary clinic in the grooming department. I am completely open, I have a pet cat that lives with my grandma so she’s taken care of fully so I can take care of your pets as needed as much as possible! I can take care of what you need in every aspect, whether you need your dog washed, nails trimmed, brush teeth, cat nail clipping, anything you ask I can bring and do for you for extra if needed! I also have a traveling pet bath with waterless shampoo and brush set for a good grooming if your pet needs it!

“Jessica is amazing! Our dog Gabby stayed with her during the day and they got to enjoy nice walks, go to the park and get lots of play time. Jessica kept us updated during the day and sent us lots of cute pictures. Gabby is excited to see her again!”
“Sydney was the best!!! She went above and beyond to keep me updated on our pets! And our dog Rigby loved her on their walks together! I definitely will be using Sydney again in the future!!!”
About: Dogs are my kind of people, loyal, silly, soulful, and always ready for a good walk or cuddle. I bring genuine enthusiasm to every visit, whether it’s tossing a tennis ball for the fifth time or patiently encouraging a shy pup to come out of their shell. Because I truly love dogs, I pay close attention to their routines, moods, and energy levels. Whether it’s a rambunctious retriever or a slow-strolling senior, I adapt my care to what makes them happiest and healthiest. Your dog isn’t just a client they become part of my daily joy. Pet care blends seamlessly into my daily rhythm, acting as gentle checkpoints that anchor my routine. Feeding, cleaning, and playtime create consistency, while weekly tasks like grooming or toy rotation keep things fresh. These moments build a quiet connection between me and my pet and often serve as welcome pauses in a busy day. For happy, healthy pets at home, stick to consistent routines, clean litter boxes and feeding schedules for cats, daily walks and playtime for dogs. Offer cozy spaces, rotate toys, and check their health regularly. A bit of structure and love goes a long way for any furry friend.
About: I have had dogs of my own since I was 9 years old. I LOVE dogs--especially small ones! I have trained all of my dogs. I board friends' dogs in my home all the time, and am now excited to move into boarding strangers' dogs here on Rover! I work full-time, a mix of in-office and at home. I work from home on Thursdays and have flexibility on Fridays, so it works best for me to be able to provide boarding on long weekends (Thursday-Sunday). I am happy to provide your pet with seamless care and match what they are used to in your home. I have a large yard and a quiet neighborhood. My home has many rooms and I have some gates so that I can separate pets if needed. I also have a puppy play pen for smaller/younger pups who need their own space.
“Melainie is so great with our chihuahua mix, Bowser. Bowser is a great judge of character and is very selective with who he will allow to rub his belly and he loved Melainie the second he met her!”
“Chelsea was great. She was very responsive and accommodating in dealing with multiple changes in my schedule. She also gave helpful updates while on my dog’s walk. I definitely plan to hire her again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. I don’t know what life is like without a furry companion! I have an 85 pound poodle mix. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes! I have a good amount of experience with both young and old dogs. My family’s 15 year old border terrier required many medications and special treatment. I have a lot of experience with dog and cat sitting as friends and neighbors have consistently counted on me to care for their beloved fur babies. I’m a very active individual who would love to take your dog for a walk, or even a run if they are up to it. I don’t start my job until middle of August so my schedule is quite open until then. Currently back & forth between Milwaukee area and Green Bay/De Pere area for the summer! I just graduated from UW Madison with my Masters in Speech Language Pathology. I currently have a very open schedule as I am not working until August. I am quite flexible! When staying at client’s homes I will do whatever makes the pet(s) and their owner’s feel most comfortable. I am the BIGGEST animal lover and will always put the pet’s priorities before mine! For dog walking, I will make sure the dog gets an adequate length of walk in relation to its size and its activity level. I am always willing to adjust my schedule in order to make the pet more comfortable and prioritized. I know how hard it is to be away from your pet, and because of this I will with no doubt give your pet so much attention and love! (And as many pictures and videos as you want!)
About: I can provide what your pet needs, whether your pet is young and hyper or a senior that needs extra patience. I have connected with animals of all ages and temperaments and can meet them where they are at! I am currently a law student, so I have mornings and afternoons available depending on the day. Tuesday and Thursday early mornings and midafternoon. Monday and Wednesday mornings and afternoons are free as well. My weekends are also free as needed! I am able to connect with pets of any age and experience. In a clients home and on walks I can meet the pet with what they need whether it be short potty break walks, cuddles, and/or extended long walks. I provide a loving, enriching time while pawrents are away.
“I was very worried about finding someone dependable to care for our dog while we're at work. Emma has been communicative and reliable, and a huge help to us. We would recommend her for anyone looking!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals of family and friends and always insured to give them so much love during those even small, short visits! I grew up with dogs, and when I was able to have a pet of my own, I got a very large orange cat! I’m comfortable around all dogs and I am willing and wanting to adapt to the needs of your furry friends. My time will be towards making your pet as comfortable and is happy as can be whether that is going on walks or even going to the park. I was previously available throughout June but since beginning a new job, I will be available on the weekends/weekday mornings/weekday evenings for drop-ins and walks! Just let me know what you need! When in your home, I would love to take your furry friend on a walk, to the park, or anything else that you do that makes your pet comfortable and happy!

“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!”

“Elizabeth is so friendly I immediately knew Spike was in good hands. Even better, her two boys are full of joy and were ready to pet and snuggle with my pup. When I came to pick Spike up, he looked ready to stay with his new friends!”
“We couldn't be happier with Sarah! Her and her family were incredibly reliable, warm & welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure Moose was comfortable and well-cared for. When our flight was changed last minute, Sarah was understanding and flexible. We appreciated the daily updates and so many amazing photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy Moose was during his stay. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! We will absolutely be rebooking for our next vacation.”
“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!”
“MJ is the best! He's super kind, flexible, and his love and knowledge of animals is clear. My dog is shy and sad when I go away, but I know he feels comfortable at MJ's, and that makes traveling easier. Thanks!”
“Yolanda took very good care of both of our babies. As we were dropping them off one of our dogs was bleeding from biting their lip and Yolanda quickly took care of it and healed the injury. We received photos of our babies and we also had a very detailed conversation about how our babies were while in their care which made us feel more comfortable as we do have pit bulls and they have a bad stigma on them but the understanding that Yolanda and her husband have with this breed was very important and reassuring to know that we are able to trust them with our dogs.”
“Lisa was great with my dog and made it a smooth pick-up and drop-off process. I could tell my dog was comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely recommend booking with her!”
“Michelle was so sweet and very attentive while she was keeping our puppy! This was the first time we had someone else watch her (outside of family), and Michelle made us feel like she WAS with family. She sent a ton of update pictures and notes over the two days. When our puppy got home, she was exhausted from all the playing! We will bring her back to Michelle for sure!”
“Nikki was great. She sent us frequent updates of our dog and even some pictures over the weekend. This was the first time we left our dog with someone that she was not familiar with, and it could not have gone any better! Nikki was flexible with drop off and pick up and answered all of our questions. I would love to use her again if we need!”
“Kim and Tom are THE best . We’ve had many stays and all have been great . Processional/ Reliable and Safe . Poppy and Dudley the Pugs LOVE coming for visits and can’t wait for the next one .”
“Becky was the best caregiver we found in the Milwaukee area for our pups. She is very communicative and gave our dogs the specific care they needed (one gets pretty anxious in new environments). We have hired her for single day care, an overnight, and a week-long trip out of state. She has a large backyard for the dogs to play in and lots of comfortable beds to rest for when they come inside. Most of all, we appreciate her daily pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”
“Always a great time at Scott & Ashley. Scott took care of Chewy’s insulin injections and eye drops. Leia is so happy with a lot of cuddles. We got los of pictures and updates.”
“My dog had never spent a night away from her own family but Cindy did everything to make her feel comfortable. Cindy communicated well, has a fair rate, and we'll definitely seek her out the next time we need boarding. Thank you!”
“Our dog loved her stay with Zach. He was very professional and flexible with our unique drop off/pick up needs. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Kristine was amazing! Super flexible, sent pictures every day and even celebrated our dog Theo's birthday while we were away. Highly recommend and will be a returning customer!”
