“Kaitlyn was amazing! She updated daily and made sure our babies were so well taken care of. She went above and beyond and I’m so grateful we chose to book with her. I will absolutely be booking her for any future needs for our pups.”

“Sarah did a great job with our highly anxious dog. I know she was really stressed being away from our family, so we appreciate all Sarah did. She worked with us when we had to adjust who picked our dog up and we had no issues.”


“We are very happy with the care our puppy received during the nine days she was with Deanne. We received an update with pictures approximately every two days. We would not hesitate to book with her again.”

“5 stars!! ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 💫 ⭐️ Jessica is amazing! She graciously dealt with our uncertain and hetic schedules. She went over and above, driving to my home to pick my dog up. Even when he was initially bashful/scared, she waited and took extra time. Gave him extra love and care, car rides, treats, and nap time together. I felt he was safe, content, and at ease while in Jessica’s home. We will definitely be hiring her again!!”

“Brandi kept our yappy dachshund for the second time this fall, and we very much appreciate Brandi’s patience and love she gave our pup. Brandi has other pets in the house, which to us is a bonus, since it gives our dog some much needed experience with other dogs! We highly recommend Brandi!”

“Starla had a wonderful weekend at Natasha's! We got frequent photos and videos of her having a great time playing in the big, fenced yard and going on walks. Definitely recommend and will rebook in the future!”

About: I've been a dog owner for as long as I can remember. I currently have one nine year old Chihuahua mix on seizure medicine twice a day. We have a fenced in yard with a chain link fence perfect for letting your dog run around. I am usually up by 5am to go for a run or cycle. I work from home regularly so I can be flexible with letting the dogs out. I have a fenced in yard with one friendly dog of my own to keep your dog company. I have cameras in the home to keep an eye on the pups if I do need to run out.

“I am very glad that we chose Laurie to watch our dog while we went out of town. Honestly, our dog is anxious around new people, but you wouldn't know it with how well she took to Laurie and Mike during our meet and greet. I was very impressed with the whole experience. Laurie responded very quickly to my questions, sent us photos of the stay, and was more than willing to let us adjust our drop off/pick up times. Everything was handled so well, I definitely recommend her!”

“Stacy welcomed my dog into her house and treated him as her own. Rudy loved playing and snuggling with her family! She communicated well and made sure she understood his needs. I will use Stacy again.”

“Gilian was an amazing choice for boarding my dog! First we did a meet and greet at a local dog park, and then welcomed my dog to her home for a week+ of boarding. My anxious pup felt comfortable here after a couple days, and was well cared for. We can't do boarding kennels because of my dog's anxiety, so I'm so glad we found this service! I got updates daily about activities and behavior, as well as photos and videos! Gilian is knowledgeable handling anxious dogs, and she has good techniques on introducing dogs to new environments, dogs and people to help ease anxiety. I highly recommend Gilian!”

“Once again Katie and DJ have taken excellent care of my special needs pup. He is so happy to go to their house, he doesn’t even care that I am leaving. LOL 😂 seriously amazing family that love the animals they care for.”

“Kylie took care of our Penny (dachshund) for a long stay while we were on vacation. After meeting her, we felt very comfortable leaving her for such an extended period of time. We felt confident that she would be well cared for and she was! Kylie was flexible and caring during her stay and took great care of Penny, even when her new food gave her tummy trouble...we so appreciated it! We would not hesitate to book again with Kylie in the future!”

“Rachel was wonderful with my two dogs. They felt right at home with her family. She's great with dogs and is very aware of tfeir behaviors. She proactively met with us prior to the stay to see how my dogs would interact with some of the other dogs she watches. Everything worked out great. I would highly recommend Rachel.”

Traci made my girl feel right at home and sent me updates and pictures that really eased any worries I may have had. I will definitely request Traci again in the future.”

About: I have had cats in my family since the day I was born. Currently, there are five cats in my home and I help care for all of them! I make sure they are fed, have their water changed, and have their litter scooped every day. I have lots of experience with cats of all ages from 2-month-old kittens to 20-year-old seniors. I have been trusted to help take care of other people’s cats as well, and I hope you can trust me now to do the same! I am a college student, and so I am busy on weekdays during the school year, but during the summer, I am happy to do all weekdays and weekends during working hours (depending on my schedule with any other jobs) while you are on a trip that requires leaving your cats at home.

“Sarah and her pack did awesome!!! Can't thank her enough for taking in Winnie on such short notice. When I picked up Winnie I was taken back at how much Winnie had bonded with Sarah in such a short period of time. Sarah was aware of Winnie's IBD issues and updated me on how she did. I really appreciated her for that!!!! This family definitely loves dogs!!!”

“So flexible and helpful with my pup! I trust her 100% and know when I pick my dog up she will be tired from playing outside, with toys or with other dogs! I highly recommend Ashlee and will continue to use her for all of our dog sitting needs!”


“This was our first visit with Deanne. Doggy Daycare was a hit! Cash was happy when I picked him up. He was sound asleep on the couch within a 1/2 of getting home. I think he had a busy day with his new lil buddy!”

About: Welcome to your furry friends pawcation retreat in Eagle, WI. Pet sitting, grooming and showing dogs is my full time passion (can't say job because I love what I do) not just extra income. I take every furry guest seriously and treat them like my own. My home is a retreat for your dog to feel comfortable, safe, relaxed all while enjoying the joys of being in a dog friendly home. I have been caring and showing dogs for over 30 years. My home has a large 6’ high fenced in area with doggie windows for potty breaks. I always go outside with them to supervise as it's just the routine that I do with my own dogs. I only cater to a few dogs at a time and that allows more attention for our furry friends. They can hang out with our resident Field Spaniel furkids, Starlet, Russell, KC and Trixie. Some dogs are quick to play and explore, while some dogs are shy and require more attention. I love all dogs and adapt my approach to your dog’s personality. If you see I am not available for certain dates, but still want service if I can rearrange I try to accommodate. In some examples of accommodation it has turned from pet sitting needs in the sitters home into me traveling to your house instead. ~~~ Check out my review stay photos to have a glimpse of the spoiling that your dog(s) will receive in my care. ~~~ In addition, I match the activities to each furry guest while they are boarding and that includes pets with special needs. Each day or overnights may include dog walks, car rides, playing fetch and simply being a house dog lounging on the couch. Additional services offered include pampering in the doggie spa or focusing on dog training sessions. Think of our home as a pet friendly home for pet sitting and dog grooming. We want all the dogs to feel as if they are home while you are away having fun. Dogs that work well in my home: I do not accept high energy dogs or dogs that are too large to handle. I prefer dogs that are calmer and dogs that can be left loose and do not mark on furniture. Please be honest when making a doggie overnight reservation. I understand dog behavior and know what works well with my own dogs. About my yard: 6’ high fenced yard with doggie windows for the dogs to see outside the yard. (Please note some of the photos seen are from an older house and not my newer resident in Eagle, Wi) Why I love dog sitting: I have been caring for dogs for over 30 years. My house and energy is very calming. My house is a retreat for dogs while the parents are away on vacations. I look forward to having your furkid(s) stay with me soon! Sincerely, Kylie I currently stay at home full time and can dedicate all my time as needed to our furry guests. They are my number one focus! Typical day can be waking up early (between 4am and 6am to let out and feed), all the fun stuff in between and bedtime is around 8pm due to my significant others schedule. 6’ high fenced yard with doggie windows for the dogs to see outside the yard. In addition, I have a safety plan in place because the dogs come first before my needs.
“My dog had a great time staying at Tina and Cameron's for a fun-filled day of daycare. She enjoyed two walks, got to run around in their large fenced in backyard, and was able to socialize with their two dogs! Tina was so sweet and I felt really comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. You can tell right away that her and Cameron are extremely knowledgeable and have a lot of experience in caring for dogs. My dog came home very happy and ready for a nap - perfect! :) Definitely will be a repeating customer!”

About: Ever since I was a little kid, I have loved animals! I grew up with 2 Siberian husky’s with tons of energy!

I have pet sat for friends, neighbors, and others in the community since I can remember! Since moving to Milwaukee, I want to get to know and love more furry friends! I am currently a teacher in Milwaukee! As summer time is quickly approaching *yayy* I want to fill my time with some furry friends! I am available for most of the summer, and during the school year, I work during the day, but have decent hours to be able to come home and play in the afternoons! I have a private, secure yard where your pet can safely play and relax. I also don’t have any children or pets of my own, so your fur baby will receive my full attention, care, and love during their stay.

They are all very friendly.
“My dog Cooper had never stayed with anyone but family in his 5+ years so I did a lot of research before I chose Gilian for doggie daycare and I’m so glad I did! She was great at our initial meeting with Cooper and expertly assessed his personality and needs. I had immediate trust in her dog care knowledge and felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care. He had a great time at his first day and was totally tired out that night after playing all day. I look forward to many more fun daycare days for Cooper with Gilian!”


About: Dogs have always been a huge part of our family. Last year, we said goodbye to our English Bulldog after 12 wonderful years, and while my family is not quite ready for another forever pup yet, I am excited to open our home and hearts to other dogs in the meantime. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have lots of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, and I'll treat your dog like part of the family. Whether your pup loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just relaxing company, I'm happy to provide a loving and comfortable environment. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide flexible scheduling, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of companionship and supervision while in my care. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits with a schedule that can accommodate most pet needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in the country on a full acre with a large fenced-in backyard, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run, explore, and play. Our home provides a calm, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed while away from their families. Because I work from home full-time, pets receive lots of supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. I’ll always treat your dog like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved during their stay.

I also take them for walks . I am a college student so my schedule is very open. I have a few hours between classes, Which will make it easy to go take care of pets! I don't have my place due to living on campus however I will be careful and safe around your environment to make sure your fur babies are comfortable.
About: My family has always had dogs and cats growing up that started out as puppies and taking care of them every day. I take them out, feed them, and clean up after them. I am currently working full time at my job, but I don't work Wednesdays or Sundays and I could do Monday and Saturday mornings before 2. I can walk, feed, and look after pets. I have experience in both dogs and cats, so I know how to clean up with both pets.
About: I frequently pet sit for my both my sisters and parents animals. One was a siberian husky, another is a dachsund/terrier mix and the others were a mixed hound breed and a poodle/bichon frise. I also petsit and did overnight visits with a previous professors golden retriever and golden/Irish setter mix. I own a small mixed breed dog (similar to a Jack russell)Russell, and grew up with a Brittany Spaniel and a West Highland White Terrier. I also have frequent contact with my boyfriends parents dogs: a dachshund, and a cattle dog. I work part-time currently, and am scheduled Wed, Thurs, and Fri, and the occasional Saturday. I am available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day, and mornings on Wed, and Thurs. I currently live in a condo so my small dog is ideal for the space. Since my dog is reactive to other dogs, I would be doing only clients homes overnights, visits, and walks.
About: I have had pets my entire life, and have been around friends and family who do as well. I grew up with a dog and multiple cats so I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have also recently found an interest in visiting animals at the shelter and gently connecting with them where they’re at and giving them the love they deserve in their own individual way. I value how every animal is very unique and enjoy getting to spend time with and understand them. I currently have some part time things going on, but multiple times a week I can fit in time for pet care including time on the weekends. At this point I won’t be able to care for pets in my home. But I am responsible and trustworthy, and can follow directions and ask follow up questions should there be any-trying my best to provide the most honest and authentic pet care as possible.
About: I have had pets since I was 5 years old. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats of mg own. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of animals and giving them love and attention. I have also cared for friends and families pets and they have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and administer medication. I am a huge animal lover and have also fostered kittens, cats, and dogs. I work from home so I am able to be flexible with whenever I am needed. I make my own schedule which works out really nicely. I have a home with a large fenced in backyard that my dogs love to run around and play in. They are always supervised though.
About: I have taken care of many different pets throughout my life but have a special love for dogs and cats! Past employers, neighbors, friends and family have all relied on me to care for their furry friends and I would love to care for yours as well! I am available any time of day to care for your furry friends, however, I typically tend to do most of my walks during normal working hours when clients are unable to walk their dogs or take them outside due to working away from the home. As a huge animal lover, you can ensure your pet will receive lots of love, affection, and treats from me! I love to take long walks and make an awesome fetch partner.
About: We have grown up with animals our entire lives. Currently, we have two charming dogs and one adorable cat. Our top priority is to create a nurturing environment where animals feel safe, secure and at ease. We also have two younger children in the home, so any visiting dogs would have to be okay with them. All interactions are supervised for everyone's safety. Please message me with any questions. I work Tuesday - Friday, leaving Monday for the dogs (and cats)! Our children are involved in almost every sport possible, and we love taking our dogs with us to their practices and games. Yours can join too if they are up to it! Playing fetch, tug of war, or just cuddling on the couch, whatever it is that suits your dog best, we are up for it! I am available for drop-ins after morning school drop-off, during lunch and before school pick-up on Monday’s, along with offering dog walks in the morning and afternoon hours on Mondays. We appreciate your understanding, and cooperation. Your dog/cat will be treated like a member of our family, and I will do my best to ensure they enjoy their time. They will enjoy 1:1 time, being spoiled, and treated like royalty.

“Kaitlyn was amazing! She updated daily and made sure our babies were so well taken care of. She went above and beyond and I’m so grateful we chose to book with her. I will absolutely be booking her for any future needs for our pups.”

“Sarah did a great job with our highly anxious dog. I know she was really stressed being away from our family, so we appreciate all Sarah did. She worked with us when we had to adjust who picked our dog up and we had no issues.”


“We are very happy with the care our puppy received during the nine days she was with Deanne. We received an update with pictures approximately every two days. We would not hesitate to book with her again.”

“Brandi kept our yappy dachshund for the second time this fall, and we very much appreciate Brandi’s patience and love she gave our pup. Brandi has other pets in the house, which to us is a bonus, since it gives our dog some much needed experience with other dogs! We highly recommend Brandi!”

“Starla had a wonderful weekend at Natasha's! We got frequent photos and videos of her having a great time playing in the big, fenced yard and going on walks. Definitely recommend and will rebook in the future!”


“I am very glad that we chose Laurie to watch our dog while we went out of town. Honestly, our dog is anxious around new people, but you wouldn't know it with how well she took to Laurie and Mike during our meet and greet. I was very impressed with the whole experience. Laurie responded very quickly to my questions, sent us photos of the stay, and was more than willing to let us adjust our drop off/pick up times. Everything was handled so well, I definitely recommend her!”

“Gilian was an amazing choice for boarding my dog! First we did a meet and greet at a local dog park, and then welcomed my dog to her home for a week+ of boarding. My anxious pup felt comfortable here after a couple days, and was well cared for. We can't do boarding kennels because of my dog's anxiety, so I'm so glad we found this service! I got updates daily about activities and behavior, as well as photos and videos! Gilian is knowledgeable handling anxious dogs, and she has good techniques on introducing dogs to new environments, dogs and people to help ease anxiety. I highly recommend Gilian!”

“Once again Katie and DJ have taken excellent care of my special needs pup. He is so happy to go to their house, he doesn’t even care that I am leaving. LOL 😂 seriously amazing family that love the animals they care for.”

“Kylie took care of our Penny (dachshund) for a long stay while we were on vacation. After meeting her, we felt very comfortable leaving her for such an extended period of time. We felt confident that she would be well cared for and she was! Kylie was flexible and caring during her stay and took great care of Penny, even when her new food gave her tummy trouble...we so appreciated it! We would not hesitate to book again with Kylie in the future!”

“Rachel was wonderful with my two dogs. They felt right at home with her family. She's great with dogs and is very aware of tfeir behaviors. She proactively met with us prior to the stay to see how my dogs would interact with some of the other dogs she watches. Everything worked out great. I would highly recommend Rachel.”

“Sumer was so good with my pup! She also sent me pictures about every other day, which really helped set me at ease. She is super sweet, and I will definitely use her again! 💜”

About: My lifelong love of dogs has turned into an opportunity to help others by caring for your furry friends in my home. I ❤️ dogs! With my part-time schedule I have am able to spend plenty of time at home with furry friends of all sizes. I am flexible to care for dogs during the week and on weekends. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have extra crates if that would be more convenient for you.
“Luna loved her stay! We got plenty of photo updates and they did everything they could to show us our dog was in great hands while we were away. We will definitely be a repeat customer in the future.”

“I feel really comfortable leaving my pup with Joanne. She sent me pictures and updates on Ginger every day - they made me smile! Was wonderful to know my pup was being loved and so well cared for while I was away! Thank you, Joanne!”

“Great to work with! Helped me out in a pinch with my 3 dogs which can be quite a handful at times, but she welcomed them right in to her home for the weekend and they had a great time, even slept in bed all together with her! Sent pictures and video and kept in constant communication. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thanks Rebecca!!”


About: Dogs have always been a huge part of our family. Last year, we said goodbye to our English Bulldog after 12 wonderful years, and while my family is not quite ready for another forever pup yet, I am excited to open our home and hearts to other dogs in the meantime. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have lots of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, and I'll treat your dog like part of the family. Whether your pup loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just relaxing company, I'm happy to provide a loving and comfortable environment. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide flexible scheduling, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of companionship and supervision while in my care. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits with a schedule that can accommodate most pet needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in the country on a full acre with a large fenced-in backyard, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run, explore, and play. Our home provides a calm, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed while away from their families. Because I work from home full-time, pets receive lots of supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. I’ll always treat your dog like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved during their stay.
“Kortney was outstanding with our Belgian Malinois and our Border Collie! The dogs felt right at home, and she made sure we were comfortable as well! Highly recommend!”

“Dina was amazing with our two fur kids! She really took great care of them and sent us updates, pictures and videos of them having fun. We could tell they felt right at home! Definitely recommend her to take care of your fur kids and we will want her to take care of our kids when we travel again. Thanks Dina!!?”
“Clarissa really looked after our dog while we were on vacation for 8 days. She picked him up and ripped him off. He came back looking healthy and relaxed. Much better than boarding. Will use her services again in future.”
