About: I have been around animals in my family my whole life and have always enjoyed taking care of them and keeping them entertained. I have been working at Central Bark Doggy Daycare for 5 months and have experience with lots of breeds! I am currently working part time, and am on summer break from school, I'd like to spend my free time taking care of as many pups as possible. I live with my parents and pets of my own so my house is not available for pet care. But when I am in a clients home I always leave it just as neat as I left it. I would prefer if I knew where all cleaning supplies are in order to clean up any pet messes!

Have rebooked Kathy a few times because she takes such great care of my kitties. She’s also very accommodating when I ask for other little things, like feeding the fish, and watering plants.

Initially, Ivy came over for a meet and greet and our dogs took to her quickly, which is always a huge sign for me! Since then she’s been accommodating, personable, easy to communicate with and great with our dogs! I’d highly recommend her!

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.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little. We adopted my first dog when I was 9 years old, and now he is a senior dog that requires time, care and attention. I have experience with all ages of dogs and cats, and am dedicated to making your fur baby feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to make sure your cat or dog gets the best time and attention even when you are not home. I am currently working part-time at a yoga studio! I have plenty of time on the side to play with your pups or hangout with some cats! I have availability during the day M-F and Saturday mornings currently. I can be very flexible to accommodate your schedule to make sure your fur babies are taken care of. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and cared for while you're away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while maintaining a clean and safe environment. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else's care, so I will keep you updated with messages and photos throughout my visits. As a psychology graduate with experience working in caregiving and support roles, I am patient, attentive, and committed to creating a positive experience for both pets and their owners.

About: Hi, my name is Missy I've had a great deal of experience with all different kinds of animals. I worked with a local vet helping place feral cats in homes and providing excellent care for them. Including helping pregnant feral cats with delivery and maternal care. I have volunteered at the Wisconsin Humane Society. There I worked in the Wildlife rehabilitation center as well as the dog care center. I currently own dogs and cats of my own and I recognize how important it is to provide excellent care as well as exercise and playtime. I have past experience in boarding and dog sitting in my home which has always been a great experience. Can't wait to give the love and care your dog(s) deserve!

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 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.

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.

Grateful for Aiden and all she did for us while we were out of town. It was a relief to know my cat was so well cared for and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Aiden to anyone. I'm not even sure my cat is happy we're back - I think she misses Aiden 😊.

Cindy had been wonderful! She asked questions about Vladimir’s schedule, behaviors, even where he likes to sleep. She pays close attention to directions and details and is an excellent communicator! I feel very comfortable leaving Vladimir in her care. I know he will be loved on, cared for, and is safe. Vladimir loved her immediately and we’re lucky to have found her!
