It has been such a joy over the last 8 months to have Michelle walking our pup. She is flexible, reliable, and just a really good person, too. Great with our dog, even when she is naughty. Highly recommend!

Joseph is great with our AmStaff. The basics of timely and great communication definitely met. But then way above and beyond in his care and exercise of a high energy 5 year old Staffie. Koda is is noticeably and positively impacted by the days Joseph visits. Strongly recommend!!!

Be prepared for a very thorough prep meeting and detailed updates- like you may expect with a babysitter for a child. Allison wouldn’t be a good fit for someone who is looking for an especially quick key transfer; she takes this very seriously. She worked with my pup on reinforcing some of the training we were doing and communicated about her behavior in detailed notes. She definitely went above and beyond- exactly what you would want for your fur baby.

Lexi is very punctual and easy to work with. She takes great care of our pup and went above and beyond with extra requests today to get him some water and put him in his crate when they got back from their walk. Thank you, Lexi!

This was the second time working with Brenda. She did a great job again. I received updates and pictures with every walk/ visit and medication was administered according to instruction.

About: I have a genuine love for animals. I proudly volunteer at the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin, where I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. That extra experience means I bring not just walks but patience, training awareness, and heart to every visit. Your pet isn’t just on my schedule, they’re part of my pack. 🐾 I work part-time and offer dog walking and drop-in visits for any type of animal during my off hours during the week. Weekends are usually pretty open! Safety, trust, and comfort are at the heart of everything I do. I care for my own pets in a calm, loving environment and treat every animal in my care as if they were part of my family. You can trust that your pets will be safe, respected, and genuinely loved. Their well-being always comes first. 🐾

Cloey did such a great job walking our dog Lily! She was timely and communicative. Lily got bored with walking so Cloey filled up the remaining time playing with her in the backyard. Lily loved her time with Cloey. Would recommend her to anyone!

About: I have had pet care experience with a neighbor for four years now. And I have also helped own a dog for 8 years. With my neighbor I do pet sitting/drop in visits, dog walking, and cat care. With my own dog, I have had him since he was a puppy, and he is my best friend. I have had experience living with him, walking him, feeding him, and bathing and grooming him as well. I would do anything for my dog, and I will transfer that love to all animals I meet. I am a college student and my plan is to do this during my winter break between semesters. Since I will not have school during this time, my schedule is very free and flexible. I am doing this to have something to look forward to every day during break. So I am very open on a daily basis to accommodate to your schedule. My plan is to do services that are in my clients home because my dog right now doesn't always work well with others. So when I am in my clients home I will treat all people, items, and pets with the utmost respect and kindness. I will care for your pets on drop-in visits and on walks like they are my own.

About: I have had experience watching dogs since I was 12. My neighbors often have me walk their dogs when they are unable, and about a year ago I started watching my family and friend’s dogs when they are out of town. I currently work part-time and I don’t have school during the summer so I am free most week days. I am also available on various weekends depending on my other job’s schedule. I create a safe environment in client’s homes by ensuring the dog has nothing dangerous within reach. Keeping a clean and safe space helps the both the dog and owner feel more at ease.

About: Hi, I’m Ruby! I'm a Humane Society volunteer and I’ve been house sitting and taking care of animals for about six years. I’m a college student planning to study animal behavior and marine biology, and I’m using this opportunity to get more hands on experience with animals while saving up for school. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, chickens, goats, horses, birds, fish, and more, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and care needs. I take pet care seriously and always do my best to follow routines and make animals feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. If you’re looking for someone responsible, experienced, and passionate about animals, I’d be happy to help! I’m currently a college student and in the fall and spring have classes 4 days a week (Mon-Thurs) in the mornings and in the afternoons. I am very flexible other than that! I am here to assist following the usual routines of the animals in my care and to ensure that they are safe, healthy, and happy.
