Dog Sitting Wauwatosa

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!

“Kelsey is our go-to pet sitter! She is always responsive, flexible, and so attentive to our pets. Even our neighbor commented to us on how our sitter goes above and beyond!”

About: While I don't own a pet I lived with pets almost my whole life until buying a home for myself. While I wait until the right pet comes along in my life I'll happily care for yours! Living near the Hank Aaron Trail allows plenty of time for walks or runs around the neighborhood. If your pet isn't a fan of long walks or runs that's okay, too! Couch time is always something to look forward to with a friendly dog as well. Happy to follow any and all rules owners have while going the extra mile to make sure your pet feels cared for every day I take care of them. Look no further for someone to dedicate their time for your pet than my home. I work full time in the Milwaukee area but am usually not gone for longer than 8.5 or 9 hours at a time. I make time right away in the morning and immediately after work to care for any of the pets that I am watching. If your pet is active I'll happily take it out for runs around the trail or make time to play with it either in my yard or at the park near me. I will happily take the time to play with your pet outside or just let it roam around and do its business if that is what your pet prefers. There aren't many dogs in the area that are out and about to worry about. I don't have a pet of my own that you need to worry about your pet being comfortable with, either. I work full time Monday to Friday and am gone for 8.5-9 hours at most. I make time in the mornings and after work to take dogs out for walks and regular exercises as needed. My schedule typically revolves around the dog I’m watching. While sitting dogs I make them my priority and try to give them as much attention as they desire or you would at your home. There are parks and open fields nearby to play in and plenty of sidewalks to roam and get a leisurely walk in.

About: What sets me apart is real, everyday experience — I'm currently raising two young Dobermans at home, so I understand the exercise, training, and attention that active breeds need. Before them, I have had past dog-sitting work, means I can confidently handle puppies still learning the ropes as well as older dogs who just want a calm, reliable presence. I treat every dog in my care like part of the family. I am currently a medical student so I am able to care for pets throughout the day on weekdays during months where I have more free time. On walks, I will focus on safety and your dog's comfort. I will make sure to check the leashes before heading out, walk at a pace tailored to their energy and age, and remain alert to the surroundings. For home check-ins, I follow your care instructions exactly (feeding, water, meds, routine) and make sure your pet gets attention and affection while you're away. I will send photo updates and treat your home with care and respect, just as I would my own.

“Thank you so much Erica for taking care of our Luna while we were out of town. Our Luna is a bit anxious but Erica gave her time and patience until she came around. She loved her belly rubs! We appreciate you and definitely recommend!”

About: My husband and I loved our dog for 10 years. We can’t get another one anytime soon but will love yours like our own. We both had dogs as pets growing up and have cared for a pet for 40+ years. I am an elementary school principal. I am available for full-time care or walking June-August. Outside of that, I’m available full-time on the weekends and evenings during the week. We are available to accommodate personal requests, a safe environment and safe neighborhood. We are looking to provide care for your beloved pet and to help you out when needed.

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life in my family. I also worked in a vet clinic for 2 years while I was in high school. I helped the clinic with miscellaneous tasks like cleaning but also provided a lot of hands on care for pets when it was needed! I work night shift as a nurse. I work 3 12 hour shifts per week so I have 4 free days per week that I would be available to help care for your pet. My schedule is not always consistent, so I won’t be able to promise the same days every week. I have 2 cats at my home. I do not have a fenced in yard, so any play time would be best at your home or on walks!

“This chick is phenomenal! She has a great personality and is very engaged with animals. My German shepherd loves her and even gets to play in the water with her. Her communication skills are stellar. I received live updates and photos while at work. If you want someone reliable and dedicated to your fur babies, she is it. I HIGHLY recommend her! <3”

About: I have had a dog of my own for 6 years and over the years have cared for neighbors, family friends, and other family members pets! I am a nurse so I have a natural caring way about myself that extends to pets when I get to care for them! I work typically 3 12 hour shifts a week leaving the rest of my week open to care for your beautiful pets! I am required to work every third weekend of the month, but other than that my weekends are typically open! I am unable to care for pets in my current apartment as my landlord does not allow pets. However when caring for your pets in your home I will give you, your space, and your pets my utmost respect and courtesy. I firmly believe in leaving a space the exact way I found it and leaving your pets happier than how I found them!!

“Carolyn was easy to communicate with and was incredibly accommodating when I made a scheduling error. She took great care of my cat and kept me updated throughout my time away, which gave me great peace of mind. Thank you!!”

About: I have always had a dog in my life and mostly care for my parent’s dogs however live in Wauwatosa in an apartment with no pets. My family currently has 2 dogs- a 9 year old Atlas Mountain dog named Mila adopted from Tunisia; she is obviously emotionally scarred and usually takes a bit to warm up to people- so I understand the dogs who need some space at first but I know to love & care for each and every dog the same. My other dog, Mavis, is a 6 year old high energy border collie! I have experience with visiting and caring for people in the area's pets and also having them stay with me at my apartment to go for plenty of walks and visit many parks near me. I miss living with animals so I happily take in pets to have the company. I will make sure your pet is loved and cared for fully at all times! I am currently working as a therapist doing clinical mental health counseling through a private practice so I am pretty flexible to work around your needs and schedule! Open to price adjustments to what fairly fits your situation best. I am very attentive to their needs and diligent to make sure they are fed, exercised, and cared for - will go above and beyond to care for others above all.

“Jeremy was an amazing cat sitter! Both my cats were immediately comfortable and really grew to like Jeremy’s daily visits and play time. Super responsive and always sending lots of pics for me to check in on- it’s was such a relief to have them in Jeremy’s care. Highly recommend!!!”

About: Hello! 🐶🐱 I have experience caring for all types of animals from a very young age. Over the years, I have cared for roosters, chickens, ducks, rabbits, dogs, kittens, and goats 🐔🦆🐰🐕🐈🐐. I truly enjoy spending time with animals playing with them, taking them on walks, and providing loving care such as bathing and daily attention. I began working professionally as a pet caregiver at the age of 20, offering my services to neighbors, friends, and family 🤍. I strongly believe that animals are incredibly intelligent, sensitive, and full of love. This work has given me many beautiful and meaningful experiences, all thanks to the wonderful pets that have come into my life 🐾✨ I recently arrived in the country and have been living in Milwaukee for a little over a year 🇺🇸🏙️ a beautiful city that I truly enjoy. I am currently looking for a part time job that allows me to balance my time between my studies and my work as a body piercing artist 💎✨. At the same time, I am seeking opportunities to do what I genuinely love and feel passionate about: caring for pets 🐶🐱. I enjoy walking them, providing attentive care, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved 🐾💖. Working with animals brings me great joy, and I am committed to offering responsible, compassionate, and reliable care. I provide loving and attentive care both in my home and in my client’s home 🏡🐶. I live near a park, which allows me to take dogs on fun and safe walks, playtime, and exercise outdoors 🌳🦴. At home, I have a variety of toys and engaging activities to keep pets mentally stimulated and happy 🧸✨. I always follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and treated like family 🐾💖.

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:) )

“Dawn was super sweet and caring for our furbabies. She stopped by ahead of time to meet the gang prior to her drop in visits. She asked great questions and listened to our wishes for her visits. We have a blind dog that needed extra care and she took right to him. He can be challenging but Dawn came to him with great energy and he did not even grumble! She was prompt, courteous and kept us updated on the kids while we were away. I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone needing someone to drop by or dog sit for them! She was simply amazing... 5 STARS!”

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.

“Liz really went above and beyond with my boys! She spent an lot of time making sure they had playtime, that my apartment was a comfortable temp for them, and checked in regularly to see if I needed her to do anything else around my house. I would have her care for any pet I have without reservation.”

“Stephen and Amelie are the best! They take excellent care of our babies and our home when we’re away and make us feel completely comfortable when we need to travel without the pups. Our dogs love them too!”
