“Kathy had a very fast turnaround with a previous day booking. She was very understanding and got along with our pups very well. They seem like they had a wonderful walk. Definitely will request her again!”


2. Yolitza M.

“Always willing to help out with my Zeus! My plans and work schedule have changed a few times and Yolitza is always very helpful and flexible!”




3. Rachel W.

“Rachel is the absolute best and I have really enjoyed working with her! She gives wonderful feedback about how goofy my dog is and it makes my heart so happy!”


4. Emily S.
About: I volunteered at the Wisconsin Humane Society for 3 years, dog walking and later did dog enrichment! I’ve always had pets and am always patient with nervous pets, they have boundaries too! I am currently on the job hunt so as of right now I have all the time in the world to care for animals! I’d still like a heads up but I can be quite flexible. I cannot have pets at my home due to a very jealous dog and a cat but I’d be glad to take care of your dog or cat in your home!


5. Ian P.

“Ian has been very reliable and flexible with walking my dog. Although there is nothing physically wrong with my dog, she often stops refusing to walk. She prefers to run free at the dog park which cannot happen in this weather. Ian has had the right amount of patience and encouragement so she now walks like a champ!”


6. Monsserath C.

“Monsserath does great with my shy and anxious dog. She is very patient and understanding and has so much love to give my pup. She is super reliable and I can tell looks forward to seeing my pup every week! I am so lucky to have connected with her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”


7. Andrew S.
“I couldn’t say enough good things about Andrew! He’s great with my dog Ellie. He gets down on the ground to play with her and sometimes I feel like she’s happier to see him than me! It can be hard to find someone to trust with taking care of my dog but Andrew is the best. He really cares about animals and is very accountable and respectful.”


8. Isabella N.

“She was wonderful!”


9. Maggie K.
“Maggie has taken care of our kitty George many times when we have gone out of town. She is dependable and what’s more, she really loves animals and is good at caring for them. She takes time to play with George and scratch behind his ears. It’s nice that she sends us a photo when we are away to let us know everything is fine!”




10. Julie N.

“We’ve been using Julie for Cat services, but recently started using Julie for dog walking, she is amazing! Any animal care, call Julie.”


11. Chrystal A.

“Chrystal was very enthusiastic, right on time and so wonderful with our dog. Our dog is normally very hesitant and not very trusting of a new person. She immediately ran to Chrystal on her first meeting, like she was an old friend! That was very comforting to us as pet owners. She is happy to go with Chrystal and is always happy to see her. I would absolutely recommend Chrystal to help with your pet. She is wonderful.”


12. Michelle Y.

“Michelle was a lifesaver for a last minute booking. Great correspondence, timely arrival and excellent skills with my dog. Will definitely book again. Thank you!”


13. McKenna D.
“McKenna has been amazing with my chocolate lab. She does so much more than just the basics—she spends quality time playing with my dog and making sure she feels loved and cared for. McKenna’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals give me complete peace of mind when I’m away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter!”


14. Lisa L.
About: I grew up with puppies and all kinds of animals. My father is a man who just loves all animals. We recently got a Golden Doodle puppy after I bought my home this summer. I have 2 golden doodles and just love them to pieces I have been pet sitting for family and friends when they needed the last couple years. I would care for your fur baby and love them as much as we have love our own. My back yard is fenced in and i do have a large back yard. All outside activities are supervised. I work from home so can accommodate most routines that are needed with some grace. There are times I may need to leave and run errands or appointments but the pups will never be home alone too long. I can do doggy day care for the most part until 5pm (later would be on occasion with prior approval). I have 2 friendly dogs and a fenced in yard so to keep your puppy safe. I can also crate if needed. I have a teenage daughter that also helps and plays too!


15. Melainie T.

“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!”


16. Logan E.
“When we got our first dog, Oaty, Logan was our first and only dog sitter. While we were away, she would send pictures of our dog smiling at the camera (which we didn’t know how to do). She knows and loves dogs, and is so responsible with them too. When we were home and she came to drop off the keys, Oaty would be wagging his tail, so happy to see her. We highly recommend Logan to befriend your dogs too.”


17. Madeline Z.
“Maddie is great with dogs! My dog always has a great time when Maddie takes him for a run / walk. She is a very active person so he also gets a great workout in and comes back happy! I would definitely recommend Maddie for dog walking needs”


18. Kyler C.
“Kyler is responsible, helpful, and caring. He is a dog owner himself and his love for animals is clear. He enthusiastically helps his neighbors care for and walk their dogs. He can be trusted to care for your pet and treat your animals as if they were his own.”


19. Sophia N.
“When I had to leave town for work, Sophia was a lifesaver taking care of my cat and dog! She was very communicative, sent constant updates on how my pets were doing, and was very responsive to whatever I asked! I highly recommend using Sophia if you need somebody to watch your cat or dog, she is simply great.”
