Pet Sitting Wauwatosa

“Kathy did an excellent job taking care of my new cat. I am a new to cat ownership and she has been so kind and offered so many helpful tips to help me get started! She goes above and beyond.”

“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've had multiple dogs over the last 30 years. Mainly Bull Mastiffs, Border Collie Mix, and multiple Pitties. We lately have been adopting older dogs to give them the best end of life possible. For friends I've watched many smaller to larger dogs, comfortable with all. I have experience with all sorts of meds and care, although I prefer to stay away from anything with needles when possible. We've been to the vet more times than I can count, and have gotten good at understanding/reading dog behavior and signs of distress. I have experience with all soft of personalities...shy or alpha, lazy or rambunctious, etc. I like to understand them and work with them where they are at so they enjoy themselves and are happy. I'm a pretty calm presence and in general dogs trust me right away. My wife will joke that I am a dog whisperer as dogs tend to follow my lead easily, but I think it is simply being confident and projecting that you are there to take care of them. I have a very flexible work schedule and am home most of the time. I only have 1 dog right now (Oscar, 82 lb Pitty who loves everything and everyone...he walks around with soft toys like they are his dolls), but will likely be back to 2 in the near future. I walk my pup(s) pretty much every day. We live near Hart Park and the Oak Leaf Trail so getting out to walk along the river/parks is very easy. New to doing this formally rather than just for friends. Normally watch friends dogs at their place. If we take care of your pup in our home, we will always have 1+ pups that will be other-dog friendly. My wife and I have a small Tosa home but fully fenced-in yard to be able to let them out at any time day or night without worry. We have a small main floor but it has 3-4 dog beds and multiple toys (prefer dogs who are ok with soft toys, as our pup(s) don't rip those up. Will likely prefer caring for your pup in your home, it simply mitigates the crowding in the house and any potential conflicts. If I look after any cats, those would be at your house. We no longer have cats and aren't prepped for that in any way.

About: Having an energetic 7-year-old Australian Shepherd like my dog Roman means staying active is just a daily way of life for me. I know firsthand what it takes to give high-energy dogs the exercise, attention, and mental engagement they need to thrive. I also have deep experience with cats, including senior and specialized care, I recently lost my beloved 17-year-old diabetic cat, so I’m very comfortable with gentle handling and strict routines. Plus, I have a big soft spot for birds! As a pet parent, I completely understand the peace of mind that comes with finding someone reliable, trusting, and flexible to look after your animals. Whether your dog needs a fast-paced walk to burn off steam, your cat needs special care/cuddles, or your bird needs an attentive check-in, I care for every pet as thoughtfully as I do my own. I’m based in the Wauwatosa and Milwaukee area and am available most afternoons after 1:30 PM, evenings, and weekends. I’d love to connect, hear about your pet’s routine, and see how I can help make your schedule easier! As a fitness coach, my schedule gives me great daily flexibility. I'm available most weekdays after 1:30 PM, as well as on weekends. Living in the Midwest, weather never stops me. I get outside and active no matter what! I can take your dog on a solo walk, bring my dog Roman along if yours wants a buddy, or simply drop in for quiet time and plenty of pets. Pet care naturally fits right into my daily routine. When caring for pets in your home, my primary focus is maintaining their familiar routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own space. I respect your home, stay in close communication with regular updates and photos, and ensure your pet receives plenty of quality attention, affection, and playtime while you’re away.

“Valerie did such a great job taking care of our sweet girl! She was so attentive & loving. Would highly recommend to anyone needing someone to watch their beloved pets!”

About: I have three years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic pups to laid-back senior cats. Whether it’s a lively game of fetch or a quiet cuddle session, I provide the care and attention your pet deserves. I’m committed to keeping them happy, healthy, and loved! My focus is on creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every pet I care for. I’ve worked with a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments, so I’m adaptable to your pet’s unique needs. From long walks to belly rubs (or just hanging out with cats who prefer their own space), I bring patience, reliability, and plenty of love to the table! Pet care is a big part of my day! 🐾 Since I’m home full-time, I have plenty of flexibility to care for your furry friends. From morning walks 🌅 to midday play sessions 🐕 and evening snuggles 🛋️, I’m here to keep them happy, active, and loved every step of the way! I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort in both my home and yours! 🏡 While I don’t have a fenced backyard, I make up for it with a large park nearby and a fenced dog area for plenty of safe playtime 🐾. At home, your pet will enjoy a cozy, loving environment with lots of space to relax or run around. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or a fun time in the dog park, your pet will be active, entertained, and safe every step of the way!

“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”

“Had a great experience with Christina. It was our first time using Rover and we were very happy. She took the worry out of being away. Thank you!”

Jill J.

“Erica was very thorough and did a wonderful job taking care of Cooper at lunchtime. You can definitely tell she cares about dogs. We would recommend her and use her again to care for our pup.”

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.

“Thanks”

“Brooke watched my cat Douglas while we were out of town and she did an excellent job!! She provided detailed reports of he was doing and took lots of pictures. She cuddled and played with him every visit and followed the feeding instructions we gave her perfectly. It was such a relief knowing Douglas was in great hands 😊 definitely will be utilizing her services again!!”

About: I've always had cats and dogs growing up, watched neighbors' pets when they were away, have an eye for detail, and pride myself on providing you with an experience in which you can rest assured that your home and your pets are in good hands. I own three cats with four litter boxes, two food bowls, a water dish, and a drippy sink. Keeping them happy is a daily labor of love for me. I do not own a dog and therefore, do not have an enclosed yard with a fence, but have taken neighborhood dogs on walks, as well as walking my parents' dog on a semi-regular basis.

About: Hi! have two dogs at home that I call my brothers and love them to death. My dad won't let them live with me right now so I always go home to visit and play with them. I have worked at a doggy daycare for over a year, so I do have professional experience with every type of dog. I promise I will show your dog all the love it deserves. I am currently going to school at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and studying Biology and Zoology. After I finish school I want to transfer to University of Wisconsin-Madsion and receive my Prevet Degree. I want to help animals and care for them in my future in any way I can. I will watch over your dog like their my dog and treat them in the best possible way.

“In my forty years of having dogs, Vanessa is the best dogsitter I have ever had. But to call Vanessa a dogsitter is not enough. She truly cared for my dogs, and by extension me: I did not have a single moment of worry or concern in my 6 days out of town, not with Vanessa caring for my dogs. I was lucky to find Vanessa. You would be lucky, too.”
