About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. There was already a cat in my home before I was born, so I’ve had animals since day 1! My family got our dog when I was 10, and I’ve helped care for her ever since, including feeding, walking, playing with her, and general daily care. I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends and neighbors. In addition, I have cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with the care, attention, and patience they need. I truly enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I can often accept same-day requests depending on availability, so please feel free to reach out! I provide attentive, loving care and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, and general pet care. I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly enjoy spending time with both cats and dogs.
“Michelle was prompt in responding, friendly and outgoing with our pups, and asked great questions about them! We re-booked her promptly and highly suggest her services if you're in the greater SE-WI area.”

“Alex is reliable, dependable, and flexible dog walker. She’s been able to get our dog to go to the bathroom on walks (our dog always refused before) and to start loose leash walking. Lily loves Alex and waits at the front door for Alex to pick her up on walk days. I highly recommend Alex!”

About: I have helped take care of my own pets for as long as we’ve had them. I have one cat and one dog. I take my dog on walks, feed her, play, and clean up outside after bathroom use. I clean my cats litter box, give him his pills and asthma treatments, play, and give alone time when wanted. I also have experience caring for small pets such as a guinea pig, a bunny, chicks, and chickens! I am currently looking for an entry part time position at vet clinics near me so until then I have a clear schedule! I will be starting a vet program in August so my availability will change at that time. Usually I am given written instructions about what kind of tasks are required and what the animals likes and dislikes are. I can follow feeding schedules, walk schedules, and potty breaks. There is no such thing as too much information about your pet, the more I know the better care I can take of them!

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
