About Shelley

I am a thirty-nine year old mother of one eight-year-old daughter. We have two cats at home named Taco Tom and Abby. Taco Tom is a male cat and Abby is a female cat. Taco Tom is neutered and Abby is spayed and they are both up to date on all of their shots.

I offer daycare for cats and dogs at your home and overnight pet sitting at your home. If you don't mind my daughter coming with me she could play with your cat or dog. If your cat or dog isn't good with children then I cannot offer you my services. No Pitbulls, Dobermans or Huskies

About Jamee

5 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hey there :)
My name is Jamee and I'm 25 years young and as an active, fun, animal loving person I thought I'd give animal service a try.

Let's get to know me a bit shall we? I am new to the city of Milwaukee, a recent graduated of UW-Whitewater where I studied PR and currently working as a Marketing Strategist for an outdoor retailer. I have late starts and my evenings and weekends are very flexible.

I grew up surrounded by animals. Cats and dogs were a must in my household and I am familiar with many dog breeds. I've lived with and dog sat a variety of breeds which includes Saint Bernards, Border Collies, Boxers, Golden Retrievers, many little guys, mixes of all kinds, and of course Labs.

My most memorable dog sitting experience included three Border Collies, two Saint Bernard girls, and a cat where each animal had its own large personality. What a weekend that was.

I am particularly drawn to large dog breeds but I am attracted to anything with paws. I enjoy taking walks and jogs that include stair reps if the pup can keep up we'll be doing it. Most evenings this Fall you will find me on a coffee patio enjoying a coffee while editing photos with a pup at my side. To sum it up I love pets and since I can't house one of my own I'd love to take care of yours.

ps. I was a domestic pet owner most of my youth which included hamsters, birds, and over a dozen bunnies so I welcome all walks of life :)

About Taylor

2 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
My name is Taylor, I am new to the Milwaukee area. I am constantly exploring the lower East side area with my 2 year old lab. We love company so if your fur children are social bring em our way and we will provide the doggy adventures, and treats(:

I have a pretty open schedule as I work from home. We sometimes will drive a half hour away to get out of town for a little hike or go to the lake for a swim. Other days we stay low key and explore the city together, or enjoy the surrounding neighborhood area. We have a nearby park that we like to go play fetch at right across the bridge as well as ton of places to walk and explore downtown. My dog is very playful & loves other fur friends but also knows when to chill out and enjoys his me time.

About Madeline

6 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I am a student at the Milwaukee School of Engineering in downtown Milwaukee. I lead a very active lifestyle so getting your pet the proper amount of exercise won't be a problem. I love all animals and have been around them my entire life. In the past I have been a dog walker at the Waukesha humane society (HAWS) and have also been a pet sitter through Care.com. I also regularly pet sit for someone with a dog and two cats, so I am comfortable watching multiple animals at once.

Overall I love pets and would love to get to take care of yours!

Madeline was excellent! We booked her at the last minute for a trip we were taking. She stayed at our house with our dog, Penny, and kept us updated on how things went throughout our trip. Very professional, very nice woman. We will certainly be seeking out Madeline again in the future for our dog sitting needs!!

About Karina

10 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Of course you will be number one in your pups life, but I will provide just as much care as you do. Walks, fetching, cuddles, belly rubs and lots of love. With two back home, a German Shepherd and a Papillon, I love all shapes and sizes and understand the different needs each breed requires. I live around the corner from Forsyth Park, in a spacious townhouse, large rooms and a small yard space. I always wake up early, go for a walk and then its breakfast time. After this I will usually work on my computer at home and then after do some active work at the park. There will then be lunch time and hangouts on the couch. Before dinner we can squeeze a walk in and then get ready for cuddles and bed! I am a college student at the Savannah College of Art and Design, I have class Tuesdays & Thursdays for 2 hours each day other than that I am completely free.

About Amber

10 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Sorry for any inconvenience to our clients but we will not be available for the first few weeks of May due to my vet tech externship and my graduation. Me and my mom are working very hard on our business as business is picking up as well.

We will be taking reservations again come May 16th.

Thank you :)


**please scroll to the bottom to read our boarding requirements. Thank you so much!!**


Hello!
Starting this exciting business with DogVacay in September 2015 we absolutely love what we do!! Having many clients trust us at our home, or me at their home, with their furbabies is humbling and appreciated.

With that said, let me briefly introduce who we are!

My name is Amber and I am a full time veterinary student in Milwaukee. I am also a certified Veterinary Assistant. I have experience with older pups, medicating pups, and young puppies.
I've volunteered at the humane society working as a veterinary services volunteer medicating cats and dogs and giving dogs walks. I was also an animal care volunteer, cleaning kennels and taking dogs for walks. I volunteered there for over 6 years.
I also volunteered at veterinary clinics, emergency animal clinics and I worked at a veterinary clinic. :)

My mom helps me out and is always at home to supervise the fur kids. My mom grew up with dogs of many breeds and even cats too, she has experience giving medication by injection and oral meds as well. She is amazing with making sure all the pups are happy and spends a lot of time giving them the exercise pups need.


We also have 3 dogs of our own; Rocky, Molly and Tao (Tay-O), all are well behaved and get along great with all people and pets. They are also very well trained and full of energy! They have made so many friends this past year!

IN OUR HOME WE PROVIDE:

- We have a large loving clean smoke free environment for you furkids.

-Our furkids have four large baskets filled with a variety of fun toys, and lots of doggie blankets to snuggle with. And of course you are welcome to bring along a favorite toy or blanket of their own.

-NO kennels, NO cages, and your dog is never ever left alone. One or both of us is home. Always.

-ALL pups need to be up to date on core vaccines (rabies, distemper) and must have flea protection on

-We provide a full house and a HUGE back yard that is fenced and provides plenty of exercise space.

- We give healthy homemade treats between meals and lots of playtime and outdoor exercise in our large grassy yard. We look forward to caring for your furbabies soon.


**Boarding Requirements**

Pick up/ drop off policy (boarding in our home only)---- We allow a 3 hour grace period from drop off time to pick up time, after 3 hours we charge for daycare for the pick up date. Example: Drop off time is 3pm, pick up must be before 6pm on pick up date to avoid daycare charge. This is to be fair to our regular daycare clients.

Please bring the following:

-vaccination records showing rabies/distemper and bordetella.
-bowls/food
-favorite toys (optional)
-bed (optional)
-crate (optional but if owners crate train or insist, we allow crates)


please let us know if your pup is on supplements/medications, also please let us know if they are house trained or not.

Thank you so much!!!

Amber did a really great job for our night on the town. We have two dogs that require extra attention due to anxiety. We got multiple photo/video updates and when we came home they were relaxed.
We were so happy to find Amber to watch our dog over the weekend. Zeke is recovering from surgery so had some special needs and he was so well taken care of! We loved getting the updates. We will definately have Amber come again and hopefully when Zeke is all better he can go hang out at their place!

Amber did a great job watching Bailey for the weekend. She stayed at our apartment to keep Bailey company. She was very responsive via text messaging and she sent picture/video updates daily. We will definitely use Amber/Barb again!
Our dog Bozley is very picky about whom he loves and he adores Amber. She has done a wonderful job of taking care of our poodle and the pictures she sends us while we're away lets us know he is happy.
Having Amber come to our home is much easier on our pets.....their daily routines are kept in place with no stress.
We plan to have her come again very soon.

Amber and Bard are great. I have had my little guy stay with them on multiple occasions (including overnight) and it has always been a good experience - it is obviously how much they care for dogs. They even let my puppy keep a toy he got attached to. . Recommend.

Amber is a wonderful pet sitter! Our poodle is very shy and it takes him awhile for him to let anyone pet him etc. When we returned home after a long weekend, they were best friends! We plan to have her stay again soon.

About Zoriana

**About me**
I am currently a Marquette Nursing student. I have always had a passion and special place for animals. I am also an active person who part takes in rock climbing, running, biking and lounging outside in the warm summer sun.

**About my home/services**
I am available for feedings, cuddling, dog walking, check-ins and occasion sitting. Your dog will always be in supervision of myself but never short of lots of love!

**About my neighborhood**
I live in the Milwaukee Area. I have lots of access to trails and the lake. Lots of green space around for your dog to sniff and stretch their legs!

**What to expect**
While the dog is staying with me, we will have loads of fun by playing fetch, taking nice long walks or even going for a run. We also will cuddle and nice long belly rubs.

**Special rules or requests**
I am not capable to pick up or drop off. I am not able to take very large breeds due to the size of the apartment that I currently live in, however I love getting outside and will not hesitate you take your furry friend with me!

About Nikki

4 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I have been dog walking and sitting in the Milwaukee area for 4 years now. I have great references and I have many services I provide, from dog walking, to boarding services at my own home or yours! Very reasonable rates, very flexible to your needs, and always considerate of your pet and what is best for them! I would love to help you with any pet needs you have. :) I will travel around the Milwaukee area (East Side, Shorewood, Whitefish Bay, Downtown) only!

All dogs I watch must be at least partially tolerant of cats. My fiance and I just moved to a house that we bought, so it is possible for me to keep any dogs separate from the cats because we have a lot of space. Will not accept dogs who are aggressive to cats or other dogs. We may be boarding more than one families dog at a time. My shifts at work are only about 4-5 hours at a time, so the dog will not be alone for longer than that at any time . We prefer mild-mannered dogs who will accept the care of strangers quickly. It will not take us long to warm up to them. Any size dog works for us, as long as they have a good temperament. Any puppies must be potty trained and we charge more for because we have learned from experience they are a LOT more work. We also charge by the day, not the night. For example, a Saturday morning through Sunday even counts as two days, not one (this is the way DogVacay is set up, which we do not agree with because it is two days worth of work.)

I am very active and when your dog stays with me they will get lots of walks, jogs and exercise! I will have them out on at least 3 shorter walks and one or more longer walk per day (more on weekends).

Even though DogVacay says we have a dog of our own, we do not. That is a dog that stayed with us once and I put him in, and now I cannot figure out how to delete him off my profile.
