Dog Walking Allen

“Emma is so considerate and has a bright, positive attitude. She seems to love Levi, is very thoughtful in her writings of their walks, and she was accommodating when our schedule changed. We're looking forward to her walking Levi long term. She's really an animal lover.”

About: I have personal experience taking care of pets (kittens, cats, and dogs) since I was 4 years old, but my main experience comes from working for a year at the Eau Claire Community Humane Association. I've taken care of all dog ages: puppies and adult, senior, and aggressive dogs. I've also taken care of all cat ages: kittens and adult, senior, and feral/barn cats. I've worked with dogs of all sizes: <5 pounds all the way up to 150 lbs. I've also worked with 20+ lb. cats. My care experience includes general care, walking, nail clipping, giving medication (pills, shots/vaccines, IVs, etc.), and some behavioral work. Overall, I have a lot of experience in pet care and would love to care for your pet :)! I work seasonally (March-October) for the federal government in various states and am currently home until my next job. I am available most days/times, unless I have prior commitments. I do not currently own any pets due to my grandma living with us. I do not have a fenced-in yard, and our neighbor's dog is allowed into our yard at all times; therefore, I will not provide pet care at my home for safety reasons. For house sitting/any kind of care at the client's home, I am fine with any accommodations. I can make anything work and will make my #1 priority the safety of your pet.

About: I’ve had pets (dogs and cats) for my whole life. I often took care of neighbors animals when they would go out of town and always enjoyed it! Can’t wait to walk some dogs and cuddle some cats I am working part time and only work a few hours a week so I will have plenty of time to walk dogs or take care of animals! I am totally willing to do whatever needed for your animals! I am great at following directions and loving animals like they are my own!

About: We have had cats and dogs in our family my entire life. I was born and raised caring for our animals as family members. We have always had multiple cats and dogs, as well as assorted other critters. A few years ago, I lived in Madison working at a Doggy Daycare. There we had lots of training in dog body language and behaviors. I spent each day looking after a pack of at least 20 dogs. That job helped me gain lots of experience working with all kinds of different dogs, behaviors and personalities! The doggy daycare also implemented behavioral training. Each day we would work with the dogs and puppies to make sure we were working on positive behaviors with positive reinforcements! I am currently available to help be there for your furbabies and their needs! I would love to be the one to help them feel comfortable while you're away! I live in a spacious, pet friendly duplex. The current tenants include: my husband and myself, our two cats, Mister and Nilla, and my leopard gecko, Echo! I have access to plenty of areas to run and play, as well as a place to get plenty of cuddles! The care I give your pets will match what they need. I know that your fur babies are special and important to you and I intend to treat them as if they were my own. My place or yours, your furry friend will feel at home!

About: I volunteered at an animal shelter for two and a half years. My family has had many pets and I was always their primary caretaker. Currently, I have had my dog for 8 years and my husband and I recently adopted our cat Buster together. I have also had experience with smaller animals like guinea pigs and rabbits. I am able to walk, bathe, brush, clip claws, feed, exercise, and play with cats and dogs of all ages. I am a teacher so I am available mostly during evenings for drop in visits and walks. During common break times such as Spring Break or summer I would be available for overnight house sitting. Weekends are usually fully open! I am experienced in keeping animals safe and healthy. This includes playing and exercising with them, making sure they get food and water, and cleaning after them.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats for most of my life and grew up in a home where animals were always part of the family. Throughout my childhood, we always had both a dog and a cat, which gave me the opportunity to understand and support pets through all stages of their lives. Being raised around animals has brought me so much joy, and I truly love spending time with them, whether that’s playing, going for walks, or simply giving them attention and affection. In addition, I have three years of experience walking dogs, which has helped me develop patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of different temperaments and needs. If you choose me to care for your pet, I promise to treat them with the same love and attention I would give my own, and to care for them to the very best of my abilities. I'm currently a student and work a part-time job; however, I usually have 2-hour gaps in my day. This is to accommodate time to take your pet out to potty, go for walks, or just have some playtime. Then after 3 pm I am free during the evenings. I’m unable to host pets in my own home; however, I will treat your home with the utmost respect and ensure your pet receives the same love, care, and attention I would give my own.

About: They say to do what you love and make a career out of it. I’m just grateful my career gets to be with dogs. I currently work at a doggy daycare/boarding facility in the area, so I am certified with dog and cat behaviors and have seen the ups and downs of our fur babies, and I am still standing here happy to tell you all about their stay/session. I have also grown up with working farm dogs and have gone on to own a Great Pyrenees who isn’t quite a working dog but sure does “work” like one. Thank you for reading through my short history and I am super excited to update this with my accomplishments to come! Pet care for me starts at dawn lol My pups come for cuddles and a potty break first sight of my eyes opening. Most of the time this does align with my schedule in the 6 am timeframe. Our family does always thankfully have one person home at all times, so while kennels are still utilized in our home for various situations, your pups can expect to stay in a home environment while here :) While I personally do not have a yard, my family does own large pasture fields and hills that we will typically walk daily. These colder seasons do affect how often we go out due to the snow and unplowed hills. However in that safe weather we make it a main priority to keep active with our pups to maintain a healthy and long life for them. Safety is priority number one. Thankfully my family is pretty much set up for success here. We are knowledgeable for food, behavior, and play safety with dogs and cats. Signs and symptoms of common issues with dogs and cats, based off personal experiences, and possible fears of what ifs, urinary cat blockages and bloat, or bloody stools. And while I understand dog body language and know how to avoid those tense situations dogs can create, I am incredibly quick to say when we are going to the emergency vet, gosh forbid.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, I’ve worked with seniors and puppies and everything in between! I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare and have done lots of grooming for both cats and dogs! I am available night and day! I am easy to reach and am ready to come at any time! I am a stay at home cat mom! I have 2 cats of my own, I give them the best nutrition and brain stimulation! I am constantly researching the best for both cats and dogs!
