Dog Walking Altoona

About: I want to help parents feel at ease if they have to be away from their fur babies. Let me make your away from home less stressful. I am available everyday for drop in visits, playtime or daily walks. I am available all weekend for extended visits and have reliable vehicle for travel or car rides I have a spare bedroom available as a doggie room or cat room if your pet would like more privacy and a fenced in back yard for safety but extra play space to exercise your pet.

About: Hello, my name is Taryn. I’ve had plenty of experience taking care of dogs as I have had dogs my whole life. Since middle school, I have been pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Not only have I had pet sitting experience with dogs, I have taken care of other animals as well. Those animals range from cats, bunnies, fish, and even chickens ! I will be able to provide you and your pets with the services you need! I just graduated from UW-Stout and am currently living in Eau Claire. I work at my main job on weekdays (in Menomonie). My hours vary, but they are usually only 7 hour shifts or less. I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays unless I already have another gig booked. I am able to provide your pet with whatever service they need, ranging from making sure they have enough food and water to taking them on walks and providing them with entertainment! I am available for dog walking and drop-ins before 5pm on Mondays, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and after 5pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. As for house-sitting, I am available most days as long as your pet is okay with being alone for a few hours! I attend in-person classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, but would have an hour or two to come back to the house to check in! I currently do not offer doggy day care in my own home, but I will be able to keep your dogs company at their respective homes. I can walk them, feed them, play with them, keep them company, and more!

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I regularly do weekend babysitting for a German shepherd and Australian shepherd. I also do drop-in visits for my friends cats when they are gone on vacations. I work full-time from home with the ability to bring my work laptop with me. I have meetings throughout the week but my schedule is pretty flexible. Most weekends I have availability to do walks or visits, though I am sometimes out of town to pet sit. During the week, I can do 1 morning walk before 8AM every day. Some days I have availability at noon for 1 walk as well. Those days will have an extra booking available! For drop-in visits, your pet will be in their own home where they are used to the environment, and I require an introductory visit before taking on new clients. This way we can guarantee a good match for your pet and I. For dog walking, I will provide the safest experience possible for your pet. I can even take them to dog parks if that is allowed. I also require an introductory meeting before taking new clients.

“Aaralyn does a fantastic job walking my two dogs! They pull me on the leash but she handles them like a pro. She also leaves me feedback after every walk.”

About: I bring a calm, friendly presence that helps pets feel safe and relaxed while their people are away. I’ve grown up with animals and currently care for a few clients’ pets in Eau Claire — including a 3-week stay with multiple pets. I know how important routines are, and I pride myself on clear communication, clean homes, and happy tails. Whether it’s a quick walk or a full house sit, I’ll follow your instructions to the letter and treat your pets like my own. I’m flexible, detail-oriented, and truly love getting to know each animal’s personality. My goal is always to create a stress-free experience — for both you and your furry family. Pet care can fit seamlessly into my routine. I currently bartend and this allows for more flexibility and available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, or house sitting throughout the week — your pet’s needs come first in my day! I have no pets at my home so my casa is your pets casa with no interference. At my 8 plex building there is a much area to run around if they can be off leash otherwise the area is great to walk for potty breaks at anytime. I live in a safe, quiet and less trafficked area which will be great for walks!

About: I enjoy taking care of other people’s pets. I have become the go-to dog/ cat sitter for family and friends. Have given pets medications orally and by injections. Have grown up with pets and have had them in my life since. Hoping to get a pet fix by helping others. Hello, I work remotely full time so could care for pets before, during and after work. I live in an apartment complex which is pet friendly. I do not have any pets of my own and live in an apartment on the second floor. I have access to an elevator or stairs to take pets up/down for potty breaks. Also have a dog park nearby.

“We are new to Rover and we were very nervous about leaving our baby with someone new. Emma was so sweet, she came over to do a meet and greet. She put our minds at ease with her friendly and calm personality. She did an excellent job communicating with us and we loved the updates and pictures while we were away. We will definitely be using her again.”

About: I have taken care of my own pets and friends pets for many years. I enjoy dog walking, playing with toys, and cuddling up with pets! I am a student who is looking for extra work over the summer! My hours vary by day, so I’m looking for morning and evening dog walking/sitting! I love my animals and always try to provide the best care for them. I love walking my dog and making sure he gets his playtime. I enjoy cuddling with my cats:)

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working at a dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. That experience taught me how to recognize body language, safely manage group play, handle high-energy dogs, and provide calm, patient care for shy or anxious pets. I'm active, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or someone to stick to their daily routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet like they're my own, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, capable hands. I am a college student and my seasonal job recently ended so I have a full time schedule to commit to pet care. It will be my top priority. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special care instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, while always respecting your home's rules and your pet's normal schedule. With my experience working at a dog daycare, I'm comfortable recognizing different behaviors, handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and responding calmly in new situations. I always keep pets securely leashed during walks (unless in a safely enclosed area), monitor them closely, and make sure they have fresh water and a clean, safe environment.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I'm currently working a full time job, however I still have plenty of time to watch your fur babies!! If anything changes I will let you all know ASAP!! I have two very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if needed, or I can separate my dogs from your dogs if needed. I also have toys for them to play with so they won't get bored.

“Thanks, Carissa! Ruby enjoyed getting out and playing the last two days.”

About: I currently have 2 dogs and 2 long haired cats. Being a registered nurse I have a lot of experience giving medications to humans, but also animals. I have some grooming experience given my cats need for it. I have extensive reactivity training in dogs as one of ours has struggled since she was a puppy. I would love to make your fur-baby feel loved and cared for while you have the peace of mind while on vacation or work. I am currently a registered nurse, so my schedule is very open and I can shift things around as needed to help out! I do not work a straight routine, so have many open spaces. I would gladly watch your animals in your home so they continue to have the comfort of their natural area and no added stress of being somewhere they do not know. I will gladly follow whatever rules or schedule you set up!

About: i have had animals of all types my whole life, looked and researched the best care possible, while simply enjoy the company of them. allow me to have the pleasure of taking care of your pets, and allow me to simply make some new friends. i own 3 cats, 2 dogs, 1 rabbit, a handful of turtles, and a handful of chickens and ducks. i sure hope that tells you how much pet care is a daily routine. it’s not just a routine though. they truly are my purpose in life. my reason to wake up everyday. not like they’d let me sleep in anyway. they’d pull me out of my grave for breakfast and head scratches if they needed to. i have lots of experience with insecure and confident animals as i own both. i’m gentle and firm when need be. if your pets would like company, i have pets that enjoy the same thing. if not, no problem. they just get more attention from me.

“Amanda was amazing! She did great with my big dogs (one being aggressive towards other dogs) and was very communicative. Will definitely be contacting her to help take care of our dogs again!”
