Dog Walkers in Amherst, WI

“Barbara started taking care of our pets when we had five cats. The situation was complicated by the fact that our oldest cat had to be kept separate from the other four because he was afraid of them. We'd had a bad experience with a previous sitter, but we clicked with Barbara from the first. She treated our cats as if they were her own, and we never worried about them or our home when we were away. She became a friend and is still a friend to this day.”

About: I’ve had pets all my life, and even have raised a puppy of my own! My family and friends have consistently relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I’m currently a student at UWSP so I’m mostly available on weekends and evenings, but I can usually spare at least 30 minutes several times a day. I am very flexible, especially this semester with online classes. In my own home I always have an eye on the pets around and have a good outdoor (unfenced space) for them. In someone else’s home I respect the boundaries of the owners needs while also taking amazing care of their pets!

“Taylor did a great job taking care of our dog when we were away for a weekend. She stopped by and fed him, walked him and played with him several times each day. She was very responsive and had good communication. Her love for pets is very apparent. I would not hesitate to use Taylor again and have recommended her to friends.”

“I have an older dachshund terrier mix that’s a rescue and she has separation anxiety and other barriers rescue dogs face. Summer has watched and cared for sweet Cleo multiple times and is always so attentive to her needs. She makes sure she understands each aspect of care Cleo needs, which puts my dog mama fears at ease when I know Cleo is in Summers care. Summer even has sent me pictures and updates throughout my time away, which really puts my mind at ease. I know when Cleo is in Summer’s care she in just as good of hands as being in my care. I have been able to go on week long vacations knowing Cleo is in the good care of Summer!”

“Anita is great, she treated Agnes and Penny like her own, asked all kinds of questions regarding their care. Would highly recommend her.”

“A first rate experience! Bringing Jackie on to assist walking my very energetic Golden was the best decision. After a lengthy unexpected illness, my dog was boarded for 3 months while I worked on gaining strength. In comes Jackie! I knew at that point I could not provide the exercise he needed. What a relief, knowing my buddy was in good hands. I'm a highly experienced obiedience trainer & absolutely recomend reaching out to her. Thank you, Jackie.”

“Emma is great with pets! She is patient and calm. She has the energy to keep your pets entertained. She loves to walk our border collie. Short or long walks she responds to the energy of the pet. I trust her to walk, feed, play and clean up after any pet. In addition to dogs, she has experience with birds and hamsters.”

“Very friendly and on time! First time meeting my fur baby and they got along great.”

“I am extremely happy with the care that Amber gave to our cat while we were on vacation. I didn’t want to take her to a kennel because pet’s have an easier time being in their own home. She went above and beyond to make sure she was doing ok and spent time with her so she didn’t feel neglected. Definitely will get her again and recommend her to anyone.”

“Andrew has always been a very responsible dog owner. He has always shown that he truly cares about animals. We have seen it in his own pets, and also in our pets, whenever they have been with him. He seems to have a connection with them and they typically would have a more improved behavior as he would work and play with them. I would not hesitate to leave our dogs or any other pet in his loving care. Randy S.”

“Highly Recommened! This was very last minute.. had to leave my puppy home alone for the first time and was looking for someone to just stop in and check on him/let him out! Mya was there within 30 min! Very thankful!”

“Becky has stayed with our fur babies several times. She is attentive and caring. Becky regularly checks in while we are gone so we don’t worry about our pups. One of our dogs is nervous and Becky takes the time to help him feel relaxed and comfortable. My dogs get so excited when they see Becky coming!”

About: I am new to professional pet care, but I have been around animals my entire life. I love making sure they are not only properly taken care of, but also being given the chance to live their best lives. I am currently a student at UWSP, so my weekdays tend to be fairly busy, but I have plenty of breaks in between for check ins and walks. I am also able to care for pets while multitasking during long nights studying. My personal pets are always a priority to me. I make sure they are fed proper amounts, have a clean space to live and use the bathroom, and most importantly I make prioritize giving them love and affection. While more active animals, I tend to give them plenty of opportunities for exercise, utilizing the large space by my apartment complex. I am always finding creative ways to enrich my animals!

“I have known Emma for years and she is extremely responsible and caring of animals no matter what kind. She's always had pet bunnies and has taken care of my fur babies a few times for me.”

“Karalynn has spent her entire life caring for animals, and has always treated other's pets with the same love and affection that she would give her own. Her knowledge and ability to provide for the animals in her care is unmatched.”

About: I have many years of caring for pets both young and old. I believe animals are the best kind of people. I also have experience in administering medicine I work part time, early mornings so I am free to dedicate as much time as needed with your pets. Spending time with each pet is important. I do not offer in home care at my own home but will be glad to do drop in care in yours when needed. Thank you

About: I have house sat throughout my life for friends and neighbors. I can clip & file dog nails, bathe & groom dogs. I can do basic dog training and fix leash pulling. I have 2 Belgian Shepherds so I understand aggression , other behaviors, and body language. I work the 4am-9am shift for Fed Ex so I am open a large chunk of my days. I am easily reachable by text, very punctual with time as well as communicating with my customers. I will follow written or textual directions to the T. I am very good with animals and can read body language very well. I love to sit with my own pets and will treat yours as I do mine.

About: I have always been a huge animal lover my entire life. Growing up my parents surrounded me with all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, birds, even a potbelly pig named sweet pea) This grew my love even more for all animals and pets. Helping people and animals and giving them the best service that I possibly can. I live my life by the golden rule, do onto others as you would want them to do to you. I have two cats right now and hopefully will be able to get a dog in the near future we just live in too small of a house to have a dog and make sure its happy. I also have profiles on care .com and Wag! And have serviced over 100 different families between the two! I have more reviews and recommendations on there, honestly way more than on this site. My schedule varies and I was we'll just have to talk to you about what you would be needing. I can generally work with any schedule though! I currently cannot board any animals at my own house since we rent still. When it comes to someone else's home I treat it with the utmost respect, as if it was my own home. I follow any and all instructions that you give me in terms of caring for your pet as well. I take animal care very seriously.

“Lindsey is an extremely kind and reliable person, and she works so well with everyone! Kids, pets, peers, you name it. She is an animal lover through and through with a lot of room in her heart especially to help take care of others.”

“In the past Sara has pet sat on several occasions for me. At the time we had 3 dogs, 2 cats, a small aquarium and 2 chinchillas. The dogs were 2 Labradoodles and one Saint Bernard... She followed directions and communicated throughly. Taking each dog separately for walks. She treated my furbabies like her own...”
