Dog Walking in Appleton

About: I've spent my entire life having animals and loved them for my entire life. I've had cats my entire life, and often this is not lent itself well to me also owning a dog. We currently own three cats one 12 year old lady, and two 2 year old brothers. When I was young I would walk the neighbor's dog just so I could get some dog time in. In college and after college I had several roommates who had dogs I lived with, who I would also help care for either just for fun or while they were gone. I have also taken care of friends dogs while they are out of town on vacation. I have experience with cats from 6 weeks old all the way up to end of life. I have experience in giving cats medication, special diets, special instructions and any other quirks your cat may have. I'm experienced in walking dogs, playing with dogs, feeding dogs (including special diets) and while I love larger dogs, I currently am unable to care for them due to a medical condition and it only able to care for a small dogs. I'm currently taking a break from my career and have very flexible availability, both during the week and on the weekends. I do request 24 hours notice. I will take care of your pets with the instructions you leave me with. I will rely on you as the pet parent to make all major decisions and follow your rules as best as possible. I am great with communication and will regularly communicate with you to show you how your pets are doing while you're out of town and ask any questions that arise while you're gone.

About: I have lived with cats my entire life so I feel pretty confident when it comes to them, while dogs I love to no end so I will be sure to learn as much as I can so both the dogs and I are comfortable with each other as well as you! I’ll be in classes nearby at FVTC so if ever needed, I can always stop by the animals and make sure they feel very loved! I constantly take care of my roommate’s cat at the dorm I live in so I don’t mind at all! I might not have much experience with dogs yet, but I have learned the signs of a nervous dog & cat. For me I find it easy to bring treats and to beg very open and calm with the animal and let them come to me and get used to me on their timeline if possible.

“Samantha was great with Zero! Gave him plenty of excercise and sent over great pics!!! She was mindful that it is hot out and gave him some fresh water so he could cool down. Would definitely have Samantha come back and walk Zero again! Thank you!”

About: My husband, Mike, and I are a team. As dedicated pet parents ourselves, we understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your "babies" are in excellent hands while you're away. Mike brings valuable professional experience from working in a Wisconsin pet store, giving him a deep understanding of animal needs and behaviors. Teri's professional background includes performing vacation home checks for the Neenah and Menasha Police Departments, ensuring your home's security is in expert hands. *We are fully insured.

We will follow your detailed instructions for pet care to ensure that your pets maintain a sense of normalcy. And of course, we will send you fun updates via text or email (if you want us to). Your peace of mind is important to us. *We are fully insured.

“Sadie is very happy with her walks with Janet. She let's her sniff the tall grass for smells. Fun!! We are very appreciative of Janet. Sadie gets her walks when we aren't able to and is very happy and tired.”

“Josh is so good with my boy Jaxon. You can tell he really loves what he does and goes above and beyond no matter the weather to get him out on his walks and always gives me a detailed Rover card and pics. I work long days so it's nice knowing my boy is being taken care of.”

“Monica did an excellent job walking all three of them, and they loved her. One can be a little standoffish, but she ran right up to her and happily went on the walk. Definitely booking again.”

“Kristina is always so wonderful to my dog Cooper - she is very responsive and communicative and I can tell that she genuinely cares for the dogs she watches. She is highly recommended!”

About: I have always had a dog in the house since I can remember and now have 2 loveable dogs that we walk often. Sadie is 11 years-old and Cooper is 4 years-old and they are the best of friends! My son asked for this to be his first job because he loves dogs so much. He has been walking ours for 1 year now and was always helping us with them since he was little. My 7 year-old daughter loves dogs and would be coming to unless you ask for no kids :) They both have been scooping up poop and walking our dogs for awhile now. We are all very responsible, empathetic, trustworthy, respectable caring people. we would love to help take care of your dog(s) while you are away :) I am a stay-at-home mom and homeschool my 2 kids, so we have a lot of flexibility in our schedule to help meet your dog needs. My son and I will only be offering dog walking and any other dog care needs you may need in your home. We do not do overnight sitting, but we would love to visit your dogs and love on them and give them lots of attention while we are there.

About: Although I currently don't have a dog, I have had the pleasure of sharing in the lives of several dogs over the years. I think both dogs and cats have such a special way of contributing to our lives and I would love the opportunity to share in your dogs lives when you are unable to be there whether it be to get them some exercise or just give them some time and attention. I am active and would have no trouble taking your dog for walks or to the park if you wanted. I also don't mind the cold weather so you don't need to worry about winter coming up. I hope to hear from you soon and for you to be a satisfied customer! My husband and I work together doing home improvement and 'handyman' type odd jobs, which makes my schedule very flexible. I can adjust my errands and work appointments around the needs of your pet. I am very careful when letting dogs outside that they are on a leash or there is a fenced yard if I am at your home. I would never want for a pet to get out that I could not get them back.

“Such a great couple! Jessica and Chase worked together to accommodate our schedule. They kept in contact and were punctual. Our dog loves them and I would definitely recommend them, but would like to keep them all for myself!”

“Libby was great with my anxious dog over the Fourth of July. Very flexible and attentive especially last minute!”

“Great sitter! She took exceptional care of both of our Golden Retrievers and showed such a genuine love for them from the very start. Her communication was truly top-notch — consistent, timely, and reassuring — which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She came two days in a row at the same hours to let our sweet babies out, and her reliability and presence meant everything to us. It was clear she was fully engaged, attentive, and truly cared about their comfort and happiness. You can tell she has a huge heart for Goldens, and that made us feel over the moon knowing how loved our pups were. We felt completely safe and confident leaving our dogs in her care, and we are so grateful for the love and consistency she showed them. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate sitter!”

Brianna D.

“Leah did a great job walking our dog! She is professional and kind. She followed all instructions left and took great care of our dog!”

Tracy K.

“Great communication and my dog, Charlie, seemed very happy on her walks!”

About: What maybe sets me apart from other sitters, is that I'm extremely genuinely excited to be in a dogs/cats presence. I'm the type of person that can be seen a crowded room, snuggling the dog and ignoring all the humans. I always want the animal to be seen, and shown with the most attention possible (because they are just too cute!). I had a dog growing up, so I've been around puppies & seniors. I've also dog sat for many years, all ages and types. I'm super active, so if your dog needs to let some energy out - I'm your person! I'm also super chill, a great protector, always making sure the pets are safe, healthy, looking for any signs of discomfort, and truly treat them like they are my own. I work remotely, so any day/time of the week works for me. Weekends are mostly free as well. Ideally, a routine would be nice so I know what to expect, but short notices are also flexible. I have 3 cats of my own, so housing your pet in my house is not an option. I will be extremely careful and detail oriented, making sure everything is locked, secured harness, no small objects on floor, things are turned off, and so on.

“Michalena is wonderful with my dog. She's patient, thoughtful and very responsible. I highly recommend Michalena.”

“Briana came out and walked my dog for me for a week while I had longer working hours. Duke loved her, she was prompt and had great communication! I so appreciated her coming out of her way to get him out and will absolutely be booking again!”

“Emma was great with our dog Apple! And was available on such shoet notice for un unforseen circumstances. Will definitely use her again in the future:)”

About: Throughout my childhood and early adulthood, I have cared for many different animals. I walked my neighbor's dog weekly for over eight years. I have completed agility and obedience training courses with my family's old dog. I have worked at horse stables and volunteered in animal shelters. I just love animals! I am currently unemployed. I am a student on winter break for six weeks! This makes it so that I have a very flexible schedule and a lot of availability. I am more than happy to spend a long time at my client's house, playing with the pets, cuddling with them, keeping them company - you name it!
