Dog Walking Avenues West

About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet like they are my own. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, energetic with playful dogs, and gentle with senior animals who may need extra support and slower-paced care. I’m also very detail-oriented and make sure routines are followed closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I communicate consistently with pet owners through updates and photos so they always know their pet is happy and well cared for. What sets me apart most is the amount of genuine attention and affection I give to each pet. I don’t just “watch” animals — I spend quality time with them to make sure they feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for while you’re away. I'm currently nannying on weekdays from 8:00am - 4:30 pm, so I’m available for morning visits before work, evening walks/check-ins, and overnight care depending on the pet’s needs. I’m especially flexible on weekends and have much more availability for walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and quality playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent, stress-free, and fun. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime, and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I have two large-breed dogs at home, so I’m comfortable handling bigger, high-energy dogs, and I have also frequently dog sat for smaller-breed dogs with different temperaments and care needs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care requests.

Mariah S.

“Nothing but great things to say about Jackie! She was able to walk Jenko on a last minute request. Have used her on multiple occasions since. Great communication and follow up. Definitely recommended her for any dog walking needs”

Steven C.

“Jessica is great! On time every day and very communicative with any changes. She was understanding of any modifications we needed to make with days or times and our Mona looked forward to seeing her!”

Amanda G.

“Laurie was awesome! I went to work knowing my puppy was in good hands. Furthermore, with her extensive history in training dogs I knew she would do nothing but help my puppy become a well mannered adult dog on their walks. Furthermore, she gave me great tips as a first time dog owner. She's flexible and kind and very professional.”

Anne G.

“Steven was fantastic! As a first-time dog owner, I’ve never left my puppy alone or with anyone else until now, so this was a big step for me. I’m so grateful to have found someone I (and Moose!) trust and feel comfortable with. He took great care of Moose, and it definitely showed - Moose is happy and completely worn out after the day. Thank you for taking such good care of him!”

About: I’m a regular dog foster and walker at MADACC, so I’m comfortable catering to all different pup personalities and needs! I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was young, from puppies to senior with medical needs. I work remote 3 days a week and have no pets of my own, so I have lots of availability to give your dog the attention and care they need! Whether you’re looking for a walker or somewhere to take your pup for a long weekend, I can make most things work. I have a spacious apartment in a dog-friendly building where your dog will have plenty of space to lounge around! I live close to the Summerfest grounds so I have plenty of access to green space for long walks, or just a quick jaunt around the block depending on their preferences. I treat every dog I care for like my own, so you can rest assured your pup will be well cared for with me!

“Riley was wonderful with Rocky! It was great to receive pictures from their walks each day. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable walker :)”

Emily D.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have had lots of experience with walking dogs of all shapes and sizes! I enjoy going for walks with dogs. I’m a high school teacher on my summer break, so I am available almost everyday at all times of day, especially mornings and mid afternoon around 3 or 4pm I love to take dogs on walks in different areas! For example, I love to walk the bike path, neighborhoods, the beach, parks, etc! Any environment works.

“Leandrea always provides stellar service and communication no matter what she does. We had Leandrea stay in our house and used her walking services. Each time she was awesome in both caring for my scared dog and with communication!”

About: I own two cats of my own with my partner, so I’m very experienced in caring for cats. Additionally, growing up I have cared for dogs of all sizes. Right now, my schedule is very open as I work on developing my own company. This leaves lots of time for quick check-ins with your pets and extended overnight stays. I am very clean in my own home, and I will ensure that I am the same in yours. I will always clean up after myself and after your pets (which goes without mentioning)

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family was always fostering dogs in need of a home and spending time with them was my favorite part of the day. Family, friends, and neighbors always knew they could rely on me to watch, walk, and love their pets like my own (taking probably too many pictures of the adorable fluffers.) Because I’m currently between apartments, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible right now! I have plenty of free time during the day and week to focus entirely on your pet’s needs, routines, mid-day walks, and playtime. I care for pets in your home by adapting to the environment they are already comfortable in. Through the experience with pets of my own, I prioritize safety by double-checking locks and doors, following feeding instructions perfectly, and keeping a clean space. I make sure your pets get plenty of supervised playtime and attention, and I'll send you lots of pictures so you never have to worry about how they are doing!

About: Hi! I’m Emilee, and I would love to care for your pet like they’re my own. I’m currently in grad school, so responsibility, attention to detail, and reliability are second nature to me. Because I am currently in clinical training, my schedule can vary slightly week to week. However, I plan ahead and update my availability regularly to avoid conflicts. When I accept a booking, I am fully committed to showing up on time, maintaining routines, and providing attentive, consistent care. I provide engaging, safe walks tailored to each dog’s personality and energy level, always using secure leashing and awareness of surroundings. When boarding in my home, I offer a supervised, low-stress environment with scheduled potty breaks, consistent routines, and plenty of affection to make the transition away from home as smooth as possible.

About: I adapt my energy to your pet’s needs, whether it’s a high-energy playtime session or providing a calm, comforting presence for a relaxing day I’m currently working part time on weekends and my hours do get cut short. Im available on boarding for weekends and weekdays at 10am and mostly anytime that works for you on weekdays will work for me. I have a dog park next door across from the apartment and a lot of walking and grate spots to walk around out through my neighborhood. And you dog can be crated if needed.

About: My name is Karina and I've owned and cared for cats my entire life. While I've always wanted to add a dog into my family, my father is allergic. However, I never resist mingling with dogs whenever I can! I'm very experienced with caring for cats, including feeding, cleaning the litter box, etc. I am so open to home visits to check in on dogs as well as walk them. Outside of animals, I'm a pharmacist! Additionally, I love to travel, go to new restaurants, and cozy up with a good book. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have! I do work full time (~ 11 hour shifts) so an animal who would need 24/7 care may not be the most ideal for my schedule, however I do have consecutive days off pretty frequently. I will listen to you and your wants/needs and how you care for your animals. I know some owners love to keep their dogs in the crate when they're away, and I would do the same.

About: I absolutely love dogs and have spent a lot of time caring for them. I've looked after various breeds and ages, making sure each one feels comfortable and happy. My main goal is to provide a safe and loving environment for your furry friend. As a high school senior, I'm available on weekends and some weekdays. I make sure to balance my schoolwork and pet care responsibilities, so your furry friend will get the attention and care they need during my available times. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable whether they're at my home or in their own home. I keep a clean and pet-friendly environment, and I always follow any specific instructions the owner gives me. Plus, I make sure to spend plenty of time playing and interacting with them to build trust and keep them happy!
