Dog Walking Avenues West

“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 :)”

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.

“Alex is an excellent dog walker/caretaker. My dogs love her and she is 100% reliable. She goes out of her way to help her clients. Her communication is excellent and timely. Highly recommend.”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little. We adopted my first dog when I was 9 years old, and now he is a senior dog that requires time, care and attention. I have experience with all ages of dogs and cats, and am dedicated to making your fur baby feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to make sure your cat or dog gets the best time and attention even when you are not home. I am currently working part-time at a yoga studio! I have plenty of time on the side to play with your pups or hangout with some cats! I have availability during the day M-F and Saturday mornings currently. I can be very flexible to accommodate your schedule to make sure your fur babies are taken care of. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and cared for while you're away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while maintaining a clean and safe environment. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else's care, so I will keep you updated with messages and photos throughout my visits. As a psychology graduate with experience working in caregiving and support roles, I am patient, attentive, and committed to creating a positive experience for both pets and their owners.

About: I have experience with both cats and dogs, at every age! I was blessed to live in a home with both! I am fluent in anything pet related :) I am a full time engineering student, but my weekly schedule is very flexible around that, as a lot of my school work is mobile! I am fully available on weekends, and super open and flexible during the weekdays! I can care for big dogs, whether that’s walking or getting them in their crate. I have experience caring for young puppies and kittens too.

“Thanks again Jamie! Augie enjoyed his walk. We appreciate your help.”

“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.

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats. I currently have two cats of my own that I love with my entire heart! I know what it’s like to have pet parent guilt leaving your fur babies alone at home, and I would love to help take that weight off your heart! I am a professional volleyball player. I live here in Milwaukee during the off-season and don't have much to do in the summer. I workout in the mornings at 9am, but after that I am completely free. My gym is out in Wauwatosa, so it is no problem for me to make a trip out to the suburbs every day! I am usually busy on weekends, but weekdays are almost always wide open! I will follow whatever plan/schedule that you have laid out for your fur babies! I would feel most comfortable walking and caring for dogs that are trained on leash!

“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”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little, with dogs of my own. In high school, I was a "trained puppy socializer," which basically means I got paid to take care of puppies, train and socialize them to new things. Working with puppies for a couple years, I definitely have experience with hyper dogs on walks! As well, I spent some time as a dog-watcher at Tailwaggers, a dog-boarding company. I've also pet sat around the holidays for many years, deciding now I want to year round! I have three dogs back at home, I miss doggies in my life, so I would be super excited to get to hang with yours! I’m a second-year dental student at Marquette University School of Dentistry, and I live literally right across the street from the building—about a 20 second walk door-to-door. Because of that, I’m able to come home frequently throughout the day to check in, take walks, play, and give your dog plenty of attention and care. There’s also a great park nearby that’s perfect for dogs who love to run and get their energy out. I’ve always loved being around dogs—they’ve been a constant source of comfort and joy in my life—and getting back into Rover is honestly just as much about having dogs in my life again as it is about helping others and paying for school. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to learn more about my experience (or dental care 😜). I’d love to meet you and your dog! I’m also open to a regular commitment as well and am pretty flexible with my fees as I start building my profile back up. I will follow any and all instructions provided for how to care for your dog. I love to play and hang with doggie, but I will respect all rules regarding crating, where to potty, when to play, etc. I have pets in my family home, but none in my apartment where I live currently, so your dog will get all of my attention!

“Emily was incredibly responsive to messages and was able to come by on short notice to do a meet and greet prior a few scheduled walks we unexpectedly needed later that day. In the pictures, it looked like our dog Ducky had a great time.”

Sabrina C.

“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!”

“Jake has been fabulous with my dog— he clearly has a great energy with animals and his dog Atlas has been a major bonus as Hanu loves playing chase with him. Additionally, he’s prompt and professional with his replies and shares some adorable photos. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a walker!”

Alison L.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and have hands-on experience caring for pets for family and friends. I’ve taken my brother’s dog on walks and potty breaks numerous times and understand the importance of exercise, routine, and giving dogs plenty of attention. I’ve also cared for my sister’s dog for several days at a time while she was out of town, managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and providing companionship. In addition, I’ve helped friends by stopping by during the day to let their dogs outside and make sure they were comfortable and cared for. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I strive to provide patient, reliable, and loving care so both pets and owners feel at ease. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a fun walk, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to treating them like they’re my own. I'm currently in between jobs, so I am free any day of the week. I usually spend my mornings on my job hunt and then go for a walk or run and exercise. I'm very physically active and enjoy being outside, so I'm very open and flexible! I have a private dog park at my apartment building that is great! I am also open to whatever my clients' needs and wants are. If they need me to stay at their place for a little to help their pet feel comfortable, I can accommodate. As mentioned before, I love being outside for walks, or if you have a sporty dog that enjoys runs, I can help out as well! I have a great track record for trust worthiness and dependability. I'm very communicative and will always be available to send pictures or talk through any questions you may have.

“Vanessa has been walking my dog regularly for several weeks now and I couldn’t be happier with her help. She’s been very patient and loving with my dog, flexible on the schedule, and provides great walk reports and pictures. Thanks, Vanessa!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner and lover from a very young age. I had 3 small dogs growing up, including a chronically ill girl and an elderly animal. I dog sat often growing up and in high school, both small and large dogs. This also included medically complex dogs and elderly animals. I have taken care of single dogs and up to 4 small dogs at the same time. I am good with dogs that are high energy and very smart, and love to play with them! I’m currently in college, with classes daily from around 8am to 2pm. Over the summer I will only be available before 9am and after 4pm on weekdays and available all day on weekends. I believe dogs should be treated with respect and care that humans are treated with. I am able to handle scrappy/barking small dogs on walks and in home. I can handle larger, less aggressive dogs. Energy levels of all kinds are welcome.

About: What sets me apart is both my personal and professional experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently work at Dogtopia, where I care for and supervise dogs daily. This has helped me become patient, attentive, and comfortable working with different temperaments and energy levels. I also have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. My senior dog, Otis, had arthritis, so I learned how important patience, comfort, and attentive care are for older pets. I also helped raise and train our pug puppy with basic training, routines, and socialization. Because of these experiences, I understand that every pet has different needs depending on their age and personality, and I always try to make pets feel safe, active, and cared for like they’re my own.⭐️😊 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work at Dogtopia, where I help maintain a safe, clean, and fun environment for dogs of all sizes and personalities. 🐾 My job has taught me the importance of paying close attention to dogs’ behavior, safety, and overall well-being throughout the day. When I’m home, I also spend a lot of time caring for my own dog. I enjoy taking him on long walks by the lake, staying active with him through runs and playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care every day.🦮🏃‍♀️❤️ When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I make sure the environment is clean and secure by checking doors, gates, food, and anything that could be unsafe or easily gotten into by curious pets.🤗 I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and individual needs to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while their owner is away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I always try to make pets feel safe, cared for, and at home.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 8. Grew up on a farm in Iowa, now I walk dogs and take them on runs with me! I love bigger dogs as well, I have had German Shepard’s, Bull mastiffs and Great Danes on my farm. I go running/ walking everyday, so it would be perfect for a puppers to go along with me!! Easy at scheduling, and always near my phone for a call. Just because it says unavailable on my schedule doesn’t mean I don’t have an opening, message me anytime! I am only available for dog walking at this time, I can dog sit, but it would have to be at the owners house, as I don’t live in a dog friendly house.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was in middle school! I have cared for all types of dogs, from lap dogs to Irish Wolfhounds! I have also cared for all ages of cats! I am an animal lover who has a 7 year old Dachshund named Finn, who I have raised since he was a puppy! I currently have a full time office job but am free after work and on weekends! I also work from home on Friday's and can come during the day on those days! I will treat your pet like my own and always do my best! Let me know any special care or peculiarities and I will accommodate!

About: While I only have a few years experience in pet care, I have been around all pets my entire life, and I am very comfortable around pets of all kinds. I was very involved in the care of my family dog when I lived at home, and I have experience house sitting for families with both cats and dogs. I will always make sure your pet is safe and comfortable, and I communicate every step of the way! I have a full time job during the week that would prevent me from check-ins and walks, but I am free during the evenings and all weekend for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. Respect is always my priority with your pet and your home. I am very patient and careful with pets, and I will never push their boundaries. I am committed to following all of the rules and routines you give me, and I will give you frequent updates!
