Dog Walking Barton

“Sydney responded right away to my request for help, and was so positive, comfortable, professional, and willing to help out. My two labs are pretty active so it was great to see how calm they felt with her right away. She was punctual and had excellent communication. Thank you, Sydney!!”

About: My name is Jacalyn, and I am a dedicated pet caregiver/house sitter in the West Bend area. When I’m not spending time with animals, I am a freelance artist working on long-term creative projects. Because my artwork is completely mobile, it makes me the perfect companion for your pets! I provide a consistent, calm presence in your home, ensuring your animals are never lonely, stressed, or left unattended for long periods. Specialized Experience & Skills: Unlike standard dog walkers, I have a deep, lifetime background in diverse animal care. You can completely trust me with your entire household ecosystem. Dogs: I grew up with a toy poodle in our home, caring for him when my parents went away. I would also house sit for our neighbor with medium-large dogs as a young adult. I have more recently house sat overnight for friends and my previous boss with two large dogs, providing structured feeding, walks, and plenty of play time. Small Pets: I formerly worked at a pet store where I was responsible for the daily care, feeding, and habitat maintenance of cats, dogs, birds, fish, rabbits and rodents. I also cared for my own pet mice, rats and rabbits over the years. I adore all animals, big and small. Animal Shelter Volunteer Roots: My love for animals started early—I volunteered at our local animal shelter with dogs and cats as a kid, learning how to handle different temperaments, walk the dogs, and keep environments clean and safe. If you have an animal friend that needs care while you're away, dog walking or a permanent home/vacation home that needs house sitting and check ups, don't hesitate to send me a message. I aim to provide the best care for your fur baby tailored around your work day, weekend plans, holiday travel, or seasonal vacations. My radius includes within 15 miles of West Bend. I am available for all of the services listed Tuesday-Sunday. My week is open for your nanny needs. Whether you are a local heading out on a vacation, long work days, or a tourist renting a cabin and looking to explore the local landscape, I am here to help. Why Choose Me? Because I balance my pet care with my art projects, your pets get the absolute best of both worlds: structured, energetic outdoor time combined with hours of quiet, indoor companionship while I work. I am detail-oriented, highly respectful of your property, and communicative with plenty of photo updates. Not only will i take care of your family member, but make sure everything is spotless when you return. I look forward to meeting you and your unique pets! Please feel free to reach out with your upcoming dates.

About: I have taken care of many dogs and animals before. I have cared for and trained various animals including cats, dogs, horses, cows, and goats. Some of the dogs I've sat for were show dogs or had health needs that required a strict routine, diet, or medication needs. While I used to be in the workforce I am home with two boys, they would be with me for any visits or walks so a somewhat kid friendly dog is needed. We used to have dogs of our own so they are both used to pups. This does make me super flexible and able to get up and go pretty quick. I have experience with a wide array of dog breeds, temperaments, energy levels and sizes. Im all ears for preferences and needs for any dog too. I am up and ready to go if needed by 8 and try to be home to cook by 4, and then Im available from 5:30/6ish when dinner raps up as my husband is home and I can run if needed. I approach slowly and gently to encourage calm for the high energy ones and safety for the more timid. I can give food and water if needed, kennel the pup if needed, and will leave the place the same if not better than how I found it.

About: Hey there! I am a Professional Certified Dog Trainer (Knowledge Assessment) specializing in positive reinforcement methods. I have experience with a variety of behaviors and breeds through previous dog walking, fostering, shelter dog training, and private dog training. My own rescue pittie came with very intense reactivity which we were able to work on extensively, so I’m more than happy to extend my services to pets with potentially difficult behavior needs. I intend to treat each pet as though they were my own and ensure they are safe and that we have a blast together! Can’t wait to meet your pup and please reach out with any questions! I am currently a full-time remote, freelance worker . This allows me to offer flexible scheduling and dedicated, quality, focused time with your pets . I have access to a yard that is not fenced in, but provides quick and convenient leashed potty breaks and lots of nature watching either on the deck or roaming supervised on a long leash in the grass. I constantly have my head on a swivel due to my training so I am ready for any unexpected events. I am skilled with crate and other preventative/maintenance method training. Flexible to meet whatever special needs your pet has while in my care.

About: Dog owner x 30years. Had 2 dogs x 10 years, otherwise only 1 dog. Dogs enjoyed family adventures. Currently enjoying being a Grandma to my Grand pastor and foster pups Working part-time as RN, Jazzercise and caregiver for seniors. Schedule flexible. Have a SUV that I can transport dog to the dog park if desired. I use a long leash for yard. Enjoy walking dogs on heel when in residential areas. Enjoy the variety of parks, hiking trails and water in my neighborhood.

About: As far as experience goes there isn’t a time in my life I remember that I wasn’t caring for an animal. From reptiles, to rodents, to cats and dogs, I’ve had them all. From a young age I was taught responsibility and discipline when it came to caring for tiny creatures. Additionally for over two years I volunteered weekly at a local animal shelter. During this time I gained knowledge as to how animals interacted with one another, how to properly administer medication, warning signs to look out for, what to do in emergencies, and deeply studied animal behavior. To add on to that I am currently employed at a doggie daycare. During my time here not only have I gotten to widen my horizons when it came to taking care of animals but I have learned hands on how to bandage a wound, what to do in animal confrontations as well as how to handle the unexpected such as sickness or seizures. Additionally over the last 3 years I have volunteered at different animal welfare programs across the globe. These include Portugal, Puerto Rico, Tanzania and soon Hawaii. During this time I have not only seen hands on other cultures way of taking care of animals but also gained knowledge as to how to better the animal care I provide to clients. As I previously stated I currently am employed at a doggie daycare. Additionally I work at a bakery as well. My schedule changes weekly so it can be hard to give an exact time frame when booking. Typically I work up to 8 hour shifts. I typically prefer to stay in clients homes to keep their pets safe and happy in their own environment. I will be there in the morning before work, and will immediately come back when I get off as well as being there at night. I try to spend as much time as possible with the pets while you are away I typically only offer staying in the clients home and I am comfortable crating animals while gone. I always keep things like medications safely out of reach and secured. Additionally upon booking I typically ask about any health notes, allergies, or special needs as well as a good contact number for your vet in case of emergency.

“Travis is amazing with our two dogs! We feel lucky to have found him. He welcomes and follows our detailed dog care instructions. The dogs always seem happy and tired after spending time with him.”

About: “God speaks to the creatures through the creatures.” -Dr. Chase. “All you need is love.” -John Lennon. Plenty of love I have to give, but I also have the experience of 35 years as a science teacher. I’m well-versed in how animals like dogs and cats talk to us through their gestures. Dogs evolved with humans, and I understand that relationship and how dogs meet our emotional needs. Please read my first four reviews which I received from pet owners that I served even before signing up with Rover. The pet owner decides when treats are allowed, if table scraps are allowed, and how much food to give. The dog decides when it wants to go potty. 😉 Just in case, I usually take the dog out before it decides and always before any discomfort. Snuggles welcome. 🐾🥰😻 When serving you and your pet, I like to send pictures. We can also use FaceTime or Zoom to check in. 🐶🤩 At age 61, I’ve been a retired teacher for 3 years, and my activity level allows me to run or play with your beloved dog. In your home, I follow instructions and do the routine for your beloved just like you would. However, if I’m allowed to give more snuggles, or more walks, or more training than you normally have time for, I’m at your service.

“Kirstin is very committed to caring for her dog friends. Great communication and follow through!”

About: I’ve grown up caring for cats and dogs and have always enjoyed spending time with animals. I have an active dog of my own who loves going on long walks, so I’m very comfortable keeping energetic dogs active and entertained. As a high-level athlete, I’m active myself and genuinely enjoy being outdoors, whether that’s walking, playing, or simply spending time with a pet. I’ve also helped neighbors care for their animals while they were away. Right now I’m training in Milwaukee and have practice at 3:30 so I can take care of your pet during the day but also after practice if needed. Would be preferred if I did at the clients house but I live in a apartment right now they have a dog park and sorts.

“Caroline is kind, genuine and Pancho loves her!”

About: My husband and I are workampers! That means we move every season to a new campground and work there. This time, we are at Jellystone Caledonia!! We love to have the presence of animals, since it gets boring living in a campground without an animal to walk. There is a great dog park here with great socialization opportunities (for us and the dogs 😆😆)!! I would love an opportunity to pet sit any type of fur babies, I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life!!! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!! Pet care fits seamlessly into our routine. My husband and I travel full time, which gives us a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. We both enjoy meeting new people and animals along the way, and our lifestyle allows us to be present, attentive, and adaptable. Caring for pets fits easily into our daily life and is something we LOVE. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, litter care, playtime, and medications (if needed) are handled consistently and with attention to detail. I respect the home and keep everything clean and orderly while you’re away.
