Dog Walking in Blackhawk, Madison, WI

About: I am in incoming second year at Colorado State University majoring in animal science and looking to become a Veterinarian. I have sat for family and friends pets since a very young age and have enjoyed all of my experiences. I worked at University of Wisconsin’s vet clinic for two years in High School taking care of and cleaning up after various kinds of animals. I am looking to gain more experience while I am home over the summer and caring for animals is something I love to do! I am available almost everyday over the summer with exceptions of some vacations. I am very flexible on the days I am in town as I don’t have another job or any other prior commitments. I can do anything needed including walking, feeding, cleaning up after, spending time with, or playing with animals. I would not be able to take any pets at my house since I have two dogs of my own but I would be more than willing to stay over at owner’s homes! really anything needed involving animal care I can provide.

“Jennifer is great! We'd love for her to walk our dog again (in fact we already rebooked). We needed help once a week with our 8mo puppy. Jennifer always picks him up on schedule and returns him happy and well exercised! Our dog loves everyone but my husband is convinced the pup loves Jennifer extra.”

“Michelle was fantastic! My dog Samson took to her right away and she did a great job keeping me updated on how he was doing while I was away on vacation, which gave me huge peace of mind. Will definitely use her for dog walks in the future!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, starting with walking dogs for my neighbors — from tiny terriers to big, energetic labs. That hands-on experience taught me how to handle different sizes, breeds, and personalities with confidence and care. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable nature and genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable with leash training, reading dog body language, and keeping even the most energetic pups engaged and happy. I’m also attentive to each pet’s needs — whether that means a brisk walk, a slow stroll for a senior, or extra cuddle time. Your pet’s safety, routine, and happiness always come first with me. I have a very flexible schedule and am available anytime — weekdays, weekends, and even holidays. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals and can easily adjust my day around their needs. Whether it's an early morning walk, midday visit, or evening check-in, I’m ready whenever your pet needs me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it as my own. I follow all routines closely from feeding times to walks and medication and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. I keep a calm, clean environment and make sure pets feel secure, whether they’re outgoing or shy. I pay close attention to details like locked doors, clean water bowls, and tidy spaces. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident and connected while you're away.

“Victor always does a great job with my little Buddy. Sometimes I am nervous about how my dog might react around a new person, but Victor has been amazing and Buddy loves when he visits. Definitely recommend!”

About: I am a dog lover who work from home, so your pup will always have care and attention. My own sweet dog Nila loves having canine friends over to play or relax with! I pride myself on being highly communicative—expect lots of photo and video updates throughout the day :) Your pup will never be left alone for long stretches and can enjoy frequent potty breaks, walks, and play sessions throughout the day. We usually start the morning with a potty break and outdoor time. Midday includes more walks, visit to dog park, or play with Nila. We wrap up the evening with another outdoor break and wind-down time. Whether your dog is playful or prefers a quiet spot to relax, we’ll adjust the routine to meet their needs. We live in a quiet, dog-friendly residential area surrounded by parks, grassy trails, and trees. We live on the first floor, with quick and easy access to the outdoors, including a dog run.

About: I have had dogs, and have taken care of them since I was 7. I have grown up with puppies, and have experience in training them, as well as taking care of senior dogs. I love playing fetch with them, running around, or just cuddling with them. Any dog, big or small, no matter the breed, I love! I am currently a college student working part time over the summer. I am available anytime I'm not working, so in the morning, afternoon or evening! I take care of my pets every single minute I am home, so it is a normal thing for me. :) I care for pets by following whatever you would like me to do to ensure they feel safe and comfortable around me and their environment. Whether it's walking your dog, playing with them in the backyard, or making sure they follow house rules like staying off the furniture( or cuddling on the couch if that’s allowed) I adapt to your preferences and your pet’s needs!

“Alisyn did a great job with Willis! Her feedback was helpful and it was nice to know he was being well taken care of. Alisyn worked with us on everything we needed. Highly recommend! We will be continuing to use her services.”

About: I regularly walk and check in on a dog four times a week and have pet sat for several families. I’ve also helped care for my grandma’s dog over the years. I’m reliable, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe and cared for. I am currently on summer break, so I have a pretty high availability to care for pets — through boarding, quick walks, drop in visits, etc! I provide a calm, safe environment and always follow care instructions closely. Though I don’t have a fenced yard, I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats — supervising pets carefully to ensure their safety and comfort at all times.

“Mik and Augie were the sweetest and very loving with our dogs. I am forever grateful that they were able to stop by to let our dogs out and love on them a bit when we had a long day of work!”

“We have a reactive dog that needs time, space and discipline. Sidney is very friendly, understanding and willing to work with us to make our pup comfortable. We are happy to book her again!”

About: My name is Jiayi H, go by Joyce. I live in a 2 story house (basement and first floor are dog-friendly) and our house surrounded by park and trails so it will be a lot of running around and playing time if your dogs stay here with me. I have a lovable, friendly 2-year-old Australian Labradoodle, Luca, that I spoil silly as I will with you pup as well. I have puppy training experience, raised Luca from 8 week, and took care of 13 yrs old dog for 3 months. My schedule is flexible so I can usually take on new dogs at a moment’s notice. I love taking pictures and videos of them so you will feel updated and can enjoy your time away knowing that you will have no worries. I’m working from home so most of my time will be caring your pup and Luca. Daycare drop off at 7:00-8:30 am and pickup hours are between 5-6 pm. Any time after 6 pm please let me know as soon as possible, and I can offer boarding or extended hours as well. I have unfenced yard, one dog crate, and playpen for puppies. For daycare and boarding, I will walk your dog 2 times a day, including 20-min walks in the morning and after dinner; will also do 2 potty breaks at noon and bed time.

About: Was the owner of a very well loved Labrador so plenty of experience with dogs outside of the app. Have had the opportunity to board a dog and provide walking services already and am looking for more opportunities. I work part-time outside the home and my spouse works at home full time so they will get plenty of attention during the day. Additionally my 3 kids love animals. I am flexible with what works best for your dog including more frequent walks, using a crate, special diet, or letting them use my home like any other guest.

About: With 18 years of my own personal experience, I've been raised around dogs and have a great affinity for what they need. I specialize in the care of mature dogs, giving each pet a sense of security, love, and tender care. I know firsthand about patience and handling many different personalities and needs with my own three dogs. Whether entertaining a hyper puppy or providing some added comfort for an aging dog, I'm dedicated to delivering the utmost quality care. Pet care is part of my daily routine—walks, playtime, training, and regular grooming for my dogs. I ensure they stay healthy, happy, and engaged, and I bring the same care to other pets. In both my home and clients’ homes, I ensure a safe, pet-friendly environment. I keep hazardous items out of reach, create comfortable spaces for rest, and supervise playtime. I follow each pet’s routine and needs closely to maintain trust and minimize stress. Whether it's a cozy corner for naps or secure outdoor time, I focus on safety, consistency, and making pets feel at ease.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 13 and a former dog boarding attendee! I've had my own dog for 8 years, as well as, other animals previously. I worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility for 1.5 years in high school, where I learned the in's and out's of supervising clients' dogs and cats. I took care of the animals that slept over, let them outside, feed them, and medicated those who had prescriptions. In addition to the experience of handling other individuals dogs, and my own dog, I have learned the different behaviors each dog can portray. This has played a key role when I take my own dog on a walk, or approach other dogs in public. Overall, I have a huge love for dogs! I just graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder in May, and am back home in Madison for the summer! I am available most days and times. Starting mid August, I'll begin my full-time job switching to morning and evening availability. Entering other individuals homes, I want to respect the environment you and your dog is comfortable with. I am flexible with what that looks like, whether that is going outside, placing them in a crate, etc. I am fully understanding each dog's routine is different.
