Dog Walking Council Bay

About: Hello! I’m Laura, and I’m so excited to welcome your four-legged family member into my heart and home. Having grown up with dogs and raised three of my own beloved pups through to their golden years, I know firsthand that dogs aren't just pets—they are cherished family members. Now that my home is a bit quieter, I have a wealth of love, patience, and attention to share with your dog while you are away. Why Choose Me? Lifetime of Experience: I have over 40 years of experience living with and caring for dogs. Senior Dog Care: Having loved three dogs through their entire lives, I am highly comfortable with senior care, gentle pacing, and keeping strict medication and feeding schedules. A Safe, Loving Environment: Your dog will get my full attention, plenty of belly rubs, and a calm, reliable routine that mirrors the comfort they have at home. Whether your pup is an energetic walker or a professional couch cuddler, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend and give you peace of mind knowing they are in safe, loving hands! My daily and weekly schedule is very consistent, which makes it easy to provide a reliable, stress-free routine for your dog. During the week, my schedule allows me to easily plan my day around a dog's needs. I am always home for dedicated morning, late afternoon, and evening care. Because my routine is highly structured, I can guarantee regular potty breaks, timely feedings, and medication administration on a strict schedule. My late afternoons, evenings, and weekends are wide open and entirely dedicated to pet care. Whether that means going for relaxed neighborhood walks, playing in the yard, or just offering quiet companionship on the couch, your dog will be a central part of my day. I treat guest dogs like family, fitting them seamlessly into a warm, attentive, and loving daily routine. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether a dog is staying with me or I am visiting them in their own home. Having raised three dogs of my own, I know how important a secure and predictable environment is for a pet's peace of mind. In My Home: I maintain a calm, dog-friendly, and completely smoke-free environment. Before any stay, I do a thorough safety sweep to ensure all hazards, cords, or human foods are securely out of reach. Dogs in my care are supervised closely, and I follow a strict double-check policy on all doors and gates when entering or exiting. In Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it secure, clean, and exactly as you left it. During visits or house sits, I stick closely to your security routines (locking doors, arming alarms) and ensure your dog is safely secured inside before I leave. My Care Philosophy: Tailored to the Dog: I strictly adhere to your specific rules regarding furniture, feeding schedules, and crate training to keep their routine seamless. On-Leash Safety: I always keep dogs securely on-leash during walks and remain highly alert to our surroundings and other animals. Constant Communication: I love sending daily photo updates so you can see firsthand how happy, relaxed, and safe your pup is!

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life and expected to take care of them myself. I also spent lots of days/nights house sitting for neighbors and friends :) I absolutely love meeting new furry friends and making sure they receive the same love they give. I am available every single morning/afternoon before 4. I have a very flexible schedule and can try to always work something out when needed. I can stay overnight in homes any night of the week. I have a fenced in yard and 3 friendly dogs at home to keep company :) I have a small & Xlarge dog crate in case the pup needs to be in a crate whole home.

About: I love animals of all kinds! I’m a nurse looking to hang out with your pets on my days off. I have experience with every care need from early puppy socialization to end of life care. I haven’t met a dog yet I didn’t immediately become besties with, from the tiniest chihuahua to the biggest pittie or Dane. I will never turn a dog down because of their breed! I’m also happy to look after any other animals you might have, from reptiles to birds to horses. Just ask and we’ll make it work! I have a rotating schedule that includes a full week off every third week. I work 5p-3a three days a week (and every third weekend). Just message and we’ll figure something out! Yours: I understand being particular about one’s home, so no reasonable request relating to my conduct there would be too much! Cleaning up after myself is a given, as is following any personal house rules. Mine: All of my animals are up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick medication, and I require the same from any animal I keep in my home. They would be kept separate from my 4 cats for the first couple of days, but with discretion and communication I would be fine with introducing them if they were interested in each other. Smoke free home.

“Thank you for great care for Ella!”

About: Grew up on a farm with lots of cats and dogs. I have a 15-year-old border collie mix that can no longer go for long walks. Hoping for the opportunity to take some other pups on walks too! I work as a nurse, so I am more than willing to administer medications and injections. Being that I have an elderly dog myself, I am no stranger to senior care or special needs. I currently work as a nurse full-time, but I am available after 5 pm to help with taking your dog out or checking in on your kitty. I am available most weekends as well. I cannot offer pet boarding, but I am willing to check in on your furry family members! I am always willing to lend a hand when life gets busy. Although my background is in human care, I can administer CPR, medications, and injections. Just let me know!

About: Hi, my name is Megan. I have been volunteering at my local Humane Society, for over 2 years, so I’ve had lots of experience with so many different breeds of dogs! I enjoy all types of animals. Potty breaks I know are important along with tons of play time. I am able to learn/ adapt to your pets needs! All animals are wonderful in my eyes! Lots of pets and scratches, and belly rubs also included! I personally would love to be able to watch your pets. It’s my dream job I’d say! I’m very laidback, and have a calm personality . Also I’ll treat your pet as I would my very own. I work part time! So most days I am available to walk or watch your animals! Just message me to talk more about how I can care for your animal(s)! I would do anything for my animals. There is a fenced in big back yard! My 2 dogs love it. I keep my two dogs as healthy as possible! I love them like family.

About: I've taken care of a variety of dogs since I was very young. I grew up with labs and I am very comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I took care of my yellow lab/retriever mix, Blue, for so many years; taking her on long walks, giving her baths, making sure she got along with our neighbor dogs. I also helped out taking care of my neighbor dogs from time to time. After my dog died at the age of 15, my family didn't think we would get another dog. 7 years ago, we got a new puppy, his name is Brooks, and he is a yellow lab. He is very different than our old dog. He has lots of energy, he has ran away a couple times but always came back or we found him, and we lived on 2 acres of land so that helped. He is our first inside dog, so he loves cuddles, treats, sleeping, playing catch and sneaking downstairs where he is not supposed to be. I have lots of experience with dogs and I appreciate and love them very much! I am currently working at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse, so I have the summer off. This summer I also work part-time at Festival. During the school year, I have Fridays off and I am done by 5:30pm the other days. On Mondays and Wednesdays I have slower mornings. I can help out throughout the day and on weekends. I live in an apartment building but there is an area with lots of grass and next to the building and around the area. My building doesn’t allow pets so I am not able to house pets at my place, but I can always talk to my landlord.

About: I have been taking care of animals from farm, household, wildlife and even exotics; for as far back as I can remember! At just 6yrs old, I had found my place mainly amongst K9s. I have over a decade working professionally with dogs, gaining experience and multiple certifications across the U.S. This including, training, behavior consulting, enrichment specialist, mushing, daycare, shelter/sanctuary caregiver/behavioral rehab (Including Best Friends Animal Sanctuary!), medical care, vet assistant, special needs, the list goes on. Anything you need for your fur babies I got you covered! NOTE: Yes, this profile is mainly aimed towards dogs but, feel free to reach out about any critter you have! I currently work part-time in shelter as a Behavior Consultant and caregiver. Outside of that, I offer Behavior and Enrichment Services through my business at K9Rewild. If you are looking for these services, please reach out directly and I look forward to working with you and your pup! As a Multi.Certified K9 Behavior Consultant, I can assure professional and safe services for you and your pup. I love relationship building! Prioritizing each individuals likes, dislikes, quirks and anything they need overall to thrive. I utilize positive, fear free, science backed methods. We will go over their routines, any medications, any goals to teach, activities and more! They will never be unsupervised and I can assure they'll get plenty of mental and physical enrichment.

About: *My services will be inactive April 2026 - October 2026 for military purposes.* My love for animals started when I was young. I would dog sit here and there when I was little and as I grew up I started taking on more serious, committed pet sitting jobs. I am willing to look after a variety of pets. Myself I have 2 dogs, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and 2 chickens. I also am a part of a foster group. I love staying busy and I love dogs even more! I currently work full time between my three jobs but my schedule is pretty flexible. I mostly take on jobs where pets do not need someone there 24/7. I don’t take pets into my own home because of my own dogs. I also have many small animals and I don’t trust others pets around them. I like to keep the dog in their home so they are more comfortable with their surroundings.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have cared for all kinds, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. My family has always been full of pet lovers and our home has always welcomed animals of all shapes and sizes. Growing up,I learned how to care for pets kindly, patiently, and responsibly. I currently have a cat of my own, and she truly is my pride and joy. I also regularly care for the pets of friends, coworkers, and family members when they’re out of town or need extra help. I’m a huge animal lover and have a very soft spot for pets. I truly care deeply about their well-being. I’m especially attentive to making sure animals feel safe, comfortable and loved. I would love to provide that same level of care and peace of mind for you and your pets! I work full-time, but have the option to work from home whenever needed, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m especially available after 4 PM, but I’m happy to make other times work as well. I can bring my work computer with me if needed and take breaks as I please, so I’m able to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Your pet safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow care instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised, secure, and stress-free. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any special needs they may have. My home is calm, clean, and pet friendly. I make sure doors and windows are secured, remove any potential hazards, and provide plenty of space for pets to relax and feel at home. I’m very attentive during walks and outings and always use leashes, unless otherwise instructed. I treat every pet as if they were my own and worked hard to build trust so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident in my care.

I can also help with basic training such as walking nicely on a leash. I am currently trying to find a new career so working with doggos in the meantime will help me in that journey. I am open for walks or checks in during the week, but can only do stayovers on the weekends. I unfortunately can not have pets at my current residence as it is my parents, but I am more than willing to multiple stops or even overnights for your pets. I will love and care for them as if they’re my own.

About: I currently have a 1 year old husky puppy who is as sweet as can be. I grew up with several Shetland sheepdogs, miniature poodles, and other small critters. I have also spent countless time volunteering at dog rescues. At these rescues, I have helped with medication administration, socialization, and worked with puppies-senior dogs. Monday through Friday any night after 5:00pm I can be available. I currently work 7:30-4:00. On the weekends, I am completely free for whatever you pets may need. In my home, my dog currently sleeps in bed with me, is free roaming throughout the day. With daily walks and trips to our dog park. In your home, I will respect whatever rules and requests you may have. I get everyone views training, socialization, and other factors differently. I will do my best to respect your needs and keep your furry one company whenever you need an extra eye.

About: I have always had pets in my home my whole life both dogs and cats I am more of a dog person but I absolutely love caring for all animals and I know how difficult it can be depending on the animal my parents most recent dog was a handful he was in and out of several homes before finding his way to ours because of he’s very energetic and sometimes violent behavior but we turned him to a sweetie with time and good training. At first he was rather aggressive towards me and was very difficult to train because of how long he had gone without training which taught me a lot of tricks to deal with a difficult and aggressive dog. I love this job and I hope your pet will enjoy my company as much as I’ll enjoy theirs. I have bathed dogs helped bathe a cat with flees and I’m down to learn anything if you’ll help show me. I do this full time so I am usually always free to offer the most reliable and consistent pet care experience for your pet and I’m always available unless I’m watching other pets. I’d love to do repeat visits to build a better relationship with you and your pet. I do the absolute best of my ability to ensure that your dog feels safe and happy when with me and I hope after meeting me you’re pet is excited to see me again.
