Dog Walking Dane

About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your fur babies. I currently have my sweet girl Nova at home and am comfortable with pets of different temperaments and needs. I strive to create a safe, stress free experience while keeping owners updated with lots of photos and messages. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just a consistent routine, I’ll make sure they receive attentive care. I’m currently a SAHM with a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the day. Your pets are treated like family! I have 1 cat in my home currently that is okay with dogs that visit. I maintain a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment and carefully supervise interactions at all times.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have three dogs of my own, all with very different personalities and needs. I’ve put a lot of time into training and creating a successful multidog household, which has given me experience with everything from basic obedience and leash manners to reactivity, resource guarding and special-needs dogs. I’m comfortable following established routines, using the training methods and equipment your dog is accustomed to, and adjusting my approach based on each individual dog. I understand that not every dog is a social butterfly, and I’m happy to give dogs the space, patience and structure they need to feel comfortable. Most importantly, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone else with your dog. I’ll care for yours with the same attention and respect I expect for my own. As a registered nurse, I’m dependable, detail-oriented and comfortable following specific care and medication instructions. I am not only certified in human CPR but also Red Cross Dog/Cat/Pet CPR and first aide certified. I’m also used to communicating clearly, so you can expect plenty of updates while your dog is in my care I’m an RN with a rotating schedule, which gives me several days off during the week and plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. On my days off, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime and plenty of attention! I am home most of the time and my husband works from home so someone will usually be here. With the occasional instances of going out a few hours at a time. We do keep our dogs crated while we are gone and have cameras on the kennel/dog room to keep an eye on them. I know every dog has their own routine, personality and comfort level. I’m happy to follow your established routine and any specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications, crates or training. I have experience with multidog households, reactive dogs and special-needs dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting my approach to what makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away

“Jess kept me updated and sent a lot of photos of Boo. This was his first time having someone from rover come over and it went really well. Thanks!”

“Tricia has been wonderful with Cinco! We were a little nervous about hiring a dog walker for the first time, but Tricia immediately made us feel comfortable. She took the time to get to know Cinco, listened carefully to all of our instructions, and has been incredibly patient about letting Cinco set the pace and build trust with her. Cinco can be reactive to other dogs and can also be nervous around loud noises, so finding someone we trusted to walk her was very important to us. Tricia pays attention to her cues and adjusts the walk when Cinco is uncomfortable rather than pushing her. After only two visits, Cinco was already excited to see her! Tricia is also a great communicator and clearly cares about making sure both Cinco and we are comfortable. We feel very lucky to have found her and are looking forward to having her continue walking Cinco. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello! My family and I currently have a beautiful silver Laborador Retriever, Mae, who brings so much happiness and energy to our lives. I’m a firm believer that a house is not a home without a furry friend! I have a pretty flexible schedule during the day, and would love to help out some pet owners in need of anything from short potty break, midday play, or walk while you’re out! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and am super comfortable with pets of all ages and sizes and have a lot of experience, including caring for older pups who might need a little extra TLC. I also have experience caring for cats (including those who have medication needs). Looking forward to hearing more of your pet care needs and meeting some new furry friends!

“Lensy is so wonderful! She’s consistently communicative and sends such fun photos. Absolutely incredible to have her care for Petey & shows above and beyond consideration for both my pets :) Look forward to having her walk again!”

“Laura was so patient and flexible, even when circumstances were difficult. She was amazing with Louie, who gets nervous with new people in the house. Louie was so happy to get out for nice long walks when we were stuck at work.”

About: With years of experience in pet care, I go beyond just watching your dog - I create a personalized, fun, and safe environment tailored to your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cuddles, I offer a loving, attentive approach that ensures your dog feels right at home. Pet care is a natural part of my daily lifestyle. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m responsible for, making sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection. For dogs, I build in time each morning, afternoon, and evening for walks, play, potty breaks, feeding, and enrichment. I’m active, reliable, and intentional about keeping them on their normal routine so they feel secure and cared for. For cats, I schedule dedicated visits for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and calm companionship. I’m patient with shy or independent cats and love giving extra enrichment to the social ones. I also create time for medication or special-care needs if required. I’m very routine-oriented, so adding pet care into my week fits naturally. Whether it’s multiple check-ins a day or longer stays, I make sure each visit is consistent, on time, and focused fully on your pet’s well-being. I create a safe space whether it be at my course or my client’s house by making sure they feel secure while also establishing a routine and sticking with what is familiar to them.

“Allison is so sweet! She did a great job of walking our dog. He really likes her. She even brought in packages from the porch, which was so nice! We would definitely have her come again, and we highly recommend her.”

About: I enjoy caring for energetic dogs and love keeping them active through games like fetch and tug-of-war. I am a dependable and attentive pet sitter who is comfortable administering medications and providing any additional care your pet may need. I strive to build trust with every pet I care for, and I’m proud that many of my clients have chosen me as their recurring pet sitter. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently available through the beginning of August and am happy to discuss scheduling to find a time that works for you. Please feel free to message me with any questions about my availability. I typically provide care in your home to help keep your pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I can also welcome your furry family members into my home for stays of up to two days, if needed. While I do not have a fenced yard, I make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise through long walks and trips to local parks. If your dog enjoys socializing with other dogs and you approve, I’d be happy to take them to a dog park for additional play and enrichment. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow your care instructions and make sure every dog in my care receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and responsible supervision. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up in a household that has always had at least two dogs, usually 3. We also had 3 indoor-outdoor cats. I am now a student at UW Madison, and I have a 5yr old heeler shepherd mix. Throughout her life I have trained her for obedience and herding, and have dealt with low confidence and reactivity with her daily. I am experienced with dogs who are shy and tend to be reactive. I am studying for a Food Science PhD at UW Madison, so I’m able to take whatever requests work outside of my classes! Most weekends are free, and I update my calendar regularly to reflect class and exam schedules. I have experience training dogs and love hanging out with any breed of dog. I believe dogs need both mental and physical stimulation in order to be fulfilled.

About: Although I have not been a trainer, I have raised my own puppy, as well as been around dogs my whole life! I love nothing more than dogs and the joy they bring to peoples lives, I know times can get busy, but that’s what i’m here for! I have my own puppy at home, and i love spending time with him, but i also love spending time with other dogs:) i love going on walks, and to parks around the neighborhood! I will make sure your pet is actively cared for while I am with them, I will play with, and attend to their special needs!

About: Hi everyone! My name is Alexandra but I tend to go by Lexy. I have had dogs and cats and so many other animals in my household since before I was even born. My mom grew up on a big farm so she was used to being around animals. She wanted to make sure she had the same experience for my brother and I. I have been a part time dog sitter through word of mouth mainly. I just recently graduated from college with my bachelors in Public Health and am looking for a fun filler throughout my summer while I plan next steps. Animals (especially dogs) are my safe space. So please, entrust in me with your fury friend and I promise you will not regret it! I am currently only working part-time on weekends. So schedule is extremely open and extremely flexible. I am also available to do over nights as I have someone at my house who can watch my animals! I will not be offering any services at my own home as I have a pretty full house of animals. To sustain their comfort I want to keep this separate. At my house I have a fenced in yard but a large yard outside that fence the dogs are able to roam. They have an electric fence so they know how far they are supposed to go.

“Sara was absolutely amazing and so easy to work with! She helped us by walking our dog a few times a day while I was on a work trip. Communication was fantastic and our dog really enjoyed his walks! It was a lifesaver having her come over and walk him! It gave me peace of mind while I was gone during the day! I will definitely be booking Sara again!!”

“Jimmy did amazing with Tucker! He took the time to come and meet the day before the walk to talk about Tuckers habits and dos/don'ts which made me feel really comfortable with letting someone else walk our dog. Tucker was extremely happy after the walk too!”

“Zach was so great with my dog and he was such a big help. Super friendly and kind. Would definitely recommend him.”

“Jordan was wonderful, I'm very happy with the service and will definitely use again!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for a couple years now. I’ve had experience from little to big dogs. From a basenji, labrador, german shepherd, great pyrenees mix, a yorkie, and a few other breeds! Friends rely on me to exercise, feed, and give attention to their fur baby. 😊 I have plenty of time on the weekends! I’m currently available at any time Friday-Sunday to take care of your sweet pets! Can start at any point of the day or night! I take care of pets as if they were my own! 🥰 I care about their safety, what they eat, who comes around them, how much outside time they get. I promise to take care of them and give them all the attention. I want to be able to give them some love and snuggles while watching some tv. I make sure to stick to their food schedule and like to let them out every 2-4 hours. Daily exercise is important to me, I like to go on walks and can always use a walking buddy! 🐶
