Dog Walking in Downer Woods, Milwaukee, WI

“She’s amazing. My dogs are horrible on leash (I got them both well into their adulthood) and she does some training with them. Would hire her again.”

“Carrianne was able to help us with a last minute walk for our dog. She took the time to stop by the day before to meet him. We appreciated the help and would book her again if the chance comes up!”

“If you’re looking for a dog walker I highly recommend Melissa. She was prompt, professional, and took excellent care of my small dog. She asked relevant questions about my dog before leaving for the walk, and afterwards gave me a thorough update of the walk. I feel comfortable with her in charge of my beloved sweet furry friend!!”

About: I have experience working with a wide range of different breed and sizes of dogs. I worked at a doggie daycare and it was an absolute joy. I have taken care of dogs since I was young. Been surrounded by pets my whole life! From dogs, cats, snakes, fish, hamsters, rabbits ect. People trusted me from a young age with their pets because they naturally floated towards me. From small dogs to big ones. I have taken care of family dogs and friends of family pets. I always volunteered to do anything that involved animals. Not only do I currently handle dogs as my job but I also do baths! I took care of horses and other farm animals down in SC when I would visit family. My family are know to have ranches so animals have been a keen part of my life I'm taking a break from my part-time at a doggy daycare so I got plenty of hours for you dogs needs! I'm available all week for majority of day. I'm able to follow regular routines if informed by my clients in order to minimize confusion and be more comforting for the pets. When it comes to my client's medications for their dogs, I am punctual with how it's administered to their dog. If given permission, I'd bring treats and have them do fun little tricks to build trust between the pets so I'm not just a stranger

About: For the last five years, I have worked at zoos, shelters, and sanctuaries with a variety of animals! In the past I have owned reptiles, and I currently own one dog and three cats. Additionally, I usually have at least one foster animal in my care at all times. I understand that each animal is an individual and will adjust my behavior accordingly. I am happy to be active if your dog is a runner, or a couch potato if they're more of a snuggler! I have experience providing medication and special diets. I am currently working with my dog to decrease his reactivity and my cats on harness training! I am more than happy to do any enrichment or training you request with your furry friend! I am currently between jobs and have few set commitments. This allows me to be extremely flexible in my schedule for all your pet care needs! I ensure that in addition to basic necessities, my animals are given physical and mental enrichment each day, whether it's a training session with my dog or a puzzle feeder for the cats. I am more than happy to do the same for your pets!

“Kindhearted and efficient dog walker! Thank you for tiring our pets out!”

“I feel so lucky to have found Emily on Rover. Finding someone that I could trust and rely on was really important and that is what I have found. She walks my dog, Tito, multiple times every week. It makes my day when I get the notification that she has completed a walk with Tito because I can see how happy he is in the pictures that she takes. I have nothing but good things to say about Emily and am so grateful for the quality time that she has spent with my best friend. Thank you Emily! Highly recommend using her services on Rover.”

About: I grew up in a dog-loving family and have continued my love for all animals throughout my life. My first job was at a horse stables caring for all the horses, dogs and cats on the property and since then I've loved several dogs and cats as family members. I’ve fostered 9 dogs, helping to find their furever families, so I have a special place in my heart for rescues. I provide exercising, playtime, feeding, pottytime, special needs for seniors and of course cuddling. Rocky, my 14 yo yellow lab crossed the rainbow bridge recently, so I have more than enough love to give. I work remotely with a flexible schedule and walk a few miles every day. I’d love a walking companion or to stop and care for animals along the way. I can take my work along with me to provide more long term interactive comfort, care and attention. Reliability and respect for my clients and their pawrents are my top priorities. I know the importance of keeping a routine and strive to provide flexibility and communication to accommodate any needs.

About: welcome! 🔔 please confirm you have read my profile entirely when sending your booking request 🔔 Dogs have been apart of my life for over 25 years. I learned body language, how to care for them, and how to be patient and communicate with them from my amazing Grandfather. They truly bring me joy! I treat each pup as if they’re my own during our time together. 🐾 I will do everything I can to accommodate your pup’s needs & your desires. Whether it’s walks vs runs in the yard, administering medication, or preparing food, if I’m able to do it consider it done! As a pet parent, I know how stressful it can be to find reliable care. With that in mind, I strive to provide the BEST care for your dog the first time in order to lighten your load; giving you the peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in excellent hands. 🐶 I no longer work remotely, so I’m not available for drop ins, walks, or daycare M - Th prior to 5PM. I am willing to board throughout the week, but please note your pup will be home alone for about 11 hours. Fri-Sun, I am available all hours. 🚨 MEET & GREETS ARE MANDATORY FOR ALL SERVICES 🚨 Daycare & Boarding: - Please be mindful that I do have a dog of my own. If you know your dog does not do well with other dogs, please do not request a boarding or daycare. I am open to doing daycare in your home for the pups that prefer to be alone. request house sitting & I will adjust the rate! - my home is best suited for the chill guys and gals. lots of soothing music, lounging, & cuddles 💓. Honey Bun is very reserved inside & gets stressed around high energy dogs. To keep all involved happy & safe, please do not book daycare or boarding if your dog is an energizer bunny. I will be glad to drop in, walk, or do daycare in your home though! 😃 - I have a secured, fenced in yard. I am not willing to take any dog to the dog park. Both the front and back doors have additional doors down the stairs, so the chance of an escape is very close to zero! - I crate all dogs when I’m leaving the home, including Honey B even though she typically is not crated. in special situations, I’m okay leaving your dog to roam a designated area, but that is rare and will be discussed prior to the booking. - I do not have any guests while your dog is in my care. Drop Ins/Walks/House Sitting: - I ask that no other humans are in your home when I come over for drop ins, walks, or housesitting unless previously discussed. - Please book a drop in if care outside of walking is needed. - Please assure all animals that need care are listed individually on your profile. I love surprises, but not when it comes to this! - When coming into your home, I will always leave it just as I found it. I will only enter authorized areas as necessary to care for your pet(s). Please assure that all supplies are provided. 🐾 - We will discuss specific schedules for each housit. Some people prefer longer day time care with no overnight, or moderate daytime care + nights. We will workout the perfect schedule for you, your pup, and me 😊. I am NOT available for constant care (24 hours) as I will need to check in with my own dog & maintain my personal life with errands + self care.

“This was my first booking with Travis and I would definitely book him again. We used him to walk our 65 lb golden retriever and to feed a stray cat that visits our house. He provides more than one photo and responds quickly. We had an initial visit and it was very obvious that he loves both cats and dogs and that our pets would be in reliable and experienced hands.”

Anne R.

“Prior to using Rover, I was very apprehensive to have a stranger care for my dogs. Mostly because my dogs are very anxious, and apprehensive with new people. They are a handful. Jamie does so well with the both of them, they don't bark when she comes to get them, which is significant. She walks them for me regularly, and has house sat for me as well. She is very flexible with her schedule and does what she can to work with you, and help you out. She provides plenty of feedback and pictures so you know your dog children are in good hands! 10/10 would recommend!”

About: I have always loved animals. I have taken many dogs on walks for my family members, from small poodles, to larger German shepherds. I have been responsible for caring for many pets while my friends and family members were on vacation, including feeding them and taking them on walks! I am a graduate student with an incredibly flexible schedule. I am available on most days during most hours and would love to take some time of my day caring for your pet! I would love to play with your pet in your home, using any toys or simply taking longer walks. I always be sure to lock doors behind me when leaving homes

I look forward to meeting you and helping you take care of your furry family member. I work a typical Monday to Friday, 8-5 job. It is remote, so I am typically working from home, although I occasionally have to travel outside of the state for work. If your dog is with me you can be assured their needs will be met! I will make sure they are respected and given the proper attention they need. :)

About: Hello, my name is Elena! I’m a student at UWM currently living in the Downer Woods neighborhood. I always had dogs and cats growing up and have given love and care not only to my pets, but my friend’s pets, including several pet sitting occasions. Being a young adult, I can easily provide as long of a walk as your dog requires and desires, and can also provides lots of snuggles and pets. I currently work as a barista, but am looking to supplement that doing something I love; spending my time with dogs and cats! I enjoy pets of all sizes and ages, and will do my absolute best to provide the best possible care for your furry best friend. I have classes every day of the week around midday but can see your pet before in the morning or later in the afternoon and evening. I’m available weekends! I will respect your space and any wishes you have regarding safety precautions for your animal. I have experience using no pull leashes and muzzles, and understand the importance of taking caution with reactive dogs.

“Kathryn was outstanding. She was great with my pup and was extremely personable. I can’t wait to utilize her for any future dog sitting/walking needs!”

About: I grew up on my family's therapeutic horsemanship farm, helping care for and raise all sorts of critters. I've got experience with cats and dogs, as well as many other types of critters. Animal care has been a part of my daily routine since I was a very young kid. I've cared for all ages of animals- from the joys of brand new life, all the way to helping senior animals in their final chapters. Growing up on the farm we took care of a majority of the vet care ourselves, meaning I have knowledge on a deeper level than the average pet owner. I love critters of all kinds, and can't wait for the opportunity to get to know you and your pet! I work part time as a music teacher, and have a fairly flexible schedule. I am most available in the evenings and weekends, but it really depends on the day or week. Bottom line, communication is key- if your plans change just let me know and I will do my best to make it work! I prefer to care for animals in their home environment, as that's where they are most comfortable. When providing daytime care, I will make sure that your fur babies get what they need while you're away. Anything I can do to help you and your critters feel comfortable with my care, I am flexible!
