Dog Walkers in Downing, WI

About: I've been an animal lover my whole life, and that love just seems to keep growing the older I get. I've had a variety of resident pets over the years, including hamsters, birds, chinchillas, cats and dogs. I've been fostering through an animal rescue for 8 years and have cared for up to 20 animals at once, in my home. I started whelping a year and a half ago so I have extensive experience with dogs of all ages, newborn to senior. I am comfortable with all animals and look forward to meeting your beloved family member(s)! I currently work part time at an animal sanctuary for special needs cats and dogs. My schedule is flexible on most days and we can work something out on the days I am at work I have a farm with a large fenced in yard and 2 very friendly dogs that can keep yours company. I also have a chihuahua who absolutely loves people, but takes a little bit to warm up to a new furry face. I also have 2 super laid back cats who will observe from a distance. I have a dedicated puppy room that your dog can stay in; I can also crate them if needed or more comfortable for them or can let them hang with the family as much as they'd like to. We do let our animals on furniture but will adhere to any "rules" you have in place for your pet. We've had many animals come through our home on a temporary basis and do whatever we can to ensure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: Hello, My pet skills and years of experience run deep and I look forward to best serving you and your family with the highest level of animal care. I currently have one dog and one cat in my own family, a 5-month old Golden Retriever named “Hank” and a 1-year old cat named “Peaches”! I have had multiple dogs (and cats) of different breeds throughout my life, and have a vast amount of experience in dog socialization and training. I am unique in the aspect that I am flexible with every animal and their needs. My goal is to leave you feeling confident, comfortable, and worry free while trusting your pet with me - knowing that I will always care for him/her like my own. I took a break from Rover for a bit as my husband and I just relocated to WI. I am excited to continue serving the community and building up my clientele in a new area. I have flexible days working from home for drop in’s and house sitting , with any needed bathroom breaks, mentally engaging play, exercise sessions, and walking. I’m typically available during the week upon request and on weekends/holidays. My biggest commitment and the reason I have repeated satisfied clients is because I am very attentive and detail-oriented to every animal I have the pleasure of working with. I promise that all of my clients will feel confident leaving their animals with me, knowing that I care for them like they are one of my own. I am adaptive to unique circumstances and look forward to working with you on the individual and specialized care of your dog/cat. I have two of my own pets and understand the importance of finding someone you trust with these family members. All special care and special needs animals are open for discussion as well, as I try my absolute hardest to best serve every dog/cat in need of extra care. I am very flexible, so please reach out with any needs. I look forward to meeting you!

About: I've grown up with dogs in the household and currently have 2 in the house. I have fostered dogs, including puppies in the past, all of which were adopted out. I have been put in charge to watch other families and friends dogs while they are away. I do work 2 other jobs but have free time that I would love to spend with animals. This job is something that would bring me joy and help me not miss my dogs at home when I am not living there. I live on a quiet street with a nice backyard and a fence on both sides of the house to separate us from the neighbors.

About: Most of my pet care experience comes from pet sitting dogs for my neighbors, family, and friends. I also have personal experience due to living with 3 dogs of my own, and a cat. I have experience with senior dogs that have difficulty moving and are on a specific diet. I currently work part-time and as a student! Due to this, my schedule is incredibly flexible and open! Most weekday evenings, weekends, I am available! I know the importance of routine, safety, and trust when it comes to our pets. This is why I make sure to follow your guidelines to the T so that your pet is as comfortable as possible.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, I’ve worked with seniors and puppies and everything in between! I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare and have done lots of grooming for both cats and dogs! I am available night and day! I am easy to reach and am ready to come at any time! I am a stay at home cat mom! I have 2 cats of my own, I give them the best nutrition and brain stimulation! I am constantly researching the best for both cats and dogs!

About: My partner and I tag team animal sitting which makes a great pair for the price of one! We both have had animals since we were born and have grown up taking care of dogs and cats alike. My partner and I are college students who work together on Rover so that our schedules allow someone to be with your animals consistently! We also own 2 dogs who we adore :) We will care for your pets in their home by providing personalized attention and activities, including visits to local dog parks for exercise and socialization.

“Marissa was so great! She took my dog on a last minute walk and left a detailed note and some pretty pictures of her!”

About: One of my favorite things about working with dogs is that every dog has a different personality. I take the time to learn what makes each one comfortable and happy, and I adjust my care to fit their needs. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, playful, or laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I enjoy staying active, so dog walks and visits are something I genuinely look forward to. I make it a priority to be dependable, communicate with owners, and ensure pets receive the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions and routine to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I take the time to build trust with each pet, pay attention to their individual needs, and provide plenty of care, attention, and updates while you’re away.

“I needed someone to give my pup exercise. Olivia was great. She took him on daily walks, at exactly the times we had arranged, and sent me photos, so I could see he was being well cared for. I would definitely recommend Olivia.”

About: I have worked for roughly two years dog sitting for friends and family. Typically these have been in my own home - occasionally overnight. I have a fenced in back yard for my 3 dogs & 2 cats so I have experience with both :) I have complete availability currently, so my dog at home gets quite a lot of walks and park time. If possible, i also try to socialize him with people each day. Typically I take my dog to the dog park in the evening with a long walk in the morning. This works best for my dogs energy levels, but each dog is different. I am also trying to socialize my dog in public as he is a bit scared of humans so we try to hit some breweries here and there.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 10 years old. Family, neighbors, and friends have always trusted me to do so. They bring extra happiness to my every day life! I have always said, we don’t deserve animals. I have a special place in my heart for them! I am looking to do this as an extra source of income to help provide for my family. This sounds like a great opportunity for me to make some income while doing something I love! I am flexible. I have two dogs, and two cats of my own! One is a border collie ( 5 years old) who loves to herd the cats around the house and stare at them. The other is a black lab (1.5 years old) who is a big teddy bear and doesn’t know his own size but, is a gentle giant. The two cats mind their own business but, come out for cuddles every so often. They definitely love their treats! We unfortunately do not have a fenced in yard but, we have dog leads that our dogs are able to be let out on. We also let them run free when we are out there with them. They love tossing the ball around and chasing after it! Having a friendly/safe neighborhood has made it very enjoyable for walks as well. Our home has hardwood floor throughout the main living areas so, it is easy for clean up if needed! We are animal friendly 🥰🐾

About: Dogs, cats and birds have always been a part of my life. As a child, we even had a pet crow named Butch! I work from home so your fur or feather baby won’t be left alone. My last two dogs passed away after months of battling cancer. My siberian husky had nasal cancer and my papillion had lymphoma. I have experience providing palliative care for dogs that are not feeling well and probably need extra love and attention. Currently, my resident dog is a foster failure named Peppy. Occasionally, I will have a foster dog in addition to my resident dog. I would disclose that information before booking. I currently work from home and my schedule is very flexible. After work, I walk my dog either around the neighborhood or we go to Red Cedar trail or to a park in town. I can easily crate your dog if you request it but it’s ok if he/she sleeps wherever. My dog freaks out in a crate (he was a breeder release) so he sleeps wherever he chooses. He is very gentle and has no teeth so I will not care for any aggressive dog.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember—everything from energetic Labs to laid-back Basset Hounds, plus a rescue puppy that I personally helped train and grow into a well-behaved companion. That hands-on experience has taught me how to understand different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. From basic training and leash manners to patience with shy or stubborn pups, I’ve learned that every dog is unique and deserves personalized attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy building trust and creating a positive, fun experience for them every time we’re together. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long adventure walk, or just some extra love while you’re busy, I treat every walk like it matters—because it does. I tailor each visit to your dog’s personality, pace, and needs, making sure they feel safe, stimulated, and happy every step of the way. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, responsible hands. From playful pups to senior sweethearts, I’m experienced, attentive, and ready to keep tails wagging. Full time job but available in the evenings and weekends to take care of your furry friends, whether that’s a potty break or a walk on my way home from work, or hanging out all weekend! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or any specific habits your pet is used to. During visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, not just the basics. I keep their environment clean, refresh water bowls, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable before I leave. I’m also mindful of your home, treating it with respect and keeping everything just as I found it.

“Thank you for being able to take Mia and Gwen out last minute. Sent us pictures of tur dogs out and did a great job. We will use again.”

About: I've taken care of dogs of various breeds, sizes and ages for family, friends, and now people on Rover. I must say, I've met some pretty awesome dogs and people through Rover. I am retired, but clean a couple houses and a furniture store on a part-time basis. The longest I'm away is typically 4 to 5 hours on cleaning days. I don't have a dog of my own at this time. My Ella, sadly crossed the rainbow bridge in December of 2021. Crazy how your life totally changes when they are gone. I miss all my dogs more than anything and will some day have another dog or two. In the meantime, I get my dog fix by taking care of other people's dogs. I will provide exercise and companionship for your dog(s) as if they were my own. I know how hard it is to leave them when you want some time away. I will do my best to keep them on the schedule and routine they are used to.

About: I have taken care of dogs all my life as they are a huge part of so many lives! I love all types, ages, and breeds. I am available during evenings and weekends. Throughout the summer I will be available a lot more as I am a teacher. I am more than willing to work with your schedule! I have a lovable English Bulldog that loves to roam around in our yard at the end of a dead end road. We have a crate available.

About: I have a lot of experience with animals since I was 10 when I started volunteering my time at an animal rescue. I have experience from puppies all the way to senior dogs! My days are free Monday-Sunday 24/7. I do same day bookings or bookings in advance whenever you would need. I can come let the animals out for potty breaks or I can come stay with them for a longer amount of time. I do not offer care inside of my home due to my two cats who are not dog friendly. But I have no problem coming to your home and providing my services whenever needed.

About: My mother breeds miniature Australian shepherds and I used to work with her for 10 years taking care of newborn, teenage, and adult dogs. I have done everything from training, bathing, giving medications, and plenty of animal loving! We would board all types of dogs big to small too. I grew up with many dogs in my household and know first hand how our animals are our children and how to care and make them feel so very loved. I am currently a flight attendant and my schedule varies month to month. The days that I am home I will be able and can send you my schedule a month in advance. I have a spacious apartment with a dog park attached as well as a wonderful walking trail to get your furry loved one the exercise they need. I do have a cat that keeps to himself but loves dogs. If you’re dog just wants the company I do allow dogs on my couch and bed. Have plenty of toys, water and food dish, and pee pee pads just in case.

About: I have about 8 years of experience helping high-end breeders breed and raise puppies, I’ve trained my own dogs, cats, and horses and have also had bunnies and chickens in the past. I love animals! You get the quality for what you pay! I am currently in college, so I have plenty of time to take dogs on walks, feed, train and exercise them! I’m always willing to help! I will always make sure to keep your pet as safe and comforted as possible. If they are happy and safe then I am happy!

About: I've taken care of several different breeds of dogs, cats, and rabbits. I also have experience in caring for horses. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I am currently in between jobs and need a job from June 1st to June 30th. I am free to pet sit Sunday through Saturday during the day. I live in a pet friendly apartment and have one friendly dog of my own to keep your pet company. I do walks three times a day, feed twice a day, and keep water fresh and clean all day. I can brush and bathe any pet.
