Dog Walking Dunkirk

About: My husband and I have both taken care of cats and dogs for most of our lives and grew up with a household of pets. We regularly watch both large and small dogs for extended family when they travel out of town. We would be happy to care for your dogs or cats and give them the same love and attention we give our own pets. Our family currently has a 6-year-old chihuahua mix (who hasn’t met a person or pup she doesn’t like). We have a fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to run and play. We’d love to help out with your pets! You can be sure they’ll get plenty of attention! I work from home, so I am available to stop over for dog walking during the day or just to check on and play with your dog or cat when you’re away. We are also available for dog boarding or daytime care at our house. I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood and one small dog that would be happy to keep your dog company. If your dog is accustomed to crating at night, I’m familiar with crate training as our dogs were trained in this way.

“Laura was fantastic. We did a meet and greet the day before she started, and Hambone took to her immediately. Laura was prompt and responsive. She walked our dog while she stayed at my elderly parents house, and they were thrilled to have her. She was friendly and warm. I would not hesitate to book walks with her in the future.”

About: I grew up on a farm, which is pretty much where my animal obsession began! I was surrounded by cows, pigs, horses, chickens, cats, dogs — basically if it had fur, feathers, or hooves, I probably helped take care of it. Growing up around so many different animals taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and how every animal has their own unique personality. Ever since then, animals have just naturally been a huge part of my life! I’m a full-time nurse with a flexible schedule, since I only work 3–4 days a week. That means I have plenty of time, energy, and attention to dedicate to your furry friends! Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I love making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I accommodate to every pets needs! I have crates, I do structured playtime and go on long walks to exert energy. I also have a friendly dogs who would love to keep your pet company.

“Raphael has a great run with Kelly. Got to see lots of pictures of his adventures. Kelly feed Raffi lunch for me as well this time. Followed all directions to a t! Highly recommended!!!”

About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and caring for them. I have experience with dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, cleaning up after them, and spending time playing and keeping them comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic or more shy and relaxed. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while their owner is away. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. With my background as a former dog groomer and long-term experience in the pet industry, I’m very comfortable caring for animals and enjoy making them feel safe, calm, and cared for. I care for pets by following their normal routine closely, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and comfort, and I’m experienced in handling different temperaments from my time working in boarding facilities and pet care. My goal is to make pets feel safe and cared for as if they were my own.

“Trinity has been wonderful with our kitty boy! She has consistently been walking him twice a week and she responds very quickly! Our pets love her!”

“Hi Terri, would like to cancel Clifford’s walk today. He is still upset about the rain and intermittent thunder after his staying in the kennel. We will see you tomorrow. Please give me your phone number when I see you next. Hope you will get this.”

“I am so happy we found Jennifer to walk our dog. She's a very caring and responsible person. She asked great questions when we met for introductions. She was on time and let me know of schedule changes and was flexible in rescheduling. Our dog loves her. I highly recommend Jennifer to care for your pets.”

About: I have pet-sitting experience for all kinds of animals. I've always loved pets and have a house full of chickens, rabbits, cats, a snake, birds, fish and dogs. I am a respectful and accommodating person, happy to give you regular updates, send pictures, and if you would like, collect your mail or water your plants. I am organized and I will ensure your home is the same upon your return. I'll be glad to walk your dog(s) in the morning and/or in the evening. We can gather these finer details of your pets via email. I have experience with all kinds of animals. From raising them to providing proper space for them as well as long term care. Chickens, Great Danes, reptiles, you name it. I've owned many animals all my life and I want to continue to add more experience by sharing my time with other pets. Caring for all kinds of animals brings me incredible joy! Ensuring they have fresh food and water, exercise, stimulation, and love is of the utmost importance. I am flexible and can work with you to suit the needs of your pets. I'm comfortable giving medications too.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, starting with in-home dog sitting as a teenager and continuing ever since. I have extensive experience with larger breeds, including German Shepherds and other high-energy dogs, and I’m very comfortable handling strong, active personalities. I’m also a Malinois owner, so I understand the level of structure, exercise, and attention that working breeds need. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just consistent, reliable care, I’m someone you can trust to treat them like my own. In addition to dogs, I’ve also provided in-home care for cats and am comfortable with a variety of temperaments and needs. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am a part-tome firefighter/paramedic and have a fairly flexible schedule. I typically end up having a lot of days free especially this summer. Reach out with your needs and we can see what we can work out! I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for your pets. As a firefighter/paramedic, I’m trained to stay calm, aware, and handle unexpected situations quickly and responsibly. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive to behavior changes and make sure your pet is always secure on walks and in the home. I’m experienced with large and high-energy dogs, so I’m confident handling strong or reactive dogs safely. Clear communication is important to me, and I’ll keep you updated so you always feel comfortable and informed while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals my whole life, including my own, friends, and family’s pets. Through high school and college I volunteered at a rescue that specialized in cats. Most recently I worked at a county animal shelter as an animal caretaker. Through the shelter I have had training in handling and care of almost every pet imaginable, as well as extra training in dog behavior. I also have training in foster of special needs / challenging behavior dogs, as well as neonate kitten care. I have experience giving many types of medications as well as iv fluids. I am currently solely focusing on providing pet care, so it is very easy for me to adjust my schedule to accommodate whatever needs your pet may have. I will care for your babies in whichever way you want. In my home, my dog kids are allowed inside or outside whenever they want and are not kenneled. But I will do my best to be consistent with whatever schedule they are used to. I also enjoy jogging if your pup would prefer a faster paced walk.

“Avery was terrific! She was so patient and gentle with my two older pups. Her communication was outstanding and my dogs loved her. Thank you!!”

About: I’ve been helping care for my families dogs since I was little, doing things such as cleaning up after their messes, giving them their meds, taking them on walks, and simply just spending time with them and giving them the interaction they need. I’m currently looking for a part time job aside from Rover, so I’ll have as much time as needed to come help care for your pets! Nearly anytime of the day, I can come over and walk your pets, feed them, clean up their areas, or just simply spend some time with them. I’m able to come over nearly anytime and watch your pets, feed them, clean them, or whatever you need! I can give them meds, crate them, walk them, etc.

About: My wife and I love animals. I grew up with cats and dogs all the time. Now that we finally have a big back yard and a nice home to enjoy, we want to share it with you and your pets! We watch our family's and friend's pets and really enjoy it! I work from home as a salesman. I have time while I'm on the phone and when I'm not on the computer. Plenty of time for potty breaks and petting and attention! When a pet needs to go out, i have two leash systems based on how long we're outside. With no fence they'll always be on a leash out of doors. While inside we've got mostly hardwood floors so accidents aren't too big of a deal if they happen. And a comfy pet friendly sofa and bed!

About: I love dogs and cats. I have had both since I was a child and they both seem to love being around me. I'm one of the kindest, most patient person you'll meet! I can feed them, walk them, play with them,etc. I currently work just nights on weekends at my job . I will be able to work around that to help you out! I am so ready to care for your animal! I have a leash already if needed, I can walk them or play with them in whatever area you desire. I am very flexible and easy going. I offer whatever services needed. Just ask!

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and I currently have two of my own...Tripp and Lilly! Dogs are such an important part of my life, and I’ll care for your pup like they’re one of my own. I always go above and beyond to make sure dogs feel safe, loved, exercised, and happy while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or extra attention, I’m committed to providing the best care possible. I also have a reliable vehicle and can transport dogs to local dog parks if they need more exercise than a walk can provide or if you don’t have a yard available. I work full-time in Madison Monday through Friday during standard business hours, so I may not be the best fit for services that require potty breaks or walks during those times. However, I do occasionally have flexibility in my schedule and may be able to accommodate certain requests, so please don't hesitate to ask if I can make it work. My evenings and weekends are typically very flexible and available. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I’d love to chat and see if I’d be a good fit for your pup! :)

“Dayna took care of Sammy for two walks this week and she was so sweet to him. She followed the instructions perfectly and even gave him extra love and carrots. You can tell she really cares about the fur babies as we do and we really appreciated her kindness! Thanks so much again!”

About: I am able to administer any medications that are needed and I have experience with both senior animals and extremely young animals! I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I am available anytime just message me! I don’t have much going on other than taking care of all my animals so I have plenty of time throughout the week. Safety and trust are my number one priorities so if their are specific things you need or want to be done to ensure your animals safety please don’t hesitate to let me know!

About: I've been pet-sitting for years for families from my home town and often take care of my family dog and cat when my parents travel, sometimes for weeks at a time. I love animals and can get along with all different cats and dogs! I love to be active and walk dogs as well. I work from home and I’m very flexible in scheduling — morning, lunchtime, evenings, and even evenings should all work with my schedule and availability. I can easily accommodate your dogs needs in walking, approach in the home, meeting spots, or whatever else would make you as the owner, and the dog most comfortable!
