Dog Walking Eau Claire

About: Hello I'm Elliot! I have grown up around animals my whole life- we've had a Pomeranian Chihuahua named Kirby for about 11 years now and I take care of him frequently when I'm back home from college and over the summer. I also have two guinea pigs of my own, and have had a hedgehog in the past so I am very well versed in smaller pets! I frequently took care of pets for my neighbors and friends when I was younger, including cats, fish, and many many dogs! I was also involved in the Lincoln Children's Zoo-crew volunteer program for 4 years, where I spent time learning how to take care of all kinds of animals. I currently co parents a cat with my partner, and have always had a special place in my heart for cats! I also enjoy volunteering at the ECCHA in my free time with their cats. I am currently located in Eau Claire, WI for all your pet care needs! As of right now I have availability on most Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends unless otherwise indicated on my calendar. I’m available for drop in, walks, and even house sitting! I am unable to bring other pets into my home because I do have pets of my own and due to tenant restrictions, however, I am more than happy to visit your furry friends in your home or take them on walks outside the house! I prioritize any instructions you give me and want to make sure they feel at home no matter where they are.

About: I grew up around dogs of all sizes in my hometown of Menomonee Falls, and caring for them has always been something I love! My siblings have dogs, including Labs, Poodles, and mixed breeds, and I enjoy spending time with all of them. I also have experience dog-sitting for friends and family while they were away on weekend getaways or vacations lasting several weeks. Most of the dogs I’ve cared for have been well-trained adults, but I’m also comfortable caring for puppies and helping meet their needs. I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable dog lover who would love to give your furry friend plenty of attention and care! I’d love to help with walks during the day while you’re at work! I’m a college student, so I usually have a flexible schedule and can often fit in pet walks during lunch breaks, evenings, or mornings when my classes allow. I also have a pretty open schedule on the weekends! I’m currently training for a marathon, but outside of my runs, I’d love to spend my extra time caring for pets and making sure they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise. I’d be happy to help whenever my schedule works for you and your pets! Since I live in university housing, I’m unable to provide boarding, but I’d love to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, and caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home! I’ve been a Resident Assistant for four years, which has helped me develop strong responsibility, reliability, and trustworthiness. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands while you’re away. I live a healthy, active lifestyle through running and weightlifting, and I’m currently training for a marathon! Staying active helps me keep up with energetic pets and makes going on walks an activity I genuinely enjoy. I’ll always keep a close eye on your pet, follow your instructions and household guidelines, and make sure they receive the care, attention, and love they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind so you can enjoy your well-deserved time away, knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for!

About: I’ve had the joy of caring for many animals over the years, and taking care of them has always come naturally to me. I’m comfortable giving medications, whether that means hiding a pill in a little cheese or a piece of hot dog, and I also have experience giving insulin injections to a dog. More than anything, I simply love animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and special needs. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their family is away. I would treat your pet with the same patience, kindness, and affection that I give my own. At the end of the day, I just want to help animals enjoy their lives and make sure their owners can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in loving hands. ❤️🐾 Pet sitting fits wonderfully into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have a dog of my own who is very much part of our family, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. ❤️ With my husband going through cancer treatment, Rover also gives me a chance to get out of the house, do something I genuinely enjoy, and share some extra love with other people’s pets. It makes me happy knowing I can help someone while giving their furry family member the attention, companionship, and love they deserve. 🐾❤️ I am very reliable and trustworthy. I will take good care of your animal as if it was my own. That’s just the way I feel and I hope that I could give you the greatest experience, taking care of your animal.

“We are new to Rover and we were very nervous about leaving our baby with someone new. Emma was so sweet, she came over to do a meet and greet. She put our minds at ease with her friendly and calm personality. She did an excellent job communicating with us and we loved the updates and pictures while we were away. We will definitely be using her again.”

About: Hello, my name is Taryn. I’ve had plenty of experience taking care of dogs as I have had dogs my whole life. Since middle school, I have been pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Not only have I had pet sitting experience with dogs, I have taken care of other animals as well. Those animals range from cats, bunnies, fish, and even chickens ! I will be able to provide you and your pets with the services you need! I just graduated from UW-Stout and am currently living in Eau Claire. I work at my main job on weekdays (in Menomonie). My hours vary, but they are usually only 7 hour shifts or less. I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays unless I already have another gig booked. I am able to provide your pet with whatever service they need, ranging from making sure they have enough food and water to taking them on walks and providing them with entertainment! I am available for dog walking and drop-ins before 5pm on Mondays, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and after 5pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. As for house-sitting, I am available most days as long as your pet is okay with being alone for a few hours! I attend in-person classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, but would have an hour or two to come back to the house to check in! I currently do not offer doggy day care in my own home, but I will be able to keep your dogs company at their respective homes. I can walk them, feed them, play with them, keep them company, and more!

“Tori was able to come on super short notice. She was very friendly and Winchester loved her. She handled him no problem. I’m so happy with Tori, would definitely recommend. 🐾”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and honestly can’t remember a time when I wasn’t surrounded by pets. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I regularly dog sit for friends and family, and I genuinely love it. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I show up with patience, energy, and a lot of love. I take pet care seriously, but I also truly enjoy it. Being around animals is my happy place. I probably like them more than humans, but I’ll let your pet be the judge of that. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I’m typically home and have a flexible schedule. I’m usually out for a couple hours most days, but otherwise I’m around and able to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. On weekends I’m also fairly flexible and either at home or doing low-key activities, so I can adjust easily to the needs of each pet. I enjoy making pet care a consistent part of my routine and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I provide calm, attentive care based on each pet’s needs and comfort level. In my home, I keep things very relaxed with lots of supervision, cuddle time, potty breaks, playtime, and regular outdoor walks on a leash. I also make sure pets are fed on schedule and always have fresh water. In a client’s home, I prefer to focus on walks and potty breaks or quick check-ins depending on what’s needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking closely to their normal routine.

About: Lifelong personal experience caring for dogs, cats, and fish with a variety of personalities and temperaments. Beyond caring for my own pets, I have provided in-home pet care and house-sitting for others. I’m adaptable, attentive to detail, and committed to following each pet’s unique routine and care instructions. I’m a full-time college student with classes from about 9 AM to 3 PM, but I have hours between classes that give me plenty of flexibility for pet care. After 3 p.m., I am usually free and can devote a lot of time to caring for pets. I can work walks, playing, feeding, and check-ins into my class schedule, and I have greater flexibility in the evenings and on weekends. I take care of pets in their own homes by maintaining as comfortable and regular a routine as I can. I adhere to all of the owner's directions, including those regarding playtime, medicine, walks, feeding schedules, and any special needs. Along with keeping their house tidy and safe, I also make sure pets have lots of attention, exercise, and company. While their owner is away, I want every pet to feel secure, at ease, and well-cared for.

About: Hey there! I am an animal lover to the core. Let me be your pet's new best friend while you are away! I recently moved back to the Midwest to be closer to family, about two years ago. I was traveling constantly for work, but am now full time work from home. When I lived in another state for work, I did pet care as a part time job with private clients weekly. I grew to absolutely love it and would love to get established back in Wisconsin. I grew up with dogs, cats, and cows my entire life - being raised on a farm. I am the type of person who can’t stop without petting a dog whenever I see one! Providing companionship to your pet is my favorite thing to do. We can go on walks, eat food, and watch the latest Hulu show together! Your fur baby is welcome to sleep with me, on the floor, or in any bed or crate you bring. My two rescue cats absolutely LOVE other animals, so there is no worry there. They are so curious and eventually become besties! Since I am work from home full time now, so I am extremely flexible and they will have constant attention. I do live in an apartment, BUT, I am right next to the walking trail in River Prairie (the loop). I would be more than happy to go on as many walks as needed, and enjoy some sunshine with your fur baby! So do not worry, they can be outside as much or little as you’d like. I am open to care of all animals, all sizes, and all ages. If wanted, I visit my family farm quite often where we have extensive yard and land to run on. It is 100% an option for me to take your pet there if you want them to have some extra smells, especially if they stay long term with me. I’m extremely flexible and want you to not have to worry! While I traveled full time for work in the past, constant updates on my animals back home was crucial to me. I will provide as much or little communication you’d like. I’m here to meet you and your pet where you’d like and keep being away from them stress free. I promise they are in such caring hands! I work from home most days and go on daily walks myself! I would love to have a companion along with me to help make my place less lonely! During the weekends I can give even extra attention! I have access to the loop walk near River Prairie where i can take your pet for a potty break or for a walk! Depending how far they like to go - I can do the full three miles with them, or cut it shorter! I will be here with them to provide food, water, and care. Your pet will be my number 1 priority while I am with them!

About: We are a family that loves animals! The kids are very hands-on with our animals including feeding and walking. Our two dogs love other dogs and are very social. We have 20 acres for the animals to take walks and get energy out. My husband and I are both teachers so we have two different schedules depending on the time of year. In the summer, we are often home and are often outside with our pets. During the school year, we are gone from 7-4 for work. We have 20 acres of land that we like to take walks on including trails through the woods. We take our own dogs for walks every morning and often in the afternoon. You will often find us outside with our animals doing chores, playing, or hanging out.

“Super friendly and our dog loves her. Rylea will be back for more!”

About: Hi! My name is Grace, and I had the honor of being a proud pet owner for nearly 20 years. I had the opportunity to care for my dog, Marley, for 13 beautiful years, and my cat, Tigger, for almost 20! Growing up with pets taught me respect, responsibility, and safety around animals from a young age, and has allowed me to take part in many other pet caring opportunities since then! I give my time to all pets in my care, young or old, and it is always a fun time, every time! I have loved animals my entire life, and I will treat your pet as my own, along with giving them the best experience I would want my own pet to be given! I am currently available on select weekends, and can also fit time in during the week in the evenings, whether it be a walk, feeding, or even bath-rooming. I experience housesitting for others between 2-14 days at a time. I am a teacher during the day and a dance coach in the evenings, and due to this schedule, I am unavailable for drop-in’s between 7am-5:30pm. I am very patient when it comes to taking care of pets, and am attentive to their individual needs. I give appropriate reinforcement, along with discipline when needed. I am unable to care for pets in my own home at this time, but am more than willing to care in your own home, if needed!

“Kara is a wonderful dog walker! My girls love seeing her and the walks she's takes them on.”
