Dog Walkers in Elm Grove, WI

“Skylab walked our dog 3 days in a row. Shawnee loved going with her and she was very dependable. We were so thankful for her help. We would highly recommend her.”

About: After graduating from Harvard, I moved from the Northeast to Wisconsin to train for speed skating. I grew up as a critter kid: my dad was a veterinarian and my mom worked in science museums, so I was raised around all sorts of animals, from birds, axolotls, and geckos to furry dog and cat companions. Since my move, I have been "dog-lonely" and am looking to show your animals some love. My family has always had huskies, so I am comfortable around big, goofy, energetic, and sometimes stubborn dogs. I love taking dogs for walks, but even more so, running with them if they are able. As a professional photographer, I also offer pet photography so you can keep permanent memories of your scaley, feathered, and furry family members. I am a speed skater, so my days consist of morning and evening workouts. I'm available during the day (10am-3pm) and overnight (after 7pm) to take care of your pets. I will always ask for a meet and greet before caring for your pets. My pet care will occur in your home and neighborhood. For walks, I will only take one household's dogs for a walk at a time. I can follow detailed instructions to a T and will maintain your animal's routines while you're away. I can be counted on in an emergency and know what a vet emergency looks like, and you can expect clear and timely communication from me around the care and health of your animals.

About: What truly sets me apart from other sitters is the level of love, patience, and personal experience I bring to every pet I care for. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. I know firsthand how important reliable, attentive, and compassionate care is — because that’s exactly what I want for my own pets. I have experience working with puppies, including basic training reinforcement like potty training, crate training, leash manners, and positive behavior encouragement. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, mobility support, or just a little extra patience and gentleness. Beyond the basics, I pay attention to the small details — each pet’s personality, routines, comfort needs, and quirks. Whether it’s energetic playtime, structured walks, cuddle sessions, or calm companionship, I tailor my care to what makes your pet feel safe and happy. To me, this isn’t just pet sitting — it’s caring for a member of your family. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with genuine love, responsibility, and respect. Pet care is naturally built into my daily and weekly routine because I already structure my day around my own pets’ needs. Every morning and evening include scheduled walks and potty breaks to keep dogs active, comfortable, and on a consistent routine. I provide morning and evening feedings, with fresh water available at all times throughout the day. In addition to scheduled breaks, I let dogs out as needed — paying close attention to their cues to make sure they’re comfortable and never waiting too long. Because caring for animals is already part of my everyday life, adding another pet into my routine feels seamless. I prioritize consistency, supervision, exercise, and affection, making sure each pet feels secure and well cared for from morning to night. My care always depends on the service requested, but my priority is the same in every setting: safety, consistency, and lots of love. In My Home: When pets stay with me, they become part of my daily routine. I maintain structured morning and evening walks, regular potty breaks throughout the day, scheduled feedings, and constant access to fresh water. I create a calm, clean, and pet-safe environment where they can relax comfortably. I follow the owner’s instructions closely — whether that’s crate training, reinforcing puppy training, administering medication, or providing extra support for senior dogs. I also make sure they receive plenty of playtime, affection, and supervision so they feel secure and at home. In My Client’s Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, potty breaks, medication instructions, and any household guidelines exactly as requested. I respect your home and keep everything clean and organized. Most importantly, I make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment while you’re away. No matter the location, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, attention to detail, and genuine love. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously.

About: I love dogs and animals - they really are the best! I have owned three for many years, raising two from being puppies, and addressing challenging behavior with an older doggo, in addition to fostering multiple rescue dogs. I recently moved to WI, and my pets stayed home with my partner for now, and miss my furry companions and want to provide love and care for yours while I’m here! I am happy to work with you on what’s best, whether that is house sitting, boarding, or simply letting your animals out on walks or to go potty. Let’s chat! I currently work from home and have a remote job, so can provide your dog with any needs or attention that makes sense based on their schedule. I have some in-person meetings that occur throughout the week, and am generally around on the weekends regularly. If planning on boarding or daycare, I now live in a home with a nice backyard. I can easily crate, take out for potty breaks, etc. I am also mindful of dog reactivity regardless of my own or neighbor’s dogs.

“Honestly, he is the best dog walker! Absolutely incredible! Amazing at communication! He’s extremely professional and caring”

About: Hi! My name is Maya, and I have always had a huge love for animals of all kinds. I have experience caring for my own two small dogs, ages 14 and 6, so I understand the patience, attention, and love pets need in every stage of life. Along with dogs, I’ve also owned and cared for small animals such as hamsters. I also have experience working in the stables at camps, where I helped care for around 40 horses, goats, and other animals roaming the property, including dogs. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how important it is to make animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them lots of attention and companionship! My schedule is fairly flexible this summer! However, I am unavailable June 9–22. On weekdays, I work from 8:30 AM–12:30 PM, but I am available before and after those hours. A couple times a week, I also teach swim lessons for short 3–4 hour shifts. I will always communicate clearly about availability and make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and time throughout the day. Creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your pets is my top priority. I will follow all general safety practices, as well as any additional instructions or routines provided by each family to ensure their pets feel secure and cared for. I understand every pet has different needs, personalities, and boundaries, and I will always treat them with patience, attention, and care as if they were my own.

About: Hi, my name is Abby! I am looking for a flexible summer job before I start full-time as an auditor in the fall, and I thought animal care would be a good match! I have had many pets throughout my life. There was always at least one dog and one cat at a time, usually many more. I have a deep, genuine care for all animals, and love to give them the love and attention they deserve! This summer I am studying for my CPA license! I have some vacations sprinkled in for the summer as well, but beside those and studying for a few hours a day, I will have plenty of time to take care of and play with your pets! I am available Mon-Fri, 8am-4pm, weekends and hourly exceptions available upon request! My complex unfortunately does not allow pets, so the caretaking would be happening in your home or neighborhood. I will be respectful of your house rules and rules for your pet. I will only be in your home when necessary. I will only use your pet's toys and harnesses as to not cross-contaminate with other pets. I will do my best to accommodate any other request as well.

About: I've taken care of numerous dogs since a young age. My goal is to make sure your pet gets the exercise and attention they deserve. Looking forward to working with you! I have grown up with a variety of animals all my life. I have one dog right now and have grown up taking care of cats and dogs. I have also had a frog before! Through this I have gained experience taking care of all animals and their needs. I have also been trusted by family and friends to take care of their pets when they are on vacation or an emergency comes up. I am a current medical student at the Medical College of Wisconsin in the last year of school. I currently have a very flexible schedule that can best fit the needs of your pet. I am always focused on the animal I am taking care of to ensure their safety. When pet sitting in someones home I ensure you that your home will be just as clean as you left it! Schedule is completely open to fit you and your pets needs. Whether it be sitting for a night, walks during the day, or for a couple hours. I have cared for a variety of dog breeds and have had zero issues with any. Some breeds I have worked with: Labs, Pit Bulls, Grey Hound, German Shepherd, Australian Sheperd, Chihuahua, Great Dane, Sheep Doodle, German Shorthair Pointer, Husky, Bernese Mountain dog and more! I have a very flexible schedule and am always willing to accomodate. Please feel free to reach out for any dog walking, stop-in, or live-in dogsitting needs! Depending on your specific needs, I am more than capable of working with whatever safety measures you require, including but not limited to fences, collars, crates, etc.
