Dog Walkers in Freedom, WI

“Josh and my dog Jaxon got along great from the start. This was my first time having someone other than family take care of him so I was nervous but his daily Rover cards with the description of the day and pictures are awesome and makes my day away from my dog better. Jaxon gets so excited when he comes over now because he loves going on walks with him and the treats he gives him!”

“Bango seems to really enjoy his walks with Travis! I LOVE the pictures I get of Bango that Travis takes during the walks. Travis is very accommodating for whatever you need!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages since I was in elementary school. I have had family dogs all my life and now I have 2 dogs of my own. I raised one as a puppy and then adopted his brother about 2 years later. Raising my dogs has educated me in all the needs a dog possibly needs from food/water to stimulation to exercise. I’m around many weekends so I have a lot of flexibility and open time to drop in and take care of your dog! Whether it’s taking them for longs walks or just hanging out and keeping them company. If my dogs could talk they would probably tell you they are the kings of the house. The dogs in my home are treated like humans. Nothing but the best. They are allowed on furniture, beds, toys are out all day long. Having very high energy dogs of my own, I often go on many walks and hikes all around the area.

About: I’ve been helping take care of dogs since I was 6 years old. My friends and family know to call me first when they need someone to help with their fur babies because I am reliable and I take my job seriously. My primary job, I work from home so I’m home all day with my dog. We take daily walks (weather permitting) and spend a lot of time in the yard playing. I revolve my life around the needs of my kids (teenage boys 18 and 16) and my dog, Molly. I go outside for every potty break so the dogs are never unattended. I pay attention to the dogs ways of telling me they need to go outside.

“Leslie-Ann is great with my dog! She reads his cues so well. On top of that she is responsive and flexible to work with, depending on what we need help with…walks, play, drop in care, etc. So communicative and positive to be around.”

About: Beyond taking care of my family dogs since I was a child, I started dog and cat sitting for neighbors around the age of 14. I currently have one dog of my own, he is my whole world. I worked at a doggy daycare for two years and helped train dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've worked with dogs with behavioral issues and medical needs. I am a teacher so my summer is wide open, and I would love to fill some of that time taking care of your pet. During the school year I also have some weekend availability. I have a fenced in yard and a house that is basically a dog paradise. With it just being me and my dog I am able to guarantee a safe, dog-focused care experience. If your dog is friendly with other dogs we can set up a meeting for your dog and mine, I usually recommend a short walk in a neutral location like a local park, and once we know the dogs vibe with each other they can come over for play dates or I can take them on buddy walks! Even if your dog isn't dog friendly I am happy to do solo walks or shorter daycare days where my dog will not be present. With my professional experience working with dogs I can confidently say that I have seen it all. I am comfortable working with dogs of any size and any temperament so you can rest easy knowing your pup is in a safe, loving environment.

About: My husband, Mike, and I are a team. As dedicated pet parents ourselves, we understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your "babies" are in excellent hands while you're away. Mike brings valuable professional experience from working in a Wisconsin pet store, giving him a deep understanding of animal needs and behaviors. Teri's professional background includes performing vacation home checks for the Neenah and Menasha Police Departments, ensuring your home's security is in expert hands. Mike and I have a lot of availability,since we both have flexible work from home schedules. If you are in need of a week long stay, or just a short "check in," we are happy to help. We care for pets in our clients homes only. We have our own pets in our home, and we would not want to upset that balance. In most cases, your pets would be most comfortable in the home that they know and love anyway. We will follow your detailed instructions for pet care to ensure that your pets maintain a sense of normalcy. And of course, we will send you fun updates via text or email (if you want us to). Your peace of mind is important to us.

About: I currently have one dog at home, and he loves to have friends during the day. He is an Aussie-doodle, and is very playful. He is almost 6 years old. I am excited to offer care for other pets in my home. Your pet will be loved just as much as Tracker while they are with me. I am patient with all animals and have been around them my entire life. I am able to take care of puppies as well as senior dogs as well. I have had a lot of practice with giving medications for dogs. I will ensure that your animals needs are met anytime they are within my home. I am more than happy to send updates and pictures as often as you would like so you know how they are adjusting and doing. I work from home and I am able to watch and play with animals during the day and after work. Our yard is fenced in and has a large backyard to play in. I have three girls that I bring to school from 715-8am and then pick them up from 230-330. On the weekends I am available the entire day as I do not work weekends. I have a large fenced in yard. Anytime the animals are outside they gate will be shut. I will also endure any small animals are on a leash as they are outside so they are watched after. During the day, the animals will be within eye sight as I work upstairs.

About: I had my own dog who lived to be 18! He required senior citizen care when he got old, I’ve handled and dealt with elderly dogs. I’ve taken care of neighbors, family’s, & friends dogs my entire life, filling the soft spot we all have in our heart for pups! I work as a nurse so on my days off I love to spend time outside with some furry friends! They provide a good stress relief for the chaotic days. I will respect your home and your dogs personal space! I will do whatever you ask of me to do, making the dog feel safe at home with a new person around!

“Deahndra is amazing with our 3 dogs, thats right, 3 dogs! She’s been walking then since May and they absolutely love her. She’s always there when we need her, almost as if she’s on call. My 3 dogs not only enjoy the walks but I’ve seen improvements on how well they walk for me- it’s a win win! My absolute favorite is that Deahndra takes pictures of my fur babies while I’m at work. Deahndra is always keeping me in the loop with what’s going on and how much fun they’re having(without me :( )”

About: I've spent my entire life having animals and loved them for my entire life. I've had cats my entire life, and often this is not lent itself well to me also owning a dog. We currently own three cats one 12 year old lady, and two 2 year old brothers. When I was young I would walk the neighbor's dog just so I could get some dog time in. In college and after college I had several roommates who had dogs I lived with, who I would also help care for either just for fun or while they were gone. I have also taken care of friends dogs while they are out of town on vacation. I have experience with cats from 6 weeks old all the way up to end of life. I have experience in giving cats medication, special diets, special instructions and any other quirks your cat may have. I'm experienced in walking dogs, playing with dogs, feeding dogs (including special diets) and while I love larger dogs, I currently am unable to care for them due to a medical condition and it only able to care for a small dogs. I'm currently taking a break from my career and have very flexible availability, both during the week and on the weekends. I do request 24 hours notice. I will take care of your pets with the instructions you leave me with. I will rely on you as the pet parent to make all major decisions and follow your rules as best as possible. I am great with communication and will regularly communicate with you to show you how your pets are doing while you're out of town and ask any questions that arise while you're gone.

About: I have always had a dog in the house since I can remember and now have 2 loveable dogs that we walk often. Sadie is 11 years-old and Cooper is 4 years-old and they are the best of friends! My son asked for this to be his first job because he loves dogs so much. He has been walking ours for 1 year now and was always helping us with them since he was little. My 7 year-old daughter loves dogs and would be coming to unless you ask for no kids :) They both have been scooping up poop and walking our dogs for awhile now. We are all very responsible, empathetic, trustworthy, respectable caring people. we would love to help take care of your dog(s) while you are away :) I am a stay-at-home mom and homeschool my 2 kids, so we have a lot of flexibility in our schedule to help meet your dog needs. My son and I will only be offering dog walking and any other dog care needs you may need in your home. We do not do overnight sitting, but we would love to visit your dogs and love on them and give them lots of attention while we are there.

About: Hi, I’m Melissa! What sets me apart is my deep lifelong passion for animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs and cats from their very first days all the way through their golden years. On top of that, we’ve had horses for over 20 years and many outdoor cats too! I’m very comfortable giving medications, shots, and, of course, providing lots of love and attention. Taking care of pets isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. Right now, I have a super flexible schedule since I’m not working outside the home, which means I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I’m available anytime and happy to fit into your pet’s normal routine. I live on a 10 1/2-acre property, so there’s plenty of safe space for dogs to run, explore, and just be themselves. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time to take care of and play with your pups or cats. I’m available anytime Monday through Friday. I have a 10 1/2 acre property with plenty of room for animals to run and get their energy out. I have a long leash and I also have crates.

About: I have about 10 years of experience with dogs and cats and grew up having aquarium pets like lizards and frogs. I currently have a 1 year old Great Dane mix fur baby (so the big babies don’t scare me) and 2 tabby cats. Both cats brought to me by the cat distribution system 😌 I promise to love on and treat your fur babies as if they are my own. I expect that for my own from a pet sitter. I specialize in walks (can train if interested), day check ins and playtime, overnight cares/feeding, and out of town care. If you’re not sure, just ask, and if I can’t I might know someone who can! I have a very flexible schedule and am available 7 days a week. It really depends on the service you need. Occasionally I will take a vacation as well. I like to meet all pets beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. If the energy is off it won’t work. I want you and your pet to be comfortable with me. It also gives me a chance to see how you engage with your pet to keep that in alignment as well. If it’s a good feel for all, any rules, routines, emergency contact information, needs, don’ts/dos, etc. can be discussed and the initial meet. I want you to feel comfortable about your pet’s care so you can enjoy your workday or vacation without worry. I will send pictures and updates, something I really appreciate with my sitters as well!

About: I am very proud to be a "fear free handler". That's a big thing for me, if an animal is uncomfortable, I am 100% uncomfortable along with them.. learning their little quirks and finding ways to do things in the best way possible for that specific animal is what I do and I absolutely love doing it. I promise your animal will be cared for deeply while in my care. My passion has always been working with animals, providing them with the care and respect they deserve and I have extensive experience in the field. I’ve worked in horse barns, animal shelters, and dog boarding facilities, and I’m skilled in administering all types of medications, including insulin. Whether it’s feral cats or reactive dogs, I have the patience and expertise to help them adjust and thrive, including building trust with new people. I understand how intimidating change can be for animals, and I’m dedicated to making those transitions as smooth as possible. Currently, I’m expanding my skills in training dogs with behavioral challenges. I’m already working with a client who has made tremendous progress under my guidance. Additionally, I’ve dedicated countless unpaid hours to caring for animals, driven solely by my love and commitment to their well-being. When you entrust me with your pet, I promise to care for them as if they were my own, providing compassion, patience, and unwavering dedication in every situation. I am pretty open with my schedule. I will love your babies like my own and am currently doing rover full time so there's no job getting in the way of your animals care. I am a perfectionist. If you tell me you want something done in a specific way or at a certain time, please let me know!! I'd be more than happy to jump through hoops to give your baby(s) what they need when and how they need it. I will put your animal above everything else, that's what I'm paid for and that's what I love doing.

“Briana came out and walked my dog for me for a week while I had longer working hours. Duke loved her, she was prompt and had great communication! I so appreciated her coming out of her way to get him out and will absolutely be booking again!”

About: I am a animal lover with 4 babies of my own. I can brush, feed, walk, and accommodate in any way they need. As far as walks, I will take them out as long as they need! If there are any special requests please let me know. I've had animals my entire life so I definitely know how to care for pets and treat them like my own. I know my babies are part of the family just like yours! No request is too complex! Let me know how I can help! I work full time but can stay in your home and treat it and your fur babies like my own. Walks too! We can discuss. I have a senior pup at home and 3 cats witj different needs. I know a thing or two about accommodations in all forms! I am also clearly and organized.

About: Hello! Over the last few years, I have gained experience in caring for dogs in daycare and boarding settings, as well as in some training settings. The knowledge that I have gained from these experiences sets me apart because I now know the importance of building trust with pets. I am an advocate for positive reinforcement training methods, and have some experience with Fear Free methods as well. While I do not have any dog training certifications, I have had the opportunity to work alongside some wonderful dog professionals who have expanded my knowledge and understanding of what it means to advocate for all dogs, especially those who may be a bit more fearful. If you have a pet who needs to take things slow, or has some behaviors that may not make them successful in a dog daycare setting, I would be happy to see if I can make it into their "safe people" club! After 3 years working full-time in the dog care industry, I have become fluent in dog body language and communication. If you have questions about your dog's behavior, I'm happy to give you my best input and point you in the direction of resources that may be a good fit for you and your pet! I am also happy to take care of baths and nails for dogs as long as you have supplies. I have 3 years of professional experience in both, but no haircuts:) I am working part time in the mornings and evenings for a few hours at a time, so I can fill my schedule around those hours with hanging out with your pet! In caring for your pup, I will monitor their behavior and ensure they are happy and excited about any activities we may be doing. When on walks, I like to keep away from any other dogs or people we may come upon, just to ensure everyone's safety and comfort. I keep a close eye on our surroundings, both on walks and in homes, to ensure nothing ends up in the mouths of curious pups that shouldn't be there.

“Sarina is very good with our Daisy.”
