Dog Walkers in Haugen, WI

About: My name is Matt, dog walking/caretaking/house sitting has been my sole occupation for the past 11 years.  I started working with dogs as the primary animal caretaker for a daycare where we also provided boarding, grooming and professional training services.  During my three years there, working alongside a professional  trainer and groomer, I developed a deep understanding of canine behavior and communication and have handled all different types of personalities, breeds, temperaments and sizes of dogs from newborn puppies to large and difficult or aggressive dogs.  I also have experience administering meds and caring for dogs with various health conditions or disabilities including dogs with missing limbs, blindness, hearing loss, diabetes and epilepsy. Your pet's safety is my top priority, I carry water and first aid supplies on walks and only use positive reinforcement methods when working with animals.  I do not take an "alpha male" approach with dogs, I understand that building trust requires patience, a mutual understanding of boundaries and keeping interactions positive. Dog walking is my primary occupation. I'm generally available 7 days a week even on short notice, including holidays. I don't typically take time off unless it's necessary. I have a small, well-kept fenced in back yard for the dogs to run free. I have different sized crates and several dog gates to accommodate or separate dogs when necessary for safety or comfort. The dogs will always have plenty of bedding, clean dishes and fresh water.

About: I have 2 dogs, 55 chickens, and 2 horses. I've bottle fed kittens, trained puppies, worked with foals and horses, poultry, and I've had hands on experience with senior animals of my own. Animals are my daily life, from dawn until dusk. I find it to be a huge honor to be able to care for my own and others' pets. I strive to make animals lives the best they can be. I have a large fenced in yard, with separate areas, large kennels inside the house, as well as baby gates and a multiple level home to separate dogs inside the house while giving space to roam. I have 2 dogs of my own who are very friendly and up to date on shots.

“Taylor was awesome! She was very considerate about the hot weather and took my dog out for a later walk if the pavement was too hot. She also left notes about if he peed or pooped so I knew he was on a normal potty cycle. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for almost my whole life. I was raised with a small dog and shared her responsibilities all 18 years of her life. I have been a trusted dog walker for many friends. I have worked with all ages, sizes, and training levels. I currently work full time Monday through Friday, but am able to work flexible hours to check on your pets throughout the day if needed. I will work to follow your normal routine and schedule with your pet as closely as possible. I will make sure your pet is getting as much attention as possible!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was at home growing up, I now am a proud owner of my Gentle Giant English Bulldog I am willing to walk, feed, play or house sit your pet! Short and long term! Overnight stays are fine. References available upon request. Cats are welcome too! I can care for your pet at your home. I am willing to do over nights if needed. I have a crate available if the need arises.

About: Hello! I'll get right to it, I'm a dog trainer specializing in building members of the family. I am also a CGC Evaluator (Canine Good Citizen), so if your looking for someone to help you throughout that process or if your confident in your doggo and are ready to test, I'm your guy! I'm also a member as well as a Tester and observer for The Alliance of Therapy Dogs. So if you end up getting an ich to volunteer, I will be able to certify and guide your team along the way! Assuming you pass out test that is 😉 Now as a travelling trainer I sometimes take on a few extra gigs like this to make ends meet. My latest dog I trained before coming south recieved his VHM (Virtual Home Manners), CGC (Canine Good Citizen), and TN (Trick Dog Novice) titles at the ripe ole' age of 4 months! My personal dog Buddha is a service dog who has passed the PAT (Public Access Test). He is also a registered Therapy Dog through: The Alliance of Therapy Dogs. We are insured through the: Business Insurers of the Carolinas. He has the following titles: DN (Dock Diving Novice), FDG (Fit Dog Gold and below), TKP (Trick Canine Performer and below), VHM (Virtual Home Manners), CGC (Canine Good Citizen), CGCA (Canine Good Citizen Advanced), CGCU (Canine Good Citizen Urban), THDN (Therapy Dog Novice) and THD (Therapy Dog). Buddha is 3 years 9 months old. I also offer a stud service with Buddha if anyone is interested we can talk details through text, call, email, or face to face. What I'm saying is that if you'd like we could talk about my services as a trainer as well and I could show you and your little buddy some fun things to do, or perhaps help on something that has been a struggle. Whether it's a new obstacle or an older persistent one, we can overcome it. I free lance as a Pet Trainer and Respite Care Provider. My service dog Buddha and I work at Yellow River Game Farm. We also work odd jobs for people in town so our schedule is always workable. How ever you instruct. Otherwise we feed, walk, play, and rest at specific times. Pets need and do well with structure. Putting together a good positive routine sets our fluffy buddies up for success.

“Taylor Is very reliable and communicative. She stayed in regular touch while I was out of town and sent adorable photos of my dog, Lucy, who clearly had a wonderful time on her long walks with Taylor. Would definitely book again!”

Along with experience, I am obtaining a certification as a veterinary technician, just completing my first year of a two-year program. I am currently a full-time college student, free for the summer, and have plenty of flexibility. Don't be afraid to reach out! I love animals! I stick to schedule feedings, potty breaks, and routines set by owners. Bonus: I will provide lots of belly rubs, attention, and treats if allowed.
