Dog Walking In Historic Third Ward

About: I've grown up around animals my whole life, including horses, dogs, cats, birds, even miniature donkeys of all ages, and I've never gone a day with less than 8 pets! In addition to owning several loving pets, my mom and I have rescued many pets from unsafe situations and helped nurse them back to a healthy condition, which has given me experience with animals of all personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I've cared for dogs my entire life, and have experience caring for up to 5 dogs at once. I am very comfortable handling both high energy and more relaxed dogs, and I adjust my care to fit each dog's individual needs. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, supervising playtime, bathtime, dispensing oral medication, and making sure each dog stays safe, happy, and well cared for. Back home with my parents, I have two loving dogs - Millie who is a highly energetic dog who can't get enough playtime and Fletch who just wants love and affection 24/7. Caring for them has given me experience understanding different temperments. I also have experience overnight pet sitting for a dog and cat simultaneously while also baby sitting three children all with different schedules as well as daily check ins on a farm which included caring for several dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and birds, so I am very reliable and comfortable managing multiple tasks at once while maintaining routines and giving attention and exercise as needed. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently available full time every day of the week/weekend through August 31, 2026. My schedule may change, but I will make sure to update my profile if that is the case! I provide care in the client's home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. During daily check ins, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, and recieve attention, playtime, or walks depending on their needs. I also handle litter box cleaning for cats and any basic household care related to the pets. For overnight stays, I stay in the home to provide consistent care, companionship, and supervision throughout the day and night. I am very detail-oriented and follow instructions closely, maintaining feeding and exercising schedules and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. I also pay attention to each pet's individual personality and adjust my care to fit their comfort level, whether they are energetic and playful or more shy and independent. In addition to in house pet care, I have no trouble taking pets for walks outside of the area whether that is a dog park, around the neighborhood, or by the lake per owner request. I also have a dog park at my apartment complex and would be willing to take pets to a coffee shop for a pup cup if that is of the owner's interest! My top priority is to keep pets safe, healthy, and stress free by maintaining their routine and giving them reliable, attentive care.

“Lisa gave our dog long walks that kept him active during our vacation. She coordinated with us and our house sitter promptly and professionally. We would happily seek her services again!”

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats. I currently have two cats of my own that I love with my entire heart! I know what it’s like to have pet parent guilt leaving your fur babies alone at home, and I would love to help take that weight off your heart! I am a professional volleyball player. I live here in Milwaukee during the off-season and don't have much to do in the summer. I workout in the mornings at 9am, but after that I am completely free. My gym is out in Wauwatosa, so it is no problem for me to make a trip out to the suburbs every day! I am usually busy on weekends, but weekdays are almost always wide open! I will follow whatever plan/schedule that you have laid out for your fur babies! I would feel most comfortable walking and caring for dogs that are trained on leash!

“Laurie was awesome! I went to work knowing my puppy was in good hands. Furthermore, with her extensive history in training dogs I knew she would do nothing but help my puppy become a well mannered adult dog on their walks. Furthermore, she gave me great tips as a first time dog owner. She's flexible and kind and very professional.”

“Steven was fantastic! As a first-time dog owner, I’ve never left my puppy alone or with anyone else until now, so this was a big step for me. I’m so grateful to have found someone I (and Moose!) trust and feel comfortable with. He took great care of Moose, and it definitely showed - Moose is happy and completely worn out after the day. Thank you for taking such good care of him!”

About: I love nurturing all living things from children (although I am not yet a parent to a human), to plants and animals alike! I tend to put all living things before my own needs to prioritize their well-being. In addition, I recently took in a crested gecko and have learned so much about caring for reptiles as well. Everyday before leaving my apartment I make sure that both of my pets have plenty of food and water. In addition, I check to ensure that my plants are out of reach from my cat and that my bioactive terrarium is maintaining humidity. I care for pets by making sure they have food, water, a clean liter box, a moist environment, and get taken out for potty breaks depending on which animal I am caring for. I am willing to care for your pets with the same considerations in mind.

“Riley was wonderful with Rocky! It was great to receive pictures from their walks each day. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable walker :)”

About: I’m a regular dog foster and walker at MADACC, so I’m comfortable catering to all different pup personalities and needs! I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was young, from puppies to senior with medical needs. I work remote 3 days a week and have no pets of my own, so I have lots of availability to give your dog the attention and care they need! Whether you’re looking for a walker or somewhere to take your pup for a long weekend, I can make most things work. I have a spacious apartment in a dog-friendly building where your dog will have plenty of space to lounge around! I live close to the Summerfest grounds so I have plenty of access to green space for long walks, or just a quick jaunt around the block depending on their preferences. I treat every dog I care for like my own, so you can rest assured your pup will be well cared for with me!

“did everything i asked. i had one happy pup”

About: I have taken care of dogs and large animals my whole life. Having experience with dogs and far animals. I understand different animals needs and wants. I work in the mornings, so I am available in the evenings to walk and take care of your animal in case you work late or just need a break. I am very tidy and always clean up after animals. I am used to walking dogs and making sure they use the bathroom and get zoomies out.

“Melissa did a great job watching my dog while I was out of town. She was prompt, reliable, communicative, and I'd definitely ask Melissa to watch him again!”

About: I am a grad student, I would love to care for you sweet pets! I grew up on my family farm with our dog Gatsby, our two horses Annie and Dakota, some cows and pigs and many cats. ****Happy to do house sitting, but not comfortable staying over night at others homes. I would come in the morning and evening to care for your pet — walks, attention, dinner, etc. Happy to be flexible depending on your pets needs, but not comfortable staying overnight. I work 9:00-4:00 M-F, depending on the pets needs I could stop by for a lunch time walk/lunch/bathroom/playtime! I am a morning person, so a nice walk in the morning would be great for me and your pet. I will have great care with your pets, and will communicate with you how they are doing to keep your mind at peace while you are away from your pet!

“Thanks again Jamie! Augie enjoyed his walk. We appreciate your help.”

Gabriel S.

“Emily was incredibly responsive to messages and was able to come by on short notice to do a meet and greet prior a few scheduled walks we unexpectedly needed later that day. In the pictures, it looked like our dog Ducky had a great time.”

Sabrina C.

“My puppy girl is always so excited to see Kayla for her walks! Kayla is great! She is an excellent communicator and has been reliable. I can tell she is good with my puppy based on how long they are able to walk for and the sweet pictures Kayla sends of her. Seriously the best dog photographer out there which is an added perk ;)”

“Marcie continues to be excellent with my dog. She's punctual, polite and kind. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve always loved taking care of family pets and pet-sitting for neighbors and friends! I have experience with just about every size, age, and breed and I am very comfortable with any combination! I work a full-time hybrid position, so I can be available most of the day to care for your pet! I also have guaranteed availability on weekends and evenings for a walk or drop in. I will communicate with each client to determine their preferences of care while I am watching their pet! I want to make sure your furry friend feels right at home.

About: I am experienced in taking care of dogs for the past six years! I am able to train as well :-) Currently I have my own dog, Milo! He’s a very good boy and amicable with other dogs. I work full time as a substance abuse counselor, however I work from home! Most of the time I have cancellations which allows me ample time to spend with the dogs! I treat every pet like they’re my own and prioritize creating a calm, safe, and clean environment. I always follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, make sure they feel comfortable, and keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

About: With a deep-rooted passion for dogs spanning decades, I bring extensive expertise in canine companionship from puppyhood through senior years. My approach is deeply personal and attentive, recognizing that pets are not just animals, but cherished family members. I pride myself on providing individualized care that honors each pet's unique needs and their owner's specific guidelines. My commitment goes beyond routine care—I treat every dog with the same love, respect, and careful attention I would give to my own beloved pets. Whether nurturing an energetic puppy or supporting a senior dog through their golden years, I ensure comfort, safety, and emotional well-being. My years of hands-on experience have taught me to be responsive, intuitive, and deeply compassionate in pet care. Clients can trust that their furry family members will receive nothing less than dedicated, personalized attention, with every detail carefully considered and every need thoughtfully met. I am at home most days and I always keep my availability calendar up to date. I look forward to helping with your pets at any time I am able to. Upon first meeting your pet, I have a detailed list of questions and follow your instructions meticulously. I will provide as many updates and pictures as you like. I understand that leaving your pet with someone can be difficult and for the entire time I am caring for your pet, I want you to know that your pet is happy and is in loving hands. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex. I have a good-size two-bedroom apartment with easy access to take your dog outside whenever needed. The complex has an fully enclosed dog park, several open fields, and walking paths. There is also a doggie bath station available. If invited to your home, I will treat everything with respect. I recognize that it is your home and that your pet is most comfortable in that space. I will do everything to make sure everything is as you left it.
