Dog Walking Holmen

About: Hello! I’m Laura, and I’m so excited to welcome your four-legged family member into my heart and home. Having grown up with dogs and raised three of my own beloved pups through to their golden years, I know firsthand that dogs aren't just pets—they are cherished family members. Now that my home is a bit quieter, I have a wealth of love, patience, and attention to share with your dog while you are away. Why Choose Me? Lifetime of Experience: I have over 40 years of experience living with and caring for dogs. Senior Dog Care: Having loved three dogs through their entire lives, I am highly comfortable with senior care, gentle pacing, and keeping strict medication and feeding schedules. A Safe, Loving Environment: Your dog will get my full attention, plenty of belly rubs, and a calm, reliable routine that mirrors the comfort they have at home. Whether your pup is an energetic walker or a professional couch cuddler, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend and give you peace of mind knowing they are in safe, loving hands! My daily and weekly schedule is very consistent, which makes it easy to provide a reliable, stress-free routine for your dog. During the week, my schedule allows me to easily plan my day around a dog's needs. I am always home for dedicated morning, late afternoon, and evening care. Because my routine is highly structured, I can guarantee regular potty breaks, timely feedings, and medication administration on a strict schedule. My late afternoons, evenings, and weekends are wide open and entirely dedicated to pet care. Whether that means going for relaxed neighborhood walks, playing in the yard, or just offering quiet companionship on the couch, your dog will be a central part of my day. I treat guest dogs like family, fitting them seamlessly into a warm, attentive, and loving daily routine. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether a dog is staying with me or I am visiting them in their own home. Having raised three dogs of my own, I know how important a secure and predictable environment is for a pet's peace of mind. In My Home: I maintain a calm, dog-friendly, and completely smoke-free environment. Before any stay, I do a thorough safety sweep to ensure all hazards, cords, or human foods are securely out of reach. Dogs in my care are supervised closely, and I follow a strict double-check policy on all doors and gates when entering or exiting. In Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it secure, clean, and exactly as you left it. During visits or house sits, I stick closely to your security routines (locking doors, arming alarms) and ensure your dog is safely secured inside before I leave. My Care Philosophy: Tailored to the Dog: I strictly adhere to your specific rules regarding furniture, feeding schedules, and crate training to keep their routine seamless. On-Leash Safety: I always keep dogs securely on-leash during walks and remain highly alert to our surroundings and other animals. Constant Communication: I love sending daily photo updates so you can see firsthand how happy, relaxed, and safe your pup is!

“I just love this human for my pup!!!!! My pup LuCee is a very picky girl. On the meet and greet LuCee fell in love with Christine!! I could tell immediately it was a great fit. I was given details of Christine's visit and can rest assured LuCee is good to go till I get home. Having such an amazing person take care of my fur kiddo is priceless and gives me the peace of mind I need so I can finish my day!!! I appreciate Christine's phenomenal service!!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. I have helped neighbors, friends, and family with their pets for short periods and long periods of time. I have my own 4 year old husky/akita mix who loves to play with other dogs and be in company with senior dogs who would prefer a long nap over play. I know how important it is to be able to trust your animals in the hands of somebody else and I’m hoping to be just that. I am currently working part time and will have open availability for weekends and weekdays. I will be taking a few classes once fall semester begins which will take a few hours out of my weekdays. I have a 2.5 acre unfenced yard, but offer two different types of monitored tethering or the option to take your dog to the bathroom on a leash. I have two dogs in my home one being my parents 13 year old lab and my own 4 year old husky. My dogs eat two times a day once in the morning and at night and take 3-5 bathroom breaks throughout the day as needed. Neither of my dogs are food aggressive or aggressive towards other dogs.

“Eliza is a very trustworthy and conscientious dogwalking friend to my Luna! Highly recommended!!!”

About: I currently volunteer at the local animal shelter to help animals in need. I have a lot of experience with walking dogs and even some minor training. At home, I have a 15-year-old border collie mix and 4-year-old tabby cat who are both rescues. In addition, I work as a nurse, so I am more than willing to administer medications and injections. Being that I have an elderly dog myself, I am no stranger to senior care or special needs. I am available most days to help with taking your dog out or checking in on your kitty. I am available most weekends as well. I cannot offer pet boarding, but I am willing to check in on your furry family members! I am always willing to lend a hand when life gets busy. I can also administer CPR, medications, and injections as well.

“Sara is the best!”

About: *My services will be inactive April 2026 - October 2026 for military purposes.* I began dog sitting for friends and family when I was young, and over the years, that experience grew into more consistent and committed pet-sitting opportunities. I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, cows, horses, rabbits, and the occasional fish! I have pets of my own, including two dogs, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and two chickens, so I’m experienced with both dogs and a variety of other animals. I’m also involved with a local foster group; Driftless Rescue. I’m responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy staying busy and spending time with animals. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away! I work full-time between two jobs, but my schedules are flexible, allowing me to provide pet care visits throughout the day. I can typically check in on pets every 4–6 hours, depending on the location and care needs. I’m best suited for pets who are comfortable being left alone for a few hours between visits. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific routine and make sure their needs can be met! I provide pet care exclusively in your home rather than boarding pets at my house. Since I have dogs and several small animals of my own, I feel it’s safest to keep everyone in their own space. My goal is to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible.

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, small animals, and fish since I was 12 years old. I love animals and family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets while they are away. I will be attending UWL, but have a flexible schedule and will be able to spend some time with your fur babies throughout the day. I will respect your home as well as your pet’s space. I care about your pet’s safety and comfort, especially when they are in their own home.

About: Farm-raised animal lover with attention to detail. Calm, patient care built on trust, enriching walks, and outdoor adventures tailored to your dog's unique personality and needs. Pet care is currently my primary focus, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I can dedicate my time and attention to each pet, ensuring they receive reliable care, exercise, companionship, and a calm, consistent experience every visit. I care for every pet as if they were my own, always respecting their routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether in your home or out on a walk, I focus on building trust through calm, patient interactions while providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, fresh water, affection, and attentive care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

“Kayla is great. Our dog took to her immediately. We like how responsible Kayla is. We can depend on her and know our pets are being cared for!”

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life and expected to take care of them myself. I also spent lots of days/nights house sitting for neighbors and friends :) I absolutely love meeting new furry friends and making sure they receive the same love they give. I can help out any day after 5:30pm. I do have a flexible schedule and can try to always work something out when needed. I can stay overnight in homes any night of the week. I have a fenced in yard and 3 friendly dogs at home to keep company :) I have a small & Xlarge dog crate in case the pup needs to be in a crate whole home.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my house all the time which has given me experience with walking, training, bathing, and feeding. I have taken care of my friends and family’s dogs plenty of times and can be sure that I will provide you with the most efficient and kind service for your pet. I am currently working a part time internship this summer that leaves me with plenty of time in the morning/ early afternoon to take your dog out! I can also work time in for weekends. I have a golden retriever at home that I spend lots of time with. I love taking him out for walks, hiking, drives, and swimming in the creek. I do a lot of the care at home with him, making sure he’s healthy and clean. He is like a best friend to me and I will treat your pet with the same kind of care and love.

About: Hi! I’m Kylie, and I would love to be your next trusted pet sitter! I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’m ready to treat your pets just as I do my own - with careful care and lots of love. I have pet sit on and off for friends and family over the years and I understand how important it is to be able to leave your four-legged family member with someone you can trust. Whether its long walks, training enrichment activities, or cuddles on the couch, I’ll prioritize you and your pets needs during our time together. I’m currently a full-time graduate student at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse, and during my semesters I typically have classes from 7am-3pm. During that time I typically have at least a 30 min break in between classes that would allow me to stop in to take care of your pet! In your home, I will respect your pet’s routine and areas that it prefers to play, cuddle, or run around in. If you have any special guidelines or needs from me while I care for your pet in your home, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

About: I love animals of all kinds! I’m a nurse looking to hang out with your pets on my days off. I have experience with every care need from early puppy socialization to end of life care. I haven’t met a dog yet I didn’t immediately become besties with, from the tiniest chihuahua to the biggest pittie or Dane. I will never turn a dog down because of their breed! I’m also happy to look after any other animals you might have, from reptiles to birds to horses. Just ask and we’ll make it work! I have a rotating schedule that includes a full week off every third week. I work 5p-3a three days a week (and every third weekend). Just message and we’ll figure something out! Yours: I understand being particular about one’s home, so no reasonable request relating to my conduct there would be too much! Cleaning up after myself is a given, as is following any personal house rules. Mine: All of my animals are up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick medication, and I require the same from any animal I keep in my home. They would be kept separate from my 4 cats for the first couple of days, but with discretion and communication I would be fine with introducing them if they were interested in each other. Smoke free home.

About: I have fostered close to 50 cats ranging from 3 days old to 19 years old. I have two cats of my own and had a dog for 13 years. I have done many overnight dog sitting stays as well as a few cat sitting stays. I love the outdoors as well and going for walks with dogs is one of my favorite outdoor hobbies! I am a full time college student during the school year, but my summers are spent doing part time jobs so I have extra free time to spend time and care for lots of animals! I have experience with big dogs, little dogs, and cats of all ages and personality types. I love socializing with them and getting some energy out by going for walks, playing fetch, or even just some extra snuggles!

About: Hello, I’m Ashlyn! If you were to ask anyone who knows me what I’m like, the first thing they would tell you is that I am animal OBSESSED! I have been surrounded by animals + cats alike my entire life. I currently own two big dogs (Pitbull +Aussie) + one small dog (Shih Tzu) and a cat! I strive to ensure your pet has the best experience possible while you are away. Coming from a pet parent myself I know the fear of leaving your bestfriend in someone else’s care can be a lot. That’s why I believe it is important to keep you in the loop for a stress-free time away, while also giving your animal plenty of enrichment and love to distract their worried mind while you are gone. I am experienced with a wide range of different kinds of dogs. From reactive, friendly, and anxious I have seen it all. I am more then willing to work through quirks your animal has in order to make their experience the best it can be! Some training skills I am well-versed in is leash training, socialization, basic manners, puppy care, senior care, and separation anxiety issues. I am so excited to meet your animal and give it the best experience possible! I currently work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Hours vary week to week. Let me know your preferred schedule and we can make it work! I am absolutely able to leave work (distance permitting) during my break to let your animal outside and let out some energy if needed! After work I am able to give your pet some exercise whether that is a walk or playing with some toys after work. For house-sitting/ drop ins- I am a firm believer that following a similar routine to what the owner (you) follows will give your pet the least stressful experience possible. I will stick to your potty schedule for your animal as well as feeding. As for exercise, I am up to whatever your dog or cat prefers! I can go for walks, play fetch, provide enrichment with feeding time or play with toys. I am always willing to go to nearby park with your pup if preferred! Whatever your pet loves and makes them feel the safest! For dog-walking, I am willing to walk however long your animal needs! Does your pet have a favorite route? Let me know and I will follow it! Any nearby trails or parks? I am always down to visit them with your pup if wanted! I have personal experience with leash-pulling and reactivity so as long as I am made aware of these things and have met your dog, I am more then willing to work through these things on our walk! I am big on taking my dogs and shelter dogs to parks or big areas to run or explore. If this is something you would be interested in, I could totally take your dog out for an hour to exercise them!

About: Hi, my name is Megan. I have been volunteering at my local Humane Society, for over 2 years, so I’ve had lots of experience with so many different breeds of dogs! I enjoy all types of animals. Potty breaks I know are important along with tons of play time. I am able to learn/ adapt to your pets needs! All animals are wonderful in my eyes! Lots of pets and scratches, and belly rubs also included! I personally would love to be able to watch your pets. It’s my dream job I’d say! I’m very laidback, and have a calm personality . Also I’ll treat your pet as I would my very own. I work part time! So most days I am available to walk or watch your animals! Just message me to talk more about how I can care for your animal(s)! I would do anything for my animals. There is a fenced in big back yard! My 2 dogs love it. I keep my two dogs as healthy as possible! I love them like family.

About: I've had dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me! I'm comfortable with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I've volunteered for several years at animal shelters where I walked dogs, cleaned kennels, fed them, and gave medications. I've also been pet sitting through Rover throughout college and have cared for many friends' and family members' pets. I enjoy getting to know each dog's personality and making sure they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll treat your pet like they're one of my own and keep you updated along the way! I am an Alum of UWEC, currently in a gap year and applying to graduate school! I am free to take care of your dog during the week, and weekends as needed! I know pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so that's what I try to do! Whether I'm stopping by for a drop-in visit, taking your dog for a walk, or staying at your home, I'll make sure they get lots of attention, fresh water, meals if needed, potty breaks, exercise, and any medications they need. I'll also send plenty of updates and pictures so you know how they're doing while you're away.
