Dog Walking Holy Cross

About: I am a nearby teacher just looking to help you out with your dog/s! I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone else and I want it to be stress-free for you. I have a dog of my own, and I grew up with dogs all my life and love to be around them! I can socialize your pup with mine or keep them separate. I am free most weekends and holidays. I can go on a run and/or walk with your dog or just give them a little extra love and attention. I am a big fan of all dogs whether they are big or small. I also know some about cats if you need help with them as well. I am available on weekends and if needed can work in a Friday too. This allows me to put all my attention on your pets. I have one fur baby of my own that can easily be separated from your pup if needed. I also have easily access to a crate and a neighborhood dog park.

“Quick responses even on a weekend day. Sent images of dogs and took good care of them”

“As always, Sonja was amazing! She completely understands our dogs and takes such great care of them. We are so blessed to have her help with our two dogs.”

About: Growing up, my mom was the Eau Claire County Humane Officer, FEMA Animal Emergency Management volunteer coordinator, and general manager of the Chippewa County Humane Association. Throughout my childhood I helped care for thousands of dogs, cat, rabbits, and even a handful of lizards and snakes. I am well versed in animal behavior, safety, and empathy! I am new to the world of personalized in home care, but hope to gain your trust and grow my experience. I am a homeschooling mom of one 6 year old (who LOVES dogs!) and our schedule is very flexible. We have a 3 year old animal friendly Australian Shepherd who we walk daily within our neighborhood, on the interurban trail (5 minute walk away) and run off lease on the beach when there's no one around! My 6 year old is very animal empathetic, and is always learning behavior and cues from our own Aussie. Having a high energy household, I understand the importance of plenty of time spent outside. We live in a large, upper, 2 bedroom apartment and can easily accommodate temporary space for one or two more pets (of the same family). We have a park with an open field for playing ball, and the interurban trail are both a short walk away. We have plenty of green space around our building for shorter potty breaks. I have a large Ruffland crate available for your pets use.

“Gilian was prompt and professional from beginning to end. Very good vibes right off the bat between her and my dog, Ember! Will definitely reach out to her again for support in the future.”

About: I have always owned dogs. I love dogs more than people and will treat your dog as if they were my own. I have experience with all dogs including, large dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I currently work from home so I have the flexibility to meet your needs. I do not have childcare on Fridays so I am unable to see dogs on that day. I will treat your dog as my own. I will respect your space and finish the job I came to do. I like to spend a few minutes to say hello to the dog and make them comfortable.

About: I recently lost my senior cat, Tigger. He passed away in August 2025. Tigger was very sick. I spent multiple hours per day providing care. Tigger had a chronic digestive illness that required care from someone who had critical attention to detail. I administered his medications every 12 hours, cleaned him up after he used the litter-box, provided him emotional support, syringe fed him wet food during his final days, and more. I currently work in the healthcare field as a clinical pharmacist (for humans). I truly understand how important it is not only for humans to have their medications on time, but for animals to have their care on time as well. I dedicated an entire 10 months of my life to help Tigger live those 10 extra months. My timeliness, organizational skills, and attention to details allowed me to provide the best care for Tigger. I have been devastated since his passing. I currently still have 2 cats at home (Apollo + Moon). They're the sweetest boys and make my life very full. I lived with cats almost my entire life, and I know how important it is to keep their daily schedule the same. I always make pet care a priority. My animals (and the ones I am looking after) are the first things on my mind. Taking care of animals is more than just a job, it is now my lifestyle. 💕 I always make sure the animals have access to clean, cool, fresh water. That is the most important task, that I will always check on first. Secondly, it is most important to ensure each animal has appropriate access to food in the quantity and quality needed for them to maintain a healthy life. I have experience with feline prescription food diets, and understand the importance to not deviate from their special food. Thirdly, it is important that animals have access to a clean and stress free potty area. As a cat mom myself, I am constantly cleaning the littler box area for my own fur children to ensure they have a tidy space to use the bathroom.

About: I have 10 years of experience caring for pets, including dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, or simply giving a dog some extra affection, I treat every pup like my own. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, basic training, and caring for senior dogs or puppies I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks throughout the week. I love being outdoors and can easily adjust my schedule to meet your dog’s needs I provide a safe and loving environment for every dog. Walks are always on a leash, and I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort. At home, I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I can also follow any specific instructions you give to keep your dog’s routine consistent.

“Was awesome with my 3 boys while we were on vacation, they are large dogs and can’t seem to walk in a straight line and she took it in stride and they really enjoyed their daily walks!! 💕💕 Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs and animals before. I have cared for and trained various animals including cats, dogs, horses, cows, and goats. Some of the dogs I've sat for were show dogs or had health needs that required a strict routine, diet, or medication needs. While I used to be in the workforce I am home with two boys, they would be with me for any visits or walks so a somewhat kid friendly dog is needed. We used to have dogs of our own so they are both used to pups. This does make me super flexible and able to get up and go pretty quick. I have experience with a wide array of dog breeds, temperaments, energy levels and sizes. Im all ears for preferences and needs for any dog too. I am up and ready to go if needed by 8 and try to be home to cook by 4, and then Im available from 5:30/6ish when dinner raps up as my husband is home and I can run if needed. I approach slowly and gently to encourage calm for the high energy ones and safety for the more timid. I can give food and water if needed, kennel the pup if needed, and will leave the place the same if not better than how I found it.

About: I have experience as a dog/ cat owner and fosterer and have been a reliable sitter for friends and family for the last 15 years. As a sitter or walker you can expect me to be punctual, respectful, cleanly, communicative, available, aware, responsible, alert, playful and loving. I am primarily offering care in YOUR home at this time for pet sitting. I currently live in Grafton, WI. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work very part time at the moment and from home so I am very flexible and can usually help out last minute and am happy to do so. I cannot do in my home cares at this time. aaaa a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and currently care for four dogs and one cat of my own. Caring for multiple pets has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize each animal’s unique personality and needs. From energetic playtime and long walks to quiet cuddles and sticking to feeding routines, I’m comfortable providing attentive, loving care. Also, I am comfortable and experienced in handling medication for dogs as one of my dogs at home has diabetes. I understand that every pet is part of the family, and I’ll treat yours with the same kindness, respect, and affection that I give my own. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pet. I’ll do my best to accommodate your preferred days and times, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits both you and your furry friend. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for my own four dogs and one cat, so I’m familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and lots of love. I’ll also respect your pet’s routine, follow any feeding or medication instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
