Dog Walking Jefferson

About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician and have experience in pet sitting and the veterinary field for the past 20 years. I owned a pet sitting business for 5 years (2008 - 2012) and experience in general practice, emergency, specialty, and shelter medicine. Having a medical background allows me to pick up on medical issues and emergencies in a timely fashion, allowing for treatment if necessary. I am also able to administer medications as needed. I treat others' dogs the same way I treat my own pets and keep daily routines as close to their normal as much as possible. I work full time at a clinic and part time at the local humane society. I am available limited days during the week for walks and drop in services. Please see the calendar for up to date availability! I discuss your pets routine with you so I can keep it the same as possible during my visits. This helps keep your pet's schedule uninterrupted and allows for calmer and happier experiences!

About: I have helped take care of animals ever since I was 5. Over the years, I have dog sat for friends and neighbors along with providing support when needed. I have never not had a pet and have always made sure to do my research to ensure I am treating any pet in the best way possible along with ensuring what is and isn’t safe for different animals. I have many friends that come to me first when they need help, especially with their animals. Many of my friends have called me a dog whisperer. I currently work full time from home as an accountant. I tend to be home most weekends and my hours make it very easy to fit any animal into my schedule. I have 2 rabbit currently at my home and my neighbors have a dog, cats, and chickens. I would always make sure that the animal is supervised as I know how important a pet is and the responsibility necessary to ensure it stays safe. I did recently have a baby as well that would be joining me most of the time. I work from home full time and recently had a baby that I take care of full time too. As long as animals are comfortable with a baby, I am always happy to help out. I provide safe, reliable, and loving care for pets in my home or my client’s home by following their normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and medication if needed. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and comfort. I also monitor their behavior closely and keep owners updated for peace of mind.

“Nikki was great with our dog while we were out of town. Since it was our first time using her as a walker, she came over a couple days before and did a meet and greet which was nice for us and our dog to get to meet her. Would definitely use Nikki again!”

I also have a male cat he's 5years old. I currently go to school part-time on Monday & Wednesday's, I have a part-time job as well that is very flexible and would give me all the time I'd like to help others with there pets. I love plants, making sure all my plants are pet friendly and everyone I safe. My living room is a good size to roll around and play. I have a patio if they wish to hang out side in the sun.

About: I have 15+ years of professional pet care experience through shelter, boarding, dog daycare and rescue experience. I previously managed a large scale, highly awarded facility in Madison. I can offer a vast amount of knowledge to make sure your pet not only has a great time while you are away but also is safe and well card for. I offer walks and drop in visits any day of the week. Walks can be in your own neighborhood, at a nearby trail location of your choosing or off leash at my rural home in our 1.75 acre fenced in yard. (Additional travel fees may apply for locations other than your home.) Your pup will come home tired from not only physical exercise but also from mental stimulation as I will encourage them to use their sniffer and their brain with basic obedience. I also offer a limited amount of In-Home Pet Sitting services in customer homes only. I am not able to sleepover in customer homes due to having pets/children of my own but can offer house sitting on a drop in basis and make multiple, extended visits to your home daily at your preferred times. I look forward to meeting your and your pet! I work a part time job that is only in person on Mondays. Every other day of the week my schedule is very flexible for walks, drop ins or pet sitting services. At our meet and greet we will discuss safety protocols for getting your pet inside and outside safety as well as ensure they have a collar/harness setup that is secure for walks.

About: I have been around animals my whole life, and they bring me so much joy! I love meeting new animal friends and helping others by taking care of their pets. I have about 10 years of experience and I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, and even chickens! I am patient and full of love and ready to help anyone with their dog-walking, playing, bathing, and any other pet needs. My schedule is very open and I am here to help with your pets! I am a part time teacher in the mornings M-TH. My most open times are evenings and weekends, but I am available during the day at most times as well. My home is not open to other pets, but if I am in yours I will respect your privacy and take care of your home as if it is my own!

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life from family dogs to neighborhood dogs. From walks to just potty breaks I can provide the best care. I am currently training my own puppy to be the best hunting companion. He has learned to love his kennel and that it is his quiet space. I work part time Monday through Wednesday I am home by 2pm but need time to let my own puppy have some outside time. Thursday and Friday I am home all day other than the occasional appointments. I am able to spend up to two hours with your pet getting the wiggles out or learning some of the basics. Weekends are my family time so I am mostly unavailable other than a random Saturday if my partner ends up working. At my home we are fenced in on 3 sides from neighbors but I have a tie out available. At your home I am comfortable with crates or not and Im willing and able to clean up any mess your furry companion may make. I am comfortable with walking with a harness or not.

About: Agnes Mable, my dachshund of 12 years taught me patience better than anyone. I love spending time cuddling, giving belly rubs, sniffling frito feet, & running around the yard chasing them like a screaming banshee. I stay at friends & neighbors houses frequently when they're away to watch their dogs, cats, & fish. I also have friends & neighbors dogs over for weeks at a time. I've been doing this the since moving back to Wisconsin in April 2024. I love taking care of pets like their my own. Once I have a fenced in yard, I will welcome another dachshund into my life, but until then I fill my cup with caring for other's doggos & kitty cats. I'm excited to meet you! Extra treats for pugs & extra belly rubs for the heavy weights that can fetch & return! I work from home & the days I'm traveling for work will be unavailable to book. We'll spend all day together! I've got a spacious yard, large back deck that gets direct sun light for the one's that like to bake, & if they get along with other dogs, sometimes I walk over to my sisters with them to meet my favorite pug, Potato! I live in a duplex on the bottom floor so it's easy in & out, no stairs. My yard is massive with lots of plants & trees to sniff around. I'll always take my fur friends outside on a leash. I do have a small crate available for dogs under 15 pounds, toys, treats, & extra leashes just in case you forget something. Most importantly, I have a big lamby & a small lamby.

About: Caring for others (especially animals) is truly my passion! I was a nanny for over 5 years which opened me up to pet care as well. Since most families I worked for had pets, I took on the responsibility of caring for them as well as their children. Hi there! Just a little bit about me! Caring for others (especially animals) is genuinely my passion! I was a nanny for over four years which opened me up to pet care as well. Since most families I worked for had pets, I took on the responsibility of caring for them as well as their children. I do not work outside of the home which means I can dedicate all of my time to your pet! I usually take one booking at a time, so if your pet doesn’t get along with other pets that’s no problem.

About: I have always had a dog in my house growing up, so i understand the basics of dog care. Currently I work at a dog daycare. I've been working there for 2 years and it has helped me understand more about dog behaviors, and care for them efficiently and effectively. Before that I volunteered at the Jefferson Humane Society for 3 years helping clean out animal cages/rooms and providing affection to all the rescued animals. I'm looking for extra work during the summer in between my internship and job. Internship is 3 days a week, job is 2. So I don't have a bunch of time but I do have some open hours where I can do dog walks and some daycare shifts. I have a lot of experience with a variety of dogs and their behaviors. I can create dogs when needed and can walk dogs without any issues.

I have gained lots of experience with working with puppies all the way up to elderly dogs and all sorts of breeds. You won't be disappointed in choosing me to care for your family members. Thank you for your time checking out my profile and considering me. I work full time at a doggy daycare but am available before or after my shifts during the week and free on most weekends. I am pretty flexible. I have a fenced in backyard and 3 dogs who are great company. My dogs are crate trained and I have extra crates if your dog would need one as well.

I love taking pups for walks and helping let them out if people in the area could use an extra hand with their pups for whatever reason. I work remotely, so I often have a flexible schedule to assist with animals. I have a family and children and also help coach sports for them, so just need to work around their schedule (their activities are in the evening and on weekends, so those times are more limited for me). In my home, we have a fenced yard in which we let our dogs out for quick bathroom breaks. I also walk our dogs around our property (hobby farm) and in town on leashes.

“Sadie is so sweet and kind! She's great with my highly energetic dog, Scout. She walks him all around my neighborhood and is kind to all of our neighbors she meets on our walk. She's very dependable and has great communication skills. I am so glad I found her to help me with Scout!”

About: I have always loved animals. I always say my first job was when I was 4 helping in my grandmother's vet clinic. I got to help cuddle all of the dogs and assist in all the fun a vet clinic has to offer. It was love at first site. I now have three rescue dogs of my own that are spoiled and loved. I have lots of farm experience and worked at Skydance Doggy Day Care for a time. I am a stay at home mom but my little one will be at preschool Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. From 9-2. So I have some free time to help you and your fur babies out!! I can come to your house to walk your fur baby and give them all the pets they could need. I am willing to do anything else your dog/pet requires during the day :)

About: We have grown up with animals our entire lives. Currently, we have two charming dogs and one adorable cat. Our top priority is to create a nurturing environment where animals feel safe, secure and at ease. We also have two younger children in the home, so any visiting dogs would have to be okay with them. All interactions are supervised for everyone's safety. Please message me with any questions. I work Tuesday - Friday, leaving Monday for the dogs (and cats)! Our children are involved in almost every sport possible, and we love taking our dogs with us to their practices and games. Yours can join too if they are up to it! Playing fetch, tug of war, or just cuddling on the couch, whatever it is that suits your dog best, we are up for it! I am available for drop-ins after morning school drop-off, during lunch and before school pick-up on Monday’s, along with offering dog walks in the morning and afternoon hours on Mondays. We appreciate your understanding, and cooperation. Your dog/cat will be treated like a member of our family, and I will do my best to ensure they enjoy their time. They will enjoy 1:1 time, being spoiled, and treated like royalty.

About: Since my family got a chihuahua in 2011, I have loved dogs! And in 2021, my family got 2 new puppies! I only have owned small dogs but I volunteer at the Humane Society and have worked with dozens of dogs with different sizes and temperemants! Thursdays and Fridays are my most available days, but let me know what you need and I will find time! I am an online student so I don't have many time constraints! I can give your dog exercise and some extra loving when you don't have the time or energy. Enrichment time is important for all dogs, no matter the size or age!

“Overall a great person. Very easy to work with, easy to reach, fast reaponses, punctual... Took care of our dogs by giving them walks while we were on vacation. The pups loved Allison. Thank you for everything!!”

About: My family has always had dogs and cats growing up that started out as puppies and taking care of them every day. I take them out, feed them, and clean up after them. I am currently working full time at my job, but I don't work Wednesdays or Sundays and I could do Monday and Saturday mornings before 2. I can walk, feed, and look after pets. I have experience in both dogs and cats, so I know how to clean up with both pets.
