Dog Walking Kops Park

About: I am a true animal lover at heart! My family always owned dogs growing up, I adopted my own, Bear, in 2017 and my cat Luna (aka Tuna) in 2021. After recently losing Bear unexpectedly, I’m hoping to help heal my heart and get some puppy love by offering walks and drop-in visits to your babies! Prior to adopting Luna, I offered in-home boarding for many years through Rover. Unfortunately she’s not a fan of having other dogs around, otherwise we’d still be offering that service. I also worked at a doggy daycare during college because I loved dogs so much, and I wanted to spend time with them even though I couldn't get one at the time. This obviously provided me with lots of experience in handling multiple dogs! I promise to love your furbaby like my own and provide lots of pictures and updates :) I work remotely on Monday/Thursday/Friday so I’m available for drop-ins or walks during the workday! Would love to arrange regular services over lunch time. As some who believes that pets are family, I promise to do everything in my power to keep your pets safe under my care. When I have hired Rover services myself, I love to receive lots of pictures and updates from my sitters, so I promise to do the same for you!

About: I’ve always had pets in my life from little fish to big dogs! I think pets are family, so my love for animals runs deep, and I’d love to spend time with your pet 😊 I have experience with large (100lb+) and small dogs as well as cats. I also have a rescue dog of my very own, so I have experience with pets that need some extra time to warm up. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I am happy to do whatever I can to make your pet feel safe and comfortable 🥰 I work part time, so I’m available for walks and drop-in visits 8am to 7pm most Fridays and Sundays. You may see additional availability pop up when I have extra time though! Great pet care is the way that YOU care for your pet! I’m happy to accommodate whatever you typically do to make your pet happy in your home or on their walks even if it’s abnormal - keeping a consistent routine helps keep your pet happy. Before any services, I do want to meet you and your pet to ensure that we’re a good fit and that I understand your specific care expectations.

About: I’ve taking care of pets since I was 13. I currently have a blind senior german shepherd, and guide him when needed, giving him lots of treats and love. I also have a 1 year puppy and give her frequent time out. I’m planning on working weekends whenever needed to play with doggies and give them the care they need! I can feed them, give medicine, and care for blind and senior dogs. I put my dogs before anything and make sure they have everything they need. Treats, water, food, play time, medicine, supplements, nap time and love.

About: My dog care history began when I was in middle school and became caretaker for my family dog, Charlie (a Shiba inu mix). I have walked and cared for dogs of many different sizes and all ages both in my personal life and professionally. I have over 3 years if experience at doggy daycares. In my personal life I have cared for my dilute tortie Smokie for 7 of her 8 years. I have also cared for reptiles and amphibians at the Urban Ecology Center and am trained to handle snapping turtles. I love animals of all kinds. I work part time and currently have a very open availability. I am willing to work weekends and holidays. Please ask me if I'm available! I believe in the importance of safety, health, and enrichment. Your animals needs - both physical and emotional - are a priority to me. I put in the time and effort your animal deserves.

“I have been using these 2 for a couple of weeks with both Wag and now Rover. They have been great to my girl. They are helping her get the energy out in a safe way and even working on her focus in public. Much appreciated ?”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was 7 and currently have one of my own! Big or small I’ll watch them all I work from home 3 days per week, and am happy to provide care for your animals first thing in the morning, mid day, or in the evening. I am also available for weekend care! I have fenced yard at my own home and in my clients homes I will take care of you dog or cat per your instructions only. I am happy to share many photos!

About: I grew up having three different dogs ever until I was about 13. Over the last couple years, I’ve watched, walked, and overall taken care of several dogs for friends and family. I genuinely love to be around dogs and to play. I work from home full-time so I can give your dog a good amount of attention throughout the day with breaks to play and take a necessary potty or walk. I can watch dogs currently anytime during the work week! I live in an apartment so I don’t have a yard, but the area I live in has grass near by to go to when needed. Otherwise, we do go on walks throughout the day in our apartment community to get some exercise. We hold the safety of the dogs at highest priority so making sure they don’t get into anything they aren’t suppose to and making sure that they have what they need!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and love them so much that I decided to work at a Dog and Cat daycare and boarding facility. I’ve been working there for 3 years and have worked with all breeds and ages varying from puppies to seniors and love comforting them and making them happy while also making sure their parents know they are in good hands! I’m currently working part-time and my availability is flexible. I’m willing to make adjustments as long as I am notified at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Depending on the typical routine of the pet, I will follow it as close as possible to make them feel as comfortable as I can. I will keep them busy by going on walks or by playing with them, or if they have lower energy I’ll just make sure to give them extra attention.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of animals of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am comfortable with post-op care and administering medications. I will care for your pets as if they are my own! I am available most mornings (before 6 am), evenings (6-9 pm), Fridays, and weekends! I am interested in taking dogs for walks, drop-in visits for dogs and cats, and overnight stays to care for pets in their homes. The care and safety of your pets and home are extremely important to me, as a pet parent to four kitties, a fish, and a snail. I am happy to adhere to your preferences and requests for your pet’s comfort and safety.

About: I’m a genuine animal lover and caretaker with 8+ years of experience caring for neighborhood dogs. I currently have a deaf white Boxer/Pitbull mix who is my best girl and has taught me so much about patience, communication, and unconditional love. We’re an active duo who loves long daily walks, playtime, cuddles, treats, and lots of affection. Training a deaf dog has given me hands-on experience with positive reinforcement, patience, body-language communication, and adapting training to each dog’s individual needs. I’ve also worked extensively with my dog on leash reactivity through play, socialization, and gradual exposure. We live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood in Wauwatosa, so we’ve learned how to confidently navigate busy walks, give other dogs space when needed, and build positive relationships with our neighborhood pups. I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of the family—with plenty of love, attention, patience, exercise, and, of course, treats! 🐾💕 I have a very consistent routine that makes it easy for me to give pets plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. We start with an early morning walk, followed by a quick potty break around lunch. I work 9–5 and work within about 15 minutes of home, so I’m able to check in easily and have plenty of flexibility throughout my workday. I’m also the boss, which gives me the flexibility to work from home 1–2 days a week when needed. Evenings are usually another nice walk, playtime, and lots of cuddles. On weekends, we love getting a pup cup, visiting the dog park, or taking a long walk on one of the nearby trails. I’m happy to include your pup in our routine or tailor their care to whatever schedule and activity level works best for them! 🐾💕 I like to follow each pet parent’s routine and preferences as closely as possible. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to follow your rules when it comes to crating, furniture, sleeping arrangements, feeding, and daily routines. I’m comfortable crate training, keeping dogs separated when needed, or allowing them on the furniture and in bed for extra cuddles—whatever makes them feel comfortable and at home. My dog, Nova, is a deaf Boxer/Pitbull mix and is fully free-roaming in our home rather than crate trained. She loves other dogs and has learned to adapt to different personalities and read other dogs’ cues through regular socialization and occasional daycare. Safety and supervision are very important to me. I have Furbo cameras throughout my home and keep a close eye on alerts throughout the day, especially when I’m away. I’m also comfortable giving dogs their own space or separating them when needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, my goal is to make their routine feel as familiar, comfortable, and stress-free as possible.
