Dog Walkers in Lake Ripley, WI

“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!”

About: I love playing with and keeping dogs active and healthy, and love to treat them like they’re my own. I really like going for walks, to the park, or wherever it is that makes them smile and have fun! I have been taking care/sitting for various friends dogs for a few years, and for my moms dog since I moved out, whenever she needs help. I also had numerous dogs growing up, and have a puppy now! I am very flexible and eager to please, and I love to help anyone out to make their and their dogs lives easier/better.*while you’re on a fun vacation away, your dog will be on a fun vacation back home with me!* I teach September-June during the day so I can let out before and after work, and during the summer I am free all day long!! I always provide a gentle and calming presence when visiting a pet’s home. I want to make sure they are comfortable with my being there, so patience and calmness is something I find really important. Of course if they’re happy to play and get snuggles, I am happy and SO willing to do that too! That’s my favorite.

“Clarissa was so great with my puppy! She was responsive, responsible and resourceful about keeping him entertained when I had to be gone for four days. I recommend her highly!”

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.

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: Availability: Mondays-Thursdays I’m typically only available after 5pm. This applies to some Fridays but not all. If youre not sure just ask! I’ve loved animals since the day I was born. I have plenty of animal experience working at doggy daycares, a veterinary clinic, and even bathing dogs. I’m aspiring to make a career out of animals potentially through grooming in the near future. I would love to get to know you and your beloved pet! Im currently on my way to becoming a groomer. I’ve always wanted to work with animals and I believe getting to know the community and provide services for animals will help me down the road with my career! I have two Boston terriers at home that I adore. They have spunky energetic personality’s so I know how to handle a little chaos. My life is very tailored to my love for animals and dogs especially so I’m confident I can provide proper love and care for yours as well!

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: Hi! I’m a college student at the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point and a huge animal lover. I currently work in a doggy daycare and pet boarding facility, so caring for animals is something I do every day—not just as a hobby, but as a job I genuinely love.I have hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments through my job in doggy daycare and boarding. This means I’m comfortable with: Handling multiple dogs at once Reading dog behavior and body language Managing high-energy and shy/anxious dogs Feeding routines and administering basic care I also come from a family farm, so I’ve been around animals my whole life and am used to responsibility, early mornings, and consistent care. I currently work part time as a CNA in Stevens Point. I’m looking for the opportunity to spend more time with animals whenever I can, as they are such a big part of my life. Personally, sitting in the clients home would work best for me, as I am a college student living with a few other roommates, which can be difficult for having pets here :)

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.

About: I love caring for animals! I have always been asked to care for pets when my loved ones, friends, coworkers, or neighbors are away. I make homemade dog treats with my dogs and I’m sure they will share! I have cared for all ages of dogs, all needs of dogs. If your dog is friendly, and you would be interested in letting them play with my dog Ozzie to wear out some energy, that is an option as long as they can meet first! Nothing beats a middle of the day play date! I can be flexible in my schedule but sometimes it changes fast, I promise to keep my schedule as up to date as I can. When I am not caring for pets, I work full time as an RN. Please note all my rates are negotiable. I do work 12-13hr shifts full time as a RN. With that, I promise to be upfront and honest about my hours so we can figure out additional care if needed. My schedule varies every week so I often have free time during the week. I work every 3rd weekend. I can come by and spend time with your pets, I can take them for walks, make homemade treats with them, or just give them belly rubs and ear scratches! Let me know what you need so we can work it out.

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: I currently have 2 dogs - 1 medium size dog and 1 large dog. I am very well-versed in caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I also grew up with cats, which makes me very familiar with cat lifestyles and personalities as well. I am a nurse and a mom, so you can be assured that I will take care of your pets with the utmost care and loving presence as I do for my family and my patients. I have a flexible job which allows me to make time to help with your furry friend. I like to be able to fill my day with the joy of dog and cat snuggles. N/A - This does not apply to me due to only being available for dog walking or singular pet visits. No home care services offered.

About: I have had cats for more than half of my life and dog-sat for around the same amount of time. I used to dog sit two huskies all the time, had a dog of my own for a short time, and have experience dog sitting for labs as well! I have even taken care of a bearded dragon and snake on multiple occasions. Rover does not list animals other than cats and dogs directly but I am happy to arrange care for another animal as well, including exotic animals, for a fee that can be discussed. I am volunteering at the humane society and am very involved in caring for animals as much as I have time for. I am excited and ready to care for any and all pets that need it and will stick to specific details given. I won't hesitate to ask questions about the care of your pets when I have them to make sure your pet gets the utmost care and love while you're away or busy, and id yoy have plants that need watering, say the word and I'll do that too! I am currently full time in senior year of high-school and volunteering for two hours a week on the weekends, but I graduate in a month and will have all the time in the world to pet sit! I follow every instruction for food, water, walk, and treats and ask questions if I am unsure of something. I tend to stay longer than needed for check in visits just to give pets some company if I have the time. Unless pets are not very social, they will get all kinds of attention, and if they have any anxiety or behavioral differences I will be very careful and act however is best for them. I am very sure to be on time for visits and will be very specific to follow instructions for walking or being taken outside.
