Dog Walking Mount Mary

About: After graduating from Harvard, I moved from the Northeast to Wisconsin to train for speed skating. I grew up as a critter kid: my dad was a veterinarian and my mom worked in science museums, so I was raised around all sorts of animals, from birds, axolotls, and geckos to furry dog and cat companions. Since my move, I have been "dog-lonely" and am looking to show your animals some love. My family has always had huskies, so I am comfortable around big, goofy, energetic, and sometimes stubborn dogs. I love taking dogs for walks, but even more so, running with them if they are able. As a professional photographer, I also offer pet photography so you can keep permanent memories of your scaley, feathered, and furry family members. I am a speed skater, so my days consist of morning and evening workouts. I'm available during the day (10am-3pm) and evenings (after 7pm) to take care of your pets. I will always ask for a meet and greet before caring for your pets. My pet care will occur in your home and neighborhood. For walks, I will only take one household's dogs for a walk at a time. I can follow detailed instructions to a T and will maintain your animal's routines while you're away. I can be counted on in an emergency and know what a vet emergency looks like, and you can expect clear and timely communication from me around the care and health of your animals.

About: I’ve had dogs as part of the family my entire life. I was the trainer of of all our puppies while I was growing up. Now I have two dogs, one with special needs and the other that needs extensive training with reactivity. I can manage medications, reactive walkers, as well as give as many belly rubs and head scritches as needed! I have cared for dogs from puppy to senior. I currently have a remote job that has a lot of flexibility. My schedule does vary and is rather accommodating. I will have my calendar updated accordingly for availability. At this time I will only be providing services at your home since I do have a reactive pup at mine. Also due to that, I will be only providing drop ins and walks.

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.

“Krystal has done a fantastic job taking our high-energy dog on walks. She’s prompt and shares details about how things went afterwards. She’s also been great about following any specific instructions or requests. I feel very confident leaving our dog in her care and highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of other’s pets as long as I can remember. From watching pets for friends, family, and neighbors to having my own! I take pride getting to know the dogs in my care and I would love to get to know yours. My aim is to provide a safe and happy environment. I'm recently retired, so I'm able to spend quality time with your pup. Being retired also helps with separation anxiety if your fur baby can’t be left alone for very long. There is lots of space in my first floor apartment, and your pup has quick access to the outside. I live near lots of trails and a large walking area, so they will never be bored.

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.

“Michelle was a lifesaver for a last minute booking. Great correspondence, timely arrival and excellent skills with my dog. Will definitely book again. Thank you!”

“Chelsea too very good care of my dog - hanging out when he preferred a cuddle over a walk or spending time outside when that was his preference. All the while, she kept me up to date with messages and photos.”

Becca S.

“Monsserath does great with my shy and anxious dog. She is very patient and understanding and has so much love to give my pup. She is super reliable and I can tell looks forward to seeing my pup every week! I am so lucky to have connected with her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life whether it be my own pets or other people’s pets. I love cats and dogs and have experience in caring for pets with health problems and pets who are a little bit older. I do well with all different sizes and breeds of cats and dogs. I am an athletic person so taking pets on walks is a great workout for both me and your pet! I work off my own schedule so anytime outside of 10pm-6am I can be there to take care or walk your pet. I am free any day of the week. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. Any instructions will be followed to completely. For walks I know of many parks and for longer walks trails.

“Very pleased and relieved that Montserrat has been able to walk my fur babies. She is great and they love her!”

“We have hired Andrew as a daily walker for our dog while we are at work. He does an excellent job, communicates well, and always arrives on time.”

About: I have taken care of small, medium and large dogs (mine and others) including seniors. I have also cared for cats and an exotic pet (bird) multiple times. I currently work "gig" work so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am generally an early riser so early mornings are not an issue for me! Whatever care and agenda you prefer for your pet - that's what my plan would be! Knowing that your sitter will follow your plan will give you peace of mind and your pet the best experience possible.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 9 and currently have my own dog. I pet sit for coworkers and friends when they go out of town. I've raised puppies as well as cared for senior dogs. I work from home 3 days a week. I am able to check in on or walk dogs on my lunch break. On weekends I am available, I can check in or walk any time of the day. I have experience with dog and cat behavior, including reactive dogs. When I check in on your pet I will ensure they have enough food and water, play with them, and if requested I will take dogs for a 30 minute or longer walk.

“Melainie is so great with our chihuahua mix, Bowser. Bowser is a great judge of character and is very selective with who he will allow to rub his belly and he loved Melainie the second he met her!”

“We have been working with Haani for a month so far. She's so great with Gus! Since she started working with Gus, he's gotten better at understanding and listening to commands and not pulling when he's on his leash. He's always so happy to see her! Haani communicates well and is really reliable. We're excited to keep working with her.”
