Dog Walking Nora

About: I have 2 large rescues that have been a part of my family for the last 9 years. When I lived in apartments, I helped watch other neighbors' dogs and always enjoyed getting to know them and learn about their routines, hobbies, and quirks. While my family never had a dog growing up, I love being around them now and could never go back to a life without them! Since I work part time at a local farm, and am only just getting my own farm up and running, I have a relatively flexible schedule from week to week, especially during the winter, early spring, and late fall. I am thorough when it comes to taking care of my dogs' health and safety, as well as the health and safety of all pets that are in my care. I am always vigilant about traffic while walking dogs near any roads, and am always careful of walking them near other animals. When in another's home I am respectful of boundaries and rules and always clean up after myself or any messes that a pet may make.

About: I have loved and cared for animals of all kinds since I was five years old. Currently, I am a proud pet parent to three dogs and an indoor/outdoor cat. I am also the go-to pet sitter for my extended family, regularly caring for a wide variety of pets—from my younger brother’s Husky to my older brother’s three cats and Miniature Poodle, as well as my parents’ two senior dogs (including one with special needs who wears a leg brace). My oldest dog, Rizzo, a Chihuahua mix, celebrated her 15th birthday in May 2026 with a full "Quinceañera" alongside our human and fur family! Over the years, caring for Rizzo through various health challenges has made me exceptionally comfortable with special-needs pet care. When she was 9, she underwent successful CCL surgery, followed by a full recovery supported by daily physical therapy. At age 13, she overcame IMHA following her annual vaccinations; after a year of dedicated care, she is now in full remission and thriving. Rizzo shares our home with two loving, playful pup siblings: Mogie (11) and Buddy (5). We also have a sweet rescue cat named Gizmo, who joined our family after a neighbor passed away. Known locally as the "Neighborhood Cat," Gizmo loves fishing on docks, making friends with neighborhood kids, and coming inside each evening for dinner and snuggles. All of my pets are wonderful with children. As a licensed Foster Parent since 2024 specializing in infants and toddlers, I maintain a safe, nurturing home environment. Having recently stepped away from a high-stress career, I am dedicating my time to work I truly love: providing attentive, high-quality care to both children and animals. Note, I am Cat and Dog First Aid and Adult, Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED through the Red Cross. I hope to meet you soon! Jena I am currently on a career sabbatical, which gives me complete flexibility during regular business hours while my foster children are at school or daycare. I am available for drop-ins and pet walks anytime between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Safety, loving care, and routine are my top priorities during every drop-in visit and walk. I genuinely adore all animals and treat every pet with individual affection, patience, and warmth. I am happy to adapt to the unique needs of senior or special needs pets, ensuring proper medication administration, gentle mobility support, or a calm environment. I strictly follow your guidelines for feeding, walking routes, and house rules. After every visit, I will secure your home, send a detailed update with photos, and share feedback on how your pet did so we can continuously coordinate and fine-tune future visits.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses, and have experience in oral med administration with both cats and dogs. I have a soft spot for the big dogs (they're lap-sized if you commit!). I run half marathons so getting good exercise in will be no problem (even in Wisconsin weather!). I'm currently training for distance running, so you can expect great exercise for your pet! Whether it's a long meandering sniff-ari or an intense loop around the neighborhood, I would love to know what fits your dog best. As I'm in your home, your instructions are paramount. You know your pet better than anyone, and I am happy to keep their normal routines in place. I like getting to know each animal and their unique personality, and while I *love* giving snuggles and pets, I understand some pets prefer their space.

About: I am currently working from home with my with my 10 year old puppy. My husband works out of the house, and my kids go to school during the day. I love going on long walks and playing catch in the yard. When your dog stays with me, they will have they certainly won’t feel alone! If you’d like your dog to have more interactions with other dogs, I would be happy to bring our dog, Bailey, on our visits to your home (or I can leave her home). I am looking forward to getting to know your pet and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or concerns. I work from home on Tuesdays & Fridays, which allows me time to care for animals during that window, or on the weekends as well! I have a fenced in yard that would keep you pup safe for potty breaks. We have a 10 year old dog who loves to cuddle up on the couch and play tug of war too!

“Jackie is consistent and punctual she treats our lalu as her own takes good care of him and gives him a good walk. Lalu really looks forward to her walking him”

About: My first job was as a kennel attendant at a local vet clinic where I learned a lot about animal care. I have also worked at a boarding facility. Since working there, I have started my own pet sitting service called “Bodens Buddies”. I started this service for a number of reasons; one, to give my dog Boden unique social opportunities, and two, because I believe pets thrive in a home setting even if it’s not their home. I am currently working part time as I continue my college studies, so I have plenty of time to commit to your pet(s)! My schedule is flexible! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog of my own. I also have two cats who can be spaced in another area if needed.

“Elizabeth was great with our dog Cash giving us updates with pictures and giving him nice long walks. Will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going for a long walk, playing outside, or just keeping them company at home. I’m active and love being outdoors, so I’m especially happy to take dogs on walks and give them plenty of exercise and attention. I’m dependable, communicative, and will treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I’d want someone to give mine. I’m comfortable following specific feeding, walking, and care routines, and I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to fit pet care into my week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the week and on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and schedule! I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m attentive, responsible, and happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention.

About: I’ve been around, owned, and loved dogs and cats my entire life in addition to working at dog daycares since I was in high school. I love working with and caring for animals, and pride myself on my patient and gentle approach. I’m currently a student and working part time, as well as being a mom to a cat and dog of my own. I love caring for animals, and treat them all as if they were my own! Safety and quality care first, always! Pets in my home are treated with so much attention and love while maintaining firm boundaries and structure to keep them safe. Cleanliness and organization is also extremely important to me! Each pet is an individual and should be treated as such, and met with patience and respect.

“Elizabeth is a very professional and caring dog walker. My dog looked forward to her visits. She follow directions perfectly and asked pertinent questions. I will definitely book with her again.”

About: I have taken care of multiple different breeds of dogs! Small, medium and large! I also have experience with farm animals as well horses, cattle, goats etc. I’ve also had house with combinations of dogs, cats and horses. I’ve also had experience with epileptic dogs as well and having to give medication to pets as well. Although I do not have my own when I am house sitting I make sure to schedule my personal life around the pets I am watching. When pet sitting the pets I am watching are my number one priority. My work schedule during the week I typical work 8-9 hours a day and on the weekends I work I typically work 10-11 hours days. Even with working if the pet requires walks I will make sure they are getting the exercise they need before and after work regardless of the time. I am a very trustworthy pet sitter I have clients that are okay with friends or significant others coming over and I have others who are not, either way I fully respect that clients choice. I always make sure to clean up after myself and make sure the house is clean before leaving. When it comes to the animal I will not push the animal to do anything it does not want to do like going for a car ride, or anything else that may make the pet nervous. I do like to meet the animal and pet parents before hand just to make sure we have a good connection and trust.

About: I’ve owned dogs, cats, horses for years. No job is too big. I work in veterinary medicine as a technician. I am comfortable with medications, injections, subcutaneous fluids, etc. I currently work full time at Spring Harbor Animal Hospital. I am able to stop morning and evenings around work and then more on weekends! If you need services overnight I do try to check on my kitties before settling in with your pet for the night. In the client home I am very respectful of spaces and leave it as found. I will follow all rules both for myself and for your pet. Your and your pets trust, safety, and comfortableness is my number priority.

About: I’m all of my friends and families first choice to watch their pets when they are out of town. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds of dogs and many cats as well. I’ve always had dogs in my life growing up so I’m very familiar with reading their body language and knowing how to care for them. I work full time but have a lot of flexibility to check on your pet throughout the day and have the opportunity to work remote as well I’ve never a met a pet that didn’t like me. I’m very good at reading dogs body langue and knowing what they need. Cats also like me and I’m good at reading their body language as well

About: Hi everyone! My name is Alexandra but I tend to go by Lexy. I have had dogs and cats and so many other animals in my household since before I was even born. My mom grew up on a big farm so she was used to being around animals. She wanted to make sure she had the same experience for my brother and I. I have been a part time dog sitter through word of mouth mainly. I just recently graduated from college with my bachelors in Public Health and am looking for a fun filler throughout my summer while I plan next steps. Animals (especially dogs) are my safe space. So please, entrust in me with your fury friend and I promise you will not regret it! I am currently only working part-time on weekends. So schedule is extremely open and extremely flexible. I am also available to do over nights as I have someone at my house who can watch my animals! I will not be offering any services at my own home as I have a pretty full house of animals. To sustain their comfort I want to keep this separate. At my house I have a fenced in yard but a large yard outside that fence the dogs are able to roam. They have an electric fence so they know how far they are supposed to go.

About: I have been around animals since I was very little. I have had pet responsibilities since the age of four. Growing up, I had tons of cats and kittens, bunnies, turtles, dogs, fish, chickens, you name it. After graduating high school I adopted my dog Sam from a shelter. I love taking him on walks or runs every day. Or letting him roam around at the dog park. He provides me with tons of enjoyment every day! I am currently an online college student working very hard to be financially independent. I work Monday-Friday 8:15-5:15 I am currently available on weekdays after 6:00pm and weekends if I am available! I occasionally and busy on the weekends with events and such. I live in an apartment with my boyfriend. My apartment complex has a dog park that I take my dog to and I can take your dog too if requested. I care very deeply about the care of my dog and other animals. If I could, I would adopt more animals!

About: I’m an incoming veterinary student and pet owner. I’ve grown up taking care of my cat and dog and love spending my time with animals. I have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past 3 years. Daily dog walks are an important part of my routine and I have a flexible schedule. I love meeting new people and animals on the island! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and am an active person. I also keep my dog leashed and am amenable to dog’s specific needs.
