Dog Walkers in Palmyra, WI

“Rachel was the perfect person to stop over and walk my two dogs! She is clearly very knowledgeable and comfortable with all different pet personalities and behaviors. One of my dogs can sometimes show aggressive behavior to other vehicles/pedestrians on walks, and Rachel handled him with the utmost care, responsibility, and comfortability. I trusted her so much with my dogs and felt very reassured leaving them in great hands. She’s very dependable and excellent at communicating. We loved her consistent updates and photos! Will definitely be using Rachel again!”

About: Providing care to all of Lake Country area! I provide attentive and loving care for your furry friends, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I go above and beyond to follow your pet’s routine, offer personalized attention, and create a fun, engaging environment. Your pets are treated like family, and I take pride in making sure they are well-fed, exercised, and showered with affection. With me, you can have complete peace of mind knowing your pets are in the best hands. I have two dogs of my own, a corgi 8 years and a lab, pit bull mix 10 years old. We walk daily and are the happiest babies I know. I want to give love to more animals and care for them the way I care for mine. My daily routine is active and flexible, which means your pup gets plenty of walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. I love being outside and staying on a consistent schedule—perfect for keeping dogs happy and cared for! Caring for pets, whether in your own home or a client’s home, involves a combination of regular attention, proper feeding, exercise, grooming, and emotional care. Here’s a breakdown of how I might approach pet care depending on the service I offer: 1. Pet Sitting (In Client’s Home or Own Home) • Feeding: Follow the pet’s regular feeding schedule and adjust based on dietary needs or special instructions from the owner. • Exercise: Ensure that pets get enough physical activity through walks, playtime, or other engaging activities. • Grooming: Brush pets regularly to maintain their coat and avoid matting (especially for long-haired breeds). Bathe them as needed, depending on the breed and the owner’s preferences. • Health & Safety: Monitor the pet’s health for any changes, such as a decrease in appetite, lethargy, or signs of illness. Administer any medications as directed by the owner. • Companionship: Provide attention, playtime, and comfort to ensure the pet doesn’t feel lonely or anxious. This might include cuddling, talking to them, or simply being around. • Cleaning: Ensure the pet’s living environment is clean, including regularly changing litter boxes for cats or cleaning up after dogs. 2. Dog Walking • Exercise: Provide regular walks to ensure that the pet gets the necessary physical and mental stimulation. The duration and intensity of the walk depend on the breed, age, and health of the dog. • Safety: Ensure the dog is safe during walks by using a sturdy leash, avoiding busy traffic areas, and monitoring for any signs of discomfort. • Playtime: If there is time, include some interactive play (e.g., fetch or tug-of-war) during the walk to engage the dog mentally. 3. Pet Boarding (In Your Home) • Comfort: Provide a safe, comfortable space with a designated sleeping area, food, and water station. • Socialization: If appropriate, allow pets to socialize with other animals (especially if they are accustomed to it). • Routine: Keep the pet on a similar routine as they would have at home, with regular meals, walks, and bathroom breaks. 4. General Tips for Pet Care • Communication: Keep the pet owner updated regularly on their pet’s well-being, sharing any observations, concerns, or funny moments. • Emergency Preparedness: Know where the nearest vet is and be prepared for any emergencies, including having a list of the pet’s medical details and contact information. By focusing on the pet’s specific needs and preferences, both physical and emotional, I can ensure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for.

About: Hi! I have taken care of cats, dogs, chickens & lizards. I feed them, enjoy walking them & spending time with all of them. Thanks. I currently work full time and this is something I do part time, on the side. My full time job is flexible but I would need notice to adjust my work schedule.I can’t promise I can do this all the time… I like to do a meet n greet first so I can meet the family, let the pets sniff me & have some interaction. I follow the regular routine when I am in the clients home. If they are crated, I crate them. If they need to be let out in the middle of night & that is what the owner does, I let pet out…I make sure they are well taken care of. I treat them as they are my own.

“Lizet is upbeat, kind, and seems to genuinely care about our dog. She's easy to work with, has a flexible schedule, and we're thankful to have her!”

“Susana was hired to be our dogsitter/walker during our daughter's wedding at a campground in East Troy, WI. She was asked to attend the wedding and help us with our Great Dane Molli who was part of the wedding party. Susana came out to us and stay by Molli's side for the time that we wanted to socialize with family and friends and eat dinner at the reception. Molli seemed to really like Susana and was super comfortable with her immediately. We will definitely consider having Susana help us with Molli next time we are staying in the East Troy/Lake Geneva area.”

About: I have lived in a household with a dog for most of my life. My first dog was a German shorthaired pointer mix named Sheba. After that I had a Newfoundland named Monkey and a mixed breed medium pup named Lidoo. I love taking care of animals! I was in charge of taking my dogs for walks regularly. I love playing fetch and tug of war with them! I also enjoy dogs who are very large but think they are lap dogs. I give pets (mine and others) LOTS of love! Unfortunately, I do not currently have a dog and that is one of the reasons I want to walk and take care of other peoples pets! I am good with both large and small dogs and can provide rigorous exercise for them. I have also had cats all my life, so I am skilled in taking care of them as well. I hope you pick me to take care of your pets! I am currently going to college full time, however a lot of my classes are online. This allows me plenty of time to care for your pets! As I would be coming to your home to care for your fur baby, they will be in a comfortable and secure environment already and I will keep them free from harm 100% of the time.

I also have previously owned a pitbull mix, and now own a German Shepherd and Husky. I have worked at 4 different doggy daycares so I am well versed in taking care of all breeds of dogs. Currently my only job is pet sitting so I am free every day of the week to take care of your animals, unless of course I already have a job going on for that week Whenever I am watching someone's animal in their home I make sure to constantly play with the dog, make sure they go outside often, and make sure that animal is happy while I am there.
