Dog Walking Platteville

About: Not only have I worked at PetSmart in the past, I have many years of experience caring for many breeds of dogs, cats, loveable rodents, amphibians, birds, reptiles, and fish. I currently have an English Mastiff doggo along with her two feline brothers. So if you have a giant breed that needs a walk I’m ready 💪🏻 Currently I am working from home to care for family so I have a flexible schedule to walk, play and check in on your pets. Besides taking a stroll with your four paw kiddos if you need someone to pop in to check on your critters I’m your gal. I won’t shy away from what needs to be done. Including scooping the litter box, giving medications, assist in cleaning up accidents, and playtime. And I always carry a pet first aid kit just in case. Any instructions that you as the Pet Parent provides will be followed exactly. I’m a stickler for following instructions so you can rest easy knowing I will follow any instructions given to me about your pet. I promise to treat your pet like they were my own every time.

“On time and walk went well.”

About: While my experience caring for pets professionally is limited, I worked in healthcare for a short stint out of high school, delivering medical oxygen supplies to peoples homes, and setting up the equipment for patients. One of my favorite parts of the job was when the patients had pets! Frequently, their pets warmed up to me as soon as I was welcomed in to do my work, which would always brighten up my day. Of course, I have pets myself. I've been caring for my cat, Winslow, for about a year and a half now. He's fantastically affectionate and he's been an excellent companion in my home. I also help my parents with their cats, since I live with them at the moment. As one last note, at my last job I attained a CPR certification from the American Heart Association. Human focused, of course, but I stilled learned the signs of a crisis in living beings and what to do when life hangs in the balance. I hope never to have to use said skills, but if a pet has a delicate health situation, I am equipped to get them the help they need if things take a turn for the worse. I am between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is about as open as it gets. I have my own responsibilities to tend to with my cat, but my parents can take care of him if your furry friend needs me around all day. First things first is a meet and greet to make sure your pet is comfortable around me. Once your pet and I have made each-other's acquaintance, we'll talk about how you usually go about caring for them yourself so we don't throw a wrench in their habits. If you're having me spend time in your home, we'll talk about how you expect me to conduct myself while house sitting.

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, fish, birds, horses, reptiles, and exotic animals. I also volunteered at a wildlife sanctuary, where I worked with horses and a variety of exotic species. That experience taught me how to understand animal behavior, stay calm in new situations, and provide patient, attentive care. I know every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, quiet companionship, playtime, or simply sticking to their daily schedule, I’ll treat them with kindness, patience, and the same level of care I’d want for my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated from high school and currently have an open, flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Because pet sitting is my primary focus right now, I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, overnight, and weekend visits. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality so I can help them feel comfortable and keep their routine as normal as possible while you’re away. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep it clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well.

About: The things that set me apart from other sitter is I don’t really have a certificate to show I’m a professional. But I have been around a lot of dogs to know what’s good and bad for any dog. I enjoy meeting new dog knowing what they enjoy or in what house hold they grew up in. They should be treated with kindness and fairness because they deserve the world. Currently, I can do weekends just for August. Saturdays 8AM-11AM Sundays 2pm-5pm In September my availability will be open to weekdays. Thank you for understanding. In your home, I will treat your pet as on of my own with respect and patience. Making sure your pet is aware that it is loved, cared, and well looked at.

About: I have been watching after animals since I was at a really young age and have learned so much. I have watched all ages and all different breeds that have taught me that every dog is different and has different needs. I’ve trained all of my pups myself and have experienced taking care of senior animals as well! I’m currently working full time but I make my own schedule so I am very flexible on what days I work and match that with when I can be available to watch your fur babies. I am free almost every weekend. I will care for every single pet as I do my own and make sure that get everything they need. I will give them all the loving while your away!

About: I would describe myself as loving, reliable, and attentive.. I am experienced with all pet types, including seniors and special needs. Your pet will get personalized care, play, and constant updates from me. Pet care is a natural part of my own daily routine as I have my own dog & will ensure I plan my schedule around visits, walks, and check-ins to ensure your pets get consistent, loving attention. In my client’s home, I don’t want to change your pet’s routine I’d like to keep it as regular as possible when it comes to feeding, walks, playtime, and meds if needed while keeping their space clean, safe, and stress-free. My home I have a fenced yard providing your pet a safe environment to roam and play.

About: I have my own dog named Ellis who is a bull terrier mix. I have cared for and taken care of family and friend’s dogs for many years. I work as a mobile phlebotomist during the week and also take care of pets for another income source. It is something I truly enjoy doing. I will arrive on time and care for your furry friend as if it were my own. I am happy to walk, play fetch, or just play!

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and apparently they've had one for me too. Hi, my name is Sarah and I live in the Boulder area. I’ve been a lifelong pet lover and have had the pleasure of sharing my life with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, birds, and even livestock. Unfortunately, I recently became petless after my old girl passed away. This has left my love for pets homeless and I would love nothing more than to give it all to your babies. Cuddles, belly rubs, a good hike, maybe a little mud and a bath and of course some yummy treats, I’m here for it all! Whether your pet is a professional couch potato, an enthusiastic adventure buddy or just needs a little extra TLC, I have the experience and enough love to keep up with them. I’m currently working as part of a wildlife rehabilitation internship. I’m still in the first stage, so I only need to be there about 20 hours a week, which gives me lots of flexibility. This means I can work my internship schedule around what your pet needs! Early morning feedings? Done. Middle of the night potty breaks? Done. Need a midday nap buddy? Done. I’m open to both weekdays and weekends and with 24 hours’ notice, I can usually adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s routine is important and I’m happy to work around it whenever I can! My first priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible because I know that consistency can make a big difference when their favorite person isn’t around. This all starts with the bond I work to form with them from the moment I become the stranger invading their territory. I’m not just there to feed, walk and clean up messes. I’m there to make sure your pet doesn’t feel scared, abandoned or stressed while you’re away. I want you to be able to leave knowing that they’re not just being looked after, they’re being loved. That peace of mind for you also comes from my close attention to detail. No door will be left open. No change in behavior shall go unnoticed. No accident will be left unattended and no animal shall be shamed. I won’t just keep your pets alive. I’ll make sure they feel safe, secure and cared for, with lots of stories for you to come home to while you’re out creating your own memories.

About: I've always cherished the special bond between dogs and humans! Throughout my adult life, I’ve had the joy of having dog companions and even pet-sitting for friends and family from time to time. Recently, however, I went through a tough time: I welcomed a baby into my life while also saying goodbye to my sweet dog, Misty, who bravely fought a quick-moving battle with bone cancer. Losing her truly broke my heart, and though I'm not quite ready to adopt another pet just yet, I’d love the chance to help care for other dogs and get my puppy love fix! I have a very flexible schedule. As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, I can walk or check in on your dog most weekdays during the daytime. For pet sitting, I'm home all day most days, so your pet will have near-constant attention and supervision. I am available to walk or check in on your pet at any time. I offer pet boarding exclusively for kid-friendly dogs. My home features a fenced-in yard with plenty of space to run, and my family is excited to provide your pup with plenty of love and attention.

“Leah truly loves your pets! She is attentive, asks good questions and spends time with our dog. Not just a walk, play time too! I highly recommend!”

About: I understand how important our fur babies are to us, I want to welcome yours and put ease on your mind and there’s that they will get the care, and love they need while you can’t be there. I will love them like my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to work around your dog’s routine rather than making them fit into mine. I’m home throughout the day and interact with the dogs frequently for potty breaks, walks, playtime, attention, and naps. Someone is home the majority of the time. If gone less than an hour! I live in a townhouse with plenty of open grassy areas and a dog park nearby. We’re also right next to Kensington Park, which we frequent for walks and outdoor time. I have one Schnoodle named Boo who is very sweet, calm, and great company for other dogs. I work from home, so I’m almost always around to give your pet plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while they’re with me. 🐾❤️
