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.

“Professional at the highest level. Great communication and took very good care of my pup. Can’t recommend enough. Will definitely utilize her services again.”

About: Animals have always been my passion, and I have dedicated both my professional career and my ongoing education to ensuring they live their best lives. Having spent two years working in doggy daycare, I have had the privilege of supporting dogs of all ages and temperaments through their daily routines. I find genuine joy in providing the specific type of attention each dog needs to feel secure and happy, from managing puppy "zoomies" to honoring the slower, comfortable pace of a senior companion. By choosing to work with me, you are welcoming a dedicated, trained, and compassionate advocate into your pet's life who will ensure they feel right at home while you are away. I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own, and I am committed to making your pet’s time with me a positive and stress-free experience. I understand that every pet family has a unique rhythm, and my primary goal is to maintain that consistency while you are away. Because pet care is my full-time passion, I offer the flexibility required to adapt to your specific needs—whether your dog thrives on a structured routine of midday walks or requires the comfort of a consistent presence during overnight house-sitting. I pride myself on being highly adaptable to your schedule, ensuring your furry friend receives attentive, professional supervision and companionship that mirrors the care they are used to at home. I am committed to making your time away stress-free by providing reliable, dedicated, and high-quality care whenever you need it. In my home, my dogs are treated like family, just as all dogs deserve. They receive love and attention, and I cherish the quality time we spend together. Whenever I was dog sitting, I made sure the dog felt comfortable with both me and its surroundings. I also ensured that all their needs were met and that they were thriving. If the dog enjoys walks, they will be given one daily.

About: Professional dog trainer with extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, offering calm, reliable, and structured care tailored to each dog’s unique needs and routine. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life, so your pet will seamlessly fit into a routine that prioritizes structure, enrichment, and calm, attentive care. Safety is my top priority. Dogs are cared for in a calm, controlled environment with a fully fenced yard, thoughtful supervision, and crating available when appropriate or requested.

“AJ was professional and friendly and took time to meet my new rescue dog before starting service. AJ took extra care of my dog, providing lots of care for him and communicating with photos and updates after their visit. I would highly recommend AJ!”

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.

“Kennedy took great care of my golden!! She was very communicative and attentive and very pleasant to work with. I always came home to a happy pup! Highly recommend!”

About: Hello, my name is May, and I use any pronouns. I grew up taking care of animals, and I have wanted to care, protect, treat, and defend them since I could breathe. I am a certified dog trainer and I have multiple years of professional animal care experience outside of Rover. My interests are medicine, welfare, conservation, education, and ecology. My skills are grooming, lodging, daycare, training, education, and medical care. I have even worked with dogs from k9 and search & rescue teams. I have experience caring for dog, cat, fish, turtle, chicken, guinea pig, lizard, and bird. I am a cat mother and fingers crossed a dog mom someday soon as well. I can take care of your pets/companion animals from any age, breed, or size. You name it, and I will be there for them. Common questions: What if my companion animal has a medical condition? You let me know what they need, and I can accommodate them, even if they have behavioral struggles. I am patient, understanding, and gentle. What if they need medications? No need to worry. I can administer medications via subcutaneous, transdermal, oral pills or liquids, or even instramuscular per perscription instructions. What if they are high energy? High energy animals have high activity levels, which means they require frequent exercise and attention. To accomodate these needs, I can be available for multiple daily visits, walk them, and even curate a training plan for them. Your animal family members deserve the best. They deserve a professional. Not just someone who loves them, but one who you can trust to care for them in every capacity while you're away in safe hands. My skills: ✨️ Administering medications (via any route; Oral liquid or pill, IM, SQ, Transdermal) ✨️ Grooming/Bathing ✨️ Nail Trims ✨️ Meal Prep & Feeding ✨️ Animal Behavior ✨️ Training ✨️ Medical Care Rover is something I fit into my life whenever I can while I work & continue education. Some seasons are busier than others, and that's normal. Companion Care is already a part of my daily life, so these requests come as a breeze for me. I try to update my calender monthly, but if things don't look right, if your other sitter isn't available, or if you just need someone ASAP, you are always free to message me any time in the app. I try to reply as soon as possible, but sometimes I don't recieve notifications, so it may take me a few hours to reply in some instances. My calender should reflect my un-availability at minimum. If you have any questions, please message me as I am flexible and will accommodate where possible. Keeping things fear-free as much as possible is a priority for me. I like to keep things calm, relaxing, and easy or neutral. When I meet them for the first time during the meet & greet, I wait for them to come up to me. It's what they are comfortable with. This helps everyone establish trust and familiarity. My hope is that I can be your go to whenever you need companion care. Sometimes, I use miracle tones to help with fear, it is soothing and calming for all. Wildlife or "Pet" TV is a great option to add to their environment while you are away as it helps them feel less alone and gives them something to interact with. I like to stick to a rhythm or routine. As I enter their palace, I introduce myself gently by using a high pitched soft tone and a treat. Then, I let them sniff me out before they welcome me through. Any grievances? No siree! Next, I like to start feedings and medications after activities. But, I take it at their pace. Afterwards, I will take care of cleaning & notes before my departure from their palace. What I value during my bookings: 💖Trust/Familiarity (Completing the Meet&Greet & sticking to a rhythm or routine) 💖Safety (Keeping doors locked) 💖Compassion (Always stay kind, patient & considerate) 💖Comfort (Temperature in the home, toys, beds) 💖Respect (Their boundaries and space) 💖Quality care/Ensuring all goals are met (Fulfilling all visit requirements) I will not force anything.

“On time and walk went well.”

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, my days are wide open so I'm able to be eith your pets as much as needed. I will do everything I can to make sure any routine for your furry friend is kept in place while you're away. No food routine or ritual is too complex.

About: I have grown up with many different kinds of pets. Taking care of them feeding them and exercising them. I have experience with dogs cats ducks bunnies and fish. To me pets are part of the family and should be loved and cared for. I'm currently an online college student meaning I have plenty of time to drop in on your little furry companion. Wantings and evenings are my preferred drop in time but afternoons are possible if you prefer. I have a fencing yard with two friendly dogs just in case you're furry companion needs a friend. I have extra crates and leashes if you cannot provide your own.

About: I am a Colorado Native that is new to Laramie within the last year. I have lived with and taken care of animals my entire life. I have worked on my grandpa's ranch and owned animals from fish to reptiles to cats and dogs as well critters. I have experience pet sitting and love getting to know and caring for all forms of pets. It is important to me that the dogs/ pets I watch get as much interaction and stimulation as they need. It can be stressful for all animals to not have their family members home, so giving them the comfort they need until you return is a top priority for me. Thank you for reading and I hope to hear from you. I work the standard Monday - Friday 9am-5pm from home, but I can be available for drop-ins and walks. Early mornings, mid day or evenings. Also available weekends. I am an active person and can do long or short walks, or stay in for a while and play with cats and get their energy out. I love to teach new fun tricks when I can and make sure I do more than just check their food and water.

About: I grew up in a household with both large and small dogs, from 10-pound terrier mutts to Saint Bernards. My parents taught me the responsibility and compassion required to care for pets. Over the past two years, I’ve worked at dog kennels, gaining confidence in handling aggressive, fearful, and anxious dogs. I also have a shepherd mix named Belle Beretta, who is almost three years old and has had her own struggles with anxiety, which have been a process to overcome. Outside of work, you’ll find me in the mountains with Belle and my boyfriend. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday: - During my lunch break at my current kennel, I have time for puppy cuddles and up to an hour-long walk, location permitting. For the rest of the week: - I'm available with flexibility, as long as there's clear communication. I'm all about sticking to a routine! I'll make sure your pets feel cozy and cared for, and I'll keep you updated with plenty of pics, vids, and texts! ❤️

About: Currently just a kitty mom. Ive had dogs all through my life and believe rescue is the best breed. Every pet deserves to have a fun playful time even if its just a quick drop in. I have also administered medication to dogs and cats. I am currently working remotely and have flexibility in my schedule. Typically early mornings and afternoons are best. We can modify as needed for on-going care. I will ensure the home is locked back up. In addition, treat your home with respect and privacy.and of course the main reason I am there, your pets will be treated with love and kindness.

About: With over 25 years of hands-on pet care experience, I treat every dog like they’re my own family. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies learning the world to senior pups who need a gentler touch. My approach is focused on safety, patience, and creating a calm, positive environment that helps every dog feel secure and understood. Work full-time and wanting to assist others by taking care of their dogs on my weekend. Very flexible and can assist as much as I’m needed. I’ve had dogs growing up my entire life. When someone welcomes me into their home I will treat their dogs like I would my own.

“We are so lucky to have found Alexandria as our daily dog sitter/walker. Mabel loved her immediately and is excited to see her for their every day walks. Even if the weather doesn’t suit a walk, they spend the whole time playing or Mabel gets spoiled with pets and cuddles 🩶 I love the daily reports in the Rover cards that’s are detailed with multiple cute pictures as well. I would give Alexandria my highest recommendation!”

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 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!
