Dog Walkers in Platteville, WI

About: I’ve always had a pet my entire life and am used to having to train younger dogs. I’ve taken care of my own dog for five years now and potty trained her as well as feed her everyday. I also have dog sat for close friends and neighbors who need help. I’m used to a little bit of a hectic house and love getting to know each dogs different personality! I really enjoy going on walks and even better if it’s with a dog! I take my dog on walks often and like snuggle time just as much. I always feed her in the morning and the evening and always check to make sure she has enough water. In clients home I will always be careful to respect boundaries since my main job is just to care for the dog. I will of course make sure that the house stays as it is and that both me and the dog are comfortable together. In my own home, I will do my best to make the dog feel comfortable with me and my family.

“Ellie loves all animals! She always takes great care of our dogs and is very responsible. Our dogs love her and are happy when she is around. We can always count on her to feed them, play with them, walk them, and snuggle with them! She is the best!”

About: I have experience with both cats and dogs! I currently own two wonderful male cats who are emotional support animals. I would love to watch your animals as my cats would love a friend to play with. Walking dogs is also a huge hobby of mine; not only to get exercise myself, but for the dog to get fresh air for a period of time. I would make sure your animals are well fed, watered, and taken care of to your liking. As a pet owner, I understand how scary it may be to put your baby in someone else's care. I would love to ease that stress by doing whatever possible to care for your animal. I would love to also do drop by visits for those who may not be comfortable leaving your animal at someone else's house. Not only do they need taken out every now and then to use the bathroom, but dogs are very social animals that need periodic attention. As shown in my reviews, I have the experience to give the best care possible to your pet! During the week, I have a couple shifts that are 8 hours long from 2:30-10:30 so I will not accept boarding or drop ins during that time frame, but periodically do drop ins before I head off to work. I give care to your pets however their normal routine is - we will complete a meet and greet before booking to go over this.

“Throughout our time at Iowa State, I’ve seen how dedicated Maddi is to the animals she cares for. She treats every pet like it’s her own and provides exceptional care and support. I’ve trusted her with my pets and am left extremely satisfied with their care every time. She provided me with pictures, asked questions in case she was unsure about something, and constantly updated me to provide a a sense of ease. I HIGHLY recommend considering Maddi as your pet caregiver :)”

About: I have cared for many pets since I was very young. I am experienced with even medically needy animals. Animals are my passion. Their love is unconditional and so is mine for them. I work a flexible schedule so I can work most anything work. Long trips, short trips, regular schedule. You name it I’ll make it work. Working in clients home is preferred over using my own home. Helping your pet to feel comfortable is my main priority and keeping their environment consistent will help that.

About: Although I have no professional experience in dog care, there has never been a day in my life where I haven’t owned a dog, and I can’t see myself ever not having one. I love all animals, but dogs are the best. They are a loyal best friend and I believe they deserve the best care possible. I will ensure your dog receives that and make sure it feels as loved as if you’re there. I am very organized, active and trustworthy and you can count on me to give your pup the best care possible. I am a football player at UW Platteville and I have a 3.2 gpa, so I know the hard work that goes into being successful and I will work my hardest to be a successful dog sitter. Pet care is a daily thing for me. I have a black lab who is full of energy and can be very needy at times so I am experiencing in dealing with that and constantly doing what is needed to meet her needs. I like the spoil my dog at home she is constantly getting pets and cuddles. When she does get hyper i’ll play tug of war and fetch with her either in the yard or the living room and she loves it. I feed her twice a day and give her treats for going to the bathroom outside. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make sure your dog is as comfortable as possible and all their needs are met. I have also had experience dog sitting for a few of my neighbors and I treat those dogs the same way I would my own.

“Patrick, or Patty as he likes to be called, is one of the best dog dads that I know. His Melly is the sweetest, most well-trained dog you can find. He has watched my dogs several times; he plays with them, takes them for hikes, and even picks up their poop. Great guy- can't recommend him enough.”

“Mamie was just what my babies and I needed! Thank you for being so communicative and caring! I can tell from the pictures they had a ball with you!”

About: Dogs have been part of my family since childhood. Friends and family entrust me with caring for their pets. I’m comfortable walking them, feeding them, can give medication, play with them. I am retired and have flexibility with my time. I am usually available any day during the week and am willing to help you on weekends at times. I will walk your dog, feed them, play with them, and give medication if needed. If they have other needs we can discuss this. I will treat them as one of my family.

About: I have had pets my entire life, dogs being my favorite! Since I have a love for all dogs not just my own, I used to volunteer at a local animal shelter back home where I would take dogs out for playtime or on long walks. Through having my own dogs and working with shelter dogs, I have gained experience with different sizes, ages, and breeds of dogs. I recently moved away from home for college and a part of my life is missing without dogs. This has made me want to start caring for other people’s dogs to have that part of my life back! Currently, I am a part-time, online college student also working part-time evenings here in Platteville. My work schedule varies weekly, but I am still flexible and will be available mornings and early afternoons throughout the week and some weekends. With my great communication skills, I will be transparent, ask questions about your pet, and give you updates as needed. I will give your dog love and affection as if they’re my own!
