Dog Walking River Falls

About: I have taken care of various different pets ranging in various different breeds and ages. I have grown up on a farm and come with a very good work ethic! I have lots of flexibility with your needs and have experience with all different types of dogs! From anxiety to sick and elderly I have taken care of various different needs for pets and would be honored to accommodate your needs for your pets to! I currently attend school at the university of Wisconsin River Falls so day by day my schedule varies with my classes. But I can easily run to your house between classes. My weekends are usually very open, I do work a part time job but it’s very light hours with flexibility. I have lots of experience of giving medication to dogs and doing any special needs for them. I am more than comfortable walking or letting your dog out. I can also crate them if needed.

About: I have taken care of family/friends/other people’s pets since I was 13. I can feed, let out, walk, and provide enrichment/care for animals. I also have experience with administering medication to animals as well. I am a full-time student currently in my fall semester of college. I am available weekdays for the most part, as I can fit in pet sitting with my school schedule. I will care for your pets as if they were my own (I love my dogs)! I want to ensure that your pet feels safe and comfortable in my care, while also respecting your rules, such as keeping fence gates shut or crating pets when I am not there.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, which led me to study veterinary technology at the University of Wisconsin River Falls. In recent years, I’ve worked full-time in both primary and emergency veterinary clinics, gaining hands on experience in roles ranging from receptionist to veterinary assistant. This background has given me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’m comfortable working with all types of dogs whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and anxious, stubborn, or even reactive. I also have experience handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, including those who need extra patience and care. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, while also reassuring you that your family member is safe and healthy. Pet care fits well into my routine as a full-time student at the University of Wisconsin–River Falls with a flexible schedule. During the school year, I’m mostly available afternoons and evenings, and after mid-May I’ll be more open, with a part-time job that varies week to week. I have reliable transportation and am open to overnight care, with occasional early mornings if needed. I prefer advance notice but will do my best to accommodate last minute requests. I tailor my time with each pet based on their needs to make sure they feel comfortable and fully cared for. I believe that care should be based of each pet or families needs. I plan to try and keep the pets routine as similar to what they have now as possible. I don’t want them to be confused. I would prefer to go based off the pets needs. Whether walking for 30 mins or giving medications and snuggling. I am willing to even take your canine to a dog park of choice as long as I had selected papers for vaccine information.

About: My family dog passed away in 2024, since then I’ve filled my doggy-shaped hole by volunteering at Coco’s Heart (dog rescue) and house/dog sitting for families in my area. I work from home, so I’m able to give your animals their much-deserved attention throughout the day! My experience ranges from young puppies just brought to rescue, teenage dogs, to senior dogs, all needing special attention in their own ways. I am punctual with medications, meals and bathroom breaks. I currently work from home, and while house sitting am able to provide around the clock care. For walks or part-time, my schedule may vary slightly. Maintaining and respecting my client’s home is of upmost importance when caring for pets. Keeping not only their environment clean and safe, but the owners as well is important to what I offer. Whether it’s expected or not, I will leave the place the same, if not better than you left it. I strive for frequent communication and avoid outside environments that may stress pets out.

About: I've had pets (dogs of all sizes, cats, fish) since I was 7. I currently have a dog of my own. I've trained her. I am always happy to watch, play, feed, bathe, and walk dogs. I am a stay-at-home dog owner, which means taking care of your dog is my main priority! Doggy day care and boarding is always available. I usually accept all dogs. I only refuse service if the dog has previously bit me and/or continued aggression. I have one very friendly female dog (spayed) who loves to make new friends and spend time with old ones. I keep dogs typically in the living area, uncaged. I only cage dogs if the owner requests it, and in a different room from the other dogs. I do have another helper (my fiance), as he also enjoys dogs very much. My walking route is usually around Glen Park, I change it up as needed to boost the adventure for your dog(s). **Water will ALWAYS be available and replenished for your dog(s). Food schedule based.**

“Lulu loves walks with Alexandra. She is patient with our Lulu and goes above and beyond. She even brought up our garbage cans. We recommend Alexandra 1000% and will book with her again!”

I have a 5ft fully fenced in yard that allows my dogs to get lots of playtime, including a doggy pool. I am home all day so your pet will not be left alone.

“Valerie took Kodak on some adventures this week! She’s so flexible and willing to try new things to keep our puppy entertained and happy. She took him swimming at a lake and some public lands for new scenery. Valerie is proactive and super informed about our pets needs and health. Kodak loves hanging with her :)”

About: I've grown up with dogs and have hands on experience caring for all ages, from puppies to senior pets. I’ve done puppy sitting for friends, currently volunteer with Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue, and previously volunteered at the local Humane Society. As a pre-vet student at UW-River Falls, I’m passionate about animal care and always provide safe, loving attention to every pet I meet. I also trained 4 service dogs through the FETCH program through Can Do Canines for one year. I also work at Bobtwon Pet Clinic, which has given me experience with veterinary care for the last year. As a college student, I’m excited to fit in walks and drop-ins between classes or after classes, and I’m also available on Saturdays for a couple of visits or walks. I have another job other than walking dogs and doing check-ins, so I work around those hours as well. I’m happy to care for dogs and cats for drop-ins or on walks, no matter their age—always making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

“She was wonderful! Needed someone last minute for our 2 labs on a HOLIDAY weekend and she was more than willing to help with whatever we needed to let the dogs get out and stretch their legs for a bit. Thank you! 🙏🏻”

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own pets, ensuring they’re happy and healthy. I’ve looked after my grandma's cat multiple times and other puppies and kitties for friends. I stand out from other sitters because of my deep passion for animals and my hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique needs. I love to give extensive play-times when possible, and lots of pets! Whether it’s administering medication for senior pets or providing a nurturing environment for lonely kitties, I’m committed to giving your furry friends the best care possible.

My Sundays are always open and Fridays are usually open as well. Let's work something out! I live in a safe, well-secured apartment complex beside a golf course, so plenty of room to give walks if needed. I also have two kitties with separate rooms, based on if your furry friend needs company or just some alone time! I am committed to ensuring that every pet is happy and healthy and feels safe in its environment.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since even a young age. I was 11 years old when I got my own dog to take care of as well as raise. I’ve been hooked with animals majority of my life and love them all. They are family and I treasure as well as treat them like family. I do understand medical needs so if your pet needs special medicine I have no problem working with them. I am diligent and able to administer medication as well as go on walks or anything else you need for your pet. I also love to send updates of how the fur babies are doing. 😊 I live on a farm with a fenced in dog pen available. I also have 2 friendly dogs that play well with fur babies. However, I do understand the concerns of meeting new pets and have crates for my dogs to go to for separation if requested.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the years. We love to go on walks and to the dog park with our pup and would love to do the same with yours! Our pup loves to be with friends! I work from home full time so I am able to go on walks at any time of the day and take breaks to run them in the open green space I have to tire them out! Our townhome has a ton of open green space around that we like to take our dog to run around and play fetch. We also have a lot of walking trails around that we like to go on for long walks. Our two year old borderdoodle loves to play with friends!
