Dog Walking Riverwest

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life and finally got my own pup in 2023. I love all breeds, sizes and ages and cater my care specific to every dog’s needs. I am very patient and keep up with guidelines and research to ensure I’m doing my best as a dog mom and carer of animals in a daily basis. Full time pet sitter, meaning I’m home all day with flexibility every day. I love getting my steps in, so I am more than happy to take your pup on long walks! While boarding or daycare with me, your dog will join me and Killian on our walks, get treats, lick mats (with your consent of course) and cuddles. I am a trustworthy person who treats every being and environment like her own. I understand animal’s body language and barks/growls and will ensure their safety and comfort. Im an introvert, so I stay home most days and when I do step out, it’s only for a few hours and I do have a pet camera to keep an eye on the doggos. I love dogs and cats of all sizes and am able to handle big dogs on walks as my boy is 80lbs. I prioritize their safety, comfort and enrichment. I live near Roverwest, so just lmk if you’re comfortable with me taking your dog over!

About: I don't actually call myself that, that's what my friends say I am. I've literally never met a dog I didn't get on famously with. I respect the fact that they are individuals with their own needs. I don't mean to sound too self assured with the title, but I earned it from friends. Whether it's running on the Lake Michigan shore or just finding a nice sunny spot to sit for a while, your pup is going to have a fulfilling day. I have huge flexibility so no worries! A last minute trip or planned weeks in advance, we can work something out. I'm here for you! Even same day! I strive for communication as much as possible between animal and human. If they're not feeling like socializing, I don't force anything. Everyone has different needs. My experience in a dog daycare really helped me read and understand dog body language to head off any issues that may arise when you're watching 12 dogs.

“If you’re looking for a dog walker I highly recommend Melissa. She was prompt, professional, and took excellent care of my small dog. She asked relevant questions about my dog before leaving for the walk, and afterwards gave me a thorough update of the walk. I feel comfortable with her in charge of my beloved sweet furry friend!!”

About: Hi! I’m Hannah and I’m an animal lover who understands that pets are family. While I don’t have pets of my own, one of the reasons I love pet sitting is that I get to enjoy spoiling them and spending quality time with them! I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of love while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping them on their normal routine and in an environment where they feel at ease. I’ve been pet sitting for family members for the past 10 years and also spent some time dog walking during college. I’m now looking to take on some additional opportunities to spend time with and care for other pet families in my community. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your furry family members with the same care and attention I’d want for my own! I currently work a hybrid full time job, I am home 3 days a week and in office 2. Those days are flexible from week to week which allows me to be flexible with the schedule of your pets! I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when inviting someone into your home to care for your pets. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I take the responsibility of caring for your pets very seriously. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any household guidelines you provide. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and will make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure to help prevent any escapes or accidents. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy, safe, and being well cared for. My goal is to leave your home just as I found it while giving your pets plenty of love and attention!

“Jessica is amazing! Our dog Gabby stayed with her during the day and they got to enjoy nice walks, go to the park and get lots of play time. Jessica kept us updated during the day and sent us lots of cute pictures. Gabby is excited to see her again!”

“Robert was great! He was easy to work with, communicative, and understood directions clearly. He even helped clean up after my pup! I would definitely recommend him and will book with him again!”

About: I have experience dog sitting over multiple days on several occasions. I’ve cared for Great Danes, Chihuahuas, and a pug, and grew up with family dogs including a Sheltie, Australian Shepherd, and rescue Pit Bull/Boxer mix. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m currently attending UWM, my schedule has some good-sized gaps between classes, which gives me flexibility during the week for drop ins or walks. I’m also generally free Friday through Sunday I provide care in the client’s home and will follow their instructions and their pet’s normal routine. I’ll keep pets safe and supervised, respect their space, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and care.

About: I didn’t grow up with dogs at home, but I’ve always loved animals and had all kinds of pets growing up—cats, rabbits, even fish. I got my own dog about two years ago, and it’s been the best experience ever. Since then, I’ve totally fallen down the rabbit hole of all things pet care. I’m always researching stuff—like how to keep dogs mentally stimulated, what foods are best, or how to help senior pets feel comfy. I really enjoy learning how to give animals the best life possible. I may not have years of professional experience, but I care a lot, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—whether that means playtime, chill time, or just making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. *I am from Kenosha but studying in Milwaukee, will be back in Kenosha some weekends, and during break. I’m an incoming college student working part-time, so I have some flexible time to care for pets. I enjoy taking them on walks to help them stay active and happy. I have a fenced backyard that’s great for small dogs to play safely. I have a super friendly 2.5-year-old Maltese who’s up to date on his vaccines and loves making new friends. I also have a crate for pets who need a cozy, quiet spot. Whether your pet is at my place or yours, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable.

About: I had dogs growing up and own two myself now. I just love our furry friends! Familiar with lap dogs, work dogs and hunting dogs. I have a great deal of experience with oral, eye and ear medications for dogs as well as being a nurse at a local hospital by trade. I have a flexible schedule that changes week to week, so I can arrange dog services to fit my work schedule before the week begins. I have a tendency to talk to my dogs, and others dogs, like a crazy person... but I promise I am not crazy. I find the level of attention they feel coming from you is amplified when you speak to them, even if they don't understand what you are saying, lol! I have an athletic dogs as well as a lap dog myself and I am therefore used to medium and high energy levels from them. My condo unit is filled with sun and nice and warm in the colder months. Dogs are allowed to roam when I am home and also my furniture is pet-friendly. I play catch and tug of war with one of my dogs and take them on walks daily. I am happy to do all the same things with someone's pet, or more if the particular dog requires.

“Needed someone to look after my dog while I was working during the holidays and Gabi did a great job at looking after him and sending updates. Would absolutely recommend and book again!”

“Our girl, Ruth, had a great time with Emily! Emily was on time, communicative, respectful of our home, and loved on our pup! We will definitely use her again!”
