Dog Walkers in Rutland, WI

“I am so happy we found Jennifer to walk our dog. She's a very caring and responsible person. She asked great questions when we met for introductions. She was on time and let me know of schedule changes and was flexible in rescheduling. Our dog loves her. I highly recommend Jennifer to care for your pets.”

About: I’ve been helping care for my families dogs since I was little, doing things such as cleaning up after their messes, giving them their meds, taking them on walks, and simply just spending time with them and giving them the interaction they need. I’m currently looking for a part time job aside from Rover, so I’ll have as much time as needed to come help care for your pets! Nearly anytime of the day, I can come over and walk your pets, feed them, clean up their areas, or just simply spend some time with them. I’m able to come over nearly anytime and watch your pets, feed them, clean them, or whatever you need! I can give them meds, crate them, walk them, etc.

“Laura was fantastic. We did a meet and greet the day before she started, and Hambone took to her immediately. Laura was prompt and responsive. She walked our dog while she stayed at my elderly parents house, and they were thrilled to have her. She was friendly and warm. I would not hesitate to book walks with her in the future.”

About: My husband and I have both taken care of cats and dogs for most of our lives and grew up with a household of pets. We regularly watch both large and small dogs for extended family when they travel out of town. We would be happy to care for your dogs or cats and give them the same love and attention we give our own pets. Our family currently has a 6-year-old chihuahua mix (who hasn’t met a person or pup she doesn’t like). We have a fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to run and play. We’d love to help out with your pets! You can be sure they’ll get plenty of attention! I work from home, so I am available to stop over for dog walking during the day or just to check on and play with your dog or cat when you’re away. We are also available for dog boarding or daytime care at our house. I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood and one small dog that would be happy to keep your dog company. If your dog is accustomed to crating at night, I’m familiar with crate training as our dogs were trained in this way.

“Thoughtful, flexible, friendly, easy communication, patient with the pupper (& with me). My lil guy really likes her. Definitely planning to stay with Nina for awhile! She's pupper approved.”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life! I'm familiar with dogs of various sizes and ages, and enjoy spending time outside or inside playing with them. My own dog, Chloe, is a 13 year old little diva that keeps me on my toes. She has 3 pills twice a day and is spoiled with treats throughout the day. Although I have little "formal" dog care experience, I have interacted with dogs with many different personalities. I'm definitely not afraid to have to throw a chuck-it for an entire visit or walk a couple miles. The black lab I have sitted for in the past is very treat motivated for walks and needs to be convinced to go in the right direction. I will be writing my Master's thesis this summer, so I am extremely flexible with when I'll be able to visit and go for walks! This is a way to have some fun with dogs and take a break from reading literature and writing lots of pages! When completing visits and picking up for walks, I will make sure that I am on time and I enter the residence calmly and slowly, especially for the first time! When in your home, I will only use what you ask me to, and not go in any rooms not approved. I'm there to play with your pup, not have a tour - it's your personal space. If your dog is crated, I will make sure that they return to the crate before leaving. I will make sure to double check that doors are properly locked again before leaving. For walks, I'll go whatever route your pup is most used to. I know switching it up isn't ideal for some dogs - my dog, Chloe has only one route she will walk in our neighborhood. I'll let your dogs set the pace, and sniff all the smells! That's how pups see the world! I'm not afraid to walk in rain, but of course, storms are a no-go. I'll make sure that I have a water bowl and bottle for your pup, especially as it gets warm this summer.

About: I grew up on a farm, which is pretty much where my animal obsession began! I was surrounded by cows, pigs, horses, chickens, cats, dogs — basically if it had fur, feathers, or hooves, I probably helped take care of it. Growing up around so many different animals taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and how every animal has their own unique personality. Ever since then, animals have just naturally been a huge part of my life! I’m a full-time nurse with a flexible schedule, since I only work 3–4 days a week. That means I have plenty of time, energy, and attention to dedicate to your furry friends! Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I love making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I accommodate to every pets needs! I have crates, I do structured playtime and go on long walks to exert energy. I also have a friendly dogs who would love to keep your pet company.

“Elizabeth is fantastic! 😊 Lottie enjoyed her time, and we would definitely book with her again!!”

“This was Lauren's first time walking Cara. She did a wonderful job, arriving on time and taking Cara for a walk and feeding her. Cara also got a great belly rub. Thanks Lauren.”

Cynthia J.

“Maggie is fantastic! She is kind, compassionate and extremely reliable. She patiently listened to our instructions regarding our pup and was more than happy to follow everything we requested. It is clear she has a love for animals and is very trustworthy and competent. Our pup was completely comfortable with her and getting belly rubs within the first few minutes. Our furry friend was so excited to see her when she returned for another walk! I can't say enough good things!”

About: My wife and I have owned and fostered dogs (including puppies) for the past 12 years. We are adept at giving medications including injections as well. We care for each animal in our care as if they are family. My wife and I both work from home with flexible schedules. We are able to accommodate many care situations as a result including daily walks during normal working hours. We have a fenced in yard and a 7 month old dog of our own to keep your companion(s) busy. We have crates at our home to utilize for your dog(s). In your home or walking we like to use as many of the pets own products as possible for comfort.

“My dog loves Hannah! She is reliable and always shows up on time! She makes sure to let me know if she uses the bathroom and is overall very good at what she dos and I highly recommend her!”

About: Hey! My name is Paige and I am a pet sitter! I have cared for many animals in my life, both as pets of my own and the pets of others. I am passionate about animals and providing the best care possible for your furry friends. Pets are family members and I always treat them as such, with the same care and attention as I would treat any human family member. I can care for any breeds and I am experienced in administration of medication to both cats and dogs. I'm trying to earn extra cash for college and I can think of no job more perfect than to ensure that your loyal companions are always in good hands. I can stay and play with pets during the daytime, take them for walks, feed and give them water, clean enclosures, and of course give them frequent potty breaks so that they never feel uncomfortable. I provide only the best in animal care so that you can relax and know that your pets are in good hands while you're away I'm currently going to school part time, but in short bursts, so I can very easily stop in for pet care whenever it's needed! I understand how hard it can be to find someone who fits your schedule, so I always try to be flexible. I treat all of my clients pets like I would treat my own: like they're members of my own family. My cats are my entire world, and I treat everyone's pets like they're also my world.

About: I've had dogs my entire life. I absolutely love them and took care of our family pets as a child. I have a very large dog of my own and am extremely confident in my ability to control the largest of dogs. So size is no problem for me! I also have experience taking care of other animals as well, so don't hesitate to ask! I would be glad to help you with any and all your pets. I have taken some dog training classes and am still seeking more knowledge, so rest assured that I am receiving all the tools I need to be the best care provider for your pet. I am currently between jobs and have lots of time to spend on pet care. My Saturday mornings and early afternoons can be a little taken up, but I can work around that. I personally have a fenced in yard for my dogs. They get three meals a day and outside access whenever they please. Someone is always home with them. The cats are indoor only and free feed. I take my dogs for walks regularly and we like to play often throughout the day.

About: I’ve owned dogs, cats, horses for years. No job is too big. I used to work in veterinary medicine as a technician. I am comfortable with medications, injections, subcutaneous fluids, etc. I currently work full time at Labcorp. I am able to stop morning and evenings around work and then more on weekends! If you need services overnight I do try to check on my kitties before settling in with your pet for the night. In the client home I am very respectful of spaces and leave it as found. I will follow all rules both for myself and for your pet. Your and your pets trust, safety, and comfortableness is my number priority.

“Avery was terrific! She was so patient and gentle with my two older pups. Her communication was outstanding and my dogs loved her. Thank you!!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, starting with in-home dog sitting as a teenager and continuing ever since. I have extensive experience with larger breeds, including German Shepherds and other high-energy dogs, and I’m very comfortable handling strong, active personalities. I’m also a Malinois owner, so I understand the level of structure, exercise, and attention that working breeds need. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just consistent, reliable care, I’m someone you can trust to treat them like my own. In addition to dogs, I’ve also provided in-home care for cats and am comfortable with a variety of temperaments and needs. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am a part-tome firefighter/paramedic and have a fairly flexible schedule. I typically end up having a lot of days free especially this summer. Reach out with your needs and we can see what we can work out! I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for your pets. As a firefighter/paramedic, I’m trained to stay calm, aware, and handle unexpected situations quickly and responsibly. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive to behavior changes and make sure your pet is always secure on walks and in the home. I’m experienced with large and high-energy dogs, so I’m confident handling strong or reactive dogs safely. Clear communication is important to me, and I’ll keep you updated so you always feel comfortable and informed while you’re away.
