Dog Walkers in Silica, WI

“I appreciated the report card I got each day, telling me all the details of the walk! Anita and her baby did a world of good for Daisy- they made her owner’s absence bearable. Thank you, Anita!”

About: I’ve had over two years of experience making sure that families are reassured and guaranteed that their pets are loved and in good hands when families are away Pet care would fit into my daily life, I currently have two dogs and I’ve cared for them for over three years now every day I have a fenced yard when I am taking care of animals at my own house and have the ability to make sure that there is green space for them to get some exercise.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. We live in the country and we always had at least one dog at all times. Currently we have a 10 lb Chihuahua mix, Joker, and a 155 lb mastiff, Leo. We take many hikes and walks all around Wisconsin. They love going up north with us! I enjoy having dogs that are always up for an adventure with me, even if it’s just around the block. When a friend mentioned Rover I was super excited to try it out because it would give me a chance to interact with other dogs in the area. I also love being outdoors and walking/hiking. Rover will give me a fun excuse to get outdoors and exercise, with an added benefit of a furry friend!

About: I grew up having dogs around and they are my favorite animal! My family has been fortunate to adopt 3 dogs, so far, in my life: a Black Lab-Dachshund, a Bassett Hound, and an Australian Cattle Dog; all very different dogs! I also have the experience of watching family & friends animals over the years! Having been around so many different types of dogs has taught me how many different behaviors and reactions they have depending on the environment or people it is/has been surrounded by. At the end of last year I got married and moved to Fond du Lac and have been looking at some part time work. I am very flexible with scheduling right now! I will ensure your pets comfort, safety, and well-being by learning their daily schedules and rules by their owners. I understand that comfort, safety, and trust comes in three parts, the owner, the pet, and myself; and will respect all parties.

About: I have owned and watch dogs but also cats. I have a love for animals and I get very excited meeting new ones. It’s the best experience to me. I’m available anytime. I would be able to do last minute set ups. I’m sometimes away from home around 2-4 pm but that’s not often Everyone in the house loves animals, especially dogs. The most love is given like their our own. We get very excited and take them out for long walks. My dog has been around puppies before and he loves to be around other dogs.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 8 years old. It has always been a passion of mine. I would always walk the neighbors dog’s and my family always relied on me to take care of their animals . I absolutely love animals. I am a volunteer at the local Rescue Group. I occasionally foster dogs that come from New Mexico that were going to be euthanized for space. I am a dog owner that will love your pets like my own. I have been a owner and dog sitter for years. I am flexible and available to customize to your dogs needs. I offer long walks, feedings, and lots of love and company. My dogs Hudson and Sadie are my pride and joy. I spend a lot of time outside with them and inside enrichment toys and puzzles. Sadie is a Blue Heeler and she needs lots of mental stimulation. I also have a kitten named Oreo who thinks he is a dog. I work from home so I am home 90% of the time. Please feel free to message me and we can talk about your dogs needs. I can send you pictures throughout the stay if you would like as well. I am home 80% of the time. It is something I am passionate about and love. I also run a small business from home so never worry about your fur babies being alone. I have three dogs of my own so adding a few more to my daily routine makes it just a little more fun. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I have two of my own dogs to keep your animals active and playing. I do prefer the dog to be crated at night for their safety. I have an alarm system as well as outside video surveillance.

“Thanks so much. You are the best!”

About: I've worked over 16 years with dogs and cats at a local animal shelter. I have assisted hundreds of people over that time with training, and also trained many dogs to set them up for success. I can bathe, trim nails, clean ears. I'm extremely responsible and reliable and have completed several cerificate courses regarding training, care, behavior modification, in addition to my hand's on experience. I love working with animals! At the moment my schedule is wide open. I am taking onlines classes and am lucky to not have to work a typical 9-5 job. We have a fenced-in yard. Inside my home, I can baby gate your dog(s) in our dining room and kitchen area if need be. Whatever instructions of care I am given will be followed as specified.

About: Hello! I have veterinary experience from reception to veterinary assistant. This experience includes emergency care as well as general veterinary care. I don’t have any dogs or cats, however, I love taking care of them! I have time prior to and after my shift which is roughly 8-5pm every other Monday, every Tuesday, every Wednesday, and every Friday. During the weekend and on off days during the week, I can stop in anytime. I respect the clients home and pets. I provide attention to the pets within their comfort zone and don’t push myself on them. I do clean up things like dishes and potty things.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and reptiles for about 12 years. All different breeds, all different personalities. Both big and small, I love them all. 💕 I currently work full time but have plenty of time available during early morning hours, lunch hour and evening hours to ensure your pet has everything they may need. In your home, I will respect and honor any wishes you may have. Your beloved pet will be in the comfort of their own home and will receive excellent care to their specific needs. Anywhere from going on walks, to medicating, to making sure they have the proper amount of food and water. Accidents? No problem. Show me what you'd like me to use and I'll clean it up when they are under my care.

About: I have cared for dogs my entire life, including my current pets: a playful Golden Retriever puppy and a 1+ year old mixed Lab. This experience has taught me how to handle dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. I am great with walks, feeding, playtime, and giving extra attention to puppies or senior dogs. I also communicate regularly with owners, sending updates and photos so they feel confident their pets are in good hands. I study Criminal Justice mostly online, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide consistent pet care. I can offer walks, playtime, feeding, and attention while balancing my studies responsibly. I make sure every pet is safe, happy, and comfortable while I’m caring for them. During walks and visits, I keep pets under supervision, follow all instructions, and give plenty of attention and love. I also provide updates and photos to owners, so they can relax knowing their pets are well cared for.

“Alex was kind and very patient with my dog, and kept me informed of what was happening. Plus she had a friendly and positive outlook. Highly recommend.”

About: Hi! I’m Jenna. I am definitely an animal lover, I have owned many pets in my life. Some include: golden retriever, pitbull, lab, collies, shepherds, cats, different species of birds, and more. I currently have 2 kitty’s that are the light of my life, and a 75gal fish tank. I do have some vet school training, so medications and other special needs are not an issue. I also grew up doing farm work so getting dirty is fine with me. I’d love to work with your furry family member(s) to help out you and them!! I LOVE ALL BREEDS! I am willing to also come pick up and/or drop off to help make it easier on you! I currently am working from home so I have all day to care for your pets. I am available for boarding any day and time isn’t an issue! I live in hilbert, a small and quiet town. Next door from an open grassy area. There is a park walking distance away, a couple streets over. I live in an apartment, it is a quadplex building, it is very open and large in size for an apartment and has plenty of space.

“Cydney is outstanding! First, and most importantly, she has a genuine love for animals. This was critical for me in my search for care for my dogs. Second, she communicates timely. This is also important for those of us who worry about our fur babies while we are away. Finally, she is reliable. Cydney never missed an appointment! I will definitely use Cydney again. My dogs and I both adore her!!”

About: I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own which is why I know how important and nerve wracking it can be to find a sitter you can trust. I’m fortunate to have a solid circle of friends and family that help care for my pets, but I know not everyone has that. Or maybe you do and you just need last minute help. Either way I’m here to help in any way I can. My primary experience is with high energy dogs: primarily huskies, German shepherds and pointers. I’ve trained many dogs but primarily focus on reactivity training. Training skills: • crate training • recall • human reactivity • dog/ small animal reactivity • healing & leash etiquette • car etiquette & car reactivity • threshold boundaries (ex. Teaching a dog not to go out an open door until they’ve been invited) The most important thing to having a well balanced dog is proper exercise. I live on 3 acres and go hiking regularly. If this is something you’d like your dog to partake in, I’d love to have them!! I own my own business so I work my work schedule around my dogs needs. I don’t have kids so my priority is my pups and those I’m helping care for. Trust in a caregiver can take time and varies from pet to pet. However, there are some basics things I ensure I do because it’s made a difference in my dogs’ lives. • Car safety is key, you dog will wear a harness and seatbelt in the car. • Your dog will always be leashed whether it be on a walking leash, long lead, tie out, or tandem leash to my dog who has amazing recall. If your dog is off leash trained, that is something we can discuss one on one. • They will always have access to water • They will never be left alone in cars on hot days • They will always get some kind of exercise.

“Alyssa was great to work with. Great communication, was easy to schedule a meet and greet with, and everything went fantastic on the actual walk. She followed instructions, took lots of photos, and my dog seems to have enjoyed himself! Would definitely book again.”
