Dog Walkers in Somerset, WI

About: Being a dog owner is one of the most rewarding experiences to me! I enjoy the love, passion, and intelligence they have. I also understand it can be a lot of work especially when life gets busy, or sometimes you just need someone to stop in and check on them while you are out of town. I am happy to help with a variety of needs! 🙂 I currently work full time with a reasonably flexible schedule! Availability will open up more in a couple of months. Let me know what you are looking for! I completed The Ultimate Canine Communication Masterclass by Larry Krohn, and working on a couple other courses with the intention of eventually getting certified in dog training. A lot of what I learned in those courses relate to proper equipment, dog behaviors and body language, communication, and foundation. Which all play in a role in caring for and keeping your pet safe and having fun!

About: I've had more than 2 dogs in my home my entire life, from 8 week old puppies to seniors. I have experience giving the dogs medicine when they need it. I work part time at a retail store, so I am never working more than 9 hours at a time, I usually only work 4-5 hours normally. I make the pets my priority when I am caring for them and I watch their behaviors so I can catch anything out of the ordinary. I follow feeding directions and potty schedules.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and currently have both dogs and cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I have previous experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient and attentive and understand that every pet is different—some love lots of activity and attention, while others prefer a calm and quiet environment. I’m happy caring for pets of all temperaments and will make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re gone. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to plan my day around pet care. I’m able to take breaks for walks, check-ins, feeding, and playtime throughout the day. Since I already care for my own pets daily, adding pet visits or walks fits naturally into my routine. I currently only offer care in my client’s home. I try to keep pets on the same routine they’re used to when their owners are there, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or bedtime routines. My goal is to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m happy to follow any instructions to make sure your pet gets the care they’re used to.

About: I’ve fostered dogs since I was in fourth grade, sometimes multiple at a time. Varying in size and age, sometimes cats as well as dogs. I am currently a junior at UWL and work an on campus job. I am going to school full time and my job does block off some of my time but I am willing to work my schedule around the fur babies. I live in the dorms so I will not be able to take the dogs into my home but I can easily take care of them in your home and easily crate if necessary. They will be provided with plenty of love and attention.

“I needed someone to give my pup exercise. Olivia was great. She took him on daily walks, at exactly the times we had arranged, and sent me photos, so I could see he was being well cared for. I would definitely recommend Olivia.”

About: One of my favorite things about working with dogs is that every dog has a different personality. I take the time to learn what makes each one comfortable and happy, and I adjust my care to fit their needs. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, playful, or laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I enjoy staying active, so dog walks and visits are something I genuinely look forward to. I make it a priority to be dependable, communicate with owners, and ensure pets receive the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions and routine to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I take the time to build trust with each pet, pay attention to their individual needs, and provide plenty of care, attention, and updates while you’re away.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. We have fostered 9 dogs in our adult life with two different rescues, and officially adopted a dog in summer 2022, which was our first pet dog as an adult. Currently, we have a cat and dog, so pets that we watch in our home must be cat, dog, and kid friendly. We have a busy household with 3 kids and 2 adults. We have a 1.5 acre lot and love to go on hikes and to fields to run. We have an adult home/off work 4 of 7 days in a typical week. Would love to find someone close who needs our services for overnight boarding, doggy daycare, cat sitting, and drop in services. We will treat your pup as our own and are more than willing to provide any special care needed for any known quirks or known oddity. I am off Tuesdays and weekends. My husband is typically home Wednesdays and weekends. We have a dog of our own who loves to play with other dogs, so exercising the dogs should be easy as long as your dog is dog friendly. We also like to hike and go on walks in the neighborhood. Occasionally go to the dog park, too! Our yard is unfenced, but 1.5 acres. We do have an electric in ground fence if you would like your dog to wear the collar for it, or feel free to bring your own remote e-collar if your dog is used to that. Our yard is unfenced, so we can do a tie out, leash, or electric collar if desired. We do request dogs be crate trained for temporary times when we leave the house

About: I love dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all kinds and personalities. I grew up with both a Westie and an American Pit Bull Terrier, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic, playful dogs to more relaxed companions. I’m happy to do long walks, playtime, and care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels at any time of day. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and sick dogs, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether you need walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or something more specific, I’m flexible and happy to help however I can — just let me know what you need! *Lady, the American Pitbull Terrier listed on my profile, does not live in my home. I currently have a dog-free household* I have a flexible schedule and am happy to provide services at any time of day just let me know what you need and I can be available! My focus is on making each walk a positive and enriching experience for the pets in my care, fostering a sense of trust, joy, and exercise. When caring for pets on walks, my approach revolves around their safety, well-being, and enjoyment. I prioritize keeping them on a secure leash, ensuring their comfort with proper equipment, and maintaining a watchful eye for any potential hazards. Regular water breaks are provided, especially on hot days, and I adjust the pace of the walk to match their energy levels. Every pet is unique, so I adapt to their preferences, whether it's a brisk urban stroll, a leisurely park visit, or interactive playdates with fellow dogs. And of course I am happy to provide picture updates :)

“Nicole and Derek are great! We have had them watch our pup several times!”

About: I’ve always been a lover of animals and always had a dog and cat in my house growing up. I’ve worked as a dog groomer for 2 years and miss having the everyday interaction with dogs and cats. I have an emotional support dog of my own, his name is Avett and he’s my little man he came to work at the groomers with me and is friendly with all dogs. Being able to comfort an animal is emotionally fulfilling and being able to treat and cuddle them brings so much joy I love them all as my own. I have a beautiful fenced in yard and home that is able to be a safe haven for your loves when you need help with care. I would love to work with animals again and have the gratifying feeling of caring for them. I’m able to work from home select days which gives me the ability to work with animals. I have a nice fenced in yard with room to run and a wonderful walking trail next to my house to take them on adventures.

About: I work from home so you can have peace of mind that someone has eyes on your beloved pets while you're away! I graduated from UWRF with my pre-vet in Animal Science and spent 2 years as a large animal technician at a facility in Coon Rapids, MN. I train feral Mustangs and have taught my cat tricks too! My sister has let me use her dogs for agility and other dog sports on occasion. I've been farm sitting privately by word of mouth for the past 3 years and am now expanding to Rover. I work from home so it is easy to accommodate all of your pets needs. I have limited hobbies as horses are my primary personality trait. If I'm not at the barn, I'm home reading or in bed watching a K-Drama. I care for all animals as if they were my own. I am a detail oriented person, and follow care instructions accurately. I am also a proficient communicator and calm in the event of an emergency. I am well equipped to care for your pet while you are away, and allow you the peace of mind that they are well taken care of.

“Michael has shown up again for our pup when we needed him for a good walk while we were out of town! He is punctual and makes sure to send a lot of pictures and details about the walk! Thank you Michael for caring for our good boy!”

About: I have never not had a dog…or multiple!😊 I’ve grown up with Labrador Retrievers. With that being said, I can handle the chewing, the energy, the hours of stimulation, and the endless snuggles! I have raised multiple puppies into adulthood, with two currently being my own! From potty training to tricks, to walking on a leash, I have done it all! I also have had family dogs that’s we have had until 12-14 years old that have required special needs due to age. I am a nurse who once wanted to become a vet so I am super flexible from an experience standpoint!😊 I am a night shift nurse who works just a couple days a week! With that being said, my schedule is flexible and I’m almost always home! We are extremely active people who go on multiple walks a day, and I typically run a couple miles a week as well! Weather permitting, we are outside 95% of the time. My dogs are always enjoying the sun on our large deck that overlooks our woods, outside running in the woods, or playing fetch in the yard. We have 2 young and friendly labradors who love to play and meet new friends! We own 2 acres, half of it being woods with trails! This would be for the guests who have a great recall or have halo collars😊 For the ones who struggle a little more with recall, we have a 3 car garage with a doggy door to go in and out of a fenced in area (in pictures)! Also a large deck to catch some rays on, as well as plenty and plenty of walks! I want your pup(s) to feel as comfortable as possible and never want to leave😊 I am extremely flexible and want to stick to their routine as much as possible!
