Dog Walking South Madison

About: I've been around animals since I was very young and love all of them. They are part of my family and will be treated as such while they're with me. I enjoy going on walks and keeping pets happy and entertained. I believe it's very important to know your fur babies will be in great hands when boarding with me. My beloved dog Mario is no longer with me; he lived for 13 wonderful years and was the best dog anyone could ask for. I haven't been able to get another one since then. Watching and caring for other pets makes me happy and brings me joy. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. Working from Home is a blessing and has given me the flexibility to care for others pets. I do not have a fenced yard, but I live in a development that gives me plenty of opportunities to go for walks. As long as they come with a leash we will be walking.

About: I’ve always loved animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’m patient, reliable, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I pay close attention to instructions, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and make sure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I work entirely from home, which gives me a highly flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. I can easily accommodate potty breaks, mid-day walks, and constant companionship throughout the week. My weekends are completely open for extended playtime, boarding, or overnight house sitting. When watching pets in your home, safety and respect for your space are my top priorities. I stick strictly to your established routines, double-check that all doors and gates are secure before and after walks, and keep in constant contact with daily photo updates to give you complete peace of mind. My home is a cozy, pet-friendly space where your dog's safety is my number one priority. While I do not have a fenced yard, I always keep dogs securely leashed during all outdoor bathroom breaks and walks. I strictly follow your feeding routines and provide constant supervision to keep them safe and happy.

About: Hello fellow pet peeps! I’ve had pets as long as I can remember- I’ve been lucky enough to have been a pet mama to small pocket pets, cats, dogs, reptiles (snakes and lizards), fish, a chinchilla named Jerry and even a small flock of chickens! I am a teacher, so I have time this summer to help out! I would love to offer my services to all the families needing someone to look after their furry (or scaley) family members. I can offer housesitting, but I am unable to stay over night due to my own family needs at this time. I can be flexible and would love to help if I can. I have a lot of experience taking care of different types of animals, but would always follow the specific directions based on the needs of your pet. I am comfortable with all types of pet care including medication needs, crating, potty training etc…

About: I love animals, and do have my own pets. I know what it’s like being a pet parent and just needing to make sure your fur baby gets the love and attention they need. I work from home and can work pretty much anywhere. So my availability is very open to meet your needs. I work M-F and have weekends off. My job is to make your life easier and make sure your pets are safe and loved. I will follow any rules you provide. I do not allow children to approach dogs while walking for everyone’s safety.

About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits, etc. I have a background in animal 4H and am still a club advisor. I work night shift with fluctuating days off but am able to fit pet care into my day after work and before I go into work. I can take care of your animals in your home and flex my schedule to best meet your needs. I am an active person and can walk dogs, clean litter boxes and provide food and water.

About: I’ve been responsible for the care of pets most of my life. Pets are family to me. I love getting to know their individual personalities and supporting their needs. My routine varies daily and weekly. Weekends and evening are more open but, depending on the day and mommy schedule, I can sometimes be available during the day on week days. Overnight stays can be available for house-sitting if my 14 pound, male dog, Franklin, can accompany me; he is very friendly and attached to me. I will connect with you one-on-one about your pets individual needs and follow their schedule and routine as you identify me to do. I respect your space and guidelines.

“Sandy was awesome! She walked my pup, played with her, and fed her. She also sent pictures and stayed in contact. I really appreciate her helping me while I was out of town. Derby seemed so happy after being with her. Can’t say thank you enough!”

About: Ive taken care of all sorts of dogs my entire life, whether theyre my own, family friends, or volunteering at shelters. I especially have a lot of experience dealing with scared or anxious dogs, this is because all of my pets are rescued from bad situations so I have learned over time how to read their body language and act exactly how they need to be comfortable. I am very available during the summer months so if you reach out I am more than sure that I will be able to work something out with you! For dog walking if there is a neighborhood I will happily walk your dog in that neighborhood. However if it is not available I have my car set up to keep your dog safe in the backseat, granted that theyre ok being in a car, this way I can take your dog to a nearby park to walk. If your dog is not comfortable being in a car and there is not a neighborhood set up, im sure we can work something out! I always bring anything and everything your dog could need on a short walk such as a water bowl, bags, extra leashes, and treats.

About: Playing, cuddling and lots of pampering is what your dog will receive during their stay at our home. We are huge animal lovers, and it's all about the pups at our house! We will care for your loved ones like they were our own children so that you can have peace of mind while you are away. Many families have come to know and trust us to take excellent care of their pets. We are completely dependable and can provide many great references. We look forward to meeting you and learning about your dog's special needs. About this sitter: I am passionate about making sure all of your pet's needs are met. I understand that your dog may not understand why they are in a new environment and may miss you, so I make every effort to make them feel loved, pampered and comfortable, so they feel like you sent them on their own special vacation. You can rest assured that your dog will be the focus of my attention while you are away, and I will send lots of pictures, so you can enjoy your vacation. Why I love dog sitting: I have rescued and taken care of all breeds of dogs, big and small. Dogs are our children on four legs. Meet my pet I have one 9-year-old pampered pit bull mix, Karma, who get along with other dogs. She is spayed and UTD on all shots, flea and heartworm medications. About our yard We have a huge 2 acre groomed back yard. However, I will keep your dog on a leash at all times unless you give me permission to let them run around the yard freely while being supervised at all times. I have extensive experience administering medications, nail trimming and bathing. I am experienced and comfortable administering oral medication, topical, injections and eye and ear medications. I am home full time and do not have a job. Your dog will receive my undivided attention. I will let your pup outside to play at least four times a day, and more if needed. If your dog is a senior or a puppy, then their play schedule will be adjusted according to their activity level. I will keep your dog on a leash while playing in our back yard, since the entire five acres is not fenced, unless you specifically tell me that it's okay to take them off the leash to play ball. At your home, I will follow whatever protocol you have in place, whether that be leashed walks or unleashed play in your yard.

About: Hello! I currently work at a dog boarding and daycare center. I absolutely love taking care of the dogs daily. I’ve gained tons of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare setting, providing attentive, compassionate care to ensure each dog felt safe and comfortable. As well as feeding, exercise, playtime, and basic health monitoring while supervising group interactions to encourage positive behavior and prevent conflicts. I’ve developed strong skills in handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities while maintaining a clean, organized, and stress-free environment 🐾🩷 Pet care is a central part of my daily schedule through my work at a dog boarding and daycare center. Each day involves hands-on responsibilities such as feeding, exercising, supervising playgroups, monitoring behavior and health, and maintaining clean and safe environments for the dogs in my care. Because my workday is structured around consistent routines and animal needs, I am accustomed to prioritizing timely care, attention, and safety. This experience allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my schedule while remaining reliable, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s individual needs. When walking pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and enjoyment at all times. I ensure each walk is suited to the dog’s age, energy level, and temperament, providing appropriate exercise while maintaining control and awareness of surroundings. I pay close attention to behavior, leash manners, and potential hazards, and I follow any specific instructions regarding routes, pacing, or handling. Throughout the walk, I offer positive reinforcement, patience, and attentive care to ensure each pet feels secure, stimulated, and well cared for.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life! I started volunteering at shelters at the age of 13! I started my animal care career in 2014 working at the best rated doggy daycare/boarding/ and training facility in Cleveland until 2020. During that time I also worked at an animal hospital for over a year getting more educated on animals! I also worked part time in a pet store where I was hands on with all of the animals there. In 2020 I opened my own business making all natural and healthy dog treats as well. I am equipped with helping with any meds from a pill to an injection as well if needed during my visit with your pet! I am currently self employed as well as my wife so we are free a majority of the time. Our whole life is dedicated to our pets so pet care is our #1 priority! I currently have 3 dogs and 5 cats that are on the best rated food I can find! Fully vaccinated and well taken care of! Living on an acre of land that is fenced in all for my dogs to explore and have fun on! I take my pets life and health very seriously so I am very hands on!

About: Ive always had pets growing up. I currently live with my mom and her two dogs. I've also cared for bearded dragons before and I also have a 65lb sulcata tortoise. I've dealt with dogs of all sizes, from weiner dogs, to hound mixes. I love all pets, but I'd say my favorite type of dogs are pugs because I find them extremely cute. I currently do gig work for my income. I mostly do instacart from about noon until 10pm most days. I feel like Doing gig work would make me more flexible to take care of pets vs somone with a 9-5 job. I can't offer boarding because my one dog is weird about other animals sometimes. However, id be more than happy to dog sit for days that you are out of town, or simply go over and let the dogs out to go potty if you didn't need someone to stay over. I can come over to your house to give your dog food/water, as well as let them out for potty breaks on a visit. I can also stay overnight if you need that as well.

About: Hello! My name is Maria and I am very excited to meet your furry friend! I’ve raised 2 large dogs and 2 small dogs so I am comfortable with any size pet. I also worked at a doggie day care center where I worked with all size dogs for 8 plus hours at a time and facilitated friendly play so I am able to handle multiple dogs or cats at a time! I live in the mentor area but am willing to travel as well. Please let me know if this is the type of sitter you are looking for! I work as a nurse so my schedule is pretty flexible. I care for my own pets with walks, park visits, swimming, agility and lots of playing. I am always cautious when taking care of pets in my home or another persons home. I understand that allowing someone into your home can be nerve racking so I am always sure to communicate as much as I can with home owners and follow their specific instructions to ensure the visit goes as smooth as possible.
