Dog Walking Truax

“Keezieng has been a fantastic dog walker this past week! Very flexible and always on time, he made sure that Stella always had a nice mid-day walk.”

About: I've helped out at a shelter for a large chunk of my life before I moved for college, taking care of dogs and cats. I have some experience with basic training as well. I'm currently in college so my schedule changes with my classes, and outside of school i'm usually hanging out with my cats but I'd be happy to share that love with your pets as well. I try and keep any pet in my care safe, even if I'm only giving them a walk or checking in on them. I care for any pets just like they are my own.

About: I have done petsitting (cats and dogs) for over 15 years. Usually for animals where I personally know the owners and have spent time with the animal to create a bond/relationship. I want to full disclose with new perspective pets parents: I have a full time, in-office job with the standard business hours, Monday through Friday. If that's not what you are looking for in a house sitter, I understand. If I had a pet of my own, I would ensure all their needs are met. As a petsitter, I would to ensure their animal's life doesn't change or I could make it better in some small way especially since their parent(s) is gone I stay at the animal's home to care for them so their life isn't different than what it usually is for them. Changing their environment can be quite shocking and stressful to them. I try not change their lifestyle too much while the parent is gone

“Our Great Dane loves Ben. He has had great communication with us during all of his walks and has made sure that Bruno has “done his business” in the mornings. He is our favorite walker”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals. Spending time with pets is truly one of my favorite things, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality, whether that means playing with an energetic dog, giving extra attention to a cuddly cat, or providing gentle companionship to a senior pet. I believe pets thrive when they feel loved, comfortable, and understood, so I focus on building trust and creating a positive experience for them while you're away. Being around animals brings me so much joy, and I take pride in making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. You can count on me to provide plenty of affection, attention, and personalized care, along with regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands. I am currently a nursing student at UW Madison and have time throughout both the week and weekend to spend time with your pet! Typically earlier or later in the day is best for me but I am able to be flexible. I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and at ease — feeding them on schedule, going on walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from their owner. I spend a lot of time giving attention and affection, whether that’s active play for energetic pets or calm companionship for seniors or more relaxed animals. I always try to make them feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also send updates so you know how they’re doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I have owned 4 dogs in the past 30 years; a Chihuahua/Toy Terrier, a Chihuahua/Shitzu, a Dachshund/Corgi and I recently owned a Toy Poodle - who was elderly, anxious, blind and toothless. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge and I miss her so. She was my world! My past dog sitting experience includes overnight care for; a Keeshond, a Terrier, a medium sized mixed breed, a Japanese Chin/Poodle, a Standard Poodle, a Sheltie, and a Pomeranian. Dogs are my special interest and I enjoy loving and caring for them. My 30 years of experience with different dog breeds and temperaments has shaped my ability to have realistic expectations, intentional patience and flexibility with the individual dog personalities that I have encountered. They are all good dogs and I love them all! My nickname is Rue. I am available most days and evenings to board dogs in my home which has a fenced in yard. I have no children or pets of my own at this time. I can also make home visits to let your dog/s out, walk your dog/s, and/or pet sit at the your house as needed. I am flexible with how I can care for your pet. My intention is to keep your dog/s in the routine that they are familiar with so that they can be the calm, happy dog/s they are destined to be.

About: I have been in the vet med field for about 7 years. During this time I have acquired many skills from that would set me apart from many other sitters. Hello everyone! I live a few minutes from Sun Prairie, although, I do work on the west side off of University Ave. I am typically available early morning or after working hours or on lunch breaks. I am also super flexible! We have 3 cats! I usually keep my pets in our finished basement during boarding stays. I am available for walks, potty breaks, meals/medications, and nail trims, at your request.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going for a long walk, playing outside, or just keeping them company at home. I’m active and love being outdoors, so I’m especially happy to take dogs on walks and give them plenty of exercise and attention. I’m dependable, communicative, and will treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I’d want someone to give mine. I’m comfortable following specific feeding, walking, and care routines, and I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to fit pet care into my week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the week and on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and schedule! I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m attentive, responsible, and happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention.

“Our dogs and cats just love it when Anna comes to visit. She is a natural with animals and both our animals and ourselves are very fortunate for her dedication and attention to detail. Look no further. She's the best.”

About: If I can help your fur baby feel less anxious and taken care of, I want to help you do that. I have grown up with pets all of my life and currently have a yorkie pup of my own.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses, and have experience in oral med administration with both cats and dogs. I have a soft spot for the big dogs (they're lap-sized if you commit!). I run half marathons so getting good exercise in will be no problem (even in Wisconsin weather!). I'm currently training for distance running, so you can expect great exercise for your pet! Whether it's a long meandering sniff-ari or an intense loop around the neighborhood, I would love to know what fits your dog best. As I'm in your home, your instructions are paramount. You know your pet better than anyone, and I am happy to keep their normal routines in place. I like getting to know each animal and their unique personality, and while I *love* giving snuggles and pets, I understand some pets prefer their space.

About: Hi! I’m Madison, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for animals in both shelter and home settings. I volunteered with Shelter from the Storm Animal Rescue as a behavioral assessor, where I was trained to observe animal behavior, body language, temperament, and individual needs. I also helped write biographies for adoptable animals, which gave me even more experience getting to know animals as individuals and understanding their unique personalities. My family also fostered animals, so I’m very comfortable working with anxious, shy, fearful, or nervous pets. I understand that every animal is different, and some need extra patience and space before they feel comfortable with a new person. I pay close attention to body language, routines, comfort levels, and changes in behavior so I can meet your pet where they’re at and help them feel safe. I work a hybrid-remote job and am typically only in the office 1–2 days a week depending on my workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care. I love being able to spend extra time with pets who want companionship, playtime, enrichment, or just some good old-fashioned snuggles! My girlfriend, Alyssa, is also part of my pet-care journey as my partner in training! She is learning alongside me and may occasionally join me for pet care as she gains experience with different animals. I’ll remain the primary caregiver and point of contact throughout your booking. My goal is simple: I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll take the time to learn their routines, respect their boundaries, and give them the individual attention they deserve. I work a hybrid-remote job and am only in the office 1–2 days a week depending on my workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care and allows me to spend extra time with pets who need more human interaction, playtime, or snuggles! Alyssa works second shift on weekdays, so depending on the timing of your booking, she may also be able to help fill in and spend time with your furbabies while I’m at work. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. My background as a trained animal behavioral assessor helps me recognize signs of stress, fear, discomfort, or overstimulation and adjust my approach accordingly. I’m especially comfortable with shy or anxious animals and will never force interaction before they are ready. I prioritize safe handling, secure doors and gates, and making sure pets cannot accidentally escape. I also respect your home by keeping things clean, following your instructions, and making sure everything is as you left it when I leave. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: Hi! I’m Emily. 😊 And I’ve always been an animal lover. I grew up with multiple cats and dogs in my home. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets when they’ve needed help over the last thirty years or so. I have also worked at a dog kennel where I walked and bathed dogs of all sizes and breeds. And I currently volunteer for the Humane Society where I interact with animals regularly. 😌 I provide doggy daycare - not overnight care - as my cat does not tolerate it well. And I work a 9 to 5 schedule Monday through Friday and I’m fully remote so I have plenty of time to regularly take dogs outside, out into my fenced in yard or to take them for both short and longer walks. I can dog sit any day though I do volunteer for the Humane Society on Friday evenings so they don’t work for me. Also, my rate is for six hours or less and then I charge an additional $5/hour for each hour after that FYI. I have a fenced in yard and can easily crate your dog if desired. I currently have one cat who has lived with a dog in the past, though I typically separate her in what I call her upstairs “kitty apartment” anyway. 😌 I provide doggy daycare - not overnight care - as my cat does not tolerate it well.

About: multi-dog household my whole life! schooling and certified experienced grooming 4+ years, as well as 3 years of dog lodging and day care worker. Reliable and safe pet sitting for friends, family and clients for 10+ years. Years of professional experience administering medications and special service requests to animals. Just a deep passion for animals and want to continue working with them outside of work! currently working part time so availability for me looks like Tues-Wed-Thurs availability 8am-6pm. I am flexible with starting and ending times! Overnight stays if requested! willing to be flexible and accommodating for owners! following proper safety measures, perfecting personal care routines, protocols and tasks. having transparent, accurate and effective communication with owners to ensure dependency and proper safety of their loved ones is being carried out. Following directions requested by owners. They know their pets needs better!

“Jenna did a great job with our dog Durban!! Jenna took him for several long walks and he felt safe and had fun with her!”
