Dog Walking in Truax, Madison, WI

“Laura has been absolutely phenomenal with the weekly recurring dog walks. She gained the trust of our skeptical Bernese mountain dog immediately, and of course our golden loves her. Highly recommend!”

“Kali was wonderful! Took Norman for a walk while I ran into campus for a meeting. She was right on time, and very sweet with Norman. He’s definitely a puller and she did great walking him. He was clearly sad to see her go. Would absolutely use Kali again!”

“Ryan A. was a joy to work with and we are so grateful they were able to walk with our Gertie.”

“Luna loved her walks this week with Matthew and Kagen. Even though it was snowy, I appreciate that Luna was coaxed out to get some exercise. Thank you!!!”

“Stacy was great! She was communicative and she listened to all the details about my dog. She is timely and trustworthy, and my dog loves her too!”

“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.”

“Henry was on time, attentive and took good care of my dog on their 1/2 hour walks. I would definitely recommend Henry for dog walking.”

“Ernst is super friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. We have 70 lbs adolescent pup who has a lot of energy to give. Ernst is great at keeping our pup in line. I already notice an improvement in our pet’s loose leash walking!”

“Lynelle is a sweet and caring caregiver. I've trusted her with both my animals every time I go out of town, and I never worry. She sends pics of my pup Shamrock ☘️ and my beloved kitty River. She's also great if the need extra care like medication etc. I highly recommend Lynelle for any of your fur babies. She has a huge heart and is wonderful with animals!”

About: As a child, I had both cats and dogs in the house and we frequently took in abandoned animals, treated their medical problems, and found them homes (sometimes, that ended up being OUR home!). I have been pet-sitting and doing drop-in visits for friends and neighbors since I was a teenager and I've never met an animal that I didn't get along with. I believe that all dogs can be good dogs if they're approached in the right way. As an adult, I've fostered for rescue groups as well as volunteered, doing intake, cleaning, and assisting with medical treatment. I've done drop-in visits and house-sitting for animals with special needs that required medication, special feeding, or subcutaneous fluids. I have a close relationship with my vet and his staff as well as many other resources to help me make good decisions regarding caring for my own animals. I have two pit bull mixes that were both adopted from shelters as adults. They have some unique behavioral challenges but we've worked closely with them and made a lot of progress. I also have cats and a few other small pets. If I'm house-sitting or doing drop-in visits for your dog(s), I don't mind checking in on other critters. At home, we have cats, a gecko, a turtle, fish, and a rat. I'm a stay-at-home mom with two special needs teens that my wife and I adopted through foster care. They love animals and are a great help with our menagerie at home. Please feel free to call or text me with any questions about me or my skills. I have photos of dogs that I have taken care of, but I'm not in any of them because I'm always behind the camera! I work part-time and I have a very flexible schedule, so I can make time to walk dogs together or individually. I feed my dog on a schedule when we're alone, but she adjusts easily when we have other dogs stay with us. I have a small fenced-in yard, which my is allowed to roam free in. We have a fairly quiet neighborhood to walk in, and we live close to a couple of dog parks. We have a crate, a folding corral, and baby gates to separate spaces if we need to. I have two large dog beds and several cat beds around the house.

“Lexi is very good with pets and animals. I have been with Lexi on many occasions and seen how well she interacts with pets. She is very responsible and caring, and can be trusted fully.”

“I am a dog owner of a 5 year old labradoodle (Daisy) that I would consider my daughter. I do not trust anyone more than Katie to watch Daisy. I have went away numerous times and she has watched Daisy (up to two weeks at a time). Daisy is a fussy eater and Katie gets her to eat almost all her meals (I cannot even get her to eat every meal), which is a HUGE accomplishment. Daisy is also a runner (not good with recall) and I can trust Katie to not to take her off leash unless it is a fenced in area. Katie also exercises Daisy as often as I ask her to. Katie has a 5 year German Shepard (Bailey) that is like a big sister to my dog. Katie has completed a lot of dog training with Bailey and constantly works with her to not be reactive with other dogs. If you have a dog that needs special attention, Katie is your girl. She works well with reactive dogs and stays calm if a dog shows aggression. Katie is very trusting and loyal. She would protect and watch over your fur baby when you have to leave home.”

“Isabella loved him! He is a very kind, polite and friendly guy! Thank you!”

“I have a pretty anxious dog, but Piper is very patient with him and has been deliberate about building his trust. I can always count on her to take great care of him when I am out of town. I am so grateful to have someone reliable I can count on to looking after him!”

“Brianna was great! She’s very friendly and easy to communicate with. She was kind and gentle with my dog Freya. I will be booking with her again in the future. :)”

“Katie was awesome, thank you!”

“Brenda is an amazing caretaker, dog mom, and mother. She puts all her love into everything she does. I'd let brenda take care of my dogs any day. She so caring, empathetic, friendly, and all around happy.”

“Maci is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! She has watched my dogs many times over the years, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who loves their pets. As a pet parent, traveling can be hard, but I felt better knowing my Zula was with Maci. Maci is extremely attentive to the pets she watches and loves them like they’re her own. Maci is extremely responsible and great with communication. She’s always sending little updates while I’m gone, showing me all the fun she and Zula are having. Really I couldn’t think of a better person to trust with my dog!”

“Morgan is an exceptional caregiver to all my furry friends! She is great with both cats and dogs and is able to administer medication when needed. She is very responsible and I know my pets are in good hands with her! I highly recommend her to anyone with a four legged family member.”

“Very timely when I need a walk in a pinch! Would highly recommend!”
