Dog Walking in Walnut Grove, Madison, WI

About: I am in incoming second year at Colorado State University majoring in animal science and looking to become a Veterinarian. I have sat for family and friends pets since a very young age and have enjoyed all of my experiences. I worked at University of Wisconsin’s vet clinic for two years in High School taking care of and cleaning up after various kinds of animals. I am looking to gain more experience while I am home over the summer and caring for animals is something I love to do! I am available almost everyday over the summer with exceptions of some vacations. I am very flexible on the days I am in town as I don’t have another job or any other prior commitments. I can do anything needed including walking, feeding, cleaning up after, spending time with, or playing with animals. I would not be able to take any pets at my house since I have two dogs of my own but I would be more than willing to stay over at owner’s homes! really anything needed involving animal care I can provide.

About: With over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats from a young age, I provide attentive, loving, and safe care. I am skilled in managing pets with strong leash-pulling behaviors and handling various situations to ensure they remain calm, controlled, and away from danger such as harmful foods or chasing other animals. My priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of every pet under my care. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I have hands-on experience handling multiple breeds, from small Poodles to large Labradors and Bernedoodles, including dogs with strong pulling strength. As a Golden Retriever owner, I take my dog out multiple times a day for long walks and hikes, ensuring both physical exercise and mental stimulation. This routine has made me skilled at managing dogs of all sizes and energy levels. When caring for pets at my home, I create a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, regular walks, and consistent feeding schedules. I ensure they are comfortable, supervised, and get both exercise and affection throughout the day. At clients’ homes, I follow all provided instructions carefully—maintaining feeding times, walking routines, and any special care requirements. I respect their home and make sure pets feel comfortable in their own space while keeping them safe, engaged, and happy. If needed, I can provide video service to capture all the work I did since I completely understand how we as pet owners like to see what our best pet friend did with a new friend.

About: I have years of experience taking care of family and friend's dogs. I am an animal lover and can't wait to make new furry friends! I am very flexible and available any time of the week, mornings to late nights, Monday through Friday. I have limited availability on the weekends. Your pet's safety and comfort is my top priority. I will cater to all of your pet's individual needs, as well as give them all the love and attention they want.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, starting with walking dogs for my neighbors — from tiny terriers to big, energetic labs. That hands-on experience taught me how to handle different sizes, breeds, and personalities with confidence and care. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable nature and genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable with leash training, reading dog body language, and keeping even the most energetic pups engaged and happy. I’m also attentive to each pet’s needs — whether that means a brisk walk, a slow stroll for a senior, or extra cuddle time. Your pet’s safety, routine, and happiness always come first with me. I have a very flexible schedule and am available anytime — weekdays, weekends, and even holidays. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals and can easily adjust my day around their needs. Whether it's an early morning walk, midday visit, or evening check-in, I’m ready whenever your pet needs me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it as my own. I follow all routines closely from feeding times to walks and medication and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. I keep a calm, clean environment and make sure pets feel secure, whether they’re outgoing or shy. I pay close attention to details like locked doors, clean water bowls, and tidy spaces. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident and connected while you're away.

“Michelle did an excellent job. When we first met, she took notes about my requests. She followed my directions precisely and took excellent care of Myla. I received updates before, during, and after Myla's walk and she left very thorough notes on the visit card. I highly recommend Michelle.”

About: I regularly walk and check in on a dog four times a week and have pet sat for several families. I’ve also helped care for my grandma’s dog over the years. I’m reliable, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe and cared for. I am currently on summer break, so I have a pretty high availability to care for pets — through boarding, quick walks, drop in visits, etc! I provide a calm, safe environment and always follow care instructions closely. Though I don’t have a fenced yard, I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats — supervising pets carefully to ensure their safety and comfort at all times.

“She was great with Sadie (:”

“Michelle is great!! My dog is very shy and slow to warm up to people so I was worried about finding someone to walk him while we are at work but Michelle has been awesome!”

About: I have grown up with a dog in my household for my whole life and i was responsible for bathing, walking, feeding, and playing with the dog. I also regularly dog sit for friends and family. :) I am pretty flexible with my schedule, I am free most days, especially the weekends. I work during the day usually from 10am-4:30pm monday-friday, but my schedule varies week to week. Every pet is different and how I will care for them will depend on the owners directions and the pets needs. I love playing with pets and taking them for walks, and of course I will do what is needed in terms of giving them medicine, cleaning, feeding, etc.

“Meeka was amazing! She was very thorough and made sure that Sadie had a good time on her walks! She sent lots of pictures and gave me a detailed summary of her cares. Would definitely recommend ☺️”

About: Have had dogs all my life. Dog sitting experience. Veterinary work experience. I’m reliable & trustworthy. Love dogs of all kinds. They are just the best. I work nights, so I’m available for most times during the day. I don’t work every night though, so if you need a late check in or something just let me know what you’re thinking. My pup passed away 2.5 years ago so I’m just looking to spend some quality time with some dogs while I’m in school and have a good excuse to get outside 😊 🩷 Will pick up/drop off, bathe if needed, or run with your dog if they are needing a little more exercise. I have my boarding/daycare turned off at the moment because I live in a 550 sqr ft apartment and for most dogs, I feel that that would not be fair. But if you have either a small dog or a unique situation where this would be okay, just let me know what you’re thinking, because my apartment is dog friendly and has a dog bathing station in the garage. I may consider it on a case by case basis.

About: Growing up on a dairy farm, I have experienced animals of all shapes and sizes. I'm an avid animal lover, and thrilled to meet your furry family member! I'm currently working part-time and as I prepare to continue my education in grad school, so I have plenty of time on my hands to meet your furry friends! I also enjoy long walks and would love to bring your dog along! While I am not currently offering services in my own home, I am happy to watch pets in your home with the proper care and respect for your home and pets.
