Dog Walking in Wausau

“Sarah is a life-saver! She was flexible with scheduling and so easy to work with! Even though Jesse was born blind and can be a handful, Sarah jumped right into walls with her and Jesse felt totally safe with Sarah. Sarah is professional and organized. Thank you, Sarah!”

“Receptive and respectful. Got back to me in a timely manner and has great availability for me. My foster dog really likes her and she listened to all the directions so far, she even did a bit extra and it's greatly appreciated.”

“Lara was fantastic! She understands leash reactivity which is important for us. She was a great communicator and will definitely have her walk Tonka again!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, mostly cats and dogs. I’m a new retiree looking for a way to spend my days. I can’t think of anything better than pet sitting! I recently retired and need a way to stay active! Dog walking will certainly help me do that! If you have a cat that needs to be walked, I’m all in! I will follow all of the rules of your home for your pet. I want you and your pet to feel comfortable with me in your home.

“Amazing lady! Understands dogs- has her own pack. Took the time to meet us before the planned walk. Fed and walked our big puppy.”

About: I come from a dog family, where we are on our 3rd dog. I love going to dog parks to let dogs run around, taking dogs for extended walks when needed, and even running alongside when training. I understand the amount of care and devotion that a pet needs, and I strive to strengthen that sense of attention with clients whether doing check-ins, boarding, or regular pet-care. I would like to begin dog-sitting in a professional manner. I currently dog sit for family and family friends in the mornings and early afternoons. I am very flexible and can accommodate last-minute requests, making scheduling with me very simple. I would like to incorporate dog sitting more into my schedule to keep myself active and to explore my community more since I recently relocated to Weston. When caring for pets, I love to hold myself and the pet to a schedule to reinforce a sense of understanding and consistency with myself and the pet-owner. I tend to have more alert care when in a clients home/pet since it is not my own, but care for everything like it would be my own.

About: I've had a deep love for animals since childhood and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. Last summer, I had the rewarding experience of fostering a stray mama cat and her litter of kittens, ensuring they received proper socialization and care before finding their forever homes. I currently have a mini dachshund and a cat, who are best friends and keep me on my toes! My experience extends to puppy care, basic training, and understanding pet behaviors, including shy or anxious animals. I also have firsthand experience handling reactivity, as my dog was poorly socialized and untrained when I first met her. Through patience and consistent training, I’ve helped her gain confidence and improve her behavior. Additionally, I have experience administering medication and assisting in rehabilitation, particularly with IVDD recovery. Caring for my dog through her treatment and recovery taught me the importance of gentle handling, proper medication schedules, and creating a safe, supportive environment for healing. I prioritize providing pets with a loving, tailored approach that meets their unique needs. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to tailor my availability to fit your needs. Whether you need regular check-ins or last-minute visits, I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s schedule. I understand that every pet has its own routine, and I strive to provide consistent, reliable care that keeps them comfortable and happy. I prioritize pets' safety and comfort in their own homes, maintaining a clean, secure environment and providing consistent, loving care tailored to their individual needs.

About: I grew up taking care of various animals including miniature donkeys, cats, dogs and chickens. With growing up with various pets I understand how imperative it is to have the proper care for every pet’s needs. I enjoy ensuring that all pets needs are met so they can be happy and healthy. I am attending North Central Technical college for an associates degree in human services. Additionally, I work part time (10-15 hrs) at Strive Behavioral Solutions with kids on the autism spectrum. My days are typically split up between a portion of school and work (depending on the day). I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule as needed to care for your pet. I will not be able to care for animals in my home. I take my job caring for your animals very seriously and will be responsible and thorough.

“My husband and I adopted Junebug from the shelter recently and needed some help over the weekend while we were both at work. Christy met with us prior to the first visit. Junebug is timid around most people initially, but she warmed up to Christy right away! Christy came twice a day and really gave us peace of mind while we were gone at work. We received multiple pictures during their visit, which really made our day. We will definitely be booking with Christy again!”

About: I have no experience training pets but general care and dog walking I can sure do that! My family has had dogs ranging from a Black lab to a little Frenchie. I am also big into fitness so if your dog is in need of long walks that you might not have the time for I can help you out there. I work full time at Greenheck in Schofield, I also live in Schofield. My full time hours are 3pm-11pm so anyone looking for their pet to get a walk in between 9am-12pm I will be available. I do not have any animals in my apartment because they’re very strict on animals allowed but I helped my parents take care of a black lab for some years and and I watch a French bulldog once in awhile. I would only be able to dog walk considering my living situation.

“Shane was great, he kept in touch from the day we booked the service and our dogs were happy and in their respective spots when we came home. Thanks!”

“I needed someone to walk my dog on very short notice. Kayla said she was available and within the hour she had my dog on a walk. When they returned, it was clear that my dog enjoyed her walk and was comfortable with Kayla, so now she'll be walking her twice a week for me. I'd definitely recommend her to others looking for a dog walker!”

About: I grew up on a farm and have been around animals, particularly dogs and cats my whole life. I've had my two rescue dogs for about 4 years and each require specific needs. Easy to say that I can adjust to whatever special need you and your dog may need. I am able to take care of any size, age, energy level, and temperament I work full time day shift on a roating schedule. I'm new to the area and looking for some extra income. I am able to be flexible with my off time and complete drop in visits during my off time. I will ask clarifying questions to assure I am aware of what you expect from me. Some of these questions will be about their food/water routine, exercise, any preferred toys/treats/walking route. I'll be sure to give your pet lots of attention and love. Picture updates are always good too 😁

About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. I have always had a dog in my home, and this previous year I raised a puppy so I have experience with that as well. I am also good with senior dogs, as well as, dogs who are blind and/or deaf. At home, I walk my dogs daily as well as let them outside as often as they needed. I spent a lot of time playing with them and giving them lots of love. I often cat sit, and I love to spend extra time at the house playing with the cats, whether they are interested in me or couldn’t care less. I miss my dogs like crazy so I am super excited to meet your furry friends! I am a full time college student, so I have classes throughout the week. Monday’s and Tuesday’s are my busiest days, so I probably will not take jobs that land on either of those. The rest of my weekdays are pretty open, as long as your dog can go a couple hours home alone. As for the weekends, I do not have any specific time commitments. I most likely will not be able to spend all day Saturday and Sunday in your home, but if you communicate how much time your pets need I can do my best. I am happy to spend Friday and Saturday nights in your home, but I will sleep in the dorms on any school night. At home, we did not have any fence to keep our dogs in the yard. I supervise at all times when a dog is outside, and I am open to taking them out on a leash if that is what you prefer.

About: I have always grown up with pets as well as taking care of dogs and cats of family friends. I even recently took care of a bird! I have two cats and a dog of my own and I’m looking forward to providing care for your furry family members For the month of September I will be unavailable Monday-Thursday, and from October on I will be unavailable Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I am a great option if you are looking for Wednesday doggy daycare, or looking for someone to watch your pet for the weekend. Please feel free to reach out even if I am marked as unavailable to see if we can work something out for you. Every pet is different so I will be sure to follow any instructions the pet owner leaves for me. I have done babysitting and pet sitting for many different people and different homes so I am used to using extra care with other peoples pets and space.

About: My grandparents have bred many types of dogs since before I was even born. I learned a lot from them and the dogs they raised from pups. I have had cats my entire life and never not had one. I've had a rottweiler, a blue heeler, a pomeranian, a chihuahua, and plenty of different-sized mutts in my life. I also take care of plenty of other animals including birds, rats, snakes, bunnies, and more. I work overnights at Kwik Trip so I’m not available every night but I can always be there before and after work and be there all day. I can take care of your furry friend at your house and I can take care of all you need me to do, including but not limited to, making sure they are fed and well hydrated, grooming of all kinds, have as many potty breaks as needed, giving your friend all the attention in the world, and more. Currently not accepting any pets at my home.

About: From a young age, my love for animals has pushed me to obtain a Bachelors Degree in Animal Science with a strong emphasis in Companion Animal Behavior and Training. Transitioning into my adult life, I have fostered and since rescued our 2 active friendly dogs. We spend a lot of time outside and love visiting dog friendly parks and events. I look forward to welcoming and caring for your pets. I currently work mostly on nights and weekends leaving me extra time to care for your babies during the day. However, arrangements can be made to ensure the best care is given even on nights and weekends. I have a large yard conveniently in town to allow animals to burn off energy outside while still being active away from home and finding new areas to explore with my two loved fur babies.

About: I have deep respect and love of animals, all animals. I believe that teach us things and bring us a joy like no other. I can guarantee that your pup will have a joyful, safe, and caring stay\with me. Come on over pooches! I currently work M-F 4pm -midnight, at Aspirus. I am a travel Sonographer and this contract ends Friday, Aug. 30 and then I will be free at all times for a bit. We play, enjoy treats, go on walks, cuddle, and cater to whatever each pup needs.I am at their service :) I am sensitive to different personalities and needs. I will do whatever you pup needs to feel safe and happy and have a perfect stay over. :)
