Dog Walking Williamsburg

“Jessica is great! On time every day and very communicative with any changes. She was understanding of any modifications we needed to make with days or times and our Mona looked forward to seeing her!”

About: I don't actually call myself that, that's what my friends say I am. I've literally never met a dog I didn't get on famously with. I respect the fact that they are individuals with their own needs. I don't mean to sound too self assured with the title, but I earned it from friends. Whether it's running on the Lake Michigan shore or just finding a nice sunny spot to sit for a while, your pup is going to have a fulfilling day. I have huge flexibility so no worries! A last minute trip or planned weeks in advance, we can work something out. I'm here for you! Even same day! I strive for communication as much as possible between animal and human. If they're not feeling like socializing, I don't force anything. Everyone has different needs. My experience in a dog daycare really helped me read and understand dog body language to head off any issues that may arise when you're watching 12 dogs.

“I feel so lucky to have found Emily on Rover. Finding someone that I could trust and rely on was really important and that is what I have found. She walks my dog, Tito, multiple times every week. It makes my day when I get the notification that she has completed a walk with Tito because I can see how happy he is in the pictures that she takes. I have nothing but good things to say about Emily and am so grateful for the quality time that she has spent with my best friend. Thank you Emily! Highly recommend using her services on Rover.”

“Yesterday was the first time walking our dog. Jessica communicated when she would arrive, when walking our dog, where they walked and shared photos of our dog taking a walk. I was out of town and felt very confident that Jessica was taking good care of our dog. We will have Jessica take care of Louie, our dog, again.”

About: What sets me apart is both my personal and professional experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently work at Dogtopia, where I care for and supervise dogs daily. This has helped me become patient, attentive, and comfortable working with different temperaments and energy levels. I also have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. My senior dog, Otis, had arthritis, so I learned how important patience, comfort, and attentive care are for older pets. I also helped raise and train our pug puppy with basic training, routines, and socialization. Because of these experiences, I understand that every pet has different needs depending on their age and personality, and I always try to make pets feel safe, active, and cared for like they’re my own.⭐️😊 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work at Dogtopia, where I help maintain a safe, clean, and fun environment for dogs of all sizes and personalities. 🐾 My job has taught me the importance of paying close attention to dogs’ behavior, safety, and overall well-being throughout the day. When I’m home, I also spend a lot of time caring for my own dog. I enjoy taking him on long walks by the lake, staying active with him through runs and playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care every day.🦮🏃‍♀️❤️ When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I make sure the environment is clean and secure by checking doors, gates, food, and anything that could be unsafe or easily gotten into by curious pets.🤗 I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and individual needs to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while their owner is away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I always try to make pets feel safe, cared for, and at home.

About: For 5 years, I’ve cared for a foster cat I adopted, looked after 3 senior cats—including giving medication—and am experienced with home visits to feed and play. I’m looking to spend my days off walking and playing with pets! With an open schedule, I love taking frequent walks around town and would be thrilled to have a furry companion join me for some fun and exercise. I’m available most days of the week and ready to help your pet get moving! While I don’t offer pet sitting in my own home, I’m dedicated to respecting your pet’s routine and following your guidelines to provide the best care possible in your home.

About: I have grown up taking care of dogs and was lucky enough to be a mom to a sweet senior dog for 3 years. Currently I have two adopted cats who are the sweetest girls! I would love to care for your pet(s) and make them feel extra loved and safe while you’re away 🥰 I am available most days after work and most weekends to care for your dog or cat. I hope to make them feel comfortable and loved while you’re away! I will be able to feed your pet, practice any tricks that they know, and play with them. It’s important to me to create a positive relationship with them so they feel comfortable.

About: I had dogs growing up and own two myself now. I just love our furry friends! Familiar with lap dogs, work dogs and hunting dogs. I have a great deal of experience with oral, eye and ear medications for dogs as well as being a nurse at a local hospital by trade. I have a flexible schedule that changes week to week, so I can arrange dog services to fit my work schedule before the week begins. I have a tendency to talk to my dogs, and others dogs, like a crazy person... but I promise I am not crazy. I find the level of attention they feel coming from you is amplified when you speak to them, even if they don't understand what you are saying, lol! I have an athletic dogs as well as a lap dog myself and I am therefore used to medium and high energy levels from them. My condo unit is filled with sun and nice and warm in the colder months. Dogs are allowed to roam when I am home and also my furniture is pet-friendly. I play catch and tug of war with one of my dogs and take them on walks daily. I am happy to do all the same things with someone's pet, or more if the particular dog requires.

About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have provided pet care for friends and family for several years and have experience through Rover providing walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I also have professional veterinary experience as a certified ER veterinary technician, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for animals in a medical setting. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, ear cleaning, administering medications as directed, and providing attentive general care. I have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with mobility challenges, including providing support when walking or going to the bathroom. I’m also comfortable following individualized care instructions for pets with additional needs. When an owner provides appropriate instructions for their particular pet, I’m comfortable assisting with tasks such as bandage changes or injections. While dogs are my primary area of experience, I’ve also cared for numerous cats through drop-ins and house sitting. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, litter box care, and cleaning up whatever messes they may leave behind. Above all, I treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same care I would want for my own pets. Schedule: I’m currently attending school full-time, and pet sitting through Rover is my only job. During the school week, I spend my days near UW–Milwaukee and offer dog walking in the UWM/Shorewood area during the day and into the early evening. I’m also available for house sitting in the UWM/Shorewood area, including longer stays, and can continue attending classes while caring for your pets. On weekends, I’m based in Hartford and offer drop-in visits there. I keep my Rover calendar up to date so my availability is always accurate. Hartford-area clients: Drop-in visits can also include a walk! If your dog needs a walk rather than feeding or playtime, just let me know how you’d like the 30- or 60-minute visit used. Safety and Trust: My experience caring for dogs and cats, along with my professional veterinary experience, has taught me how important it is to understand each pet as an individual. During the meet and greet, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any special instructions so I can provide care that is safe, comfortable, and consistent with what they’re used to. My veterinary experience also gives me a valuable ability to recognize subtle changes in a pet’s behavior, appetite, energy level, mobility, or bathroom habits that could signal that something isn’t quite right. I know that pets, especially cats, can sometimes hide signs that they aren’t feeling well, so I pay close attention to changes from their normal behavior and will communicate promptly with you if I notice anything concerning. I believe meet and greets are extremely important, so I’m always happy to find a time to meet with pet parents before a booking. This gives you the opportunity to meet me, see how I interact with your pet(s), ask any questions or address concerns, and go over important details in person. During both house sittings and drop-ins, I provide plenty of updates, pictures, and information so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have personally trained my Toy Poodle (ESA) and have 8 years of experience with dog walking! Excited to get on a walk and spend time with your pups! I am a teacher and have time in the afternoons and weekends. I am excited to do some basic trainings around good walking manners in neighborhoods and love giving pups time to sniff and run! I am happy to do pop in visits per request. I am able to do feeding when given instruction and happy to do anything extra when notified :)

About: Are used to take care of cats, dogs, and horses for as long as I can remember. My neighbors would always have me careful there’s. I have a lot of free time, so I normally take my dog on a walk or run every day. Let’s go on an adventure. I have a fenced in backyard. I have a spacious home. I live in a very quiet neighborhood.

“Cathy is so sweet! You can tell she really cares about animals. She went above and beyond to take care of my Laird. Thanks so much Cathy”

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born: a black lab and then two beagles! It was often my responsibility to care for them until my parents got home and we’ve pet sit ourselves before too. I love dogs, so I’d love to help anyone out who has one! I reserve my bookings just for weekends, as I’m busy pretty much all day and night throughout the week! I keep myself very busy! I would love to check in on your pet during the weekends though! It would be my pleasure! I always make sure that the pets are well attended to and that they are my priority. They will always have the appropriate food and attention necessary for them.

“Charlotte was awesome. The dogs were a bit over excited at first but she did a great job of calming them down. Would recommend.”

About: I currently have no dogs of my own however I have always been surrounded by dogs. Whether that be small or relatively large dogs. I am quite energetic and love spending time with any dog I come across. I got a few pets of my own :) I only work 3 days a week so most of my week I’m surrounded by a bunch of fur babies. I do not live in a house however I have a fairly large neighborhood and many parks around me in which they are dog friendly.

“Genesis is everything you’d want in someone taking care of your pet! She was amazing with my senior dog and was a fantastic communicator too! I would highly recommend her services to anyone and will definitely be seeing her again soon! Thanks Genesis :)”

About: I have taken care of animals all my life. I have experience with cats, dogs, birds, and reptiles. Everyone I work with is guaranteed to be satisfied and well taken care of. My passion for taking care of animals goes beyond making sure their basic needs are met. My 7+ years of volunteer work at cat shelters and 10+ years of pet sitting are perfect for any kind of pet regardless of their needs. I am currently a full time student, so in between classes, I am able to stop by and take care of your critters. I have two cats of my own and understand the importance of routine. I am flexible and caring when it comes to taking care of your furry family. I always let the dog or cat drive the interaction. I am safe, friendly, and patient when entering a home or approaching a new situation. I always come prepared.

About: I’ve been taking care of family and friends, cats and dogs, reptiles, birds, you name it! I’ve babysat for multiple days before as well. I’m currently in school for my undergraduate however I’m free Friday to Sunday and can fit in time after 11 AM Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m not able to keep pets in my home, however, depending on what you need, I can keep them wherever you would like within your own home.

“Aubrey did so great with Philly! Communication is great and I appreciate all the pictures she left us! Looks like our dog warmed up to her right away!”

About: Over 20 years of experience, including elderly dogs and puppies. I love dogs and enjoy walks, park visits, games and couch snuggles. I know how important it is that your fluffy family members are taken care with as much love and stability as possible when you are away. I currently have a 10 month old standard poodle and she is my whole world. I understand how important this job is! I am an artist and work part time at my home studio. My flexible work schedule allows plenty of time for dog walks, park visits, play, attention and engagement throughout the day. I have a fully fenced in yard and a very friendly (well socialized) 10 month old standard poodle who loves having friends to play with. Our home is 4,200 square feet with plenty of space for dogs to play and settle in. We also have the first floor entirely puppy proofed, making it safe for even the youngest of curious explorers.
