About: I had a dog as a child. I have had dogs for over 35 years. They are great company and a great addition to any family. I am retired. My time would be totally devoted to spending time with your pet(s). I look forward to giving you the comfort that your pets are well-cared for while you are not home. My pets at home are pretty spoiled. They are not crated and we play inside and outside. Whatever the owners require is what I will do. Unfortunately, my most recent dog died of cancer. I miss her; but look forward to taking good care of other people’s pets.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every dog, cat, or other pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply giving extra attention to senior pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also pay close attention to routines and instructions so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care that keeps pets happy and stress-free. Im currently working part time right now so I have a lot of extra free time on my hand & would love to take care of all animals during my free time Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel relaxed and secure. I’ll make sure they always have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise if needed, and a clean environment. I’ll also keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, pay close attention during walks and playtime, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and respect that I would give my own.

About: 1) Experienced with dogs of all personalities and temperaments through several years of volunteering at Dogtown Rescue, where I learned how to safely handle dogs with different energy levels, behaviors, and needs. 2) Safety is always my top priority. I’m extremely attentive on walks and proactively avoid situations that could cause stress or unsafe interactions with unfamiliar dogs. 3) Detail-oriented and careful. Before every walk, I check that harnesses, collars, and leashes are properly fitted and secure to help keep your pet safe. 4) Patient and calm approach. I understand that every dog is different and take the time to make them feel comfortable, respected, and cared for. 5) I treat every pet like my own, providing dependable, loving care while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in good hands. I currently have a hybrid job so I am able to provide care on various days and various times throughout the week. I also have flexibility weekends as I am often local. Prior to letting a dog out, I will always double check that fences and gates are properly closed. Additionally, prior to walks I always ensure that harnesses and leashes are properly working.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every animal as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience caring for pets through managing homes and vacation rentals, along with volunteering for animal shelters and farms in Wisconsin, where I worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with senior pets, shy or anxious animals, administering basic routines, and keeping pets on a consistent schedule. I’m very detail-oriented, dependable, and communicative, so pet parents always know their animals are safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and manage my own schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility and availability throughout the day. I’m able to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and companionship instead of pets being left alone for long periods. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so caring for them feels like a rewarding part of my routine rather than just a job. I also keep my schedule organized and communicate well with pet parents so they always feel informed and comfortable while they’re away. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully while giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and supervision. I also make sure the home stays clean, secure, and well cared for while owners are away. Because I work from home and manage my own schedule, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, companionship, and check-ins throughout the day instead of pets being left alone for long periods. I have experience with animals of different temperaments through volunteering with animal shelters and farms in Wisconsin, so I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, shy animals, and senior pets that may need extra patience and attention.

About: I lived with and took care of two dogs for two years with a partner. Both were Bernedoodles; one was an adult and the other was a 9-weeks old puppy when we first got him. In addition, I have fostered a kitten with my sister for 4 months. Some traits I have that make me suitable for pet care are that I am reliable, punctual, and can follow instructions well.

I offer dog walking services where I travel to the dog's home and walk the dog in their neighborhood, respecting the dog's autonomy by letting them lead the way and choose the route, within safe boundaries.

About: I grew up with 2 dogs in my family and helped take care of them. I also took care of, and played with, my friend’s dogs. I love dogs and enjoy caring for them. I am looking to make extra money. I get along with dogs very easily and love meeting new ones. I am available any time, both weekdays and weekends.

They are carpet and I am willing to pick animals up to help them if they have a tough time with stairs.

“This is the first time I’ve booked with Alicia and she was so friendly and great with my dog! She even went out of her way to help me with a key swap. She came by for a meet and greet before our trip and always spent a minimum of 30 minutes walking my dog and/or taking him to the dog park for some play time.”

“I could not have been happier with Heather. And I think my 85 lb Shepard felt the same. She can be a handful on some walks but not for Heather. I've found a permanent walker in Heather.”
