About: Eduardo & Iva are a couple who love animals and are ready to support you with yours! Eduardo grew up on a farm and had dogs his whole life. He has experience with boxers, german shepherds, blue healers, labs, goldens, pitbull mixes, american staffordshire, cane curso, and mutts. Growing up on the farm gave Eduardo the skill to read and understand animal body language which comes in handy when taking care of your fur babies. Iva has loved animals ever since she was little. She wanted a dog her entire life and finally made that dream a reality 5 years ago. When Iva visits people's houses, you can usually find her where the animals are hanging out 😂 Eduardo & Iva have experience training puppies (two of their own- an Aussie and a Pomsky). In college, Eduardo & Iva volunteered at a husky rescue shelter for 2 years. We are happy to care for any age cat or dog! Iva works from home and would love to support the fur babies and their humans in the Madison area! She has flexibility during the day :) Safety and patience are top priorities! If something is not working with your animal, we will find another way to approach it. We are proactive and intentional to avoid dangerous situations.
“Austin does a great job of meeting the high energy needs of my pup, including taking him on a good distance walk and even upping the pace to a jog at times. It gives me great peace of mind to know he’s tuned in to the needs of my dog.”
“Magan was the most helpful and amazing dog walker. My dog Vienna loved her, and she was always so happy whenever she got to go out with Magan. Magan was really sweet to Vienna and treated her great! Would recommend 100%”
“Jennifer was easy to communicate with and took good care of Tony on his walk and fed him. She arrived as scheduled and kept us updated along the way. We would definitely ask Jennifer to walk Tony again in the future. Thank you!!”
“Cloey did such a great job walking our dog Lily! She was timely and communicative. Lily got bored with walking so Cloey filled up the remaining time playing with her in the backyard. Lily loved her time with Cloey. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“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.”
“Donna took such good care of my 4-month old puppy and even sent photos to show me he was happy and having fun! This was my first time using Rover and I’m so grateful to Donna for making this a great experience. I highly recommend her.”

I’ll care for your furry friends on the weekends—-Whether you’re on vacation or just need time alone. I will always treat your animal as my own and follow their care plans. I am available after 4:30 most Fridays through Sunday. Message me for more details! 😺🐶 Let’s plan a get to know your pet meeting so I can tailor to their needs. I’m a healthcare worker- so safety, trust, and compassion are my top priority. 🐶 Individualized pet care is SO important for your furry friends’ wellbeing. Looking forward to meeting their needs and improving their health with walks and happiness with play.
“Thanks for the updates and photos!”
About: Was the owner of a very well loved Labrador so plenty of experience with dogs outside of the app. Have had the opportunity to board a dog and provide walking services already and am looking for more opportunities. I work part-time outside the home and my spouse works at home full time so they will get plenty of attention during the day. Additionally my 3 kids love animals. I am flexible with what works best for your dog including more frequent walks, using a crate, special diet, or letting them use my home like any other guest.
“We have a reactive dog that needs time, space and discipline. Sidney is very friendly, understanding and willing to work with us to make our pup comfortable. We are happy to book her again!”
“Sydney arrived on time and took my pup for a nice walk. She followed the directions for entry and exit. She rewarded my pup per the instructions given. It was such a relief to have someone so close to me in the neighborhood to help out last minute. I’m sure I will reach out again many times.”
“Mik and Augie were the sweetest and very loving with our dogs. I am forever grateful that they were able to stop by to let our dogs out and love on them a bit when we had a long day of work!”
“Krishna is a kind, caring and thoughtful care provider for pets. She has reliably walked our dogs for several weeks and our dogs clearly love her. She has been a pleasure to work with. I would definitely work with Krishna again! I recommend her. I truly believe she does this work out of love for animals.”
About: I grew up helping care for the family dog, and I have had two dogs myself as an adult. I have experience with high energy dogs, not so high energy dogs, big dogs, small dogs, and reactive dogs. I work full-time but I am available Friday through Sunday. Friday I work remote so I’m available but slightly less flexible than I am on the weekends. I am an avid dog walker and make sure to follow your dogs pace and give them the exercise and attention they need. If your dog is up for it, I have two daughters (7, 9) that love dogs and love to join on walks.
About: Hey there! My name is Kevin. I love all pets and especially have lots of experience with large, medium, and small dogs. I grew up taking care of both dogs and a pet iguana (Louie). My house is pet friendly (first floor and basement of 2-story home). Our yard is large (but no fence) and we have a walking path and City park within 3 blocks. I worked at a doggy-daycare in Mount Horeb for two years and have most recently helped cared for a goldendoodle (Brody) and a black lab named Charlie. I successfully trained numerous puppies (Lola-black lab and Buddha-vizsla) with great results. Let me know if I can help you and any of your pet family! I enjoy my desk job but I forward to taking care of fur babies during weekdays and nights and the available weekends on my schedule. I have a large yard and park close by. I am be able and happy to go on walks, frequently let dogs out to potty, and would be happy to help train (if interested) and/or play for up to 60 minutes per day.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10. My family has a doodle and I grew up with him. I graduated last year and I started raising a golden retriever. Her name is Yumi and she is 8 months old now. She has a great personality and there is no dog she can not get along with! I worked at home on weekends and I'm mostly available on holidays. Weekday schedule depends on my research and class schedule. I'm pretty flexible and open to same-day reservations. I have a dog-proofed apartment. If you have a puppy who is not fully house-trained I will be able to take care of him/her. Dogs are allowed on couches and their beds.
