About: I’ve always loved dogs and have been best friends with many of my friends’ and family’s pups over the years. I haven’t been able to have one of my own because I already have four sweet, healthy cats at home, but my heart has plenty of room for dogs, too. I follow dog videos every day on Instagram and TikTok and “virtually” care for so many pups through Reels—it’s my favorite part of the day. I’m excited to use Rover to finally spend time with dogs in real life, give them love, care, and fun walks, and make them feel safe and happy. I truly treat every pet like family, and I’d be honored to be your dog’s sitter or walker! I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule for pet sitting and drop-in visits. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening care every day, including weekends and holidays. I’ll always make time to give your pet lots of love, attention, and play! I live in a calm, pet-friendly home with four sweet and well-behaved cats. I make sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved. I follow your care instructions closely and always provide a clean, quiet space. I’m attentive, gentle, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: I am a dog lover who work from home, so your pup will always have care and attention. My own sweet dog Nila loves having canine friends over to play or relax with! I'm happy to set up a meet & greet sessions beforehand. I pride myself on being highly communicative—expect lots of photo and video updates throughout the day :) I stay home Thursdays-Sundays. This means your pup will never be left alone for long stretches and can enjoy frequent potty breaks, walks, and play sessions throughout the day. We usually start the morning with a potty break and outdoor time. Midday includes more walks, visit to dog park, or play with Nila. We wrap up the evening with another outdoor break and wind-down time. Whether your dog is playful or prefers a quiet spot to relax, we’ll adjust the routine to meet their needs. We live in a quiet, dog-friendly residential area surrounded by parks, grassy trails, and trees. We live on the first floor, with quick and easy access to the outdoors, including a dog run.

About: Hi, my name is Ava! I am looking to provide dog walking & check in services in the West Madison area. I am committed to providing individualized care, strong attention to detail, and genuine interest and compassion for animals. I grew up in a family that took in a variety of pets to provide a safe home. I am a strong believer in your fuzzy friends being your best friends! They deserve to be treated with care and love while you're away, just as I would want for my dog. I rescued my miniature pinscher 6 years ago and she is now 15 years old! She is both an old lady and still my little baby. I love all animals and I'm so excited to meet yours! I have experience working with children and youth with diverse needs, and that level of care and patience extends naturally to animals with anxiety, behavioral challenges, or special routines. My background in caregiving and support work has taught me to be highly responsible, communicative, and reliable. I’m organized, dependable, and quick to respond — qualities that give pet owners peace of mind. I also go the extra mile with photo updates, customized activities, and keeping pets happy and stress-free while their humans are away. I’m active and love outdoor time — whether it’s long walks, playing fetch, or trail adventures, I’m happy to match your dog’s energy level. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule from 7am-5pm, but it is not consistent every day. I am able to work my schedule around visits and walks if I have enough time to plan. Just message me with details! I could board pets during the day if it's a small dog with no aggression. I have a 15 year old miniature pinscher that gets anxious around medium-large dogs that have anxiety as well and/or some aggression. I am happy to do drop ins and walks throughout the day!

“Holly was very receptive to caring for our dog on short notice when we had to be in Madison for a family member’s hospitalization. The home, fenced in yard, companionship of their dog Mocha was wonderful for our little guy. I could tell he was exercised and loved while in her care.”

About: I've had dogs all my life, of all shapes and sizes. Happy to work with you to meet all the needs of your little critter. I work from home so I am quite flexible and can come visit most times of the day. I also stay up late so late night visits are fine. Honestly, I am happy to work with you. Each pet is different, so if your pet has specific needs, I'm happy to do what will make them comfortable and happy.

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.

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.
