About: I am in incoming second year at Colorado State University majoring in animal science and looking to become a Veterinarian. I have sat for family and friends pets since a very young age and have enjoyed all of my experiences. I worked at University of Wisconsin’s vet clinic for two years in High School taking care of and cleaning up after various kinds of animals. I am looking to gain more experience while I am home over the summer and caring for animals is something I love to do! I am available almost everyday over the summer with exceptions of some vacations. I am very flexible on the days I am in town as I don’t have another job or any other prior commitments. I can do anything needed including walking, feeding, cleaning up after, spending time with, or playing with animals. I would not be able to take any pets at my house since I have two dogs of my own but I would be more than willing to stay over at owner’s homes! really anything needed involving animal care I can provide.


“Allegra is the best with my dogs. She is responsible, great at quick communication, and truly treats my pups well when we need her to walk the. Or stay the night. We cant say enough nice things about Allegra.”


“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.”


About: I’ve owned and sit for pets my entire life, from rats and cats to dogs and frogs & everything furry in between! I’m semi-retired and have loads of time and attention to give. I’m currently semi-retired, and work 2 afternoons a week at a doggy daycare, so I am totally flexible, and have tons of time and attention to give your pet! I have a 4 level home with ample space to roam and play, or private cat rooms indoors if you prefer. I also have a large fenced yard with a turf dog run.


“Victor always does a great job with my little Buddy. Sometimes I am nervous about how my dog might react around a new person, but Victor has been amazing and Buddy loves when he visits. Definitely recommend!”


“Cilyr is a dog whisperer. They have been working with our dog to get him to willingly step into his harness and after a month of patient practice it happened today! Thank you for taking such great care of Irv!”


About: I have grown up with a dog in my household for my whole life and i was responsible for bathing, walking, feeding, and playing with the dog. I also regularly dog sit for friends and family. :) I am pretty flexible with my schedule, I am free most days, especially the weekends. I work during the day usually from 10am-4:30pm monday-friday, but my schedule varies week to week. Every pet is different and how I will care for them will depend on the owners directions and the pets needs. I love playing with pets and taking them for walks, and of course I will do what is needed in terms of giving them medicine, cleaning, feeding, etc.

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!

“Magan is great with my dogs! She is punctual and takes them for a nice long walk everyday! Will definitely continue to use her services and highly recommend.”


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: With over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats from a young age, I provide attentive, loving, and safe care. I am skilled in managing pets with strong leash-pulling behaviors and handling various situations to ensure they remain calm, controlled, and away from danger such as harmful foods or chasing other animals. My priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of every pet under my care. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I have hands-on experience handling multiple breeds, from small Poodles to large Labradors and Bernedoodles, including dogs with strong pulling strength. As a Golden Retriever owner, I take my dog out multiple times a day for long walks and hikes, ensuring both physical exercise and mental stimulation. This routine has made me skilled at managing dogs of all sizes and energy levels. When caring for pets at my home, I create a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, regular walks, and consistent feeding schedules. I ensure they are comfortable, supervised, and get both exercise and affection throughout the day. At clients’ homes, I follow all provided instructions carefully—maintaining feeding times, walking routines, and any special care requirements. I respect their home and make sure pets feel comfortable in their own space while keeping them safe, engaged, and happy. If needed, I can provide video service to capture all the work I did since I completely understand how we as pet owners like to see what our best pet friend did with a new friend.

About: I have had dogs, and have taken care of them since I was 7. I have grown up with puppies, and have experience in training them, as well as taking care of senior dogs. I love playing fetch with them, running around, or just cuddling with them. Any dog, big or small, no matter the breed, I love! I am currently a college student working part time over the summer. I am available anytime I'm not working, so in the morning, afternoon or evening! I take care of my pets every single minute I am home, so it is a normal thing for me. :) I care for pets by following whatever you would like me to do to ensure they feel safe and comfortable around me and their environment. Whether it's walking your dog, playing with them in the backyard, or making sure they follow house rules like staying off the furniture( or cuddling on the couch if that’s allowed) I adapt to your preferences and your pet’s needs!

“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!”


About: I spent the first 5 years of my career in Doggy Daycare, Animal Husbandry, and Emergency/CCU Veterinary Medicine. I apprenticed beside a working dog trainer and trained a successful service dog by the age of 20 years old. I own 3 dogs, 2 Golden Retrievers and a Doberman. I grew up with a variety of household pets, from dogs, to cats, to reptiles and rodents. I adore all animals and will treat your pet with the same level of love, care, and attention that I would give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! I currently work full time - mostly 7am-4pm or 7am-6pm. I get one 1-hour long break at lunchtime, which I can use to go let a dog out for a walk or playtime! I am up early at 4am every day and can come before work and in the evenings for visits as well. I am very experienced with different training tools, leashes, harnesses, and muzzles. I am comfortable with leash safety and proper walking etiquette. I am trained in animal behavior, so I can keep your pet and other people’s pets safe.

“Megan did a great job with Sami while we were away! We would definitely use her again!”


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.

About: With 18 years of my own personal experience, I've been raised around dogs and have a great affinity for what they need. I specialize in the care of mature dogs, giving each pet a sense of security, love, and tender care. I know firsthand about patience and handling many different personalities and needs with my own three dogs. Whether entertaining a hyper puppy or providing some added comfort for an aging dog, I'm dedicated to delivering the utmost quality care. Pet care is part of my daily routine—walks, playtime, training, and regular grooming for my dogs. I ensure they stay healthy, happy, and engaged, and I bring the same care to other pets. In both my home and clients’ homes, I ensure a safe, pet-friendly environment. I keep hazardous items out of reach, create comfortable spaces for rest, and supervise playtime. I follow each pet’s routine and needs closely to maintain trust and minimize stress. Whether it's a cozy corner for naps or secure outdoor time, I focus on safety, consistency, and making pets feel at ease.

About: I’m a school counselor (on hiatus) stay at home mom. I have 29+ years of experience pet sitting (starting when I was 8), with 15 of those years being professional dog handling when I used to help raise and train guide dogs for blind people. I have been using a similar dog boarding app for the last few years so I’m starting fresh on Rover but I assure you I’m experienced. I have a friendly pet dog and chickens. What can I offer? I can board your dog at my home or do home visits. I can help with minor dog training. And I’m experienced in several other animals. I have a fenced yard. I’m comfortable with big dogs and dogs with behavioral challenges (case by case). I’ve rescued 4 Rottweilers in the past with unique behavior issues. Why me? I’m particularly in-tune to animal needs, especially when their owners are away. I send lots of pictures and do what I can to keep them comfy. Your privacy is important to me. I respect the vulnerability of letting a “stranger” into your home or being responsible to keep your pet safe. Let’s discuss what I can do for you and your pet. Use this promo code to give pet owners new to Rover $20 off their first booking. Your Promo Code: LINDSS45396 I’m home during the day. Your dog becomes part of my “pack” during their stay, built around their comfort level. I have one pet dog and 2 small kids. Sometimes I have other boarded dogs but I’ll always confirm with both dogs’ families before I book an overlap. I have an infant and toddler that typically travel to gigs with me. Unless I can get my husband to take them after work hours. And two step daughters age 9&10. I put your pets needs as a priority, so if your pet isn’t fond of children, I won’t let my kids bug them. Boarding: dogs spend their stay in the ground floor of my home which is a large space with backyard access. We have a fenced yard. I do require your dog to be crated when I leave the home to run errands. This is for their safety and comfort.

Or watch a movie with them.
