“Allison has been walking our dog Mila for almost a year now and we could not be happier with the services she provides. She does an amazing job with our very energetic pup, who absolutely loves it when she comes over to take her for a walk. Allison is incredibly professional and very easy to get in touch with. Each walk she gives me a detailed update on how things are going and anything that may have happened on the walk. If I had the option of giving her 10 stars I absolutely would!”
“Lexi is very punctual and easy to work with. She takes great care of our pup and went above and beyond with extra requests today to get him some water and put him in his crate when they got back from their walk. Thank you, Lexi!”
“Heather is so good at communicating with me, she always watches for anything unusual in Josie’s routine and makes sure to notify me. She’s been very flexible and extremely reliable. As an anxious dog mom, I am so at ease knowing she is taking care of Josie. And Josie is always happy after her walk days with Heather!”
About: I have had experience watching dogs since I was 12. My neighbors often have me walk their dogs when they are unable, and about a year ago I started watching my family and friend’s dogs when they are out of town. I currently work part-time and I don’t have school during the summer so I am free most week days. I am also available on various weekends depending on my other job’s schedule. I create a safe environment in client’s homes by ensuring the dog has nothing dangerous within reach. Keeping a clean and safe space helps the both the dog and owner feel more at ease.
About: I have had pet care experience with a neighbor for four years now. And I have also helped own a dog for 8 years. With my neighbor I do pet sitting/drop in visits, dog walking, and cat care. With my own dog, I have had him since he was a puppy, and he is my best friend. I have had experience living with him, walking him, feeding him, and bathing and grooming him as well. I would do anything for my dog, and I will transfer that love to all animals I meet. I am a college student and my plan is to do this during my winter break between semesters. Since I will not have school during this time, my schedule is very free and flexible. I am doing this to have something to look forward to every day during break. So I am very open on a daily basis to accommodate to your schedule. My plan is to do services that are in my clients home because my dog right now doesn't always work well with others. So when I am in my clients home I will treat all people, items, and pets with the utmost respect and kindness. I will care for your pets on drop-in visits and on walks like they are my own.
About: I have three months of clinic experience as well as almost two years of boarding experience where I work closely with all kinds of dogs and cats. I have also been pet sitting for many years including with puppies as young as two months, and kittens as young as six months. I currently work part time, but I am super flexible so please reach out if you have any questions about my availability. Pet care is my number one priority! I don’t offer in home services, since I live with my parents. However I am able to come to your home to either walk or watch your dog/cat!
About: I grew up on a farm and around animals my whole life. I’ve dog sat for many friends and family members of mine and would love to be able to look after yours. I work in the mornings and I am home by noon most days and am around all weekend to look after any pets. I go for long walks most days. I have a large, in fenced backyard and I am close to the park and walking trails. I also love to go hiking and would like to able to take dogs with too.
“Alyssa was easy to communicate with and great with our dog Cora. She took her for a cold walk in the snow while we were at work and left a detailed review with photos as well which is always appreciated!”
“Samantha was a godsend for us -- she was a reliable, friendly, and caring dog walker who our gregarious pup, Watson, basically instantly fell in love with. We would still have her walk Watson if she weren't moving! She is fantastic.”

I’m comfortable working with pets of all temperaments, including shy or reactive dogs, and I have experience caring for elderly, disabled, and special needs animals. I’m skilled in administering medications (can give injections) and monitoring for signs of illness or distress, so you can feel confident your pet’s health is in good hands. Beyond medical care, there’s nothing I love more than becoming your pets best friend and providing the enrichment and attention they need. Whether that is long walks and playtime or calm companionship and cuddles. I’m happy to reinforce basic training cues, provide regular updates with photos, and keep your home in order while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re gone. Currently I am lucky enough to have full control over my schedule and will always make time for walks! There’s no activity I love more than hanging out with dogs and going on walks.

You can count on me to follow your instructions closely and to create a secure, loving environment for your furry family members.
About: I am a huge dog lover. I love all kinds of dogs and have grown up with all different kinds of dogs of varying size and temperment. My family has had 2 havanese dogs and 2 newfoundlands so I have experience with a variety of sizes. Recently, I lost my soul dog, Max. Max was a shepherd mix and was my whole world. My husband and I had Max since he was a puppy and are looking to get our dog fix by helping out others. We understand the stress finding care for your dog can create, and we would love to help provide a safe and fun environment for your dog when you need it. We have a large yard (unfenced) and safe neighborhood for walks. We also have 2 children, aged 5 and 3. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available most of the time from home any given week. I have 2 children, aged 5 and 3, and they would love to help care for and love on a doggy. I have a large, unfenced yard in a quiet, safe, and dog friendly neighborhood. Our dog Max was always free to run around the yard without any issues. Dogs are allowed inside, on our furniture and I still have Max’s dog bed for use as well. I am also happy to pop in by your house to walk your dog if that’s needed.
“Rachel was so great to my puppy when she came over to let her out in the middle of the day, on multiple occasions. She understood her puppy needs and took such great care of her. Rachel sends fun and informative pictures, so I always felt like my puppy was getting the care and attention she needed.”
About: I've always had a soft spot for animals, for years I thought I was a cat person- until I raised my first puppy. NOW I know that love, that dedication and pure joy. I've found something I love! I currently work from home two days a week and those days are flexible. I work in the office three days a week, 7a-4p. Available most weekends. I am aware of all surroundings and always keep my pooch or yours top priority. Long walks along the Yahara river and lots of visits to local dog parks.
About: I have worked at three different doggy daycare and boarding businesses within the past four years. I have been dog sitting for family and friends for years! I treat every dog as my own! I currently work a very part-time job (2 days a week). This allows me the perfect amount of time to care for furry friends of all kinds! I live in a neighborhood with a sidewalk, perfect for walks! I don’t have any children, just one cat who is very friendly and playful with other dogs and cats!
About: I'm currently in a pet-free home with my kiddos and have lived with dogs for much of my adult life. I'm a massage therapist and love giving pups a little TLC with energy therapy and light massage. They love it! The dog you see in my thumbnail photo is KC. She was a rescue dog who was with us for six years and needed lots of training, support and care. Please note I take 3 walking clients per day but only 1 boarder at a time. I teach at a technical college and am a personal trainer, working part-time from home and part-time out of the home. I'm often home for long hours during the day. My three kids are in public school, so dogs may have 1 to 4 dog-lovers in the home after 4pm. I offer long walks on sidewalks or trails if preferred, treats, water, lots of play and unlimited petting! I offer care in my home and dog walking. Pets are allowed on my furniture if that's what they're used to. Looking forward to meeting your pup!
About: With years of experience in pet care, I go beyond just watching your dog - I create a personalized, fun, and safe environment tailored to your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cuddles, I offer a loving, attentive approach that ensures your dog feels right at home. Pet care is a natural part of my daily lifestyle. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m responsible for, making sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection. For dogs, I build in time each morning, afternoon, and evening for walks, play, potty breaks, feeding, and enrichment. I’m active, reliable, and intentional about keeping them on their normal routine so they feel secure and cared for. For cats, I schedule dedicated visits for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and calm companionship. I’m patient with shy or independent cats and love giving extra enrichment to the social ones. I also create time for medication or special-care needs if required. I’m very routine-oriented, so adding pet care into my week fits naturally. Whether it’s multiple check-ins a day or longer stays, I make sure each visit is consistent, on time, and focused fully on your pet’s well-being. I create a safe space whether it be at my course or my client’s house by making sure they feel secure while also establishing a routine and sticking with what is familiar to them.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your De Forest. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in De Forest.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in De Forest. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
