Dog Walking in High Crossing, Madison, WI

“Anna was wonderful! She was communicative from the start and respectful, gentle, and patient with my dog. He's nervous around new people, but he warmed up to her quickly. She walked him well, asked a lot of great questions, and looked for her after she left. Can't recommend Anna more!”

“Samantha was great! Showed up on time and took good care of Pico. He came home from his walk happy and ready to rest!”

About: New to Rover, but NOT new to pet care! I have taken care of dogs, cats and other animals since I was 12 years old! I've had pets of all kinds for the past 10 years and I have also been hired to pet-sit for family, friends, and neighbors throughout middle school, high school and college! Additionally, my father owned a small dog walking business in our town while I was growing up, so I have lots of experience with walking all kinds of dogs. I am familiar with how to walk with and take care of dogs of all sizes from chihuahuas to great Danes! And I have experience working with varying ages, from puppies to older doggos who need additional care such as medication administration or walking accommodations. In addition to growing up with dogs, I've also had and taken care of cats, reptiles (lizards and turtles), rodents (hamsters, guinea pigs, rats & rabbits), and fish which gives me a wide range of drop-in visit expertise! I am familiar with how to clean liter boxes or small animal enclosures/cages, cleaning water fountains and food bowls, serving food and treats, administering medications, playing with your pet or using other forms of enrichment, etc. I am looking forward to working with you and your pet(s)! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to hangout with your pet(s)! I am generally available on weekdays from 8am-1pm and 6pm-11pm. My weekend availability fluctuates, but when I am in town I am available on Saturdays and Sundays from 11am-9pm! I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs, cats or small animals. To ensure your pet gets the best from me, I make sure that I have detailed instructions about what your pet needs from my visit and/or walk. This includes having conversations about things like how much to feed them and when, litterbox changing specifics, changing your pets water, keeping your pets areas clean, any medication instructions you have for me, where you want me to walk your dog, expectations for waste disposal, or any other specific details I need from you in order to take care of your pet!

“Tofu has such a great time when Kathryn walks her! Kathryn is flexible and we always feel like Tofu is getting the same level of attention and care that we give her! Will definitely book again in the future”

About: I have 2 large rescues that have been a part of my family for the last 9 years. When I lived in apartments, I helped watch other neighbors' dogs and always enjoyed getting to know them and learn about their routines, hobbies, and quirks. While my family never had a dog growing up, I love being around them now and could never go back to a life without them! Since I work part time at a local farm, and am only just getting my own farm up and running, I have a relatively flexible schedule from week to week, especially during the winter, early spring, and late fall. I am thorough when it comes to taking care of my dogs' health and safety, as well as the health and safety of all pets that are in my care. I am always vigilant about traffic while walking dogs near any roads, and am always careful of walking them near other animals. When in another's home I am respectful of boundaries and rules and always clean up after myself or any messes that a pet may make.

About: What sets me apart is my dependable, loving care. I treat every dog like family, giving patient attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of love. I work mornings in retail, leaving afternoons and evenings free. I enjoy being active, but always plan my schedule around pets to ensure consistent, loving care. I adapt to each pets needs. I grew up with cats and dogs, and provide walks, cuddles, space if needed, plus updates, photos, and lots of love, care, and attention.

About: I started pet sitting at age 12. I’m comfortable with all animals from exotic to barnyard (ex. Horses, pigs, bearded dragons, wolf-dogs, fox, skunks, parrots and ferrets). I have had my dog for six years, and I recently took in a senior cat over the summer whom has adjusted flawlessly. I am a full time student and currently unemployed during my pregnancy journey. I spend most days at home, as most of my coursework is online. My pets are crate trained and respect boundaries. I also have baby gates for separation. I do not require crate training but it is extremely helpful if your pet is, so please let me know!

“Was great with Dexter. He can be nervous around new people. But she did great with him”

About: I have done petsitting (cats and dogs) for over 15 years. Usually for animals where I personally know the owners and have spent time with the animal to create a bond/relationship. I want to full disclose with new perspective pets parents: I have a full time, in-office job with the standard business hours, Monday through Friday. If that's not what you are looking for in a house sitter, I understand. If I had a pet of my own, I would ensure all their needs are met. As a petsitter, I would to ensure their animal's life doesn't change or I could make it better in some small way especially since their parent(s) is gone I stay at the animal's home to care for them so their life isn't different than what it usually is for them. Changing their environment can be quite shocking and stressful to them. I try not change their lifestyle too much while the parent is gone

About: I've taken care of my parents' dogs since I was young, making sure they were always feed and walked, and most importantly, had tons of playtime. I work full time Monday-Thursday, but my weekends are open for caring for all types of fluffy friends. I'm available mostly on Fridays and Saturdays (anytime) and Sundays (until 8pm). I plan to do visits to homes to take care of your fuzzy friends. Any instruction given will be followed, i.e. always on a leash outside or fenced in, whatever your preference is.

About: I’ve dog-sat for aunts and uncles since I was 16! I love dogs of all sizes and breeds :) big dogs have a special place in my heart because I used to show bullmastiffs when I was a kid! I work 3-4 days a week depending on my schedule. And I’m going back to school this fall. I am trying to save some money for a very expensive treatment that I’ve been trying to avoid so I’m doing what I can to make a little extra! I love our neighborhood and love being outside so I figured this is the perfect way to do that! My husband and I bought our house last November. We have a fenced in yard and an 8 month old chocolate lab puppy who LOVES other dogs and any opportunity to play with them! She will bark on occasion and when that happens, we just bring her inside because we don’t like to disturb our neighbors. She is allowed on the furniture when we invite her up so we don’t mind if you dog likes the couch! I would have the same respect for your house as I do my own!

About: Hello! I was raised with dogs, and love spending time with them! I travel too often to have my own full time pet, so I would love to house or watch yours while you are traveling, and we can swap stories when you get back! I helped my family raise a puppy when we got her back in 2019 and still love spending time with her whenever I go home to visit. I work full time at home, so I have flexibility to take care of your pet when they need it most. Can’t wait to meet you furry besties! :) I work full time at home in IT, it’s mostly computer facing, so there’s a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m usually around for most of the weekend as well. I live right next to a walking path, and go for walks regularly. I have a fenced in yard for dogs to play in, as well as an extra cage if ever needed. I am the only person in the home, with no other animals, so my full attention will be for them only. I always check food and water bowls, and any other items they use daily.

“Jackie is consistent and punctual she treats our lalu as her own takes good care of him and gives him a good walk. Lalu really looks forward to her walking him”

About: I've lived alongside pets my whole life, and have volunteered for hundreds of hours at various animal shelters. I have experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I also love long walks, beaches not required, and am perfect for those high energy dogs that never seem to tire out. I am a nurse working a swing shift so I am up at hours, on an ever-changing schedule. This means that I can care for your furry little ones on a short notice, and even check in on them at night if you are away. I only have a small apartment at the moment, unsuited for pets of my own or for yours. I will change this information as my circumstances change.

“Excellent service. He took care of our dogs like they were his own. I think they would have rather we stay on vacation and Ben come walk them. Will definitely use again.”

About: Ive been taking care of my familys pets since I could walk When it was dinner time I fed them, or when it was time to go for a walk or go outside to use the bathroom I was right there, excited to help out. I do a lot of research into the pets I'm caring for to ensure I'm providing the best care possible I'm currently looking for work so I'll have plenty of time to hang out with your furry (or scaley) friends! I will update this once something changes. Im always learning new and better ways to care for animals. One of my favorite things is to research the animals and find out the best ways to care for them

“We were happy to have Bobby take care of our dog while we were away.”
