About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—and I pride myself on giving each animal the same love and attention they’d get from their family. I’m experienced with administering medications, following special diets, and providing calm, reassuring care for anxious pets. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. What Sets Me Apart: I focus on building trust through consistency, patience, and clear communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and preferences, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My background in handling multiple pets at once and caring for animals with special needs means you can relax knowing your pets are in capable hands. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight care, or weekend stays, I make sure your pet’s comfort and routine always come first. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s sticking to training routines, administering medication, or giving extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and comfort level.
About: I have experience with pit bulls, yorkies, dachshunds, chihuahuas, labs, golden retrievers, huskies, shelties, and more. I’ve taken care of pets all of my life and have a special love for them. I currently am flexible in my schedule and have some availability in many times of the day depending on the needs of my own dog, but still have a lot of availability. I take excellent care of pets like they are my own. A pets safety and happiness is most important to me and I will do everything I can to take care of them.
About: Hi! My name is Sage and I specialize in animal caretaking and welfare. I have lived my entire life with at least one animal in the house and I have been dog sitting on and off since high school. I am certified in three years of dog training and currently live with my lovely cat, London. I’ve never met a pet that I haven’t loved, and past employers would describe me as dependable, easy-going, and kind. My days are entirely open, except for the occasional one or two days a week where I am called in from one of my other jobs. I am also a full-time college student during the fall and winter time, but my summers are almost entirely clear. In my home, I live with my cat London, and four other housemates. If your animal stayed with me, they would never feel alone and would always have somebody in the house that can watch them or be there for all their needs. We have a lovely backyard full of grass, a back deck for lounging and sunbathing and a large neighborhood for daily walks. Your pet would feel like a king or queen in a castle! :)

“Maisie was awesome with our greyhound! She walked her for a full hour, about 2.5 miles. She was great to communicate with and super friendly! Will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all through my life, including chihuahuas, a yorkie, pit bulls, a dachshund mix, labs, rat terriers, and more. I love to create warm environments for doggos and give them space to be themselves. I currently work part time, but I can pet sit Fridays-Sundays and Thursday afternoons at times. I may be able to do drop-ins during the week. I can dog sit at the client’s houses and am willing to help crate train, gives baths, walks, and provide other various care services. I might be able to at my apartment, but have a dog myself and would likely need a meet and greet.
About: I have 5 amazing dogs of my own, 1 pitbull, 2 American Eskimo mini and 2 Pomeranians. I had 2 liter of puppies from my dogs (1st liter was 10 pups, 2nd liter was 5 pups) and was able to raise them well for their furever home. I run a lot, so if your dog needs to exercise, you can count me in. Or simply needs a rest day, or any kind of special needs, I’m your girl. I work full time and have my own babies to care for, but I’m a super dog mom so I’m pretty flexible and prepared for anything. With my own experiences of owning 5 dogs, and raising 15 puppies, I feel like that should speak for itself. I do have a fenced in yard, I love dogs and I want them to be happy while they're with me or their own homes.
About: I recently transitioned from my role as an outpatient therapist to explore roles that allow me to be more emotionally and physically present in my own life. Throughout my career, I've been known for my warmth, patience, reliability, and ability to build trust. These qualities that naturally extend to the way I care for animals. I grew up in a home that was never without a pet whether it was birds, dogs, cats, etc. I learned from an early age what it means to provide a safe, loving, and enriching environment for animals of all kinds. Today, my own little family includes Phoenix, my wise 12-year-old cat and queen of the house, Gibson, my affectionate Golden Retriever, and Maize, my endlessly curious 10-week-old black kitten. Caring for them is one of the greatest joys in my life. I love everything from long walks and cuddle sessions to finding new enrichment activities and making sure they feel safe, happy, and deeply loved. I'll care for your pets with the same attentiveness, patience, and genuine love that I give my own. I'd be honored to be a small part of helping your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away! I have recently decided to transition from my previous role as an outpatient therapist and have plenty of time for visits and walks sprinkled throughout the day. I am available M-F from 7:00 AM- 3:00 PM for drop-in visits/walks/etc. I currently live in a two-story home with my three pets Phoenix (12-year-old cat), Gibson (9-year-old Golden Retriever) and Maize (10-week-old kitten). Each of my pets have aspects of our home set up to meet their individual needs, whether that is areas to climb, separate spaces for their food/water, windows to see the world through and full access to all the cozy spots. I love taking slow walks with Gibson, and allow him time to sniff and snoof whatever he pleases along the way. However, the weather in Minnesota is not always friendly for walks during the day. On these days I will often create enrichment activities for Gibson such as peanut butter/water "pupsicles", hiding kibble around the living room for him to sniff and find, peanut butter bones (when we are at a happy weight) and just overall pets and snuggles. As for my cats - Phoenix enjoys quality time most of all - so I try to carve out special time for us to exist in the same space, with pets as she pleases. She also enjoys playing with her wand toys, catnip in her cat tree or snoozing in one of her many enclosed beds or window hammocks. My 10-week-old kitten's (Maize) care involves more consistent responsibilities throughout the day/week. I play with him for a short time before his meals, feed him, offer some alone time or more play (depending on his energy level) and typically put him in his safe room for some time after this to rest. I repeat this three times a day, with the night play session being longer and more energized. I scoop the litter box morning, afternoon and evening. There are many days I have to clean his bottom, paws or space due to a poop fiasco - I have gotten good at making this quick and painless. I also spend a lot of my time redirecting and teaching the lesson "Fingers are not toys" (if you've had/have a kitten you understand). Overall, I do my best to create a safe, healthy and predictable environment for my little housemates!

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets since I was 8, whether that be dogs, cats, rabbits, tortoises, etc! I have adopted two dogs in my adult years, which has been incredibly fulfilling. I have taken extra measures when it comes to their training and have taught them both verbal commands and some sign language. I am a nurse in memory care and my dog loves to join me on short days and has adapted incredibly to the environment. If your dog loves to play and enjoys being with other dogs, my dog would love that too! I look forward to caring for and loving on your pups! I currently work in office two days a week and work from home the remaining three business days. I find myself with some free time M-W and occasionally on the weekends. I would love to dedicate some of my free time to your pups! The more instructions I can be given, the better!

About: I have been pet sitting for 4 years now, I love it everyday and I hope to expand my little business to more of you. If you have any more questions or want references please let me know.

I am currently free to help out all throughout the day and everyday! My schedule is open right now and I hope to help more of you! I have 2 cats and they just roam free because I trust them. My mom has 2 dogs who I help with almost everyday and my aunt also has 2 dogs so I am around animals everyday and I continue to learn and get better at taking care of them!
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and currently have two very energetic black labs! They sure do keep me on my feet but I love my fur babies. I absolutely love dogs and I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, including those with quirky or shy personalities. I can take him/her on a long walk, explore any new parks, play fetch, and maybe even try to learn a new trick! I’m currently working part-time! I am available Tuesday and Thursday to exercise and spoil your fur baby! I love taking dogs for walks but I wouldn’t mind dog sitting either. I will constantly keep your dog on a leash and when approaching other dogs keep them protected. I will also ensure their safety when approaching busy streets or cars. Your fury baby will always stay in my line of sight.
About: I have had pets my whole life that have lived in the house. We have dogs, cats, and even a lizard I have taken care of!

I have no pets at our apartment but we do live close to some parks and our backyard has plenty grass to play in! There is room if your pet has to be crated as well!
About: I have loved animals my whole life. Anything that you’re little one needs, I am willing to provide. I will take good care of your pet and make sure they’re happy and healthy. I do have a part time job, but when I am not working I am available to be with your animal the rest of the time. I have a fenced in yard and two little dogs to keep your animal company. I have a crate if needed. I will give your animal the care that it needs while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of my Tibetan Mastiff since before I can remember, and I’m my go-to neighborhood dog walker/caretaker. I love all shapes and sizes of dogs! I’m currently an online student at MNSU, so anytime during the weekday for boarding and walking is entirely open. Weekends work for specific dates and times. I have a reliable mode of transportation and I love taking care of animals. Whether it’s bathing, feeding, walking, or just sitting with a dog, I love to be there. I have grown up with a fear reactive dog, so I have experience with reading dog’s body language and reacting accordingly.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 212 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Janesville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Janesville. 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 Janesville.

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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
