About: With 5 years of experience caring for dogs, through fostering and those of friends and family, I’ve gained a deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I respect every dog’s individuality and adapt my care to provide just the right balance of attention and activity. Whether your pup enjoys leisurely companionship and a calm presence or thrives on interactive play, exercise, and affection, I’m here to ensure they feel safe, happy, and fulfilled. My goal is to meet every dog where they are, providing thoughtful, loving care tailored to their needs. Working from home allows me to offer flexible scheduling for pet care. I can easily adapt to your needs, ensuring your pets receive timely and attentive care I prioritize understanding each pet's unique needs and preferences, whether at my home or yours. I adapt my care style to provide a safe, nurturing, and tailored environment for every furry friend

“Wyatt regularly walks my dog and does pet sitting too. Maggie ( the dog) just loves him! He is caring, thoughtful, and trustworthy. He is very good with both my pets. The dog Maggie and the cat Holly both love him!”


5. Brittany S.

“Brittany has been walking our puppy twice a week for several weeks now and it’s been going swimmingly. Communication has been really good and it’s been such a weight off our shoulders to know that Brittany will be giving our dog a fun break in the middle of the day when we can’t be home. She sends photos and little updates to let us know how their walks went and those are really fun to see. Highly recommend Brittany!”


6. Amy Lynn R.

About: Hello fellow dog lovers! I am currently a Madison resident and Rover employee for 5 years. I have been dog walking and sitting both independently and through dog walking apps. Although I do not currently have a pet, I am delighted to get my fix of dog love by caring for your furry friend. I have adopted a pup of my own in the past, and I know first hand that a busy schedule can really interfere with your dog's needs . The main reason I joined this business is to solve that problem . I am knowledgeable in pet safety and some beginner training . I am very flexible with my schedule since I am self employed , and I do my best to stay in communication with you throughout the visit. I can't wait to meet you and your pet! I am currently self employed and have a very flexible schedule, so I am able to take some last minute requests most of the time. I live in Sherman Village area, and am just steps away from the beautiful Cherokee Marsh Unit, where many walks and dog park visits await.


12. Molly H.

“Molly takes excellent care of my dog. She is communicative, very respectful of my home, kind to my dog, and ensures my dog’s safety every booking. I am lucky to have found Molly. I will definitely book again!”


13. Laura S.
“Laura has been absolutely phenomenal with the weekly recurring dog walks. She gained the trust of our skeptical Bernese mountain dog immediately, and of course our golden loves her. Highly recommend!”


14. Sophie W.
“I’ve known Sophie for a lot of years now and she had love for any and all pets that she interacts with. Her own, mine, other friends, all of them are cared for by Sophie. She has watched my cat a few times when I’ve gone out of town and she sends pictures and videos so we can see how he is doing and we know he’s ok. I highly recommend Sophie for your pet care needs, she is responsible and kind and intuitive with animal’s needs.”

About: I have had 18 years of caring for 1-2 dogs in my home. I used to watch dogs 101 every Saturday morning as a child. I love dogs, and am an energetic and eager worker. I have had big and small dogs and really enjoy both. I am fit and can provide your dog with the outdoors activity it needs! I know lots of traditional commands, and also can handle dogs that aren’t necessarily the best listeners. I enjoy dogs with lots of energy, and dogs that just lounge and walk. I can go on runs with your dog if you would like as well. I am the oldest sibling in my family and am honest and very responsible. I can’t wait to work with you! I have a front and back yard which are 3/4 of the way gated/enclosed. I rise rather early in the morning. I also work from home and enjoy staying active outside at least once a day, typically walking. I leave briefly at Moments, the longest would be to go to the gym We have water stations available, as well as doors to places dogs cannot be that will be close. I always clean up after myself and never intrude in others' spaces.

About: I’ve worked at doggy daycares for the past 3 years along with going to school to become a vet tech. I have worked with all breeds and sizes. I have also worked with reactive dogs and dogs with special needs. My love for dogs stems from my love for ALL animals and I genuinely cannot imagine my world without them. My main goal for any animal in my care is for them to be safe and comfortable while I care for and love them the best I can! I look forward to meeting you and your amazing fur baby/babies!! I currently work at a doggy daycare and take care of the dogs boarding and the daycare dogs along with caring for two large dogs of my own. Not a day goes by where i’m not care for and loving an amazing animal. :) My main goal is for your animal to feel safe and comfortable with me whether we are going for walks or spending time together while parents are away. My favorite type of activity are mental and physical enrichment games and the only type of training I do is positive reinforcement. I love building that bond and getting to know them as an individual and meet their individual needs.


17. Piper J.
“I have a pretty anxious dog, but Piper is very patient with him and has been deliberate about building his trust. I can always count on her to take great care of him when I am out of town. I am so grateful to have someone reliable I can count on to looking after him!”

About: I have experience with both cats and dogs! I currently own two wonderful male cats who are emotional support animals. I would love to watch your animals as my cats would love a friend to play with. Walking dogs is also a huge hobby of mine; not only to get exercise myself, but for the dog to get fresh air for a period of time. I would make sure your animals are well fed, watered, and taken care of to your liking. As a pet owner, I understand how scary it may be to put your baby in someone else's care. I would love to ease that stress by doing whatever possible to care for your animal. I would love to also do drop by visits for those who may not be comfortable leaving your animal at someone else's house. Not only do they need taken out every now and then to use the bathroom, but dogs are very social animals that need periodic attention. As shown in my reviews, I have the experience to give the best care possible to your pet! During the week, I have a couple shifts that are 8 hours long from 2:30-10:30 so I will not accept boarding or drop ins during that time frame, but periodically do drop ins before I head off to work. I give care to your pets however their normal routine is - we will complete a meet and greet before booking to go over this.
