“Christine did a nice job walking Reo. She was on time and cataloged the whole event with lots of cute photos. Our dog seemed more contented with the amount of activity he received on a busy work day with the extra time outside with Christine.”

About: Empty nester, retired, and happy to share my home with your pup. We had a wonderful pup for 17.5 years and sadly he passed over the rainbow bridge about three years ago. I know how important it is to have a good home for your pet when you are out of town. I’d be happy to give lots of walks, belly rubs and love! I have a fenced yard but prefer to walk dogs for potty breaks. Experienced with senior pups. I am an early retiree and have remained active, however, have the time to care for a dog. I take walks regularly twice a day so it’s easy to fit dog walking in my routine I have a fenced yard and a large home. I do not allow dogs on my furniture but am happy to play and lay with them on the floor.
“Michael is exactly what his profile describes. I appreciated him taking time for a meet and greet prior to the scheduled walks. He was sensitive to the particular personalities of my senior pups and was even able to get the temperamental one out on the leash : ) ⭐️ Thank you for such great care, Michael!”

About: I specialize in hiking and outdoor adventures, but am more than capable of normal walks as well. I also take my own dog hiking every weekend, so I know the local trails well. I have experience working with shelter dogs, anxious dogs, reactive dogs, big dogs, senior dogs, and small dogs. My experiences with various dogs and trainers have given me a good understanding of dog body language. Under the guidance of licensed trainers I have worked through separation anxiety and fear-based reactivity with my own dog, and resource guarding with a family-owned dog. So rest assured that if I'm told a dog has any fears or triggers to avoid while on walks, I will take that seriously. I am comfortable with large dogs, even large dogs that pull. I am capable of giving dogs' medications as my own dog is on several for orthopedic surgical recovery, so I have quite a bit of experience doing so. For outdoor adventures, I have done various trail hiking with family-owned dogs, rescue dogs, and my own personal dog. In addition, I have taken several small dogs out boating. I have hiked parts of the Appalachian Trail and Superior Trail, spent weeks camping, and done countless outdoor adventures. I hike rain or shine! Choosing me you can be sure your canine companion will have a safe, fun, enriching experience in the outdoors. I'm currently in college so I am available after class which is most days after 12pm. After 2pm I am available for long hikes and walks. In addition, I take my dog on a 30 to 40 min walk at 5pm and available to take additional dogs with us. I take safety with the utmost seriousness. When going on hiking trails I ensure that I bring a pet first aid kit with me, collapsible water, and a spare leash for emergencies. I also have a vet hotline on speed dial as well as two local vets saved in my phone. In addition if we are traveling anywhere by car I will ensure the dog is safely transported as I own a variety of dog seat belts and car seats.

About: I love dogs & have been around them since I was a kid. I previously have fostered dogs and cats for the humane society. This included a reactive dog and a cat with FLV who required medicine every day. I also have my own dog who I love and care for everyday 🥰 I work from home & am self-employed so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available both on weekdays & weekends. I usually prefer to walk dogs in the morning or evening. I am very gentle with animals and usually get them to cooperate with treats, toys, or praise (positive reinforcement). I let them get comfortable with me at their own pace & read their body language to see how they're feeling.
About: I’ve had my own dogs my whole life that I have cared for! I started walking neighbors dogs when I was about 10, and have done it on and off ever since (while always walking my own dogs ofc:)! I currently am a college student, and am a nanny a few days a week! Looking to care for some dogs/pets as another activity to keep me busy and active! I care for all animals as my own! Safety when I’m pet sitting is the same as when I am nannying: always my first priority!
About: I grew up on a farm and I have experience with multiple different breeds of animals. I take the time to listen to animals and their body language. I work part time. So i have plenty of extra time to spend and care for your fur baby. Im available Monday to Friday after 2pm and weekends! I have plent of yard space and easy access to walking tails and parks. I do have a dog friendly cat who can keep ur fur baby company
“Faith did an amazing job caring for my two dogs! From the moment we met, she was incredibly friendly, caring, and attentive to my pets. I was especially impressed with how detailed her Rover Card was—it really showed how much thought and care she put into keeping me updated. Her professionalism, work ethic, and genuine love for my dogs really stood out. When I’m back in La Crosse, I know exactly who I’ll be choosing to care for my dogs again”

I also want you to feel comfortable while you're away, so I'm happy to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!
About: Hello! I’m an animal lover who recently moved to La Crosse, and one thing I’ve really missed since moving to the city is being around animals. I grew up on a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has always been a natural and rewarding part of my life. While I’m new to professional dog walking and pet sitting through Rover, I’m definitely not new to the responsibility, patience, and attention that animals require. I’m reliable, responsible, and love spending time with pets. I also have experience caring for friend and family pets. I enjoy being outdoors, going for walks, and giving animals plenty of exercise, affection, and attention. I also have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to be accommodating to your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friend, get to know their personality, and become someone you can feel completely comfortable trusting with their care :) I am a Communications Specialist that works remote, so I am flexible when it comes to your pet's schedule and needs. I can accommodate pet sitting while I work from home, and I can also adjust my schedule for check-ins or walks. I live in a pet-friendly apartment that has a secured dog area outside. I also live around quiet and nature-filled walking trails. Depending on your pet's comfortability, I am able to adjust the environment to meet their needs. :)
About: I began dog sitting for friends and family when I was young, and over the years, that experience grew into more consistent and committed pet-sitting opportunities. I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, cows, horses, rabbits, and the occasional fish! I have pets of my own, including two dogs, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and two chickens, so I’m experienced with both dogs and a variety of other animals. I’m also involved with a local foster group; Driftless Rescue. I’m responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy staying busy and spending time with animals. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away! I work full-time between two jobs, but my schedules are flexible, allowing me to provide pet care visits throughout the day. I can typically check in on pets every 4–6 hours, depending on the location and care needs. I’m best suited for pets who are comfortable being left alone for a few hours between visits. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific routine and make sure their needs can be met! I provide pet care exclusively in your home rather than boarding pets at my house. Since I have dogs and several small animals of my own, I feel it’s safest to keep everyone in their own space. My goal is to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible.
About: Stay at home mom that just loves adding to the chaos. I have owned animals my entire life from horses to large breed dogs such as an Alaskan Malamute. In my free time I foster young pups and train them for their forever home! Seniors are also my specialty! Need a quiet, peaceful place? Our sunroom that is attached to a fenced in yard is the perfect place to relax and just feel at home. Besides the typical school runs, I am free during the week and weekends. The occasional yearly appointments/ travel I will block off on the calendar. Lets talk about a care plan! I will treat your animals as my own, but respect your rules within my home as well. For example if training and feeding times take place during certain time frames. We have a small fenced in area, suitable for a large breed dog.
About: I have dogsat ever since I can remember. I have a passion for taking care of animals, and I want nothing more for ever animal to be healthy and loved. I have six dogs, so I have tons of experience taking care of them. I am honest and reliable! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I promise to stop by as often as possible. I prioritize animal safety, so your dog will be let out either on a leash or in a fenced in area! I want what is best for them.
About: I love animals of all kinds! I’m a nurse looking to hang out with your pets on my days off. I have experience with every care need from early puppy socialization to end of life care. I haven’t met a dog yet I didn’t immediately become besties with, from the tiniest chihuahua to the biggest pittie or Dane. I will never turn a dog down because of their breed! I’m also happy to look after any other animals you might have, from reptiles to birds to horses. Just ask and we’ll make it work! I have a rotating schedule that includes a full week off every third week. I work 5p-3a three days a week (and every third weekend). Just message and we’ll figure something out! Yours: I understand being particular about one’s home, so no reasonable request relating to my conduct there would be too much! Cleaning up after myself is a given, as is following any personal house rules. Mine: All of my animals are up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick medication, and I require the same from any animal I keep in my home. They would be kept separate from my 4 cats for the first couple of days, but with discretion and communication I would be fine with introducing them if they were interested in each other. Smoke free home.

Carley is awesome! Hazel is always so excited to see her, and is always tired at the end of the walk😉. Carley is super reliable and flexible with scheduling. She is also very trustworthy with having access to my home when I am not home. I could not recommend Carley enough!

Highly recommend Sydney for all services! We’ve frequently worked with her for weekly dog walks and in-house sitting. She was incredibly patient with our high energy golden retriever while she was going through her biting/jumping phase. She was always proactive in communication and sending multiple picture updates. Would definitely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in La Crosse is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $21 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 225 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across La Crosse. 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 La Crosse. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in La Crosse after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in La Crosse. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
