Dog Walking Lake Park

“Mac did a great job with my pup Cody! He took him on a nice long walk and sent great pictures. His communication was excellent and he was very easy to work with. I highly recommend Max and will be using him again in the future!”

“Jessica went above and beyond all expectations! She was great with Sullivan and even brought in a package off of our porch when she dropped sully off. Amazing walker and will definitely book again! ☺️”

“Yesterday was the first time walking our dog. Jessica communicated when she would arrive, when walking our dog, where they walked and shared photos of our dog taking a walk. I was out of town and felt very confident that Jessica was taking good care of our dog. We will have Jessica take care of Louie, our dog, again.”

About: Hi! I'm Kalina. I've been around animals my whole life, and they've always been a huge part of it. I've worked with rescue dogs and have experience with pets of all different personalities, so I know that every animal deserves patience, understanding, and care that's tailored to them. I have two cats and a deaf dog of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. My deaf pup has taught me a lot about paying attention to body language, being patient, and finding what works best for each individual pet. Whether your pet is full of energy and loves to play or would rather curl up on the couch, I'm happy to follow their routine and make sure they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll treat them like they're my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I know our pets are family, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until you're back home. Care for your pet fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. That allows me to be available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet's needs. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or spending extra time keeping your fur baby company, I'm happy to work around their routine to help them feel comfortable, happy and cared for. When I'm caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'll carefully follow any instructions you leave regarding feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and any other special needs or preferences. I've been around animals my whole life and have experience working with rescue dogs. My mom also fosters dogs, and I've cared for many of her foster dogs while she's away. That experience has taught me to be patient with dogs who may be shy, anxious, or still adjusting to new people and environments. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they're my own. I'll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident they're happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: From second grade until this past year, I grew up taking care of my maltese shih tzu everyday, named Ruby. She was certainly a very spoiled and loved dog! Since she passed just a couple months ago, it's been strange lacking the comfort and company that Ruby always provided me when I was alone- whether that was on long hiking adventures or just relaxing. In spite of her passing, and my overall affection for animals, I'm eagerly looking forward to finding new furry friends to take care of, play with, and join me on my walks! Growing up, I also frequently took care of my neighbor's dogs which gave me experience with all different breeds, sizes, and behaviors of dogs as well as cats. And aside from all my love for Ruby, she was definitely stubborn and picky so I have experience in dealing with difficult dogs, keeping patience, and figuring out how to accommodate each individual dogs needs and personality. Additionally, my sister has been on rover for years and has watched countless dogs and cats through this platform, and I've helped her out a lot, which has obviously provided me with the most relevant experience possible! I will be a junior at UW-Madison, but for now I am enjoying my summer in Madison without classes going on! Therefore, I have plenty of free time and so I'd love to fill it with caring for pets! Living at a prime location in the UW-Madison campus, and having easy access to my car means I can walk or drive to you and your pet and come to your home even if it's outside of campus. Whether your dog likes to loiter around every mailbox we pass on walks, or if they like to run, then I'm the dog walker for them! I'm happy to do a casual stroll and bathroom break, and just as happy to do long, multiple-mile walks. As I've gotten used to my whole life, I will always pick up after your dog and will make sure they stay safe and close to me by using whatever leash and collar you can provide. And no matter the weather, I'm still happy to spend the time outside with your dog! If you just need me to stop by to feed your pet and take them for a potty break outside, then I will happily pick up after them in the yard and after they are done eating. I grew up in nice home with a Mom who always taught me to keep things clean, organized, have good manners, and when at others homes to always leave things cleaner than how it was when I arrived. I've upheld these morals in college and so if you'd like me to stay with your pet for extended periods of time at your home, I'm the most trustworthy and respectful person to hire!

About: I have lifelong experience with animals, having pets all my life and working various animal care jobs. I worked at a doggy daycare for two years in high school, where I gained hands-on experience managing dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. That role helped me become confident in reading dog behavior, maintaining safe play environments, and providing attentive care throughout the day. Growing up, my family fostered puppies frequently, so I’m comfortable with young dogs and understand the patience, structure, and consistency they need. I’ve also had dogs and cats my entire life and have pet-sat for neighbors and family friends for years, caring for both energetic pets and older animals who need a gentler, more attentive approach. I recently graduated from UW–Madison and moved away from home, and I truly miss being around animals. Pet sitting isn’t just a job for me—it's something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I’m very caring, responsible, and dedicated, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I often work from home, so I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m typically not away from home for more than four to six hours at a time, and I’m intentional about making sure pets get regular care, playtime, and affection. Because of my flexible schedule, I can adapt to your pet’s specific needs—whether that’s extra exercise, medication timing, or just lots of cuddles and company.

“Is great with Strummer and has been quick to respond with any questions I have had and updating with pictures and feedback after walking Strummer.”

“Elise walks my dog twice a week, and it’s been a fantastic experience. She is friendly, reliable, and genuinely loves dogs. My dog took to her right away and looks forward to her visits. I also appreciate the reports, pictures, and consistency—she go above and beyond. Highly recommend to anyone looking for dog walker! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog walker!”

Suzanne G.

“Our girl, Ruth, had a great time with Emily! Emily was on time, communicative, respectful of our home, and loved on our pup! We will definitely use her again!”

Katy L.

“Mika is great! They are incredibly caring and good with my dog. They have helped tremendously with his loose leash walking while making sure he gets lots of energy out. My dog loves them!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and friends and family have often relied on me to help walk or care for their dogs when they are out of town! Besides having had a dog of my own, I used to volunteer at both dog and cat rescues. I love making pets happy and helping to give them the best lives possible :) I am a medical school student so I have flexibility in between school and studying for your pet care needs, from daily walks to house sitting! I make sure to consistently keep an eye out for the pet I’m caring for and will offer frequent and honest communication with you to ensure you know your pet is being very well cared for. I will make sure that there’s nothing around within the home that could harm your pet.
