Dog Walking Leopold

“Couldn’t be better!! Came by on short notice and took wonderful care of my dog, even giving her a little grooming :) Would recommend to anyone!”

“Nate just started walking my dogs for me while at work. My dogs like him and seem very happy from the pictures. He is very flexible for last minute walks. I really appreciate him taking good care of my girls while I’m away.”

Danielle A.

“Ella did a great job taking care of Eddy. My dog is a bit timid around people she doesn't know. Ella was patient, and everything went really well. Ella was very responsive to my inquiries. I would definitely rebook her for future dog walks.”

“Stacey is an awesome person and someone I can trust.”

About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of animals for about 4 years now. This is the first time I’m doing this on a site, however, I am very familiar with the needs of dogs and cats and am very open and understanding regarding dogs with specific and unique needs. I have raised 2 female puppies myself and have been entrusted with friends animals as well while they have been away. This is not just a “side gig” for me. Animals really bring me happiness and joy into my life and I don’t see myself enjoying anything more than this! I do have a full time job currently and don’t get home until 5pm on tues-thurs. Mondays and Fridays I work at home. I have off the weekends. I have one ESA dog of my own that would enjoy the company of other dogs in our home! I prefer to bring my pup with me when I house sit, however, if not allowed by the client, I could do house sitting at daytime! Where I spend most of my time with your pet but I wouldn’t sleep overnight at your home as I have a pet at my home.

“Carlee was always timely and gave thorough reports! She had to cancel once due to an emergency, but did let me know. I would definitely work with her again!”

“Ashley was so wonderful! Helped me in a pinch and did it so professional! Shared updates and pictures. This was my first time using Rover and was a touch nervous, but I can now say I’d definitely do it again! Thanks, Ashley!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I recently lost my 2-year-old pup unexpectedly, and while I'm figuring out the right time to welcome another dog into my family, I'd love the opportunity to care for yours like my own. I've cared for many family and friends' dogs & cats, including overnight stays, with experience ranging from tiny 3 lb pups to 80 lb dogs. I also occasionally help care for my roommate's sister's three Great Danes, so I'm very comfortable around larger breeds! I raised and trained my own pup from just 3 months old, teaching her all sorts of tricks — both useful and just-for-fun! I enjoy working with dogs, keeping them mentally stimulated, and finding fun ways to engage with them. I also work in the Emergency Department, so I'm comfortable staying calm under pressure, thinking on my feet, and handling unexpected situations. I'm responsible, attentive, patient, and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, extra attention, help reinforcing training, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being cared for just like one of my own! I typically work three 12-hour shifts per week, which leaves me with several days off to dedicate to pet care! When I'm not working, I love spending time outdoors walking, running, biking, and hiking. I enjoy bringing pets along for adventures when they're up for it, but I'm just as happy having a relaxing night in with a furry friend. I can easily adjust my routine to fit your pet's needs, whether that means getting outside for exercise and playtime, sticking to their usual feeding and walking schedule, or having a quiet day filled with cuddles and companionship. I genuinely enjoy having animals around and would love to make them part of my everyday routine! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority! I keep pet gates available throughout my home to help create safe spaces and separate areas when needed. On some weekends, there may also be a very friendly, laid-back mini schnauzer in the home, but I always prioritize making sure all pets are comfortable with one another and have their own space. I'm comfortable with the realities of pet ownership, including accidents, muddy paws, shedding, and the occasional mess! I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and am happy to clean up after pets as needed. I also understand the importance of following your instructions, maintaining familiar routines, keeping doors and gates secure, and being mindful of potential hazards. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own and do my best to keep your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I want you to feel confident that both your pet and your home are in good hands while you're away!

About: I've been caring for animals for years, both through personal experience and by helping family members. I currently have a cat of my own and previously cared for my family's beloved dog throughout his entire 14-year life, giving me experience with every stage from playful puppyhood to senior care. I'm also the only sitter my sister trusts to care for her three dogs, so I'm comfortable managing multiple pets at once while making sure each one gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and I'm always willing to learn more about a pet's individual needs and temperaments. I think being with pets allows me to be more active, especially when I'm in the coursework mindset. Sometimes my day has a lull in it, but having a pet means that there is a part of my routine that must stay somewhat similar and active. I never mix boarding bookings from different families. I exclusively host one household's pet(s) at a time, ensuring a calmer, safer, and more personalized experience. If your family has multiple dogs or cats, they're always welcome to stay together! Every pet is different, so I adjust my care to match their personality, making sure to keep an eye on their behavior, respect their boundaries, and provide safe, engaging play when they want it.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 5 years old. I grew up in the country in Texas and at one point we had around 20 cats and 9 dogs. We took care of the strays that made their way onto our property, and sometimes adopted from shelters and random people. I was taught love and compassion for animals since I was a young child. I continue to embrace the kindness I have in my heart for animals everyday. I’m usually available most of the time, as I don’t have any full time work to tend to. I also do not celebrate holidays which can benefit pet owners very much because they can count on me being available as long as I have not already booked with someone else. I would be wonderful to your pup insuring they get enough potty breaks, walks if you would like, maybe the dog park upon your approval, and even car rides if you’d like! I offer complimentary treats.. I keep some in my home. And of course I would get them approved by my client first. For cats in my clients home, I would do the same things. I would also insure the cat box is clean, and lots of play time if that’s what the kitty likes :-)

“Abigail and Ian regularly walk my little man Augie and always give such sweet updates on him! I love knowing there are people in the neighborhood who have my back caring for my guy”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have had the chance to help train a puppy and work with older dogs. I am free most weekends and evenings to help walk and watch pets. I have a pretty flexible routine so I am open to communicating and figuring out times that work for different situations. Experienced with walking dogs on leashes and helping put pets in their crates! Very aware of surroundings and understand the importance of keeping a close eye on pets.

“Michelle was great with my great with my dog who was being extra difficult. She was very communicative and able to get my dog outside. Can’t thank her enough!”

“Jenna did a great job with our dog Durban!! Jenna took him for several long walks and he felt safe and had fun with her!”

About: I am a very attentive and loving pet sitter :) I grew up around animals and often found myself pet sitting for people in the community throughout my life! I’m happy to accommodate a range of pet parent preferences! From dog walking to house sitting to administering medications, I am confident in my ability to keep your pet baby happy, healthy, and well loved whenever you need the support! I currently nanny from 12:30-4:30 Monday-Friday, so I have a lot of free time to come and spend with your pet! I’m happy to go for morning or afternoon walks, or fill whatever role you need fulfilled during my open schedule! I will come to your home after we discuss what expectations you have for pet care :) I’ll happily keep your pet company while keeping them safe and healthy and well cared for!

“Very appreciative of Ellen today for her time to walk storm.”

“Megan did a great job with Sami while we were away! We would definitely use her again!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs. I grew up with Labrador Retrievers and have had Labs my entire life. My family currently has a 5-year-old chocolate Lab, so dogs have always been a big part of my life. Over the past two years, I have cared for more than 50 dogs, and I couldn't imagine a better hobby. I have always loved dogs and enjoy staying connected to my love of animals while living in Madison. I'd love the opportunity to care for your furry family member. Book with me! I can't wait to meet you and your pup! I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in May of 2024. I am currently starting my masters at Edgewood University. I work full-time at a CPA firm from 8am-4pm Monday through Friday. I am available any weeknight after 4:30pm, as well as all day Saturdays & Sundays! Please do not hesitate to reach out, as my schedule is constantly changing and I may be able to squeeze in a stay last minute. I provide a wide variety of services for your pups. I live in a safe community right next to the capital, making it very convenient for Madison families, visiting alumni & parents, and anyone/everyone to book! My roommates have a cat, but we do not have her interact with the pups. She stays in a closed door room when I am sitting, unless you are comfortable allowing her to free roam. I allow dogs on my furniture and bed. I have a large supply of leashes, toys, water bowls, and poop bags for your pups. I do ask that you provide your favorite toy for the pup, as this will help them bring a "piece of home" to an unfamiliar place.
