About: Hi, I'm Lisa — a Registered Nurse, a mom, and a lifelong animal lover. For 17 years I've cared for people at their most vulnerable, and I bring that same calm, attentive, compassionate approach to every pet in my care. Pet care isn’t a side gig or something I stumbled into - it’s a deliberate choice rooted in a lifelong love of animals and a professional commitment to doing things right. I understand what it means to trust someone with the ones you love and I take that responsibility very seriously. I am independently insured and bonded, giving you peace-of-mind that you are fully supported when I am caring for your pet. I'm home during the day, which means your pet gets real, focused attention — not a rushed visit squeezed between other obligations. When you're at work, traveling, or just need a break, your furry family member will be safe, comfortable, and loved. I structure our days around our clients' pets. Morning walks, midday drop-ins, and daytime care all fit naturally into my daily routine so your pet's schedule stays consistent even when yours gets busy. I believe pets are happiest when their routine stays intact. When visiting your home, I stick to the schedule you've set — meals, walks, playtime, and rest — so your pet barely notices you're gone. That predictability is what keeps them calm, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Nancy Kate did an awesome job taking care of, and walking, our two golden doodles twice a day, for several days, while we were out of town, from daylight til late night. My dogs are not used to us being gone because normally, either my husband or I are always home. She also feed them and made sure they were set before she left them. They were peaceful and happy when I returned, which I so appreciated! I totally recommend Nancy Kate if you don’t want to worry if your dogs are ok when you're not there!”
About: I bring extensive experience from working at both an animal boarding facility and a veterinary clinic, with knowledge of many different species. I can help with everything from starting potty training to ensuring your pets get the best care possible. I work full-time at a veterinary clinic that also specializes in boarding. Before becoming a vet technician, I spent two years as a full-time animal caregiver. I truly respect your wishes and always put your pet’s safety first. I’ve cared for pets in their own homes, making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and safe no matter who they are with.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my hands-on professional background. I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life, including my own dog, who has been part of my family since I was in third grade and now lives with my family in Indiana. Most recently, I worked at a dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m dog CPR certified, experienced in administering medications, and comfortable handling everything from puppies to giant breeds. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away, treating them with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I do work a job, but my schedule is flexible enough that i can consistently make time for pet care. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or breaks during the day, i’m able to fit in walks, check-ins, and quality time with your dog. Pet care is a priority for me, and I plan my day to make sure your dog gets the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in their home, I stick to their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I also keep your space clean and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I grew up with cats and have been a cat owner in the past, so I miss having that daily pet companionship. Since I'm a bit too busy to own a pet right now, I’m looking for a rewarding part-time gig to fill that void. I have a lot of love for both cats and dogs. I’ve dog sat for friends many times, so I feel completely confident handling walks, feeding schedules, and playtime for pups. I’m an observant and patient sitter who helps pets feel safe and comfortable. I currently work Monday-Thursday. I am looking to care for animals in conjunction to my current job. I am available for visits and walks Friday-Sunday. Caring for pets on my off days will be fulfilling and an enjoyable way to spend my free time. As far as caring for animals I can follow the instructions given. Whether it is crating a dog, letting them roam, or enclosing them in a room.
About: I trained my puppy to be a therapy dog for a year during which he got certified and volunteered in schools, and nursing homes. Ive trained all our pets on potty training and other basic training required. I have grown up with pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, lizards, rodents, and birds. I work during the week from 8-4, and have full availability during the weekend.I intend to give the best care with my free time, this includes daily walks, play time, and cuddle time, if the pet enjoys that. On a professional level I have worked previously at an animal shelter as a vet assistant so I am familiar with basic animal care. As for my personal life, I care for the pets in my home or clients home by walking them at least once a day, taking them outside every 2-3 hours depending on their needs. I also clean their environment, whether that be a cage or a living room and of course feed them. I also like to make sure the pet is happy while in my care, therefore I provide any social or physical activities they enjoy. I care for my clients pets the way I would want someone to care for mine.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Indoor or outdoor, I know each animal has a different personality, and I am very patient and understanding when it comes to pets. I’m definitely an animal lover and would love to take care of your pet and provide a positive and enriching experience. Please consider me! ❤️ My primary job is Airbnb management, which is done from mostly my phone, so I have plenty of room to operate off of your time/schedule. I have a fenced in back yard (great for dogs) and a screened in sunroom (cats love it) and am very respectful when it comes to other peoples property.
About: If this is your first time booking, use https://www.rover.com/sit/noran93663 for 20 dollars off! Ive had the opportunity over the last few years to care for pups ranging from 10weeks to senior dogs! I’ve also had the experience working with dogs of varying temperaments from skittish to semi aggressive. My goal is to provide loving care to your animals while providing that reassurance that your pets are being well loved! I’m currently a stay at home mom so care for the animals can be very flexible and fit whatever schedule works best for them. Keeping the dog on their routine helps to minimize any stress! I have a fenced in backyard and I do have a very playful pup that would love to have a friend or pal to play with!
About: I have taken care of my childhood Doberman pincher up until he passed away for over 7 years and currently raising my 3 going in 4 year old mini Australian shepherd dog that I got back in 2022. I am able to keep up with the energy levels of these dogs minus running and love to go on walks and allow them to sniff their environment. I have administered different medications to my own dogs minus injections and can handle taking dogs to emergency rooms and waiting with them for long periods of time. I currently work full time and unavailable from 5am - 4pm Monday - Friday. I am available after that timeframe for drop in visits from 4:30pm -9pm and on Saturdays I am available from 7am - 7pm and on Sundays from 10am - 6pm. For pet sitting services I would prefer if your pet is able to be alone for up to 12hrs during the weekdays and 6hrs on the weekends. This is not a normal pet sitting schedule but I can be utilized as a backup alternative to your normal sitter. Sometimes my schedule can change and I will notify you before if anything changes. I do not board pets due to my apartments restrictions, but available to drop in and conduct 2-3 walks when you are out of town and can crate your dog in your residence if needed. I can also play and provide stimulation with your dog during my visits. I may have to bring my dog on some walks and drop in visits but if there’s a negative interaction I will refrain from bringing my dog along on walks and drop in visits.

I highly recommend Katie 1000 times if I could! She has been absolutely excellent with my 5-month-old Blue Heeler. She is caring, dependable, patient, and treats my puppy like her own. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gives her, and I feel completely comfortable knowing she’s in good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful, trustworthy walker! 🐾❤️
Angelica met Lotus for the first time this week by walking him during a last minute scheduling. I can tell that she's so caring and loving. Lotus is very energetic during walks and he pulls sometimes , so that alone tells me that she is very patient. She caters to him and its such a peace of mind knowing someone like her is caring for my little guy. I appreciate her!

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 Madison. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
