“From the first time we met Katie we knew our pups were in good hands! She’s very knowledgeable about pets and we were confident she would do a great job Katie was punctual for all her visits and went above and beyond what was asked of her. Couldn’t be happier with her service”
“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!”
“So far so good. Steven showed me he new what he was doing yesterday when I introduced him to my dog Huxley. I had just adopted Huxley 3 weeks ago. Huxley came from a neglectful home and has never been properly socialized. He bolts when people approach him. Steven handled it like a champ, he got down on his level, talked to him in a calm gently voice. Offered treats and just pet him and showed him he is not a threat. He eventually unclipped the leash and Hux stayed right there. I highly recommend Steven!!!”
“She was absolutely wonderful! So sweet and caring, and Buttons loved her right away. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and that made all the difference. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“My regular walker had to cancel last minute due to an emergency and Karla stepped right in! She texted me with any concerns (ie lack of poo!) and went out of her way to help! She gets two paws up!!! 🐾”
“Five stars isn’t enough! Tyler has been absolutely amazing with my dogs, Cuper and Dash. He walks them three times a week for 30 minutes, and every time they see him, their tails go wild with excitement. It’s clear he genuinely cares for them — he’s reliable, kind, and has built such a great bond with both of my pups. I have total peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. Tyler is truly a gem, and I can’t recommend him enough!”
“Kyla has been so patient and thoughtful with our pup Maisie, and she’s been great to work with! She took the time to earn Maisie’s trust, and now they’re able to enjoy walks around the neighborhood. Very glad to continue working with Kyla!”
“She is amazing!! I highly recommend her if you need a dog walker. One of my dogs is afraid of people and very shy, he warmed right up to her very quickly, I was shocked. She is great with my dogs! Definitely will use her again the future.”
About: My passion for pets and their mental well-being started early. Since 2019, my dad and I have volunteered at animal shelters, walking dogs and house training them to help them find loving homes. Now, as a college freshman, I’m continuing my mission to give back to the community and support animals as they grow. With two dogs of my own I trained and experience raising a litter of puppies, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and engaged. When your pets are with me, they’ll get more than just care—they’ll enjoy fun agility activities, positive interaction, and, most importantly, safety. I am currently a fully time student, along with involved into on campus clubs and volunteers at the Hospital, but, I still make time to take care of animals at my local animal shelter. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. My home provides a secure, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can relax, play, and feel at ease. I ensure all spaces are free from hazards, with secure fencing and locked gates for outdoor activities.
About: I grew up with my family dog (mini schnauzer) and now have an orange tabby cat of my own. I’ve pet sat for several lovable pets through the years and am always excited to have the opportunity to meet and take care of dogs and cats alike! I’m currently in between jobs, so I have lots of time to care for pets and help with other household tasks that might be needed. When caring for pets in someone’s home, I follow all necessary instructions on meeting all of their needs. I focus on safety and comfort, as I do with my own pets.
About: I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old (I am now 19 years old). Along with children, I also took care of family pets. I have two of my own dogs who I take care of and love so so so much!!! Lastly, I have been a camp counselor at Special Session, a summer camp experience for adults with disabilities, for 5 years. I am CPR Certified and First Aid Certified. I am a full-time student at the University of Alabama, but I am looking forward to a summer full of taking care of sweet pets! I will be available pretty much all day on weekdays to be of assistance. I am open to travelling to your home as well as hosting your sweet pets at my home. I have two sweet, older dogs who will keep your babies company and a fenced in backyard with plenty of room to play.
“This was outlet first time leaving our fur babies in the care of someone that wasn’t family. I must say, I didn’t worry ONCE! We got fantastic communication and pictures daily which was so sweet! I won’t hesitate to book with Cynthia again, she was super sweet to our 3 dogs and I was surprised how well they took to her right off the bat! Perfect first time experience!!”
About: I don’t have a dog - let me love on yours! I can offer a combination of love, experience, and specialized skills! Whether it's helping puppies learn the ropes with gentle training or providing extra TLC for senior pets, I tailor my care to each pet's needs. Your fur baby will get more than just a sitter — they'll get a trusted companion who’s got their best interests at heart. I currently work 3 days a week, each week my schedule varies regarding which 3 days Monday-Friday. Weekends and nights are available for late/night shift workers. Small yard and neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks for walking. More than happy to take your dog to a greenway or walk around your area!
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in both group and individual settings. I regularly cared for up to 7 dogs at one home, managing feeding schedules, outdoor time, and making sure each dog got attention and proper care. I also have experience with overnight pet sitting, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, as well as taking dogs on walks and keeping them active. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, routines, and personality, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being I currently work and babysit, but I maintain a flexible schedule and can adjust my availability as needed. I’m able to plan ahead and make time for pet care, including walks, drop-ins, and over nights as needed! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and cared for. I create a calm, clean, and safe environment, and I’m attentive during walks and visits to prevent any sticky situations. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and preferred routines. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect—just like they’re my own.

Tyler is absolutely amazing! He treats my dogs with so much care, patience, and genuine love—it’s clear they adore him and look forward to every walk.

On top of being a wonderful dog walker, he’s also such a kind, sweet gentleman who makes every interaction a pleasure. I feel so lucky to have found someone I can trust completely with my pups. Highly recommend Tyler to anyone looking for the best of the best!

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 your Madison. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Madison.

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 Madison. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
