“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!!!”
“Tyler is wonderful with my dogs! Very professional, sensitive, and kind. My babies are so happy when he comes to get them out of the house for some much needed exercise 3 x a week. I’m so Thankful that he is here to help out. 5 stars!!!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Alison was fantastic with my dog and made the whole experience super easy and stress-free. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure my dog was comfortable and well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and could tell my dog enjoyed the walks and time with her. I’d definitely recommend Alison to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring.”
“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”
“Katrina was incredible with my senior dog (Sonny) who needed a little extra care, patience, and attention. From day one, she treated him like her own, making sure he felt safe and loved. She’s punctual, professional, and communicates clearly with thoughtful updates after every visit. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and dogs love her right back. If you’re looking for someone truly elite, especially for a dog with special needs, Katrina is the one.”
“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!!! 🐾”
“Tess is amazing! My two pups warmed up to her very quickly and just love her! She is very prompt and communicative. She has a clear love for animals and I’m so glad I found her through Rover!”
“Elizabeth provided an exceptional level of care for our pets. We are happy that she was available to spend time and take care of our animals while away. 10/10, would absolutely book again.”
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Madison on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
