About: I have lived with pets all my life and have over 6 years of professional experience in all kinds of animals (including but not limited to) birds, reptiles, and amphibians. I have 1 green cheek conure, 1 desert tortoise, 2 cats, and 1 dog myself. I can medicate your animals, but also help with training, exercise, grooming, and other enriching or basic husbandry care. I’ve recently moved to Woodland to help my sister with her kids, which leaves me some time for myself but not enough for a full time job. That’s where pet sitting comes in for me. Animal care is an important thing to me, and I love to know I’m helping your pet live their best life. Most pets will be comfortable in their own home so I can make house trips at least twice a day, perhaps more depending on where you are located respective to me. If you’d like me to take your little one into my own home, we can talk about it and go from there :)

About: Hello! Thank you for considering my profile. I am a compassionate and dedicated Veterinary Assistant with a deep love for animals. I graduated from UCD, where I gained the knowledge and skills needed to excel in the veterinary field. With a strong sense of empathy and a natural ability to care for creatures of all kinds, I play a vital role in supporting veterinary teams to provide high-quality care. From administering medications to assisting in diagnostic procedures, I ensure that animals receive the best possible treatment. My responsibilities extend beyond routine care, including managing medication schedules, monitoring animal health, and offering comforting support to pet owners during difficult times. Whether it's providing post-operative care or preparing animals for their exams, my hands-on approach ensures that every animal is treated with the utmost respect and kindness. My attention to detail and dedication to improving the well-being of every animal I encounter make me an invaluable part of any team. I am focused on continuous learning and growth, always seeking to expand my knowledge and skill set in the veterinary field. With my caring nature and unwavering commitment to animal welfare, I am not just a veterinary assistant—I’m a true advocate for the animals I serve. As a pet sitter, I manage my open schedule by staying flexible and organized to provide the best care for each pet. I prioritize scheduled visits for feeding, walking, and playtime, while being ready to adjust if an emergency arises, such as administering medication or addressing an urgent need. I maintain clear communication with pet owners, ensuring their pets' routines are followed and offering updates when needed. My ability to adapt allows me to give every pet the attention and care they deserve, whether it's a planned visit or an unexpected situation. In my household, I ensure my pets receive proper care by providing fresh food and water daily, regular exercise, and grooming as needed. I schedule vet visits for check-ups and keep up with medications. I create a safe, comfortable space for them and pet-proof the house to ensure their safety. I spend quality time with my pets, offering mental stimulation through play and bonding, while also ensuring they are socialized and emotionally supported. I stay alert to any health changes and am prepared for emergency care if needed.

About: Hi there! I’m Kiet! A passionate and attentive pet caregiver with experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable while their humans are away. I’m especially skilled with pets who need a little extra care. Both of my cats require a special medical diet, so I’m very comfortable preparing and following precise feeding instructions. I also have experience with anxious animals, my cat Robin is quite shy and sensitive, so I understand the importance of creating a calm and reassuring environment. Whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication, or simply providing companionship, I take the responsibility of pet care seriously. I’ve recently moved back home and currently have open availability! I’m more than happy to take care of your companion for extended period. Thank you! At the moment I am not taking any care from my own home as I share a house with roommates. Thank you for your understanding!

About: I have years of animal shelter experience, so I have been trained to interact with animals of all sorts of temperaments. I've been an animal love my whole life and am usually the first person my friends think to call when they go out of town to care for their furry children (: I've had at least 1 dog in my life from the time I was 8- so my daily routine has always consisted of including a little pal to care for and spend quality time with. I treat any animal under my care the way they should be treated- like a family member who requires belly rubs, treats, and high pitched conversation as if their life depends on it (; In all seriousness I treat all animals with all the TLC they deserve.

About: I am currently a medical student with a pretty flexible schedule and deep love for all animals. I have owned cats my entire life and a couple dogs. I care greatly for the happiness of pets. They deserve nothing but love and comfort in their caregiving. A bond between pet and owner is very special and I know how hard it is to have obligations that take you away from them for any amount of time. It’s important to me that your pet receives the comfort, affection, and mental stimulation they need while they are waiting for you to come home. I am a lover of all dogs, big dogs, little dogs, young and old. I am very excited to get to know your dog by walking them, feeding them, and stopping by to take care of your dog if you are out of town. Puppies are no problem. I may not have as much experience working with dogs but I have not met a dog that did not like me and I am very friendly and excited to spend more time around dogs. I won't let you down! I have a deep love for cats as well. They are simply such a gift. I have much more experience in caring for cats. I have school 4 days a week from 2-4 hours a day. I have plenty of free time for loving on your sweet pets. I am willing and able to come to your home where your pet is most comfortable! I also have the ability to host them at my apartment where we have nearby walking paths and a dog park!

About: I love dogs! I’ve grown up around dogs all my life. I currently have a lazy English Bulldog, and a high energy Retriever mix! Long hikes are a hobby of mine, so we do lots of walking on our own. I have developed a skill of listening to my pets when they are tired or hot and ready to call it quits on a walk. I can walk more heat-sensitive dogs while listening to their needs, and I can walk high energy dogs until they’re ready for a nap. Your dog and I will become best friends by the time our walk is over. Anytime any day! I am very flexible, and willing to work on any time frame. I spend a lot of time at home and walking the dogs. I have a fenced yard and we love to play! Lots of walks and lots of water with this heat! And always time to cuddle in our house!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Madison

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 2,906 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Madison. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Madison after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

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.
