About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’m a retired veteran with a flexible schedule, and I provide dependable, attentive care to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like family. I have a very flexible schedule and can often accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets and can provide dependable care, exercise, companionship, feeding, potty breaks, and check-ins when you need them. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s routine, ensure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment, and keep you updated with messages and photos. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and respect I give my own.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 6. My childhood and the raising of my own family has included many beloved dogs. I have volunteered in animal shelters for over 30 years, and was a Shelter Humane Educator and Volunteer Coordinator. I love all breeds, and enjoy and and am experienced in feeding, walking, cleaning the yard, and administering medications. I am currently semi-retired and am available for walks and drop-ins most days with the exception of Thursdays, when I keep my grand-daughter. Pets enrich my life. I make sure pets are fed, exercised, safe, and comfortable. I follow a routine or the owner's instructions carefully. I keep the home clean and give pets attention and companionship.
About: Neighbors, friends and family continue to entrust me with their pets of all ages! My pup has hiked to high heights with me, but I’ve also loved many in their final, precious days. Wherever your loved one is, I’ll be sure to care for your fur babe like you would! I am a mom of one that works full time for a University from home. Monday through Friday I work from 8-5 with two 15 minute breaks and a lunch break of at least one hour. I am a triathlete that is often up at 5 AM training. Then, I go on a walk every day on my lunch and often again when I log off for the day. I’d love for your fur babe to tag along! I have two fenced in yards full of sun and plenty of shade. I have a 40 pound doodle that can keep them company and give them plenty of exercise if needed, but I can also keep them separated if that is preferred. I have fresh well water and a walking trail around our property. I can also crate your dog or offer them a bed if they need. Otherwise, your loved one will roam free with lots of play time and cuddles. Whatever your fur babe needs, I’m here to serve you!
About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over the years, including dogs and cats. Having grown up around animals myself, I understand how difficult it can be for pets when their owners are away. My goal is to make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re on vacation, and I’ll give them plenty of attention, affection, and care until you return. I am currently a college kid home for the summer. With that being said I have a completely open schedule right now until I head back in the fall! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they stay on their normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also provide plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on each pet’s individual needs and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free while their family is away. I always send updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: Hi, I’m Katie! I believe pets deserve the same love, comfort, and attention they get at home. That’s why I never use crates, and I only take care of one client’s pets at a time. This way, your furry family member gets all the attention, care, and snuggles they deserve—without stress or overcrowding. I’ve been caring for pets for years and truly enjoy making them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime in the yard, or just lots of cuddles, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable and loved. You can feel confident knowing your pet is treated like family while you’re away. What You Can Expect: One-on-one attention (no other clients’ pets during their stay) No crates—unless you specifically request it Consistent love, play, and care tailored to your pet’s routine Lots of photo and message updates for peace of mind I’d love to meet your pet and make their time away from you as stress-free and happy as possible! 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life! Since I only take one client’s pets at a time, I’m able to plan my day fully around their needs—whether that’s walks, playtime, meals, or snuggles. I adjust my routine to match theirs, keeping things as close to home life as possible. Caring for pets isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s the heart of my day when I have a guest! In my home, pets enjoy plenty of space and freedom in my large 2-acre fenced yard. They get to safely explore, play, and stretch their legs without being confined to crates. I only watch one client’s pets at a time, so your furry family member will never have to compete for attention. Inside, pets are welcome to relax and make themselves at home—whether that’s snuggling on the couch, napping in a sunny spot, or playing with toys. I keep their routine as close to yours as possible, with scheduled meals, walks, playtime, and lots of love. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely to make sure they’re comfortable in their own environment. I respect your space and your pet’s normal routine so everything feels familiar and stress-free.
About: My experience consists of watching family and friends dogs and occasionally cats. I had a small yorkie with hip dysplasia and cushings that required meds frequently and I had a black lab mix that has also passed away, who was blind in one eye and deaf. I offer companionship and exercise for your pets when you're away. I can help with training, taking them for long walks, going to the restroom, administering medications, or just being an awesome petter for your puppy (because all dogs are puppies, no matter how old). I occasionally work weekends from 8-2pm at a hotel, but am usually up very early and can walk your dog as early as 5am if needed. I have a fully Remote job and will be able to spend the majority of the day with your pets. **Constant 24/7 care will have a higher nightly rate, if they are not able to be left alone in any capacity, as I will have to rearrange my schedule. When I walk my dogs, I prefer them to be in a harness for their comfort and safety. I make sure to watch the dogs closely, so if I see any signs of stress, I will promptly remove them from the situation. During the summer months especially, I will make sure to walk them early in the morning or in well shaded areas to make sure their paws are well protected from the hot pavement. I carry a dog water bottle with me on my walks, so they always have access to clean water if needed. When dog sitting, I take them out constantly, offer lots of playtime and stimulation while there, and always make sure the area is clean.
“Catecha really stepped in for us while in a bind due to last minute work trips and my overnight work schedule. Diesel loves walks, so I know he was excited for a morning one. Thanks again!”

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.

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.

- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
