About: Hi! I’m Shalesa, a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I grew up around dogs and currently have two fur babies of my own, Laila and Deuce, who are a huge part of my family. I previously worked as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, where I gained valuable knowledge about pet care, health, and safety. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have regularly pet sat for family members and friends over the years, giving me experience with puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and dogs with different temperaments and needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while you’re away. Whether your pup loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to treating them like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. However, I have the flexibility to come home during my lunch break for potty breaks, walks, feeding, and check-ins if needed. Outside of work hours, I am available for morning, evening, and weekend care. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care while their owners are away. 🐾💕 I live in a pet friendly apartment with 2 friendly furr babies, I have a lot of space. We frequently go to the dog park to get exercise and take long walks. 🐾💕
“Sarah was amazing! She took such good care of our pup! She treated him like family, took him on long walks, kept him fed, played with him and sent lots of pictures from every visit. I would highly recommend Sarah to keep you pet if you go on vacation or away for a long weekend! This was well worth my peace of mind and our dog being able to stay in his home. ??”
“Above and beyond dog walker with a clear love of animals! Thank you so much for being flexible and helping me take care of my energetic puppy during this busy season of life.”
About: I have had a dog since I was 10, and have taken care of him my whole life and still do in his senior years. I also have helped with my neighbors dogs by walking them and playing with them. I have done this since I was about 10 as well. I am new to dog sitting, but I think it will be very fun! Until the 12th, I am working as a camp counselor. My hours are 7:30-3:00, but I am happy to see a pet before I work for about 30 minutes, and for however long I need to after I work! I’m also happy to come at night. I am happy to do whatever is needed! I am good with senior dogs as I have one myself, but I’m also happy to play with younger pups and walk and take them out for the bathroom when available. I will also obviously feed them and give them medicine if needed.
“Laura is a great sitter! She was prompt, communicated, and followed instructions to a tee. She went above and beyond to make sure me and my pup were comfortable and satisfied. I hope to work with her again in the future!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since my family adopted our first pet when i was 5 years old! There’s something so special about caring for a pet, to love on and care for an animal is the most rewarding/special privilege! Caring for your animal really is a way I’ve come up with saving my marriage, since my husband has cut me off at 4 animals and won’t allow me to have a small farm in our back yard in the city limits😂 but trust me, if it was up to me, I’d love on ten acres of land and open an animal sanctuary! I am also a mental health therapist, and i personally trained our youngest pup to meet requirements to be a certified therapy dog. He comes to sessions with me almost every day! I work ten minutes from home and rarely work more than four hours at a time, making my schedule perfect for frequent play times and potty breaks! I am a regular runner, it’s my favorite form of exercise. I have all the equipment necessary to take your pup on a run with me! That would be such a joy!

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:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 82% 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.
