About: My name is Emma R. and I am currently a senior at Fairleigh Dickinson University - Florham. I have been housitting and pet sitting since I was in middle school and would love to help you out! I have worked with animals of all size, age, and even some with medical conditions. I am experienced at giving medication and work well wih animals, as I grew up with a cat and dogs. I am able to care for multiple pets at once, and have a car on campus so I am able to take any job. I am a college student with avalability sporadically so please reach out about specific days and times that you would need care. I am happy to take pets on walks or just sit with them and give them attention in addition to feeding. If staying the night, I am happy to have your pet sleep with me or crate them, whatever they will be the most comfortable with.

About: Hi, I'm Xiomara and currently live in the Chatham, NJ area. I'm a huge lover of pets and have had many growing up and continuing over the years into adulthood. I currently have one cat at home, who is almost 14 years old and at times help take care of my family's Shih Tzu. Our previous family dog had diabetes, so I have experience administering medication should that be necessary. I love dogs and cats, whether they are young or old equally, and you can trust your pet will get the best treatment from me. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule, so I'll have time to play with your fur babies and am available any day you may need. My home is smoke free, one level and has just enough space for your pet to run around safely. My cat will also be around to keep them company.

About: The main thing that sets me apart from other sitter’s is my genuine love and affection for animals & the fact I’m a dog mom helps me understand what other pet parents would need to feel secure and confident when it comes to trusting someone with their pets. In fact, nearly every dog Ive watched Ive gotten close with the owners and family and have been trusted and recommended by many. I would definitely enjoy taking care of your pet as well as loving them and treating them as my own for the time being they stay with me! Hope to meet them soon! I recently resigned from my two jobs leaving more availability in my schedule for what I love the most, which is watching and loving your fur baby! I have a big backyard for the dogs to run freely and play and use the bathroom in if they are house trained they are free to sleep at the foot of my bed in my room. I have a schedule where I feed my pup 3x a day but I’m definitely willing to make any adjustments for your doggy! Even if I have to take them out for a walk more often or feed them more often it’s not an issue whatsoever! I work from home full-time so im always nearby for anything when i have pups in my care. I under That sometimes dogs with anxiety can often find themselves getting into mischief when left alone too long. I have a gated backyard and all fuzzy babies stay in my bedroom when it’s bedtime so I can keep an eye on them at all times. If your doggy has any specific needs or care plan please let me know I’m always happy to hear how I can make their stay enjoyable. If you suspect that your dog may have separation anxiety please let me know so that way i can know to keep them extra close and adjust to them and their needs.

About: I may not have a professional certification in animal behavior, but what I do have is a deep love for dogs, years of experience caring for my own dog, and a commitment to keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved. I pride myself on being patient, attentive, and dependable. I can implement strict feeding schedules and medications, navigate long walks/hikes, or simply recognize when a dog just needs some quiet companionship. I will treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. You can count on me for regular photo/video updates and the peace of mind that your pet is being treated like family. I am an early riser and have the ability to be very flexible. I had dedicated the past 14 years of my life to caring for my late rescue, and am capable to continue doing so for many more. I live in a two-story, single bedroom condo within an HOA community. I do not have a fenced yard, but I will be able to keep your dog active with many walks and interactions with other dogs. My home is spacious and orderly. I am clean and respectful of other's spaces; I treat it as my own. I am well educated and willing to lend a hand when others are in need of help.

About: I've had dogs all my life, the most recently i had a awesome miniature poodle who I was fortunate to love and care for 17 years, so I am familiar with the needs of senior dogs. My schedule is fairly open every day after about 9 or ten am. I'd like a regular opportunity, but one offs will be good as well I am available for pet sitting at the clients home, but due to younger kids I can accommodate pets at my home. Walking and feeding and playing is ideal

About: Hi, I’m Corrine! 🐾 Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always brought me so much joy. I grew up with dogs and even had one by my side all throughout my college years, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pup. I have plenty of experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs, and I always make sure to adapt to their unique needs—whether that means lots of playtime, patient training reinforcement, or slow strolls. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and stayovers, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐶 Fits very well, I work completely remote and find myself have a lot of extra time on my hands. So it is easy for me to take a pause and walk your pup or work remote while doing a stay over or day care. In my client’s home, I make sure to follow their specific routines and instructions so pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I always prioritize their safety by keeping a close eye on their environment, making sure food, water, and any medications are given on schedule, and sticking to their normal feeding and walking times. I also give plenty of love, attention, and playtime to keep them happy and engaged. If I’m staying over, I treat the home with the same respect I would my own, keeping everything tidy and making sure your pet feels calm and cared for throughout the day and night. My goal is always to give pets the consistency they need so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Madison

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Madison is $28 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 27,132 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 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 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 , 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Madison. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
