Dog Walking in Maple-Prairie, Madison, WI

About: I have helped care for dogs from their early puppy days all the way through end of life support/care. While my home currently doesn’t have any pets of our own, I am so excited to watch over and love your pets! I live in a very quiet neighborhood with tons of long walk opportunities. The house gets great sunshine and there are tons of spots for naps. I look forward to caring for your fur babies! I work full time from home, and am able to watch your pet easily during the day. I’m able to swing by and pickup/drop off as needed, and have time during the day to take any walks as needed. My neighborhood is very quiet and very dog friendly. Tons of sidewalks and parks, with minimal street traffic. The house is not currently fenced in, but I am planning to put one in during the spring (2026)!

“Keezieng has been a fantastic dog walker this past week! Very flexible and always on time, he made sure that Stella always had a nice mid-day walk.”

“Isabel was reliable and send daily photos of her walks with our pooch. She was flexible with adjusting plans due to weather circumstances.”

“Our dog has a lot of anxiety and fear because of a very troubled past. After years of working with and understanding him, we have developed a protocol for him to give to friends, that if they follow, we can all but guarantee that Zuko will love them. Is the protocol super extra? Yes, but who isn't extra for their baby? Kyle was extremely understanding and followed every instruction we gave him to a T (which is more than we can say for many of our friends). He was also not afraid to ask questions and clarification which we greatly appreciated. He was patient, kind, nonjudgmental, and was very happy and excited to get to know Zuko. We're excited to start working with him and could not recommend him enough.”

About: As a dedicated pet parent of two playful dogs and one calm, loving cat, I bring hands-on experience and a deep understanding of animal care to every pet I look after. What sets me apart is my balanced approach — I make sure dogs get the right mix of exercise, social play, and rest, monitoring that they eat well, stay hydrated, and walk safely with good leash manners. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and energy level, helping shy pets feel comfortable and energetic ones stay engaged. For cats, I focus on clean litter boxes, proper feeding schedules, and enrichment through gentle play and interaction. I treat every animal with patience and structure, keeping their space clean, routines consistent, and ensuring they feel secure and loved while you’re away. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can give frequent potty breaks, playtime, and attention — keeping dogs active and cats comfortable without long gaps between care. I monitor mealtimes closely to ensure everyone eats well, and I’m available to notice any changes in behavior or needs right away. Evenings wind down with calm walks, snuggles, and a quick tidy of food areas and litter boxes, so every pet settles into a clean, cozy space for the night. My flexible routine ensures your pets get reliable, loving care and plenty of company all day long. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I start by following the owner’s detailed instructions for feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications, ensuring consistency with what each pet is used to. I take time to build trust with each pet—offering gentle attention, play, and positive reinforcement so they feel comfortable in my presence. I keep living areas tidy by refreshing water bowls, cleaning up after meals, and maintaining clean litter boxes or outdoor areas. Throughout each visit or stay, I monitor their behavior, appetite, and energy levels closely, sending regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and safe. I also take care of home basics like collecting mail, watering plants, or adjusting lights if requested, so the home feels lived-in and secure. My goal is to make your time away worry-free—knowing your pets are cared for with the same love and attention I give my own.

“Paula was amazing! I know our little guy can get unsure meeting people, by his tail wags he was happy to see her! She was very understanding, accommodating, and showed lots of love to Harvey! She took care of him at our home and at her house. From the pictures he looked like he was in a resort getting sunshine! Highly recommend her she is super caring and nice! Thank you Paula!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a preteen. I've had 3 dogs and 2 cats in my lifetime. I have 2 cats of my own: 3 yr old American Shorthairs. My family has a 63 lb. 5 y.o. golden doodle. I try to willingly help anyone that reaches out! I would love to help play, walk, feed, etc. if I can. I am a nurse and joined the app to maybe do some walks or visits when I can. I plan on updating my schedule as I know my work one. I would love to meet new pets when I can! I have been to multiple people's houses to take care of their furry loved ones. I am calm and gentle. I know that animals can be timid to strangers, so I am always cautious. I can crate your pet if needed, put gates up, clean up messes.

“Carlee was always timely and gave thorough reports! She had to cancel once due to an emergency, but did let me know. I would definitely work with her again!”

“Kaylyn is wonderful!! She is very quick to respond when I message her. She keeps me updated on how my dog’s walk are going and I love getting a picture from the walk. My dog Raven loves when Kaylyn comes to visit. I would highly recommend Kaylyn!!!”

“Allegra has been so helpful, not only in walks but also advice! My dog has had a crusty nose that hasn’t gone away even with vets advice and she was able to give me tips that got it so much better.”

About: Animal loving family would be delighted to provide love and care for your furry babies, both cats and dogs. We care for them as if they are our own. Experience with younger and older pets, including those that may need extra care. We work from home and can manage visits anytime, including throughout the workday. We currently have 2 adult cats that have indoor and outdoor privileges on an invisible fence. We care for them daily including multiple feedings and playtime. They are family members and receive nearly equal amounts of love and attention as our daughter. We work from home and can manage any odd times for care. We also enjoy being active and outside in all weather, so walking dogs is a great outlet for us. When pet-sitting we follow the guidance of the owner and their instructions for care. We treat all animals as if they are our own and always put their needs first.

About: New to Rover, but NOT new to pet care! I have taken care of dogs, cats and other animals since I was 12 years old! I've had pets of all kinds for the past 10 years and I have also been hired to pet-sit for family, friends, and neighbors throughout middle school, high school and college! Additionally, my father owned a small dog walking business in our town while I was growing up, so I have lots of experience with walking all kinds of dogs. I am familiar with how to walk with and take care of dogs of all sizes from chihuahuas to great Danes! And I have experience working with varying ages, from puppies to older doggos who need additional care such as medication administration or walking accommodations. In addition to growing up with dogs, I've also had and taken care of cats, reptiles (lizards and turtles), rodents (hamsters, guinea pigs, rats & rabbits), and fish which gives me a wide range of drop-in visit expertise! I am familiar with how to clean liter boxes or small animal enclosures/cages, cleaning water fountains and food bowls, serving food and treats, administering medications, playing with your pet or using other forms of enrichment, etc. I am looking forward to working with you and your pet(s)! During the school year I work part-time, so I have plenty of time to hangout with your pet(s)! I am available on weekdays in the mornings from 10am-1pm or evenings from 6pm-10pm. My weekend availability fluctuates, but when I am in town I am generally available on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am-10pm! Over the summer (June-Aug) I work as a camp counselor, so I am unavailable during the week but have availability over most weekends : ) I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs, cats or small animals. To ensure your pet gets the best from me, I make sure that I have detailed instructions about what your pet needs from my visit and/or walk. This includes having conversations about things like how much to feed them and when, litterbox changing specifics, changing your pets water, keeping your pets areas clean, any medication instructions you have for me, where you want me to walk your dog, expectations for waste disposal, or any other specific details I need from you in order to take care of your pet!

About: Hi, I’m Amy! I am a Registered Nurse who is looking to spend some time with pets instead of people for a change! I’ve owned and been around pets for most of my life, and currently own a 2 year old ‘kitten’. As a nurse I am quick on my feet, caring, and dependable. Working the graveyard shift, I look forward to spending time outside with furry friends during the day ☀️ I currently work the graveyard shift, 7pm-7am. I fit pet care into the daytime hours, typically early morning after work. The hours that you are at work are the hours that I am free! As a cardiac RN, you can depend on me to provide excellent and loving care for your pets just as I would my patients. In my home, my cat is rarely alone for more than few hours, and prioritize enrichment time!

“Megan did a great job with Sami while we were away! We would definitely use her again!”
