About: Dogs control my life! By day I am a receptionist at a local vet clinic/rescue. At home, I have a rescue Chihuahua who is 8 years old and has been with me for 4 wonderful years. My whole day revolves around pets and I can't get enough. I'll treat your pets like the sweet baby angels they deserve to be! I work a later schedule most days of the week, Monday through Thursday I'm in the clinic until 7, and Fridays 9-5. I have plenty of time for morning and night walks, breakfast and dinnertime! I treat my clients home better than my own. You won't even know I was there! I'm clean, respectful and knowledgeable. I will stick with you and your pets daily schedules, so their routines don't get disturbed.
“Stacey took great care of my two cats and was up for the challenge of taking care of them in the early stages of their introduction to each other. She sent lots of cute photos and helpful updates, and I can tell that she really loves cats.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and absolutely love them! My dog Mickey is totally spoiled, and yours will be too. One thing to know upfront: I work 8–5 Monday through Friday, so your dog would be home alone during those hours on weekdays. If that works for you, Mickey would love the company! Evenings and weekends I’m completely free and will give your pup all the attention they deserve. I work full time, but I spend my weekday mornings and evenings taking my dog to the park and playing. Weekends are always open and I would spend the whole time giving your pet all the attention!! I have a spacious apartment and make outside time a daily priority! Mickey and I are regulars at a nearby Dane County park — your dog is more than welcome to join our evening routine for some space to run and explore. If parks aren’t really their thing, I have a large outdoor area right by my apartment where they can get fresh air away from other dogs.
About: I’ve cared for my own dogs for the past 8 years and have been walking dogs even longer. I currently pet sit and walk dogs (and cats!) for several families in my area. I’m responsible, flexible, and love animals of every breed and size. I’m in school and also work part time. Flexible schedule, please reach out for current availability. Im happy to find a time that works best! I’m attentive, reliable, and always put safety first. I follow pet parents’ instructions closely and make sure every walk or visit is calm, safe, and stress-free.
“Natalie did an amazing job! My little Pablo looked so happy in all the pictures. Glad they had such a great time together. Will be happy to have Natalie help out again sometime!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11, have helped out friends and family and coworkers on long vacations; and, eventually, I adopted and trained a dog of my own from Fetch (local foster rescue in Madison, WI!). I love dogs deeply, and I love walks almost as much! I’ve worked long hours most of my student and adult life, so I understand how important it is to have someone that cares for your pet as much as you while you’re away. Whether it’s work, family/friends, sabbatical/vacation, or a break for solo time, I get how important the routine and schedule is for your pet. Or to have someone you trust step up for a brief period of time while you’re busy. Whether they need snuggles, long walks, or even runs, I’d be overjoyed to take care of your loved one. Their world is only as big as we make it, so it’s a privilege to help expand theirs with lots to sniff and see! I’m currently not working while I focus on my health and family, so I am able to help with your midday, or evening, walks M-F. In your home, I can pop in and out for the walk: I have plenty of poop bags and treats to spare so no need to provide those. I do ask for a leash and/or harness to be provided as these are specific to each dog, and I want them to have the best fit.
About: I have three trained dogs of all sizes and ages (a 8yr old cocker, a 14 yr old lab, and a 7 month old st. bernard). My furry babies are friendly with children and other dogs. We frequently explore the McFarland dog park so let me know if you feel comfortable with bringing your pup along! Otherwise I have a good sized, fenced in backyard for the animals to stretch, run and play. I am a special education teacher for elementary aged students. Over summer months I focus my time and energy on my kiddos and dogs. We love the outdoors! I will have plenty of flexibility and time to work around your pups' toileting and exercise schedule. Willing and able to follow your individualized needs for your fur baby. I am very present (especially during summer months when I am not teaching) so can make sure your pup is getting all the love and attention they deserve.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, bunnies, and more! I’ve administered medications and eye drops, cared for elderly pets, and provided therapy support when needed. I grew up on a dairy farm, so I’m comfortable with animals big and small. I have two cats of my own and treat every pet like family. Available for dog walking, drop-ins, overnight stays, and all-around loving care. I’m pretty much free Thursday after 4pm through Sunday! During the week (Monday through Wednesday) is a little harder for me schedule, but I’m definitely still open, just let me know at least a week in advance so I can plan ahead😊 I provide gentle, loving care in your home, following each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication. I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and ages, including elderly pets and those with special needs. I’m also happy to house sit if desired, keeping both your pets and home well cared for while you’re away. Every pet gets attention, affection, and a calm environment, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
“Stephanie checked on our dogs while we were away for a long day. She left a great recap of their time together and shared a few pics. Communicative and exactly what we needed when we were away the whole day!”
About: As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how much happiness our furry friends bring to our lives. My first rescue pup was a golden retriever mix named Luna, the sweetest dog who stole hearts everywhere she went. I currently have a Rottweiler who loves romping in the yard and excels at snuggling. It would be my pleasure to care for your dog while you are away. Long walks, playtime, and endless snuggles are services I can provide. I am comfortable with large breeds. My work schedule is quite flexible, so I have availability most days. I would be happy to meet you and your dog prior to bookings. I am passionate about animal rescue, and have experience volunteering at Dane County Humane Society. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
About: I’ve been taking care of my dog for around 6 years now and my aunts dog periodically from time to time. I absolutely love pets, especially dogs, and I’d say they love me. I consider myself to be very patient and accommodating so I’d love to take the time to know your pet and care for them to the best of my ability! I’m working M-F from 9-5 so other than that I’ll have plenty of time to walk and take care of your pets! I’m also super flexible and would love to talk and make things work! Unfortunately, I do not offer in home services as I am living in an apartment, but I am more than happy to commute to your home and help out from there!
“Kristopher is so great with my pups. He's quick to reply and super flexible, which makes scheduling a breeze. My boys know him now, and they really enjoy it when he comes to check in on them!”
About: I can't remember a time in my life where I haven't owned a dog or a cat. Many of our friends and family asked for me to watch or walk their dogs when I was a kid. Five years ago, I started a job at a pet store, so my animal care really dove deep as I learned to care for a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to fish and reptiles. I now work as a vet tech assistant and receptionist for a vet clinic in Madison! No condition will scare me off. I love all types of pets, big and small, and I will ensure that any animal put into my care is treated just like family. I'm a part time receptionist and tech at a vet clinic during the week, so pet sitting sessions will come before or after work on the days that I am in. I can stay with your pet at nights, head to work, and return straight to your home after. My weekends are typically open, barring any emergencies or trips, but I am good about updating my calendar. I am very flexible. If you need me to stay in your home with your pet, I can, I will just need to leave for work or other commitments during the day. I will not overbook myself or put your pet's well-being aside for spontaneous plans, as their care is my first priority.
About: Hi! My name is Lensy, and I’m excited about the opportunity to care for your pet. A little about me: I am in grad school (online) and work a hybrid job which gives me flexibility/ allows me to be remote a good amount so your furry friend isn’t alone day! I have plenty of experience looking after neighbors’ pets, from playful puppies to full-grown dogs. I also have experience with birds and cats. I can’t wait to take your furry friend out for walks, keep them entertained, and meet their unique needs. I understand it can be hard to trust someone new with your beloved pet, so please don’t hesitate to share any concerns or specific instructions. I’m here to make both you and your pet feel comfortable! I’m flexible, understanding, and passionate about keeping pets happy and active. I look forward to meeting your little companion! PS you will see a lot of photos on my profile of my family golden doodle Coco, who is my whole world😌 I I often have the flexibility to work remotely and do grad school online which allows me to be quite adaptable. I am available to do in-person visits and check-ins throughout the day, though I’m unable to provide lodging. My weekends are currently free, so I’m happy to arrange care for your pets during that time as well. Please feel free to reach out to discuss how I can best accommodate your needs! When caring for pets in my home or in my client's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment tailored to each pet's needs. In my client's home, I want to be sure to know their routines. I focus on providing a stress-free experience, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for in familiar surroundings. At home, I have a pet of my own, a mini golden doodle named Coco, who has taught me a lot about pet care and the importance of personalized attention. I ensure a calm, pet-friendly space where all animals can relax and feel at ease. I also maintain consistency in feeding times, play sessions, and any special care routines. I always ensure their safety and well-being is my top priority, no matter the setting.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - McFarland
Jen took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of town. She is a great communicator, giving us lots of peace of mind, especially since this was our dog’s first time with an in home sitter. Our dog has special medical needs with a prescription eye drop that Jen took care of twice daily. We loved getting updates and seeing the pics of him out for breaks, getting scritches, bully rubs, and going on walks. Jen has a love of pets that shines through and we felt like she totally got our sweet silly boy. We look forward to booking Jen again in the future!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a McFarland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in McFarland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in McFarland with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 sitter.
