About: Animals have been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember—from growing up around my family’s German Shepherd breeding and training work, to years of rescuing and fostering both dogs and cats. I can provide continuous supervision, regular potty and play breaks, and plenty of outdoor exercise tailored to each dog's energy level and temperament. My home currently includes one calm, dog-friendly resident cat, making for a peaceful, low-stress environment where guest dogs receive focused care and affection. I have worked with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies and kittens. I am experienced with administering medications and experienced with disabled dogs. I work remotely and am home full-time with a flexible work schedule. I can provide 24/7 care for your dog or cat. I am also available for walks throughout the day and week. While boarding in my home, I am able to be available for feeding or potty breaks as needed. I am able to watch the dog or cat to see what they need when. If I am providing drop in visits or walks, my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and evenings.
“Abigail and Ian regularly walk my little man Augie and always give such sweet updates on him! I love knowing there are people in the neighborhood who have my back caring for my guy”
About: We currently have one little dog of our own and have 6 years of experience on Rover. My hubby and I have trained and taken care of puppies as well. We have taken care of pets of all ages and sizes, including birds/parrots (we used to have a parrot!). When we are available and not working, we enjoy taking care of pets in the capacity of walking, drop-ins, or daycare. Depending on the services needed, we are open to all types of pets, sizes, and ages. We are allergic to cats so cannot do daycare at our place for cats but we can drop-in to feed cats. We live in an apartment so do not have a yard but do have plenty of places to walk. If doing daycare, we play, take walks, and snuggle with the dogs! We can only take small dogs into our small apartment for daycare but for services of walking and/or drop-ins, we can do dogs, cats, and other pets of all sizes and ages.
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses, and have experience in oral med administration with both cats and dogs. I have a soft spot for the big dogs (they're lap-sized if you commit!). I run half marathons so getting good exercise in will be no problem (even in Wisconsin weather!). I'm currently training for distance running, so you can expect great exercise for your pet! Whether it's a long meandering sniff-ari or an intense loop around the neighborhood, I would love to know what fits your dog best. As I'm in your home, your instructions are paramount. You know your pet better than anyone, and I am happy to keep their normal routines in place. I like getting to know each animal and their unique personality, and while I *love* giving snuggles and pets, I understand some pets prefer their space.
“Patrycja was a fantastic and professional caretaker for our dog Theo. Patrycja went above and beyond our expectations to give Theo great care and exercise, and did so consistently until we moved to a neighborhood.”
“Hillary did an amazing job walking my shy pup and quickly won her over! In addition to being amazing with my dog, Hillary did and excellent job communicating with me about how my dog did on their walks, tactics she used to help build up my dog's confidence, and Hillary even helped clean up a potted plant that my dog had knocked over one day. I would highly recommend Hillary to anyone looking for care for their pets!”
“Was wonderful!! Layla was so sweet and agreed to last minute give my dog care as I was injured and was not able to take my pup for a walk and play. Trustworthy. Followed instruction. Would definitely request their care again and recommend her to others!!”
About: I have taken care of my family and friends pets for many years. I try my best to understand the pets energy that they display and follow any directions given by the owner that makes the pet feel comfortable and safe. I work as a baker so I have several days where I am done with work either by 11 AM or 1 PM. I am also occasionally available all day on Fridays. I respect the directions given by the owner and try my best to understand the energy given by the pet I am sitting. I do not want to cross any boundaries that make the pet feel unsafe. I am patient with pets and try my best to make them feel comfortable and loved.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 5 years old. I grew up in the country in Texas and at one point we had around 20 cats and 9 dogs. We took care of the strays that made their way onto our property, and sometimes adopted from shelters and random people. I was taught love and compassion for animals since I was a young child. I continue to embrace the kindness I have in my heart for animals everyday. I’m usually available most of the time, as I don’t have any full time work to tend to. I also do not celebrate holidays which can benefit pet owners very much because they can count on me being available as long as I have not already booked with someone else. I would be wonderful to your pup insuring they get enough potty breaks, walks if you would like, maybe the dog park upon your approval, and even car rides if you’d like! I offer complimentary treats.. I keep some in my home. And of course I would get them approved by my client first. For cats in my clients home, I would do the same things. I would also insure the cat box is clean, and lots of play time if that’s what the kitty likes :-)
About: I love dogs and puppies and when I bought my home I was looking for a huge yard that was fenced in for dogs to play in. It also came with a dog door and ramp! Very dog friendly! My foster dogs and sitting made me become more aware of dog and puppy needs from playing, walking and cuddling! I also love to be outside so if your pup likes to explore I would love to take them on a hike or downtown! I currently have a flexible schedule and work from home. I do run errands where I may need to crate however I will discuss with you before hand. Your pup would be my priority! I have a fenced in yard and puppy door so if your dog is independent and wants more time outside they can safely do so. If not I can play in the yard or walk them in the neighborhood, park or downtown.
“Our Great Dane loves Ben. He has had great communication with us during all of his walks and has made sure that Bruno has “done his business” in the mornings. He is our favorite walker”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs! Small or Big not a worry! I love being outside on a long walk but also don’t mind snuggling on the couch if needed!:) I do work a full time job but it’s quite flexible with being able to leave for them to be let out quick if needed! I’m free most days after 4pm and don’t start until 9am most days! I’m the kind of person to act like your dog is my dog! Only the best for your pets because I get it you want the best for them!:) I love to play and give scratches but I’m also willing to cuddle like I said !
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!

Incredible person to watch your pets while you're away. Lacey did such a great job watching our dog and we could tell he was having a great time with her. Lacey brought in our mail and packages (unprompted) and also took the best photos of our dog. We feel very lucky to have someone like Lacey to help us while we are away!
Kali is awesome! She took my girl Sofie on a nice long walk around our neighborhood and let her get all the people watching and sniffs in that a little terrier could desire. Kali is clearly a dog person and I am so happy to have found her to help take care of my pup when I am at work. Sofie is definitely looking forward to more walks with Kali!
Keely has been walking my dog Lola every Wednesday for the past couple of weeks, and I truly could not be happier with the care she's provided. I booked with very little notice, reaching out on a Monday, and Keely came over the very next day to meet Lola, learn our routine, and get to know her needs. From the start, I could tell she was thoughtful, thorough, and genuinely invested in making sure Lola felt comfortable and safe. Lola is a reactive dog, and having someone who understands reactive dogs is incredibly important to me. Keely clearly has that experience and confidence. She pays attention to every detail, thinks ahead, and has approached each walk with care and awareness. I feel completely at ease knowing Lola is in her hands. What has impressed me even more is how thoughtful Keely is about factors beyond just the walk itself. We've had plenty of rainy weather lately, and she's done an amazing job timing walks to avoid the worst of it. She's also been mindful of potential thunderstorms and how Lola might react, which shows just how much she cares about the dogs she works with. Keely has been an absolute pleasure to work with - reliable, communicative, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. I'm so grateful to have found her, and I know Lola is too. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can trust completely with their dog.
Lora was reliable and really gave extra. She came out before hand to learn the dogs and their routes. I am currently disabled and she was so helpful bringing in packages. She took each dog on extra laps if they failed to do their business the first round. We will not hesitate to call Lora the next time we need someone.
Joey is the absolute best -- friendly, reliable, and so good with our 7.5 year old husky-shepherd mix. He was often available on late notice to come walk our dog and always on schedule otherwise. Our dog truly treated him like family. You would be lucky to have Joey take care of your pet!
Jimmy is a great match for our dog Tala! He sees her twice a week and provides her walks, playtime in the yard, and brings his dog so she has a doggy companion to play with. He has been patient and helpful working with Tala despite her having little training as a new rescue dog. We hope to have him as our regular walker for a long time!

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 Monona. 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.

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.
