Dog Walking in Nobel Park, Madison, WI

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the lifelong experience and genuine love I have for animals. I grew up in a home full of dogs and have always been surrounded by pets, learning early on how to care for them with patience and attention. Today, I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I treat every pet like my own, with kindness, consistency, and a lot of love. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra playtime, I ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very open and flexible schedule, which means I’m available throughout the day to give your pets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or an afternoon check-in, I’m able to provide consistent, dependable care. My background in teaching also means I’m organized, responsible, and great at following routines—qualities that translate well into attentive, loving pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, give walks or playtime, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and any instructions you leave, whether it’s about medications, crate time, or favorite toys. If I were to offer care in my home, pets would have a calm, pet-friendly space and lots of companionship throughout the day. No matter the setting, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you're away.

About: I have lived with dogs my whole life along with owning my own precious cat, Peaches, the last two years. I know how unsettling it can be to leave your best friend, which is why I want to help provide the care necessary to make you feel confident that your dog or cat is being taken care of as best as possible! I do have a full time job but it is hybrid and offers me flexibility to take care of and give pets the attention they deserve! I have the capability and experience to make sure pets are safe in my home as well as the right safety measures to keep them safe in their own homes.

About: As many other animal-lover's, I have had animals in my life ever since I was born. My very first pet was a black cat named Korn that my parents adopted right before having me! Ever since I have never been without animals in my life. I'm knowledgeable in care for cats, dogs, reptiles and other herps, fish, birds, and horses. I personally have two German Shepherds, a cat, and crested geckos. My dogs I got as puppies and trained them with my mother, so puppy duties are easy for me too! Additionally, I used to work as an adoption manager and took care of two facilities that specifically adopted out cats, so I've worked with many different kinds of cats of different ages and disabilities. I have a plethora of experience with many different species and breeds of those species! My schedule is completely open and flexible. I'm able to be molded into your schedule as you need it! Some Saturday's or Sunday's I will be vending at fairs, but they're not often and only a few hours during the one day! I take care of my own animals whenever I am home. I have two german shepherds, one cat, and crested geckos. The mammals in the house all have the same food schedule. My dogs get lots of outside and inside playtime with me and each other! I love playing with Eva too, and she is big into snuggles (drool city when petting her). I also have crested geckos and have their own personal schedule I attend to (feeding 2-3x a week, watering daily, handling the young ones to get them adjusted to human touch.

About: I have taken care of dogs of my own for my whole childhood and have enjoyed taking care of friends when they are out of town, as well. I am a college student-athlete, so while I am busy some parts of the day, I have a lot of availability to take great care of your pets! I am great at following detailed instructions and can accommodate what I’m doing for what is best for your animal. I can watch animals in your home and can make some exceptions to watch in mine, depending on if I’m home or at school.

About: I have eagerly taken on the responsibility of pet care since childhood, which includes my own pets, the pets of family and friends, and yours! I am hoping to get a part time job for the summer soon, but as of now I am available most days of the week! I always make sure every animal in my care is getting their needs met. Due to my experience, I can identify and resolve most issues.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals. I’ve dog sat several times over the span of a decade. I’ve cared for dog breeds of all ages, sizes and personalities.

Typically I am available Monday-Friday. In clients houses, I make it my top priority to care for your space, respect your pets as I would my own home. I stick closely to your pets usual routine for feeding, walks and playtime. And I’ll always keep you updated with photos or messages to see how they’re doing.

“Anna asked lots of great questions prior to the her walks that helped her get a feel for how my dog was as a walker. During her walks, she provided several pictures each time and left me summary texts of how the walk went and any notable events. Overall my dog was very well-cared for, and I feel that she was a great experienced dog walker and I will definitely be requesting her walks in the future!”

About: I have been an animal lover all of my life; from dogs, to cats to rodents and turtles and more. I know that a well-trained pet requires attention and routine. I am proud to offer consistent potty breaks, playtime and walks to keep your best friend happy and healthy while you are away. I am more so available on the weekends (Friday-Sunday) but am willing to help with daily potty breaks, meal time and walks throughout the week. I have a pretty flexible schedule so if you do require overnights during that week, I am willing to accommodate. I look forward to helping you feel more secure in your decision to use a pet sitter over leaving them in a kennel. Your pet family will be welcomed as one of my own.

“Sarah was great! Super friendly, responsible, sweet, and an obvious animal lover. We are lucky to have found her to help us with our dog, Pax!”

About: Hello fellow dog lovers! I am currently a Madison resident and Rover employee for 5 years. I have been dog walking and sitting both independently and through dog walking apps. Although I do not currently have a pet, I am delighted to get my fix of dog love by caring for your furry friend. I have adopted a pup of my own in the past, and I know first hand that a busy schedule can really interfere with your dog's needs . The main reason I joined this business is to solve that problem .

I can't wait to meet you and your pet! I am currently self employed and have a very flexible schedule, so I am able to take some last minute requests most of the time. I live in Sherman Village area, and am just steps away from the beautiful Cherokee Marsh Unit, where many walks and dog park visits await.

About: As a passionate and experienced dog sitter, I bring over 5 years of pet-sitting experience and 4 years of hands-on care with my own pup, who I adopted as a puppy and has grown into a playful, loving companion. He’s wonderful with other dogs and children, which means your furry friend will have a built-in buddy during their stay! I provide a fun, safe, and loving environment for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I live in a dog-friendly apartment just 2 miles from a spacious dog park where I frequently take dogs for exercise and playtime. Whether it’s walks, runs, car rides, or simply cuddling on the couch, your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, and activity while in my care. I’ve also volunteered at the Humane Society in Green Bay during college, where I gained valuable experience working with dogs of all breeds and energy levels. I pride myself on being active, attentive, and highly dependable. When your dog is with me, they’re not just being watched—they’re being cared for like family. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pup like their own, provide regular updates, and ensure they feel right at home, I’d love to be that person. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I can’t wait to meet your best friend! I work part time monday - thursday and my boyfriend starts work later in the day so my pup usually is only home alone for 5 hours out of the day and I come home during my breaks. I usually take him potty and feed him at that time and allow for some play time before going back My puppy loves running. He is a high-energy dog so we do walks and he has lots of toys to play with. We also have a balcony so we like to people watch together in the mornings ! If your dog is not into other dogs or high energy, my pup is also crate trained.
