Dog Walking Regent

“Ricardo was great! He is very helpful and good with the dog.”

“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!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I recently lost my 2-year-old pup unexpectedly, and while I'm figuring out the right time to welcome another dog into my family, I'd love the opportunity to care for yours like my own. I've cared for many family and friends' dogs & cats, including overnight stays, with experience ranging from tiny 3 lb pups to 80 lb dogs. I also occasionally help care for my roommate's sister's three Great Danes, so I'm very comfortable around larger breeds! I raised and trained my own pup from just 3 months old, teaching her all sorts of tricks — both useful and just-for-fun! I enjoy working with dogs, keeping them mentally stimulated, and finding fun ways to engage with them. I also work in the Emergency Department, so I'm comfortable staying calm under pressure, thinking on my feet, and handling unexpected situations. I'm responsible, attentive, patient, and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, extra attention, help reinforcing training, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being cared for just like one of my own! I typically work three 12-hour shifts per week, which leaves me with several days off to dedicate to pet care! When I'm not working, I love spending time outdoors walking, running, biking, and hiking. I enjoy bringing pets along for adventures when they're up for it, but I'm just as happy having a relaxing night in with a furry friend. I can easily adjust my routine to fit your pet's needs, whether that means getting outside for exercise and playtime, sticking to their usual feeding and walking schedule, or having a quiet day filled with cuddles and companionship. I genuinely enjoy having animals around and would love to make them part of my everyday routine! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority! I keep pet gates available throughout my home to help create safe spaces and separate areas when needed. On some weekends, there may also be a very friendly, laid-back mini schnauzer in the home, but I always prioritize making sure all pets are comfortable with one another and have their own space. I'm comfortable with the realities of pet ownership, including accidents, muddy paws, shedding, and the occasional mess! I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and am happy to clean up after pets as needed. I also understand the importance of following your instructions, maintaining familiar routines, keeping doors and gates secure, and being mindful of potential hazards. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own and do my best to keep your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I want you to feel confident that both your pet and your home are in good hands while you're away!

About: Hi! I’m a graduate student who loves animals and understands how important it is to find someone you trust to care for them. I have experience caring for dogs with different temperaments, including dogs with anxiety and dogs who need medication or extra patience. I’m very responsible, detail oriented, and I take pet care seriously - I know I’m caring for a member of your family. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding schedules, crate routines, and any specific instructions you have. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for drop in visits, walks, and house sitting. I’m reliable and will always communicate clearly about timing and availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort comes first. I follow routines, use secure leashes, provide updates, and create a calm, safe, consistent environment for your pet

About: I am a current college student. I have had dogs since I was 1 while also starting pet sitting at 12. I currently have a dog at home that is my best friend. We love to play frisbee, go on walks, and sunbathe together. I don't have time to have a dog at school, so I would love to help you out with yours! I am currently a full-time student while also working two jobs. I am typically always available before 11:00AM, some mid afternoons depending on location, and always after 3:45. I am also available any time on Friday except between 10:30-1:00PM. I am also available on weekends. I am very punctual and orderly. I am very attentive to animals and their body language, so I feel comfortable catering to your pets' personality. I currently live in a home with two roommates who are very clean and also love animals.

About: *LGBTQ+/BIPOC friendly* I have grown up with dogs all of my life up until last year after losing my pup of over 10 years. I’m ready to take care of other dogs like my own! I am also open to senior care. My experience with animals also include about 2 years of volunteer service at a local animal shelter. I am reliable and responsible with a somewhat flexible schedule during the week! My husband who is a licensed vet tech also can join on walks or visits too if that's okay with you. I work from home during the week, and I can sometimes flex my schedule to accommodate your needs. I am also open to weekends with notice. Typically, my day starts at 7am and I am open to house visits through 10pm. I care for pets in my clients’ homes as if they were my own. I am extremely respectful of space because I would expect the same from a pet sitter. If you need other things attended to while you're away (mail, garbage, etc.) I'm happy to do that for you as well! I am a former teacher, so you can trust me to be reliable and respectful of your space.

“Brenda did a PHENOMENAL job with Pablo :) this is my first time using Rover and I was a bit confused and anxious but Brenda helped me navigate SO smoothly. My dog Pablo gets along with everyone but I could tell from the photo she sent, he was SO happy and content :) I will absolutely be rebooking with her for Pablo’s future walkies”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and I love to take care of them to ensure they stay happy and healthy! I have experience bathing (only dogs) and grooming pets. Most of all, I love spending time with your pets to reduce the stress of their owner being away. My schedule is pretty irregular but I am available a lot of the time! Always feel free to reach out with any questions about my current availability! I like to keep things the way I found them and not leave any mess for the owner to clean up. I provide the regular services like feeding or walking your pet of course, but I mainly strive to spend as much time with your pet as I can.

“My dog has so much fun with Sammi! Thank you!”

About: Hi there! I moved to Fitchburg, WI in 2024 and I’m ready to start pet walking/sitting again. For years in Denver and Boulder, CO and in Lansing, MI, I helped neighbors exercise their dogs by either walking or running them while their owners were at work. For the super active dogs (for example, those who can run 4 min miles), I took them to the park to run while I kept up on roller blades. I've adopted overweight dogs and slowly trained them up to being able to hike two 14ers in a day! I'm also happy to help with simple drop in feedings and potty breaks if need be. If you're in the midst of an especially busy period at work, injured, or going out of town, I'm happy to help out with your pets. I welcome small, big, special needs, overweight, mutts, 'bully' breeds, and everything in between-I love them all. I also have two cats so I’m happy to help check in on your feline friends too. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the week. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly so that my availability is ans accurate as possible. Currently I don’t have the space to sit your dog or cat at my house but I’m happy to go check in on them at your place once or twice (or even 3x) a day as needed. I like to do meet and greets before sitting or walking your pet on my own.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have had the chance to help train a puppy and work with older dogs. I am free most weekends and evenings to help walk and watch pets. I have a pretty flexible routine so I am open to communicating and figuring out times that work for different situations. Experienced with walking dogs on leashes and helping put pets in their crates! Very aware of surroundings and understand the importance of keeping a close eye on pets.

About: I have experience working at a dog daycare, (Dana’s Dog Spa and Daycare in Hutchinson, MN) where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities in a fast-paced environment. My responsibilities included supervising playgroups, feeding, cleaning, and making sure each dog was safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve also spent many years caring for the pets of friends and family, providing reliable cat and dog sitting while they were away and regularly walking their dogs. I’ve always looked forward to spending time with them, and I genuinely enjoy caring for animals! I am available mornings (7am - 10:30 am) and evenings (4pm - 10 pm) on M, T, TH, and F. I am ONLY available Wednesdays AFTER 5 PM. And I am available most weekends as I’m a college student, but I do not have a car on campus so I will be walking or taking the bus! I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I care for each and every pet with the same love and attention I’d give my own. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, prioritize safety on every walk and visit, and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind. I’m always happy to answer any questions and help you feel confident that your pet is in caring, reliable hands!

“Very appreciative of Ellen today for her time to walk storm.”

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.

About: Growing up with two dogs, and always playing with friends' and neighbors' pets, I have always loved spending time with animals! I’ve been dog and cat-sitting for the past 5+ years. I will provide as much exercise as needed, play with, feed, and bathe pets. I would love to continue meeting and taking care of new pets through Rover! I am currently a student at UW-Madison but I will work around this schedule in order to have plenty of time during the day to look after your pets! I am also available on weekends and my schedule is pretty flexible depending on your needs, and I will always make sure that your pet is my number 1 priority during the time they are in my care! I will adjust how I care for your pets based on their needs and preferences! I love to snuggle with pets, but I know some want to play, which I will also attend to. No matter what your pet is like, I will do my best to treat them in a way that will make them happy and feel loved.

About: I took care of our family cocker spaniel growing up. This involved walking him daily. I have since helped with friends and roomates dogs, as well as dabbling in work with other farm animals such as goats and turkeys. I work remotely and have a fairly flexible schedule for both home stays and/or dog walking. I am active and like getting outside in all of Wisconsin's seasons. I like walking and prioritize pets getting their daily activity. This also means making sure pets are safe in their surroundings and I'm mindful to make sure I clean up after them.

About: I've always had dogs growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood. I consider them my best friend. My experience in PetCare is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends dogs over the years. Sitting for different types and ages of dogs from puppies to older dogs for 20 years. I'm an educator of children and that carries into my love to being with animals. Fun fact: I also teach Puppies & Yoga in Fitchburg. I love learning and understanding all different types of dog breeds. I enjoy snuggling and lounging with them, being out in nature, taking them on walks and longer hikes. I go above and beyond what is expected of me, sometimes buying them doggie treats or taking them in my car for adventures and sending the owners dog photos. if this is all welcomed. I'm organized, reliable, and tidy. Always leaving a place I visit or stay nice and clean. I’m available to care for your dog(s) on both weekdays and weekends! I’m an early riser and love starting the day with a nice walk, and in the evenings I enjoy longer walks or even hikes for dogs who have a bit more energy. I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s routine and make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need to feel comfortable and happy. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always make safety a top priority. In clients home, I make sure their dog is kept on a good routine, and their daily needs are met throughout the day. Based on the animal's schedule, I will walk them twice a day, once in the morning and the evening. I will feed them according to their schedule and be sure their water bowl is always full. If any medications are needed, I will follow the guidelines so they are safe and sound. I like to play with the dogs, and snuggle them so they feel nurtured and loved. I love photography so I'll send you pics of your dogs having fun.
