“Laura has been absolutely phenomenal with the weekly recurring dog walks. She gained the trust of our skeptical Bernese mountain dog immediately, and of course our golden loves her. Highly recommend!”

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.

“Abby and Ian are great as always! I have trouble with buzzing them in sometimes, but they’re always willing to wait. I feel great knowing my pup Kit is getting the attention he deserves while I’m away, and I think he loves seeing them as much as me!”


“We are very pleased with the service Becky has provided. She is both flexible and dependable. She has a good rapport with our dog, is always thinking of his needs. Ricky (the dog) loves her! She is our first choice for dog walking/sitting.”


About: With seven years of experience as a dog owner and currently caring for two cats, I've developed a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. I've learned the importance of patience, persuasion, and kindness in fostering positive relationships with all pets. My experience extends to babysitting dogs during playdates and comfortably walking dogs that aren't my own, always prioritizing their safety and enjoyment. You can trust that your furry friend will be in compassionate and capable hands. My flexible remote schooling and part-time cafe work on Williamson Street allow me ample availability during the week. Weekdays are generally wide open for walks! While weekends can be tighter, with a week's notice, I can often accommodate your dog's needs. Let's chat to find a perfect time for your pup. Your dog's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I come fully equipped with my own leash and eco-friendly poop bags, ensuring responsible and prepared walks every time. I am committed to creating a trustworthy and positive environment for your beloved pet, treating them with the same care and respect I give my own.

“Kali was a wonderful caregiver for my King Charles cavalier. I was out of town for a few days and Kali supplemented his walks during the day. He flourished under her care and I was kept up to date on his status and had no worries whatsoever”


“Ernst is super friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. We have 70 lbs adolescent pup who has a lot of energy to give. Ernst is great at keeping our pup in line. I already notice an improvement in our pet’s loose leash walking!”


About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life but have professionally done in the past 6 years! I love spending time around animals and I also stay hyper vigilant if there’s any issues going on! I am currently working in sales where I spend all day in Costco, so I'm looking for a way to get outside and make a new community of friends, and get some walk and play time in with a furry friend! Always more than happy to make time for your pet! I have a cat named Theo and he gets fed on a schedule three times a day, which seems to the perfect mix. I like to keep pets on a schedule and active so that they’re getting all the enrichment and care that they need! If there’s not a fenced in yard, I’m happy to go for a walk!

“Stacy was great! She was communicative and she listened to all the details about my dog. She is timely and trustworthy, and my dog loves her too!”


“Mary is so great! My dog Luna gets very adorably excited when she knows Mary is coming over for a walk. I totally trust her with Luna and I know they have a good time. Looking forward to rebooking! Thanks, Mary. 😊”


About: I have been working/volenteering in doggy daycares, animal rescues, and dog sitting for the better part of 10 years - caring for animals remains my purpose in life. I have done Trap-Neuter-Release work in Miami, Feral Kitten Rehabilitation in Sauk, and most recently working at several different doggy daycares in the area. I am unable to make normal care my full time job to this time and may not always be available - but I can always fit a drop in or a walk into my afternoon. I cannot board animals at my home due to my own pets and a landlord animal limit; however I am fully capable of adapting to the needs of animals within their own homes or on walks. I believe in gaining trust and training dogs through the use of positive reinforcement - and I will not use fear as a learning item.

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. Whether it was daily walks, overnight stays, and followed detailed care routines. I also love to stay active and will provide long walks in the neighborhood or local parks! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my classes and study time around pet care. Whether it’s starting with a morning walk or stopping by in the afternoon. 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.

“Brittany has been walking our puppy twice a week for several weeks now and it’s been going swimmingly. Communication has been really good and it’s been such a weight off our shoulders to know that Brittany will be giving our dog a fun break in the middle of the day when we can’t be home. She sends photos and little updates to let us know how their walks went and those are really fun to see. Highly recommend Brittany!”

Schenk-Atwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kat is absolutely wonderful with my dog. My dog is elderly and in the last year had both of her "ACLs" replaced. Kat was happy to work with us on gradually increasing the length of walks, avoid pulling or pressure, and go at my dog's pace. I would recommend Kat to anyone looking for a dog walker or pet sitter.

We LOVE Nicole. She has a flexible schedule so when we have needed her in a pinch she is always available to help out. Our pup loves going on long walks and is always so excited to see her. She responds timely to requests and has great communication for how the walk went!

I chose Annemarie to walk my brothers dog. Afterwards He texted me the following: She just returned Ricky after about a 45 min walk. Ricky came back in a good mood. The walker, named AnnMarie, was both pleasant and cheerful. She is worth utilizing if needed again.
