About: I’m an incoming veterinary student and pet owner. I’ve grown up taking care of my cat and dog and love spending my time with animals. I have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past 3 years. Daily dog walks are an important part of my routine and I have a flexible schedule. I love meeting new people and animals on the island! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and am an active person. I also keep my dog leashed and am amenable to dog’s specific needs.

About: I have a family dog that has been around since my elementary school days, so I have experience taking care of him from both his time as a puppy and an elder currently! I walk my friend’s dog often and he’s a doggie with a whole bunch of energy. I have some extra time on my hands in between jobs and would love to help out where I can! I currently am looking for something new, so I can stick to a weekly schedule if need be. I am also open for pop ins on one off occasions if there is something new on your schedule! I currently have an apartment with an no-pet policy, but I am open for pop-by to see your furry friend. I can make sure to refill their water bowl, give them some dinner, spend some time playing to make them feel some love, and hang out a little if they’ve been lonely all day.

“Kaelyn was great! I was in town for a client-related travel/staying at a hotel and she was flexible for my one-off request and day-of tweaks. She's very easygoing, but has an attention to detail for when we had to switch from dog walks to drop-in visits instead. Given it was a hotel space, she was able to provide A+ care for Delphi given the temporary space/resources even I wasn't fully familiar with.”

About: I’ve been a dog sitter for over four years to a family that travels quite a bit! I also help my neighbors walk and feed their pets when they are gone! I also have a cat of my own in my hometown and love to spoil her!! I’m a recent UW grad in between jobs, meaning I have PLENTY of time on my hands to play with your pets!! I am super communicative and notoriously flexible schedule wise - for I want to be with your pets as much as possible!! My home offers a large open concept for your pets to frolic around! My current schedule allows me to be really good with feeding and potty schedules! I do not have a fence, but I will spend my time outside with your animals in my spacious yard and nearby walking paths and parks!
“Seanna is great! She gave my shy dog ren a bath here in my apartment so that she didn't have to go to a groomer or a self doggy wash where it would be a lot scarier for her! Thanks so much seasna!”


About: I’ve been surrounded by and taken care of animals since I was a toddler. I grew up with all sorts of animals in the home from Guinea pigs and bunnies to dogs and birds! I’ve pet sat on occasion including dogs and cats as well as chickens and horses! I’m currently self employed and am taking on work through Rover to support my business as I’ve experienced a transition with work over the past few months. This makes me very flexible during the week and weekends. I want to provide an experience that makes you feel comfortable and your pet cared for when you aren’t able to be there. Creating an environment that reflects the care that you give your pets is my priority as a pet owner myself.
“I needed some last minute help with my senior dog, and Alissa responded back quickly and was able to help me out!! She came to meet our pets and get the layout, and helped us out almost right away! She is very kind and gentle with our Murphy and even gives our two cats some loving even though we booked her for a dog walk! As someone with OCD and anxiety, my brain and body feel comfortable and safe with Alissa taking care of our senior puppy when we aren’t at home. Looking forward to hopefully booking with her again!!”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life. I grew up with a Newfoundland, walked dogs for neighbors, cared for cats for friends who travel, and even have duck and chicken sitting experience! I'm an active and positive minded person. I'm always down for a long walk, but equally love hanging on the couch with some cute pups/cats! I'm currently working on the weekends only, so I have plenty of time during the week to hang and play with your pets during the week, or in the evening on the weekends. I feel confident in maintaining your pets' safety within your home. I am attentive and will keep them within a fenced area when off leash, can crate dogs/cats when needed, and provide food, treats, medicine, etc. fit to your request/your pets' needs.
About: I had a Maltese poodle mix for about 14 years. He recently passed last Thanksgiving. I have experience pet sitting, cleaning up, grooming, and feeding. And I also have experience caring for older dogs. I’m currently studying at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I live on campus, local and my schedule is pretty open. I have availability mornings and evenings most days, and have flexible hours. I mostly offer dog walking services. And I can provide them with water and bowls as needed. I can also walk them to local parks or other locations.
“Comet LOVED Sofi. She was on time, very caring and patient, and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and cared for. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

“Olivia took great care of our dog Lily. She went out of her way to meet us ahead of time to make sure Lily was comfortable with her. Olivia was also great in making sure Lily had everything she needed after/during her walks.”

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always loved being around them. My family has had German and Australian Shepherds, Dobermanns, and Rottweilers, so I’m very comfortable with larger breeds as well as high-energy dogs. Being around dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them. I currently volunteer at Paws and Claws Humane Society, where I work with dogs of all ages, personalities, and training levels. This has given me great experience reading dog behavior, handling different temperaments, and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also helped my roommate last year with her Rover boarding clients and gained experience caring for multiple dogs at once. I loved getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. One of my favorite things to do is take dogs on long walks and get them outside for fresh air, exercise, and stimulation. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing and getting attention, I’m happy to match their energy and make sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care! I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care and give dogs the time and attention they deserve. I’m able to accommodate walks, check ins, and longer visits, and I love spending time outside taking dogs on long walks or giving them plenty of playtime and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets can stay in their normal routine and feel as comfortable as possible. I make sure dogs are supervised, have water, and get plenty of exercise, attention, and bathroom breaks. I’m very attentive on walks and always keep dogs securely leashed unless the owner instructs otherwise. I’m also mindful of each dog’s personality, energy level, and any special needs they may have. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I will treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own pets.
About: Hello my name is Annamaria! I’m about to be a junior here at UW madison pursuing a career in nursing. I am very passionate about healthcare and quality patient care but I always loved animals! I have a lot of experience with dogs and a little with cats (though I am willing to learn). I have owned my dog for 17 years. She was a smaller dog but I also have experience with larger dogs from my step dad’s pitt mix who is now a senior. In addition I have done a lot of work at PAWs Chicago. I have clocked over 150 hours of volunteer service and fostered 14 dogs/puppies and 2 kittens. With fostering I have gained experience in potty training and giving medications of all kinds. With volunteering I have done a lot of dog and cat socialization and walks. Additionally in moving to level 2 volunteering I took a dog behavior class and gained experience in how to detect and react to rough and anxious behavior in pets. I also love going on walks especially in the summer so if you have a pet thats looking for some activity I’m your girl! I have also had experience with parakeets, hamsters, and guinea pigs (it was really easy to convince my mom to get new pets). As Summer approaches and classes our ending I’m looking at a lot of open availability starting May 16 to be flexible to owners needs. In my time volunteering I have seen that animals all have different personalities that can vary situation to situation so I really want to give your animals the space and patience to get to know me on their terms. Caring for my own animals at home incudes giving them the resources, love, and enrichment they need for a fulfilling day.
“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!”


“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.”

Kaelyn was great! I was in town for a client-related travel/staying at a hotel and she was flexible for my one-off request and day-of tweaks. She's very easygoing, but has an attention to detail for when we had to switch from dog walks to drop-in visits instead. Given it was a hotel space, she was able to provide A+ care for Delphi given the temporary space/resources even I wasn't fully familiar with.

We have had the pleasure of working with Lily for the past five months. She has diligently cared for and walked our dog. Lily pays the utmost attention to the smallest details and is very communicative. We have lucked out with Lily. You will not find someone who is more responsible, trustworthy, caring, and kind on Rover! Our dog loves Lily.

Emily is fantastic! Our dog can get nervous around new people, so she took the time out of her day to visit before we even had walks scheduled to say “hi” to our dog and get him comfortable before she took him for midday walks. Punctual, flexible (we added a day on at the last minute when travel plans went awry), and clearly a great fit with our dog.

I needed some last minute help with my senior dog, and Alissa responded back quickly and was able to help me out!! She came to meet our pets and get the layout, and helped us out almost right away! She is very kind and gentle with our Murphy and even gives our two cats some loving even though we booked her for a dog walk! As someone with OCD and anxiety, my brain and body feel comfortable and safe with Alissa taking care of our senior puppy when we aren’t at home. Looking forward to hopefully booking with her again!!
