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: Hi! I have been fostering and caring for animals from a very young age. I have experience fostering three cats (at different times) needing specialized medical attention including surgery recovery, wound care, and giving medicine via syringes. I've also fostered a young beagle along with her 7 puppies, caring for them when they had fleas and completing nail trims. Aside from fostering, I have babysit both cats and dogs for my neighbors and my family had a black lab mix who passed away at 13 years old. I'm currently working remote and part-time, so I have very open availability. Right now I walk dogs from 11-12 p.m. every weekday, but other than that I am almost always open. I have a great attention to detail, so I will make sure to review any specialized requests and notes from you before starting. I will care for you pets how I care for all animals, with patience and compassion. If you would to see more of my professional experiences please message me and I can share my LinkedIn or resume.

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.

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 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.

About: I’ve been connected to animals from a very young age! I’ve always gravitated towards dogs among people and love playing with them and keeping them active. I’ve walked my own dog, Pearl, multiple times a week when I lived at home and dog sit several dogs throughout my time. I love giving animals extra love and a great experience. I currently have free time this summer before I leave for grad school at UPenn! My schedule is very flexible and willing to work sporadically or consistently with pets! I’m good with walking dogs with whatever routine works best for them! I’m highly adaptable and ensure that pets are both have funny and being safe.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or your cat prefers a calm companion and plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also have years of experience with senior dogs with health issues. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know what makes them happiest I am a full time student in the spring and fall and normally take summer classes but this summer am saving money and taking a summer off. I have a huge amount of availability and am willing to accommodate most schedules and dates, lengths of work etc. my routine every day is walking my dog a couple miles, school work outside of the summer, afternoon walk and weekends I take her swimming at salmo pond or Indian lake. At my home I have a fenced in back yard and I have a counter surfer and a chewer so my house is always puppy proof as no doors are left open and all food and paper is pushed back by the counter. It is a no tobacco house hold and all medication, vitamins, supplements or inside a mirror cabinet. I do not purchase chewing gum with xylitol in it ever. I have extremely reliable and will answer the phone most times and if I don’t I will call back generally within a half hour. I am not afraid to ask questions about dog care if I need to clear something up. I only let my dog meet another dog if I feel comfortable with it and trust the dogs demeanor

About: I love dogs. My family has had dogs since I was a young kid. I also have experience as a dog sitter/walker for previous bosses. I'm a recent graduate of UW-Madison. Flexible schedule for at least the next three months. I am working another part time job with flexible hours. I would prefer notice for sitting bookings. I have experience with basic dog training, and have an authoritative manor when working with dogs, as well as really enjoying and having fun with dogs. I bike as my main transportation so I am very mobile in the summer/warm weather months. Ideally I'd like to have a regular walking/sitting schedule, but I'm happy to do overnights/dog sitting while owners are on vacation or need occasional help with their dog. I’m currently in between jobs! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule currently to add both daytime and overnight pet care needs. My schedule will continue to be flexible through summer 2026. I have a number of beautiful dog friendly trail locations that I like to take dogs for longer walks. Otherwise if you’re looking for a short walk I’m happy to take your pup around the block! Please let me know about any household rules or needs, and I’ll be sure to respect the household culture that I step into.

About: I’ve had dogs growing up as a child. My own kids love animals and enjoy being around pets and helping care for them. We enjoy caring for neighbors pets when they go on vacation. We are a family of educators, so we have a lot of availability in the summer. During the school year, we are available most weekends. We do not have a fenced yard, but we do have 3 kids who LOVE to take dogs on walks and play with pets. We can play with your pet outside on a leash, or inside our home.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, so being around animals has always been a big part of my day to day. I don’t currently have one at my place, which is honestly why I’m excited to get back into it and spend time with dogs again. When I was younger, I ran a small dog walking business in my neighborhood, so I’m used to handling different dogs and making sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I’m super reliable, easy to work with, and I genuinely enjoy being around animals. Whether it’s a quick walk or just giving your dog some extra attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Although I don’t directly have a yard, I am right by a bunch of places to walk to! I’m currently a college student, so my schedule is pretty flexible throughout the week. I’m able to work around classes and am available for mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day. I also enjoy staying active, so I’m always happy to spend extra time playing with your animal or making sure they get attention during visits. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure doors are secure, follow any instructions you leave closely, and keep a clean and safe environment during visits. I’m also big on communication, so I can send updates and photos to keep you in the loop. You can trust that I’ll treat your home and your anima with respect and care every time.

About: I have had pets my entire life, both cats and dogs. I raised my two current cats from kittens and helped train my family dog as a puppy (she’s now 7). The past few years my family has been part of a program where we train a puppy for two weeks before sending them off to their forever home. I am currently working a part time job with a pretty flexible schedule so with notice i can be available weekdays or weekends to have plenty of time with your pet(s)! I have an apartment with three lovely cats (2 are mine, 1 is my roommates). They all grew up around dogs and are very tolerant.

I have a high energy puppy and Patrycja did fantastic with him! I appreciate that she was on time and communicative. It definitely felt like she enjoyed the walk as much as him and it was a great help to have someone get a little energy out of my puppy when I had a long day. This was my first Rover walk, and she was patient with my newness to the platform.

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.
