“Laura was fantastic. We did a meet and greet the day before she started, and Hambone took to her immediately. Laura was prompt and responsive. She walked our dog while she stayed at my elderly parents house, and they were thrilled to have her. She was friendly and warm. I would not hesitate to book walks with her in the future.”

About: I have pet-sitting experience for all kinds of animals. I've always loved pets and have a house full of chickens, rabbits, cats, a snake, birds, fish and dogs. I am a respectful and accommodating person, happy to give you regular updates, send pictures, and if you would like, collect your mail or water your plants. I am organized and I will ensure your home is the same upon your return. I'll be glad to walk your dog(s) in the morning and/or in the evening. We can gather these finer details of your pets via email. I have experience with all kinds of animals. From raising them to providing proper space for them as well as long term care. Chickens, Great Danes, reptiles, you name it. I've owned many animals all my life and I want to continue to add more experience by sharing my time with other pets. Caring for all kinds of animals brings me incredible joy! Ensuring they have fresh food and water, exercise, stimulation, and love is of the utmost importance. I am flexible and can work with you to suit the needs of your pets. I'm comfortable giving medications too.

About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and caring for them. I have experience with dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, cleaning up after them, and spending time playing and keeping them comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic or more shy and relaxed. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while their owner is away. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. With my background as a former dog groomer and long-term experience in the pet industry, I’m very comfortable caring for animals and enjoy making them feel safe, calm, and cared for. I care for pets by following their normal routine closely, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and comfort, and I’m experienced in handling different temperaments from my time working in boarding facilities and pet care. My goal is to make pets feel safe and cared for as if they were my own.
About: I have loved and cared for animals of all kinds since I was five years old. Currently, I am a proud pet parent to three dogs and an indoor/outdoor cat. I am also the go-to pet sitter for my extended family, regularly caring for a wide variety of pets—from my younger brother’s Husky to my older brother’s three cats and Miniature Poodle, as well as my parents’ two senior dogs (including one with special needs who wears a leg brace). My oldest dog, Rizzo, a Chihuahua mix, celebrated her 15th birthday in May 2026 with a full "Quinceañera" alongside our human and fur family! Over the years, caring for Rizzo through various health challenges has made me exceptionally comfortable with special-needs pet care. When she was 9, she underwent successful CCL surgery, followed by a full recovery supported by daily physical therapy. At age 13, she overcame IMHA following her annual vaccinations; after a year of dedicated care, she is now in full remission and thriving. Rizzo shares our home with two loving, playful pup siblings: Mogie (11) and Buddy (5). We also have a sweet rescue cat named Gizmo, who joined our family after a neighbor passed away. Known locally as the "Neighborhood Cat," Gizmo loves fishing on docks, making friends with neighborhood kids, and coming inside each evening for dinner and snuggles. All of my pets are wonderful with children. As a licensed Foster Parent since 2024 specializing in infants and toddlers, I maintain a safe, nurturing home environment. Having recently stepped away from a high-stress career, I am dedicating my time to work I truly love: providing attentive, high-quality care to both children and animals. Note, I am Cat and Dog First Aid and Adult, Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED through the Red Cross. I hope to meet you soon! Jena I am currently on a career sabbatical, which gives me complete flexibility during regular business hours while my foster children are at school or daycare. I am available for drop-ins and pet walks anytime between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Safety, loving care, and routine are my top priorities during every drop-in visit and walk. I genuinely adore all animals and treat every pet with individual affection, patience, and warmth. I am happy to adapt to the unique needs of senior or special needs pets, ensuring proper medication administration, gentle mobility support, or a calm environment. I strictly follow your guidelines for feeding, walking routes, and house rules. After every visit, I will secure your home, send a detailed update with photos, and share feedback on how your pet did so we can continuously coordinate and fine-tune future visits.
About: I've had a dog for most of my life. I have taken care of friends and family members dogs in my home and also in their home. I'm a retired teacher with time to spare. We have a 2 year old Aussiedoodle. Her name is Izzy.. She loves to play. She is a very busy pup and keeps us on our toes. Izzy's favorite thing to play is frisbe. She has also enjoyed taking classes at the Janesville/Beloit Kennel Club. My schedule is fairly flexible. Let's get started by setting up a meet and greet so I can get to know your pup. I am currently taking a break from boarding dogs in my home. We have 2 year old pup who occupies most of our time. She is an Aussiedooddle named Izzy. We are working on training and can't wait until she is ready to have another dog around. I'm a retired teacher so my schedule is fairly flexible. I do some volunteering in the community and attend a couple of exercise classes during the week. When I care for pets in my home or in their home they are treated as if they were my own. They are my priority when they are in my care.

About: I have a lot of experience with animals, especially cats and dogs. Growing up I had multiple rescue dogs and a cat. In addition to my own pets I regularly take care of my neighbors’ dogs. In the past I worked for Cherokee Kennels and volunteered for Shelter from the Storm and the Dane County Humane Society. I am currently working part time and would love to care for your pups and kitties in my free time. I am looking for jobs primarily in the evenings and weekends. I care very deeply for the health and wellness of all animals. In addition to feeding my own dog her diet specific food and treats and walking her we love to play and cuddle. This is the kind of care I have with others’ pets too.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses, and have experience in oral med administration with both cats and dogs. I have a soft spot for the big dogs (they're lap-sized if you commit!). I run half marathons so getting good exercise in will be no problem (even in Wisconsin weather!). I'm currently training for distance running, so you can expect great exercise for your pet! Whether it's a long meandering sniff-ari or an intense loop around the neighborhood, I would love to know what fits your dog best. As I'm in your home, your instructions are paramount. You know your pet better than anyone, and I am happy to keep their normal routines in place. I like getting to know each animal and their unique personality, and while I *love* giving snuggles and pets, I understand some pets prefer their space.
“Our Great Dane loves Ben. He has had great communication with us during all of his walks and has made sure that Bruno has “done his business” in the mornings. He is our favorite walker”

About: As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how much happiness our furry friends bring to our lives. My first rescue pup was a golden retriever mix named Luna, the sweetest dog who stole hearts everywhere she went. I currently have a Rottweiler who loves romping in the yard and excels at snuggling. It would be my pleasure to care for your dog while you are away. Long walks, playtime, and endless snuggles are services I can provide. I am comfortable with large breeds. My work schedule is quite flexible, so I have availability most days. I would be happy to meet you and your dog prior to bookings. I am passionate about animal rescue, and have experience volunteering at Dane County Humane Society. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
About: I have experience with a variety of pets including foster pets, energetic pets, and pets who require a trusting relationship with their caregivers. Dogs and cats are my favorite and I know how important they are to their families. I am a second year medical student at the University of Wisconsin looking to support families and their pets with flexibility around my school schedule! I am excited to meet each of my clients needs where they are. I have schedule flexibility and can work around you and your pet’s preferences and habits.
About: Hello! I study Vet Science at UW Madison and have extensive experience in both dog and cat humane societies, kennels, and have had dogs my whole life and cats for 3 years now. My dogs Jojo and Jagger are very energetic, and Indy is my tortie and the love of my life :) I am always available to talk and will respond quickly to messages! I am available weekends and weekdays, daily hours depending on my class schedule and your availability. I love to engage with pets and learn their body language, I will always have a ball or stick while walking your dog, but also understand when they need a break. My priority is making them feel as at home as possible, while earning experience in the field I love. I have patience for both cats and dogs, and will watch carefully to not over pet, play, or initiate with shy animals. Tell me more about your pet to help me help them be as comfortable as they can be!
About: Hi everyone! My name is Alexandra but I tend to go by Lexy. I have had dogs and cats and so many other animals in my household since before I was even born. My mom grew up on a big farm so she was used to being around animals. She wanted to make sure she had the same experience for my brother and I. I have been a part time dog sitter through word of mouth mainly. I just recently graduated from college with my bachelors in Public Health and am looking for a fun filler throughout my summer while I plan next steps. Animals (especially dogs) are my safe space. So please, entrust in me with your fury friend and I promise you will not regret it! I am currently only working part-time on weekends. So schedule is extremely open and extremely flexible. I am also available to do over nights as I have someone at my house who can watch my animals! I will not be offering any services at my own home as I have a pretty full house of animals. To sustain their comfort I want to keep this separate. At my house I have a fenced in yard but a large yard outside that fence the dogs are able to roam. They have an electric fence so they know how far they are supposed to go.

About: Growing up, I was the neighborhood dog sitter and I cared for my dogs for the past 12 years. My older dog is now 14 and my younger dog is 6 but we got her as a puppy so I got to learn all of the puppy things. I am a student at UW Madison and have lots of flexibility with my schedule so I am able to be at houses and walking dogs throughout the day and night. I care for pets in the most loving and caring way possible by doing what is best for the pets and following all of the instructions left for me. I love to stay active with the dogs so taking them for walks and playing with them outside is always but I also love to cuddle for those cuddly dogs out there.
About: I love any and all animals. I have consistently been around animals since the day I was born. I have grown up with dogs and have 20+ years of experience caring and being responsible for them. I now have my own dog, a four year old corgi named Millie. I recently switched to a remote position, so I am available to care for your pet at home any day of the week with any kind of schedule. When I am not at work, I am home enjoying the day with my dog, Millie. Depending on the animal, Millie likes to play or will give them the space that they need. We go on lots of walks, play fetch, and work on puppy puzzles. I have a dog run in my building in case the weather doesn’t allow a long, outdoor potty break. There is a park that I frequently visit with my dog a couple of blocks away. Because I am a nurse, I can care for any of your pets medical needs and I will always keep an eye on them to make sure they are safe.
About: Many years of experience with family and friend pet care. I always have a great vibe with animals. I will treat your pet like family. I currently work 2 part time jobs The Madison Club downtown and Underdog Pet Rescue of Wisconsin. I do occasionally work weekend nights at one job. Times of availability may vary depending on the day of the week needed. If giving enough notice I can work around my schedule to help out. Thursday's I know my weekly schedule for the following week. I do have a fenced in back yard if any pets come over. Lots of room to run around. I live in a great neighborhood on the Eastside of Madison for walking any dogs. I will also sit and relax with your pet if that's what is needed. I like knowing all the things they love to do with you.

About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs of every kind my entire life basically. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me since I was a little girl to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I currently dog sit full time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding all seven days of the week at anytime of need! I have a spacious yard and two friendly female dogs(both spayed) to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and I love getting to spent time with them and get to know them. I’ve dog and cat sit before for neighbors before and have had the best time with their pets. I have a puppy of my own now and he is my best friend:) I am currently home and working a part time job in the morning so my schedule is pretty flexible. You can always message me about my availability. I currently am not having other animals staying over because we have a hectic house of three. I care for pets in my clients home based on their preference and my knowledge of what animals like most.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stoughton
Jill has been great with our two dogs, especially our new young dog that is still getting the hang of walking on a leash. She is experienced working with strong dogs, clearly cares for them, and is timely with her walks despite getting off of work close to the time we requested our walks. We are very happy with Jill as our dog walker!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Stoughton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
