About: My role as an animal caretaker began at the age of 6 and has only increased in species types. In addition to caring for my own animals (dogs, cats, cattle, horses, chickens, etc.), I have worked professionally in the veterinary field for the past 6 years. This Fall, I am going into my second year of veterinary school at the University of Wisconsin, and I currently work at UW Veterinary Care on the Small Animal surgery team💉! I am equipped to care for pets of all sizes, behavioral quirks, and medical needs, and am so honored to be considered as a care companion for your furry friends! 😊 As a future dogtor in training, pet care is part of my everyday routine. In addition to caring for my own animals, I am always searching for new care opportunities to diversify my skills, whether that is in a professional clinic, sanctuary, or volunteer setting. I am an organized individual who enjoys living by plan and routine and in my experience, many of our furry companions do as well. I prefer getting to meet with pets before my care window begins to get a physical run down of their routine and establish a familiar relationship with them. My attention to detail allows me to easily follow written and verbal instructions and be equipped to troubleshoot if needed.
“Jennifer was easy to communicate with and took good care of Tony on his walk and fed him. She arrived as scheduled and kept us updated along the way. We would definitely ask Jennifer to walk Tony again in the future. Thank you!!”
“Jenny is wonderful! My puppy warmed up to her right away. She asked a lot of questions about him and came prepared with treats, poop bags, and water. She took him on a walk nearby and when they returned home he was all tired out. Thank you!”
“Susan is the best! She walked my dog for several months and was always there! Extremely reliable. Worked well with my dog who can be reactive to other dogs on walks. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“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!”
“Ashley is always so reliable!! When my husband travels and I am at a work all day it’s great knowing my dogs are still getting their exercise! My 18 month old border-jack really needs it!! My 13 year old border Collie just likes a little attention!”
About: I grew up with a Westie since I was 7 years old. I am a foster caretaker and trained to foster dogs by GRRoW (the golden retriever rescue organization of Wisconsin). I also have two roommates who grew up with dogs and are 3 years into veterinarian school at UW-Madison. Pet caretaking fits into my routine best every weekday for an after-work walk (5pm CST or later). I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so I have more free time those days of the week to watch an interact with your pet during the day. I have an apartment with a large open, yard good for playtime. My neighborhood and apartment complex is extremely dog friendly. There are plenty of non-busy street sidewalks and parks within walking distance for the dog to enjoy and run around in.
About: I have grown up taking care of our family dog. Over the pandemic, we got a golden doodle puppy and I have been an actively training, walking, and caring for her for the past four years now. I just moved to the Madison area and I work about three twelve hour shifts a week, which means I have plenty of time to hang out with you pet! I am available for housing sitting, drop-ins, and walks weekdays and weekends. I will be sure to give your dog just as much love and attention as I do my own. I love taking dogs on nice long walks or to the dog park to burn some energy.
About: I grew up mostly around cats, however, a year and a half ago I adopted my first dog and fell in love. Since then I've discovered a passion for caring for animals and giving them the best and most fulfilled life that they can have. I recently lost both of my fur babies due to health issues out of my control so I have a gap in my heart and daily routine that I want to fill with caring for animals. I am currently a full-time student also working part-time, so my schedule changes slightly from week to week but that will not deter me from giving my full attention to your pets. I know my work schedule around 1-2 weeks in advance and my school schedule changes every semester. Whether you need someone to pop in for a little bit or stay for an evening, I am willing to work something out that fits both of our schedules! I am willing to care for your pets in any way needed and am open to learning new things and ways of doing things. I will take your dog on any length walk they need, play outside or inside, feeding, grooming, and just plain spending time with them. As of right now I am only open to providing care in your home, as I currently live with my parents.
About: I treat every dog and cat like my own. I am sure to adapt to the needs of each individual animal, whether its belly rubs, play time, or gentle care. I ensure every animal feels safe and loved! I’m currently waiting to start my PhD program so I have a lot of flexibility during the week and weekends. I hope to meet many new people and pets. I provide loving, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs; feeding, playtime, cuddles, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in their home environment. If bringing the animal to my home, I live in a safe and clean environment with ample access to outdoor green spaces for walks.

Sunset Hills dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our dog has lived with several major changes in the last 2 months. That, combined with the 95 degree heat wave this weekend have made him a little reluctant to leave me and go outside. Maddie was very good with him and got him out for a walk. I was surprised they stayed out as long as they did. I would definitely use her again.
Kayli is a delightful young woman. Always smiling and happy. She seems to love Bentley and he is always so excited to see her. She always tells us how the walk went. Kayli is always on time. She is much appreciated 😊. Give her a 5 star. We will give her a $15 tip.
