“Chelssey was a great communicator and very trustworthy. I am looking forward to having her spend time with Wally again in the future and I would recommend her to others!”

“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: Hi! I’m a graduate student who loves animals and understands how important it is to find someone you trust to care for them. I have experience caring for dogs with different temperaments, including dogs with anxiety and dogs who need medication or extra patience. I’m very responsible, detail oriented, and I take pet care seriously - I know I’m caring for a member of your family. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding schedules, crate routines, and any specific instructions you have. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for drop in visits, walks, and house sitting. I’m reliable and will always communicate clearly about timing and availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort comes first. I follow routines, use secure leashes, provide updates, and create a calm, safe, consistent environment for your pet

About: Hi! I’m currently a graduate student at UW–Madison and looking for some pet-sitting opportunities—especially with dogs! I’ve been dog-sitting for about 6 years, primarily for friends, family, and referrals. Since moving to Madison last year, I’ve been excited to meet some new pups in the area! I grew up with Labradors and a Yorkie, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I really miss my dog back home, so I love any opportunity to spend time with furry friends here in Madison. Whether it’s walks, playtime, overnight stays, or cozy couch hangouts, I’ll treat your pets like my own. Weekends are generally preferred since I have the most availability then, but I’m also open to weekday opportunities if they can work around my class schedule, especially during the summer when my schedule is a bit more flexible. I’m also relatively new to Rover and currently working on building my clientele in the Madison area, so I’d love the opportunity to provide excellent care for your pets! 🐾 My weekends are when I have the largest availability as I am a full-time graduate student. Pet sitting Thursday-Sunday or Monday is my ideal timeline but I am definitely open to week long care if I am able to make it work with my class schedule. I would prefer to watch the dog in your home as I rent my current home and it does not allow animals. However, when at your home I will make sure your pup is always happy and all of their needs are met. In terms of safety, I will always have them on a leash or in a gated area when needed.

“Really grateful for Lucy coming by last minute when I needed help! Reliable and punctual. Mia loved her walk!”

“Amy was great with Indie! I felt comfortable having her walk Indie. It was obvious Amy loved dogs. She walked Indie and played around in the backyard with her. I would highly recommend Amy.”

About: Hi, I'm Matt! I've been caring for cats and dogs since I was a kid. Growing up, I was the go-to kid in my neighborhood to watch after pets. I've personally raised and trained four dogs now (all rescues!) and love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am an avid runner, biker, and nature enjoyer. I'd love the opportunity to meet more furry friends and would be honored to help you with yours. I am also set up for bathing and cleaning dogs! I am an early riser and start my day off taking care of my puppy. I live downtown and have immediate access to the commuter bike trails and can get wherever I need to be whenever I need to be there. Being that I love getting outdoors and moving around, I have my days set to same and am a moment's notice from supporting you! I firmly believe that our homes are sacred. My promise to you is that you will never know I was there. In my own home, I tidy up my dog's playthings and ensure that she always has access to food and water. I will dispose of your pet's waste in a wag bag and turn it in at a community bin to prevent your home from stinking. I understand that all dogs are different and can certainly accommodate any quirks.

About: Hi there! I moved to Fitchburg, WI in 2024 and I’m ready to start pet walking/sitting again. For years in Denver and Boulder, CO and in Lansing, MI, I helped neighbors exercise their dogs by either walking or running them while their owners were at work. For the super active dogs (for example, those who can run 4 min miles), I took them to the park to run while I kept up on roller blades. I've adopted overweight dogs and slowly trained them up to being able to hike two 14ers in a day! I'm also happy to help with simple drop in feedings and potty breaks if need be. If you're in the midst of an especially busy period at work, injured, or going out of town, I'm happy to help out with your pets. I welcome small, big, special needs, overweight, mutts, 'bully' breeds, and everything in between-I love them all. I also have two cats so I’m happy to help check in on your feline friends too. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the week. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly so that my availability is ans accurate as possible. Currently I don’t have the space to sit your dog or cat at my house but I’m happy to go check in on them at your place once or twice (or even 3x) a day as needed. I like to do meet and greets before sitting or walking your pet on my own.

“Hannah has been amazing with my dog. He’s a bit anxious and she has been incredibly patient with him and is building a strong bond with him. Hannah has been super communicative and has been great to work with all around!!”

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.

“Hannah did a great job on short notice! My dog is terrified of everything but walked well with Hannah. Thank you!!!”

About: I have over two years of experience with dog walking and dog sitting, along with professional experience working at a dog grooming facility and dog hotel. I was responsible for caring for dogs staying at the hotel, making sure they were safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay. I’m also a dog owner myself! I have three dogs: Liah, a Shih Tzu, and Lilo and Lady, two Australian Labradoodles. Having three dogs with different personalities has given me plenty of experience with different needs, energy levels, and routines. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I make sure every dog gets the time and attention they need. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with each owner’s schedule and their dog’s normal routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my priority. From my experience working at a dog hotel, I understand the importance of following each dog’s routine, feeding instructions, and individual needs. In a client’s home, I’ll respect their space and follow all instructions carefully while making sure their dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

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 have extensive experience caring for dogs. I grew up with Labrador Retrievers and have had Labs my entire life. My family currently has a 5-year-old chocolate Lab, so dogs have always been a big part of my life. Over the past two years, I have cared for more than 50 dogs, and I couldn't imagine a better hobby. I have always loved dogs and enjoy staying connected to my love of animals while living in Madison. I'd love the opportunity to care for your furry family member. Book with me! I can't wait to meet you and your pup! I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in May of 2024. I am currently starting my masters at Edgewood University. I work full-time at a CPA firm from 8am-4pm Monday through Friday. I am available any weeknight after 4:30pm, as well as all day Saturdays & Sundays! Please do not hesitate to reach out, as my schedule is constantly changing and I may be able to squeeze in a stay last minute. I provide a wide variety of services for your pups. I live in a safe community right next to the capital, making it very convenient for Madison families, visiting alumni & parents, and anyone/everyone to book! My roommates have a cat, but we do not have her interact with the pups. She stays in a closed door room when I am sitting, unless you are comfortable allowing her to free roam. I allow dogs on my furniture and bed. I have a large supply of leashes, toys, water bowls, and poop bags for your pups. I do ask that you provide your favorite toy for the pup, as this will help them bring a "piece of home" to an unfamiliar place.

About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of animals for about 4 years now. This is the first time I’m doing this on a site, however, I am very familiar with the needs of dogs and cats and am very open and understanding regarding dogs with specific and unique needs. I have raised 2 female puppies myself and have been entrusted with friends animals as well while they have been away. This is not just a “side gig” for me. Animals really bring me happiness and joy into my life and I don’t see myself enjoying anything more than this! I do have a full time job currently and don’t get home until 5pm on tues-thurs. Mondays and Fridays I work at home. I have off the weekends. I have one ESA dog of my own that would enjoy the company of other dogs in our home! I prefer to bring my pup with me when I house sit, however, if not allowed by the client, I could do house sitting at daytime! Where I spend most of my time with your pet but I wouldn’t sleep overnight at your home as I have a pet at my home.

About: We have 3 cats and a mini Dachshund, all rescues. Reliable, respectful, dependable. All-around animal-person, committed to keeping animals safe and happy - I strongly believe that people have a responsibility, duty to care for and love all animals; it’s a privilege to have a relationship with them, and we should foster and nurture that. Interested in teaching basic dog commands. Will learn to administer shots if needed. Sensitive to changes in behavior that could signal unhappiness, illness. In the future, hope to create a doggy sanctuary, so I can have many dogs of my own to love and care for every day. I just love dogs & cats & all animals! Value open and clear communication with owners to better care for their pets and to build healthy relationships between us all. My availability has some flexibility, so contact me to discuss! Recently retired and looking forward to devoting time and energy doing things I love, including caring for and building bonds with furry friends. Prefer scheduling ahead of time but will do my best to accommodate same-day requests. All care will be provided according to your instructions. For daycare service provided at my home, I would take dogs out on leash at regular intervals because my yard is un-fenced. Kitties and doggies are loved and treated with kindness and respect.

“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.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years and have experience with dogs, cats, farm animals, and wildlife. My professional animal care experience began as a teenager working at Pine Ridge Pet Resort, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, cleaning, administering medications, monitoring behavior, and providing safe, attentive care in both boarding and daycare settings. Since then, animal care has remained a huge part of my life. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for senior pets, including administering multiple oral medications, insulin injections, and providing extra support for aging dogs with changing mobility and health needs. I also have experience giving medication to cats and caring for puppies. In addition to domestic pet care, I worked at a wildlife rescue center where I assisted with first aid, fluid administration, and hands-on care for injured animals. That experience strengthened my ability to stay calm, observant, and compassionate in high-stress situations. I work 40h each week Monday through Friday, so I am mainly available on the weekends only for now. I am getting married in a year & have 2 degrees, so I have both debt and savings to add to. I am hoping to help care for pets & put every cent earned on Rover towards my debt In my home, I have a full house of 2 dogs and 2 cats. They all get along great, but my senior dog, Daisy, doesn't get along with dogs that don't live with her. Therefore, my home is not available currently for pet sitting, but I am familiar with pet sitting for others in their homes in order to assure their pets feel safe. In my home, I feed 2x/day in an 8 hour period and walk my dogs every 3-4 hours. When it comes to other people's pets, I am open to whatever care routine your animals are used to. No matter how many steps are involved, I can do anything you need done, and I will do it with a smile on my face. I will also respect any and all boundaries in your home and only go in the designated pet areas. I have had multiple people require I stay out of certain rooms, and it has never been an issue. I am deeply appreciative of the trust I am given when caring for pets, so I won't take it for granted by disrespecting your home or boundaries.

“Luna seems to loved her time with Stacey and communicating and interacting with her was great. Will hope to work with her again!”
