About: Hello, my name is Katy and I would love to care for your dog! I just finished a term with AmeriCorps and now work part-time in the service industry. My flexible schedule means I am free to walk or watch your pup! I understand that caring for your dog means understanding their individual needs. Please don't shy away from telling me your dog's specific needs and quirks. I want to make caring for your dog a great experience for both pet andowner. I bring passion and professionalism to this job and absolutely enjoy what I do. I have had dogs all my life and currently have an elderly chihuahua. Because of his health concerns and age, I'm not currently boarding dogs at my home. However, I would love to walk and sit your pups and can assure they will get attentive and safe care.

“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!”

“Brittany has been walking our puppy twice a week for several weeks now and it’s been going swimmingly. Communication has been really good and it’s been such a weight off our shoulders to know that Brittany will be giving our dog a fun break in the middle of the day when we can’t be home. She sends photos and little updates to let us know how their walks went and those are really fun to see. Highly recommend Brittany!”

Serenity V.

“Sierra was amazing! She sent such great photo updates and our pup loved walking with her. Would totally book with her again!”

Elise F.

“Jack is great at communicating with me. Both my dogs instantly liked him when they first met him. I feel very comfortable with him walking my puppy! We already rebooked more walks! Highly recommend!”

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: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old and have always loved being around animals. I grew up with a dog, have watched dogs in my neighborhood, and cared for friends’ pets as well. I’m experienced with walking, feeding, playing, and just hanging out with dogs to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and treating them like my own. It’s summer, which means warmer weather and more outdoor time for dogs! I’m currently a student at UW–Madison and have a pretty flexible schedule during the summer. I’m always looking for an excuse to get outside, enjoy some fresh air, and spend time with pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your dog company, I’d love to help out. Please feel free to reach out — I’d love to connect! I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level, offering plenty of affection, patience, and consistency. I maintain open communication with pet parents sharing regular updates, photos, and notes to keep them reassured.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life in Madison, Wisconsin. From the age of 11, I helped care for our family cockapoo — walking, bathing, playing, and regular trips to the dog park. I also cared for a miniature poodle with diabetes and administered insulin shots. In adulthood I cared for a cavapoo, German shepherd, Golden Doodle, papillon corgi, and boxmatian the same way, and I’ve done dog sitting for family and friends over the years. Dogs have always been part of my life, and that’s exactly why I take their care seriously. I’m available evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends. This makes me a great fit for after work walks, weekend adventures, or overnight sitting when you’re away. As I’m unable to have pets in my own apartment, I offer dog walking, house sitting, and pet sitting in your home — which is actually the best environment for your pet. They get to stay somewhere familiar, keep their normal routine, and feel comfortable in their own space. I treat every home with care and respect, and you can count on me to follow your pet’s usual schedule, habits, and any specific instructions you leave.

“Harper gets a little nervous when we are not home. Ashley had patience enough to get Harper excited to take a walk and gave some great recommendations.”

About: I have taken care of many different types of pets for the past 4 years. From golden labs to parakeets, I love them all a lot. I currently work 8 am to 5 pm during the week, but I am available to dog or cat sit outside of those hours. I have a small dog of my own so I am definitely an animal lover! I have done house visits many times to watch dogs when their owners are out of town and I am very careful to make both the dogs and owners and happy as possible.

“Great communication and so patient with my nervous girl.”

Sam

“Ella did a great job taking care of Eddy. My dog is a bit timid around people she doesn't know. Ella was patient, and everything went really well. Ella was very responsive to my inquiries. I would definitely rebook her for future dog walks.”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog since she was 8 weeks old. I helped to train her, walk her, feed her, and she is my best friend! I’m a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and absolutely love dogs! I have a pretty flexible schedule and am available for dog walking, drop in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I’m happy to coordinate to find times that work best for your routines! I can walk the dog, feed them, play with them, help to teach them tricks such as sit and stay and come, and keep them company!

About: Since the 90s I have been a continuous pet mom. Before that I grew up with animals of all sorts and have such deep love for them. Once I was able to adopt my own I started a legacy. From Kingu, a liver spotted Dalmatian and her daughter Chiquita (banana at times) I helped to birth along with 8 other puppies; for a short while my sweet kitty and vagabond Puti; adding a guinea pig living with us for 8 years named Pomi; the most loving Zoe the cockatiel, who loved to jump into the shower for a steam bath and various fish varieties in a colorful aquarium; you name it, we had it! My daughter and I created a home full of life and love shared for many years. I continued to rescue Vedder Bear the Chesapeake bay retriever needing special care for diabetes and lastly my sweetest Moumou, a pit terrier mix who turned 16 years of age. She has passed away a few months ago and my heart is sore and I am not quite ready for a new pet! However, I have a calling to be of help for all the pet moms and dads out there and share my love for our four/ three/ two legged family members! As of 2025 I can also add chicken whisperess to my profile! What a joy!! I hope to soothe your mind and heart while you are away from your beloved family member. <3 🦋 I have an online Vintage store, local booths at antique malls/and hold some vending events throughout the year, and I am an Artist. Great passions and loves of mine! I work from home and I have a mostly flexible schedule, which allows me to open up time for another angle of my passions, my love for animals. It makes me happy as I am a nurturer by nature! ;-) 🦋 ✨🐾 Frankly, it is purely selfish to care for pets! I love animals, they get my attention the minute I am around them, because their presence is special. ✨🐾 🐾 Please note that Rover’s service fees are separate from my sitter rate. I set my rates based on the amount I receive for providing your pet’s care. 🐾 🐶 I added as a safety precaution, a personalized “Sitter” collar tag, your pet will wear while with me. It is meant to be just in case! I had a dog from Texas here and I realized that if any out-of-town dog especially would ever get loose/ lost, I would want them to be found with a local phone number. However, this is not something I expect to happen, but I just want to make sure! ☺️ I added the look of the tag in my pictures. If the pooches are in my vehicle for a ride. I have dog seat belts (x2) I use. Each pooch/ kitty/ animal is special! 🦓🦉🐶😸 I can't help myself! I feel into the needs of each animal. Playful to shy, young to old, special needs or easy peasy. I adapt to what their mom/dad want me to tend to, as well as nurture their unique personality. What certainly helps is heaps of experience with my own pets as well as pets of others I cared for ;-) My house is tailored for dogs, as I up until recently had my dog Moumou here with me. In my photos section, you can see some images of the back yard and house. ;-)
