About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your fur babies. I currently have my sweet girl Nova at home and am comfortable with pets of different temperaments and needs. I strive to create a safe, stress free experience while keeping owners updated with lots of photos and messages. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just a consistent routine, I’ll make sure they receive attentive care. I’m currently a SAHM with a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the day. Your pets are treated like family! I have 1 cat in my home currently that is okay with dogs that visit. I maintain a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment and carefully supervise interactions at all times.

About: I have had pet care experience with a neighbor for four years now. And I have also helped own a dog for 8 years. With my neighbor I do pet sitting/drop in visits, dog walking, and cat care. With my own dog, I have had him since he was a puppy, and he is my best friend. I have had experience living with him, walking him, feeding him, and bathing and grooming him as well. I would do anything for my dog, and I will transfer that love to all animals I meet. I am a college student and my plan is to do this during my winter break between semesters. Since I will not have school during this time, my schedule is very free and flexible. I am doing this to have something to look forward to every day during break. So I am very open on a daily basis to accommodate to your schedule. My plan is to do services that are in my clients home because my dog right now doesn't always work well with others. So when I am in my clients home I will treat all people, items, and pets with the utmost respect and kindness. I will care for your pets on drop-in visits and on walks like they are my own.

About: Dogs are my favorite people - I attract dogs wherever I go. I have owned two dogs in my adult life-English Bulldog and Goldendoodle. Currently, I have a 10 year old goldendoodle. She loves everyone. I am a teacher and have off during the summer. I enjoy hiking, camping, biking, running, reading, gardening, and cooking. I’m currently on summer break, so my days are very flexible. During the school year, I am available before 7am or after 4pm. I have a very friendly goldendoodle. I have a big yard. I am willing to provide lots of love, playtime, and walks for your dog. I can be active with your pet or sit with them and love them up. Whatever you need, I can provide.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have three dogs of my own, all with very different personalities and needs. I’ve put a lot of time into training and creating a successful multidog household, which has given me experience with everything from basic obedience and leash manners to reactivity, resource guarding and special-needs dogs. I’m comfortable following established routines, using the training methods and equipment your dog is accustomed to, and adjusting my approach based on each individual dog. I understand that not every dog is a social butterfly, and I’m happy to give dogs the space, patience and structure they need to feel comfortable. Most importantly, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone else with your dog. I’ll care for yours with the same attention and respect I expect for my own. As a registered nurse, I’m dependable, detail-oriented and comfortable following specific care and medication instructions. I’m also used to communicating clearly, so you can expect plenty of updates while your dog is in my care I’m an RN with a rotating schedule, which gives me several days off during the week and plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. On my days off, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime and plenty of attention! I know every dog has their own routine, personality and comfort level. I’m happy to follow your established routine and any specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications, crates or training. I have experience with multidog households, reactive dogs and special-needs dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting my approach to what makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away

About: Hi! I’m Jessica, a privately insured pet sitter with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. While pet sitting isn’t my full-time job, it’s something I take seriously and do with great care and attention. I work outside the home from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM on weekdays, and depending on proximity, I’m happy to use my lunch break to let dogs out or check in as needed. Note: I offer limited weekday walks depending on your location. Please reach out if you're nearby - I'd love to see if we're a good fit! I have personal experience with reactive dogs—my own Australian Cattle Dog has been in training classes for most of her life. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m very familiar with basic obedience, force-free methods, and the consistency and awareness needed for dogs who benefit from structured, respectful handling. I’m comfortable following your routines and supporting your dog’s ongoing training while you’re away. What I Offer: -Overnight in-home pet sitting -Daily routines maintained (meals, walks, meds, enrichment) -Midday check-ins depending on location -Basic home care (mail, plants, light tidying) -Regular updates with photos and messages -Calm, confident care for anxious or reactive pets Why In-Home Sitting? Keeping pets in their own home helps reduce stress and maintain routine—especially for pets who are reactive, shy, or sensitive to change. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment while you’re away so your pet can relax and thrive in familiar surroundings. A Little About Me: I live with two cats and a very smart (and very opinionated) Cattle Dog. I’ve worked with a wide range of personalities and energy levels, and I take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs. I’m fully insured, detail-oriented, and deeply committed to providing thoughtful, respectful care. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet! I’d love to learn more about your pet’s routine and how I can help keep them happy and comfortable while you’re away. I currently live in Sun Prairie and work in Waunakee with a typical schedule of Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Because I want to offer midday drop-ins whenever possible, I prioritize clients whose homes are close to my workplace—this helps me stop by during lunch for potty breaks, walks, or quick visits to keep your dog comfortable throughout the day. My current service radius is focused around Waunakee so I can provide reliable midday visits and consistent care for your pets. Outside of work hours, I’m flexible and dedicated to meeting your pet’s needs, including evening walks, playtime, and companionship. I'm also typically free on weekends, which allows me to offer longer visits, more availability for overnight care, and extra one-on-one time for pets who thrive with additional attention. I also offer a limited number of weekday dog walks based on proximity to my workplace. If you're located nearby, feel free to reach out and I'll let you know what's possible! Walks are best suited for dogs who are comfortable with a midday visit and flexible timing. I’m a stereotypical accountant—introverted, grounded, and extremely detail-oriented. While staying in your home, I aim to be as neat, respectful, and unobtrusive as possible. I understand how personal it is to invite someone into your space, and I take that trust seriously. My priority is making sure your pets feel secure, relaxed, and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely and maintain your pet’s daily routines to minimize stress while you’re away. Whether your pets need extra reassurance, medication, or just quiet companionship, I adapt to their needs while keeping your home clean, organized, and well looked after.

About: I have always had a strong passion for working with animals. I have 5 pets of my own and currently work at a vet clinic which provides me with additional resources . I know how to feed, clean up after, and medicate animals. I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and cats. I have experience with all kinds of breeds and animals with different physical and nutritional needs. I I work part time at a vet clinic and coaching on the weekends. Monday- Thursday I am able to be home in the morning and night with a possible stop by in the afternoon to let animals out or check in on them. On the weekends I am there in the morning and home either mid afternoon or in the evening to check on animals and be there for the night. I keep them calm and comfortable by being in their own home. Keep them on their normal routine so they won't feel more uncomfortable without their owners home. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention and love, and make sure they get any meditation they need. I keep the house tidy and clean up any messes made by the animal while there.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Waunakee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Waunakee on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,392 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Waunakee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Waunakee. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Waunakee.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waunakee. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
