“Paul did a wonderful job again caring for our two dogs while we were away. He promptly arrived at the scheduled times, gave them a lot of attention, and kept us updated with notes and cute pictures. It was great to know our dogs were being well cared for!”


About: I have taken care of dogs and was a dog walker around the neighborhood since I was 10. Neighbors and loved ones have relied on me to take care of their beloved pets. I have grown up with many dogs myself and I love to spend time with dogs and help them stay happy. I currently work a full time job, 9-5. I work in downtown Milwaukee and am more than willing to come let out any pets during lunch. I am available to stay at your house during the week or weekends. Whatever is required, I would certainly make it work! I would follow every precaution necessary for your pets. I have always adhered to the owners wishing in pet care. My family has a dog with some odd tendencies himself so I am ready for anything!
“Lily is wonderful! She is so accommodating and truly cares for our pups even though they can be a tad difficult! We truly appreciate her and the care she has when she watches or checks-in on our pups!”

About: I've owned a dog for ten years at home. I also have taken care of various neighbors' and friends' dogs as they relied on me to walk, feed, and play with the dog. I have boarded a dog for a month last summer. I now care for my own dog in my apartment. I currently have an easy schedule with one class a day where I would not be in the apartment. However, due to having three other roommates there is typically always somebody in my apartment. I have a very friendly dog who would love to play with others but she can also relax in her crate as needed. We have a fenced-in courtyard that dogs can run around in too!
About: With a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Behavior and experience as a veterinary assistant, I provide knowledgeable, compassionate care tailored to each pet. I’m comfortable with puppies (including basic training support), senior pets, and animals who need medications or extra patience. I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and stress-free while keeping owners updated — treating every animal like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already structure my days around animal care through my work and schooling in veterinary medicine, so feeding, walking, enrichment, and medication schedules come second nature to me. I plan my week intentionally to ensure pets in my care receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection, with flexibility for special needs or last-minute changes. Your pet will never feel like an “extra task” — they’ll be part of my everyday routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In my home or yours, I make sure pets have a secure space to relax, play, and explore safely. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care instructions, while closely monitoring behavior and well-being. I treat every pet like family, building trust through gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and consistent attention so they feel happy and safe at all times.

About: I’ve been taking care of family and friends, cats and dogs, reptiles, birds, you name it! I’ve babysat for multiple days before as well. I’m currently in school for my undergraduate however I’m free Friday to Sunday and can fit in time after 11 AM Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m not able to keep pets in my home, however, depending on what you need, I can keep them wherever you would like within your own home.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 3 years of professional experience working at a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility. During that time, I had the opportunity to become a manager for about half of my time there, giving me experience caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, ages, energy levels, and individual needs. I’m comfortable with more than just the basics of dog care. I have experience administering medications, cleaning wounds, feeding, and keeping a close eye on dogs to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and safe. I’m also a big fan of long walks! If your pup has lots of energy, I’d be more than happy to take them on longer walks or give them plenty of playtime to help them get their energy out. I love driving too, so if your dog enjoys car rides, I’d happily take them along for a little adventure—and maybe even a pup cup if they’re a fan! I understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to follow your routine and give your pup the kind of care they’re used to at home. With enough advance notice, I may also be able to take time off work depending on the level of care your dog needs. I’ve also had a cat in my life for as long as I can remember, so I’m very comfortable caring for cats and understanding their different personalities and needs. I know that some cats are social and playful while others prefer their space, and I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I’m experienced with providing food, fresh water, attention, playtime, and lots of love while making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. Your animals’ safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pet and give them lots of love while you’re away! I currently work at nights during the weekday Monday-Wednesday and morning and nights Thursday-Saturday. During any free time I have I would love to spend time and take care of animals! Usually I meet with the pet prior to and go through their day to day routine with parents to accommodate them as much possible and still keep them on their routine!

About: I’ve been a pet sitter since I was a kid and i’ve loved every second of it. I know that each animal is different and i’m prepared to give your pet the care it deserves. I’m working part time with a flexible schedule but I am mostly unavailable in the mornings. I will be more available in the late afternoon and night. I have been around dogs my whole life so I am experienced in the needs of dogs in their homes. I always prioritize the pets safety according to their owners instructions.
About: I've had animals my whole life. From fish to frogs. Dogs ranging from a Corgi to a Rottweiler. Once had 6 cats and 3 dogs. I currently have a 15yr old hound mix who is half blind and deaf. I am no stranger to medicine and little accidents I work full time Monday through Friday but I have every weekend and evening off! Looking to spend time with any furry friend. I feel as though a walk after a work day is healing. I am an early riser or a night owl. I will walk any distance because I love hiking. Me and your fur baby will go on multiple adventures.
About: My sister and I grew up playing and helping our older neighbors in the area walk and take care of their dogs. My family has had cats my whole life that I’ve had experience taking care of. In high school I’d house/pet sit friends & family friends’ dogs & cats while they were on vacation, & started rover sitting during college! An actor, bartender, & graduate of UWMilwaukee with an open schedule! Looking to fill that time taking care of, spending time with, and getting to know your pets! I love the outdoors and I can take your dogs on lots of walks based on their needs! I always check if doors are locked before I leave/sleep & make sure to put away anything that pets can get into if they are left to roam. I stay clean so I make sure to clean any mess I or the pets create. I can also crate your pets if needed.
About: I have been petsitting since I was young. I have sat for dogs, cats, and various rodents, but I'm open to watching and learning about any other animals that might come along. I have 3+ years of experience at doggy daycares, and am versed in a number of training techniques. I also have a certificate as a Veterinary Support Assistant, so I know how to help your animal if they become sick or injured during our stay. I am Fear Free certified, and will use my skills to make sure your pet has the most comfortable stay possible. I have experience bathing dogs and cutting their nails. I would love to meet great pets and their people. I strive to care for them and teach them skills so they can have a better life! I will make a positive impact on your and your dog's life if you choose me to be your professional sitter. While pet care is a focus of mine, I have a varied schedule at both my jobs. I currently work nights Wednesday through Sunday, but I am always happy to discuss specific rates for various times and duration requirements. I use Fear Free techniques to ensure that the animals are having the best time possible during my stay. I make sure to give them plenty of exercise and attention and treat them as if they were my own pet.

About: Taking care of dogs is something I have enjoyed for much of my life, even a malanois can’t resist my affection! I’m very excited to have fun with your fur baby! I am currently working part time so my availability is open to help you and your lovely pet! I am able to easily balance your pet care with my own schedule.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats in my life for my whole life. I have experience taking care of animals of all ages from young to geriatric. I’ve been entrusted to babysit animals in many different houses. I chose to be a zookeeper as a profession and now train and take care of animals for a living. I’m really passionate about animal care and would love to help take care of yours! I work as a zookeeper, and my schedule changes each week. I am flexible with having some weekdays off and sometimes whole weekends. I’m flexible with early mornings or evenings as well! I don’t have any pets currently, so your pet would be the only one in my household while I watch them. I am also comfortable coming to your home to take care of any pets as well. They will have my full attention! I love being active in whatever way your pet needs, whether that is taking them outside for exercise or giving them some fun enrichment! I’ve dedicated my whole life to animal care.
About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 8 years old and have loved taken on the responsibilities. I also have experience taking care of friends' and family's variety of pets. I currently have my own 1 year old Australian Shepherd who has taught me so much about raising and training a dog. I will give your pets the attention, time, and patience that they deserve. I currently work remotely so I am very flexible with providing pet care and ensuring that your pets get quality time! I love spending time walking, playing fetch, or exercising with my dog everyday and would love to do the same with yours. I am always thoughtful of a pet's needs and am respectful of their space. I practice good spatial awareness with my own high energy dog and understand how important it is to properly monitor a pet's behavior. I currently have availability at any time of day throughout the week. For my own pets, I ensure that they are properly fed and watered throughout the day. All of them have designated time to play each day and are groomed regularly. I will give this same attention to care to any animal I watch and am responsible for. While house sitting or dropping, I follow instructions given to me as best I can and I respect you and your pets' space. Whatever is best for you, I will accommodate!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, even dogs that can be leash, collar, and dog aggressive when walking. I am mostly available later in the week and weekends due to being a full time student, but have breaks in between my school days! There is a green area for dogs down the street from me and a quick 15 minute walk towards the lake for more walking paths!
About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life, giving me years of practical experience with feeding, exercising, and basic leash etiquette. Responsible, punctual, and attentive to special instructions or temperaments. Excited to give your dog the attentive care and company they deserve! I am currently a student at Marquette University. With that being said, I have consistent availability in the afternoons on weekdays. I also have weekends open regularly. I am able to meet whatever the needs of your pet are. I have raised dogs from two months up until the age of 17. Whether it be crate training, diet restrictions, or potty training, I have experience in all.
About: I have been pet sitting small and medium dogs and cats for 8 years through house-sitting, daily walks, and multiple check-ins while families are at work or away. I currently work until 3:30 Monday-Thursday (sometimes a mix of in-person and virtual) and virtually on Fridays. I don’t work Saturdays or Sundays so I am completely free those days. My schedule is flexible and open for walks, check-ins, and house sits! Pet safety is my number one priority. I treat every pet with love and kindness to establish trust. I respect and honor the wishes of every owner regarding both pet care and house care.
About: Friends and family have trusted me as a babysitter, pet sitter, plant sitter and house sitter from the time I was a young one myself. Their recommendations organically generated a steady word-of-mouth side business for me. At any given time, I'm often caring for someone's home, plants, pets, kids, or some combination of the above! I truly enjoy providing these types of services in addition to my other professional pursuits. My current schedule is pretty flexible, and I'm used to blocking out time every day to care for animals, plants, the home front, etc. As a dog owner myself, I'm familiar with the daily demands; however, I share the duties of my own dog with my partner, so I'm able to integrate other animals into this routine as needed. I know that matters of trust and safety are very important to parents, pet parents and home owners. For this reason, I try to be very adaptable in order to meet the individual standards and personal preferences of my clients.
About: Growing up in a two dog household and volunteering at our local humane society, I was constantly surrounded by dogs and animals as a child. Into adulthood, I have years of experience with puppies, elderly dogs, and many personalities as I professionally dog walked for Gentle Hearts in Denver, and foster cared for the Montana Humane Society while constantly dog sitting for friends and family. Professional past includes house training the pups, feeding, walk training, lots of playing, and constant daily routine! I have cared for elderly dogs with medication care, carrying them outside, hand feeding and bathing. I have a deep belief in positive reinforcement training, and highly discourage using force or fear when caring for a dog. I believe in using treats, playtime and outside zoomies as a reward for good behavior. The importance of a dog feeling safe, loved, and positively trained is my priority! I have caring experience with animals from hamsters to lizards, to kitties, birds and farm animals (I volunteered on farms caring for sheep, cows, and horses!) I have one eight year old dog of my own currently, after our fourteen year old dog just recently passed away. We miss him dearly and hold him in our hearts every single day. I truly have been surrounded and cared for dogs and pets my whole life, and can’t wait to assist in caring for yours! I currently am available to dog walk and pet-sit on Monday until 4 pm, Tuesdays until 4 pm, and Fridays until 4 pm. I work in the service industry as a server and bartender, and tend to be busier at night. I am unavailable on Saturdays as I work doubles at the restaurant. I believe in positive reinforcement training, by giving treats, pets and playtime as a reward. I am capable of walking small to extra large dogs, with much experience from pups to elderly. I believe in three walks a day for a healthy dog, and will typically take your pet on a 30-60 minute walk if they are healthy and able!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Bayside is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,021 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Bayside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bayside choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter 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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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 sitter.
