“Kelsey was fantastic with my nervous pup. She gave him the space he needed, but got him to eat dinner, and he even relaxed on the couch while I was gone, which is rare for him. She kept me updated all night and was very communicative. I'm looking forward to using Kelsey's services in the future!”

About: I’ve had the privilege to house sit, dog walk, and LOVE 💙, my friends and clients fur babies. I make sure all of their needs are taken care of. I’m currently working 4 AM to 1230 Monday through Thursday and Saturday, but as of April 16, I’ve decided the love and passion I have for caring for your babies excite me a lot more. I will be more available to accompany your needs while you’re away for work or on a vacation with your family, yet I have had many clients& their babies have no issues when I housesit/dog walk. I treat animals with love, care, and respect as if they were my own. I will follow your directions on how your fur baby likes to be cared for.
“Cindi took great care of my two cats although they stayed well hidden! Very responsible and great communication. It was a one time drop in visit. I already have her booked for future dates.”

About: I have a deep love for animals and would love to turn that passion into my career. Rest assured, I will take excellent care of your pet. I’m experienced in caring for senior pets who need medication or extra help with walking, or those who may not be as active. Having grown up with pets, I have a strong understanding of various animals and their needs. I’ve also worked at a dog boarding facility, where I learned how to care for a variety of dogs, including aggressive or older ones, ensuring they receive the proper care, walks, and feeding. I look forward to hearing from you and providing a loving, comfortable environment for your pets. You can trust that they’ll be in great hands. I also have a 6-year-old and a 2-year-old who are both good with animals, so there’s no need to worry. A year of my pet care experience is from working at a dog boarding place while the rest is pets I’ve had and taken care of or I have watched my sister dog for her for years now on and off for her and I still do I work Monday through Friday until 12 to the latest is like 3:30 pm. I am home otherwise. I am a residential cleaner and since I make my own hours I can stop from one house to another and go home If I need to. I am trying to get lots of clients though so I can stay home and just watch pets all day or even be able to go out and feed others or walk them. If your pet needs to be in a crate I will make sure I always do what you usually do with your pet. I do let them on my furniture and bed and I usually cover them up with blankets if they like it. If they can have a little bit of regular food I will ask and give them some as a little treat. I do get pup cups for them as well if they can have it. My house is always moving around since I do have kids but your pets will always have a great time.
About: I’ve been a pet sitter for dogs and cats since I was in high school for family members and neighbors. I have a background with volunteering at local animal shelters. My schedule is flexible throughout the week which helps provide plenty of pet sitting availability. Pet care easily fits into my schedule. I typically have several week days/weekend available for pet sitting. Typically I have my schedule 4 weeks out in advance or more. I love all animals and love to show them kindness. I make sure they get their needed steps in for the day. I also think its important to spend quality time and play with them.

“Jeremy was an amazing cat sitter! Both my cats were immediately comfortable and really grew to like Jeremy’s daily visits and play time. Super responsive and always sending lots of pics for me to check in on- it’s was such a relief to have them in Jeremy’s care. Highly recommend!!!”
“Alexis was reliable, caring, and attentive to our cat’s needs. They were well taken care of, and we received regular updates, which put our minds at ease. Highly recommend her services.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs since I was a child. I grew up taking care of my aunts dog. She was my best friend. I have been asked to take care of many loved ones animals and I have always been reliable and trustworthy. I work at puppies and yoga on the weekends. During the week I work at a thrift store in the mornings. I am a student at Matc and I have morning and afternoon classes on Wednesdays and Fridays. The best time for me to walk the dogs and pet would be the afternoon. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while always following the owner’s specific instructions and keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention and affection. I also keep their environment clean, comfortable, and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their home and follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, crates, and house rules. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel comfortable knowing their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“DeeDee did very good with Sandy, which says a lot about Sandy. She allowed Sandy to pet her, and she sniffed Sandy, which is huge for DeeDee. Deedee is very skeptical of anyone, and extremely timid, so her to open up so quickly makes me so happy. Next trip, will be planned around Sandy’s availability.”

About: I've been watching and caring for pets for over 8 years. My friends, coworkers and bosses have relied on me to walk their dogs, pet sit and care for their pets for several years. I'm more than happy to take your pets out for as many walks as needed at various hours of the day and I'm also ready to accommodate all of their needs, including feeding, playing with them, ensuring that they're happy and comfortable and spoiling them with toys and treats. Their safety always comes first. I usually go for a walk or run once or twice a day so I'm happy to take them out with me whenever possible. I have a fairly flexible schedule where I can pop in from time to time or work from home when needed. I have an entire bedroom that's unused that I'm happy to use as a pet room. I have plenty of space in my apartment for the pets and I have an entire field/track behind my apartment. I don't let the pets out of my sight, I ensure that they're always in a safe environment and I will always follow the owner's instructions. If any issues ever arise I will always contact the owner and consult before I make any decisions. I can always provide the right nutrition and keep them on schedule if needed.
About: I’ve lived with dogs since I was about 5 years old. I also have had cats for the last 12 years. I have helped take care of cats, dogs, horses, etc. I love animals and people always laugh because I am known for always being around the pets more than the people. They are so pure and genuine and just want to bring joy and love to everyone they encounter. They deserve the same and more. I work Monday-Friday 8:30pm-4:30pm and can remote some days, so I am able to take walks on lunch, bathroom breaks as needed, and will be around to play and interact with them. I have a sweet Husky/Shepherd mix and a recently rescued husky at home who love to make new friends and play, when they aren't sleeping. I treat every home the same as if it were my own. I like having a clean and organized home and I clean up any messes that would be made.
About: I have 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs & cats of all ages and personalities. I have also worked in pet care roles and fostered animals, including those who are shy, anxious or have special needs. I am patient, gentle and attentive and I take the time to understand each pet's unique needs and routine. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM–4:00 PM in an office, so I plan my schedule around providing reliable, attentive care for the pets I look after. I’m available for pet care outside of my work hours, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I understand how important consistency and communication are, and I always do my best to accommodate each pet’s needs and maintain their routine. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away! In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and safe, supervised time, and I’m mindful of giving pets their own space when needed—especially those who are shy or adjusting. In your home, I focus on maintaining consistency and following your instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and playtime. I treat your home with respect, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal in any setting is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: Hi! have two dogs at home that I call my brothers and love them to death. My dad won't let them live with me right now so I always go home to visit and play with them.

I am currently going to school at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and studying Biology and Zoology. After I finish school I want to transfer to University of Wisconsin-Madsion and receive my Prevet Degree. I want to help animals and care for them in my future in any way I can.

“This was our first time using Rover for our 2 frenchies and Melanie was so awesome!! She asked clarifying questions when she wasn’t sure about something, sent the cutest pictures and provided detailed updates after every visit. Normally I feel guilty leaving the dogs home when we travel but they looked very happy and with her updates I knew they were being well taken care of. We will definitely be using rover and Melanie’s help again in the future!❤️”


About: I’ve spent a majority of my life around animals. Growing up, we had a variety in the house (dogs, cats, fish, squirrels). I’ve learned that being calm, loving, and patient is the key to dealing with any pet. Like people, pets have their own quirks and personalities that is an absolute joy to learn about! I currently assist my sister with her two boys. Now that they are both in school, my schedule is much more open. I help get them to school early in the morning, and help pick them up in the afternoon. I have no problem helping with specialty pet needs and care, whether that be crating, medications, or assisted devices. Your pets are in great hands :)
“Kaleigh was ready and available to get me setup with the dates I needed, even with short notice. My cats were loved and cared for exactly to my instructions and even helped the turtle even though that was optional. I received clear pictures of each cat per visit which gave me piece of mind. I do plan to re-book with her for our next trip.”
About: I have grown up with pets all my life and love both dogs and cats. We currently have a 3 year old dog and a senior cat that we love. We have a big fenced in backyard and our dog loves to play with others! I am a registered nurse so I have a more flexible schedule to sit for pets every week. My husband is also very flexible in his schedule, so between the two of us we always make sure your pets will be well cared for! We have a large fenced in backyard and our pup loves to play. We also have a cat that is comfortable with other dogs. I have no problem coming into clients homes to care for both cats and dogs.
About: I’ve had friends and family members rely on me to board, walk, feed and bathe their pets! I am very attentive and have been around pets big and small since I was born! I am currently graduated and working full time! I typically have off on Fridays and weekends. I work alternating hours so evenings and mornings are possible. Let me know little things your fur baby likes or dislikes! Every animal is different. I will enjoy playing outside with your furry friend no matter the weather!
About: I work as a part-time doggy swim coach and teacher at the Milwaukee County Zoo! Right now I'm not able to have dogs or cats of my own, so I get my pet fix by providing care for other people animals. I am used to working with anxious and senior dogs and I grew up with four cats! Due to my other jobs drop ins and over nights work best for my schedule. I can be flexible, so if you have preferences let me know! Safety is a top priority to me!
