“She is great! She managed to pill her royal furry highness which usually requires a tourniquet and skill of a big game hunter. She worked with our insane schedule and didn’t bat an eye at tore up our house is (not kidding - our life is hectic and our house pays the price - Kathy didn’t even bat an eye).”


About: I’m the designated dog walker for family and friends because I love going on walks, and dogs love coming with me! I grew up with a dog but only have two cats of my own— so I miss having that four-legged friend to go with me! I’d love to take your dog out for a walk/run, or just let them stretch their legs. Cat owners, I’m happy to give your kitties as much or as little space as they need while making sure they feel the love :) I don’t work Fridays or Saturdays, so I am free to help anytime then! Definitely looking to fill my Fridays up with some time outside, and I’d love to take your dog with me - or check in on your cat! I usually walk my parent’s and brother’s dogs (about 80 lbs each) so I know how to handle bigger dogs on leashes who tend to stray from the sidewalk. I can clean up after them, feed them, and give them all the pets! For my cats at home, I love to play with strings or catnip - and can cater to their personality as need be.
“Second time booking Liz in two weeks and she was great once again! Even took care of our outdoor plants for us which we really appreciated. Can’t recommend her enough!”


“I’ve booked with Kelsey twice now within the last few months and I would book her services again in a heartbeat! She’s very thorough when she is taking care of my cats, and she provides an adorable Rover card every visit. She is fast to respond to messages, and 100% trustworthy with my cats! Kelsey is awesome! 😸😺”

“Aidan always takes the best care of our pups while we are away!! Very attentive, excellent communication, so helpful. Would absolutely recommend and plan to use again when needed.”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life as I’ve had cats and dogs from a very young age. I’m the girl at the party that goes straight to the animal in the room 🤣 I treat every animal I encounter as if they were my own. I am self employed so my schedule is very flexible. My work week changes day by day but I have a lot of time in the mornings and evenings. I treat your pet as if they were my own. They are one of the family because all animals are precious to me. I treat all pets with kindness, empathy, patience and gentleness.
About: Having pets all my life has given me pet care knowledge and ability to care for pets of all ages and abilities. I have had cats, dogs, bunnies and fish (currently a single cat household) throughout the years. While in college I worked as a Vet Tech and did pet sitting for clients of the vet clinic. Your pets will be loved and cherished in your home or in mine. I provide all levels of service from dog walking, drop-in daily visits, boarding or medical care visits. Currently working full-time as a pet sitter/dog walker. Available all day for all levels of service from daily walks, drop-in and medical care visits and boarding. My home is a smoke-free, fenced in yard, single cat household in the Milwaukee/Wauwatosa area. Willing to travel to provide boarding services in your home if needed. Any location in the Milwaukee area and within 30 miles.
About: Hey there, I’m Giovanni! I'm a pet-loving Midwesterner with a solid track record caring for both dogs and cats. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously by creating a calm, safe, and genuinely caring environment wherever they’re most comfortable. What sets me apart is the level of attention and consistency I’m able to provide. Since I work remotely, I’m able to spend real, quality time with your pet and pick up on their habits, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, whether that’s an energetic dog who needs plenty of exercise or a more reserved pet who just wants a calm presence nearby. I’m also attentive to routines, medications, and any specific care instructions, and I take pride in being reliable and communicative. On top of that, I genuinely enjoy photographing the pets I care for, so you’ll often receive a few thoughtful, candid shots that capture their personality. Something special you can keep beyond the booking. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine since I work remotely. I’m able to be present throughout the day, which means your pet gets consistent attention, care, and companionship instead of just quick visits. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or staying in your home, I can easily adapt my schedule to match your pet’s needs and routine. I also make it a point to send regular photo and text updates so you always know how things are going. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping everything as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions you provide to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. I’m mindful of creating a calm environment and paying attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. Communication is important to me, so you can expect consistent updates and transparency while you’re away.
“Michelle easily gets a five star review. I just moved to the area and was nervous about leaving my dog alone but Michelle has made the transition so easy. She is wonderful with my boy. She is excellent with communicating and sends the best updates. 10 times out of 10, I’m picking Michelle.”

About: I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, energy level, and comfort needs, especially for shy, anxious, or senior dogs. I focus on calm, structured walks, positive reinforcement, and safety rather than rushing or overstimulating pets. I’m gentle, reliable, and treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel secure, cared for, and happy on every walk. Since I run my own business, I can adjust my schedule to give pets all the attention they need. I love spending time walking, playing, and caring for them, keeping their space tidy and cozy, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved every day. I care for pets with attention, safety, and love, both in my home and in my client’s home. I have one dog, two cats, and a tortoise, so I’m experienced managing different needs. My home is pet-friendly with plenty of space to play and a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. I live near a park and a dog park for walks and socialization. I’m especially careful with special needs, like my cats’ prescription diets, and always make sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for.
About: Grew up an animal lover with multiple dogs and cats over the course of my life. Long story short, I have experience with puppy life, shelter life, low energy, high energy, etc. I just love animals and look forward to taking care of yours I work full time as a school counselor but understand what it takes to be a healthy dog owner. This means a walk in the morning before I leave, a walk when I get home after work, and depending on a lot of other factors maybe one late maybe not. On weekends I'm a a homebody which is why I signed up for this. I will get out of the house to walk my girl or take her on an adventure to the dog park, trail walk, etc. Otherwise I like just hanging out and playing video games. My girl has a crate in the family room but I also repurposed a spare bedroom into a doggy friendly room. I wasn't using it for any reason so figured why not make it dog friendly for my girl and others. I also have a fenced in yard that I can easily let her and other dogs out. It is big enough to be able to throw a ball around as well.
“Initially, Ivy came over for a meet and greet and our dogs took to her quickly, which is always a huge sign for me! Since then she’s been accommodating, personable, easy to communicate with and great with our dogs! I’d highly recommend her!”

About: 👋🏼 Hello! My name is Krystal and I am a dog lover who has taken care of dogs for 25+ years. I have 2 male poodle mixes, Adobo and Charley.💙 They’re social boys who love company, but respect boundaries if their furry friends don’t want to play. I work from home and walk my dogs 2 times a day (or 1 long walk) and we also enjoy hiking or playing in our fenced-in backyard. Your furry friend will have activity, company, and love while under my care! ☺️ 👩🏻💻 Working from home full time gives me the flexibility to easily fit pet care into my day, allowing me to provide regular attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. Please feel free to send a message to check on my availability! 🐕🦺 I have a large fenced in yard and friendly dogs, Adobo and Charley, that can keep your furry friend company with play or lounging. I can crate if needed.
About: Hi there! I am not currently accepting new clients. I’m the proud dog mom to a Siberian Husky named Meeka and a Golden Retriever named Remy. Just saying the word “walk” lights up their faces—and honestly, it’s the best therapy for both of us. I absolutely adore dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Recently, I introduced Meeka to a cat, and she was obsessed—I might just have to add a feline friend to the family! I believe every pet deserves to feel special, which is why I throw birthday parties for mine every year (that’s us in the profile pic!). It’s pure joy. I’d love the chance to care for your fur baby too—please feel free to reach out with any questions! Fall 2025 - I am currently not accepting new clients at this time. I am currently a graduate student at UW-Milwaukee so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to stop in randomly throughout the day, provide day time walks in the sunshine, and ample time for all the feedings and cuddles! While we have a partially fenced in yard, I always ensure your pets safety by taking them out on a leash for added peace of mind. I will abide by any restrictions you feel appropriately suits your pet, however our animals are allowed on our bed and furniture in our home.
“Stephen and Amelie are the best! They take excellent care of our babies and our home when we’re away and make us feel completely comfortable when we need to travel without the pups. Our dogs love them too!”


“Cindy did a last minute drop in visit for me on a Saturday night for my 2 huskies. Everything went very well and I would definitely use her services again. Thank you, Cindy!”
About: I have taken care of many different animals since I was 11, including: birds, rabbits, fish, hamsters, dogs, and cats. Family, friends, and neighbors have always found me to be reliable in making sure their pet is well taken care of while they are away. I currently have 2 elder cats, an elder chihuahua, and a puppy. My animals have some specific needs so I am also used to giving medications and some special maintenance. I have experience with high energy and low energy animals. I used to work as a teacher so I can problem solve quickly and have tons of patience! With training my own pup, I can handle puppy energy and maintain training expectations while you are away! If your dog likes to play, I can bring my pup around for a playdate 🐾 Animals love me because of my patient and loving energy.✨ I am mostly free after 4, either to drop in and check on your baby, a walk, or for some play time! I prefer house sitting on the weekends but I don’t mind if it’s a day or 2 before/after :) I always greet animals with a happy and loving tone. I am experienced in crating dogs and potty training puppies, since I currently have a pup of my own. I am able to give medication that your pet may need, as well. I will send my clients a picture or video of their animal upon my visits and answer any and all questions about how their pet is doing while they are away. I always treat the pets I care for with as much love and attention that I give to my own. I promise that your baby will be in good hands when they are with me.

Columbus Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kathy was great. When we booked her, she came by for a meet and greet to show her around and have her meet our cat. While we were gone, she was very diligent about checking in and giving us updates. Our cat, Wesley, is very shy, so he didn't come out at all. But she would still give updates and made sure he was fed, had a clean litter-box, and talked to him anyway. We appreciate her help and definitely would book her again.

Kaitlin was amazing! She took great care of our kitties while we were out of town. Her communication was stellar. She took the initiative to bring in some mail and a package that snuck through before we asked her to. Highly recommended! We would definitely book with Kaitlin again!
