About: I’ve petsat and dogwalked since I was in middle school! I’ve always loved taking care of animals and I would love to take care of yours! I’m currently a student at UWM studying Occupational Therapy , I only take a couple of classes so most of my time is available to take care of your pets’ I will make sure to keep a close eye on your pets and give them lots of love and attentions! I will be able to check on them multiple times a day)
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and stay with their pets while they’re away. I especially enjoy longer stays because it gives dogs time to feel comfortable and settled, and I love being able to build that trust with them. One of my favorite parts is taking dogs on enriching walks, keeping them active, engaged, and happy, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to keep up with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship, especially during longer stays when consistency and routine are important. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by sticking closely to their normal routine and giving them lots of attention and care. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of clients’ homes, and committed to providing reliable communication and updates throughout each stay.
About: I’ve had a dog since before I can even remember. My first dog was a lab. He was the best dog ever. I took him on walks and did all the chores for him when I was younger. I now have three dogs. One is a pitbull, one is a Shih Tzu, and one is a Yorkie. I love playing with them outside taking them on walks, especially love when my pitbull comes on camping trips with my family overall I am super good with dogs and I also extremely love cats too. I love all types of animals. I’m currently working part-time mornings so I’d be able to care for your pets either after work when I do work or on my days off in the morning for sure! I typically work 2 to 3 days a week If you’re at work and just need somebody to come and give your pup, some love or take them out to use the bathroom or get a little exercise. I’m 100% the person for you and your dog!!

“Katie consistently goes above and beyond. Our cat was alone during a snowstorm and power outage, and Katie communicated with us right away that our automatic feeder wasn’t working. She worked with me to come up with a mitigation plan, and she offered to check on our cat the next day to make sure the kibble had dropped, even though we hadn’t booked her for another visit. She is an AMAZING sitter and very kind, generous human.”

About: Hi there! I am a former pet groomer with lifelong experience loving animals of all kinds! I have worked with senior animals, puppies, cats, and combative animals with professionalism and levity for 5+ years. I am super excited to get to know you and your animals. I am currently working summer camp jobs, and therefore have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am very excited to get to spend plenty of time with animals while I navigate a new move to the area! My previous job as a pet grooming assistant as well as babysitting animals in the past has given me a lot of experience in keeping animals safe and comfortable. I work extremely hard to understand animal behavior and body language in order to respect animals boundaries. I also prioritize safety when caring for other people’s animals because that is someone’s baby! It is important to me to do a job well, and that includes maintaining safety and care for all animals.
“Jessica took great care of my cat! It was clear from the daily cards that my cat warmed up to her quickly, and they spent good quality time snuggling and playing together.”
“Emily was quick and responsive to a last minute drop in request. She provided a thorough note after her visit letting me know how they spent their time and my pup’s behavior and mood. I appreciate her being so responsive and thorough!”
“Nevaeh was awesome! She sent us text updates including pictures/videos the whole time giving us peace of mind. Our dog Mallie loved her! Would definitely recommend!”
About: I grew up with two cats and two dogs, so I’ve been around pets for most of my life! I got my own dog five years ago, and I have been taking care of her ever since. I love any and all types of pets, and I have am flexible with times and can accommodate mamy different schedules. Along with taking care of my own dog, I am available throughout the day to stop in and check on/walk dogs. I am also available any day to stay over as a sitter. My one and only priority would be taking care of your pet. I would never be intrusive or inappropriate in your home. I would treat it with the respect I would want from a sitter.

Alex is always on time, she’s super reliable, communicates thoroughly, and is very loving and attentive with our fur babies. Regardless of how shy or how excitable each one of them is, Alex gives them each personalized attention so they all feel comfortable and happy. By far the best pet sitter we’ve worked with and the most detail oriented as well (which is a huge plus considering we have three pets that each require different care in their own ways). We always feel confident and reassured when they’re under her care. Thank you, Alex!!🐾😊🐈⬛🐕🐕
Carrianne was great and helped me feel more comfortable being away from my babies for a week! My cat loved her and immediately wanted to be friends. I loved the pictures she took and the descriptions of how the visits went. I’m very thankful to have had such a great sitter for my first Rover experience :)
Melissa was absolutely wonderful and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She took such great care of my cat for two days and made sure everything was handled with care and attention. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I really appreciated her reliability, kindness, and excellent communication throughout the stay. Coming home to a happy, well cared for cat was the best feeling. I would absolutely book with Melissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter. Thank you, Melissa, for your outstanding care.
Lindsay did an exceptional job caring for my dog while I was away. She was highly communicative throughout the entire stay, spent quality time with him, and regularly sent updates and photos that gave me peace of mind during my trip. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being and made sure he was comfortable and happy. I would absolutely trust Lindsay with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
