I am very flexible throughout the work week during the days that I don’t have an interview. While I unfortunately cannot host dogs in my own space, I am happy to come to you. I will give my upmost respect to your home and your pet by closely following your instruction.

About: I have a way with animals. Pets that don't like people typically tend to be my best friends. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My goal is to be friends with every animal I meet. You have fun and I will make sure your pet does as well. I work full time in sales, so I am quite flexible. I can typically work my schedule to fit around what I need to do. I am happy to drop in and hung out with your pet while you are away. I love to go for walks, so I will be happy to tire a pet out with some good walk time.

I have experience with families with three dogs, fish, lizards, and chickens I am a full time grad student at UW Milwaukee. mM classes are online so I mostly study at home but I will got to a coffee shop or the library. I run with my friends at least twice a week, and I have dinner with friends and family once a week. I have a fenced in back yard, and several large rooms in my house.

About: I have always had a dog in my life and mostly care for my parent’s dogs however live in Wauwatosa in an apartment with no pets in a very walkable area (I go for 2 walks a day). My family currently has 2 dogs- a 9 year old Atlas Mountain dog named Mila adopted from Tunisia; she is obviously emotionally scarred and usually takes a bit to warm up to people- so I understand the dogs who need some space at first but I know to love & care for each and every dog the same. My family's other dog, Mavis, is a 6 year old high energy border collie! I have experience with visiting and caring for people in the area's pets and also having them stay with me at my apartment to go for plenty of walks and visit many parks near me. I miss living with animals so much, so I happily take in pets to have the company. I will make sure your pet is loved and cared for fully at all times! I am currently working as a therapist doing clinical mental health counseling through a private practice so I am pretty flexible to work around your needs and schedule! Open to price adjustments to what fairly fits your situation best. I am very attentive to their needs and diligent to make sure they are fed, exercised, and cared for - will go above and beyond to care for others above all.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elm Grove
Olivia is absolutely amazing! She walked our dog Rumi for a week and made us feel completely at ease. She’s incredibly reliable, prompt and communicative, sending lots of updates and pictures. She went above and beyond, taking him on great long walks (rain or shine!) and even wiping his paws after it rained. Rumi loved his midday sniffing breaks and we loved how trustworthy she is. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely use her again!

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 Elm Grove. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Elm Grove after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
