House Sitting in Elm Grove

“Emily was great at communicating with us the entire stay, and we could tell from all her updates and pictures that our pups loved having her around. Our flight ended up getting delayed because of the blizzard rolling through Wisconsin this past weekend, and Emily was able to help make sure our pups were let out and fed while we figured out how to get back to Milwaukee. I would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone else looking for expert and friendly care for their pups on Rover. Thank you again!”

About: I’ve been looking after fluffy frens of all shapes and sizes from a young age. My time doing a full house/dog sitting gig was for my grandparents and their French bulldog, Sugar (miss you, Sugs!). Since then I have been the go-to for my friends and family for taking care of their for legged family. I make sure your fury family gets the love and care they need, whether you just have one smol dog or a pack of greyhounds. I currently had a stretch of rough health luck, but my ails are your pups gain! I’m currently on the mend, and it’s going well, but between jobs, so my schedule is wide open. I’ll have the time to give your pups the TLC they deserve! Currently unavailable to board pets at my house, but I will make sure to treat all pets in a safe and caring way. I’ll treat them like a newborn baby, because hey, in a way they are!

“Lexi was great with my particular and somewhat shy senior dog. We planned drop-ins prior to the full weekend, which worked great for Lexi and my Coco to get to know each other a little. Lexi is very responsive and gave updates. I will feel more comfortable taking trips and time away with Lexi caring for my girl!”

“Melissa was amazing with our two labs. She took impeccable care of them and our home. She is conscientious, organized and soooo kind! Our girls loved her. Lots of pictures and updates. Our minds were at ease during our last minute getaway! Would absolutely recommend!”

Wendy P.

“Jenn was reliable and consistent, she did a great job staying with our 2 cats and sent lots of updates! I felt at ease knowing she was at our house when we were gone, look forward to booking with her again!”

“Keisha was a Godsend, one of our cat's requires daily meds, which he hates taking, and she made sure he got them with understanding and positivity, even when personally tested knowing the need that he received them.”

“Angela did a great job making my dog feel comfortable while I was not home, My little dog is very afraid of storms and Angela was great at staying with her and making her feel as comfortable as possible during the storms. She communicated with me to let me know Zara was doing well. I would defiantly use her again to take care of my dog”

Kathy S.

“Beth is a Godsend! She stayed at our home for five days and took exceptional care of our many animals: our dog, cats, rabbits, Guinea pig and fish. We came back to a tidy house and relaxed animals. She took our dog on two mile walks and sent photos and updates regularly. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She is kind and considerate. We highly recommend Beth!”

About: I’m 19 and have had dogs my entire life, so I’m very comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and understanding their needs and personalities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. In addition to dogs, I’ve also cared for cats, bunnies, and other small pets for neighbors, friends, and family. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Whether your pet is energetic or more relaxed, I’ll make sure they get the care, attention, and affection they’re used to. I’m a full-time college student, but my class schedule is flexible, which gives me good availability on weekends and certain weekdays. I’m able to plan my schedule around pet care and can provide walks, drop-ins, feeding, and playtime. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet gets consistent care and attention. I’m very safety-oriented with my own pets and will treat yours with the same level of care and responsibility. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, leash use, and any specific needs. I pay close attention during walks and visits to make sure your pet stays safe, comfortable, and stress-free. Building trust with both pets and owners is very important to me.

“Awesome professional and very good at communicating.”

About: When you book with me; you will be booking my entire family; including 3 kids. Your dog must tolerate children. Ever since our dog passed away in 2020, we have been getting our dog fix through dog sitting and are having the best time doing so. We are very experienced, responsible, and loving. Our house is busy but always filled with people. I work out of the home during the week and am off on weekends. We do prefer crate trained dogs, but that’s not required. We have a giant fenced in yard, a clean home and lots of love ready to share with your dog. At this time, we only watch dogs in our home. Also, although I have a family, I will be the primary caretaker of your dog.

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.

About: After graduating from Harvard, I moved from the Northeast to Wisconsin to train for speed skating. I grew up as a critter kid: my dad was a veterinarian and my mom worked in science museums, so I was raised around all sorts of animals, from birds, axolotls, and geckos to furry dog and cat companions. Since my move, I have been "dog-lonely" and am looking to show your animals some love. My family has always had huskies, so I am comfortable around big, goofy, energetic, and sometimes stubborn dogs. I love taking dogs for walks, but even more so, running with them if they are able. As a professional photographer, I also offer pet photography so you can keep permanent memories of your scaley, feathered, and furry family members. I am a speed skater, so my days consist of morning and evening workouts. I'm available during the day (10am-3pm) and overnight (after 7pm) to take care of your pets. I will always ask for a meet and greet before caring for your pets. My pet care will occur in your home and neighborhood. For walks, I will only take one household's dogs for a walk at a time. I can follow detailed instructions to a T and will maintain your animal's routines while you're away. I can be counted on in an emergency and know what a vet emergency looks like, and you can expect clear and timely communication from me around the care and health of your animals.

“Jordan was fantastic! She did a great job housesitting and taking care of our dog and other animals while we were away. Our dog is very anxious when separated from us, and hasn't done well boarding in the past. This was our first experience with a sitter in home, and Jordan made the process super easy! Winston loved her, Jordan kept us up to date with regular communication...I can't say enough good things! We'll definitely re-book with her in the future! Thanks Jordan!”

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: Hi! My name is Maya, and I have always had a huge love for animals of all kinds. I have experience caring for my own two small dogs, ages 14 and 6, so I understand the patience, attention, and love pets need in every stage of life. Along with dogs, I’ve also owned and cared for small animals such as hamsters. I also have experience working in the stables at camps, where I helped care for around 40 horses, goats, and other animals roaming the property, including dogs. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how important it is to make animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them lots of attention and companionship! My schedule is fairly flexible this summer! However, I am unavailable June 9–22. On weekdays, I work from 8:30 AM–12:30 PM, but I am available before and after those hours. A couple times a week, I also teach swim lessons for short 3–4 hour shifts. I will always communicate clearly about availability and make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and time throughout the day. Creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your pets is my top priority. I will follow all general safety practices, as well as any additional instructions or routines provided by each family to ensure their pets feel secure and cared for. I understand every pet has different needs, personalities, and boundaries, and I will always treat them with patience, attention, and care as if they were my own.

“Scott really helped us out with a week of drop-in visits for our two dogs, one of which is rather unpleasant with strangers. He also agreed to oversee our coop of chickens which was very helpful. Scott was accomodating and generally a good communicator, and the pups seemed to like him. I think he did a fine job. We would definitely work with Scott again.”

“Amber is amazing, she came over and our dogs took to her immediately. Our oldest puppy can be a little challenging due to her being skittish, but Amber’s personality and energy helped ease her nervousness. Very reliable, and was able to help us out on short notice. I HIGHLY recommend!”
