“Always a pleasure. Pooh loves seeing Charles and we are thankful to have his help. Charles is easy to work with and great with our special needs senior dog.”

About: Hi! My name is Micayla! I’m 25 years old and just moved to the city of Milwaukee in June. I live in the Yankee Hill area and am an Elementary Ed teacher. This summer I am completing my masters online and take lots of breaks throughout the day to explore the city. I’ve owned dogs my whole life (sadly lost my fur baby back in November) and have plenty of experience pet sitting. I’m looking to start my journey on Rover by combining my two favorite pastimes which are going for walks and petting dogs! My hours during the week are super flexible, as I am only doing online schooling this summer! I am an early riser and am usually up with the sun at 6 and can take breaks whenever. I genuinely just love being around dogs and will protect them like they’re my own. I enjoy walking them on a leash or playing with them at the park (if they are trained off a leash)!

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. There’s never been a time where I didn’t have either a cat and/or dog where I was one of the primary caretakers. I’ve experience with everything from puppies to elderly dogs and cats of all kinds. I currently have 2 cats and a dog myself! Experience with reactive and/or highly anxious dogs that need particular care. Pets have boundaries and specialized needs just like humans and I aim to learn exactly what each of them need to provide the best care for your furry family! I have a daily flexible working schedule. With a hybrid working schedule there’s really only 2 days a week that I can’t provide day-time care (Tues and Thurs). Otherwise I’m able to step away or take my computer to your pet and work. Weekends are almost always free unless I have them blocked off. I am all about understanding the needs of a pet. All animals have different personalities and needs. If you make me aware of specifics I will do all that I can to meet your pet where they’re at. With the pets I’ve had in my personal life Ive learned to understand and care for cats and dogs with anxiety, elderly pets, reactive dogs, pets with special needs, and animals that are just a little more shy and cautious.

“McKenna was great with Randall! Would definitely recommend her!”


“Genesis is everything you’d want in someone taking care of your pet! She was amazing with my senior dog and was a fantastic communicator too! I would highly recommend her services to anyone and will definitely be seeing her again soon! Thanks Genesis :)”


“Kennedy is amazing! She is incredibly detailed with all the information she gives you about your pup and so it just gives you such a safe feeling! She is so kind and really great with pets, I would absolutely recommend her to anyone without a doubt! Book with her, she’s the best!”


About: I have been passionate about animals, big and small, my entire life! I have volunteered at humane societies, fostered animals in need, cared for the pets of family members and friends, interned at AZA-accredited zoos, and worked at wildlife sanctuaries. Currently I am a full-time licensed wildlife rehabilitator caring for injured and orphaned Wisconsin wildlife with the goal of releasing them back into the wild, but I have previously worked with a variety of domestic animals both in my personal and in my professional life. I am well versed in animal behavior, body language, and positive reinforcement. I promise to treat (and spoil) your pets like they are my own! At the moment I have 3 sweet cats, a high-energy dog, a mischievous chinchilla, and a gentleman of a ball python! Please do not hesitate to reach out and get to know me more! I currently work 4 days of the week at my full time job so I am only available select days. I am eager to spend time with your pets, however, so if my schedule shows I am unavailable, please reach out anyway as I try to be as flexible as possible! It is extremely important to me to use Fear Free tactics when interacting with any animal. Gaining the trust of you and your pet are my top priority!

About: I have a bulldog, Bruiser that’s 8 years old. My wife and I love him with all our hearts. I love animals so much. I am available most times during the week and some times on the weekend. When looking up “pet’s best friend” there will be a picture of me. Dogs and cats gravitate toward me because I am loving and full of joy. When I walk into a room and there is a dog on one side and a group of people on the other, I b-line it to the dog. I will walk your dog for as long as you’d like and as for cats, I can play with them and never get bored. I’m currently working on my entrepreneurial journey and have tons of free time for meeting new pets! This would be a joy of mine to spend extra time helping others I make sure to play with them in their homes in a way that’s comfortable to them. I get along with all dogs and play with them in a variety of ways.

About: welcome! 🔔 please confirm you have read my profile entirely when sending your booking request 🔔 Dogs have been apart of my life for over 25 years. I learned body language, how to care for them, and how to be patient and communicate with them from my amazing Grandfather. They truly bring me joy! I treat each pup as if they’re my own during our time together. 🐾 I will do everything I can to accommodate your pup’s needs & your desires. Whether it’s walks vs runs in the yard, administering medication, or preparing food, if I’m able to do it consider it done! As a pet parent, I know how stressful it can be to find reliable care. With that in mind, I strive to provide the BEST care for your dog the first time in order to lighten your load; giving you the peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in excellent hands. 🐶 I no longer work remotely, so I’m not available for drop ins, walks, or daycare M - Th prior to 5PM. I am willing to board throughout the week, but please note your pup will be home alone for about 11 hours. Fri-Sun, I am available all hours. 🚨 MEET & GREETS ARE MANDATORY FOR ALL SERVICES 🚨 Daycare & Boarding: - Please be mindful that I do have a dog of my own. If you know your dog does not do well with other dogs, please do not request a boarding or daycare. I am open to doing daycare in your home for the pups that prefer to be alone. request house sitting & I will adjust the rate! - my home is best suited for the chill guys and gals. lots of soothing music, lounging, & cuddles 💓. Honey Bun is very reserved inside & gets stressed around high energy dogs. To keep all involved happy & safe, please do not book daycare or boarding if your dog is an energizer bunny. I will be glad to drop in, walk, or do daycare in your home though! 😃 - I have a secured, fenced in yard. I am not willing to take any dog to the dog park. Both the front and back doors have additional doors down the stairs, so the chance of an escape is very close to zero! - I crate all dogs when I’m leaving the home, including Honey B even though she typically is not crated. in special situations, I’m okay leaving your dog to roam a designated area, but that is rare and will be discussed prior to the booking. - I do not have any guests while your dog is in my care. Drop Ins/Walks/House Sitting: - I ask that no other humans are in your home when I come over for drop ins, walks, or housesitting unless previously discussed. - Please book a drop in if care outside of walking is needed. - Please assure all animals that need care are listed individually on your profile. I love surprises, but not when it comes to this! - When coming into your home, I will always leave it just as I found it. I will only enter authorized areas as necessary to care for your pet(s). Please assure that all supplies are provided. 🐾 - We will discuss specific schedules for each housit. Some people prefer longer day time care with no overnight, or moderate daytime care + nights. We will workout the perfect schedule for you, your pup, and me 😊. I am NOT available for constant care (24 hours) as I will need to check in with my own dog & maintain my personal life with errands + self care.

“First time using Rover! Excellent experience. Travis was awesome. Prior to her first walk with him, he came over for a meet and greet which was very helpful. Right away, Whinnie could tell he was a dog lover. He also was very responsive to all of my questions I had in person and via the app. We will definitely use him again! It is such a good feeling to know our pup is being taken care of.”



“Charlotte was awesome. The dogs were a bit over excited at first but she did a great job of calming them down. Would recommend.”


“Nothing but great things to say about Jackie! She was able to walk Jenko on a last minute request. Have used her on multiple occasions since. Great communication and follow up. Definitely recommended her for any dog walking needs”


About: I have been around multiple cats, birds, and large dogs my whole life. I have years of experience taking care of all 3 types of animals due to this, along with the true love and passion I carry for all living creatures. I find taking my dogs on long walks not only therapeutic for myself, but for them as well. And who can resist cat love and cuddles! I treat my pets as my children, so it is more of myself fitting into their routine. My fur baby is named Ralph Waldo Picklechips, and he gets fed breakfast every morning at 7am and dinner at 8pm without fail. They have no problem letting me know if I am a little late. Every day is play day as research has fully shown that engaging with your animal daily is not just beneficial for them physically, but mentally as well. I understand that every home and animal owner has a different set of rules for their furry one’s care. My animals are very loved and their care is reflected with this. All of my animals are up to date on all vaccinations and medical appointments. I even have a cat with urinary issues that requires special food. Even though the food is expensive, I am always willing to pay for it because it is what is best for his health. I will treat your animals with the same love and care that I give my own and am willing to go above and beyond to accommodate any pet owner’s specific rules or requests.

About: I've had dogs at home since I was 6 years old. I have provided in-home, short term care, and dog walking services for fur babies of all sizes for the last 10 years! I will love & treat your dogs like my own to help ease your mind while you're away. I am a night shift nurse with a variable schedule, so I am very flexible for walks and visits. If you need late night walks, I'm your girl. If you need walks in the middle of your 9-5 day, I can take care of it for you! My dog is my entire world. She is allowed on the couch, sleeps in my bed, and goes for her own walks as often as possible. I will care for and love your pet like they're my own, regardless of the service you need!

“Samantha is excellent and reliable dog walker. She was able to assist our French Bulldog on daily walks while I was out teaching all day! Will definitely use her again if I need her!”


About: I have been pet sitting and walking pets since I was 14, I have a huge love for all pets no matter the size or needs. i have been taking care of pets even in my own neighborhood. I'm currently in college and looking to make a little money doing something I love while staying on top of my studies as well as working another job. In my home I keep a very clean and quiet environment to avoid any stress on pets. if the pet needs to be on a particular schedule, I am quick to learn that schedule and abide by it from start to end. I have a backyard and live close to multiple pet friendly parks to accommodate for any exercise and bathroom concerns

About: I am a part time college student. I am going to school to get my ECE Degree. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 by volunteering at humane societies and having my own dogs. I also worked at a doggy daycares throughout Florida and Wisconsin. I love all dogs like they are my children. I would love to own my own rescue center but as of now I want to gain more experience with taking care of different breeds and just express my love of animals to the world. I hope that you choose me to be a temporary parent for your dog and that he or she is in perfect hands and will feel at home. Thank you. Hopefully we speak soon. I work third shift for Target and dog sit during the day. I make sure they are taken out three-four times and feed twice a day. I care for them like they are children. Go on walks, feed, cuddle. Run like crazy and crash from exhaustion. I also love getting to know the dogs personality.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, dogs all through my childhood and cats all through my adult life. I have experience with caring for multiple animals and training as well. I have an open schedule at the moment, working on school online so I have a lot of free time. I love to walk dogs and sit at your home, as I have a shy kitten at home who doesn’t mix well with other animals. I love to make your animal comfortable, and I understand not everybody’s will warm up to you right away. I make effort to keep in contact with you to make sure your pet’s needs are all met.

About: My name is Tishara I am from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I have volunteered in multiple humane societies for a good year, working with all kinds of pets and learning about their behavior. I also was a past walker on rover 3 years ago as a side job when I attended high school. So, I’m Glad I am able to continue my journey with Rover, and will be able to walk different kinds of dogs or cats.

I am confident that my skills and experience make me a great candidate for this position. I work a standard 9–5 schedule Monday through Friday, so I make sure to build pet care into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. Each morning, I start the day by feeding my pet, refreshing their water, and taking them out for a short walk or some quick playtime before work. After I get home, I dedicate time to a longer walk or more active engagement to make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. On weekends, I usually carve out extra time for grooming, vet appointments if needed, and longer outings like park visits or socialization. I stay consistent with feeding and cleaning schedules, and I always make sure my pet feels cared for even during my busiest weeks. When caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment. I follow a consistent routine that includes regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and any special care based on the pet’s needs, such as medication or grooming. I also make sure the space is secure and enriched with toys, comfort items, and plenty of interaction to keep pets happy and stress-free.

Franklin Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our dog Shawnee loved going for her daily walk with Adrienne. She is going to miss her terribly! I would recommend Adrienne to anyone!

Stephanie is awesome! He is extremely communicative throughout the entire process and truly goes above and beyond. It seems like he really cares about animals and he was great with taking care of my dog while I was out of town. If I could give him more stars, I would!

Lauren was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and great with our dog, Boomer. Definitely recommend!

Caitlin was super friendly and respectful. She followed all my instructions and took awesome care of my dog Remi. We will definitely work with her again!

Jenna does an amazing job always! She is great at communicating and understanding expectations, along with doing so good with my pup. Would recommend her to anyone

Genevieve was absolutely amazing with my dog (Malibu)! Malibu was shaking & scared from a stranger, but by the second visit Genevieve gained her trust and was able to take her outside. Genevieve was so sweet and patient with Malibu. She also communicated her progress each day with us to let us know how it went.
